A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

A day later, a terrible change occurred in Lü Qingchen's alchemy room.

The person in the alchemy room spoke in a voice that was neither male nor female, but like that of a palace eunuch.

Since Zhou Ruo added three talismans to Lü Qingchen's formation, Lü Qingchen has refined it more than a dozen times a day.

The remaining boys in the alchemy room did not fail in their alchemy, or rather, the boys hardly changed at all.

When Lü Qingchen felt puzzled, his voice changed.

It's no longer just a common hoarse voice from internal heat; it's effeminate.

When Lü Qingchen spoke, she unconsciously flicked her pinky finger, making the boys in the pill room feel like vomiting several times.

After drinking the longevity water newly refined by Lü Qingchen, the voice of the Duke of Lingguo became similar to that of Lü Qingchen.

The two men, speaking in their hoarse voices, questioned each other in the alchemy room.

Lu Qingchen suspected that the boy sent by the Duke of Ling was not pure in yang energy, which caused the problem when he was making the longevity elixir.

Duke Ling believed that Lü Qingchen's magic was incorrect and that she lacked the ability to refine the Elixir of Immortality.

The two argued more and more fiercely, and their voices became increasingly shrill.

Upon hearing this, the servants in the courtyard all rushed outside the alchemy room to see what was going on.

The sounds of Lü Ling and the other person made them cover their mouths and chuckle.

After laughing for a while, everyone was confused but didn't dare to go in and ask, so they dispersed.

Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo almost suffered internal injuries from bottling up their anger while listening to Lü Ling and Zhou Ruo arguing outside the alchemy room.

"Brother, so that's how people with a lot of yin energy speak!"

Zhao Jinzhong suddenly realized and said, "That's possible."

He was thinking that the eunuchs in the palace spoke in the same voice.

It's probably because they have too much yin energy and too little yang energy!

It's certain that Lü Qingchen will not be able to refine the Elixir of Immortality.

He couldn't understand it; everything was fine before.

It seems that ever since that boy who sneezes like a girl came, his process of refining the Elixir of Immortality has changed.

He felt the responsibility lay with the Duke of Ling, whose servants wouldn't choose stronger children when selecting them.

But since things have come to this, the only solution is to increase the number of children to replenish the yang energy.

"Lord Duke, please find a way to bring me another twenty children in the next two days."

Lu Qingchen spoke to the Duke of Ling, his hoarse voice carrying a hint of reproach.

Duke Ling was furious upon hearing this. "Do you think these children are like cabbages at the market, that you can buy as many as you want?"

Lu Qingchen acted as if she didn't care, "The orphanage in Tonggu County isn't enough, go look elsewhere!"

"It's not only in Tonggu County that there are male orphans."

Duke Ling found Lü Qingchen unreasonable and was about to verbally berate him for his poor technique in refining the Elixir of Immortality when a voice came from outside the door:

"Where else does the Taoist priest intend to look for orphans?"

Lu Qingchen and Duke Ling paused, then both looked towards the door.

Prince An pushed open the door and entered, leaving Duke Ling dumbfounded.

It wasn't until Prince An reached Duke Ling that Duke Ling came to his senses and asked uneasily, "Prince An? What brings you here, Your Highness?"

Prince An chuckled lightly, "Duke Ling, how have you been?"

"I heard you stole a lot of children to make some kind of elixir of immortality?"

Duke Ling's heart tightened, but he forced a calm laugh and said, "Your Highness, who told you that? We're just borrowing it."

Borrowing cannot be considered stealing.

Prince An frowned upon hearing the Duke of Ling's hoarse voice, but he didn't pay it any mind.

"Borrowed?" Prince An's gaze towards Duke Ling was like a knife. "You're done using him? Where is he?"

The Duke of Ling had no idea where Lü Qingchen had thrown the used child away, and he pulled Lü Qingchen over somewhat guiltily.

"Prince An is asking, where have you placed those children?"

Looking at the imposing Prince An before her, Lu Qingchen thought to herself, "This prince's status is higher than that of the Duke of Ling!"

Immediately afterward, Lü Qingchen smiled obsequiously and said, "Your Highness, I have settled all those children at Yunxu Temple, with my senior brother."

"You're talking nonsense!" A clear, childlike voice rang out beside them.

Duke Ling and Lü Qingchen were startled, with Lü Qingchen appearing slightly nervous.

He asked, pointing towards the direction of the sound, "Who was that? Who just spoke?"

While still in hiding, Zhou Ruo got angry when she heard Lü Qingchen say that he had settled the children at Yunxu Temple there.

She continued, "Those children weren't settled by you at all; they almost died!"

The sound that came out of nowhere made Lü Ling and the other person feel uneasy.

"Who...who is speaking?" Lu Qingchen's voice began to tremble.

An Chang, who followed Prince An in, stood behind him the whole time.

Upon hearing Zhou Ruo's voice, he spoke to her directly and without hesitation in front of everyone:

"Ruoruo, no one can see you yet."

An Chang did not openly reveal Zhou Ruo's "disappearance".

Zhou Ru slapped her forehead, then remembered, "Oh dear, I'm a little embarrassed, I forgot!"

After saying that, Zhou Ruo removed the invisibility talisman, and a cute little girl suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Startled, Lü Qingchen took several steps back, shouting as she retreated, "Demon! Demonic magic!"

When Duke Ling saw Zhou Ruo in this room, he was very shocked: "Zhou Ruo? How did you suddenly appear here?"

Where did you come from?

"I've always been here~ Oh right, and so has my brother!"

As Zhou Ruo spoke, she continued to remove the invisibility talisman from Zhao Jinzhong's body, allowing Zhao Jinzhong to reveal himself.

Lu Qingchen's legs went weak and she collapsed into the chair.

Duke Ling felt his breath catch in his throat. When did these two children come in?

Why can't we see them?

How much do they actually know about us?

How did Zhou Ruo know about the condition of the children that Lü Qingchen abandoned?

Is Prince An's sudden appearance related to these two children?

Was he one of the children from the Chongbao Orphanage?

There are only a few children, why would it alarm Prince An to come all the way here?

Duke Ling felt his mind was a complete mess, and he couldn't make sense of the situation at all.

He glanced at the soldiers surrounding the house and asked Prince An nervously, "Your Highness, what is this?"

"Duke Ling, you stole so many children from the orphanage. Don't you know that the orphanage was built with money from the Dowager Consort?"

Every child in the orphanage is connected to the Dowager Consort. You're trying to steal from her? You're asking for trouble!

After Prince An revealed the matter, he had no intention of saving face for Duke Ling.

"Wha...what? The orphanage...is the Dowager's?"

The Duke of Ling's mind was filled with lightning; he had always thought that the orphanage was run by his cousin.

His cousins ​​never mentioned a single word about the Dowager Consort in front of him.

Even when they discovered the child was not coming back, his cousin never told him that the orphanage belonged to the Dowager Princess.

If he had known from the beginning that the Baoyoutang belonged to the Dowager Consort, he wouldn't have dared to choose any of the children there, even if he had a hundred times the courage!
