The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 302 News of Concubine Shu
After leaving King Zheng's courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, Xiao Yanzhi deliberately asked the dead man to drive back from the path near the Temple of Five Plagues in order to hide himself cleanly.

Unexpectedly, the Temple of the Five Plagues, where the weeds grow so tall, is surprisingly full of incense today.

There was an endless stream of people offering incense and praying. The road that could have been covered in less than half an hour had to be walked for two hours. It was not until noon that the two of them entered the city.

And the whole Ping'an Street was no longer noisy as before, except for the overcrowded medicine shop, the rest of the shops were deserted.

Although Wang Weiquan had sent troops to cut off the communication between the south of the city and the east and west of the city, the north of the city was the royal backyard, and it was surrounded like an iron barrel.

However, in the east and west of the city, there are still people who are infected with the epidemic. Some of these people will be immediately taken to the nursing home for isolation, and some will be placed in their own empty houses.Although there is a special person to take care of her and give her soup and medicine, no one can say for sure whether she will be able to come out alive afterwards.

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Yanzhi unhurriedly pulled out several sealed letters from the letter box, and read them word by word.

On the surface, the epidemic in the southern outskirts of the city seems to be under control, but in fact it is Wang Weiquan and others whitewashing the peace for the sake of merit.

The imperial hospital made Hao Dashan run to the east and west of the city, leading the people from the imperial hospital and the doctors who volunteered to do free clinics to be overwhelmed.However, it is still unable to prevent mild patients from turning into severe patients, and severe patients die.

But even so, they still refused to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and went to try Lu Yungui's prescription.

On the contrary, the joint trial of the three divisions against Lu Yungui is proceeding step by step in the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

What surprised Xiao Yanzhi was that although Lu Yunli never bent the law for personal gain, he never imagined that it was for such a case that he sent his other brothers to the Yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial.

He only remembered that after he parted from Lu Wanlan, when he jumped out from the courtyard wall, he happened to see a group of people dressed as matchmakers and servants yelling around the gate of Dingguo Mansion's other courtyard.

It is said that he heard that the Liu family of the Lu family was in chaos and finally abandoned, and the head of the Lu family, Princess Yan, actually wanted to come to the door to withdraw the engagement, so today he wants to seek justice for his daughter.

They were escorted to the Yamen, could it be because of this incident?

But haven't these words been used on Lu Yunfan all the time?Why is it replaced by Lu Yunce now?

Could it be that something happened in the middle?
He quickly flipped through a few more secret letters, which contained no desired answers except for the current epidemic situation in various parts of the capital and the situation in the palace.

And the most important thing is that on seven sheets of Ruyi cloud pattern rice paper, there is not even a word about Lu Wanlan mentioned.

Xiao Yanzhi sighed, lightly raised his slender fingers to press the center of his brows, a little unaccustomed to this uncontrollable uneasiness.

The wheels drove across a quiet and wide road, and stopped slowly outside the Donghua Gate of the Imperial Palace.

He received the secret letter, and asked lightly: "What time is it?"

The dead man looked up and saw that the golden black and white awns would shine on the roof of the double-eaved verandah on the gate tower, which was dazzling like a horse chain, so he replied: "Go back to the prince, it is three quarters in the afternoon."

"Come on, wait a little longer."

After Xiao Yanzhi finished speaking, he heard the palace door being opened, and a burst of noise came from inside, and there were a few indistinct sobs mixed in with the bell-ringing dirge.

A huge coffin was exposed, followed by palace officials in white clothes, and the funeral was mighty and mighty, pouring out from the door like a silver snake pressing down on the ground.

Funeral at [-]:[-] p.m.?

A dead man driving a car is unheard of.

"My lord? This."

Turning around and seeing Xiao Yanzhi's pupils covered with ice, he guessed that the person in the coffin should be the honorable man who did not die well, so he didn't say any more.

Xiao Yanzhi knew that the death of Ronggui was not that simple, and the order received by the Ministry of Rites was to handle it as soon as possible. Besides, her death was horrific, and there were many things in the palace, so it was really not appropriate to delay.

It's just that the cause of death hasn't been clarified yet, so the Wang family didn't say anything.The Empress Dowager and Empress also avoided seeing them, why?

Take a closer look at the funeral scene, although it is full of the appearance of a noble concubine.But she was just a noble person before she was alive. Apart from the officials of the Ministry of Rites, there were only some court ladies and eunuchs left in the funeral procession. It was more like a show to walk along the way.

