The young man in front of him looked like he was about thirty years old, and it was a little inconvenient to walk, and he seemed to have a foot disease. Although he was wearing a simple and old Taoist robe, he was polite and polite, and his gestures revealed a gentleness, without the temperament of Lan Wenyong's fairy wind and bones, not like a Taoist priest, but like a Confucian who had read the books of sages.

Emperor Jingfeng looked at him: "You are Lan Wenyong's junior brother?"

Bai Shiji bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty, I am Lan Wenyong's junior brother Bai Shiji. Before Senior Brother left, he had already entrusted me with all the alchemy services in the palace, and in the future, His Majesty's elixir would be taken care of by Poor Dao."

As he spoke, he took out a small brocade box and handed it to Cheng Yan on the side to forward: "Poor Dao heard that His Majesty was frightened and bedridden, so he refined this Spiritual Qi Pill, which has the effect of calming the mind and condensing qi and nourishing the spirit, and it should be more symptomatic than the pill Your Majesty took before."

Emperor Jingfeng took the aura pill handed by Cheng Yan, leaned to the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly, and found that not only did he not have the pungent smell of cinnabar and other substances in the previous pills, but also had a strong medicinal fragrance.

Emperor Jingfeng was very satisfied with this, and after taking the pill, he said to Bai Shiji: "Yes, since you are the junior disciple of Lan Warlock, you must have good ability, go down and receive the reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Shiji thanked him neither humbly nor arrogantly, and then retreated.

Emperor Jingfeng's mood was a little more relaxed, thinking of the recent situation in the court, after thinking about it, he said to Cheng Yan: "The crown prince and the party of the East Palace are in prison, and the people in the court must be panicked.

"Now that there is no one in charge of the cabinet, it is not easy for me to use officials at will, so I just Cheng Yan, you will work hard and go to the cabinet to help stabilize the situation."

Saying that, Emperor Jingfeng thought for a while: "But you are now in the Wenxuan Shilang, the official rank of the fifth grade, and it is inevitable that you will be despised...... In this way, I will promote you to the left squire of the Ministry of Officials, and from now on you will enter the cabinet as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and help the other ministers to handle government affairs."

Cheng Yan lifted his robe and knelt down: "Weichen receives the order."

Maybe it was because he had just taken the pill, and the feeling of drowsiness gradually hit, and Emperor Jingfeng waved his hand: "Well, let's retreat first if there is nothing to do, I am tired."

"Wechen retired."

……

Walking out of Emperor Jingfeng's bedroom, the respect on Cheng Yan's face gradually faded, and was replaced by indifference.

Bai Shiji, who should have left a long time ago, waited in a secluded place, cautiously checked that there was no one around, and then limped forward: "My lord."

Cheng Yan snorted lightly and said, "Fang just behaved well, in this way, you will be a full-time warlock who alchemy for His Majesty, and you can enter and leave the palace at will in the future, and it will be much more convenient to do things."

This alchemist named "Bai Shiji" was none other than Bai Xingjia, and when he thought of his next plan, he still hesitated a little in his heart: "...... My lord, after all, it is the Son of Heaven, wouldn't it be too risky for us to do this?"

"What about the Son of Heaven?" Cheng Yan sneered, and his words were quite rebellious, "The matter has come to this point, if you don't do this, do you want to watch that fool of King Wu ascend to the throne and make a mess of the court?"

Bai Xingjia had long been accustomed to the arrogant words of others, and silently lowered his eyes and did not respond.

Cheng Yan didn't have to ask him to make any answer, he took care of his somewhat messy cuffs, and his tone was contemptuous but extremely presumptuous: "Our Majesty, who was still a wise monarch in the early years, has become more and more confused over the years, suspicious all day long, and a groundless tiger injury case actually put the prince in prison."

"If this continues, will he abolish the crown prince and make King Wu the prince?" Cheng Yan shook his head and smiled, "King Wu is impetuous, eager for quick success, if Great Xia falls into his hands, it will be at least fifty years shorter for the national fortune, so Li Zheng's mind is not clear, and he is favored as a treasure."

"Although the crown prince is not very good, he is still much better than King Wu, and it is not a problem to be a king of success in the future. Since Li Zheng is confused, let him give up his position as soon as possible and give this position to a more suitable person."

Cheng Yan patted Bai Xingjia's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You don't have too much psychological burden

Bear, we call it 'choosing the wise king, and it can be regarded as benefiting the people of the world.'"

This joke is really not funny, Bai Xingjia suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart, feeling ridiculous and sarcastic, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only shake his head and laugh in response.

Skipping this topic, Cheng Yan put away the sloppiness on his face, and said with a straight face: "How is the Southern Xinjiang Beast Tamer handling it?"

Bai Xingjia lowered his voice: "It's been cleaned up, and I guarantee that Flying Fish Guard won't find the slightest clue. I'm afraid that King Wu and his party still think that they are lucky, and they easily found a suitable tiger, and they don't know that we deliberately sent it."

"It's still a pity." Cheng Yan said regretfully, "I originally wanted to plan and directly let the tiger bite Li Zheng to death, so as to encourage the minister to support the crown prince's succession, so there would not be so much trouble, but unfortunately in the end it was still one step behind."

Bai Xingjia said helplessly: "No way, who told Master Gu to be loyal and react extremely quickly. It wasn't enough to save the crown prince last time, but this time he had to save the emperor again to be comfortable, and he actually hit the tiger's eye so accurately, even if he is as brave as the grandfather of the country, he may not have this vision and technique."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yan laughed, quite happy: "Yun Ji's accuracy has always been very good, when he was studying in Luxi Academy, he cast a pot accurately, and few in the whole academy won him."

Bai Xingjia sighed: "It's just that it's not easy to find that tiger, the beast trainer trained it for more than half a month before teaching it to pounce as soon as it saw the yellow robe, otherwise it wouldn't be able to accurately find the emperor in the crowd."

"It's just a brute, there's nothing to be reluctant to, at most it takes a little effort." Cheng Yan didn't care very much, "It's worth it to exchange a tiger for Yunji in the history books, but now it's just a little troublesome, and the result is still the same, it's just the same way."

Saying that, Cheng Yan told Bai Xingjia: "These days, you will stay in the palace in the name of alchemy to gain his trust as soon as possible, and there is not much time left for us."

"And on the prince's side, send two more people to keep an eye on it, so that others don't have a chance. Right now, King Wu and his party are proud, beware of their enthusiasm for a moment and want to attack the crown prince, then we will fall short."

Bai Xingjia responded one by one: "Don't worry, I know."
