Chapter 6
Just at this moment, a unique strange fragrance wafted over, and Su Xuan's brows lifted slightly.
"I have heard that recently a master took the initiative to accept His Majesty's bounty, summoned wind and rain for His Majesty, and resolved the drought in our State of Han. I thought that masters were all old seniors with white hair and hairpins, but I didn't expect it to be someone so young!"
A woman's voice sounded not far from Su Xuan.
Su Xuan slowly raised his head and looked at the person speaking. First, he only saw a pair of mountain peaks.
"Who are you?"
Su Xuan actually recognized the woman in front of him at the first moment.
After all, they were too ridiculously large.
Compared to that enchanting figure, large is the way to go.
However, in order to maintain the posture of a master, and because this was indeed the first time they met, he could only pretend that he had never seen the person in front of him, and his tone sounded extremely unfamiliar.
"If I remember correctly, in order for me to refine elixir peacefully, His Majesty has forbidden anyone from coming here. How did you come here? Are you not afraid of His Majesty's blame?"
"His Majesty cannot bear to blame me!" The woman was wearing a tight-fitting purple dress, her steps swaying, the hem of her dress dragging on the ground. She walked slowly to Su Xuan's side, a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, "It's just that besides the ability to summon wind and rain, you are actually proficient in refining elixir and medicine, which really surprised me a bit!"
She sniffed the medicinal fragrance lightly.
Although she didn't know what kind of elixir was being refined, it was indeed not refined randomly.
Medicine and Gu are not separate; she is proficient in making Gu, and also proficient in making medicine.
Before receiving Ji Ji Wuye's order, she had actually heard of Su Xuan and knew that the King of Han had recently favored this person very much, but she didn't take it to heart.
Don't look at how the King of Han favors this person now; in fact, it is only because he prayed for rain for the King of Han and resolved the drought.
If it were any civil or military official in the court who could resolve the drought for the King of Han, they would also be favored by the King of Han.
It was only immediately after learning that this person was refining elixir for the King of Han and was suspected of being proficient in the art of elixir that she gradually began to take an interest in this person.
After all, the reason she could be favored by the King of Han, besides her own capital being outstanding, was that she was proficient in pharmacology and knew how to make incense. Every time the King of Han was tired, he would go to her place, and she could use specially made incense to let the King of Han have a good sleep.
As time went on, the King of Han had treated her place as a harbor of gentleness, the destination of his soul.
But if, at this time, another person proficient in pharmacology appeared in front of the King of Han, for her, it would not be a good thing.
This person can summon wind and rain; no one knows to what extent his attainments in elixir have reached.
If it were just someone fishing for fame, that would be fine.
If he were truly a master, and the elixir he refined were relied upon by the King of Han, and the King of Han then favored this person, it would make her lose a large part of her value to the King of Han.
Admittedly, her own capital is very solid.
But among those who can mix in the harem, are there any ugly people?
Thus, she decided to come and meet this person.
"If just being proficient in refining elixir and medicine makes you surprised, then there are probably many more things you will be surprised about next." Su Xuan said lightly, and asked the woman: "I don't know how to address you?"
"They all call me Lady Mingzhu!" A charming smile curled up at the corner of the woman's mouth.
"Lady Mingzhu?" Su Xuan was stunned, and said: "I heard that His Majesty has a favorite concubine called Lady Mingzhu; it should be you!"
"Since you know my identity, why don't you treat me with respect? Are you not afraid that I will report you to His Majesty?"
A faint smile curled up at the corner of Su Xuan's mouth, "Women, sure enough, are all unreasonable creatures!"
"What do you mean by that?" Lady Mingzhu's brows lifted slightly, somewhat unhappy.
Su Xuan said: "Literal meaning."
"His Majesty has an edict that during my elixir refining period, anyone is forbidden from coming to disturb. You violated His Majesty's prohibition and came here privately, just to show off your power?"
"What a sharp tongue!" Lady Mingzhu sighed.
"I wouldn't dare!" Su Xuan's tone was calm, and his words suddenly turned, "You came here with a big plan!"
"Why do you say that?" Lady Mingzhu asked softly.
"From the moment you appeared until now, there has been a strange fragrance permeating. This strange fragrance now even suppresses the medicinal fragrance produced by my refining elixir. In this fragrance, there is medicinal power that can make people hallucinate."
"Are you trying to cast an illusion on me?"
Su Xuan sighed: "I'm afraid even His Majesty would not think that the Lady Mingzhu he favors is actually a master of illusion hidden extremely deep!"
Hearing Su Xuan reveal the truth.
Lady Mingzhu's expression couldn't help but change slightly.
She did not continue to hide, but said in a deep voice: "Even if you peeked into the mystery in the fragrance, so what? In the time you talked to me, this fragrance has completely shrouded this place. As long as you sniffed it once, you would be caught!"
"Is that so?" Su Xuan's eyes drooped, "Lady, can you tell me why you want to attack me? You and I have no relatives or friends, and also no hatred or resentment!"
"You want to know?" Lady Mingzhu's beautiful eyes smiled, asking Su Xuan.
Su Xuan nodded gently.
"You will know sooner or later, but now, it is not the time!" Lady Mingzhu chose to sell a mystery; she was prepared to wait until the dust settled before telling Su Xuan her purpose.
At that time, a Gu worm would have been planted in Su Xuan's body.
He would have to be controlled by her!
Since Su Xuan could choose to come out of the mountains for a bounty of ten thousand taels of gold, it means he is vain. Such a person's fear of death is also beyond that of ordinary people.
He absolutely does not want to die.
By then, under the threat of death, Su Xuan would have to agree to any of her requests.
Lady Mingzhu thought very beautifully.
But in the end, she still overlooked one thing.
Since Su Xuan is a master who can summon wind and rain, although he is vain, he undoubtedly has real skills.
Why did she think her means could work on Su Xuan?
Lady Mingzhu waved her sleeves, and a burst of blue mist flew out from her sleeves, submerging toward Su Xuan. She intended to urge the hallucinogenic feeling brought by the fragrance to the extreme, so as to temporarily make Su Xuan lose his ability to act.
However, just as this mist was about to reach Su Xuan, Su Xuan's deep voice sounded, "Wind, come!"
A strong wind was born, blowing the mist away.
