Duanmuyao changed the bandage for herself, and found that the abdominal injury was not far from being healed.

He added some dry wood to the bonfire, and then began to read the new news that Qu Changlan sent in the morning.

Li Weixuan has already obtained the evidence that Du Zhijuan sold an official before, and the interesting thing is that this evidence was obtained from Zhao Wuyue's family, and they must have been a little bit upset at the beginning.

Li Yulan, the second princess who has become the crown prince of Liang, also sent an extremely important message.

It turned out that Jing Guo thought that the false news that Rong Guo was going to send troops to attack them was spread by Xue Guo, and their hiding place was at the junction of Liang Guo, Rong Guo and Jing Guo.

Jing Guo received the false news that the two countries were stationing troops. He had seen it in the letter from Baizhu before, and when he thought that it was because of this incident that caused him and Li Luosu to break up and be dismissed, he felt a little emotional. But what he didn't expect was that the news was spread by Xue Guoxi.

Another message flashed in Duanmuyao's mind. He suddenly remembered that this year's Lotus Watching Festival banquet was held. The assassin who assassinated the old emperor was Xue Guoxiozuo. After that incident, he continued to ask Dali Temple and Yushitai to investigate. Let's see how the assassin sneaked into the palace, but many things happened later, and this matter has been gradually forgotten without any progress.

Now that I think about it carefully, the matter about Xue Guo seems to be not that simple. The assassin must have been assisted by a traitor to successfully enter the palace, and maybe Poppy could be found.

He decided to continue to let the second princess and sixth princess investigate this matter.

In the third secret letter, it was the news sent by Li Weixuan's people from the capital. Maybe this matter was not so important in other secret letters, but it was like a bolt from the blue in Duanmuyao's heart.

"Xia Jushuang, a famous prostitute in the capital, died five days before losing contact with His Majesty. The cause of death is unknown. Moreover, General Tu Shenshui suddenly appeared in the capital three days after Xia Jushuang's death, and never went back to the border... ..."

Duanmuyao put down the secret letter and remembered the days when the autumn rain was endless.The first person to enter the door that day was Tu Shenshui, and he probably guessed who the person Xia Jushuang told him he liked after that, but he didn't expect the relationship between the two to be so deep.

If this is the case, the little guy...

Duanmuyao thought of the reason why Li Luosu might lose contact, and suddenly felt a twitch in his heart.

"Yu Rong, there's new news... What's wrong with you?"

Qu Changlan, who just came here in the morning, came here twice in the same day, which is rare. Seeing Duanmuyao's pale face, he couldn't help feeling worried.

"Why is your face so ugly? Is the wound getting worse?"

He hurried to undress Duanmu Yao, wanting to see how his wound was doing.

"I'm fine... just a little worried about Your Majesty."

Duanmu Yao blocked his hand and took a deep breath.The cold air carried the smell of ice and snow, flowing around in his lungs, as if to freeze every inch of flesh and blood, but it also made his mind extremely clear.

"... Zihui, you just said that there is new news, what is it?"

Seeing that his face gradually returned to normal, Qu Changlan handed him a secret letter and something.

"It's good news. The reason why His Majesty lost contact is because he was under house arrest in the cold palace, but his life is not in danger for the time being. Qinghan and the others speculate that the person who put His Majesty under house arrest is most likely Poppy."

"It's not very likely, but Poppy Poppy, and General Zuo Tu Shenshui may have been involved in this matter."

"What? Why would he... Isn't he His Majesty's Tai Bao?"

Duanmuyao told Qu Changlan the real reason why he was dismissed, and he was dumbfounded.

"...I never expected that such a thing would happen between the four of you."

"It's good for you to know this, but don't tell them, especially Qinghan."

Thinking of Mei Shiliang's unguarded mouth, Qu Changlan smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely not say anything."

Looking at the thing that came with the secret letter, Duanmu Yao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

This jade pendant engraved with peonies was also a birthday gift he gave Li Luosu when he was 15 years old. Unexpectedly, the little guy asked Qingtai to give this out.

He gently stroked the patterns on it, as if he could still feel Li Luosu's body temperature on it.

"As long as His Majesty is fine now..."

"The breakthrough has already been made, and the evidence is almost collected. What are you going to do next?"

Duanmu Yao shook his head while thinking, "Not enough, it's just that the evidence in these cases is not enough. If you hit a snake, you will be beaten seven inches. If Poppy really kidnaps His Majesty to force the palace to rebel, then he is not just a traitor, but a traitor." He is a rebellious minister, we not only need to find evidence of his crimes, but also find evidence of his collusion with the enemy country to rebel."

Qu Changlan was puzzled, and said, "Collaboration with the enemy country? What's going on here?"

"Do you still remember those secret works by Xue Guo? They haven't moved much for more than 20 years, why are they all popping up now? And how they entered the palace to assassinate, this situation has never been clear, and the timing of provoking Jing Guo is also very subtle. If Without the help of moles, I don't believe they could have made it this far."

"So, you suspect Poppy is the traitor?"

"Correct."

"...This is really a surprising thing."

"That's why we need to find evidence of his adultery with those Xue Guoxis. This matter can continue to be handed over to the princesses."

Looking at Duanmuyao's expression, Qu Changlan knew that he had a plan in mind.

