Chapter 390 Familiar Palace

"How strange!"

Doctor Xue looked at the black lotus seed with a crack in the wooden barrel and shook his head.

Listening to Doctor Xue's amazement, Li Xuan was speechless.

I heard him say "Just wait and see" so calmly before, and thought he had expected the current result, but he was shocked himself.

"Doctor Xue, is this abnormal?"

Zhao Feng asked on the side.

"It's not abnormal, and it even makes sense."

"Originally, it is common sense to cultivate natural treasures in an environment with the same source of power."

"But if it is explained by the principle that the cathode produces the yang and the anode produces the yin, it makes sense."

"It's just that such natural treasures are extremely rare, but the Ziwu Twin Lotus is a mutation, which is indeed in line with reason."

Doctor Xue was calm before, but it was just because he was doing an experiment.

His purpose was to observe the results of the experiment. Even if the lotus seed was cooked in the wooden barrel, it was also a result, and Doctor Xue just recorded it truthfully.

However, the result was completely beyond Doctor Xue's expectations.

But Doctor Xue was experienced and quickly found a reasonable explanation.

While they were talking, a hint of green slowly emerged from the crack on the lotus seed.

But this hint of green only stretched out to the length of a finger, and then stagnated and no longer changed.

"Oh, has it reached its limit?"

Doctor Xue muttered to himself, and then he took a ladle from somewhere, scooped some water from the Sun-Fire Pond and added it to the wooden barrel.

As the water was added, the green buds on the black lotus seed in the wooden barrel grew a little longer, almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.

No matter how much water Doctor Xue added later, the black lotus seed no longer had the same violent reaction as before.

"It seems that it will take time to settle." Doctor Xue scooped the lotus seeds out of the wooden barrel with a ladle, and then observed carefully, then sat cross-legged on the ground and recorded something in the booklet.

Li Xuan and Zhao Feng watched from the side and could not help much.

It can be seen that Doctor Xue was very serious in his research and completely ignored the existence of the man and cat beside him.

After a long time, Doctor Xue stood up from the ground, holding a water scoop filled with black lotus seeds in his hand.

"General Manager Zhao, I have some ideas."

"For the next cultivation, I am afraid that we need to use the water from the Sun and Moon Yin and Yang Pond to draw out two lotus ponds. I wonder if it is feasible?"

In response to Doctor Xue's request, Zhao Feng immediately replied: "This matter needs to be reported to Your Majesty, and maybe I can reply to Doctor Xue tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

The two old men talked politely and finalized the next things.

It seems that Doctor Xue has already had the idea of ​​cultivating Ziwu Twin Lotus, and he seems to be full of confidence and in a good mood.

Today's experiment ends here, and Zhao Feng sends Li Xuan and Doctor Xue out of Yuqing Pond.

The subsequent cultivation requires a special lotus pond to be drawn out. Li Xuan and Doctor Xue agreed to come to Yuqing Pond for the next experiment.

After agreeing on the next experiment, Doctor Xue returned to the Imperial Hospital on his own, while Li Xuan climbed onto Zhao Feng's shoulder and wandered around the palace with him.

Li Xuan still had something to ask Zhao Feng.

"What exactly is the formation under the pool?"

Li Xuan used his tail to write on Zhao Feng's raised palm.

"I can only say that it is the key to making the Sun Moon Yin Yang Pool special."

"Ah Xuan, you have cultivated the Yin Yang Qi, so you should know more than me."

Zhao Feng gave Li Xuan an unfathomable look and did not elaborate on this topic.

It seems that the formation under the Sun Moon Yin Yang Pool is not a topic that can be discussed casually.

Even with Zhao Feng's identity, he cannot reveal it to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan frowned when he heard this.

Zhao Feng did not give Li Xuan any information at all, but pointed out a key point to him.

"I, who has cultivated the Yin-Yang Qi, should know more than Old Zhao?"

Li Xuan chewed on this sentence again and again, and vaguely had a guess:

"It was Emperor Yongyuan who asked me to come. He is guiding me to explore the secrets of the Sun and Moon Yin-Yang Pond."

Dr. Xue originally proposed to conduct a cultivation experiment of the Ziwu Twin Lotus in the Sun and Moon Yin-Yang Pond. At that time, Emperor Yongyuan's condition was that Li Xuan had to accompany him throughout the experiment.

Originally, this kind of thing was not Li Xuan's specialty. He was just a kitten, and it was okay for him to eat those natural treasures, but how could he know anything about cultivation?

Emperor Yongyuan asked Li Xuan to accompany him throughout the whole process, and naturally he had his intention.

Judging from the current results, Li Xuan was extremely curious about the formation under the water pond and had already begun to explore it.

