Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Three people vaccinated more than 200 people, and the speed was still very fast. When Chunxiang came back with Xiaxiang and Qiuxiang, Zhao Shan also came in with two medical boys. Under Ling Jingxuan's instructions, Chunxiang and the three knew each other well I rummaged through all the things that Yan Xiaoming wore ten days before the onset recorded in the booklet. Clothes, shoes and accessories were piled up on the table to form a hill. Fortunately, he was a prince. If he were a princess, there would probably be more things. .

"Your Majesty, Wangfei, everything is here, including the clothes that the Seventh Prince took off after he fell ill. They were supposed to be thrown away at the time. The servant thought that it might be useful to track down the murderer in the future, so I kept it privately."

Living in the palace, if they don't have a few thoughts, they won't die even if they have ten lives. Chunxiang and the others have long been used to being cautious and cautious in every small matter, and they must not let others take advantage of the loopholes.

"You did a great job."

Ling Jingxuan flipped through those things casually, and praised them without hesitation. In this era, no one should be able to extract the pure smallpox virus, and it should not be difficult to check: "Shanzi, it's up to you, check each one, see Is there any pus and blood on these things or something different."

To spread the smallpox virus, it can only be something that is infected with the pus and blood of the patient, and the area cannot be small. If you look carefully, you should be able to see it with the naked eye.

"Yes, Master."

Zhao Shan brought two medical boys over, and started to check those trinkets, jade pendants, etc., and checked them one by one. Ling Jingxuan did not join them. During this period, he had other things to deal with.

"Yan Er."

"Yes"

No matter when and where, as long as Ling Jingxuan yells, Yan Er will definitely appear in front of him. The leader of the shadow guards is not for nothing. Ling Jingxuan definitely admires their abilities: "Is there any way for you to hide it secretly? Those imperial guards outside, let the shadow guards disperse to other palaces?"

Those who can make Xiao Qi sick must be people in the palace. As long as Xiao Qi has not gone out, they will definitely be anxious. When people are in a hurry, they are prone to make mistakes. There are also those who want to take advantage of this opportunity to make trouble secretly. A few days ago he did not I spent a lot of time taking care of them, and now I can finally free up my hands to clean them up one by one.

"It's not difficult to hide from the eyes and ears of the imperial guards outside, but it's difficult to hide from the eyes and ears of other concubines and royal guards. The shadow guards are very familiar with the habits and traces of the shadow guards. It's very difficult to approach other palaces silently. , maybe only the four subordinate brothers can do it."

Presumably guessing that he might want to send them to spy on other palaces, Yan Er said respectfully that the other shadow guards were basically ignored by them. What he tabooed was the royal guards, who belonged to generations of the Yan family. Those who have been passed down, are proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts, and all of them are the best among the shadow guards, and they are only loyal to the emperor, and their people have no way to operate under their noses, unless they get the emperor's permission.

And the reason why he is confident that Yan Si and the others can hide it from their eyes and ears is entirely because he was not a shadow guard at the beginning. They each have their own strengths, and they are also top experts in the world. However, the time should not be too long, otherwise it would be easy to be exposed. The Royal Secret Guard is the highest-level shadow guard organization in the country, so it should not be underestimated.

"That's it."

Hearing this, Ling Jingxuan scratched his chin and began to ponder. Listening to what Yan Er said, it would be very difficult for them to move freely in the palace, and the emperor is unreliable. Sending them out rashly will only scare the snake, which is rare. Sikong Tuna bought time for them, he absolutely can't let this time go to waste.

"Forget it, let the shadow guards quietly disperse to the periphery of the Imperial Forest Army. If you see any sneaky people approaching Fuqing Palace, I will take them all down. Is Yan Yi there?"

Originally, he wanted to say that taking advantage of this opportunity to wipe out the harem in one fell swoop seems impossible at the moment, so let’s just take down as many as possible, and just find an opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop in the future.

"princess."

This time not only Yan Yi, but also Yan Shan and Yan Si came out, the four chiefs of the shadow guards were all present, Ling Jingxuan frowned indistinctly: "You are all here, what should the palace do?"

That's his base camp, the children are all there, what if something happens?

"It was the concubine who sent the subordinates here. Before the subordinates came down, they also arranged for the shadow guards. At the same time, in the name of the concubine, they mobilized all the Thunder team. They also quietly explained to Father Wolf and the others while the princes were resting. The situation here, ask them to protect the princes, act urgently, and ask the concubine to forgive her sins."

Knowing that he would ask this question, Yan Yi clasped his fists respectfully, he didn't know what was going on in the palace until they entered the palace, immediately he left Ling Chenggui who was not feeling well and went back to the palace, seeing that Yan Si and the others were not there, He could only stay in the mansion temporarily to preside over the overall situation. Later, Yan Shan went back to report the situation in the palace, and he only entered the palace after obtaining the concubine's consent.

"Let's not take this as an example. Remember, the children are what Sheng Rui and I care about the most. No matter what happens in the future, even if Sheng Rui and I are alive or dead, at least one of you must stay to protect Xiao Wen and them."

Ling Jingxuan was unusually strict, one, two, three, four did not dare to hesitate, and unanimously knelt down on one knee: "Yes, this subordinate obeys."

