Chapter 189

The palace wall is high and the palace road is deep and far.

On the quiet path, only footsteps echoed, hurried, step by step, hurried by.

The man carried the medicine box, crossed the path of flowers and willows, and came to the palace.

Duke Li, who had been waiting at the door, smiled and said, "doctor Qin, please come in. The emperor has been waiting for a long time."

Li Peng said and led doctor Qin inside.

Qin Taiyi was named Qin Shi. He was twenty-three years old and in his prime. He bowed his head and followed Li Peng into the imperial study.

"See the emperor." Qin Shi knelt respectfully on the ground and dared not lift his head. This was the first time he entered the imperial study and was the first time he was so close to the emperor.

"How? Does Beiwang's body matter?"

Qin Shi fell to the ground and said respectfully, "the northern king was acclimatized when he first came to Kyoto. In addition, he already had some old diseases. Now the old diseases relapse, vomiting and diarrhea, and he has lost his human form. Let alone go out to court, he can't even get out of bed."

Qian Yu took a breath of air-conditioning, and a little consternation flashed between his eyebrows and eyes: "I saw him in the court yesterday. I didn't expect that he couldn't even get out of bed today."

"Diseases come and go like a mountain. These patients are old diseases that have accumulated over the years. Now they come out together. No wonder Beiwang can't afford to be sick."

Qian Yu sighed: "the North King is a good general of our country. If you don't have the North King, you don't know how arrogant those ambitious people in the north will be. During the Qin Dynasty, you must try your best to heal the North King."

Qin Shi fell to the ground: "yes, Qin Shi will do his best to treat the North King's disease, and will definitely live up to the emperor's great trust!"

Qian Yu waved, "go down."

Li Peng led Qin Shi out of the door and said with a smile: "the imperial doctor Qin is worthy of being the backbone of the dry country. He is only 20 years old. He can get the emperor's attention and assign important tasks. Congratulations to the imperial doctor Qin and the imperial doctor Qin."

"Grandpa Li is very polite. Thanks to the emperor's help, he led me into the palace. Otherwise, I'm still a small doctor in an ordinary village and can't do anything." Qin Shi's eyes lit up: "the emperor has a renewed kindness to me. Even though I was devastated, it was difficult for me to repay this kindness."

Li Peng covered his lips and giggled: "no wonder the emperor attaches so much importance to doctor Qin. Doctor Qin is so talkative."

"What Qin said is true. I dare not talk nonsense."

"The emperor already knows the loyalty of doctor Qin. Doctor Qin can rest assured."

……

On the other side, Yi Xiaoqiao sat behind the bead curtain and was eating melon seeds without a sound. Her feet were full of melon seed skin.

Behind the bead curtain, you can vaguely see the figure of Mu Yi'an, lying on the bed, looking like a woman.

"Lin Yi is really good at medicine. You look even more pitiful." Yi Xiaoqiao's voice was not half sad, and even faintly showed a little smile.

"Poor? I'm afraid it's not enough." Mu Yi'an got up, tied the button calmly, and his eyes fell behind the bead curtain.

The light flows and is shadowy. You can vaguely see Yi Xiaoqiao's smiling figure.

Mu Yi'an pursed his lips and pressed the throbbing in his heart: "madam, how long are you going to watch here?"

"I'm not looking at you." Yi Xiaoqiao knocked the melon seeds and raised his chin: "I'm waiting for them."

Outside, there are Tang Jiu and two other unknown dark guards.

The three men stood respectfully at the door, standing with arms and hands, and dared not lift their heads.

They came to report the investigation. Mu Yi'an didn't want Yi Xiaoqiao to listen, but Yi Xiaoqiao insisted now. There was a rogue momentum that he didn't let him listen and didn't go. He was not feeling well and couldn't even quarrel with her. He had no choice but to shake his head: "if you don't come in, how to report from outside."

Tang Jiu and the other two men entered and saluted respectfully: "general."

"Well, how's the investigation going?"

Tang Jiu took the lead in coming forward: "general Hui, there is no trace of blood lotus sect in Kyoto. Although there are traces of blood lotus Sect on several people before, his subordinates have searched the whole Kyoto and found no other blood lotus sect members."

Mu Yi'an glanced at Yi Xiaoqiao and said, "did you find Cuifang pavilion?"

"The Cuifang pavilion has been checked. They are all ordinary women. According to the Cui mother of the Cuifang Pavilion, those people are not their people in the Cuifang Pavilion at all. Their subordinates also took people to check the Cuifang pavilion that day. The girls in the Cuifang Pavilion were drugged and obviously premeditated..." Tang Jiu said, glancing carefully at Yi Xiaoqiao.

Yi Xiaoqiao has a strong eye for picking places. It's not good where to go. He went to Cuifang Pavilion, and there was an ambush in Cuifang Pavilion. He thought it was very strange.

Yi Xiaoqiao didn't seem to notice his eyes. He was bored and ate melon seeds: "how's the investigation over xitui? Can you find the antidote?"

One of the men changed his look a little, and then respectfully said, "general Hui, there is no whereabouts for the time being. His subordinates have explored it. This poison disappeared a long time ago, and no one has seen it."

Mu Yi'an doesn't feel disappointed. He has already been prepared. Since this poison is so strange, it will take a lot of trouble to find an antidote.

"The antidote can't be found. The prince who asked you to check before should have a clue." Yi Xiaoqiao's eyes turned and fell on the man, with a bit of severity in his eyes.

This matter was arranged after she came back from Feicheng. If there is no clue for so long, they are too incompetent.

The man looked up at Mu Yian.

Mu Yian's face was calm: "this matter..."

"My husband already knew?" Yi Xiaoqiao leaned over and asked with a bead curtain.

Mu Yi'an shrunk his eyes and quickly moved his eyes: "the blood lotus sect has indeed kidnapped a group of women and presented them to the 16th Lord of Xi Chui, but the Lord has disappeared now."

During the half year of Yi Xiaoqiao's sleep, all the news of the dark guard was sent to Mu Yi'an. Naturally, Mu Yi'an also received the report about the 16th king of xitui. Afterwards, he also found an opportunity to find the king. Unfortunately, he seemed to have heard the wind and fled.

Now xitui is also looking for the 16th Lord.

"Missing." Yi Xiaoqiao put down the bead curtain and sat back on the chair: "what's the origin of the 16th Lord?"

Mu Yi'an winked. Tang Jiu turned back and saluted and said respectfully, "Madam Hui, it is said that the 16th Lord is the brother of the former Emperor of xitui, that is, the uncle of the current king of xitui."

"Oh." Yi Xiaoqiao looked up and thought for a moment: "so the status is still very high."

"Yes, the 16th Lord and King xitui are about the same age. They grew up together since childhood. It is said that the 16th Lord has no competition with the world and has a very leisurely life, but I didn't expect that behind his back... He is that kind of dressed animal."

The women they rescued from the blood lotus sect were tortured and bruised all over. Even during the exploration, they found many tortured and dead bodies from the 16th Lord's house, which can be said to be quite abnormal.

Yi Xiaoqiao finally stopped eating melon seeds and said, "from now on, everyone will try their best to trace the whereabouts of the 16th Lord. In addition, you go to Beijiang, the princess qianmei... Ask if you can, and steal her if you can't."

"..." Tang Jiu, who was named, said that I was not willing to steal at all.
