My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 133: Reach a Deal

Both Yun Tian Chen and Lou Zhan Tian were eagerly waiting to see what conditions for trade Lou Mu Yan was going to propose.

Lou girl, how many Marrow Cleansing Pills do you still have? The purple-robed mans action of rubbing the Buddhist beads stopped and asked.

Lou Mu Yan stretched out three fingers: There are three more. All of which can be traded to the Imperial Family.

Alright! This Honour will allow you to make three conditions. As long as our Imperial Family can do it, we will promise you. Seeing Lou Mu Yan this little girl being so straightforward, the Yun Clans Ancestor also bluntly promised.

And in his heart, he thoughtthis girl sure could hide things well. There were actually three more Marrow Cleansing Pills. With his guess, that probably wasnt all. If he let those old things from the other Clans know about it, then he might have to personally go out and request the pills for the Imperial Family. It was better to keep this a secret.

Lou Mu Yan smiled sweetly, like a little sly fox, Alright, Imperial Ancestor is much more straightforward than Paternal Uncle Emperor!

The corner of Yun Tian Chens mouth twitched. Last time this girl had extorted him using the Energy Nourishing Pill, and he only just hesitated for a little bit, where was he not straightforward? She sure could hold grudges.

Lou Mu Yan ignored Yun Tian Chens gaze that carried slight aggrievement and said to the Yun Clans Ancestor: Then I wont be polite in making my requests.

Make them.

First, if the Gu Clan participated in the plan to assassinate me, then I want a right to deal with everyone in the Gu Clan, including Imperial Noble Consort Gu. Lou Mu Yans eyes were sharp. She wouldnt allow the venomous snake of their Lou Clan be handed over to anyone else to deal with.

The Gu Clan felt too weird to her, especially the use of borrowing external forces to forcibly advance their cultivation base which was the same as those assassins. They definitely wouldnt be as simple as they appeared on the surface and being merchants for royalty was probably also just a cover.

Alright. Even if you dont touch the Gu Clan, This Honour wont let them go either. There was a deep chill in the eyes of the Yun Clans Ancestor. They dared to scheme against Yanzhou Kingdoms Emperor, so they must prepare themselves to pay the price. Now that the Lou Clans girl wanted to deal with them, then he was happy to shake his hand off this matter.

Lou Mu Yan nodded and continued: Second, our Lou Clan wants to build a private army of our own, not affiliated to the Imperial Family, but will never betray Yanzhou Kingdom.

Yun Tian Chen revealed a look of surprise. This Lou girls courage was truly huge. His feelings of affection to the Lou Clan were stronger than his wariness of them, so he wouldnt object it. He just turned his eyes to the purple-clothed man to wait for him to decide.

The Yun Clans Ancestor thought for a bit, then agreed: You can, but the number of people must not exceed one hundred.

This girl, Lou Mu Yan, was a famous Alchemist, and was also backed by Ming Xiu and the others. It wasnt difficult to build a strong private army. In order to not threaten the interests of the Imperial Family, he could agree, but must limit the number of people. One hundred people would affect the Imperial Family but had no subversive power.

No problem. Lou Mu Yan smiled lightly and agreed.

Good armies werent about quantity, but about quality. The limit of one hundred soldiers was also acceptable to her.

The last point, you must allow me complete access and to take as I please from the Imperial Familys Spiritual Herb Treasury.

Seeing the Yun Clans Ancestor and Yun Tian Chens expressions change, she chuckled and added: Of course, I wont take randomly, let alone empty the Imperial Familys Spiritual Herb Treasury. Instead, Ill use certain pills to compensate, such as the Energy Nourishing Pill I gave you before.

The list she issued last time contained a lot of rare Spiritual Herbs, and the Imperial Family provided them all. If she wanted to raise one hundred people for the private army of the Lou Clan, then it was naturally better to use other peoples resources. Being able to save some of her own was a portion saved.

Hearing Lou Mu Yan mention the Energy Nourishing Pill, Yun Tian Chens eyes lit up, and when the Yun Clans Ancestor remembered what the enshrined Alchemist had said, he was also interested now.

The Energy Nourishing Pill had miraculous effects on internal and external injuries. Within it, there were several Spiritual Herb ingredients that even the enshrined Grade 3 Alchemist, who had studied it for several months, couldnt figure out what they were. If one wanted to obtain it, they had to find Lou Mu Yan. 

