Chapter 422, Asking for Medicine

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, all parts of Prince Rong's mansion were decorated with lights and colorful decorations, giving it a very festive atmosphere.

In Rongan Courtyard, Shi Fuxin patiently checked the accounts sent from various places in Shennong Hall, but she was thinking about Ye Mo who had not returned to Beijing for a long time.

Ye Mo had already retired, but this time he was remembered by the emperor again. In the final analysis, it was because of her. She was the one who caused him trouble and deprived him of a stable life.

"lady."

When Shi Fuxin saw Xiaofang coming back, she said calmly: "How is the family doing?"

Xiaofang: "According to Madam's instructions, we only let our people hang out in front of the Li family from time to time and did nothing. Just like that, the family has been in panic all day long."

Shi Fuxin: "Is there any reaction from the Fourth Prince?"

Xiaofang smiled and said: "The Fourth Prince has informed the Nancheng Military and Horse Division and asked them to increase patrols. The people from the Military and Horse Division cannot stop our people."

Shi Fuxin sneered: "It seems that the fourth prince doesn't pay much attention to Li Fuzhi." The kid is the most difficult to deal with. If he really wants to pay attention to the Li family, why not just take him under his wing and protect him?

Asking the Soldiers and Horses Division to increase patrols is just a superficial effort.

Xiaofang asked: "Madam, do you want to continue to harass the Li family?"

Shi Fuxin: "Of course."

Xiaofang nodded: "Madam, do you want to use more measures?"

Shi Fuxin shook her head: "No, it's best to just do nothing. Only by cutting the flesh with a dull knife can people feel the pain. The fear of the unknown is what disturbs people the most."

Xiaofang stopped talking. At this time, Chu Yao walked in.

Seeing his tired face, Shi Fuxin stood up and handed him a cup of tea.

Chu Yao picked up the tea and took a few sips, and then said: "During this period, the fourth prince has been making constant moves. He frequently attacks the eldest prince and I help him secretly. It's a bit difficult to be thorough."

Shi Fuxin frowned: "Are these four princes too powerful?"

Chu Yao's face darkened: "If I guessed correctly, the former prince should have left some of his and the Wei family's manpower to the fourth prince."

Shi Fuxin felt a little surprised: "The former prince and the fourth prince have always been sworn enemies. I didn't expect him to be so generous now."

Chu Yao: "Compared to the fourth prince, the former prince doesn't want to see the eldest prince get everything."

Shi Fuxin looked over: "Why is this?"

Chu Yao was silent for a moment: "The former prince's thoughts should be similar to what I think about Chu Xuan and Chu Zhao. They are both grandsons and sons. How can someone get everything without doing anything? The former prince has always been a little jealous. The prince’s.”

Shi Fuxin did not comment on this, but said: "If the fourth prince takes over the influence left by the prince and the Wei family, it will be more difficult for us to deal with him."

Chu Yao agreed with his face: "Who says it's not the case? The Duke of Ming Dynasty alone is enough to give people a headache. During this period, the Duke of Ming Dynasty has been helping the fourth prince to suppress the eldest prince."

Shi Fuxin was silent: "Actually, the fourth prince's problem is just a symptom, and the emperor is the real problem."

Hearing this, Chu Yao sighed. Of course he could see that the emperor was deliberately pushing the eldest prince and the fourth prince to fight, just like the prince and the fourth prince before.

But whether the emperor wanted to stabilize the court situation or temper the princes' character, now that they had entered this chess game, they could only follow the eldest prince into the vortex of the fight.

"Fortunately, the emperor still values ​​the eldest prince very much. Although he dotes on the fourth prince, he does not ignore the eldest prince."

Shi Fuxin understood Chu Yao's meaning and understood that in his mind, he wanted the eldest prince and the fourth prince to compete for the emperor's favor. She pondered for a moment and silently swallowed the words of 'directly solving the root cause of the problem'.

"Is there any news about Ye Mo?"

Chu Yao did not answer directly, but said: "Just today, the four chief arresting yamen of the east, west, south and north have all been sent to the emperor."

As he said that, he looked at Shi Fuxin, "Your brother should come to Beijing before New Year's Eve."

Although Shi Fuxin was very happy to see her eldest brother, what she was most worried about at the moment was Ye Mo: "Is it related to Ye Mo that the four chief arrests came to Beijing?"

Chu Yao nodded: "Well, Ye Mo was ordered to persuade the four top masters to submit to the imperial court. After so long, it's time for an explanation."

