Chapter 220: Clearing the Clouds
Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi took the carriage, left the palace, and went straight to the Hanging Medical Pavilion.
Because of the experience of the previous car, when Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi just got off the carriage, the servants at the door immediately greeted them respectfully.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the two sitting doctors in the Hanging Medical Pavilion hurriedly put down the patients in their hands, got up and saluted Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi.
"See the grass people, see Prince Xiao, see Princess Xiao!"
"Excuse me."
Yan Zixi responded, and said lightly: "The two doctors don't need to be formal, you continue to see the patient, I'm here to find Elder Mo." ”
"Oh, okay, Elder Mo is in the backyard, do you need the little one to lead the way for Princess Xiao?" A young doctor said with courtesy.
Yan Zixi waved her hand and declined his kindness, "No need, you are busy with yours, the patient's illness cannot be neglected, I will just go and see Elder Mo myself." ”
"Yes...... Yes, thank you Princess Xiao for her teachings, and the little one will take a note on paper. ”
"Princess Xiao, please take care of yourself, let's go back and continue to see a doctor." The two doctors hugged their fists at Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi, and then returned to the hall to continue to watch the patient.
Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi went straight to the backyard of the Hanging Medical Pavilion.
When they came to the backyard, they saw Mo Changfeng fiddling with herbs in the yard, and Yan Zixi hurriedly went over to say hello.
"Elder Mo, how are you doing?"
Mo Changfeng raised his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw that it was Yan Zixi and Xiao Jingcong, he hurriedly clapped his hands and came over to salute.
"Grass people Mo Changfeng see Prince Xiao, see Princess Xiao!"
"Hey, Elder Mo, didn't I tell you that you don't have to bow to me? Hurry up! Yan Zixi hurriedly helped Namo Changfeng up.
After helping Mo Changfeng up, Yan Zixi didn't have any delay, and directly explained to him today's intention.
"Oh, a strange cold poison?"
Mo Changfeng touched his white beard, and invited Yan Zixi and Xiao Jingcong into the room.
Yan Zixi took out the glass clip wrapped in cotton cloth from her sleeve pocket, and let Mo Changfeng look at it.
After Mo Changfeng took it, he opened the clip on the cover, and carefully studied the black powder on the glass.
"Elder Mo, you study it slowly first, Jing Cong and I will go back first, and when the results are available, you can send someone to the palace to tell me."
"Okay, then Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao will go slowly, and the old man will not be far away."
"Well, but Elder Mo, the stakes are very high, and time is pressing, please be sure to do it as soon as possible." Yan Zixi didn't forget to remind her, after all, they really didn't have much time left.
If they don't hurry up, even if they find the murderer, it will be too late.
That's why Yan Zixi repeatedly told Mo Changfeng.
Mo Changfeng nodded solemnly, "Yes, the old man understands, please rest assured Princess Xiao, the old man will definitely study overnight, and he will give you an answer tomorrow." ”
"Then there will be Elder Lawmo." Yan Zixi thanked her again, and then left the Hanging Medical Pavilion with Xiao Jingcong.
……
This night, as if it was extraordinarily long, Yan Zixi lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
Xiao Jingcong saw that Yan Zixi hadn't fallen asleep for a long time, and asked softly: "Xi'er, what's wrong, do you have something on your mind?" Why haven't you fallen asleep yet? ”
"Jing Cong, I'm worried that if Elder Mo fails to find out the poison tomorrow, what will we do...... Not counting tonight, there are only two days left......" Yan Zixi frowned, entangled and uneasy.
Xiao Jingcong gently took Yan Zixi into her arms, and comforted her softly, "Xi'er, it's okay, everything will pass." Even if Elder Mo fails to find out the source of the poison tomorrow, it doesn't matter, I believe that we will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune and survive this crisis. ”
"Uh-huh! Yes......" Yan Zixi nodded vigorously, and then snuggled into Xiao Jingcong's arms.
With Xiao Jingcong's words, more at ease than anything else, Yan Zixi fell asleep after a while, and fell asleep.
This night, Yan Zixi slept very sweetly, and almost never woke up at night.
It wasn't until the next morning that Yan Zixi woke up from her sleep.
Xiao Jingcong didn't go out, but sat at the small table and read the book, seeing Yan Zixi wake up, Xiao Jingcong put down the book in his hand, got up and walked over, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Xi'er, are you awake?" ”
"Uh-huh, Jingcong, did I sleep for a long time? What time is it? Yan Zixi got up from the bed, called Xiaomei to bring her face wash for herself, and after freshening up, she fell into Xiao Jingcong's arms like a child.
"Jing Cong, does Elder Mo have any news?"
Xiao Jingcong shook his head, "Not yet, maybe there will be a while......
"Alas, I don't know what's going on......" Just as Yan Zixi sighed, Xiaomei hurriedly entered the door again to report.
"Lord Qiqi and princess, there is a doctor in the Hanging Medical Pavilion outside the gate of the mansion who wants to see him."