"It seems that you already have a plan to fight back against them."

Duanmu Yao smiled and said: "That's right, this is the first move, we can start playing."

When Du Zhijuan returned home from work in Zhongshu Province, he found that there was no report letter from the person sent to monitor Mei Shiliang and Tao Youran on the desk today. He felt a little uneasy, so he sent someone to check.

While he was having his supper and drinking tea in his study, the sent man returned.

"My, my lord... Those two people who were sent to monitor have been killed in their respective monitoring points..."

"Pfft—what did you say?!"

Du Zhijuan didn't take a sip of the tea, but sprayed it all out.

"They...their eyes were gouged out, their tongues were cut off, and their hands and feet were also... In short, the death of the two people was extremely miserable..."

Du Zhijuan was terrified when he heard these words. This is clearly the execution method to punish the watchers and informers, and this is a warning.

He kept thinking about what went wrong and why this happened, and he had a bad feeling that he was going to be exposed for doing something bad.He suddenly felt that his life might be lost, and he might die at home in the same way tomorrow.

After panicking for a while, he suddenly thought of something and calmed down.

"Don't say anything about this beforehand. Go and dispose of their bodies quickly, and then wait for news from me."

After sending them away, he immediately rushed to Poppy's mansion.

Poppy was reading the border report in the study, and when the housekeeper reported Du Zhijuan's visit, she let him in.

"My lord, it's too bad. The two people I sent to monitor Mei Shiliang and Tao Youran were suddenly murdered and died in their respective monitoring points, and...the death was extremely tragic."

Poppy suddenly heard the news he reported, and her already frowning face became even more displeased.

"Why did this happen to you again? Wouldn't it be better to replace it with two more people?"

"But my lord..."

"You are already the Minister of Zhongshu, don't bother me with trivial matters, find a way to find out the murderer behind the scenes, and then deal with this matter well."

Poppy was originally annoyed by those secret letters written by Xue Guoxi, and was thinking about how to delay them, but Du Zhijuan bumped into him again, and he immediately felt that he had raised a waste.

Seeing his extremely displeased look, Du Zhijuan felt uneasy, but didn't say anything more, so he left.

After he left, the study room became quiet, and Poppy suddenly felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it for a while, she felt that maybe the Guangling sect got wind of it from somewhere and started to come up with some new tricks.

Thinking of this, he decided to go to Lenggong tomorrow.

***

Ever since Li Luosu knew that Duanmuyao was trying to rescue him, he began to eat seriously. He never missed three meals a day, not even a single grain of rice was left.

And the wound on his calf slowly healed after he started to eat well.

Just as he was thinking of a way to escape in the cold palace, Poppy brought people here again.

"It seems that even if His Majesty is staying in the cold palace, he is still in a good mood. It seems that the dishes cooked by the imperial chef these days are very appetizing to His Majesty."

He glanced at the clean cutlery and smiled contemptuously.

"Hmph, don't get complacent too early, as long as I don't die for a day, you will never have the day when you can be orthodox!"

Li Luosu used all his anger at him to make himself look stronger than him.

"Oh? It seems that there are really people outside this palace wall who are really desperate and want to save you. Unfortunately, their calculations are all wrong."

Poppy raised her hand, and two soldiers behind him immediately came over and grabbed Li Luosu's arms.

"What are you going to do? Brave traitors, let me go!"

Li Luosu kept struggling, but the strength of the two soldiers was too great, and he couldn't move at all.

Poppy stepped forward and reached out to pinch his chin: "Since Your Majesty is so anxious to see the late Emperor, then I will do as you wish."

As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, pushed off the cork with his thumb, then squeezed open Li Luosu's mandible, and poured all the liquid inside.

"Cough...cough cough...what did you feed me!"

The liquid flowed out from the corner of Li Luosu's mouth, soaking his collar, the soldier let him go, and he fell to the ground, covering his mouth and coughing continuously.

"What else is there? Of course, it's a poison for the reunion of His Majesty's father and son, but don't worry, it's just a chronic poison. You can last for another half a month. When will you agree to stamp the edict on the Zen throne?" , I will give you the antidote anytime."

"...You have already reached this level, what more do you need a Zen edict!"

Poppy looked at him prostrate on the ground, and said with a smile, "Because I don't want to be emperor, I want General Zhen Guo to sit on the throne."

He squatted down, lifted Li Luosu's chin, and said, "When you die, and Tu Shenshui ascends the throne, this country will completely disappear from the map."

"You are obviously from Rongguo, so what good will it do you!"

"As a subject, I don't care which country I am from. As long as there is a monarch who appreciates me and exerts my strength, I will be loyal to him. Moreover, two generations of emperors of a country can die in my hands in the end. There was no one before."

Hearing this, Li Luosu was stunned for a moment, and then yelled at him crazily: "Poppy! What do you mean! What did you do to my father! Don't go, tell me clearly!"

Poppy who had already walked to the door looked back at him, and said with a smile: "What does the minister mean, isn't Your Majesty already clear? Hahahahaha..."

Looking at his back as he walked away, Li Luosu was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes darkened and he passed out.

The author has something to say:

Little Peony: This poison | medicine is sweet, give me another ten bottles!

Duanmu Yao: ...How can I break my majesty's brain?
