Mu Yu watched Xie Chongning drink up the chicken soup in the bowl, and went to fold the quilt for him, "After the soup is drunk, you can rest well, your only task now is to wait until Yi Xue comes." ”

Xie Chongning let out an "um" and lay flat on the bed, but his eyes followed Mu Yu's busy back and forth.

Mu Yu is indeed busy, Xie Chongning has fallen, so naturally someone needs to come out to stabilize the army's heart, although Wuchen is credible, but after all, he is a person who doesn't listen to things outside the window, stabilize the army's heart, deal with sundries, or can't give full authority to Wuchen to do.

As for Xu Zhifeng, although he is her father's cronies, for Mu Yu, he is not a completely credible person, and she still needs to see everything with her own hands.

The medicinal materials purchased from the city have been almost consumed recently, and some must be purchased nearby, but those that have been purchased out of the pharmacy near Xiaowan are closed, and they can't buy medicinal materials at all.

She let out a long sigh, took the medicine list that Wuchen had sorted out, and went to find Zhao Zhongde, the prefect of Xiaowan.

Zhao Zhongde saw the medicine list sent by Mu Yu, and his honest and loyal face also showed embarrassment, "Oh, Mrs. Xie, it's really a bit difficult to buy medicinal materials." ”

He let out a long sigh, lowered his head and said, "You also know that after the epidemic raged, how many stores of medicinal materials have already been sold out, and now Xiaowan's medicinal materials are even more difficult to find, and we have so many patients at this time, such a large number of medicinal materials, I am afraid it is ......."

"I know that the prefect is in trouble, it is precisely because of this that I need your cooperation even more, the medicinal materials near Xiaowan are indeed scarce now, but I want to ask the prefect to ask for help from the imperial court, and then ask other states and cities to help in the emergency."

"Madame doesn't know, when the epidemic broke out, I didn't ask the court for help, but this letter was sent, and there was no news in the end, if it wasn't for this last letter being handed over to Lord Xie, I'm afraid that Xiaowan is now a dead city!"

"You mean to say that you have already sent someone to report the Xiaowan epidemic to the imperial court?" Mu Yu's heart tightened, but the DPRK and China have never received any news about the epidemic.

Who is it, with such hands and eyes, who not only poisoned two cities one after another, but also intercepted all the news sent to the capital?

Zhao Zhongde patted his thigh, "Yes, but Weichen has never received a reply from the court, if it wasn't for Lord Xie sending me a letter, I thought that this court would give up on our Xiaowan!" ”

"Now we only have these two ways left, and if you send a few more letters, if the court can't do it, you will secretly send it to the king of Anping, as long as the king of the county receives the letter, he will definitely help."

Zhao Zhongde looked at the medicine list in his hand, like a hot potato, but he could only accept it, "I can only do my best." ”

Mu Yu nodded, there was no way for her to do this.

Entrusting the matter of medicinal materials to Zhao Zhongde, she went to the kitchen again, but took medicine for Xie Chongning, now Xie Chongning's body, the decoction must not be broken, on the one hand, to draw out the silver silk Gu, on the other hand, to drink the decoction to control the disease, no matter how strong a person is tortured, he has to languish.

She walked towards the back kitchen, and on the way, a little maid walked out of the back kitchen with her head down.

The little maid squatted on the ground and looked at Mu Yu, who had taken two steps back, and was so frightened that she turned around and knelt on the ground, "Mrs. Xie, I'm sorry, I didn't open my eyes to bump into Mrs., and I ask Mrs. for forgiveness." ”

This girl had two cuppy mustaches, she was not very old, she was only twelve or thirteen years old, her palm-sized face was full of fear, and she knelt on the ground tremblingly, and was about to kowtow to Mu Yu.

"It's fine, but I just accidentally bumped into it." Mu Yu smiled softly, took two steps forward, and prepared to help the little maid up.

The little girl dodged, biting her lower lip, still saying sorry.

"Didn't I say it's okay?" Mu Yu let out a long sigh, does she look so scary? How did this kid come to this? "If you don't get up again, go and get your punishment."

The maid's small body trembled, and she stood up with her head down, but she still bent over, looking very afraid.

Mu Yu glanced at her more, walked to the back kitchen, picked up the decoction specially cooked for Xie Chongning, and poured it into a small bowl.

The decoction was still boiling, and her mouth was still hot, so she put the decoction on the side of the bed to dry, just as Xie Chongning had also woken up, and her body was half leaning on the side of the bed, staring at Mu Yu.

"It's been half a month, and it seems too strange that Guangping Hou is so quiet." Mu Yu blew the decoction in the bowl to make the decoction cool faster.

