On the way back, Menghan began to think that the green alum had found the right one, and he had already succeeded in one step. Alchemy room? Could it be that this dynasty still believes in this kind of magic? "Yuanxin, do you know what alchemy is all about?"

Yuanxin explained, "It is the Taoist who refines the pill for the emperor to eat, strengthen the body and prolong life." This is a secret in the palace, and the emperor doesn't want too many people to know, so he secretly built an alchemy room for the Taoist chief in the palace. ”

Menghan asked, "How long do you emperors generally live?" ”

"There's no fixed number, as little as twenty or thirty, as many as seventy or eighty. But this has nothing to do with the pill, because alchemy is only something that happened after the emperor came to the court, and it is probably only seven or eight years old. ”

Just rising? Menghan was thoughtful.

Yuanxin pushed her, "Why are you interested in this, you haven't thought about it yet." ”

"The business is already eyebrows," Menghan analyzed, "Hydrogen must be obtained by the reaction of iron sheets and sulfuric acid, and only green alum and water enter the alchemy room, why enter the alchemy room, it can only be heated, heated water?" It shouldn't be so much of a hassle. Then the heating is the alum. Water is supposed to produce sulfuric acid, so heating alum has only one purpose, to produce sulfur-bearing gas! And a big reason why they chose the alchemy room is that they need high temperatures, not ordinary heating. ”

Yuanxin understood a little, "Do we also have to prepare an alchemy furnace?" This one is really hard to find, and it's hard to get it to kill your head. ”

"So strict?"

"If someone with a heart sees it, joins you, and says that you practice pills privately, vainly seek the art of immortality, have bad intentions, and have ill intentions, do you think the emperor can tolerate you?"

"The art of immortality? oh，mygod。 Do you believe in such a thing? Menghan was really speechless.

Yuan Xin Yan said, "I don't believe it, but the emperor believes that the emperor does advocate immortal Tao a little bit today." ”

"Okay," Meng Han nodded in understanding, no wonder he saw the dragon and phoenix flying in the sky vividly in the sky, and happily went to help Du Ruo in person, "There is no alchemy furnace, so let's just find an iron furnace to use." ”

"Will it work?" Yuanxin was slightly skeptical.

"Dead horses should be used as live horse doctors, so I can only try this. Distill several times to improve the purity, and it should be fine. Menghan cheered himself up.

After the two of them returned home, they began to work manually, and only prepared materials in the morning. After lunch, Menghan had to rush to listen to Xuan's story, so he told Yuanxin to take care of it and went out.

Cheng Zheng saw that Yuanxin was busy in Qiushuang Courtyard, and he also came over to join in the fun. On the April day, the sun was shining, but Yuanxin was burning the iron furnace, Cheng Zheng was puzzled, "What are you doing here?" ”

Yuanxin was sweating, hurriedly took the handkerchief handed by Guo'er and wiped his sweat, and filled it with two pieces of charcoal, "Burn the stove and make sulfuric acid." ”

"Sulfuric acid?" Cheng Zheng didn't understand.

Yuanxin said impatiently, "Oh, you don't understand what I told you, you can go back and do your work." Menghan's handle didn't catch it, so he thought about who to calculate next. ”

Cheng Zheng was very annoyed when he heard Yuanxin say this, and lowered his voice and said angrily, "I have withdrawn the person who stared at Menghan, what else do you want?" ”

Yuanxin asked tentatively, "Really withdraw?" ”

"It's really withdrawn."

Yuanxin was happy and quipped, "It's not your style to believe in people so lightly." ”

Cheng Zheng rolled his eyes, "There is a basis for me to say let go, I haven't been staring at her for a day or two." ”

"I knew it."

"Okay, this matter is over, don't mention it again in the future."

Yuanxin reminded him, "I hope you do what you say." ”

Cheng Zheng said, "When did I lie to you?" ”

"High fives for vows." Yuanxin stretched out his hand with a serious face.

