[Task completed, reward: 10 points.]
Fang Ruotang's face lit up with joy. "Let me see what I can get for ten points?"
With a complicated expression, Prime Minister Fang reached out and pulled Fang Ruotang out of the Crown Prince's arms.
"Sit still."
Fang Ruotang gave Prime Minister Fang a silly smile, then turned to the Crown Prince and said absentmindedly, "Sorry, I didn't hit you, did I?"
The crown prince glanced at her expressionlessly.
Fang Ruotang didn't care and happily browsed the online store. But after a few pages, she thought to herself angrily, "I can't afford any of the things I want to buy."
After saying that, Fang Ruotang tilted her head, rolled her eyes, and looked like she had eight hundred tricks up her sleeve but wasn't very smart.
Little mirror, we've only just met, and you're a product of a far more advanced civilization. Don't you have any small gift for me?
【OK! 】
Fang Ruotang was surprised; she hadn't expected Xiao Jingzi to be so generous.
Upon receiving the newbie gift pack, Fang Ruotang couldn't contain her excitement and stomped her feet, while the poor Crown Prince and Prime Minister Fang were forced to remain deaf and mute.
Wow, so many things! Thank you, little mirror, you're so kind.
[Marrow Cleansing Pill*1, Youth Preservation Pill*1, Body Strengthening Pill*1, Vitality Nourishing Pill*1, Longevity Prolonging Pill*1]
Just by hearing the names of these pills, Fang Ruotang could guess their effects.
[First, take the Nourishing Essence Pill to treat your illness, then take the Strengthening Body Pill to rebuild your muscles and bones. After that, using the Marrow Cleansing Pill to cleanse your muscles and marrow will make things easier.]
My grandmother happened to be ill, so I went back and gave her some Peiyuan Pills.
Your grandmother's condition is fine; she'll recover in a few days. Take care of yourself first; don't overwork yourself.
Fang Ruotang grinned at herself in the small mirror, her eyes darting around, her every cunning thought written all over her face.
She discovered that although the little mirror forced her to seduce men, it wasn't harsh; in fact, it was even somewhat kind to her.
If she takes these pills first, Little Mirror might not give them to her again for free next time. But if she gives them to her family, she thinks Little Mirror will most likely give them to her again.
[Is one Longevity Pill supposed to extend one's life by ten years? Could you give me a few more? I want to share them with my grandparents and maternal grandparents. There are quite a few people in my family, and one isn't enough.]
Little Mirror: ...
Fang Ruotang mentally tapped the small mirror.
Seeing that he ignored her, she didn't lose heart and thought about how to coax him into giving her some nice things later.
"Alright! Then I'll give this longevity pill to Grandfather first. Could I give the marrow cleansing pill to my eldest brother? He's a high-ranking official in the Imperial Guard, skilled in martial arts; his body should be able to withstand the pain of marrow cleansing."
Although the prime minister was a civil official, his eldest grandson took the path of a military officer. There has always been a divide between civil and military officials, but his eldest sister-in-law was the daughter of a military officer.
Fang Ruotang muttered to herself the whole way, carefully arranging the few pills. The Prime Minister felt both proud and distressed, as well as embarrassed and awkward.
After all, the Crown Prince was riding in the same carriage as them, and he heard Fang Ruotang's little scheme clearly. Putting aside other elixirs, which minister wouldn't eagerly present such a good thing as a longevity elixir to the Emperor?
Prime Minister Fang was truly afraid that the Emperor would be furious if he found out about this.
Upon arriving at the Prime Minister's residence, Fang Ruotang grabbed Prime Minister Fang and pulled him aside.
Prime Minister Fang's eyebrows twitched, fearing that his naive granddaughter would take out a longevity pill and make him take it. He glanced at the Crown Prince with a guilty conscience.
“Grandfather, I suddenly heard divine teachings on the carriage back to the manor. The gods have chosen me to be a celestial messenger in the mortal realm.”
Prime Minister Fang: ...
I treat you like my granddaughter, and you treat me like a fool?
Do you think I wouldn't know if any divine intervention happened on your way here?
Prime Minister Fang gave Fang Ruotang a complicated look, then pinched his nose and played along with her in this flawed act.
"The deity told me about Wugu County and gave me two magical treasures, a transmission talisman and a teleportation talisman, and told me to give them to you. The deity said to just use them directly, and you can study the details yourself!"
After saying that, Fang Ruotang patted her butt and left.
Prime Minister Fang was speechless, and didn't even have a chance to ask a few more questions.
Although the sky was filled with colorful clouds and birdsong when this granddaughter was born, it was quite a struggle before she was born. She was diagnosed with a heart condition at birth. When she was six or seven years old, her family noticed that she was a little more innocent than other children. So over the years, he, his second son, and his second daughter-in-law never forced her to learn anything. They only hoped that she would be healthy and happy.
But to everyone's surprise, everything changed overnight. The future of the entire Dayong Dynasty and even humanity rested on her shoulders, which made Prime Minister Fang very worried.
Prime Minister Fang's emotions came and went quickly. He turned around, handed the things to the Crown Prince, and the two of them hurriedly left the Prime Minister's residence and entered the palace again by carriage.
Several high-ranking officials from the court are all gathered in the council hall.
Before their arrival, disaster relief officials had been assigned to collect supplies.
Although it was the first time the Emperor had seen a communication talisman and a teleportation talisman, he was not overly alarmed. With his ministers as witnesses, he personally wrote an imperial edict, placed the edict and the communication talisman on the teleportation talisman, and the item disappeared.
Although the magistrate of Wugu County was so frightened afterward that he drank a pot of calming tea, he was now like a puppet, obediently carrying out the emperor's orders without daring to ask a single question.
The matter in Wugu County was temporarily settled. At this time, the people who searched the Ministry of Revenue's residence also reported that a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and official silver had been found in the Ministry of Revenue's residence.
With irrefutable evidence, the Emperor immediately sentenced the Minister of Revenue and his entire family to be executed, and ordered the Crown Prince to thoroughly investigate the case, with all officials found guilty of corruption and bribery to be severely punished.
After discussing state affairs, the Emperor suddenly asked, "Minister Fang, what do you think of the Crown Prince?"
Prime Minister Fang's heart sank, and he was somewhat displeased, but he dared not show it on his face. However, he bluntly reminded her: "The Crown Prince is of course excellent. Miss Li is intelligent, quick-witted, dignified, and virtuous. She is a perfect match for the Crown Prince."
The Li family has been a prominent clan for hundreds of years, producing several high-ranking officials and literary giants, holding a significant position in the hearts of scholars. The Li family's daughter has long been betrothed to the Crown Prince, awaiting only the auspicious day for their wedding.
Although his family was not as well-established as the Li family, he had never thought of marrying Xiao Liu off before, and now it was even more impossible for him to let her, who possessed divine power, become a concubine in the Eastern Palace.
The Emperor raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression remaining unchanged, as if it had just been a casual remark, before moving on to other matters concerning the court.
The Crown Prince, however, seemed to be deep in thought, turning the jade thumb ring in his hand as if he were pondering something.
On the other side, Fang Ruotang went directly to Rongshou Hall to give her grandmother the Peiyuan Pill, and then couldn't wait to return to the small courtyard to watch the video.
The little mirror was unhappy that she gave the pills to her grandmother, and urged her to do tasks to earn points to exchange for rewards.
She didn't believe what the little mirror said, but the little mirror actually said it could let her see their past lives.
She certainly couldn't miss such a good opportunity.
