The Seventh Prince stared at the pill furnace for a long time, then raised his head to look at Lin Shuqian.
"Majesty, what are you doing there?" "There's a big treasure in there, I'll take you to see it."
Lin Shuqiang regretted coming here. Mu Rong Hong was a madman, why should he bother with him?
However, since they had come, it would be unjustifiable for them to leave now. Lin Shu Qian brought Lingxi into the back hall.
The back hall was not as mystical as the front hall. It was just an ordinary room with a large bookshelf beside it. There were many books and bottles placed on top of the bookshelves.
"What is the great treasure that the Seventh Prince spoke of?" Lin Shu Qian pretended to be curious as he looked at Mu Rong Hong.
"What a treasure trove …" Only the two of us can see it. " Mu Rong Hong smiled strangely. With a wave of his sleeve, Lingxi fainted.
Lin Shushang: "?"
Help! Everyone in the Mu Rong family was really sick!
Lin Shuqiang raised her leg and was about to run away when Mu Rong Hong reached out to stop her. "Esteemed empress dowager, please hold your steps. I have something to say."
His tone was calm, without even the slightest hint of madness.
Looking at Lin Shu Qian's surprised expression, Mu Rong Hong smiled and walked to a nearby table. He picked up a hair ribbon and tied up his hair.
"I am truly sorry. I have my troubles. Thus, I was forced to use this appearance to see others." Murong Hong turned around again. He looked like a normal middle-aged man. With his tone, it was clear to Lin Shuqian that he was pretending to be crazy.
"I don't understand." Lin Shu looked at Mu Rong Hong and asked, "Why are you pretending to be crazy?"
"Just like how the empress dowager has to pretend to have a deep relationship with her father." Mu Rong Hong sat down and pointed to a chair. "Sit down."
Lin Shu was extremely vigilant. "The relationship between This Dowager and the late Emperor is so deep that you cannot slander them."
Mu Rong Hong chuckled softly. "If that's true, then why would the empress dowager come all the way here to see me because of me, a madman?"
As his thoughts were hit on the head, Lin Shu Qian could not help but let out a sigh of relief. She sat down on a chair and asked snappily, "What does Seventh Prince want to say?"
"I would like to ask the empress dowager why she came to the Royal Tomb."
"Because I missed Emperor Xian, I came to take a look." Lin Shu sighed.
Mu Rong Hong didn't answer. "I want to hear the truth."
Lin Shu Qian looked at Mu Rong Hong as if she was resigned to her fate. If it was anyone else, they would have just played a part in the farce. However, Mu Rong Hong's straightforward attempt to expose her made her lose her will to fight.
"The emperor is about to start his talent show, I want to stop him." Lin Shuyuan sighed lightly. "I thought that the late emperor would be able to restrain himself a bit, but I didn't think that he would send me here directly."
Mu Rong Hong laughed coldly, "Big brother wants to be a talent, even if father is revived, I won't be able to stop him."
Lin Shu looked at Mu Rong Hong in surprise. He didn't seem to be satisfied with Mu Rong Jie at all.
Mu Rong Hong also didn't want to hide it anymore, "My mother passed away that year, and my elder brother cried his heart out before he went to his spirit, but he returned to his house every night. From then on, I thought that my elder brother and mother had died together. "
Lin Shuqiang nodded his head, this was indeed something that Murong Jie could do.
"Since then, I've been pretending to be crazy. Big brother is narrow-minded, even if I'm his own little brother, I won't be able to live with him. "
"I was interested in the art of medicine from the start, so I decided to use the name of alchemy to refine medicine."
"Father is dead, and he threw me into the palace." Mu Rong Hong said mockingly, "My father is not a good person, my elder brother is not either."
Ever since Mu Rong Hong was young, he had always been sensitive to other people's emotions. Therefore, Mu Rong Jie's malice towards him made him feel chills down his spine.
Lin Shuqiang also sighed. The Heartless Emperor's family, especially those that coveted power and influence, simply did not know what they would do.
"But that's fine too, I don't like to care about the affairs of the court, so it's natural for me to be a mad king here."
Murong Jie laughed at himself as he stood up and took out a few bottles from the shelf behind him.
"This is the antidote, this is the soul calming medicine, this is the antidote …" Mu Rong Hong introduced each bottle as though it was a treasure. He then pushed the bottle to Lin Shu Qian.
"These are for you!"
"Why is the Seventh Prince so generous?"
"Hehe, I think you're the same as me." Mu Rong Hong paused for a second before continuing, "No, you're even more pitiful than me."
Lin Shu was speechless, he had actually hit the mark.
Mu Rong Hong could hide in the palace to refine medicine, but she still had to go back to the palace to face Mu Rong Jie.
"Then does Your Highness have any medicine that can be used to treat illnesses?"
Lin Shu Qian saw the confusion on Mu Rong Hong's face and explained, "There are many obstacles in my way in the palace. I often have to pretend to be sick but I'm afraid that the imperial physician will see through it.
Murong Hong wanted to refuse, but he was flattered. He slapped the table without hesitation and said, "Leave it to me. I'll make it before the empress dowager leaves the palace!"
