The family banquet ended at the beginning of the night, and Yang Yanzong sent Su Ci back.
There was a crescent moon in the sky. The man wanted to send her off, but he refused to walk properly. Halfway through the walk, he took her in his arms and walked under the shadow of the wall with sparse flowers and trees.
As soon as her back was against the wall, the man pinched her chin and kissed her.
"Well, don't!"
He reeked of alcohol, and his mouth reeked even more. Su Ci didn't like it and quickly pushed him away, "Don't, don't, it stinks!" It was so annoying. This man was so strong and she couldn't push him away.
Annoying guy!
The struggles and complaints soon turned into whimpers, and then quickly lowered to gasps, and the lush evergreen tea made a rustling sound.
The moonlight was dancing and dark. Su Rong bit her lip and pulled Aunt Bai out.
The two of them also went back. Because Aunt Bai's face looked bad and couldn't be concealed, she deliberately kept her for a while before taking her back by a detour.
But I didn't expect to see this scene.
Neither of them dared to say anything and quickly retreated.
She didn't dare to speak, but her breathing was heavy. Aunt Bai had been holding it in all the way and couldn't bear it any longer! As soon as he closed the door, he immediately said anxiously: "My son, what are you going to do now?"
With Aunt Yan's favor, Su Rong did not hesitate to take the other party's hint. When the expected benefits were obviously far greater than the risks, she insisted on doing it even though she knew it would offend Chen.
Everything was going well, success was in sight, even Su Rong couldn't help feeling a little lighthearted and happy, but Aunt Yan's attitude suddenly changed. She still said that she liked her very much and praised her highly, but the urgency she had felt before suddenly disappeared, and she didn't even mention the words that she wanted her to stay by her side for a long time to accompany and serve her.
Su Rong felt something was wrong, but her instinct was that it was what happened that day, and there was no way back. During the time that Su Ci and Yang Yanzong were out, she could only continue to flatter Aunt Yan.
Aunt Yan was very concerned about her reputation and held herself high. She never told anyone that her proposal was rejected by Yang Yanzong. She only told Aunt Bai, Su Rong, that persuading him would be against the will of her parents and the words of the matchmaker. She didn't sound very serious about it, as if she had it all planned out. Su Rong had no other choice but to believe her to some extent.
Yang Yanzong came back within two days. The two events today completely shattered the mother and daughter's hopes.
"what to do?"
Aunt Bai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Chen was a bad woman who was always good at coaxing her cousin, and her cousin always obeyed her. It was fine in the past, but now her mother and daughter were really offended by her. If she picked a girl outside for Su Rong who was sweet but bitter but could not be seen in a short time, her daughter's life would be ruined by her!
Aunt Bai was very worried: "How about, Su Ci becomes the first wife and you become the second wife?" She suddenly thought of Aunt Yan, and her eyes lit up immediately: "My Lord, isn't there still a Prince?! Aunt Yan likes you so much, she will definitely be happy!"
Su Rong's scalp exploded, she stood up suddenly and shouted: "Auntie!!!"
She lowered her voice: "I don't want to be a concubine!"
She was extremely emotional for the moment. Aunt Bai came from a wealthy peasant family and had to work in the fields during the busy farming season. In her opinion, marrying into her aunt's family, even as a concubine, was a perfect thing. But Su Rong was different. After all, she was born into an official family and had never lacked anything since childhood. Her perspective was different. She had always seen her biological mother's awkward position and her inferiority since childhood. Except for special circumstances like today, she didn't even have the qualifications to attend any banquet between the two families. Even if she could attend today for the first time, she could only sit at a small table in the corner.
Seeing that her mother was a little frightened, Su Rong took a deep breath, relaxed her breath, and whispered, "Aunt, you are still father's cousin. Look at the concubine of Uncle Yang next door?" It's the first time in her family. It's okay if she is favored, but once she falls out of favor, what will happen to her after being tortured by Yan?
"Don't just look at Aunt Yan's glamorous appearance, what about the other concubines and maids in the mansion?"
The prince is good, the palace is good, but Su Rong has no intention of becoming anyone's concubine, no matter who it is! If we must find an exception, then His Majesty the Emperor should take a concubine, but having her be an empress is another matter.
