Chapter 1225: The women are surprised and sow discord

Why can’t the elixir of immortality bring immortality?

Gao Yao left the hall in despair. He wanted to find a place to think carefully about whether he still had a "future".

After Gao Yao left, Su Mingzhe could not wait to pull Concubine Li to the lounge at the back for a thorough conversation.

When Concubine Li took the elixir of immortality, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Her body was shaped by then, which allowed Su Mingzhe to enjoy a different kind of happiness.

At noon, Su Mingzhe suddenly remembered that he still had a lot of government affairs to deal with, so he could only reluctantly let the eunuch send Concubine Li to see the sisters Yu Shu and Yu Rong.

The harem, Xingqing Palace.

Sisters Yu Shu and Yu Rong, who were having lunch, were very happy to see their niece Princess Lian coming. However, after asking, they learned that their niece had already been used by Su Mingzhe, and they suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

However, now that things have come to this, the two women will not say anything.

After all, the sisters naturally know their men's personalities very well.

This kind of thing cannot be blamed on Princess Lian at all.

After the three girls had finished their meal, Yu Shu and Yu Rong brought Lian to Yongle Palace.

Yongle Palace was the bedroom of Queen Lu Su.

When Yu Shu and the other two arrived, they saw Lu Zhi and Lu Susu were also there.

Everyone finished the ceremony.

Yu Shu opened her mouth and introduced Lian's identity.

When the three sisters of Lü Yu learned that Concubine Li was rescued from the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, they all thought of something almost instantly and immediately asked in surprise:
"Sister Yushu, you said that Concubine Li was sent to the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang to be buried alive with him. It has been three years now. What did she eat and drink in there?"

"I have taken the elixir of immortality, which allows me to live without food or drink... However, the king said that the elixir I took has side effects..."

Faced with the queen's questioning, Concubine Li did not dare to hide anything and honestly recounted her situation and the conversation between Su Mingzhe and Gao Yao to the three Lu sisters.

"You said the king also took the elixir of immortality?"

Lü Zhi accurately grasped the message in Concubine Li's words, and couldn't suppress her inner astonishment and asked:

"When did Your Majesty take the elixir of immortality? How come we don't know?"

The other girls were also hearing the news for the first time and they all couldn't believe it.

Concubine Li didn't know the specific situation. Faced with the women's confusion, she could only describe the situation in the hall at that time.

The girls couldn't guess the answer, but they all started to have some ideas.

After all, no matter whether this elixir of immortality has any side effects or not, it is true that it can make people immortal, prolong their life and keep them young forever.

How many people in this world can resist the temptation of immortality and eternal youth?

Therefore, at this moment, all the women had one idea in their minds, that they must find a way to find a man to give them an elixir of immortality.

No, there are also my own children.

The girls were so excited that they didn't feel like talking any more.

Soon, Yu Shu, Yu Rong and Concubine Li said goodbye and left.

At this time, Lu Susu, who was the most thoughtful, was also preparing to take a nap, but unexpectedly, Lu Zhi spoke up and stopped her:
"Big sister, little sister, do you know that General Han Xin has won seven battles in a row and is about to destroy the King of Chu?"

"I know."

Lu Yu didn't know what her second sister meant, but she still responded casually:

"The king commented on the general, saying that 'Han Xin recruited soldiers, the more the better', and once said that when the general destroyed the State of Chu, he would make him the Prince of Huaiyin, a position equivalent to that of my elder brother, the Prince of Sishui, and he would also be the tutor of the crown prince!"

After hearing what Lu Xu said, Lu Zhi showed a hint of sourness in her eyes.

Both were Lu Gong's legitimate daughters, but Lu Su became the legal wife after marriage, while she could only be Teng's concubine.

Now that everyone has given birth to a son, Lu Xu's son can inherit the throne of the King of Han, and even inherit the throne in the future, while her own children can only inherit a title at most, and whether they will have a fiefdom is another matter.

I'm afraid that if a man gets the elixir of immortality in the future, I may not be able to get a share of it, right?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She returned to her bedroom with a dazed expression and smashed a lot of bottles and jars in anger.

She took a nap in a depressed mood. When she woke up, she saw that the sky was gloomy, so she asked the female official beside her:

"Have you, Your Majesty, come to the harem to rest?"

The female official did not dare to hide it and quickly replied:

"Your Majesty, the king has already gone to Xingqing Palace."

