Last night when the poison suddenly broke out, Qin Zhi already sensed that something was wrong, so he ordered Liu Jingzhong to let the Imperial Army guard all the palace servants serving in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
He knew early on that there were countless fine works in the palace, and even though many had been pulled out, it was inevitable that there would still be fish that slipped through the net.
And since the person who induced Qin Zhi to poison him knew that he was poisoned, it was very likely that he was instigated by the person behind the scenes who acted in Qin Yao's name.
If he can be caught, he may be able to follow the clues to find out the clues of the person behind the scenes.
When the three of them returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Qin Zhi ordered Liu Jingzhong to deliver an order to send the imperial guards to search the rooms of these servants, and to report anything suspicious immediately.
Because he didn't know what he was searching for, Xu Xian also joined in.He has superb medical skills and strong judgment, and it is easy to determine what is causing it.
In addition, those palace servants were also called together.
As the chief steward, Liu Jingzhong was also terrified and shocked when he learned that His Majesty was poisoned, and now he will use all his energy to find out the person who poisoned him.
The personal servants in the Hall of Mental Cultivation are all eunuchs, a total of 16 people, and Pan Chun is not exempt from suspicion, standing among the crowd.
Liu Jingzhong interrogated them one by one, with a stern look on his face, but he didn't find any flaws in these people, and the poisoner was also very good at disguising.
But not long after, good news came from Xu Xian. Through some clues, he found a buried piece of clothing.
The clothes were ordinary and nothing special, and only Xu Xian could smell the faint smell.This smell is harmless to ordinary people, but it can induce Qin Zhi's toxicity.
"Tell me." Xu Xian threw the clothes in front of everyone, "Whose clothes are these?"
A group of eunuchs looked at each other in blank dismay, and then started talking in low voices.
Pan Chun also looked at the clothes, and then sharply saw the holes in the hem of the clothes.A certain scene quickly flashed through his mind, he turned his head to look at the person standing beside him, and quickly raised his voice: "Sir, I know whose clothes this is."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch standing next to him, who was originally calm, suddenly panicked and wanted to run away.
But surrounded by forbidden troops, how could he escape, and was soon brought before Liu Jingzhong.
Liu Jingzhong looked at that person coldly, as if he was looking at someone who was about to die.He ordered other people to perform their duties, and then went to invite His Majesty and Queen to come over.
As soon as Qin Zhi and Lin Yao arrived, the eunuch knelt down on his knees, begging for mercy repeatedly.
Lin Yao looked at the eunuch with extremely cold eyes, and really wanted to kick him a few times. If it wasn't for this person, how could Qin Zhi become so poisonous, why would they risk going to Medicine Valley at this time.
Qin Zhi's expression was much calmer, and he asked the eunuch: "Who are you instigated by?"
The eunuch said fearfully: "I don't know, I have never seen my master, I only heard that he often wears a mask and rarely shows his true face. I... I have been forced to take poison and have to obey orders. I beg your majesty to spare me." !"
He is greedy for life and afraid of death, he answers whatever he asks, he just wants to survive.
Qin Zhi asked again: "Then who ordered you to do this?"
The eunuch lowered his head and was just about to speak, but suddenly raised his head and looked around quickly, as if he was afraid of something.After a while, his eyes returned to Qin Zhi, his eyes were filled with panic and fear.
He stared wide-eyed, but before he could say a word, he fell to the ground suddenly, with black blood dripping from the corner of his lips.
Qin Zhi looked down at him, his eyes were full of coldness.
It was really audacious for the traitor to kill people in front of him.He glanced over the people present one by one, and didn't say much, but he realized it in his heart.
The traitor who instructed the eunuch must be at the scene, hiding among the crowd.
The eunuch was no longer breathing, and the method of death was the same as Zheng Xiukai, the right chancellor. He died because of the mother's poison.Now if you want to ask questions, you can't ask anything, Qin Zhi ordered people to drag the eunuch down, and then took Lin Yao back to the bedroom.
Lin Yao was still very angry when he thought about it: "Who is the person behind the scenes? It's too sinister and vicious to kill people after using them."
