Medical Consort vs. Evil Sickish Prince - C304 Search the Mansion
Within the manor, Xiao Yi Mo couldn’t find his wangfei and was fuming. Recently, the disease had been rampant, and Gu Qing Ruo had left the manor frequently at this critical time. She didn’t know where she had gone to, but it was obvious that she was creating trouble for him.
She always said that she was going to take a look at a few shops and check the accounts, but in reality, Xiao Yi Mo knew that most of the businesses in the mansion were closed, so there was no need for her to run outside every day.
However, sometimes she would say that she was going to Cheng Yang Inn to accompany the bored Helian Shuang, which left Xiao Yimu with nothing to say and made his heart even more angry.
There were two patients in Cheng Yang Inn. Could it be that Princess Hua-Yang wanted to bring the disease back to the palace? He decided to wait for Gu Qingruo to come back. She would use any method she could muster to lock her up and prevent her from leaving the clan, even if it meant offending Princess Helian.
In a fit of rage, he heard that a guest had come to visit. He was rather polite when he spoke, but his attitude was very unyielding.
“What kind of person is so unyielding? Tell him to scram!”
“Mo’er, you have the status of a prince after all.” Mo’er, you have the status of a prince after all.
Xiao Lingbin’s voice suddenly rang out from outside the door. He wore a jade crown, black hair, and shoulder-length black shoulders. He wore a black crane feather cloak, and his face held a trace of a smile. His smile was even more frightening than his anger.
Although Xiao Lingbin was a strict and swift man, he had always been gentle towards his nephews. After all, one of them was going to be above him in the future.
It was obvious that the situation on this frosty face was extraordinary. It was no wonder that the pageboy from the rumors had said that he was unyielding.
Before Xiao Yi Mo’s stiff expression could recover, Xiao Yi Xiu’s white clothes appeared behind Xiao Ling Bin’s back. He was still dressed in a curvy robe with wide sleeves, which made the snow outside even colder.
Behind them were Dong Changen and Wu Teng. They looked at them respectfully, but their eyes were full of evil intentions.
Xiao Yi Mo instinctively sensed that something was amiss. He cupped his hands and bowed towards Xiao Yi Xiu as he smiled, “What kind of wind brought the fifteenth uncle and fifth brother here? “Please, please come in. Serve some tea.”
Xiao Lingbin continued to smile coldly. “There’s no need to be so polite if your uncle and nephew want to have a relationship. We’ve come on official business. We’ll have to ask the two of you to explain it to us.” He opened up a path and let Dong ChangEn and Wu Teng enter.
As a prince, he refused to offend the prince, yet he allowed a third rank official like himself to tug on the tiger’s whiskers? On second thought, if he seized this opportunity to win the position of King Yan, then in the future, there would no longer be any problems for King Mu. Why would he need to fear offending him?
With a smile on his face, he recounted what he had discovered earlier. “The justice courts only care about the trial, but they don’t care about the investigation. Sir Wu is in charge of investigating this matter.”
However, as the highest-ranking officer in the capital, he could not turn down the investigation process, so he could not be a good person anyway. Thus, he put on a straight face and said in a fair tone, “Please forgive me, Prince Mu. Since this matter was discovered by the people below, in order to prevent others from framing the Prince, I came here to seek an example to prove my innocence.”
Xiao Yi Mo was extremely furious and sneered, “What a great disgrace! If you believe your master to be innocent, why would you need the two princes to come over and search for me?”
He was quite shrewd, and with a sweep of his eyes, he knew that these people had not obtained the imperial edict. He wanted to search for the imperial edict, but he could not get the imperial edict in time.
“Third Imperial Brother, I am just a person without any duties. I am just here to verify. You don’t have to bother with me.” Xiao Yixiu stood there leisurely with his hands behind his back, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Xiao Yi Mo suddenly laughed, “Alright, since everyone has come out of the snow, we can’t leave empty-handed. Please!”
Xiao Yi Xiu smiled gently as he followed him into the manor.
The men that Wu Teng had brought with him were all from the Jing Zhao and Yamen. Under his command, they spread out in an orderly manner and entered every corner of the mansion to search.
“Uncle Fifteen, regardless of whether you are a prince or the head of the Ministry of Justice, you must have an imperial edict in order to search the prince’s manor. You must be extremely confident if you rely on your seniority to search the manor, right?” I have to say, if I can’t find it, what should I do? ”
“Let us face the Sage together. It shall be decided by royal brother.”
“Very good.” When he said these words, Xiao Yimo was only trying to put on a show of strength but not strength. It seemed like Xiao Yixiu was just an incriminator. However, how could he not know who was the mastermind behind all of this? And he also wanted Xiao Yi Xiu to make a move, so when did he fail? He couldn’t help but start to suspect everyone in his residence.
The most suspicious thing was Gu Qingruo. Although she was his main wife, she had already been centrifuged on. They seemed to be getting along well, but in the end, they were no longer as close as they used to be. However, he had been in and out of the Prince’s Mansion frequently during this period of time … The more Xiao Yi Mo thought about it, the more shocked he was.
As expected, after an hour of searching, someone rushed in with a box and reported, “Sir, this is the Xin Poria Cocos, which we found in the warehouse.”
“What is Xin Poria Cocos?” Naturally, Xiao Yi Mo didn’t understand the medicinal properties of these medicines and could only feel anger and shock. He had heard them talking about it earlier. Wasn’t the medicine barrel covered with aconite? Why is there another Xinfu Poria Cocos?
“In the past few days, Prince Mo’s side concubine gave him a recipe for the disease. This recipe will cause the poison in his body to flare up and cause severe injuries to him. This medicine was both rare and expensive. Even the various pharmacies in the capital had their products taken away. It was said that … They were all bought by the people from the Mu King’s Manor. ”
“What?” Xiao Yi Mo took a step forward and shouted, “Nonsense!”
“Unfortunately, this butler from the Prince’s Mansion has already been certified.” Wu Teng smiled as he raised his hand. Immediately, someone brought up a steward from the Royal Mansion with the surname Qin.
Butler Qin resisted as he walked, but he still cursed out loud and said carelessly, “I’m the steward of the Mu King’s Manor. How dare you be so rude to me!”
Hearing that the way he spoke didn’t seem like he was going to answer, Xiao Yi Mo was slightly relieved. He shouted, “Sir Wu, you have to have a basis for your words!”
“The owner of Ren Ji Medicine Shop in the capital said that Housekeeper Qin ordered all the goods from their store. Could it be that the two bosses have forged a fake?”
Wu Teng had come prepared, so how could he be stopped by a single sentence? With a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, someone had already led the shopkeepers from the two pharmacies over to testify.
“In that case, may I invite Prince Mu to follow this official?”
Xiao Yi Mo felt his hands turn cold as he looked at Xiao Ling Bin, “I want to enter the palace!”
The coldness on Xiao Lingbin’s face receded as he laughed, “Of course!”
He then turned his head and ordered Wu Teng in a low voice, “Keep a low profile. No one is allowed to brag until you have reached a conclusion.”
