Lu Ping took something out of a wooden box. Feng Yuheng looked over and found it was a blood swallow.
Lu Ping said, "I stole this because it was sent from the palace and was highly valued. It was managed by Ge. It was because Lu Yan was seriously ill these days that she didn't have the energy to look at this thing, so I got it." She said as she handed the thing to Feng Yuheng, "Last time, His Highness the Ninth Prince and the Princess came to the mansion to send something. As soon as they left, the Queen's people came and sent a lot of things, including these blood swallows. I don't know what the relationship between the Princess and the Queen is, but I'll tell you the truth. Although the doctors unanimously said that there was nothing wrong with the blood swallow after checking it, Lu Yan did show signs of poisoning after eating it."
At this point, Lu Ping said nothing more, just waiting for Feng Yuheng to check. In fact, Feng Yuheng didn't need to check it carefully. As early as the moment Lu Ping opened the box, she smelled that the blood swallow was not right. The several strong medicines inside matched the toxins she diagnosed that Lu Yan had been infected with. The root of the problem was undoubtedly the blood swallow. But... why did the queen do this?
She couldn't figure out the reason for a while, so she just said to Lu Ping: "Thank you, if you hadn't stolen the blood swallow, I would have been trying to get some to have a look. It's indeed a bit problematic, I'll take this first, if Ge finds out that there's something missing, you'll have to bear the consequences."
Lu Ping smiled bitterly, "Ge is in no mood to take care of this thing now. I stole it out yesterday morning, and she didn't notice anything was missing. She was completely focused on Lu Yan, and I'm afraid she didn't even remember how many servings she ate in total." She was a concubine's daughter, and she never called Ge her mother behind people's backs. It can be seen that Ge was also harsh on concubine's daughters in the past.
Feng Yuheng nodded, and the two talked for a while. When the hour was almost up, she said goodbye to Lu Ping and went to Lu Yan under the guidance of the maid. At that time, there was just a little medicine left in the bottle. Feng Yuheng waited until the medicine dripped into the middle of the gourd before pulling out the needle on the back of Lu Yan's hand. Lu Yan was in better spirits. She was supported by the maid to sit on the bed and thanked Feng Yuheng. Even Ge and Lu Song kept thanking her. Ge said, "There is really nothing good for the princess to give. There are rare things, but they were sent by the Eighth Prince and the Queen a while ago. We dare not touch them for the time being."
After she finished saying this, Lu Song immediately realized that he had made a mistake in his words, and quickly said, "Princess, please don't misunderstand. My wife definitely does not mean to resent the Yao family." Ge also nodded repeatedly, saying that she had said the wrong thing.
Feng Yuheng also knew that they didn't mean it, so she didn't care about it. She just told Lu Yan, "Although you look better now, it's not really getting better. This is all the effect of the medicine. Once you stop taking the medicine, your condition will immediately return to the starting point." She didn't hesitate to speak the truth, and she wasn't afraid that Lu Yan wouldn't accept it. As she spoke, she took out a few boxes of medicine from the medicine box, handed them to Ge, and said, "Take two pills every day before going to bed, and keep taking them. Don't stop."
This is a drug that can quickly and forcibly improve immunity. It is actually quite expensive and difficult to buy. Even in the 21st century, only important people or wealthy people can afford it. Feng Yuheng's pharmacy certainly has some left, but not much, only about ten boxes. However, her pharmacy has an automatic replenishment function, so she is not afraid of drug loss. Lu Yan's poison disease is actually very simple to explain with later medical explanations. On the one hand, it interferes with hematopoietic stem cells and spreads rapidly to the blood, and on the other hand, it also destroys the body's immune function. Once a person loses immunity, he no longer has any resistance to the virus. With rapid spread, it naturally harms her like this.
Mrs. Ge took the medicine and wiped her tears again, but she heard Lu Yan say, "Mother, don't cry. You can't cry me back. You'd better think about how to avenge me." After that, she looked at Feng Yuheng and said, "If you find the murderer, you must tell me. No matter where the murderer is, I will bite him to death!"
Now Lu Yan was like an evil ghost, Feng Yuheng had no intention of staying in the mansion any longer, she just responded casually, told him to come back in a few days, and hurried out of the Zuo Xiang Mansion. The blood swallow was thrown into the space by her, along with the blood of Lu Yan and Lu Ping, all had to be tested after returning.
She spent a lot of time at Lu's mansion, but she didn't know that there was a commotion in Prince Sheng's mansion since the morning of that day. First, the servants who went into the basement in the back mountain to clean up the accumulated water screamed in shock, and then the guards went in to check, and they were horrified to find that the basement, which was originally full, was actually empty. There was nothing but accumulated water and cold walls on all four sides. The treasures accumulated by His Royal Highness Prince Sheng over the years were strangely gone without a trace.
The guards felt something was wrong. Even if a thief came, he could open the box and take away a bundle of treasures. At most, he could take away two packages, which was considered a lapse in their defense. Of course, if he only took away one or two packages, he would not be discovered. With so many things, the guards would open the box from time to time and take a quick look. It was impossible to count them every day. There were so many boxes. If you grabbed a handful from one box, you could put several packages. If you only grabbed a handful from a box, you couldn't see it with the naked eye. But now all the boxes are gone. What does this mean? This means that they must have been taken away deliberately! But the defense here is strict, and there are only dozens of secret guards. How could it be stolen away?
