"Not yet... No..." Cheng Yifan said with a guilty conscience.
After all, time was a little too urgent. He refined the third-grade elixir five times in a row, and it took too much energy. On the one hand, he was really tired and wanted to rest. On the other hand, he also felt that after the third lady cheated to death, it would take a few days for him to wait.
There is no antidote for poison, and no one would be willing to give it to his mother if he changed it? What if the male god thinks he is unreliable because of this?
The villain in Cheng Yifan's heart was already beating his chest, and it was his fault that he was not thinking carefully. He should have refined the antidote together!
"thanks."
"What?" Cheng Yifan asked dumbly.
"I say thank you." Gu Jingchen felt a little funny, so he reached out and rubbed his head.
This little junior brother, even though he has grown so much taller, looks more mature, but Xingzi is a child after all, and it is strangely cute.
Cheng Yifan's heart was like a volcanic eruption. ! Oh my god...the male god touched his head...
The big bold characters like a bullet screen floated over and over in Cheng Yifan's mind, and his whole person was about to float with joy.
Seeing that the younger brother started to wander again, Gu Jingchen shook his head helplessly, dragged him out of the quiet room, and walked all the way downstairs.
Cheng Yifan slowly regained his sanity on the way downstairs in a daze. Seeing the hands that the two held together, he wanted to scream up to the sky. If he wasn't afraid of scaring the male god, he really wanted to rush out for a few laps. Mom, today is such a good day!
Going downstairs, Gu Jingchen settled the rental fee for the quiet room for Cheng Yifan, and dragged him towards the restaurant.
"I-Aren't we going back to the inn?"
"Let's go to dinner first, you must not have eaten since yesterday, right?"
Not to mention it's okay, as soon as he mentioned eating, Cheng Yifan's stomach immediately began to protest, and he murmured for a while, making him embarrassed. Fortunately, he is now a martial artist, and his physique is many times stronger than in the past. After missing a few meals, he will not feel hungry all over.
Gu Jingchen couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, dragged people into the restaurant and ordered a table of dishes. Cheng Yifan was worried about his image in front of the male god at first, but when the food came to the table, he couldn't control himself at all.
"Eat more." Gu Jingchen kept serving him with a smile in his eyes. Seeing that he was eating without raising his head, he was so hungry that he didn't feel any disgust at all, he just thought it was funny, and a few more. Unexplainable distress.
distressed? Gu Jingchen himself was stunned, but on second thought, Cheng Yifan probably stayed up all night in order to refine these elixir for him. After all, he was just a child. It seems normal for him to feel distressed... right?
After Cheng Yifan had eaten and drank enough, he finally realized that he wanted to maintain his image. He hurriedly wiped the food residue from his mouth with his sleeve, hung his head in annoyance, and fanned his big ears inwardly.
Gu Jingchen rubbed his head again funny, got up and went to checkout.
After the two returned to the inn, Gong Yao and Yun Fan had already waited until their necks were about to grow.
"You guys are finally back! How's the medicine refining going?" They can't blame them for focusing only on medicine, because they just got the news, the monarch just vomited blood again, and there were flying dogs in the imperial city. For a while.
They estimate that the monarch is running out of time. If they don't hurry up, once the monarch dies, not to mention the battle between the eldest prince and the seventh prince, the battle between the crown prince and the seventh prince will definitely be full of trouble, and they say that the poisonous woman surnamed Yang will definitely come out. turbulent. The last thing they wanted to see was that Gu Jingchen and the third wife Lin were involved.
After hearing their news, Cheng Yifan hurriedly took out the three bottles of elixir that he had just refined, and briefly explained his thoughts to them.
"You can do it, Xiaofan!" Yun Fan patted him on the shoulder in surprise, "This is a really good idea! Taking advantage of the monarch's death to pretend to be 'suicide', there is no better way to escape. This is the way to go! For the sake of her son's throne, the poisonous woman surnamed Yang can't do anything, but must give Aunt Lin a decent treatment. When Aunt Lin's 'coffin' leaves the imperial city, we will have the opportunity to take her rescue!"
"That's right!" Gong Yao was also very happy, so they wouldn't have to risk breaking into the imperial city and desperately rob people.
"But there are only two bottles of Xuyan San, so at most two people can sneak into the imperial city this time."
"Senior Brother Gu must go, the rest..." Yun Fan rolled his eyes and said, "In terms of force, Gong Yao and I can go anywhere, but I don't know why, I always feel that Xiaofan, you go. would be more appropriate."
"I think so too! Xiaofan, you are not only smart, you are also a spiritual planter, and you can help your senior brother better." Gong Yao also agreed.
Both of them are not people who are greedy for life and fear of death. They say this because they are really confident in Cheng Yifan. Even though he is young, he has a lot of tricks and can be very useful at critical moments.
Cheng Yifan did not refuse, he was actually very willing to save his mother with Senior Brother Gu.
That is his future 'mother-in-law'...
Cheng Yifan thought so shamelessly in his heart.
Now that it has been decided, the two have decided that it is not too late and will act tonight. Gong Yao and Yun Fan had observed it last night. The soldiers in the Imperial City would change their defenses once in the evening, and that would be the best time for them to act.
Because they were not sure about the efficacy and duration of Xuyan San, the two decided to find the nearest place near the imperial city, and then use the elixir when the defending soldiers changed their defenses.
