Chapter 1086 He spoke too quickly and said the wrong thing!
The county magistrate himself knew nothing, so he could only send someone to call Constable Zhang over.
Constable Zhang is a native of Lingtai County and has served in this position for many years. He knows Lingtai County much better than the county magistrate.
Upon learning that Shang Kui and Fang Wujiu wanted to ask about the Hu people in the Western Regions, Constable Zhang immediately spoke up.
"The son-in-law of the Yu family was a man from the Western Regions, but that was more than 20 years ago. He has disappeared and it is still unknown whether he is dead or alive."
Fang Wujiu keenly captured the key information and asked.
"The Yu family has a live-in son-in-law?"
Constable Zhang did not dare to hide anything and immediately told him everything that happened in the Yu family.
After listening to his narration, Fang Wujiu had already pieced together the whole story in his mind.
If he guessed correctly, Yu Jiu should have changed camp now. Next, Yu Jiu and Xiao Xixi will go to find the leader of Tianmen together. Yu Jiu wants revenge, and Xiao Xixi wants to eliminate the trouble forever.
These two people are determined to cause trouble!
But how could the leader of Tianmen be a small figure that could be dealt with by the two of them?
The fact that Tianmen was able to hide in the Great Sheng Dynasty for so many years and yet developed into the behemoth it is today is enough to show how powerful the methods of Tianmen's leader are.
If Xiao Xixi and Yu Jiu were to go head-to-head with him, the latter would obviously have a greater chance of winning.
Let's take a step back and say that even if Xiao Xixi and Yu Jiu really succeed by chance, there are still so many people in Tianmen. If they kill the leader of the sect, can they get away with it?
I'm afraid they would pounce on them and eat them alive!
Fang Wujiu immediately wrote a letter and gave it to Shang Kui.
"Send someone to deliver this letter back to Shengjing and hand it to the emperor. Be quick!"
Shang Kui: “Okay.”
Fang Wujiu: "Send another team to find all the people from the Western Regions and find out their backgrounds."
Shang Kui immediately sent people to do these two things.
The secret letter was sent back to Shengjing by the Yulin Guards at full speed.
Inside the palace.
Luo Qinghan has been suffering from insomnia for almost ten days.
As long as he closed his eyes, he would see Xixi hiding in some unknown corner, losing her life bit by bit.
He didn't dare close his eyes to rest, and didn't dare to look at the scene.
He could only keep his eyes open and struggle until dawn.
After enduring for so long, he finally broke down his body.
The emperor fell ill, and the imperial doctors were extremely anxious, racking their brains to help him recover.
However, no matter how much medicine he took, the emperor's physical condition never improved.
The Imperial Physician spoke to Eunuch Chang in private.
"Your Majesty is suffering from a heart disease, and a heart disease needs to be treated with a heart medicine."
Eunuch Chang knew that the emperor's biggest worry was the imperial concubine.
Now the imperial concubine's whereabouts are unknown, and her life or death is uncertain. The emperor is so worried that he has lost his appetite. If this continues, his health will surely get worse and worse.
After sending the imperial physician away, Eunuch Chang returned to the bedroom.
He looked at the little palace maid who was kneeling on the ground, at a loss as to what to do while holding the medicine. The emperor was sitting at the desk, holding a memorial that had just been sent by the cabinet in his hand, without even a glance at the little palace maid beside him.
Seeing Eunuch Chang coming in, the little palace maid hurriedly looked at him with a look for help.
When Eunuch Chang saw this scene, he knew that the emperor must not want to take the medicine again. The little palace maid did not dare to persuade him too much, nor did she dare to leave. She could only kneel beside him and wait anxiously.
Eunuch Chang cautiously reminded: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to take your medicine."
Although the imperial physician said that the root of the emperor's illness came from his heart, he still had to take the necessary medicine, otherwise his body would only deteriorate faster.
Luo Qinghan replied without even raising his head.
"Leave it there."
Eunuch Chang wanted to say that the medicine should be taken while it is hot, but he was familiar with the emperor's temper. Some things only needed to be said once. The emperor would get annoyed if he said them too much, especially since the emperor had been in a bad mood recently and his temper was even more unpredictable.
In the end, Eunuch Chang had no choice but to ask the young palace maid to put down the medicine.
The little palace maid was as if pardoned. She put the medicine on the small table next to her and then quickly retreated.
She was really afraid of the emperor.
Especially during the time when the imperial concubine was away, the emperor's character became more and more cold and severe. He hardly spoke unless it was necessary. If anyone around him made the slightest mistake, he would punish them mercilessly.
All the people who served the emperor were trembling with fear, fearing that they might do something that would displease the emperor.
It is obvious that emperors were not like this before.
Although he was unkind in the past, he generally wouldn't pursue minor issues that were harmless.
It will never be as unpredictable as it is now.
Everyone knew that all this was because of the imperial concubine's departure.
Eunuch Chang watched the medicine getting colder little by little, but the emperor never showed any intention of taking it. He read one memorial after another, as if he would never get tired.
It was getting dark outside.
Eunuch Chang couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, let me warm up the medicine for you."
Luo Qinghan responded casually: "Yeah."
Eunuch Chang immediately asked someone to take the bowl of medicine away.
After a while, a bowl of steaming medicine was brought up again.
However, Luo Qinghan still took another look at the medicine that night.
He was immersed in his work, and he had to rely on busy work to distract himself so as not to lose his mind because of worrying about Xixi's safety.
Eunuch Chang bravely advised.
"Your Majesty, you are not well yet. The imperial physician has advised you to rest more so that you can get better faster."
Luo Qinghan said without even raising his head: "I know my body well, I'm fine."
Eunuch Chang: "Your Majesty, if the Imperial Concubine were here, she would definitely not want to see you torture yourself like this."
Luo Qinghan paused while reviewing the memorials.
The ink on the tip of his nose left a spot of black on the memorial.
He slowly raised his head, revealing a handsome face that was slightly pale.
Because of the continuous insomnia, he looked much more haggard.
Eunuch Chang knew that the Imperial Concubine was the Emperor's Achilles' heel and no one else could touch her. But in this situation, only by mentioning the Imperial Concubine could the Emperor be moved. Otherwise, no matter what others said, the Emperor would remain indifferent.
Under the emperor's silent gaze, Eunuch Chang felt extremely stressed and he continued speaking with difficulty.
"I know you are very worried about the safety of the Imperial Concubine. That is why you should take good care of yourself. If you fall ill, how can you find the Imperial Concubine?"
Luo Qinghan's thin lips moved slightly: "Can she come back?"
Eunuch Chang hurriedly said, "Of course I will come back. The Imperial Concubine values you so much that she even risked her own life to save you..."
He paused abruptly at this point.
He spoke too quickly and said the wrong thing!
