Work overtime

Chapter 709

Yuan Diqi paused and continued, "But at the same time, the Imperial Concubine will lose fifteen years of her life. As long as the lender is willing, the method of borrowing life can move the heavens and it will definitely work. This method has a higher chance of success than the previous methods."

The emotional pit is here.

All those bad ideas of beheading him ten thousand times before were just to let Jiaojiao lend him her life?

Li Beichen's expression changed instantly. He sneered and said angrily, "What nonsense! It's ridiculous! Drag him away."

Can't be killed yet.

irritable.

Liang Xiaobao, who was hiding in the shadow in the corner with his head down, almost fell to his knees.

This newcomer, Yuan Jianzheng, looks so young, can he be trusted to do things?
The Imperial Concubine's fifteen years of life are exchanged for His Majesty's five years of life. Is this too much for the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine?
If the Imperial Concubine is willing to lend, the exchange rate will be three to one, and she will suffer a great loss. If the Imperial Concubine is unwilling to lend, the Emperor will certainly feel rift and dissatisfaction with her, and may even banish her to the cold palace immediately.

What kind of suggestions are these? I'm really worried.

Now only the Imperial Concubine can enter the Emperor's heart. Could it be that Yuan Jianzheng is really a spy sent by the enemy, deliberately coming to sow discord and destroy the country's destiny?

"Master Yuan, kneel down quickly." Liang Xiaobao urged in a very small voice, "Hurry up."

Jiang Yuebai was shocked, stood up, sat on the edge of the couch, and gently held Li Beichen's hand. Her eyes were firm and gentle, as if telling him that she would accompany him no matter what happened.

She stared into Li Beichen's eyes, looking affectionate, but actually she was prying into his heart.

After all, survival is a normal human instinct, who doesn't want to live? Besides, he didn't want her life, he just borrowed her for fifteen years.

If she lives to be seventy, borrowing fifteen years would be okay. But if she lives to be forty, that would be miserable, as she would only have nine years left to live.

As an emperor with all the power in the world, when he heard there was a way to survive, he was not tempted?

Incredible.

As a career-minded person, she expressed her incomprehension.

Maybe he was just pretending to test her?

If I refuse, there will definitely be suspicion and resentment, right?
From the worst perspective, there is another possibility. If she does not agree to borrow her life, what if the emperor thinks she is disloyal to him and kills her to save her son? And he already has the eldest prince. It's not that he can't do without her.

Although this possibility is not great, it is hard to say when people are driven to despair and lose their minds, just like the Queen Mother's indulgence before her death.

As for the fifteen-year life span, if we can really gain five years, we might be able to find a way to extend it later. Just like a bank loan, we need to get through this difficult time first.

Moreover, she also has three Heaven and Earth Longevity Pills awarded by the system, each of which can extend her life by five years. She can also send the system to work in the cultivation world in exchange for pills that extend her life, and she can also look for immortal cultivation books. If she can succeed in cultivating immortals, extending her life by more than ten years is not a small matter.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuebai's confidence doubled. She grabbed Li Beichen's sleeve, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she said calmly, "I am willing."

Is it true? Does she really love me?
Li Beichen felt mixed emotions and was extremely moved after listening to it.

It would be a lie to say that I'm not tempted by extending my lifespan.

Jiang Yuebai's words gave Li Beichen hope.

What if it works? Of course he wants to live.

This made him feel painful.

"Jiaojiao." Li Beichen held Jiang Yuebai's hand, interlocked their fingers, and whispered, "I am touched by your kindness. But how can I let you make such a big sacrifice? We still have a son, and I am not the only one who can do it."

After saying this, his heart ached, and he was still afraid and uncomfortable. Could the emperor be sincere?

Is there such a stupid love brain? Is the author forcibly lowering his intelligence?
Jiang Yuebai smiled, "Although I am a woman, I also know the importance of my family, country and the world. If I can use my meager strength to help the emperor overcome difficulties and bring peace to the country, I will die without regrets. Yuan Jianzheng, there is no time to lose. When do you think we can start?"

