The next day.
"Your current performance is somewhat beyond my expectations."
Su Qing looked at the somewhat nervous Elder Sister and said with a smile.
"I... I can only do these things, Master. Do you have confidence?"
Qin Lan Shan said in a low voice.
She very carefully straightened the clothes on him, smoothing out every wrinkle.
"Good girl, just wait for my news."
Su Qing's voice was calm and gentle.
After tidying up his clothes, he walked directly towards the Imperial Palace.
Instead of passively waiting for death, it's better to take the initiative.
What's more... he has great confidence in his gift.
Qin Lan Shan stood at the door, watching the young man leave, her eyes filled with worry.
She couldn't help clenching her fists, like a wife seeing her husband off on a long journey.
In fact, what she is worried about now is not whether this trip will be successful.
Even if it fails, the situation of the Tang State Residence will not be so bad.
She is worried that because of this matter, the Yan Emperor will punish him.
The landlady herself didn't realize that she was now worried about him, and cared about him very much.
Inside the Imperial Palace.
Su Qing went all the way unimpeded, without anyone stopping him.
After all, given the relationship between the Realm Protectorate and the royal family, this situation is actually quite normal.
When he was a child, he often came here to play, and he was quite familiar with it.
However, when entering the core area, a palace maid still made a notification.
After waiting for a few minutes, he was granted permission to enter the Imperial Study.
When Su Qing walked in, he instantly saw a strange yet familiar figure.
This is a figure wearing a Dragon Robe, looking quite stalwart.
Not a dying old man, but a vigorous middle-aged man.
His Qi and blood are like a dragon, surging endlessly, as if he could explode with terrifying power at any time.
After noticing this situation, a trace of surprise appeared in Su Qing's eyes.
In the past, he had no perception at all, which was somewhat fearless due to ignorance.
But as he stepped onto the path of cultivation, he truly felt that powerful sense of oppression.
Clearly, this was a very strong powerhouse.
And the other party's age was not as young as it appeared.
Due to cultivation and the art of preserving one's appearance, he didn't look old.
But... he had already reached his limit.
This was a sign of a final burst of glory, his lifespan had reached its boundary, and no matter how strong he was, there was no saving him.
"Su boy, you haven't been here in a long time."
"You've suddenly come to visit today, I presume you have something to ask of me?"
Yan Emperor gazed at the young man and said in a deep voice.
His face carried a hint of a smile, making him look like a kind elder.
But after saying those words, the pressure in his eyes suddenly increased.
Clearly, he was quite dissatisfied with the actions of this Young Master of the Realm Protectorate.
And the current question was more like waiting for Su Qing to give him an explanation and account.
"I have come today precisely because I have a great gift to present to Your Majesty."
Su Qing bowed and said.
According to the correct way to do things, he should actually be here to plead guilty.
But he didn't plan to do that, and instead chose a more effective method.
"Oh?"
Yan Emperor asked back with some surprise.
He had naturally thought about the scene of this young man coming to find him, but he didn't expect it to be this.
Such an approach was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.
However, Yan Emperor didn't care much about gifts or anything like that.
Wanting to impress him with a gift? What was there that he didn't already have?
Su Qing saw the indifference in the other party's eyes and directly placed the jade bottle on the table.
"What is this?"
Yan Emperor shook it with some curiosity, hearing a slight collision sound from inside.
"Pills, Your Majesty might as well see what effects these pills have."
Su Qing said with a smile.
Yan Emperor directly opened the bottle, and a faint fragrance spread out.
After smelling this fragrance, his spirit was instantly invigorated.
The originally surging blood and Qi seemed to settle down under the influence of this fragrance.
Could it be?!
The Yan Emperor hurriedly looked at Su Qing, his eyes filled with unconcealed eagerness.
"This is a Returning Spring Pill I bought from an eccentric expert."
"Just one pill can extend your life by three days, and there are three pills in this bottle."
Su Qing nodded, confirming the other's guess.
"Good, good, good!"
The Yan Emperor impatiently took out a pill.
He didn't bother testing for poison, but directly swallowed the pill.
His body was constantly sending out signals of craving, which already explained everything.
This was definitely a pill that could extend life!
Although the extension of life was not very long, it was enough to drive him crazy.
After swallowing it, the Yan Emperor felt a warm current rushing through his limbs.
He slowly exhaled, his eyes gleaming.
Divine medicine, this was the divine medicine he had been painstakingly seeking for many years!
"Your Majesty, besides giving gifts, I have another matter."
"I feel that there is something fishy about the Duke of Tang case and it should be carefully investigated."
Su Qing looked at the delighted Yan Emperor and slowly said another thing,
"It doesn't matter if we make mistakes, but it's not good if it affects Your Majesty's reputation."
"Well, young Su is right, I also think this matter should be handled with caution."
"Since you are so concerned, then I will appoint you to thoroughly investigate the Duke of Tang's collusion with foreign enemies."
"Let's set a limit of seven days, what does young Su think?"
The Yan Emperor, in a great mood, directly went along with the flow.
"No problem, Your Majesty, that expert should be able to refine the next batch of pills in seven days."
Su Qing instantly understood and agreed directly.
Seven days was obviously the emperor's hint.
But it didn't matter, the hidden dangers were temporarily resolved.
"Good, good, good, young Su is indeed a meritorious official of the country, contributing to the nation!"
The Yan Emperor let out a hearty laugh.
Now, the more he looked at this young man, the more pleasing he found him.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty, but..."
Su Qing's face showed just the right amount of embarrassment.
"Hmm? Su boy, is there something you're having trouble saying? Just tell me."
The Yan Emperor was taken aback and asked.
"There's no problem with the supply of pills, but the Realm Protectorate is very honest."
"These three pills alone have already emptied the Realm Protectorate's coffers."
"If there are more, I don't know if that expert will be willing to part with them."
Su Qing sighed softly and said.
"Su boy, if you need money, just tell me. Can it be that I can't provide for you?"
"Go and withdraw a thousand taels of gold first, and if it's not enough, tell me again."
The Yan Emperor said kindly.
He was not at all stingy in giving Su Qing rewards. Right now, nothing was more important than buying pills!
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Su Qing said immediately.
This wave, he had made a bloody profit!
Just then, a figure rushed in, full of grief and indignation.
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Young Master of the Realm Protectorate!"
The Prime Minister of the current dynasty issued a voice of grief and indignation.
