He pinched his swollen brows and said, "Carry it back to the bedroom first. I will eat it later."

"Yes." Eunuch Fu stepped out and ordered two young eunuchs to carry a box of elixirs to Emperor Jingxuan's bedroom.

The five tigers landed on the roof with flying eaves, looked around, flew in and pecked at the box. After pecking for a long time, they failed to wake up the little tiger in the box, so they flapped their wings and flew back to the Imperial Observatory.

Dahu and Erhu had already climbed up to the observatory. Since Xiaohu was not there, both of them felt uncomfortable shaking their heads.

"Why hasn't Xiaohu come up yet?" Erhu asked.

"He's lazy." Da Hu said, "He must have been lying down somewhere again."

Having a lazy brother is really tiring.

"I'm going to find Xiaohu, do you want to come?" asked Dahu.

Erhu thought for a moment and said, "Go."

Even though the three brothers quarreled, their relationship was still pretty good. After all, they had been the closest people in the world since they were in their mother's womb and had never really been separated. They would not be used to the absence of any one of them.

So the two people who had finally climbed up walked down again panting.

However, what confused the two was that there was no sign of Xiaohu below.

Erhu looked everywhere: "Where is Xiaohu?"

They asked the people in the observatory, but no one had seen Xiaohu.

They returned to the courtyard where Qin Canglan was recuperating, but Xiaohu had not returned either.

"Is he hiding?" Qin Canglan asked.

Erhu ran outside and shouted, "Xiaohu, stop hiding and come out!"

Da Hu also shouted: "We will take you to play!"

No response.

The adults in the family gradually realized that something was wrong.

"I'll go look for it." Su Mo said.

"Where are the Five Tigers?" Su Xiaoxiao asked Dahu and Erhu.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Five Tigers flew back.

Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly asked: "Wuhu, where is Xiaohu?"

The Five Tigers and Little Tiger played the most.

The five tigers spread their wings and shouted, "Your Majesty, the elixir has arrived! Your Majesty, the elixir has arrived! Your Majesty, the elixir has arrived!"

Emperor Jingxuan’s elixir…Xiaohu entered the palace?

Su Mo said thoughtfully, "Today, the Imperial Observatory did send a box of elixirs to the palace, which was sent from the Zhaixing Tower."

It’s over, Xiaohu must have climbed into the box.

This isn't the first time he's been so naughty.

Last time he was playing hide-and-seek, he hid directly under the stove. When Su Cheng went to light the fire, a child jumped out and almost scared him to death! Su Xiaoxiao clenched Xiaopang's fist.

She thought that he should not be called Su Xiaohu anymore, but Pipihu instead.

"I'm going to the palace!"

Su Xiaoxiao wrote this.

"I'll take you there." Su Mo said.

Wei Liulang said he wanted to go too.

"You stay with Da Hu and Er Hu."

The three of them have never been separated. Now that the younger brother is missing, the two little tigers must be very anxious.

Wei Liulang finally decided to stay.

Qin Canglan frowned and asked someone to pull Sikong Yun out of the bed.

Si Kongyun looked grumpy as if he had just woken up: "I haven't slept all night, you better have something important to tell me!"

Qin Canglan said: "Xiaohu has entered the palace."

Sikong Yun yawned: "It's in once it's in..."

Qin Canglan said with a complicated expression: "He is the grandson of King Nanyang."

Sikong Yun woke up in a second! After Su Xiaoxiao entered the palace, she went straight to Yongshou Palace.

The Queen Mother asked indifferently, "Why are you here so early today?"

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "I have something to say to the Queen Mother alone."

She was rarely so serious. The Queen Mother winked at Eunuch Cheng, who took the palace maids out and stood guard at the door herself.

Su Xiaoxiao went straight to the point: "Xiao Hu has entered the palace."

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up.

Su Xiaoxiao added: "Maybe he was sent to His Majesty's palace."

The Queen Mother's expression froze.

Su Xiaoxiao told the empress dowager what had happened, and her heart instantly rose to her throat.

