In just a few hours, Qin Wei sent people non-stop to arrest those who spread rumors and caused trouble, questioned them overnight, and learned that they were all the people of Southern Chu in the past.

When I asked them who instructed them, they all shook their heads, saying that they had heard it from a storyteller.

However, in a few days, rumors spread in Suiyang, and they came without any warning, and they just heard about it!

Such nonsense dares to fool him Qin Wei!

After asking about the location of the storytelling hall, Qin Wei immediately took the city guards and arrived at an Anwen hall on Chengxi Road that looked a little old.

Nearly 100 guards rushed in first, restrained the storyteller with a goat's beard on the high platform, and the rest of the listeners, and then divided into two teams to strictly guard the exits where they could escape, and searched each corner where they could hide one by one.

Qin Wei had a sword hanging from his waist, his eyes were sharp and he scanned the surroundings, and his cold appearance did not allow others to disobey orders.

He walked up to the high platform, and saw the storyteller with a frightened expression, and his whole body trembled.

"Who instructed you to spread rumors?"

The storyteller knelt down and shouted wildly, "The general spared my life, it was the people upstairs who gave me a lot of money, and ordered me to talk here for a few days, and I was wronged!" ”

Qin Wei suddenly grabbed Mr. Storyteller's collar, "You mean, the person who made you spread rumors is upstairs at the moment?"

The storyteller's legs were weak, and he let Qin Wei pick it up easily, nodding at Qin Wei's words like pounding garlic.

After the collar was loosened, Mr. Storyteller collapsed to the ground, and he was shocked.

Qin Wei stepped up the stairs step by step, and there was only a woman wearing a hat with a thin gaule hanging upstairs. When he saw the woman, Qin Wei suddenly felt that all this was too smooth! Smoothly seemed to have lured him here on purpose.

Before Qin Wei could ask, the woman spoke first, and her words were full of cold arrogance, "The thread has been so smooth, but you still have to spend half an hour, it's really useless!" ”

Just as Qin Wei thought, everything was set up, just to lure them into the bait.

"You are Mu Chengji's daughter, Mu Xin?" Qin Weidao.

"Presumptuous!" The woman suddenly scolded, "The name of the king of Nan Chuning and the county lord is not allowed to be called by a small general!" ”

Qin Weike didn't have the patience to accompany the bend, and without saying a word, he immediately drew his sword and picked off the woman's hat, and his movements were neat and fast.

The woman's appearance made Qin Wei's eyes flash a little stunned, it was the woman who stabbed the frightened horse to death on the street, but she never thought that she was Mu Chengji's widow.

Qin Wei unconsciously lowered his voice, "This general is ordered by His Majesty to arrest the rumor-mongers. ”

Mu Guixue shook her head disapprovingly, "How can the county lord have spread rumors, what the people have spread is just the truth, and these years of happiness should be known and satisfied." North Beam ...... It will be overturned! ”

Qin Wei did not move like a mountain, controlling his anger, "Come on, take down the remnants of Southern Chu Mu Xin!" ”

"If you don't work for the general, the lord of this county has feet." Mu Guixue was neither humble nor arrogant, and with the pride she should have as the princess of Nanchu, she stepped step by step into Jingwenfang.

Since the morning, Helian Minghuai has been pale and vomiting wildly, and Queen Xiao Fuyue ordered the imperial doctors of the Imperial Doctor Department to explore the pulse one by one and come up with a way to cure the disease.

All the imperial doctors, including Ning Bai, only came up with one result. The Imperial Physician's Department is reporting to the queen, "Your Majesty, your majesty has become ill due to overwork, and you can't sleep at night, so you only need to rest for a few more days." ”

The queen's phoenix eyes were full of worry, frowning, and the words of the envoy made her feel a little relieved. "It's okay, these days, there is no need for all the imperial doctors to wait here for the holy order, just let the adults leave a few imperial doctors on duty in front of the bed."

is making a bow to agree, "The lower official obeys the order." ”

In the end, the adults left three doctors who had a long medical experience and were quite famous in medical skills to stay on duty. Ning Bai was buried in the pile of people and went out of the temple with the waves.

