463 Immortal at (Part 2)
They scooped the thing up. As soon as it ca out of the water, they slled the strong fragrance of the thing in their hands. Imdiately, Su Yanyu swallowed his saliva.
Mu Cong also swallowed his saliva, but he was still relatively clear-headed and said, “Lord Su, this thing is evil. You can’t eat it.”
How sinful would it be if he took a bite? Mu Cong slled the strong fragrance and felt his mouth water. If Su Yanyu ca down alone, he would have definitely been tempted to take a bite.
Su Yanyu gulped. “Pull, pull us up.”
!!
He held it carefully, his eyes fixed on it. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, as if a voice was clamoring inside his head. “Eat it. Just one bite. It’s fine.”
Mu Cong gulped and reminded him. “Lord Su, you can’t eat this…”
He swallowed his saliva. Su Yanyu couldn’t take his eyes off it. When he spoke, saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth. “I know, but it slls so f*cking good. What is this? It feels soft and smooth to the touch. It looks like a piece of at, but what at slls so good? It’s like immortal at.”
Mu Cong also kept swallowing his saliva. He could no longer sll the fragrance of the vegetarian dishes in Suzhai Pavilion, but he could still sll the fragrance of this thing. It was like a piece of soft and fragrant pork.
If not for the fact that he still had so rationality left, he and Su Yanyu would have taken big bites off it already.
When Mu Cong and Su Yanyu were pulled out of the well, a strong fragrance wafted out.
“Gulp…”
Everyone present there drooled. Their eyes were fixed on the water-like thing.
Mu Cong and Su Yanyu’s hands were trembling. What was this thing? They thought that it would turn into black water and be filled with a stench when it reached the ground, but it didn’t. Instead, they felt that it was getting more and more fragrant.
Even Wei Shilai couldn’t help but gulp. “Miss Liu, this…”
Almost all of them were swallowing their saliva, but not Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan. He looked disgusted while she was calm.
Liu Sanniang said serenely, “This is Hui Zhen’s secret. I don’t know what it is exactly. It’s probably immortal at. While this thing is in the well, the water will be filled with spiritual qi and vegetables grown with this water will be fragrant.”
Liu Sanniang took a piece of cloth and gestured for Mu Cong to put the thing on it. Mu Cong looked extrely reluctant. Neither he nor Su Yanyu wanted to let go, but they still put the fragrant thing on it.
After the thing was wrapped in the cloth, the fragrance was gone.
Liu Sanniang said, “Let’s go.”
Everyone swallowed their saliva. This was Immortal at. Would they be able to live forever after eating it? Their eyes were filled with greed.
Su Yanyu subconsciously raised his hand, preparing to inhale the lingering fragrance on his hand. After all, he had touched the immortal at with his hand earlier. However, when his hand ca close to his nose, he imdiately retched.
Mu Cong almost did the sa thing as Su Yanyu. The two of them bent over and retched non-stop.
Everyone ca back to their senses and sighed in sympathy. It seed that this thing was not sothing good. Otherwise, Mu Cong and Su Yanyu would not be acting like this.
Liu Sanniang looked at Mu Cong and Su Yanyu. “Wash your hands.”
In this world, there was no such thing as immortal at. It was just endless sin.
The sky was already dark. Su Yanyu and Mu Cong could not take it anymore, so they did not follow the group to Xuanyi Departnt. Instead, they went back to rest.
Liu Sanniang carried the cloth wrapped with immortal at and followed Wei Shi back to the governnt office.
When they arrived at Xuanyi Departnt, Wei Shilai could not help but ask. “Miss Liu, how should we deal with this?”
Wei Shilai was a little worried. This tempting thing could make people greedy and selfish. If it wasn’t dealt with, he would feel uneasy.
Knowing Wei Shilai’s worries, Liu Sanniang said, “Sir, don’t worry. We’ll find out when we see Hui Zhen.”
Wei Shilai was relieved. Hui Zhen had already been locked up by him in the Xuanyi Departnt. If this thing belonged to Huizhen, she would have all the answers.
However, when they entered the office and were about to interrogate Hui Zhen, his subordinates reported with their heads lowered. “Sir, Master Hui Zhen is no longer in the Xuanyi Departnt…”
They lowered their heads, not having the courage to look up.
Wei Shilai’s heart skipped a beat. “What’s going on? Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on her?”
The subordinate answered. “Two hours ago, His Highness the Crown Prince ca. He took Master Hui Zhen away and we couldn’t stop him. The Crown Prince also left a ssage for Miss Liu, asking her to go and see him.”
Yu Shilai gritted his teeth angrily.
The Crown Prince was the future emperor. It was easy for him to take soone away. If he did not give them a chance to interrogate Hui Zhen, the case would remain unresolved.
Hui Zhen had already been taken away, leaving behind only the Daoist nuns of Suzhai Pavilion.
Wei Shilai felt a little guilty. “Miss Liu, what should we do now?”
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “I’ll go to see the crown prince tomorrow.”
Wei Shilai frowned. “Miss Liu.”
It was obvious that the crown prince was up to no good. Wasn’t Liu Sanniang putting herself in danger by going there?
However, when he saw the calm look on Liu Sanniang’s face, he knew that she had made up her mind and he could not stop her.
Wei Shilai sighed. “Miss Liu, be careful.”
After Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan left the Xuanyi Departnt, Wei Shilai looked at her back and sighed. He did not know where Liu Sanniang got her courage to go against the crown prince.
“Lord, that thing has been brought back from Suzhai Pavilion. How can we let her take it away? This won’t do.”
Seeing Liu Sanniang walk away with the thing, soone lowered his eyes and said.
Wei Shilai glanced at him and said coldly, “I don’t care who you work for. Since you are not loyal to , you will get the punishnt you deserve. You’ll be flogged 100 tis.”
Since he was appointed by the emperor to be in charge of the Xuanyi Departnt, he should have his own rights.
The subordinates were stunned. “Sir, this is not right…”
How could Wei Shilai punish them so casually?
Everyone was stunned.
Wei Shilai said even more firmly, “Not right? Do you want to go with to the palace to ask the emperor if it’s right or not?”
The subordinates lowered their heads. Of course, they did not dare to do so. The crown prince was not the emperor yet.
If the emperor found out they were spies whom the crown prince planted, the emperor wouldn’t let them off.
