A light tap interrupted the long silence. After writing the desk, Ye Tinglan's knuckles on his chin loosened slightly.
"How can I trust you?"
Before tonight, he had never heard that this Xuanmen actually had two forces, positive and negative.
Although this woman's words are sincere, they cannot be fully believed.
Feng Yinwan's pretty face sank slightly, "I don't have to risk my own son. What do you think, Your Highness?"
"The villain has betrayed the sect and used poisonous techniques to harm people. It is my responsibility to eradicate him. If the prince is willing to cooperate, our Xuanmen is willing to help. Of course, if he is not willing, we will also kill him with all our strength."
The room was silent for a moment, and just when Feng Yinwan's patience was exhausted, a slightly cold voice came up again.
"Tomorrow at Hai hour, I will go to the Treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to see your sincerity."
Feng Yinwan frowned suspiciously, but after a moment she realized what he was talking about and nodded immediately.
"Yes, but right now, the prince needs to hand over Baimu Lingxi to me first."
Ye Tinglan's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard this, "Have you found all the detoxifying products?"
The candle in the study went out at the fifth watch.
The long candle burned out, but the movement in the room did not stop.
Until the sky completely lights up, a wisp of red incense floats slowly, and then it is like an explosion of spring light, out of control.
As the fragrance surged, the woman's beautiful eyes were tightly closed, and three thousand black hairs floated behind her head, and she didn't know when they had dispersed.
Ye Tinglan raised her eyes and glanced, her long eyelashes drooping again.
Halfway through the hour, the fragrance of elixirs gathered together and converged towards one point.
After the incense is gone, the cauldron falls. When the cauldron falls, the elixir is completed.
The man on the other side, who was still closing his eyes and concentrating behind the desk, opened his dark eyes in response.
What came into view was a pale face. The woman was exercising to regulate her breathing, and her physical strength was obviously almost exhausted.
When she noticed that he looked up, he pursed his red lips and stood up.
"It's done."
…
Outside Hengwu Courtyard.
Just after the meal time, Feng Jinchen came back from the dining hall, but he saw Yun Shu's figure just before he reached the courtyard.
Seeing him, the other party waved and motioned for him to come over.
Feng Jinchen's brows tightened a bit and he looked up at Qi Xuan beside him.
"Uncle Xiaoqi, I'll go over there for a moment."
The place where Yun Shu stood was behind the flowers. If it hadn't been for his words, Qi Xuan wouldn't have discovered it yet.
Thinking of the displeasure on his prince's face when he asked the question yesterday, he frowned, but he could only nod.
"Go ahead."
Feng Jinchen nodded and walked over.
As soon as he got closer, he saw the food box in the maid's hand and was immediately startled.
"Auntie, this..."
Are they really sending pastries again?
Yun Shu curled her lips and raised her hand to gently brush the rice grains off his cheeks.
"I wanted to bring it to you before breakfast, but you look like you're already full."
Feng Jinchen nodded, leaned back and pulled away from her a little.
"I'm already full, auntie. Uncle Xiaoqi is still watching. I'll go back first."
In fact, the breakfast here is not to his liking, so he just eats half full every morning.
It was a lie to say he didn't want to eat cakes, but Qi Xuan was still watching from a distance, so he didn't dare to commit a crime against the wind.
When Yun Shu heard this, she ignored him and ordered the maid to open the lid of the food box.
"It doesn't matter. Since you're here, just take a bite. I'll keep an eye on it for you so he can't find it."
Feng Jinchen wanted to say, ah, this is not good.
But as soon as the aroma of the pastry wafted over, his stomach felt like a switch was pressed, and he made two "gurgling" sounds.
Yun Shu glanced at him, and there was a hint of understanding in her eyes that she had known for a long time.
"Here."
If he goes any further, the pastry is about to reach his mouth!
By some strange coincidence, Feng Jinchen opened his mouth and took a quick bite.
He ate a piece of pastry in secret, and it was a very guilty conscience.
Yun Shu leaned down and gently wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, but she suddenly spoke.
"Actually, you don't have to be so secretive."
