Master Xia muttered to himself for a moment, then nodded, "Since Pang Ran is so outstanding, then I shall leave this matter to you. If there's nothing else, you may take your leave, I'm a little tired."
Hearing this, the housekeeper's expression showed some hesitation. After thinking for a long time, he slowly spoke, "Master, there's one more thing. The Emperor of Black Tortoise Country, Pang Zihuang, has gifted us a Longevity Pill. However, Master has never accepted gifts from anyone. This old servant is hesitating, unsure whether to return the pill to Pang Zihuang or..."
A pill!
Master Xia's heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, causing a ripple. He finally turned his head and stared excitedly at the housekeeper, "What did you just say? A Longevity Pill? "
Butler Xia stared blankly for a moment. Ever since the Young Master had fallen ill, he had never seen the Master with such an expression. Even though the Longevity Pill was extremely precious, with the Master's abilities, buying one from the Hundred Herb Hall wouldn't be a problem.
Is there a need for him to be so excited?
However, the housekeeper still answered Master Xia's question truthfully and replied respectfully, "Master, the pill that Pang Zihuang has gifted is in this old servant's hands. This old servant will present it to you now."
As he spoke, the housekeeper opened his palm and a green pill appeared in his hand.
The pill exuded a vigorous vitality, as if it had an infinite life force surrounding Master Xia's body. Even the pores on his body felt refreshed.
Master Xia grew excited, he suddenly felt the urge to laugh out loud.
Of course, he was not excited because of the pill. The most important thing was that the Master of the Hundred Herb Hall, Gu Ruoyun, had disappeared without a trace. Even with the Xia family's power, they could not find her whereabouts. It was as if there was some other power interfering. Now, Pang Zihuang had brought out a Longevity Pill that only the Hundred Herb Hall had.
What did this mean?
A pill was incomparably precious. Even if Pang Zihuang took out the entire national treasury, he would not be able to buy one. Unless, he met the most authoritative person in the Hundred Herb Hall!
And in the Hundred Herb Hall, there was probably only one person who could make pills!
"Butler," Master Xia calmed the waves in his heart and said, "Make preparations immediately, I want to personally pay a visit to the Imperial Family of Black Tortoise Country!"
Butler Xia was dumbfounded. As the ruler of Heaven City, the Family Head had a high status and authority. He didn't even need to personally go to the Royal Family to decide who the Crown Prince was. Now, when the Young Master was seriously ill, he had actually chosen to go to the Royal Family?
Could it be because of this Longevity Pill?
"Yes, Patriarch."
Butler Xia put away the doubts in his heart, cupped his fists and said respectfully.
Then, under his gaze, Master Xia laughed heartily, waved his sleeves, and quickly walked out of the study. His clear and bright laughter rang throughout the horizon, lingering in the Xia Family courtyard for a long time.
So much so that many people thought that their Patriarch was agitated by the Young Master's illness. Otherwise, why would he laugh out loud at this time?
But only Master Xia knew that if he found Gu Ruoyun, not only would he be able to complete Lord Lingxiao's mission, he might even be able to cure Xia Zixi's strange illness...
…
In the imperial court, there was a solemn silence.
Pang Zihuang's dignified gaze swept across the courtiers beneath him, and he spoke unhurriedly, "My beloved ministers, Imperial Concubine Lin and the Imperial Advisor have rebelled. Even though the Third Prince was not at fault, his mother's betrayal has made it impossible for him to become the Crown Prince of the Imperial Family! So, We have written a letter to the Xia family, recommending the Sixth Prince as the Crown Prince of Black Tortoise Country. My beloved ministers, do you have any objections? "
