Chapter 265: Secret Help
"But, is that okay?" Happiness came too suddenly, Uncle Shui couldn't believe it, this is someone else's skill to make a living, and it's really so simple to hand it over to yourself. This is a bit unrealistic, seeing the firmness in Shen Yafei's eyes, Uncle Shui believes that he heard correctly. Seeing that Shen Yafei was still waiting for his answer, he immediately nodded.
After entering the pharmacy, Shen Yafei did not hide her secrets at all, and all the process of communicating with the store knew that Uncle Shui was at the scene at the moment when he took the money and left.
Out of the pharmacy, they said goodbye. Uncle Shui watched Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi leave before leaving, on the way back, his face was full of hope, his steps were relaxed and cheerful, and he was anxious to tell his wife at home the good news.
Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi told the results they had obtained to the Emperor and Hua Xi, and both of them fell into deep thought after hearing this.
"They don't have any health problems, so do you know why they don't go to the market very often lately?" The Emperor felt that Shen Yafei and the prince were not worth the trip, and they didn't collect the news they needed at all.
"We told the hosts that we were from a village on the other side of the mountain, how could we know about such a thing. If you ask them rashly, you will show your feet. Xu Shizi spoke out his scruples.
"Then you can stay there for a few more days and get to know each other slowly." The Lord of Pi thought that since they had gone, they should find out the news to the end.
"It's almost the end of the year, and it's too cold. What's more, in the kind of place in the countryside, there is only a quilt, and there is not even a cushion on the bed, so there is no way to continue to stay there. Besides, we passed there in the name of picking herbs. The herbs we have picked should be sold the next day, so why should we stay there? "Xu Shizi is not willing to let Shen Yafei follow him to suffer in such a humble place. This kind of thing shouldn't have been done by Shen Yafei in the first place.
Xu Shizi's words made the prince completely speechless about this matter, "Then, okay." Then the king will send someone else to inquire. Then, he turned to Shen Yafei and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Shen Yafei smiled and nodded, and Xu Shizi looked at his father speechlessly and rolled his eyes.
After the prince finished speaking, he changed the topic and continued: "The prince's body has been much better in the past two days. I heard that in a few days, I will be able to personally go to the court to deal with political affairs. ”
"Oh." Xu Shizi responded lightly, and suddenly, some information flashed in his mind, and he straightened up and asked King Li, "How is King Ning's affairs?" ”
"King Ning's affairs haven't been done so quickly. After all, the crown prince is only a few days old, the emperor is still alive, and King Lang's people are also eyeing him. It's not easy for the prince to intervene directly, so he can only let the people below fight against each other. The best the prince could do was to delay this matter for a long time, the better it would be for King Ning. The Thunderbolt Lord said in a low voice.
"Uh-huh. If nothing happens, we Xiaoya will go back. Xu Shizi looked at the faces of the prince and Hua Xi and knew that there was nothing major now, and he wanted to go back to his nest and sleep well.
"Let's go back." The Pi King waved his hand and said.
For the rest of the day, things were so frozen, and nothing else was found.
The prince's health is getting better and better, and he will soon be able to go to the dynasty to govern.
Looking at the awe-inspiring and righteous prince above, King Lang's back was shocked. With a faint smile on his face, the prince looked down calmly, and was meeting King Lang's jealous gaze, the prince smiled and nodded towards King Lang.
King Lang didn't see anything in the eyes of the prince, and the look in the prince's eyes was very indifferent, but in the eyes of King Lang, the prince seemed to be standing in contempt for everything, more like he was sarcastic as a loser. King Lang's heart was empty at the moment, seeing that the prince was so healthy, King Lang knew that what they had been planning no longer had any chance of winning.
The queen has fallen, the emperor is critically ill, and it is impossible for the queen mother to achieve the great cause he wants alone. Although King Lang's face was unwilling, his body still gave the prince a respectful salute. He lowered his head and slowly closed his eyes, his vicious calculations covered by his eyelids.
After King Lang went down to the court, he went to meet the Queen Mother again, and after talking to the Queen Mother in detail, he learned from the Queen Mother's words that the Queen Mother's idea was to let him assist King Yuan in the position of King God. The emperor, the queen and the queen mother have always meant this. They didn't say it explicitly before, King Lang has always had hope, always thinking that he is the elder brother, the eldest son of the queen, and the person who should inherit the throne the most.
It turned out that he was born to be a stepping stone for King Yuan. Hahahaha! It's ridiculous, no wonder they have always not let King Yuan interfere in the affairs of the court, it turned out that they wanted to leave a good reputation to King Yuan, but he was treated as an executioner.
Still, he had already guessed it, didn't he? Why is it so uncomfortable? King Lang was a little lost at first, but soon his face changed again, and his eyes were staring hard at the sky.
