Drunk Bamboo

Xie Yuzhu took the things left by Manager Zhao's husband and left Yungui Pharmacy with Zhang Xinghe.

This time Zhang Xinghe did not resist getting on the carriage.

"Master Zhang was still young at the time, why did he suspect that there was something wrong with the plague?"

"Because my father was the only one in the family who had the plague. Normally, we would eat and drink together, but at that time, he was the only one who came to the palace."

Zhang Xinghe still sat far away, his eyelids slightly drooping, "Also, after Gao Fengyu developed the prescription, among the few people who tried it, only my father did not respond to the medicine and passed away in the end."

Xie Yuzhu nodded.

Zhang Xinghe has been smart since he was young.

"As Shopkeeper Zhao said, the cause of the disease is strange, and the prescription is also strange, so Lord Zhang has persisted for ten years with these. Is the rift between the prince and Lord Zhang due to this?"

Zhang Xinghe did not deny, "There is this reason."

She chuckled, "Master Zhang has a lot of secrets in his heart."

She had no interest in exploring Zhang Xinghe's secrets. Now that he had a good relationship with Hua Qinfeng, she didn't ask too much.

"What if the princess has the medical records and prescriptions? Even if it can be proved that the plague was poisoned, who poisoned it? How was it poisoned? What was the purpose? Is Your Majesty willing to bring up the past again? Has the princess ever thought about this?"

Zhang Xinghe raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yuzhu.

In fact, he was surprised.

I also admire her determination and courage.

"I have thought about it." Xie Yuzhu smiled calmly and exchanged glances with Zhang Xinghe. "Has Lord Zhang never thought about it? Has Yunling never thought about it? But you have persisted for ten years. Why did you fight alone for ten years?"

Zhang Xinghe did not answer her question.

Xie Yuzhu continued, "Now that we know that the plague is problematic, and with so many people working together, we are clearly getting closer and closer to the truth. Why do we have to think so much and stop moving forward?"

"The victims include the prince's mother, Lord Zhang's father, Yunling's family, and millions of ordinary people."

She said, "Master Zhang, let's work together."

Zhang Xinghe's eyes were heavy and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking.

But Xie Yuzhu's eyes were clear and firm.

Zhang Xinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "The prince will know about this sooner or later."

"I will tell him once I find the evidence and the mastermind." Xie Yuzhu raised her face, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, "I don't know who in the palace is involved, I don't want him to get hurt again."

He lowered his eyes again and looked at Zhang Xinghe, "I think Master Zhang thinks the same."

Zhang Xinghe went to the battlefield, served as the emperor's bodyguard, and took a position in the Ministry of Justice. His ultimate goal was to investigate the plague of that year.

Hua Qinfeng was right. The Western Frontier Military Advisor was just a stepping stone, just to gain the emperor's trust, to walk into the palace openly and to review all the files with legitimate reasons.

Ten years and almost nothing.

But Xie Yuzhu brought him a little light at this moment.

Zhang Xinghe had no reason to refuse, "What can I do for the princess?"

Xie Yuzhu said: "I want to see Ginkgo."

Zhang Xinghe: "Princess, wait for my news."

Xie Yuzhu responded.

As the carriage approached the Ministry of Justice, Zhang Xinghe spoke up:

"Just stop here. I'll just walk back to the Ministry of Justice."

Before he got off the car, Xie Yuzhu said, "If you have any business in the future, go to Yungui Pharmacy. In two days, Manager Zhao will open a pharmacy in the east of the city, not far from the Ministry of Justice."

Zhang Xinghe nodded and got off the carriage.

Not far away, a patrol soldier who happened to be patrolling here saw the carriage of Prince Feng's palace and recognized it at a glance.

"Isn't this the princess? Why is a man getting out of her carriage?"

Shi Qianjin took a look and said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense. You can't make up stories about the princess!"

"I am just stating the facts, nothing else."

