Chapter 251: The Plague Truth
In Wen Rushi's memory, Bai Fufu was an arrogant and domineering woman, and when he was in the capital, he saw Bai Fufu's ability to reverse right and wrong, so he didn't have much affection for this Bai family woman.
But at this moment, the woman who appeared in front of Wen Rushi's eyes no longer had the unruly appearance when she was in the capital, she was dressed in white, but with a fresh and refined meaning.
"White Girl." Wen Rushi shouted lightly.
Wen Rushi's cold appearance towards her, Bai Fufu knew that it was because the things in the capital left a bad impression on Wen Rushi, Bai Fufu didn't want to explain too much, she stepped forward and curtsied Wen Rushi, and her voice had the gentleness and softness unique to Jiangnan women.
"There are many offences in the capital, please take me to make amends to your wife, Bai Fufu will never set foot in the capital again in this life, and will stay here forever to atone for the great Bai family." Bai Fufu said.
On the contrary, it made Wen Rushi feel sad.
In fact, after listening to Ruan Xuchen and Gu Jinxi's opinions on the Bai family, Wen Rushi also knew that Bai Fufu was sent to the capital and insisted on marrying him because of the Bai family's relationship.
Wen Rushi doesn't blame Bai Fufu.
Wen Rushi took a step back slightly, and arched his hand, "Miss Bai doesn't have to say this, in the future, the Bai family will be Miss Bai's master, and I hope that Miss Bai will be successful in the future." β
Winning everything?
It was too difficult, everything she had hoped for was gone, but she still accepted Wen Rushi's best wishes.
I didn't expect Wen Rushi and Meng Tianlong to come back so soon, Ruan Cailing, Gu Jinxi and others were waiting for Meng Tianlong to arrive in Yanhua Tower, and Wen Rushi told them about the border city.
"It's not the plague, it's poison? How so? More than half of the people in the whole town died, and it was actually man-made? Ruan Cailing slapped her palm on the table, and her voice was crisp, and everyone waiting outside the door heard it.
Wen Rushi nodded solemnly, "Yes, it's poisoned, in fact, Uncle Long suspected that the plague was man-made at the beginning, but because he didn't see the patient with his own eyes, he couldn't confirm it, but after Uncle Long diagnosed them one by one, he finally confirmed it." β
This poison will spread in the air, at first it is only in the water, but the air here in the south of the Yangtze River is humid, and the well water evaporates and fills the air, and the whole town is sick.
And because they didn't take the antidote in time, they all died one after another.
At the same time, Meng Tianlong also found that people who were not poisoned had a characteristic, that is, they soaked in water with a herb on the back mountain all the year round to drink, and a group of people who did not fall ill were from poor families, and they dug up wild vegetables in the back mountain all year round to eat, but it saved their lives.
Meng Tianlong improved his prescription, and now the people who did not die have gradually improved, in order to prevent Ruan Cailing and others from going to the danger, Wen Rushi and Meng Tianlong chose to come back and report the situation.
Gu Jinxi said, "It seems that this matter is inseparable from the Nine Emperor Princes who were sent to the frontier!" β
This matter was put on the agenda at the beginning because Xie Qingyuan was in a hurry to be in the limelight and gain a firm foothold in the imperial court, otherwise the emperor would not really pay more attention to such a remote town.
Could it be that Xie Qingyuan is the one who poisoned him?
There is no definite evidence yet, so it is difficult to make a decision, Gu Jinxi asked Ruan Cailing, "What do you think should be done now?" The Bai family has confessed to the law, and will be sent to the capital in the near future, and the emperor's orders have been completed, what should we do next? β
Ruan Cailing raised her hand and bit her fingers, meditating.
Ruan Xuchen frowned, slapped Ruan Cailing's hand that was clenching his fist to his lips, and wrinkled his eyebrows, "How old is it, why are you still biting your fingers?" It's a joke! β
Coming back to her senses, Ruan Cailing glanced at Gu Jinxi in confusion, but she didn't expect the latter to be smiling, reaching out to wipe the shiny saliva from Ruan Cailing's lips, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect my fiancΓ©e to have such a dull side, I thought that my future lady would always be shrewd and capable!" β
Hearing Gu Jinxi's banter, Ruan Cailing rolled her eyes, "It's too tiring to be shrewd and capable, it's good if I'm shrewd and capable outside, and I'm still more comfortable exposing my nature in front of you." β
However, she turned her head sideways and said embarrassedly to Wen Rushi, "Look at the joke." β
Wen Rushi sat in a different posture and said with a smile, "As long as the two princes don't kill people." β
Ruan Cailing was puzzled, "Why did I want to kill you?" β
"I know too much about it."
Cailing Ruan, "......"
After fighting for a while, his mind cleared up, and Ruan Cailing said, "The top priority now is to find the person who poisoned it, and to find out the relationship between this matter and Xie Qingyuan and others." β
"Speaking of which, I received a message when I was still in Tianji Pavilion, and I thought it was useless at the time, but now that I think about it, maybe it has something to do with it."
Chen Heng, who was sitting on the bench at the back and looking at the stage below, suddenly spoke.
This person didn't speak, Ruan Cailing forgot that there was such a person in the house, Chen Heng was really quiet when he was quiet, but when he chattered, Ruan Cailing really wanted to let someone put a seal on his mouth.
