Shangguan Jie was not surprised by Fu Guan's answer.But the expression on his face was a bit disappointed: "Yes, the official understands. The prince really should think about it carefully, but the official is impatient."

As he spoke, he paused slightly and then added: "But since we are talking about medicinal materials...what is the origin of the 'Lost Soul Grass' found on the Qiu family today?"

Shangguan Jie made some associations in his mind: "The name 'Lost Soul Grass' sounds very familiar. It seems like it appeared many years ago..." He smiled sheepishly: "Xiaguan I really can’t remember clearly.”

Immediately afterwards, he asked: "I see that the prince and princess recognize the object. I wonder if I can help you clear up my doubts. What kind of medicine is the 'Lost Soul Grass'?"

"Lost Soul Grass is a poison that kills people." Lou Xiyue said: "It also wreaked havoc in the Daxuan Dynasty many years ago. As for why it disappeared later, this prince should know better."

Shangguan Jie's face was full of confusion: "It appeared and then disappeared. Could it be that it was banned by the imperial court?"

Fu Guan said slowly: "About the fact that Lost Soul Grass is banned..."

Before he finished speaking, a message from the servant suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Princess, and Master, the palace has sent someone, saying they have something to do and want to see the prince."

The words were suddenly interrupted, and several people had to pause hastily.

Shangguan stood up and opened the door. Fu Guan turned sideways and asked the boy outside the door: "Who is here? Can you tell me what the reason is?"

The young man bent down and saluted, and said, "Go back to your lord, I have brought you in -"

As he spoke, he stepped aside and saw a young man coming up from behind: "I have seen the prince."

"Xuan Yi?" Fu Guan stood up: "When did you two brothers return to Beijing?"

Xuan Yi grinned and replied: "To tell you the truth, we two brothers have only arrived in the capital today not long ago. Everything you asked your subordinates to do has been done. Is it just the result... This result is still needed Explain everything carefully to the prince."

His eyes moved and he saw Lou Xiyue beside him, and said hello, and then said: "My subordinates thought that the prince must want to know the situation after the epidemic in Jiangnan, so he hurried to see you.

"I happened to meet the eldest princess's nanny again at the mansion. The aunt sent word that the eldest princess had a family matter to discuss with the prince, so she sent her subordinates to invite the prince to come back to the mansion."

"I understand." Fu Dian nodded and said clearly.

Brothers Xuan Miao and Xuan Yi have both returned to Beijing, and there is probably news about the whereabouts of the head of Wuji Palace and the medicine merchant Qi Lian.But judging by the meaning behind Xuan Yi's words, the result might not be satisfactory.

What the situation is, we still have to go back home to discuss it in detail.

So, Fu Guan turned to look at Shangguan Jie and said, "That's all for today. I already know all of Shangguan's intentions. Please wait a moment, and the king will give you a specific answer tomorrow."

Shangguan Jie knew that he would not be able to get a definite result today, but fortunately, with Fu Guan's promise, he felt at ease.

He said: "I understand. I didn't entertain you well today. I ask the prince and princess to forgive me. If I get a chance next time, I will prepare a banquet and treat you well." With that, Shangguan Jie led Fu Guan and Lou Xiyue together. Delivered outside the house.

Lou Xiyue and Fu Guanxiang got on the carriage.

"Xiaguan, let's see the prince and princess out of this street." Shangguan Jie pointed to the street in front and said.

Fu Guan opened the curtain and said: "Sir Shangguan, there is no need to see me off. Thank you very much for your hospitality today. By the way -" he said: "If you want to ask about the 'Lost Soul Grass', you can announce the regulations in the big hall by yourself." Look for it in the "Medicinal Materials Ban", and you will understand it by then."

After saying that, he turned back and got into the carriage.

Xuan Yi held the reins, and the group returned to the palace along the street.

Shangguan Jie stood there. He thought about what Fu Guan had just said and immediately reacted. Then he leaned down and bowed down: "Xiaoguan, I send you the prince and the princess!"

On the way home.

Fu Guan asked Xuan Yi through the curtain: "Grandma is still in Jingyun Temple. What did the nun say, but grandma wants to see me?"

Xuan Yi made a sound and said, "There's nothing wrong. It's just about the festival at Jingyun Temple. The eldest princess has some small things to ask me to handle."

He added: "My subordinates thought that the prince had been here for a while, so he came here to find him."

Hearing this, Fu Guan just said a faint "hmm" and stopped talking.

Lou Xiyue leaned back slightly, leaning her back lightly on the cushion, and asked, "What do you think of Shangguan's explanation today?"

Fu Guan thought for a while and said: "If what Shangguan Jie said is true, then the evidence that Xiang Feng colluded with Rongguo and introduced a large amount of Lost Soul Grass is conclusive. He has indeed committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason."

Even though there is only a file, a stack of account books, and Shangguan Jie's testimony, and the authenticity of Shangguan Jie's testimony and the file has yet to be verified, according to all previous observations, Xiang Feng's collusion with Rong Guo is accurate.

Lou Xiyue: "I think it's probably true." She said: "He has already formed an alliance with Linlang Pavilion, and Linlang Pavilion used the Lost Soul Grass to train dead soldiers early in the morning.

"In addition, there are also letters that the number one scholar should return as evidence that the Lost Soul Grass in Linlang Pavilion was smuggled from the border. Doesn't this prove one by one that there is collusion between Xiang Feng and Da Xuan's mortal enemy, Rong Guo. "

Fu Guan: "That's true. However, the smuggling case occurred first, and Furong Bank received the Lost Soul Grass later. There were several months between the two incidents. We still don't know where the Lost Soul Grass from Furong Bank came from. Come on, when will it be delivered to the capital?"

Speaking of this, Lou Xiyue thought about the trip to Jiangnan again.
