Chapter 659

"When will the poison begin to take effect in the emperor's body?"
"Its effect is not like those of common poisons. But I guess it won't be long before he finds out that there is something wrong with
the pills. When he runs out of Longevity Pills, he will probably think that he would rather die than live without them," Harper
carefully said. "He had slowly poisoned his own son to harm his health and get rid of him. And now, the son has also poisoned
him and turned him into a drug addict in order to let it consume his body and spirit bit by bit. You could say it's retributive justice."
In the Tranquil Hall, the emperor had been feeling quite unwell. "Andy, bring me the pill."
"Yes, Your Majesty." In a hurry, Andy fetched a Longevity Pill for the emperor. Only when the emperor took it without delay did he
finally feel at ease. He felt so relieved and was no longer on edge.
"How many pills have I taken today?" the emperor slowly asked.
"Your Majesty, you have already taken three pills today," Andy quickly answered. Seeing that there were only a few Longevity
Pills left inside the box, he was a little worried. These days, the emperor wouldn't feel well unless he took a few pills every day.
However, he was now down to the last few pills. If the new Longevity Pills couldn't be replenished in time, the emperor would
surely fly into a fit of rage.
Nodding his head, the emperor then asked, "Is there any news from Harper?"
"News?" Andy echoed, looking at the emperor in confusion. Suddenly, a thought cropped up in his mind. Then, he replied, "Well,

"That's not what I'm asking about!" the emperor sneered, feeling so irritated. He was actually asking Andy if Harper was able to
reproduce the Longevity Pills successfully.
Rubbing the back of his head, Andy helplessly said, "Forgive me, Your Majesty, but would you please tell me what is it that you're
asking about?"

Of course, he would never dare to say that out loud. Matthew was such a cruel man, while Harper was a very domineering woman. It would be difficult to keep the emperor safe from the couple if they wanted to do something evil. Even if Harper could somehow develop the Longevity Pill successfully, the imperial physicians probably wouldn't allow the emperor

happened in his birthday banquet, the emperor wasn't sure about Matthew's opinion.
"Tell the Imperial Academy of Medicine to develop the Longevity Pill at once!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As soon as they received the order from the emperor, the imperial physicians in the Imperial Academy of Medicine were left with
no other choice but to put aside whatever it was that they were doing and focus on the development of the Longevity Pill instead.
As Scott's disciple, Hodge actually knew most of the medicinal materials used to make the Longevity Pill. But when he listed
down the medicinal materials that they would need to make it, all of the other imperial physicians helplessly looked at each other
in dismay. And the reason for that was because the saussurea involucrata from the Snow Mountain, the thousand-year-old

had been used to treat Francis. The saussurea involucrata, on the other hand, had been taken away by Matthew to play up to Harper. "Hodge, is there anything else
