Empress Wu told me that she wasn't actually called Wu Cao...

"In 219 BC, that year, Xu Fu went to the court of King Qin, saying that Penglai and other immortal islands in the Classic of Mountains and Seas could seek immortal medicine...

"Since then, I have followed Xu Fu all the way to search," Empress Wu raised her head and muttered as if she was reminiscing, "I am actually Xu Fu's favorite concubine, but our purpose in obtaining the elixir of immortality is not for the King of Qin, but for Xu Fu himself to ask for immortality."

Empress Wu told me that the elixir was brought back from an unknown island for the first time, and that they had not been offered to the King of Qin. Because Xu Fu found that the liquid he brought back could instantly turn people's gray hair black, and make the weak person become strong again.

Later, Xu Fu found that the leopard-tailed and tiger-toothed human figure he saw on the island before was the legendary Queen Mother of the West! So Xu Fu secretly buried the immortal wine under the cellar of his family, and strengthened his determination to find the elixir of immortality.

"So, he petitioned the King of Qin to prepare for the second eastward crossing..."Empress Wu said this, paused and continued: "The sea is so sinister, there are spirits, and big fish, and the three thousand boys and girls that I asked for before have also become the tools of Xu Fu's sacrifice," Empress Wu glanced at me, her eyes were full of tears, and she said: "Pity those innocent young lives, just because of Xu Fu's greed and died, and I, too, saw Xu Fu's ferocity, and it was from that time that I made up my mind to leave Xu Fu." ”

"Just when I was about to escape from Xu Fu, Xu Fu really secretly found a strange fruit named Chitose on a wild island!" Empress Wu said with a strange light in her eyes, and said: "The kind of deep valley hinterland where the plant grows, the locals are commonly known as "Kiln", this thing has bloomed for a hundred years and bears fruit for a hundred years, the general size of walnuts, the juice is thick and sweet, there is a local coincidence, the person who eats this fruit actually lived a thousand years old, and it is rumored that just by smelling this fruit, it can increase the life span by three years, zero three months. ”

Empress Wu picked up the wine on the table, took a sip and continued: "Xu Fu was very happy that day! And I took the opportunity to get drunk with wine, and took it from his personal pocket, the thing named Chitose. I was afraid that this thing would be a long night after all, so I ate it! I promised the captain that all the treasures on the ship belonged to him, and I only asked me to return to the mainland, and the money was touching! The captain united his crew and threw Xu Fu into the sea overnight. When Empress Wu said this, she said with a mocking look: "Xu Fu probably never dreamed of it, the treasure he gathered was the weapon that killed him..."

The sky gradually darkened, and Empress Wu told me a lot of historical anecdotes one after another, I listened to it but became sleepy, and saw that the cage of incense on the table seemed to be bright and dark and was about to burn out, and there was a trance in my ears to say goodbye to Empress Wu: "Sir, it's time for you to leave, and you should see you again..."
