Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 253: The Prince's Mother Turns Out to Be Such a Person

There really are no gods in this world, so my mother...

Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, the Second Prince asked Xu Jinyu: "What if I take the elixir?"

Emperor Xuan was so angry that he slapped his thigh and said, "This, this, this... Why is this kid so stubborn? He knows that his grandfather died from taking elixirs."

Ge Qianfang supported Emperor Xuan and comforted him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Second Prince has been seeking immortality for so many years, but he just can't accept it for the time being."

Xu Jinyu blinked, and blinked again.

[It's not that the ancients were all stubborn. Could it be that the Second Prince was planning to take elixirs? The previous emperor had been poisoned to death. Was he planning to be the successor? It's not like the Jiajing Emperor was born with a drug-taking body. He took heavy metal every day and still lived to be sixty. Was he planning to die young? ]

[There is also Jiajing Jiajing, every family is clean, look how good this reign title is, not only is the court clean, but even the hands of the common people are clean. ]

Emperor Xuan couldn't help but twitch his lips, feeling deep sympathy. This unknown Emperor Jiajing was even more troublesome than his father. He wondered how his successor would compare to himself.

[This is the consequence of taking elixirs. The mess his grandfather left for his father has not yet been cleaned up.]

[I just can't figure it out. Isn't it good to live a good life? Become an immortal. I still want to become an immortal, but is that possible? ]

Xu Jinyu's question was so deafening that the Second Prince remained silent.

Xu Jinyu smiled and said to the second prince: "This...taking the elixir to become an immortal is a little difficult. It's not just a little difficult, it's very difficult, and there is only one outcome..."

Xu Jinyu began to speak incoherently.

Ok.

The second prince lowered his head with a dark face. He understood. Even Xu Jinyu, who was suspected to be an immortal, said that there was no way to become an immortal. Then maybe there really were no immortals in this world.

[Ah~~ The second prince is so pitiful. Do you want to help him and change his direction? ]

"Your Highness, Second Prince, why do you want to become an immortal?"

The second prince sniffed and said, "I just feel that mortals are too fragile. They are born, grow old, get sick, and die. A small difficulty can kill a person. If I could become an immortal, my life span would be infinite, I wouldn't be afraid of cold or heat, and after becoming an immortal, I could travel a thousand miles alone. How carefree and happy that would be."

"This is easy!" Xu Jinyu slapped his thigh.

"That's easy! Are you..." Crazy? The second prince didn't say the remaining three words.

Seeing the Second Prince's expression, Xu Jinyu knew that he didn't believe it.

【It’s time to start brainwashing. 】

Here it comes, here it comes, Xu Jinyu’s brainwashing package is here again.

Emperor Xuan rubbed his temples with a headache. Xu Jinyu's brainwashing last time had fooled Wuyang into gritting his teeth. He was determined to continue to be an official of the Internal Guard and would not give up no matter how difficult it was for him.

Emperor Xuan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but the situation was different when it came to the Second Prince.

It would be fine if Xu Jinyu could trick the second brother into stopping seeking immortality and asking for advice.

"It's simple. If you are worried about birth, aging, illness and death, then you can study medicine, treat illnesses if you have them, and exercise if you don't. By the way, you can also study how to make your body healthier and strive to live to be 180 years old."

"There are ways to be fearless of cold and heat. In winter, we can turn on the heater. In summer, we can turn on the ice. We can do the basics one by one. There are also more advanced ones like air conditioning, constant temperature system, genetic evolution... Isn't this more practical than seeking immortality?"

"As for the rapid development you mentioned, that's even simpler. With the development of science and technology, not only will it be rapid development, you can even go to the moon to see if there are any fairies."

The Second Prince was confused by the term he had never heard of before, but he tilted his head with interest: "This... seems to work."

I have been struggling for so many years but have achieved nothing. Becoming an immortal is too ethereal. This down-to-earth life seems to be suitable for me.

And going to the moon... this seems to be more attractive than becoming an immortal.

"Then how do we study it?" the second prince asked humbly.

"To learn knowledge, my Women's Technical College has everything." Xu Jinyu said to the bachelors.

The second prince's face darkened: "But I am a man. Does your women's technical college accept men?"