Aunt Bai was embarrassed. The mother and daughter sat facing each other in silence for a long while. Aunt Bai could not sit still any longer. She stood up and walked back and forth a few times. She was anxious. After a while, she came over and whispered, "Rong'er, you said, that 100,000 taels of silver..."
Su Rong's scalp exploded, "Shut up!"
She shouted in a low voice, rushed to the door, listened for a while, opened the door a crack and looked, then carefully opened all the windows before she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Didn't I tell you not to mention it again?"
Su Rong lowered her voice.
Aunt Bai: "But now, but now is not..."
While Yang Yanzong and Su Ci were away, some things actually happened at home. The day before yesterday, when Bai's concubine Su Rong went to Jialan Temple in the western suburbs to burn incense for her deceased mother, someone secretly came up to her and inquired about the medicine she had.
The three girls of the Su family were of similar age and were brought up in seclusion, so outsiders could not tell which was which. However, many people knew that Su Rong had acted too much when she was in the military town, and she was even blamed for treating Yang Yanzong's injuries.
Someone came to ask about the medicine she had, and she said she didn't know. The other party asked her to try to get some from the medical camp. If she succeeded, he would give her 100,000 taels of silver!
One hundred thousand taels! !
Not counting the spoils that Su's father had collected from his battles over the years, I wonder if even one-tenth of the entire Su family's belongings could be combined!
And that man was not kidding, he directly gave a silver note of 10,000 taels as reassurance, it was from Tonghui Money House, with a clear seal, it was real!
Thinking of the 100,000 taels, Aunt Bai's breathing became heavy, "If Su Yan and Su Ci can go to the medical camp pharmacy, then you can too." It doesn't make sense that the two girls in the legitimate wife's house can do it, but her daughter can't! "Tell your father about it, it will definitely work!"
If you can't find the person, it's better to grab the money first and hold on to it! One hundred thousand taels! With this money, I won’t be afraid of anything that happens in the future!
Before Aunt Bai finished speaking, Su Rong stood up suddenly and said, "No, Aunt!"
One hundred thousand taels, such a huge sum of money, anyone who heard it would probably be filled with blood boiling, Su Rong was no exception, but her eyes were very clear, even a little fierce, she said word by word: "Without a good husband, no matter how much money you have, it's just floating around!"
In the old days, there was a wealthy widow in the alley next to my home. She had lost her husband, so she had to find a wealthy and powerful businessman to be her concubine in order to keep her family property and money. Otherwise, without the protection of her natal family and a man to support the family, the little money she has would not be enough to be blackmailed.
Is it easy for a three-year-old child to hold a gold brick?
Su Rong stuffed the ten thousand taels of silver back on the spot, not daring to take it. But who knew that Aunt Bai secretly took the money later. Su Rong was so angry that she was planning to go to Jialan Temple tomorrow to throw this hot potato back.
She was also hesitant in her heart whether to tell this matter to others. If she told others, she was afraid that Su Di's impression of Aunt Bai would hit a new low. She and her mother were already in trouble. But if she didn't tell others, she was afraid...
It was like adding insult to injury. Su Rong frowned and thought about it over and over again. Finally, she stood up and took out the banknote. "No, I have to go to the eldest master's place!"
Aunt Bai was horrified. After her daughter's earnest advice, she realized that she had done something wrong. Upon hearing this, she grabbed him and said in a panic, "Ah, but weren't you worried that your father would find out and..."
"One time, another time!"
I don’t know if it’s because she is sensitive, but when they came to meet her at the dock today, the prince didn’t go to greet her right away. Instead, he stood condescendingly for a while, until Aunt Yan waved at him, and then he walked forward with a smile.
Su Rong felt something was wrong, as the prince was not like this before, but she saw that the two of them seemed to be fine.
These two things were connected to each other. Su Rong's heart beat faster. She pulled away Aunt Bai's hand and said to her mother, "If it works out, the eldest master will definitely arrange a good marriage for me."
If it's true, then she can be credited with a merit.
Over the years, she has heard about the rules of the eldest master's camp: mistakes will be punished and merits will be rewarded.