Xie Chongning lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought. He is now lying on the bed, and everything is handed over to Mu Yu to deal with, and he naturally doesn't know much about the things outside, "You have to be careful after all, Guangping Hou is a ruthless person." ”

"Well, you're right." Mu Yu nodded, "Recently, I sent someone to keep an eye on Zhang Wei, but she was busy with the patient every day, and she didn't contact any other people, so there didn't seem to be anything abnormal on the surface." ”

Not only that, if she hadn't bumped into Zhang Wei and Xu Zhifeng whispering again that day, she wouldn't have thought of the relationship between the two of them, "Do you know that I sent someone to check Xu Zhifeng's details, and what did I find?" ”

Xu Zhifeng is the person next to Luan Pinghou, Xie Chongning naturally doesn't know much about it, but Mu Yu can ask like this, "Xu Zhifeng is also from the south?" ”

Mu Yu blinked, and smiled admiringly at Xie Chongning, "You can guess this?" ”

"The only connection between the two of them, I'm afraid that's all there is." When he decided to wait for Zhang Wei to come to Xiaowan together, he had already made a difference between Zhang Wei's bottom line, and as far as all the information he knew, it was impossible for Zhang Wei to have any possibility of knowing Xu Zhifeng.

And not to mention these, Mingzhou, Xiaowan, Zhang Wei, and Gu poison, these things are linked, and there is only one thing in common, that is, they are all in the south.

"You say that, is it possible that there is some speculation?" Mu Yu thought about it carefully, are they all southern? Zhang Wei is a southerner, Xu Zhifeng is also a southerner, and now it is also the south that has been poisoned, and the birthplace of Gu poison is also the south, and this thing is connected together.

"Could it be the Flying Eagle Gang?" Mu Yu looked at Xie Chongning in shock, these clues were linked, and the only thing she could think of was the Flying Eagle Gang.

At first, they came to the south, just to inspect the details of the Flying Eagle Gang, but they were assassinated many times, and then returned to the capital in a bumpy way, and the Gu poison in the south began to break out again.

Except for the Flying Eagle Gang, I'm afraid no one can have such a ability to reach the sky.

"But what is the purpose of this Flying Eagle Gang?" Mu Yu couldn't figure it out, the Flying Eagle Gang had done so many things, and played step after step of the chess pieces, but all of them couldn't be coherent.

Xie Chongning pondered. "This Flying Eagle Gang is indeed hand-eyed, not only in the rivers and lakes, but also in the DPRK and China."

"That's right, today Zhao Zhongde told me that the letters he sent to the court for help were all heard from in the end, and someone must have intercepted these letters, do you say that this Flying Eagle Gang, could it be the ghost of the cabinet?"

To have such a force in the DPRK and to do such a rebellious thing, only the cabinet has the courage to do so.

"No, it won't." Xie Chongning shook his head, "The cabinet can indeed cover the sky with one hand in the court, but they won't do that. Although the cabinet likes to oppose the emperor, it is only for the power of the court, and they will not do such a persecution of the people. ”

"Not the Cabinet? Who else is there in the court? Mu Yu frowned, watching the mist of the decoction in the bowl gradually decrease, "Don't think about it so much yet, hurry up and drink the medicine, rest well, and wait until Yi Xue comes." ”

She took a spoon and fed Xie Chongning the decoction one by one, and drank a few sips, Xie Chongning asked unintentionally, "Today's decoction seems to taste a little strange." ”

"Strange? How can it be strange? Obviously the medicinal materials are still the original medicinal materials, how can the taste change, Mu Yu lowered his head and smelled the decoction, and the maid who collided with him flashed in his mind, and his hair trembled.

She shouted out the door, "Biyue, go and call Master Wuchen!" ”

Xie Chongning had never seen her look so flustered, "What's wrong?" ”

Mu Yu felt a chill in his back, stared at the soup bowl in his hand, and said slowly with a suppressed voice, "Today I was in the back kitchen, and I bumped into a panicked maid, she happened to come out of the back kitchen, and I didn't think much about it at the time. ”

As she spoke, her eyes fell on Xie Chongning's pale face, the two looked at each other, no one made a sound, Xie Chongning's expression became more and more serious, he calmed his face, waved his hand to Mu Yu, and motioned for her to go out.

"What's wrong? But it's uncomfortable there? Mu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he casually put the medicine bowl aside, and went to help Xie Chongning.

It's just that before her hand touched anyone, Xie Chongning lowered his head and coughed lightly, blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, red and purple black.

Wuchen hurried over, and saw Mu Yu's watery eyes full of tears, kneeling on the edge of the bed, without saying a word, Xie Chongning Yintang was purple, blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, and he pulled out a smile far-fetched, wanting to comfort Mu Yu.

"Wuchen, come and see, what's wrong with Xie Chongning!" Mu Yu immediately gave up his seat, but because he got up too violently, he stumbled.

Wuchen took Xie Chongning's pulse and asked about the situation, "What's wrong?" How could an adult be so decent? ”

Mu Yu trembled and took out the medicine bowl on the side, "Look at this bowl of soup medicine, but what's the problem?" ”

Wuchen leaned over slightly and sniffed the smell of the decoction.

"Today I went to the back kitchen to get medicine, and I met a trembling little girl, I saw that she was young, maybe because she was afraid, and she didn't think much about it, but now it seems that there is something in the decoction."

"Broken intestine grass." Wuchen's expression was extraordinarily solemn.