When Ning Bai was leaving the palace, he saw Qin Wei, Wen Su's friend who had seen in King Hui's Mansion that day.

Qin Wei changed his usual clothes today, wearing a silver armor and stepping on military boots, his expression was cold and grim.

Ning Bai was not familiar with him, and seeing that she was so uneasy to provoke, she didn't dare to come forward to say hello.

"Imperial Doctor Ning." What Ning Bai didn't expect was that Qin Wei would take the initiative to stop her.

Ning Bai carefully walked out of the crowd, Qin Wei's official rank was higher than her, and when he saw someone, he had to salute, "Xia Guan has seen General Qin." ”

Qin Wei asked, "What's wrong today?" Why did so many imperial doctors come out of His Majesty's bedchamber?"

Ning Bai responded: "Your Majesty has become ill from hard work, and he is still asleep at the moment. If the general has something important at the moment, the queen mother is in His Majesty's bedroom. ”

Qin Wei smiled and refused: "It's not a big deal, anyway, I've already caught the person, and it doesn't matter if I'm locked up for a few more days."

Ning Bai didn't know what to say, so he smiled and gestured.

Qin Wei suddenly turned to Ning Bai, "Speaking of this person, he is somewhat similar to Imperial Doctor Ning. Because I had met her before, I would feel familiar when I saw Imperial Doctor Ning that day. Fortunately, it was a woman, otherwise, I would have thought that it was one person who saw it twice. ”

There was a hint of surprise in Ning Bai's eyes, and it was fleeting, there were still people in this world who looked similar to her?

Qin Wei continued: "Imperial Physician Ning is young and often lives outside the world, so I don't know that King Ning of Southern Chu has a widowed daughter named Mu Xin. She is the one I have captured today. ”

Ning Bai's mind was suddenly struck by something, and he was slightly stunned, and then quickly forced himself to calm down and not reveal any detectable clues, and at this moment there was only one thought in his mind: "Could it be Ah Xue?"

In order not to let Qin Wei not see anything, Ning Bai pretended to be relaxed, smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "It's the lower officials who are lonely and unheard."

Qin Wei glanced at the dormitory, "That's it, this matter is for Your Majesty, I'll come back in a few days!" Then he turned to Ning Bai, "Imperial Doctor Ning, take your leave." ”

Ning Bai said silently and saluted Qin Wei.

As the night deepened, Ning Bai put on a black cloak and carried a lantern to walk in the direction of the Zhengqing Palace.

She knocked lightly on the back door of the Zhengqing Palace, and the person who came was Xu Feng as she expected.

Xu Feng looked at Ning Bai who was dressed like this, and was a little surprised, "Imperial Doctor Ning, ...... you are?"

Ning Bai quickly clarified his intentions, his expression was serious, "I want to see His Royal Highness." ”

Seeing this, Xu Feng didn't ask any more questions, and led Ning Bai to Helian Jianyi's bedroom.

When Ning Bai stepped into Helian Jianyi's bedroom, he took off his cloak and hood, bypassed a screen painted with pear blossoms, and saw Helian Jianyi sitting on the couch leisurely sipping tea.

Ning Bai stepped forward and saluted, "Ning Bai is brave and wants to borrow His Highness's personal token for use." ”

Helian Jinyi took a sip of tea, and then put it down, "The personal token is my personal property, you want to go for no reason like this, I always know what you are going to do, right?" ”

Ning Bai prepared his speech in advance, and said calmly: "It's just some private matters of Ning Bai, it's not enough to say."

"Private?" Helian Jianyi looked at Ning Bai, "Didn't Imperial Doctor Ning go because of Mu Xin, the lord of Southern Chu County?" ”

Ning Bai was very nervous in his heart, sneered, and said casually, "It seems that His Royal Highness also knows that General Qin has brought back Mu Xin." I didn't hide it from His Highness, Ning Bai was entrusted by General Qin to go. ”

Helian Jianyi suddenly chuckled, "Then you tell me that since you are entrusted by General Qin, why did you come to me for a token?"

