In the evening, after dinner, Mo Zeshen came to the room where Fang Quan was being held.
Because Fang Quan was pulled too hard, he didn't need to be tied up at all and was just thrown into the room. He lay motionless on the bed, his lips were chapped and peeled, and his eyes were staring blankly at the roof.
This was probably the most miserable time in his life, and he was doubting his life.
The door opened, the person on the bed moved, and then continued to look towards the roof, not even looking at the person who came in.
Mo Zeshen sat on a chair in front of the bed. Yuan Lang came in behind him with a bowl of ginseng soup in his hand. He put the ginseng soup on the table next to Mo Zeshen, then stepped back and stood up.
Mo Zeshen pointed to the bowl of ginseng soup and said to the person on the bed: "Master Fang, I see that you are feeling weak. Why don't you come down and drink a bowl of ginseng soup to refresh yourself."
Fang Quan, who was on the bed, raised his head and glanced at the bowl of ginseng soup. His eyes brightened obviously and his throat rolled up and down.
He hesitated, then turned his head to the side without saying a word.
Mo Ze, who was sitting in front of the bed, lowered his eyes and smiled slightly. He raised his eyes and looked at him, "I didn't expect Mr. Fang to be quite brave. It's true that I underestimate you."
He said, picked up the bowl of ginseng soup, stood up and walked forward, handing the ginseng soup in front of Fang Quan.
Fang Quan frowned, turned his face to the side again, and said in a cold voice: "I obey your Majesty's orders. I have no choice but to offend King Chen. If you want to kill me or cut me into pieces, please give me a good pleasure!"
Because he was too weak, his voice was a little weak, but he still had the aura of a general.
Mo Zeshen was not angry, but placed the bowl of ginseng soup on the cabinet beside him and sat back down.
Fang Quan's ancestral home was Yanling, and he was considered to be from a wealthy family. Later, he became a foreign official because of his family's decline, but his arrogance was still there.
To be able to serve as commander of the Army and Horses Division for so many years in a place like Nanzhou where he has no friends is not an ordinary person. What is needed is not only ability, but also brains and worldliness.
During his stay in Weinan, Mo Zeshen discovered that Fang Quan was an extraordinary person. Although he was a military general, he was very smooth and impeccable in his work. Emperor Kang Yuan liked him very much and wanted to transfer him back to Yanling. Fang Quan himself did not want to stay in this place. He once expressed that he still wanted to return to his ancestral home, Yanling.
Now that there is an opportunity for him to return to Yanling, I wonder if he is willing to cooperate.
Mo Zeshen leaned on the chair, looked at Fang Quan, and asked him: "Actually, Sir Fang, you don't have to be like this. You obey your father's orders, and I also obey your father's orders, but sometimes I can't help myself.
Fang Quan, who was on the bed, raised his head with confusion in his eyes, "I obey your Majesty's orders. I will cooperate with whomever your Majesty tells me to act. If your highness obeys your majesty, you should not arrest me."
Mo Zeshen pretended to be innocent, "I had no intention of arresting Master Fang. I just saw that Master Fang seemed to be ill, so I just brought him back for treatment."
He pointed in the direction of the door. "All your men have been cured. Now it's up to you. My princess has put the medicine in the ginseng soup. Just drink it and you'll be fine."
Fang Quan frowned, and his eyes immediately became incredulous.
He looked at Mo Zeshen, "Are you saying that we have all been drugged?"
Mo Zeshen nodded, with a meaningful smile in his eyes.
Fang Quan reached out to pick up the bowl on the cabinet beside him, hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and drank the whole ginseng soup.
He licked his chapped lips, as if the ginseng soup did not satisfy him.
After watching him drink the bowl of ginseng soup, Mo Ze breathed a deep sigh of relief.
He stood up and said to Fang Quan, "Master Fang, please rest first while I leave first."
With that said, Mo Zeshen took Yuan Lang and left the room.
Fang Quan was fooled!
This was just the first step in a plan to sow discord and make him suspicious.
It is impossible for so many people to be poisoned at once. Fang Quan will definitely think of the meat brought by Dong Chengbin and Ji Wuxuan yesterday, so it won't take much effort.
After Mo Zeshen left, Fang Quan, who was lying on the bed, began to think carefully about the food he had eaten these days.
He remembered that he didn't eat anything messy, and since so many soldiers were poisoned at the same time, it was probably not as simple as an accident.
Suddenly, he thought of the meat that Dong Chengbin and Ji Wuxuan brought yesterday.
Is there something wrong with the meat?
But why did Dong Chengbin and Ji Wuxuan attack them, and what did they want to do?
this point is very important.
He regretted it now, regretting that he acted without asking clearly.
If Ji Wuxuan and Dong Chengbin were plotting something, wouldn't he become an accomplice?
The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. Fang Quan wanted to go out and find Dong Chengbin or Ji Wuxuan immediately to find out, but now...
He suddenly felt that he had strength in his body, and his stomach didn't seem to hurt so much anymore.
Is this good?
That ginseng soup is quite magical, and Princess Chen’s medical skills are indeed superb.
…
Outside the yard, Lu Qingtang and Zeng Ke were cooking medicine.
The two medicine stoves were cooking together, and they were so busy that they didn't even have time to talk.
Lu Qingtang fanned the medicine stove and said to Zeng Ke: "Look clearly, don't get the dose wrong. It will be counterproductive if you don't do it right."
Zeng Ke stared at the small scale without even daring to blink. He said without raising his head: "I know, I'm relieved. I can see the scale accurately now."
Lu Qingtang calculated that time was almost up, so he poured the medicine in the medicine stove into the three bowls in front of him. Su Mu put the medicine bowl into the tray and carried it outside the yard.
A dozen soldiers lying outside the yard rushed forward. When they saw the three bowls of medicine, the fight became more intense.
Su Mu was frightened and turned around to retreat into the yard. She was afraid that the medicine bowl would be broken, so she had to be careful. Fortunately, Yu Bai was guarding him behind him, otherwise the medicine bowl would have been knocked over if it wasn't broken.
Yu Bai shouted angrily at the soldiers, "What are you fighting for! This is medicine, not gold. What are you fighting for! Our princess will prepare the medicine herself, and no one will be short of it. Come one by one!"
He pointed at the three of them casually with his hand, "You, you and you, the three of you are here to drink the medicine. After you drink it, go away and stand there!"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Su Mu tenderly, "Are you okay? They didn't hurt you, right?"
Su Mu's face turned red and he shook his head, "It's okay, brother Yu Bai."
She handed the medicine in her hand to Yu Bai, who distributed the medicine to the three people just designated.
The two returned to the yard and distributed the other three bowls of medicine poured out by Lu Qingtang to the other three people. Finally, when it was dark, these people all took the medicine.
Mo Zeshen was not idle either. After leaving the room where Fang Quan was imprisoned, he went to the room where Ji Wuxuan was imprisoned.
As soon as he arrived in front of the door, he heard Ji Wuxuan's howling and cursing.
Mo Ze frowned deeply, then pushed the door open and walked in. Yuan Lang, who was beside him, pinned Ji Wuxuan down and beat him violently.
