Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 348: Poor Taoist has limited ability

Chen Yuzong hesitated for a moment and then made a choice in his heart.

It would be fine if he didn't know that Su Qiaoyun had given birth to a son for him. Although he was greedy for life and afraid of death, he still had to die and could see things through.

But things are different now. His parents died early and could not see him carry on the family line. He himself thought that the Chen family was extinct. How could he have imagined that Su Qiaoyun actually gave birth to a son for him and left a huge family fortune to his son. inherit!
He was eager to return home, and no longer wanted to be in the palace where intrigues and deceit existed. He was cheating here, but wasn't it possible that he might be beheaded at any time?
In fact, Murong Jiu also figured out what he was thinking.

He had no idea how many forces the Fourth Prince had under his command, and it was even less likely that the Fourth Prince would tell him. So, like outsiders, he felt that the Fourth Prince's mother's family was the least powerful and had the least chance of inheriting the throne.

The fourth prince was terrifying, but Chen Yuzong didn't think the fourth prince was as powerful as King Ling.

Now that he could escape with the help of Prince Ling, he didn't have to worry about the difficulty of escaping afterwards. The fourth prince asked him to do it, but it was a serious crime of deceiving the king and killing the king. He didn't believe that the fourth prince could spare his life.

So, he stopped looking at the fourth prince's face and cooperated with Princess Ling's plan.

He stubbornly added a few medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace, and Princess Ling immediately sneered at the side:
"Master, if you add these three things, the medicines will conflict with each other. Don't you understand?"

Master Zi Chen said in a deep voice: "You are a woman, what do you know? There is no need for you to interfere here!"

"I see that you don't want to refine the elixir for my father at all, but you want to refine the poisonous elixir. Where did the charlatan come from? Does he know how to refine elixir? The previous elixir was just a lucky success! If you can't do it, change it. Here comes my princess!"

Murong Jiu said with a sneer.

Seeing their tense situation, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous.

The fire under the alchemy furnace grew stronger and stronger, as if even the air was becoming hot.

Everyone felt that Princess Ling's personality seemed to have changed, but they couldn't explain why.

It's as if she is more beautiful and dazzling, and full of vitality.

She looked a bit aggressive, but it was hard to take your eyes away from her face.

Some maids noticed that the four princes were staring at Princess Ling.

Of course Murong Jiu knew that the Fourth Prince was looking at her, but it was not as stunning as the palace maid thought. If looks could kill, she and Master Zi Chen would have died under the Fourth Prince's murderous gaze.

But so what, look, there won’t be any missing piece of meat.

She really wanted to see the strategizing fourth prince looking incompetent and furious.

Master Zichen continued to add things to the alchemy furnace, and the fourth prince suddenly said: "Master, my eldest sister-in-law is a student of the miracle doctor. She must have a good reason for stopping the master. Why don't you think about it carefully? This is my father. The elixir that enters the mouth cannot be careless."

He stared at Master Zi Chen with cold eyes.

But Master Zi Chen didn't look over and was unmoved.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the fourth prince.

He didn't know why Master Zi Chen changed so much in a short period of time after Jun Yuyan and Murong Jiu came.

But he was sure that this had a lot to do with Murong Jiu.

Murong Jiu, Murong Jiu, why do all the problems come from her?
Not killing her in the first place was the biggest mistake.

The Fourth Prince has thought this in his mind countless times.

It was true that he was interested in Murong Jiu, but since he knew that Murong Jiu was uncontrollable, he only had one thought left, which was to kill her.Regarding the iron ore mine in Chaling County, Murong Jiu caught him off guard. He was already fast enough, but Jun Yuyan's people were even faster, and even God was helping them. It rained heavily and washed away All traces were lost.

At the moment, Murong Jiu is still leading Jun Yuyan to sabotage his plan, which is to drive away Master Zi Chen.

In his previous life, Master Zichen never appeared, so the fourth prince couldn't figure out how Murong Jiu knew the "secret".

At this moment, the alchemy furnace also made sounds one after another.

The fourth prince's expression changed, and his eyes became even more sinister.

"Everyone, get out of here. There's something wrong with this sound. Maybe the alchemy furnace is about to explode!"

Murong Jiu said loudly on purpose.

Jun Yuyan heard the sound and realized that it was not very powerful, but he still quickly led Murong Jiu back and used half of his body to block the impact of the possible explosion.

Others also hurriedly hid outside.

Not long after he finished speaking, the alchemy furnace suddenly made a bang, and the lid above was blown off, falling to the ground and falling into pieces.

There was a burning smell and black smoke coming from inside.

The emperor responded.

"What's going on, my elixir!"

Concubine Jing supported the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as nothing happens, you will be able to refine a new elixir."

Murong Jiu said loudly: "Father, you have seen that Master Zi Chen's abilities are really not good! I am afraid that he is old and has forgotten how to make elixirs correctly, so he actually added several medicinal materials with conflicting properties, and... I had a dispute with my son! Fortunately, the alchemy furnace exploded, otherwise, I don’t know what would happen to you if you eat the elixir!"

Master Zi Chen lowered his head and said: "It seems that Pindao is really old, and he actually remembered the recipe for refining the alchemy incorrectly. This is Pindao's mistake. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

The emperor's face turned ugly: "Master, you made the last potion of elixir well, and I took it and the effect was good. Why did something suddenly go wrong?"

The fourth prince spoke up at the right time: "Father, Master Zichen was still fine just now. I don't know what the eldest brother and sister-in-law argued with the real person, and that made him lose his condition."

Jun Yuyan said coldly: "What does the fourth emperor brother mean by this? Can we deliberately sabotage Master Zi Chen's alchemy?"

"Brother, please don't get excited. I don't mean this. It's just that after my father took the elixir refined by the real person, his physical condition improved a lot, which is obvious to all. My father and I also hope that you can live a long life, like the real person." Eternal youth."

The fourth prince said.

The emperor frowned and asked Master Zichen: "Master Zichen, please tell me clearly what happened? But did Prince Ling and his wife influence your alchemy refining?"

Master Zi Chen shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, it's true that Pindao can't practice this second elixir. I'll tell you the truth. The older Pindao gets, the faster his memory declines. Several medicinal materials are wrong. If Princess Ling hadn't reminded him, , I’m afraid it will lead to a big mistake.”

After saying this, Murong Jiu watched the fourth prince clenching his fists secretly, suppressing his overwhelming anger.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

The emperor said angrily: "Then the real person can't think carefully? What if you and Princess Ling are asked to work together to find a way to refine it for me?"

Murong Jiu said: "Father, I am afraid that Master Zi Chen will not be able to refine the elixir in this situation. I am willing to refine the elixir for my father. Before giving it to you, I will be very strict and find someone to test the elixir. Refining elixirs has never been a problem. It’s not something that happens overnight.”
