Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 461 Visiting the Prime Minister's Mansion at Night (3)
Mu Yutang and Xiao Qingyu skimmed over the high walls and houses of the prime minister's mansion, avoiding groups of guard posts, and gently floated down in front of a small building.

Looking at the exquisite and elegant two-story building, Mu Yutang blinked, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Qingyu, are you sure this is the warehouse of the Xiangfu?"

The warehouses of famous nobles are mostly precious treasures and rare medicinal materials. The warehouses are as exquisite and transparent as the houses they live in, but the small building in front of them looks like a woman's embroidery building, which is completely different from the warehouses where things are stored. could not be reached.

"Xue Yiwei has already inquired clearly, this is the warehouse." Xiao Qingyu said softly, Bai Yu's fingers grabbed the big iron lock and gently pulled it, only to hear a 'click', and the lock opened.

Mu Yutang curled her lips. The inner strength of the ancients was indeed infinitely useful. Such a strong big lock can be opened as soon as she pulls it. She doesn't need to pick the lock with the tip of the hairpin. She just said, "You didn't pull the lock, did you?" The people in Xiangfu knew that someone had sneaked in.

"It should still work." Xiao Qingyu said casually, pushed open the door and walked in. There were no lights in the small building, but there were many precious jewels and night pearls in the center of the room, emitting a faint light in the darkness.

Mu Yutang has no internal energy and cannot see at night, so she took a big luminous pearl to illuminate it.

Looking around with cold eyes, he saw a box full of beautiful jade, bright gemstones, and strings of South Sea pearls. He could not help but raise his eyebrows. There are all kinds of rare treasures. Yes, did Ye Xiang earn it, or was it a bribe, a bribe?

Mu Yutang lightly stepped on the clean ground, walking slowly step by step, her cold eyes glanced over the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and fell on the boxes of medicinal materials. The boxes were made of high-quality wood, but compared to the batch of wooden boxes in the palace, It's still a bit short. Although the medicinal materials in the box are expensive, they are not rare.

"The batch of medicinal materials lost in the palace is not here. They may not have been stolen by Prime Minister Ye."

Xiao Qingyu's eyes were deep: "I hope so, but it can't be ruled out that the people in Xiangfu have already used up that batch of medicinal materials." The medicinal materials have been lost for three or four months, more than 100 days, and may be used up at any time.

Mu Yutang frowned tightly. The redbud fruit was stolen together with the medicinal materials. The medicinal materials were used, and the redbud fruit was probably also used. Without the redbud fruit, what would she have to go back to the Yan Palace to save people?
"Meow meow." There was a soft meow, and the snowball-like clumsy ran up to Mu Yutang, his tail was wagging slightly, and his beautiful big eyes were narrowed into a smile.

"Why did you follow in?" Mu Yutang lightly rubbed her clumsy little head, her cold gaze continued to scan the room, and she saw a circular high platform half a meter high in front of her.

The front, back, left, and right sides of the high platform are complemented by white marble marble, the surface is as smooth as a mirror. In the middle of the high platform stands a set of small gold armor with a height of [-] cm. The helmet and armor are separated, just like a model of a general's battle armor.

Mu Yutang touched the armor and praised softly: "It's made of pure gold, very meticulous and detailed, just like the real thing, the model is too small to wear, but the value is not low..."

Benben saw that she only cared about the model and ignored it, her fragile heart was hurt a little bit, she screamed 'meow', and jumped on the helmet: The hostess only looks at the helmet and doesn't look at it, this helmet is so good ?

Just as the fat little body landed on the armor, the armor sank suddenly, and the tight platform quickly split to both sides, and layers of white marble steps slowly appeared in front of the eyes, winding downwards without direction.

Clumsy was caught off guard, his snowball-like body was brought off the high platform by the armor, and rolled down the white marble steps.

Mu Yutang looked at the bottomless steps, and there was something meaningful in her eyes: "I didn't expect that there are organs in this warehouse, let's go down and have a look."

"Okay!" Xiao Qingyu's obsidian-like pupils glowed darkly, holding Mu Yutang's little hand, stepped onto the white marble steps, and went down the steps silently.

Clumsy fell on the solid ground, dizzy and tinnitus from the fall, his eyes were full of stars, and everyone was doubled. When he saw Mu Yutang walking down, he whimpered and threw himself into her arms with the last of his strength. Li, rubbing against her clothes, looking for comfort.

The secret room was pitch-black, with a faint light flickering around the corner, and the cold wind mixed with a faint smell of medicine rushed towards his face. Xiao Qingyu's eyes were fixed: "Someone is refining medicine."

Bai Yu grasped Mu Yutang's little hand tightly, and pulled her around the corner. Suddenly, she saw four big night pearls on the walls on both sides, illuminating the secret room as bright as day.

In the center of the open space ahead stood a tall alchemy stove. The mist in the stove curled up, and the fragrance of medicine wafted out from time to time. A woman in a black cloak was putting medicinal materials into the medicine stove. When she saw Xiao Qingyu and Mu Yutang, they first Startled, then shouted loudly: "Come on..."

Xiao Qingyu's eyes were fixed, and he directed a force, and clicked on the woman's acupuncture points in the air!
The words that the woman hadn't yelled were stuck in her throat, she kept her shouting posture and stood still on the spot, her eyes rolled sharply, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Mu Yutang looked at the woman's old face, and her eyes widened in surprise: "It's you."

Xiao Qingyu's eyes froze: "Do you know her?"

"She's the witch doctor that Mu Yunjia invited to go to Mu Guogong's mansion to change his face." Mu Yutang saw this witch doctor two or three times, and was very impressed with her. She looked at her with a smile that was not a smile: " I haven't received a face-changing business recently, so I came to the Prime Minister's Mansion of Baihu Kingdom to take over the business of refining medicine? What kind of medicine did you refine?"

The witch doctor glared at Mu Yutang, turned his head to one side, and ignored her.

Xiao Qingyu stepped forward, looked at the boxes of medicinal materials on the wooden shelf, and a dark light flickered in his deep eyes: "If I guess correctly, what she made is the elixir of life."

"The elixir of life?" Mu Yutang stared wide-eyed at the white mist rising from the medicine stove, with curiosity and doubt in her pupils: "Is there really such a medicine in the world?"

"There is a prescription for the elixir of life, but so far, no one has made it." Xiao Qingyu's voice was flat.

Refining the elixir of life requires not only rare and rare medicinal materials, but also many very exotic materials. The refining process is also very cumbersome and complicated. If you are not careful, all previous efforts will be wasted. Therefore, for a hundred years, there have been no prescriptions. But no one made this heaven-defying medicine.

The witch doctor looked at Xiao Qingyu in shock. The prescription of the elixir of life was a secret of her Poison Doctor Valley. Only the owners of the valley knew it. How did the prince Qi in front of him know about it?

Xiao Qingyu didn't know what was going on in her mind, and scanned the medicinal materials on the shelf with deep eyes, and said in a calm voice, "The box is not from the palace, but the medicinal materials inside are exactly the same as those lost in the palace."

"So, the emperor also wants to refine the elixir of life." The corners of Mu Yutang's mouth twitched slightly, a smile that was not a smile: The rare medicinal material was stolen, and there was no substitute for it for a while. Immortal and angry in his heart, he will naturally be furious at everyone.
