Ying Dangdang soon brought a piece of news: Guiyuan Dan and Baichang Dan were successfully copied, and the queen was very satisfied, so she specially summoned Wuji into the palace.

In addition, there is also news that Ying Dare is about to go to the Purple Moon Forest as the envoy of the Son of Heaven. Thousands of miles away, there are too many things to prepare, and there are many people around, so it is inconvenient to go out of the palace, so I asked Wuji to meet in the queen's Changle Palace.

Wuji did not hesitate, and immediately followed Ying Dangdang into the palace, bringing two boxes of pills with him: a box of Guiyuan Dan and a box of Hundred Variety Pills.

Sitting in the carriage of Ying Dang, entering the imperial city, passing in front of the majestic Afang Palace, passing through the endless, thousands of twists and turns of the nine-song corridor, Wuji was shocked by the royal wealth and luxury.

"Well, silly, that's royal style. ”

"How much people's fat and people's ointment this takes!"

"Uh...... Can you say something on the stage? You are also a rich man with a lot of money in your pocket, don't you always pretend to be the spokesperson of the common people?" Ying dared to say contemptuously: "I hate those virtuous literature that is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas and surrounded by a group of slaves, but always regards itself as the representative of the people. ”

"Okay. Wuji also felt that he was now eating and drinking spicy food in the Shi family every day, and he had broken away from the people and become a member of the rotten parasites, and he was not qualified to speak for the people, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

They came to Changle Palace and stood in front of the queen.

The queen wore a casual dress, but she was still gorgeous and generous. Ying Yiran stood beside her, the mother and daughter were mature and delicate, and they were correspondingly interesting, which could be called a pair of mother and daughter flowers.

Wuji presents Guiyuan Dan and Baichang Dan.

The queen opens the box. Immediately, the medicinal fragrance overflowed, which made people feel refreshed. The medicinal fragrance is mainly the medicinal fragrance of Guiyuan Dan, and the Baiyan Dan has almost no taste. The color is also a little dull, far less good than Guiyuan Dan's.

"I didn't think you would be able to do it. The queen picked up a Guiyuan Pill and was very satisfied. "Again, you have a good eye. ”

"Mother, and me. "Ying dares to take the initiative to ask for credit. "I mentioned this matter, and I am the first to do it. ”

"I can't forget you. The queen chuckled: "Your father is also very happy when he hears about this." said that you have been stubborn for so many years, and you have finally done a reliable thing. I am going to make you king. ”

"Really? That's great. "Ying dare to be overjoyed. Crowned king. With his own feudal state, he has a fixed source of income.

"Have you found the reason for the failure of the Hundred Variation Pill?"

Wuji shook his head: "I'm still looking for it." There is no comparison, I can only rely on extrapolation, and there is no substantial progress yet. ”

The queen nodded. Understand the difficulties of Mowgli. It's not a day or two since the name of the Hundred Variation Pill doesn't live up to its name, and it is difficult for a strong man to make a breakthrough in a short period of time. If there is a real and effective Variety Pill and let Wuji compare it, the situation may be a little better.

However, even in the palace, there is no real Hundred Variety Pill to be found now.

After talking about the pill, Ying Yiran pulled Wuji to the side hall to speak.

"I'll leave tomorrow, it's too late to see you enter the Heavenly Academy. How's the preparation?"

"Prepare what?"

"Prepare for the exam. At that time, the test will be taken for three days in a row. There are nearly 1,000 questions in total, and if you don't prepare at all, how can you get a good score?"

Ying Yiran said angrily: "This time the Heavenly Academy is open to the exam. However, I don't know how many people participated in the event, which has been rare for decades. Don't say it, almost all of the seven surnames, thirteen minor surnames, and thirty-six clans have children to participate, plus the talents recommended by various states and counties, there are not 10,000, but 8,000. ”

"How many people are you going to recruit?"

"The current proposal is 100. As an introductory disciple. A year later, fifty people were selected for the exam. Promotion. ”

"Do I want to do this too?" Wuji raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, when the court does things, fairness and justice come first, otherwise, I don't know how many people will oppose it. Ying Yiran sighed. "The court has been criticized enough to be criticized. ”

"So, the unspoken rule that non-Ying clans can't serve as the great masters of the Heavenly Academy should also be abolished?"

"That's why you have to work hard. Ying also turned around, with a stern expression. "Mowgli, don't be careless. The Heavenly Academy is one of the few forces in the hands of the imperial court at present, and if it is taken away by others, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos. ”

"Is there such a strict zhòng?"

"It's only going to be stricter. Ying Yiran turned around, raised his head, and looked at the Tianshu Pagoda in the southeast direction. "The Book of Heaven is the foundation of the Empire, and if the secrets of the Book of Heaven are in the hands of people with ulterior motives, the Empire will inevitably be in turmoil. Once something happens, I don't know how many people will die and how much blood will be shed. ”

Don't want to talk and stop. His attitude towards the Empire is clearly at odds with that of Yingyi. For him, such an empire itself is a vampire, and it is a matter of time before it falls, and no matter whose hands the Heavenly Academy is in its hands, it cannot stop the pace of history.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that you swallowed the divine bone, have you ever taken it out?" asked Ying Yiran with concern.

Wuji frowned and shook his head.

