The empress is wild and cool, and I'll help her secure her throne

The prison of the Nine-Gate Governor's Mansion.

In this silent atmosphere, Duan Zhenggang was the first to react. He then protected Ye Qianxuan behind him and said in a serious voice:

"The Ninth Princess is here, I'm afraid we can't leave!"

He raised the knife slightly, and pointed the blade at the Ninth Princess An Luowei!

Mimiyan spat, kicked the prison door shut again, gave up the idea of ​​killing the prisoner, and walked over with the embroidered spring knife in hand.

Although his face turned pale due to excessive blood loss, his aura reached its peak!

The ninth princess, An Luowei, looked at the Jinyiwei in astonishment.

Because of An Luoyu, she has been in contact with the Jinyiwei since she was a child.

Every Jinyiwei is a man of firm determination, serious expression, calmness and reliability. I have never seen such a crazy expression on the face of a Jinyiwei!

"Hahahaha, I'm Mi Cantian. I'm a carefree man in life and a rebellious ghost in death. I'm not going to be a Jinyiwei anymore!"

"Okay! Okay! Let's go crazy! Let's go crazy together! Breaking into prisons and killing royals is such a blast!"

"Fight!"

Mimiyan also knew that now that the matter had been discovered, the only way to escape completely was to kill the Ninth Princess!

It’s a pity that I suffered the loss in vain!

Ye Qianxuan was also stunned, and sighed in his heart, and slowly took out the small Zongheng:

"Alright! Today, the three of us will kill the royal family and escape from prison!"

"If Heaven had not given birth to the three of us brothers, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty would have been in darkness forever!"

"Dry!"

The three of them were on the verge of a fight, each of them ready to die, as if they were ready to fight to the death with the Ninth Princess An Luowei.

It's the death penalty anyway!

What are you afraid of!

Don’t stop doing it!

An Luowei's expression froze for a moment, and then she stared blankly at the three ferocious men, and said weakly:

"Um... I just want to protect that lowly Ye Qianxuan who once used the purple talisman. I hope the three of you won't..."

"I admire the impartiality of the Nine Gates Commander and the Imperial Guards in enforcing the law, but if they want to kill me for this, that's too much!"

"Also, these two people are impartial in enforcing the law. They want to kill me and stop me. It's understandable..."

An Luowei paused, pointed at Ye Qianxuan with her bare hand, her big eyes full of confusion: "Why are you, a prisoner, joining in the fun? Besides, I'm here to save you!"

At that moment, all three of them were dumbfounded.

Is this Ninth Princess here to protect Ye Qianxuan? !

Before the three of them could come to their senses, Kong Zhongzhi also hurried over and shouted:

"The sword will save you! The sword will save you!"

"The Minister of Revenue, Cheng Zhushou, and the Minister of Rites, Kong Zhongzhi, jointly bailed out Ye Qianxuan, allowing him to redeem himself for his crimes and earn meritorious service in order to raise funds for the Qianqiu Festival..."

"Huh? The Ninth Princess is here too!"

"Brother Duan, why are you wearing plain clothes?"

"How did Mi Tongzhi get injured?"

"Friend Ye, why are you holding the corpse sewing needle?"

At that moment, all three of them were petrified.

I, Duan Zhenggang, could not bear it any longer, so I abandoned my official position and went to break out of the prison...

I and Mi Cantian went crazy together, hurting ourselves, exposing ourselves and killing the royal family...

If Heaven had not given birth to my three brothers, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty would have been like a long night...

How heroic the three of them were just now, and how embarrassed they are now!

Looking at this unexpected ending, the three of them felt that it would be better to wait another quarter of an hour.

Ye Qianxuan should sit for a while longer, Duan Zhenggang and Mimiyan should drink more wine...

Even if we had waited another quarter of an hour, things wouldn't have ended up in such a socially disastrous situation.

Now it’s really embarrassing and opens the door to embarrassment - it’s extremely embarrassing!

