Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Chapter 45 Chen Wanrong: I will plant a love potion in him

As a former grandmaster martial artist, Mu Changtian couldn't possibly be unaware of what the Great Rejuvenation Pill was.

However, he had only heard of it before, but had never seen it.

Legend has it that the Great Rejuvenation Pill can bring people back to life and fully restore their power.

Although the rumors are somewhat exaggerated, restoring one's power is definitely not a problem, as there are Great Rejuvenation Pills in the imperial palace.

Mu Changtian looked at the three small porcelain bottles in Zhao Hong's hand with some disbelief.

After a moment of silence, Mu Changtian said with a cold laugh, "I didn't expect some people to be so impatient. We haven't even left the capital yet, and they're already planning to make a move against me."

At this point, how could anyone possibly come to their rescue, let alone give them a miraculous elixir like the Great Rejuvenation Pill?

Clearly, this was someone planning to take action against them beforehand, poisoning them to death.

What kind of bullshit Great Rejuvenation Elixir is this!

It's clearly poison.

Mu Changtian then said, "Speak, who exactly sent you?"

"If it's Lu Xingqiu, haha, I'd rather die on the road than take the poison he gives me!"

Seeing that Mu Changtian seemed to have misunderstood him, Zhao Hong said with a smile, "Duke Mu, you have misunderstood. Those who want to kill you will not let you die in the Heavenly Prison."

"The Great Rejuvenation Pill in my hand is indeed genuine. As for which prince gave it to you, you will soon find out. If you still want to see your daughter, you'd better take the Great Rejuvenation Pill immediately and try to recover your full strength before being exiled."

If Zhao Hong were to say now that the Great Rejuvenation Pill was given to Mu Changtian by the Northern King, Mu Changtian would probably be even less likely to believe it, since the image of the Northern King as a good-for-nothing is already deeply ingrained in people's minds.

When Zhao Hong mentioned his daughter, Mu Changtian was taken aback.

At this moment, Mu Jingwu from the next cell said, "Father, give it to me. I'll take it first. Even if it's poison, I'll accept it. We don't have many days left to live anyway."

Mu Changtian looked at the small porcelain bottle in Zhao Hong's hand again. After pondering for a moment, he finally grabbed the bottle from Zhao Hong's hand, opened one of the bottles, and threw the pills inside into his mouth.

Just as Mu Changtian was preparing to face death, he discovered that his internal energy was beginning to recover, and he immediately felt incredibly comfortable.

Soon, he felt his power return. Although it was not fully restored, he now possessed the strength of a ninth-grade martial artist.

Mu Changtian looked at the two small porcelain bottles remaining in his hand in disbelief. These were actually the Great Rejuvenation Pills?

How is that possible!

The Great Rejuvenation Pill is only available in the imperial palace.

Such a pill that can restore one's power is coveted not only by grandmasters, but even by great grandmasters.

One is already incredibly precious, but now this jailer has given me three!

If people knew that there were three Great Rejuvenation Pills in the common people, the entire capital would probably be in chaos. Such precious pills were actually taken out by a prince?

and many more……

Mu Changtian seemed to have thought of something.

The jailer in front of him seemed to only say that the pills were given to him by a prince, but he didn't say that the prince was the Xia Emperor's child.

The Great Xia Dynasty had many princes, and it wasn't just the current princes who could be granted the title of prince; some could also be regional kings.

Could it be that a vassal king is planning a rebellion and is therefore trying to win me over?

Thinking of this, Mu Changtian instantly made up his mind.

That must be it, otherwise why would the other party be willing to give up three Great Rejuvenation Pills to help him and his two sons recover their power?

However, even if that prince were to rebel, he wouldn't care.

Lu Xingqiu is an ingrate. So what if we rebel against him!

Thinking of this, Mu Changtian immediately said to Zhao Hong, "Thank you. Go back and tell your prince that whatever he wants me to do, I, Mu Changtian, will oblige."

At this point, Mu Changtian tossed the two small porcelain bottles in his hand to Mu Jingwu and Mu Xingping in the next cell.

After receiving the small porcelain bottle, Mu Jingwu and Mu Xingping drank it without saying a word.

When they both felt the restored power within their bodies, they showed expressions of disbelief.

