After Wu Dao fell to the ground, he saluted Ye Junfei and said, "The Blood Jade Grass has been sent to Mr. Yan."
Ye Junfei asked: "How long does it take to prepare the medicine?"
Wu Dao replied: "Mr. Yan said before that it is very troublesome to prepare the blood jade grass. It will take about a month anyway."
Ye Junfei frowned: "So long? Yan Jiushu is becoming more and more useless."
Wu Dao didn't dare to speak, fearing that if he said something wrong, Yan Jiushu would be unlucky and his head would be twisted off by Ye Junfei first.
Ye Junfei took out a few letters from his arms and handed them to Wu Dao: "Give these letters to that old immortal."
Those letters came from Zhou Chenyang's study.
Lin Xiuyan suggested going to the city lord's mansion to steal the blood jade grass. He thought it might be a trap for her to deceive him.
Therefore, he had notified his guards before and asked them to make a series of arrangements.
He had never seen Lin Xiuyan tell the truth, and he didn't think there would be blood jade grass in the city lord's mansion, but there were some things he wanted there.
When he entered Zhou Chenyang's study today and saw that there was actually blood jade grass in the secret compartment of the drawer under the desk, he was actually a little surprised:
She didn't lie to him!
Ye Junfei felt a little tenderer in his heart at that time. After getting what he wanted, he took the blood jade grass away and gave it to Wu Dao, asking him to use it to make medicine.
When he saw Lin Xiuyan really trying his best to hold Zhou Chenyang down in front of the study window, his mood was a little complicated.
So, he burned Zhou Chenyang's study on fire to cover up the traces of the theft of things inside, which also fulfilled his moral obligation to her.
He originally thought that after he got what he wanted, there would be no need to pester her anymore, and he would say goodbye to her and leave.
As a result, he saw her holding Xu Qianting, and he thought of the scene when he held her last night.
He could still clearly remember the feeling of her body against his, the feeling was so captivating.
When he thought that other men could feel the tenderness of her body, he wanted to kill someone. How could he tell the truth to Lin Xiuyan under such circumstances?
So he changed his plans and she wanted to get rid of him?
There are no doors and no windows!
Wu Dao took it and said, "Yes, I will send someone to give it to the prince right now."
He knew that the relationship between father and son, Ye Junfei and King Pingnan, was average. Ye Junfei never refused to call King Pingnan his father, calling him "Old Immortal".
He turned around to leave, but Ye Junfei called him back again.
He asked with some confusion: "What other instructions does the Crown Prince have?"
Ye Junfei asked a completely unrelated question: "Do you have anyone you like?"
Wu Dao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said: "Belonging to a person who is the prince in life and a ghost in death, he will never dare to have a second heart and like someone else!"
Ye Junfei's peach blossom eyes were filled with gloomy color, and he kicked Wu Dao: "Get out!"
Only then did Wu Dao realize that the prince was in a bad mood today. He didn't dare to say anything more, so he just rolled away: "Stop being angry, I'm leaving!"
Ye Junfei: "..."
This second-hand guy!
After Wu Dao left, he was still a little confused:
Today the prince got the blood jade grass, the information he wanted, and even burned down Zhou Chenyang's study.
Logically speaking, the Crown Prince should be in a good mood, but why does he still look so unhappy?
He thought in his mind: "The Crown Prince asked me if I have anyone I like, is he testing my loyalty to him?"
He thinks 80% yes.
He thought about his answer just now and felt that it was a good answer, so he gave himself full marks.
At this time, the fire at the City Lord's Mansion was finally extinguished.
Although the fire was extinguished, the study was already completely burned.
Zhou Chenyang had a dark face and kicked open the crumbling door, his face looking very ugly.
He looked inside and saw that all the cabinets were on fire and all the letters inside were burned.
Even the darkroom where he stored top-secret letters was burned down.
His confidant and master Liu Tianwen helped him look inside and said: "The inside is basically completely destroyed."
There was still some paper inside that was not completely burned, but more things were burned, and they had no idea what was stolen.
Zhou Chenyang asked coldly: "Who do you think did this?"
Liu Tianwen replied: "This is the city lord's palace. No one dares to come and act wild."
"After your Excellency arrived in Yucheng, he caused a lot of trouble to Prince Pingnan's Palace, so my subordinates feel that this matter is closely related to Prince Pingnan's Palace."
Zhou Chenyang and Liu Tianwen had similar thoughts. He said coldly: "The emperor has decided to withdraw the army. He transferred me to Chongqing just to prepare for the subsequent withdrawal."
"To put it bluntly, the current Pingnan Prince's Mansion is just a grasshopper after autumn, and it won't last long."
Liu Tianwen nodded and said: "You are a great man, as long as you help the imperial court destroy Prince Pingnan's Mansion, you will be able to rise to great heights and become a general or a prime minister. It's a matter of course."
Zhou Chenyang liked hearing this, and he said quietly: "Although this is the general trend, if King Pingnan resists to death, he will still have some headaches after all."
Liu Tianwen smiled: "Your Excellency has cooperated with the imperial court to lay a dragnet for Pingnan Palace. We will only close the net when the time is right."
"If they think that by stealing a few documents and burning down your study, everything will be fine. They are simply naive!"
Zhou Chenyang's eyes moved slightly and he said slowly: "They chose this time to burn down my study. They must have noticed it."
"You have to be more careful in your actions in the future, so as not to let them catch you in the wrong direction."
"The identity of King Pingnan is there. Before the court takes action, we have to find a way to protect ourselves."
To a certain extent, the City Lord's Palace and Pingnan Palace in Chongqing are mutually constrained.
One is a court official who follows the emperor's will.
One is a vassal king conferred by Taizu, and he has been operating in Liefeng Prefecture for many years. He has more than ten cities under his jurisdiction and has a deep foundation.
Before the imperial troops formally attacked, Zhou Chenyang dared to make small moves, but he did not dare to blatantly provoke Prince Pingnan's palace.
This time his study was burned down, which made him feel even more urgent.
He commanded in a deep voice: "Notify us, and immediately send people around to arrest people. Arrest all the spies we thought might be Prince Pingnan's Mansion."
Liu Tianwen immediately understood what he meant and went out to carry out his order.
Zhou Chenyang felt that this was not enough, he had to find a way to break the foundation of Prince Pingnan's palace.
He had previously planned to wait until the Lin Mansion took a stake in Xinzhitang, and then use the Lin Mansion's business routes and money to create a big problem for Prince Pingnan's Mansion.
But this matter was ruined by Lin Xiuyan, who cursed a fool in his heart!
He thought about it. As the richest man in Gale State, the Lin Mansion had excellent trade routes and resources. He must get it!
He didn't want to marry Lin Xiuyan. In the past, he wanted to use Jiang Xinrou's hand to control the Lin Mansion. Now he had doubts about Jiang Xinrou and decided to change his approach.
He decided to give Lin Xiuyan some benefits and asked her to obediently give him all the money of the Lin family.
So, he sent someone to send Lin Xiuyan a message and asked her to go out to play.
