FSC [QT] Chapter 101.2

Arc 5: Swapping Lives (50)

Advertisement

“Three years ago, I owed Imperial Physician Wang a favor.”

Yu Yan’s voice was very soft, for fear that no one else could hear it except Wang Miao who was closest to him.

Wang Miao thought that Yu Yan had forgotten him. Even if he remembered, with his current power and status, he would not remember the old feelings. He didn’t expect that Yu Yan would say such a thing to him.

Did this prove that he still had some conscience in his heart?

Wang Miao wanted to persuade Yu Yan.

Since ancient times, those eunuchs who had disrupted the government had never had a good ending.

Although Yan Zhongying was arrogant now, he had no offspring, so he was destined to be unable to overthrow the Li Dynasty.

Once he showed his flaws, he would definitely be attacked by everyone. At that time, as Yan Zhongying’s lackey, Yu Yan would not have a good ending.

Just as Wang Miao was thinking, Yu Yan had left and walked straight to the inner room.

“How is it? Did you vent your anger?”

When Yu Yan entered, Yan Zhongying was holding a white jade purification bottle the size of a baby’s palm, sniffed it heavily at the bottle mouth, and then showed an intoxicated expression.

He stepped barefoot on the belly of a young eunuch who looked only twelve or thirteen years old. The force was sometimes light and sometimes heavy.

The young eunuch’s face turned purple. Even if he was being stepped on, he did not dare to make a sound to disturb the chief supervisor’s interest.

“To answer Godfather, I can’t say I’ve vented my anger. I can only say I’ve recovered the interest.”

Yu Yan, as if he hadn’t seen the scene of the ugly and perverted old man bullying and training the young eunuch, walked respectfully to Yan Zhongying and added some more white powder to his purification bottle.

This is Changshou Powder, which is a relatively outstanding product among the pill formulas developed by the Taoists recruited by Emperor Qian. Not only did Emperor Qian use it day and night, but Yan Zhongying also used it.

Changshou Powder is made from cinnabar, realgar, alum, zengqing, cishi, and other medicinal materials. Long-term use has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin, and the effect is immediate.

It was precisely because of this that Emperor Qian firmly believed that there was an immortal in the world. He took Changshou Powder day and night, hoping to rely on this medicine to retain his youth until he developed the real immortal medicine.

In addition to beautifying the skin, Changshou Powder has another effect, that is, the spirit will be temporarily high after taking it.

Emperor Qian once saw himself ascending to heaven in broad daylight after taking Changshou Powder. Yan Zhongying also saw his clone, which was cut off when he was young, grow up again and give birth to a bunch of children after taking Changshou Powder.

Perhaps they saw hope in the illusory dream. Since then, the two people have become more and more inseparable from Changshou Powder.

Yan Zhongying admired ‘Yan Yu’ as his adopted son, so after recognizing him as his adopted son, he rewarded him with some Changshou Powder.

Yu Yan tried to take it once.

With an ecstatic feeling, at that time, Yu Yan returned to the time when he was five years old.

There were no usurers, and there was no so-called sister being sold. In the dream, he and his sister lived happily in Xiaoxi Village.

Picking mushrooms, pulling wild vegetables, and occasionally finding a small fruit forest could make them happy for several days.

The dream was very short. After breaking free from the dream, Yu Yan couldn’t wait to take the second puff of Changshou Powder.

But just when Changshou Powder was about to be inhaled into his nasal cavity, Yu Yan struggled to put it down.

The dream was so beautiful that he was afraid that he would not be able to wake up.

At the same time, the reality was too cruel. Facing the perfect self in the dream, he would only feel more and more despicable, incomplete, perverted, and disgusting.

Yu Yan felt that this was not a good medicine for longevity, but a poison that forced people to go to a dead end.

Especially after taking it once, his dreams for several days were all hallucinations of that time. Several times, his hands subconsciously reached for the remaining pile of Changshou Powder, as if he was possessed.

Realizing this, Yu Yan became more and more convinced that this was not a good thing. He directly poured the remaining Changshou Powder into the toilet bucket.

From then on, he never touched such things again, but he never reminded Yan Zhongying that this was not a good thing.

“Hahaha—”

After listening to ‘Yan Yu’, Yan Zhongying laughed so hard that he almost shed tears.

This kid was so interesting. He was far more vicious and mean-spirited than he imagined.

If his investigation was not wrong, the young eunuchs who were tortured to the last breath outside the door were all people who had offended ‘Yan Yu’.