We can promise you, but if its just providing Energy Nourishing Pills and if the amount is too small, it wouldnt be effective on the battlefield. So we need you to reproduce a copy for the Imperial Family.

The Yun Clans Ancestor knew this request could be a little too much, after all, pill formulas were as precious as the life of an Alchemist. But if Yanzhou Kingdom wanted to use it on the battlefield in large quantities, obviously it was impossible to wait for Lou Mu Yan to slowly refine it. 

The problem he thought about, Lou Mu Yan also was thinking about. As if she had that much energy to refine a large quantity of Energy Nourishing Pills or other pills to provide them. It was just a copy of the pill formula, she was also thinking the same, so she was happy to be more relaxed. I can.

After she spoke, she immediately took out a blank jade slip, put it on her head, and she used her Mental Energy to replicate a copy of the Energy Nourishing Pill formula. Then she casually handed it over to the Yun Clans Ancestor, This pill formula can be regarded as my sincerity in this cooperation.

Little Lou girl is better than the others in the Lou Clan in handling affairs. The Lou Clan has a hopeful future. The Yun Clans Ancestor reached out his hand and took the jade slip. He took a look with his Mental Energy and smiled at Lou Zhan Tian with a rare compliment. 

Lou Zhan Tians tall and sturdy body straightened up with a face of seriousness and pride: The colour blue is made out of indigo but is more vivid than indigo¹. My familys Yaner is among the best of the best.

Hearing Lou Zhan Tians words, the three people, including Lou Mu Yan, couldnt help holding their foreheads. His skin sure was thick. 

Lou girl, This Honour can allow you to use the Spiritual Herbs in the Imperial Familys Private Treasury, but I hope youll promise me a condition. The Yun Clans Ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly and covered the cunning light in his eyes. 

Lou Mu Yan took a sip of tea and asked slowly: Imperial Ancestor, please say.

If your Lou Clan wants to build a private army, then they must be raised with pills right? The Yun Clans Ancestor said with a smile. 

Thats natural. I suppose the Imperial Ancestor wants the pills Im providing for the Lou Clans private army? Lou Mu Yan guessed the old foxs thoughts accurately. 

HAHA The Yun Clans Ancestor laughed heartily with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: Little girl sure is smart.

Sure. Its just a few Grade 1 and 2 pills. Just provide me with your Spiritual Herbs when the time comes, then find me two Alchemists. Ill teach them how to refine them and just supply them together. Lou Mu Yan said with a smile, paying it no mind, but there were calculations in the bottom of her eyes. 

This sure was a big fish that came to her door. Not only did the Imperial Family provide the huge cost of Spiritual Herbs, now she could even use this to ask for two free Alchemists to make pills for the Imperial Family and Lou Clan. It saved time and effort and was mutually beneficialexcellent. 

Yun Tian Chen and the Yun Clans Ancestor couldnt help but hold their foreheads. What did she mean by just a few Grade 1 and 2 pills? 

Grade 1 pills were already very rare on the market, and Grade 2 pills were even more scarce. Even the auction houses of the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance rarely auctioned them. At once, perhaps only one or two. If her indifferent tone was heard by the Sword Masters outside who waited for the pills to enter the market and be auctioned, then that was definitely going to pull aggro. 

But hearing Lou Mu Yans tone, she didnt just know one or two types of Grade 1 or 2 pills. Their hearts grew fiery with desire now. 

One must know that raising an Alchemist wasnt just supplying them with resources. Without pill formulas, then it was like having ingredients for food but no recipe. Since Lou girl wanted Alchemists, then theyd naturally give, and she could even train one or two for their Imperial Family. It was killing two birds with one stone. 

Deal. The Yun Clans Ancestor immediately made a decision. 

Lou Mu Yans beautiful eyes were as bright as the stars, Straightforward. I hope we could cooperate happily!

The two parties signed a contract at Lou Mu Yans request. When they left the Imperial Pavilion Hall, Lou Zhan Tian quickly stuffed Lou Mu Yan into the carriage, then ran outside the hall and began to yell and curse, making the hidden spies unable to resist lighting a candle for him.
