Miss Feng Wu, the female alchemy goddess, is busy refining alchemy

"No way, the news was just released yesterday. No matter how recent it is, it can't come that fast."

"That's right, how could it come so fast!"

Feng Yunzhao ignored the comments of the people below. The auctioneer called twice but still no one bid.

"For the third time, 360 million. Congratulations to the young master in Private Room No. of Tianzi for winning the auction. This auction has come to a successful conclusion."

However, everyone in the auction house was different from the usual exit. Everyone was waiting where they were. Some people could no longer bear the temper and shouted in advance.

"Is it true that your auction house is going to auction marrow cleansing liquid? Can that thing really grow spiritual roots?"

"That's right, how do you prove the effectiveness of the medicine?"

Although everyone has these questions in their minds, this person's calculations are almost jumping to other people's faces.

Everyone sighed, "Tsk."

Some people in the aristocratic family could no longer hold their temper. The head of the Yan family asked first:

"Let the person in charge come out and tell us. We all want to know the truth and it's best to come up with the potion."

Ye Nanshan cursed in his heart, "It's a beautiful idea, and he even took out the potion. If he really dared to take it out, he would be skinned alive by these people today!" ’

Manager Huang walked to the auction stage,

"Everyone, please be patient. I am the manager of Yisu Auction House in Kyoto. Our auction house is indeed going to auction the marrow cleansing liquid. This news is absolutely true, and this news has been notified to all the auction houses in Dongzhou. It will be announced soon. Auction at this venue!”

Tang Xudong'an cursed "Old Fox" and the whole Dongzhou knew about it, so the competition would be too fierce.

"You will know the effect after taking it."

Someone asked again: "Is there only two bottles? Will there be more in the future?" Everyone nodded. Yes, this is the point. How can so many people grab two bottles? If you have a few more bottles, your chances of grabbing them will be greater.

Manager Huang didn't know if Mr. Tang was still there, after all, he didn't dare to ask.

"This is unknown, but we have only received two bottles here so far, so you should go back and prepare more."

Everyone was cursing ‘profiteers’ in their hearts, but what could they do? The entire Dongzhou knows about it, and all the noble families in Dongzhou will rush here.

We can only hope that they are too far away to catch up.

After all, everyone left the auction house unwillingly, but the news about the marrow cleansing liquid immediately spread like snowflakes.

The inns in Kyoto were already fully booked because the time for testing the spiritual roots was coming soon. Now, due to the auction, many aristocratic families from other places paid high prices to buy private rooms reserved by others.

For a time, the price of guest rooms in Kyoto skyrocketed, rising one price at a time.

Businessmen in Kyoto made a lot of money, and people living in Kyoto also sorted out their empty rooms and prepared to rent them out.

Royal study room in the palace

The emperor was reviewing the memorial, and the eunuch An Gonggong beside him reported:

"Your Majesty, secret guard Ling San has something important to report."

The emperor put down the brush in his hand,

"Let him in and everyone else except you."

"Yes." Mr. An bowed and replied.

A man dressed all in black suddenly appeared in the room. Kneel down,

"Your Majesty, we have some clues about the marrow cleansing fluid. Yisu Auction House did not reveal who the auctioneer was, and kept his information strictly confidential. However, we got an important piece of information from the servants at the auction house. Clues. Some time ago, a Mr. Tang came to the auction house to sell elixirs. When he left, Elder Ye personally escorted him out and specifically stated that Mr. Tang was their honored guest. Recently, only this Mr. Tang has received this highest courtesy."

The emperor combed through this information and thought about it.

"That should be correct. It is the marrow cleansing liquid provided by Mr. Tang. Are there any other useful clues?"

Rei San thought for a while and continued:

"Mr. Tang also went to the auction the day before yesterday, and was accompanied by Elder Ye of the auction house throughout the process."

The emperor became more convinced of his guess,

"We can find out where Mr. Tang lives."

Ling San lowered his head and said, "My subordinates are incompetent. There is no trace of Mr. Tang in the inn we checked before."

