After the rebirth, I was picked up by the prince

Lingning seemed to sense Qi Zizhen's changing mood, meowed softly, and rubbed against his arms a few times.

Qi Zizhen took a breath tremblingly, almost forcing himself to calm down.

Ning Qingwei on the side was paying attention to his situation, handed him a cup of warm tea, lowered his eyes and said: "This is all the results of my investigation in the past few days. How to do it is up to you."

Qi Zizhen pursed his lips, but drank the tea in one gulp, saying nothing, and didn't want to say anything.

In just half a day, there was too much news for him to digest.

After finally talking with Yu Feiang this morning, the happy mood is really not left at all.

Xiao Qi's Gu poison is difficult to decipher, Xiao Shi suddenly disappears, and he learns that Qin Ling is the one who really harmed their family.

Too many things rushed in at once, hardly giving him a chance to breathe.

Ning Qingwei looked at his expression, finally sighed softly, picked up the food box he had put on the ground, and brought out a few plates of small pastries.

"Shouldn't you have time to have lunch yet? These will be used as a temporary pad for your stomach."

Qi Zizhen turned his head to look at those exquisite and small pastries, restrained the thoughts in his eyes, and only responded softly with a nasal voice.

Ning Qingwei rubbed his head again: "I will temporarily stay in Xiao Qi's room for a few days, if you have something to do, come down to find me, don't hold it alone, understand?"

Hearing the concern in his words, Qi Zizhen finally reacted a bit more, nodded and said: "I see, thank you brother-in-law."

Ning Qingwei patted him on the shoulder: "I'll make you lunch, you stay here, don't move around."

The obviously teasing tone eased the tension in the atmosphere a little. Qi Zizhen breathed out, and finally got out of the mood just now, just sat there obediently and waited, only got up halfway to put away the wad of rice paper .

He put all the rice paper into a wooden box and looked at the dense writing on it.

Everything they have experienced now will eventually come to an end.

In the next few days, Ning Qingwei did exactly what he and Qi Zizhen said, and temporarily lived in the room where Xu Xiaoqi lived before, in order to prevent Qi Zizhen from falling ill due to the backlog and busyness of things.

Several people occasionally accompanied him to talk nonsense, and Qi Zizhen's mood was much better than before. He played his image of a sick and weak boy every day, showing his sickly face in the capital from time to time.From time to time, he would go to the palace to inquire about the recent situation.

I don't know if it's really a desperate situation. In the past few days, some of the things they have been investigating have more or less breakthroughs.

The first thing that made progress was Yu Feiang's investigation of snow disaster corruption.According to Yu Feiang's recent investigations, it can basically be determined that the grain, grass and weapons purchased by the embezzled Zang Kuang were secretly transported to a desolate forest on the outskirts of the capital.

Yu Feiang also went there secretly to investigate, but apart from the vast expanse of desolate forest, there was no trace of Yang Bing's practice. He suspected that some kind of cover-up had been done, and further investigation was needed for the specifics.

Not long after the snow disaster, Cui Liang, who was lurking in the harem every night, also received news, and found that among the three concubines under surveillance, Concubine Xuan behaved the most abnormally one night, sneaking out of her palace.

Cui Liang tried to follow her to see what she wanted to do, but she flung her away.

Cui Liang was not very familiar with the terrain of the harem, so he chose to go back the same way after he was lost, and told Song Yaoxu about it.

Song Shi's whereabouts are still unknown, judging from the situation, Concubine Xuan was most likely involved in this matter.

Both Song Yaoxu and Qi Zizhen were worried about Song Shi's situation, but they also knew that Song Shi was the prince after all, and they should not go to the point of directly killing Song Shi.

Therefore, without being fully sure, they could not act at will, for fear that the person who took Song Shi away would be forced into a hurry, which would be detrimental to Song Shi.

In addition, there is still progress concerning Enke.

Song Yaoxu found a pretext for the officials of the Hanlin Academy to sort out the imperial examination and Enke examination papers, and "inadvertently" discovered that there was a problem with the Enke examination papers in Hongchu 23 years, and even more "accidentally" discovered that Lu Yuanbai's examination papers were not in the Enke examination papers. Among the examination papers.

At the beginning, Lu Yuanbai was able to enter the court because of Enke's leader who won Enke.

As the leader, the examination papers disappeared, which is a very suspicious thing.

Qi Zizhen also learned about it from Cui Liang, who was sent by Song Yaoxu to report.

Song Yaoxu hasn't made this matter public yet, presumably it caught them by surprise.

After all, the examiner at Enke was Song Ping himself.

In the Ling Dynasty, the sealing of the examination papers was inseparable from the chief examiner. Now that Lu Yuanbai's examination papers were lost, Song Ping was naturally the most suspicious.

Qi Zizhen roughly understood all the things Cui Liang reported, and when Cui Liang was about to leave and return to the palace, he suddenly stopped him: "By the way, Cui Liang, there is one more thing I would like to trouble you to hand over to Your Highness."

