Chapter 138 The Seventh Lady 08

"That beauty's smile originated in the deep mountains of the southwest. This time, not only did she want to ban the golden ointment from the towns of the prefectures, but the marquis also wanted to cut off this object from the source. She never wanted to have an upset with the tribes of the southwest villages. Three days ago, the marquis was surrounded with people, and half of the secret guards were killed. The rest and the marquis were missing. The news came back from the southwest, and it was only at dawn that he arrived in the palace. His Majesty concealed the matter and ordered Ning Xiao to lead people to the southwest for rescue. Ning Xiao came to know me today."

After Eunuch Fu finished speaking worriedly, his pupils were panic-free, and Bo Ruoyou stood beside him and felt his chest hurt for a moment. No wonder he had not received a letter from Huo Weilou these days!

"But... Deputy Commander Ke Ning rushed to the southwest at this moment, and it took at least ten days to do it. How could it be done?" Bo Ruoyou spoke, his voice was hoarse and his fingertips were numb, and he seemed to have lost three souls and seven spirits.

Eunuch Fu was no better than her, and frowned and said, "This is the best strategy. I can only rush all night, but I can't count on Ning Xiao. I have to save myself in the southwest."

He looked at Bo Ruoyou, not knowing whether to say it to himself or to her, "The Marquis has never seen any storm in the past twenty years. Although there is some crisis this time, it is just a small scene. It doesn't matter. Maybe the Marquis has escaped now, but the news is slow. We will find out in a few days."

But Bo Ruoyou couldn't deceive himself. Huo Weilou had always been very well-organized and had a very decisive attitude. He didn't make any mistakes in his hands, but it was not a trivial matter if an accident occurred.

My throat was bitter and bitter. Bo Ruoyou looked at the vast sky with clear and refreshing autumn today, but his heart seemed to be like flying frost falling from the cold sky. "Will Deputy Commander Ning leave the south now?"

Eunuch Fu nodded, "It's impossible to delay, I'll leave the city now."

Bo Ruoyou's hand was tightly tucked in front of him, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. Not to mention that the capital was thousands of miles southwest, even Huo Weilou was close to him, so she, a little woman, couldn't help much.

Seeing her serious expression, Eunuch Fu couldn't help but explain: "Youyou, don't worry too much. Those people are local snakes, but in fact they are just a group of mobs. Even if the Marquis encounters danger for a moment, it will not be fatal."

Bo Ruoyou has never been to the southwest, but he has always heard that the southwest is full of dangerous peaks and ridges, with swamps and poisonous miasma. Many tribal villages have lived in seclusion for generations, and their military strategies are not as good as those of the court. However, they are familiar with the terrain and are kings, so they are not easy to break.

She took a deep breath, "Yes, the Marquis will be fine."

This was also to comfort himself. When the two of them calmed down and entered the door, Huo Qinghong also noticed that something was wrong. Looking at the expressions of the two, he asked again: "What are Ning Xiao doing in the mansion at this time? Is there any news in the southwest?"

Eunuch Fu was speechless for a moment, and Bo Ruoyou pursed his lips before he spoke. Huo Qinghong's expression suddenly changed slightly, "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

Eunuch Fu still wanted to make excuses, Bo Ruoyou said: "The Marquis was attacked in the southwest, and now he is missing. Deputy Commander Ning went out of the city to help the Marquis today."

Huo Qinghong was leaning on the guide pillow, and then he heard this and sat up straight, "What?"

Bo Ruoyou didn't say anything more, and Eunuch Fu sighed, "That's right, the news was delivered to His Majesty at dawn-"

"How could it be? My elder brother was attacked in the southwest?"

Eunuch Fu talked about the situation in the southwest again, but Huo Qinghong still couldn't believe it, "Can those mountain people trap my elder brother? I... I want to enter the palace, I want to see Your Majesty!"

Eunuch Fu said hoarsely: "Your Majesty intends to hide this matter, so the prince does not need to go to the palace to inquire. Moreover, we are in a hurry in the capital and cannot help the southwest. The prince should treat the disease well."

Huo Qinghong was stunned for a moment, and his body suddenly stopped, "Brother, he has experienced many battles, so he will definitely not be able to do anything, he will definitely not..."

Cheng Yunzhi didn't expect something to happen in Huo Weilou in the southwest, and his brows frowned tightly. He looked at Bo Ruoyou and saw that she was really disgusted. He sighed, "The mountain people in the southwest are good at using poison, and some local military armor are not as easy to deal with as ordinary villagers. The marquis may be trapped because of this."

Huo Qinghong clenched his fists and looked at Eunuch Fu, "Father-in-law, I want to go to the southwest too!"

Eunuch Fu sighed, "What are the princess going to the southwest to do? Now that something has happened to the marquis, please don't let us worry about it."

Huo Qinghong wanted to speak but stopped, but he thought that he was useless and had to lower his head dejectedly. Cheng Yunzhi put away the medical box and went to ask Eunuch Fu, "Can the eldest princess be in peace in the near future?"

Eunuch Fu hurriedly replied, "Mr. I'm worried. It's not a good thing a few days ago. I took medicine these days and I've been quieter."

Cheng Yunzhi said: "Youyou mentioned it to me, and I also said that the Marquis returned to the mansion and asked for the eldest princess's pulse. Now it's safe. If you get sick again in the past few days, you can ask me to go to your house to find me."

