On the first day, Shen Luo searched through all the medical books in Prince Rui's Mansion and finally found his master's notes on 'chasing life'.
However, the above only describes the symptoms of poisoners in detail, and briefly mentions the detoxification research. In the end, no detoxification formula is left.
The next day, Shen Luo prepared 'Chasing Life' based on the notes left by his master, but he was still at a loss for the detoxification formula.
Mo Junyang was nowhere to be found.
On the third day, the scandal spread in the streets that Prime Minister Qin had killed dozens of servants because of the stolen sticks in his house. The people condemned Prime Minister Qin for his cruelty and waste of human life.
That afternoon, Qin Shirong secretly went to the Fourth Prince's Mansion under cover, his face as serious as a dead mother.
Mo Junhao also heard the rumors on the street. Although he didn't believe it, he realized the seriousness of the problem - the theft of the Qin Mansion spread throughout the city in just half a day, and someone must be behind the scenes.
"What's missing from the house?"
Qin Shirong clenched his fists, paused for a moment, and then said with a grimace: "Everything?"
"What?" Mo Junhao didn't understand what the other party meant.
"When I went to the study room to check this morning, I found that the study room had been emptied out. All the documents, including the things hidden in the secret compartment, were gone."
Mo Junhao's eyes widened nervously, "How is this possible? Do you know who did it?"
"But that's the truth! I hid several secret compartments in the study, and all of them were cleared without exception! And the guards who kept watch at night didn't feel that anyone was sneaking in at all. They are all a bunch of trash!" Qin Shirong said when he mentioned what he saw in the morning. Now I still have the illusion that everything is a dream.
It disappeared silently, as if it was a ghost.
"All gone?" Mo Junhao narrowed his eyes when he heard this, showing a dangerous look, "What do you mean by "all gone"?"
As the most solid force in the four princes' faction, Qin Shirong's contact with him would only involve much more than everyone imagined.
And even now, Mo Junhao would not have any luck guessing that the thief was just a random thief.
Qin Shirong winced when Mo Junhao saw him, and said hesitantly: "It's nothing, just some accounts and stuff..."
He spoke very vaguely, but Mo Junhao knew that things were definitely not as simple as Qin Shirong said.
When Mo Junhao thought about the things he had given to Qin Shirong and the things Zeng Jin had done - he didn't know how many of them were recorded by Qin Shirong - he almost wanted to kill him.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, what should we do now?" Qin Shirong's old face was full of sorrow, and he obviously knew that he had got into big trouble this time.
"I would still be sitting here if I knew it?!" Although Mo Junhao was usually very polite to his father-in-law, this time he really couldn't put on a good face.
Qin Shirong did not dare to complain and said cautiously: "I have sent people to find out who was so bold as to sneak into the Qin Mansion to cause trouble. When the person is caught..."
Mo Junhao dismissed it and sneered: "Since he dares to do something, he will let you catch him. Or maybe he will be afraid of you now that you have given him the clue?"
"Him?" Qin Shirong murmured in confusion at first, then with a sharp look in his eyes, he asked: "His Highness already knows who did it? What does he want to do?"
Mo Junhao rubbed his forehead tiredly and snorted: "It's not your precious daughter who caused the trouble!"
"Yanyan?" Qin Shirong was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what Qin Yanyan had done, so he opened his mouth to argue: "What can she do as a woman? If Your Highness really finds this matter difficult, I will bear the responsibility independently and will never implicate Your Highness." .”
The implication of these words is that Mo Junhao is incompetent and puts the blame on women.
Mo Junhao didn't understand what he heard. He put a sneer on his face and pointed out unceremoniously: "If your daughter hadn't poisoned Shi Qingxue for nothing and Mo Junyang found out, you would have been targeted by Mo Junyang. ?"
No, it's not just about 'focusing' on this level. The current situation is almost equivalent to Mo Junyang putting a noose around Qin Shirong's neck. Mo Junyang only needs to exert a slight force and Qin Shirong will fall. The ship of the Three Princes Party is also likely to completely capsize due to loss of balance. .
Qin Shirong also realized that the matter might not be easy to handle, but he still subconsciously wanted to defend his daughter, "Yanyan has a simple mind. Maybe she was also wronged. Please, Your Highness..."
But Mo Junhao didn't want to listen to his ramblings, and said calmly: "The key now is probably not whether I believe it or not, but do you think your lame excuses can convince Mo Junyang?"
Seeing that Qin Shirong had stopped, he said quietly: "If Prime Minister Qin has such talk, it is better to persuade Concubine Qin to hand over the antidote, and maybe we can get those things back."
Qin Shirong immediately called Qin Yanyan out and asked him about the poisoning in detail.
Qin Yanyan was very unhappy with Mo Junhao's "snitching" and glared at him before slowly and roughly speaking about the matter.
He also said reluctantly: "Isn't it just Shi Liu Niang? What's so great about it? If you die, you will die. I don't believe that our huge Qin family will still be afraid... "
"Bastard!" Qin Shirong was so angry that he slapped him in the face, interrupting Qin Yanyan's arrogance.
Qin Yanyan covered her cheek in disbelief, her eyes immediately turned red, and she shouted in a crying voice: "Dad, you hit me? You actually hit me! You have never touched a finger on me since you were a child. , now you are beating your daughter for a bitch, you are really going too far!"