Shi Qianjin believed in Xie Yuzhu and said with a dark face: "No one is allowed to talk nonsense, especially in front of the prince."

"Yes!"

……

Changfengyuan at night.

After a busy day, Xie Yuzhu and Hua Qinfeng were lying in bed to rest.

Hua Qinfeng was surprised and asked, "The owner of Yungui Medicine Store is Yunling's godmother?"

"I just recognized her as my godmother. It turns out that Yun Ling's father used to be the accountant of Yun's medicine shop. After Yun Ling entered the palace, they lost contact. Unexpectedly, when Yun Gui's medicine shop got into trouble last time, Shopkeeper Zhao recognized Yun Ling when he saw her, so he recognized her as his relative."

“Fortunately, Yun Gui’s medicine shop was saved at that time, otherwise Yun Ling’s family would not be able to see it.”

Xie Yuzhu sighed: "Yes, it is destined."

"Today I met with Xun Shurui and asked him to be more careful when patrolling the palace and find out where the Lin Hai Xue Lian is hidden. There should be news soon." Hua Qinfeng talked about the affairs of the court and asked another question, "Secret guards report, you withdrew them today, why?"

Xie Yuzhu made up an excuse, "I went to Yungui Pharmacy with Yunling. Yunling was not ready to tell the people in the mansion, so I didn't ask the secret guards to follow."

Hua Qinfeng naturally believed everything she said without any doubt.

"Even if she recognizes her relationship with us, she is still a member of our Fengwang Mansion. What does she have to be afraid of? We should be afraid that she will leave and go back to live with her family."

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "I asked her, and she said she was willing to stay."

"It's all good news. Everything has been going well for the Imperial Guards recently." Hua Qinfeng thought of something and said, "I have something to tell you. My father was very angry when he learned that the banditry in Canglan County had been reported for many years but no one cared. He decided to find someone to patrol the south for him and rectify corrupt officials."

Xie Yuzhu closed her eyes and said in a faint voice, "There will be no peace in the court from now on."

"I don't care who wants to go on the southern tour. I just want to find Lin Hai Xue Lian. No matter if it was Gao Yin or the Imperial Concubine who made the poison, I need to catch them and stop them from harming anyone else."

Only Hua Qinfeng did not take this matter seriously.

I guess the Crown Prince and King Wen had sleepless nights fighting for the person to be selected for the southern tour.

"Well, Your Highness is a man who gets things done." Xie Yuzhu turned over and took his hand, praising him generously.

"Just do what you like, I know what to do." He gently ruffled her long hair and said lovingly.

"I've been studying the Piranha Plant recently. Once I find the Snow Lotus of the Sea of ​​Linhai, I'll study it. It's really busy." Xie Yuzhu laid the groundwork first.

"Don't you want to see the maple leaves in the eastern suburbs? Let's go see them the day after tomorrow, shall we?"

Hua Qinfeng always kept her words in mind.

The corners of his mouth rose, "Okay, we'll go see it the day after tomorrow."

……

On the other side, Yun Ling returned to her room and saw Chaoyang standing in the darkness.

"Chaoyang?" Yun Ling approached and asked, "Why do you want to talk to me so late at night?"

Chaoyang's voice was deep, "I was waiting for you specially. I have something to tell you."

Yun Ling nodded, "Yeah."

He raised his eyes, as if he was enduring something, and his attitude was sincere.

"Yunling, there are some things that you don't have to keep in your heart. You can tell me. If you tell me, I will listen. If you don't tell me, I won't force you. I just hope you don't bear it alone and cry alone. It hurts my heart."

Yun Ling lowered her head and bit her lip, "I..."

Chaoyang didn't want to embarrass her, so he softened his voice and said, "I'm fine, don't bite yourself. Have a good rest, I'm leaving first."

"Don't go..." Yun Ling grabbed his hand, her eyes moving, "I want to talk to you, okay?"
