"Fang Xiang's life span has ended, and I have no choice!" In the medicine, Sun Simiao said with a depressed expression at this time. He was also invited to treat Fang Xuanling in the past two days, but Fang Xuanling had reached the end of his life span, and he had no choice.

"Life and death have fate, there is nothing to do about it." Li Xiu sighed at this time and said, Fang Xuanling's condition is getting worse and worse. He was awake a few days ago, but now he has been in a coma for several days and cannot even take medicine. I'm afraid the deadline will be in these days.

"Life and death are destined." Sun Simiao's expression became a little strange when he heard Li Xiu's words. After a while, he spoke again, "Mr. Concubine, after I helped Fang Xiang treat him today, Your Majesty summoned me to the palace. In addition to asking about Fang Xiang's physical condition, he also asked me a question."

"Problem? What's the problem?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard Sun Simiao's words.

"This..." Sun Simiao hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "Actually, I don't know what Your Majesty means. But yesterday, after asking Fang Xiang's condition, His Majesty asked me again, is there any pills in this world that can make people immortal?"

Hearing Sun Simiao's words, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a slump in his heart. The situation he was most worried about still happened. This made him ponder for a moment and said again: "Then Master Sun, how did you answer Your Majesty?"

Sun Simiao smiled bitterly at this time, and then said, "I'm not to hide it from the prince-consort. When I was young, I had thought about immortality. However, I saw many people in Taoism who practiced alchemy and took medicine to seek immortality. However, they did not seek immortality, but they all became short-lived. The better ones were also a disease. This made me feel that the road to alchemy was not clear, so I turned to studying medicine, hoping to use medical skills to seek immortality. But later I learned more, the more I felt that the theory of immortality was a bit absurd."

It was the first time that Sun Simiao said these words to others. He took a long breath when he said this, and then he answered Li Xiu's words positively: "Your Majesty asked about the elixir of immortality, I can only tell him that there may be medicines or methods to prolong life in this world, but although I have heard of the elixir of immortality from time to time, I have never really seen it."

"Your Majesty should be very disappointed when he heard the Taoist priest's answer, right?" Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh. People will change, especially when people get old, their lives will come to an end. Ordinary people may have to passively accept it, but for an emperor who controls a huge empire, he has too many things to let go and too many people cannot satisfy him. Therefore, he wants to control everything, including his own life and death, which is one of the reasons why many emperors yearn for immortality.

"Yes, after hearing my answer, His Majesty also showed a very disappointed look on his face. He was silent for a long time before waved me to leave." Sun Simiao couldn't help but sigh. Although he was not an official, he had read history books, so he naturally knew the possible consequences of an emperor's pursuit of immortality. This was also the reason why he told Li Xiu about this.

Li Xiu was also silent for a long time at this time. The old Li Shimin, like Qin Shihuang, wanted to pursue immortality. This was obviously not a good thing for the Tang Dynasty. In addition, he remembered that in later history books, the records of Li Shimin's death were very vague, but it was mentioned that Li Shimin had taken elixirs in the last few times and even summoned Buddhist Taoism to enter the palace. Therefore, many people in later generations speculated that Li Shimin might have died by taking elixirs.

"The Taoist priest must keep this matter confidential and must not be spread, otherwise it may cause a big disaster." After being silent for a long time, Li Xiu finally advised Sun Simiao very cautiously.

"Don't worry, my son-in-law, I know the importance of it." Sun Simiao said solemnly at this time. He often went to and from the palace, so he naturally knew that even if some things were rotten, they would never reveal a word.

That night, Li Xiu returned home and kept thinking about Li Shimin. It is definitely nonsense to live forever. Maybe Li Shimin in history was really killed by taking pills as later generations speculated. After all, he was only fifty-one when he died. Although Li Shimin is not in good health now, he cannot die so early.

"Dongdong~" While Li Xiu was pondering in the study, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside, and then a maid whispered to report, "Master, Mr. Zhao is visiting!"

"Please come in!" Li Xiu immediately stood up when he heard the maid's words and said, "The so-called Master Zhao actually refers to Zhao Deyan. After Ma Master passed away, he took over Feinusi, and his two children were all studying at Li Xiu's house. Therefore, he often came to Li Xiu's house, and the servants in the mansion called Master Zhao.

After a while, Zhao Deyan was guided by his servant to the study. Li Xiu also stood up and greeted him and said, "Brother Deyan, why are you here so late? Isn't there anything wrong with me?"

"Haha, there is something really wrong. There is also some news about the second young master. The prince-consort will definitely be very interested." Zhao Deyan said with a smile at this time.