While talking, he picked up a letter from the table and handed it to Cui Liang.

This letter was given to him by Wei Lingshen at the National Teacher Tower today, and he said it was sent from Northwest County.

Northwest County is the southwest town of Wumeng Kingdom that was captured by Tang Leyuan and Song Xingqiu. It was renamed Northwest County after it was merged into the territory of Ling Dynasty.

When Qi Zizhen heard that he was from Northwest County, he guessed that it should be related to the Southwest General, and when he opened it, he found that it was something related to the whereabouts of the Southwest General that Song Xingqiu had investigated.

Moreover, according to the letter, Sun Wushun, the Southwest General, had already mixed into the Ling Dynasty, and might even have entered the capital.

If this is the case, they will have to be more careful during this period of time.

Cui Liang could see the importance of the letter from Qi Zizhen's expression, and immediately responded seriously and seriously, before turning around and heading out of the National Teacher Tower.

Qi Zizhen went to the window as usual and watched him leave his sight safely.

The eldest grandson Wushun has already arrived in the capital, and it should not be far away from Song Ping's operation.

He leaned against the window, looking at the familiar scenery outside the National Teacher Tower, and his thoughts flew to nowhere.

What pulled him back to his mind was the sudden shout of the guard behind him.

"Young Master Qi!!!"

Qi Zizhen was startled by the yell, and his foot slipped and he knocked his head against the window.

"Hiss—it hurts."

He clutched his forehead that was sore from the bump, and turned to look at the guard who pushed the door behind him: "Suddenly shouting so loudly, what happened?"

The guard also seemed to have discovered his recklessness, coughed lightly, restrained his carefree movements, but still couldn't suppress the joyful smile on his face: "I have found the creator of the withering Gu! Xiao Qi's Gu poison may be saved! "

Qi Zizhen froze for a moment, then suddenly widened his eyes: "Really?!"

"En!" The guard nodded heavily, and quickly explained the whole story.

"That day at Mr. Qin's... um, when I heard you guys talking about detoxification at Ms. Qin's house, I remembered that my uncle is good at developing all kinds of weird antidotes. But I'm worried that my uncle is good at this I don't know much about the poison, so I didn't tell you, I wrote a letter to ask my uncle first in private.

"Later, my uncle told me that the withered Gu was the poison he inadvertently researched when developing the antidote. He originally wanted to destroy the prescription, but it was stolen by someone with a heart."

"He has been worried about someone being poisoned by this kind of poison for several years, so he is committed to researching the method to solve this kind of poison, and now he has reached the stage of understanding the dosage of the medicine.

"Uncle Master learned that someone I knew was poisoned by this kind of Gu poison, so he immediately said that he would come to Beijing. He just arrived today and was brought near the National Master Tower by me."

Qi Zizhen listened to the guard's narration as calmly as possible, and immediately asked the guard to help lead the way to visit his uncle's temporary residence.

The guards readily agreed, and led Qi Zizhen all the way to the inn where his uncle lived.

The uncle happened to be still in the inn at the moment, Qi Zizhen knocked on the door three times, and not long after, he saw the old man who came to open the door.

The appearance of the old man was slightly younger than that of the guarding master. Although he had also reached an octogenarian age with gray hair, he was still very energetic.

Qi Zizhen calmed down his fluctuating mood, bowed his hands respectfully and politely to the old man.

The old man's temperament was more gentle than the guard's master. When he saw Qi Zizhen coming to the door, he hurriedly smiled and waved his hands: "Master Guoshi, there is no need to be too polite, come in quickly, and we will talk when you come in."

Qi Zizhen thanked him politely before he was willing to go in, his posture was indifferent but gentle and respectful.

The old man didn't expect that the current national teacher himself is still a child, but seeing his calm and respectful appearance, he didn't mean to belittle him, so he went straight to the point: "Listen to what my nephew said, but the child in the national teacher's family has a dry spell? "

Qi Zizhen nodded: "It's the successor of the younger generation, an eleven or twelve-year-old child, who has been infected by the Gu poisoning for seven days, and has entered the second stage of the Gu poison."

The old man had a general understanding of the situation, stroked his white beard, pondered for a moment and said: "Different people have different physiques, and the preparation of the antidote needs to be adjusted accordingly. I wonder if the national teacher can let the old man observe the child himself for a few days. Case?"

"It's convenient." Qi Zizhen replied hastily, "The child will be taken care of by a friend of the younger generation for the time being, and I may need to trouble the senior to go with the younger generation."

The old man waved his hand and said with a sigh: "After all, this is caused by the negligence of the old man, and it should be solved by the old man. It is not a trouble."

Qi Zizhen didn't say much about it, and after paying respects again, he got up and led the old man.

On the way, the old man asked some details about the situation, and the guards mainly answered, and Qi Zizhen occasionally helped to add a few words.

