Mi Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief, grateful for her sister's understanding, and said:

"Yes, I would like to ask you about something, about Li Ci, the captain of the returning team of the Western Expedition Army."

In the past, the Western Expedition was not considered any special information. At most, it involved a past event of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But after Chu Bushe came up with so many things, "Western Expedition" became a sensitive word.

Queen Mi was deep in thought. She said calmly:

"No problem. Come to the palace again later this month and I'll go and find out for you."

Mi Yuexi left.

When the real Qiao Xiang came to the palace to report, Queen Mi immediately ordered:

"Qiaoxiang, go to the clinic where Prince Rong is staying and observe who is active nearby. Be patient and confirm!"

"Your Majesty, I obey your command!"

Watching Qiaoxiang leave, Queen Mi concentrated on thinking.

She instinctively felt that the younger sister, who had become the head of the sect, might have stayed with Chu Bushe, and therefore concealed her whereabouts from her master.

But Chu Bushe is willing to keep her by his side, and Mi Yuexi herself is willing to stay with that guy, which is the strangest thing!

"There is definitely something fishy... This Chu Bushe first conspired with Concubine Yin, and now he has involved the head of my Du Shi Xuan. There must be a secret involved!"

Queen Mi knew her sister's personality very well. If she had any unspeakable secrets, she would definitely not tell them honestly.

If Yuexi is really around Chu Bushe...

"It just so happens that I haven't left the palace for many years. I can use Qiaoxiang's identity to go out and meet this Chu Bushe!"

......

Chu Bushe came back from Yi Yihan.

The progress of alchemy today can only be described with the tragic description of "full of the weight of history and the stench of political struggle."

Simply put, it is a history.

However, the "helping the seedlings grow faster" was still a good job. Chu Bu She already knew which leaf veins of the medicinal herbs were more sensitive and knew how to promote their growth more efficiently.

This time when he left the pawn shop, he even took those pots of medicinal plants with him, just to improve the age of the medicinal materials at any time.

Mi Yuexi came back even later than him, and as soon as she came back she took the initiative to report:

"Today I went to help you get information about Li Ci. Now we are just waiting for the news."

Chu Bushe didn't expect that she would take this matter so seriously.

Taking into account the leader's wife's utilitarianism, or her idea of ​​emphasizing the interests of the sect, Chu Bu She felt that he had to slow down his attitude and not always be so arrogant.

Otherwise, she should consider how to stop the loss.

"Really? When can we find a solution?" Chu Bushe asked.

"There's no need to lie to you. There will be clues later this month. Now is the time to investigate the intelligence."

"Okay, have you eaten yet? If not, I'll take you to a restaurant."

So, Chu Bu She recalled which restaurant in the capital had dim sum that suited Bai She's taste, and then took Mi Yuexi out for dinner.

Qiao Xiang, who was hiding nearby, saw Chu Bu She going out with a charming young woman. She was stunned at first, but then she caught a familiar scent from the other person's temperament.

Even though she wore a blindfold and a veil, there were many things she didn't hide.

Thinking about the Queen's strange instruction, Qiao Xiang immediately made her own judgment.

Could it be that he is really the leader? !

"We must tell the Queen this news immediately!"

Chapter 100: Du Shixuan's "Old Business"

"What, is it really at Chu Bushe's place?!"

When Queen Mi heard the news reported by the palace maid, she was shocked.

As the leader of a sect, my sister concealed her whereabouts and went out to do things. She even covered her face and stayed beside Chu Bu She...

Previously, she had asked her to investigate the returning team of the Western Expedition Army. Queen Mi already had a rough guess in her mind, but she did not expect it to be true.

What Queen Mi didn’t understand the most was that her sister Mi Yuexi...had only met Chu Bushe for a short time, at most just a short period of time under Qianlong Island!

Qiao Xiang was used to Queen Mi's indifference, and was suddenly frightened by her excited reaction, causing her breathing to tremble slightly.

"Empress, this is just Qiaoxiang's rough guess. I might be wrong. The woman she covered her eyes and face with might be Prince Rong's new maid..."

