The visitor was none other than Lu Ce. He was wearing the same long gown he wore when he was in Daqi, and he still looked as elegant and suave as before.
He came forward and asked Wen Qingzhu and Zuo Bingning to sit down.
Wen Qingzhu followed suit and sat down, but Zuo Bingning was angry and stood still.
Seeing this situation, Wen Qingzhu felt helpless: "You can solve it yourself."
Lu Ce turned to look at Zuo Bingning, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down."
With just such a word, Zuo Bingning's anger immediately disappeared, and she sat down unsatisfied.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly became more and more speechless, but luckily she didn't get involved.
After sitting down, Lu Ce poured tea for her and Zuo Binning.
Wen Qingzhu picked it up and tasted it, and his eyes lit up. It was the best tea in Lingcheng!
Looking up, Lu Ce had a smile in his eyes.
Wen Qingzhu put down his tea cup and praised: "Young Master Lu is still the same Young Master Lu!"
"You're all right, sir." Lu Ce smiled lightly.
After exchanging pleasantries, Wen Qingzhu fell silent. After thinking for a long time, he asked: "Is your coming here related to Ruirui?"
Lu Ce's expression remained unchanged, he just took a sip of tea and nodded slowly.
Wen Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief. Since it was related to Lu Ce's sister, she felt relieved.
But Lu Ce's next words made Wen Qingzhu's heart skip a beat: "Ruirui's matter also has something to do with uncle."
"Huh?" Wen Qingzhu was startled and asked after a long time, "Are you sure? You are not being used by Wang Tu?"
Wen Qingzhu has been asking about Lu Ce's sudden rebellion.
From Dingyuan to the Xiongnu, she inquired about a lot of things and finally figured out the clues.
For Lu Ce to make such a big decision, it must have something to do with his sister.
Lu Ce didn't speak, with a faint smile on his lips. Wen Qingzhu didn't know how to persuade him.
She has always believed that even if she is not the person involved, she actually has no position to stand and speak without having her back hurt.
Wen Qingzhu held back, but Zuo Binning quit: "I also know something about Ruirui. Back then, Uncle Lu went out to save people regardless of danger! How can you blame Uncle Lu!"
Lu Ce didn't even look at her, and remained quiet without speaking.
Wen Qingzhu reached out and gently patted the back of Zuo Bingning's hand, signaling her not to get excited.
Zuo Bingning looked at Lu Ce, and there was an indescribable feeling on his back. Zuo Bingning felt that she had done something wrong.
"It's okay. Lu Ce knows that you have no bad intentions and won't blame you." Wen Qingzhu was a little troubled. In this regard, Zuo Binning really didn't know that Lu Ce was worried.
There was silence in the room. Wen Qingzhu thought of the purpose of his visit this time and took the initiative to speak: "What happened in the palace last night?"
"Isn't that what you originally wanted to ask?" Lu Ce asked with certainty.
Wen Qingzhu laughed: "As expected, I can't hide it from you, but since you are sure that the reason why you came here is Ruirui, I won't ask. If I were you, I would definitely do the same."
Lu Ce raised his head and looked at her steadily: "You..."
Wen Qingzhu smiled and picked up the teacup: "Don't be moved, I just think we are the same kind of people."
Hearing this, Lu Ce suddenly shook his head. He suddenly thought wrong.
Wen Qingzhu was always the same Wen Qingzhu.
Whether she is a general's wife, a marquise, or a regent, she has always remained the same.
Zuo Bingning looked at their explanations, feeling envious and blaming herself.
She is obviously not as good as Wen Qingzhu, but she likes to take the lead in everything, which makes Lu Ce dislike her for nothing.
Wen Qingzhu also noticed Zuo Bingning's situation. Thinking of Zuotang in Dingyuan, he said to Lu Ce: "In a few days, I plan to send Bingning away from here. If possible, can you help me."
Lu Ce immediately understood what she meant: "Is there something going on in Dingyuan?"
"Well, according to my estimation, not only Dingyuan, but also Yunzhou and Dezhou will be implicated." Wen Qingzhu felt extremely heavy in his heart when he thought about the tobacco leaves.
The meteor shower two days ago and the dream she had were not good signs.
"Okay!" Lu Ce nodded in agreement.
The two people looked at each other and seemed to have a clear understanding of each other.
There was another silence, and Lu Ce slowly said: "The second prince has a concubine named Qi Ren, who killed a general under the second prince last night. Because of this incident, there was a lot of commotion in the palace, but it didn't last long. Surprisingly, the second prince didn’t touch that woman.”
"You don't know who that woman is?" Wen Qingzhu was extremely surprised. Lu Ce had been here for a long time.
Lu Ce shook his head: "Although the second prince respects the people of Wuzhu Palace, he really dislikes them. He is more wary of people from Wuzhu Palace than he is of the fourth and sixth princes. That woman He never showed up, and I have no definite evidence on my side.”
"Wait!" Wen Qingzhu stopped him, "You mean you guessed her identity?"
Lu Ce replied: "Well, weren't you chasing Xia Feiyuan earlier? I suspect that the Qi Ren woman is her, but I still feel something is wrong. According to the information you sent, the person Xia Feiyuan took refuge in should be the fourth prince. That’s it!”
Wen Qingzhu was silent for a moment, recalling Xia Feiyuan's deeds in his mind.
This woman is not ordinary powerful, she can take refuge in anyone who is beneficial to her.
"What do you think about me going to see the second prince?" Wen Qingzhu wanted to make sure that if that woman really wanted Xia Feiyuan, she would never let Xia Feiyuan go this time.
Lu Ce considered it carefully and said: "The second prince is simple and simple, but because of this, he trusts his own intuition, which makes it easier for him to discover your flaws."
