Chapter 184 Tiger Pack
Chapter 184 Tiger Pack
"The emperor is looking for that divine doctor Lingjun to detoxify the queen. Tell those outside that no matter what method is used, he must not be allowed to enter the capital. Even if he is killed, the queen must not be allowed to breathe."
"Yes, slave, I'll do it now."
It was two days later that Shang Ruoyi and others learned that the queen had been poisoned.
He Jingheng held the note in his hand, frowning slightly.
Xu Ziluo drank the milk tea and smacked his lips: "You are indeed an extraordinary prince's consort. I've been craving for milk tea for a few days."
He Jinghen glanced at him and sneered, "What are you not greedy for?"
"Tsk, you're hurting my pride by saying that. I've traveled a lot, and I've seen a lot." Xu Ziluo said to Yun Tian at the door, "Go to your princess's shop and buy me another cup, and two snacks."
Yuntian looked at Xu Ziluo, who had just eaten three plates of snacks and a cup of milk tea. What was this Mr. Xu's stomach made of? He could still eat more.
Besides, he hasn’t paid for the milk tea and snacks just now!
He just bought them with his own monthly salary.
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you go?"
Yuntian thought of what the Crown Prince’s Consort said: Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly.
He mustered up his courage and said, "Mr. Xu, the milk tea and snacks just now cost four taels of silver in total. If you want another milk tea and snacks, it will cost three taels of silver. The total is seven taels of silver. You can just give me eight taels of silver in total."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ziluo almost choked to death on the milk tea he had just drunk.
"Ahem, what did you just say?"
"Eight ounces of silver."
"Why is it eight taels? Isn't it seven taels in total?"
"The remaining one tael is for my hard work."
Xu Ziluo looked at Yuntian in shock. After a while, he turned his gaze to He Jingheng: "You all made your fortune in Dingguo Palace this way, right?"
He Jingheng couldn't stop the corners of his lips from rising.
Xu Ziluo looked at Yuntian, took out some silver from his pocket and threw it to Yuntian: "Ten taels, no need to change."
Yuntian put the silver in his arms, searched for a while, took out two taels of silver and handed it to him: "The Crown Prince's Consort said that ill-gotten gains cannot be taken."
Ill-gotten gains?
The devil’s ill-gotten gains!
Whose money is said to be ill-gotten gains?
"I never carry small change with me." He waved his hand and said, "Consider this two taels of silver as a gift to you to buy books."
"Buying books?"
Xu Ziluo was a little impatient: "Read more books! Don't let your mouth let people know that you are not well-educated, and embarrass your master for nothing."
He Jingheng whispered, "Mr. Xu gave it to you, so take it. It's not easy to pluck feathers from this stingy person." He handed the note to Xu Ziluo, "The queen has been poisoned."
Xu Ziluo put away his cynical look and sat up straight: "Poisoned? What happened?"
"We don't know yet, but the poison must be very tricky, and even Dr. Jiang is helpless."
Xu Ziluo looked at his leg and said, "It seems that Divine Doctor Jiang's medical skills are not that good. He can't even cure the poison. It's a good thing you didn't let him treat your leg."
He Jingheng knew a little about Doctor Jiang's abilities.
Being called a miracle doctor by the four countries, it can be said that his medical skills are extremely high.
Now even he is helpless, so this poison must be extraordinary.
"Can you find the person who poisoned me?"
He Jingheng shook his head: "No."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, if you ask me, the guards in this palace are just eating for nothing. They can't even find the thief who poisoned me." He looked at the note again: "Divine Doctor Lingjun, most of the divine doctors in the world travel around and their whereabouts are unknown. Where can we find him in such a vast sea of people?"
Yun Tian, who had just come back from shopping, paused after hearing this. Lingjun, the miraculous doctor? Isn't she their prince's consort?
"However, the Queen's poisoning, you, the Ding Palace, shouldn't stand idly by!" Xu Ziluo looked at his face and whispered, "The Queen was kind to your Palace in the past!"
Upon hearing this, He Jingheng tightened the note in his hand and said nothing.
In the evening, he returned to the mansion and sat beside the bed with a serious expression.
Just as Xu Ziluo said, the queen has done favors for the Dingguo Palace. Now that she is poisoned, they have to save her. However, if they want to save her, Shang Ruoyi must go to the palace in person.
This poses a huge risk of exposure to her.
If people knew that she was the miracle doctor Lingjun, everything they were doing now might be discovered.
If this were the case, the century-old foundation of the Dingguo Palace might really be ruined.
At this moment, Shang Ruoyi's voice came: "What are you thinking about? You are so absent-minded."
He Jingheng looked at her, words on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't bring himself to speak.
It was the first time Shang Ruoyi saw him like this: "What happened?"
He sighed and handed her the note.
"The Queen is poisoned?" She didn't have any impression of this Queen. After all, she was a concubine's daughter and had no contact with people in the harem. But looking at He Jingheng's appearance, he seemed to want to save people.
"You want to save her?"
He Jingheng nodded: "The Queen once saved my father, so she can be considered a benefactor of our Dingguo Palace. Now her life is in danger, and we can't just stand by and watch her die."
At this moment, a tiger roar suddenly came from the woods in the east.
Shang Ruoyi's eyebrows moved, and she was overjoyed. She put on her cloak and ran straight to the woods in the east.
He Jingheng originally wanted to follow, but thinking that there were so many people in the mansion and it would be hard to see why, he had no choice but to sit in the wheelchair and let Yunqi push him out.
Shang Ruoyi came to the dense forest and saw Xiaobai standing on a stone. The moonlight enveloped its fur, creating a silver halo.
"noob!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaobai stood up, wagged his tail at her, his eyes full of human longing, and jumped to her side.
Shang Ruoyi touched his head and looked it over. Not finding any wounds, she slowly felt relieved.
At this moment, Xiaobai let out a low growl, and the next moment, Shang Ruoyi felt the breath of a ferocious beast coming towards her.
She turned around and saw a dozen large figures slowly walking towards her.
Tigers! Dozens of tigers!
Shang Ruoyi looked at Xiaobai and asked, "Did you bring all this back?"
Xiaobai nodded his head with an expression that looked like he was asking for praise.
Shang Ruoyi held its face with both hands and rubbed it for a long time: "You are so amazing!"
Xiaobai roared at the tigers, and they lay obediently on the ground, motionless, looking at Shang Ruoyi with expectation.
This human smells so good!
They couldn't help but want to get closer, but the boss had just warned them not to approach this human.
Shang Ruoyi walked up to them and took out a basin full of spiritual spring water.
The moment the spiritual spring water appeared, the eyes of more than a dozen tigers suddenly lit up.
That's the smell! That's the smell of this human being!
"Drink it!" Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "As long as you follow me, you can drink this every day."
Upon hearing this, the tigers rushed to the water basin to drink water.
Xiaobai looked at the group of inexperienced younger brothers with disdain. They had completely disgraced his tiger face.
