In the lobby on the first floor of Tianshui Garden, Chu Linglong and Chang Yuhai were waiting anxiously.
The hall was empty and no one was alone.
This emptiness made her feel more stressed, and she even felt like it was difficult to breathe.
She couldn't figure out Shao Zun's attitude. At the slightest movement, she would quickly look upstairs with an uneasy look in her eyes.
She waited and waited for two or three hours.
Upstairs, in Chu Shiyu's bedroom, Ruan Qiao was refining medicine.
Upon hearing that Chu Linglong was coming, Chu Shiyu did not go downstairs to see her immediately, but instead accompanied Ruan Qiao upstairs to make medicine.
The Ruby Fire Lotus is a precious and rare elixir, and coincidentally, there are several precious medicinal herbs among the Shennong Herbs.
Ruan Qiao took out seven of them and, together with the Red Jade Fire Lotus, refined a furnace of Eight Treasure Pills for Chu Shiyu.
The rich fragrance of elixir filled the air. Ruan Qiao looked intently into the cauldron and saw three round pills as white as jade lying inside, which looked very lovely.
"Only three?" Ruan Qiao looked disappointed.
Yidai said: "It's good enough to be able to refine three pills. Under normal circumstances, one Ruby Fire Lotus only produces one pill."
Ruan Qiao's face was serious. Is it so precious?
She felt uneasy again and asked, "Teacher, if I refine three, will it reduce the efficacy of the Ruby Fire Lotus?"
The first generation complained in his heart, "He's really taking advantage of you."
It said, "No, the medicinal properties of the Ruby Fire Lotus are completely integrated into the Eight Treasures Pill. Every Eight Treasures Pill has the medicinal properties of a Ruby Fire Lotus."
Ruan Qiao was surprised: "Isn't that equivalent to having three Ruby Fire Lotuses?"
"You can understand it that way." Yidai said.
Ruan Qiao was very happy. She picked up one and fed it to Chu Shiyu's lips.
The aroma of medicine filled his nose. Chu Shiyu opened his mouth and obediently swallowed the pill.
The three people beside him, Tianlong, Baixie, and Jinchan, were also surprised. "Miss Ruan, will the young master be immune to the poison for three years now?"
Ruan Qiao nodded: "In theory, yes."
The corners of her lips curled up, and her expression was happy. She took out two medicine bottles, put the remaining two Eight Treasure Pills into each bottle, and handed them to Chu Shiyu.
"You can eat the remaining two as candy beans." Ruan Qiao said with a smile.
Chu Shiyu took the medicine bottle and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Ruan Qiao clapped her hands and said, "Let's go, someone is waiting downstairs."
When Chu Linglong was mentioned, Chu Shiyu's expression suddenly dimmed.
The Chu family is not clean internally, which is normal. No major force is completely clean internally.
It’s just Chu Linglong…
Because of Chu Jinyu's achievements a hundred years ago, the Chu family praised him highly, gave him an important position and great power.
Considering the several major losses suffered by the Chu family over the past century, it seems that they were all caused by spies within the Chu family.
The Chu family has been investigating this spy. They have investigated wave after wave, and each time they have found a few big fish.
But Chu Linglong's lineage has never been doubted.
Until he came to Lancheng.
His arrival in Lancheng made Chu Linglong panic.
She was afraid that Chu Tingna would contact him and tell the truth about what happened that year, so she came.
downstairs.
Chu Linglong suddenly smelled a strong medicinal fragrance, and she immediately felt refreshed.
Even the fear caused by being left out for three hours faded.
Her mind cleared up and she began to think quickly about how to respond.
But she couldn't help but be curious, what kind of elixir was that medicinal fragrance she just smelled?
A gleam of greed flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
For now, she had to save her life first.
As for the elixir... she would ask Ruan Qiao later to find out if there was another powerful alchemist around Chu Shiyu.
At this moment, footsteps were heard, and Chu Linglong quickly turned her head to look upstairs.
Ruan Qiao was seen holding Chu Shiou's arm and walking down together in an intimate manner.
Behind them were Tianlong and three others.
Chu Linglong couldn't help but be secretly shocked. She never thought that Shao Zun, who was not interested in women, would allow Ruan Qiao to hold his arm without any sense of boundaries. How intimate was that?
It can be seen that Ruan Qiao is indeed favored.
She made the right bet on her treasure.
With Ruan Qiao mediating, she shouldn't be too sad about this hurdle today.
"Young Master, I am guilty!"
Chu Linglong knelt down without saying a word.
She thought Chu Shiyu would scream, but unexpectedly, Chu Shiyu didn't even look at her and just walked past her.
Chu Shiyu sat down, then looked at Chu Linglong calmly and asked, "What crime have you committed?"
Chu Linglong was stunned.
She didn't expect that Shao Zun would ask this.
Hearing that indifferent and cold voice, Chu Linglong's mind, which had just regained consciousness, became confused again with fear.
She said, "Young Master, I have only recently learned about a mistake made by my great grandfather a hundred years ago."
Her attitude was sincere and her tone was repentant.
Ruan Qiao raised an eyebrow. Is he going to admit it? What a bold move!
But soon, Ruan Qiao realized that she was overthinking.
Because next, Chu Linglong said: "I recently learned that a hundred years ago, after my great grandfather Chu Jinyu killed Ying Tianbao, he lost Ying Tianbao's Shennong Baicao Garden.
For so many years, it was actually hidden away by the traitor Chu Shaochen. He must have ulterior motives.
This time, I came to Lancheng secretly to make up for the negligence of my great-grandfather. I wanted to find the Shennong Herb Garden from Chu Tingna's house and present it to the Young Master.
Please forgive Grandfather and Linglong this time, considering that Grandfather was unaware of the incident and that I have been actively working to make amends."
Oh no!
Ruan Qiao was stunned by her distortion of right and wrong.
Chu Shiyu's eyes became even colder.
The expressions of Tianlong, Baixie and Jinchan standing aside were also very cold.
They stared at Chu Linglong as if they were looking at a dead person.
Chu Linglong was completely unaware of it, she even thought her words were perfect.
Having said this, Shao Zun must be very touched by her loyalty.
Next, Shao Zun would be very generous and forgive her, give her the wind chime, and then develop a bad feeling towards Chu Tingna, the sinner.
Once she gets the wind chime and destroys the evidence, it won’t matter even if she donates the Shennong Herb Garden to Shao Zun.
By then, you will be able to gain the young master's double trust.
Presumably, Ying's side can understand her actions!
The more she thought about it, the more proud she became. But why had the young master not spoken for so long?
She couldn't help but look up slightly towards Chu Shiyu, but happened to see the hands of Chu Shiyu and Ruan Qiao.
Ruan Qiao was wearing a familiar black jade ring on her finger.
A trace of confusion suddenly flashed across Chu Linglong's eyes. Why did that black jade ring look so similar to the Shennong Herb Garden she saw in the video footage?
But at the same time, her blood seemed to run cold, because her reason made her realize that it was Shennong's Herb Garden.
How could Shennong's Herb Garden be worn on Ruan Qiao's finger?
What about the things in Shennong’s Herb Garden?
"Master Linglong, what are you looking at?"
Noticing her gaze, Ruan Qiao asked with a faint smile.
