Chapter 328 Secretly observed
Since the last time he had an unhappy quarrel with the Queen Mother, Yu Yi'an rarely went to the court again, and at first he said that he was ill, but he didn't say anything when he saw that the emperor didn't care about anything, and finally he went as he wanted, and he didn't want to go. It's also idle.
Under the supervision of Yu Yi'an's scorching gaze, Zhou Anzhi finished breakfast, and Yu Yi'an was relieved to deal with things in the Qian study, although he was dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's interference, but Yu Yi'an still cared about the people of Dawn, and it was impossible to really let it go.
After breakfast, the secret guard brought the news that the old lady returned to his hometown with his chess pieces and a pair of children after returning to his hometown, and kept silent when asked about his queen Chen Wan'er, claiming that he only returned to his hometown because he was tired.
Zhou Anzhi also knew that if he was really threatened, it was understandable that the old lady doctor would not tell the truth. And Zhou Anzhi didn't want to implicate the old lady doctor because of this matter, disturbing the family fun of the old lady doctor and his wife and children.
He instructed the secret guard to go to the old lady doctor to ask for a prescription for the queen at that time, and sent the secret guard of the second prince's mansion to secretly protect the old lady doctor's family. I believe that the old lady doctor should also know how to choose.
As soon as the secret guard left, Xiao Tao came to report: "Miss, the eighth prince is here, waiting in the front hall, does the young lady want to move to the front hall?" Zhou Anzhi thought about it, and it was good to ask Yu Yixuan about Wan'er, after all, Yu Yixuan's secret guard always paid attention to Wan'er's movements.
Then he said to Wan'er, "Okay, I know, I'll go." As he spoke, he took Wan'er and walked to the front hall, thinking about what to do next if the old lady still insisted on refusing to give the prescription.
When he came to the front hall, the eighth prince was very excited when he saw that it was Zhou Anzhi, and hurriedly greeted: "Second sister-in-law, you are here!" What about the second emperor brother? Why didn't I come with you?"
"Your second imperial brother is still in the study to handle business, and he should be here in a while. By the way, how is Wan'er doing? After answering the question of the Eighth Prince, Zhou Anzhi asked the question he wanted to know the most.
"Don't worry, Eighth Emperor Sister-in-law, aren't you at ease with my secret guard? However, this morning, the secret guard reported that after doing it, it seemed that he found a suspicious man in black, but he didn't catch up, maybe he was a secret soldier in this palace. Yu Yixuan replied disappreciatively.
"Men in black? When I was in Wan'er Palace last night, I always felt that there was a gaze staring at us, and I thought it was your secret guard, so I didn't ......" Speaking of this, Zhou Anzhi suddenly thought of something!
"Quick! Hurry up and take a look at the house of Imperial Doctor Wu who helped Wan'er diagnose her pulse! Zhou Anzhi said hurriedly. Seeing Zhou Anzhi's panicked and hurried appearance, Yu Yixuan realized the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly asked the secret guard to go to Imperial Doctor Wu's mansion to check.
This is, Yu Yi'an also came to the front hall after handling official business, looking at Zhou Anzhi's hurried appearance and Yu Yixuan, who had just sent out the secret guard, he felt that things did not seem to be as smooth as he imagined.
"What's wrong? Is there anything that doesn't go your way? Yu Yi'an walked up to Zhou Anzhi, looked at Zhou Anzhi lightly, and asked gently and caringly, the second prince Yu Yixuan really wanted to feel that the atmosphere in the air was a little tense.
So he quipped: "Ouch, you two, can you stop you and me in front of me, it's very annoying." "I'm jealous that you also have a beautiful daughter-in-law like your second imperial sister-in-law."
"Second brother, you! You're not being kind. The joking words made the atmosphere relaxed, and Zhou Anzhi was not as nervous and hurried as just now, but he was still a little worried in his heart.
Xu saw the worry in the depths of Zhou Anzhi's eyes, and Yu Yi'an comforted: "Relax, haven't the secret guards already gone to check, the only thing we can do now is to wait, don't be too nervous, things don't have to be the worst outcome." "Hmmm......"
Or Yu Yi'an understands Zhou Anzhi, this time comforted, Zhou Anzhi also relaxed a lot, Yu Yi'an is right, now there is nothing to do except wait.
It's not as tense as it was just now, but the atmosphere isn't as relaxed as usual. The birdsong outside the window is crisp and pleasant, lively and lively. But the atmosphere in the room is not as crisp and lively as this.
The more you want to know something, the more you need to be patient. The process of waiting has experienced anticipation and tension, and the result of waiting is even more desirable.
Zhou Anzhi and Yu Yixuan waited for a while, and then saw Yu Yixuan's secret guard walk into the house and say something in Yu Yixuan's ear. "What! Damn it! Yu Yixuan was surprised and said loudly.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Anzhi and Yu Yi'an asked at the same time, in fact, they asked what was wrong, but in fact, they had already made a judgment in their hearts, so that Imperial Doctor Wu was probably in trouble.
But they still want to grasp the last hope, hoping to hear some answers from Yu Yixuan's mouth that will make them feel a little more at ease. People are always like this, sometimes they would rather deceive themselves than accept the truth of the facts.