Who would have thought that Ye Qianxuan could survive!

If they had known this earlier, they would have made these stupid programs!

I really hope that Princess Nine forgets everything that happened just now!

"Ahem... well... the weather is quite hot, so I'll take off my official uniform to feel lighter."

Duan Zhenggang coughed and then shouted, "Hey there! Bring me my official uniform!"

It’s hot?!

Kong Zhongzhi looked at the cloudy sky with falling snow in surprise. It was the 49th solar term now!

"Just now, when I was dancing with the sword, I accidentally got injured. I'm really not very good at it anymore."

Mimiyan coughed twice and looked at Duan Zhenggang: "Where is the medical officer of the Nine Gates Governor's Mansion?"

"Oh! This way! Mr. Mi, please!"

"Admiral Duan, please!"

The two men were indeed veterans in the officialdom. They immediately thought of a plan to escape and invited each other to leave!

Ye Qianxuan was speechless for a while.

It’s a pity that I was praising them so much just now!

They all ran away at the critical moment!

Well, Ye Qianxuan couldn't think of any way to deal with it, so he just rolled his eyes and fainted, pretending to be dead...

……

That night.

At a banquet at the Nine Gates Governor's Mansion.

Ye Qianxuan finally learned the whole story from Kong Zhongzhi.

Got it!

It turns out that this scheming empress used herself as bait to lure another sub-sage into serving as an official in the court!

"So, that purple talisman was just what you picked up while sewing up corpses at the foot of the Sword Qi Great Wall?"

The ninth princess, An Luowei, stuffed pastries into her mouth, her expression full of disappointment!

"Yes..." Ye Qianxuan couldn't lie about this matter because that's what he told Empress An Luoyu.

But he really didn't want to lose the Nine Princess's connection, so he had an idea and took out the photo stone from his storage ring:

"But I want to give this to the Ninth Princess as a thank you for saving my life!"

"Huh?!" The Ninth Princess blinked her beautiful eyes, her eyes sparkling with brilliance: "This is a Taoist magic weapon, the Photographic Stone!"

"You...you are truly a Taoist master!"

"I know a thing or two." Ye Qianxuan said with a pretentious tone, "However, I am still a little behind in drawing talismans and making tools. However, I do have some experience in alchemy!"

Ye Qianxuan is a good young man who has received nine years of compulsory education. He knows that ancient alchemy is the prototype of modern chemistry. It should not be a problem for him to fool the Ninth Princess!

But the Ninth Princess misunderstood!

Even if the craftsmanship is not very good, one can still make a top-grade magical tool like the Photo Stone!

How amazing it would be if someone knew a little bit about alchemy!

This corpse tailor must be keeping a low profile!

Maybe he was the one who drew the purple talisman, but in order to avoid attracting attention, he deliberately said that he picked it up!

As the saying goes, straight trees are cut down first, and sweet wells are dried up first!

Being low-key is in line with the Taoist philosophy!

This made An Luowei very excited, and she immediately took out a piece of osmanthus cake and handed it to Ye Qianxuan:

"Here's yours! Can you be my master?"

hiss!

At that moment, Duan Zhenggang, Mimiyan, and Kong Zhongzhi all looked over in horror!

The dignified Ninth Princess actually wants to take a lowly corpse-sewlager as her apprentice?!

This is too unbelievable!

Ye Qianxuan looked at the osmanthus cake and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead - damn, this time he was showing off!

Ye Qianxuan coughed, thought for a moment, and replied, "I only have a basic understanding of alchemy, and as a lowly person, I am not worthy of being the Ninth Princess's master!"

"However, if Princess Nine has any doubts, please raise them and let me hear them."

"I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything I know!"

The key to pretending to be cool is - pretend when you can, and don't force yourself to pretend when you can't!

Ye Qianxuan didn't want to pretend, nor did he want to lose the good connection of the Ninth Princess, so he asked tentatively.

