"No."

"Okay." Helian Yu frowned and patted his head. When he was about to say something, Xie Rangchen grabbed his wrist.

Helian Yu didn't care. She asked doubtfully, "I don't seem to remember anything after taking the medicine. Did something happen?"

"Yes, the medicine was tampered with." Xie Rangchen released Helianyu's wrist, poured her a cup of warm water, and handed it to her, "The poison has been neutralized."

"What kind of poison?" Helian Yu tilted his head, "But I'm obviously immune to all poisons."

She has taken the Immunity Pill, so she shouldn't be poisoned.

"Master, I have eaten——"

"Chestnut powder." Xie Rangchen interrupted Helianyu, "You are allergic to chestnut powder. Don't eat chestnut products in the future."

Helian Yu was even more confused, "I didn't..."

"Xiao Yu'er has woken up. I asked Xingchun Cidong to come in and serve her. I have something to tell them. I have something important to discuss with the Imperial Master, so I won't stay any longer." Helian Su interrupted Helian Yu.

Helian Yu was confused. She drank a bowl of medicine and when she woke up, she felt that everyone had a secret. What was going on?

Xingchun Cidong came in and helped Helian Yu take a bath in the small hot spring.

Xiaotangquan is next to Fengyang Pavilion. It is a connected building and belongs exclusively to Fengyang Pavilion. There is a door in the middle that can also be opened independently.

Entering the hall, you will see the water in the pool in the center sparkling and swaying, with golden light floating on the surface of the pool and rose petals swimming freely in the golden light.

As you get closer, you can see that the bottom of the pool is covered with a layer of gold leaves. The entire pool is made of white jade, which is extraordinarily luxurious.

There were twelve palace maids serving by the hot spring, each wearing a light pink and blue coat. The room was steaming hot, but quite warm.

Helian Yu was impressed by the luxury and grandeur of the palace, and was stripped naked by Xingchun and Cidong and sent to the hot spring. Twelve serving palace maids surrounded him with smiles, offering cakes, soups and the like on trays in their hands.

Imperial study.

"The Imperial Master is so bold and vicious, I really admire him." Helian Su lifted his robe and sat down, glaring and frowning.

Xie Rangchen was wearing a fluttering red robe with golden patterns on it, which reflected the bright candlelight. There was no trace of guilt on his otherworldly face.

"How sincere is your Majesty to Yu'er?"

Helian Su raised his cold eyes slightly and looked at Xie Rangchen, "Xiao Yu'er is my daughter, so I naturally dote on her."

"The palace is full of twists and turns. She doesn't like to fight, so she's not suitable for palace fighting." Xie Rangchen said calmly, "The medicine contains non-toxic sleeping powder. No trace of the medicine residue is left, and it can't be found by pulse diagnosis. She is not allergic to chestnut powder, but she doesn't like chestnut cakes and powder. But she eats whole chestnuts."

"Master, you are deceiving the emperor!" Helian Su was furious, "I can kill you!"

"You won't."

Xie Rangchen just stood there, like a banished immortal, and no one dared to defile his holiness with a speck of dust.

"I am the emperor."

"I know."

Helian Su was choked: "..."

The master and the apprentice are really alike, both look dead! They are both sure that he won't kill them!

"Master, you schemed against my princess, slandered my concubines, and brought chaos to the palace. Why can't I execute you?"

Helian Su saw that Xie Rangchen was young and had the character of a powerful official and the appearance of a banished immortal. If he were not an imperial teacher and took the path of imperial examination, he would surely be able to stir up the turmoil of the previous dynasty and leave his name in history books.

"Daxia will fall, and Zhaoyang will be the successor." Xie Rangchen lowered his eyes, his face still cold, making it impossible to tell what he was really thinking, "Your Majesty knows it clearly."

Helian Su narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of coldness suddenly flashed in his narrow eyes.

Xie Rangchen faced him head-on and was not at all inferior.

"National Master, I have never believed in ghosts and gods, and I have always disdained the likes of National Master."

Xie Rangchen nodded slightly, "It's an honor for us."

