In the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, in a side hall, a man who looked to be in his twenties, wearing a yellow robe and a crown of jade, was quietly listening to the reports of the wilderness.
"This time something happened suddenly, and I didn't dare to decide without authorization, so I asked the fourth prince to see him, and asked the fourth prince to forgive me. " The wilderness waited for the road.
The handsome man, none other than the fourth prince Chu Xia, was born to a concubine.
Although they are both princes, their status is much different, but the fourth prince has always been low-key and not jealous. Among all princes, he is very popular.
Almost all imperial princes believed that the fourth prince was the most qualified to succeed to the throne, but unfortunately, he was not born of the main palace.
The fourth prince Chu Xia nodded and said: "You did the right thing, but this Long Chen suddenly became a medicine refiner, which surprised me "
"Yes, when I saw the nameplate, I couldn't believe my eyes. This waste turned into a medicine refiner, which is really unbelievable. " Wild Marquis also shook his head and said, He can't believe it until now.
"is interesting. After this Longchen was seriously injured by your son last time, it seemed that his whole body had changed. He actually became stronger and could even kill a strong person in the coagulation realm in one and a half steps. I am afraid there are many articles here. " The fourth prince stood up and walked back and forth a few trails:
"After you go back, carefully monitor the movements of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion to see if there are any suspicious people coming in and out. Remember not to alarm the snake "
"Yes, Wei Chen will do it now, but for Long Chen. . . . . " said hesitantly during the wilderness.
"Don't worry about him for the time being. He is just a chess piece. As long as he doesn't jump out of the chess game, even if he has a backer, he still can't get rid of the fate of the chess piece.
But now his identity is a bit sensitive, you let your son restrain himself for a while, by the way, how is Yaoyang's injury?" The fourth prince asked.
"The fourth prince of Youlao was worried. After the dog was treated, it was no longer a big problem. " The wild prince hurriedly said.
But then, when Zhou Yaoyang was carried back, he was really startled. The injury was so intimidating that he couldn't recognize his son.
Fortunately, though the injury was frightening, the visceral damage was not great, and that was because Long Chen gave him a pill to save his life.
After this period of conditioning and spending a lot of gold coins, Zhou Yaoyang was able to walk on the ground yesterday. Apart from being unable to do anything with others for the time being, it was no longer a serious problem.
"Well, that's good, you go back first, remember what I said, stare over there, if there is any change, report it to me immediately "
"is, Wei Chen retreated "
After the Wild Marquis left, the fourth prince came to the window and looked at the dark sky curtain outside, with a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"After all, the night cannot last long, and the dawn will arrive soon. Zhenyuan is waiting, how long can I see you resist? "
. . . . .
Early the next morning, when the men of the Marquis of Zhenyuan pushed open the gate, the ground in front of the gate was covered with brand new floor tiles, and the Marquis could not help but be surprised.
Unbeknownst to them, the men of the Savage Marquis, when they cleaned the ground, dug up all the ground stained with blood.
Seeing that "the potholed ground was left behind, the person who originally stayed to deal with the aftermath thought of being scolded by the wilderness before leaving. After thinking about it, he finally asked his subordinates to simply give the entire ground a new look. Then he left with confidence".
Long Chen couldn't help but show a hint of ridicule about this matter. He bullied the weak and was afraid of the hard. It's time to be honest for a while this time!
After Long Chen got up, he first went to ask his mother for peace. Mrs. Long didn't know how to come back yesterday. It seemed that as soon as she opened her eyes, it was dawn. What happened yesterday was like a dream.
"Chen'er, what happened yesterday? " Although she saw that Long Chen was safe and sound, Mrs. Long was still a little frightened.
"Mom, the child has grown up and has become a real man. Like my father, I can also protect this family from wind and rain. " Longchen held his mother's hand and said solemnly.
He doesn't want his mother to know much about it, she is just a mortal, Long Chen has already checked her body, it is a kind of innate extinct vein, not a waste spiritual root, but a non-spiritual root.
Moreover, if the mother is nearly four decades old this year, she cannot practice the Nine-Star Body Technique. What's more, the Nine-Star Body Technique is the most rigid and sunny practice method, and women cannot practice it at all.
Even if Long Chen defies the heavens, he still cannot change his mother's constitution. All he can do now is to make his mother worry less.
Looking at her son as if he had grown up overnight, as if she had seen her husband's resolute figure, Mrs. Long couldn't help but feel a little excited, and her tears couldn't help but stay:
"Good boy, my mother won't ask you, I believe you "
Long Chen hurriedly wiped away his mother's tears and said with a smile: " mother, your son has grown up, you should be happy. I have prepared the same gift for you today "
After Long Chen finished speaking, he put a touch on the ring and added a jade bottle in his hand. Before Long Chen could speak, Mrs. Long was shocked and said: "This is a space ring. Where did you get it? "
Long Chen couldn't help but laugh and cry. How could this look feel like he was a thief.
Long Chen knew that there was no way to keep it from his mother. In order to save his mother from fear, Long Chen revealed his identity as a medicine refiner to his mother.
Anyway, sooner or later everyone will know that there is no need for him to hide it, but after Long Chen lied about being beaten up, he opened up the meridians by chance and could practice.