If the eldest master is willing to make the decision, it would definitely be the best marriage she could have right now!
She couldn't bet on Chen's mercy and generosity!
Su Rong rushed out, and the cold wind made her mind clearer. However, when she trotted to the outer study of Yang Yanzong of the Yang family, she still became nervous in the quiet night and with the personal soldiers standing silently.
When Kang stopped her, she swallowed and kept calm before speaking.
Afterwards, she was led into the outer study and stood in the outer hall.
There was only a small lamp burning in the room. It was actually the second room behind the curtain. Two stone-blue curtains separated the inside and outside. A very large long desk was placed in the position of the second room facing the outer hall.
The light could not fully illuminate the desk. The man sitting on the armchair behind the desk was half-hidden in the darkness. His drunken voice was still cold and indifferent. "What's the matter?"
Su Rong tried her best to remain calm and took a step forward: "My Lord, the day before yesterday, my aunt and I went to Jialan Temple, and someone came to me and said that he wanted to spend 100,000 taels of silver to buy medicine from the Medical Camp Pharmacy!"
Yang Yanzong's half-closed eyes suddenly raised up: "What did you say?!"
…
Four Princes' Palace.
The red corridor is deep and the houses are connected. The early-opened green calyx is blown by the wind, and the tender buds and stamens are spinning and falling on the water surface covered with a thin layer of ice in front of the corridor. In the large courtyard to the west, the servant beside the prince has just arrived and reported to Ji Yuanhao that the prince wants to see him.
Ji Yuanhao smiled and casually stuffed a silver ingot into the servant's hand, "Do you know what it is?"
If it wasn't something important, the servant would still be happy to say something after getting paid, "Liang Rong just came."
Liang Rong?
Liang Shen's younger brother, Liang Shen died, no one wanted to see him die, and the subsequent compensation was in place. This matter was handled by Ji Yuanhao, but for the Liang family, it was not like this. What's the use of more compensation? Without a capable man who holds a high position and can speak in front of the four kings, the difference in the family is huge.
Liang Rong came to see Ji Yuanhao every few days, asking and angrily saying that he wanted to avenge his brother. But things were different now. The account books and the Liu Ying brothers were in the hands of the Sixth Prince. The Fourth Prince's Mansion and the Seventh Prince's Mansion were afraid to act rashly, and had contacted the Sixth Prince one after another to make peace with the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
Of course, he couldn't start a war with the Sixth Prince's Mansion at this moment. Liang Rong went to see him three times a day, but Ji Yuanhao just perfunctorily dealt with him.
Liang Rong saw that he was just trying to be perfunctory, so he went to ask for an audience with the four kings.
The four kings met him for the sake of Liang Shen's past. Liang Rong cried and begged in the large study room in the front yard, with tears flowing out. His words also contained a lot of dissatisfaction and disappointment towards Ji Yuanhao. He was just persuaded to go back.
Ji Yuanhao couldn't help but smile, not caring. He didn't think the four kings had any objections to the way he handled the matter.
Sure enough, when Ji Yuanhao arrived at the main courtyard's study, the four kings did not mention the matter at all, "Yuanhao is here, sit down."
"Yes, godfather!"
The Fourth Prince was older than the Sixth Prince. He was over forty years old and had gray hair on his temples. However, he was energetic and had bright eyes. His face looked extremely noble and heroic.
Ji Yuanhao greeted him respectfully and sat down to the left of the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince said, "I have sent someone to contact the Sixth Prince's Mansion." The Fourth Prince put his hand on his chin, his brows dark and cold, "The Sixth Prince did not refuse outright."
Since it is not rejected outright, there is room for negotiation.
Ji Yuanhao nodded: "In the current situation, your majesty's dragon body has greatly recovered, and the six kings must know it well."
Not only did the old emperor not die, he also recovered from his illness and returned to court, managing the government affairs as he should. The three royal palaces that almost got what they wanted were immediately met with a thunderous counterattack from the old emperor.
The emperor is the emperor after all. Under the fierce momentum, the situation has changed again. If the Fourth Prince's Palace and the Seventh Prince's Palace fall, can only the Sixth Prince's Palace hold on?
