A recruitment notice was posted at the entrance of the clinic, and because the salary was high, seven or eight people were found quickly.

Cheng Jiuyuan divided these people into groups of two and arranged them in four locations, asking them to be responsible for different stages of pharmaceutical production.

When one stage is completed, the semi-finished product will be delivered to the person in charge of the next stage. Hibiscus and Isatis personally participate in one of the production links, and this is also done to prevent the prescription from leaking.

Cheng Jiuyuan was not afraid that someone would use the prescription to make pills, but was afraid that someone would use it to make huge profits. Moreover, this was imported stuff, and if it was not strictly mixed, something bad would happen.

In this way, the output has indeed increased a lot, and Cheng Jiuyuan is not so busy. She only needs to check whether the pills are up to standard.

That day, Chu Heng and Cheng Jiuyuan came back from outside and saw from afar two masters fighting in the sky above Prince Chen's Mansion.

The two were startled and used their lightness skills to rush to the palace.

Finally, the two of them landed in front of the mansion gate and looked up at the two people fighting fiercely in the air.

It was called a fight, but in fact it was her master who was attacking unilaterally and the opponent was just forced to defend.

"They're finally chasing us." Cheng Jiuyuan looked up and sighed softly.

"I'm really not used to seeing Master Wuwang with hair." Chu Heng smiled.

"Is he preparing to return to secular life?"

"He thought Master Yan was dead, and he became a monk out of despair. Now that he found out that Master Yan is not dead, it is possible that he will return to secular life."

The sound of fighting quickly attracted a lot of people, and those who didn't know Master Wuwang looked anxious.

"Your Highness, why don't you send someone to help Master Yan?"

Master Zhu looked at the man, his eyes narrowed, and his face was full of thought: "Why does this man look so familiar?"

"It looks familiar to me, but I just can't remember where it is." Mu Zhuo's face was full of thought.

Master Zhu slapped his thigh and said, "Isn't this Master Wuwang with long hair?"

Mu Zhuo and the others' faces turned pale, "It's him! Why did he come to Liping in disguise? Was he sent by the imperial court?"

Master Wuwang was a high-ranking monk in the Huguo Temple, specializing in performing rituals for the royal family.

Those who were unaware of the grudge between Wuwang and Yan Guihong suddenly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Chu Heng quickly comforted him: "It's okay, Master Wuwang left Huguo Temple a long time ago. He appeared in Liping to look for an old friend."

"Old friend?"

At this moment, the two men faced each other in the air, and both stepped back several steps, standing on both sides of the roof.

"Old bald donkey, what on earth do you want to do?"

"Junior sister, I just want to make it up to you."

"No need!" Yan Guihong refused very straightforwardly.

"Junior sister..." Lu Congwen's face was full of disappointment and helplessness.

Yan Guihong ignored him and flew down.

Lu Congwen also flew down and everyone hurriedly greeted him.

"Master Wuwang."

Lu Congwen said: "I am no longer Master Wuwang, my real name is Lu Congwen."

When everyone heard this, they thought this was really a return to the secular world.

At this moment, Shan Lan came hurriedly: "Master!"

Chu Heng looked at him: "What's the matter?"

"The imperial court sent an envoy! I heard it's Shangguan Huai's nephew."

"Envoy?" Mu Zhuo's face changed drastically.

"Liping is developing so well, the news will sooner or later reach the capital. I'm afraid Chu Ze can't sit still, so he sent people to find out what's going on." Cheng Jiuyuan frowned.

"What should we do?"

"How about we let him have an 'accident' on the way so that he can't reach Liping?"

Chu Heng shook his head: "If this one is gone, he will send another one. It is impossible for accidents to happen every time. This will arouse more suspicion."

Cheng Jiuyuan said calmly: "It doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't find out the secrets of the emperor and the mountain, it doesn't matter if he knows the rest. It's just that the fiefdom has improved, so although he is a little bit afraid, he won't take any action."

Pei Xuan said: "But we still have to be prepared just in case."

Yan Guihong, who had planned to disappear tonight, stopped.

If a war really breaks out, she will have to stay and lend a helping hand to her disciple.

She glanced at Lu Congwen, who was one step away from her. He was also a good helper, so she just had to bear with it a little.

But she also didn't want this person to be around all day, as that would drive her crazy.

She stepped back in front of Chu Heng, who looked at her suspiciously: "Master, what advice do you have?"

"Do you need someone who is proficient in marching and deploying troops?"

Chu Heng's eyes lit up: "Master knows?"

"I can't, but he can." Yan Guihong looked at Lu Congwen.

Lu Congwen stepped forward and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I will."

