The next morning, Li Mofu got up regardless of the aftereffects of staying up late. There were obvious blue spots under his eyes, which were the "medals" for not being able to sleep last night due to excitement. However, he could not care less about that. What young man does not stay up late?

After breakfast, Li Mofu followed Lu Mingyun to the courtyard of Lu Fengning and Wang Ruiyan. The four of them cleared out the servants everywhere and only left their trusted confidants guarding the door.

"Hurry, hurry, I've been patient all night. Do you know whether the imperial guards found the person in the end?" Li Mofu asked hurriedly.

Lu Mingyun shook his head. "How could it happen so soon? The imperial guards might still be searching outside."

"Indeed, I asked someone to go out to buy groceries this morning to observe, and the royal guards are still patrolling the city." Wang Ruiyan said softly.

Li Mofu asked excitedly, "So, that ghost immortal is definitely gone?"

"That's not certain yet, but my father went to the palace to ask for an audience this morning," said Lu Fengning.

"How can I not ask for an audience? This is a marquisate after all, and it is surrounded by the imperial guards. How can my father swallow this?" Lu Mingyun sighed and held his chin.

Lu Fengning nodded, his eyebrows drooping slightly. "But His Majesty doesn't care who you are now. I just hope father won't lose his temper with His Majesty. It would be terrible if His Majesty took his anger out on father."

"No, I heard that not only my father went to see His Majesty, but also many important officials of the court went to see him." Wang Ruiyan lowered her voice and said the news she had heard.

Li Mofu couldn't help but admire him and said, "It's only been a short while since the beginning of this day, and you've already heard so much news?"

"How could I sleep after such a big thing happened? I spent the whole night thinking about what to do in the morning, so I sent someone back to my parents' home to inquire." Wang Ruiyan pursed her lips and said. Her heart almost dropped to the bottom when she found out that she was surrounded by the royal guards last night.

"It seems that the royal guards not only searched our mansion last night, but also the other mansions were not spared. Your Majesty...this has offended every minister." Lu Fengning said helplessly.

Lu Mingyun lowered his eyes, thinking about something, then raised his head and said, "This matter can be considered a good thing for us. After all, the Ghost Immortal has been taken away, and the Crown Prince and the Emperor's dream of refining medicine and cultivating immortality can only be shattered."

"..." Li Mofu glanced at everyone and said, "Do you think it could be that Taoist priest?"

"Shh!" Wang Ruiyan raised her index finger and said, "Don't say it out loud. Just let everyone know. Don't cause trouble for the Taoist priest."

Li Mofu nodded repeatedly, his eyes sparkling. If the ghost immortal was really taken away by the Taoist priest, then the day when he and Lu Mingyun would be "untied" would be very near.

"Now that the witchcraft has been eliminated, I hope that Your Majesty and the Crown Prince will come to their senses." Lu Fengning said.

After he finished speaking, the other three were silent for a while, because they knew that it would be difficult for the emperor and the prince to turn back after reaching this point. No one could return to their original state after tasting the sweetness of human blood steamed buns.

"I'm afraid the emperor will go crazy next." Lu Mingyun sighed, folding his arms.

"I think so too. When the emperor was found missing yesterday, he immediately sent out the Royal Guards to patrol everywhere, and even the homes of ministers were searched. If they can't find him after searching the entire capital, won't they have to dig deep into the ground?" Li Mofu felt that he could no longer stay in the capital just by thinking about it, but leaving at this time would inevitably attract the emperor's attention, not to mention that the city gates were closed.

Lu Fengning frowned and thought of that scene, "At least now that the Ghost Immortal has disappeared, Rui Yan won't be targeted anymore."

Li Mofu and Wang Ruiyan looked at each other. Now the emperor and the prince would definitely give priority to finding the ghost immortal, but the fact that they were "medicines" was certain. What if the emperor and the prince went crazy and decided to make medicine themselves without the ghost immortal?