He had seen through his body with his mindful eyes, but he didn't find the divine bones, which disappeared in his body like wooden needles. The difference is only that the wooden needle can still appear in the sea of his consciousness, but the divine bone can't even find a shadow, like a piece of candy that has been digested and disappeared.

He didn't figure out what was going on, and he was still suspicious, but fortunately, he didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

"When you arrive in the Windproof Country, help me ask Wang Xicheng, the Giant National Master, to see what's going on. ”

"Okay. Ying Yiran took Wuji's hand: "Be careful yourself, if there is anything wrong, hurry up and find the queen mother." The imperial doctor in the palace is experienced and has a lot of medicinal materials, so he may be able to help. ”

Mowgli nodded.

"Are you proficient in the needle, and what realm have you reached?" Ying Yiran asked again: "Can you use it in the air like you use a blade?"

"It's okay to kill people, but it's not okay to save people. ”

"That's right. Ying Yiran's eyebrows furrowed slightly, looking a little disappointed.

She turned and entered, and after a moment, she walked back again, her cheeks slightly red and bright like a peach. "You are spiritual, that's my mother, don't treat you as an ordinary person, regardless of the severity. ”

Mowgli blinked, not knowing what to say.

Today, the queen summoned him to the palace, not only because of the successful replication of Guiyuan Dan and Baichang Dan, but also because Ying Yiran was about to travel far away and let them say goodbye, but there was also a more important reason: the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is approaching, and the queen will once again pretend to be a great teacher to preside over the examination of the Heavenly Academy and the related ceremonies of the Yuanxiao Festival.

The Yuanxiao Festival, also known as the Shangyuan Festival, is the first heavy festival after the first day of the first lunar month and New Year's Day.

For the queen, this is undoubtedly a severe test.

As early as Chinese New Year's Eve, she asked Wuji to administer needles to her so that she could improve her realm. But it was not a coincidence, Wuji had to return to Yuan Dan on the first day of the New Year, and immediately devoted himself to the work of breaking down Guiyuan Dan and Baichang Dan, and he never found time. The queen also knew that Guiyuan Dan and Baichang Dan were important, so she didn't bother Wuji.

Now, the Guiyuan Dan and the Hundred Variation Dan have been successfully copied, and there are only three days left before the Yuanxiao Festival, which cannot be delayed any longer, and must start immediately.

The wait of these days is also necessary, and the successful replication of Guiyuan Dan also provides some guarantees on a certain Cheng dù.

The queen arranged the place of needle application in Liquan Palace. There are hot springs in Liquan Palace, and the heat is steaming. In the case that Mowgli has not yet grasped the needle in the air, the queen should not wear too many clothes, and the hot spring can just provide a suitable temperature.

To apply needles to the queen, Wuji was already a little embarrassed. Even if you put aside the noble status of the queen mother, just talking about the relationship between her and Ying, Wuji can't be without scruples. Ying Yiran's reminders and warnings exacerbated his unnaturalness.

When the queen walked out of the bath while wiping her hair with a bath towel in a profane dress, Wuji's face was hotter than a hot spring, her heart was beating like a bubbling spring in a hot spring, and her eyes didn't know where to look.

"You are like this, but you don't have the demeanor of a great teacher. The queen sat calmly on the brocade coat, leaning her body, her slender legs stacked together, holding her head with one hand, and resting on her crotch with the other hand. "It is also said that you have inherited the wisdom of the great master, but I am afraid that this is not the case. ”

Wuji said embarrassedly: "Queen, actually...... I don't know if the great master left me with wisdom. I have never been able to find the memory of the great master, let alone his realm. ”

"His mind has always been hidden, not to mention that you children can't guess, even I may not be able to guess. The queen looked at a painting on the wall, was stunned for a moment, and sighed lightly: "If you don't even dare to look at me, how can you give me a needle?"

Wuji raised his head in embarrassment, glanced at the queen, and then looked away with a weak heart, raised his arm, and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead.

The queen couldn't help but laugh. "Are you hot, or are you nervous?"

"It's hot, but it's also nervous. Mowgli said honestly.

"If it's hot, you take your coat off. If you're nervous, you can go to the hot springs to take a dip and relax. I'm afraid that your hands will tremble, and when the time comes, you will prick the wrong acupuncture point. ”

"Good...... All right. Wuji thought this was good, and got up and walked towards the hot springs. Standing by the hot spring, he glanced at the palace maids who were standing aside, not squinting, and became uneasy again, and turned around and walked to the queen.

"Queen, let them ...... Do you want to avoid it?"

"Let them stay away, do you want me to wash you?" asked the queen rhetorically.

"Uh......" Wuji choked for a while, and his speech was even more unpleasant. "I ...... I can just wash it myself, and I don't need anyone's help. ”

"Aren't there maids by your side, why are you still so restrained?" the queen was surprised. "Are you trying to make a good impression on me and deliberately pretend to be honest?"

There is no desire to cry without tears. There is Jing Xiaoyang by his side, but he and Jing Xiaoyang are innocent, at most, they just take advantage of their mouths, and they really have skin to skin, so far, only Ying Yiran is the only one. Hearing the queen's words, even Wuji was a little suspicious.

The people of Daqin are open, am I really too restrained?

But after thinking about it, he felt helpless. This is my mother-in-law, borrow my guts, I can't be presumptuous-
