Once this matter is known to the Queen or Zi Sangyu, it will be a small matter for me. But what if the Fifth Prince is implicated?

No matter how noble a mother is, she always puts her children first, and so does Concubine Hua.

When she thought about the involvement of her fifth prince, she thought it would be best to put her affairs at a standstill.

Therefore, she is no longer concerned about asking Xiao Yuehan to detoxify her in one go.

She glanced at Xiao Yuehan and saw how calm she was. No wonder, it turned out that she was holding her own shortcomings in her hands.

So he said, "Well, I am tired too, you can leave now."

As soon as Xiao Yuehan left her bedroom, she immediately called the Fifth Prince.

The fifth prince yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked as he walked, "Why did you call me here so early in the morning? Is it so urgent?"

There was a hint of complaint in his tone.

When Concubine Hua saw him like this, she was furious.

Said to him: "Don't you see what time it is? Didn't you go to court today?"

She looked up at the sky outside the window and continued, "Oh, the court has already ended."

He thought to himself that the emperor was restrained by his pills and was listless all day long, yet he still knew to get up early to attend court.

But the person in front of me is so young, and I am determined to help him get to the top.

Look at him, does he have any potential to get promoted?

Maybe she was just busying herself in vain. But she was still unwilling to accept it.

She looked around, waved away the palace servants, closed the doors and windows, and whispered to him, "It seems that the alchemy secret has been leaked."

When the fifth prince heard this, he woke up instantly. He looked at his mother's panicked face and said, "How did mother know that this matter was leaked?"

I drank and played with singing girls with a group of followers last night, and returned home at dawn, so I did not attend court today.

Concubine Hua looked at his swollen face and said angrily, "Can you please pay more attention?

If you just idle around like this all day long and don't learn some skills, how are you going to get promoted in the future?

Look at Sixteen, who has been fighting in that cold and bitter region for a long time. No wonder the ministers in the court now support him more than the crown prince.

Look at you now, is there anything you have done that impressed the ministers?"

The fifth prince's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said, "Those old bastards who curry favor with the powerful, when I take the throne, I will kill them first."

After a while, he realized the important thing he was talking about and said, "First, let me tell you, what is this pill?"

"This morning, I called Princess Nan to talk to her about something. During the conversation, she seemed to know about my alchemy."

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Prince immediately relaxed and said, "So it means 'seems'.

This isn't even a confirmed thing, yet you're so scared.

Don't worry, she won't know. Even gods can't find that place."

A hint of coldness appeared in Concubine Hua's eyes. She said, "I don't think she said that just 'as if'. She must have known."

There was a flash of uneasiness in the fifth prince's eyes, but it only lasted for a moment.

He leaned forward and said, "Speak slowly and clearly."

"I asked her to make me a love potion, and she said, 'Don't you know how to make the potion yourself?' For no reason, why did she say I could make the potion?

Don’t you think there’s something wrong with what she said?”

The Fifth Prince was silent. He also knew that there was something wrong with this sentence, but what was the problem?

He brought people to refine the elixir, and it was top secret. The area within a 20-mile radius around the elixir refinement was cordoned off, and no one could enter.

Twenty miles away, there are layers of dense forests blocking the view.

Only the thick smoke could not cover it up. Could it be that the smoke exposed the act?

When Concubine Hua saw her son in deep thought, she realized the seriousness of the problem. She remained silent and waited for her son's decision.

After a while, the fifth prince said, "If the princess knew about this, then the source of the information must be the Southern King. If the god knew about this, then it would be troublesome..."

"You don't know yet, but Princess Nan has been very close to the Queen recently. If these two knew about this, it would be a huge problem."

"There is such a thing?" The fifth prince looked at his mother and asked

Concubine Hua did not dare to tell her son about the poison in her body. The antidote she took once a month was given by the Queen at the request of Princess Nan.

She was afraid that the hot-blooded young man would do something extreme if he knew about this.

Young people are easily impulsive. You must not let your son get confused by your own affairs.

She didn't tell him.

Therefore, the Fifth Prince was a little surprised when he heard that Princess Nan was close to the Queen.

The fifth prince thought about it, made up his mind and said, "I will do it right away."

Concubine Hua asked a little disappointedly: "Will we not make elixirs in the future?"

She didn't want the supply of the elixir to run out, as she still needed it to get closer to the emperor.

Without this pill, she knew that it would be strange for the emperor to favor her as she was too old and ugly.

I can’t even feed those teenage concubines, how can it be my turn?

The fifth prince said with a gloomy face, "Refine! Why not? I just want to move to a new place.

Now our place has probably been exposed. If we don't act quickly, someone might come to our door, and then it will be too late."

Concubine Hua comforted her son and said:

“Not allowing alchemy, wasn’t that something that happened during the time of the previous emperor?

We have been the new emperor for such a long time now, and the things your father hates most are the rules and regulations from the previous emperor's time.

He now also knew that these pills came from unknown sources.

But he never asked me about the origin of the pill, he just accepted it. Maybe it will be okay."

The fifth prince narrowed his eyes and said, "But those ministers in the court will not let me go.

They were united in dealing with their father.

If it were just them, they would have killed me. Besides, there's also Zi Sang Yu, who is not someone you can easily deal with.

So I have to move fast.

I really don’t know why my father still keeps those ministers who are against him.

It’s not like we have no chance to find capable people in our Southern Han Kingdom.

Besides, why does Father think that Sang Yu is the only one who can lead troops to fight? That’s why he is so fearless. "

“Your father is used to those ministers.

Besides, if you make a move, all the officials will collectively go on strike against you.

Besides, they are still loyal to your father, so your father doesn’t have to worry too much.”

"But I am very annoyed with them, very annoyed... they are waiting for me..."

His eyes were full of sinisterness.

Looking at her son's receding back, Concubine Hua's heart gradually calmed down.

In this deep palace, there were too many things and days that made her uneasy, so she got used to this kind of life.
