After the fifth watch, the sky was already glowing with a little light, and the entire Luoyang City was closed and deserted. At this time, most people were still asleep, but for Lin Qingzhi and Lin Chengde, they were not sleepy, although their faces were calm and abnormal, they were anxious. The palace gate will open at midnight, Xiao Mufeng left the Lin Mansion and got into the carriage and galloped towards the nearest Guanghua Gate.

Tianshan Snow Lotus, also known as Snow Lotus, is a unique rare and precious thing in the Western Regions, grows on the cliff cliff of about 4,000 meters above sea level in the Tianshan Mountains, among the ice-stained rock crevices, where the climate is cold, the snow does not melt all the year round, ordinary plants can not survive at all, but the Snow Lotus can be proud of frost and snow in the severe cold of dozens of degrees below zero and in the hypoxic environment of thin air, and grows tenaciously. This unique survival habit and unique growth environment make it natural and rare, and create its unique pharmacological effect and magical medicinal value, people worship snow lotus as "the king of herbs", "the best in medicine", not only precious and abnormal, the key is that there is money and may not be able to buy, every year the Western Regions tribute to the rare things will have one or two Tianshan snow lotus, and this year because the climate of the Tianshan Mountains is colder than in previous years, so at the end of the year, the Western Regions to make tribute is only one, only this one does not need to think about how many people fought for their lives to come, Generally, these precious herbs are placed in the Imperial Pharmacy.

The carriage stopped slowly at the gate of the palace, handed over the token and let the palace gate guards see it, Xiao Mufeng and Anai got out of the car and walked briskly in the direction of Chongde Palace, the residence of Xiao Jingjiao, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. In the past, Emperor Jin always got up at the same time, and in the past two days, because he often had headaches like pins and needles, he ordered a three-day suspension of the dynasty, which also exempted the princes from greetings.

When Xiao Mufeng entered, he met Zhang Fu who had just come out of the hall and held a whisk outside the hall, although he was over forty years old, he could not see the old state at all, if he said that who in this world knew the heart of the Jin Emperor best, it was none other than Zhang Fu, he stayed by the emperor's side day and night, so many years of undiminished kindness, he was definitely smart and intelligent, at this moment he saw Xiao Mufeng walking into the hall and bent down and saluted, and whispered: "Your Majesty has a head wind, and he has not slept well all night, and he is bored and angry at this time, His Royal Highness is still cautious in his words and deeds." Then he slowly withdrew from the outside of the temple.

Xiao Mufeng arched his hand and said, "Thank you Manager Zhang for reminding me." Then he pushed open the door of the palace and stepped into the hall, the emperor was wearing a black brocade robe and was lying on the dragon couch with his eyes closed, and the brocade robe was embroidered with gold dragon teeth and claws, as if he wanted to come back to life. The emperor slowly opened his eyes when he heard the movement and said, "The wind is coming." Emperor Jin went to war everywhere as a young man, and now he has passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, his temples have been dyed with white hair, and wrinkles have climbed on his slightly old face.

"The son of the emperor greets his father." Xiao Mufeng walked to the couch and bowed.

"Get up, Feng'er, didn't you let Zhang Fuchuan not have to say hello every day, why did you come so early today." The emperor closed his eyes and said slowly. The little eunuch on the side took the brocade pier and came over, Xiao Mufeng took his clothes and sat down.

"Father's body has not been safe these days, and my son can rest assured that he will come to take a look." Xiao Mufeng knew that the emperor was in a depressed mood when he knew that the emperor had a storm, and he directly explained his intentions.

"You have a heart, let Dr. Liu perform acupuncture and massage treatment before going to bed in the past two days, and I feel much better, but I still can't sleep well at night." The emperor touched his forehead with his hand and said lightly.

"The county lord of Zhaoning likes to study medicine since he was a child, and he is also a good person who reads medical history classics, and a few days ago he went to Zuo Xiangfu and Qingji for a drink, and the county lord gave his son some benzoin she concocted, which is very easy to use, and the son returned to the house and sent it over with Ana, if the father likes it, he can let the county lord make some more if he goes back." Xiao Mufeng's eyes showed a slight look of worry.

"Qingzhi's girl has been smart since she was a child, but I didn't expect that she is still proficient in medical science now, and it is also a blessing for Zuo Xiang to be able to get a woman." The emperor opened his cloudy eyes and smiled lightly.

"The son came to see his father today, and he asked for one more thing, please ask for his father's permission." Xiao Mufeng got up and knelt down, and said in a firm tone.

"What is worth such a big battle for you, get up and speak." The emperor knows the character of his son, usually he is silent, but Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw today's solemn face, and got up and sat up slowly.

Xiao Mufeng took the soft pillow next to him and put it on the emperor's back, and told the emperor in detail about the assassination of his mansion and Zuo Xiangfu last night. After that, he picked up the high-grade porcelain glazed tea cup on the table next to him and threw it on the ground, and suddenly the porcelain cup shattered, the tea splashed everywhere, and the emperor, who had used too much force, suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and he had an unbearable headache.

"Father and emperor should take care of the dragon body, don't be angry, this matter has yet to be investigated, maybe someone is looking for an opportunity to frame the eldest brother and wants to make our brother a wall." Xiao Mufeng helped the emperor to lie down again, and said with concern.

