It's hard to seal a fool

Song Qingming didn't go back to the palace, but waited in Dali Temple, and then Zhao Xi came over.Although his face is still haggard, his spirit has improved a lot, and his lips look very pale, which makes people want to kiss him.

Song Qingming did the same.

When Ning Rong saw Prince Liang, he couldn't help but look at him more. His fair skin was always very bright, and even his neck was tinged with red under his beautiful appearance. He subconsciously glanced back and forth at the two standing side by side.

"How's the result of the trial?" Zhao Xi said lightly.

Ning Rong bowed, "Although they are still in isolation, Weichen and Dali Siqing have already asked through the door, ordered someone to make a record, and also went to Tianhua Village to investigate."

"how?"

A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Ning Rong's face.

"The timing of returning to the village and infection was right, and there was a chance to pass the disease on to the prince. But coincidentally, this boy had already been infected with smallpox when he was young."

Song Qingming's heart skipped a beat suddenly.

"Smallpox is a disease, the same person can't be infected twice."

"That's right," Ning Rong said with a smile, "That's where the problem lies."

Zhao Xi's face also became serious, the smallpox was not transmitted from that boy, so who is deliberately getting close to the prince and wants to create an inhuman illusion?

"Let's go to the East Palace to have a look. Qin Shou can't do anything else, but in terms of medical skills, even the royal doctor in the palace is inferior. Maybe he can see some tricks." Song Qingming looked at the two men who were thinking deeply, and tried to speak.

"it is good."

Dark clouds overwhelm the city, and there is no rain in the sweltering heat, which brings a sense of dullness for no reason.Recently, the wind in Ningjing has been a bit strong. Although it does not break the trees, it is always rustling all over the place. The wind is not cool, and it is sweating lightly.

The defense of the Eastern Palace is obviously much tighter than before. The layers of defense are like buckets. Even if a fly wants to fly in and out, it must first weigh one or two.

In the inner courtyard, Song Qingming and others masked their faces with white cloths, while Ning Rong looked around and saw a palace lady passing by with a bag of things.

"What did you take?"

"Report to my lord," the maid saluted, "a mouse was found in the side room, and the mother said to wrap some arsenic in the food and put it in the corner to poison them."

Zhao Xi's eyes were fixed, and he was in a state of contemplation.

They waited for a while, Qin Shou was exhausted when he came out, he was taken aback when he saw them, Song Qingming saw An He's figure flash past in the room with sharp eyes.

"Princess Anhe is also here?"

"Yes, after coming back from the villa, I heard that the prince was seriously ill and came here. Although she is not married, she should be the prince Liangdi," Qin Shou didn't care. , the Crown Princess also agreed."

"She doesn't avoid suspicion." Ning Rong said with a smile, this is to say the identity of the younger sister of An and King Jin.

Qin Shou glanced, "The princess is not such a person."

"Where's the crown prince's smallpox, can you tell what's the way?" Song Qingming quickly gave Qin Shou a wink and told Qin Shou what he had found in Dali Temple.He and Zhao Xi didn't care about Qin Shou's words and deeds, but in front of outsiders, Qin Shou should always restrain himself.

Qin Shou pondered.

"Theoretically speaking, the incubation period of smallpox is two weeks, but depending on the individual's constitution, there is always a difference of a few days before and after." He said, "Smallpox is a disease but not a god. Beng, the prince has worked too hard these past few days, so he fell ill just before he ascended the throne."

Zhao Xi frowned lightly and fell into silence.

"What's the matter?" Song Qingming leaned over with his eyes wide open, while Zhao Xi stared at one place without making a sound, while naturally raising his hand to his forehead and pushing away.Dali Siqing hurriedly wiped the sweat from his brow, not daring to say more.

After a long time, the wind picked up again, messing up his temple hair, Song Qingming didn't ask him, just waited there quietly.

"Qin Shou," Zhao Xi said suddenly, "are you sure that the crown prince's illness must be smallpox?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed, and Qin Shou raised his eyes suddenly. "I never thought about it in any other direction."

"Then go and think about it now." Zhao Xi's tone was light, not to be questioned.

Qin Shou went in again, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly condensed. Ning Rong rubbed his fingertips and shook his head. "Impossible, it's not smallpox, what else could it be?"

Zhao Xi looked into the distance with his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was looking at, but if the time was turned back, it would be the direction where the two maids with arsenic in their hands were walking.

"Gu used to have nothing to do in the palace, and read a lot of idle books. Some miscellaneous books on the rivers and lakes record a lot of strange things and ghosts." Zhao Xi turned around, glanced at Song Qingming, and turned his eyes to Ning Rong, " I don’t know when smallpox will attack, but poison——can control the time of attack.”

"What does your lord mean by this?"

"Maybe there is a poison like smallpox in this world, and I don't know it."

Everyone was shocked. They didn't know whether they thought Zhao Xi's words were absurd, or felt that the direction of investigation was becoming more and more confusing.Ning Rong chuckled lightly, disapproving.

"It's just a lonely guess."

Song Qingming didn't make a sound. After all, his highest status now is just a guard of the palace, and he has no right to speak.But if Zhao Xi thinks this way, he must have his reasons, after all, this guy has been hunting monsters in the palace, and he probably saw a lot of strange poisons.

Dali Siqing wiped off his sweat and hurried out to make things right. "My lord, Lord Ning, whether it's a poison or a disease, there must be a source."

Zhao Xi glanced at it. "That's up to you."

"Yes, yes," the sweat on the forehead of Dali Temple Minister continued to break out, "I, I will go and investigate."

Ning Rong added, "Find out who the prince has been in contact with these days, don't just check in the East Palace."

"No, I'm going to investigate now—"

"Chada is a dignitary." Zhao Xi said.

"No, my lord—"

"Why does the lord only investigate the dignitaries?" Ning Rong interrupted bluntly, "It is better to check everything, so there should be no omissions."

"No, sir—"

"Dali Siqing, you are confused." Zhao Xi looked at the confused person lightly.Not all self-proclaimed ministers to everyone.

The Minister of Dali Temple was so frightened that he fell to his knees, "I'm guilty!"

Song Qingming's expression of eating melon is very exciting.Qin Shou came out, saw the atmosphere, and silently retracted his head.

"Qin Shou." Zhao Xi shouted.

Qin Shou quickly shook his head. "In the short term, it's not sure yet."

Zhao Xi flicked his sleeves, "Then wait for Gu to come back at this time tomorrow and give Gu an answer."

He turned around and walked back, Song Qingming waved at Qin Shou and hurried to catch up, glanced at Ning Rong in a hurry, and saw that he was actually looking at him.Zhao Xi stopped at the gate of the courtyard, turned his head slightly, but said to Ning Rong.

"Master Ning, today you have overstepped."

Ning Rong listened from a distance, with a pale face.

Hearing the sound of footsteps going away, Dali Siqing dared to get up staggeringly, wiped the sweat off his face and sighed, "Master Ning, even though the Crown Prince looks favorably on you, it is the Prince of Liang County after all, we as subjects , how can you overstep..."

"Thank you, Lord Wang, for reminding me."

Dali Temple Minister raised his head, Ning Rong's expression was the same as in the past, and the nobleman was as calm and breezy. Dali Temple Minister suddenly thought of himself as a barefoot, and advised a prince's favorite minister not to get along with the prince's celebrity. doing what.

He sighed, bid farewell and left in a hurry.
