Mu Zhiqing saw that Luo Xiyao hadn't appeared yet, so she started refining the elixir slowly.
The supply of elixirs in Baicao Pavilion exceeds the demand, so it is necessary to refine more elixirs. In addition, if she wants to become a fourth-grade alchemist as soon as possible, she must spend more time and energy to practice.
When Nangong Xi saw that Mu Zhiqing was still able to make elixirs with peace of mind under such circumstances, she felt a burst of admiration in her heart.
"Zhiqing is really amazing..." Nangong Xi said with emotion.
Lu Qianxun glanced at him helplessly and said, "You should learn from Zhiqing's mentality. If you can stop being so impatient, His Majesty will appreciate you more."
"Qianxun, you are becoming more and more like Master now, you speak in such an old-fashioned way."
Nangong Xi waved his hand and didn't listen to these words at all.
"You have to be energetic when you are young. Look at Gu Zening, he is even less reliable than me."
Gu Zening saw the flames of war igniting on him as the two of them talked, and his face couldn't help but change, "Nangong Xi, you just have to talk to me, why are you trying to pull me off?"
"Gu Zening, I said you are not young anymore. When will you consider getting married and having children
My fourth sister has been waiting for you for three years. If you don't agree now, how about I go and persuade my father to marry you? "Nangong Xi said eagerly.
Gu Zening stepped over to Nangong Xi's side, wishing she could cover this guy's mouth with one hand.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Among the descendants of many ministers today, you are a very popular figure.
Whether it's a marriage or an engagement, you are the first choice. I think there are many people who are interested in talking to the Duke of Zhen about this matter recently. I think good things are about to happen for you.
As the saying goes, raw is not as good as cooked. My fourth sister is just right. If I help you again, it is not appropriate. In the blink of an eye, you will become my brother-in-law! "
Seeing Nangong Xi talking more and more happily, Gu Zening wished he could just settle the matter today. He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and there was a hint of threat in his tone.
"If you dare to say it, I will also propose to the emperor that you are not much younger than me. Even if you don't make a main concubine, this side concubine should also... "
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Xi quickly covered Gu Zening's lips, glanced at Mu Zhiqing subconsciously, and found that she was still concentrating on refining alchemy, and didn't seem to notice their side, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. .
"Gu Zening, you are looking for death!"
"You are the one seeking death!"
Lu Qianxun: "..."
When Mu Zhiqing completed a batch of elixirs, Mu Yunyan's expectant voice also sounded from outside the door.
"Zhiqing, Luo Xiyao is here!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Mu Zhiqing neatly packed up the elixirs, and then returned to class from the alchemy room with everyone else.
At this moment, Jiang Mengxiang and Jia Nianrong were surrounding Luo Xiyao, their expressions full of concern.
"Xiyao, can you scrape together the two million taels?" Jiang Mengxiang asked with concern.
Jia Nianrong took out the banknote directly and said anxiously: "I only have 30,000 taels here..."
Ever since the incident at the Alchemist Guild happened, Luo Xiyao had placed the blame on her and was unwilling to talk to her.
However, she had done a lot of things in the past where Luo Xiyao ignored her, and her life would be much more difficult, so she could only take this opportunity to show her loyalty again and ease the relationship between the two.
Luo Xiyao glanced at Jia Nianrong, the coldness in her eyes dissipated a little, and she accepted the banknote.
