Chapter 412: Chance Encounter
Xiao Heng looked at Yueji's expression, a suspicious light flashed in his eyes, he knew that Yueji had been poisoned before, and his body had never healed, but Yueji had never been sick in front of him.
"The poison under General Xiao is too powerful, although I took the medicine and stopped it temporarily, but in the past two days, the poison in my body has always had the intention of exploding, and I lost my temper in front of the prince."
Yueji slowed down, took out a white porcelain bottle from her sleeve, poured out two pills, and swallowed it, her face was a little better.
"Aren't you guys often poisoning this trick? What poison you can't solve? ”
Xiao Heng's eyes were full of ridicule, thinking that Yueji deliberately pretended to be excusing herself, so she said it unceremoniously.
"There is a doctor next to General Xiao, not only has excellent medical skills, but also quite proficient in poisoning, last time we poisoned the hot pot restaurant, although the detoxification has the credit of Qian Qianqian, but the doctor is also indispensable, the poison in me is estimated to be developed by the doctor."
Yueji thought in her heart, the person she was referring to was naturally Jiang Sheng, she had noticed Jiang Sheng in the border city of Xiao State before, but at that time the war was tight, she didn't have time to start, and when the war was over, Jiang Sheng didn't know where to go, and she didn't find a chance.
"There are really a lot of capable people around Xiao Mohan, although that Qian Qianqian was born in the countryside, but his courage is even inferior to that of a man, and now a doctor has appeared, it seems that I really underestimate him."
Xiao Heng frowned tightly and whispered, although he had checked Xiao Mohan's details before returning to the capital, Xiao Mohan hid too deeply, and there were many things that he had not found out, and Jiang Sheng was among them.
"Now you have seen it, if it weren't for Xiao Mohan, our central country would have invaded Xiao State a long time ago, and this war would not have dragged on for several years."
Yueji was very displeased, she had long hated Xiao Mohan in her heart and gritted her teeth, she was a fine work of the central country, although she admired Xiao Mohan in her heart, but she still regarded Xiao Mohan as a mortal enemy.
"That doctor, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it."
Xiao Heng's eyes were full of murder, if he wanted to completely bring down Xiao Mohan, he had to cut off Xiao Mohan's right-hand man, but Jiang Sheng was now the imperial doctor in the palace, and the red man around the emperor, if he wanted to kill Jiang Sheng, I am afraid it would take a little effort.
Shao Huaigu's body is getting better day by day, but the medicine Jiang Sheng prescribed to him has a miraculous effect, although his legs are still the same as before, but the knife wounds on his body are almost better, and he also went to the morning court as usual.
The emperor cared for Shao Huaigu in the early court, and specially ordered someone to bring a chair to Shao Huaigu and let Shao Huaigu sit in the court, but Shao Huaigu refused again and again, and gave the emperor a big gift.
At present, most of the civil officials in the court are Shao Huaigu's people, and the military generals follow Xiao Mohan, so this emperor is also smart, knowing that he has no real power in his hands, he simply relies on Shao Huaigu to stabilize his position, so that everyone sees that if Shao Huaigu has any changes, he is a proper rebel and thief.
"This emperor is really shrewd, compared to the previous emperor, he is not weak at all, he knows the current affairs so well at a young age, if he grows up in the future, I am afraid it will be terrible."
After getting off the court, Shao Huaigu walked beside Xiao Mohan, lowered his voice, and deliberately said vaguely, with a sneer on his face, looking at the affinity, but with a little inquiry.
"After all, we are the descendants of the royal family of Xiao State, so we are naturally not stupid, but the emperor is not an ungrateful person, we abide by our duty as courtiers, and the emperor understands it in his heart."
Xiao Mohan didn't think so, he used to teach the emperor martial arts, what kind of heart the emperor was, he was like a mirror in his heart, so he was not as vigilant as Shao Huaigu.
"Since ancient times, kings have been the most affectionate, even if we keep to ourselves, and one day the emperor will be full-fledged and will not be able to tolerate us, so let's prepare as soon as possible."
Shao Huaigu's face did not change, and his eyes glanced at Xiao Mohan from time to time, as if he had something to say, and his legs and feet were not very convenient, so he walked slower, and soon fell behind Xiao Mohan.
Xiao Mohan didn't make a sound, just strode forward, with his hands behind his back, there was no superfluous look on his face, and there was a mixture of light and dark in his deep eyes, which made people unreal.
Shao Huaigu shook his head, stopped, and looked at Xiao Mohan's back, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression became solemn.
In fact, according to Shao Huaigu's meaning, he really wanted to take advantage of the current unstable government to solve this little emperor, and then let Xiao Mohan ascend to the throne, and he mentioned this in front of Xiao Mohan more than once, but Xiao Mohan refused, he couldn't persuade Xiao Mohan, so he could only bury this attempt in his heart.
Xiao Mohan sat in the carriage, pondering in his heart, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his sword eyebrows frowned, in fact, he didn't know what Shao Huaigu meant, but he wasn't interested in that throne, and he didn't want to break off the only little kinship between the royal family of Xiao State, so this throne should be given to the descendants of the first emperor.
