My whole family is in the book, I'm cheating, the female supporting role in the control group i

Since Ling Yuancheng asked her to go first, she naturally wouldn't stay here for long.

She was actually a little afraid of Ling Yuancheng.

As a general, even though Ling Yuancheng did not go to the battlefield very often, his aura of decisiveness and murderousness was something that a small palace maid like her could not bear.

"Yes."

Xiuhe responded and left quickly.

As soon as Xiuhe left, Ling Yuancheng immediately asked someone to investigate the news.

At the very least, he had to first figure out what merits Mi Qingxue had made and why Emperor Xia's attitude changed so quickly just because Mi Qingxue had just visited the palace...

You wouldn't know unless you investigated. Once you investigated, Ling Yuancheng suddenly discovered that the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works had actually been making a lot of moves recently.

All these things happened in the suburbs of Beijing.

And the Ling family didn't even get any information about these things!

Even from his aunt's side, there was no news at all!

After all, this happened for several days!

If he hadn't sent someone to investigate today, when would the Ling family have known about it?

This is really scary.

Ling Yuancheng felt that something was not right.

Why does it feel like everyone is on guard against the Ling family?

He finally felt that his hands were tied.

In the past, whenever something big or small happened in the court, the Ling family was almost always the first to know about it, but what about now?

It's been such a long time since the incident happened, but the Ling family still doesn't know anything about it!

No, he has to investigate it himself!

……

Looking for the master's yard.

Xun Yi and Wang Juanyi were sitting around the stove making tea and thinking about recent events.

"It's strange. Have you heard any noise outside recently? Why hasn't there been any news of plague until now?" Xun Yi poured himself a cup of tea, very confused.

"Yes! According to our calculations, the imperial edict should have been issued by now. How come we haven't heard anything about it? I even asked the people of the Ling family to pay more attention to the outside world during this period, but apparently, there is no news." Wang Juanyi took a sip of the tea in his hand, his face also full of confusion.

"That shouldn't be the case! Is it because there is too little toxin?"

Xunyi frowned and shook his head.

"No, no, the poison I used is definitely enough according to my reasoning. If I used too much, people would find out and it would be easy to trace it back to us. Besides, the symptoms are very similar to the plague. There's no way anyone can tell that this is not the plague."

"Besides, even if they find out that this is not a plague, after so much time has passed, there will definitely be a large number of deaths. I don't believe that someone can detoxify the poison that I spent five years to develop in just a few days."

Wang Juanyi still has great confidence in Xunyi's abilities.

Otherwise, he would not have brought Xunyi with him when he went to Beijing this time.

Xunyi's lifelong wish is to become an imperial physician.

Of course, he is not an ordinary imperial physician. What he wants to do is to become famous all over the world.

For a doctor, what is the fastest way to become famous?

That person is naturally the doctor who cured a plague!

That's why he started planning this five years ago.

After all, a plague might not occur once every hundred years. If he were to wait, how long would he have to wait?

What's the point of waiting until you are very old to become an imperial physician?

Furthermore, even if a plague really broke out and he happened to be there, could he really cure the plague?

If you are not careful and get infected, and lose your life as a result, it would be truly not worth it.

Therefore, in order to keep everything under his control, it would be better for him to poison himself.

If this plague was entirely caused by him, wouldn't everything be simple?

Therefore, he spent a lot of effort to develop a poison that could show symptoms similar to the plague. Finally, after spending five years, he developed it.

However, it was not enough to just develop the poison, he also had to prepare an antidote. It took him a full year or two to finally develop the antidote.

And this is because he was the one who made these poisons and he knew their ingredients very well.

It was so difficult for him to make the antidote, he didn't believe that anyone could make it in just a few days.

Wang Juanyi still believed in Xun Yi very much. He nodded slightly when he heard it: "That's true, but there has been no movement recently. I don't know what's going on. How about I find a time to go out of the city and take a look myself?"

Xun Yi frowned: "No need."

He was very confident in the poison he had administered.

There shouldn't be any problem.

If Wang Juanyi went to investigate, and by chance he was noticed by someone with ulterior motives, it would be found out that the two of them knew each other.

Will it be possible that one day when he goes to receive the imperial edict and quickly takes out the antidote, they will think that he was the one who caused the plague?

He would never give anyone the chance to doubt him like this!

"Are you really not going to see it?"

Wang Juanyi was still a little hesitant.

He always felt that what had happened in recent days did not seem to go exactly as they had imagined.

If they don’t go and check, they won’t know what accidents have happened!

"No." Xun Yi shook his head: "If the poison is really discovered and cured, if you go out to find out the situation, will people think that you were the one who poisoned it?"

"And if it has not been discovered and solved, then we just need to wait patiently. There will definitely be a result."

"It's possible that some officials or the people below don't want the plague to break out. After all, that would cause panic among the people. And for those people, if the plague in their village is exposed, there is a high possibility that the entire village will be sealed off."

"Originally, only one or two people might have died, but once it was exposed and the village was sealed off, everyone in the village would have been killed."

"Or just set fire to the village."

"Under such circumstances, it is normal for the news to come out slowly."

After listening to Xun Yi's analysis, Wang Juanyi nodded and said, "What you said does make some sense. So let's just ignore it?"

"Never mind, just wait a little longer."

"Ok."

Wang Juanyi said that this was the only way.

Originally, he didn't take this matter very seriously.

After all, he didn't plan to be an imperial physician.

What he really cared about was whether the Second Princess had told His Majesty about Princess Ruyang. If she had, why did the entire capital seem so quiet now?

Given Prince Ruyang's temperament, he should have caused some noise!
