His eyes lit up because there was an antidote.
Qian Jiyun chuckled and took a porcelain bottle from An Jiuyue. He poured out a few pills and held them in his palm.
There were yellow and red pills. He took one each and poured the rest back into the porcelain bottle.
“Your Majesty, take the medicine.”
He approached the old Emperor, crouched down, and extended his hand.
The old Emperor was about to reach for it when he looked down and saw the pills in Qian Jiyun’s hand. His expression froze, and he looked up at him.
“Why… are there two types?”
He had a bad feeling. He knew Qian Jiyun would not give him the antidote so easily.
“Oh. Your Majesty, one of these two pills is an antidote, and the other is poison.” As expected, he heard Qian Jiyun’s malicious voice.
“Which one is the antidote?” the old Emperor asked immediately.
“I don’t know either. These two medicinal pills got accidentally mixed together during the refining process. We can’t tell them apart.”
Qian Jiyun picked up one of the pills and handed it to the old Emperor.
“Why don’t you try eating one first, Your Majesty? Perhaps you’ll be lucky enough to choose the antidote. However, I must remind you that the poison is very lethal—the kind that can make you bleed and suffocate.
“If Your Majesty accidentally chooses poison, please don’t charge me with regicide!”
“You—”
The old Emperor closed his eyes and felt even more dizzy. His vision blurred, and the two distinct colors of medicinal pills appeared as one.
“Qian Jiyun, you’re doing this on purpose!”
This had to be deliberate. He wanted to use poison to control him and force him to listen to them.
“Your Majesty, you’ve wronged me. How can I do this on purpose? I didn’t refine this medicinal pill. I’m not a medicine refiner. How can I distinguish between poison and antidote so clearly?”
Qian Jiyun chuckled and looked at the old Emperor innocently.
“Your Majesty, why don’t you eat both? One of them is the antidote anyway. It won’t hurt even if you eat it with the poison. It can alleviate the poison in your body and prevent it from acting up immediately.
“In the future, if Your Majesty takes two medicinal pills each month, I can guarantee you’ll live to a hundred years old.”
The old Emperor was speechless.
If not for the fact that his life was in Qian Jiyun’s hands, he would have risked his life to kill Qian Jiyun.
Qian Jiyun was so close to him now. Although he was not entirely confident, he could give it a try.
“Qian Jiyun, good! You’re very good!”
He took a deep breath and glared at Qian Jiyun fiercely. In the end, he had no choice but to pick up the two pills in Qian Jiyun’s palm and throw them into his mouth.
“Of course, I’m very good.” Qian Jiyun clapped his hands and stood up.
Since the old Emperor had taken the pills, he was not in the mood to talk to him anymore.
“Eldest Brother, this bottle of medicinal pills is for you. Just give him two pills a month.” He handed the bottle to Eldest Brother Yan.
Eldest Brother Yan nodded and took the porcelain bottle. He studied it carefully and chuckled.