Cheng Zheng swept Yuanxin's charcoal-stained hands, "Who wants to high-five you." ”

Seeing Cheng Zheng turn around and leave, Yuanxin shouted behind him: "Hey, remember your words." ”

When it was nearly dusk, Cheng Zheng and Menghan finally made up sulfuric acid, and saw the fine pieces of iron dissolved in the sulfuric acid, and Menghan, who was covered with black faces, screamed and hugged the same black Yuanxin, "Yuanxin, I made sulfuric acid!" I made sulfuric acid! ”

Yuanxin patted Menghan's back, "Okay, got it." ”

Meng Han still screamed, "I'm so happy, I don't have to be killed!" I am saved, Du Ruo is saved, we are all saved! ”

"Yes, yes, they are all saved." Yuanxin tilted his head, and if he didn't dodge a little, his ears would explode.

"I'm really so lucky, saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, a kind person like me will definitely have good luck!"

"Yes, yes."

"Yuanxin, are you happy?"

"Happy, happy."

Meng Han pulled Yuanxin's hands and began to spin in circles, "Yuanxin, do you know, I made sulfuric acid?" ”

"I see." Yuanxin had no choice but to cater to Menghan, and this little aunt and grandmother were not too tired.

"Yuanxin, are you happy for me?"

"Happy, happy."

"Hahaha, Yuanxin, do you think I'm great?"

"Great."

"I, Yao Menghan, can actually save a person's life, I really feel that I am very great, I am a living Bodhisattva who saves suffering."

"Yes, Living Bodhisattva." Yuanxin pouted, it was not so exaggerated that I saved the emperor and a team of soldiers and horses when I was ten years old.

Menghan turned around many times, stopped and almost fell, was supported by Yuanxin, and the whole person collapsed in Yuanxin's arms, "Aren't you dizzy?" ”

"It's fine."

Meng Han saw that the fire in the iron furnace was still quite strong, and he was overjoyed, "Yuanxin, let's eat barbecue." ”

"Barbecue?"

"yes, barbecue. Yuliu Guo'er, you go and prepare some ingredients, cut the vegetables and meat into slices, take the washed wire and put it on, oh, forget it, I'll go myself. "Menghan is afraid that he won't be able to explain it in a few words, so I'll go out in person with this beauty." Yuanxin, you are tired of a day, go and rest for a while, wait for me to make you something to eat, wait for me. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

"Look at the fire, don't put it out." Menghan has gone far and has not forgotten to advise.

That night, Menghan, Yuanxin, Cheng Zheng, Yesterday'an, Yuliu, and Guo'er were all pulled by Menghan to Qiushuang Courtyard and sat on the ground around the stove. Menghan twisted a net with iron wire, put the prepared ingredients on top and roasted them, brushing the sauce with great interest, and the fragrance was overflowing. Everyone drank wine and ate meat, sang and danced, and talked freely, so happy. For a while, Yesterday An snatched the food in Cheng Zheng's hand, Yuanxin and Guo'er chased and fought for a while, and Menghan's freshly grilled meat was snatched up before she had time to taste it, and Yuanxin teased Menghan for a while, handed the meat to her mouth, but he bit it himself, and almost kissed Menghan's mouth. At this moment, there is no master and servant, no identity, no status, we are all the same people, enjoying this food together, enjoying this good time together.

Three days later, Menghan entered the palace as promised, and Yuanxin sent Menghan to the gate of the palace, and only let her in after some instructions, and said that he would wait for her. It took Meng Han a lot of persuasion to let Yuanxin go home, in case something delayed and let Yuanxin wait for a long time, in fact, Menghan would like to wander around the palace for a few more hours.

As soon as he entered the palace, his father-in-law greeted him, "This is the girl in the palace of Zhenxi." ”

Menghan politely greeted him, "Yes, my name is Yao Menghan." ”

"The slave Li Lu is waiting for the girl here on the order of the head of Ming'an, please come with the little one."

"There's Father-in-law Lao Li." Meng Han held a small porcelain vase in his hand, which contained sulfuric acid prepared in advance, and the two went all the way to the Imperial Garden.

Li Lu said respectfully, "Girl, please wait, the slave will go back." ”

"Father-in-law Li walks slowly."

