The next morning, the chief eunuch Gao Weng came to the Chu Mansion with two young eunuchs.
Although his visit was nominally private, and he used his friendship with Marquis Zi Yi as a cover, everyone knew that this eunuch had always followed the king's will. There must be something strange about him leaving the palace and coming to the Chu Mansion for no reason...
"Greetings to the Crown Prince Chu, the First-Rank Lady." Mr. Gao was not at all arrogant. As soon as he entered the room, he sent the two young eunuchs away. After arriving at the main hall, he looked at Mrs. Fan, and then greeted Chu Tianxiao and Mrs. Fan one after another. Of course, in return, Chu Tianxiao would not look down on this eunuch who was always with the king of the Great Zhou... Not to mention his loyal character and many legends, just his own cultivation, that is also a strong man at the peak of the Soul Awakening Realm, and he is also ranked among the top masters of the Great Zhou...
Not to mention, this person was a very good friend of Lu Xuan's father when he was a prince and a teenager. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the most trusted people of the current Emperor Zhou. Over the years, his attitude towards the Tianjue Chu family has been extremely friendly. He is a friend rather than an enemy.
This man's real name was not Gao Weng, but because he was highly respected and his surname was Gao, people called him that.
"Mr. Gao is polite." Without hesitation, Chu Tianxiao and Fan politely returned the greeting and served tea at the same time, showing great courtesy.
After Gao Weng thanked him, his eyes became meaningful. Fan understood and immediately excused herself, leaving the venue to the two of them. Gao Weng looked at Chu Tianxiao, a smile appeared on his withered face, and a trace of relief appeared in his eyes. He said, "When I first met Prince Chu, you were still a baby in swaddling clothes. Time flies. After so many years, you have grown up. Well, you are very good, strong and handsome, just like your father."
"Oh, this is the first time I've heard Mr. Gao praise me like this. Before, he only talked about my deeds..."
Gao Weng shook his head and smiled, "I know most of what you have done, and they are all good, but in fact, as long as you are handsome like your father, you can attract a few girls, that's enough."
"... Was Mr. Gao a good friend of my father?" Chu Tianxiao was very attentive and could naturally tell that he was speaking in the tone of an elder. Moreover, only very close elders would say such words that sounded like a joke but also serious...
"Well, very good friends, I was the one who helped tie the knot between your father and your mother." Gao Weng was still smiling, and Chu Tianxiao also laughed when he heard it: "I see... I haven't heard Dad say that before..."
"Haha... How could he tell you about such an embarrassing thing?" Gao Weng smiled, but a hint of emotion was hidden in the corner of his mouth, "It was not easy for your father and mother to be together back then..."
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao narrowed his eyes slightly. He could hear a hint of contempt. He keenly felt that there seemed to be a hidden story. He looked over and saw that Gao Weng was also a little puzzled. He asked, "Didn't your father tell you?"
The two words had obviously different meanings, and Chu Tianxiao suddenly became more confused: "What does Mr. Gao mean?"
Seeing this, Mr. Gao was silent for a long time, then he sighed deeply, with a half-smile on his face: "No wonder... you didn't know yet... Oh, if you didn't know, why did you have such courage that day... Hehe... What an interesting child... I thought you were good enough, but I never thought that we old guys still underestimated you..."
This was so confusing that Chu Tianxiao was completely confused. He was stunned for a moment and was about to ask, but Gao Weng waved his hand and said, "Son, your father hasn't told you something yet, which means he thinks you're not ready yet... So, I can't tell you either."
"I know you have a lot of questions in your mind, and I can't answer them for you, but... I can tell you that we old guys don't have the slightest bit of ill will towards you."
After saying this, before Chu Tianxiao could say anything else, Gao Weng stopped him from talking and waved his hand, saying, "Prince Chu, I came here this time to convey a message to you on behalf of His Majesty."
Hearing this, especially the mention of the title "Prince Chu" in this sentence, Chu Tianxiao knew that he could not ask anything. However, despite his doubts, he understood that the business was of utmost importance at this moment, so he clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Gao, please speak."
Gao Weng was very satisfied with his performance. He narrowed his eyes and said, "The original words that His Majesty asked me to tell you are as follows..."
"Little prodigal, have you had enough fun? Have you dealt with the troubles you've been dealing with?"
"Pay attention, there are some things that you should do now."
The imitation of these words was so lifelike that if one did not look closely, one would think that it was the Emperor Zhou who spoke these words. Even though Chu Tianxiao was looking at him face to face, he was dazed for a moment... Obviously... this eunuch not only had such profound cultivation that he could understand the innermost corners of His Majesty, but his familiarity with His Majesty was also far beyond Chu Tianxiao's imagination.
However, this distraction lasted only a moment. Chu Tianxiao came back to his senses immediately and was about to speak when Mr. Gao turned around, waved his whisk, and said, "Prince Chu, hurry up and do it. Don't let His Majesty be disappointed in you."
After hearing this, Chu Tianxiao was stunned for a moment, but then he figured out the key point and laughed, "Mr. Gao, please stay."
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Mr. Gao paused and turned around to see Chu Tianxiao taking out something from the Xumi Ring. In an instant, a radiance flowed and a ray of blue light slowly rose. It was a blue spiritual box, which was specially used to store precious natural treasures...
Seeing this, Mr. Gao frowned slightly, but Chu Tianxiao smiled and said, "I have already done what your majesty wanted me to do. This is the first batch of finished products. Please have a look, Mr. Gao."
After these words fell, even with Gao Weng's knowledge, he trembled all over at this moment, not because he was "slapped in the face", but... he couldn't believe it!
Yes, unbelievable!
Even if, even if Chu Tianxiao understood the deep meaning of His Majesty's words on the day when His Majesty shocked the capital, but... it has only been a few days since then
Oh, we old guys were worried that you would lose your composure in times of crisis and fail to understand the meaning, so we came to tell you. But you told me that not only had you understood it a long time ago, but you had also... done it
This is a bit over the top...
This can't be!
Even though Mr. Gao was always calm and composed, his expression at this moment became a bit awkward... He didn't know whether to be happy or embarrassed. In the end, he could only let out a long sigh: "You are worthy of being Zhong Yi's son. Even your style of doing things is so similar to his... Very good, kid, you do everything in front of others, you... are very sensible."
Chu Tianxiao touched the back of his head when he heard this and said, "Mr. Gao, I'd better ask you to take a look first."
"Haha, OK." Gao Weng nodded, not doubting that Chu Tianxiao was just trying to be brave, because he could easily feel the abundant spiritual energy from the spiritual box, and it didn't seem to be fake, but... even so, he only guessed the beginning but not the end...
Soon, as Chu Tianxiao opened the spirit box, the true appearance of the 'hybrid spirit rice' was revealed... Gao Weng was completely stunned!
Although this thing looks no different from ordinary spiritual rice, who is Gao Weng? It would have been fine if there was a spiritual box blocking it before, but now that he is watching it up close, how could he not see the mystery
“Is this the divine rice?”
Gao Weng's hands began to tremble violently. He looked at Chu Tianxiao and said, "You artificially created... the divine rice?"
