I have been experimenting with medicine in the Palace of Longevity for 30 years

Chapter 42 The Change of the Prince

"My lord, why did you call me here?"

In an antique room, He Pingan sat at the table, while Zhang Laoqi stood aside and asked in a low voice.

"Starting today, you have to pay more attention to what you say and do."

"If it's like just now, and you can't walk when you see a beautiful girl, don't blame me for being ruthless and leaving you alone in this Marquis's mansion."

He Pingan took a sip of the Yuqian Longjing that the maid had just soaked, and said lightly.

Zhang Laoqi shuddered in his heart, and quickly said: "Don't worry, my son, from today onwards, I will stay outside your house and will not go anywhere."

"Just now, I searched the entire Hou's mansion with my spiritual sense. Except for the side room to the east of the Hou's mansion, there is a monk of the fourth rank of the Taoist sect, and there is no monk of the third rank."

Cultivators of the upper third rank are strong and tyrannical, and generally do not submit to others.

Although Marquis Yongchun was a second-rank martial artist, he only had two third-rank monks under him, both of whom were with the army in Nanjiang and did not stay in the Marquis' residence.

There are only three fourth-rank monks in the Hou Mansion, and two of them have died under He Pingan's hands.

He Pingan told Zhang Laoqi the results of his investigation, and then said: "Only monks of the same level can see through my transformation technique, so you don't have to worry too much, just be careful.

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

After He Ping'an's temporary "training", Zhang Laoqi already has the airs of a guard.

In the blink of an eye, January has passed.

On weekdays, He Ping'an had shown himself naughty enough by flirting with the maids of the Hou's mansion and squandering money recklessly, but he was still praised repeatedly by Wu Yang, which made him a little dumbfounded.

After all, he is not a playboy, there are some things he really can't do.

For example, several of Wu Fan's foot-warming maids have already broken their Yuan Yin.
Hou Mansion, front hall.

"Ma'am, after the son came back recently, it has become a little different from before."

Chun He said suspiciously.

"Oh, how do you say that?"

Wu Yang asked a little strangely.

"For example, although the prince used to spend money recklessly, he never bought poison pills."

"This month, Shizi spent 5000 taels of silver just to buy poison pills."

"Ah."

"Also, when I came back before, I would stare at me for a long time, wishing I could eat me."

"When I came back this time, not only did he not look at me very much, he didn't even seem to touch Luliu and the others."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"It means that we, Fan'er, have grown up."

Wu Yang said with a gratified smile.

"But, ma'am, the prince stays with that guard Su day and night, will it be?"

Chunhe looked suspicious.

"Chunhe, I think you have indulged too much these past few years!"

"I don't know the seniority or inferiority."

"My son is doing things, how can you gossip here!"

Wu Yang's complexion changed, and he flew into a rage.

"Ma'am, Chun He knew she was wrong."

Seeing Wu Yang's anger, Chunhe knew that she had said something wrong, so she knelt on the ground in fright and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Today I will punish you, kneeling outside for a day without eating."

Wu Yang said with a gloomy expression.

"Yes!"

"Go down!"

Wu Yang sent Chun He away, and sat alone in the empty room, rubbing her swollen temples with her slender fingers.

Fan'er, wouldn't it really have something to do with Su Huwei?

No, Fan'er is not young anymore, so he has to find a suitable lady from the big family.
The back house of the Hou Mansion.

"My lord, in the past few days, I have asked almost everyone who has a relationship with Jiang Yuyan, but there is no news of her."

"Shortly after Chen Biao's death five years ago, Jiang Yuyan mysteriously disappeared."

"I searched up and down the Hou's mansion for a long time, but I couldn't find her."

"It is said that Wu Fan also spent a lot of money to ask the warlocks of the Sitianjian to calculate the heavenly secrets, but he got nothing."

Zhang Laoqi is reporting the results of his investigation to He Pingan.

Within a few days of coming to Yongchunhou's Mansion, Zhang Laoqi became friends with the servants in the mansion by virtue of his tricks and abductions on the streets.

Seeing this, He Pingan arranged a mission for him to find out Jiang Yuyan's whereabouts.

The result was basically the same as what he asked Wu Fan about.

"Anything else to add?"

He Pingan asked.

"It seems that not long after Jiang Yuyan disappeared, Madam ordered that she is not allowed to advance her in front of the crown prince."

"why is that?"

"The subordinates don't know either. I asked a few maids, but they didn't know either."

"Okay, then you go down."

"Remember to wipe off the lip marks on your neck before reporting next time."

He Pingan said lightly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with it.

Zhang Laoqi showed embarrassment, and he didn't explain it, and he didn't explain it, so he could only leave in a hurry.

"It's a bit strange that the Sitianjian couldn't find it."

He Ping'an felt a little depressed, Daxuan Si Tianjian was in charge of astronomy, counting the calendar, and all the magicians under him were good at divination and calculation.

If they couldn't find it, then if they wanted to find Jiang Yuyan, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

While thinking, a clear and pleasant voice sounded outside the house.

"Your Majesty, Madam welcomes you."

"Got it, I'll come right over."

He Ping'an heard the voice of Wu Yang's close maid Chun He, got up and tidied his clothes, and followed the maid to the front court.

After passing through the pavilions and attics, before reaching the vestibule, they heard Wu Yangshi talking with a woman.

"Sister Lu, I will leave this matter to you."

"Sister of the Wu family, put your heart in your stomach, and if you are old enough to go out, I promise to find you a young lady who is beautiful and intelligent."

Seeing He Pingan coming, the woman in her fifties greeted Wu Yang and left.

"Fan'er, you are here, come and sit."

Wu Yangshi waved to He Pingan, motioning for him to sit down.

"Ah."

He Pingan agreed that Wu Yangshi is Wu Fan's stepmother, and Wu Fan has always been very indifferent to her, so he can't show too close to her.

He pretended to be Wu Fan just as a tactic to delay the attack, lest Wu Fan disappear, causing an uproar, causing the Marquis of Yongchun to search everywhere, and destroying Wu Fan's feeling of the "charm" of the Drug Testing Department.

When Wu Fan in the drug testing department died, he would quietly disappear.

"The one just now was Mrs. Lu from the Marquis of Ji'an. This time I came here because I thought that my family is not young anymore, so I should find a girl to talk to."

Wu Yangshi opened his mouth to explain.

"Hehe, so, is Jiang Yuyan unworthy?"

He Pingan raised his head suddenly, staring at Wu Yangshi with burning eyes.

He didn't use the soul-hunting technique, so he wanted to try it out first.

"you!"

Wu Yang's originally gentle and dignified complexion suddenly became gloomy, and his jade finger pointed at He Pingan, his delicate body trembling.

"Because she is a commoner, she is not worthy of marrying into the Marquis of Yongchun's mansion, is she?"

He Pingan was not afraid at all, and looked into her eyes, just like an infatuated son of an aristocratic family falling out with his stepmother for his lover.

"She is a remnant, she has a fiancé before you, and she is a commoner, and she even wants to marry into the Hou's mansion. I don't agree!"

Wu Yangshi was originally a dignified and skilled person, but now he became a little crazy, and his hysterical voice contained contempt, pleasure, hatred, and regret
"So you killed her?"

He Pingan continued to ask.

When asked this question, Wu Yang suddenly reacted, and said in a trembling voice: "I didn't kill her."