Ruan Cailing asked suspiciously, "You say." β
When he was still in Tianji Pavilion, because of the relationship between Gu Jinxi and Ruan Cailing, there was one more job within this year, which was to separate the news of Xie Qingyuan and the family, and after sorting it out, Chen Heng read it, picked the more important ones or were interested in sending them to Gu Jinxi.
There is a sorting step because the news of Tianji Pavilion is too cumbersome, and even the people in the family have been clearly recorded how many times they have been to the toilet.
Chen Heng was also dissatisfied with Gu Jinxi because of this extra task.
Hearing Chen Heng say this, Ruan Cailing blinked, no wonder the first time Chen Heng saw Gu Jinxi when he was on the boat, it was white-eyed......
It turned out that it was because she had made Tianji Pavilion more tasks.
Gu Jinxi said, "Go on." β
It is useless to say something.
I really wanted to talk about it when I had an opportunity, Gu Jinxi really didn't understand how Chen Heng's character endured for so long after leaving Shengguo.
Chen Heng pursed his lips and continued, "One of them is that Cheng Lisheng sent two guards from the palace to Jiangnan, and they went for about a week, I didn't think much about it at the time, but now I think about it. β
Closing the fan, he pointed at them, "Time can meet." β
Originally, I suspected that the family and Xie Qingyuan were related, but if this was the case......
Ruan Cailing said, "As in the world, if you go back and suppress those imperial doctors who came with Xie Qingyuan, they must know something, but because you and Uncle Long are our people, they don't dare to say it." β
"It's broken!" Wen Rushi suddenly shouted.
Ruan Xuchen hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" β
Wen Rushi said, "That group of imperial doctors are seeing that people are getting better, and they can't help if they stay here, they are all ready to leave!" Leave today! β
Bang.
Ruan Cailing slapped the table violently.
It's going to run!
This group of people saw that Meng Tianlong had detoxified the poison, and they knew that Meng Tianlong must have been able to prescribe the right medicine because he understood the reason, and he was actually going to run now.
Ruan Cailing grabbed Gu Jinxi's sleeve with her backhand and said, "Let's go, Jinxi, go now!" Hurry up and be sure to stop people! β
"Uh-huh!"
Seeing that the two of them ran out in a hurry, Ruan Xuchen and Wen Rushi glanced at each other, and wanted to go together, but Ruan Cailing turned around and shouted to Ruan Xuchen, "Big brother, you stay!" Let's go and go back! β
No matter what, let's put people down first, it's not so easy to run away if you hurt people!
Drive! Drive!
Ruan Cailing was hugged by Gu Jinxi in front, and rushed towards the direction of the border city, Ruan Cailing said to Gu Jinxi, "This group of imperial doctors must be people who know the inside story, even if they are not poisoned people." β
"The person Xie Qingyuan brought this time was originally the inner line belonging to Mu Yichen in the palace, and it was used to find out the emperor's true physical condition at first, but later the emperor found out that he had not used this group of people again, so it was inevitable that he would lose some momentum." Gu Jinxi said.
The chief imperial doctor in the palace is very old, and rarely enters the palace, and he only goes twice a month, all to help the emperor take the pulse.
But after the emperor knew Mu Yichen's thoughts, he began to train another imperial doctor, and the previous group of people, whether Mu Yichen was or not, were replaced.
"Fortunately, Chunhui is smart, she introduced her to the emperor, when she was sick when she was a child, the doctor who saved her life, now she is a high-status female official in the palace, and has the preference of Chunhui and Mu Yizuo, but her position is stable, and the emperor also believes it."
The emperor believed it because he knew that Mu Yizuo had no intention of harming others.
Otherwise, the emperor will not use any female officials.
Knowing that Mu Yizuo was defeated by soft-heartedness, but he also had the strength to be soft-hearted with Mu Yizuo, which was really a little entangled.
Ruan Cailing sat sideways on the horse, hugged Gu Jinxi's waist, put her face on Gu Jinxi's chest, and said calmly, "So this time, they are also the last time, as long as they return to Beijing, they will definitely die!" But they don't know it, they think it's dangerous to stay here! β
After going back, this group of people will definitely be killed by Xie Qingyuan or Cheng Lisheng, and they will not keep such a big handle in the hands of the imperial doctor.
When the time comes, people are dead, and they want proof, and it will be even more difficult!
"Hold me tight!" Gu Jinxi said.
Ruan Cailing nodded and hugged Gu Jinxi hard.
Ruan Xuchen and Wen Rushi, who stayed in Yanhua Building, were still talking about this matter, but fortunately, Meng Tianlong had not come back yet, otherwise it would be troublesome.
Ruan Xuchen said, "The chief imperial doctor who remains in the palace now is Chun Hui and Mu Yizuo's henchmen, and the emperor can rest assured that he will use it, but he didn't expect this group of people to use the people of the entire town as bargaining chips." β
"Since the people left by the Nine Emperor Princes by the emperor's side were discovered, even if they lost their position, they always had to find a way to survive in the palace, and it could be regarded as a dangerous move." Wen Rushi said.
Ruan Xuchen sighed, "It's good to be in time." β