"Imperial Doctor Wu...... Violent death at home. Yu Yixuan said this sentence in a hesitant voice. The last hope was dashed, and sure enough, after last night's conversation was known, the person behind the manipulation had moved. The hard-won clue was broken again.
Looking at Zhou Anzhi and Yu Yi'an's disappointed looks, Yu Yixuan couldn't help but ask: "Then what should we do now, do you have any clues?" Moreover, this Imperial Doctor Wu is dead, do we have to hand it over to the Jingzhong Yamen to deal with? ”
"No, this yamen in Beijing will not find anything, and even if it does, it will not give the answer we want, after all, the people behind this matter, the yamen can't afford to provoke" Yu Yi'an calmly analyzed.
"That's right, it can't be handed over to the yamen, and we have to go to the scene of the crime before the yamen finds out to see if there is any evidence left by the murderer." Zhou Anzhi tried to calm herself down, she knew that she must not mess up now.
"Okay, then I'll leave now, second sister-in-law, second brother, you two stay in the mansion first, and I'll go with a few secret guards. As soon as I find the clues, I will come back and want you to report," Yu Yixuan said.
"I'll go with you, anyway, there's nothing to do in the mansion, and waiting in the mansion is also tormenting, so it's better to go with you." Zhou Anzhi hurriedly said.
She really can't wait, now that Imperial Doctor Wu's clue is very likely to be broken, the old Imperial Doctor may not let go of the prescription to her. So it inevitably seems a little flustered and hurried.
"Then I'll go too, your appearance is really a little uneasy, Anzhi, calm down, don't panic every time you meet someone close to you, what you need most now is calm, isn't it?" Yu Yi'an said softly to Zhou Anzhi.
Yu Yi'an's voice seemed to have some magical power, even if Zhou Anzhi thought about it a thousand times in his mind, but it was not as effective as Yu Yi'an telling her once.
"Then let's go." Yu Yixuan said. "Wait, it's inconvenient, it's easy to be recognized, let's change into plain clothes first." Yu Yixuan thought about it and hurriedly made additions.
After changing into civilian clothes, Zhou Anzhi and the three walked out from the back door of the Second Wang's Mansion. I was about to walk in the direction of Imperial Physician Wu's mansion. "Someone is following us, dispose of it first," Yu Yi'an said.
Zhou Anzhi and Yu Yixuan also knew when they heard it, they must be the man in black outside the queen's palace that night. When he was in the Second Prince's Mansion, due to the ironclad defense system of the Second Prince's Mansion, it was impossible for the man in black to sneak in and eavesdrop. So as soon as the palace changed, it followed.
"Dispose of him first." The three of them glanced at each other, and the long-term tacit understanding allowed them to know what the other party wanted to express with one look, and the three of them tacitly walked towards the dead end with few people.
The three of them walked into the labyrinthine alley, and the man in black followed, one of them quickened his steps, and the other dodged, and disappeared. The man in black thought that he had lost it, and became anxious to look around for the traces of the three people.
As everyone knows, the man in black has exposed himself in this way, and after a while, he has not found any trace of the three people, and the man in black suddenly realized that he had fallen into the trap of the enemy, and turned around and wanted to escape.
But it was too late, and as soon as the man in black turned around, he saw the out-of-body sword against his neck, and the other end of the sword, holding the strong hand of Yu Yi'an.
The man in black knew that there was no way back from the situation at this time, and he wanted to commit suicide by taking poison. Yu Yixuan sensed his intentions, hurriedly reached out and pinched his teeth, and punched the man in black out of the gum with a sharp punch.
"Don't think about taking poison to commit suicide, if you like poisons so much, I have a thousand and ten thousand poisons for you to try. Obediently cooperate with us, recruit the mastermind behind the scenes, and spare you from death. Zhou Anzhi said.
The man in black didn't react, as if he couldn't hear what they said, I was afraid that after some kind of training, this mouth was afraid that it would be difficult to pry it open, but no matter how difficult it was to pry it open, it looked too ridiculous after the torture of severe poison and pain.
"Don't you say yes? Okay, very good, some of me are poisonous, some are bitter, and some are painful, so let you try slowly, one by one. Zhou Anzhi looked directly into the eyes of the man in black and said fiercely.
Seeing that Zhou Anzhi's threat and intimidation were finished, and knowing that the goal had been achieved, Yu Yixuan instructed his subordinates: "Take him back to the dungeon of the Eight Princes' Mansion and take care of him."
After dealing with the black-clothed people here and making sure that no one was following them anymore, the three of them returned the same way and continued to the mansion of Imperial Doctor Wu to find out.
Climb over the wall of Imperial Physician Wu's mansion, pass through the garden of Qingya Mansion, and come to Imperial Physician Wu's bedroom. Although he died the night before, the smell of the corpse was still a little bit.
The three of them glanced at each other, pushed open the door, and saw the intact seat ornaments, obviously without a fight, and when they looked inside, it was the corpse of Imperial Physician Wu, and an arrow was inserted into Imperial Physician Wu's throat.
But the expression on Imperial Physician Wu's face was not hideous, but a little serene and peaceful, thinking that he was killed by an arrow while he was asleep, and he didn't even have time to react.
It is also pitiful, who would have thought that the partners who had reached an agreement would be shot with an arrow in their sleep like discarded garbage, and the life that was regarded as a treasure was worthless in the eyes of the other party.
