Lu Kai saw that the medicine apprentice was polite to him, and said with a smile, "Don't be so polite, don't forget that I pulled out the white art, and when you go to the queen, you have to say cruel things."

The medicine apprentice nodded and led Lu Kai straight away, Cheng Qingwan glanced at Lu Kai's back with concern, and glared at Cheng Weilian with recovering eyes, "Go home!" ”

The queen was in Jiafu Palace, Lu Kai was waiting outside, the medicine apprentice went in to report, and waited for a moment for the medicine apprentice to come out, and then left with a cold snort at Lu Kai with an angry face, seeing the medicine apprentice coming out with a red face, he must have said a lot of bad things about him inside, and Lu Kai seemed very satisfied with this.

The palace maid came out and let Lu Kai in, and when she entered the house, Lu Kai bowed and bowed, "I have seen the queen"

Xu Rongji looked at Lu Kai's nose and eyes, and said slowly, "Let's get up"

"Queen Xie" Lu Kai got up, Xu Rongji's tone was very calm, and said, "Isn't it just some white arts, why did the envoy come out of nowhere?"

Lu Kai's face was full of apologies, "I didn't know that Baizhu was planted by the queen in advance, and I was very sorry in my heart, the queen forgive me."

Xu Rongji didn't seem to be angry, and asked softly, "Baizhu is not in the cultivation, but why did the envoy go to the Southern Medicine Garden?" ”

Lu Kai was as honest as a child, and replied bluntly, "There are new clues in the case, and Xia Guan went to the South Medicine Garden to check the muscles and bones."

"Muscle and bone grass?" Xu Rongji also has some understanding of medicinal herbs, "The muscles and bones grass is only found in the shady and humid places of the valley, why do you enter the palace to check it?" ”

Lu Kai was ready to say it, and slowly replied, "It is true that the muscles and bones grass is only found in the wetlands in the valley, but if someone can understand the habits, it is not impossible to plant them in the palace."

Xu Rongji nodded slightly, "The musculoskeletal grass can clear away heat, detoxify and cool the blood and calm the liver, and the external use can treat bruises, and the musculoskeletal grass is also common, what is the relationship with the case?" ”

Xu Rongji said that Lu Kai agreed very much: "It's because the muscles and bones are very common, so it won't attract the attention of others," Lu Kai's expression suddenly said coldly: "The lower officials think that the poison of the year was made of muscles and bones grass mixed with knotweed powder."

Xu Rongji suddenly smiled and looked at Lu Kai, "The muscles and bones grass and knotweed powder are both heat-clearing and detoxifying medicinal materials, since Mo is not joking"

Lu Kai wasn't joking, but the smile on his face showed that "if you look at it individually, it is indeed a heat-clearing and detoxifying herb, but when mixed together, it is highly poisonous."

Xu Rongji's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she looked directly at Lu Kai: "How can the envoy be sure that this is the poison of the year?" ”

Lu Kai's attitude was very modest, and he smiled: "If you can't even find out the poison, then isn't the Southern Wei Imperial Doctor too useless?" It is not difficult to find out the poison, but the difficult thing is who is the poison and who is the poisoner? These two points are the reasons for the estrangement between Southern Wei and Northern Shu for many years."

Xu Rongji's face looked ugly and asked, "The envoy entered the palace to check the muscles and bones, so he thinks that the poison is all owned in the palace, and it is our Beishu who poisoned it?" ”

Lu Kai smiled slowly, "Although there is no evidence, there are people who are suspicious"

"Who does the envoy suspect?" Xu Rongji looked eager to ask.

Lu Kai replied slowly, "Xia Guan thinks that this matter is mostly related to the prime minister"

"Bold!" Xu Rongji reprimanded sharply on the spot: "You dare to slander the prime minister of Beishu!" ”

Lu Kai smiled unhurriedly and said, "It's not slander, it's just suspicion, and the suspicion of the lower officials is not unfounded."

Xu Rongji pressed her heart, "What is the basis?" ”

Lu Kai didn't say the truth, and hinted: "Presumably, the queen knows that the Taishang King has seen Shaoqing?" ”

How can the affairs of the palace be hidden from the master of the harem, Xu Rongji said, "What if you know?"

Lu Kaidao, "So the queen knows that Shaoqing is privately investigating the prime minister?" ”

Xu Rongji knows about the things in the palace, but he doesn't know much about some things outside the palace, and he knows that Zhu Xingkong has seen Zhao Houli, which doesn't mean that he knows what Zhu Xingkong and Zhao Houli are talking about, Xu Rongji said restlessly, "Why did Shaoqing investigate the prime minister privately?" ”

"Because Shaoqing suspects that the prime minister has met someone in private," Lu Kai chose to have reservations.

Xu Rong Ji Feng looked at him: "Who is this person?" ”

"Who do you see, the lower officials are not interested" Lu Kai's words hinted, and Xu Rongji asked rhetorically, "Not interested?" ”

Lu Kai said truthfully, "Xia Guan is really not interested, this time I came here to investigate the affairs of Tiande Palace, but what about finding out, after I go back, it is nothing more than a reward and commendation, if you are lucky, you can also get an official and a half-job, the affairs of the court are too dangerous, and it is best not to stay in a place like officialdom."