This isn't poison, but a real elixir of immortality?

So, does that mean their father has also regained his powers?

If that's the case, they might be able to put up some resistance on the way, preventing them from being slaughtered in a one-sided manner.

As for whether they can reach the Northwest alive, that's up to fate.

Zhao Hong said, "Yes, Duke Mu, I will convey your words to the Prince."

"I won't bother you any longer."

Zhao Hong then turned and left the cell.

After the cell doors were closed again, Mu Xingping immediately asked, "Father, which prince dared to send us elixirs at this time, and the legendary Great Rejuvenation Elixir at that!"

Mu Changtian was silent for a moment, then said, "It seems that some vassal kings are getting restless and want to take advantage of Lu Xingqiu's dealings with the aristocratic families to unite with them and rebel against Lu Xingqiu."

The powerful families had long known that Lu Xingqiu might take action against them, so they couldn't just sit idly by. The most likely scenario was that they would support a certain prince, overthrow Lu Xingqiu's rule, and replace him with someone else as emperor.

Just like how aristocratic families helped Lu Xingqiu ascend the throne back then.

Hearing Mu Changtian's words, Mu Jingwu asked from the side, "Father, what should we do?"

Mu Changtian chuckled and said, "What can we do? I was the one who put Lu Xingqiu on the throne back then. Since he's turned his back on me, don't blame me for bringing him down!"

Mu Changtian had already made up his mind: if anyone really wanted to turn against Lu Xingqiu, he would definitely support that person.

Clearly, these three Great Rejuvenation Pills were a sign of the other party's sincerity; otherwise, they wouldn't have given them such precious pills.

I just don't know who that prince is?

There weren't many princes in the Great Xia Dynasty who were capable of rebelling. Although the Great Xia Dynasty granted some princes a great deal of power, Lu Xingqiu liked to stir up trouble in those fiefdoms with more development potential.

If things really get out of control, then just have the shadow guards take action and resolve any potential troubles beforehand.

Lu Xingqiu had done this kind of thing before. Mu Changtian knew of a prince who was killed by Lu Xingqiu's shadow guards. After the prince was killed by the shadow guards, the court pushed all the blame onto the chief administrator of the prince's fiefdom, saying that he imprisoned the prince and intended to rebel.

After pondering for a moment, Mu Changtian ultimately did not expect that the vassal king would try to win him over, so he had no choice but to give up. Anyway, he would know who was trying to win him over once he got out.

at the same time.

Xuan Yue Palace.

Inside the light gauze curtain, amidst swirling smoke, a woman dressed in simple white robes sat before a zither, earnestly playing the instrument.

The woman was tall and slender with a graceful figure. A gentle breeze blew, lifting the light veil in front of the door and revealing a glimpse of her beautiful face.

The woman's stunningly beautiful face, flawless and without a single impeccable blemish, exuded a touch of aloofness, making her seem like a goddess from the heavens or a fairy descended to earth.

At this moment, a beautiful woman dressed in a purple cloud-patterned dress, exuding a dignified and luxurious air, entered the room.

The melodious piano music stopped as the woman arrived, and she asked, "Aunt Lin, is something the matter?"

The woman's voice was clear and cool, yet with a touch of gentleness.

The beautiful woman asked, "Palace Master, are you truly planning to go to the Northern Prefecture?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wanrong stood up and slowly walked out of the gauze curtain. At this moment, her holy face came into the beautiful woman's view.

Chen Wanrong said softly, "Only the blood of the Xia Emperor's child can be used to make the Dragon Subduing Curse, and the Northern Prince is the easiest prince to approach."

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman's face showed a hint of worry. "But I've heard that the Northern King is a lecherous man. He keeps many maids in his mansion and spends his days indulging in pleasure. What if he takes a fancy to you..."

The woman did not continue speaking.

Chen Wanrong looked at the distant green mountains expressionlessly and said calmly, "People are easier to control when they have desires. I will plant a love potion in him and then manipulate him to help us complete the Dragon Subduing Curse."

Hearing this, the beautiful woman sighed and then said, "He is Chu Yue's child. If possible, I hope that the Palace Master will spare his life in the end."

Chen Wanrong did not respond, but simply looked into the distance. A gentle breeze blew, causing her dress to sway.