Cheng Feng and the others committed heinous crimes, the emperor personally ordered them to be beheaded for public display, and on the day of the execution, the people scoffed, and Xiao Heng did not send anyone to save them, so they died as a matter of course.
As for the other slaves of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Mohan pardoned those people for capital crimes according to his promise, but this capital crime can be forgiven, but the living crime cannot be escaped, so none of those people who should be exiled and those who should serve their sentences can escape.
Xiao Mohan's action can be regarded as making the ministers of the court and the central government see clearly, he is going to uproot the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Pang Shangshu saw this, and soon resigned to the emperor, and wanted to take the family to return to his hometown, the emperor still kept it at first, but he couldn't stand Pang Shangshu's insistence, and he could only play.
Overnight, the Pang family walked cleanly, in fact, this is a good way out for them, anyway, since the death of Pang Guifei and the prince, and the crown prince ascended the throne, their Pang family will never turn over.
Qian Qianqian was a little bored in the general's mansion, but Qian Yao had a lot of fun, and she didn't think about Qian's mother these days, sure enough, children are so coaxing, as long as there is good food and fun, they forget everything.
There was no letter from Qian's mother, Qian's mother had always wanted to come to the capital to see, but now that she didn't come herself, Qian Yao came, which is also a good thing.
"Xueyi, I want to go to the hot pot restaurant to have a look, maybe I can find any clues, you can accompany me out."
Qian Qianqian thought about it, but still felt that she should go out and take a look, the hot pot restaurant has been closed at the moment, it is really not a way, if it takes some time, I am afraid that the people in the capital will not remember that there is such a hot pot restaurant.
"Why don't you wait for the general to come back, now Xiao Heng and Yueji are in the capital, this capital is not very clean, if something happens, the general can't spare me."
Xue Yi was worried, lowered her eyes slightly, and cautiously reminded.
"In broad daylight, there should be nothing wrong, Cheng Feng and the others have already been executed, Xiao Heng and Yueji should not expect me to leave the house quietly."
Qian Qianqian's eyes rolled, a touch of cunning appeared in her eyes, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said very easily.
"This ......" Xue Yi wanted to stop Qian Qianqian, but she didn't know how to stop it, Qian Qianqian was originally stubborn, and now it is even more so.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, we'll go out for an hour, and we'll be back in an hour, and no one will know about it."
Qian Qianqian stood up, interrupted Xue Yi's words, raised her feet and walked out, and Xue Yi could only follow.
The market outside is very lively, people come and go, vendors shout one after another, solicit business, and the streets and alleys are full of harmony.
Now that spring has begun, it is not so cold, the people have also changed into bright spring clothes, and the children are also brightly dressed, shuttling among the crowd, looking very festive.
The sun was scorching overhead, shining warmly on her body, but the breeze was blowing, still with a slight chill, Qian Qianqian gathered the robe on her body, wearing a veil on her face, the rumor that she was the princess of Chen Guo had just dissipated, and the people still remembered her appearance, so she had to be careful.
Xue Yi followed Qian Qianqian's footsteps, with a long whip pinned to her waist, her eyes couldn't take her eyes off, and she was full of spirit.
Qian Qianqian went straight to the back door of the hot pot restaurant, looked around, and saw that no one was passing by, so she wanted to sneak in with Xueyi.
"Miss Qian." At this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind Qian Qianqian, and she turned around suddenly, only to see Jiang Sheng standing not far away, carrying a bamboo basket behind his back, with a lot of herbs in it.
"Doctor Jiang." Qian Qianqian was also a little surprised, turned around and walked over, glanced at Jiang Sheng up and down, a light smile appeared on her face, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she looked very delicate.
"How did you get here? Aren't you all promoted? ”
Qian Qianqian was very puzzled, she hadn't seen Jiang Sheng for a long time, and now goodbye, it was really different, Jiang Sheng had lost her childishness in the past, and there was a little more maturity between her eyebrows.
"The girl laughed, half of my official is your credit, and you should be the one who is the official, I just got your light."
Jiang Sheng bowed slightly, his every move was very gentle and polite, and there was a little dirt on his hands, it seemed that he should have come back from digging up the herbs himself.
"With your medical skills, you should be promoted, I'm just a coincidence, you don't have to take it to heart, but you, as an official, come to dig herbs in person, it's really rare, what herbs do you need, just say it, someone will find it for you."
Qian Qianqian's face did not change, Jiang Sheng was smiling, but he was very measured, Xue Yihou was on the side, looking around vigilantly, not daring to relax in the slightest.
"You are here to find out about the poisoning of the relatives of the previous officials?"
Jiang Sheng could see Qian Qianqian's intentions at a glance, so there was an indescribable affirmation in his words.
"Hmm." Qian Qianqian nodded, responded lightly, frowned lightly, lowered her eyelids slightly, and her long and thick eyelashes blocked the emotions under her eyes.
"You don't have to do anything else, I've checked inside and outside here, there is no clue, if you go in, the result will be the same, it's not peaceful recently, you better go back to the general's mansion as soon as possible."
Jiang Sheng opened his mouth to persuade him, and he knew that Qian Qianqian would not give up, so he said it clearly and let Qian Qianqian think about it earlier.