"Yes...... Ning Bai was dumbfounded for a while, "It's Ning Bai who was confused and forgot to ask General Qin for a token." Ning Bai doesn't know many people, he knows both and has an identity, it's late at night, what Ning Bai can ask for, the only one His Royal Highness. ”

Helian Jianyi said: "Then I have to thank Imperial Doctor Ning for his favor." However, I have to tell Doctor Ning one thing. ”

Ning Bai said: "Ning Bai listens."

"Imperial Physician Ning doesn't know, the person arrested by General Qin, where will it be Mu Xin, the lord of Southern Chu County." Helian Jinyi looked into Ning Bai's eyes, "Then Mu Xin, the county lord of Southern Chu, isn't it in front of my eyes?" ”

Ning Bai was stunned for an instant, his pupils shrank sharply, and he looked at Helian Jinyi in surprise, but he still denied it, "Your Highness is cautious!" ”

Helian Jin Yi propped her chin and said slowly: "When you learned the news, you were eager to see with your own eyes if that person was just Mu Guixue." But Qin Wei is not easy to fool, to inform you of the news, is he trying to try who you are? After all, the two look similar, and it's hard to say that they don't have anything to do with each other. ”

Ning Bai's whole person seemed to be deflated, the pestle was in place, and he couldn't move, "Are you...... Already knew? ”

Helian Jianyi slowly got down, his body was long and jade, he walked in front of Ning Bai, picked up Ning Bai's jaw, and accurately tapped Ning Bai's lips, and tasted it lightly. As if holding a treasure, he hugged Ning Bai into his arms and hugged him tightly, his eyes were endlessly possessive, his voice was low and charming, and he said lightly: "I don't care if you are Ning Bai or Mu Xin, I just want you as a person."

As Ning Bai asked, Helian Jin Yi took her to the palace dungeon. Along the way, Helian Jianyi never let go of Ning Bai's hand, even if the spring night was cool, Helian Jinyi felt very hot and warm.

Ning Bai gradually calmed down, but let him lead him, for some reason, the bottom of his heart was relieved.

The prison guards of the dungeon were very surprised when they saw that His Royal Highness had arrived here, and hurriedly saluted.

"I've seen His Royal Highness."

Helian Jinyi took Ning Bai by the hand, hiding her behind her and not letting anyone see her. "Your Highness wants to meet the people that General Qin brought back today."

The prison guards retreated one after another and led the way to the Second Highness. It stands to reason that the people brought back by General Qin today are not of low status, and they should be strictly guarded, and no one should be allowed to visit. But General Qin gave an order that if someone came to visit, no matter when, they would lead the way and not be blocked.

But it's late at night, why are there so many people visiting?

There were two prison guards leading Helian Jianyi and Ning Bai, as well as Xu Feng who followed behind, and walked a secluded path that did not have to pass through the various cells, the path was wide enough for five people to be side by side, and after more than 100 steps, they walked down a winding spiral staircase built against the wall, and the candlelight in the dungeon was dim, and the further down they went, there was a damp smell and an unpleasant smell of blood pouring into the nasal cavity, which was very unpleasant. Until the flat ground, there was a large empty space in the middle, where the interrogation table was placed, and the walls were covered with various torture instruments, which was extremely terrifying.

To the left and right are the cells, and the guards lead them to the right. There were cells on both sides of the corridor, and when you went inside, you turned the corner and there was only one cell left.

After Xu Feng sent the two prison guards away, Ning Bai looked carefully, and there was a woman sitting against the wall in the cell, with her head buried and her hair a little messy.

Ning Bai let go of the hand held by Helian Jinyi, took off his cloak and hood, walked quickly to the front of the cell, lay on the wooden fence, and asked softly tentatively, "Ah Xue?" ”