On this day, it was drizzling in the sky, and the Yin of the capital city rushed in from the outside and said a few words to the prince of the court, and the prince of the sky went out with the prince of Xu.
Shen Yafei had been waiting for Xu Shizi to come back since she finished breakfast in the morning, but it was late at night, and there was no news from the porter. Shen Yafei thought of the situation when Xu Shizi and Prince Yu went out today, and Shen Yafei vaguely felt that something big was happening in the capital.
Shen Yafei stood up from the chair abruptly and looked at Dabao: "You go and ask Zhiyan to find out what happened around the capital today?" Right away! ”
"But, miss, you ······" Zhiyu had already been sent out by Shen Yafei to do things in the morning, if he also went out at this time, there would be no familiar people around Shen Yafei to serve, Shen Yafei usually doesn't like to use other people, Xu Shizi is not around, Dabao is worried that Shen Yafei is not used to being alone.
Shen Yafei said heavily: "Go quickly." ”
Seeing Shen Yafei's solemn face, Dabao knew that Shen Yafei was an order and could not be refuted, so Dabao had no choice but to say to Shen Yafei: "Miss, you rest early, if there is something, call them." ”
"I will, you hurry up." Shen Yafei was anxious to figure out the situation.
"Okay." Dabao nodded, and left under Shen Yafei's urging.
The night is almost over, isn't it? Looking at the moon sliding down on the night sky, the moon is already in the west, and soon the dawn will emerge from the east. Shen Yafei stood by the window, quietly looking at the sky, but her heart was contrary to the peaceful scenery, and it was very chaotic.
The door of the "creak" room was opened from the outside, and Shen Yafei quickly turned around and walked over.
"Xiaoya? You haven't rested yet, have you? Xu Shizi opened the door and saw Shen Yafei walking towards him, and he was a little surprised that Shen Yafei was not sleeping at this time now.
"I, I'm waiting for you." Shen Yafei said softly.
Shen Yafei's light tone could not hear the ups and downs of emotion, but her fiery gaze betrayed her mood. Xu Shizi looked at the warmth in his heart, approached, gently hugged Shen Yafei into his arms, lowered his head, looked at Shen Yafei gently and said, "You are worried about me." ”
Shen Yafei nodded wordlessly.
Xu Shizi rubbed Shen Yafei's head with a smile, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm fine, and I won't let myself have anything to do." ”
"What the hell is going on out there?" Shen Yafei wanted to know what was going on that made Xu Shizi have no time to separate, and he didn't even have time to send someone back to pass the word. If it were in normal times, if Xu Shizi really had something to do and didn't get out, he would have asked people to go back to the house to spread the news, but there was no news today. The people sent by the palace to inquire about the news did not gain much. There must be something terrible going on, so that Xu Shizi doesn't have the heart to think about home.
"Alas," Xu Shizi pushed Shen Yafei to the edge of the table and sat down, and he also sat down next to Shen Yafei, Xu Shizi sighed again, "Today, there are several villages in the suburbs that all the people are ······."
Xu Shizi thought of the tragic situation he saw today, and his heart was still shocked.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yafei asked patiently.
"There are several villages near the capital that all the people died overnight." Xu Shizi said.
"How so?" This information was also very shocking to Shen Yafei, "What happened?" ”
"When we went there, all we saw were corpses on the ground, and there was not even blood on the ground. Of these villages, there is not a single one left who was at home the night before. When the surrounding villages heard about it, they all ran over to watch, and there was a commotion at the scene. In order to prevent too much information from being transmitted, the people of the government separated the villagers who came to watch from the outside world. So, there's no way we can get out. It wasn't until later, when the prince's people came to help, that we calmed down the emotions of those villagers. Xu Shizi said in a low voice.
When Shen Yafei heard Xu Shizi say "There is not a drop of blood on the ground", her body shook suddenly, and her pupils opened in panic. Then she continued to ask: "Are all the villagers present in those villages?" Is there anything I can't find? ”
"Yes, we verified the identities of all these people on the spot. There were a few people who weren't there, but they had just gone somewhere else, in the city or at a relative's house, and they just didn't happen to be home that night. Xu Shizi replied, and then asked suspiciously, "What are you asking for?" ”
No one disappears? Could it be that she was wrong? Didn't those people do it? Shen Yafei's heart was full of doubts.
Shen Yafei only heard Xu Shizi's words in the front, and Xu Shizi asked Shen Yafei later, but Shen Yafei didn't listen to it at all. Xu Shizi looked at Shen Yafei's contemplative appearance, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you know something?" ”
Shen Yafei shook her head uncertainly: "I just doubt it, but when you say this, I don't have any trust." ”