Moreover, he actually cultivated the elixir fire and had the potential to become an alchemist. Then he went to the Alchemist Guild and happened to meet Master Yunqi. He hugged Master Yunqi's legs and complained with tears.
Finally, under the offensive of Long Chen's nose and tears, Master Yunqi, who impressed Tie Shi's heart, was promoted exceptionally and became an alchemist.
Mrs. Long heard it in the clouds and mist, but Long Chen swore that it was true and showed the nameplate to his mother. Mrs. Long believed it.
Although Mrs. Long is not a practitioner, she knows that the alchemist is an extremely noble existence. It is a blessing that Long Chen can become a alchemist in several lifetimes.
"Mom, don't move, I'll paint you "
After saying that, Long Chen poured out a few drops of liquid from the bottle and applied it gently in the palm of his hand. A fragrance instantly filled the whole room, which shocked people's hearts, as if sucking that fragrance could make the whole person feel better. Relaxed.
When Mrs. Long saw that Long Chen was serious, she did not dare to move. Long Chen gently applied the liquid in his hand on Mrs. Long's cheek.
"A cool feeling that penetrated people's hearts and spleens. Mrs. Long suddenly felt that her face was cool and very comfortable".
"Chen'er, what exactly is this? It feels very good. Mrs. Long closed her eyes, felt her son's movements, and said softly.
"Hehe, this is a son who honors your baby, so keep this position and don't move. " Longchen smiled.
"Naughty, you bad boy " refused to answer directly when he saw Long Chen. Mrs. Long couldn't help but laugh and curse, but there was a warmth in her heart.
"A handful of shit and a handful of urine pulled Long Chen big. Now that her son has grown up and knows how to be filial, Mrs. Long is happier than anything else".
"Okay, you can open your eyes " Longchen said.
Mrs. Long slowly opened her eyes and found a huge bronze mirror in front of her, which was her dressing mirror. She was being held in front of Long Chen at this moment.
"ah. . . . . "
Mrs. Long looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but scream. She looked left and right and found that the person was hers, but she seemed much younger.
The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes have been significantly diluted, and the skin, which was originally somewhat dry, has become hydrated and looks like it is ten years younger.
"Chen'er, I'm not dreaming. " Mrs. Long looked at herself in the mirror for a long time and said in disbelief.
"Is it a dream? I don't know, but if you continue to take the photo, we will have to have lunch directly. " Longchen said with a smile.
Mrs. Long couldn't help but blush and beat Long Chen lightly: " stinky boy, even your mother dares to play, this has not been more than half an hour "
"Longchen Yile, yes, my mother is not only ten years younger, but her heart is also ten years younger. She smiled and said: " Mom, this is the beauty-staying liquid I specially refined for you. Although the medicinal materials are average, the effect will make you return." When you are about thirty years old, there is still no problem
Zhuyan liquid originally required a main drug called Zhuyan fruit to be configured, but Zhuyan fruit was extremely rare and Longchen could not be found in a short period of time.
He replaced it with a kind of Zhuyan grass, which, although much less effective, could not bring people back to their girlhood, but it was still fine to be a few years younger.
"really?" Mrs. Long couldn't help but say with great joy, as a woman, there is no one who doesn't cherish her face.
It's just that Mrs. Long and her husband are separated, and Long Chen is born with a useless body, which breaks her heart, so she is old and fast.
Seeing "My mother is so happy, Long Chen's heart is full of guilt. My mother has paid too much for this home".
"Mom, this bottle of medicine will stay with you. I will give you a few more elixirs. You have taken them. I guarantee that we will not be together for a month. Others will never believe that you are my mother and think that you are my mother. My sister? " Long Chen pressed his mother's shoulder with both hands and said with a smile.
"Stinky boy, I have a poor mouth, but now I have a lot of skills, but my mother can tell you, we agreed.
Mengqi, this daughter-in-law, must not run away. No matter what method you use, you must get her back to me. Although I am happy in my heart, Mrs. Long is still thinking about this matter.
When Long Chen proposed breaking up with Meng Qi before, she could guess the possibility that a fairy-like woman like Meng Qi would not give up as long as she was a man.
But Long Chen did that. She later remembered the matter and felt as painful as a needle. To put it bluntly, she was still incompetent and made her son suffer.
But "Long Chen never mentioned this matter, and Mrs. Long felt more and more sad. When she saw Long Chen's method today, she immediately thought of it".
In the past, Long Chen was not worthy of others, but now Long Chen is an alchemist and has a superior status. He should have a chance, so he couldn't help but urge him.
"Mom, don't worry, don't you know my temper? It's "Who dares to grab me?" When I was a child, my cousin robbed me of toys, and I cried and shouted that I was not bitten. Long Chen smiled.
However, Long Chen smiled and couldn't laugh anymore because he saw the sadness in his mother's eyes.
Since her father guarded the border, it seemed that her mother had never been to her natal family again. No matter how difficult her family was, her mother had never asked her natal family for help.
Long Chen took his mother's hand and said: " mother, now your son is a medicine refiner. Our hard life has come to an end, so don't think about some unpleasant things "
He spoke with his mother for a while. After seeing her mother's mood gradually becoming cheerful, Long Chen had breakfast and went straight to the Alchemist Guild.