"But why didn't Emperor Yongyuan say it directly?"

"Or does he not know much?"

Li Xuan blinked and fell into thought.

Zhao Feng looked at Li Xuan on his shoulder and fell into deep thought. He didn't say much and walked towards the Ministry of Internal Affairs on his own.

"Ah Xuan, I have to get back to work."

"What about you?"

"Do you need me to take you out of the palace?"

Zhao Feng asked Li Xuan.

Li Xuan shook his head. It was rare for him to return to the palace. He wanted to take a walk for a while before going back, and he also had things to do.

"Where's the carriage?"

Li Xuan looked around and found that the carriage was not nearby.

"It's parked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When you go back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, tell me and I'll send someone to take you back with the carriage."

Although Li Xuan could also take the carriage back by himself, it would inevitably shock the world and cause a stir on the way out of the palace.

Such troubles should be avoided as much as possible.

After Li Xuan agreed to come to Zhao Feng later, he jumped onto the wall from his shoulder and ran away.

Zhao Feng looked at Li Xuan's small back and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.

...

Li Xuan first went back to Jingyang Palace and found that there was a lot of construction going on here, and many craftsmen were busy here.

The general framework of Jingyang Palace has not been moved much, but every part is undergoing large-scale renovation.

The belongings in Jingyang Palace have long been hidden in Li Xuan's Emperor Hong bone ring, and nothing is left here.

Fortunately, the space of Emperor Hong bone ring is large enough, as long as it is the three little ones' things, whether it is clothes, bedding, or pots and pans, they are put in first.

As for the materials currently stored in Jingyang Palace, they are first transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for temporary storage, and then moved back after the renovation of Jingyang Palace is completed.

Moreover, Princess Ankang mentioned to the craftsmen at that time that she hoped that a large enough warehouse could be built to store these materials during this renovation.

The children are also afraid of poverty, and they are afraid that they will run out of food one day, so they have developed a hoarding habit unknowingly.

Li Xuan can understand this very well.

Looking at the busy scene in Jingyang Palace, Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

When they come back again, Jingyang Palace will definitely be brand new.

"I just wonder if Jingyang Palace will still be considered a cold palace?"

After Li Xuan knew why Concubine Xiao and Princess Ankang entered Jingyang Palace, he couldn't help but start thinking about this question.

On the one hand, although Li Xuan hated Emperor Yongyuan's incompetence, on the other hand, he could understand that this was the best way for Emperor Yongyuan to protect Concubine Xiao and Princess Ankang at that time.

"But living like that, not being able to see each other again, is it considered protection..."

Li Xuan was picked up by Princess Ankang in a rainstorm in the summer, and Concubine Xiao died of illness before winter.

Although Li Xuan spent a short time with Concubine Xiao, he was deeply impressed by her.

She was the most gentle woman in the world. Although her temperament was always a little gloomy, she always smiled in front of Princess Ankang and Li Xuan, and spoke to them in a doting tone.

Li Xuan remembered Concubine Xiao who entrusted Princess Ankang to him at the sickbed, and couldn't help but smile gently.

"How can you entrust your daughter to a little kitten?"

"Empress Xiao, you are such a strange person."

Even emperors can be weak or strong.

Li Xuan estimated that with the start of Emperor Yongyuan at that time, he was able to hold on until now. In addition to the loyal old servants, he had to thank his uncle who was more shameless.

If his powerful uncle, the regent, had no shame, Emperor Yongyuan would have been driven off the throne long ago.

Li Xuan looked at the renovated Jingyang Palace for a while and recalled many memories of the past.

He was about to go to the next place, but he saw a sneaky eunuch squatting in a dark corner.

Behind the eunuch was a large sack, bulging, and no one knew what was in it.

But looking at the nervous expression of the eunuch, it was probably not a good thing.

"Strange face?"

Jingyang Palace was originally located in a remote area, and there were not many people nearby. Li Xuan could naturally tell at a glance that this eunuch was in this area for the first time.

Although the Jingyang Palace was under renovation, this eunuch was obviously not here to work.

"What are you doing?"

"There's no one at home, and yet someone is here to do something?"

Li Xuan saw that this eunuch didn't look like a good person, so he immediately came to the wall near this guy to see what he was going to do.

The eunuch with the sack on his back squatted in the corner for a while, then went deep into the alley, and then climbed over the wall at the end of the wall.

This was a corner of the Jingyang Palace that had not yet been renovated. It was also sparsely populated at this time, and no one noticed the eunuch who broke in.

Li Xuan followed behind for a while, and also heard the rustling sound from the sack, knowing that there were some small creatures inside.

"Damn, why do these guys always like to play this trick."

Li Xuan pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a bored expression.

