A fish slipped through the net

The emperor thought for a while and did not object. He just said: "Okay, you go ahead and do it. Stabilize the morale of the army and prevent any more troubles."

With Mu Junyan's gentle words, some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others felt uncertain.

In fact, Wu Shixian's back was already soaked with sweat at this time. He deliberately found this time to report because he did not want the Queen Mother to be present.

Otherwise, the disappearance of the logistics soldiers and the assassination of the general's mansion would not have been revealed so easily.

Emperor Mu Junyan was a filial son. He basically listened to the Queen Mother in everything and rarely took the initiative to make decisions. When Fang was reported by the eunuch to Wu Shixian for an audience, he was lying on the bed of his favorite Concubine Yun. Although he was extremely reluctant to get up,

But he also knew that only a foolish king would ignore the courtier's request for an audience. Although he didn't have much enterprising spirit, he didn't want to be labeled as a foolish king, so he came in a hurry.

There is still some time before the morning court, and I just want to have breakfast with my mother. With this in mind, I ordered people to go to Cining Palace.

Queen Mother Fan had just finished dressing up when she heard the announcement that the emperor had arrived. She was quite surprised and rushed out to greet him and asked what had happened.

Mu Junyan greeted Mr. Fan, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing important." Then he sat down.

Mrs. Fan immediately ordered her personal steward, Maimai Baimei, to buy a bowl of purple rice porridge and some of the emperor's favorite side dishes. Mu Junyan tasted it and said with a smile: "The breakfast here is the best for me.

"

Mrs. Fan showed a pleased smile: "Eat more if you like it." She took a sip of porridge and sighed: "Being an emperor is both a mental job and a physical job. It's early in the morning and I haven't even gone to court yet.

, why did you come to me?"

Mu Junyan replied while eating: "It's not that Wu Shixian. He asked for a meeting early in the morning. I don't think it's a big deal. He made me nervous."

When Fan heard that it was Wu Shixian, she immediately cheered up: "Why did he come to you?"

"It's nothing more than a report that the real culprit of the poison has not been found, and my imperial brother, I don't know where he went, and the antidote has not been found yet." Mu Junyan said indifferently.

Mrs. Fan gave Mu Junyan some side dishes and told him to eat slowly, then asked: "Then General Wu, does he ask for anything from you?"

"He didn't ask for anything. He just requested that the people from Tianxiang Pavilion be put in prison to comfort the morale of the army." Mu Junyan also brought a dish to the Queen Mother: "Mother, this is delicious, you should also eat more."

Fan felt strange in his heart. Why did he go to the palace to report and immediately put the people in Tianxiang Pavilion into prison? Shouldn't his most anxious thing at the moment be Wu Gengming's antidote?

Thinking of this, Fan asked again: "The King of Yan is responsible for investigating this matter. If he doesn't stay in the military camp, what is he doing out there?"

"I heard that he went out to find an antidote." Mu Junyan wiped his mouth after eating and said with a smile: "Mother, it was you who had the uncanny ingenuity to throw this hot potato to him. I heard that if the fragrant poison were to be used before noon today,

Without an antidote, there is no cure. It seems that King Yan has been charged with incompetence."

"Your Majesty, don't be careless until the last moment." Fan felt worried in her heart: "If the real culprit of the poisoning in the Forbidden Army camp cannot be found this time, it will be a serious problem for us! Send someone to go

Ask around to find out who from Tianxiang Pavilion is involved in this case, we must investigate in detail!"

Mu Junyan repeatedly said yes. When he walked out of Cining Palace, it was already dawn and it was time to go to court.

At this time, Wu Shixian had ordered everyone in the Tianxiang Pavilion in the general camp to be thrown into prison. Although Pavilion Master Li, Bai Huijin and Ji Xuan were surprised, they had to accept the arrangement silently.

Only Qu Zhenzhen yelled at Wu Shixian, which later turned into a scolding, saying that he was seeking revenge and confusing right and wrong, but of course it was of no use in the end.

Wu Shixian had already prepared for the worst. He was about to lose his only son, but he could not lose military power and let the Wu family collapse from now on. So he could not let the palace find out that the missing person in the military camp was with him.

His concubine is related to this case.

He could only find someone to take the blame, and the people in Tianxiang Pavilion were ready candidates.

Unexpectedly, when he was almost desperate for the antidote, the little girl from Tianxiang Pavilion brought him hope again!

Mu Junze and Luo Wushuang rode two horses, black and white, as if they were saviors flying from the morning light. They went straight to the barracks kitchen. Mu Junze's face was calm, and Luo Wushuang was smiling, and his whole body was enveloped in the morning sun.

, shining brightly.

"Hurry and prepare firewood and water!" Luo Wushuang ordered the soldiers outside the camp as soon as he got off his horse, and he walked into the kitchen in a hurry.

Those soldiers didn't know Luo Wushuang, but somehow, looking at her decisive look, they felt that her order could not be refused, and they obeyed it immediately. When they got everything ready, they realized that it was poisoning

The brothers found the antidote and immediately went to report to General Wu.

Wu Shixian had received the news of King Yan's return and rushed over immediately, and Yuan Qiaonan followed immediately. He saw King Yan standing at the door of the kitchen, looking at Luo Wushuang who was busy inside.

Wu Shixian immediately knelt down to pay his respects to King Yan. When he heard that the antidote had been found, he was naturally extremely happy and thanked King Yan profusely. Yuan Qiaonan also congratulated General Wu and His Highness King Yan for the lives of more than ten soldiers of the Forbidden Army, and several

The military morale of thousands of people was finally stabilized.

King Yan didn't seem to hear it. He looked into the kitchen for a long time and then said: "Master Yuanxiang, go and see how the antidote is and whether the preparation method is appropriate. Give it to the soldiers as soon as possible!"

Yuan Qiaonan had long wanted to go and take a look, and immediately followed the order and quickly entered the kitchen.

Wu Shixian looked inside, raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment: "Your Highness, the person who poisoned him failed to be brought to justice, and the morale of the army is unstable. Just now, the emperor has ordered the old ministers to take the suspects in Tianxiang Pavilion into prison. The one named

Luo Wushuang's girl slipped through the trap because she went to find the medicine with Your Highness. Although the antidote has been found, the poisoning has not been found out yet, so I'm afraid we have to ask her to go to the prison and wait."

King Yan suddenly felt angry when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down and slowly turned around and said, "Your Majesty has given great consideration to the poisoning. Has General Wu found any clues in recent days?"

Wu Shixian did not want to tell Mu Junze about the disappearance of the logistics soldier and the assassination of the general's mansion, but he did not dare to hide it. He could only answer evasively: "Except that one logistics soldier has gone somewhere, there is no other discovery."

King Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wu Shixian, not intending to let him go. He continued to ask, "What do you mean I don't know where I went?"

Wu Shixian knew that this matter could not be hidden from the eyes of King Yan, so he could only continue to answer: "When we were checking people, we found that a logistics soldier was missing. And just yesterday, the General's Mansion was assassinated. After I discovered the assassin, he wanted to kill him and silence him.

, as a result, my concubine died on the spot in order to block a sword... The assassin was the missing logistics soldier. He was very skilled in martial arts. He injured several of my guards and then escaped..."
