Zhuang Qingyue stared fixedly at Xiao Lingfeng with intriguing eyes.

However, Xiao Lingfeng didn't feel offended at all, and even had the intention to lightly bite the tip of his nose in this overly close posture.

"I'm not stupid."

He backed away a little: "Not to mention that I don't have that kind of thought at all, even if I did, wouldn't I just jump into the pit by myself if I do it now?"

Zhuang Qingyue also laughed when she heard this.

Glancing sideways at Xiao Jue who fell into a coma again, Xiao Lingfeng winked at Zhuang Qingyue who was dressed as a guard, and then called in Eunuch Zhao and Ding Yue who were guarding the door.

He told Ding Yue: "You and Eunuch Zhao stay here, and no one is allowed to approach except the imperial physician and Huo Qing."

"There should be various classics of pharmacy in the Zangshu Pavilion, so I will take a trip..." He looked at the "guard" Zhuang Qingyue who stood solemnly at the side, and said without changing his expression, "You go with me."

Zhuang Qingyue cupped her fists immediately: "Yes!"

Acting like that.

Zangshu Pavilion is not far away, and the two of them traveled very fast, and they arrived there soon.

Rare and rare books are stored on the third floor upwards.

The two walked to the second floor, and were about to lift their feet up again, but were stopped by the green-clothed official on duty in the library.

"Your Majesty, please stop, it's hard to go up without His Majesty's handwriting."

The official bowed his body and stood in front of the two of them. Although he had an apologetic smile on his face, his body was quite refusing to give an inch.

But he was right. The third floor of the library is no longer open to courtiers and relatives. Without special permission, it is not easy to see it.

Xiao Lingfeng frowned, and was thinking whether to intimidate him with the majesty of the prince, but Zhuang Qingyue preempted him.

Zhuang Qingyue, who was pretending to be a royal guard, took a step forward, flashed a brass token from nowhere in her hand, and said in a rough voice:

"Acquiring the scrolls according to His Majesty's will, this lord should not obstruct the prince's work!"

After the official glanced at the token, the expression on his face changed immediately.

"My lord, please come with me as an official."

After all, he personally led Xiao Lingfeng to the third floor of Zangshu Pavilion, and personally helped them unlock the copper lock hanging on the door.

Then he stepped back half a step to get out of the way, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, please."

Xiao Lingfeng hummed expressionlessly, then stopped suddenly when he stepped into the library, and turned his head to look at the little official who was about to follow in.

"If it's inconvenient for adults to accompany you when the matter is involved, you should go and do it yourself."

To put it mildly, it actually drives people away.

After sending the person away, Xiao Lingfeng closed the door and looked up into the library.It is said that it is a place to store rare and rare books, but there are not many rare and lonely books.

He sighed silently, and looked at Zhuang Qingyue: "Let's go, first look for the Pharmacopoeia."

With so many classics, if you don't act quickly, you may not be able to find them all by dawn.

Just when she was frowning, a chuckle came from beside her, and Zhuang Qingyue suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Zhuang Qingyue patted his arm and comforted him: "It's okay, it's easy to find a book."

When he was Prince Wushuang, he once helped the gentleman over there to repair books in the Library Pavilion in Taixue, and he was very clear about the rules for the storage and display of classics. It would not be much different if he came to the Royal Library Pavilion .

He tilted his head, narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced around the library, Dang even confirmed his thoughts.

"follow me."

While being dragged forward by him, Xiao Lingfeng looked around curiously in Zangshu Pavilion with his eyes.

"This way."

Zhuang Qingyue led him through the library, then turned around and stopped beside a tall bookshelf.

The tall bookshelves that seem to reach the sky are filled with all kinds of carefully sealed classics. On the top floor, there are even two layers of bamboo slips stacked.

"The medical books should all be here, let's look for them first."

Xiao Lingfeng nodded obediently.

But the books on the lower level are okay, but the books on the upper level are not easy to reach.He looked around, and suddenly saw a ladder next to another bookshelf on the side.

"I'm going to bring a ladder over here."

Zhuang Qingyue had already started to search for targets on the bookshelves, and waved her hands indifferently upon hearing this.

Xiao Lingfeng walked over quickly, and was about to move over the short ladder, but accidentally bumped into a shelf beside him.

He quickly reached out his hand to straighten the crooked book, but he stopped suddenly when he saw the bright red pattern on the corner of the book box.

The dark blue box used to seal the books in front of him didn't seem to be any different from the ones on the left and right. If he hadn't made a mistake, he might not have seen the pattern on the side corner of the box.

Focusing on the plum blossom imprint that he was all too familiar with, the coincidence that fell from the sky made Xiao Lingfeng's heart beat faster.

Stepping through the iron shoes, there is nowhere to find it, and it takes no effort to get it?

He opened his mouth: "Ah Yue, come here."

Zhuang Qingyue stopped her movements, turned her head and asked in doubt: "What's wrong?"

"Come here, I saw something." Xiao Lingfeng's voice paused for a moment, then he emphasized, "It's very important."

