ancient female doctor

Chapter 172 Lanzhi confesses
For several days, Princess Anle and Qingzhu ignored Lan Zhi and Zhao Ruolan who had been imprisoned, as if they had forgotten about them.

Princess Anle and Qingzhu changed into men's clothes early in the morning on the third day, and walked to the stables with great interest.Because Princess Anle was finally allowed to go to the fields for activities, Princess Anle, who had 'regained freedom', seemed very excited, and proposed to go wandering around Yongzhou City.

And Qingzhu also wants to see if there is a tofu workshop in Yongzhou City. She wants to make some tofu for Pei Zimo to eat, because tofu products can also help the recovery of fractured bones.

Qingzhu and Princess Anle rode horses, led a few disguised bodyguards, and headed all the way to Yongzhou City.Halfway through the journey, from time to time, some stumps and broken arms that had not been cleaned up could be found in the grass beside the road.The smell of blood gradually filled the air, and when they were about to reach the foot of Yongzhou City, the ground and stones were dyed brown.

Looking up, the city wall is also full of dried blood, and there are marks left on the city wall by the siege equipment.

"Qingzhu, what's the matter?" Princess Anle, who had already run forward when she found out that Qingzhu had reined in her horse, rode back and looked at Qingzhu and asked.

"War is really not a good thing." Qingzhu looked at Princess Anle, sighed slightly, and said.

"Don't be so compassionate." Princess Anle looked at the green bamboo and said, "If it can't be destroyed, it can't be erected. It's better for us King Ning's army to destroy this city than to be destroyed by refugees. At least, our King Ning army can't do that kind of burning, killing and looting. .”

"That's true." Qingzhu nodded.

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look." Princess Anle said looking at Qingzhu.

"Okay, let's go."

Entering the city, one can see desolation everywhere, although there are notices of An Min posted everywhere, but as far as the eye can see, there are very few pedestrians on the street, all in a hurry.Although the shopkeepers were open, after entering, no matter whether it was the clerk or the shopkeeper, they all looked sleepy and listless.

Qingzhu and Princess Anle of the tofu workshop were also found, but in this tofu workshop, they couldn't even find a single soybean, let alone ready-made tofu.

Teams of armored soldiers patrolling the streets and alleys, occasionally suppressed cries could be heard in the alleys, and the air was filled with the thick smell of blood and burning paper money.

It didn't take long to walk around, and even Princess Anle became boring.

"It's really boring, let's go back." Princess Anle said looking at Qingzhu with a bored expression.

"Well, let's go back." Qingzhu nodded, and responded, her voice sounded much heavier than Princess Anle's.

Princess Anle originally wanted to move back to the Red Makeup Camp when she was allowed to move freely, but King Ning refused, and being dragged by the matter of Lan Zhi and Zhao Ruolan, she also wanted to go back after learning about it, so she didn't insist.

Just after returning to the camp of the Chinese army, in the camp belonging to Princess Anle, the guards in charge of guarding Lan Zhi rushed to report today, saying that Lan Zhi had recruited him.

Hearing such news, Qingzhu, who was originally heavy, also relaxed a little, looked at Princess Anle with a smile, and said: "I haven't given her a mandala flower yet, and she actually recruited it. It seems that she is not a firm-minded man. people."

"It's good to recruit, so we don't have to worry about it." Princess Anle waved her hand, drank a cup of tea in one breath, and then said with a smile.

"Not necessarily." Qingzhu shook her head.

"Why?" Princess Anle looked at the green bamboo and asked rather puzzled.

"Has Zhao Ruolan recruited?" Qingzhu didn't answer Princess Anle, but asked the guard who came to report.

"This, it seems not." The guard thought for a while, shook his head and said.

"Then did she drink water?" Qing Zhu looked at the guard and asked again.

"Drink it." The guard nodded, and said: "However, I have been holding on for the past two days, refusing to drink tea. In the end, we thought about the princess and your order, and we could only give her water to drink gone."

"Look, this Zhao Ruolan is not an ordinary person, she is on high alert. If she really didn't poison, I'm afraid she has a lot of intentions." Qingzhu looked at Princess Anle and said.

"Then do you have any good solution?" Princess Anle looked at Qingzhu and asked.

"Let's see what Lan Zhi has to say first." Qingzhu said to Princess Anle.

"Alright, then go and bring Lan Zhi up." Princess Anle nodded, looked at the guard and ordered.

"Yes." The guard went down quickly, and after a while, he came up with orchid branches.

I haven't seen him for three days, Lan Zhi's appearance has almost changed drastically, his face is black and blue, his eye sockets are sunken, his eyes are covered with bloodshot eyes, and his reaction is a little scary.

Kneeling on the ground and looking at Princess Anle for a long time, Lan Zhi suddenly kowtowed and said, "I beg the princess to show mercy, Lan Zhi is willing to recruit."

"Then tell me, I'll listen." Princess Anle couldn't bear to see Lan Zhi like this, her tone couldn't be strict no matter what, she finally sighed, looked at Lan Zhi and said calmly.

"Yes. Doctor Xia's poison was indeed given by the servant. After Doctor Xia treated the princess for the poison that day, the servant once handed Doctor Xia a cup of tea, which contained two datura seeds."

"However, the slaves dare not use more, because they are afraid that Doctor Xia will suddenly become poisoned, so they are very cautious in using the medicine. In total, they only took it twice for Doctor Xia, thinking that she will slowly accumulate the toxin, so the total amount is only [-] times. I used it twice, two at a time. It's just that Lan Zhi didn't expect that Doctor Xia would suddenly become poisoned, and people would find out, and she was scared, so she asked Zhao Ruolan to help discard the mandala seeds."

"But please be clear, the princess. The servant gave Zhao Ruolan more than ten or twenty. Because when the servant went to collect the mandala seeds, the doctor took a few more because the doctor was not paying attention. When I handed it to Zhao Ruolan , there should be at least thirty of them."

As she said that, Lan Zhi paused, swallowed her saliva, and then continued: "I have thought about it a lot in the past two days, and I only think that Zhao Ruolan is indeed suspicious, because she was indeed the one who revealed it to me that day, the Princess and Doctor Xia. I guessed about the poisoning of Doctor Xia."

"Later, she was also talking about it, and wanted to find out if there was such a thing in her luggage. She said that her family opened a pharmacy. If she had brought some with her at some time and she accidentally forgot, what would happen if it was found?" , I couldn’t speak clearly with just a few mouthfuls. That’s why the servant girl started to throw away the mandala seeds. It was also Zhao Ruolan who said that she wanted to go to the pool to wash clothes. The servant girl didn’t think too much about it at the time. Seeing that she was about to go out, I asked her to help take the mandala seeds and throw them away."

"Okay, let me believe you for now." Princess Anle nodded, and said: "However, this princess asked me to take you well, and Doctor Xia has never had any grudges with others. What are you doing? What about poisoning Doctor Xia?"

"Because..." Lan Zhi looked at Qingzhu, then at Princess Anle, and finally lowered her head and said, "Because, Lan'er, who was kicked out of the house because of neglecting Dr. Qingzhu in the Hangu courtyard, was mine. dear sister."
