Money is the foundation of everything.

If Yan Huo wants to develop a force that is enough to make the imperial court jealous or even rival, his current capital is simply not enough. Although with his scheming and wisdom, if he is given a few more years, he will inevitably become a dragon hidden in the shadows, and once he appears, he will definitely shock the situation and even change the pattern greatly.

But he could afford to wait, his father's former subordinates couldn't afford to wait, and neither could his sister......

In addition, it is also one of the ways to quickly increase the strength of powerful forces as alliances, although it is not as stable as self-development, but it is also a good way.

And the best way to win them over is to show grace. After all, who would dare to trust allies in exchange for interests? Who can be sure that the other party will not betray them for other interests?

Yan Huo looked at the white jade medicine bottle on the table and wondered, "What is this?" ”

"Zhu Yan Dan. I promise to help you. ”

Yan Hui: "......"

Did we misunderstand something?

Yan Hui's intention was to ask Xun Yu to help save a person, this person was like him, even Liu Shengshou had nothing to do. But Xun Yu misunderstood what he meant, so he didn't reply on the spot. Yan Hui also thought that she was disgusted with trouble and had no interest - that person's condition was not strange, so the two sides misunderstood, causing a beautiful misunderstanding.

Xun Yu explained to him the effect of Zhuyan Dan.

No matter what the world, women's money is the best to make. Her sect had suffered a catastrophe, and although it survived, it also caused difficulties in expenses. During that time, they survived by staying in Yan Dan.

The price of the pill varies according to the grade, but it is very popular regardless of the level. What she took out this time was a medium-grade Zhuyan Pill, which could be cut into thousands of copies and sold, although the medicinal effect would be reduced a lot, but it was enough for a mortal woman.

That's right, she asked Yue'er to find a few trusted women to try the medicine, and the Zhongpin Zhuyan Pill had the best effect.

"This bottle has ten pills, and you can find a trustworthy person to divide it into thousands of servings, which is enough to earn you a lot of money. If that's not enough, you can find these herbs for me, and I'll refine them." It's just that if such an elixir is refined, the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly reduced, and I can't be sure of the success rate. Xun Yu explained, this can be said to be the most words she has said at one time when she came to this world.

Yan Hui: "......"

He sighed and smiled a little weakly. "Thank you."

Yan Hui was quite grateful for the unexpected joy. In fact, there is no need for Xun Yu to explain, just the three words "Zhuyan Dan" are enough to understand its efficacy. If these pills are sold, they will definitely earn a huge amount of silver taels beyond people's imagination. If you're lucky, you'll also get connections that you can't buy. Whether it is overt or secretly, it will bring him great benefits.

But in this way, it is difficult for him to open his mouth to ask again.

But Xun Yu is such a thoughtful person, how can he not see that he is sorry in his heart. Frowning slightly, she said, "These are not enough? ”

Yan Huo wanted to dispel his mind, but when he met those clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, his heart suddenly tightened, and for a moment, a sense of danger appeared in his heart. The brows were unconsciously squeezed together, Yan Hui was serious, and after a long time, he said: "There is indeed a request ......"

After Yan Huo finished speaking, Xun Yu actually evoked a faint smile. As if the beautiful scenery has been frozen, when the ice and snow melt, the mesmerizing and peerless style is displayed in front of people.

***

Barren and cold palace, overgrown with weeds. There is a corner of land that has been carved out and some vegetables are grown. The spring breeze blew into the room through the tattered and old windows. The interior is simply furnished, with only the most basic furniture. The furniture is old, some of which are of different colors, and should have been repaired. Behind several kinds of linen curtains, there is a stepping bed with a fallen frieze and four patched columns, and the begonia pattern around the bed can only be faintly outlined. The quilt that has been washed many times is whitish, not only old, but also lost most of the warmth function.

A woman with sunken cheeks and eye sockets, yellow hair, and a miserable look. Although his face has withered, he can still see a little elegance from the outline. She was covered with two quilts, and the more than ten pieces of clothes on the quilts should be all they had.

The woman had been in a coma for two days, and at first she had a fever and her whole body was hot like fire, but today she began to feel chills and her body kept shaking.

Murong Pei kept wiping cold sweat for her, and moistened her chapped lips with water from time to time. He didn't sleep for two days in a row, he looked extremely tired, and his body was crying out for dissatisfaction, but he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

There was a sound outside, and there was a hint of expectation in Murong Pei's worried and frightened eyes. He immediately got up and ran out.

"Father-in-law, is the Imperial Doctor here?" Murong Pei asked anxiously.

There were three people coming, and the father-in-law who was the leader looked arrogant, and looked at the embarrassed Murong Pei with his eyelids half-raised, with contempt and disgust in his eyes. He pulled out a handkerchief, shook it, and covered his nose, as if the person in front of him was stenching.

"Imperial Doctor? Hmph, the Imperial Doctor is what you can ask if you want? The father-in-law said disdainfully.

Murong Pei's eyes changed, he was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and pleaded: "Father-in-law, my mother is seriously ill, please help me invite the imperial doctor, your great kindness, I will never forget it in this life!" ”

If it is changed to another prince, even if the eldest prince who is the least favored by the saint, the father-in-law will inevitably give a color. Ke Murong Pei...... Hmph, he's something.

Murong Pei is the bloodline of the Son of Heaven, and he is extremely noble, but it is a pity that he was stupid at a young age, and he gave up his identity as a prince for the sake of a waste concubine, and he didn't know who he should be filial to! The saint was furious, but mercifully did not remove him from the jade. This is already a great kindness, but he still doesn't know what to do, and he hasn't even had a thank you.

