Chapter 454: The Wife-Indulging Devil King x The Useless Third Miss 23

Xiao Chengyang raised his head, eyes full of innocence, "I really had no idea, father, I was also deceived by her."

The emperor waved his hands, suppressed the coldness in his eyes and said, "Forget it, you are my son. Since you don't know, I won't really do anything to you."

"Just ground him for one month."

Xiao Chengyang did not expect that the emperor would punish him so lightly. It seemed that his father still loved him.

There is a small wooden house in the valley of Qingyan Mountain. The woman who was taken away by the third prince is now lying on the bed. A middle-aged man is sitting beside the bed. He looks gentle and handsome. This man is Yue Jiao, the senior alchemist who has been missing for more than ten years.

The third prince was looking at the woman with worry as she took the pill but was still not awake.

"Master, when will your wife wake up?"

Yue Jiao gently stroked the woman's forehead and said softly, "Zhi'er, your master's wife has been in a coma for more than ten years. Thanks to the Dingling Pill, your master's wife's body has been stabilized."

"Master has given your master's wife some medicine, but it will still take some time for her to wake up."

The third prince Liu Zhi pursed his lips, thought for a moment and said, "Master, Emperor Tianwu strangled Wen Qingqing this morning."

Yue Jiao still looked as gentle as jade, but the words she spoke were very cruel.

"Anyone who bullied my daughter will die sooner or later."

Liu Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Master...Jin'er..."

Speaking of Aunt Qiao, Yue Jiao finally turned around and asked, "What happened to my daughter?"

"She..." Liu Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "Jin'er asked Emperor Tianwu for the Ten Thousand Year Lotus and the Thousand Year Blood Ganoderma, saying that she wanted to make a rejuvenation pill for the emperor."

"Oh?" Yue Jiao thought of something and laughed out loud in surprise, "Hahaha, you are worthy of being my Yue Jiao's daughter. You are already a high-level alchemist."

"But my aunt took the opportunity to steal a thousand-year-old blood ganoderma from Emperor Tianwu. She is so naughty."

"That dog emperor is lucky, let him live longer"

Liu Zhi also revealed a faint smile. "Jin'er is more powerful than me. She is already a high-level pharmacist at such a young age. I was also shocked when I first knew about it."

"But Master, my aunt is going to marry that ghost king in a few days, won't you stop her?"

Yue Jiao said with a face full of guilt, "It was also because of my incompetence as a father that it took me more than ten years to find my woman and daughter, causing them to suffer for so many years."

"If Jin'er really likes that Ghost King, no matter how powerful he is, I will support her."

"Zhi'er, I want to meet Jin'er when I get a chance."

"The Duke's Mansion should be resolved. As for how to resolve it, we will ask Jin'er first. We must let her vent her anger."

After returning to the Ghost King's Mansion and studying for a while, Qiao Jinjin began to prepare the rejuvenation pill. She handed the thousand-year-old blood ganoderma to Xiao Mohan and said, "My Lord, you must keep this well. It will be useful in the future."

Xiao Mohan took the box in confusion, and after a while he reacted, and said lovingly, "It turns out that Auntie has used this to trick my father, you clever little ghost."

"You make the medicine, and I will prepare some food for you."

"Don't," Aunt Qiao stopped him quickly, "It will probably take all night, so please prepare breakfast for me, Your Majesty."

The ingredients for the rejuvenation pill were not complicated, but refining the pill required a lot of Xuan Qi. By tomorrow morning, her Xuan Qi would be almost depleted, so she would have to have a big meal to replenish it.

The aroma of medicine wafted continuously from the pharmacy throughout the entire night, and it was not until dawn that Aunt Qiao opened the door and walked out.

"Princess, are you ready?"

As soon as Aunt Qiao went out, she saw Hong Tao waiting at the door.

She shook the porcelain bottle in her hand and said, "Yes, it's done. I'm starving. Hong Tao, let's go have dinner quickly. We still have to go back to the palace after dinner."

Hong Tao said with both heartache and amusement, "Yes, yes, yes, the prince has already prepared a large table of food, and is just waiting for you, the princess, to finish refining the medicine and have dinner."

The emperor was eagerly waiting for Aunt Qiao's rejuvenation elixir. Just after the morning court session, he heard the news that Xiao Mohan and Aunt Qiao wanted to see him.

"Why don't you invite the Ghost King and his wife over here?"

The emperor waited in Qiankun Palace. In just one night, the wrinkles on his face increased significantly.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."

The emperor now put on a kind look and said, "Hurry up and get up. How is the rejuvenation pill going?"

The rejuvenation pills were kept by Xiao Mohan. There were more than ten rejuvenation pills, but Xiao Mohan only took one.

Xiao Mohan personally delivered the rejuvenation pill to the emperor.

The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at it. The pill was brown in color and had a strong medicinal fragrance. He knew it was a good thing just by the smell.

The emperor swallowed the pill without hesitation. As the pill melted in his mouth, he felt warm all over, and then his body felt relaxed.

"Why didn't my hair grow back? Why is it still white?"

The corners of Qiao Jinjin's mouth twitched slightly. What did she think this was? It couldn't work so quickly.

"Your Majesty, the effect of this elixir is not that fast, but now that the emperor has stopped aging, it will take at least a few months for his hair to grow back."

The emperor was relieved to hear that aging could be stopped. As long as his hair can grow back, the better.

"Daughter-in-law, the Duke's Mansion is your mother's family, but Wen Qingqing made a mistake and I have to punish the Duke's Mansion. Do you have any opinions?"

The reason why the emperor did not deal with the Duke's Mansion yesterday was that he wanted to see if Aunt Qiao could save him. If she saved him, he could listen to Aunt Qiao's advice. If she couldn't save him, there was no need to keep the Duke's Mansion.

Jinjin Qiao had no objection to punishing the Duke's Mansion. They were enemies after all. But if she said it directly, it would seem that she was cold and heartless, which would definitely give people something to talk about.

"The Emperor has the final say on how to deal with this matter."

The emperor was very satisfied with Aunt Qiao's answer and felt very satisfied. "Okay, but I will still spare the lives of the people in the Duke's Mansion for your sake."

"I'll just demote him to a commoner and put his property into the state treasury. Do you have any opinion?"

How could he have any opinion? To be honest, perhaps Duke Wen would rather be sentenced to death. Being demoted to a commoner and having no money, it would be better for him to just die.

"I have no opinion, but can I still marry the prince with my status as a servant?"

The emperor paused with a smile, and said, "I have neglected this. Then I will wait for you to become Princess Qianmin. I will grant you a mansion. That will be great. You will have status and position."

Only then was Aunt Qiao satisfied. She turned to look at Xiao Mohan who had been silent the whole time and said, "My Lord, I will be the princess from now on."

Xiao Mohan smiled helplessly. In fact, even if Jin Jin Qiao had no identity, he would only marry Jin Jin Qiao as his wife in this life.
