"I've been running out of the city for the past few days, and the situation in the city isn't very clear, and it shouldn't have been very serious at first, so the butler hasn't reported it to me." In addition, the medicinal herb shop under Gu Chen's name has always been in sufficient supply, so the shopkeepers of the shops below have nothing to report.

I just don't know why this situation has suddenly become so serious.

"These people won't get sick for no reason, if this matter is not investigated, I'm afraid the capital will be chaotic." Qin Niang thought, how could it be so coincidental that the woman from Miao Jiang came to the capital, and when she turned around, these ordinary people fell ill collectively?

Gu Chen's secret guards all have their own unique skills, and they are first-class, they don't find out at all when they hide in the shadows on weekdays, but once Gu Chen screams, they will immediately flash out.

Gu Qing is the captain of the secret guard under him, and general affairs generally only need to be explained to him, and he will handle it properly, after Gu Chen ordered it, they immediately went to investigate.

It's just that before they could start investigating, someone leaked the whereabouts of Doctor Xiao, and almost in a few breaths, the entire capital knew the news, and overnight, the gate of Gu's house was surrounded by people with three layers inside and three layers outside.

When Gu Chen was about to go out the next day, he was surrounded by the people who were swarming up.

"Gu Gongzi, I heard that Divine Doctor Xiao is in your house, can you ask Divine Doctor to take care of our illness? In this life, we will repay his kindness as cattle and horses. ”

"Yes, Gu Gongzi, if the divine doctor is in your house, you can do it, please intercede for us, many people in this capital are sick, even if he doesn't need to do it himself, he will diagnose the pulse and tell the doctors in these medical halls to do it."

"Gu Gongzi, please, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter!"

……

For a while, there were kneeling outside the door, begging bitterly, just hoping that the divine doctor would show his face, even if he could simply look and smell and cut it, everyone also knows that the divine doctor is generally not so easy to act.

But now there are too many people with the same disease in the capital, if there is no person with excellent medical skills to come out and give it a look, I am afraid that the doctors of these medical halls in the capital will not know what to do.

"You are a little anxious, Rong Benshao went into the house to ask." Gu Chen said, and retreated back to the door, ordering someone to close the door tightly, isolating all the hustle and bustle from the door.

He can't get out now, so he doesn't know what the situation is outside, and if the city is really full of patients, I'm afraid that the palace will also get the news, and there are not enough doctors in the general medical hall in the capital, and those imperial doctors in the palace will also be sent out.

After all, if the people are not in peace, there will be chaos, and besides, there are foreign envoys living in the Honglu Pavilion, and if things really make things bigger, it will inevitably lead to war between the two countries.

Although Donglin is not afraid of a small Miaojiang, as a country that provokes wars, it will inevitably be scolded by the world in the future, and after the abdication of the saint in the future, the historian will also make a note for him here.

"Master." Gu Qing swept over the wall and flashed in.

Gu Chen asked, "What's going on outside?" Are there really so many people who get the disease? ”

Gu Qing said respectfully: "There are probably hundreds of people who are sick, but the doctors in those medical halls have limited medical skills, but there are few who can be completely cured, and the effect is still slow, so in the past few days, people are getting more and more tired, therefore."

As soon as they heard that Doctor Xiao was in the house, they were so desperate to come over and ask Doctor Xiao for help. ”

Gu Chen tightened his brows: "Just hundreds of people can consume all the medicinal materials in the capital?" ”

He subconsciously felt that there were people here who were maliciously inciting public resentment and spreading and expanding rumors.

"It's not that all of them are out of stock, it's just that the one or two herbs that are used more are currently in short supply, and some shops have begun to increase in price, which is almost uncontrollable." Gu Qing paused, and then said, "This matter must have been known in the palace, and the emperor should also have a headache, in the early dynasty, Miao Jiang's envoys went to the main hall and said that they had a way to cure these epidemics, but ......"

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, from the time Gu Qing mentioned those people in Miaojiang, he had a guess in his heart, and when he heard a "but" at this moment, he immediately confirmed in his heart that these people were inexplicably suffering from the same epidemic, and he was afraid that they would be inseparable from these Miaojiang people.

"They said that Xishu has always wanted to annex Miaojiang, and as long as Donglin is willing to help Miaojiang, they are willing to treat these people in the capital."

As soon as Gu Qing's voice fell, Gu Chen's face immediately showed a hint of understanding.

"It seems that eighty percent of these people have been poisoned by these Miao Jiang people, you will lead Doctor Xiao out of the back door for a while, let him take a good look at these patients and confirm whether they have been poisoned." If it is poisoned by Miao Jiang, I am afraid that ordinary doctors will not be able to see a doctor at all.

But fortunately, Doctor Xiao is here, and he will definitely be able to see it as soon as he makes a move.

Although the miracle doctors have tempers, they are not so approachable, and they treat everyone, but now the situation is critical, and the doctors are parents, even if he doesn't do it himself, he can prescribe some prescriptions and let those doctors deal with it.

