First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Su Jixiang used great patience and it took him almost an hour to get Wei Ling to swallow the entire bowl of medicine.

Wei Ling had no consciousness, and Su Jixiang did not dare to feed him too fast for fear of choking him. After feeding him the medicine, Su Jixiang felt that his waist could hardly move, and his shoulders and neck were extremely sore.

Xie Yingfeng was brought over by Wei Zhong and called her outside the door.

Su Jixiang then hurried to open the door.

"How is it?" Xie Yingfeng looked towards the bed as soon as he entered the room.

"Doctor Zhou said he is better than yesterday, but still unconscious," said Su Jixiang.

"Better? That means he won't die?" Xie Yingfeng's eyes lit up.

"That should be it." Su Jixiang was not sure, but since Zhou Ziqi did not mention that Wei Ling had a narrow escape from death, and only said that he was very weak, he should not be able to die...

"I knew this guy is a cockroach. It's good that he's not dead!" Xie Yingfeng hit his palm with his fist.

Su Jixiang...

Xie Yingfeng looked outside the door, then lowered his voice and whispered to Su Jixiang, "Madam Wei, I won't hide anything from you anymore. When I came here to ask about Ziyuan's whereabouts, you told me that he was helping you hunt fox skins. So no matter who asks about it in the future, you need to say the same thing and kill them with one blow!"

"I understand." Su Jixiang nodded.

"I will try to get a white fox here." Xie Yingfeng said to Su Jixiang, "I will also tell the people in the barracks that the general was seriously injured because he missed a step and fell off a cliff while hunting foxes. After a long time, the army cannot do without news about the general! You understand!"

"I understand, but there's no need to look for the white fox. I already have the white fox." Su Jixiang said with a blink of his eyes.

"You have it?" Xie Yingfeng looked at Su Jixiang in surprise, "Where did you get it? Did you buy it?"

"It's alive. We caught it in the mountains and now we're keeping it in the backyard." Su Jixiang said. She told Xie Yingfeng about her hunting trip into the mountains a few days ago, how she discovered the burial place of the Wei family, and how she picked up Wei Ling.

Thanks Yingfeng...

"Okay, okay, okay!" After being stunned for a moment, Xie Yingfeng could not help but silently give Su Jixiang a thumbs up in his heart.

"You said you asked hunters in the mountains for help?" Xie Yingfeng asked. "Can you tell me which one it was?"

"What do you want to do?" Su Jixiang looked at Xie Yingfeng with some vigilance.

Xie Yingfeng then smiled, "Madam, don't worry. Although I'm not a good person, I'm not so cruel as to kill people to silence them. I'm just taking precautions in advance."

Su Jixiang looked at Xie Yingfeng, then hesitated for a moment, and finally told the story of Mo Dashan and his son from Kaoshan Village.

"Okay. I'll go do something." Xie Yingfeng said. "Mo Dashan and his son can't stay in Kaoshantun anymore. You gave them so much money, anyone who wants to investigate will definitely find out. I'm going to make them move out of Kaoshantun. Don't worry, I'm not going to silence them. I guarantee it with my reputation."

Su Jixiang nodded.

"Oh, by the way. Can I take the white fox away?" Xie Yingfeng asked.

"Sure. But can we not kill it?" Su Jixiang said, "I don't need a cloak. The clothes I have now are enough. It would be a pity to kill the white fox. I want to keep it."

"That's fine. I'm just using this thing to silence people." Xie Yingfeng said, "There must be something that can make the general fall so badly."

This fox is not dead, so it is easier to talk to.

All you need to tell everyone is that Wei Ling was trying to catch a live fox, so he couldn't see the snow clearly and stepped on empty air, and fell down the mountain. Now that there is a fox, the lie can be covered up.

Xie Yingfeng came in a hurry and left in a hurry, taking away the white fox that Su Jixiang kept in the backyard, saying only that he would borrow it for two days and would return it after two days.

The fox's leg was still injured, and he would take it to the military veterinarian for treatment.

There are tens of thousands of war horses in the army, so naturally there must be a veterinarian accompanying them. Asking a veterinarian to help treat the fox just happened to be in line with what was said before, and it would also allow everyone to see Wei Ling's spoils of war.

In this way, there will be no dispute about the whereabouts of Wei Ling.

Xie Yingfeng had thought about waiting for Wei Ling to wake up before going to the military camp to silence the gossips.

But now it seems that Wei Ling will not be able to wake up for a while. Even if he wakes up, he cannot go to the military camp in this state. It is better to tell everyone about Wei Ling's injury to avoid some people asking about it all the time.

And with the white fox around, this matter makes sense and there are no loopholes or flaws.

In their spare time, soldiers like to go hunting in the mountains, and some people get injured. Someone once broke his arm. If they affect their combat effectiveness during the war, they will be beaten with a military stick. However, it is almost the end of the year, and the Turks have not taken any action for the time being. Therefore, although Wei Ling delayed his return to the camp, there is always a reason and etiquette. Even if he is punished, it can be considered as an explanation.

The reason why Xie Yingfeng wanted to spread the news about Wei Ling so quickly was because he received secret news from the capital. The news of Emperor Jing's death was sent back to the capital by the remaining Jinwu Guards at an express speed of 800 miles. Emperor Longchang was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of who killed Emperor Jing and that the person must be caught alive and brought to the capital for personal interrogation by Emperor Longchang.

Normally, it was just the death of a deposed emperor, so there was no need for Emperor Longchang to mobilize such a large force. Although the deposed emperor was assassinated just after the imperial edict to pardon him arrived, this incident was a slap in the face of Emperor Longchang, but there was no need to catch the murderer alive. Killing him would also ease his hatred.

The mystery lies in catching them alive!

So Xie Yingfeng guessed that Emperor Jing might have made some agreement with Emperor Longchang, and the content of this agreement was unknown to outsiders. Otherwise, how could Emperor Longchang spare Emperor Jing's life? He already had wolves in front and tigers behind, so there was no need to leave another hidden danger in the capital.

Emperor Jing was incompetent and had lost the support of the people. He was the orthodox of Daxie after all! Emperor Longchang was a vassal king who came to Beijing to claim the throne. Although he had already sat in that position, how many officials in the capital really obeyed him? If he was used by someone with ulterior motives, Emperor Jing would not die, but would be a thorn in the heart of Emperor Longchang in the capital.

So even if there was an agreement or some other deal between Emperor Longchang and Emperor Jing, after the deal was completed, Emperor Longchang would still kill Emperor Jing! Although the assassin was slapped in the face, he eliminated a hidden danger for Emperor Longchang. There was no need for Emperor Longchang to be so angry.

Unless Emperor Jing has some secret to tell Emperor Longchang, and this secret involves huge implications!