Do you think the emperor will choose you if you are the only one left? This is totally wrong. The emperor originally favored the youngest son of Prince Qian, born to Empress Kun's niece. After the posthumous son of his younger brother, Prince Zhao, was born unexpectedly, he immediately turned to this posthumous son and brought him into the palace to be raised as soon as he was born. The two children were seven and four years old.
As long as the Sixth Prince's Mansion is not confused, it will not put the Fourth Prince's Mansion and the Seventh Prince's Mansion to death. Peace talks are definitely possible, and a result will be reached in the next two days. However, the interests that the Fourth Prince's Mansion will have to give up may be greater.
The Four Kings were also aware of this matter, and Ji Yuanhao didn't need to worry too much if he personally went to the peace talks. He asked Ji Yuanhao to come mainly for another matter.
"If the Sixth Prince's Mansion doesn't fall this time, it will become a problem in the future!"
The Fourth Prince exhaled deeply and narrowed his eyes. After two years of wasted time, the situation was beyond his control. After the incidents of snatching the account books and Liu Ying's brothers, the Fourth Prince became even more wary of the Sixth Prince's Palace.
——The Sixth Prince was not stronger than him, but by chance he did have a large group of talented people, both civil and military, under his command.
Just like Yang Yanzong this time!
Ji Yuanhao stood up, knelt on one knee and apologized: "Wuchuan failed to obtain the account books and Liu Ying brothers, Yuanhao failed to live up to the expectations of his adoptive father!..."
"Why."
The Fourth Prince rubbed his brows. He was disappointed that he failed to seize the account books and Liu Ying brothers, but since things had come to this point, there was no point in saying more.
The Fourth King was very cunning. As long as he was using Ji Yuanhao, he would not blame him. In fact, the Fourth King did not say anything about this matter.
Ji Yuanhao pleaded guilty, and he called the people up, "Encourage them and take precautions, so that we can continue."
Ji Yuanhao lowered his eyelids, then raised them in an instant and said loudly: "Yes!"
After the Fourth Prince woke up Ji Yuanhao, he ordered: "Sixth Prince, the Sixth Prince's Mansion has always been a big worry for us. Although we are now negotiating with the Sixth Prince's Mansion, it is better to prepare for a rainy day as soon as possible."
He waved Ji Yuanhao over and whispered a few words, the gist of which was that he was going to build a plank road in the open but secretly attack Chencang, and try to plant hidden dangers or alienate the Six Princes' Mansion in preparation for future troubles, but he must remember to do it quietly.
Ji Yuanhao understood.
Coming out of the Four Princes' study, Ji Yuanhao walked along the vermilion corridor back to the western courtyard. Because of his ability, Ji Yuanhao even had a large courtyard in the Four Princes' Palace that was almost the same size as the Crown Prince's, one in the east and one in the west. Along the way, servants, maids, and managers bowed their heads and were very respectful.
But Ji Yuanhao knew very well in his heart that if he failed to demonstrate enough value one day, the four kings would immediately turn against him, just like they had abandoned his sworn brothers who grew up with him in the same compound and gradually disappeared.
Ji Yuanhao sneered in his heart.
He walked slowly and returned home. His wife, Ren, was sitting at the table, carefully looking through the homework of her eldest son. When she saw him coming back, she hurriedly stood up to greet him. Seeing that he looked thoughtful, she quickly sent her eldest son back to study. She personally brought him a cup of tea and asked softly, "My husband, what did the prince say?"
"nothing."
Ji Yuanhao pulled Ren to sit down and briefly repeated what the four kings had just said. But he was not thinking about this matter all the way. He was thinking about Su Ci. No, that's not right. He should be thinking about Liu Sheng and the miraculous medicine that cured him.
It's strange. Logically, Liu Sheng should not be able to survive, but now he is alive and has become an important handle to force Liu Ying to change his words!
Since the three palaces are willing to negotiate, Liu Ying will change his words. The Four Princes' Palace must have known about this big news.
But the problem was that before setting off, Ji Yuanhao received very accurate information that Liu Sheng was seriously injured. According to the severity of the injury and the fact that he had been struggling all the way, Liu Sheng would be in critical condition if not dead. There was no way he could survive.