Qin Zhi laughed and said, "If he doesn't kill people, he will be exposed."
"If you catch him, you must let him have a taste of it."
"How does Yaoyao want to make him taste good?" Qin Zhi deliberately teased him, "Should he be quartered by five horses or hacked into pieces?"
After he finished speaking, he saw Lin Yao frowning, with a look of unbearable expression, he couldn't help but find it funny.
Lin Yao was kind-hearted by nature, and he couldn't bear to see these cruel tortures. When they went to the prison together, Qin Zhi found that he didn't even dare to look at the torture tools.
But Lin Yao felt that he could not be blamed for this. Whoever made him live in the modern age where human rights are emphasized, no matter how heinous the villain was, he could only be killed with a single shot.It was really hard for him to accept these cruel, violent and bloody punishments.
"I won't tease you anymore." Qin Zhi smiled, interrupting Lin Yao's troubled deep thinking.
Having decided to go to Medicine Valley without delay, the three of them prepared to leave the next day.
The original plan was for the three of them to go there secretly, and Xu Xian set off first to avoid changes in Yaogu.Lin Yao and Qin Zhi arrived afterward in a carriage.
But before setting off, Qin Zhi suddenly changed his mind and ordered Wei Lingyang, the commander of the imperial army, and Ji Yu, the deputy commander, to accompany him for protection.
Lin Yao felt that he had been with Qin Zhi for a long time, so he could guess Qin Zhi's thoughts to some extent.
"You suspect them?" Lin Yao and Qin Zhi asked in a low voice while sitting in the padded carriage.
They had already walked out of the city gate at this time, and marched toward Medicine Valley for about half an hour.In order to prevent the bumpy road, Qin Zhi specially ordered someone to lay a thick cushion in the carriage, so that the shock is very light when lying on it.
"It's not them, but—" Qin Zhi said while slowly writing the word "Ji" in Lin Yao's palm.
Lin Yao was very surprised, unexpectedly Qin Zhi had already guessed who the perpetrator was.
Maybe it was because the doubts on his face were too strong, Qin Zhi smiled and explained in a low voice: "Do you still remember who the eunuch looked at for the last time before he died?"
Lin Yao thought back seriously: "It seems to be you."
"That's right." Qin Zhi said, "But his gaze didn't look at me, but at Ji Yu who was standing not far behind me. He was so terrified at that time, precisely because he saw that he would be scared." His life."
After listening to Qin Zhi's explanation, Lin Yao immediately understood.Qin Zhi ordered Wei Lingyang to accompany Ji Yu, fearing that he was just waiting for Ji Yu to show his flaws on his own initiative.
The Qinhuang Palace is a long way from the Medicine Valley, and it will take two days if you go fast, but if Lin Yao and Qin Zhi go there in a carriage, it may take four days to arrive.
Fortunately, with Lin Yao by his side, Qin Zhi didn't feel any strangeness or discomfort.
The carriage continued to move forward without stopping, and finally reached the next town when it was dark, without having to sleep in the wilderness.
Ji Yu found the best inn in this town, asked the shopkeeper for two upper rooms, and asked him to prepare meals and send them to the guest rooms.
The shopkeeper's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Lin Yao and Qin Zhi, he knew that they were dignified, and he was a master who was not short of money. He kept saying hello and ordered them to use the best items.
After returning to the room to rest for a while, the food will be delivered soon.
Lin Yao was a little restless while eating, since Qin Zhi mentioned that Ji Yu was the master, he couldn't hide his restlessness.
Of course Qin Zhi knew what Lin Yao was thinking, and motioned him to rest assured, "It's okay, don't worry. I have already asked Wei Lingyang to keep an eye on Ji Yu, and if there is any change, take it first."
Lin Yao nodded and didn't think about it any more.
He was a little tired after driving for a whole day today, so he simply washed up after eating and went to bed.I thought that I would not be able to sleep if I changed the place tonight, but I didn't expect that because I was too sleepy and tired, I fell asleep quickly when I lay down.