"How can there be so many coincidences? You don't have to tell the sect about this. I will handle it myself."

"Qiao Xiang understands."

"Then please step back and let me figure this out on my own."

Watching her most trusted palace maid walk out of the room, Queen Mi rolled back her sleeves slightly, revealing a section of her snow-white arm. She poured herself a cup of tea, drinking as she thought.

What Queen Mi is most suspicious about now is whether Mi Yuexi will go back to her old ways.

This "old business" does not mean that Mi Yuexi has done it, but it is an important matter that several generations of leaders of Du Shixuan have personally handled - using emotions to restrain those who may be "people of destiny" in order to protect the sect.

This "man of destiny" may be a royal descendant who is about to hold great power, or he may be a martial arts genius with extraordinary talent, a strange person who is capable of changing the entire world of martial arts!

The leaders of previous generations have basically all done this kind of "hooking up men" thing.

No matter whether the person opposite is a man or a woman, ugly or handsome, the leader will abandon all personal likes and dislikes and do a good job of this important matter which concerns the future of the sect.

However, this "hidden mission of the sect leader" was discontinued during the generation of Empress Tianwu. The empress who usurped the throne was neither man nor woman, and would not be persuaded by either persuasion or trickery, causing the previous sect leader to abandon the "mission".

In this generation, because Mi Wangshu entered the palace and became the queen, Du Shixuan's position was unshakable, and the head of the sect no longer had to do such things.

Queen Mi believed in her sister's maturity, and she must have her own reasons for doing so.

"Could it be that Yuexi saw Chu Bushe's uniqueness under Qianlong Island and decided to invest in him..."

Since she already holds the power of the government, Queen Mi doesn't want Mi Yuexi to do anything that goes against her inner preferences.

Just like when she obeyed her master's instructions and became the Crown Princess, the Queen herself did not like her current situation, but whatever she did not do had to be done by Mi Yuexi.

The Queen was struggling with whether to wait until Yuexi came to the palace next time and ask her in person.

Or should he disguise himself and leave the palace to meet Chu Bu She in person?

......

Chu Bushe went to the pawnshop for three consecutive days and was exhausted every time. He hated the trip back and slept directly at Yi Yihan's place.

However, today's progress made Chu Bu She so excited that he even forgot his tiredness.

Among the recipes for elixirs collected by Yuhua Pavilion in the early years, there was a recipe called "Yuanhun Pill", which was passed down from ancient times and has the ability to comprehend the heaven and earth.

It is recorded in all famous medical books of this world. It is a well-known elixir that is highly recognized by famous doctors in history and is even called a "magic pill".

This recipe for the elixir is not a secret at all, but it is precisely because of this that Yi Yihan and Chu Bushe dared to choose it as their goal.

There is no way. The recipe is too weird and strange. Who knows if it is made up?

You must choose a recipe that you trust, otherwise it would be fine if you just wasted your time, but the real trouble would be if something goes wrong during the meal.

The good thing about “Yuanhun Pill” is that it is highly recognized, but it is in a semi-lost state because the medicinal materials of the right year are gone and it cannot be refined.

Even so, the low-end version of Yuanhun Dan, which is made from weak medicinal materials, is called "Huiyuan Dan" and is still regarded as one of the rare and miraculous medicines that can restore life.

"Bu She, you have really worked hard these past few days. You have actually forcibly increased the efficacy of these herbs to 500 years. Now the only thing missing is the main ingredient, the Seven Souls Fruit, which has a 400-year efficacy."

Yi Yihan said this, carrying a bowl of medicine into the room and personally delivered it to Chu Bushe.

"what is this?"

"Qi-boosting soup. You have been practicing Qi to such an extent these past few days without adequate rest. Just drink it.

I also prepared some cakes for Baishe, and asked a famous cake chef to make them."

In the past few days, Yi Yihan changed the way he addressed the big white snake from "senior" to calling it by its name. This was allowed by Baishe and was considered as recognition.

There was no way out. This girl would always rush pastry chefs from all over the Great Zhou to the vicinity of the capital, and then send the pastries to Bai She after they were made.

The big white snake started eating without saying a word, and Chu Bushe drank the medicine in one gulp.