In fact, Yang Yanzong cleaned up the mess very thoroughly. As for the clues about the new medicine in Su Ci's hand, except for the confidant who injected it at that time but made sure not to leak the secret, he had repeatedly cleaned up all the traces that needed to be solved.
Ji Yuanhao didn’t know either.
But this man was indeed a capable and careful person. In particular, he had personally experienced the Wuchuan trip and many things had passed him by. The only thing he was sure of was Liu Sheng's injury, but based on this alone, he guessed that Yang Yanzong either had a miracle doctor or a miracle medicine.
Miracle doctor, he thought for a moment and rejected it. No matter how powerful the medical skills are, they will always remain essentially the same. He is not an ignorant person.
After eliminating them one by one, the only thing left is medicine.
Ji Yuanhao was very excited about this medicine, and he tapped his index finger rhythmically on the table: "Then Su Di really raised a good daughter."
There are three girls in the Su family. He doesn't know which one is Su Ji, the one who is good at medicine and pharmacy, but he has seen Su Ci and there is no second choice. The old man Su Di really knows how to raise a daughter. No wonder he doesn't care about his son.
He asked Ren: "Is Ah Ping back? What did he say?"
Ren was the daughter of a servant of Ji Yuanhao's biological father, and was his virtuous wife. Both of them came from ordinary backgrounds and had gone through hardships together. Ren was gentle, strong-willed and capable. Ji Yuanhao's first wife was Ren, so he did not hide external affairs from her and even left some matters to her to handle.
Ji Yuanhao was interested in the medicine, so he asked his confidants to find out details about the Su and Yang families, most importantly, the information about the second young lady Su.
"A Ping came into contact with the illegitimate daughter of the Su family. The girl didn't dare to take the banknote, but her aunt turned around and secretly took it."
Ji Yuanhao smiled.
He guessed correctly, Su Er was Su Ci.
He was very interested in Su Ci, and was even more excited about the new medicine she had. But in fact, it is very simple to win a girl's heart and the things in her hands. Marry her, and both she and the things belong to him.
Ji Yuanhao weighed the pros and cons between his second wife and his brother's wife for a while, and suddenly remembered something: "Where is Erlang? Where is Chengtan? Ask him to come over."
He suddenly remembered, wasn't Ji Chengtan in love with a girl from the Su family?
Ji Chengtan thought he had done a good job of keeping the secret, but in fact Ji Yuanhao knew about it a long time ago and just ignored it. The Su family would not marry off their daughter, so there was no need for him to worry about it.
But times have changed.
If the one who is good with Ji Chengtan is Su Er, then everything will be a piece of cake!
Ji Chengtan is currently studying at Songshan Academy. He has now obtained the title of Juren, but as he is old enough, he no longer needs a teacher to teach him, so he spends half of his time every day studying on his own in the mansion.
Ji Chengtan came over quickly, his eyes were a little dark. After Yang Yanzong left the hunting ground that day, Su Ci put breaking up on the agenda. Although she didn't say it explicitly for fear of overstimulating Ji Chengtan, her words also implied that they had to separate. Ji Chengtan's mind was in a turmoil during this period, and his spirits were weaker than before, but he washed his face with cold water before coming and forced himself to be strong, so he looked okay.
Ji Yuanhao glanced at him and frowned, but said nothing. He said directly: "The one who is nice to you is Su Ji?"
Ji Chengtan's heart was shaken, and he looked at his brother in shock. Ji Yuanhao raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"
The eldest brother's expression was not obvious but there was a vague sense of danger, which was a common expression of the eldest brother when dealing with foreign affairs. The sister-in-law, who was always caring, did not ask him about his well-being, but sat upright beside her brother and looked at him.
Although Ji Chengtan was a little naive, he was not really stupid. He knew his brother very well. He was startled and thought that Su Ci was probably entangled with his brother's affairs outside.
He was very anxious. His brother was dealing with very serious foreign affairs, which could easily lead to bloodshed and destruction. How could anything good happen to a little girl like Su Ci if she got involved with them?
