In other words, he knew the medicinal materials needed for the elixir, but he didn't have the method to refine it.

But I can't tell this to the emperor directly, otherwise I'm afraid he will have a hard time from now on.

So he smiled, and when he raised his eyes to look at the emperor, he was full of confidence.

"Of course there is, but the medicinal materials needed for this elixir of life are somewhat special. In addition to the special medicinal materials, it also requires a unique medicine inducer."

"What kind of medicine introduction?"

"Placenta and..."

Taoist Qingxu whispered another medicinal ingredient in the emperor's ear. After hearing it, the emperor's eyes widened instantly with disbelief, and then frowned, as if he was having a fierce struggle in his heart.

Taoist Qingxu didn't care about his expression. He just stroked his beard and said in a profound voice: "Your Majesty is the supreme ruler of the world. For your life, anyone can make concessions and sacrifices!"

The emperor's heart was in turmoil, and there was an indescribable look in his eyes, including fear, shock, and excitement that his dream was about to come true.

But in the end, he still waved his hands at Taoist Qingxu and said in a tight voice: "Let me think about it again, think about it again..."

The emperor waved to Taoist Qingxu, who saluted him, then stood up and left Chonghua Palace.

The emperor was the only one left in the entire Chonghua Palace. One could hear a pin drop in the hall. This situation continued until Li Zhong returned.

The heavy palace door was pushed open by Li Zhong from the outside. The sound of "zhi ya" finally brought the emperor back to his senses. At the same time, a gleam of light burst out from his cloudy eyes, which stunned Li Zhong.

But he then bowed and walked quickly to the emperor, saying respectfully: "Your Majesty, I did not find any trace of the boat in the general's mansion!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes after hearing this and said, "It's okay. Let's go to the storehouse and get some supplements. Bring them to Xiao Ruge when she leaves."

After saying this, he let Li Zhong go.

Now that he has other ways to seek immortality, why should he hang on this tree in the boat?

What's more, it was an old tree that refused to cooperate with him. If he hadn't cared about his reputation, he would have chopped up the old tree and used it for firewood long ago!

Li Zhong was ordered to wait for Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu on the road they had to take to leave the palace, and gave the emperor's reward to Xiao Ruge.

He smiled and said, "Your Majesty is thinking about Miss Xiao, so he specially asked me to bring these supplements back to Miss Xiao. I hope Miss Xiao will recover soon!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Ruge bowed to Li Zhong, then followed Mu Gu and left the palace with the emperor's reward.

There seemed to be no changes in the general's mansion. The previous butler had been replaced. Although his life was not taken, the butler felt guilty and finally volunteered to help Mr. Sun.

Ever since Xiao Ruge was poisoned, Old Man Sun sealed off Sun Village and hurriedly left with the elders of the Xiao family to go to another village.

Not long after they left, Sunzhuang was broken into by a group of bandits, but there was no one in the village. Finally, the bandits set fire to the village to vent their anger.

Mu Gu told Xiao Ruge about this later. After hearing it, Xiao Ruge felt fortunate that she had sensed something was wrong at the time and asked Uncle Sun and the others to move away in advance.

In the carriage, Mu Gu held Xiao Ruge in his arms and looked through the reward given by the emperor. Although there were no particularly precious medicinal herbs, they were just what Xiao Ruge needed now.

If it was when she just woke up, these herbs would definitely be useless, but now she has recovered, and it would not be good to use precious tonics.

"These medicinal herbs given by my father are just right for use. When I get back, I'll ask Pei Yun to come up with a few medicinal recipes for you!"

Seeing Mu Gu's happy expression, Xiao Ruge couldn't help but curl her lips, "I understand all this myself, why bother him? He got quite a shock in the palace today, let him be quiet for a few days!"

"You are his uncle, and it is his honor as his nephew to take care of him!"

Seeing that what he said was a matter of course, Xiao Ruge just smiled and said nothing. She found a comfortable position in his arms, closed her eyes and rested.

Mu Gu steadied his arms and looked at the pale-faced woman in his arms. Even though he knew that this was the perfume powder she had applied specially before going out in the morning, he still felt distressed.

At this moment, he felt so sorry for Xiao Ruge that he hated Mu Bo.

He felt that it was enough to allow Mu Bo to live happily for so long, and he would start his plan next.

He took out a stack of white paper and a charcoal pencil from the secret compartment, quickly wrote something on the paper, then knocked lightly on the car window, and Mo Yi immediately came to the window.

"Your Majesty."

Mu Gu handed the note over and said softly, "Send it to the northwest."

Mo Yi responded and left. The carriage continued to move towards the general's mansion. When they returned to the general's mansion, Xiao Ruge was already fast asleep.

Mu Gu covered her head with his cloak, carried her down from the carriage steadily, and returned to the yard.

Xiao Ruge slept very deeply, and when she woke up, it was already dusk.

Looking at the small flames dancing on the table, Xiao Ruge blinked, and took a while to come back to her senses.

"Angelica dahurica."

Bai Zhi was guarding outside the door. When she heard Xiao Ruge calling her, she immediately pushed the door open and walked in.

"Miss, are you awake? The prince has gone to take care of something in the small study. Do you want me to go and call the prince over?"

Bai Zhi hung up the bed curtains, poured a cup of warm water for Xiao Ruge, and then helped her get up and dress.

Because it was late, she didn't have her hair done up in a complicated bun; her long hair was simply tied back with a ribbon.

Xiao Ruge shook her head, "No, I'm hungry, go get me something to eat."

"The prince ordered people to make chicken soup with ginseng for the young lady. There is also fish porridge on the stove. The prince also ordered people to make small dumplings with mutton filling. Does the young lady want to eat anything else?"

"Just have someone make two cold dishes."

Bai Zhi agreed and asked Xiao Shuang to go to the kitchen to serve the meal. At the end, she told Xiao Ruge that Mu Gu had not eaten dinner either. Finally, she got Xiao Ruge's instructions and went to the study to call Mu Gu back for dinner.

At the dinner table, Xiao Ruge picked up a small bun for Mu Gu and asked in a somewhat annoyed tone, "Why don't you have dinner so late? You are already grown up, and you still need others to worry about you!"

"Without you, nothing tastes good!"

Mu Gu showed his white teeth and stuffed the bun into his mouth.

Xiao Ruge shook her head helplessly and took a sip of the fish porridge, which was really fresh and fragrant.

While eating, Mu Gu confessed something to Xiao Ruge.

"I sent people to the northwest to cause trouble for Mu Bo."

After hearing this, Xiao Ruge looked at him and asked, "Are you planning to use Feng Ziqing?"

"When I sent the message to the northwest before, I asked Mo Wu to take people to the northwest. Feng Ziqing is still very useful, and it is not yet time to activate him."