Chu Heng looked at Lu Congwen: "Then Wuwang... Brother Lu, are you willing to go into the mountains to train the soldiers?"

Lu Congwen was not yet forty years old, and he looked young and handsome, so it was not appropriate to call him uncle or aunt, so Chu Heng finally called him "big brother".

Lu Congwen looked at Yan Guihong, and before he could answer, Yan Guihong answered for him: "He is willing."

Send him into the mountains, out of her sight.

"Whatever Junior Sister says is what it goes." Lu Congwen's face was full of doting and his tone was gentle.

Master Zhu and Mu Zhuo were watching from the side and felt that the person in front of them could not be Master Wuwang.

Master Wuwang has an immortal demeanor, no desires, and is very aloof. How could he be the guy in front of him who gives people goosebumps?

Chu Heng said happily: "Then Brother Lu will follow me into the mountains tomorrow."

Lu Congwen nodded.

Yan Guihong threw away his troubles, curled his lips with satisfaction, turned and went into the mansion, and Lu Congwen hurriedly followed.

Yan Guihongyun took floating steps and threw Lu Congwen away.

"Junior sister!" Lu Congwen used his lightness skills to catch up with her.

The two of them were chasing and hiding in Prince Chen's mansion. Their figures almost became shadows as they flashed past the servant who was carrying tea, leaving the servant confused.

"Was it windy just now?"

……

Inside the Ningshou Palace in the capital, Empress Dowager Shangguan was reclining on the imperial concubine couch, surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs serving her.

She was dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, embroidered with exquisite patterns outlined in gold thread. Every stitch and every thread showed the ultimate luxury.

She opened her mouth slightly, and the handsome waiter beside her was pinching a crystal clear purple grape and gently putting it into her mouth.

The male servant's eyes were gentle and flattering, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, these grapes were just delivered as tribute today. They are very sweet."

Empress Dowager Shangguan chewed grapes, her eyes narrowed, and she was enjoying it very much, with a satisfied smile on her lips.

The palace maids under the couch held peacock feather fans and fanned them gently, bringing a slight breeze.

Several eunuchs respectfully held up a golden tray filled with various rare snacks and fruits.

The whole palace is filled with an atmosphere of decadence and decadence, as if all the disputes in the outside world have nothing to do with this place. There is only endless enjoyment and laziness here.

As soon as Chu Ze came in from court, he saw this scene and said coldly, "Get out!"

The male servant bowed quickly, bent over and quickly retreated.

The Queen Mother sat up slowly, waved her hand, and the eunuch followed her down.

"Why are you so angry?" The Queen Mother asked casually, straightening her clothes slowly.

"Mother, have you ordered the construction of a temporary palace?"

"Yes, the previous palace was so dilapidated, so what's wrong with rebuilding it?"

She suddenly looked up, frowned and said, "Is this what you're angry about?" There was a hint of displeasure in her voice.

"I have just ascended the throne and want to do something to show off to the officials and the people. Money is needed everywhere. Does my mother have to build a palace at this time? Not to mention the waste of money and manpower, what do other people think of your current behavior?"

"I don't care what they think. Do they dare to say anything to me? I have endured for decades. I have endured the departure of Lin Nanyin, Wei Lingyi, and your father. I have finally made it. I don't have to look at other people's faces or hide my desires! My son is the Son of Heaven. Who dares to say anything!"

Chu Ze just felt a headache: "Mother, do you know how many people in the court are dissatisfied with me? And the Shangguan family, each of them is troublesome, how is it different from the Wei family back then?"

"The Wei family can be arrogant, so why can't my Shangguan family? If you don't obey me, I will kill you."

Chu Ze looked at her in shock, feeling so strange.

The considerate mother from before is gone.

There really are no normal people in this palace.

Shangguan Huan just felt that the mountains pressing down on her were gone. From now on, she could do whatever she wanted. Who dared to say anything?

"Instead of embarrassing your mother here, you might as well go and embarrass Chu Heng. I heard that he has run Liping very successfully. Your opponent is Chu Heng. Only when he is gone can you rest assured."

Chu Ze said in a muffled voice: "I have already sent people to Liping."

Empress Dowager Shangguan admired her armor with a look of delight.

"I have ordered the construction of the temporary palace to be stopped."

Shangguan Huan's expression suddenly changed: "You!"

"Queen Mother, please restrain yourself and stop bringing those questionable people into the palace!"

After saying this, Chu Ze flicked his sleeves and left.

Shangguan Huan was so angry that she smashed all the snacks on the table.

She had finally survived the old emperor's death, so what was wrong with having a few lovers?

Hearing the sound of cups breaking behind him, Chu Ze felt a headache.

There are so many internal and external troubles now, and no one can be worry-free.
