My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! Chapter 2226

Chapter 2226 So Alike
“It is said that if you gather these three divine-rank medicines and then add a sacred-rank blood vermilion fruit to the mix, you will be able to refine the spirit-returning pill that can reverse life and death.”
Duan Yue propped his chin and looked up at Yuanzhen. “Is this true?”
Yuanzhen was taken by surprise and then contemplated before answering, “I have indeed heard of these medicines. However, it has only remained a legend after all these years.”
“This prince has heard that the winter hunt this time will be in the arctic, the icebound snow territory.
!!
“If I can find that snow territory divine flower, then it’d be perfect.”
Yuanzhen couldn’t help but sigh seeing her master getting lost in his thoughts. “This maidservant heard that the snow territory divine flower only lives in the coldest places. Touching it occasionally is fine, but touching it repeatedly will trigger it. It will open up all its petals and spit out all the ice spikes within. Once they engulf a person, they will not even leave behind a single scrap of their corpse.”
“Consequently, it is extremely difficult to pick the snow territory divine flower.”
“Furthermore, this kind of divine-rank medicine is usually just a rumor. In reality, no one has ever acquired one.”
Duan Yue breathed out and commented with a spurious smile while still propping his head. “So truly alike. Covered with spikes that reap lives without warning.”
As Duan Yue spoke, he seemed to think of something and smiled.
Yuanzhen did not understand what Duan Yue was talking about and observed him for a bit.
Seeing that Duan Yue did not say anything else, she curtsied and slowly retreated.
The sky had already darkened completely. The various candleholders in the Taiji Palace and the palace lanterns lit up the interior.
Green glazed tiles covered vermilion buildings, with luxurious pavilions scattered throughout.
Layer after layer, they were situated in picturesque disorder.
The glow from the palace lanterns set off the setting sun reflected on the winter lake. The darkness in the distance slowly draped over the watch tower and permeated the sky…
—-My Qiao’s section break—-
The residence of Anyi Prefecture’s prefecture lord.
After sending away the clingy Madam Hua, Anyi Prefecture’s Prefecture Lord Guan Zhaotang sat in the main hall and looked sullenly at the middle-aged man who was kneeling in front of him with a hanging head.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“This subordinate has failed in his mission. Please punish this subordinate.”
Guan Zhaotang looked at him coldly. “Forget it. This prefecture lord has also underestimated the enemy this time. You first get up!”
“Thank you, Prefecture Lord.” Qi Lianhai stood up while still lowering his head.
“This prefecture lord has recently acquired a spiritual breakthrough pill.” Guan Zhaotang took out a porcelain bottle from his inner world and said exuberantly, “First set everything aside and wait until this prefecture lord has advanced to level-14 spiritual cultivation.”
“Congratulations, Prefecture Lord.” Qi Lianhai congratulated him expressionlessly.
Unfortunately, Guan Zhaotang was absorbed in joy and did not realize that there was something off about Qi Lianhai.
“Go keep watch outside.”
“Yes.” Qi Lianhai walked out and closed the door. He turned around and looked coldly at the indistinct figure of Guan Zhaotang through the window.
At the same time, inside the housing compound of Anyi Prefecture’s official mansion.
Guan Yibo had run back emotionally, and she hastily helped up her mother, who was clinging on to her last breath, from the bed.
She instructed the maidservant to support her mother as she took out a translucent red fruit from her inner world.
Guan Yibo emotionally fed the small fruit into Concubine Jiang’s mouth.
Mom! Quickly swallow it, Mom! Guan Yibo urged hastily in her mind.