After watching quietly for a moment, Xiao Yanzhi leisurely put down the curtain of the carriage and continued to wait.

After all, the purpose of coming outside the palace at this time is to invite the emperor Xiao Jingyu to pick up his mother and concubine back to the palace.

It can be said that at three o'clock in the afternoon, they waited outside the Donghua Gate, but they did not see Concubine Shu for a long time.

Xiao Yanzhi thought to himself, maybe the imperial physician and officials in the palace who were in charge of expelling the epidemic refused to let her mother and concubine go out of the palace for the safety of the concubine.Then he took the token and asked the dead man to hand it to the gatekeeper.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the dead man received the token, he saw a thin and thin court lady running quickly from the end of the funeral procession: "His Royal Highness, I am Tan Xue."

She is the personal maid of the concubine, Xiao Yanzhi naturally recognizes her.

In order to avoid being discovered by the gatekeepers, he was asked to get on the carriage to discuss in detail, while the dead man drove to keep up with the funeral procession.

It's just that at this time, the mother and concubine did not leave the palace, but instead let Tan Xue out, Xiao Yanzhi was a little worried:
"Where is the concubine?"

"Concubine Shu is fine, she said that there is still Fu Gui in the palace who needs to take care of her, so she only asked the slaves to give this to the prince."

After Tan Xue finished speaking, she handed half a snack wrapped in a silk handkerchief to Xiao Yanzhi:

"The concubine said that although the nobleman Rong is domineering, the dead are the most important. I couldn't bear to see her die without condolences, so she took the servants to cleanse and change the quilt for the nobleman. During the period, the nobleman's personal maid handed it to The concubine said that she had been tightly held by the nobleman. The concubine broke off a piece of this snack and fed it to the pheasant in the imperial dining room. Swallowed."

"Have you seen this dim sum elsewhere? Has anyone tested the stuff here?" Xiao Yanzhi looked at it coldly.

"Going back to the lord, Auntie Qiao said that the thing in this heart is a kind of anesthetic, which is specially used to treat arrow wounds and gunshot wounds. She heard from Aunt Liu who was next to the concubine Yan that when the concubine Yan went to visit nobleman Fu , originally wanted to bring some dim sum, but because it had already been delivered the day before, I decided to replace it with hot soup, somehow, this dim sum would be eaten by Mr. Ronggui."

It was the anesthetic?
Xiao Yanzhi is very familiar with this thing.

Li Aotang, the son of Marquis Dingbei, died at its hands, and Lu Wanlan's life was almost ruined by it.

As for the person who used this kind of anesthetic to kill people, apart from Yu Wang Xiao Yihan, I am afraid that there is no one else.

"This is what Concubine Yan wanted to bring to Fu Guiren? Xiao Yanzhi interrupted at the right time, and the coldness in his eyes became even more cold, "Are you sure? "

"I can't go wrong, Liu Gu's best Yunpian Cake, even Mrs. Yao from the Household Secretary's family tried it, and asked someone to ask Liu Gu for the recipe."

After Tan Xue finished speaking, she was afraid that the prince might misunderstand that it was Aunt Liu who poisoned her, so she hurriedly explained:

"The concubine said that the dim sum must have been tampered with in the imperial dining room. That's why Duan Xinglang, the head of the Yizhi Department, was bribed to give the funeral to Ronggui at [-]:[-] noon. The purpose is to let the servants see the prince. one side."

"En." Xiao Yanzhi nodded, "You go first, go back to the palace and take good care of mother and concubine, don't be invaded by the epidemic."

Tan Xue said yes, so she found an intersection and got off the car, chasing the funeral procession.

Seeing the figure of the palace maid disappearing into the snow white, the dead man asked Xiao Yanzhi: "My lord, do you want to go back to the palace?"

"Tell Tang Feng what to do, do you have a reply?"

"No."

Shi Shi paused, and was about to say something, but turned around and saw his prince pulling out a few seedling knives from under the seat of the carriage, he couldn't help being surprised.

Isn't this the weapon that I seized when I followed Brother Tang to capture those men in black after the explosion of Huabo Bureau?

Although the men in black were killed, the tokens and weapons remained.

"Order people to take these and go find Tang Feng and Chi Zheng." Xiao Yanzhi finished speaking with a blank expression before adding, "Go to the Ministry of Punishment."