After all, she is the daughter he has loved for more than ten years. Qin Shirong was really distressed and angry. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly: "What do you know? Shi Liu Niang is really nothing, but now Mo Junyang has taken advantage of the Qin family , are you going to destroy the entire Qin family because of your jealousy?"
Qin Shirong was not as brainless as Qin Yanyan. He knew very well that the forces involved behind Shi Qingxue were definitely not as simple as Qin Yanyan said. Especially since the incident with the Zhao family a while ago was still fresh in his mind, he did not want to provoke him at all. Mo Junyang!
"How could it be? Isn't Mo Junyang just one of the prince's side..." Qin Yanyan said. She really didn't expect that Mo Junyang could actually do what he said.
Qin Shirong interrupted her impatiently and ordered bluntly: "Okay, I don't care how many thoughts you have in your heart. In short, you first take out the antidote to revive Shi Liuniang, and stabilize the big devil Mo Junyang." .”
Qin Yanyan no longer resisted getting the antidote excitedly, but stood still.
Qin Shirong had no choice but to persuade patiently: "I know you didn't like Liu Niang back then, but now is not the time for you to fool around. After His Highness has achieved great success, even if you want to cut her into pieces, no one will stop you. ,Did you hear that?"
Qin Yanyan's face turned pale, but he still didn't move.
"Yanyan!" Qin Shirong shouted in an accentuated tone.
Qin Yanyan raised his head to look at Qin Shirong and Mo Junhao, with fear on his face. He stammered for a long time and said, "But I don't have an antidote either!"
"What?"
"What?"
The two big men stood up and shouted at the same time. "I didn't know it would be like this, but the person who gave me 'Chasing Life' gave me three poisonous needles. He told me that there is no cure for 'Chasing Life', and there is no such thing as an antidote. I, I..." Qin Yanyan couldn't talk any more and tears fell heavily.
Qin Shirong fell back to his seat and murmured desperately: "It's over, it's over, it's really over this time!"
Shi Qingxue will undoubtedly die, and the Qin family will also be buried with him!
This was the first time Qin Yanyan saw his father so lost, and he panicked, "I really didn't expect it to be like this! Dad, I didn't mean it, I just wanted to teach Shi Qingxue a lesson..."
Mo Junhao rolled his eyes silently, thinking to himself, you didn't want to teach Shi Qingxue a lesson, you just wanted her life!
But now that the matter was over, Mo Junhao was too lazy to scold Qin Yanyan anymore and began to think about whether there were any other ways to save him.
Qin Shirong obviously thought so too. His square face lost the panic and turned into thoughtfulness.
After a while, a hint of coldness flashed through him, and he suddenly lowered his voice and said to Mo Junhao: "Your Highness, the matter is now over. I'm afraid our relationship with Mo Junyang is settled. Why not take advantage of the fact that Mo Junyang can't be distracted and everyone else is... When there is no reaction, just don’t do anything and just..."
Before Qin Shirong could reply, Mo Junhao's face turned dark and he interrupted hastily, "Prime Minister Qin! Please be careful what you say!"
Qin Shirong had no choice but to shut his mouth angrily, but there was still annoyance on his face, as if to say: If you don't do this, do you have a better way
Mo Junhao ignored him. At this time, Eunuch Liang, the young eunuch beside Emperor Wen, was welcomed into the room, saying that the emperor had urgently summoned His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince to the palace for an audience.
All three of them were shocked. Mo Junhao took out a purse from his arms and handed it to Eunuch Liang, "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch! Can I ask, little emperor, why father summoned me?"
"Don't dare, don't dare! This is the duty of a slave." Eunuch Liang did not dare to accept Mo Junhao's 'bribe'. He even took a few steps back and bowed to Mo Junhao, "It's not that I don't want to tell you." Your Majesty, Fourth Highness, it is true that His Majesty only said that you would be summoned to the palace and nothing else."
Mo Junhao still forced the purse into Eunuch Liang's hand and said with a smile: "No matter what, my father-in-law deserves this.
If you don’t accept it, you are looking down on Xiao Huang! "
"The servant thanks the Fourth Highness for the reward!" Eunuch Liang accepted it with sincerity, and reminded him in a flattering manner: "I saw that His Majesty's face seemed worried before I left the palace. Your Highness should probably be more careful."
"Thank you for the reminder, father-in-law!" Mo Junhao thanked him warmly, and then asked casually, "I wonder which ministers my father will receive today?"
Eunuch Liang answered truthfully: "Today is not a morning court day. Ministers would not dare to enter the palace at this time to disturb His Majesty. However, Prince Rui did enter the palace this morning."
"Oh!" Mo Junhao's eyes flashed and he quickly asked, "Do you know what he and his father said?"
"Today, His Majesty met with Prince Mo alone in the upper study. He did not allow servants to serve him. I don't know what the two nobles talked about. But they talked for a long time, almost half an hour." Eunuch Liang Accepting Mo Junhao's favor, he answered in full.
Seeing that the smile on Mo Junhao's face had disappeared and he felt ashamed for not being able to help Mo Junhao, he could only ask cautiously: "Your Majesty is urgently summoned. You see, now is..."
Mo Junhao smiled and said, "The little emperor will follow his father-in-law into the palace to meet his father."
After that, he didn't care how scared Qin Shirong and Qin Yanyan were now and left directly.
