Chapter 406 The person behind the scenes?
And of course, he couldn't produce the kind of medicinal material that could enhance the medicinal properties of herbs by a hundred times and even cure incurable diseases like the plague.
Doctor Xue naturally wanted to go back and write a letter to Jiang Tangtang, telling her about Anyang Bo's condition and asking her for medicine.
Anyang Bo had no idea what he was thinking.
He had heard that Doctor Xue was a skilled doctor who could even cure the plague, so he thought that he could not only cure the plague, but also such incurable diseases.
He pleaded, "Doctor Xue, I have a request... Could you please keep my illness a secret? Don't tell anyone else, including my daughter..."
Doctor Xue said in embarrassment: "I am short of a few medicinal herbs. If you don't ask the emperor to find a way, I am afraid I will not be able to cure your uncle's illness."
Anyang Bo felt his face burning. He regretted it when he thought about what his daughter would think of him if she knew he had such a disease...
If he had known earlier, he should have found a deserted place and burned himself to death instead of harboring any hope and asking Dr. Xue to come and see her.
Doctor Xue understood what he was thinking. He had no children, and if he had children, he would be ashamed to let the younger generation know if they got sick like this.
He didn't know how Anyang Bo got sick, but if for no other reason than for the sake of his disciples, he would not let such a scandal get out.
He said, "Don't worry, my Lord. I won't mention you when I ask the Emperor to help me find medicine. Just keep a close eye on your subordinates' words."
Anyang Bo breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Doctor Xue. "I'm sorry for the trouble you've taken. My men are all trustworthy."
Doctor Xue did not overstep his bounds and talk about his family affairs. To be cautious, he did not prescribe a prescription and let him get the medicine outside. Instead, he returned to the pharmacy, prepared the medicine himself, and asked the medicine boy to give it to Anyang Bo's servant.
After taking the medicine prescribed by Doctor Xue, Anyang Bo's itching symptoms were much relieved. He finally cheered up and sent people to track down the person who caused his illness.
In fact, ever since Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan became the dominant force, he has been very cautious, fearing that someone would start with him in order to deal with his daughter.
It was precisely because of his caution that he was able to protect himself under Xiao Ye's nose at that time.
Finally, he connected with the people sent by Lu Shiyan, successfully arrived in Lingnan, and then hid on the treasure island.
But this time, he really didn't expect...
That person actually came to plot against him.
Anyang Bo thought that he truly pitied her, but she had colluded with someone to bring on a serious disease to harm him, and his face turned cold.
With a cold face, he looked at his confidant and asked, "Have you found the person?"
The confidant knelt on the ground and said, "We have found her. According to the Marquis's order, we didn't arrest her. We just secretly watched her to see who she came into contact with."
Anyang Bo nodded, "Go! Watch carefully and make sure to find the person behind this."
Xinhu hesitated for a moment, then said, "What if she has already been abandoned by the other party and has cut off contact with her?"
Anyang Bo said coldly, "Then bring him back and torture him severely. Don't hesitate."
The confidant took the order and left. After he left, he still sighed in his heart.
I originally thought that his uncle would finally let go of his wife and find someone close to him to spend the rest of his life with, but I didn't expect that he would be plotted against by others.
After this incident, his master will never let anyone get close to him easily again.

"My Lord, you guessed correctly. Jiang Shi didn't execute the emperor and his entourage. She escorted them to Lingnan, and then replaced them with another group of people to escort them out to sea. Their ship was fast, and we couldn't find out where they went after they left the sea."
In a secluded courtyard in Xiacheng, a man in black hunched over and said, "The Jiang family is the most hypocritical. In the past, they forced the prince of the Great Zhou to do hard labor for the sake of their kindness. This time, they're probably just plotting to kill him once they've gained a good reputation."
The Marquis mentioned by the man in black is Governor Gao Jian.
He was originally only the Minister of Revenue, but after his daughter married the eldest prince as the imperial concubine, and he accidentally saved the life of the then Western Rong Emperor, he was granted the title of Marquis Xuanping.
Now that the Western Rong are gone, his title of Marquis Xuanping is naturally gone too.
However, he had worked so hard to get to this point, so he was unwilling to give up.
He frowned and looked at his confidant beside him and said, "Dequan, what do you think? Do you also think Jiang is doing this for a good reputation?"
Gu Dequan said, "My Lord, I don't think so. If Jiang Shi wanted to improve her reputation, she would have publicized it. But not only did she not do that, she deliberately created a misunderstanding, saying that she had killed the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and others. She must have had a deep purpose in doing so."
Gao Jiandu asked, "Then what do you think is the deep meaning behind her actions?"
Gu Dequan apologized, "My Lord, I don't know either."
Governor Gao Jian ignored Gu Dequan and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he still couldn't understand why Jiang Tangtang did this.
The truth is, Jiang Tangtang's behavior is different from that of ordinary people in every way, making it impossible for him to think about her according to ordinary people's thinking.
He suddenly stopped and asked the two of them, "Is there any news from the palace?"
The man in black said, "Our people have been following your instructions and have been putting colorless and odorless poison in the food. Logically, the poison should have taken effect long ago, but for some reason, they have acted as if nothing happened so far."
Gao Jiandu asked, "Is it because the medicine is slow to take effect? We need to wait a while. Or perhaps, they have already rebelled?"
The man in black said, "That's impossible, Lord. You can doubt anyone, but you cannot doubt their loyalty to you."
Governor Gao Jian had planted people in the imperial kitchen in order to plot a rebellion, but he didn't expect that the Western Rong would be completely destroyed before he could even start the rebellion.
Jiang Tangtang's conquest of Xirong overnight completely disrupted his plans.
Fortunately, after Jiang Tangtang conquered Xirong, he did not carry out a major purge. Apart from laying off some palace servants and reorganizing the imperial guards, he did not make many changes.
She didn't even replace the chefs in the imperial kitchen.
Gao Jiandu suspected that Jiang Tangtang was too arrogant, thinking that he could rest easy after executing Qi Hongzong and others. Therefore, he took this opportunity to give orders to the people who had been buried in the imperial kitchen.
But unexpectedly, after so much time, there is no effect at all.
