Ying Zheng was still smiling on the surface, but inwardly, he was cursing.
As expected of his son, he had inherited the advantages of intelligence.
"Come, come, eat while it's hot." Just like that, the family of three had a harmonious dinner.
"Lan 'er, come. For the sake of your understanding of the big picture, Imperial Father will drink this cup with you.”Ying Zheng raised his wine cup and laughed merrily.
"Imperial Father, drinking this is boring. It's as light as water.”Ying Lan waved her hand. What he said was the truth. The wine of this era tasted even thinner than the rice wine of the later generations.
Following that, Ying Lan took out two large bottles of drinks as if she was performing magic. One bottle was glistening yellow while the other was transparent.
"Father, this is called beer. It's made from wheat. It's delicious and not intoxicating. This is amazing. It's a 52-alcohol white wine. I don't recommend you to drink it. After all, you're already old and your body can't take it.”Ying Lan smiled cheekily and introduced.
However, the more he said that, the more unconvinced Ying Zheng became. He poured a full cup of wine, and the rich aroma of wine spread throughout the entire room.
"Father, let's drink first!" Ying Zheng could not wait to drink it all up.
" Don't..." Ying Lan didn't even have time to stop him. Ying Zheng choked and coughed violently.
Consort Qi quickly patted his back to calm him down.
"Imperial Father, you have to slowly taste this.”Ying Lan curled her lips.
Although it was very uncomfortable to choke, the fragrance of the wine that followed made Ying Zheng click his tongue in wonder. It was simply like nectar.
"It's indeed good wine. Lan 'er, you know quite a lot of things!”
"It's alright. Imperial Father is old. Drink less white wine and try some beer.”
After three rounds of wine, the father and son both drank quite a bit. Ying Lan was already dizzy, but he did not forget the purpose of this trip.
"Hey." Ying Zheng suddenly sighed.
"What is it, Your Majesty?" Consort Qi asked with concern.
" This happy feeling is really good. Unfortunately…"
"What's a pity?"
"When I was young, I fought on the battlefield and suffered from many illnesses. Although I've been recuperating in recent years, it's also to make up for the lost sheep. I'm afraid I don't have many years left. However, I'm very pleased to see Lan 'er's success.”Ying Zheng's face was full of sadness, and he was in a very low mood.
It seemed like Lord Zheng wasn't drunk. He had a lot of drama to play around with. He just wanted the Longevity Extending Pill. Why was it so complicated?
"Lan 'er, didn't the Bloody Butcher obtain a Longevity Extending Pill when he ranked second on the Empire's combat power ranking last time? You see…" Ying Zheng hesitated.
"Good son, go and plead for the Bloody Butcher. Filial piety is the most important virtue.”Consort Qi said earnestly.
Ying Zheng gave him a look of approval. The Qi Clan was really up to something, but he was not sure if the Longevity Extending Pill was still around.
With Bloody Hand Butcher's cultivation and strength, he did not lack Longevity Extending Pills. It should be known that when a warrior broke through the Heaven Realm and entered the Saint Realm, he could increase his lifespan by a hundred years. Of course, no one would complain about living too long.
Although Ying Zheng was too embarrassed to take away someone else's beloved, he still asked shamelessly for his own sake.
"Give that pill to Xiao Hei.”Ying Lan looked embarrassed.
"Xiao Hei? Who is it!" Ying Zheng was stunned.
"Lan 'er, is Blackie the dog you raised?!”Lady Qi had a strange expression.
"That's right, Xiao Hei is on the verge of death and can only rely on pills to extend his life. I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep first.”Ying Lan stretched lazily and returned to her room.
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched, and he was so angry that he almost died on the spot. Was Ying Lan joking? He wondered how much manpower and resources he had spent to find this kind of elixir.
The pill that he had been dreaming of was fed to a dog. Was this something a human should do? If the Bloody Butcher was reluctant to give it up, then so be it. But, it was ruined by Ying Lan. Ying Zheng's defense had been broken, and his mentality had collapsed.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down.”Consort Qi quickly comforted him. She could understand Ying Zheng's feelings.
