Escape after crossing

With Wu Shijie around, Jiang Ziluo wanted to find out something, but because he was afraid it would be inconvenient, he sent him away. He thought it would take some time to find out, but it turned out to be so simple.

After Wu Shijie left, Jiang Ziluo asked Xuan Yi to look around and check the defenses, while she went to find the people who were boiling the medicine.

The people who boiled the medicine were three doctors from Kyoto Baicaotang, Dr. Lin Bai, Dr. Liang Wenshan, and Dr. Ye Peng. The three of them were responsible for preparing the herbs, preparing the medicine, boiling the medicine, and dividing the medicine.

When Jiang Ziluo came over, the three doctors were busy and talking at the same time.

"Lin Bai, do you think the Ninth Prince can get better?" Ye Peng asked while sorting the medicinal herbs.

The person who grabbed the herbs and was about to boil the medicine said, "I don't know. We have been here for so long, have you seen anyone cured? Even the mild cases are slowly getting worse."

"You two should stop saying such things. If you are going to say something, you should keep it to yourself. These people already feel hopeless and have all sorts of concerns in their minds all day long, and you two are still saying such things."

"Wenshan, aren't you just talking? And no one is coming here. It's okay." Ye Peng said indifferently.

"Three doctors, are you from Baicaotang?" Jiang Ziluo asked tentatively.

The three looked at Jiang Ziluo and saw that it was the person who had just spoken to the three imperial doctors. Liang Wenshan said, "Doctor Hu, what's the matter?"

"Oh, nothing. I heard that you are from Baicaotang, so I came over to confirm."

"We are indeed from Baicaotang. I wonder what Doctor Hu wants?" Liang Wenshan continued.

Seeing that they were on guard against him, Jiang Ziluo knew that he wouldn't get anything out of them even if he asked now, so he gave up the idea.

"Nothing, I just didn't have time to say hello. Also, this is a mask, it's much better than what you're using now."

Jiang Ziluo took out a mask and handed it over. But the three looked at each other, then looked at the one Jiang Ziluo was wearing, smiled and accepted it and thanked him.

The three of them waited until Jiang Ziluo left before putting on their masks. "Wenshan, Doctor Hu is a little young. Can he really cure this plague?" Lin Bai asked.

"Even the master can't predict it, I'm afraid it's hopeless!" Ye Peng interjected.

"Master said that we should not underestimate anyone. We just need to do what we should do," said Liang Wenshan.

Lin Bai and Ye Peng looked at each other, and two words were revealed in their eyes: "boring".

Jiang Ziluo left the place where the three of them were, looked around, and waited for Xuanyi to come back. Xuanyi also returned to Jiang Ziluo's side very quickly.

He just nodded to Jiang Ziluo without saying anything. After they walked for a while and there was no one around, they rode slowly and talked.

"Sir, I just looked around. There are people guarding the four exits of the two villages. The security is quite strict."

"Yeah, it's just a little weird."

"What's strange?"

"The pulses of these villagers are somewhat different from those of the Ninth Prince, but they are not poisoned. They are somewhat contagious, but they are not plague. And the well was filled too soon. And who would drug so many people and choose such a faraway place?"

"Could it be that someone from these two villages has offended some important person? That doesn't make sense. Even if someone has been offended, it's not possible to harm people from two villages at once?"

"Xuan Yi, you still have to investigate these two villages, and you can't let anyone else know."

"Master, don't worry, I'll take care of it. Let's go back to Jiangdu City first."

"it is good."

The two of them rode at full speed into Jiangdu City, and Xuanyi took Jiang Ziluo directly to Huajianfu Restaurant.

When it came to Hua Jian Fu, Jiang Ziluo remembered an important matter and hurriedly pulled Xuan Yi to ask, "Xuan Yi, what day is it today?"

Xuan Yi calculated and said, "Sir, today is the ninth day of the first lunar month."

"Oh, I see. Let's find a private room and eat first."

It was already past the busiest time of noon, but there were still a few tables of guests in the hall and the shopkeeper was busy at the counter.

