Chapter 390 The familiar palace

"Weird, weird!"

Doctor Xue looked at the black lotus seeds with a crack in the barrel, shook his head and said.

Li Xuan was also speechless for a while when he heard Doctor Xue exclaiming in surprise.

When I heard him say "just wait and see" so calmly before, I thought he had expected the current result, but he himself was shocked.

"Mr. Xue, is this abnormal?"

Zhao Feng asked from the side.

"It's not abnormal, it even makes some sense."

"Originally, it is common sense that treasures from heaven, materials and earth should be cultivated in an environment with the same source of power."

"But if it is explained by the principle that the yin pole generates yang and the yang pole generates yin, it makes sense."

"It's just that such heavenly and earthly treasures are extremely rare, but the Ziwu Bingdi Lotus is a mutation, which is indeed reasonable."

Doctor Xue was calm before, just because he was conducting experiments.

His purpose was to observe the results of the experiment. Even if the lotus seeds were cooked in the barrel, it was still a result. Doctor Xue just recorded it truthfully.

It's just that the current result is completely beyond Dr. Xue's expectation.

But Dr. Xue was experienced and quickly found a reasonable explanation.

And while they were talking, a touch of green slowly came out of the gap that opened on the lotus seed.

But this touch of green only came out to the length of a finger, and then it stagnated without any change.

"Oh, have you reached your limit?"

Doctor Xue muttered to himself, then took a ladle from nowhere, scooped out some water from the Sun Flame Pond and added it to the barrel.

As water was added, the green buds on the black lotus seeds in the barrel grew a little more, almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.

No matter how Dr. Xue added water later, the black lotus seeds no longer reacted as violently as before.

"It seems that it still needs time to settle."

Doctor Xue scooped the lotus seeds out of the barrel with a ladle, then observed them carefully, then sat cross-legged on the ground and recorded something in the booklet.

Li Xuan and Zhao Feng looked on and could not help much.

It can be seen that Doctor Xue was very serious when doing research, completely ignoring the existence of a person and a cat beside him.

After a long time, Doctor Xue stood up from the ground, holding a ladle filled with black lotus seeds in his hand.

"Manager Zhao, I already have a clue."

"For the next cultivation, I'm afraid we need to use the water from the Sun and Moon Yin Yang Pond to draw out two lotus ponds. I don't know if it's feasible?"

Regarding Doctor Xue's request, Zhao Feng immediately replied: "This matter needs to be reported to Your Majesty. Maybe I can get a reply from Doctor Xue tomorrow."

"Okay, then you'll have some work."

The two old men spoke politely and finalized the next steps.

It seems that Doctor Xue has already come up with the idea of ​​​​cultivating Ziwu Bingdilian. He seems confident and in a good mood.

Today's experiment ends here, Zhao Feng sent Li Xuan and Doctor Xue out of Yuqing Pool.

Later cultivation requires a special lotus pond to be set aside. Li Xuan and Doctor Xue made an appointment to come to Yuqing Pond for the next experiment.

After agreeing on the next experiment, Doctor Xue returned to the Imperial Hospital on his own, while Li Xuan climbed on Zhao Feng's shoulders and wandered around the palace with him.

Li Xuan had something else he wanted to ask Zhao Feng.

"Then what's going on with the formation under the pool?"

Li Xuan used his tail to write on Zhao Feng's raised palm.

"I can only say that that is the key to making the Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond special."

"Axuan, you have cultivated Yin and Yang Qi, so you should know more than me."

Zhao Feng gave Li Xuan an inscrutable look and did not elaborate on this topic.

It seems that the formation under the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Pond is not an issue that can be discussed casually.

Even as Zhao Feng, he could not reveal it to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan frowned immediately after hearing this.

Zhao Feng didn't give Li Xuan no information at all, but pointed out a key point for him.

"Having mastered the Yin and Yang Qi, I should know more than Old Zhaotou?"

Li Xuan chewed on this sentence repeatedly and had a vague guess:

"It was Emperor Yongyuan who asked me to come. He is guiding me to explore the secrets of the Sun and Moon Yin Yang Pond."

Imperial Physician Xue originally proposed to conduct an experiment on cultivating Ziwu Bingdilian in Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond. At that time, Emperor Yongyuan's condition was that Li Xuan should accompany him throughout the experiment.

Originally, this kind of thing was not Li Xuan's specialty. He was just a little kitten, and it was okay to eat those natural and earthly treasures. How could he know how to cultivate it?

Emperor Yongyuan asked Li Xuan to accompany him throughout the whole process, which naturally had his own intentions.

Judging from the current results, Li Xuan is extremely curious about the formation under the water pool and has already begun to explore.

"But why didn't Emperor Yongyuan tell him directly?"

