"The officer always feels strange that the thief kept so many treasures and didn't take it, and only stole one pill. I'm afraid this pill is unusual?"

"...!"

Xue Yun's shoulder twitched slightly.

But she said calmly: "No matter how unusual it is, it's just a medicine."

Chen Zixiao said, "I'm afraid that's not the case."

Xue Yun frowned slightly, raised his head to look at Chen Zixiao, and said, "What does Mr. Chen mean by this? Could he be deceived by the official?"

"..."

Chen Zixiao narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a while.

Then he said: "This time the captain's mansion was stolen, only Doctor Xue was the victim. There were no witnesses, nor did you leave any traces of the thief in your house. The only clue is this medicine."

"..."

"This thief took the risk of decapitating, and went into the captain's mansion to steal, just to steal this medicine. There are only two possibilities."

"Which two possibilities?"

"One is that this medicine is extremely valuable. After the thief steals it and resells it, it can make a fortune."

Xue Yun's eyes were cold and calmly said: "That's a pity, this first possibility is impossible."

"Oh?"

"Although the medicinal materials used in refining this medicine are expensive, they are not so valuable. When you count them, they don't even cost ten taels of silver. If a thief wants to use this to make a fortune, I am afraid that he has miscalculated."

"Then, there is only the second possibility."

"what is that?"

"That is--"

Chen Zixiao's eyes flickered directly into Xue Yun's eyes, and he said word by word: "The thief may know the effect of this medicine, and he just needs this medicine to cure illness and save his life."

"..."

"Therefore, I need Doctor Xue to tell me in detail the properties and curative effects of the stolen medicine, so that we can follow this clue to investigate."

"..."

Xue Yun frowned.

She remembered very clearly that the emperor asked the imperial concubine to tell her about the theft to the people in the captain's mansion. She also explained that she only reported the theft. Naturally, the medicine and detoxification must be kept secret and not let anyone else. Know.

But now, Chen Zixiao's words--

When Xue Yun hesitated, Chen Zixiao looked at her and said, "Why, the pill that Master Xue refined himself, don't you still know the nature of the medicine?"

Xue Yun glanced at him again.

Then he said: "When it comes to the efficacy of the medicine, it is nothing more than resuscitation and lucidity. If adults want to use this as a clue to investigate, then the official will wait for the result."

After speaking, he raised his hand and bowed, turned and left.

Chen Zixiao stood there, looking at her back, without saying a word.

However, Gu Ziyun and the others couldn't help frowning when they saw this, and said in a deep voice, "But a little doctor, who dares to be so rampant in front of you, your lord, is too ignorant."

The two soldiers standing behind gently pulled Gu Ziyun's sleeves.

Gu Ziyun looked back at them: "Huh?"

The soldier had always been with Chen Zixiao, and at this time he said softly, "Mr. Gu said carefully. Although this imperial doctor is not of high grade, he has been with the emperor these days, even when he went to inspect Yulianhe Never leave."

"Oh?"

"Just now, even the noble concubine's attitude toward her was different, I'm afraid--"

Gu Ziyun frowned.

Although they are far in the northwest, there is still wind blowing here from time to time in the capital, and they know some rumors.

Especially this time, when the emperor came to Han Dongwei, even the imperial concubine was not accompanied by him, only she was always with the emperor.

Is it true that the rumors are true?

Gu Ziyun thought about it cautiously, then looked at Chen Zixiao: "My lord, do you still need to investigate this medicine."

Chen Zixiao kept watching Xue Yun's back disappear in front of him, and then slowly turned around and said lightly: "She has reported the loss, so it is of course to be investigated. However, it is just a medicine for resuscitation, which needs to be checked. It’s not that easy, let’s say, now the battle in White Tiger City is what we really should do our best to deal with. This matter, let two people stare at it."

"..."

"Of course, by the way, stare at her."

Gu Ziyun immediately understood.

He arched his hands: "The little one understands."

Chen Zixiao turned around and walked to his room.

"What are you thinking?"

Zhu Feng and Nan Yan led the brigade to leave Han Dongwei, all the way to the east, horseshoe formations, shaking the ground slightly, raising smoke and dust in the sky.

I ran until the sun went down and found a place with a water source to camp.

Countless bonfires burned to light up the sky that was originally graying out. Zhu Feng told Ying Shao and the others a few words. When they came back, they saw Nan Yan sitting in front of the fire with a solemn expression.

As if thinking about something.

He walked to her and sat down and asked, "Why do you look listless?"

"Uh?"

Nan Yan returned to his senses abruptly, and immediately said, "Is there? Concubine, right?"

Zhu Feng said: "It's because of exhaustion."

"..."

"I said I wouldn't let you come."

Nan Yan immediately said: "The concubine is okay, and the emperor looks down on people too much. After riding away for so long, can the emperor hear the concubine cry out of suffering?"

Zhu Feng looked at her: "Then what are you thinking about with that expression?"

"..."

Nan Yan raised his brow slightly and did not speak immediately.

What Xue Yun said to herself when she was thinking about leaving the captain's mansion along the way.

She wanted to talk to herself alone, but she didn't know what to say to herself.

About detoxification? Or is it about refining medicine?

Or is it something else that matters?

Nan Yan hesitated to tell Zhu Feng about this matter, but what Xue Yun was going to say, I don't know yet. If something disturbs her, I am afraid she will not say it.

From this point of view, let's not talk about it for now.

After meeting Munch here, go back and see what she is going to say to herself. If she can tell Zhu Feng, she will naturally not hide it.

So Nan Yan just smiled and said, "It's nothing, my concubine is just that I told my concubine before thinking about the emperor. You and Ajislan confess that you want to help him and Munch at the same time. Wouldn't he doubt it? Was the emperor’s original intention to take advantage of the source?"

Zhu Feng glanced at her.

Then he said: "I told him, just to prevent him from guessing, including Munch, I will not hide it."

"..."

"With their dispositions, it is impossible not to guess that I want to go from side to side. The fact is that no matter how unwilling they are, they all need me at this time. Therefore, even if they know that I want to reap the benefits, they can only cut meat and feed the wolves. ."

He glanced at Nan Yan, smiled and said, "This is called'power is stronger than people'."
