Chapter 246: The matter involves the Southwestern tribe! Sure enough, this matter is not simple
Wen Ziduan's mouth twitched, and he wished he could draw his sword and fight him right then and there. For the sake of the overall situation, he had to suppress his temper, twisting his fingers like an orchid, and placed his hand on Li Fu's palm, looking at him lovingly.
"Thank you for your consideration, my dear."
He moved lightly, twisting his waist, like a willow swaying in the wind, and walked in front of Zhao Kuangguo. He concealed the inquiry in his eyes and stood beside Li Fu, looking like a charming and beautiful beauty. Zhao Kuangguo was also stunned, then immediately lowered his head and bent even lower.
Li Fu stepped forward, lifted Zhao Kuangguo's hand, and helped him to stand upright. He waved Wen Ziduan's folding fan and said solemnly, "My wife, Zhaojun, and I have come to Ba County on important matters. We apologize for disturbing you."
He deliberately kept his identity a secret, referring only to Zhaojun as his wife. Wen Ziduan could easily have understood the underlying meaning. Perhaps this was the only chance in Li Fu's lifetime to introduce Zhaojun in this way.
"Madam, you've been traveling a long way. Sir Zhao, please lead the way."
Li Fu had been trained as an heir according to the standards of the new emperor since he was young. To put it bluntly, he was also a prince. At this moment, he deliberately acted pretentiously and portrayed a somewhat proud and complacent prince to the fullest. Even Zhao Kuangguo, who had seen countless people and was experienced, could not find any flaws.
It was not the first time that Gu Guan saw Wen Ziduan dressed as a woman, but he still lowered his head silently when he saw Li Fu pretending to be affectionate in front of outsiders.
Zhao Kuangguo hurriedly led the way, stole a glance at Wen Ziduan, the Third Prince's wife, and raised his thumb as he chatted with He Yue, "Isn't this the young General He? The He family is truly a family of famous generals. Even this Third Prince's wife... has quite the demeanor of the old General He."
Zhao Kuangguo was also puzzled. How could the Third Prince's wife be almost the same height as the Third Prince? This woman was beautiful, but she was also quite tall.
It's not that he didn't have doubts about the identities of these people, but he had met He Yue and Gu Guan a long time ago. Even if the identities of these two people were fake, they must be driven by Wen Ziduan.
When the portrait arrives in a few days, the authenticity will be revealed. Before that, all we need to do is hide all the evidence.
During the banquet, Li Fu still pretended to be serious and began to ask Zhao Kuangguo indirectly whether there was any famous doctor who could cure the poison that Concubine Yue had been poisoned with, in order to find out the whereabouts of Long Xiannan.
"My mother is bedridden, tormented day and night by this poison. I am deeply concerned, so I have come here in person to seek medicine. May I ask, Governor Zhao, if there are any famous doctors or sorcerers nearby who could recommend me?"
It was almost noon, and Zhao Kuangguo was sweating and in a state of disarray. He shook his head repeatedly, "Third Prince, as you can see, I too am poisoned. I heard that Long Xiannan, the head of the Long family, is an expert in detoxification. I've posted a notice looking for him, but there's still no news."
Li Fu and Wen Ziduan looked at each other. It seemed that Long Xiannan had never been to Ba County. In this way, Long Feibai, He Zhaojun and others could enter the city together to facilitate subsequent actions.
The advisor nearby added, "Many people in the government office suspect this is a trick by the ancient Qiang people. The governor has captured many of them and ordered their doctors to treat them. He even performed sacrifices according to local customs, but to no avail."
"Ancient Qiang people? Are they one of the southwestern tribes that are friendly with our dynasty? Their current leader is Yubita?" Wen Ziduan was furious when he heard that Zhao Kuangguo was arresting people indiscriminately, and he couldn't help asking.