The eunuch touched his way to the well in the yard. Yu'er used to wash dishes and clothes here, and Li Xuan always took a bath here.

After the eunuch arrived at the place, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to untie the sack he had carried.

How could Li Xuan, who had followed him all the way, let him do as he wished?

The moment the eunuch opened the sack, Li Xuan descended from the sky, his tail infused with true energy, turned into a hard stick, knocked the man unconscious, and then slipped into the sack smoothly, and tied the sack's opening intimately.

Li Xuan only glanced into the sack and saw many familiar friends, the classic four brothers of snakes, insects, rats and ants.

"Is there anyone in the palace buying wholesale?"

"These little things are densely packed in a sack. How long will it take me to catch them?"

Li Xuan shook his head in disdain and easily lifted the sack with his tail.

He lifted it high so that it would not drag on the ground.

Otherwise, if the sack was torn, it would be troublesome.

"How about taking it to give the brothers a snack?"

As soon as this thought came up, Li Xuan shook his head.

"Forget it, life is better now, we can't always eat these improved meals."

Snakes and mice are easy to deal with, they are also small snacks for cats, but insects and ants are not easy to deal with, and they are wasted.

Moreover, Maoba and his friends have always eaten meat recently, so they may not be interested in these.

After thinking about it, Li Xuan decided to give it to Zhao Feng and let him solve this little trouble.

And he also wanted to see who was living uncomfortably and came to trouble their Jingyang Palace.

Arriving at Jingyang Palace, Li Xuan found Zhao Feng very quickly.

Seeing Li Xuan go back so quickly, Zhao Feng was also curious, but he was more curious about the sack he brought.

Li Xuan briefly recounted what happened before, and Zhao Feng immediately understood.

"I know, Xuan."

"I know who did it."

Zhao Feng's expression seemed a little helpless.

"Oh? What's going on?"

Li Xuan asked.

"Some time ago, Concubine Zhang went to Wuning Palace, which is the Queen's bedroom."

"But I heard that when Concubine Zhang returned to Qingshu Palace, she was very angry and smashed a lot of things."

"According to my information, the Queen seems to have rejected a proposal from Concubine Zhang."

"But I don't know the specific content of the proposal."

"But I think it has something to do with your Jingyang Palace."

Zhao Feng's words made Li Xuan's heart move, but he didn't say anything on his face.

"I'm afraid this matter is also the work of Concubine Zhang."

Zhao Feng looked at the sack and added:

"It's very likely that she personally instructed it."

It's really that the means in front of him were too clumsy, making it difficult for Zhao Feng to believe that it was done by the Fourth Prince.

Moreover, he had warned the Fourth Prince before.

Zhao Feng didn't believe that the Fourth Prince would do such a move that almost provoked the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Zhao Feng felt that the probability that Concubine Zhang got angry was still the highest.

Even the Fourth Prince didn't have time to stop it.

Zhao Feng sighed. Anyway, the person was here, and he would know the truth immediately.

But before the interrogation, he had already made a rough inference in his mind.

And just at this moment, a terrified scream came from the sack, and it was obvious that the person inside had woken up.

Li Xuan was afraid of beating people to death before, so he kept a lot of strength.

Moreover, the eunuch in the sack also had cultivation, but he had no resistance in front of Li Xuan who practiced Yin and Yang Qi.

Hearing the movement in the sack, Zhao Feng raised his hand lightly, and the scream in the sack disappeared immediately, but the rustling sound was still there, obviously the little guys were still active.

"Ah Xuan, leave this matter to me."

"At least, it can make Qingshu Palace quiet for a while."

"If Concubine Zhang is not rational again, the Zhang family will pay the price."

Zhao Feng smiled slightly, as if he was happy to see this result.

Li Xuan is no longer surprised by Concubine Zhang, this crazy woman.

Li Xuan sometimes couldn't figure out how Concubine Zhang, who was so abnormal in her mind, could raise the eldest prince's three siblings.

Apart from their different standpoints, the three siblings were pretty good people, and they had a deep brother-sister relationship and were very united.

"I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out."

Li Xuan shook his head and left the Ministry of Internal Affairs, looking forward to the Imperial Garden.

After leaving the palace, he hadn't seen the cats for a long time, and it was just right for him to come back this time to see how they were doing.

But after arriving at the Imperial Garden, Li Xuan was surprised to find that these three guys were actually taking care of a baby.

The three cats were surrounding a little kitten that hadn't opened its eyes yet. The little kitten was orange, with a few vertical lines on its forehead, like a small frown, and a large white scarf around its neck.

Looking at this little guy, Li Xuan didn't even have time to say hello, and immediately exclaimed:

"Meow? (Fat Orange, you have a child?)"
