Sure enough, the eldest prince's eyes lit up after hearing Leng Yue's words. It seems that he is also interested in immortality!
After realizing what was happening, he asked Leng Yue, "If it's a secret, then why did you tell me?
You're not lying to me, are you?"
Leng Yue thought that she was not too stupid. It seemed that she had to use a little trick to deceive this pig.
"There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Since I know about this, there must be others who know about it. It's not easy for your royal family to get some information. You know it's a matter of time. I might as well tell you now. It can be regarded as a favor to you and make you feel that the money you spent was worth it."
As expected, the eldest prince believed most of it after he was told this compliment.
Leng Yue decided to strike while the iron was hot and take a drastic measure to put an end to this matter.
Said to the eldest prince: "Aren't you curious about who told me this?"
The eldest prince was just about to ask this, but when he heard Leng Yue say this, he nodded decisively. He no longer cared about being afraid and deliberately moved closer to Leng Yue.
Huo Jingxuan was so angry that he raised his foot to kick him again, but Leng Yue stopped him with a look, saying, "Don't delay my important business."
His wife wouldn't let him, so Huo Jingxuan had no choice but to wait behind with his fists clenched. He couldn't escape the beating anyway, so he had plenty of patience to wait.
Not only the eldest prince was curious, but even the secret guards were curious as well. How come they had never heard the lady mention such a big thing?
Only Huo Jingxuan knew Leng Yue better, and he knew she was fooling people, but he didn't know what her purpose was.
But looking at his excited look, it's obvious that it's been planned for a long time, and it's a big trap, just waiting for the eldest prince, that pig, to fall into it!
The whole place was silent, everyone pricked up their ears to listen to the sequel, then Leng Yue said: "Master Liaochen, do you know?"
The eldest prince was shocked, "Master Liaochen?
I know, I know. He is known as a know-it-all. It is said that there is nothing in the world that he doesn't know! "
Leng Yue clapped her hands and thought, "It's good that you want to know. I'm just worried that you don't know, then how can I make up the story later?"
“That’s what Master Liaochen told us.
Husband, isn't that right? You were there at the time."
Huo Jingxuan, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, was also dragged into the fun. Looking at the eldest prince's clear yet stupid eyes, Huo Jingxuan chose to nod decisively.
"Yes, I was there at the time, and Master Liaochen said that to both of us."
The eldest prince looked at the suave Huo Jingxuan with hatred. Compared with him, he seemed nothing. He deliberately stayed away from him and asked him, "Huo Laowu, why did Master Liaochen tell you such a confidential matter?"
This time Huo Jingxuan couldn't bear it anymore, so he punched the eldest prince in the nose, causing him to bleed immediately.
Now I finally feel relieved, this pig who only cares about food and not about beatings.
"Are you stupid? Use your pig brain and think carefully. Master Liaochen is my senior brother. He didn't tell me about this first, so why would he tell you, a pig, first?"
After he said this, the eldest prince remembered that this was indeed the case.
If Huo Laowu didn't have a good master and a good senior brother, his soul would have returned to the underworld long ago and reunited with his family. How could he still be showing off in front of him?
The eldest prince wiped the blood from his nose with his sleeve and asked the last question in his heart, "Old Five Huo, you told me such a confidential matter. Aren't you afraid that I will take the elixir of immortality? Are you so kind?"
Huo Jingxuan put his hands behind his back, straightened his back, and said, "I'm so young, I don't need that thing right now!
Besides, look, I only have a few people under my command, and it’s unrealistic to conquer an island.
If you have the ability, you can go. Besides, I am not interested in this. I am tired of the intrigues in the court and the fighting in the underworld. I just want to find a safe place and live a simple life with a wife and children. "
Old Tang, Old Qi and the secret guards in the back were about to vomit after listening to what they heard. This master and his wife were truly a couple. They lied without even thinking beforehand and just blurted out the lies.
If they were not participants, I would have almost believed their lies.
Not to mention the eldest prince, that pig. That big liar couple probably sold him out, but he still has to help them count the money. It's really disgusting.
As expected, the eldest prince believed it, and was extremely happy. He thought he had made a fortune. Not only did he ascend the throne smoothly, but he also mastered the secret of the elixir of life. From now on, the world would belong to him for generations to come!
I can’t wait to say: “Deal!
Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. You cannot add any more conditions to the ones you mentioned before!"
Therefore, the eldest prince personally issued an order to send everything in the palace that Leng Yue liked to her, and he did it as quickly as possible, for fear that if there was any delay, Leng Yue would regret it.
He also handed over the eldest prince's storehouse, his own treasury, and two private treasuries of his father that he knew of.
Another imperial decree was issued, requiring all the existing grain in the palace and this year's reserve grain to be handed over.
Leng Yue has collected a lot of beautiful things. It’s great not to have to run around to choose and choose.
The concubines in the palace and the dozens of beauties in the eldest prince's house were crying their hearts out. They were thrown back to the time before liberation. They had never lived in such poverty since they were born.
They all came to cry to the eldest prince, but he ruthlessly drove them all away.
"It's a great day, but you are all howling in mourning. Get out, get out!"
Just the word "I" is enough. Those who can get to this position are not fools. When they heard that the eldest prince was going to do something, they stood up.
Why are you crying? Better days are ahead!
No matter whether they were his women or the dog emperor's concubines, their attitudes changed drastically immediately. They threw auspicious words out without paying, and they were praising the eldest prince so much that they didn't know what to do.
Leng Yue secretly cursed them for being a bunch of fools!
Huo Jingxuan suddenly asked Leng Yue, "Wife, what about Penglai Fairy Island and immortality? You lied to him, didn't you?"
"Why do you think so?" Leng Yue asked back.
"Originally, immortality is just a legend. It's not certain whether it exists or not. But you have never even seen my senior brother Master Liaochen. How can he tell you the secret?"
Leng Yue smiled, a frank smile, without any guilt, "Don't worry about it, I must have my reasons for doing this, and this is a matter of national justice. If it is accomplished, I will be a national hero, and I deserve to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"
She said so, and it was the first time she told him something so formally and seriously. Huo Jingxuan chose to respect Leng Yue.
This matter is over, but Leng Yue has one thing to ask Huo Jingxuan, "You really don't deserve to be the emperor now. Do you have to go into exile and then find a legitimate opportunity to come back?"
Huo Jingxuan nodded. "Now is not the right time. It may cause chaos in the world. By then, the people will suffer and be miserable. That is not what I want."
Leng Yue quickly stretched out her hand to signal him to stop, "Alright, I get it, you should keep those great principles for yourself, don't nag me, I find it annoying!"
Then he threw the jade seal aside with a snap, "Since you don't want to be the boss, there's no point in keeping it."
Then he took out two more boxes and said, "Take a look at these two things. Do you think they can be used?
If it’s useful, I’ll keep it. If it’s useless, I’ll throw it away.”
Huo Jingxuan opened the box and saw that it was actually a tiger talisman for mobilizing troops. He immediately put it in his arms.
Now he couldn't wait to hug Leng Yue and give her a couple of kisses. This was definitely her little lucky star!