After Li Lu left, Menghan immediately returned to his original state, and if it weren't for the sulfuric acid in his hand, he would almost jump up. O Imperial Garden, wow, here I go again! You're still so big (nonsense~), rockeries, green trees, safflowers, grass, isn't this a resort? Although Menghan was excited and wanted to run, he didn't dare to go far, the palace is heavy, be careful, and then what should I do if my little father-in-law comes back and can't find me, don't run around, just take a look around here.

Menghan was lying on a flower and smelling the fragrance, and Ming'an came over. Menghan knew that Ming An was the one who served in front of the emperor, so he said politely, "Why did Manager Ming come here in person, just send a little eunuch to take me over." ”

Ming An replied with a sophisticated brush, "The girl doesn't know anything, I'm just afraid that the emperor won't be available in the morning." ”

"Didn't the emperor say that he would summon me today?"

"There is a change in the frontier, at this moment the emperor is discussing state affairs with the ministers in the imperial study, and I am afraid that it will be at least afternoon when I want to see the girl."

Menghan nodded in understanding, "It's okay, national affairs are important, and I should wait." ”

Ming An continued, "Why don't you go around the imperial garden to pass the time first, and wait for the emperor to finish discussing political affairs, and the old slave will return immediately, and then come to Xuan Girl?" ”

Meng Han readily agreed, "Okay, the Imperial Garden is also big enough, and I rarely have the opportunity to see the Royal Garden." ”

"It is so good that at noon the old slave sends the girl to dinner."

The food in the palace, haha, Menghan said excitedly, "Thank you father-in-law, it's just this ......" Menghan pointed to the porcelain bottle in his hand and said, "It's not convenient for me to take it, can my father-in-law find a safe place to keep it temporarily?" ”

"What is this?" Ming An asked.

"This is a necessary thing for me to prove to the emperor, and I ask my father-in-law to keep it carefully."

Ming An took it carefully, "Rest assured, the old slave has been serving in front of the palace for many years, and he has always done things safely."

Menghan nodded, "I believe in my father-in-law, and I have my father-in-law." ”

After Ming'an left, Menghan went completely crazy, God help me, I originally felt that it was not enough to walk in the palace in a hurry, but now it's okay, take a good look at it in the morning, haha. Menghan couldn't be happy, if I had a mobile phone to take a few more photos as a souvenir, it wouldn't be in vain for me to go.

Meng Han was stupidly happy, and when he saw Cheng Zheng passing by the pavilion, Meng Han ran over to block him with joy like a bird, "Why are you here?" ”

Cheng Zheng replied lightly, "The emperor summoned me, I'm afraid I won't have time to see you at this time." ”

Meng Han said domineeringly, "Yes, the emperor let me go of the pigeon but saw you, you robbed my emperor, you have to compensate me." ”

Cheng Zheng's face was full of black lines, "Don't talk nonsense in the palace." ”

Menghan obediently said "oh". Cheng Zheng saw that she was quite obedient, and said kind words to her, "Do you want me to find a few palace maids to accompany you?" ”

Meng Han excused herself again and again, "No, no, I'm more comfortable by myself." ”

"Okay, there are many palaces in the harem, don't break in, just take a look at the palace gate. It is the Qinghe Palace, the Minghe Palace, where the eldest princess and the second princess live. Walking in this direction, it is the palace of the harem concubines. On the right is the Xianghe Palace, where the three princes live, and at the end of the walk is the Manluo Palace, the palace of the great prince. Cheng Zheng's rare patience, "The third prince is weak, and the eldest prince doesn't like to interact with people, so you'd better not bother." ”

Meng Han asked tentatively, "What does it mean, I can go in and walk around the other palaces?" ”

"No, you can't!"

"Oh, got it."

"I'll go first, be careful."

"Hey," Cheng Zheng had just taken two steps before Meng Han stopped him.

"What are you doing?"

"You find someone to tell the shopkeeper who will listen to Xuan, the emperor has summoned me, I can't go today."

"Got it, be honest."

"Am I an honest man?" Menghan muttered in a low voice, fortunately, Cheng Zheng had already gone away, otherwise he would have to reprimand him again if he heard it.
