Eunuch Wu quickly agreed and asked the palace servants who led her out of the palace to carefully serve Manbao out of the palace.
Man Bao waited for Eunuch Wu to leave, then carried the medicine box and walked towards the gate of the East Palace. After leaving the gate, she said to the maid who led her out: "Sister, go back, I can walk the rest of the way by myself."
"Let the slaves escort you out of the palace."
Man Bao smiled and said: "It takes more than four quarters of an hour to go back and forth. I am familiar with this road, just walk along the palace wall. It is getting late now, and you will not be able to pass through the palace." It won't be long until the meal is ready, and the meal will be cold when my sister delivers it to me, and eating cold food on this day is not good for the stomach."
When the maid heard this, she hesitated for a moment before saluting, and said gratefully: "It's easy for Doctor Zhou to leave, so I'll go back first."
Man Bao nodded, watched her go with a smile, then turned to look at Master Tang who was walking slowly ahead, wishing he could walk in three steps.
She took the medicine box and ran up to chase him.
Master Tang stopped when he heard the sound of treading footsteps, and turned his head with a smile.
Man Bao ran up carrying the medicine box. The medicine box was too heavy and he couldn't help panting.
He smiled and asked, "Why don't you bring a medicine boy into the palace?"
Man Bao shook his head and said, "The risk is too great, I can do it myself."
Master Tang couldn't help but reached out to lift the medicine box for her, Man Bao didn't let go, thanked him for his kindness, and said that as long as she didn't run away with the medicine box, it was fine for her to carry it.
Master Tang smiled and let go, saying, "You are much more sensible now."
Man Bao smiled and asked curiously, "Why did Master Tang come to the East Palace?"
Master Tang smiled and said: "I heard that you are engaged to Bai Shan? You can call me senior brother together with him." Man Bao followed the good advice, "Brother Tang."
Master Tang smiled and nodded before answering her question, "I was ordered to come to the East Palace to check something."
Man Bao almost thought that something happened to the Crown Prince, but Master Tang said: "You have been in the palace, you should know about the Crown Prince's drunkenness before."
Man Bao nodded blankly.
"The prince's drink was changed. This is a major event. It was just a different kind of wine that day. If it is not found out, what if someone adds something to the wine in the future?"
Man Bao said: "Can the wine that has been added be delivered to the imperial court?"
Master Tang thought about it, it was really not easy, but of course he wanted to make the situation more serious now, so he said, "Who knows?"
He walked slowly along the city wall with Man Bao, and asked, "Has the prince's temper improved recently, and did he make things difficult for you?"
Man Bao shook his head, "Even if he has a bad temper, he rarely embarrasses me."
Master Tang couldn't figure out whether the prince had a good temper or a bad temper.
When will this little girl respond to inquiries
Master Tang turned to look at her.
Man Bao raised his head and gave him a naive smile, and asked, "Brother Tang, did you find out anything?"
Lord Tang shook his head, "It's been too long, and the people in the East Palace don't remember much. What can we find out in a short while? The prince still doesn't want to see me."
He laughed and said: "I still want to inquire with you, thinking that you often go in and out of the East Palace now, maybe I can hear some rumors."
Man Bao couldn't believe it, "Isn't the crown prince a victim? How would I know about harming the crown prince when I went in and out of the East Palace?"
Master Tang said: "The wine banquet venue has been withdrawn early. At that time, one of the palace attendants who served the wine died, and the others didn't know what to ask. All the people present at the meeting were princes and ministers. I have been prevaricated for the past two days. After thinking about it, it is still in the East Palace. There may be more clues."
"Why?"
"I can't find the perpetrator, so I can only search for the victim. After all, the enemy knows each other best. Besides, I think they can't do anything, and there is always another way."
Man Bao thought of the rooster gemstone. According to the crown prince, the gemstone was given by the people below to please him after the banquet, so...
Master Tang has been paying attention to Man Bao's expression, seeing her thoughtful look, he asked softly, "What do you remember?"
Just when Man Bao was about to speak, he suddenly woke up and shook his head again and again, "No, I didn't remember anything."
This is very tricky to hear.
Man Bao immediately tensed up when she met Mr. Tang's eyes that seemed to know everything. She felt that such a matter could not be discussed face to face with Mr. Tang.
So she tightened her hand holding the medicine box, and immediately said: "Master Tang, I have something to do, so I'll leave first, you go slowly."
Master Tang reached out and grabbed her back by the collar to prevent her from running away, and said, "You are really ruthless. You were a senior just now, but now you are Master Tang."
Man Bao said: "If you don't let go, I will go to Mrs. Tang when I leave the palace in a while."
Master Tang let go immediately, but quickly followed her pace, and said with a smile: "See, the patrolling guards in front will have to walk at least fifty-eight breaths before they meet us, wait for them to walk over, It will take one hundred and eighty breaths for the next group of guards to come, so you can tell me the secret quietly, and no one will know."
Man Bao shook his head, "There is no secret."
Master Tang smiled and said, "It's fine if you don't tell me, but we walked from the gate of the East Palace all the way to the gate of the palace. In the middle of more than two quarters of an hour, do you think others will believe that we didn't say anything?"
He said slowly: "You know, the relationship between the two of us is very deep. The Yizhou King case was a cover for you. Everyone in the capital knows that you have a good relationship with me and Changbo."
Man Bao couldn't help slowing down, and asked, "So you did it on purpose just now?"
Master Tang shook his head, "No, no, I'm walking slowly in the corridor. If you want to avoid me, just let the maid escort you out of the palace. After all, I'm a friend. How could I make things difficult for you?"
He said: "But you sent people away, ran up to call my senior brother, and asked for information from me. I told you everything I knew. You can't tell me nothing, right? You are too broken."
Man Bao felt that she was broken, but she always remembered how she felt. She still hadn't forgotten all the things Mr. Tang lured from her.
Man Bao looked at him suspiciously, "You really told me everything?"
"Not really," Master Tang said simply, "But there is too much information, what kind of news do you want to hear, just ask, and I will tell you."
Man Bao wanted to ask a lot of questions, but she didn't open her mouth immediately. Looking at the smiling Master Tang, she always felt that she could only ask one question. If she asked too many questions, she would definitely regret it today, so she thought about it. It took a while before he spoke, "It's really strange, the emperor didn't investigate this matter much before, why did you suddenly ask you to investigate this matter after half a month?"
"Good question," Master Tang said with a smile, "Because Your Majesty suspects that the third prince did not do this, so I want to know who did it."