"What do you mean?"

Lu Kai smiled lightly, "Although he was ordered to investigate the case, some things also have a clue, and it is not good for the two dynasties to investigate, the lower officials think it is best to stop there, but if they can't find out, the king of Wei will definitely be disappointed in the lower officials, so it is not interesting to stay in the officialdom, this time I came to see the queen, I wanted to ask for money, I don't want to make trouble"

Xu Rongji asked cautiously: "Can the envoy really disobey the King of Wei?" ”

"It's not disobedience, it's just that it's not so easy to find out after many years"

Xu Rongji pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know what the envoy has found, but this matter must have nothing to do with Beishu."

Lu Kai smiled and said, "Xia Guan also thinks that this matter has nothing to do with Beishu"

Xu Rongji said, "The envoy has worked hard this time, and the reward must be given, but the palace can't participate in politics, and the envoy wants the king to take the idea."

What should have been said has already been said, so there is no need to stay, Lu Kai got up and said, "This is natural, the next official will retire"

When Lu Kai and Xu Rongji said this, they were telling Zhao Zong that they didn't want to investigate, and it would be best if they could disperse their wealth and avoid disasters.

In addition, throwing Cheng Minghu out is also telling Zhao Zong that Cheng Minghu has attracted Zhu Xingkong's attention, Cheng Minghu is no longer safe, and what to do depends on Zhao Zong's own will.

Whether it is Zhao Zong looking for an excuse to deal with Cheng Minghu, or Zhu Xingkong admonishing Cheng Minghu to deal with Cheng Minghu, in short, Cheng Minghu, the pillar of Northern Shu, is in danger of collapsing.

The danger is not unique to Cheng Ming Lake in Bei'an, and there is also danger under Zhu Xingkong Dai's move, and the danger comes from Cheng Ming Lake, which is what they imagined, whether there is danger or not, and they can only know after leaving the city.

Eyeliner sometimes makes people like it, and sometimes it makes people bored, this depends on who the eyeliner is for, this time the eyeliner is for Xu Guangheng, someone saw Daiqian Zhu Xingkong get into the carriage, and hurriedly went back to tell him, Xu Guangheng was surprised in his heart, "When did Zhu Xingkong return to the city?" ”

I heard the report, Xu Guangheng asked people to follow.

The carriage slowly went out towards the city gate, and Dai Qian said, "The people of Dali Temple have notified?" ”

Zhu Xingkong looked at the leg injury, the leg injury has not healed yet, there is no problem to walk slowly, but if you want to use force, it will only make the wound crack, Zhu Xingkong said, "Noticed, they are following us in secret"

Dai Qian glanced at Zhu Xingkong's leg injury with a little relief, "You're okay, if you start, anything will happen."

Zhu Xingkong was full of confidence in himself and said, "You don't have to look at me all the time, although my leg injury has not healed, if you are not a first-class hand, you can protect yourself."

Of course Dai Qian believed Zhu Xingkong and said with a smile: "I'm relieved to hear you say that."

The carriage left the city leisurely, the coachman didn't seem very anxious, Zhu Xingkong didn't seem very anxious, and Dai Qian seemed a little anxious, "Shouldn't we hurry up to the meeting place?" ”

Zhu Xingkong closed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, if there is really a secret letter to me, if I don't go, the other party will definitely not go, saying that if someone is ambushing, do you want to go in a hurry to get into the encirclement of others?" ”

Dai Qian smiled and said, "Listen to you so much, it's better to go slowly"

Zhu Xingkong said, "Let's squint, you can deal with everything with your spirit"

If it makes sense, Dai Qian will definitely listen, squint and recuperate for a while, and will be near the Xia Pavilion, the Xia Pavilion is on a slope, there is only a steep path uphill, the road is not as wide as the carriage, the carriage is not up, the carriage can only walk with his legs, Dai Qian Zhu Xingkong began to walk.

The slope is very steep, Zhu Xingkong's leg is injured and he can't walk too fast, Dai Qian is on guard to accompany Zhu Xingkong to walk slowly, and when he climbs up the steep slope, there is no one in the Xia Pavilion, only half a person is tall on the nearby hill is barren grass, and no one in the pavilion Dai Qian stared around and said, "It's early?" ”

The sun is not small, Zhu Xingkong suggested, "Enter the pavilion and wait"

Dai Qianzi will not refuse this proposal, who will be idle and bask in the sun and wait for someone, Zhu Xingkong sat down in the pavilion and glanced at the nearby barren grass, the barren grass is half a person tall, if someone hides inside, it is not impossible.

Dai Qian smiled: "You don't think someone is probing us in the wild grass, right?" ”

Zhu Xingkong said noncommittally, "If it were changed, I would be like this, the wild grass is a good place to hide people's eyes and ears"

After half a tea time, Dai Qian was a little impatient, "Whether it is someone who wants to do it or a messenger, there is no ghost in sight."

"It's not good to see people, what the hell to do" Li Shan's voice came from the wild grass, and the voice came together with Li Shan and Li Min from the wild grass.