The three brothers' eyes and brows are very similar to those of King Nanyang. If Emperor Jingxuan doubts the origins of the three children, the three children will be in danger.

When the empress dowager thought that the three little guys who had finally survived might be exposed, she could no longer care about anything else and immediately asked Eunuch Cheng to prepare a sedan chair to go to Emperor Jingxuan's bedroom.

"Mother?"

Emperor Jingxuan had just returned from the imperial study after reviewing memorials when he ran into the empress dowager at the door. He was extremely surprised.

"Are you... coming here to see your son?"

He asked somewhat uncertainly.

The Queen Mother said calmly, "Why? Can't watch?"

Emperor Jingxuan said hurriedly, "How could it be? I'm very happy for my mother to come and see me. I'm just too surprised."

The mother and son had been in a cold war for many years, and the Queen Mother's relationship with him had eased a little a while ago, but it was only so that she could go to the temple to commemorate King Nanyang.

The mother and son entered the bedroom.

The maids served tea.

The Queen Mother's eyes were fixed on the large box opposite, which looked like it had just been moved in.

She asked calmly, "What is that?"

"The elixir was sent by the Imperial Observatory." Emperor Jingxuan did not hide it.

The Queen Mother slapped the table and said, "How foolish! How can you indulge in alchemy at such a young age? Have you forgotten how the late emperor passed away?"

Emperor Jingxuan said: "The late emperor is seriously ill..."

The Queen Mother interrupted him coldly: "He took those so-called immortality pills!"

Emperor Jingxuan explained: "Mother, these are just pills for strengthening the body, not pills for immortality..."

The Queen Mother said domineeringly, "I don't care! I will obey you on other matters, but this matter is not negotiable! Someone, bring the elixir out and burn it! Move it away from me and burn it!"

"yes!"

Eunuch Cheng came in and was about to carry the pills out.

Suddenly, a young eunuch reported: "Your Majesty, Sikong Jianzheng has arrived. He said that the pills delivered this morning were wrong, and he personally brought new pills."

Emperor Jingxuan frowned and said, "Let him in."

Sikong Yun entered and saw the Queen Mother was there. He was surprised and bowed, "Your Majesty, I greet you, the Queen Mother."

Emperor Jingxuan asked Sikong Yun: "Did you get the wrong elixir?"

Sikong Yun bowed and said, "Yes, this box of pills is for me to test, and the box at the door is specially made for Your Majesty."

Emperor Jingxuan looked at the Queen Mother and asked, "Do you want to burn more?"

The Queen Mother looked at Sikong Yun deeply and coughed softly: "In this case, return it to the Supervisor."

Sikong Yun ordered his disciples to carry out a box of pills.

Just as he reached the door, Emperor Jingxuan suddenly said, "Wait."

Sikong Yun and the Queen Mother paused.

Emperor Jingxuan stood up and walked over slowly: "Open it and let me take a look."

Sikong Yun and the Queen Mother's expressions changed.

The disciple of the Imperial Observatory put the big box on the ground and turned to look at Sikong Yun.

"Master, do you want to open it?"

Sikong Yun closed his eyes.

His Majesty has already spoken, can he refuse?

Emperor Jingxuan couldn’t actually explain it, he just felt that there was something strange in the box.

"Didn't you hear me? I said, open it!"

The disciples looked at each other.

Eunuch Fu was confused. Why couldn't he get along with the box?

Stopping him would only arouse Emperor Jingxuan's suspicion, making him even more curious about what was inside.

But I can’t stop it——

The Queen Mother decided to pretend to faint.

She held her forehead and was about to show off her palace fighting skills that she hadn't used for more than ten years, but unexpectedly, Eunuch Quan rushed over and opened the box! The Queen Mother was really about to faint.

Sikong Yun's breathing also choked.

Emperor Jingxuan stared at the extra... thing in the box without blinking, raised his hand and picked it up: "Bronze gong?"

Sikong Yun was stunned.

He strode forward and looked inside the box.

There was nothing in the box except pills, and no trace of Xiaohu.

Where is Xiaohu?
