Nine Turns of Nirvana

On the second day, news suddenly spread that Qin Yanzhen, the princess of Gaoyang County, had arrived in the suburban county and would be entering Beijing soon.

The news immediately caused a sensation in the entire capital. No one expected that Qin Yanzhen would come back so quickly and arrive near the capital quietly. All this revealed an unusual meaning.

Even Lu Yu, who had come to Beijing all the way and had just attended the Cining Palace banquet, where he had a confrontation with Empress Dowager Zheng, was completely overshadowed. After all, the reason why people pay so much attention to Lu Yu is largely because he has become the choice for Princess Gaoyang's consort. Now that the real owner has returned, the focus of people's attention has naturally returned to her.

Even Zhou Zunian and others rose up as if they were facing a formidable enemy. After all, they had used this plan to seize the military power from Qin Yanzhen, and they had already thought about the possibility that Qin Yanzhen would be forced to rebel. Now that Qin Yanzhen was uncharacteristically quick, she couldn't help but They were so nervous that they couldn't care less about Lu Yu for a while.

Naturally, Lu Yu would not take the initiative to tell Zhou Zunian that Qin Yanzhen had already arrived in Beijing, and he and she had met in Shuhua Palace last night... On the contrary, he was so happy that everyone's attention was not on him for the time being. It would allow him to perform better and secretly plot to poach the Dawu Pill Control Bureau.

As expected, Concubine Hua sent the eunuch He Shouzheng to take him to the Dawu Pill Making Bureau to find the elixir. Therefore, when everyone was rushing to discuss the news that Qin Yanzhen was about to enter the capital, he had quietly boarded the car to go to the Dawu Pill Making Bureau. Bureau's carriage.

Traveling with him were the Wen sisters, both of whom were masters of alchemy. Since they wanted to exploit the alchemy bureau, their help was naturally indispensable. The explanation given to the eunuch He Shouzheng was that they were his Consultant to determine the final plan for taking the elixir.

He Shouzheng didn't think much about it. Lu Yu was a popular person who was about to become the Prince Consort, and the Wen sisters were disciples of the Dali Sword Sect. They were people who needed to be fawned over. He had no idea that the other party was actually plotting to poach him. The corner of the empty pill control bureau.

Along the way, Lu Yu seemed very silent, so the Wen sisters couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

"Prince-in-law, why haven't you spoken? You've been in a state of disbelief since you came back last night. Could it be that at the banquet in the palace last night, one of the noble concubines was ogling you?" Wen Rulan said in amusement.

Wen Ruman also had a sour tone and said from the side: "When I saw the prince consort, he was not necessarily thinking about the imperial concubine. He probably heard the news about Princess Gaoyang returning to Beijing and was thinking about the prime minister. Your Highness, the princess whom I have never met!”

Only then did Lu Yu come back to his senses and thought to himself, these two sisters are really two smart little guys. How come they got both points right?

He did not pick up what the two of them were saying, and instead said: "We came to Beijing this time for two purposes. One is to seek the position of county governor for Ye Zhengkang. There seems to be no problem with this matter. The most powerful person in the Dawu Dynasty The two forces, the Third Prince's family and the Seventh Prince's family, currently have no plans to obstruct this matter. They can achieve it as long as they proceed step by step..."

"As for the other thing, we will start to do it right away... After arriving at the Dawu Pill Making Bureau, I will ask them to customize a pill for me, and you will be responsible for 'supervising' it. They will even give you some 'guidance' on the refining process when necessary. You should already know exactly what to do, right?"

The two sisters had already understood Lu Yu's plan, and they burst out laughing.

"Both of us sisters understand the prince-in-law's wishes..."

"The so-called 'supervision' is to see what talents are worth exploring in this large martial arts bureau... The so-called 'guidance' is to throw out some wonderful refining techniques to arouse their curiosity, and then use them to They are attracted to Jade Butterfly Peak, right?"

"These methods are all used by you... Well, our Senior Brother Yu used them on Jade Butterfly Peak before. Now we are just copying the gourd and drawing the dipper. This is a piece of cake!"

Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that taking the sisters down the mountain was indeed the right decision. The two sisters were thoughtful and considerate. As long as he mentioned the beginning of many things, they would know exactly what to do next. Make him feel comfortable and worry-free.

"However, this Dawu Alchemy Bureau is different from ordinary sects. They belong to the private property of the imperial power and are not allowed to leave the country easily... How does the Prince Consort plan to make them leave the capital and switch to Jade Butterfly Peak?" Wen Rulan asked curiously road.

A strange smile appeared on Lu Yu's lips: "If Emperor Dawu won't let them leave the capital, then I will kill them all!"

The two sisters couldn't help but be stunned.

However, they had long been accustomed to Lu Yu's unexpected way of doing things. They just wanted to make sure that Lu Yu had a proper solution, and they did not dig too deep into the matter.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the secret base of the Dawu Alchemy Bureau, which was heavily guarded and had many sentries. After many rounds of questioning, it finally arrived inside the Alchemy Bureau.

"Prince-in-law, the Nine Flame Grandmaster of the Dawu Alchemy Bureau and the person in charge here, wish Ting a long life and wish the bureau upright."

"Mr. Zhu, this is Young Master Wang Tieyi. His Majesty has appointed him, and he will soon become the Prince Consort of Gaoyang County. You must have heard of his name."

The great eunuch He Shouzheng introduced the two of them.

Lu Yu glanced at Zhu Tingshou and saw that he was full of white hair. He was already past his sixtieth year, but he was still full of energy. There were nine red flames embroidered on his chest.

Within the Alchemy Bureau, the level of alchemists has always been judged by the number of flames, and Nine Flame Masters like Zhu Tingshou are already at the highest level.

"I have long admired my name, and it is a great honor to meet you today!"

Lu Yu looked kindly and bowed his hands to Zhu Tingshou.

Zhu Tingshou, on the other hand, had an understatement on his face and said indifferently: "Nice to meet you."

It can be seen that this Master Jiuyan has a common problem among ordinary alchemists - he is arrogant and arrogant.

He Shouzheng was obviously aware of Zhu Tingshou's bad temper, and explained in a businesslike tone: "The Prince Consort is a distinguished guest and is highly appreciated by His Majesty and the Empress. He is here because he has some elixirs. Please wish Juzheng to try his best to meet your needs. This is also the instructions of Concubine Hua.”

After saying these words, He Shouzheng immediately patted his butt and left without the slightest hint of nostalgia.

Seeing He Shouzheng leaving so decisively, Lu Yu thought to himself that Zhu Tingshou's temper was not as bad as usual. Even He Shouzheng, the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, had suffered a lot from him. Otherwise, the two of them would have suffered a lot. How could people just walk away without any greetings?

Sure enough, as soon as He Shouzheng left, Zhu Tingshou said something to Lu Yu.

"I don't know how much powerful people like you have to deal with when you come here every year to catch the autumn wind! I'm old and I really don't have the energy to deal with you. You go around the various alchemy rooms on your own and just take whatever you like. That’s right, as long as it’s not too much!”

After saying that, he walked away, leaving only Lu Yu and the Wen sisters where they were, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

This old guy has such a big temper. I hope his abilities are as big as his temper!
