The prince wanted to say something else, but the emperor waved his hand impatiently and said, "There is no rush for Old Seventeen's matter. Go find some magical flowers for me first."

"Since taking the elixir, I feel much better."

The emperor now looks energetic, and his complexion is seven times more radiant than before.

"I will ask someone to look for him right away."

The prince responded respectfully.

The magic flower is actually the main ingredient in refining the magic powder. It was specially treated when it was handed over to the emperor. Doctor Pang would definitely be able to see it.

Unfortunately, the emperor was wary of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and as a result, he was also on guard against the palace's imperial physician Pang.

After leaving the imperial study, the prince returned to his own Eastern Palace.

Zhu Er had been waiting outside the study room. When he saw him, he immediately bowed and saluted, "Your Highness."

The prince entered the house, and Zhu Er followed him, speaking in a somewhat anxious tone, "Your Highness, we don't have much of the magic powder we previously stockpiled. Are we going to start work at Yichunyuan?"

"How many days can it last?"

The prince asked with a frown while sitting at the desk.

"It can only last five days at most."

The prince pursed his lips with a gloomy expression, "The Zhenguo Mansion has surrounded Yichun Courtyard tightly, and any slight movement may be discovered by them!"

Zhu Er also frowned, "But if there is no Shenxian powder, those people are out of control..."

The prince had a sinister look on his face, gritting his teeth, "I don't believe that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion can hold on forever! Send someone to find an opportunity for me to deliver the raw materials to Yichun Courtyard. Hold on for a while, and wait until my father is completely addicted to the elixir. Then everything will be easy."

Zhu Er hesitated and said, "But Your Highness, if the Zhenguo Mansion catches us, then everything will be over."

"There is no way out now. You can only take a risk. Go and do it yourself, and don't let anyone else know!"

The prince couldn't do it either.

The tools for refining the magic powder are all in the underground secret room of Yichunyuan, and it is too late to rebuild the tools in a short time.

On the other side, inside the Zhenguo Mansion, Doctor Pang sat in the lobby, looking at the old lady at the top with a serious expression: "The emperor has been taking the elixir he made recently, and he seems to be in high spirits, but I think there is something fishy about it."

There is no magic pill in the world that can bring people back to life. He suspected that the pill the emperor took contained some magic powder!

The old lady sneered, "How can a ruler of a country be so foolish!"

Doctor Pang continued, "If it really contains the ingredients of the immortal powder, long-term use will definitely damage the dragon's body. By then, the court will be controlled by the prince, and there may be chaos."

The old lady's eyes were stern, "We must not let the prince's conspiracy succeed. Do you have any way to stop it?"

Doctor Pang pondered for a moment, "I need to sneak into the palace to check the formula of the elixir, but the emperor is wary of me. Doctor Liu has been in charge of taking Ping'an's pulse recently. I want to see the elixir, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to get it."

The old lady nodded and said, "Just get ready. I'll arrange for someone to assist you."

On the prince's side, Zhu Er deliberately sent someone to sneak to Yichunyuan under the cover of night.

The secret sentries at the Zhenguo Mansion noticed the movement and were about to stop it, but suddenly a group of men in black rushed out and entangled them.

Seeing this, Zhu Er hurriedly led his men to speed up and rush to Yichunyuan. However, just as they were about to reach their destination, another group of people appeared in front of them and blocked their way.

The leader was actually Lu Xuan from the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion.

"Master Zhu, how are you?"

Zhu Er smiled and said, "My Lord, it's the middle of the night and we just want to have some fun. Why are you blocking our way?"

Lu Xuan looked at the three large wooden boxes they were carrying, and his smile was brighter than Zhu Er's. "Some important things were lost in the mansion, and I am leading people to search. Lord Zhu, do you mind if I check it out?"

"These are our personal belongings. I'm afraid we can't ask Mr. Lu Liu to check them."

Zhu Er held a long sword, folded his arms, and smiled.

"The lost item is extremely important to me. If Lord Zhu refuses to cooperate, then I will be rude to you, Lu Liu. I will have to search the place by force."

Zhu Er was shocked, but his expression remained calm. "Master Lu Liu, are you going to rob people of their property? Although we hold low positions, we are also appointed officials of the imperial court!"

Lu Xuan snorted coldly, "Master Zhu, why do you have to bluff? You are stealthily carrying the box, who knows if it contains the lost items of my Zhenguo Mansion?"

As he said this, he waved his hand, signaling his men to come forward and snatch it.

Zhu Er led his men to fight back, "Lu Liu, even though your Zhenguo Mansion has tremendous power, we are the people of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

Lu Liu ignored him. After repelling his opponent with his sword, he rushed to the box and kicked the mahogany box away.

"boom!"

The chrysanthemums in the box, still covered with moisture, rolled out of the wooden box. Lu Liu picked up all the chrysanthemums from the box with his sword.

The box was completely empty, there was nothing in it.

"Master Lu Liu, I already said that they are just some personal belongings."

Zhu Er seemed helpless. He walked to the other three wooden boxes and opened them one by one. "I picked these myself and prepared to present them to the beautiful lady. Since Mr. Lu Liu doesn't believe it, you can take a look."

Lu Xuan was not confused by his words and checked every box carefully.

There are indeed only chrysanthemums inside.

"Mr. Lu, besides the boxes, do you want to search anywhere else?"

Zhu Er opened his hands and made a gesture for a body search.

Lu Xuan smiled brightly, and he and his brother patted Zhu Er's arm in a friendly manner, "Brother Zhu, you are joking. I just had no choice. I hope Brother Zhu will not blame me."

The situation was tense before, but now it's Brother Zhu. Zhu Er thinks he is a smiling tiger and feels inferior to the person in front of him.

He dusted off the place where Lu Xuan had patted him, and glanced at him unhappily, "Since Sixth Master Lu doesn't want to search, we'll leave first."

"I'll take Brother Zhu home."

"No need!"

Finally, he managed to hide it from Lu Liu, and Zhu Er breathed a sigh of relief as he turned around.

The things were not with him, but were sent to the secret room of Yichunyuan from the tunnel of a house not far away.

Lu Xuan looked at their receding backs, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Yichunyuan belongs to the prince, and Zhu Er is the prince's man, so there is no way he would come here to seek pleasure in prostitutes in a high-profile manner.

He was carrying several large boxes to attract his attention, as if he was hiding something.

After thinking about it carefully, Lu Liu was suddenly shocked.

Make a sound in the east and attack in the west!

"Go search the area and see if there's anything suspicious!"

"Yes!"

The people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion were well-trained and quickly dispersed in all directions after receiving the order.

Zhu Er finished his work and returned to the East Palace. "Your Highness, I have fulfilled my mission and temporarily deceived Lu Xuan."

The prince nodded with satisfaction, "Well done, but you must be more careful next time."

"My subordinates know."

Zhu Er agreed, but he was a little worried in his heart.

This time, we can divert attention from the people in the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion by making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, but what about next time?
