When Gu Yuqi and her party returned to the palace, they got the news that Zhao Wu had returned.
Gu Yuqi was anxious in her heart, and hurriedly blessed Yun Ke, and after getting Yun Ke's consent, she turned and left.
Looking at the back of Gu Yuqi leaving in a hurry. Yun Ke's heart skipped a beat, and he summoned Wang Yan, "Go and follow your empress, and secretly find out what Zhao Wu and your empress are talking about."
"Yes." Wang Yan accepted the order.
"Wait a minute." Yun Ke stopped Wang Yan, and said in a cold voice, "If you are discovered by the empress, you don't have to come back!"
"This subordinate understands!" Wang Yan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly left with his hands clapped.
When Zhao Wu came back this time, he really brought the person he said, and he was waiting at the back door of the palace.
Gu Yuqi thought about it, and felt that it was not convenient to speak in the palace, so she simply changed her clothes and quietly left the palace.
Gu Yuqi took her to Shadow Alley.
The man's real name was Hu Tanshan. He was from a small town in the suburbs of Beijing. He was an orphan. He joined the army when he was a teenager. He followed General Liang to the frontier for more than ten years. He was an old man of the Liang family army. After we broke up, he came back, drifted for a while, joined a merchant, changed his name, and lived an incognito life ever since.
But he has always been grateful for General Liang's photoshoot in the army, and he respects General Liang the most, and he still has a tablet of General Liang at home.
Met Gu Yuqi. Knowing that she is the granddaughter of General Liang, the tears could not stop falling down.
He bent his hands and knelt down in front of Gu Yuqi. "Miss, the general's death, the subordinates have always felt strange!"
Gu Yuqi helped him up, comforted him for a while, and served tea again, "Speak slowly, tell me all the doubts you know."
Hu Tanshan took a sip of tea and thought about it. Said slowly.
Everything is as he and Zhao Wu said at the beginning, General Liang was indeed hit by a poisoned arrow, but that kind of poison is commonly used by Rouran people. hinder.
Originally, after taking out the Broken Arrow and taking the medicine, it has obviously improved, and after a few days, I started to deal with military affairs.
Who knows that good times don't last forever, General Liang, who had obviously recovered, developed a fever one night, and then his body deteriorated day by day, day by day.
The medical officer changed several times, but General Liang did not see any improvement. Later, it became more and more severe, until after a period of time, it weakened and died.
"Are you sure the medicine is okay?" Gu Yuqi asked.
"Marquis Dingyuan Gu Huaizhong caught the medicine, and he boiled it himself." Hu Tanshan said, "Gu Huaizhong is the son-in-law of the general. Naturally, we all think he is trustworthy."
"Then why did you suspect him?" Gu Yuqi continued to ask.
"One time, when Gu Huaizhong went out to fight and didn't return, I went to grab the medicine myself and boiled it for the general. In those few days, the general improved." Hu Tanshan said, "he looked better, and his speech became stronger. Everyone guessed that the general should be getting better. Who knew that after Gu Huaizhong returned from victory and continued to brew the medicine, the general's health would be bad again. "
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but took a deep look at Gu Yuqi, "Marquis Dingyuan is the father of the young lady, and this subordinate has worked his ass off today. If the young lady wants to question the subordinate, the subordinate has nothing to say. But this matter has been held in the mind of the subordinates for so many years, and the subordinates are really afraid that the general will wrong Jiuquan."
"Don't be impatient." Gu Yuqi nodded and said, "I believe that Zhao Wu has already explained it to you on the way. In fact, we are also suspecting that Gu Huaizhong did some shameful things back then. My mother was killed because of him." It's easy. It's a pity that I didn't catch evidence that he framed my mother. But if I can find evidence that he framed my grandfather, I will definitely not let this kind of scum live freely in the world." Hong Ya said.
"Do you have evidence?" Gu Yuqi asked.
Hu Tanshan looked up at Zhao Wu, and Zhao Wu nodded.
Hu Tanshan thought for a while, as if he had made a big decision, "Here are three pieces of medicine dregs." Hu Tanshan said, "Now give it to the little lady."
After speaking, he got up, took out two paper packages from the bundle that was put aside, and handed them into Gu Yuqi's hands.
"This is something I kept in my mind back then." Hu Tanshan said to Gu Yuqi, "Since that time, I have been watching Gu Huaizhong grab the medicine, and I have also sent someone to spy on him, but what did I find? None, so I thought about it and quietly picked up the dregs he had buried. I also asked someone to check the dregs, and they were exactly the same as the ones on the prescription. Actually, I don’t know if this is evidence But I hope it will be useful in the hands of the little lady." Hu Tanshan said. "The one wrapped in white paper is the leftover medicine dregs I used back then, and the other two are from Gu Huaizhong. I brought them together, so the young lady can compare them."