"Bastard, is this called being muddle-headed? Even if he had a pig's head, he couldn't do this. Could it be that I'm inferior to his dog?”Ying Zheng pushed Consort Qi away, looking angry, as if he wanted to kill someone.
But soon, a chill enveloped him, and Ying Zheng shivered subconsciously. He suddenly remembered that the Blood-handed Butcher was still lurking nearby, and if he could not control his emotions, he could be beheaded at any time!
"Beloved consort, are you alright? I lost my composure just now.”Ying Zheng had sobered up quite a bit and was supporting Lady Qi.
Even Ying Zheng was a little suspicious whether Ying Lan was his biological son or not. Could it be that Ying Lan was the Blood-handed Butcher's child? He fed the Longevity Extending Pill to the dog, and yet, he was still so obedient and protective of Ying Lan. He had no doubt that if the mother and son were to fight, he would not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
But on second thought, he knew Ying Lan's thoughts, so it shouldn't be…
Even if Ying Zheng was dissatisfied, he could only vent it on Concubine Qi.
The next day.
Although there was an early court session today, no one called Ying Lan.
When he woke up, it was already three poles under the sun.
"Shh, shh." Ying Lan whistled habitually, but she didn't see Little Black running over like usual.
Ying Lan looked around but couldn't find Little Black, so she asked the servant.
All of them stammered, not daring to make a sound.
"I know. It was Imperial Father who took Xiao Hei away, right?”Ying Lan wasn't stupid. Only the First Emperor could make a servant so afraid!
Wangyi Palace.
Ying Zheng was admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him, with a steaming bowl of meat soup in front of him.
The Longevity Extending Pill had been completely digested by Xiao Hei. He could only use this method to stew Xiao Hei and eat it. Even if it only had one-tenth of the effect, it was enough.
Ying Zheng began to eat heartily, and was having a great time.
"Father, is it delicious?" Ying Lan walked over with large strides and asked curiously.
Ying Zheng was startled. He turned sideways to block the meat soup." Cough cough, why is Lan 'er here?"”
Ying Lan sniffed and her face darkened." This is Little Black, right?”
Is Grandpa Zheng crazy? If he can't get the Longevity Extending Pill, he's going to start with Xiao Hei.
Was there a need for a ten-year lifespan extension pill? If he knew that I had a fifty-year-old superior-grade Longevity Extending Pill, wouldn't he call me father?
Ying Zheng's heart was surging with excitement. A fifty-year-old top-grade Longevity Extending Pill?! For hundreds of years, he had never heard of the existence of a superior-grade Longevity Extending Pill.
However, it seemed like he had never missed Ying Lan's inner thoughts. He couldn't help but shout out.
"Father!"
？？？
？？？
Ying Lan was stunned. He suspected that he had misheard. What was Ying Zheng doing? Which father would call his son 'father'? Wasn't this putting the cart before the horse?
The guard at the side was also scared silly. The most respected person actually called Ying Lan father. If this were to spread out, the entire country would be shocked and the world would laugh at it.
"Ahem, Lan 'er, it's indeed my father's fault for using Blackie to make soup. Please don't tell Blood-handed Butcher.”Only then did Ying Zheng realize that he had lost his composure, and quickly came up with a plan to smooth things over.
If Ying Lan knew this secret of his and stopped letting her imagination run wild, wouldn't she suffer a great loss?
Ying Lan was suddenly enlightened. He vaguely remembered that Ying Zheng was very rude to his mother last night, almost using the Great Xia Dragonfinch.
His beloved Little Black had been eaten, and he was obviously afraid that he would fly into a rage out of humiliation. In a moment of impatience, he changed his address to 'father'…
'I'm dying of laughter. Lord Zheng is so afraid of me that he's scared to the bone. But that's true. It can decide his life and death at any moment. No one can withstand it. Sigh, I really didn't expect that the dignified Emperor of the Ancient Era would actually do such a thing.'
