"I have always found it strange that the thief has kept so many treasures and only stole one pill. I'm afraid this pill is unusual, right?"

“…!”

Xue Yun's shoulders twitched slightly.

But she still said calmly: "No matter how unusual it is, it is just a medicine."

Chen Zixiao said, "I'm afraid that's not the case."

Xue Yun frowned slightly, looked up at Chen Zixiao, and said, "What does Lord Chen mean by this? Could it be that the officials will deceive the Lord?"

“…”

Chen Zixiao narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a while.

Then he said: "This time the Tuwei Mansion was stolen, only Doctor Xue, you were killed. There were neither witnesses nor any traces of the thief left in your room. The only clue is this medicine."

“…”

"This thief risked his head beheading and went to the Duwei Mansion to steal, just to steal this medicine. There are only two possibilities."

“Which two possibilities?”

"First, this medicine is priceless. After the thief stole it, he can make a big profit."

Xue Yun said calmly with cold eyes: "That's a pity. This first possibility is impossible."

"oh?"

"Although the medicinal materials used to refine this medicine are expensive, they are not as expensive as they are. In short, they are less than ten taels of silver. If the thief wants to make a fortune with this, he may have made a mistake."

"Then, there is only the second possibility."

"What is that?"

“That’s it”

Chen Zixiao's eyes flashed and looked straight into Xue Yun's eyes, saying word by word: "The thief may know the effectiveness of this medicine, and he just needs this medicine to cure diseases and save lives."

“…”

"So, I need Doctor Xue to tell me in detail about the medicinal properties and efficacy of the stolen medicine, so that we can follow this clue."

“…”

Xue Yun frowned.

She remembered it very clearly that the emperor asked the imperial concubine to pass the message and asked her to tell the people of the Duwei Mansion about theft. At the same time, he also explained that he only reported theft case. The matters about medicine and detoxification should be kept confidential and should not be known to others.

But now, what Chen Zixiao said

Just as Xue Yun was hesitating, Chen Zixiao looked at her and said, "Why, Lord Xue has refined his own pill, can't he understand the properties of the medicine?"

Xue Yun glanced at him again.

Then he said, "If you want to talk about the efficacy of the medicine, it is nothing more than just being clear and concentrating your mind and calming your energy. If you want to use this as a clue to investigate, then the official will wait for the result."

After saying that, he raised his hand and bowed, turned around and left.

Chen Zixiao stood there, looking at her back without saying a word.

Seeing this, Gu Ziyun and the others couldn't help but frown and said in a deep voice: "But a little imperial physician dares to be so arrogant in front of you, sir, that's too ignorant."

The two personal soldiers standing behind gently pulled Gu Ziyun's sleeves.

Gu Ziyun looked back at them: "Hmm?"

The personal soldier had always been following Chen Zixiao, and at this time he said softly: "Mr. Gu is careful. Although this imperial physician is not of high rank, he has been following the emperor these days, even when he went to patrol the Yulian River, he never left his steps."

"oh?"

"Just just now, even the concubine's attitude towards her was different from other people, I'm afraid."

Gu Ziyun frowned.

Although they are far away in the northwest, there is still wind blowing here from time to time in the capital, and they are a little aware of some rumors.

Especially this time, when the emperor came to Handongwei, even the imperial concubine was not accompanied by her, only she was with the emperor.

Is the rumors true?

Gu Ziyun thought carefully and looked at Chen Zixiao again: "Sir, do you still need to check this medicine?"

Chen Zixiao kept watching Xue Yun's back disappearing in front of him, then slowly turned around and said lightly: "She reported her loss, so she naturally needs to investigate. However, it is not that easy to investigate just by exploring the medicine. Besides, the war in Baihu City is what we should really do our best to deal with. Let the two of us stare at this matter."

“…”

"Of course, by the way, stare at her."

Gu Ziyun immediately understood.

He bowed and said, "I understand."

Then Chen Zixiao turned around and walked towards his room with his hands behind his back.

"what's on your mind?"

Zhu Feng and Nanyan led a large group of people to leave Handongwei, heading east, and the horse's hooves shook the ground slightly, raising smoke and dust in the sky.

I ran until the sun set and found a place with water to set up camp.

Countless bonfires burned, reflecting the sky that had begun to become dark. Zhu Feng and Yingshao and the others explained a few words. When they walked back, they saw Nan Yan sitting in front of the fire with a solemn expression on their faces.

It seems to be thinking about something.

Then he walked to her side and sat down, and asked, "Why are you looking listless?"

"Well?"

Nan Yan suddenly came to his senses and immediately said, "Is there any? I don't have one."

Zhu Feng said: "It's because I'm exhausted."

“…”

"I just said I won't let you come."

Nan Yan immediately said, "I'm fine, the emperor looks down on people too much. After riding a horse for so long, did the emperor hear me cry out for pain?"

Zhu Feng looked at her: "Then what were you thinking about in that expression just now?"

“…”

Nan Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and did not speak immediately.

She was actually thinking about what Xue Yun said to her when she left the Duwei Mansion.

She wanted to talk to herself alone, but didn't know what to say to herself.

About detoxification? Or about refining medicine?

Or something else important?

Nan Yan was a little hesitant about whether to tell Zhu Feng about this, but Xue Yun was not sure what he was going to say now. If something disturbed her, she would not say it.

From this point of view, let’s not talk about it for the time being.

After meeting Monk here, she will go back and see what she wants to say to herself. If she can tell Zhu Feng after deliberation, she will naturally not hide it.

So Nanyan just smiled and said, "It's nothing. I'm just thinking about what the emperor told me before. You told Arislan that you want to help him and Monk. Wouldn't he suspect that the emperor originally meant to be able to get along with others and gain profits?"

Zhu Feng glanced at her.

Then he said, "I told him that even if he would not make random guesses, including Monk, I would not hide it."

“…”

"With their nature, it is impossible to guess that I will be able to get along with others. The fact is that no matter how unwilling they are, they all need me at this time. Therefore, even if they know that I want to reap profits, they can only cut their flesh and feed the wolf."