"Thank you very much." Gu Yuqi's heart tightened suddenly, and she took what was handed over with both hands.
Gu Yuqi didn't dare to delay, and arranged for Hu Tanshan to temporarily live in Shadow Alley, and then got up and rushed to her drugstore by herself.
The old doctor from Kuizhou is now in the pharmacy.
Gu Yuqi invited the old doctor over and asked him to tell the difference between the three packs of medicine.
The old doctor compared it, but shook his head, "There is really no difference." The medicine dregs had dried up a long time ago, and now they have returned to the form of herbal medicine.
Gu Yuqi was a little disappointed, but when she thought that Hu Tanshan had also said it, he had also found someone to look at the medicine residue, and he didn't find anything wrong. I was a little relieved, but I was still not reconciled! The clue that was finally found, is it broken like this
"Otherwise, let's cook it again?" Gu Yuqi had a flash of inspiration, and asked the old doctor, "Will it be different after cooking?"
"You can give it a try." The old doctor nodded.
Gu Yuqi immediately went to the front to find three medicine stoves, put the medicine residues into the three casserole pots, filled a little water, and boiled them.
After a long time, Gu Yuqi was afraid that the effect of the medicine would be lost, so the cooking time was relatively longer.
After simmering for several hours, Gu Yuqi poured the concoction into three different porcelain bowls, and wrote notes on them for easy identification.
Gu Yuqi took some of the medicinal juice and handed it to the old doctor.
The old doctor tasted it with the tip of his tongue, shook his head, and then tasted another bowl, still shaking his head, Gu Yuqi sighed, it seems that the medicine is really all right
But when the old doctor tasted the third bowl, he suddenly frowned.
Gu Yuqi's heart suddenly raised, "What?"
"The taste of this bowl is different from the previous one." The old doctor said, he took another sip, then rinsed his mouth with clean water, went back and tasted the previous two bowls, and then turned towards Gu Yuqi. Clasping fists together, "Miss, this old man can be sure that there are ingredients in this bowl!"
"What kind of medicine is it?" Gu Yuqi asked, "The grass honey of the chilling grass from Rouran witch doctor?"
"Yes." The old doctor said, "Although the taste is very weak with age, you can still taste it!"
A trace of indifference flashed across Gu Yuqi's eyes, and she gave the old doctor a deep bow, "Thank you, old doctor, for your kindness. If Gu Yuqi can avenge her big revenge in the future, she will never forget the old doctor's kindness. During this time, please invite the old doctor Continue to live here."
"Where is it, I came from the border, and I am very happy to live in this capital. Miss is very kind to me. Don't worry, Miss, if I can use me, I will definitely do my best." The old doctor smiled.
After he withdrew, Gu Yuqi found three jars, poured out the remaining medicine juice, wrote a mark on it, and buried it under an old locust tree in the backyard.
Then the medicine dregs were filtered again, and the medicine dregs were packed separately in boxes and hidden.
She was worried about the safety of the old doctor here. If the news leaked out and Gu Huaizhong found out, the old doctor might be in danger of his life. So she simply asked Zhao Wu to stay in the pharmacy to take care of the old man while protecting his safety.
After Gu Yuqi had prepared everything, she calmed down a little, her eyes were already filled with coldness.
This time, she really won't make Gu Huaizhong and Liu Yue feel better.
After looking at it, it was already late, so Gu Yuqi left the medicine shop and walked towards the palace.
It's very late, I don't know what Yun Ke will say. She ran out without saying a word to him, and probably won't give her a good face when she goes back.
Gu Yuqi took a shortcut, turned around a small alley, and suddenly felt that someone was following her behind her.
She walked two steps quickly, and those people also quickened their pace. She deliberately slowed down, and those people also slowed down.
Gu Yuqi looked at a gap and stepped into a small alley.
The people behind chased after her, but Gu Yuqi was nowhere to be seen as soon as she entered the alley.
Several people looked at each other, just when they were a little dazed, Gu Yuqi suddenly fell from the sky, raised her hand and knocked down a person.
"Following me?" Gu Yuqi smiled coldly, and reprimanded softly, "Who told you to come here!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, those people grabbed the person who was knocked down by Gu Yuqi and ran away, Gu Yuqi chased after him.
Those people seemed to be in a panic, they jumped over the wall and jumped into the yard of a family, Gu Yuqi followed behind and jumped in too, who knew that once they jumped in, Gu Yuqi knew something was wrong, a huge net hit the sky and covered the sky, and immediately Cover Gu Yuqi.
The net seemed to be specially made, and Gu Yuqi couldn't break free at all.
Wang Yan followed Gu Yuqi all the way. Seeing the situation, he felt anxious. He didn't care if he would expose himself, so he immediately pulled out the saber from his waist and rushed out.
"Let go of our mother!" He yelled, "Bold, do you know who is being arrested?"