Ji Chengtan was shocked and anxious, but he had a quick mind. With his mind racing, he tried to remain calm, and after some hesitation, he finally said, "Yes, it's the eldest girl."
"Is that so?"
Ji Yuanhao stared at Ji Chengtan, who tensed up. Ji Yuanhao was a little disappointed, but didn't say anything. He waved his hand and told him to go back, telling him to study hard and not make trouble, and he would check on him when he had time.
"Brother, what's wrong? Is it her fault?! Brother, I..."
"Nothing, it has nothing to do with Miss Su."
Ji Yuanhao stopped him. He didn't want to talk about these trivial things today. He waved his hand. Ren Shi hurriedly advised: "Second brother, you should go back first. If there is anything, it's not too late to talk about it another day."
Ji Chengtan had no choice but to go back anxiously.
In the main room, Ji Yuanhao was thinking about it, and Ren said, "I also asked the concubine to inquire, and the Su and Yang families are just starting to buy wedding supplies."
"oh?"
Ji Yuanhao immediately looked up, and heard Ren Shi say, "I asked around with my roommate, and found out that Miss Su is engaged to General Yang. When she is old enough, General Yang's father will take her back, and the wedding will be held soon."
Su Er, Su Ci? Yang Yanzong?
Ji Yuanhao was greatly disappointed.
“Why do you keep asking about the Su family and the Yang family?”
Ji Yuanhao said calmly: "The prince ordered me to alienate the Six Princes' Palaces."
He had missed out on the account books of the Liu Ying brothers, so this matter could not go wrong again, and the entry point he chose was the Crown Prince and Yang Yanzong.
In fact, there were already undercurrents between the Crown Prince and Yang Yanzong. Why did he add fuel to the fire without making a sound?
Preferably one involving this new drug.
Only when the thing is revealed will he know what it is and have a chance to get it.
How do these two things fit together?
Ji Yuanhao pondered for a moment, curled his lips, stood up and went out, beckoned his confidant to come over, whispered a few words in his ear, "Send the news about the new medicine to the Sixth Prince."
This person has always been ruthless and will surely not disappoint anyone.
He doesn't have to do anything, it's clean and neat.
Ji Yuanhao smiled.
…
Yang family, Yang Yanzong's outer study.
Su Ci walked over and said, "Why are you looking for me in the middle of the night?"
She had sharp eyes and with a glance she saw Su Rong, who was wearing an apricot skirt and sitting at the table, coming out of the half-open door opposite.
She raised an eyebrow.
After Su Rong told what she knew, she was asked to leave the study. A Kang arranged for her to sit in the back room far away from the study.
Then she saw Su Ci strolling into the courtyard, and she casually pushed open the door of Yang Yanzong's study and went in. Akang and others not only did not stop her, but also greeted her silently. She went in and out of Yang Yanzong's study as if she was going back to her own home.
Su Rong couldn't help but droop her eyelashes.
Su Ci didn't know what Su Rong was thinking, nor was she interested in understanding. When she entered Yang Yanzong's study, the lights in the room were already on. Yang Yanzong sat behind a large desk and waved, "Come here."
He wanted to pull her to sit on his lap, but Su Ci refused. She dragged a small round stool to the desk and sat down, supporting her chin with one hand. "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
Yang Yanzong actually let her do what she wanted. You know, with his skills, she would definitely not be able to break free, and it has not even been half an hour since they separated. This must be some sudden emergency. Is it related to Su Rong? Su Ci brushed her wet hair and asked hurriedly.
Yang Yanzong nodded and asked her, "In the medical camp, what is the most important of your new medicines?"
Yes, bacteria!
The most important thing is of course the strain. The strain she has now is a mixed culture of dozens of strains, but the one with the best effect is the only one she is satisfied with. The most important thing is that the small jar with the best original strain has been used up and cannot be reproduced.
"If someone else gets your medicine, how long would it take to make it?"
Su Ci was a little proud: "No one can do it except me!"
She raised her eyebrows at him, and her beaming little face in the moonlight seemed to glow, her cheeks were tender, and even fine hairs could be seen under the dim starlight. He stretched out his hand and pinched it, and Su Ci cried out, and he said, "That's good!"
