The newlyweds were replaced with new wives, and the medical concubine entered the palace and killed
Chapter 114: Drug Enforcement Fox
"Babawo, are you stupid?" (Kill me!)
Yun Hao pleaded.
The expression on Long Shang's face was very cold, but his hands under his sleeves were already clenched white.
Yun Hao has followed him since he was very young, and he taught him martial arts personally. He said that he was his bodyguard, but he was just like his own brother. How could he watch him die?
Long Shang let out a long sigh and said unhappily, "What discouraging words are you talking about? Even if others can't cure you, there is still your princess. I will write to the princess and ask her if she has any solution."
After hearing this, Yun Hao felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Yes, his princess is so powerful that she even cured the poison that the prince had. She will definitely be able to save him.
When Tang Minghan heard Long Shang talking about his niece, he also remembered his father's letter saying that his legs were healed and he could walk freely now. Maybe his daughter Yue could really do it.
When the military doctor heard that he was going to ask Princess Jing, although he didn't know Gu Lingyue's reputation in the capital, he thought that Princess Jing was so young and didn't know much, so he suggested: "General, if possible, it would be better to report to the court and ask the emperor to send an imperial physician."
"You know what? The old general's legs are..."
"Okay, let's report to the court and ask the emperor to send a few imperial physicians over." Long Shang made the final decision.
He didn't want his Yue'er to suffer, even if it was for curing an illness or saving a life. He should ask the emperor to send a few more imperial doctors.
At this time, soldiers outside came to report that the soldiers returning to the city, including the deputy general General Zhao, had the same situation as the soldiers who were bitten to death outside. They bit anyone they caught and had lost their minds.
"Your Highness, this..." Tang Minghan looked at Long Shang.
"Seal their acupuncture points first, then tie them up with ropes. I will go write a letter to Yue'er now." Long Shang said and left.
The soldier was still stunned. Tang Minghan said angrily, "Why don't you go and do what the prince says?"
"Yes."
And at this time in the capital.
The secret guards have sent news that clues have been found in the mass grave west of the city.
The three Tang brothers, Chang Jinnuo, and Liu Fuyin, along with Gu Lingyue and Tang Zhenhong, arrived there at the same time.
At this time, a number of people had gathered there. Some were sighing, some were crying, and under their feet were empty graves. They were even unaware of the stench of corpses in the air.
"Oh my! My child's father... Even after you die, you won't be able to rest in peace..."
"It was that bastard who even stole the corpse. Such a beast deserves divine punishment."
"Son! Where is my son? He was buried here, how come everything is gone?"
……
Everyone was noisy and had a sad look on their faces.
The death of their loved ones was sad enough for them, and now even their bodies were missing. How could they accept this?
"Look! Is that the official?"
"Yes, that's Lord Liu."
Liu Fuyin has a good reputation among the people in the capital and is a good official trusted by the people.
"Master Liu, you must make the decision for us, right?"
All the villagers knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Fuyin, and their sad cries echoed in the mass grave.
Liu Fuyin looked at everyone and said seriously, "Everyone, rest assured. We will definitely investigate this case thoroughly and give you an explanation. Please be patient."
After he finished speaking, he saw that the crime scene was damaged by the crowds, so he quickly said, "Please leave here for now. Too many people will destroy the crime scene."
Because Liu Fuyin was a good official, everyone trusted him. After he said this, everyone spontaneously left the mass grave.
Liu Fuyin brought people, including Gu Lingyue and others, to investigate.
There was little rain in Tianqi this year, and there was no rain in the capital during this period, so there were still deep and shallow footprints left around.
Everyone followed the footprints all the way, and finally the footprints disappeared at the entrance of a cave on the mountain.
When Tang Wenqi and his companions were about to go in, they were stopped by Gu Lingyue.
She took out a few handkerchiefs from the space under the cover of her sleeves and whispered, "Use this to cover your mouth."
Although she didn't know what was going on inside, it was better to be prepared.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, surprised at how thoughtful Gu Lingyue was in preparing so many handkerchiefs in advance.
Gu Lingyue didn’t know what everyone was thinking, and even if she knew, she could only curl her lips.
She couldn't tell everyone that these were all my dowry, placed in my space, and were not the result of my foresight at all.
Everyone took the handkerchief, covered their mouths with it, and tied the two ends behind their heads before walking towards the cave.
The cave was dark and damp, with a rotten smell in the air, and many bats were hanging upside down on the ceiling.
As soon as they entered, the bats were startled and flew around, some even pounced on the crowd.
Tang Wenqi and his brothers quickly protected Gu Lingyue in the middle and continued to move forward.
At this time, the smell became stronger and stronger, and it was mixed with a fishy smell.
