Qi Guze said, "It's alright, you guys can investigate properly. I'll take Lu Mu with me first."
The county magistrate had no objections, waved his hand, and ordered Lu Mu to be released.
So Qi Guze took Lu Mu and left, returning to the Tianxianglou branch.
Lu Mu said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for coming to my rescue!"
Qi Guze said, "You did a great job this time, protecting the Tianxianglou branch. I will naturally not let anything happen to you."
Then he inquired of the guards who had rushed back.
"Have you caught the person who murdered the old woman?"
The guard said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I failed to catch up with that person."
“When I looked in the direction he ran, it seemed to be the direction of Atu’s house.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze pondered for a moment.
"The other party is so ruthless, they definitely wouldn't leave such a flaw. They must be trying to make us suspect Atu's family, but Atu's family shouldn't be the culprit this time."
"That man actually wanted us to help him deal with the Atu family."
“The Atu family isn’t that stupid to deliberately go against us at a time like this.”
The guards immediately understood what he meant.
Lu Mu asked, "Then who do you think it could be, Your Majesty?"
Who would want to target their Tianxianglou branch?
Manager Ding and his ilk are no longer a force to be reckoned with, and the county magistrate and other officials have all been replaced.
The businesses in this area have all signed cooperation agreements with their Tianxianglou branch, and they are definitely not those people.
Who could it be?
Lu Mu couldn't even imagine who would want to target their Tianxianglou branch.
Qi Guze replied, "This matter is extremely complicated and cannot be investigated clearly in a short time."
"Don't worry about too much. Just keep a close eye on the Tianxianglou branch during this time."
"Once things have stabilized after a while, I will send you to guard other places."
As Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai's confidant, Lu Mu will be helping them open Tianxianglou branches when they need to go to other places.
This is just the beginning; things will gradually become more complete.
They need to arrange everything carefully and proceed step by step.
Expand the plan and spread Tianxianglou branches throughout the four kingdoms.
Lu Mu knew his role, so he nodded immediately and didn't ask any more questions.
During this time, Qi Guze stayed at the Tianxianglou branch to help Xu Yuehuai take care of the business. On the other hand, he had his guards secretly investigate the people who wanted to frame their Tianxianglou branch.
After a thorough investigation, no clues were found.
"Your Highness, all the leads have gone cold!" Pei Xuan said.
Duan Nian also said, "We can't find any clues at all right now. They've hidden themselves very well and haven't revealed any flaws."
During these days, Pei Xuan and Duan Nian searched everywhere for a long time, but found no other clues.
Once something is found, it will be destroyed immediately.
Just like the last fire, they tracked down the possible arsonist, but ultimately found nothing.
"Don't let your guard down during this period. Investigate thoroughly, and you'll definitely find a loophole."
Qi Guze told the two of them to continue the investigation, and after they agreed, he sent new people to investigate the matter.
After what happened last time, things have been relatively quiet these days, and nothing has happened to frame them again.
Perhaps the other party was afraid of revealing some flaw, which is why they have temporarily fallen silent.
Qi Guze's situation is very stable, but I'm worried about whether there might be an emergency on Xu Yuehuai's side.
He arranged for a physician to enter the palace and secretly treat others in Xu Yuehuai's place while Xu Yuehuai treated the King of Mingyue.
Xu Yuehuai doesn't know any medical skills yet, so she can only watch from the sidelines.
On this day, the physician administered acupuncture to the King of the Underworld Moon Kingdom and arranged for a new phase of antidote medication.
"Make sure the King of Mingyue takes these medicines properly during this time, and his condition will improve soon."
The doctor and Xu Yuehuai were talking.
Xu Yuehuai nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll be careful."
During this time, she was in the palace of the King of Mingyue Kingdom. She would meet with the little princess for a while, spend some time treating the King of Mingyue Kingdom, and rest in the palace the rest of the time.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
After speaking, the doctor immediately left, with Qi Guze's guards secretly leading him away from the Mingyue Kingdom's palace.
Xu Yuehuai then gave the prescription to Physician Li to prepare.
After the King of Mingyue Kingdom woke up, she relayed what the secret physician had said to him to the King before leaving his bedchamber.
After returning to her palace, Xu Yuehuai immediately lay down on the bed.
She casually flipped through a medical book, carefully examining its contents.
If only she knew medicine, she could help treat Qi Guze no matter what injuries he suffered.
Xu Yuehuai has been studying medicine very diligently during this period, hoping to find other ways to help Qi Guze heal his internal injuries.
She was so engrossed in reading medical books that she lost track of time.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and Qi Guze secretly appeared beside Xu Yuehuai.
But Xu Yuehuai didn't notice him at all; she was still staring intently at the medical book.
Qi Guze immediately stepped forward, snatched the medical book from Xu Yuehuai's hand, and looked at it.
"Ah Yue, you've been really into reading medical books lately. Do you want to learn medicine?"
Xu Yuehuai looked up and realized that it was Qi Guze who had arrived!
She said to Qi Guze, "Yes! I want to learn medicine!"
That way, she can help treat Qi Guze.
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze said, "If you want to learn medicine, I will find some medical books from Dongsang Kingdom for you, and then find a physician from Dongsang Kingdom to teach you."
Xu Yuehuai's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"Are you serious? You're so kind!"
"If someone from Dongsang Kingdom were to teach me, I would definitely be able to learn medicine much faster!"
Qi Guze poked Xu Yuehuai's head. "Of course I'm telling the truth. Why are you so happy? You weren't this happy when you first saw me."
He suddenly felt a little jealous.
Xu Yuehuai immediately stepped forward and hugged Qi Guze's waist, leaning against him.
"I am naturally happy that you came; I am extremely delighted."
Qi Guze said, "You have such a sweet tongue. Even though what you're saying is all lies, I'm still willing to believe you."
Xu Yuehuai immediately shook her head, "What I said is of course true! I would never dare to deceive Your Highness!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze smiled faintly and said nothing more.