Qin Zhi looked at Lin Yao's sleeping face with gentle eyes, lowered his head and kissed Lin Yao's lips lightly, and then lay down on the bed.
The most important thing for him now is to guard Lin Yao well, and there must be no mistakes.As for Ji Yu, it is still very reassuring to hand him over to Wei Lingyang and Qin Zhi.
After Lin Yao and Qin Zhi rested that night, Wei Lingyang and Ji Yu did not rush to rest, but first inspected the surrounding environment to ensure the safety of His Majesty and Empress.
There are people coming and going in this small town, and the guests staying in the inn come from all corners of the country, but right now it seems that there are no particularly dangerous people, and it is considered safe.
Wei Lingyang and Ji Yu quickly decided to take turns on duty, with Wei Lingyang guarding the first half of the night and Ji Yu the second half of the night.
After the decision was made, Wei Lingyang jumped out of the window and landed on the roof of the inn with a light touch.From here, you can have an overview of the surrounding changes, and if something happens, you can immediately notice it.
The first half of the night was quiet and nothing happened.
Just as Wei Lingyang was about to go down, Ji Yu jumped onto the roof first.
"Commander Wei has worked hard." Ji Yu said politely, "I will be on duty in the second half of the night, so go and rest."
Wei Lingyang nodded, looked deeply at Ji Yu, and turned to leave.
But just as he was about to return to the room from the window, he suddenly turned his head around for some reason, looked at Ji Yu puzzled and said, "Deputy Commander Ji is so awake and refreshed, could it be that he is not asleep?"
Ji Yu twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's true that I didn't sleep well."
Hearing this, Wei Lingyang turned and left without saying anything more.
He went back to the room and lay on the bed pretending to be asleep, but in fact he was always on the lookout for Ji Yu's movement on the roof, not daring to relax.
About half an hour later, Ji Yu suddenly quietly returned to the room, ready to see if Wei Lingyang fell asleep.
Wei Lingyang was lying on his side, breathing heavily and snoring intermittently.
Seeing this, Ji Yu immediately felt relieved, the expression on his face suddenly changed, with a sharp edge and coldness.He glanced at Wei Lingyang a few times, then quickly turned over and jumped out of the window.
As soon as Ji Yu left, Wei Lingyang turned over and got up on his back, with an ugly expression on his face, and quickly followed Ji Yu to catch up.
Although he doubted Ji Yu and stared at Ji Yu according to His Majesty's will, he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that Ji Yu was misunderstood and had no intention of murdering His Majesty.After all, he and Ji Yu have known each other for many years, and Ji Yu was single-handedly promoted by him, and he doesn't want to know people that he doesn't know.
But judging from the current situation, Ji Yu is obviously not innocent.
Ji Yu jumped out of the window, used his lightness kung fu to move forward from the roof, and waited for a quiet place before stopping.
At this time, he didn't know that Wei Lingyang was following behind him, and with an anxious expression on his face, he immediately blew a whistle with a very special rhythm.
As the whistle sounded, a white carrier pigeon quickly moved from far to near, and soon landed on Ji Yu's shoulder.
Holding the pigeon, Ji Yu carefully wrapped a piece of rolled paper around the pigeon's leg and tied it, then let go of the pigeon.
After he let go of the carrier pigeon, the carrier pigeon flew higher and higher, farther and farther away. Ji Yu raised his head and looked at the carrier pigeon flying far away, his expression finally relaxed a lot.
However, before he had time to be happy, the flying pigeon was suddenly shot by an arrow and fell down suddenly.
Ji Yu was startled, and a very bad premonition filled his mind instantly.
He quickly followed the direction where the arrow was shot, and saw Wei Lingyang looking down at him on the roof not far away, his eyes were filled with a ghastly chill, and the bow and arrow he held in his hand was still there. The future has time to let go.
He knew early on that there were countless fine works in the palace, and even though many had been pulled out, it was inevitable that there would still be fish that slipped through the net.
And since the person who induced Qin Zhi to poison him knew that he was poisoned, it was very likely that he was instigated by the person behind the scenes who acted in Qin Yao's name.