Shi Fuxin snorted coldly: "How could the supreme master be easily persuaded by Ye Mo? What the emperor wants is not an explanation, but to force Bai Yueguang to show up through Ye Mo." "The emperor wants to suppress Ye Mo and Ye Mo will follow. Will the four chief executives be arrested and brought back to Beijing?"

Chu Yao shook his head: "I don't know about this."

Shi Fuxin said solemnly: "Ye Mo is not in danger, is he?"

Chu Yao was worried that Shi Fuxin would lose her temper and reveal her identity, and quickly said: "It's not that serious. If the emperor is really going for Bai Yueguang, as long as Bai Yueguang doesn't show up, Ye Mo will be fine."

Fuxin agreed with this. After all, Bai Yueguang was a ruthless character who broke into Beiyan Palace and killed Beiyan's two top masters in order to save his master Ye Mo.

Even though the emperor is guarded by two top masters, he is afraid of anything unexpected. He cannot anger a ruthless person just because of Ye Mo.

It was originally thought that the four chief constables would not come to Beijing until close to New Year's Eve. Unexpectedly, two days later, the chief constables from the west and the chief constable from the north returned to Beijing with their men.

The group was in a very embarrassed state, and almost everyone was injured.

After the two chiefs were arrested and entered the palace, it was quickly spread that Ye Mo had angered the two great masters, Beidao and Xizhang, and was now being hunted by the two great masters and their disciples.

The Western Chief Constable and the Northern Chief Constable also said that if they had not separated from Ye Mo during the hunt, they might not have been able to return to the capital safely.

After Shi Fuxin heard the news, her face suddenly turned gloomy.

Ye Mo is being hunted, can his disciple Bai Yueguang not show up?

The words of the two chief arrests not only accused Ye Mo of being unfavorable in persuading Beidao and Xizhang, the two great masters, but also alluded to Ye Mo for intensifying the conflict between the imperial court and Jianghu sects.

Without even asking, Shi Fuxin could guess that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty must be asking for orders to convict Ye Mo.

Even if Ye Mo is rescued in the end, can Bai Yueguang not come forward to negotiate with the emperor for the safety of her master?

"lady!"

An Ran walked in with a smile and carrying a food box: "Madam, I bought the beggar's chicken you ordered me to buy."

Shi Fuxin glanced at the lotus mark on the food box, opened the food box, and with a sweep of her mental power, she found the note hidden in the chicken's belly.

The note was handed over by Luo Qiyun, asking her for the blood-sealing poison!
Although Shi Fuxin didn't understand why Luo Qiyun suddenly wanted poison, but thinking that she was doing her best for herself, she still prepared a copy and gave it to Xiaofang to give to her.

Not long after Xiaofang left, Shi Fuxin frowned and began to think deeply.

Luo Qiyun and Du Danyan have a close relationship. Du Danyan likes Ye Mo. Now that the news of Ye Mo being hunted has spread, Luo Qiyun came to her to ask for poison. Could it be for Ye Mo?
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Fuxin changed her clothes, avoided the surveillance people, and quietly left the palace.

Xiaofang did not send the things directly to Xinglefang, but placed them at a secret spot that had been agreed before. As soon as she put the things down, Xiaofang left immediately.

Xiaofang walked on the front foot, and Shi Fuxin arrived on the back foot. Then she looked at a little beggar and took away something.

Shi Fuxin followed the little beggar and saw the little beggar stopped in front of an old carriage.

It's her, Ye Lanzhi!

Shi Fuxin was a little surprised that the person Luo Qiyun asked her for poison was Ye Lanzhi. Thinking that Ye Mo cared about this sister the most, she hesitated and walked over.

Ye Lanzhi looked at Shi Fuxin who suddenly appeared in surprise, with a bit of embarrassment about being caught on her face.

Shi Fuxin looked at the poison in her hand: "What do you want to do? You should know that your brother cares most about your safety, right?"

Although Ye Lanzhi didn't know the relationship between Ye Mo and Shi Fuxin, Ye Mo once told her that if she encountered a life or death crisis, she should go find the person in front of her.

"Of course I know, but I can't be protected by my brother for the rest of my life, right?"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

When Shi Fuxin heard what Ye Lanzhi said, it was hard to say anything else: "Your brother will be fine."

Ye Lanzhi smiled and nodded: "I believe what you said. My brother lived a miserable life in the first half of his life, and he should be peaceful no matter what he does in the second half of his life."
