Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

On the second day of the morning court session, Lu Xunhuan took Meng Tian and a few others into the palace.

He went to Jingming Lake to take a look first.

After draining all night, only one-fifth of the water in a large lake was drained.

At this rate, it will take at least three days to drain the water.

After a quick look, he asked Meng Tian and Zeng Duo to continue to be responsible for drainage.

Yun Zhongzi also stayed by the lake and began to carve runes under the towers.

Then he went to the morning court.

When he arrived, everyone was there, even the prince was there, just waiting for him.

He stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness."

The prince doesn't look in a very good mood today.

He asked Lu Xunhuan, "Have you found all the items to suppress evil?"

Lu Xunhuan replied, "I only found three."

The prince said, "After we leave the court, I will accompany you to look for it."

When Lu Xunhuan heard this, he knew that the prince was wary.

Yesterday, Concubine De accompanied him and entered the national treasury. Outsiders have no way of knowing what the two of them talked about inside.

The Crown Prince naturally didn't know whether the two of them discussed anything after they went in, but he was very cautious and didn't want Lu Xunhuan to have any contact with Concubine De again.

Lu Xunhuan didn’t care. As long as he could enter the national treasury, it didn’t matter who went in with him.

Even if Concubine De couldn't find the dragon bone, he could.

Since he couldn't find the dragon bones anyway, he wouldn't collect all the so-called evil-suppressing items.

If one day doesn’t work, try two days. If two days doesn’t work, then try three days.

But in this case, it would not be so easy for Concubine De to have a face-to-face private conversation with Lu Xunhuan again.

I don't know if she can be patient.

What if she can't hold back? How will things develop?

Lu Xun Huan bowed and said, "Okay, thank you, Your Highness."

The prince looked at the other ministers and said, "What do you have to say? Come and report it."

An hour later, the morning court ended.

The prince stood up and said, "Lu Suifeng, let's go."

After leaving the Golden Throne Hall, the Crown Prince, surrounded by everyone, took Lu Xunhuan and headed towards the national treasury.

Lu Xunhuan turned around and looked. The prince didn't invite everyone, but there were at least fifty or sixty civil and military officials who followed him.

Are you all here to watch the fun?

After a cup of tea, everyone arrived at the gate of the National Treasure House.

The Crown Prince said to the general on duty, "Open the door. I will take the Prime Minister in to look for something."

The general saluted quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

He called to the soldiers, "Open the door, open the door."

The prince turned around, looked at the huge group of officials, and shouted, "What are you doing? You've come with so many people, just to get a few things from the treasury?"

He waved his hand and said, "Get out, get out..."

Everyone came with curiosity, originally wanting to see what kind of evil-suppressing item Lu Xunhuan was looking for, but they were disappointed.

Minister Yu turned around and called out to everyone: "Let's go, let's go..."

The Crown Prince watched everyone turn around and leave, and he didn't forget to criticize them: "Everyone is an important official in the court, acting as if they have never seen anything special. What's so good about this..."

He turned back again and saw that the door was already open, so he stepped forward and said, "Come in."

After entering the national treasury, Lu Xunhuan began to touch around and look around.

The prince followed him all the way. He looked at it and put it down, and then the prince picked it up and looked at it and touched it.

After a while, Lu Xunhuan had gone a hundred steps deeper, but he didn't take a single fancy to anything.

The prince reached out and tugged at his clothes: "Hey, if there's nothing on this floor, we can go to the next one. Let's go."

Lu Xunhuan put down the objects in his hands, followed the prince, walked back a hundred steps, returned to the door, and walked up the stone steps to the next floor.

The layout of the next floor is no different from that of the middle floor, with rows of shelves holding countless collectibles.

Lu Xunhuan touched this, looked at that, and went deeper and deeper.

Before he knew it, he had taken another hundred steps forward.

The prince asked, "Lu Suifeng, you've been looking for so long, but you haven't found anything you like?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "I am looking for something used by the ancient high priest."

The prince asked, "How do you know which one was used by the high priest in ancient times?"

Lu Xun Huan put down the bronze artifact he was holding: "They have a special magnetic field, and the feeling of holding them is different."

