Yang Wu was indeed asking the obvious. In Little Hei's eyes, the Face Preserving Pill was a low level pill, but this kind of pill recipe was almost non-existent in the mortal world. Even in the Transcendent Realm, it was basically hidden away. Its value was not necessarily inferior to the Earth King Pill. In the eyes of women, its value was even higher than the Earth King Pill.
All women loved beauty, and the empress was no exception. When she saw the emperor suddenly become younger, how could she not panic? After asking, she found out about the Face Preserving Pill and immediately sent someone to call Yang Wu over.
"Yang Wu, although the medicine priest is the medicine king, he does not have the pill recipe for the Face Preserving Pill. How about you contribute the recipe and let him refine it for this empress." The empress said somewhat ignorantly.
Just as she finished speaking, the emperor said: "Every pill recipe is a secret of the alchemist. How can it be passed down just because you say so? How about you let Yang Wu refine it for you? This empress believes that Yang Wu has the ability."
Yang Wu smiled and said: "Emperor, empress, you still want the Face Preserving Pill, right? This is a king level pill. I just need to use a bit of effort to refine it. The main thing is that I don't have the ingredients."
"How difficult is this? You are the glory medicine priest, so you can directly go to the medicine storehouse and choose the ingredients." The emperor said.
"I'm afraid the medicine priest has an opinion." Yang Wu said with a difficult expression.
"If he has an opinion, let him come find zhen." The emperor said domineeringly.
The empress anxiously said from the side: "Yes, if you need any ingredients, the medicine storehouse has them. Go ahead and take them, I only want the pills."
"Since it's like this, then this subject will accept the order. As long as I find the ingredients, I will do my best to refine the Face Preserving Pill for the empress." Yang Wu replied.
"Good, good, you are a good child. Everyone says you are hateful and abominable, but this empress sees it as a false rumor, maliciously slandering you." The empress spoke up for Yang Wu.
"The empress is wise. Yang Wu was indeed harmed by a scoundrel, but that is already in the past." Yang Wu said respectfully.
"Un, it's all in the past. You must look forward and properly assist the emperor in the future. There will be benefits for you." The empress replied. After pausing for a moment, she said: "You should immediately go to the medicine storehouse and give the Face Preserving Pill to this empress as soon as possible. This empress will reward."
"Yes, Empress." Yang Wu responded and left the hall.
In the Imperial Palace's forest garden, there was a guard at every step. Every step was a different scenery. Yang Wu was not in the mood to appreciate it. He followed the young eunuch and prepared to leave.
At this time, a palace maid hurriedly walked over and stopped the little eunuch. She then whispered into the little eunuch's ear, "Little Guizi, the princess wants to see the prince consort. You can leave now. Let me bring him to see the princess."
...............................................................
"I don't dare," the eunuch hurriedly replied.
"Then you should quickly go back. I will lead the way for the prince consort." The palace maid said and then walked over to Yang Wu. She bowed to Yang Wu and said: "This servant will lead the way for daren."
The words she said in a low voice could be hidden from normal people, but it could not be hidden from Yang Wu. He had already heard every word she said.
Yang Wu hesitated for a moment, but he still nodded and followed her.
Soon, Yang Wu arrived at another courtyard. This courtyard was not far from the Yangxin Palace Hall. The Yangxin Palace Hall was filled with a noble aura, while the courtyard in front of him was much more elegant. There were all kinds of fresh flowers planted, and there was even a stream of clear spring water. There were even some young spirit rabbits jumping between the flowers.
Between the flowers and plants, a girl dressed as a man was walking back and forth with a white paper fan in her hand. She appeared to be somewhat flustered. When she saw the palace maid bring Yang Wu over, her expression clearly changed. She lowered her head with a red face and bit her jade lips. Gathering her courage, she raised her head and stood where she was, waiting for Yang Wu to come over.
Yang Wu pretended to be in a daze and said: "Where is this? It doesn't seem to be the way out. "
"Our prince wants to see you." The palace maid replied with a bit of a guilty conscience.
"Oh, I wonder which prince it is." Yang Wu asked.
"It is this prince." Tang Xiaohan came up and said. The redness on her face had not receded, but instead became more obvious. There was still some uncertainty in her eyes. Looking at Yang Wu at such a close distance, her heart was pounding.
Yang Wu cupped his hands towards Tang Xiaohan and said: "Yang Wu greets this prince."
Tang Xiaohan pretended to be calm and said: "No need to be so polite."
"I wonder why the prince wants to see Yang Wu?" Yang Wu asked.
Tang Xiaohan coughed lightly and said, "This Prince has long heard of General Yang's deeds at the border and specially invited you to come and chat. Seeing you today, you really are extraordinary, making this Prince admire you."
Yang Wu said with a smile: "The prince must be joking. Yang Wu is only a reckless martial artist. How can I be extraordinary? In Yang Wu's opinion, the prince is the one who is truly young and talented, a dragon among men."
"General Yang is too modest. This prince has been paying attention to the war at the border for a long time. I wonder if General Yang can tell me how you managed to make the barbarian army choose to negotiate peace?" Tang Xiaohan had already thought of a topic to ask.
