Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Chapter 299: The one who comes out on top will be awarded the elixir.

Zhang returned to the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion and conveyed Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi's intentions to Pei Xiao.

Pei Xiao did not shirk his responsibility when he heard this. He immediately arranged for someone to go and gradually show the evidence he had carefully prepared to the Jinyiwei.

Pei Xiao's confidant Jin Rong couldn't help but advise:

"Master, please think twice. Fake is fake after all. It can't be perfect. The God of Du'e has great means. If he finds out that we framed her and gives the evidence to His Majesty, then the entire Jingnan Marquis's Mansion will be doomed!"

In the eyes of ordinary people like Jin Rong, the power of the God of Du'e is already invincible.

He also knew that his uncle acted this way for the sake of the Imperial Concubine in the palace, but this move was tantamount to a huge gamble.

If they win the bet, everyone will benefit, but if they lose, the century-old foundation of the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion will be wiped out.

Pei Xiao's stern face was firm and resolute, without any sign of wavering:

"No need to say more, I have made up my mind."

Now the situation is very clear. The Lord Du'e and the Master of Cihang Temple are the same person.

The abbot of Cihang Temple repeatedly targeted the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion, causing him to be demoted from a first-class marquis to a third-class marquis, and even designed to cripple his legs.

He would never easily reconcile and forgive the humiliation she had brought upon him.

Moreover, he also agreed with what the Imperial Concubine said.

If that so-called God was really that powerful, there would be no need for all these conspiracies and tricks. Wouldn't it have been simpler to just break into the Jingnan Marquis's mansion and take his life when he was in Nandu?

The fact that she didn't do that only proves that she doesn't have the ability to do so.

Everything that is created now is nothing but bluff.

Facing the iron fist of imperial power, they were completely vulnerable.

He was waiting for the high and mighty God to be taken prisoner and cut into pieces!

Thus, within two days, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard noticed that the God of Du'e might be involved with the rebellion of the King of Shu.

This is a huge discovery.

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard immediately reported the matter to Emperor Yong'an.

When Emperor Yong'an heard this, the expression on his face was alternately surprised, gloomy, and full of fear.

He is suspicious by nature.

When he heard that a disguised Shu person had had close contact with the Imperial Master's subordinates, the first thing that came to his mind was:

If Lord Du'e was really the plot of the King of Shu, then he had mobilized so many troops to invite him to the court. If he found an opportunity to assassinate him or slander his reputation in front of the people of the world, the consequences would be disastrous!

Moreover, thinking back to his humble attitude in offering sacrifices to the God of Du'e five times, he felt a sense of shame and humiliation.

If this were true, I wonder how the King of Shu would laugh at him behind his back.

His imperial power has become a complete joke!

However, thinking of the God Du'e's ability to come and go without a trace and to save hundreds of thousands of plague patients by simply bestowing divine mist, he became somewhat fearful.

If this was a misunderstanding or conspiracy, causing Lord Du'e to become alienated from him, it would be an unbearable loss for him.

"Investigate them immediately with all your strength! Remember not to alert the enemy!"

Emperor Yongan ordered with a gloomy expression.

*

At this time, the outside world had no idea of ​​the undercurrents in the palace.

There is still a constant stream of people outside the residence of the Grand Master of the Imperial Court.

The Du'e Temple has not yet been completed, and the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion will not accept any gifts presented to the Imperial Preceptor.

Su Changshi was also unmoved.

Therefore, those officials who wanted to make friends with the Imperial Master's Office or come to pay homage to the emperor were unable to give gifts.

Some of these people want to be blessed by the God of Du'e, and pray for good health and peace for their families.

Some of them wanted to worship the imperial master and seek promotion and wealth.

Some others simply followed the trend, fearing that if others gave gifts but they did not, they would offend the imperial teacher.

After hearing that there was a young master in the Imperial Master's Mansion, everyone began to think of giving gifts to this young master.

The news had just spread these few days, and no one wanted to fall behind, so a long line of carriages and horses formed in front of the Imperial Master's Mansion again.

What is even more exciting is that the Imperial Master’s Mansion did not turn everyone away this time.

Anyone who said they were offering a gift to the young master was invited into the mansion.

This makes everyone particularly excited.

Although only a small number of people who gave gifts actually delivered them, and the rest were returned, at least they were all received.

Those whose gifts were returned also tried their best to give them a second time.

As time passed, the number of carriages in front of the Imperial Master's Mansion not only did not decrease, but increased.

Duke Cheng'en and his wife walked out of the Imperial Master's Mansion with brisk steps, unable to suppress the smile on their faces.

Looking at the long queue of people giving gifts, his eyes were filled with a sense of superiority.

Otherwise, how come they say that the Jiang family is a place of great talent and abundance!

Last time, Duke Cheng'en's younger brother, the Minister of Personnel Jiang Yuan, seized the opportunity to show his goodwill to Su Changshi, and within a few days, he was rewarded.

Everyone tried to ask Su Changshi about the preferences of the young master of the Imperial Master's Mansion, but Su Changshi kept his mouth shut tighter than a clam shell.

