I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 157 Search
"Princess, although you are a family member of the imperial court, you are not qualified to search the residences of small people indiscriminately without evidence." Zhou Wu suppressed his smile and said with a gloomy expression.

Qu Lingxu didn't answer Zhou Wu's words, but just cast his eyes on Song Zhiwen calmly, Song Zhiwen understood, and said lightly: "Boss Zhou, someone disappeared in the capital for no reason, but it's a big deal. Now that Fang Bo's whereabouts are unknown, but someone saw him enter your mansion with his own eyes, I have to search carefully and give an explanation to the princess and Fang Bo's family."

Saying this, Song Zhiwen turned his head and glanced at the entourage beside him, who immediately handed a small booklet to Zhou Wu, and said with a faint smile: "Boss Zhou, this is the search warrant from the Jingzhao Yin Mansion. Please also cooperate."

Jing Zhaoyin is in charge of public security in the capital. When necessary, let alone a businessman's private house, even the mansion of a court minister has the right to enter. Of course, that's what he said, but whether to search and how to search is another matter up.

In fact, Zhou Wu knew very well that Qu Lingxu had come prepared, and it was almost impossible to stop the search. The reason why he was going around like this was just to buy more time for Pocky Face so that they could hide him tightly. .

The search warrant has been issued, and if Zhou Wu refuses to forcefully stop it, he will be resisting the court's law enforcement. Thinking this way, he nodded in embarrassment, and was about to turn sideways to let the servants enter the mansion, but he heard a loud noise not far away, and several people turned around. At first glance, a bright yellow sedan chair was slowly approaching.

Qu Lingxu raised her eyebrows slightly. In the whole world, only the emperor, queen and crown prince can ride in a bright yellow sedan chair. The emperor and empress are in the palace, so it is absolutely impossible for her to appear here at this moment. Then sit in this sedan chair. So, it can only be one person...Prince Murong Jing.

But, what is Murong Jing doing here now?Could it be...

Qu Lingxu's thoughts changed, and he had roughly guessed Murong Jing's intention for coming, so he really got a great help by accident.

Before the thoughts in his mind were finished, the person had already come to the front. After the car curtain was lifted, Qu Lingxu and Song Zhiwen looked at each other, and hurried forward to salute, "Greetings to His Royal Highness."

Murong Jing was going to the rich merchants in the capital to collect military rations according to the plan. The person behind Zhou Wu was Li Bin who was close to Murong Li. Seeing Qu Lingxu here, she couldn't help but smiled in surprise and said, "Xinyue, why are you here?"

Hearing Murong Jing's words, Qu Lingxu was blessed again, and sighed with some melancholy: "Returning to His Royal Highness, two months ago, my servant and Rong Sheng's son were wandering in the street and accidentally rescued a young man. Afterwards, he went to the suburbs to treat his patients, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knew about it."

On the way back to Beijing, she and Rong Sheng also encountered Murong Jing's carefully planned assassination, and the subsequent scene of the hero saving the beauty, I believe the other party will never forget it easily.

Sure enough, Murong Jing nodded slightly, "Of course I remember."

Seeing that he didn't mean to interrupt him, Qu Lingxu continued: "After that contact, the court lady felt that Fang Bo was a rare talent to study medicine, so she wanted to keep him by her side as an assistant, after all The courtier is a woman, and it is inconvenient to deal with some illnesses. It would be much more convenient to have him here, so I took her to the other courtyard of the General's Mansion in the capital and settled her down, but..."

Speaking of this, Qu Lingxu's voice couldn't help but choked up a little, "This evening, the court lady asked the maid to send some things to another courtyard, but found that Fang Bo was kidnapped and disappeared, and then followed the clues to find here , I really have no choice but to bother Boss Zhou."

Qu Lingxu said it euphemistically, but Murong Jing understood the meaning. He glanced at Zhou Wu who was standing by the side, and said with a half-smile: "As for Boss Zhou's character, this palace is more or less the same. Some people have heard of it, so it's not possible to do such a thing of corruption and breaking the law, seeking wealth and killing one's life, right?"

No, there are many things that are corrupt and violate the law. In this way, it is not surprising that people seek money and kill their lives.

A Qu Lingxu is already difficult enough to deal with, but Murong Jing popped up suddenly, Zhou Wu only felt that the first and the second were big, if he was given another chance to choose, he would definitely not bring that Fang Bo back. Slow torturing, it would be easier to chop with a single knife.

However, "Thousands of gold are hard to buy, I knew it earlier, ten thousand gold is hard to buy regret medicine", it is too late to say anything now, so I can only bite the bullet and brace myself to deal with it. Thinking like this, Zhou Wu gritted his teeth secretly, and said with an apologetic smile: "Prince What Your Highness said is very true, Xiaomin has always abided by the law and obeyed the law, and never dared to go one step further." He quietly raised his head to glance at Murong Jing, then hurriedly lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "I don't know what your Highness is doing when you come to the humble house in the middle of the night. "

This time, Murong Jing frowned and did not speak, but the entourage beside him reprimanded with some displeasure: "Boss Zhou, you don't mean to let His Highness and the princess stand at the door to talk?"