The night is cold and the lingering winter is unforgiving.

"Well, it's so comfortable to take a bath in the hot spring~"

Helian Yu was wrapped in a thick robe, wearing a pair of fine velvet silk cotton-filled clogs with peony patterns, and returned to Fengyang Pavilion with the help of Xingchun and Cidong.

When we returned to Fengyang Pavilion, there was already a table of exquisite cakes and side dishes on the table, as well as a bowl of blue medicine.

Helian Yu's face instantly fell, and she turned around and ran out. After running two steps, she remembered -

This is her territory! Without Helian Su and Master, who can force her to drink the medicine?

Helian Yu turned around again, which really tired Xingchun and Cidong. They were afraid that Helian Yu would run away. If His Majesty knew about it, everyone in Fengyang Pavilion would be punished.

"Your Highness, this is the medicine sent by the Imperial Master. You are advised to drink it before 11:00 tonight. If you do not drink it or delay, the Imperial Master will not let Lord Chang Zuo come to pick you up from the palace tomorrow." Chang An spoke in such detail that Helian Yu could not refute it.

Helian Yu curled his lips and sat at the table angrily. He first ate two pieces of nine-layer cake and a piece of silver thread pastry, and then his eyes fell on the blue soup.

"They just make ugly and unpalatable medicines!"

Chang'an, Xingchun, Cidong and other servants lowered their eyes.

Helian Yu is a princess and a disciple of the imperial teacher. She has the right to complain, but they cannot take her words to heart. Once they hear them, they will forget them.

Helian Yu was ready to face death. He picked up the bowl of medicine and gulped it down in one gulp. As soon as he threw the bowl down, he stuffed a large piece of silver thread crisp into his mouth. He choked and rolled his eyes.

Xingchun's pupils shrank sharply, and he quickly pulled the silver silk pastry out of her mouth and fed her half a cup of warm water, "Your Highness, please go slowly."

"It's bitter." Helian Yu wrinkled his face and waved his hand at Xingchun, "Don't worry, I'm lucky and won't choke to death. Don't be so scared. I'm not a porcelain doll."

"Your Highness, I can make honey and winter melon candy, which can help to relieve the bitter taste. Will I make some for you tomorrow?"

Helian Yu's dark eyes sparkled, "Xingchun you are amazing! You can actually make candy!"

Xingchun blushed slightly, "My family is poor. When I was young, I followed the old man in the village to do some work to supplement the family income. It is Xingchun's honor to be able to relieve the bitterness of His Highness."

"Your Highness, I can also make some dried fruit snacks." Ci Dong followed up with a sentence.

"You are all so amazing." Helian Yu sat on the chair, swinging his legs, "Master said that having a skill is worse than having a thousand acres of fertile land."

This was the first time that Xingchun and Cidong had their abilities recognized by their master. They felt so light-hearted after being praised by Helian Yu that they wished they could hang up the sun tomorrow and make nectar, winter melon candy and dried fruits for Helian Yu.

"It's time to go to bed. Chang'an, you can go back. Xingchun and Cidong will stay with me."

Chang An reminded him at the right time, "Your Highness, the Imperial Master has told you to do a set of Five Animal Exercises before you can go to bed."

Helian Yu forced a stiff smile: "Chang'an, aren't you sleepy?"

It's time to go to sleep. Why are you staring at her? It's embarrassing to do the Five Animals Exercises in public!

"I'm not sleepy. The Imperial Master told me to watch you finish the work."

Helian Yu was so angry that her teeth were grinding. She smiled grimly and waved at Chang An, "Go and call everyone in Fengyang Pavilion in and change into light clothes. I'm in a good mood and will teach you the Five Animal Exercises to strengthen your body."

Chang An was silent, then responded, "Yes."

Helian Yu looked at Xingchun and Cidong, and waved at them with a smile, "Go and prepare ten taels of silver."

A quarter of an hour later, thirty-three people were standing in the outer hall of Fengyang Pavilion.

Helian Yu changed into a light corset and walked out leisurely, holding an embroidered purse worth ten taels in her hand.