"Yes." After Gu Qing answered, he followed Gu Chen to the courtyard where Doctor Xiao lived.

Although Doctor Xiao has been closed in the mansion, he has heard some rumors outside, so when Gu Chen asked him to quietly go outside to check it out, he readily agreed.

Immediately, he changed his outfit and went out through the back door with Gu Qing.

After the dispersal of the court, the matter of the court spread, I heard that those civil ministers and military generals quarreled, some thought that the people are the foundation of the country, should agree to the conditions of the Miaojiang mission, first save the people in Beijing.

Some people think that Miao Jiang put forward the conditions at this moment, his heart is livable, and he can't lose his big because of the small, besides, the eastern neighboring countries themselves are facing the harassment of those neighboring countries, and they can't bear to worry, but now they want to send troops to help others quell the chaos, how can there be so many troops?

Miao Jiang proposed marriage, and since then the two countries have reached a strong alliance, and Xishu did not dare to act rashly.

For this reason, the saint was so noisy that he didn't give an answer, and just walked away.

Qin Niang naturally heard about it, she always felt that the purpose of these Miao Jiang people was not only this, but also that if this matter was deadlocked, she would always have a bad premonition.

"Miss, the Miaojiang woman who lived in Wanxin Pavilion before was actually the witch of their Miaojiang, I heard that she had a particularly high status in the mission, and the prime minister had to listen to her." Qiu Xue said, "That woman concealed her identity and came to Gu's house to live for a few days, but she really didn't feel good. ”

"I have long suspected that that woman is weird, for no reason, why did she live in the Gu family? And Tang Wan is poisoned and in the cup, I don't suspect that they are privately Lida

It became some shady deal. Qin Niang thought, if those ordinary people outside were really poisoned, they would be in trouble.

After all, the woman had been living in the house for a few days, and although she had been stared at and had not found anything unusual, she always felt that things were not so simple.

It's like the matter of Doctor Xiao in the house, the epidemic broke out, and someone immediately leaked the news that Doctor Xiao was in the house.

If the Gu family doesn't respond, I'm afraid the impact will expand next.

So this whole thing is being manipulated by someone behind the scenes, is the target Gu Chen, or is she Yang Qinyan?

Soon, Doctor Xiao returned.

After he finished talking about the diagnosis results, Gu Chen entered the palace without stopping.

It's just that once he went in, he never came out.

The uneasiness and apprehension in Qin Niang's heart became more and more intense.

After the dispersal of the dynasty the next day, Qiu Xue hurriedly came back from outside and reported: "Miss, the news of the early dynasty has spread, and there is an imperial envoy who impeached Gu Gongzi for colluding with the unexpected clan, poisoning the people in Beijing, and taking the opportunity to raise the price of medicinal materials to make money, thinking that the Forbidden City should be detained in the palace." ”

Now that the price of medicine outside is soaring, it is only an overnight thing, of course, there must be someone maliciously operating in this, and the shop under Gu Chen's name has also increased more or less.

But it definitely did not reach the number of complaints filed by the Imperial Legation.

"Why did the imperial envoy say that Gu Chen colluded with foreigners? What credentials do they have? Qin Niang had a faint guess in her heart.

"It's not that the Miaojiang woman lived in the house for a few days a few days ago, and this matter was spread out without knowing how, so those people in the imperial envoy station held on to this, and now those sick people outside have been diagnosed, and they are indeed poisoned, and that poison is not all in the east, and the Miaojiang envoy has just entered Beijing, and the matter is clear."

If the poison was really caused by the people of Miaojiang, especially the Miaojiang woman who lived in Guangfu before, then Gu Chen really had a mouth full of words, and it was not clear.

At this moment, the porter came in and reported: "Young lady, someone handed you a post." ”

With that, she handed the post over.

Qin Niang stretched out her hand to take it, flipped it open and looked at it, her brows tightened.

After handing over the door, he withdrew.

Qiu Tao leaned over and asked, "Miss, whose post is it?" ”

Qin Niang closed the post, her eyebrows skipped, and she said, "Prince Song Huai." ”

Qiu Tao's eyes widened: "What is he looking for you for?" Didn't you take advantage of Gu Gongzi's absence to seduce you? ”

Song Huai has intentions for Qin Niang, and these maids and women who are close to him know it.

"You girl, speak tightly." Mama Rui scolded her, glared at her, and said, "This is still in your own place, if you turn around and go elsewhere, you say this, so how do outsiders look at Miss." ”

Qiu Tao stuck out her tongue and whispered: "Isn't it just that I see that there are only a few of us, and I naturally won't talk like this nonsense outside." ”

"Let's go, go to Yuehua Tower, meet His Royal Highness the Prince, and see what his purpose is." Qin Niang got up, told Qiu Tao to get her a cloak, and walked outside.

Doctor Xiao personally went to the medical hall for consultation, so the people outside the door had already dispersed, and the carriage left the door and drove quickly towards Yuehua Tower.