Therefore, although he was not expelled, he was like being deposed in the palace, trampled and humiliated by others, and no one would stand out.

"Hey, don't be like this, the Nine Emperors, although our family has been valued by even my father-in-law and has taken charge of some things, but in the end he is just a minion, where can I invite the adults of the Tai Hospital." And...... She has already been stripped of her title, she is not your mother concubine, don't touch your lips and talk nonsense. ”

Murong Pei's face changed drastically, and when he was about to refute, there was a terrible scream from inside the room. He subconsciously wanted to go back, but he didn't take a few steps and stopped suddenly.

He stared into the room for a moment, then turned abruptly and fell to his knees.

My father-in-law was so frightened that he almost jumped.

"Father-in-law Zhao, mother...... She has been seriously ill for a few days, so I beg you to be forgiving and send someone to invite a doctor to see her. Or...... Or tell my father, ask my father-in-law for mercy, and save my mother. ”

Murong Pei kowtowed, prostrate on the ground, and his posture was extremely humble.

The father-in-law stared at him coldly, with indescribable happiness in his heart. What about the prince? It's not like a dog lying at his feet.

After enjoying this pleasure for a while, the father-in-law pretended to say: "Oh, the Nine Emperors, don't do this, come on, don't help the Nine Emperors up." ”

The two eunuchs behind him immediately stepped forward and forcibly set Murong Pei up. Murong Pei has been tired of making a living all the year round, and he has been sleepless for two consecutive years, his body is extremely weak, where can he beat two strong eunuchs.

His little struggle is no different from a kitten scratching someone.

"Nine Emperor Princes, don't say that our family is cold, although I can't help you, I also brought you some medicine. As for the future, it's up to you to make it yourself. With that, his father-in-law threw a packet of medicine at his feet.

The father-in-law beckoned, and as soon as the two eunuchs let go, Murong Pei fell to his knees in a hurry.

"Let's go."

The closed palace gates were closed again. His knees hurt like a heart, and Murong Pei stared blankly at the packet of medicine. Outside the palace, there was a high-spirited reprimand from the father-in-law: "Take care of the door for our family, if you let him sneak out again, take care of your skin!" ”

I don't know how much later, he wiped his face, patted it again, and failed several times before pulling out a stiff and reluctant smile. He grabbed his medicine bag and limped into the house.

Concubine Wan, who had been in a coma for a long time, finally woke up slowly after a painful scream.

Murong Pei watched her suddenly radiant, and his heart fell into the abyss with a rapid pace. The pain in his body gradually faded away, leaving only the cold enough to freeze his soul.

Concubine Wan got up on her own and half leaned on the head of the bed. She smiled warmly and beckoned to Murong Pei, "Come, Pei'er, let Weiniang take a good look at you." ”

His hands trembled, and Murong Pei dragged his feet into the deep mire and couldn't walk an inch, and walked heavily to the edge of the bed and sat down. He held Concubine Wan's hand and trembled and squeezed out a hoarse voice: "Mother...... Mother. ”

Concubine Wan smiled and took his hand back. "It's all grown so big, and they're still coquettish. My Pei'er is still the same as when she was a child, like a little crying bag, how can you reassure me like this......"

"Then don't put it! Mother, Pei'er hasn't grown up yet, and she still needs your care, mother......"

Concubine Wan's heart ached, and when she was about to say something, a fishy sweetness suddenly gushed out of her throat. She clenched her fists to her lips and pretended to cough, and it took a long time to suppress the fishy sweetness.

"Mother? Mother, are you alright? I've got the medicine, I'm going to decoction the medicine, as long as you take the medicine, you will be fine. Mother, you wait for me, I'll be back soon. ”

Concubine Wan was startled and wanted to grab her son who ran away, but only grabbed a sleeve.

Suddenly, a strange movement pulled Murong Pei, who was almost crazy, back. He turned his head suddenly, only to see Concubine Wan suddenly lying on the edge of the bed, spitting blood.

The dark red blood that meandered to the ground stained his eyes. Murong Pei's eyes widened, and he hurriedly ran back to pick up Concubine Wan.

"Mother, mother......"

Concubine Wan returned to the way she was when she was unconscious, as if those few mouthfuls of blood had taken away her burning last look. She coughed a few times, barely getting a smile.

"Pei'er, these mothers...... It's my mother who is dragging you down. ”

Murong Pei shook his head, tears dripping down her face one by one. "No, no, it's my mother who is protecting me." If it weren't for his willfulness at the beginning, not listening to his mother's words, and insisting on following her, his mother would not have been bullied and tortured by those minions in order to protect him when he was young. It will not be from a healthy adult woman to a weak body in just a few years.

"Pei'er, my mother can no longer accompany or accompany you. Answer, promise mother...... Certain...... Be strong. Must live...... Even if...... Even if you kneel...... And live. ”

"No, mother, don't ...... I don't want ......"

"Promise me!" Concubine Wan suddenly yelled, "You promise me!" ”

“…… Yes, I promise you. ”

After getting the promise, Concubine Wan was finally relieved. Her son may be weak and indecisive, but he is also a man of his word.

I want to ...... I really want to hug him again...... Hug my son again......

However, the slightly raised arm is like a kite with a broken string......

Murong Pei grabbed the hand and put it on his face.

The mother concubine in her arms looked serene. There is still residual heat in his body, but unfortunately no matter what he does, he can't keep this warmth.

Murong Pei maintained the same posture and silently burst into tears.

There are no screams of despair, no cries of sorrow.

He just cried silently, his empty eyes devoid of any emotion.

As if, the soul was drained.