"You went to Xingqing Palace again?"

When Lu Zhi heard this, she became even more annoyed.

The man went to Xingqing Palace yesterday, and he went again today. Aren’t they just three Rongdi girls? How can the man not have enough fun?
Feeling depressed, Lu Zhi came to Yongle Palace again.

This time, Lu Susu was not there, and Lu Xu was asking about the schoolwork of Crown Prince Liu Xu.

The three Lu sisters, and six daughters, Cao, Yusu, and Yurong, gave birth to a total of nine sons and six daughters for Su Mingzhe.

Among them, Liu Xu is the oldest, already four years old.

Because he was the eldest son, Liu Xu was designated as the heir to the title as soon as he was born.

Later, Su Mingzhe became king and Liu Xu was made crown prince.

When Lu Xu saw her second sister coming, she thought that Lu Zhi was missing her child, so she asked the nanny to call the third prince and the second princess.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system.

Regardless of whether they are legitimate or illegitimate, all princes and princesses are raised by the queen. If other concubines miss their own children, they can only come to the queen to watch for a while.

Lu Zhi quickly stopped the nanny:

"Sister, I'm here to see you."

"Looking for me?"

Lu Xu was stunned for a moment, but finally reacted, waved her hand, and asked the nanny to take the prince away.

When there was no one else in the hall, Lü Zhi sat down beside Lü Su with a nervous look on her face and said:

"Sister, the king just went to Xingqing Palace yesterday, and he went there again today!"

"Just go!"

After being married to Su Mingzhe for five years, Lu Sui gave birth to three children, two sons and one daughter. It can be said that most of the time she was either pregnant or taking care of the children. Serving the man was basically the job of the other women.

Lu Zhi also remembered that her elder sister was magnanimous in matters between men and women, so she could only remind her quietly:
"Sister, if it's just going to bed, it's fine. But you say, the king dotes on Yu Shu and the others so much, will...will..."

Seeing her sister's hesitation in speaking, Lu Yu asked curiously:

"Could it be anything?"

Lü Zhi gritted her teeth and spoke out her "conjecture":
"Will it be bad for you or Xu'er?"

"impossible!"

Lu Xu understood the meaning behind Lu Zhi's words.

In other words, will Su Mingzhe depose the queen and the crown prince?

Lu Xu was not worried at all about Lu Zhi's reminder.

Su Mingzhe had a chat with Lu Xu on the day he became king.

Generally speaking, founding monarchs would hate to destroy the ancestral temple rituals and laws. Therefore, after the founding of the Han Dynasty, Lu Xu, the legal wife, was naturally the queen, and the eldest son Liu Xu was naturally the crown prince, and they would never be changed.

This is the guarantee Su Mingzhe gave to Lu Xu.

Lu Xu always kept the man's promise in her heart and believed it without a doubt.

Now that Lu Zhi came to remind her of this problem, Lu Concubine thought that this was a sign that her sister was beginning to be jealous of Yu Shu and Yu Rong.

When he was in Pei County, Su Mingzhe had only six women around him.

Although Yu Shu and Lu Susu were the most favored girls on weekdays, Su Mingzhe treated all the girls equally and no one felt left out.

In addition, the mistress, Lu Xu, was kind and generous, and not jealous, so the family was peaceful and harmonious.

However, since the six women came to Xianyang, the five thousand beauties in the Qin Palace immediately took away eighty to ninety percent of the men's favor.

At this time, Lu Zhi and Cao discovered that Lu Susu and Yu Shu were still being favored every two or three days.

And these "yellow-faced women" can't even wait for a man twice in a month.

The feeling of disappointment in their hearts immediately made them jealous.

A gap gradually developed between the six girls.

On weekdays, Lu Zhi often pulled Lu Sui and Lu Susu to speak ill of the sisters Yu Shu and Yu Rong.

So, when Lu Concubine saw Lu Zhi saying bad things about Yu Shu and her sisters again, she didn't believe it at all.

Seeing that her attempt to sow discord had failed, Lu Zhi could only leave with a sullen expression.

He waited until she returned to the bedroom, and then a hint of inexplicable expectation appeared on his face:
"Sister, there is still a lot of time. The children are still too young now, and the King of Han is still young. It is the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period. However, if we wait another ten years, the princes will grow up, and we will be old and can no longer serve others with our beauty!"

"We'll see when the time comes, whether you're in a hurry or not!"
