"It's all my fault that I got you into trouble."
After leaving the Peony Hall, Song Yu relaxed, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to Chen Yin.
Seeing that she was forced to reveal the B-level potion, Song Yu felt really bad.
Chen Yin shook her head, noncommittal. "I was the one who brought you into the palace. Sooner or later, the B-level potion will be released. It won't affect you. You don't need to blame yourself."
She glanced at Song Mingyue who was waiting for Song Yu in front. "In the next few days, you should concentrate on researching B-level potions. Don't worry about getting married. As for your mother, the matter is a foregone conclusion. You can talk it over. If there are any problems that cannot be solved, you can come to me. After all, the pharmacy business still depends on your support."
Song Yu's heart was moved, his eyes filled with gratitude, "It's just that it has affected His Highness's reputation."
Chen Yin smiled, "The least valuable thing about me is my reputation, as long as you don't mind."
They also enjoy the gender bonus. For females in this world, marriage and divorce are as easy as eating and drinking. Only males will be criticized, and it is a hundred times more difficult than remarriage in modern society. Few females are willing to accept males who are marked and regard it as a shame.
Watching Chen Yin leave, Song Yu's mood was like a roller coaster. He calmed himself down and walked towards Song Mingyue.
"Mother."
He lowered his head slightly, his eyes dim.
Song Mingyue looked at the direction where Chen Yin left, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and finally sighed.
"Never mind, the Fourth Prince is not bad either. After all, you have a good place to go."
Song Yu curled his lips and said, "I have to go back to the lab to start developing B-level medicine, so I won't send you off."
"The medicine is important, go ahead."
Song Mingyue nodded with a smile, her eyes filled with relief. After he left, her smile disappeared, the corners of her mouth turned up, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.
Silly son, if you don’t remove the fire from under the cauldron, how can you let Chen Yin take the initiative to speak? A corner of the future has already been glimpsed.
…
…
For the next three months, Chen Yin stayed indoors and spent every day in the laboratory trying to crack the formula of the S-level potion. The system was terrified and sweated profusely as it watched the formula being gradually cracked.
At the same time, Class B medicine was officially launched into production, causing a sensation in both countries.
“It’s actually been developed!”
Zhao Zhixian, who was in the Yaoyue Kingdom's palace, crushed the wine glass with an ugly look on her face, and had to re-examine Chen Yin.
"Where's the Crown Princess? Why is it you?"
Footsteps were heard, and Lu Jinchao, wearing leather shoes, stepped into the hall. He frowned and looked at Zhao Zhixian who was sitting in the main seat. A hint of impatience flashed across his eyes. He glanced around and did not see Lu Chuanjun. He turned around and left without stopping.
"Jinchao!"
Zhao Zhixian stepped forward quickly, "The Crown Princess is with His Majesty. I didn't use her name to worry that you wouldn't come. You've been avoiding me since you came back. I've been waiting for you for so many years. Everyone around me has children, but I'm still alone. Jin Chao, you know how I feel about you. We've been childhood sweethearts. I can give you anything you want, even my life!"
Her eyes were full of passion and sincerity, her face was beautiful, and her red dress was like fire.
Lu Jinchao remained unmoved and sneered, "Life? Giving away things no one wants."
"So what do you want? The throne? I can help you. I've already said that I can give you everything!"
Zhao Zhixian's face froze for a moment, but she still refused to give up. She was stubborn and showed grievance. "Everyone in the country knows that I like you and am waiting for you, but you don't want to accept it. Besides me, who else in Yaoyue Country is worthy of you? If you and I join forces, what can we not get?"
She really didn't understand Lu Jinchao's thoughts. The situation was chaotic now, and the best option was for them to join forces.
Lu Jinchao remained unmoved, not even raising his eyelids. "Are you blackmailing me?"
His eyes were sharp, and his bright black eyes carried a magical power that could see into people's hearts and penetrate directly into their souls.
Zhao Zhixian was embarrassed and annoyed. Seeing that he was unmoved, she turned around and sneered: "Reject me? You are not thinking about Chen Yin, are you? Lu Jinchao, are you mistaken? She is the princess of Weixing Kingdom. The two countries are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. Are you going to betray your country?"
Lu Jinchao was full of impatience. He would do anything to achieve his goal, even if it meant fake marriage. He was not afraid of brainless idiots, even those like Chen Yin at the beginning. What he feared most was a self-righteous and venomous snake like Zhao Zhixian.
"Who are you talking to?"
Lu Jinchao sneered, his voice icy, "Is it your turn to teach me how to do things?"
Zhao Zhixian's face changed. She didn't expect that he would use his status to pressure her. She was about to say something, but Lu Jinchao had already turned and left.
The indifferent back made her heart sink to the bottom.
Turned into ridicule.
Is this your choice? If so, you do the first day, don't blame me for the fifteenth.
“Pah pah pah!”
Lu Chuanjun, wearing a black miniskirt, stood in the second-floor corridor and clapped his hands, leaning against the railing. "What a big show! Sister Zhixian, see what I said. An ungrateful male should be taught a lesson. A lesson will make him behave himself."
Zhao Zhixian's expression changed slightly and she looked at her unhappily.
Lu Chuanjun jumped down and landed calmly with a bright smile, "This Xiaoqi really takes himself seriously. He even dares to use his status as a prince to pressure you. The right solution is for you and me to cooperate."
Although Zhao Zhixian was unhappy, she could see clearly that Lu Jinchao's determination could not be shaken and time waited for no one.
"Actually, I've always preferred to cooperate with the Crown Princess. It's just that the Seventh Prince and I were childhood sweethearts, and I can't let him go. Alas, male beauty is alluring."
"Hahaha!"
Lu Chuanjun laughed and patted her shoulder: "He is blind to the value of gold and jade. He really thinks Chen Yin is a piece of cake. A scumbag from the slums is a perfect match for a bastard like him. If Chen Yin was my sister, I would play with her like a dog."
Zhao Zhixian lowered her head and smiled without saying anything, because Lu Chuanjun's sisters were all buried, and the rest were either disabled or invalid. Excluding some of those with poor paternal families, Lu Chuanjun was the only outstanding princess.
In the six months since Shan Lu Jinchao returned, two more people have died.
In the evening, the lights are bright, and the huge palace is as beautiful as a dreamland. The Yaoyue Palace is rather cool and elegant, with lotus flowers, peach trees and fairy mist in the pond, just like a fairy palace.
"Queen Mother."
Lu Jinchao, who was summoned temporarily, knelt on one knee. He had an elegant and noble temperament, and a charming and handsome face, like a noble young man from an ancient family.
The empress nodded, watching him stand up. She narrowed her eyes and took a sip of tea. "I've never asked you how you spent your year in MSI. Did anything unexpected happen?"
Lu Jin's eyelids twitched for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face. "It's common for accidents to happen during the lurking process."
"The accident I'm referring to is your body, Jin Chao. A male's purity is of paramount importance. If you lose your virginity, it will not only damage the reputation of the royal family, but no one among the nobles will want a marked male. You must explain this matter clearly."
Lu Jinchao's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "Is your Majesty doubting me? I have devoted all my efforts to the Yaoyue Kingdom. Everything I have done is so that your Majesty will look at me."
He felt a chill in his heart. He had lurked in MSI to retrieve the C-level potion for the sake of the country and the empress. It would have been fine if he had not made any contribution, but now he suddenly launched an attack. It was like he was going to put away the bow after the bird was killed.
Lu Jinchao sneered in his heart. Even though he had long seen through the royal family's ruthlessness, he still felt a chill.
