The vicious female supporting role is reborn to create everyone equally

The emperor was stunned, and immediately stood up and asked, "What's wrong with Kun'er?"

The little palace maid sobbed, but fortunately she could speak clearly. In a few words, she told Min Shu what happened outside the city. At the same time, she looked at Min Shu and said, "The only thing that can save the fifth prince now is the bone-renewing and muscle-regenerating pills that the Immortal Master from afar made earlier!"

The Emperor: "Then hurry up and get it!"

Little palace maid: "The immortal master in the distance said that there are no more..."

The emperor looked at Min Shu instantly.

Min Shu said calmly, "Your Majesty, I used the herbs in the Imperial Master's Mansion to refine the bone-repairing and muscle-regenerating pills. There were only seventeen pills in total. I gave all the pills away as apology gifts and didn't keep any of them. And now there are no herbs in the Imperial Master's Mansion. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can directly look through the Imperial Master's Mansion's records of the expenditure of herbs."

Jin Shui also said, "Your Majesty, I can prove that what Junior Sister said is true. The bone-reinforcing and muscle-regenerating pills she made originally contained a herb called Yuanlan, which is a specialty plant of a small country in the south. A batch is only delivered at the end of each year. Now there is really no more in the Imperial Master's Mansion."

With the guarantee of proximity to water, the emperor believed what Min Shu said.

He quickly reacted and said, "Since seventeen were sent from afar, there must be many families in Shengjing City who received the gifts. Can't we be flexible and ask for them back from those families?"

The Right Prime Minister stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, you may not know that when the Immortal Master from afar gave me the elixir, she said that I was not allowed to give it to others. If I do, I will not be able to get any elixir she made in the future."

The emperor frowned.

Min Shu said, "Master told me that elixirs are only given to those who are destined to receive them. If the market price is raised and elixirs become something that everyone fights for at a high price, it will actually harm cultivation. That's why I said this."

The emperor couldn't refute this.

Because the national teacher gave him the elixir because he was the "destined one".

The emperor also liked his identity as the destined one.

This symbolizes that his status as the Son of Heaven was granted by Heaven, and also implies that he has the help of the imperial teacher and is destined to live longer.

The emperor was silent for a long time before he said, "Things have their priorities, and people have their preferences. I'm sure some people would rather save a life than take a pill."

The little palace maid was as if she had been pardoned. She kowtowed, expressed her gratitude, and ran away immediately.

Min Shu did not comment on this.

The injury of the fifth prince was just an episode, and an episode that was very unlucky for the emperor, and it should have just passed.

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice brought up the matter of the Fifth Prince's injury again, saying, "Your Majesty, the place where the Fifth Prince was injured outside the city is only a mountain away from the village where the witnesses were killed. I think we should send people from the Demon Subduing Division to check it out. Maybe we can get clues about the monster without leaving the city."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of discussion in the hall.

"Yes, if the Fifth Prince got into trouble at this time, he might have been attacked by a monster!"

"The maid just now said that the Fifth Prince was scratched from his right shoulder to his left chest, leaving the bones visible. This is somewhat similar to the way the monster injured people."

"Your Majesty! I second the proposal to have the Director of the Demon Subduing Department go visit the Fifth Prince and look for clues about the monsters!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

The ministers in the palace reached a consensus instantly.

The emperor did not hesitate for too long and nodded quickly: "Zhang Yang, you and the Minister of Justice take people to the Fifth Prince."

He thought for a moment, then said, "Qingfeng, take your fellow apprentices to have a look as well."

Qingfeng and others agreed, and Minshu did not refuse either.

The group quickly left the palace.

After leaving the palace, everyone found that Shengjing City was already in chaos.

News of a monster attack outside the city came from nowhere.

The people were in a panic. Not only did the peddlers and hawkers pack up their stalls early and crowd into the places where people bought rice and grain, but even some prominent families sent their servants to buy grain.

Along the way, one could only see grain carts coming and going and people in a hurry.

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice said solemnly: "If this continues, Shengjing City will be in chaos."

The Director of the Demon-Suppressing Department also had a gloomy expression.

However, their concerns about the future of Shengjing City were soon distracted by another matter.

"Master Xu! If you are willing to give up your bone-renewing and muscle-regenerating pill, our Shangshu Mansion will definitely remember your great kindness!"

"Open the door! We are from the palace of Concubine Shu. How dare you, a mere official, block us out?"

"Please open the door, sir..."

Most of the people living next to the imperial city were important officials in the court. Neither the Shangshu Mansion nor the Concubine Shu went to these people to ask for elixirs.

Instead, across the North City, at the doors of some minor officials and wealthy families, people from the Shangshu Mansion and the Shufei Palace would knock on the doors every few houses.

It was just obvious that no one opened the door.

Seeing this, everyone's eyes turned to Min Shu.

The head of the Demon Subduing Department said, "The news of the monster outside the city has caused everyone in Shengjing to feel insecure. The bone-renewing and muscle-regenerating pill of Immortal Master Yuanfang has become a veritable life-saving elixir. No one would give up the pill at this time. If I had known this, I should have attended the Su family's banquet and not missed out on Immortal Master Yuanfang's elixir."

Min Shu: "If the Director goes, will he give this elixir to the Fifth Prince?"

The head of the Demon Subduing Department’s face froze.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Minister of Justice.

When he first saw Min Shu's outspoken appearance at the door of the Su family, he thought she was a person with a hot temper, but he didn't expect that she also had a sharp side.

There is something ambiguous in the words of Director Fumo, and he has ulterior motives.

It seems that he is praising the importance of the bone-renewing and muscle-regenerating pills refined by Min Shu at the moment, but in fact he is implying that she is a rare commodity and that she is responsible for the chaos in Shengjing City.

Min Shu avoided the trap in his words and directly kicked back the biggest contradiction in the matter, putting the Director of the Demon-Suppressing Department in a dilemma and afraid to speak again.

After all, if he said that he would give the elixir to the fifth prince, he might never get the elixir made by Min Shu in the future.

After all, Min Shu had said that no re-gift was allowed. No matter whether he had elixirs in his hand at the moment, as long as he expressed this intention, Min Shu had reason to refuse to give him any elixirs.

People are born, grow old, get sick and die.

How could he dare to bet that he wouldn't have to ask Min Shu for help in the future?

If he dares to say no.

His career as the Director of the Demon-Suppressing Department ended there.

Not only that, it would also offend the emperor and his concubine, and even lead to the loss of his career and his life.

The carriage fell into silence.

Fortunately, they soon arrived at the guard camp where the fifth prince was.

The entrance to the guard camp was surrounded by the Fifth Prince's guards. Fu Yin was also nearby. When he saw the carriage coming out of the palace, he immediately came forward to greet it.

"Minister Wang, Director Zhang, Immortal Master Qingfeng..."

Fu Yin greeted everyone one by one, but before he could finish his words, the director of the Demon Subduing Department grabbed his arm.

He stared at Fu Yin with a sharp gaze, as if he was interrogating the most vicious criminal: "Wu'an Hou Shizi, why do you smell like the magic powder?"