Su Ci felt her teeth itching and covered her face to pinch back, but Yang Yanzong clamped her wrists and pressed her behind her back. He whistled, and there was an immediate response. He took Su Ci and jumped directly into the hospital through the back door.
The two immediately went to the pharmacy to transfer the bacteria. There was too little information, and they were not sure who the visitor was, let alone his purpose. So they decided to remain unchanged in the face of change!
…
After the bacteria were transferred, the situation changed before it was discovered.
One night, Su Ci suddenly heard a "crackling" sound, and she immediately turned over and jumped out of bed!
These days, she slept in the medical camp.
Here we come!
The thief is coming.
Someone sneaked into the camp in the middle of the night with a clear goal of heading straight to the medical camp where Su Ci was, and rushed straight to the pharmacy!
But the thief was unexpectedly powerful. His skills, tacit coordination and thorough training were so amazing that it was shocking. Apart from the personal soldiers privately raised by people like Yang Yanzong, I'm afraid he was comparable to the personal guards around the six kings, nobles and powerful officials.
With a loud "bang", someone kicked over the oil barrel during the fight, and the lamp oil spilled. It was dry and the fire quickly started.
In order to prevent people from noticing the transfer of the bacteria, Su Ci slept in the pharmacy these days, but she stayed in an inconspicuous small corner room in the front yard. However, those people seemed to be looking for someone in addition to the medicine. When they rushed into the pharmacy, they didn't find anything, and soon they went straight towards Su Ci.
Oh my god, Su Ci was exposed and was immediately protected by A Zhao and retreated. Just as she rushed out of the room, Yang Yanzong came back and grabbed Su Ci's waist with one hand, "clang"! The sword light dazzled his eyes, and Su Ci tilted his head. He had instantly killed the masked man who was approaching him.
Of course these people didn't succeed in the end, they were well prepared.
But at the same time, they were unable to keep each other away. One of them was seriously injured by Yang Yanzong, but was carried on the back of his companion and escaped.
After all, this is a military medical camp. Even if they arrange people secretly, it is impossible to have three layers inside and outside. Most of the people who came this time were top-notch masters, and they managed to escape in the end.
Some put out the fire, some cleaned up. The medical camp, which was neat and clean during the day, was in chaos. Yang Yanzong led Su Ci into the main hall. Not long after, a trusted soldier of Yang Yanzong, whom Su Ci did not recognize, came back and knelt down to report: "Master, after making a circle, those people finally passed through Shili Slope in the west of the city and entered Liuyue Manor."
"Liuyue Manor?"
Where?
Su Ci frowned. She felt that the term sounded familiar at first, but villas were very popular in Daqing. No matter whether they were nobles or wealthy businessmen, as long as they had the ability, they would buy one or more villas on the outskirts of the city.
I seem to have heard of Liuyue Manor before, but I can't remember where it is at the moment.
Yang Yanzong said calmly, "Uncle Kun."
He has been very busy these days, interrogating and tortured Liu Ying brothers, as well as other important tasks assigned by the six kings. There were faint bloodshot in his eyes. When he said this, Su Ci looked over and saw a fierce light in his eyes that was as red as blood.
Uncle Kun, as the name suggests, is the elder brother of Queen Kun.
And this man is the emperor's staunchest confidant and important minister, second only to the emperor and above everyone else.
Su Ci gradually held her breath. Yang Yanzong tilted his head. His naturally cold and indifferent voice sounded particularly cold in this cold night. He said, "According to the latest news, your Majesty's leg injury has not healed. There is a needle-like pain from time to time, and it is spreading day by day. The imperial doctors are unable to cure it."
Su Ci didn't bother to ask where the news came from, and widened her eyes: "You mean?"
"Are you afraid?"
The two of them were very close, and in the darkness, they could clearly feel each other's breathing. Yang Yanzong slowly stroked her face.
“Somewhat.”
She gasped and spoke in a small voice.
Yang Yanzong slowly held her in his arms, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
The storm is coming.
His voice was deep and slow. He held the back of the person in his arms with one hand and stared at a point outside the door with his eyes slightly narrowed.
