Lao Cui went next door and said to Tang Ping, "It should be true."
Tang Ping said with some suspicion: "According to what he said, why didn't anyone keep an eye on him to prevent him from escaping?"
Lao Cui thought for a while: "Could it be that our skills are too good, so when we took people, the people watching didn't notice them?"
Tang Ping was stunned, it seemed that this was really possible!
Nanzhao is not as prosperous as Chang'an. At night, people are everywhere and they can't see their fingers. It's so dark that they go there to pick someone out, so it's hard to be discovered.
"This guy doesn't know who is behind the scenes. It seems that we can only alert the enemy now."
"Now let's see who is the most nervous about this matter, and you will know who is directing the cook to poison."
On the second day, the cook naturally did not go to work in the imperial dining room. Just as Tang Ping and others thought, the cook was more important than him in the imperial dining room. He has a lot.
The other cooks just thought he was in trouble or sick or something, so someone would naturally take over his job.
But on this day, Tang Ping and the others could clearly see that nothing was added to the flower cake.
The drone hovered over the king's palace and soon heard the roar inside.
"Where is my cake? This is not, this is not the cake I want. Change it for me. I want my usual cake!"
Tang Ping sighed. This king of Nanzhao could be considered a tycoon of his generation. While the Tang Dynasty continued to squeeze the space of Liuzhao, he was able to unify them.
But such a tycoon is still no match for such a harmful thing, which further strengthens his idea of eradicating it this time.
The king of Nanzhao was acting abnormally, and soon many guards, maids, and doctors rushed to his palace. Tang Ping and the others could not tell who was behind the scenes.
But it doesn't matter, I believe the other party will soon find out that the cook is missing.
Sure enough, soon a team of guards from the palace were dispatched to the cook's residence. After discovering that the cook was missing, they immediately sealed the gates of the capital of Nanzhao and started looking for someone.
"Did you see it?" Lao Cui pressed the cook's head against the crack of the window, pointed at the Nanzhao soldiers outside and said, "Now the whole city is looking for you. It is said that you poisoned His Majesty yesterday, so His Majesty is ill today. It's serious, but you fled out of fear of crime."
The cook's lips turned white with fear. He pulled Lao Cui's sleeve and said, "Help me, help me. I really didn't want to poison your majesty!"
"You should know where you are now, right?" Lao Cui asked.
The cook nodded. Although he had never been to this post house, he had lived in Nanzhao for so many years, and the country was not that big.
You can tell where you are just by looking out at the street.
But now there is only one distinguished guest living in this post house, and that is Tang Ping, the Duke of Tang Ping.
"It's good to know. Just stay there. If our Duke Ping needs you to testify, tell him everything you know honestly."
"Yes! Yes!" The cook nodded: "I said, whatever you want me to say, I will say it."
Just as he was talking, many soldiers and officials from Nanzhao came outside the post house.
Lao Du opened the door and looked at them coldly: "I heard that something happened in your country, and the whole city is searching for people. What? Are you planning to search even our place? Are you afraid that we are harboring criminals who poisoned your king? ?"
"General Du, that's not the case." The one who came up to speak was Liu Hong. He bowed and said, "This is our Lord Meng of Honglu Temple. We are here today to invite Dr. Li to the palace to treat our Majesty."
Tang Ping also walked out at this time, took out his ears and said: "Didn't you say you don't need it at the beginning? Our Divine Doctor Li and my second uncle treat each other with courtesy when they see him. Don't you think that when we get to Nanzhao Kingdom, you will be left alone?" Come and drink?"
At this time, it is natural to grasp the accent.
The cook would disappear sooner or later, but Tang Ping disappeared within a few days of his arrival.
If Tang Ping was the mastermind behind this, he would also doubt himself.
So the more I show that I don't care about their king's illness, the more suspicious the people behind the scenes will be.
"Ping Guo Gong, we have always wanted to ask Divine Doctor Li to come into the palace to treat His Majesty, but Zheng Luofeng controls the government and interferes with it! His Majesty is critically ill today, and we can't afford to delay it, so we have to go head-to-head with Zheng Luofeng. , and will definitely let Divine Doctor Li enter the palace."
This group of people obviously did not share the same interests with Zheng Luofeng. Some were really loyal to the royal family, while others were just trying to compete with Zheng Luofeng for power.
Of course, no matter what they thought, Tang Ping didn't care.
"Hey, Mr. Meng, have you made a mistake? Our Divine Doctor Li has no intention of entering the palace. Besides, medicine can't kill people. You didn't let us treat you earlier. Now the king is critically ill and he came to us. Just in case. If it’s not cured, wouldn’t it be our Divine Doctor Li who takes the blame?”
After Tang Ping finished speaking, he said to Lao Du: "Lao Du, see the guests off!"
Lao Du stopped them and drove them outside.
Lord Qingmeng of Honglu Temple did not expect Tang Ping to refuse so simply, and suddenly knelt down. As soon as he knelt down, the other officials who followed him also knelt down.
"Please also ask Divine Doctor Li from the Heavenly Kingdom to save our Majesty!"
"Please ask Divine Doctor Li to save our Majesty!"
TangPing smiled sarcastically and said to Li Shan: "There are moral kidnappings in this era, right?"
Li Shan smiled bitterly and said, "Are you trying to say that as long as you have no morals, you won't be kidnapped? Forget it, let's go!"
In his opinion, the king was also an innocent victim in this matter, but now he has become a tool for several forces to compete for power.
As a doctor, he still has to abide by the Hippocratic Oath he once took.
Tang Ping was originally just making a gesture, but now that these Nanzhao officials have gone to this step, even if he really doesn't want to go, he has been added to it by the other party.
Otherwise, rumors will spread that Duke Ping of the Tang Dynasty brought a miracle doctor, and even though all the officials of Nanzhao knelt down and begged, they were still unwilling to treat the king of Nanzhao.
Although Tang Ping didn't pay much attention to such rumors.
But there is really no need for this.
So he nodded and said to Lord Meng: "You don't have to be like this, Lord Meng. We will just follow you into the palace."
"Let's go, please invite Dr. Li into the palace!" Mr. Meng was helped up by Liu Hong and raised his arms.
The soldiers they brought were just for this moment, scattered on both sides to support Tang Ping and the others as they headed towards the imperial city.
The post house is right at the base of the imperial city, just a few steps away.
The guards of the imperial city had already received the news. When they saw Tang Ping and the others coming, a captain of the guard said, "What are you doing? Are you trying to force the palace? Master Bu Xie invites Duke Ping and Divine Doctor Li of the Tang Dynasty to enter the palace."
