In the middle of the night, the fog was hazy, the night wind blew, and there were gusts of wind blowing all around. It seemed that the entire sky was shrouded in darkness and terror. In the darkness, a dark figure wearing black clothes and a black hat suddenly appeared in the corridor. On the road.
Nangong Hao was immediately startled, and Nangong Hao said cautiously: "Who are you?"
The shadow man took a breath, mockingly and disdainfully, and said in a rough and cold voice: "Who I am is not important. What is important is that the fourth prince has arrived as promised. I am very happy."
In an instant, Nangong Hao was no longer calm. He suddenly raised his head and leaned forward, wanting to take a closer look at the face and expression of the shadowy man. However, he could not clearly see the face of the shadowy man in the corridor. He only felt that the person in front of him was mysterious. He Why are you so sure that you will definitely come to the appointment?
Nangong Hao clenched his fists, with unknown anger burning in his eyes. At this time, he only felt a chill down his spine, as if everything he had done for so many years was a joke, and there was really a dark shadow behind him in the world. The squeeze was so tight that it made him feel scared.
Nangong Hao thought to himself, paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "Who are you? Humph, there is no need for me, the prince, to accompany you here to act like a ghost."
He received a mysterious letter, which probably contained an appointment to meet him, and there would be an unexpected surprise. Originally, he was not prepared to come to the appointment, but the letter included another token that interested him very much, forcing him to He had to come in person.
The shadow man saw Nangong Hao's caution, but didn't care. Suddenly he laughed sinisterly, making his bones run cold.
Nangong Hao looked at the dark shadow man's cold expression, and all the hairs on his body stood up. He couldn't help but shudder. He felt that he had made a wrong decision today. He could get the position he wanted with his own ability. But this man actually had information about Taoist Wenshan, forcing him to come.
The man in the shadow seemed to understand Nangong Hao's thoughts, and said in a cold voice: "I don't have time to play riddles with the fourth prince. The fourth prince has always acted like a humble gentleman, isn't it just for the throne? Now I am willing to help you win the throne, how?"
Nangong Hao rarely showed violent emotions on his face. At this time, the shadow man's words made him uneasy. He felt as if someone was pinching his mandible. The violent aura on the other person's body made him breathless. .
Nangong Hao calmed down and stared at the shadow man for a long time with a pair of gloomy red eyes. He suddenly laughed coldly and said, "Why do you want to help me? Why do you think you can help me?" He He knew that the person opposite him was very dangerous, but his position in his father's heart was not stable. Moreover, the Queen's lineage was difficult to deal with. Although his mother-in-law was also favored by his father, the mother's clan was not powerful enough. He needs the support of foreign aid to help him.
"I know the secrets recorded in the royal iron scrolls of your Northern Dynasties..." The shadow man did not answer his question directly, but adjusted Nangong Hao's taste and said: "If there is something wrong with this batch of herbs, your emperor will definitely Hui Long Yan is furious, who do you think will be implicated?"
Nangong Hao's eyes were focused, and he forced himself to remain calm before saying, "If something goes wrong, this prince will be the first to be implicated." He and Prime Minister Lin were responsible for escorting the herbal medicine to Jincheng, and his mother and concubine finally asked for this trip. Yes, just because I want to perform well in front of my father.
The third child has military exploits outside, and the eldest son has the help of the queen family and is close to Prince Yu's palace. Now he has won a great victory in the battle at Konggu Pass. Regardless of whether the eldest son has meritorious service or not, the emperor is indeed very pleased with the victory over Konggu Pass over the Tianlang Kingdom. Now if he If he messed up his errand in Jincheng again, he would definitely be implicated, and his status in the imperial city would probably plummet. The shadow man was not helping himself, but harming himself.
Nangong Hao was thinking secretly, but he couldn't figure out what the shadow man's purpose was?
Seeing Nangong Hao's reaction, the shadow man shook his head, and then said: "If the people of Jincheng have problems because of eating comfrey, it will not be the fourth prince who will be implicated, but the person who developed the antidote. If the antidote Wouldn’t it be interesting to suddenly turn into poison?”
Nangong Hao frowned, reacted immediately, and said in a deep voice: "Are you saying that the batch of herbs we escorted cannot cure Jincheng's disease, but will make it worse?"
"However, Shen Wei is the head of the imperial hospital. He knows that the emperor attaches great importance to this illness, so he does not dare to report it randomly. If the antidote is fake, he will not be able to keep the black gauze hat on his head, and may even lose his life."
"I didn't say that Lithospermum can't detoxify. This epidemic is not an ordinary disease, but a rare poison. If they concealed it and refused to report it, wouldn't they have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor a long time ago." The shadow man suddenly sighed. , said softly: "I didn't expect that man's medical skills to have improved a lot. It's a pity that over the years, I haven't found the original poisonous poison. Otherwise, no matter how good his medical skills are, he can't be the savior." .”
Nangong Hao's pupils suddenly enlarged. Although he did not hear all the words of the shadow man, he vaguely heard the word "poison". Is it true that as the rumors said, Jincheng was really infected with the poison, so he could not be cured for a long time.
He remembered that as early as when Grandpa Taizu was in power, he had explicitly banned it. If anyone was found using poison to harm people, he would be killed. The secret history of the palace also recorded that the massacre of the village at that time was the order given by Grandpa Taizu.
Nangong Hao was a little excited. The sensational case of village annihilation by poisonous poison was suppressed instantly, and no more rumors were leaked. He actually admired how Grandpa Taizu did it.
In an instant, a gloomy smile appeared on Nangong Hao's lips. This was indeed interesting. Li Zheng, the new governor of Jincheng, should be the queen's man. He had heard about the antidote developed by a country doctor in Kyoto, and The person who reported it was Li Zheng. Since Li Zheng couldn't use it for himself, he couldn't take advantage of the Queen's lineage. This could indeed effectively attack the Queen's power.
Now that the eldest prince's momentum in Konggu Pass is too strong, let's catch him by surprise.
Jincheng is an important economic gathering place, and he is ready to take it back, but he cannot act rashly before the time comes. Now that the time has come, he must make good use of it.
…………
At this time, in the pharmacy, Mei Zongzheng was arranging the comfrey that had just been brought in from outside. Looking at these piles of life-saving herbs, more than two months later, his hard work was finally not in vain.
Mei Zongzheng raised his head and stared at the imperial doctors headed by Imperial Physician Shen. Although he had not slept well for a long time, his eyes were still bright and bright, and he said excitedly: "Now that the source of the medicine is available, it can save people's lives."
Dr. Shen is much younger than Mei Zongzheng. When he was young, he worked under Mei Zongzheng as a servant. Although he was a handyman at the time, he learned a lot of medical things from Mei Zongzheng, so he respected him very much. The old man in front of him also trusted him.
In particular, he knew that what the people were suffering from was not an ordinary disease, but a poisonous poison that would cause people to panic. It was scary for him to think about it, for fear that this matter would spread.
"Thanks to Mr. Mei for finding a way to save him this time, otherwise we would have to carry his head back to Beijing."
As soon as Dr. Shen said this, everyone agreed: "Thank you, Mr. Mei."
Everyone was very happy and sighed, and bowed to Mr. Mei to thank him.
"Excuse me, please do your hard work to distribute this prescription and make an antidote. Remember that this prescription must not be leaked. You must prepare it yourself." Mei Zongzheng repeatedly warned.
