Chapter 182 Confirmed the Emperor's Conjecture
Bai Wei dismounted, walked to a place sheltered from the wind, and took out a plate of incense from her lapel.
It looks like a mosquito coil, but it is not a mosquito coil. It is the thyme she developed. Although it is called this name, in fact, it is also brought back from the south. It can temporarily make snakes, insects, rats, ants, and even small animals within a radius of one mile lose their ability to move.
Find an open space, dig a hole, light the incense and bury it halfway in the soil.
Bai Wei raised her lips and smiled, looking at the tent that was already far away, revealing a satisfied smile: "Done!"
In this way, all of Fenglin's insects will be trapped in this circle, and there will be absolutely no possibility for them to catch up.
She had long known that according to Feng Lin's personality, he would never allow things to get out of his control.
Now that he knew she was able to sew up the arm, how could he give up until he achieved his goal?
And after she leaves, he will definitely find ways to follow her.
In order to hide her identity, she naturally couldn't let him catch up with her, but if she completely lost track of him, who knows what kind of crazy things he would do?
That was why she went to look for Feng Lin before leaving and promised him two and a half months, just to give him hope and at the same time tell him not to act rashly.
This move was intended to appease her, to prevent him from looking for her madly after he left, causing too much noise and eventually implicating the Xiao family. It would also let Ouyang Ming know her medical skills and make him suspicious of her and Ouyang Yi.
Now, even if the bugs he sent to track him lost him, as long as he still had hope for two and a half months later, he would not take any risks!
When Ouyang Yi heard this, he also got off the horse and held out his hand to Bai Wei: "Let's go."
Bai Wei smiled and nodded, then walked forward and held his hand.
This horse can't follow them either.
Outside the Summer Resort.
Two groups of people were standing at the door facing each other.
Eunuch Gui smiled, but the smile didn't seem to reach his eyes: "I am representing the Emperor. Don't I even have the qualifications to personally deliver the things to His Royal Highness Prince Yi?"
The guards stood on both sides of the door, guarding the gate of the Summer Resort.
Madam Yao had a friendly smile on her face: "Eunuch Gui, you are too serious. How is this possible? It's just that, it's just that... His Royal Highness Prince Yi is really not very convenient right now. Otherwise, you can give the things to this old servant, and I will help you take them in."
After saying that, he reached out to take it.
Eunuch Gui said in a very arrogant manner: "That won't do. The emperor said it lightly, asking me to personally hand the things over to His Royal Highness Prince Yi. If it gets bumped or hit, I can't afford the consequences!"
There was a flash of anxiety in Aunt Yao's eyes.
Eunuch Gui understood everything.
Yesterday, something happened to the Xiao family army that was escorting envoys from southern Xinjiang. Although they won in the end, the battle was brutal. Xiao Mingyu, the Xiao family's major general, had one arm chopped off by a traitor.
This matter was reported to the palace by a spy last night.
That night, the emperor ordered him to go to the general's mansion to inform General Bai of the matter.
Unexpectedly, General Bai was not in the mansion, and it was heard that she was with His Royal Highness Prince Yi.
So he went to Prince Yi's Mansion again, but was told that Prince Yi and General Bai had gone to the Summer Resort together.
The Mountain Resort was outside the capital, and after two previous transfers, he returned to the palace to report.
After he came back with the report, the emperor asked him to report again tomorrow.
And this morning, another piece of news came that two people came to the Xiao family army camp, claiming to be old acquaintances of General Xiao and that they could help with treatment for Major General Xiao.
The emperor then arranged for him to report to General Bai after leaving court.
But who would have thought that just after the court session, when he was about to go to the Summer Resort to spread the news, the spy sent another message. It said that the man had sewed up General Xiao's hand, and the one who treated General Xiao was a woman.
The emperor began to suspect that the person who sewed up Xiao Mingyu's arm was not someone else but General Bai.
General Bai's medical skills were not what she showed. Moreover, she was able to rush to the military camp yesterday afternoon, which proved that she had hidden spies for a long time.
Combined with the recent incident of pacifying the refugees, this is no longer a trivial matter.
Therefore, the emperor sent him to the Mountain Resort, asking him to see with his own eyes whether Bai Wei and Ouyang Yi were there.
But when he got here, Nanny Yao made excuses and deliberately refused to let him in, which verified the emperor's guess.
He just needs to tell the emperor about this matter, and the emperor will decide the rest.
"Since the Emperor has asked me to personally deliver this gift to His Royal Highness Prince Yi, I cannot ask anyone else to do it for me. If Madam Yao is making excuses, could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Yi and General Bai are not in the Summer Resort right now? If that is the case, then I can only take the gift back and report the truth to the Emperor."
After saying that, he was about to leave.
Jianying walked over expressionlessly: "Please stay, Eunuch Gui. His Royal Highness Prince Yi just said that although it is not convenient for him to come in now, since the Emperor has specifically instructed you to hand the things over to him in person, then you can go in. But... you have to go alone!"
After saying that, he looked at the person behind him.
Eunuch Gui was slightly stunned and looked at the sword shadow.
Jianying had a calm expression. He had been following Ouyang Yi in battles for many years, and he had an indescribable aura of killing that made him inexplicably scared. He looked around, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
Could it be that the Sword Shadow Commander wanted to lure him in and kill him to silence him?
If Prince Yi really wanted to hide something, or even had some idea in mind, if he went in, he would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, and there would be only one outcome... death!
"Commander Jianying, you are joking. These people came with me, so they should go in with me. It would be inappropriate for me to go in alone."
Jianying raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with that? Eunuch Gui is here to deliver a gift to the Emperor, not to raid the house of His Royal Highness Prince Yi in the Mountain Resort. It's inappropriate to bring so many people. Moreover, the gift is only this big. If Eunuch Gui can't carry it, why not let Jianying do it for him?"
When Eunuch Gui heard Jianying say this, he was really powerless to refute.
What he said was that the emperor asked him to come and discuss the truth, not to declare war on Prince Yi.
Now he didn't know whether Prince Yi was in there. If he insisted on making a fuss, Prince Yi would use this incident to cause trouble for him in the future, and he would be in trouble.
So, he had no choice at all.
Seeing him standing there motionless, Jianying reminded him coldly, "Didn't Eunuch Gui deliver something to Prince Yi on the orders of the Emperor? Do you really need Jianying's help?"
Eunuch Gui finally came to his senses and said with a stiff upper lip: "No need, this old servant can carry it!"
"In that case." Jianying made a gesture of invitation without hesitation: "Please follow me!"
Eunuch Gui knew that he had to go on this journey, so even though he was reluctant, he had to take the brocade box from the eunuch beside him and follow Liuxing into the Mountain Resort.
Before leaving, he loudly told his palace servants and guards, "I'm going to deliver something to His Royal Highness Prince Yi now. You guys just wait here and don't run around. Do you hear me?"
The palace servants and guards all clasped their hands together and accepted the order.
Eunuch Gui looked at Jianying, trying to get some clues from his expression.
Unexpectedly, Jianying just stood there, looking at him expressionlessly, like a door god pasted on the door, with no discernible emotion at all.
He had no idea whether Ouyang Yi was in the Summer Resort, so he had to go in and check it out.