Chapter 115 In the Imperial City
The so-called Imperial City is the inner city in Yingbei City. It is the place where the royal family lives. It has a symbolic meaning of superiority. In Cheng Yifan's view, it is similar to the concept of the ancient Forbidden City, just with a different name.
Cheng Yifan also changed into a black suit, which made it easier for them to move under the cover of the night.
Before leaving, Cheng Yifan changed the medicine for Gu Jingchen's left hand again, and after it was firmly fixed with a splint, he came to the periphery of the imperial city with him.
Under the cover of the night, the two came to an inaccessible alley outside the imperial city. Cheng Yifan was the first to use Xuyan Powder. Although this was the first time he had refined the elixir, what kind of effect could it play? It's not clear, but he is very confident in this medicine, not only because of his self-confidence, but also because of his trust in the system.
As soon as the smoke scattered on his body, an illusory purple mist spread in the air, and soon Cheng Yifan's figure merged with the darkness, and even the breath completely disappeared, as if no one was standing here just now. Gu Jingchen couldn't help but stretched out his hand and touched Cheng Yifan's direction. He just hit the itch in Cheng Yifan's waist, which made him tremble and let out a suppressed whimper.
The voice made Gu Jingchen's heart tremble, but his attention was quickly diverted. He understood that the elixir could indeed make people invisible to them, but their bodies still existed, so when they acted, they had to be very careful. Be careful to avoid making noise and rubbing against anyone or anything.
But unexpectedly, Cheng Yifan's elixir was only half sprinkled, and he was already invisible, so the remaining half, Cheng Yifan fell on Gu Jingchen's body. That's great to save a bottle for when they leave the Imperial City.
Soon Gu Jingchen also became invisible, and the two also invisible people couldn't see each other. In desperation, they had to grope and hold hands, and went to the entrance of the imperial city together.
In order not to get separated and not be discovered, they had to stick tightly. Gu Jingchen held Cheng Yifan's hand firmly in front of him, and Cheng Yifan followed behind. Both of them held their breath, crept close to the guards, squatted by the wall and waited quietly for the time to switch defenses.
Fortunately, their timing was accurate, and it didn't take long for the soldiers to switch defenses to arrive.
The two teams of soldiers switched positions as usual, and Gu Jingchen immediately pulled Cheng Yifan and carefully moved into the city gate step by step from the folder.
After successfully entering the city gate, the layout of the imperial city is not unfamiliar to Gu Jingchen. After all, he was once a prince and lived in this place, so he directly pulled Cheng Yifan towards the place where his mother lived. go.
It's just that they don't know how long the elixir on their bodies can keep them invisible, so they are still very careful in their actions, picking up places and paths where no one is there along the way.
It's just that when he walked towards the 'Fanghuaju' where his mother lived, he was surprised to find that he was getting desolate and secluded as he walked. When he saw that the 'Fanghuaju' was actually covered with dust and spider webs, apparently uncleaned and uninhabited for a long time, he could hardly restrain the anger and anxiety in his heart.
Cheng Yifan's palm was painfully pinched by Gu Jingchen, but he didn't dare to say a word, so he could only pat the back of his hand lightly with his other hand to show comfort.
Only then did Gu Jingchen slowly relax and consider whether to go in and investigate.
At this time, two maids snuggled out of a wall, holding a lantern in their hands, and sneakily poking around outside Fanghuaju, seeing no one around, did they dodge into Fanghuaju .
These two maids are probably the late stage of the body quenching realm, and they are not worth mentioning in the eyes of Cheng Yifan and Gu Jingchen. The two of them squeezed each other's palms at the same time and went in together.
I saw the two maids flicking left and right, and went directly into the main hall. Seeing that the main hall was empty, there was nothing. They snorted disdainfully, entered the inner room again, and started tossing through boxes and cabinets. A gold hairpin was pulled out from the folder under the dusty bed, which Gu Jingchen recognized as the jewelry that his mother once wore.
"Hmph, that woman is sensible and didn't lie to my aunt." A maid snorted coldly and put away the golden hairpin.
"It's shabby enough. She's still a lady, and she's not as good as a maid." Another maid complained.
"Who made her offend the eldest lady? She was born with a charming face, and even if the monarch fell ill, she still remembered her. How could the eldest lady not hold grudges? She just moved her to Yixiang Garden, and did not degrade her as a The maid is already very good."
"What kind of place is Yixiang Garden? It's the most remote yard in the entire imperial city. It's cold and out of place. I heard it's haunted! It's unfortunate that the two of us are separated by the eldest lady to look after her!"
"Forget it, this hairpin is in good condition, and she can sell several low-grade spirit crystals after changing hands. Finally, she will be in trouble."
At this time, Cheng Yifan and Gu Jingchen already understood that the "she" in the mouths of the two maids meant Gu Jingchen's mother Lin.It seems that Mrs. Lin was hated by Mrs. Yang and was forced to move to Yixiang Garden. These two maids were sent by Mrs. Yang to 'take care' of Mrs. Lin!
While the two were talking, they picked up the lantern and started walking back.
Gu Jingchen suppressed his anger and followed behind them with Cheng Yifan.
This Yixiang Garden is indeed very remote. With the footsteps of their warriors, they have walked almost as much as a stick of incense.There were also two waves of patrolling soldiers passing by on the road, but they found nothing unusual.
They followed them all the way to Yixiang Garden, and found that it was only a very small two-entry courtyard. Several soldiers were guarding outside Yixiang Garden. When they saw the two maids coming, they greeted them.