"Okay, everyone get up."

Ling Jingxuan sighed and waved his hands, then raised his head and looked at Yan Yi again: "If I guess well, the arrival of Sikong Taurus may have already made many people anxious, and their activities will become more frequent, you should leave the palace right now Summon the shadow guards outside the palace, track down the source of the rumors with the dead men under the sixth master, follow the clues to drag out the people behind it, remember, after you find the last messenger, don't startle the snake, my concubine has to wait for them The final blow, by the way, I will give you a direction, those princes' wives especially need to pay attention."

In ancient times when there was no modern technology, it was undoubtedly difficult to track down the source of rumors, and they could only use crowd tactics, and he didn't believe they couldn't find them.

"Yes"

Yan Yi clasped his fists to accept the order, Ling Jingxuan waved him back, Yan Er also left, and the rest of Yan Shan and Yan Si looked at him expectantly, the boss and the second had tasks, so it should be them next ?It doesn't matter who the person behind is, this time he made things so big and almost killed their princess, if they don't find him out personally, they swear they won't be human.

"Yan Si, if I remember correctly, you seem to be good at tracking and hiding?"

After a moment of silence, Ling Jingxuan suddenly asked again, it would be perfect for Yan Si, who is good at collecting information, to go outside the palace to investigate rumors.

"Yes princess."

Yan Si had been working hard for a long time, and couldn't wait any longer. A quick smile flashed across Ling Jingxuan's eyes, and he said helplessly: "Don't be too happy, the matter I asked you to investigate may have nothing to do with this incident, does it have anything to do with it? , you’ll find out after you check it out.”

"Ah... Princess..."

Yan Si reflexively made a sound of disappointment, but after meeting his lord's stern eyes, he lowered his head aggrievedly, and after a while, he clasped his fists and said, "Princess, please tell me."

Whether it is related or not will not be known until he checks it. Even if it doesn’t matter this time, maybe it will be related next time. It’s better than no task. “I want you to check the entrances of the Leng Palace. Only those who are in charge of delivering food will go in. I want you to check, other than that, is there anyone else who went in quietly? It’s not wrong that the Xiao family has been abolished. The Xiao family and the eldest and fourth princes are still there. The eldest prince and the fourth prince have already grown up and moved out of the palace a long time ago, even if the smallpox spread in the palace, they will not suffer any damage, so they are the most likely to do this."

Looking into his eyes, Ling Jingxuan said slowly, of course, all of this is just his speculation, and he is unwilling to let go of any possible clues.

"Yes"

This time, Yan Si didn't howl anymore, and disappeared from their sight in a blink of an eye. Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Yan Shan couldn't help but asked eagerly: "Princess, what are you going to do?"

It can't be that the brothers are all busy, and he has nothing to do by himself, right?

"You, just stay here and wait for orders. Don't worry, there are things for you to do."

He could tell what he was thinking at a glance, Ling Jingxuan rolled his eyes angrily, these people really... made him speechless, he wished he didn't do anything, they were all afraid that they had nothing to do.

"Master, we have checked carefully and found no source of disease."

At the same time, Zhao Shan and the others also finished the inspection, but the result made everyone frown, especially Ling Jingxuan. Qi was sure that he had never been in contact with others, so what he was wearing became the only possibility. If this was ruled out, how did Xiao Qi get sick? "How could this be? Jingxuan, could it be that Xiao Qi is really himself..."

Chu Yunhan looked at Ling Jingxuan full of doubts, and the latter said coldly before he finished speaking: "It is impossible for smallpox to run on Xiao Qi by itself, since no one else was infected, the problem must be caused by these things It’s just that we didn’t find out.”

Ling Jingxuan believed in his own judgment, and his Danfeng eyes were like sharp knives as he swept towards the things that had been sorted on the ground. When he saw piles of shoes and clothes, Ling Jingxuan got up and walked over.

"Master, we have checked the clothes and shoes inside and out, there should be no problem."

Zhao Shan also followed, Ling Jingxuan turned his head and looked at him with a smile, without saying anything, he took out a scalpel he carried with him, dismantled a pair of shoes in two or three strokes, and looked for the inside of the shoes repeatedly. After confirming that there was no problem, he threw it aside, then picked up another pair of shoes, and checked them repeatedly, from shoes to trousers, and then to clothes, seeing that all the heavy winter equipment was torn apart by him one by one. Expectations fade away, until...

"Tear--

Just after dismantling one piece of clothing, Ling Jingxuan tirelessly picked up another one. This time, when his scalpel cut through the inner layer of the clothing, a palm-sized, dried-up blood-stained thing appeared out of nowhere. In their line of sight, Ling Jingxuan picked out the piece of fabric with a scalpel, and the storm gradually gathered in his eyes.

"Shanzi, you can't just look at things on the surface, you are still innocent."

Glancing at the astonished Zhao Shan, Ling Jingxuan picked up the piece of cloth and walked back. He knew that this matter would definitely hit Zhao Shan, but he needed such a blow. There were too many pickling methods in the palace. Those who want to inherit his mantle must get used to all the methods. Once he is familiar with the methods in the palace, he will not suffer easily when he travels around the world in the future, because there is nothing dirtier than the emperor's harem out of place.
