Hearing that Tang Tianyu would not leave for the time being, Jiang Yijue immediately felt relieved. "As long as you are here, I will feel at ease."

Otherwise, who in Zixian City could withstand such a crazy grandmaster?

If something goes wrong, even Jiang Yijue might become Ren Tiancheng's meal.

Well, in my entire life, this is the first time I feel like I’ve been treated as a meal.

He was both scared and relieved. He was scared because Ren Tiancheng's evil claws did not reach him, and relieved that Tang Tianyu discovered it in time and came in person.

At the same time, Donghuang City.

Wen Liuli has been staying in the yard obediently all this time. Apart from occasionally telling stories to the old man, the rest of the time she is either teaching Tang Zhiqian homework or preparing food. Her life is so wonderful.

As for Tang Qingxue, she had not been very comfortable during this period. Because of Tang Zongluan's presence, she usually didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of accidentally making the old man angry.

Tang Tianling and Tang Tianxing had not been to the Prince Wu's Mansion recently. Tang Tianxing was unwilling to do those things of social interaction, nor did he want to go to the Prince Wu's Mansion and suffer Wen Liuli's cold stare, where he had to pay for meals even when he had a meal.

Tang Tianling knew that the old man was in Prince Wu's Mansion and didn't want to meet him.

"Sister-in-law Wang, Sister-in-law Wang!"

Just when Wen Liuli was telling Tang Zongluan the story of Chenxiang saving his mother, a clear voice suddenly came from outside Liuli Garden.

Hearing the voice, everyone was stunned, and then glanced outside the door, only to see a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old standing at the door in a daze, looking like a fool.

"Grandpa Emperor?"

After a long time, Tang Linger came back to her senses and quickly bowed to Tang Zongluan.

What's going on? Why is Grandpa Huang in Prince Wu's mansion? Is he here to visit as well?

But this shouldn't be the case. The Emperor's grandfather is usually in the Shengqian Palace. He doesn't even want to visit the Qianning Palace where my father is, let alone the Prince Wu's Palace.

"You're so old, why are you still making so much noise?"

Rolling his eyes at her, Tang Zongluan said unhappily.

Is this girl always like this? She yells and screams, not like a princess at all.

"Um... Grandson didn't know Grandpa Huang was here."

"You can't yell like that even when I'm not here!"

"Grandpa Huang taught me that."

Hearing this, Tang Linger's mouth twitched.

If I had known that the Emperor was here, I would not have come today. I don’t even want to see my father, let alone the old man.

I feel restrained and uncomfortable doing anything in front of them.

In comparison, Mrs. Wang is better and more comfortable.

"Hehe, why is Ling'er here today?"

Seeing the expressions of the old and the young, Wen Liuli smiled bitterly and then asked.

She knew that Tang Linger would never come to visit her unless there was something important, and judging from the girl's voice just now, there must be something good.

"Hey, I brought some goodies for Mrs. Wang again."

"nice one?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up and they couldn't help but turn their gazes to Tang Linger.

This girl has a lot of money but doesn't know where to spend it. She always comes up with something unexpected, like the walnuts, pomegranates and glass that she bought with twenty taels of silver last time.

If she hadn't spent money lavishly, how would Wen Liuli have been able to find those treasures?

Especially those pairs of walnuts, the pair given to Tang Zongluan. Tang Zongluan has been polishing them every day recently, and you can already vaguely see some luster on them.

"Well, I bought it at the market today. It looks like a fruit, but it looks a bit strange. I don't know what it is, so I brought it to Wang's wife to have a look."

"Mrs. Wang is well-informed, so she should know what it is."

As she spoke, Tang Linger waved behind her, and then two maids brought out a basket and placed it in front of Wen Liuli and the others.

When the cloth covering the basket was lifted, what came into everyone's view were green fruits with what looked like flowers on top but actually had no flowers.

When Wen Liuli saw this thing, his heart skipped a beat, his pupils suddenly dilated, and his eyes were full of fear.

"This thing is really rare, why haven't I seen it before?"

"Well, I have never seen it before, little girl A Li, do you know what this is?"

"Ari girl?"

Seeing that Wen Liuli didn't speak for a long time, Tang Zongluan couldn't help but frowned and looked up.

Wen Liuli's expression was horrified at this moment, as if he had seen something terrifying, and his eyes were fixed on the basket of fruits.

"Ling'er, where did you buy this?"

After coming to his senses, Wen Liuli grabbed Tang Linger and said hurriedly.

"Ouch, it hurts!"

“I bought it at the market.”

Tang Linger felt pain immediately after being grabbed by Wen Liuli. She quickly broke free and explained.

Just ask if you want to, why did you arrest me? It hurts so much.

"Now! Immediately! Send someone to arrest the person who sold this thing. Don't let him get away."