She took the initiative to approach Yang Wu because she wanted to understand Yang Wu's character. She also wanted to understand where Yang Wu's confidence came from to actually reject the marriage ordered by the emperor. This made her want to get closer to Yang Wu.
What kind of man was this?
"Prince, the war at the border is hard to say." Yang Wu said with a troubled expression. Then he said, "It's getting late. I really shouldn't stay in the palace for too long."
"Could it be that General Yang is looking down on this prince?" Tang Xiaohan pretended to be dissatisfied.
"Alright, then I'll talk about it. I said a lot in the morning court today, and my throat is so dry that I can't stand it anymore." Yang Wu reluctantly replied.
"Little Red, quickly bring the tea." Tang Xiaohan ordered.
"It's already noon. My stomach is about to be flat from hunger."
"Little Red, bring some snacks to entertain General Yang."
"There doesn't even seem to be a seat in this place."
"General Yang, please follow this prince … … this prince will come over here to talk."
… …
Yang Wu looked at the princess who knew how to act. He couldn't help but think: "This princess is quite cute."
Even if the princess was dressed as a man, Yang Wu could still see that she was beautiful and refined. She really didn't disgrace her princess title. Unfortunately, he didn't have too many complicated thoughts. The other party wanted to test him, so he would just tease the other party.
Yang Wu followed Tang Xiaohan to the pavilion. There was a guqin on the table and there were some fresh flowers on the table. It looked like they had just been picked not long ago.
Yang Wu asked: "So the prince is an elegant person who appreciates flowers."
Tang Xiaohan's face turned red again. She hurriedly brushed away the flowers, revealing an embarrassed expression as she said, "I was only playing the zither. These flowers must have been thrown by the palace maids. I will definitely punish them later."
A man loving flowers, this was a very strange phenomenon. It made her feel even more guilty.
"Oh, so it's like this. I saw that there were so many fresh flowers in this courtyard. I thought the prince was a person who cherished flowers." Yang Wu said with a soft sigh.
"Could it be that General Yang also cherishes flowers?" Tang Xiaohan asked back.
"Yes, looking at such beautiful flowers, anyone would feel better, especially people like us who often go through life and death situations. We cherish the brilliance and beauty in front of us more because we don't know when our lives will wither like the flowers." As Yang Wu spoke, he remembered when he had first become a prison slave soldier and the situation when he fought against the barbarians. There really was the possibility of losing his life at any time. The other soldiers also died at the drop of a hat. There really was no mercy to speak of.
His appearance was slightly calm and there was a hint of maturity in his sharp edges. It really made Tang Xiaohan, who was on the side, mesmerized.
On the day Yang Wu returned to Wang City, she saw Yang Wu. He kowtowed to his parents from a hundred feet away and had already become a story of a filial son in Wang City. At the time, she had a very high opinion of him. Now, looking at his unaffected appearance, she was completely mesmerized.
Yang Wu came back to his senses and looked at Tang Xiaohan who was staring at him blankly. He said, "Prince, is there a flower on my face?"
Tang Xiaohan quickly turned her face away. "No... no, I just didn't think that the border would be so dangerous. General Yang was able to achieve such a great military achievement. It really is inconceivable."
"Of course it wasn't easy. I experienced a situation of near death and was lucky enough to come back alive." Yang Wu replied.
At this time, a few palace maids came in one after another with tea and snacks. They quickly retreated.
Tang Xiaohan told Yang Wu to drink water and eat snacks first and then listen to him talk about the border.
Yang Wu did not hold back and quickly threw the crystal-like snacks into his mouth. After a while, he finished them all and said with dissatisfaction, "Your Highness, can you give me a few more of these snacks? I am a rough person who came back from the border. I don't have any other skills but I eat a lot."
He purposely showed this kind of image to make the princess in front of him give up on the idea of testing him.
Who knew that Tang Xiaohan did not think this in her heart. She felt that Yang Wu's rough appearance was very unique and praised in her heart, "This is a real man."
Tang Xiaohan asked the palace maids to serve another ten servings of desserts. Yang Wu, on the other hand, was eating while talking about the matters at the border. He did not talk about anything serious. Most of what he said was made up. Except for the war itself, which was true, the rest were just embellishments. He described how mighty and extraordinary he was, how domineering he was, how he led his troops to kill the Barbarian Race, and how he killed them seven times. In the end, the Barbarian Race submitted to him and was willing to propose a peace treaty.
This kind of nonsense, no matter who heard it, could tell that it was just boasting.
However, Tang Xiaohan was as pure as boiled water. She did not come in contact with the complicated world and completely believed it. She felt that Yang Wu definitely had this kind of ability. Otherwise, how could he achieve this kind of merit at such a young age? Thus, her gaze towards Yang Wu became even brighter.
Yang Wu already felt that something was wrong. He felt that the princess in front of him did not seem to dislike him.
He boldly touched the princess's hand that was on the table, causing the princess to scream in fright and pull her hand back.
"What are you doing!" Tang Xiaohan shrunk back and asked.
"Your Royal Highness, you're so handsome that I can't help but like you. I hope you don't mind." Yang Wu looked at Tang Xiaohan 'affectionately' as he spoke.
Tang Xiaohan was so scared that her face turned pale and her hair stood on end.