The weather was hot to begin with, and the cave had no ventilation, which made it difficult for everyone to breathe. Fortunately, they covered their mouths with handkerchiefs to block out some of the smell.
Everyone knew that they had not made any mistakes, so they quickened their pace.
When they entered the cave, they found that there was no corpse inside, only some rags of clothes worn by the dead, and some bloodstains.
Everyone searched carefully again, but found nothing useful.
There was no way out. The cave smelled so bad that everyone had to leave the cave first. But when they came out, Gu Lingyue took out a sealed bag and a cotton swab from the space while everyone was not paying attention. She quickly dipped some blood with a cotton swab and put it into the sealed bag. Then she used the cotton swab to pick up a piece of rag and put it into the sealed bag. Only then did they leave the cave.
As soon as he came out, Tang Wenle said angrily: "We are too late, those bastards ran away!"
Tang Zhenhong had been fighting for years, and he couldn't help but exude a murderous aura. "You bastard, if I find out who took those bodies, I'll definitely tear his head off."
"Sir Liu, where do you think they could hide those bodies?" Chang Jinnuo looked at Prefect Liu.
Liu Fuyin pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say for now. However, they went to such great lengths to steal those corpses, weren't they planning to use them against us?
But why did they strip the clothes off the corpses? You can't be expecting them to attack us naked, right? "
"Yeah, why did they take off the clothes of these dead people?" Tang Wenqi asked.
Gu Lingyue thought for a moment and said, "The clothes worn by the dead are all shrouds. If those people were allowed to go out, others would be able to recognize them at a glance.
So, they probably took off the clothes that the dead people were wearing because they were inconvenient."
"Inconvenient?" Tang Wenle looked confused. "Where is it inconvenient to go?"
Yun Shu rolled his eyes at him. "If a dead person can suddenly walk, where would you go?"
Tang Wenle thought for a moment and nodded seriously, "It's indeed inconvenient to go anywhere."
Tang Zhenhong shook his head helplessly. His grandson was usually quite smart, but he became confused at the critical moment.
He turned his head to look at Chang Jinnuo and asked, "What does Prince Jin think?"
Chang Jinnuo narrowed his eyes slightly, "I was thinking that since the people from Western Shu have come to the capital, they must be targeting the current emperor."
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Chang Jinnuo.
"So they are in the city now?" Tang Wenqi said.
Liu Fuyin said: "That explains why they took off the clothes of those corpses.
It would be difficult to enter the city wearing the clothes of the dead, so they changed the clothes of the dead."
"Then what are we waiting for..." Tang Wenle said, "Let's go back to the city now."
Back in the city, everyone divided the work and cooperated with each other.
Liu Fuyin and others were responsible for investigating the hiding place of the body. Tang Zhenhong went to the palace to report to Emperor Tianqi. After Gu Lingyue returned home and told others not to disturb her, she entered the space and began to study the blood swabs and rags she brought back.
After tinkering with it for a day and a night, she didn't find anything on the rag, but she did find poison in the blood on the blood swab. However, it was not corpse poison, but a kind of poison that could make people lose their minds. She didn't know who the poison was for, but she still developed an antidote.
Just in case, Gu Lingyue also developed some corpse-dissolving water.
In a blink of an eye, it was the Empress Dowager's birthday, and the atmosphere in the capital was particularly tense.
The weather, which hadn't rained for more than a month, turned gloomy today.
At this time, Liu Fuyin and others had not yet found where the body was hidden.
Liu Fuyin was extremely anxious. After all, if something was going to happen, tonight would be the best opportunity.
As the prefect of the capital, he could not escape the blame if anything happened. What made him even more anxious was that Chang Jinnuo and Tang Wenqi, who had originally followed him in the search, also left for some matters. With only the soldiers in his government office, the search was even slower.
Gu Lingyue thought that there are drug-sniffing dogs in modern times, so could Snowball also be used to sniff out drugs?
Snowball was usually fed by Yunshu, so she took out the clothes and rags collected from the corpses and let Snowball smell them, and then asked Yunshu to take Snowball out to look for them.
Fearing that Yunshu might be in danger, she even called her fourth brother to protect Yunshu, and told them, "If you find her, send out a signal flare first. Don't go in, just keep an eye on her to prevent any danger."
Yun Shu felt warm in his heart knowing that his princess was worried about him.
Her princess was the first person besides her sister who cared about her so much.
The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was in the evening. In order to protect the women in his family and to have no worries, Tang Zhenhong specially reported to the Emperor Tianqi that his old lady was ill and could not go to the palace to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday, and his two daughters-in-law would have to stay at home to take care of her. The Emperor Tianqi waved his hand and approved Tang Zhenhong's request.
Because Tang was divorced from Gu Shuo, she had no imperial edict and did not have to go to the palace to celebrate the empress dowager's birthday.