When he arrived at the door of Qin Qiao's house, the old man knew almost all the information he needed to know, and he only needed to look at Xu Xiaoqi's situation in detail.

Qi Zizhen stood at the door, knocked lightly a few times, and soon heard a female voice answering: "Here we are."

Not long after the answer, Qin Qiao, who was wearing a long gouache dress, came to open the door, and paused when she saw a strange old man behind Qi Zizhen: "Who is this?"

"This is the uncle of the guard, and also the senior who accidentally created the dry Gu. He is currently developing an antidote to the dry Gu."

After Qi Zizhen finished his introduction softly, Qin Qiao couldn't help showing surprise, and hurriedly moved aside: "Senior, please come in! Xiao Qi just woke up and is reading in the room right now. Junior will take senior over there."

I don't know if he got used to the respect of these children from Qi Zizhen, the old man waved his hand and didn't say much, followed Qin Qiao into the room to see how Xu Xiaoqi was doing.

Qi Zizhen and the guard followed the old man into the house, and helped close the door by the way.

At this time, another female voice came from the other room: "Xiao Qiao, but is there a guest?"

A woman came out of that room with a bowl of medicine in her hand, and was stunned when she inadvertently raised her eyes to look in Qi Zizhen's direction.

Qi Zizhen remembered that Qin Qiao had said before that her mother would come to the capital in the next few days, and guessed that this was the lady's address, so she cupped her hands and said, "I'm bothering you madam."

Qin Qiao on the side also explained to the woman: "This is the Mr. Qi I told you about. The one behind him is Mr. Shou, and the one next to me is Mr. Shou's uncle. Come and see Xiao Qi situation."

Only then did the woman come to her senses, she first greeted them with a smile, and then waited for them all to enter the house before bringing in the soup.

Inside the room, Xu Xiaoqi was holding a volume of books, sitting on the side of the bed obediently, his face was so pale that it made people feel distressed.

When the child saw Qi Zizhen coming in, his eyes lit up for a moment, and then he obediently greeted them one by one, even counting the strange old man.

Qi Zizhen walked up to him, rubbed his head pityingly, and asked softly, "How is Xiaoqi feeling recently?"

"It's much better than before. Brother Qi doesn't need to worry about Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi will definitely recover soon." Xu Xiaoqi raised his head, a smile appeared on his lips.

He is obedient and sensible, making the other people who know the inside story look more distressed.

Qi Zizhen couldn't hold back, and rubbed his head lightly before saying: "This senior is here to help you treat your illness, you have to listen to the senior, you know?"

"Well, Xiaoqi knows." Xu Xiaoqi nodded obediently, then turned to look at the old man, and said obediently, "Please trouble senior uncle, Xiaoqi will listen to uncle."

The old man has a good personality, but seeing Xu Xiaoqi is so obedient and cute, he finds him more likable, and he wants to develop an antidote even more.

Qin Qiao has been taking care of Xu Xiaoqi for the past few days. Knowing more about Xu Xiaoqi's situation, Qi Zizhen didn't want to disturb Qin Qiao's communication with the old man. After speaking, he planned to go to the palace to inform Song Yaoxu about this matter.

The woman who brought the medicine came in to see Xu Xiaoqi's wife, and offered to send him out.

Qi Zizhen didn't refuse. He bowed his hands and turned to go out. He didn't communicate with the woman on the way.

It wasn't until the woman sent him to the door that Qi Zizhen said softly: "Madam, let's stop here. If you disturb Madam, this junior will leave first."

The woman quickly waved her hand and smiled lightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she stopped after a while.

Qi Zizhen was a little confused, but didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked out of the courtyard to leave.

"Mr. Qi, please stay." However, at this moment, the woman stopped him again, and she seemed to have finally made up her mind and said, "Dare to ask Mr. Qi... is it Qin Huanshu's child?"

Qi Zizhen's back froze in place.

The woman seemed to be afraid of offending herself, and added: "I see that you and Huan Shu are somewhat similar..."

Hearing the gradually weakening voice behind him, Qi Zizhen clenched his hands hanging on both sides slightly, and sneered suddenly after a while.

"What if it is, what if it isn't?"

He didn't turn his head back, his suppressed voice was far less submissive and gentle than before.

The woman couldn't tell what was going on in his mind, so she hesitated for a while and couldn't help but ask, "Huan Shu... is he doing well?"

"He's already dead." Qi Zizhen lowered his head and answered the woman's question almost instantly, but his voice became colder, "He was killed by Qin Ling."

He raised his eyes and turned his head, and glanced at the woman lightly, with nothing but indifference remaining in his dark eyes.

"My father and my mother were both killed by her."

The woman froze in place suddenly, her breathing became trembling.

Before she had time to say anything else, Qi Zizhen had strode away, leaving behind only a cold and plain white figure.

The author has something to say: the first