Seeing Xuan Yi coming in, he quickly put down the work in his hands. "Sir, please go upstairs."

"Well, is he leaving?"

"No, in the private room upstairs."

Xuanyi took Jiang Ziluo and Zhang the shopkeeper upstairs. Jiang Ziluo didn't know who Xuanyi was talking about?

But she knew not to ask questions that she shouldn't. At this time, Jiang Ziluo was particularly well-behaved and didn't look like he could stand on his own at all.

After entering the private room, Jiang Ziluo followed Xuan Yi obediently. When Xuan Yi entered the room, he saw Master Leng standing at the window with his back to the door.

Xuan Yi stepped forward respectfully, bowed and saluted, "Sir, this is Miss Jiang."

Jiang Ziluo was stunned. The prince? Jiang Ziluo looked at Xuan Yi in disbelief, thinking to himself, "Isn't this guy a bit unkind? He came to see his master without even telling him in advance?"

(Did they forget? It was you who didn’t want them to follow you. It was you who wanted them to leave. It was right not to tell you.)

The person who was so well-behaved just now rolled her eyes at Xuan Yi, forced herself to calm down, and turned away.

He smiled and said to the figure behind him, "Prince Leng, when did you arrive in Jiangdu City?"

Jiang Ziluo was very angry at the moment, but he felt that he was doing pretty good to be able to talk with a smile.

Shopkeeper Zhang didn't know who Jiang Ziluo was, but seeing Jiang Ziluo being so disrespectful, he was worried for him.

Xuanyi winked at Shopkeeper Zhang, who left tactfully. Xuanyi was just frightened by Jiang Ziluo's rolling eyes.

Only then did he realize that he had not told Jiang Ziluo that he was coming to see the Prince.

"Well, young lady, the prince just entered Jiangdu City yesterday. Don't be angry, young lady. I was so happy just now that I forgot to tell you that the prince was coming."

"Haha, I understand. After all, I haven't seen your master for so long." Jiang Ziluo said with gritted teeth.

None of these Leng Shizi saw it. He kept looking out the window. I don't know what he was looking at. After a while, he turned around.

Jiang Ziluo saw a man wearing a mask. He was quite tall and the mask covered half of his face, so his appearance could not be seen.

"Miss Jiang, please sit down." said a very magnetic but somewhat cold voice.

"Your Majesty, please."

In Jiang Ziluo's opinion, they are in a cooperative relationship, and he is the crown prince, so there is no need for her to be so humble.

"Miss Jiang, what did you gain today?"

Jiang Ziluo did not hide it. Xuan Yi just said that Master Leng came yesterday, probably because of the Ninth Prince and the plague.

First, there was the transformation of the three imperial doctors, then the well, then the change in Captain Wu, and finally the people in the two villages.

Leng Chenming listened carefully without interrupting. After Jiang Ziluo finished speaking, Leng Chenming asked a question.

"Can it be cured?"

"can."

"So what are you going to do? Cure it right away?"

"I want to hear the prince's opinions and plans."

Leng Chenming told Jiang Ziluo what he heard last night about Wu Shijie and his brothers planning to plot against Jiang Ziluo, and Jiang Ziluo laughed after hearing it.

Xuan Yi said, "Girl, why are you still laughing? We originally planned to investigate secretly without revealing our identities, but we didn't expect to fall into the trap set by others."

"Haha, we still don't know who is in the net! Did the prince see Wu Shiyong take out the antidote last night?"

"No, but there is a secret compartment behind the painting in the study."

"This morning Xuanyi told me not to prescribe medicine. Was this also what the prince told me?"

"Yes."

"Does the prince have any good ideas?"

"No, I didn't want you to rush to prescribe the medicine. I wanted to delay it for a while so that I could investigate some things."

"That means we can't alert the enemy now. It won't be fun anymore."

"Miss Jiang, how do you want to play? Why don't you tell me?"

"Nothing, I'm hungry. Xuanyi, go get some hot food." Jiang Ziluo had completely forgotten that he didn't want Xuanyi to follow him, and this would wake Xuanyi up.