"Or is it that he doesn't know much?"

Li Xuan blinked his eyes and fell into thinking.

Zhao Feng looked at Li Xuan on his shoulder, who was deep in thought. He didn't say anything more and walked to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Axuan, I have to get back to work."

"And you?"

"Do you need me to take you out of the palace?"

Zhao Feng asked Li Xuan.

Li Xuan shook his head. It was rare to return to the palace. He wanted to take a stroll for a while before going back, and he also had things to do.

"Where's the carriage?"

Li Xuan looked around and found that the carriage was not nearby.

"It's parked at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When you go back later, come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and tell me. I'll send someone to take you back with a carriage."

Although Li Xuan could put the carriage back on his own, he would inevitably shock the world and cause trouble on the way out of the palace.

It’s better to avoid such trouble as much as possible.

After Li Xuan agreed to find Zhao Feng later, he jumped from his shoulder onto the wall, and then ran away quickly.

Zhao Feng looked at Li Xuan's running back and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

…

Li Xuan first went back to Jingyang Palace and found that there was a lot of construction work going on here and many craftsmen were busy here.

The general framework of Jingyang Palace has not been changed much, but every part is undergoing large-scale renovations.

The belongings in Jingyang Palace have long been hidden in Li Xuan's Emperor's Bone Ring, but there is nothing left here.

Fortunately, the space of the Emperor's Bone Ring is large enough. As long as it is three small things, whether it is clothes, bedding, or pots and pans, I can put them in first.

As for the supplies currently being stored in Jingyang Palace, they were first transferred to the House of Internal Affairs for temporary storage, and then moved back when the Jingyang Palace was repaired.

Moreover, Princess Ankang mentioned it to the craftsmen at that time, hoping that during this renovation, a warehouse large enough could be built to store these materials.

The children are also afraid of poverty. They are afraid that one day they will run out of food again, and they develop a hoarding habit without knowing it.

Li Xuan understands this very well.

Seeing the busy scene in Jingyang Palace, Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

When they come back, Jingyang Palace will definitely look completely new.

"I just don't know if Jingyang Palace will be considered a cold palace by then?"

After Li Xuan knew why Concubine Xiao and Princess Ankang entered Jingyang Palace in the first place, he couldn't help but start thinking about this problem.

On the one hand, although Li Xuan hated Emperor Yongyuan's incompetence, on the other hand, he could understand that this was the best way for Emperor Yongyuan to protect Concubine Xiao and Princess Ankang at that time.

"But living like that and never seeing each other again, does that count as protection..."

Li Xuan was picked up by Princess Ankang in a heavy rain in the summer. Concubine Xiao died of illness before winter.

Although Li Xuan and Concubine Xiao only spent a short time together, they were deeply impressed by her.

She is the most gentle woman in the world. Although her temperament is always a bit gloomy, she always smiles in front of Princess Ankang and Li Xuan and speaks to them in a doting tone.

Li Xuan thought of Concubine Xiao who entrusted Princess Ankang to him in front of the sickbed, and couldn't help but smile tenderly.

"There is no reason to entrust your daughter to a little milk cat."

"Concubine Xiao, you are such a strange person."

Even emperors are divided into weak and strong.

Li Xuan estimated that with Emperor Yongyuan's start at that time, he was able to persist until now, in addition to the loyal old servants, he had to thank his shameless uncle.

If only his powerful uncle, the regent, had been more shameless, Emperor Yongyuan would have been kicked off the throne long ago.

Li Xuan looked at the repaired Jingyang Palace for a while and remembered many memories from the past.

He was about to go to the next place when he saw a sneaky eunuch squatting in a dark corner.

The eunuch was carrying a large sack on his back. It was so bulging that he didn't know what it contained.

But looking at the nervous look on this eunuch's face, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

"Unfamiliar face?"

Jingyang Palace is located in a remote place, and there are not many people nearby. Li Xuan can naturally tell at a glance that this eunuch is visiting this area for the first time.

Although Jingyang Palace is under renovation, this eunuch is obviously not here to work.

"What are you doing?"

"There's no one at home, is there anyone here to cause trouble?"

Li Xuan saw that this eunuch did not look like a good person, so he immediately came to the wall near this guy to see what he was going to do.

The eunuch carrying the sack squatted in the corner for a while, then went deeper into the alleyway, and then climbed over the wall at the end.

This is a corner of Jingyang Palace that has not yet been repaired. It is also deserted at this time, and no one has noticed the intruding eunuch.

Li Xuan followed behind for a while, and heard the rustling sounds in the sack, knowing that there were small living creatures inside.

"Damn it, why do these guys always like to play this trick?"

Li Xuan twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a bored expression.

