Chapter 1550: Chapter 1550 Are You Serious?
“Mmm~”
An Jiuyue blinked her eyes and took out several porcelain bottles from her space, placing them at the side of the table.
“It’s this medicine.”
She took out one porcelain bottle that was different and showed it to them.
“Its effects are to strengthen the body and improve one’s constitution, continuously providing the energy that the body needs. Of course, it only provides energy at midnight.
While it provides energy, if the body’s available energy isn’t sufficient, it will extract from other parts of the body, and that kind of pain is probably not something an ordinary person could endure.
Here, these medicinal pills I refined are Energy Elixirs. You only need to take one pill each day to prevent experiencing pain when its effects occur.”
“How come, Second Sister-in-law, this sounds like a supplement to me.”
Xia Junfeng stroked his chin, pondering for a while before he understood.
His Second Sister-in-law was actually using supplements as poison—wouldn’t this benefit the old emperor? In his opinion, just giving the old emperor a few buns a day was already generous, let alone supplements?
“It is a supplement, just a flawed one. Those who are weak and cannot handle supplements will wish for death,” An Jiuyue nodded.
“But for someone like the old emperor, I think even if he wants to die, he wouldn’t be able to. In the end, he would have to beg for an antidote, and then whatever you want to know, you would be able to find out.”
“This is really something else.”
Xia Junfeng secretly rubbed his hands and took the porcelain bottle from An Jiuyue’s hand into his own, examining it closely.
“Hand it over.”
Eldest Brother Yan snatched the porcelain bottle from his hand, unimpressed.
Just holding a porcelain bottle without opening it, what can you see? Still grinning like a fool, bringing shame to the second child!
“Why can’t I have a look?”
Xia Junfeng curled his lip, innocently said.
“Tonight, An Jiuyue and I need to make a trip to the palace. Eldest Brother, please arrange it,” Qian Jiyun told Eldest Brother Yan.
“Okay.”
Eldest Brother Yan nodded, he too had some questions for the old emperor.
“I want to go too.”
“All of you are going, then I…”
“You keep watch.”
Before Xia Junfeng could finish, Eldest Brother Yan interrupted him directly.
Go where? There are many matters to attend to outside; he indeed did not feel at ease without having one of their own keeping watch. Could he rely solely on Xia Huafeng?
“Would you feel right making your brother handle it all alone?”
The matters that shouldn’t be known by others, if given to other people to handle, he was afraid news would leak and harm the royal court. So, he had to entrust Xia Junfeng, and Xia Junfeng, in turn, got his own brother involved.
“I…”
Xia Junfeng wanted to say, what’s there to feel bad about? His brother is quite capable.
But voicing this in front of his two elder brothers, would they think he’d treat them the same way in the future?
Better not. Otherwise, before he could treat them that way, they might skin him alive first—certainly a loss that wasn’t worth it.
“I didn’t say I wanted to go to the palace. I’m busy,” he quickly said, changing the subject with a grimace.
Indeed, he was busy. Soon the responsibilities all fell on him. Now his second brother was too busy staying by his second sister-in-law’s side, barely doing any work for him.
“Second Brother, lend Even Yan Nuo to me for a few days, will you?”
“Sure, you can ask him yourself,” Qian Jiyun nodded.
“All righty.”
Xia Junfeng immediately responded and turned to leave.
That night, within the imperial palace.
Eldest Brother Yan had arranged everything for the Horse Carriage to enter the palace; the Horse Carriage had already arrived outside the old emperor’s sleeping chambers.
