After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

"Master Zhao, just come forward."

Lu Xuan nodded slightly at him and then returned home.

After Bai Youyou learned about the progress of this matter, he frowned and asked, "Sixth Brother, who reported the matter of the Immortal Powder to the Emperor?"

"I don't know about that for now. I'll have someone check it out later." Lu Xuan comforted him, "You don't need to worry about this matter. Lord Zhao has always been fair. This matter of the Immortal Powder involves a serious matter. He will definitely handle it with caution."

Lu Chen's dark eyes were tinged with anger. "The old emperor is making a lot of noise but doing little this time. Even if he finds out the truth, he will definitely pin the blame on Marquis Yong'an and remove the crown prince."

Bai Youyou hummed, "But the prince only has half a month's supply of the magic powder. If he doesn't get new magic powder within half a month, those who are controlled by the prince will definitely cause trouble for him. We should just wait and see."

They were waiting to see the show, and the prince was also worried about this matter.

Now that the person has fallen into the hands of the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to snatch him back now.

"Zhu Liu, have those people learned the method that Old Ghost Liu uses to refine the Immortal Powder?"

Zhu Liu's eyes were red, he shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "The method of refining the Immortal Powder is too complicated. Except for Liu Laogui, no one else can do it."

The prince's jaw was clenched, his expression was gloomy, "After so long, is it possible that there is no such thing at all?"

"Old Liu is not willing to teach at all. Those people only know the basics and are unable to refine it yet."

Zhu Liu pursed his lips and looked at him cautiously.

Old Liu was afraid that if he taught his apprentice, the prince would kill him as the master, so he always talked about the basics and never revealed the real core. Therefore, those who were assigned to learn could not learn even if they wanted to.

The prince was so angry that he crushed the wine glass in his hand, "What a bunch of rubbish!"

With his brothers dying one after another, Zhu Liu hated the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. He clenched his fists and said angrily, "Your Highness, why don't I lead my men to ambush the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion at night and kill them all!"

"If it were so easy to get rid of them, do you think I would have endured until today? Prince Rong went all out and couldn't do anything to them!"

The prince took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, "Send someone to keep an eye on Zhao Qingming and see when Lu Xuan will hand the person over to him."

They can't succeed if the person is in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, but if he is in the Ministry of Justice, he has his own way!

He sent people to keep an eye on Lord Zhao, and on the other side, the Third Prince also sent people to keep an eye on Zhao Qingming.

He sat on the couch, raised his hand, picked up a black piece and placed it on the chessboard, playing chess with himself.

The Third Prince asked without even looking up, "Can that Xu Sheng refine the Immortal Powder?"

Speaking of Xu Sheng, Zhao Zhong sincerely admired him, "Your Highness, don't tell me, this man is really a genius."

He only found an ancient book on refining the magic powder and gave it to Xu Sheng. He tinkered with it for a few months and actually made some progress.

No wonder he can easily crack other people's secret recipes, this skill is simply unprecedented and unparalleled!

"Has it been refined?"

The third prince raised his head with a look of surprise.

He originally just wanted to ask Xu Sheng to give it a try without having any high hopes, but he didn't expect there would be a pleasant surprise.

"Well, I asked someone to try it yesterday, and it won't take long to succeed." Zhao Zhong said with a smile: "If you have the Immortal Powder, Your Highness can recruit all of the prince's men."

The third prince raised his lips, a trace of calculation flashed in his eyes, "Very good, don't make it public for now, and then make a move when the crown prince can't take out the magic powder."

"If those people can't find the Immortal Powder, they will definitely cause trouble for the prince. If you take action then, those people will be grateful to you."

Zhao Zhong laughed, but he felt a little resentful when he remembered that the prince was only under house arrest by the emperor.

"The Emperor clearly knew that the Immortal Powder incident was caused by the Crown Prince, yet he only confined him to his room!"

"It's okay, the matter of the Immortal Powder was just a fuse."

The third prince picked up a white piece with his slender fingers and placed it on the chessboard, then laughed sarcastically.

As long as the prince does not rebel, he will not touch the prince.

What his good father hated most was others coveting his throne, so what he wanted to do was to force the prince to rebel!

After two days of snow, the snow finally stopped, and the red plum blossoms in the yard bloomed in the snow.

When Xu Lingyun is at home, Xu Mengling comes over every day.

Seeing that she brought food with her, Mrs. Lu scolded her, "Why do you bring food with you in this cold winter? There is everything in the small kitchen. I will cook whatever your father wants to eat."

She didn't even think about the separation between men and women, and she didn't know how much people would criticize her if her actions were to be spread.

"I'm afraid it's gone cold after being here for so long. Give it to me and I'll have someone heat it up."

Mrs. Lu took the food box from her hand in a familiar manner and asked Cuizhu to carry it to the small kitchen, while she took the freshly boiled medicine to the room.

Xu Mengling was stunned for a moment, looked at her busy back, and suddenly smiled.

The maidservant beside her smiled and joked, "Miss, I'm afraid we are going to have a wedding in our family."

"shut up!"

Xu Mengling looked at her sternly, "Don't mention this to anyone else, lest it damage the reputation of Aunt Lu and Dad!"

After spending the past few days with Lu, she has come to understand her casual nature.

If the Lu family has no other intentions, it would be bad for the Lu family's reputation if this got out.

Besides, my father has always been picky in his taste. Unless he likes someone, no matter how good the other person is, it will be useless if he doesn't like them.

Alas, what girl in this world would worry about her father’s marriage? She is probably the only one in history.

The maid was startled and quickly bowed her head to admit her mistake, "My servant said something wrong, please punish me, young lady."

"Forget it this time. Be careful with your words and actions in the future."

This maidservant had grown up with her since childhood, and knowing that Xu Mengling did not mean it, she just scolded her.

In the room, Mrs. Lu sat on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl and feeding Xu Lingyun medicine one spoonful at a time.

"This medicine is very bitter. I made some preserved fruits yesterday. You can help to reduce the taste."

Xu Lingyun raised his lips and smiled, "I'm sorry to have troubled you these past few days."

"What's the trouble? I'm free."

Lu took the bowl, picked up a piece of almond preserves she had made and handed it to him. Lu stood up and left, but Xu Lingyun's eyes were still on her.

When Xu Mengling came in and saw this ambiguous scene, the smile in her eyes became even more intense.

"father."

Facing his daughter's teasing eyes, Xu Lingyun coughed calmly and asked, "Is everything okay at home?"

"You used to go to the government office and didn't come back for a few days, and I didn't see you worry about the things at home."

Xu Mengling tucked the quilt for him and looked at him with an unconcealable smile in her eyes.

"In the past, I was too busy with official duties to take care of the family. Now that I, your father, am free, I will take care of the family affairs from now on."

Xu Lingyun looked a little unnatural. Just when he was about to call his daughter back, Bai Youyou walked in quickly.
