Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 572

"Your Highness, does a Longevity Pill actually exist?" asked the guard. He had begun to doubt whether the legends were true. Many people had been shut outside, but there were also many people who were granted entrance and then got what they came for. This fact suggested that the physician was actually not a mean man, and that the only reason why he refused to give them the Longevity Pill was that it did not exist anywhere in the world.

"Felix said there is such a pill; therefore, the physician must have it. Moreover, I'm sure you have smelled this remarkable scent over the past few days," Walden said, taking a deep breath. A faint medicinal fragrance floated out of the old physician's mansion.

"That's the herbal fragrance," the guard exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it is, and it smells thicker than before," Walden said in excitement. "The Longevity Pill will be ready soon!"

"Can the Longevity Pill really prolong one's life as the rumor says?" the guard asked again with curiosity, as if he found it hard to believe.

"Have you ever heard of the Reviving Pill?" Walden countered.

"Yes, I've heard of it. It's a secret pill and His Majesty has it," the guard replied unhesitatingly.

"The Reviving Pill was created by this physician's old master. I'm sure you have witnessed its effect. When Aunt Harper was dying, she took the Reviving Pill and she recovered. Rumor has it that this physician has created a kind of pill which is even better than the Reviving Pill, and that pill is none other than the Longevity Pill," Walden replied confidently. "The question is, how can we get the Longevity Pill?"

"That physician is short-tempered. The last time we saw him, he didn't even spare us a polite glance. Should we visit him courteously again?" the guard asked again.

"Of course we should. I'm not one to give up so quickly. Let's pay him a few more visits," Walden said, scoffing at the idea of despairing so soon. "He will give me the Longevity Pill without a doubt."

The crowd waiting outside the physician's house suddenly smelled a strong medicinal aroma from inside, and they heard a happy voice inside the house. Upon hearing that, Walden threw aside the empty wine bottle and said, "He just made it!"

"Your Highness!"

"Let's go and request the pill!" Walden said with a smile. "You two follow me in, and the rest of you wait outside for my signal."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Walden knocked on the door again, and the physician's apprentice opened the door. Upon seeing him, he frowned and said, "What? It's you again! My master said he doesn't have what you want. Please leave."
