In the bathtub.
A shirtless figure was soaking in the pool filled with the smell of medicine.
In addition to the smell of medicine, there is also an indescribable stench, which is mixed with the smell of medicine and is very disgusting.
at this time.
Wen Liang was holding a small knife and walking towards the person in the pool; "Master, please be patient." As he said that, he walked behind Mo Junran and began to carefully scrape the flesh on his shoulder bit by bit.
This process looks very bloody.
Most importantly, the stench was even stronger.
"Well!"
Mo Junran in the pool seemed to be in great pain from the scraping and couldn't help but utter a muffled sound. Wen Liang's hand didn't stop scraping the flesh, but instead the movement became faster and faster.
"It's almost done, Master, please bear with it for a while."
After a while.
After the rotten flesh was finally scraped clean, Wen Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the person applying the medicine, "Okay, Master, the rotten flesh has been scraped clean this time. It shouldn't rot anymore."
Mo Junran opened his eyes only then.
But his eyes were full of red bloodshot, and his face was also covered with red and blue veins. His handsome face looked a little scary at this moment, and his shoulders were scraped to the point of looking white and bony, and his face was terribly white.
He looked like a zombie at this point.
Hearing Wen Liang's words, he shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Scraping the flesh is just a relief. This is probably a poisonous insect. If you want to survive, you can only remove the poison."
"I've never heard of this poisonous insect before, but I've never encountered it before. Aside from scraping the flesh to heal the wound, I really don't know how else to deal with it."
Wen Liang thought of something and said quickly, "Oh, Master, didn't you go to Qi State with Miss Yang before? You mentioned that there were some Miao people in Qi State. How about I send someone to Qi State right away to find a Miao person?"
"Too late."
Mo Junran took a deep breath, grabbed his clothes, put them on, and stood up in the medicine pool. Only then did Wen Liang realize that other parts of his body had also begun to show signs of festering. "Master, you..."
"It was Princess Yu who patted my shoulder that day. It must be her who cast the Gu."
Mo Junran's eyes flashed with sinister intent: "If you want to remove the poison, you have to find her!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Liang immediately said, "Then I'll go right away."
"No need, I will go there myself!"
Mo Junran walked barefoot to the corner of the bathtub, moved a hidden stone on the wall, and a secret door suddenly opened in the wall.
After a while.
Then a figure in a black robe and a black mask came out of the secret door.
Yang Zhao, who was hiding in the dark, saw the familiar figure. His pupils widened a little and his hands clenched unconsciously.
Mo Chen had been paying attention to Yang Zhao. Seeing her reaction, the corners of his mouth curled up silently.
However, he did not take his men away immediately.
Instead, he waited for a long time until the two people inside left before Mo Chen took Yang Zhao away from the hidden corner.
"Is it believable now?"
After returning to Prince Cheng's Mansion from the secret passage, Mo Chen looked at Yang Zhao and asked.
Yang Zhao was silent.
Mo Chen was no longer in a hurry to say anything at this time, because her silence was the best answer.
"A Zhao, I'm not forcing you. I just hope you won't refuse my help. I'll have someone take care of the Zhenbei Marquis's affairs first. After that's done, you can go see the Zhenbei Marquis first. We can discuss the rest later, okay?"
Yang Zhao still said nothing.
"You should have a good rest first." After Mo Chen arranged a courtyard for her to stay, he left.
But after walking out of the yard, he whispered: "Don't let anyone get too close to the yard, and don't let her find out that someone is watching her. She hates being plotted against."
Chen Yu nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."
"Where's Wen Shijie?"
"I heard he's still working on the question. Oh, and the waiter came to report that he seemed very happy after hearing about the news about the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."
Mo Chen frowned slightly.
"Go see him."
The mother and son of the Wen family lived in an independent courtyard. Due to Wen Shijie's request, there were not many people in his courtyard except for a maid and a servant.
"The prince is here."
Wen Shijie seemed to be in a good mood. Today he was walking around the pavilion in the yard with a book in his hand. When he saw Mo Chen coming, he didn't seem surprised at all and smiled and performed a scholar's salute.
Mo Chen glanced at him and the snacks on the table in the pavilion.
When he saw there was a pot of wine inside, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "You're still drinking?"
Wen Shijie put down the book in his hand, smiled and picked up the wine pot to pour a glass for Mo Chen: "This is the fruit wine that my mother just brewed, Your Highness, would you like to try it?"
Since arriving at Prince Cheng's mansion, Wen's mother had nothing to do and lived a leisurely life. She enjoyed brewing wine and other things.
Mo Chen also knew it.
Looking at the wine glass handed over by Wen Shijie, and then looking at his wine glass, he asked, "Did you know that the king would come?"
"Students just guessed."
Wen Shijie saw Mo Chen sitting on the stone bench before he sat down on the other side.
"Your guess?"
"yes."
Wen Shijie said, "Although I have never left this courtyard, after hearing the news that the Marquis of Zhenbei was imprisoned, I paid special attention to the servant beside him and discovered that he had secretly gone out. After a little inquiry, I learned that the prince had gone for lunch again, and Guard Chen was still missing."
"The prince rarely takes a 'lunch break' at that time."
"So, I guessed that Miss Yang must have returned to the capital. And if Your Majesty follows my previous plan, Miss Yang will definitely be able to enter this palace."
"In this case... the prince will definitely come back to look for students."
"As expected, the prince has arrived. The plan should be more than half successful. This is a good thing. I would like to offer a toast to the prince in advance."
He smiled, raised his glass, and drank the wine in it.
Mo Chen was surprised that he could guess it this way.
However, even though he said this, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was in a good mood: "You seem to be in a good mood now that the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion has been sealed."
Wen Shijie was stunned.
Then he smiled calmly and said, "The students are indeed in a good mood."
"I claim not to be a saint, so I ask Your Highness to forgive me, but..."
Wen Shijie smiled at Mo Chen and said, "I am happy, but it's not entirely for myself. I am also happy for His Majesty."
"For the king's pleasure?"
"Yes, my lord."
Wen Shijie smiled and said, "Because only when the Zhenbei Marquisate is completely destroyed, Your Highness will have the opportunity to truly win the beauty. Moreover, this will also play a key role in Your Highness's next plan."
Mo Chen was stunned when he heard this.
"How do you say that?"
Wen Shijie also said directly and frankly: "Miss Yang tried to give her heart, but in return she was betrayed by the Shen family and Shen Li. This is probably a heartbreaking pain that she will never forget in her life. Otherwise, she would not be so resolute as to beat the drum to report it, making it known to everyone, and even exposing her identity as the Yang Gong of Qi in public..."