Li Beichen held Jiang Yuebai's hand tightly, feeling moved and conflicted.

She looked like she meant business.

"Jiaojiao, don't rush to make a decision. Let's think about whether there is any other way."

He turned to look at the silent Yuan Diqi, "Sir Yuan, how much life does the Imperial Concubine have left?"

Jiang Yuebai thought, as expected, he still wants to live. All the previous words were just false courtesy.

"The Imperial Concubine's fate is beyond words. I cannot calculate it." Yuan Diqi answered honestly.

"Waste! What use are you to?!" Li Beichen said angrily. There was no cup to throw on the bed. He was so angry that he didn't know what to throw.

Seeing this, Yuan Diqi felt wronged and helpless, "I really can't figure it out. Even if you kill me, I still can't figure it out."

Seeing that Yuan Diqi was indeed helpless, Jiang Yuebai asked, "Excuse me, Lord Yuan, I heard that there is an elixir that can prolong life. Can it extend the emperor's life?"

Yuan Diqi shook his head. "Your Majesty and the Emperor are the most blessed people in this dynasty. The emperor's longevity is a destiny, and only Your Majesty can borrow it. No one else can do it. The elixir may be able to prolong the life of ordinary people, but for the Emperor, it is probably only a tonic."

Jiang Yuebai thought to himself, I understand, it is the way of heaven that controls the total amount of lifespan.

"Heresy!" Li Beichen said sarcastically.

Jiang Yuebai shook Li Beichen's hand and said, "Your Majesty, I have made up my mind and am willing to do this for you. As long as there is life, there is hope. We must give it a try. Lord Yuan, should we remove the poison first or prolong my life first?"

"Royal Concubine." Li Beichen felt a warm current surge in his heart and called out softly, feeling complicated, moved and grateful.

Is she serious? If she is acting, isn't it too much?
Jiang Yuebai smiled and looked at Yuan Diqi.

Yuan Diqi bowed and said respectfully, "Since your majesty and the queen have made the decision, at noon tomorrow when the sun is at its brightest, at the position of Lihuo, I will perform a ceremony to remove the poison for your majesty. From now until noon tomorrow, you cannot eat, you can only drink water. I will borrow your majesty's life on the fifteenth day of next month."

Upon hearing this, Li Beichen looked at Jiang Yuebai and asked, "Where is the position of Lihuo?"

Yuan Diqi explained, "The location of Lihuo is in Wutong Pavilion in the southeast corner of the palace. The ground veins there are special, and it is the most yang place in the palace."

"Then let's give it a try. Go back and prepare first."

Li Beichen had regained his sanity and was no longer as excited as before. He was skeptical about the idea of ​​completely removing the poison and borrowing life. He had seen many arrogant officials over the years. Yuan Diqi might be another one.

After Yuan Diqi left, Jiang Yuebai immediately said to Li Beichen very happily, "Your Majesty, there is finally a way to cure the poison!"

Li Beichen couldn't bear to pour cold water on Jiang Yuebai, "Yes. Finally there is hope."

After saying that, he sat up and hugged Jiang Yuebai in his arms, and whispered above her head, "Jiaojiao, the person I want to thank most for all this is you."

He rubbed Jiang Yuebai's hair with his chin, with a thousand words in his heart.

Jiang Yuebai: "Rest early and get some rest."

"Yeah," Li Beichen closed his eyes and put his face against Jiang Yuebai's forehead, "Jiaojiao loves you."

Jiang Yuebai thought of Sister Yi who was also poisoned. Could she be saved now?
She raised her head and looked at Li Beichen, "Your Majesty, Lord Yuan can cure your Majesty's poison, so he should be able to cure Sister Yi's poison, right? How about letting Sister Yi go with us tomorrow at noon?"

Li Beichen had just thought of this. Since he could cure his poison, the poison of the concubines in the harem should also be cured, right?
"Let's see. If it really works, then ask Yuan Jianzheng."