After being reminded by the attendant, Zhou Wufang came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, and bowed to apologize again and again, "Xiaomin was too excited at the moment, and I was rude to Your Highness, please forgive me." Murong Jing went to the main courtyard to serve tea.

As for Murong Jing's reason for coming, although he couldn't guess it at the moment, he knew that from Li Bin's standpoint, nothing good would happen if the other party came to her, so he winked at the butler when no one was paying attention, The housekeeper understood, quietly hid behind the crowd, left the mansion when no one was looking, and reported to Li Bin.

Not to mention whether Li Bin has the energy to manage Zhou Wu at the moment, even if he did, he didn't dare to confront Murong Jing blatantly. The group entered the main hall, thinking that Murong Jing would finally express his intentions, but he didn't expect him to. Not in a hurry, but asked Song Zhi: "Master Song, it's not too late to find someone. Hurry up, so that the chief of Xinyue County will not be worried all the time."

Just as Qu Lingxu had this intention, he naturally wouldn't be polite to Murong Jing, so he just stood up and blessed him, and said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Crown Prince."

Now that he had Murong Jing's support, Song Zhiwen naturally ordered the soldiers to search everywhere without any hesitation. As for Qu Lingxu and others, they sat in the main hall and waited.

"Master, do you think they can find Mr. Fang?" Yun Xin asked in a worried voice.

What Yun Xin asked was exactly what Qu Lingxu was worried about. Zhou's house is so big that there are many places where people can hide. If the yamen guards do not search carefully, or miss some secret rooms and tunnels, it is very likely that they will find nothing. .

No, she must not allow such a thing to happen!
Seeing that Qu Lingxu was silent, Murong Jing said worriedly, "Xinyue, are you still worried?"

Hearing this, Qu Lingxu raised her 'slightly red and swollen' eye sockets, and gave a forced smile, "To tell you the truth, Your Majesty, I have been reading medical books these days, trying to find out how to treat the empress's heartache. Son, when Fang Bo came to the General's Mansion this afternoon, he mentioned to his courtier that he thought of a feasible solution, but the dosage needs to be considered. If there is anything wrong with him at this time, this prescription..."

Qu Lingxu had already considered the prescription for treating the queen's heartache, but he was just waiting for a suitable opportunity to come up with it. Now he just said it from the beginning, so that Murong Jing will find the prescription for himself with all his heart. Bo's whereabouts.

Sure enough, after hearing Qu Lingxu's explanation, Murong Jing was very moved, and her tone was a little gentler than before, "I didn't expect Xinyue to take your mother's affairs so seriously, which really moved me."

Seeing that Murong Jing believed her own words, Qu Lingxu let go of her tense heart a little, but she replied sincerely: "His Royal Highness, you are welcome, the empress is the mother of the world, and my servants admire you from the bottom of their hearts. I have no choice but to go to the palace to listen to my mother's teachings, so I can only do my best in these trivial matters."

"Xinyue, you are always so humble, which makes me feel ashamed." After saying this with a smile, Murong Jing turned her head and said to her guards: "The Zhou mansion is so big, I see that Mr. Song brought you There are not many yamen servants, so it is inevitable that there will be negligence, so you should help to find them, and search carefully."

In fact, the Zhou mansion is big, but there are not many places where people can hide. The main courtyard is naturally excluded, and the courtyard where Zhou Wu's wife, children and concubines live can also be excluded. There are not many places left. The key is Can you find the hidden room.

Hearing Murong Jing's words, Zhou Wu's already tense expression became even more ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything, and could only allow the guards of the East Palace to leave the main hall.

Although Qu Lingxu had been talking to Murong Jing, but the corner of his eyes never moved away from Zhou Wu's body. Seeing that although he was pretending to be calm, he was sitting on pins and needles, and he became more and more sure that Fang Bo was in Zhou's mansion.

We must find him as soon as possible, otherwise after tonight, Fang Bo will be in trouble.

Waiting like this is not enough, she must take the initiative to attack, not to mention, with Murong Jing as a powerful assist by her side, wouldn't it be a pity if she didn't make good use of it?
After making up his mind, Qu Lingxu turned his gaze to Murong Jing again, and said in a pleading voice, "His Royal Highness, I have a merciless request from my servant, I wonder if Your Highness can agree to it?"

Qu Lingxu had always given Murong Jing the impression that he was stubborn and independent. He had known him for so long, and the other party had never asked him anything. Naturally, he couldn't refuse, so he nodded without thinking, "Why does Xinyue do this?" You are as polite as you are, if you have something to say, just say it, as long as it is what I can do, I will definitely not refuse."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Qu Lingxu thanked Murong Jing gratefully, and then glanced at Zhou Wu, who was restless, before continuing: "I want to meet...a servant of the Zhou Mansion."