Eunuch Fu thanked him naturally, "When the illness was the most severe, the eldest princess was tortured and she has improved a lot in the past few days."

Cheng Yunzhi felt a little relieved, "It would be nothing if he just forgot about the past, he would be afraid that he would be crazy and abnormal for many years and would really hurt his body."

Eunuch Fu should have come back to her senses and thought about it. If the eldest princess just can't remember things, or has lost her memory, it's nothing to be coaxed by her servants all day long, but she is now in a state of disorder and crazy but hurts herself too much.

When the father and daughter left the Marquis' Mansion, Bo Ruoyou still had a serious eyebrows and got on the carriage. Cheng Yunzhi comforted him: "Marquis Wu Zhao cannot easily break into the southwest. Don't scare yourself."

Bo Ruoyou felt a little cold in his hands and feet, "Don't worry, I know."

"Stay calm down and wait for news, auspicious people will have their own appearance."

Bo Ruoyou responded, but he still felt that Chongshi was pressing against his heart and couldn't breathe. When he returned home, he was still a little taciturn. Cheng Yunzhi sighed but never advised him too much.

By dinner, Bo Ruoyou's expression returned to his original state, and helped Cheng Yunzhi write a prescription to send to the Chengnan Dingying Camp. There were many patients in the disease camp and each had different symptoms. Cheng Yunzhi often went to the disease camp and saw more, so the prescription was changed very quickly. It helped half an hour to Bo Ruoyou just took a break.

The next morning, Bo Ruoyou rushed to Yingmao in the yamen. When he arrived at the yamen, he saw someone who shouldn't have appeared in the yamen. It was Hu Changqing who was waiting outside the yamen office. Seeing Bo Ruoyou, Hu Changqing looked a little uncomfortable, but he took the initiative to ask for his wishes for the first time. Bo Ruoyou looked at him up and down for a moment, "Holy coroner's poison is cured?"

Hu Changqing shook his head, and under Bo Ruoyou's eyes, he didn't know where to put his hands. "It's still... not finished yet. I'm still in the disease camp in the south of the city, so I'm also helping with it in my daily life. Today I'm here to plead with mercy."

Bo Ruoyou looked puzzled, and Hu Changqing said bitterly: "So he was slacking off from work, and poisoning delayed his responsibilities. According to the rules of the yamen, he would be dismissed. Two months ago, I was willing to be tolerant, but now I have not completely withdrawn from drug addiction. I want to help, but I can't tolerate it, but... I still want to give my adult a few more hours."

Bo Ruoyou didn't know how to speak for a moment. At this time, Sun Zhao followed Wu Xiang out of the back hall. Seeing Hu Changqing, Sun Zhao sighed, "Xiao Hu, at most, you will be given another month. The yamen will watch it, and it will not be decent."

Hu Changqing immediately showed great joy and thanked him again. Because he was going to return to the disease camp in the south of the city, he quickly said goodbye and left. Wu Xiang looked at his back and sighed, "After this incident, he has become more steady."

Sun Zhao was a little helpless, "I used to be a coroner, but now I know that I have an errand in the yamen." He said that, and stared at Wu Xiang again, "You should look at him. It's hard to quit the drug addiction of this golden ointment, so don't make any more trouble."

Wu Xiang quickly responded. Sun Zhao looked at Bo Ruoyou, his eyes slightly wanting to speak but stop. Seeing him like this, Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but remember that when Sun Zhao looked at her the day before yesterday, she moved slightly, "Do you know something happened in the southwest?"

Sun Zhao looked surprised, and Bo Ruoyou said, "I went to the Marquis' Mansion yesterday."

Sun Zhao suddenly realized, looked around again, and whispered: "The Marquis went to the southwest this time. Many people were afraid of the timid methods. The timid surrendered early in the morning. However, some people who regard this business as their lifeline have to be the desperate. I know that the Marquis has encountered several assassinations."

Another cold suffocation spread across Bo Ruoyou's heart, and a light sorrow was also covered in his eyebrows and eyes, but he just said, "The Marquis must be a lucky person and a heavenly person."

She was much calmer than Sun Zhao imagined, so he comforted him a few more words and talked about the case of the temple with Wu Xiang. Wu Xiang mentioned the interrogation last night, "The other two nuns have already finished the trial, but they are speaking neatly. One of them knows more about the Liu family because they are favored by the second master of the Liu family. She said something that surprised me."

Bo Ruoyou looked at Wu Xiang, and Wu Xiang said, "She said that the lady of the Liu family was actually expelled from the genealogy a few years ago."

"I was expelled from the genealogy a few years ago?" Bo Ruoyou was very surprised. "But this incident happened only in May last year. Why did she expel her from the genealogy a few years ago? She is the only bloodline of the fifth family of the Liu family."

Wu Xiang shook his head, "I don't know whether this is true or not. I still need to verify it. I plan to go to the Liu family later. Do you want to go with you?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded naturally, and she couldn't help but stare and ponder. At first, when she guessed the dirty connection between Shuiyue'an and the Liu family, she and Wu Xiang both suspected that something happened to Liu Yao might be related to several cousins, but later they learned that the only second master of the Liu family was good at this. Since the Liu family is not everyone who is shameless, the earlier speculation was a little rude.

Now that I learned that Liu Yao was expelled from the family tree many years ago, Bo Ruoyou thought of it in his heart.