"what?"

"Ah what? Go now!"

Wen Liuli was really anxious at this moment. She never thought that she would find this thing in the world of immortality.

This thing was once the nightmare of the entire China on Blue Star, and everyone hated it to the core.

Seeing Wen Liuli's anxious expression, Tang Linger also became serious. She frowned and gave an order to the maid beside her.

"Yunyin, you go too! We must catch this man alive."

Wen Liuli was still worried after seeing this, and shouted towards the outside of the yard.

Yun Yin, who was outside the yard, had already known what was happening here, and immediately turned around and rushed out of the palace.

He didn't know why Wen Liuli was so anxious, but he thought that the fruit must not be a good thing, because he had never seen Wen Liuli so anxious since the first time he met her.

"Ali girl, what on earth is this?"

Seeing Wen Liuli so serious, Tang Zonglun couldn't help but frown. It was just a few fruits. Was there any need to make such a fuss?

"This thing is called Poppy Fruit, it's DP!"

"DP?"

Hearing this, everyone was confused. Why is this a new term? Is this thing poisonous?

But if it is poisonous, it is poisonous. There are so many poisonous things on the market. Aren’t potatoes poisonous if they sprout?

"Well, how should I put it. This thing is actually a kind of medicinal material. It can cure many diseases."

"Isn't this a good thing? Why are we arresting people?"

The more they listened, the more confused they became. Since it was a medicinal herb, there was no need to get so excited.

"The juice of the poppy fruit, after being cut and dried, becomes opium, and this opium can kill an entire country!"

"Once this opium is cooked or fermented, it can be smoked. Anyone who smokes opium will experience hallucinations and be extremely happy."

"Opium is extremely harmful to the human body. Excessive use can lead to death. And it is addictive. Anyone who gets addicted will desperately seek opium to smoke until they die."

"Addicted?"

Hearing Wen Liuli's words, everyone couldn't help but frown. How come after listening to you for so long, except for the one sentence that it is very harmful to the human body, all the other words you said were good things?

Isn’t this a good thing?

"Well, this addiction is different from our usual addiction to certain things. It is an addiction that is almost crazy."

"I estimate that once someone gets addicted to opium, even a master-level expert will have no way out."

"what!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Is this thing so scary?

"Grandpa Emperor, this matter is really serious. We must find out the source of the opium poppy and destroy it immediately. Otherwise, if someone gets infected with this stuff, the consequences will be disastrous."

Not knowing how to explain, Wen Liuli simply turned her gaze to Tang Zongluan.

As a Chinese, she hates opium to the core. Even though the Changsheng Realm is not her home, she still doesn't want to see anyone lose their fortunes and their country destroyed because of opium.

Tang Zongluan frowned when he heard this, and didn't know what to do for a moment. In his heart, he believed in Wen Liuli, but the affairs of the court were not his responsibility now, and he had never really seen the horror of opium.

But seeing Wen Liuli's reaction so violent, he couldn't help but feel shaken. Could this thing really destroy a country?

It's just a few small fruits, isn't it making a fuss about nothing?

"this......"

"Ling'er, Xue'er, please leave first. I have something to say to Princess Wu."

After a long time, Tang Zongluan took a deep breath and said to Tang Qingxue and Tang Linger beside him.

Both of them frowned when they heard this, then bowed and left the Liuli Garden.

They knew that this matter might be related to Wen Liuli's life experience, or even a bigger secret.

Although they were very curious, since even the emperor said so, they had no choice but to retreat.

After the two left, Tang Zongluan looked at Wen Liuli seriously.

"Girl, tell me what's going on."

If someone else said this, Tang Zongluan might not pay any attention to it, but since it was Wen Liuli who said it, he had to be serious.

Because he knew that Wen Liuli was not only a descendant of the Tang clan, but also a person from another world.

In that world, there are many things that Tang Zongluan has never seen, and this poppy is very likely one of them.

"Grandpa Emperor, you are a wise man, so I will tell you the truth."

"This thing is banned in China and has harmed hundreds of millions of people."

"You can think of it as a poison that can control people's minds. Once infected, people will feel extremely happy. Once they are no longer infected, they will go crazy and even go bankrupt by stealing and robbing. In short, people will be extremely confused."

"The most important thing is that there is no antidote for this drug. It can only be cured by human willpower. If you can quit, everything will be fine. If you can't, your family will be destroyed."

"Is it really as scary as you say?"

After hearing Wen Liuli's explanation, Tang Zongluan couldn't help but frown. Is there such a poison in the world?

"Worse than that!"

As for opium, Wen Liuli felt that no matter how he described it, he could not truly depict its horror. Only by seeing it with his own eyes and feeling it personally could he truly understand it.
