Chapter Seventy-Nine: Investigation
"Sister Huang, when you're done, remember to play with Xi'er." Xi'er is a child after all, and he is not interested in this kind of thing. After saying that, Xi'er went out with her palms together, and she looked like she was afraid that she would accidentally cover the butterfly in the palm of her hand.
"Panxiang." Yue Li shouted softly, watching her come forward, Yue Li's expression was a little playful. "How happened to Concubine Xi's belt that asked you to check last time? It's been so long, why hasn't there been any movement at all? ”
Pan Xiang replied respectfully to Yue Li: "Your Highness, I took it to the Imperial Doctor that day to have it examined, but the Imperial Doctor said that there were two medicinal talents, and they hadn't smelled it. So I need to study it carefully, but I haven't found any medicinal herbs so far. The smell is not abnormal for the time being, but the two herbs are really strange. ”
"Okay, I see." Yue Li listened to Pan Xiang's words, and she also counted in her heart, who knows what strange medicinal materials Concubine Xi took out, it seems that she is going to find someone to investigate.
But this matter is not in a hurry for the time being, and the matter in front of her is solved first, she looked at the child in the distance, and smiled again: "Xi'er Xi'er, the imperial sister came to play with you." ”
Yue Li rushed out and spread her arms, like a big fluttering moth, completely devoid of the princess's reserve.
Xi'er grinned at Yue Li, looking very happy, "Sister Huang, Sister Huang, come here." With that, he opened his palm, and the butterfly flew out and danced in the sun.
"What a strange butterfly." Yue Li looked at the strange butterfly, it was cyan, and its wings shone purple in the sun, which was very beautiful.
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, look at this butterfly, the slave has never seen it since she was a child." Wen Xue was also fascinated by butterflies on the side.
"Xi'er is also the first time I've seen it, this butterfly is really beautiful." Xi'er laughed and ran around chasing the butterfly, which seemed to have a spirit and did not run away, but danced around the crowd.
Yue Li chased Xi'er around the courtyard, and the entire Jing'an Palace was full of laughter from the two sisters and brothers, "Xi'er run, if the imperial sister catches you, it will tickle you when the time comes." Yue Li screamed in fright, and the child ran away.
"Sister Huang is here to arrest me, arrest me."
But no one noticed that there was a trace of blood on the butterfly's wings.
The plague is such a big thing, Suikar is well-informed and knows.
But his first reaction after knowing about it was to persuade Toshner to dispel this idea and be honest as a rich prince. Since there is such a big famine now, it is even more impossible for the emperor of the Xia Dynasty to send troops if you think about it with your toes. In Suikar's eyes, Toshner is now whimsical, daydreaming.
But when he told Toshner about it, Toshner still refused to believe it: "Suikal, you have taken great pains to make up such a lie in order to coax me." ”
"Your Highness, I'm not lying, if you don't believe me, just go to the street and ask around, now everyone in the capital knows that these two places have been affected, don't think I'm lying to you. The emperor of the Xia Dynasty is now focused on disaster relief, and he has no time to care about the affairs of our small countries. Suikal was a little upset.
In fact, Toshner is also a little empty in his heart, although he is impulsive and irritable, but he still knows the most basic truth. When the Xia Dynasty encountered such a big thing, it was originally necessary to try its best to take care of its own domestic affairs, if the emperor of the Xia Dynasty still wanted to send troops at this time, then the Xia Dynasty would be greatly injured. But if he doesn't send troops this time, if he returns to Jialan two months later, according to Concubine Chen's character of cutting grass and eradicating roots, his life will be in jeopardy.
Thinking of this, Toshner shuddered, no, no matter what he said this time, he had to fight Concubine Chen, he didn't want to be the target of others like his mother.
But now the emperor's side is nine times out of ten, people like this kind of smiling are the most difficult to speak, and the only one who can help himself is Princess Sulfur Moon. It really didn't work, so he went to the princess and said straight to the point, it is better to be open and honest than to hide it, and maybe he can fight for his own life.
Toshner rubbed his somewhat sore head, patted Suikar's shoulder, and looked a little tired: "Suikal, you and I go to the palace together, let's go to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Suikar didn't know what medicine was sold in Toshna's gourd, but he was sure that Toshna didn't give up. He sighed, this kid is really the same as before, he doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back!
The two of them packed up and left the inn, and although Toshner and Suikar had different ideas, they both beat the drum in their hearts.
The emperor learned the lessons of the last few times this time, and in order to ensure Ye Qin's life, he was ready to assign Ye Qin a capable general.
The ministers were killed one after another, and no matter how stupid the emperor was, he knew that something was wrong, "Song Shu, you should go to Fangzhou with Ye Qin this time." ”
Song Shu was also in the clouds, full of question marks, the front foot had just finished receiving Toshna, and before he could catch his breath, the back foot was about to accompany Ye Qinjiao to Fangzhou, what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd.
This time, the emperor secretly called her to the imperial study in private, the emperor looked at the folds in front of him, looked at the book of all people, and said to Song Shu seriously: "General Song, it stands to reason that you also know what I asked you to accompany Ye Qin for this time?" The Emperor frowned.
"The ministers sent in the past were all robbed and killed by mountain bandits this time, this time you not only have to protect Ye Qin's safety, but also help me find out who is pretending to be a ghost and hindering disaster relief?" The emperor's words already had a faint anger.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"By the way, how is the Guogong Mansion lately?" The emperor asked again, in fact, he heard that this Song Shu smashed the Guogong Mansion, and he was really curious, so he asked knowingly.
Song Shu lowered her head, feeling a little funny in her heart, how is the Guogong Mansion recently, isn't your old man the most clear, Your Majesty? Why are you still asking me?
"The last general has just returned from Lingnan, and he has been busy with business recently, so he has not been able to go home to visit his relatives, so I don't know the current situation of my mother and father in the Guogong Mansion. Song Shu pretending to be stupid is also a must, but there is a saying that is true, she has been very busy recently and has no time to find trouble in the Guogong Mansion.
The emperor didn't embarrass her, and when he saw her beaten to death and didn't admit it, he knew that it was not interesting to ask about it, "You go back and prepare now, you will leave for Fangzhou in the next two days." "Eating melons is a big deal, but the most important thing is to get down to business.
This time, because of special circumstances, the emperor did not plan to say these things to the ministers, "You and Ye Qin can go quietly, don't make a noise, it's best not to reveal your identity." The Emperor told again.
"Your Majesty, the last general knows." Song Shu saluted and said goodbye to the emperor.
The emperor looked at Song Shu's distant back and sighed, people are really unlucky to drink cold water and stuff their teeth, I hope Ye Qin can solve it this time.