When Zhuang Qingyue approached as he said, Xiao Lingfeng stretched out his hand and pulled the square dark blue brocade box out of the shelf.

The box was lighter than he had imagined, and after brushing off the fine dust on it, he turned the box over.

The five-petaled plum blossom in the corner on the back was shining brightly in front of Zhuang Qingyue's eyes.

Zhuang Qingyue's role changed: "This is?!"

Xiao Lingfeng handed him the box: "Do you want to open it and have a look?"

Although it is a question, it is obvious that since there is a clue in front of you, if you don't open it and have a look, you will be sorry for the opportunity given by God.

Zhuang Qingyue took the box without saying a word and opened it.

As Xiao Lingfeng expected, what was inside was not a thick and heavy classic at all, but a thin picture book and several properly sealed envelopes.

Regardless of whether it is a picture book or an envelope, the cover is branded with a bright red five-petal plum blossom, which is exactly the same as the one on the back of the brocade box, the one on the neck of the assassin, and the one on Zhuang Qingyue's mother.

At this moment, two slight noises came from outside the library door.

The two looked at each other, someone was watching outside the door!

Xiao Lingfeng's eyes were fixed, and he immediately walked to the door.

The dull, turbid breathing sound reached Xiao Lingfeng's ears through the closed wooden door.

After judging that there was only one person outside the door, Xiao Lingfeng suddenly opened the door of the library, and stretched out his hand to grab that person's neck.

Looking closely, the person he caught was the little official who had led them up just now.

"What are you doing furtively?"

His face was as heavy as water, and he stared at the little official closely.

The little official in green clothes struggled, shouting indistinctly "My lord, forgive me", when he stretched out his hand to break Xiao Lingfeng's wrist, a cold light flashed between his fingers.

But with his reaction ability, how could he calculate Xiao Lingfeng.As soon as that cold light flashed, Xiao Lingfeng grabbed it with the other hand and stabbed it backwards.

The little official was pricked by his own poisonous needle, and after struggling twice, a trace of black blood spilled from his lips, and then he collapsed to the ground.

He pawed the person who fell down in the corridor with his foot, wondering why someone would go crazy and kill him again.

But no matter what, Cangshu Pavilion couldn't stay there any longer.

Zhuang Qingyue in the library also realized this.

He picked up the albums and letters in the brocade box and stuffed them into his arms. After putting the brocade box back on the shelf intact, he moved the ladder and walked back to the place where the pharmacopoeia was placed, speeding up the search.

After a while, he found the only pharmacopoeia, quickly copied the antidote prescriptions and acupuncture steps in the pharmacopoeia, folded it and put it in his arms.

Seeing him coming out, Xiao Lingfeng asked with his eyes: Are you ready?

Zhuang Qingyue then patted her chest and nodded: It's all right.

The two locked the library and left.

After returning to Chaoyuan Hall, Xiao Lingfeng immediately summoned the Imperial Physicians and passed on the prescriptions in the isolated pharmacopoeia to them for study.

Physician Liu who gave Xiao Jue the injection before saw the prescription and his eyes immediately lit up: "Wonderful! These answers are really clever!"

The rest of the imperial physicians also agreed.

Xiao Lingfeng then asked: "Is it possible to give acupuncture now?"

Imperial Physician Liu looked at the prescription again, and immediately showed embarrassment: "Reporting to my lord, this acupuncture method is extremely exquisite, and I don't have a complete grasp of it."

Xiao Lingfeng: "How sure are you?"

Imperial Physician Liu became a little nervous again: "Thirty percent."

Xiao Lingfeng frowned and looked at Zhuang Qingyue.

Zhuang Qingyue understood, and after thinking for a moment, she quietly made a seven to him, meaning that if Ah Lian came to give the needle, she would be [-]% sure.

Imperial Physician Liu didn't notice the movements of the two of them. He looked at the prescription in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a low voice, "This acupuncture method is a little bit like the Qianjin Sage. , should be more certain.”

Anyway, after seeing Fang Zi, he didn't dare to do anything, fearing that he would accidentally stab the emperor and lose his head on the spot.

Fortunately, Xiao Lingfeng had a better candidate in his mind, so he only ordered Ding Yue to take the token and bring Ah Lian into the palace.Anyway, at this time, how to cure the emperor is the most important thing.

Ah Lian hurried over with the medicine box.

After giving Xiao Jue an injection and a round of medicine, the night has passed and the sky is bright outside.

After re-arranging the defense of the Chaoyuan Hall, and mobilizing the Shadow's manpower to watch secretly, Xiao Lingfeng hurriedly took Ding Yue back to the palace.

Zhuang Qingyue was already waiting for him in the palace.

In the study room, albums and letters were laid out, and Zhuang Qingyue was flipping through them one by one.

Seeing him coming back, Zhuang Qingyue pushed these things in front of him and motioned him to look at them.

