After getting up and washing up, Xia Chuyi sat cross-legged on the soft couch and read medical books.
Several alchemists from Yuanchen Peak sent over a few bottles of elixirs early in the morning. They said they were very precious elixirs, but they didn't know the formula. They asked her to do some research and see if she could know which elixirs they were.
, what heat to use.
Judging the recipe and heat just by looking at the finished product, Xia Chuyi saw that the several types of elixirs were all Ye Junqing's proud works, and she almost knew in her heart that this was a test for her by her new master.
So she didn't hesitate and started to do it immediately. However, these prescriptions were created by Ye Junqing and were not recorded in the books. If she wanted to identify them, she would at least have to go and smell all the medicinal materials in person before she could figure out the reason.
Come.
She was thinking about taking advantage of her free time these days to go to the medicine drying place at Yuanchen Peak.
It's just that the second master is probably going to lose his temper again, and it seems that his weapon-making skills are about to go to waste.
However, there were no explanations for the strange words on Tianxingce, and the materials were not available. Her flying magic weapon seemed to be far away, and her enthusiasm for weapon refining naturally waned.
Well, this kind of thing can only be mastered if you don’t practice it in a day. You still have to practice it every day so as not to become wasted.
Moreover, she has to go to Hantan to practice Qigong every night. It seems that her time must be allocated reasonably to ensure that it is enough.
On the other hand, there is someone next to me who seems to be doing nothing all day long, and he is living a life that makes people jealous.
Takiyue was leaning on the other half of the soft couch, resting his head on the small table with one hand, while the other hand was playing with Xia Chuyi's hair in boredom.
He seemed really bored, and a strand of black hair played all kinds of tricks in his hand. He didn't bother Xia Chuyi, and was as gentle as a harmless cat.
Xia Chuyi squinted his eyes, and then quickly shook his head, thinking that this was a cunning old fox. Don't define it wrong, otherwise you will definitely suffer!
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw the lowered eyes suddenly raised, with a faint blue color shining in them, and he looked at her funny: "Why, you find that you can't help but fall in love with me?"
Xia Chu suddenly realized - look, he is still an old fox, and he is also a very narcissistic vixen!
She couldn't help but snorted, curled her lips and said: "Put me down, I think what you said is contrary to what you said. It's you who are deeply infatuated with me. Otherwise, why would you have been following me all the time? You can't drive me away no matter how hard you try."
Hearing this, Takiyue was stunned for a moment.
When Xia Chu saw his expression, she suddenly regretted that she couldn't control what he said.
She wanted to say that she didn't mean to drive him away. Anyway, there was a little space for her to sleep on a bed, and there happened to be a warm quilt... God, what on earth was she thinking?
Just when I felt like I was about to faint, I saw the man in front of me suddenly raised his lips and smiled, with two dimples on his lips: "You're right, little one, I'm really deeply infatuated with you.
Well, what do you think we should do?"
He put his hand under her eyes and slowly traced it along the smooth arc of her face, feeling the reality filling his palms.
Xia Chu suddenly realized that he seemed to be shocked again.
I reached out and touched my heart, it was beating so fast.
Just when she was at a loss, Xia Chuyi's ears twitched and she heard some hasty footsteps coming from outside the house. She quickly turned her head away and looked at the door.
I originally thought that someone would come in immediately, but it took a while before I saw Jin Yuanbao's figure appear at the door.
He brought them breakfast as usual and greeted them both with a smile.
Xia Chu paused for a moment and asked with some confusion: "Yuanbao, what kind of heavy object are you carrying on your body? Why do you walk so heavy?"
She heard his footsteps while he was still outside the hall, and they were many times clearer than usual.
Jin Yuanbao shook his head and felt strange: "I didn't bring anything with me, and I walked as usual. It's just that I walked a little hastily today, so it sounds heavier."
Xia Chuyi couldn't think of any explanation for a moment, so he nodded and said, "That's probably it. By the way, why are you anxious so early in the morning?"
Jin Yuanbao raised his head and glanced at Long Yue, who was wearing a bright red robe and long hair. He lowered his voice with some excitement and said, "Did you know on the first day of junior high school? There is chaos in the south."
Xia Chu subconsciously glanced at Longyue, and thinking of the question he had not answered this morning, he quickly asked: "What trouble happened in the south?"
Jin Yuanbao took out the carefully prepared dishes and placed them on the table one by one: "I just heard that everyone is rumoring that the Wei family has committed the wrath of heaven, so it has attracted all kinds of evil demons.
, wreaking havoc on the world. Right now, the territory of the Wei family is a hell on earth, and the people are all panic-stricken. As soon as the Wei family members appear, they are treated as evil heretics and killed, and many people have died now."
"Hey, why did the Wei family commit the wrath of heaven?" Xia Chu put a crystal bun on the plate for Long Yue and Jin Yuanbao, then picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth.
Jin Yuanbao took a sip of ginkgo and barley porridge and continued: "On the first day of the new year, do you know Concubine Xue?"
Xia Chuyi shook his head: "I know a guard. That old witch is so powerful, even if she has some concubines, she has no sense of existence, right?"
After all, the Queen of the Guard was the mother of a country, so she called her an old witch. Jin Yuanbao suddenly laughed dryly.
