Chapter 281 Revealing the true identity
After Zhuang Shaoji had finished his meal, he came to the room where Yan Yu was with a full belly and a smile on his face.
When I entered the room, I only heard Yan Yu's calm instructions.
"It's getting late. You should stay here to guard the palace, my dear. The rest of you should go back to your houses."
Gao Ji and others responded in unison.
"Yes."
After saying goodbye and turning to leave, he saw the uncle coming towards him. Xiao Xiangshuo looked very happy.
On the other hand, Gao Ji and Gao Nan could only sigh when they passed by Zhuang Shao. There was disappointment in their eyes, as if they were complaining, why did the uncle trust the hypocritical person?
Gao Jing was on duty at the side and did not leave.
Just as Zhuang Shao was about to salute, he saw Yan Yu gesture with his hand: "No need to be polite, please take a seat, my dear Fang."
After expressing his gratitude, Zhuang Shao sat down as instructed.
Thinking that Zhuang Shao was older, Yan Yu asked him first.
"Lord Fang, you came here in the evening. I wonder why you came here?"
Zhuang Shao answered respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I am worried about your injury and have hardly slept at night in the past two days, so I want to see you. May I ask if your body is okay?"
Yan Yu was deeply relieved.
"Well, much better."
After answering, he asked Yu Ning Fengzhe again.
"What's the matter, Ning Aiqing?"
"Could it be that the plan has been perfected so quickly?"
Ning Fengzhe lowered his eyebrows in respect.
"Reporting to the prince, there are still omissions and the plan has not been fully finalized. This time I asked for an audience because of the epidemic in Shengjing. I humbly believe that it is better to rescue Xi'er and Lord Lin as soon as possible."
Yan Yu's eyes sparkled.
"So, Lord Ning, do you have a solution?"
Ning Fengzhe nodded respectfully and smiled humbly.
"My humble thoughts are simple and crude, and can be guessed by everyone."
"As long as we can come up with a prescription that can cure the epidemic, the Imperial Hospital can announce that the epidemic in Shengjing has ended, and Xi'er and Lord Lin will be out of trouble."
Yan Yu looked somewhat embarrassed and sighed silently.
"How easy is it to come up with a prescription?"
Ning Fengzhe is elegant and leisurely, and relaxed and respectful.
"I wonder if Your Majesty has heard Xi'er's talk on the theory of constitution?"
Yan Yu's bright and graceful appearance carries Hong Chengming.
"I've heard her mention it a few times, but I don't know the details."
Ning Fengzhe was calm and reserved, analyzing slowly.
"Perhaps because she was too busy, she didn't have time to explain in detail. When I was living with her in seclusion, I asked her several times in detail, and I could barely memorize it. The Treatise on Constitutions covers a variety of diseases and symptoms. Its benefits are that it can effectively prevent diseases and quickly relieve symptoms. Among them, there are methods for treating epidemics and researching medicines."
"Xi'er is trapped in the manor. Even if a cure is found, Lord Du will not make the prescription public without the emperor's order. In this way, they can keep her trapped for as long as they want, and the prince is in a very passive position."
"Looking around the world, now only the prince, after listening to the "Theory of Constitution", is expected to come up with a cure as quickly as possible."
Yan Yu's brows were filled with heroic spirit and he nodded solemnly.
"Tell me about it."
Ning Fengzhe explained it in a rigorous manner, leaving out no detail.
"Based on the level of nutrition, people are divided into four types of body types: anaerobic body type, wind-heat body type, wind-cold body type and fungal body type. Epidemics are so-called contact infections. Not everyone will get sick if they come into contact with sick people. Only people with wind-heat body types are at risk of contracting the disease..."
"That's roughly what Xi'er said. In my humble opinion, if Your Majesty knows the cause of the epidemic, he can figure out a treatment method."
A bright star in the evening night illuminates Yan Yu's heart, and her eyes light up.
"I didn't expect that the little sister has studied so deeply. If the "Theory of Constitution" can be promoted, people will not suffer from diseases, and will not have to worry about minor illnesses or major illnesses. The hell on earth will no longer exist."
Ning Fengzhe sighed in sorrow and felt regretful.