The prince asked again, "How is it different? Tell me about it."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Even if I tell you, the prince won't understand."

The prince rolled his eyes and pulled his sleeve: "Don't rush to look for it, let's chat for a while."

Lu Xunhuan picked up a flying bird made of pure gold and said, "Wow, the craftsmanship is simply amazing..."

The prince asked, "Tell me the truth, has any prince or concubine come to you and ask you to kill me?"

Lu Xun Huan held the golden bird in his arms and said, "Your Highness, you can't say such things casually. This is not a joke."

The prince was a little impatient: "If you have it, then you have it. If you don't have it, then you don't have it. Just tell the truth."

Lu Xunhuan shook his head: "No."

The prince looked unconvinced. "As far as I know, many people came to your house yesterday. Who were they? Why did so many people suddenly come?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "Those are all treasure merchants from Treasure City. I asked you to make a decision for them on whether or not to expand their business in Yingzhou City."

The prince asked, "Really? What a coincidence that we all ran into each other?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "They came together, so naturally they're all together."

The prince insisted: "Alright then, have those people come to see me. I will support them in doing business in Yingzhou City."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Your Highness, please don't be suspicious. I assure you that no prince or queen has ever come to me."

The prince said dissatisfiedly: "Lu Suifeng, which side are you on? Can you tell the truth to this prince?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Your Highness, I am telling the truth."

The Crown Prince knocked on the shelf and said, "Tell me, what did Concubine De talk to you about?"

Lu Xun Huan thought for a moment and said, "The first time I met Her Majesty, I was coming out from visiting His Majesty. She asked if His Majesty's condition was serious, but we didn't talk about anything else."

The prince said: "Whether it is serious or not, can't she see it? What is there to ask? Father is seriously ill, she is ready to take action, right?"

Lu Xun Huan turned around holding the golden bird and said, "Your Highness, you are overthinking it."

The prince asked again, "Yesterday, she brought you in. What did you talk about?"

Lu Xun Huan put down the golden bird and picked up a jade artifact: "We didn't talk about anything, really."

As he spoke, he saw a bronze monkey head with a golden hoop on it.

That golden hoop, at least in appearance, looked exactly the same as the one hidden in his arms.

He couldn't help but be filled with astonishment. What the hell? Are there so many of these things in this world?

The Crown Prince was behind him, very dissatisfied and said: "Lu Suifeng, you two came in yesterday, two hours in total, and you dare not say a word?"

Lu Xunhuan reached out and took the golden hoop off the monkey's head.

"Your Highness, I found one. This monkey head can be used."

He put the golden hoop into his arms, reached out and picked up the heavy monkey head, pretending to look at it.

The prince's face was already showing an angry expression: "Lu Suifeng!"

Lu Xun Huan held the monkey head in his arms and said, "Your Highness, the Virtuous Concubine occasionally asks me questions, and they are all about these artifacts. If Your Highness really suspects that she has any ill intentions, I will investigate her later."

He asked the prince, "By the way, which prince did she give birth to?"

The prince said angrily, "You don't even know this, are you pretending to be stupid in front of me?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "My Lord, you have the Dragon Guards guarding you. Even if someone has ill intentions, they will have to think twice."

The prince said again, "Isn't this prince afraid that you've been bewitched?"

Lu Xun Huan shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I don't know much about the others, and you don't have any evidence either. You can't just make something up and ask me to lead the Imperial Guards to kill the Empress Defei. How can that be child's play?"

He paused, then continued, "If you don't trust me, I don't know what to say. I can only assure Your Highness that I am of the same mind as Your Majesty."

After hearing what he said, the prince pondered for a while.

"Alright, alright, I don't have the patience to accompany you to look for things anymore, so get out."

When he entered the treasury again today, Lu Xunhuan only took out one thing, which was the bronze monkey head.

If you haven’t found all the so-called evil-suppressing items, you can only come back next time.

The prince asked him to leave, and he didn't say anything and immediately followed the prince away.

After leaving the national treasury and parting ways with the prince, he hurried to the edge of Jingming Lake to take a look, then took Yun Zhongzi out of the palace and returned to the prime minister's residence.

He wanted to go back and study the golden hoop on the bronze monkey's head.
