"But I think that since my sister carries an imperial decree, she must rush to Yujiang without stopping. The journey must take about a month and a half, but it has been almost three months. Not to mention Your Majesty, even I... am very anxious."
"I've heard that there are always a lot of bandits and horse thieves on the road leading to Yujiang, especially near Guangyu City. Those bandits are so rampant that they've taken over and become kings. I've heard sister say that in the past, in order to trade, caravans had to pay enough tolls to those bandits every time they passed through. We left in a hurry this time, and I don't know if you've brought enough money..."
As Yang Huaijin spoke, his face became filled with worry.
"However, fortunately, we have His Royal Highness the Winged King accompanying us, so there shouldn't be any serious danger."
After saying this, Yang Huaijin knelt down before Emperor Wenyuan and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you send me to Yujiang?"
Emperor Wenyuan snorted coldly: "You think it's a good idea."
"Okay, get in there now. If you don't come up with something decent this time, you'll never come out again. You'll be living in there from now on."
In the eyes of others, Emperor Wenyuan only kept Yang Huaijin by his side as an 'eunuch' to entertain him. No one knew that there was another reason why Yang Huaijin was kept by Emperor Wenyuan's side...
Yang Huaijin touched his nose and finally had to enter the secret door at the back of the imperial study.
Inside.
It turned out to be an ordnance weapons room.
After Yang Huaijin entered, Emperor Wenyuan could no longer control his coughing violently.
Eunuch Li quickly stepped forward with the handkerchief.
Soon, when Emperor Wenyuan stopped coughing, a dark red blood color appeared on the handkerchief in his hand.
"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Li exclaimed in a low voice.
"Shut up!"
Emperor Wenyuan looked at the blood on the handkerchief in his hand, his eyes dark and ugly.
His health problems were discovered after the last time the Ninth Divine Doctor was killed while treating the Queen Mother.
You can't see anything on weekdays.
But at night, he would cough uncontrollably, as if a thousand insects were crawling and biting in his throat, making him unable to sleep all night. Later, when the imperial physician examined him, they found that his condition was neither poisoned nor seriously ill, and even the imperial physician was helpless.
In the end, the Queen Mother found the maid from the Xu family.
Xu Shuer.
Only then was it diagnosed that he might have been poisoned by some kind of Gu, and even the Empress Dowager's serious illness was due to the Gu.
The 'root of the disease' that the Ninth Divine Doctor mentioned before was the poisonous insect in the Empress Dowager's body. Unfortunately, the Ninth Divine Doctor was killed before he could take any action!
Emperor Wenyuan specially ordered an investigation.
The Ninth Divine Doctor had previously opened a person's abdomen in public to remove worms, which were Gu worms.
Because those worms were so densely packed and hideous, they definitely could not be ordinary roundworms, and it was impossible for a person's stomach to grow so many hideous worms in just a few days.
And it is necessary to remove the insects under the scorching sun at noon.
All signs indicate that the person behind the scenes was afraid that the Ninth Divine Doctor would reveal his purpose, so he killed the Ninth Divine Doctor as soon as he entered the palace. The fact that he could commit crimes without any scruples in the palace showed that his identity was not ordinary.
Emperor Wenyuan was extremely furious.
But they couldn't find the person involved and were afraid of alerting the enemy, so not many people know about this matter.
pity.
Although Xu Shuer diagnosed the poison, she was not good at it.
In recent days, Emperor Wenyuan's condition has become increasingly serious. Now he not only coughs incessantly at night, but also occasionally during the day. This is the first time he has coughed up blood.
Looking at the blood-stained handkerchief in his hand, Emperor Wenyuan clenched his fist tightly.
He looked at Eunuch Li and asked, "Did those people speak?"
Eunuch Li shook his head: "We've used every possible means, but those people just keep holding on to their promises."
"Then use all those tortures. I don't believe that no one will speak up." Emperor Wenyuan's eyes were fierce.
"yes."
"Burn it."
After Emperor Wenyuan handed the blood-stained handkerchief to Eunuch Li, he rubbed his temple and asked, "Did A'ran bring back any news?"
“No.”
"Okay, get out."
After Eunuch Li left, Emperor Wenyuan called out to An Yi, "Send someone to bring Prince Yi back immediately."
…
at the same time.
A group of people finally arrived outside Yujiang City with some bumps and bruises.
From a distance, one could see a long banner in front of the gate of Yujiang City with five big words written on it: Welcome Duke Yang of Qi.
A group of old men dressed very gorgeously were waiting with their teeth showing. Behind them was a group of people dressed in Yujiang style clothes, each holding a flower basket full of flower petals.
It is obvious that they are planning to give a warm welcome to people later!
Not long after.
The carriage finally arrived.
"Welcome, welcome, welcome Duke Yang of Qi to our Yujiang City."
"Welcome, welcome..."
A uniform shout of welcome rang out.
Then, a refined old man with white hair and beard came forward with a friendly smile and asked gently with a bow, "Are you the Duke of Qi?"
No one answered him.
In the end, it was Xiaohong, who was standing beside the carriage and looked rather embarrassed, who couldn't help but step forward and answer, "Yes, our young lady is Duke Yang of Qi. Who are you?"
"I am Wang Mingren, the owner of the Wang Trading Company in Yujiang City."
When Xiaohong heard this, she quickly came to the car window and whispered to the person inside, "Miss, the Wang family of Wang's Trading Company is one of the four major families in Yujiang City. This old man is obviously of noble status. You should come out and meet him."