When Yan Zixi heard this, she immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Please, please hurry up!" No, I'll go myself! ”
Yan Zixi was a little excited, and hurriedly got out of Xiao Jingcong's arms, and without bothering to change her shoes, she went straight to the door. fervor
When Yan Zixi arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, he saw a small servant in the Hanging Medical Pavilion.
Yan Zixi waved her hand at him and shouted, "But Elder Mo of the Hanging Medical Pavilion sent you?" ”
When the little guy heard Yan Zixi's summons, he hurriedly ran over, "See Princess Xiao, if you reply to the princess, Elder Mo asked the little one to come over and inform the princess, saying that the matter you asked to investigate yesterday has already been resolved." ”
"Really?!" Yan Zixi was overjoyed after hearing this, and after taking out a piece of silver to reward the little guy, she hurriedly returned to the bedroom and told Xiao Jingcong about the matter.
Afterwards, the two of them took the carriage again to the Hanging Medical Pavilion to visit Elder Mo.
After coming to the Hanging Medical Pavilion, Yan Zixi went straight to Mo Changfeng's room.
When Yan Zixi arrived, she saw that Mo Changfeng seemed to be much older overnight, and Yan Zixi guessed that Mo Changfeng must have stayed up all night studying those poisonous foams. Thinking of this, Yan Zixi was moved in her heart, and hurriedly went over to support the crumbling Mo Changfeng.
"Elder Mo, you have worked hard......" A thousand words were condensed into one sentence.
Mo Changfeng shook his head, and a hint of relief appeared on his haggard old face, "The old man is fine, fortunately, he didn't disappoint Princess Xiao, and finally let the old man find out." ”
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”
Mo Changfeng nodded, and then slowly informed Yan Zixi of the origin of the poison. He also told her where she could get this poison in this capital.
It turns out that this poison is called Qianbing Cold Poison, and it is also made by the poison doctor Qianchou.
After Yan Zixi heard this, she immediately rushed to the residence of the ghost Qianchou with Xiao Jingcong.
Although the ghost Qianchou has a huge shelf, he is still obedient in front of Xiao Jingcong, and he doesn't dare to disobey at all.
"Ghost Qianchou, this king asks you, what did you get from you recently?"
"Thousand Ice Cold Poison?" Ghost Qianchou's eyes rolled, his face changed slightly, and he seemed to hesitate about something.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingcong's hand holding his shoulder couldn't help but add a little more strength, and the pain made the ghost sweat flow through cold sweat, and he screamed again and again.
"Ahhh Lord Xiao, ...... quickly Let go......"
"Say, who took your poison?" Xiao Jingcong didn't give him any good face, and asked coldly.
When Yan Zixi saw it, she hurriedly helped to sing with a red face on the side, "Jing Cong, you let the ghost doctor go first, let me tell him." ”
Xiao Jingcong saw that Yan Zixi glanced at her and knew that she had ideas, so she nodded and let go of her hand.
Yan Zixi took out the gold that Xiao Jingcong had given that day from his pocket and raised his hand to send it over.
Ghost Qianchou is a person who loves money, and when he saw the gold in Yan Zixi's hand, his eyes straightened.
"Doctor ghost, as long as you are willing to tell me, this gold is yours."
"Okay, Princess Xiao is a cheerful person, since that's the case, then I'll tell you. You put your ears together. ”
Yan Zixi let go of her sorrow when she saw the ghost, and a big stone in her heart finally fell, she hurriedly leaned over and listened.
Ghost Qianchou slowly said a name, and the next second after Yan Zixi heard it, he was petrified in place, and then shook his head and screamed in disbelief.
"This ...... How is this possible?! ”
Seeing this, Xiao Jingcong asked strangely, "Xi'er, what's wrong?" ”
"Jing Cong, let's enter the palace immediately!"
……
On the carriage, Yan Zixi said the name that Ghost Qianchou had just told her, and Xiao Jingcong's body shook violently after hearing this.
"What, Lady Lady? Is it the poison of the lady herself? This...... How could this be? Xiao Jingcong couldn't believe it was true, but it was the case.
"So we're going to go to the lady to verify it now."
"The husband really doesn't understand, how could the lady poison herself?" Xiao Jingcong frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.
Yan Zixi shook her head, "I don't know about this either...... Whatever, let's go and confront Concubine Niangniang first. ”
"Well, that's all there is to it."
……
Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi hurriedly came to Shufang Palace to ask to see Shufei Niangniang, and after getting Shufei Niangniang's permission, the two were invited in.
Concubine Shuniang was practicing calligraphy in the study, and when she saw Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi coming, Concubine Shufei stopped the pen in her hand and greeted her with a smile.
"Yo, isn't this Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao? What is the wind that blows you? ”
Xiao Jingcong had a serious face, "Concubine Shuniang, this king and Xi'er are here today because they want to consult you about something." ”
Saying that, Xiao Jingcong looked at Yan Zixi next to him, and Yan Zixi took out the glass clip with poisonous foam and put it on the table.
Concubine Niangniang frowned, saw the black powder on the glass clip, and asked strangely: "This is ......?"