Gu Lingyue had her grandmother and two aunts brought to Prince Jing's Mansion, where they stayed with her mother.
After all, Prince Jing's Mansion is much safer than Marquis Zhenbei's Mansion.
When Tang Zhenhong said that the women in his family could not attend the banquet, some people in the court were disdainful, while others looked at him as a fool. After all, the empress dowager's birthday only came once a year, and this was the best opportunity for the husbands to build relationships with the nobles in the palace.
The Tang family used to live in Youzhou, so it would have been fine if they couldn’t attend, but they got sick when they came back this year. How unlucky!
Tang Zhenhong ignored them. His most important thing today was to protect the emperor's safety. Only when he made arrangements for his family would he have no worries.
Soon it was night. Although it didn't rain, the sky was terribly gloomy. However, even so, the officials' carriages continued to head towards the palace.
At this time, Gu Lingyue did not change her clothes, but looked up at the sky with a serious expression.
The sky was pitch black at this time and nothing could be seen.
Gu Lingyue wondered why Yun Shu and the others hadn't disappeared yet. Had they not been found yet, or had something happened?
At this moment, Yun Jin came over and said, "Princess, the time is almost up. Should we still go into the palace?"
"Wait a little longer." Gu Lingyue said softly. If the bodies could not be found now, the people in the capital would be in danger.
The most terrifying thing about corpse poison is that once bitten, the person will lose his mind and become a real living dead.
Yun Jin heard this and stood aside without saying anything else.
Suddenly, in the pitch-black night, several dazzling flames flashed, and then went out.
"Princess, Yun Shu has sent out a signal." Yun Jin said excitedly.
"Send a message to my Lord Liu, tell him Yunshu's location, and have him bring his men over."
As he spoke, Gu Lingyue had already stepped out of the courtyard gate and headed towards the place where Yun Shu had sent out the signal, and the secret guards hurriedly followed.
Gu Lingyue used her lightness skills to the fullest and soon arrived at where Yun Shu and Tang Wenle were.
At this time, Yun Shu was holding Snowball in his arms, and Snowball's eyes were fixed on a yard not far away.
"Princess/Yue'er." When the two saw Gu Lingyue coming, they called out in a low voice at the same time. Yun Shu was stunned, then rolled his eyes at Tang Wenle.
I really don’t know why her princess allowed this person to come with her?
He was a chatterbox, and he even said that Snowball was not as good as a wolf at finding things. If he were to run around the city with a wolf today, wouldn't the people in the capital be scared and afraid to come out?
"Why are you scolding me? I called my sister, not you." Tang Wenle said unhappily.
Yun Shu: “…”
She quickly looked up at Gu Lingyue, and saw that Gu Lingyue was not angry but smiling. She lowered her head in embarrassment, her face flushed with shame.
This stinky man actually spoke so recklessly in front of the princess. I was so angry.
Gu Lingyue smiled helplessly. These two funny guys couldn't even stop working!
She took Xueqiu from Yunshu's arms and looked around. "Okay, let's hurry up. Do you know who owns this yard?"
Although the place where they were standing was not a particularly prosperous area in the capital, it was surrounded by courtyards where wealthy people lived. No wonder Liu Fuyin couldn't find the hiding place of the body.
If it weren't for Snowball, she wouldn't have believed that there were people in the capital who were colluding with the people of Western Shu.
Tang Wenle was confused when asked. After all, he had just returned not long ago and had no idea whose yard this was.
Yun Shu was more familiar with the capital than Tang Wenle, and Prince Jing's Mansion also had a courtyard in this area, so she knew this area better.
So she said, "If I remember correctly, this courtyard should belong to the Lu family."
"The Lu family, Prince Yi's foreign family?" Gu Lingyue sneered, "I didn't expect Prince Yi to collude with Western Shu."
Seeing that Liu Fuyin had not arrived yet, she said, "You two wait here for Liu Fuyin and his men. I'll go in and take a look."
"No." Yun Shu and Tang Wenle said in unison: "If anyone wants to go in, it's the servants/I'll go in."
After the two men finished talking, they looked at each other, snorted coldly, and looked at Gu Lingyue, but Gu Lingyue was nowhere to be seen. She had already walked to the gate of the yard.
Seeing this, Yun Shu said anxiously, "It's over! It's over! If anything happens to the princess, how will I explain it to the prince?"
When her master left, he reminded her to protect the princess. The yard was so dangerous, but she let her princess go in.
She was about to chase after her princess, but Tang Wenle pressed her acupoints directly and said, "Stay here and wait for Lord Liu and the others."
After saying that, he chased after Gu Lingyue, saying, "Your acupoints will automatically unblock after a cup of tea."
Yun Shu couldn't move, gnashing his teeth in anger, but he had no other choice. "Villain!"