"This is……"

Xiao Lingfeng looked at the stunning beauties painted on the album and the poems and inscriptions written on the pages, and asked uncertainly, "This is... the concubine Shu who died young in the previous dynasty?"

Zhuang Qingyue nodded with a complicated expression.

"It's Concubine Shu, and also my mother."

Xiao Lingfeng looked at the date of inscription on the album, and Zhuang Qingyue's face, then raised his head in disbelief: "But it says that concubine Shu died 28 years ago, your mother... "

Zhuang Qingyue: "My mother... passed away 18 years ago."

Xiao Lingfeng was shocked: "Could it be a suspended animation?"

He couldn't help wondering: "Then what happened to the plum blossom?"

Zhuang Qingyue smiled wryly: "These are the letters between Concubine Shu and the former emperor when they were deeply in love. As mentioned above, the plum blossom is indeed Concubine Shu's birthmark. Therefore, Concubine Shu was also a plum blossom before she was ranked as the fourth concubine. concubine."

The string in Xiao Lingfeng's mind tensed instantly.

The plum blossom that is exactly the same as Concubine Shu's birthmark can be used as an emblem, even if the organization behind it is not Concubine Shu's, it must have something to do with her.

Besides, if you can fake your death once 28 years ago, can't you fake your second death ten years later?

He looked at Zhuang Qingyue: "I'm sorry, Ah Yue. Although it may be a bit offensive to say so, I doubt that your mother is related to the organization behind the plum blossom mark."

Zhuang Qingyue raised her head with sharp eyes: "To tell you the truth, I doubt it too."

If there is any doubt, it must be verified.

The two assassins who hadn't had time to interrogate because they were suddenly called into the palace were just a chance to try.

After greeting Zhuang Qingyue, Xiao Lingfeng decided to immediately go to the dungeon to interrogate the two people again.

Following Ding Yue and walking down a deep tunnel, Xiao Lingfeng finally arrived at the place where the assassin was imprisoned in the palace.

There is not even half a window in this dark cell that is completely underground, and there is neither much ventilation nor a ray of light.

The dim candle flames danced slowly on the wall, barely able to illuminate the dark dungeon, but the stale, cold and damp atmosphere lingered in the dungeon for a long time.

As soon as people entered, they were all over their faces by the unpleasant smell.

Xiao Lingfeng didn't even frown, he stretched out his hand and waved away the guards of the palace guards. After adjusting his posture, he strode in without changing his expression.

In the empty and extremely silent cell, the sound of his footsteps was therefore particularly obvious, and the assassin who was imprisoned in this cell was suddenly awakened.

The person locked in this cell is the assassin leader whose jaw was removed by Xiao Lingfeng.

At this moment, the dying leader of the assassins held his breath and raised his eyes to look at the man outside the cell.

Outside the cell, Xiao Lingfeng was also looking at him intently.

Their gazes met suddenly, and they saw the surprise and doubt in those bloodshot cloudy eyes flashed past and then quickly disappeared, and they returned to the look that seemed to be half-breathed.

The change in eyes was so fast that even Xiao Lingfeng almost had no time to catch it.

Xiao Lingfeng glanced at Ding Yue, Ding Yue stepped forward and opened the cell door knowingly, then stepped back and waited aside.

Xiao Lingfeng walked to the side of the assassin leader.

He spoke in a cold voice, and started the interrogation with an uninspired question: "Who sent you here, why don't you tell me?"

The leader of the assassins raised his eyelids and said nothing.

Xiao Lingfeng had expected such a result a long time ago, so he didn't care about it.

He looked down.

Sure enough, the single clothes on the leader of the assassins were already in tatters, hanging on his body like rags, and the exposed skin was covered with knife wounds and whip marks. It was obvious that he had endured several rounds of torture and interrogation.

Xiao Lingfeng smiled, turned around and winked at Ding Yue, then glanced at the open space outside the cell.

There was a big brazier, and the charcoal fire inside was extremely hot.Ding Yue stepped forward and took out a burning red soldering iron from the brazier and handed it to Xiao Lingfeng.

Holding the handle of the soldering iron, Xiao Lingfeng gradually approached the assassin leader, and the hot soldering iron stopped three inches away from the man's face.

"here……"

The soldering iron tilted down, taking advantage of the momentum to brush away his dry and messy hair that was like straw.Along with the sound of barking, the smell of burnt hair came.

But no one cared about the burnt hair.

Xiao Lingfeng's eyes fell on his neck, his eyes were sharp: "This plum blossom mark is rare, and my subordinates only saw it once in Liangzhou ten years ago."

Liangzhou.Ten years ago.

The assassin leader's pupils constricted for a moment, and his body, which was frozen stiff, broke out in sweat at that moment.

Xiao Lingfeng observed his reaction, and smiled silently in his heart when he saw this.

He sighed, and said with emotion: "The beauty with the plum blossom more than ten years ago was truly stunning. Now that the plum blossom is printed on you, it is really a waste."

"She is so unparalleled, how can she tolerate crooked melons like you in her eyes?"

The author has something to say: August: A month to be a new person.