"The top priority is to solve the poison of Qingji's drunken red face, and this poison comes from the rare Chu world, the antidote needs mandala grass and Tianshan Snow Lotus, Erchen entered the palace today and wanted to ask his father to allow the Tianshan Snow Lotus stored in the imperial pharmacy of the Tai Hospital to pay tribute to the Western Regions to give his son to save Brother Qingji's life, after all, this matter started because of me, if Brother Qingji has any three long and two short, Erchen is only afraid that he will no longer have the face to face Zuo Xiang and the county lord of Zhaoning." Xiao Mufeng's eyes were calm and sad.

"You are benevolent and kind, I am very comforted, pass on my message to let Zhang Fu go to the Tai Hospital with you, since the assassin matter is related to you, you will be responsible, I will let Dali Temple cooperate with you, and also appease Zuo Xiang for me." The emperor leaned back on the pillow with his eyes closed, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, and his face tired, and raised his hand to signal Xiao Mufeng to retreat.

"The son of the minister retired, please take care of the dragon body of the father." Xiao Mufeng bowed and slowly withdrew from the inner hall, and Zhang Fu was already waiting at the entrance of the hall after receiving the emperor's orders.

Out of the palace door the sky has been bright, the morning sun is blooming, the pale golden sunlight shines on the glazed tiles of the palace at the corner of the eaves is very dazzling and eye-catching, from the Chongde Hall to the Tai Hospital to pass through several palaces, the Chongde Hall is located on the main axis, there are more than a dozen palace palaces on the east and west wings of the Chongde Palace, all of them are the places where the dependents of the harem live, and the one located in the northeast corner of the main axis is the Tai Hospital.

The Imperial Pharmacy is set up in the Imperial Hospital, the Imperial Pharmacy is set up in the Pharmacy to store medicinal materials, and the precious medicinal materials are stored in the Imperial Pharmacy, passing through the Imperial Garden and several palaces, Xiao Mufeng and Zhang Fu and Anai came to the courtyard of the first and two courtyards to stop, only to see a little Guizi, the steward of the Imperial Pharmacy wearing gray eunuch clothes, saw Zhang Fu and Xiao Mufeng's face turned pale and asked for peace, and his face became even more ugly after learning the intention, and he knelt down and said: "The slave is preparing to report to the court to judge the adult, the pharmacy of the Imperial Pharmacy was burglarized last night, and there are three precious medicinal materials missing, One of them is the Tianshan Snow Lotus that His Highness wants. Xiao Guizi is in charge of the management and security of the imperial pharmacy, and the loss of medicinal materials is naturally inseparable, and his voice is crying, and his body trembles like chaff.

Hearing the words of the inner supervisor, Xiao Mufeng clenched his fists, clenched his teeth, his eyes were about to erupt into flames, and he said hatefully: "Manager Zhang, please report this matter to your father, at the feet of the dignified son of heaven, dare to openly assassinate the prince and important ministers in the middle of the night in the great imperial city, and even the imperial hospital is like entering a no-man's land, is there any royal law to follow?" After that, he brushed his sleeves and left, Xiao Mufeng knew that it was useless to immediately entangle who had done this, and it was important to find the medicine to save Lin Qingji first, so he strode out of the palace and got into the carriage and went straight to the Lin Mansion.

When Xiao Mufeng returned to the Lin Mansion, Mr. Xuanji had already picked mandala grass, because he did not fulfill his promise to get the Tianshan Snow Lotus, seeing Lin Qingji's face was more pale and transparent, Xiao Mufeng's face was solemn, Lin Chengde knew that Xiao Mufeng was guilty of self-blame, so he gently persuaded him: "Your Highness doesn't have to blame yourself too much, Shaolin Temple has a miracle medicine Tianxin Detoxification Pill, which can cure the poison of the world, Mr. Xuanji and Shaolin Yixin Master had a lifelong friendship in the early years, I have sent someone to take Mr. Xuanji's handwritten letter to Shaolin quickly, At the latest, I can rush back tomorrow morning, and I have already given Ji'er the Heart Protective Pill to delay toxicity just now. Lin Chengde said.

"I'm sorry" Xiao Mufeng lowered his head, with some guilt in his eyes, and said apologetically.

"I don't blame you for this, I expected it from today since I decided to break with the crown prince and the queen, not to mention that I, as the left minister of the dynasty, how can I stay out of everything." Lin Chengde stood in front of the window, his eyes wandering over the window and falling blankly on the secluded road in the distance.

At this moment, Lin Qingzhi has rushed back to Yaxuan to take care of Rongyue, Rongyue grew up with her since she was a child, and she has long treated each other as relatives, at this moment Lin Qingji and Rongyue were both assassinated, and she was the most tormented in their hearts. Thinking that the murderer had not yet caught her, the hatred in his heart was surging, and he forced himself to calm down and sort out all kinds of messy situations, perhaps because he had been highly nervous and concerned from last night to today, and his mind was gradually tired and fell into chaos.

When Xiao Mufeng came to Yaxuan, he saw Lin Qingzhi sleeping quietly next to the soft collapse where Rongyue was lying, Xiao Mufeng thought that since he came back from Qingzhou, from the moment when the queen and the prince killed him, from the moment he decided to embark on the road of confrontation, Lin Qingzhi tried every means to maneuver for him, and gave advice for him, and now even the safety of herself and her closest relatives was put into it, her heart was sour, her eyes were full of pity and worry, she reached out and brushed a strand of hair on Lin Qingzhi's face, and saw Lin Qingzhi sleeping peacefully, So he called the maidservant to take a woolen blanket and put it on Lin Qingzhi gently, got up and paced to the window and stood quietly, her eyes wandered over the window and fell to the banyan tree in the distance, her eyebrows were deeply locked and she was thinking about what had happened recently.