"Jin'er? Your Majesty has already punished him to garrison in Monan. He won't cause any trouble again, right?" Li Xiu couldn't help but show a headache when he heard Zhao Deyan's words. Although the punishment for Li Jin has been reduced, it probably hasn't been sent to Mobei. So Li Jin is still under Li Daozong. For his own face, Li Daozong will definitely not be too strict with Li Jin. With Li Jin's temperament, what might happen?

"Hahaha~, I know my son, no one is better than my father. It seems that the prince consort knows the second son. However, this time he did not cause trouble, but made great contributions, especially this contribution is related to our Feinusi." Zhao Deyan laughed at this time.

"This kid is so bold. He made a contribution last time, but he had to punish him. What did he do this time?" Li Xiu was a little helpless at the end. It was definitely impossible to make Li Jin as worry-free as Heianlang. As a father, he might have to wipe his butt for him many times?

"Your son-in-law this time, you misunderstood the second young master. He has indeed made great contributions this time. You will know if you listen to me!" Zhao Deyan laughed again at this time, and then he talked about some of Li Jin's recent things.

It turned out that Li Jin led his troops to repel the Uighurs last time, and Li Daozong did not dare to let him lead the troops anymore, but let him stay by his side. However, Li Jin was not a calm person. As soon as the Uighurs sent envoys to discuss the border with Li Daozong, Li Jin did not know what method to use, but actually had a relationship with the Uighur envoy. In just a few days, the two of them called brothers and brothers, and it is said that they also formed brothers of different surnames.

"It's just an envoy. It's nothing that Jin'er talked to him about to be brothers. You don't want to tell me about this, right?" Li Xiu looked at Zhao Deyan with a strange expression when he heard this.

"Haha~, the prince-consort doesn't know that this envoy is not an ordinary person. He is Tu Midu's son, named Po Run. Although the second son led his troops to defeat the Uighurs, Po Run was very arrogant. Not only did he not hold a grudge against the second son, he felt that the second son had a heroic spirit. In addition, the two of them had an objection, so they formed brothers of different surnames." Zhao Deyan spoke again at this time.

"It turns out that it is Tu Midu's son. You don't want to use Jin'er's relationship to make trouble in the Uighurs, right?" Li Xiu immediately understood when he heard this, and then looked at Zhao Deyan with a smile and said, "What Feinusi did is not very bright. Since this Po Run is the son of the Uighur Khan, it is of great use to Feinusi."

"It's true that I can't hide it from the prince's consort. In fact, it's not that we want to cause trouble, but that we know something and need to use the second prince's mouth to tell the matter to that Po Run." Zhao Deyan smiled again at this time.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiu asked immediately.

"This matter is nothing to our Tang Dynasty, but it is a big deal for the Uighurs. That is, Tu Midu's nephew Wu He wanted to rebel and kill Tu Midu to become a Khan." Zhao Deyan replied.

"So that's it. But how do you know that Wuhe is going to rebel? "Li Xiu nodded first, and then asked in confusion. Although the relationship between Uighur and the Tang Dynasty is good, it is too far from the Tang Dynasty. Even if Feinusi has great magical powers, he will not easily know such an important thing.

"Hehe, said that Wuhe had worked with our Feinusi before. The reason why Bazhuo died so quickly was because he was a chess piece by his side, and the reason why he was willing to do this was because we promised to support him as the Great Khan of the Uighurs." Zhao Deyan said with a shameless smile at this time.

"Then why do you betray him now?" Li Xiu said even more strangely when he heard this. Although it is unethical to destroy bridges across the river, it is simply too ordinary for Feinusi.

"We didn't think about destroying the bridges, but this Wuhe was too ambitious. Some time ago, the Uighurs eroded Xue Yantuo's hometown, but it was actually the one behind Wuhe. He hoped to use this matter to use the Tang Dynasty's hands to weaken Tu Midu's strength, and at the same time covetted Xue Yantuo's hometown. Such ambitious people are very difficult to control. Instead, Tu Midu is old and has no ambitions anymore, so we don't want Wuhe to take power." Zhao Deyan explained.

Hearing this, Li Xiu finally nodded. Although this matter involved Li Jin, it didn't matter much, so he did not object. When Zhao Deyan saw that he agreed, he felt relieved and then told Li Xiu about the situation of Li Jin and Ping Anlang in the Anbei Protectorate.

"By the way, something happened in the palace today. I felt something was wrong, so I wanted to hear your opinion from the prince consort." At this moment, Zhao Deyan suddenly said with a serious expression. The news from Li Jin was just brought by him. Now this is his real purpose in finding Li Xiu.
