Concubine Shu immediately asked, "Who is it? Who told you to protect him at the risk of your own life?"
Thinking of Ling Xiang, Xuanyuan Qi's expression softened a lot: "When the time is right, I will bring her to see my mother."
Concubine Shu realized something and asked, "Is it Fairy Linglong?"
When Ling Xiang first met Concubine Shu, she was indeed appearing in the fake identity of Duanmu Linglong.
However, pretending to be the heir of the Medical Valley was just a temporary solution. Now, Duanmu Linglong has disappeared, and only Ling Xiang is left in the world.
"No." Xuanyuan Qi denied, "Mother, Fairy Linglong will not come to the capital again. Let's just pretend that this person has never appeared."
Concubine Shu only thought that her son said this because he was rejected by Duanmu Linglong, and she did not want to expose her son's scars: "You will recuperate here for a while, but don't damage your foundation."
"Mother, this is Jade Skin Cream. It's even better than the ones the palace sends as tribute. Please use it. If you like it, I'll buy more for you."
Concubine Shu happily accepted it and said, "Qi'er, you are so thoughtful. Go and heal your wounds."
"Your son will take his leave." Xuanyuan Qi came to the palace to treat his injuries with Concubine Shu, and turned around and entered the medicine pool.
Ling Xiang didn't expect that not long after she sent Xuanyuan Qi away, Nangong Yu actually came, and he skipped all the procedures and appeared directly in front of her.
"Your Highness the Prince of Qin?" Ling Xiang was surprised. "What are you doing here?"
Nangong Yu took out two bottles of Heart Protecting Pills: "Ling Xiang, how do you explain this?"
Ling Xiang was puzzled. She opened the two jade bottles and smelled them. At the same time, she turned on the instruments in the space to check. She soon understood Nangong Yu's purpose.
There were two bottles of heart-protecting pills, one with bloody ingredients added was given to Nangong Yu, and the other was a normal heart-protecting pill given to Gao Zhenzhen.
It seems that Nangong Yu knew that Gao Zhenzhen had lied to him?
Ling Xiang didn't know how much Nangong Yu knew, so she held up one of the bottles and said, "This is the Heart Protecting Pill I sold to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. I wonder where His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin got the other bottle from?"
Nangong Yu asked in return, "This is exactly what I want to ask you, Ling Xiang. Where did this Heart Protecting Pill come from, and why did it end up in Zhenzhen's hands?"
Ling Xiang asked curiously, "Your Majesty, you asked me about the things you brought?"
Nangong Yu looked at Ling Xiang with disdain, his expression full of oppression. "Let alone the capital, even in the entire Dajing Empire, the only one who can produce such a high-quality Heart Protecting Pill is you, Ling Xiang. Tell me, is there any other possibility that this Heart Protecting Pill came from you?"
Ling Xiang frowned, took out two heart-protecting pills again, took out a knife and cut open the two heart-protecting pills, carefully observing the veins inside.
After a while, Ling Xiang put away the knife, put the two Heart Protecting Pills back into the jade bottle and returned it to Nangong Yu:
"Your Highness, Prince Qin, although these two Heart Protecting Pills may appear similar on the surface, they were not made by the same person. If you don't believe me, you can ask an expert to verify their authenticity."
Nangong Yu didn't believe Ling Xiang's words: "One has your blood added, and the other doesn't, so there will naturally be a difference."
Ling Xiang patiently explained:
"No, the difference between these two Heart Protecting Pills lies not only in the blood, but also in the huge differences brought about by the different refining techniques, the control of the fire temperature, and the different alchemy habits. These differences may not be visible from the outside, but they can be clearly seen from the veins inside."
Nangong Yu was skeptical, so he put away the jade bottle and turned to leave: "Ling Xiang, don't let me find out that you are deceiving me."
"Goodbye, Your Highness." Ling Xiang was confident.
When she made two sets of heart-protecting pills for Nangong Yu and Gao Zhenzhen respectively, she kept a backup plan. The heart-protecting pill for Gao Zhenzhen was made by her teaching He Sheng.
After Nangong Yu returned, he immediately used all his strength to look for the person. After spending a lot of effort, he still found nothing, just like before.
Finally, he made up his mind and took out the emergency communication jade left to him by his father, Nangong Hongzhen, to save his life. Only then did he finally contact the trusted alchemist, the master of the Dan Palace and the grand master of alchemy, Helian Xiao.
Helian Xiao was the sworn brother of Nangong Yu's father. With the death of Nangong Hongzhen, Helian Xiao gradually retired. Now he almost no longer cares about worldly affairs, and few people know his whereabouts.
Helian Xiao thought something big had happened and tore through space all the way here.
The man had white hair and a youthful face, and he looked like an immortal. Even though he had rushed all the way here, he did not seem to be in a hurry at all. He was calm and composed, and his whole body exuded an air of detachment that was not tainted by the mundane world.
"Yu'er, what happened?"
Nangong Yu performed the junior's greetings and said, "I asked Uncle Helian to come out of seclusion because I have a few things to ask of you."
Helian Xiao looked at the face in front of him that looked 50% similar to his old friend, and a look of reminiscence appeared on his face: "Brother Hongzhen and I have a life-long friendship. If Yu'er has any request, I will naturally help with all my strength."
Nangong Yu took out two jade bottles and said, "First of all, please ask Uncle Helian to help me see if these two pills came from the same person."
Helian Xiao opened the jade bottle, and the rich aroma of medicine mixed with a hint of blood made an incredible look appear on his otherworldly face.
After carefully examining it, his face gradually became surprised. Like Ling Xiang, he cut open the Heart Protecting Pill to examine it, and his expression became excited:
"Yu'er, these two Heart Protecting Pills are indeed not made by the same person, but they are both top-notch products! Especially this one with blood added! Such a good medicinal effect, it is perfect, even I am afraid I can't refine it! Tell me quickly, where did this come from? Who refined it?"
Nangong Yu is not an alchemist. He has always known that the pills Ling Xiang brought out were good, but he didn't know they were so good. Even the indifferent Helian Xiao was so excited!
Nangong Yu said truthfully: "I asked someone to buy this. As for who refined it, I really don't know, but since Uncle Helian wants to know, I will do my best to find the person who refined this Heart Protection Pill."
Helian Xiao was extremely excited, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "Who did you buy it from? Take me to him!"
Nangong Yu took the opportunity to make a request: "Uncle Helian, the third thing I want you to do this time is related to the person who sold the Heart Protection Pill."
"Oh?" Helian Xiao became even more curious: "What's the matter?"
"She was poisoned by the Faceless Poison. Although she has been cured, her face was disfigured. I would like to ask Uncle Helian for help to restore her appearance."
Helian Xiao became more interested: "Female cultivator?"
Nangong Yu nodded: "Yes."
Helian Xiao stroked his beard and smiled: "You just said the third thing was her, what about the second thing?"
"Someone in my family has a heart disease, and I would like to ask Uncle Helian to treat her."
Helian Xiao thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Come on, take me to see the man with the heart disease."
Gao Zhenzhen has been busy preparing for her wedding. The headwear she ordered was delivered today. She was choosing it when she learned that Nangong Yu was coming. She put on the headwear and went out to greet him.
"Your Highness!" Gao Zhenzhen noticed a stranger beside Nangong Yu, who looked quite distinguished. She bowed respectfully and asked quietly, "Who is this elder?"
Nangong Yu introduced: "Uncle Helian, this is my fiancée, Gao Zhenzhen. Zhenzhen, come and meet Uncle Helian."
Gao Zhenzhen was very considerate and immediately bowed deeply: "Zhenzhen greets Uncle Helian."