The eunuch walked all the way to the well in the yard. Yu'er used to wash dishes and wash clothes here, and Li Xuan always took a bath here.

After the eunuch arrived at the place, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to untie the sack he had carried.

How could Li Xuan, who had followed him all the way, let him get his wish.

The moment the eunuch opened the sack, Li Xuan descended from the sky, and his tail filled with true energy turned into a hard stick, which he knocked out. Then he stuffed it into the sack smoothly, and thoughtfully closed the opening of the sack. Tie it up.

Li Xuan only glanced inside the sack and saw many familiar friends. They were the classic four brothers of snake, insect, rat and ant.

"Is there anyone in the palace who buys goods wholesale?"

"These gadgets are packed tightly into a sack. How long will it take you to catch them yourself?"

Li Xuan shook his head in disgust and easily picked up the sack with his tail.

He lifted it high enough to avoid dragging it on the ground.

Otherwise, the sack will be torn, which will cause trouble.

"How about taking it to give the brothers extra food?"

As soon as this thought came up, Li Xuan shook his head.

"Forget it, life is getting better now. We can't keep eating these improved foods."

Snakes and mice are easy to deal with, as they are also small snacks for meowing, but insects and ants are not easy to deal with, and they are wasted.

Moreover, Maoba and his friends have been eating meat recently, so they may not be interested in these.

After thinking about it, Li Xuan decided to give it to Zhao Feng and let him solve this little trouble.

And he also wanted to see who was living uncomfortably and came to trouble their Jingyang Palace.

When he came to Jingyang Palace, Li Xuan found Zhao Feng very quickly.

Seeing Li Xuan come back so quickly, Zhao Feng was also curious, but he was more curious about the sack he brought.

Li Xuan briefly recounted what happened before, and Zhao Feng immediately understood.

"I know, Xuan."

"I know who did it."

Zhao Feng's expression seemed a little helpless.

"Oh? What's going on?"

Li Xuan asked.

"Some time ago, Concubine Zhang went to Wuning Palace, which is the Queen's bedroom."

"But I heard that when Concubine Zhang returned to Qingshu Palace, she was very angry and smashed a lot of things."

"According to my information, the Queen seems to have rejected a proposal from Concubine Zhang."

"But I don't know the specific content of the proposal."

"But I think it has something to do with your Jingyang Palace."

Zhao Feng's words made Li Xuan's heart move, but he didn't say anything on his face.

"I'm afraid that this matter is also the work of Concubine Zhang."

Zhao Feng looked at the sack and added:

"It is very likely that she personally instructed it."

The means in front of him were too clumsy, making it difficult for Zhao Feng to believe that it was done by the Fourth Prince.

Moreover, he had warned the Fourth Prince before.

Zhao Feng didn't believe that the Fourth Prince would do such a move that almost provoked the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Zhao Feng felt that the probability that Concubine Zhang was hot-headed was still the highest.

Even the Fourth Prince didn't have time to stop it.

Zhao Feng sighed. Anyway, the person was here, and he would know the truth immediately.

But before the interrogation, he had already made a rough inference in his mind.

And just at this moment, a terrified scream came from the sack, and it was obvious that the person inside had woken up.

Li Xuan was afraid of beating people to death before, so he kept a lot of strength.

Moreover, the eunuch in the sack also had cultivation, but he had no resistance in front of Li Xuan who practiced Yin and Yang Qi.

Hearing the movement in the sack, Zhao Feng raised his hand lightly, and the scream in the sack disappeared immediately, but the rustling sound was still there, and it was obvious that the little guys were still active.

"Ah Xuan, leave this matter to me."

"At least, it can make Qingshu Palace quiet for a while."

"If Concubine Zhang is not rational again, the Zhang family will pay the price."

Zhao Feng smiled slightly, as if he was happy to see this result.

Li Xuan is no longer surprised by Concubine Zhang, this crazy woman.

Li Xuan sometimes couldn't figure out how Concubine Zhang, who was so abnormal in her mind, could raise the eldest prince's three siblings.

Apart from their different positions, the three siblings were pretty good people, and they had a deep brother-sister relationship and were very united.

"I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out."

Li Xuan shook his head and left the Ministry of Internal Affairs, looking forward to the Imperial Garden.

After leaving the palace, he hadn't seen the cats for a long time, and it was just right for him to come back this time to see how they were doing.

But after arriving at the Imperial Garden, Li Xuan was surprised to find that these three guys were actually taking care of a baby.

The three cats surrounded a little kitten that hadn't opened its eyes yet. The little kitten was orange, with a few vertical lines on its forehead, like a small frown, and a large white scarf around its neck.

Looking at this little guy, Li Xuan didn't even have time to say hello, and immediately exclaimed:

"Meow? (Fat Orange, you have a child?)"