"The strange thing is here. When we came from Yancheng to the Imperial Master Academy, wasn't the Imperial Palace drafting girls, and Concubine Xue was one of them. I don't know what means she used, but the emperor saw it
It was as if she was possessed by a demon. It is said that even the concubine Wei, who was deeply in love with her husband, ignored her. The Sixth Palace doted on Concubine Xue, which caused a lot of criticism for a while."
"Criticism? I think it's too late for some people to be happy. The harem is closely connected with the former dynasty. In the past, the emperor only doted on the queen, and the Wei family almost dominated the court. Now someone can compete with it, I guess.
Then the Xue Fei clan will win the support of many people."
When Xia Chuyi said this, the hand holding the spoon trembled, and his eyelids quickly raised: "Yuanbao, what's the name of Concubine Xue?"
"Don't panic, tell me slowly if you have anything to say." Jin Yuanbao looked at the soup spilled by Xia Chuyi and quickly wiped it up with a rag.
Xia Chuyi felt a little uneasy, and some fragments suddenly flashed through her mind. It was the scene when she met the woman when she left the imperial palace.
The Rushuang of the past, the Lu Yingxue of that day, the Xuefei of today...is it her?
Jin Yuanbao sighed and said, "Then Concubine Xue is Lu Haoran's sister. I don't know if this is good news or bad news."
really!
Xia Chuyi was shocked for a moment, then slowly recovered his expression.
After she really determined something, she didn't panic anymore. She said in her heart that no matter whether it was a person, a ghost, or a ghost, as long as he didn't offend her, she wouldn't care. If he tried to offend her, she would slap him twice!
"After talking for a long time, you still haven't mentioned how the Wei family made the world angry? Could it be that the old witch attacked that Concubine Xue and made the people angry?"
Jin Yuanbao looked at Xia Chuyi with little admiration and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: "That's right."
Xia Chuyi reached out and slapped his hand away: "Stop talking nonsense!"
Jin Yuanbao immediately calmed down and said seriously: "Xue Fei is pregnant recently. A crazy old man who claims to be able to spy on the secrets of heaven said that she is pregnant with the real dragon emperor. The emperor also dreamed of Guanyin delivering his son. The scene of the prince's birth was naturally I am extremely happy and dote on Concubine Xue even more."
"Haha, that old witch must not be able to sit still." Xia Chu suddenly couldn't help laughing.
The Empress Wei only gave birth to three princesses and one daughter, and the concubines in the harem only gave birth to a few scattered princesses. Those princes either died at birth, or were assassinated before they were even formed in their mother's womb, and none of them are still alive in the world.
If Concubine Xue really gave birth to a prince, she would be a legitimate crown prince. The situation of the queen can be imagined. The queen who has been holding the throne for many years may have to be given up to her.
With that woman's cruel temper, how could she leave such a scourge in the world? She must have wanted to get rid of it quickly.
Jin Yuanbao nodded and said: "The rearguard sent people to poison Concubine Xue's meal, but a careless palace maid accidentally knocked over the food. Concubine Xue's cat took a greedy bite and was poisoned and died immediately. Concubine Xue He was so frightened that the emperor immediately ordered a thorough investigation to find out who poisoned the place."
"This is so smooth. It feels like it was specially designed by Concubine Xue. That old witch is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If she really wants to poison, she will definitely make it watertight. The emperor has been married to her for so many years. , do you really believe she was the one who ordered people to poison you?"
Xia Chuyi rubbed her chin, feeling that the emperor's heart was the most unreliable thing in the world. She could be gentle to you today, but she could send you to hell tomorrow. At this moment, she actually felt a little unworthy of Empress Wei. .
Jin Yuanbao said: "Actually, the emperor didn't really believe it. It's just that the crazy old man who predicted that Concubine Xue was pregnant with the True Dragon Emperor died. Before he died, he kept shouting that the Wei family was trying to harm the True Dragon Emperor. He was afraid of suffering the consequences alive, so it was better to die. As a result, within two days of his death, something big happened in Liuzhou and Cangzhou where the Wei family is located."
"Huh, let's finally get down to business." Xia Chuyi had almost finished breakfast, and burped while stroking his somewhat full belly, "You said earlier that the Wei family had provoked the wrath of heaven, and evil demons were raging. What does this evil demon mean?"
At this time, Jin Yuanbao glanced in the direction of Takiyue again, and saw that he was eating breakfast with a calm face, and his movements could not stop being elegant. He suddenly closed his eyelids.
Turning around, he said to Xia Chu in a low voice: "Chu Yi, do you believe that there are really ghosts and fairies in this world?"
Xia Chuyi stretched out her index finger and waved at him: "You are wrong, ghosts and goblins cannot be side by side."
"Ah?" Jin Yuanbao was a little confused.
Xia Chuyi explained solemnly: "We can't see or touch ghosts, so we don't know whether they exist or not. Whether you believe them or not, they exist or not. As for fairies, they really exist."
Jin Yuanbao was immediately shocked: "You said so confidently on Chuyi, have you ever seen it?"
"Of course!" Xia Chuyi immediately pursed her lips and smiled, with a proud look on her face.
"What does the goblin look like?"
Xia Chuyi pointed at Long Yue next to him, curled his lips and said, "Isn't there someone sitting here?"
