After marrying wrongly, I became the general's white moonlight

Chapter 375
Two days had passed since talking with Pei Mo, and Guo Kang was about to throw this ridiculous matter out of the blue.

I never thought that this Pei Mo would be stubborn, determined to investigate the matter of the emperor's illness to the bottom of the sky!
"You, go and explain to the guards guarding the palace gate today, let them strictly inspect the convoy delivering medicine, and don't allow anyone to sneak into the palace opportunistically."

Guo Kang was wearing the black armor of the imperial army, and he took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to his subordinates.

"Yes, little one, let's go."

The subordinate took the token, and honestly carried out the task according to the commander's words.

Watching his subordinates leave, Guo Kang couldn't help but have a headache. What was he worried about? Could it be possible that Pei Mo would send someone to sneak into the palace to investigate the case?
Forget it, Guo Kang shook his head, it's always right to be more cautious.

Now that the relevant imperial physician is in charge of the imperial medical bureau, the emperor's health is gradually improving, and he really obeyed the imperial physician Guan's words. Although the emperor still coughed up blood from time to time after recovering from his illness, his complexion was obviously much better than when he first fell ill. .

Nowadays, the frequency of coughing up blood is less and less, and Imperial Physician Guan no longer needs to give acupuncture, and the emperor only needs to drink some tonic.

And today was the day when the south paid tribute to medicinal materials, and many eunuchs in the palace went to help unload the goods. Guo Kang calculated the time and estimated that the delivery team had already arrived at the gate of the palace.

But his duty is to patrol the palace and ensure the safety of the palace.

When he led a patrol to the gate of the palace, he saw that the delivery horse team was leaving in an orderly manner, and the strong wind sent the sound of horseshoes far away.

Guo Kang found the subordinate guarding the palace gate and asked, "Did you find anything unusual during the inspection?"

"Reporting to the commander, everything is normal, and nothing unusual was found."

Hearing this, Guo Kang himself did not realize that he was unexpectedly relieved.

"Okay, you go back to the team and go on a routine patrol."

The sunlight moves from the wall of the palace to the bluestone slab, and then gradually recedes from the bluestone slab. It is approaching dusk. The afterglow of the sun reflects on the glazed tiles, showing a resplendent and magnificent appearance, which makes people yearn for it.

Is this where power coalesces?What will the people inside be like?
The master in the palace will say, it's great, rich clothes and good food, and the wealth of the sky.

The slaves in the palace would say, it's terrible, morning and night, strict discipline.

At this time, a young eunuch was in the kitchen, under the watchful eye of the imperial guards, boiling medicine for the emperor to heal his illness.

"Grumbling--"

The medicine was boiling and rolling in the crock, the kitchen was filled with mist, and the breath was filled with the bitterness of various medicines. The eunuch lifted the lid to see, "The medicine is ready."

Speaking of which, the eunuch picked up the crock and was about to pour it into the prepared bowl.

But the forbidden army stopped him, "Wait!"

The eunuch was taken aback for a moment, and froze while holding the earthen jar, "What's wrong with the official?"

The guards picked up the emperor's bowl of medicine, inspected it carefully, and wiped the edge of the bowl with their fingers. After confirming that there was nothing unusual in the bowl, they said, "Okay, pour it."

The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."

It is not his responsibility to pour the medicine and deliver the medicine to the emperor, the eunuch murmured in his heart, he didn't know why the imperial guards went crazy, the inspections in the past few days have been extraordinarily strict, making people in the palace panic, especially miserable They are servants who work in the imperial kitchen.

After the medicine was ready, it was time to prepare dinner for the emperor in a hurry, and the imperial army started to check this and that again, which delayed their cooking and added invisible pressure to them.

I'm so bored!
Guo Kang heard his subordinates report that everything was normal today, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but God seemed to be against him, so he didn't want to let him feel at ease.

At nightfall, the Imperial Army and the Imperial Forest Army changed shifts, and Guo Kang, who had been busy all day, was about to leave the palace and return to his residence.

Because he was worried, before he left, he turned his head and walked around the palace, and this walk really made him discover something.

Guo Kang has good eyesight, and he can see things clearly at night even without carrying a lantern. When he was about to approach the kitchen, he heard a faint rustling sound, which didn't sound like an animal crawling, but rather like a person doing something secretly.

Guo Kang held his breath and approached the kitchen quietly, only to see a small gap in the door of the kitchen, through the gap, he saw a little eunuch inside putting something into the earthen pot!
crock?

Guo Kang subconsciously thought of the earthen jar used to boil medicine for the emperor.

With a jolt, he broke into the door with a bang, "Who are you and what are you doing?"

Recognizing that it was the commander of the Imperial Army, the little eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy, "Ah, commander, please spare me!"

Guo Kang drew out the knife and put it on the eunuch's neck, "Say, what are you doing? What are you stuffing the emperor's medicine pot with?"

The little eunuch shook his head again and again, "No, how dare I stuff things, I just took out the dregs of the medicine in the jar, the commander clearly inspected, I dare not do such a crime!"

Hearing this, Guo Kang took out the fire pocket and blew on it, and a faint flame ignited in the room. After the fire, he saw a piece of paper on the ground, which was covered with black medicine residue, and the earthen pot had been taken out by the eunuch. It's clean.

After a false alarm, Guo Kang withdrew the gleaming knife, looked carefully at the eunuch's face, and recognized that it was a servant in charge of cleaning pots and pans, and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you clean up the medicine residue during the day, why do you want to be in the eunuch?" Sneaking around in the dead of night."

The little eunuch faltered, his eyes dodged, "My lord, please calm down. The little one was so busy during the day that he forgot the jar of medicine for the emperor. He still has to boil medicine for the emperor tomorrow morning. The little one was afraid of being punished, so he had to get up secretly." The medicine jar was cleaned up, but unexpectedly, it was caught by the Commander, please forgive the little one this time, the Commander will never dare again."

Guo Kang was dubious, but let go of his guard. He knelt down and picked up the paper wrapped with medicine dregs on the ground, while observing the expression on the eunuch's face, but the eunuch lowered his head, looking remorseful.

He withdrew his gaze, crushed the black medicine dregs, found nothing unusual, and was about to let the eunuch go, but was attracted by the paper wrapped with the medicine dregs.

He widened his eyes and yelled, "Presumptuous, you dare to deceive this commander, you are so brave!"

The eunuch's body trembled, and he knelt on the ground trembling again.

"This paper is used for writing. You are a slave, where did you get such good paper, tell me!"

The eunuch closed his eyes and told the truth as if he were dead.

"Yes... I was sent by General Pei."

Guo Kang was startled, it was Pei Mo again!

"What did he send you for?"

"General Pei didn't say anything, but just ordered the young man to leave the medicine dregs that the emperor drank every day, wrap it in paper and send it to the dog hole in the palace wall of the hut..."

Pei Mo here still doesn't know that his foolproof plan was discovered by Guo Kang!