When I think about leaving, I feel a little reluctant.

"I will take this 'Seven Souls Fruit' back tonight. After resting enough at night, I can make it into a 500-year-old one by tomorrow morning. I can try to make medicine and elixir during the day."

"There's no need to rush for one or two days, right? This is a long-term consideration. Even if we can start refining the elixir tomorrow, there's an 80% chance that we'll fail."

Yi Yihan wanted him to keep calm and not get discouraged after his first failure.

The higher the expectations, the more likely your inner motivation will be hit when the actual results do not match your expectations.

"Don't worry, I just can't wait. I've already planned to fail, but it's hard not to be excited about refining the elixir for the first time. If I can't start the furnace tomorrow, I will be so anxious that I can't sleep."

Since Chu Bu She said so, the woman in the snow-white dress didn't try to persuade her any further. She was also curious and expectant in her heart.

"By the way, apart from your technique, will there be any improvement in the future? I have never heard of such a magical technique that can even make the age of medicinal materials increase suddenly."

Yi Yihan originally thought that Chu Bushe's martial arts, which could adjust the meridians, were already very mysterious and wonderful, but he didn't expect that he could come up with something new.

Chu Bu She smiled awkwardly and said:

"It will be difficult to make further progress in a short period of time, because I am practicing a fragment, and now it has reached its limit. I have to complete the practice to advance to the next level."

From the man's further explanation, Yi Yihan learned that the real name of his martial arts technique was "Dragon Snake Heavenly Evolution Kung Fu", but he had no idea what was going on.

This was a martial art that she had never even heard of in a single rumor.

“Without referring to your technique, the greatest magic lies in the changes it brings to external objects, to the extent that even the core meridians can be changed.

Of all the skills I have heard of, the only one that has similarities to it is probably the evil forbidden technique, the Heavenly Demon Killing Induction. "

"Indeed, there are some similarities. This Heavenly Demon Killing Attraction can cause distortion to the practitioner, and even make him become all kinds of strange."

Both are changes, but one focuses on the outside and the other focuses on the inside.

They have had a lot of interactions with "The Demonic Killing Guide" recently.

After Bai She finished eating the cakes and was satisfied, Chu Bu She left with a pot of medicinal plants and went home.

On the way back, Chu Bu She happened to pass by Li’s pharmacy.

A few days ago, Chu Bu She tried to explore the meridians of medicinal plants for the first time in their shop.

Shopkeeper Li chased out as if he was looking for something, and said:

"Your Highness Prince Rong, wait a minute, could this be a seven-soul fruit that's three or four hundred years old?!"

He came out because he smelled the fragrance of medicine. He has been doing business with medicinal materials for a lifetime and he can identify any medicinal material that is over a hundred years old just by smelling it.

But this seven-soul fruit that is three or four hundred years old is not simple. It is the main ingredient of the current miraculous medicine "Huiyuan Pill".

Seven Souls Fruit of this high vintage is hard to find in the world!

Maybe the efficacy of the medicine can be raised to the level of the legendary ancient recipe, "Yuanhun Dan"!

Chu Bushe said suspiciously:

"It should be the Seven Souls Fruit. I just took it to show off to my friends. What can I do for you, Shopkeeper Li?"

Shopkeeper Li, whose hands were covered with calluses, did not hide anything. He looked at the old medicine in front of him curiously and said:

"I have been taking medicine all my life, and I smelled the aroma of the medicine, so I was curious and came out to take a look.

By the way, His Majesty’s birthday banquet is coming soon, and many dignitaries have asked me to buy famous medicines and elixirs to present to His Majesty.

Perhaps His Royal Highness Prince Rong can present it to His Majesty and seek His Majesty's favor, and perhaps His Majesty will be pleased?"

As a native of the capital, Shopkeeper Li naturally knew the predicament faced by Prince Rong.

The current emperor is incorruptible and has thrown away all power, leaving it to the two phoenixes in the court to handle. How could he hear the prince's voice?

Taking advantage of the important event of His Majesty's birthday, we can directly please His Majesty and perhaps gain his trust.