"That won't work. I can't embarrass Uncle Xiao Qi."
Just kidding, he is simply afraid that the bad guy Lao Wang will intensify his revenge!
There was some powdery smell on the handkerchief, which mixed with the smell of Chinese medicine on Yun Shu's body, and it really didn't smell very good.
He frowned slightly and wanted to retreat, but Yun Shu's hand on his shoulder did not let go.
"I have an idea."
When she said this, Feng Jinchen also paused.
"What method?"
"If you move to live in my courtyard, won't no one find out? And Yan'er will be waiting in the courtyard. Whenever you want to eat, she can do it immediately."
Feng Jinchen opened his round eyes and spoke without thinking.
"How can that be done!"
He has his own yard, which is fine, so why would he move it to another place?
Moreover, my uncle and grandpa said that apart from his mother, he could only live in the same courtyard with his wife.
Yun Shu's face froze, and she froze for a few moments before she said again, "Why not?"
This little brat is harder to fool than expected.
She was secretly thinking about what to say, but unexpectedly when those round eyes looked at her, they said something shocking.
"Are you my wife?"
"presumptuous!"
Almost as soon as the words came out of his mouth, the maid scolded him.
"The princess is engaged to the prince, and the prince accepts you as his adopted son. The princess is your adoptive mother, and she is like a mother. How can you talk such nonsense!"
Unexpectedly, Feng Jinchen's eyes opened even wider when he heard this.
"Mother?! That's even worse!"
"I have a mother myself, why should I find another mother? I don't want one!"
What he lacks is obviously a father!
The maid became even more angry when she heard this.
"You little kid, you really don't know how to appreciate someone!"
"If you have a mother, why are you still living in the house unclaimed? If the princess agrees to be your mother, she is already condescending, and you can't help but dislike her here!"
If it wasn't for the sake of winning King Mo's heart, why would the princess bother with all this effort!
She tightened the lid of the food box angrily and was about to curse a few more words, but before she could open her mouth, a cold voice came from the other side.
"Who said my son doesn't have a mother?!"
This voice has a certain natural gentleness, but when it speaks, it contains a strong coldness.
The maid raised her eyes in surprise, and met a pair of cold eyes full of coldness.
After a moment of silence, Feng Jinchen's face lit up with joy, and he immediately rushed forward.
"Mom, you are finally back! If you don't come back, I will be snatched away as someone else's son, wuwuwu..."
too difficult.
He looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally his mother came back!
Although the little guy is not big, he is not light when held in his arms.
Feng Yinwan touched his little face, then suppressed her fatigue and hugged him.
"Who are you?!"
The maid had never seen Feng Yinwan and didn't know her identity, but Yun Shu had seen her, and her figure had already solidified at this moment.
This woman... was the one who kidnapped her earlier!
She is actually the mother of this dumpling! And she entered the palace so wantonly!
Who is she?!
There was no need to ask at all, the maid had already asked the question for her.
"Bold! How dare you be so arrogant in front of the princess? You simply owe..."
"Snapped--"
There was an extremely loud sound, which directly knocked the maid's face a few points.
The woman raised her eyes and looked over, her voice so cold that it made people shudder.
"Do you have a role to speak here?"
Such a harsh slap, but she stood still and didn't move at all.
What she just used... was actually internal power!
The maid didn't understand this and thought she had seen a ghost.
Covering his face, he pretended to be frightened.
"You...what magic did you do just now?!"
"witchcraft?"
Feng Yinwan sneered coldly, "Chenchen, do you still have the red pills that mother gave you?"
"have!"
The little dumpling in his arms took one out of his pocket without thinking.
Feng Yinwan took a look and nodded with satisfaction.
"Throw one to her to see what real witchcraft is."
Feng Jinchen's little hands were already itchy after not using any elixirs for a long time.
Hearing this, he immediately responded, "Okay!"
The moment he finished speaking, the elixir in his hand was thrown out.
As soon as it landed at the maid's feet, it turned into a crimson cloud.
There was no time to react. In the next moment, the scene in front of the maid's eyes had undergone earth-shaking changes.
