Chapter 38 It's Her Again

"Bang!" A teacup shattered directly against the wall.

"Useless trash!" Wu Shixian was furious: "Keep my son waiting for three days? Give him an old thing to test the medicine?"

Several soldiers in the tent were silent, they all knew the old general's temper, he was usually reticent and serious, and no one dared to persuade him when he was angry.

"Go, find me one by one the outsiders who have entered and left the barracks within a month!" Wu Shixian said, the soldiers on standby rushed to do it as if they had received an amnesty order.

"You all go out!" Wu Shixian waved his hand, and the remaining soldiers also withdrew.

"Hey..." Wu Shixian sighed inaudibly, and sat down on the chair.What he worried about was not only his son, but also his Wu family army, and more importantly, the control of the forbidden army.

At that time, his Wu family and Ma family were both fighting the world for Emperor Taizu, and they felt like brothers. The Wu family army and the Ma family army even ate together in the same pot.But later, they secretly competed for the control of the Central Forbidden Army and for future generations to stay in this prosperous capital.

After the new emperor came to the throne, Wu Shixian almost exchanged his daughter's freedom for the trust of the queen mother and the emperor, and thus gained the status of the Wu family today.

Now that the imperial power is gradually gathering, although the daughter is expensive as a queen, she has no children. As a father, he knows the difficulties in the palace.He and his son have been working hard for the Wu family's army and for this forbidden army, trembling and trembling like walking on thin ice. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened in the barracks.

Presumably the queen mother and the emperor have already known the situation from Eunuch Li, so it is hard to guarantee that they will not make further fuss about this matter.

Wu Shixian closed his eyes and stroked his frown, as if he couldn't do what he wanted.

He didn't dare to slack off, and summoned Wu Gengming's personal soldiers, as well as other people from the same battalion of the poisoned soldiers.

He wants a retrial, but he doesn't believe that there won't be any clues.

In the Compassionate Ning Palace, Eunuch Li has already informed the situation in the barracks in detail.Mu Junyan was quite shocked: "You said that Imperial Physician Yu was poisoned by something?"

"I don't dare to talk about the imperial physician, I just report the truth." Eunuch Li replied cautiously.

Mu Junyan and the queen mother looked at each other and said, "Understood, you should step back first."

After Eunuch Li slowly withdrew, he closed the palace gate.Mu Junyan said anxiously: "Queen, this is not a trivial matter, someone is planning to attack my imperial army!"

"What does the emperor think?" Empress Dowager Fan took a sip of tea slowly and looked up at her son.

"I immediately sent Li Zhibin, Minister of Dali Temple, to the barracks to find out who poisoned him." Mu Junyan blurted out without thinking.

The queen mother lightly stroked the delicate armor on her little finger, smiled slightly, and whispered in her son's ear: "Emperor, how about this... What do you think?"

Mu Junyan nodded frequently while listening, and finally readily agreed: "Okay, I will do as my mother tells me!"

Fan smiled quite satisfied, not sure if it was because of his clever plan or because of his obedient son.

It's true that women are born politicians.Fan Shi has never read any books since she was a child, but she can use her intuition to lead the situation in the direction she wants.

The east is white and the dawn is blooming.

In the camp of the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, Wu Shixian stayed up all night.At this moment, he had already listened to the statements of the soldiers, and carefully sorted out the whereabouts of the soldiers before they were poisoned, but still found nothing for the time being.He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, always feeling as if something was missing.

"General, the list of all outsiders who have entered and exited the barracks recently has been sorted out, please have a look." The guard hurriedly came to report and presented a pamphlet with both hands.

Wu Shixian took it immediately, and looked at it column by column. After turning a few pages, he suddenly stopped and stared at one of the columns, which read: May [-]th, Tianxiang Pavilion Qu Zhenzhen and his party sent mosquito repellent incense to the warehouse.

"Mosquito repellent incense? Mosquito repellent incense..." Old General Wu frowned in thought, feeling like something was about to come out!

Suddenly, Wu Shixian remembered the statements of the soldiers just now, and found that the poisoned soldiers all had attacks while sleeping without exception!
"Come here, let's investigate whether the poisoned soldiers lighted mosquito repellent incense before going to bed!"

The news came quickly, just as Old General Wu expected, all the poisoned soldiers lit a plate of mosquito repellent incense before going to bed!

"Come on, hurry up and report to the emperor, and ask Yuxiangyuan to send someone to help investigate the case." Wu Shixian's slightly narrowed eyes revealed a dangerous atmosphere: "Also, quickly investigate the origin of Qu Zhenzhen in Tianxiang Pavilion. People, watch them all closely, don’t let any one go!”

Although he still doesn't understand why a incense shop commits such a crime of beheading, but he doesn't mind spending time to find out the truth.

The guard led the order to go out, Wu Shixian leaned on the grand teacher's chair and closed his eyes for a while, he was half asleep and half awake, when he heard the soldiers outside announcing "The king of Yan is here".Wu Shixian was puzzled, but he didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly got up and went out of the camp to meet him.

For this king of Yan, the old general admired and feared him.

When the former emperor died suddenly, the empress dowager took the emperor to the throne with a will.In the next few years, almost all the princes and daughters of the former emperor died and were convicted, only King Yan survived.Rumor has it that King Yan is indifferent and ruthless, wealthy, has military support in the capital and the south, and is extremely skilled in martial arts, so although he has no real power in the court, no one has dared to touch him so far.

Such a capable King Yan, Wu Shixian naturally did not dare to offend.

"I don't know that His Royal Highness King Yan is here, and there will be a long way to welcome him!" Wu Shixian was about to kneel down, but King Yan helped him up with one hand: "Excuse me, old general, let's go in and talk."

Feeling warm in Wu Shixian's heart, he immediately turned sideways to lead the way, and invited Yan Wang Mu Junze into the tent.

"Old General Wu, is the festival wind getting better?" Mu Junze asked lightly after sitting down.

Wu Shixian fearfully said, "I dare not bother Your Highness to be concerned. I have been paying attention to my diet and recuperating in the past six months, but I haven't had much illness."

"En." Mu Junze nodded slightly and said: "The emperor was very anxious when he learned about the situation in the army, so he immediately sent this king to share your worries...The emperor has worked hard, and I hope the general understands."

Wu Shixian immediately fell to his knees when he heard the words, and thanked him aloud: "Old minister, thank the emperor for his compassion!"

Mu Junze was silent for a moment, asked Wu Shixian to flatten himself, and asked, "I don't know how the young general is doing now?"

Wu Shixian reported the situation of Wu Gengming and the soldiers in detail, and also told Mu Junze all the latest discoveries.

"You mean, Tianxiang Pavilion is suspected?" Mu Junze frowned slightly.

"Yes!" Wu Shixian resolutely said: "Even the envoys of the Imperial Hospital couldn't find out what kind of poison was poisoned. It seems that the person who used the poison must not have tampered with food, but happened to be the mosquito repellent incense sent by Tianxiang Pavilion a few days ago. , the poisoned soldiers ordered it before going to bed!"

"Mosquito repellent incense?" Mu Junze tapped his index finger on the table, thinking to himself, "It's her again?"