"My Huangbai technique has always been poor. I can't turn ordinary metals into medicinal gold or medicinal silver!"

"Do you have any good ideas?"

When the Ninth Princess saw that Ye Qianxuan didn't take her pastries, she stuffed them into her mouth unwillingly and said a little depressedly.

Ye Qianxuan nodded.

What a pity, he is really good at pretending!

In ancient times, yellow was used to represent gold and white was used to represent silver, collectively referred to as "yellow and white".

It was probably these Taoists who attempted to use drugs to transform base metals such as copper, lead, and tin into golden or silvery fake gold and silver, also known as "medicinal gold" or "medicinal silver", which are simply various alloys!

The technique of preparing "Huangbai" is called "Huangbaishu".

"I know of a kind of alchemy silver that is silver-white in color and turns golden ash after burning. I wonder if Princess Nine is interested in it." Ye Qianxuan said softly.

The Ninth Princess' eyes widened instantly: "The color is silvery white, and the ash after burning is golden?!"

It occupies both silver and gold!

Among all the herbs, this is the best medicinal silver!

"I do! Tell me now!"

After hesitating for a moment, An Luowei took out a piece of rose pastry and handed it to Ye Qianxuan, as if she wanted to exchange it with Ye Qianxuan!

This is her favorite cake!

Ye Qianxuan immediately talked about the production process of tinfoil.

Tin foil, an alloy of aluminum and tin, is attached to paper and is called tinfoil paper. It looks silvery white and burns golden yellow. It is often used in modern times for ancestral rites...

But it should be enough to deceive the Ninth Princess!

"First, make two specific constant-temperature furnaces. Cut a rectangular opening in the bottom. Control the temperature to around 300 degrees. Then put the tin and aluminum in..."

Ye Qianxuan used language that was as easy to understand as possible to describe the production process of tinfoil to the Ninth Princess, which left the Ninth Princess stunned!

"Amazing! So amazing! Can we refine top-grade medicinal silver like this? It's unbelievable! I must try it when I get back!"

The Ninth Princess replied joyfully, and then her bright eyes moved, examining Ye Qianxuan from head to toe: "You are obviously a Taoist priest, why did you become a lowly corpse seamer?"

You know how to refine top-grade medicinal silver, and you still dare to say you're not a Taoist priest?!

"The Daoism of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is in decline, and ordinary people have to support their families!"

Ye Qianxuan looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and made an unfathomable and helpless expression, which made him look even more like a down-and-out Taoist master!

"Let me become your disciple! No one will dare to look down on our Taoist sect anymore!" The innocent and simple Ninth Princess spoke in a pious tone with a serious expression.

"Let's talk about it later! Sewing corpses for ordinary people is also a form of practice!"

Ye Qianxuan only regretted that he didn’t have a cigarette right now, otherwise the sight of him lowering his head and taking a deep breath would have charmed this innocent girl to death!

"I understand! The truth is simple!"

"You are indeed a Taoist master with profound cultivation! Please accept Luo Wei's greetings!"

An Luowei's eyes were clear and bright, and she bowed respectfully to Ye Qianxuan!

"Ninth Princess, you are so kind!" Ye Qianxuan said in a pretentious tone, "If there is anything you don't understand in the future, you can always ask me. I will definitely tell you everything I know!"

Ye Qianxuan took this opportunity to make a long-term move on the Ninth Princess!

You never know when it might come in handy in the future!

"Okay! Anyway, in my heart, you are my master!"

"Master! I'll be leaving now! I need to hurry back to refine that top-grade medicinal silver!"

An Luowei left with light steps, her skirt flying!

Ye Qianxuan nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Duan Zhenggang, Mimiyan and Kong Zhongzhi.

All three of them had the same expression.

Contempt, disdain, and disgrace!

The way they looked at Ye Qianxuan was as if they were looking at a weird uncle who had deceived a child...