The emperor angrily threw the paperweight at him.

"Trash, no one can find any use for it."

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Tang Gongzi Shenlong has never been seen, but his subordinates found out that he often comes in and out with the seventh young master from the Qing'an Marquis Mansion. The auction house guards have seen him three times. Elder Ye also confessed that they also have no regard for Young Master Feng. Be respectful.”

The emperor calmed down instantly,

"Qing'an Marquis Mansion? Seventh Young Master? Is he a concubine? I don't have any impression. Have you carefully investigated this Seventh Young Master?"

"Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates have checked that this young master is ordinary and has nothing special about him. He was just nominated by the master to be the companion of the second prince a few days ago. It is said that he has a good relationship with the second prince."

"Hongyuan? Have you found out how the Seventh Young Master and Young Master Tang met?"

"This... my subordinates have been investigating from the outside in the past few days and have not dared to investigate closely." Rei San answered carefully.

"Well, we can't let them notice. We must be cautious in our actions. Recently, the aristocratic families are also looking for this Young Master Tang. We must get ahead of them and establish a good relationship with this Young Master Tang. You go down first and then go investigate. Be careful, who else does Mr. Tang have contact with?"

The emperor waved his hand and asked the secret guard to retreat. He walked back and forth in front of the desk and then ordered Eunuch An:

"Go and summon the second prince. I have something to explain."

Mr. An replied "yes".

In the Lanting Palace, the second prince was conscientiously completing the lessons assigned by his master. The eunuch beside him, Mr. Run, was sorting out the books on the desk for him.

"It's time for your Highness to take a rest and have some refreshments."

Qi Hongyuan put down his pen and stretched his body.

"It's time to take a break. Have the dead soldiers who were sent out to investigate the news come back?"

Eunuch Run lowered his voice

"Not yet. Recently, everyone in Kyoto is investigating the news about the marrow cleansing fluid. Someone seemed to have gotten clues from the auction house guard before, but the guard was transferred out of Kyoto, so it is not easy to find out more."

Qi Hongyuan knocked on the table.

"It doesn't matter. There are so many aristocratic families and the royal families of the surrounding countries are trying to find out the news. There are too many people in Kyoto right now, but when it's time to fish in troubled waters, we can seize the opportunity."

A eunuch outside the door reported:

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has ordered you to go to the imperial study."

Qi Hongyuan was stunned. What did his father want to do with him at this time? Think back to whether you have made any mistakes in your recent actions.

He came to the imperial study room with anxiety and waited for the summons.

After being invited in by Eunuch An, he saw that there were only three people in the room, including his father and Eunuch An. It seemed that there was something important, so he spoke cautiously:

"Father, Wan'an, may I have anything to tell you?"

The emperor looked at the son born to the woman he loved most. In order to protect him, he deliberately ignored him and kept him away from the whirlpool of competition for the throne. He secretly planned his own power for him, but he could not express his love out loud.

They are all his own children, but he also knows the other two sons too well. No matter who ascends the throne, he will not let his brothers go. He really doesn't want to see them fighting each other.

"Get up, you've been doing well lately. Have you completed the homework assigned by your master seriously?"

The second prince felt flattered by the emperor's concern. His father rarely summoned him, and he existed like a transparent person in the palace, but he could still feel that his father cared about him, and the food and clothing expenses in his palace also increased. No less.

"Back to my father, I have completed the homework assigned by the master recently, so I will not worry my father." Qi Hongyuan replied movedly.

The emperor nodded,

"Who is your companion? Have you chosen?"

"Back to my father, I have given the list to the Grand Tutor for review. I have also seen that they are the seventh young master from the Qing'an Marquis Mansion and the fifth young master from the Grand Master's Mansion."

Qi Hongyuan replied doubtfully, why did his father suddenly care about his companion? Could there be something wrong?

"Don't think too much. It's nothing serious. I just heard that you are getting closer to the seventh young master of the Qing'an Marquis Mansion. How is he? Who else is there in the family?"

The emperor spoke to the second prince as if he were talking to everyone.
