Granny Du looked at her happily. âI just flattered her a little and she gave it to me. She even said that after the Heir-Consort finished eating, she would ask her aunt to help buy it.â
Granny Xu looked at Granny Duâs smile and was secretly jealous. Why was she so lucky to easily obtain her indenture?
âGo back and wait first. Iâll report to the Heir-Consort now.â
Granny Du nodded with a smile and left excitedly.
Granny Xu went to the main courtyard and told the Heir-Consort, Madam Tang, what Granny Du had said. âPrincess Consort, look at how readily she gave it to Granny Du. Perhaps her pills can really extend life?â
Madam Tang glared at her. âAre you stupid?! Use your brain to think about it. Even the Hajima Pill rewarded by the Empress Dowager didnât have such effects. There must be something strange about her.â
Nanny Xu smiled awkwardly. âI deserve to die. I shouldnât have thought of taking advantage.â
Madam Tang looked at the glowing red Divine Immortal Pill in her hand and smelled it. A refreshing fragrance assaulted her nose. She thought to herself that if this was not brought over by that bitch, she might have really tried it.
âThis thing is definitely not something good. I have to send it to the Heir Lord quickly so that it can be taken to the Imperial Hospital for examination!â
Chu Yan, the son of Duke Fu, was also very surprised to see the pills. After thinking about it, he took the pill to the Imperial Hospital and found Imperial Physician Wu, who was close to him, to check.
After Imperial Physician Wu checked, he was shocked and hurriedly pulled him to a quiet place. He stared at him and said, âHeir Lord, this is clearly a medicinal pill refined from the Five Stone Powder that Great Ancestor strictly prohibited from consuming. It was enhanced with some herbs with a strange fragrance.â
âFive Stone Powder,â Chu Yan exclaimed in a low voice. His vision darkened and he almost fell to the ground.
Imperial Physician Wu supported him and looked at Chu Yan with a serious expression. âHeir Lord, Great Ancestor has strictly forbidden the subjects of Great Yong to consume this thing. It has been more than a hundred years since
Great Ancestor left. Itâs no wonder you donât know it. You should know that Great Ancestor has ordered that if the nobles and ministers consume this thing, they will be exiled after their ranks are cut.â
Chu Yan hurriedly stuffed a pouch into Imperial Physician Wuâs sleeve. âI got it by chance. Seeing that the color was good and there was a fragrance, I was curious, so I brought it to you to check what it was.â
Imperial Physician Wu glanced at him. âI donât think you knew what this is either. Otherwise, you wouldnât have shown it to me. You should know what to do. If I get caught, I wonât be able to escape responsibility.â
âThank you, thank you. I know what to do. I wonât implicate you.â
After Chu Yan cupped his hands in thanks to Imperial Physician Wu, he hurriedly left the Imperial Hospital.
After getting into the carriage, he gritted his teeth and looked at the medicinal pill in his hand. âWho exactly is this bitch who came to harm the entire Dukeâs Mansion? The Old Master is really something. Heâs already so old, but heâs still bewitched and hooked up with her. Now, he might even harm the entire Dukeâs Mansion.â
The carriage quickly returned to the Fu Countyâs residence and Chu Yan brought a few guards straight to the Fu Countyâs courtyard. When they reached the entrance, they said to the guards, âWatch this place. No one is allowed to enter or leave.â
After a few guards bowed in agreement, they guarded the courtyard door.
When Duke Fu saw his son run in angrily, he looked at him unhappily. âAh Yan, why did you barge in without informing me?â
Chu Yan rushed in front of Duke Fu and gritted his teeth as he pointed at Yu Yan, who was standing behind him.
âImmortal pills! I think itâs very good to eat it. Do you want me to get some for you to try?â The Fu Duke chuckled.
Chu Yan looked at Duke Fu and his eyes widened. âThese pills are made from
Five Stone Powder. This vixen siren is clearly trying to harm our Duke
Mansion.â
âNo, noâ¦â Duke Fuâs eyes widened when he heard this. He turned to look at Yu
Yan behind him, unwilling to believe that he was consuming Five Stones Powder. âWhat did you give me to eat?â
âIâll really give you immortal pills!â
Yu Yan did not know what the Five Stone Powder was. From the expressions of Chu Yan and Duke Fu, she could tell that it was not something good!
Looking at Duke Fu and his son, she said with an aggrieved expression, âHeir Lord, I really gave the royal prince immortal pills. I wonât harm the royal prince.â
âHow dare you quibble!â Chu Yan ignored Duke Fu and pointed at the trembling Yu Yan. âTell me, who asked you to harm my Duke Mansion? Where did this come from?
Yu Yan looked at the prince and retreated in fear. âI didnât know these were made from Five Stones Powder. She said that these were immortal pills. She also said that eating it can extend oneâs life and preserve oneâs youth forever.â He looked at her and shouted, âWho is she? Where does she live?â
Duke Fu also reacted and said to the heir, âQuickly bring people to capture that bitch and inform the Prince Consort.â
Duke Fu looked at Yu Yan and roared, âB*tch, hurry up and lead the way.â
Yu Yan agreed fearfully and rushed towards Osmanthus Street with Duke Fu and Chu Yan. When they arrived at the entrance of the Gao familyâs house, she pointed and said, âThatâs the one.â
âKnock on the door,â he ordered in a low voice.
Madam Gao opened the door a crack and saw the aggressive Chu Yan and guards behind Yu Yan. She hurriedly closed the door but it was pushed open by the guards.
When Madam Gao fell to the ground, she took out the pill from her sleeve cage and stuffed it into her mouth. When the guard picked her up and he saw her looking at Yu Yan with a strange smile.
When Yu Yan saw the black blood flowing out of Madam Gaoâs mouth and flowing down her face, she screamed in fear.
Chu Yanâs heart skipped a beat. He instinctively felt that something was wrong and hurriedly said, âGo in and search.â
The guard rushed in. After searching carefully, he did not find a pill.
Chu Yan got someone to drag Yu Yan in. He looked at her with a dark expression and said, âFind out where that woman hid the medicine.â
Yu Yan looked at the clean house and felt as if she was in an abyss. She entered the house where Madam Gao used to gather medicine and saw that it had already been turned into a mess by the guard.
Yu Yan stood in the house and looked around. She walked to the bed and turned to look at the guards. âSee if thereâs anything in here.â
The guard went forward and flipped his foot. He saw that it was not hollow below. There was also a partition. He patted the pedal and it lifted. He saw the neatly arranged black porcelain medicine jars inside.
Chu Yan found a cloth bag and put them away. He walked to the courtyard and looked at Madam Gaoâs corpse. He thought for a moment and asked the guard to enter the house to find a lock. He locked the courtyard door and brought the guard and Yu Yan back.
He got someone to lock Yu Yan in the house and placed the pills in front of Duke Fu. âFather, the bitch who sold the medicine committed suicide and died after consuming poison. I havenât informed Prince Consortâs residence yet. I donât know if the Prince Consort has given it to anyone else. What do you think we should do now?â