“You can ask the students inside to teach you.”

"Oh, I see. I'll be leaving now. My mother wants me to eat."

The second prince left with excitement on his face.

Then……………

[Poor child, if one day you knew that there was only dirt on the moon, would you burst into tears? ]

"Plop!"

The second prince sat on the ground all of a sudden.

Xu Jinyu, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to fool me like this?

But Xu Jinyu's voice has not stopped.

[I knew before that the Second Prince was obsessed with becoming an immortal, but I never looked into the reason. Is it really like he said, that he felt the pain of birth, aging, sickness and death in the human world?]

Emperor Xuan looked up at the sky: For the honor of his ancestors, he even sacrificed his second son to heaven. He hoped Xu Jinyu would stop!

Don’t mention Emperor Wen’an’s plundering anymore.

[No way! No way! The reason why our Second Prince is obsessed with cultivating immortals is very powerful and very simple. It is simply because he has a good relationship with his mother. His mother is a female Taoist priest, and she was adopted by a Taoist temple and grew up in the temple. She is a devout believer in the Three Pure Ones. She entered the palace to become an imperial concubine because the senior sisters in the Taoist temple tricked her into going through earthly trials and that she would return to heaven one day.]

[That’s why she was willing to come. Otherwise, being a royal concubine wouldn’t be as joyful as practicing Taoism!]

[This emperor's appeal is too small, not even comparable to the Taoist scriptures.] Xu Jinyu complained.

Emperor Xuan's face turned dark, and he began to ask why the second prince's mother had suddenly agreed to enter the palace.

It turns out that he came here to experience the worldly life.

[Although the second prince, who was raised by such a mother, did not believe in the Three Pure Ones, he was brainwashed by his mother and firmly believed that his mother would ascend to heaven one day. The reason why the second prince was so eager to cultivate immortality was that he could not bear to leave his mother, and he wanted to accompany her even if he became an immortal.]

[He tricked his princess into cultivating immortality for the same reason. He couldn't bear to part with his princess. He was such a kind and virtuous second prince. He was such a filial second prince.]

Ge Qianfang wiped his face and looked at Emperor Xuan: "Your Majesty, didn't you notice that something was wrong with Concubine Jing?"

Emperor Xuan said expressionlessly: "I found out, but it was too late. The second son has been taught this way. I have beaten him, scolded him, and punished him, but the second son only said one thing: I don't believe it!"

"But we don't plan to let him inherit the throne, so let him be!"

[So why did the emperor, that old man, pull out a Taoist nun to be his concubine? ]

Xu Jinyu felt inexplicably angry.

The vein on Emperor Xuan's forehead twitched. This bastard had a new word to insult him.

I am fighting for the reputation of my ancestors.

The humiliated and angry Emperor Xuan threw up his sleeves and said, "Go, go, go! Hurry and leave!"

This is why he didn't want Xu Jinyu to enter his harem. If Xu Jinyu met those concubines, all his past would be exposed by her.

[It turns out that Emperor Xuan had also played the game of love at first sight. When he first met the second prince's mother, he was attracted by her extraordinary temperament and came to ask for her hand in marriage regardless of his own status.]

[This Lady Jingfei...]

Li Kening's face was twisted and he wanted to scream to the sky: Don't I just want to make some progress? Why did you let me hear such a secret? Will Your Majesty kill me to silence me?

The expression on Wei An's face was neither smiling nor crying. His Majesty's harem is really rich.

Only Xu Jinyu was immersed in gossip.

Princess Lingyue glanced at everyone's faces and felt even more frightened. What was wrong with these people from Daqian? Their expressions kept changing. Sometimes they were trying not to laugh, sometimes they were trying not to cry, and the next moment they looked ferocious.

Let’s not have this relationship anymore! She was afraid.

Otherwise, come back another day.

Thinking of this, Princess Lingyue stood up and said goodbye.

"Princess Tai'an, it's getting late. I'll take my leave now."

These words immediately brought Xu Jinyu's mind back from being immersed in gossip.

"Sir Xu, I'm leaving as well." Li Kening also quickly stood up and said goodbye to Xu Jinyu.

If he didn't leave now, he was worried that His Majesty would kill him to silence him.