After thinking for a moment, Wen Qingzhu made a decision: "Then I'll wait."
Looking back at the door, he seemed to be saying to himself: "Aquila City will always need me."
When Lu Ce heard that people in Tianying City kept having diarrhea and fatigue and various symptoms this morning, he knew that Wen Qingzhu must have done something.
However, there were not many traces left last night. Lu Ce was a little suspicious that Wen Qingzhu did not handle this matter personally.
After asking all the questions that needed to be asked, Wen Qingzhu finally felt at peace.
She has always been reassured by Lu Ce's character.
Regarding the second prince's concubine, Wen Qingzhu quickly reached an agreement with him and looked for opportunities to cooperate with each other.
Finally, Lu Ce asked: "I heard that you are looking for a Qi Ren woman?"
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu immediately took out a portrait and handed it to Lu Ce: "This is Tu Dan's mother. She was originally from Tail Village. She was taken away. This time I came to Xiongnu to help Tu Dan find his mother. One of the purposes.”
"Tail Village." Lu Ce thought for a moment and thought of a name, "Gu Kuo belongs to the fourth prince. The massacre of Tail Village was a message sent by the fourth prince. The second prince sent people there to test the Lu family army. Bottom line.”
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "I know."
She didn't ask the rest: What role did you play in it
After leaving the city, Wen Qingzhu rewarded the waiter heavily.
As soon as I returned to the tent, someone came over to seek medical advice.
The person seeking medical treatment was known to the waiter and was also a broker.
He held his stomach and shouted quickly: "Sir, can you help me? I can pay!"
As he said this, he took out a piece of gold.
Wen Qingzhu felt a little strange. Just as he was hesitating, the man took out another piece of broken gold.
When it came to this, the waiter helped and said: "Sir, he is also my friend, please help him."
Thinking of his purpose, Wen Qingzhu nodded and carried them in.
After the consultation, Wen Qingzhu frowned: This is not the poison administered by Feitian and Gansong!
But this person's poison is also very simple. It's just ordinary scorpion poison, diluted very widely with water, so the reaction is not big.
Wen Qingzhu asked Tudan to get the goat's milk, then turned around and gave him another piece of Panax notoginseng: "Take this back and cook it!"
The waiter’s friend was startled: “Is that it?”
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "You should have diluted scorpion poison in the water you drank or the food you ate. This is very common in the grasslands. Just be careful."
"No! No! Scorpion poison—" the man quickly denied it. Suddenly, he stood up and said in disbelief, "Could it be that magic medicine that can cure all diseases!"
He hurriedly said goodbye and went back, saying he would come back later.
Wen Qingzhu turned to look at the waiter: "Do you still have a magic medicine that can cure all diseases?"
The waiter was startled: "Is there such a medicine?"
Wen Qingzhu looked at him without saying anything, thinking about what happened just now, feeling a little strange.
"That's right!" The waiter remembered something and said quickly, "I remembered that several doctors seemed to have come here these days, bringing with them a magic medicine that they said could cure all diseases. I have always been helping you, so I just bought the magic medicine, but I didn’t have time to drink it.”
Wen Qingzhu frowned: "Aren't you a handful of doctors? Why are there so many suddenly?"
The waiter also said he didn't understand: "I don't know either. I don't have time to pay attention to other things these days. I am doing things for adults."
Wen Qingzhu smiled, this flattery really came at the right time.
But the question should still be asked: "From now on, if you do things for me, I will give you five ingots of gold every month. What do you think?"
"Five... five gold deposits? Or every month!" The waiter couldn't control the smile on his face, he was so happy. Is this a hug
Wen Qingzhu waited until he was happy and then gave him some guidance: "From now on, you have to do things, but you also have to look in all directions and listen to your surroundings, you know?"
"I understand, I understand!" The waiter agreed happily,
Wen Qingzhu asked him to inquire about the magic medicine, and the waiter left.
Not long after, Waiter's friend came back carrying a clay pot.
When he saw that the waiter was not there, he was still nervous: "He, is he gone?"
"Don't worry, he will be back soon. Show me your magic medicine." Wen Qingzhu stood up and asked him to put the earthen pot on the table.
The man put it down as he was told, and Wen Qingzhu picked it up and filled a tea bowl.
As soon as I came out, I smelled a strange smell.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and took the silver needle again. He tried it and found that it did not turn black.
She felt very strange. The scorpion poison would definitely turn the silver needle black, but now her silver needle had no reaction.
Isn't it scorpion poison
After thinking for a long time, Wen Qingzhu decided to try it himself.
She stretched out her finger and tapped it in the water bowl. As soon as she took it out, the waiter quickly stopped her: "Wait! This is poisonous!"
"It's okay." Wen Qingzhu stuck out the tip of his tongue and tasted it.
Not poisonous
Wen Qingzhu was silent for a while, then turned to him and said, "This is not poisonous."
Unexpectedly, the waiter's friend quickly shook his head: "Impossible! I just went back and told everyone not to drink this, and the situation has indeed improved. Those who didn't drink it are completely fine!"
Wen Qingzhu frowned, there was absolutely no problem with this so-called miracle medicine.
Just where is the problem
She asked about their diet and daily life in detail, and soon discovered something unusual.
Wen Qingzhu raised his hand: "Wait a minute, you said you have to pick wild vegetables every day?"
"Well, this is what the chef in the palace said. It was said by a very powerful doctor to the princes. We heard it and followed it. Is there any problem?"
Wen Qingzhu thought for a while: "What kind of dishes do you eat?"
"Kudzu root, ground green—"
Wen Qingzhu stopped him immediately: "You said there is green earth?"
