Although the wooden box was salvaged, the precious black dove inside had already turned into a pool of black water and leaked out completely, making it no longer of any value.

Liang Yanzhi was sent to prison for this.

Without the longevity cream, she became even crazier in prison, banging her head against the wall until it was bleeding.

Liang Yanbing, whose pregnancy was already stable, went to visit her sister in prison in person, accompanied by Shi Anxia. She was so frightened by her sister's miserable appearance that she was speechless.

When Liang Yanzhi saw her, she burst into tears and snot, "Sister, save me! Sister, save me! I feel so bad! I'm going to die... Sister, save me... I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Save me... Sister..."

Liang Yanbing felt bad, but there was nothing she could do. She just gave some silver to the jailer for wine, hoping that he would take care of her.

When he came out of jail, Shi Anxia asked, "Is there any way to get people to stop taking Fu Shou Gao?"

Liang Yanbing was silent for a moment, then asked, "If I can make a pill to remove the Fushou ointment, can I..." She gritted her teeth and said shamelessly, "Can I let my sister go home?"

Shi Anxia reminded her, "Mrs. Anguo, your sister is not an easy person to deal with. If you bring her home, won't you be pissed off every other day?"

Liang Yanbing said helplessly, "After all, she is my sister from the same mother. When she died, my mother was sad and blamed me. Forget it. I will go back to the Marquis' Mansion less often in the future. Can you help me?"

Shi Anxia thought for a moment and said, "I promise you, I'll let her go home at the end of the year, okay?"

"Why is it the end of the year?" Liang Yanbing was puzzled.

Why the end of the year? Shi Anxia thought, maybe by then, everything will be settled.

Seeing that the other party did not answer, Liang Yanbing did not bother.

The more she interacted with Shi Anxia, ​​the more she felt that this woman was not simple. She felt that she was playing a big game of chess, and she was just a small chess piece on the board.

But she still liked to get close to Shi Anxia, ​​just because she could say the name "Gao Qianhe".

She had consulted her husband about this name, and it was decided. This was the only one of her sons that was not named according to the generational order.

Liang Yanbing finally had the chance to ask, "Why did you say the name Gao Qianhe that day?"

Shi Anxia knew that the other party would ask this question, so she smiled and answered, "I saw that you were having a hard time that day, and I was afraid that you couldn't hold on. So I just thought of a name and asked you to think about it. Once a child has a name, he will be tenacious. Look, didn't he make it through?"

"Really?" Liang Yanbing was skeptical. How could the other party think of a random name that was the same as hers?

Is this mind reading?

Shi Anxia would never admit anything, "What else? If you don't like this name, you don't have to use it. I was just saying it casually."

"like."

"As long as you like it." Shi Anxia smiled secretly and changed the subject, "Since you used the name I gave you, you should help me make pills to remove the Fushou paste. I need them urgently. We'll pay you together later."

This is not about money. Liang Yanbing said, "In fact, things like Fushou Cream are not common, and Mu Yanhua is not everywhere. Why do you bother with this?"

Shi Anxia thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you to see it." She needed medicine urgently, so she had to make the drug maker feel a sense of urgency.

They had just come out of the prison where Liang Yanzhi was imprisoned, and they had not walked far. After turning a corner, they arrived at the special government office of the East Yuwei.

Shi Anxia found Ma Chuyi and asked him to take her to the dungeon.

In the dungeon, there were bursts of ghosts howling.

Liang Yanbing looked at the people imprisoned in the prison with curiosity. They were suffering the same torture as Liang Yanzhi, pulling their hair, banging their heads against the wall, and curling up on the ground wailing.

Some people didn't make any sound, but they were shaking violently. It was clearly June, and the summer was getting hotter, but they were so cold that they huddled together and shivered.

Shi Anxia pointed at a middle-aged man who was bleeding from his head. He looked to be in his early thirties. "This man defeated Xing Mingyue in the ring and became the new champion. He didn't have time to be happy because he got addicted to Fu Shou cream in the ring and was arrested on the spot."

After walking through several cells, she pointed at another man in his twenties and said, "This man lost to Wei Yuzhi and was no match for him. The next day, he challenged Wei Yuzhi again, but he showed amazing power and knocked him off the stage with one punch."

The few of them walked along the way, introducing themselves as they went.

Almost all the people imprisoned here were captured from the competition. In other words, almost all of them were armed.

Ma Chuyi pointed to a cell with a missing door and said, "The door was broken by a drug addict yesterday, and no one has been found to repair it yet. If this competition continues, not only will the cells of our Dongyu Guard be overcrowded, but the cells of the Weihuang Division will also be full."

Liang Yanbing naturally knew about the martial arts competition, and was frightened when she heard it. After saying goodbye to Ma Chuyi and leaving the Dongyuwei dungeon, she felt that she could breathe smoothly.

She asked curiously, "Fu Shou Gao is not a candy that can be bought everywhere on the street. How come everyone can eat it?"

"Then how did your sister get it?" Shi Anxia asked herself and answered, "She stole Tang Chuwen's longevity cream. Where did Tang Chuwen get it from? Think about it carefully, if Tang Chuwen and Tang Churui hadn't lived in the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, who would have remembered them?"

Liang Yanbing finally figured out something. "Because they can enter and leave the Duke of Huguo's mansion, someone gave them the longevity paste to eat?"

"I have a nominal aunt, you know, Tang Chuyue. I asked, and some officials' wives also gave her food to eat. But she is smart, not as stupid as her two brothers."

Liang Yanbing was overwhelmed by what she heard. "The official's wife?"

Does that mean that officials in the Northern Wing court have also started taking this stuff?

Shi Anxia knew that she had already figured out the problem. "A few days ago, a group of old officials submitted a memorial to impeach Lord Gao. Did you know that?"

Liang Yanbing nodded, "It was something that happened between me and my sister that affected my husband."

"That's not necessarily the case. If this hadn't happened, they would have just impeached him under a different name. The main reason is that Mr. Gao was in their way."

After the two got into the carriage, Shi Anxia lifted the curtain and described what happened in the Golden Palace that day. "A large group of old ministers came together to impeach Lord Gao. As a result, Liu Zhaoye took the longevity cream and his whole body became limp. He fell down in the hall several times. Finally, he was taken to the Imperial Hospital. The doctors checked and found that he had been taking it for at least several years, and his body had long been hollowed out."

Liang Yanbing only felt that the wind in June was cold, "So if we cut off the longevity elixir for these people..."

"You have to do whatever he tells you to do. Otherwise, he won't let you continue to smoke." Shi Anxia sighed, "Now it's just this bunch of useless old ministers, it's okay. Wait until one day, all the civil and military officials in the court are like this, the soldiers can't run on the battlefield, the people don't work, and can only sell their children, what will happen? Madam Anguo, can we hurry up?"