"Your Highness is right. Unfortunately, I heard Xier complain that people would rather die of illness than learn about it. They believe that 'birth, aging, illness and death are the normal state of human beings', so they don't want to change the status quo. Even when writing about medicine, Xier didn't dare to mention too much, for fear of touching on the unknown and having all her hopes secretly cut off."
Yan Yu treated him optimistically, understood him, and smiled calmly.
“It always takes some time to accept new things. You can’t rush for success. It will take years, decades, or even hundreds of years. As long as you work hard and do the right thing, you will eventually succeed.”
"I will immediately follow her method and research a prescription. I think there will be results tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
After letting them finish explaining their reasons, Yan Yu mentioned the matter of the man in black.
"Also, I have something to ask you, Lord Ning, to look into."
Ning Fengzhe bowed in greeting.
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
Yan Yu narrated the incident of the man in black in detail, and then gave a special description.
"That man in black is skilled with the bow and arrow. His bowstring never misses a target, and his archery skills are as exquisite as..."
He thought for a moment and came up with an analogy.
"Just like Huang Hansheng."
Zhuang Shao and Ning Fengzhe asked the same question at the same time.
"Huang Hansheng?"
Yan Yu looked up at the sky with disappointment, feeling somewhat helpless in communicating.
"You don't have a tripod here, do you?"
"Wait a moment, let me think about whether there are any historical figures who are good at archery."
After a moment, an idea suddenly occurred to him.
"Yes, it's Aunt Fang's late husband, Yun Boyu. The black-clothed man's archery skills are just like Yun Boyu's when he was alive. I've heard from storytellers that they are exactly the same!"
Ning Fengzhe concealed his guilty conscience and did not show it.
Zhuang Shao's face turned pale and he was sweating profusely. When he thought about it secretly, he felt scared.
Fortunately, Lord Ning was sincere. Otherwise, even if Lord Ning did not find out anything, he would be able to guess the truth after listening to the prince's talk. Then, he would report it. Once Brother Gu knew the identity of his brother-in-law, the Nianren League would be in great trouble!
Yan Yu was concentrating on her work and didn't notice Zhuang Shao's abnormality.
"Please take care of the investigation for a few days, my dear Lord Ning. I have prepared a reward and will not treat you unfairly."
Ning Fengzhe said the words he had already prepared.
"Who exactly is the man in black? After hearing what Your Majesty said, I have already guessed it."
Yan Yu looked curious.
"Oh? Please go ahead, my dear."
Ning Fengzhe answered calmly.
"The man in black is Lord Mu, the Chief Inspector."
Zhuang Shao had heard of his plan long ago. He wiped the sweat off his face quietly, regained his composure, and looked motionless.
Yan Yu asked to confirm.
"Mu Liao?"
Ning Fengzhe's eyes were determined.
"Exactly this person."
Yan Yu corrected with a smile.
"Lord Ning may not know, but Lord Mu is totally ignorant of the matter, so how could the man in black be him?"
Ning Fengzhe was unyielding and determined.
"Your Highness, have you not heard of the art of lying dormant, which is to hide while being good at swordsmanship? Lord Mu is well aware of this, and he pretended to be unskilled in bowstrings, so that he could hide in the Supervisory Guard for many years, and even Xi'er didn't notice anything wrong."
"I am seeking to see you today for another matter, which is to expose this person's true face."
"As early as the year of the Yueshengxingliang War, Mu Liao had committed ugly acts. The prince knew about it, and Lord Fang proposed to supervise the guards and let them pretend to follow Lord Gu, openly assisting him in achieving great things, but in fact they took advantage of it and tried their best to protect the people of the Yan and Lin tribes."
"However, Zhong Jian and Mu Liao colluded with each other, and the Fang clan's power was limited, which led to several failures. Then, the Minister of the Guards, Lord Gao Furong, risked his life and was only one step away from saving the Crown Prince Zhengxian. Unexpectedly, Mu Liao succeeded, causing Lord Gao to die in the war at a young age."
The Prince Zhengxian he was referring to was Yan Danqing, the eldest son of Emperor Muzong and the elder brother of Yan Yu.
Gao Furong is Gao Nan's eldest daughter and Qiu Bi's older sister.
Ning Fengzhe presented the evidence calmly.
"I have brought all the evidence, including that this person is good at bows and strings and has secretly asked to see the emperor many times. The evidence is solid and can be verified. Please take a look, Your Majesty."
