After Xue Piao listened, his expression also changed slightly, it stands to reason that Qing Leng is not this kind of unmeasured person, whether he finds his son or not, he should send a message back.

"County Lord, don't worry, your subordinates will go to the South Cliff Courtyard."

"Okay."

The South Cliff Courtyard is also more than an hour away from the palace and the fast horse, and once you go back, even if you don't delay there, it will take three hours.

Therefore, when Xue Piao returned to the palace, it was already late at night.

Xue Piao was originally going to wait for Concubine Murong to wake up the next day, but when he returned home, he was discovered by Weixi.

"The master is waiting for you." Weixi coldly dropped a sentence, turned around and left.

Xue Piao didn't say anything, and followed Weixi to the Drinking Pavilion.

"How? What did you find? "Concubine Murong hasn't slept yet, waiting for the snow to drift in the study.

Xue Piao nodded, and was not ambiguous, and told Concubine Murong the news he had heard, "Childe needs a medicine, so I will find it myself." Uncle Ming went to the Nanya Courtyard and didn't find the son, but happened to meet Miss Si, Miss Si followed Uncle Ming, and Qing Leng also followed. ”

"Si Wan followed Uncle Ming?" Concubine Murong asked uncertainly.

Xue Piao nodded, "I should be going to see the prince." ”

"What happened to my father that made Uncle Ming come back to my brother?" Minghui should have told Si Wan that Si Wan could help, so Minghui agreed to let her follow.

This question made Xue Piao hesitate.

"Can't tell me?" Murong Concubine looked at Xue Piao, her eyes were a little meaningless, "Xue Piao, what Si Wan can know, I can't know." If you do this, I will be angry and hold grudges. ”

Murong Concubine Hui's eyes shone brightly and told Xue Piao, if you don't say it, the county lord will hold a grudge, remember that it is you, find a chance for the county lord to wear small shoes for you!

Xue Piao sighed, and only then did Minghui tell Concubine Murong what he said.

"The prince seems to have encountered an epidemic."

Concubine Murong stood up violently, "What did you say, plague?" ”

Her face turned pale almost instantly, and she couldn't imagine how terrible the plague was.

"County Lord, it's not a plague, it's a Gu plague."

"Gu plague?" Concubine Murong felt that she might not have heard too clearly, she only knew about Gu poison Gu worms, and the Gu plague was really unheard of, was it what she thought?

Xue Piao looked at Murong Concubine Xi's face, and knew that she had guessed, Xue Piao nodded.

"The epidemic caused by Gu is said to have spread to the three towns in the south."

Concubine Murong gasped.

"How's my father doing?" She asked with a pale face.

"Don't worry, the county lord can rest assured, ordinary Gu will not have an impact on the prince."

When Concubine Murong heard him say this, she didn't ask the reason, she only breathed a sigh of relief, but when she thought that the people in the three towns were infected with the Gu plague, the relieved breath came up again.

"Xue Piao, there has never been a Gu plague, you say, did someone do it on purpose, is it aimed at Linhai, or my father?" Concubine Murong's face was solemn, this incident happened to the king of Ding's southward journey today, and she had to think about it more.

"The Jiangnan generation, there have been floods over the years, mostly in this season, in previous years, the emperor personally went to inspect the water situation, this year the prince took the initiative to ask for an order, on behalf of the Son of Heaven to go south." Xue Piao just said, "Before this, no one knew that the prince would make this decision. ”

After speaking, he added, "It's just that going south to inspect the floods is not a secret trip." In other words, if someone targets the king, it is possible.