Only the Jiang family received a detailed answer.

This young master is a martial artist. He was practicing horse riding a few days ago. He often complained that the horses found by the guards of the Imperial Master's Mansion were not majestic enough. They were all short horses and were particularly boring.

After receiving this information, the Jiang family immediately went to their own stable, picked out a white horse that looked beautiful and majestic in appearance but had a very gentle temperament, and gave it to the young master as a gift.

When the young master saw the white horse, he liked it very much and immediately asked Su Changshi to change the tea for them.

They said they wanted to change the tea, but what was brought was just two cups of plain-looking water.

Both of them were a little confused.

Su Changshi looked at them with a smile and said jokingly:

"Don't worry about drinking it. What the young master gives you is definitely not poisonous."

It would be impolite not to drink.

To show their sincerity, the two men picked up their teacups and drank them all.

The moment you take a sip, you can smell the faint scent of grass and trees between your mouth and nose, which is refreshing.

After drinking it, it is just like drinking nectar, which instantly sweeps away all the fatigue in the body and makes the whole body feel unprecedentedly relaxed, as if one has suddenly become several years younger.

The wife of Duke Cheng'en always suffered from headaches when winter came.

I got up early today to give gifts and my head has been aching slightly.

But after drinking the water, the vague headache that had been tormenting her disappeared instantly.

It’s really magical!

The two looked at each other and were very excited.

"May I ask, Mr. Su, could this be the legendary celestial dew?"

They couldn't help but ask Su Changshi.

They had heard about the magical effect of the elixir in the letter from Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Not only can it cure diseases and save lives instantly, it is also said to be able to treat hidden diseases.

Zheng Baizhan, the general of Yangzhou under Duke Dingguo, had been sterilized for many years. When he was injured and in critical condition, he drank two small bottles of fairy dew.

Not only did his injuries heal on the spot, but his fertility also recovered. Not long after, his aunt, who was nearly 40 years old, became pregnant, and gave birth to a healthy, fat boy the following year.

It is said that the effects of the elixir are suitable for both men and women.

After hearing this, Duke Cheng'en and his wife were extremely moved.

The reason why he was so attentive to Su Changshi and other subordinates of the God after finding him was all for the elixir.

You know, the Queen Mother still has no children.

If the Queen takes this magic dew and gives birth to a son, he will be a legitimate son.

In the Wei Dynasty, the legitimate wife was respected. As long as the queen had a son, he would be the crown prince for sure.

By then, what would the eldest prince born to the imperial concubine mean?

Thinking of this, the two of them really regretted drinking so quickly and so completely.

However, Su Changshi smiled when he heard this:

"Lord Cheng'en, you are joking. How can the fairy dew be so easy to obtain? This is just fairy tea, and its effect is not as good as the fairy dew."

The two of them were suddenly both relieved and disappointed.

"I've heard that the elixir bestowed by the God can cure all kinds of diseases and injuries. This is really a joke."

Then ask:

"I wonder how I can obtain the elixir?"

The innocent young master on the side heard this and said with a smile:

"It is naturally extremely difficult for others to ask for the elixir. However, since you gave me such a beautiful horse, I can give you a shortcut!"

Duke Cheng'en and his wife immediately looked at her hopefully:

"Thank you, young master! Please give me some advice!"

The little girl put her hands behind her back and said:

"If you can find me a satisfactory weapon, I will give you my own bottle of nectar."

When Su Changshi sent them out, he specifically revealed something to them.

The bottle of magic dew in the young master's hand was specially given by the temple master, and its effect is better than ordinary magic dew.

Duke Cheng'en and his wife immediately became determined to get the elixir.

The next day, he gave Su Changshi a gift worth ten thousand taels.

Su Changshi symbolically took out a silver note of 1,000 taels from it, and pushed the rest back, saying meaningfully:

"Minister Jiang said something that makes a lot of sense. Officials in the same court should help each other. I personally still hope to be on good terms with the future Crown Prince's in-laws."

Duke Cheng'en and his wife immediately felt as clear as a mirror in their hearts.

Although the God is detached from the world, Su Changshi may not be indifferent.

It seems that the reason why Su Changshi sold them favors was to support the Queen in giving birth to a prince.

In this way, no matter whether she falls out of favor with the God in the future, she will be able to remain invincible in the court.

Su Changshi has always been by the young master's side and knows his preferences best.

Under her guidance, the Jiang family carefully prepared a beautiful whip and a light, sharp, and gorgeous long sword, and they easily won the favor of the young master.

The young master was very trustworthy. After accepting the weapons, she gave them her own bottle of magic dew.

He also explained that because the effect of this magic dew was more powerful, the magic power it could maintain would not last long and would start to lose its effectiveness in ten days, so they should take it as soon as possible.

Duke Cheng'en and his wife took note of it and carried the bottle of magic dew like a treasure all the way back to Duke Cheng'en's mansion. That same day they gave the Queen a message, telling her that they would bring the magic dew to the palace to ask for an audience the next day.