After analyzing the situation, the people in the mansion thought that it might be that His Highness moved to a new place by himself, without telling them, and did it secretly. But this was just an idea after all, and they had to ask clearly before they could come to a conclusion. Of course, they didn't dare to ask Xuan Tianmo, so they called the butler and told the servants about it in a low voice along the way. The butler didn't believe it and said, "How is it possible? With so many boxes being transported away, even a blind person in the mansion could hear the noise, right? How is it possible that no one knows?" But when people led him to the basement and let him see the spectacular scene with his own eyes, the butler fainted with a "click".
Now people were anxious. Even a fool could see that the butler was unaware of the situation. Since the butler didn't know, it meant that the prince had most likely not done it himself. If it wasn't... Everyone was trembling. The basement was empty, and the treasure was lost. That was all the inventory in the Sheng Palace! There were 20 million taels of gold alone, not to mention the priceless jewels. How could they report this?
Someone consoled himself: "Fortunately, the banknotes are all in the account office and not here, otherwise our family would become paupers, and we might not even be able to pay our monthly allowance, right?"
No one responded to this. What about the monthly allowance? It's already this time and you're still thinking about the monthly allowance? It's still unclear whether you can save your life! A smart person said at this time: "Secret guards, go find the secret guards, just shout at the tree and they will come out. They are the ones who are really responsible for guarding this place. Even if they want to punish someone, they can't just punish us!"
This sentence reminded everyone, so someone quickly ran out to call the secret guards in. A total of five people came in, but they were not on duty last night. However, after seeing the "grand scene" in the basement, they immediately made a decision - to notify the Eighth Prince!
Xuan Tianmo endured great grief to appreciate this grand spectacle. He had an impulse to kill, but he tried his best to control it. He was not stupid. He kept thinking about what was going on. The guards said that they had checked the basement before changing shifts yesterday. The basement was full and the things were all there, but they were gone overnight. However, they did not see any suspicious people coming in or out. This basement was built by Xuan Tianmo himself. There was only one exit. He knew clearly that it was impossible for someone to transport those things out of the mansion under the eyes of so many secret guards and guards. Even if he used drugs to knock out everyone here, it would be impossible to transport so many boxes of treasures.
However, something impossible happened right before his eyes. For a moment, he thought he must have seen a ghost. Otherwise, how could it be possible to do it with human power?
Of course, there is one thing that cannot be ruled out, that is - there are spies in the palace, and more than one.
Only a powerful spy network can conceal the truth and cause a major incident in the mansion, and this spy network must include servants, guards, and even secret guards who are in charge of the mansion.
Xuan Tianmo was sweating profusely. He hadn't been back to Beijing for two years. If the mansion had really become like this, wouldn't he be living in a den of wolves? With this shock, his expression calmed down. He felt bad about losing a whole storehouse of treasures, but if he could lead to a hidden clue in the mansion, it would not be a loss. In short, whatever he took from him, he had to give it back!
Here, Prince Sheng's Mansion was already conducting a thorough investigation, but Feng Yuheng had not expected that the other party would think in this direction. This was a blessing in disguise, and it caused chaos in Prince Sheng's Mansion.
When she returned to the Princess's Mansion, Bai Ze was just coming out. When he saw her, he quickly bowed and said, "Princess, I came to see Miss Bai. I wanted to wait for you to come back and say hello, but the Emperor asked me to go back immediately, so I won't stay any longer."
Feng Yuheng was stunned, "Is there something wrong with His Highness?"
Bai Ze shook his head, "Nothing, I just need to go to the camp outside Beijing to give some New Year gifts to the soldiers during the New Year."
Feng Yuheng was relieved at this point, and sent Bai Ze away, and walked towards the guest house where Bai Furong lived.
At that time, Bai Furong was embroidering a fan. When she saw Feng Yuheng coming, she quickly put down her work and stood up to greet him. She looked very energetic and did not look sick at all.
Feng Yuheng smiled and said to her, "Don't stay in the house all the time, walk around the mansion. Although I'm too lazy to build many landscapes in the mansion, after all, the foundation of this mansion is good, and what was originally left is enough to see."
Bai Furong shook her head and said, "I don't have the mood to read those. I feel like I was lucky to be alive. Of course, you helped me to save my life. I always want to thank you, but you also know that apart from a simple thank you, I have nothing else to give you. Ah Heng, please don't despise me."
Feng Yuheng was helpless. "There's no need to talk about this between us. Even if you weren't there, the other party would have found someone else. The Duanmu family and Qian Zhou have spies all over the world. If it weren't for you, who knows who would have gotten in, and the consequences would have been even more disastrous. Speaking of which, His Highness the Ninth Prince and I have to thank you."
Bai Furong still sighed, but she had no intention of dwelling on this topic any further. She said to Feng Yuheng, "Ah Heng, if you didn't come today, I would have come to your courtyard to find you. I have something I want to tell you—"
