Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chen Mingyue felt goose bumps all over her body as she listened to Duke Huiguo's deliberately drawn-out tone.

She couldn't help hugging her arms and shaking them, but her thoughts turned to the word immortality.

If the Phoenix Gu is real, then wouldn't she also be able to live forever?

"Duke, do you know any inside information?" Chen Mingyue became more and more excited the more she thought about it, and she hurriedly asked Duke Huiguo, hoping to get first-hand information from him.

Duke Huiguo snorted and laughed: "If I had any inside information, I would never reveal it to you."

Stunned by these words, Chen Mingyue didn't know how to refute.

She could only pull on Duke Huiguo's sleeve and act as coquettishly as she could: "The Phoenix Gu represents a very important meaning, so I'm naturally curious whether it's real."

Duke Huiguo snorted and said, "I am more curious than you are, but it's a pity that no one can prove it to be true."

After hearing this, Chen Mingyue knew that Duke Huiguo was skeptical. No, to be precise, because he was already in his seventies, Duke Huiguo actually believed that the Phoenix Gu was real.

If he could live forever, wouldn't the wealth and splendor that the Duke of Huiguo has now last forever? And she, the wife of the Duke of Huiguo, could continue to bully others and show off her power.

Because of her own interests, Chen Mingyue also hopes that the Phoenix Gu is real.

Her tone became anxious: "Is the Queen going to verify whether the Phoenix Gu is real or not? Then how can I help her?"

Seeing that she was very interested, Duke Huiguo stroked his chin and looked at her for a long time before saying with a smile, "I heard that the recipe for refining Phoenix Gu has fallen into the hands of the Queen, and the recent disappearance of the doctor is related to the Queen."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Queen has already started refining the Phoenix Gu, so we will soon know whether the Phoenix Gu is real or fake."

Duke Huiguo said this without any expectation in his tone, because the deputy leader of the White Lotus Sect had spent so many years without success, so how could the Queen verify that the Phoenix Gu was real in such a short time.

He knew very well that the Phoenix Gu was fake, but he also hoped that it was real. He thought that the Emperor and his wife felt the same as he did, which was why they were unwilling to give up the Phoenix Gu.

"I really didn't know about the doctor's disappearance. If I knew, I would definitely find more prestigious doctors and ask them to help the queen refine the Phoenix Gu."

Chen Mingyue was not a worm in Duke Huiguo's stomach and had no idea what he was thinking.

She was obsessed with the Phoenix Gu and hoped very much that it was real. Only in this way could she live forever and maintain her status as the wife of Duke Huiguo for a long time.

"Hey, why doesn't the Queen want to use Wan Shufang? Even the imperial physician praises Wan Shufang's medical skills. If she helps the Queen, wouldn't it shorten the time it takes to refine the Phoenix Gu?"

Chen Mingyue quickly thought of Wan Shufang, and was surprised that the queen had no intention of targeting Wan Shufang.

The queen's status was there. If she spoke up, even if Wan Shufang was the general's wife, she would not be able to refuse the queen. Why didn't the queen look for her? Is there something else going on?

Chen Mingyue's mind raced, and she felt more and more that she couldn't miss out on this matter.

She immediately stood up and went to the palace to see the Queen, and persuaded her to order Wan Shufang to help refine the Phoenix Gu.

"Wan Shufang is a very good doctor, and she has a lot of wonderful ideas. If she is with us, we will be able to get twice the result with half the effort in refining the Phoenix Gu."

"Duke, please follow me to the palace to see the Queen. We have to persuade the Queen not to ignore Wan Shufang."

Chen Mingyue's impatience was beyond Duke Huiguo's expectations, and he couldn't help but look at Chen Mingyue in surprise.

Seeing her eyes sparkling, as if she was looking forward to the success of the Phoenix Gu, he instantly understood that Chen Mingyue also wanted immortality like the emperor and his wife.

"Do you think the Queen doesn't want Wan Shufang's help? Unfortunately, Wan Shufang doesn't believe that the Phoenix Gu is real. Not only did she reject the Queen, she also went to Your Majesty to complain about the Queen."

Duke Huiguo's tone was sarcastic, but his expression was somewhat inexplicable, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment.

"His Majesty was very angry and confined the Queen to her house. The Queen's current behavior is a slap in the face of His Majesty. If His Majesty knew about this, he would definitely find a way to stop the Queen."

"You ran into the palace to persuade the Queen, isn't that a slap in the face of His Majesty? Chen Mingyue, who gave you the courage to disrespect His Majesty?"

Duke Huiguo finished his speech and questioned Chen Mingyue in a cold voice.

"I'm not disrespectful to Your Majesty." Chen Mingyue quickly retorted, "I'm just worried about the Queen and want to go to the palace to care for her."

Seeing her quick reaction, Duke Huiguo smiled and said, "That's right."

Chen Mingyue glanced at Duke Huiguo and asked curiously, "Don't you believe in Phoenix Gu? But that's not what you just said. Duke, you're not afraid that Wan Shufang will scold you for being old and confused, so you don't want to believe that Phoenix Gu is real in front of me, right?"

Duke Huiguo looked at her and found it incredible.

This woman would never speak to me in this tone before, how come she has the guts to do this now? Is the attraction of Phoenix Gu so strong?

Duke Huiguo stroked his chin and thought, then thought of what the queen was going to do, and immediately smiled and said, "I am willing to believe it is true, so we have to help the queen with what she wants to do, but we can't let outsiders know, otherwise some people will stop the queen."

Chen Mingyue still wanted Wan Shufang to help, but when she heard that this matter could not be known to outsiders, she was very disappointed.

"It's a pity that Wan Shufang's excellent medical skills are not used." Chen Mingyue encouraged Duke Huiguo, "You should have a way to get Wan Shufang to help, right? You tell me to do it, and I will never let Wan Shufang suspect you."

Duke Huiguo said with a cold face: "Wan Shufang cannot move, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Chen Mingyue was angry, but she didn't dare to show it. She could only ask shyly, "Why? She's the queen. Wan Shufang rejected her once. Can she reject her again?"

She rolled her eyes and said, "The Queen can take such action, which shows that His Majesty is clear in his mind. Lord, that is immortality. If the Queen is thinking about it, how can His Majesty not be thinking about it too?"

"Even if Wan Shufang is the general's wife, she is still a minister's wife. If His Majesty is interested in her, does she really dare to refuse?"

"Even if she dares, Chen Changli won't dare. Chen Changli is not like Wan Shufang, a foolish country woman who knows nothing. If he wants to save his family's lives, he will naturally find a way to persuade Wan Shufang."

"When Wan Shufang understands what will happen if she refuses His Majesty, she will definitely be more loyal than a dog."

Chen Mingyue deliberately used a dog to humiliate Wan Shufang, as if she was very sure that Wan Shufang would wag her tail at the emperor like a dog, begging the emperor to give her a chance to refine the Phoenix Gu.

"You have a point. It seems that Wan Shufang can still be used to some extent." Duke Huiguo seemed to be thinking about something. "But how to use her? We have to think of a perfect plan. We can't let her bite us back."
