Chapter 292 Yao Zhen
"Xiao Zhen, I know you can use poison. Please help me think of a way to make some stronger poisons. I want to attack Xiao Mo halfway."
"Is this the task given to you by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui?"
"Ah."
"Will your people betray me?"
Yao Zhen was really afraid of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui. If she was caught, she would surely die.
"The few people who came out with me today are my confidants, and no one will talk nonsense."
After knowing that she was not in danger, Yao Zhen talked about the poison.
She asked Zhou Quankun in detail about his sneak attack plan, and prepared two poisons according to his plan, one that could make a person unconscious, and the other that could directly take a person's life.
"Brother Kun, you should also leave yourself a way out. If the Imperial Concubine Dehui's treasury is really emptied by someone, it's hard to say whether Xiao Yi can become the emperor in the future."
"I have made two preparations. First, kill Xiao Mo. If he stole the treasury and all the silver is in his hands, I will naturally not rely on Imperial Noble Consort Dehui anymore."
"If he hadn't stolen the treasury, there wouldn't be much silver in his carriage team. I still have to use Imperial Noble Consort Dehui. If that idiot Xiao Yi really ascends to the throne, I can still get some benefits."
"Brother Kun has more ideas. I'm not like him who's been scared to death these days."
Madam Yao, who is usually ruthless, becomes weak in front of Zhou Quankun.
Zhou Quankun was quite fond of her trick. He did not return to the camp that day. He spent the whole day in the inn with Yao Zhen and left the next day.
Yao Zhen was preparing medicinal herbs in Jianing City. With Zhou Quankun's protection, she did not dress herself up to look ugly. She just changed into ordinary coarse cloth clothes and went out.
Coincidentally, in order to avoid Shi Bin, Liuli came to Jianing City with Bai Ziyao early.
Bai Ziyao came to help Ye Jintang open a shop, while Liuli was making thunder bombs here.
When she went to the herbal medicine market to buy herbs, she saw that Yao Zhen looked familiar. At first she thought she had recognized the wrong person. It was only after she talked to her for most of the morning that she dared to confirm that she had not recognized the wrong person.
Liuli naturally knew about what was happening in the capital. She thought Yao Zhen had been assassinated by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui a long time ago, but she didn't expect that she was still alive and well.
That same day she sent a carrier pigeon letter to Ye Jintang, telling him about Yao Zhen.
On the official road, Xuetuan was sleeping on Ye Jintang's carriage. A carrier pigeon circled the carriage several times but did not dare to land, for fear that its letter would not be delivered and it would lose its life.
Hearing the cry of carrier pigeons, Ye Jintang placed a small wooden board on the carriage window and sprinkled some pigeon food, and the carrier pigeons carefully landed on the board.
Xuetuan, who had just woken up, saw the carrier pigeon and his eyes turned green. After the pigeon landed, he kept lying on the roof of the carriage and stared at the pigeon. The pigeon was so scared that it flew away without eating a few bites of pigeon food.
"Xuetuan, can you stop thinking about my pigeons? If you want to eat chicken, there are many pheasants in the surrounding mountains and forests. Go catch them yourself."
"Meow......"
Xuetuan meowed lazily, stretched, jumped off the roof of the carriage, and soon disappeared into the mountains and forests by the roadside.
"Whose letter is it?"
Xiao Mo put down the half-wiped sword in his hand and turned to look at Ye Jintang.
"It was Liuli. She said she saw Yao Zhen buying medicinal herbs in Jianing City, and the quantity she bought was quite large."
Liuli also brought over the list of medicinal herbs that Yao Zhen had purchased.
Looking at the names of these medicinal herbs, Ye Jintang quickly searched for the corresponding prescriptions in his mind.
Xiao Mo, who was standing by, looked at Liuli's tiny calligraphy and couldn't help but praise her, "Liuli's handwriting is quite beautiful, even better than those ladies in the capital. It seems that she has practiced hard in the past."
"Ah."
Ye Jintang responded casually, and after a while she finally came up with two prescriptions.
"One is the Losing Mind Powder, which will make people lose their consciousness and mobility after taking it, just like a walking corpse. As long as there is no antidote, they will be like this for the rest of their lives."
"One is a line of throat poison. This poison is very strong. If you take a whiff of it, your throat will swell inexplicably and you will eventually suffocate to death."
Xiao Mo had heard of the poison Loss of Mind Powder before, but this was the first time he had heard of it.
"How can a swollen throat cause suffocation? How swollen would it be?"
"This recipe comes from the Divine Doctor Valley. It uses some organs in the throat area of the body. You can't feel it when you are not sick. After being poisoned, these organs suddenly swell up, blocking the throat and making it impossible to breathe. In the end, you suffocate to death."
"So it came from the Divine Doctor Valley. No wonder I haven't heard of it before. Since it came from the Divine Doctor Valley, it must be very poisonous."
"It just looks powerful. The detoxification pills I use every day can completely eliminate it."
Xiao Mo chuckled and couldn't help but praise, "You are still more skilled."
"Of course. Yao Zhen's medical skills are nothing compared to those of the Divine Doctor Valley. I am a disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley who was taught by an orthodox master."
"Do you have too much antidote? Give two antidote pills to everyone in the team. This way, if we encounter an emergency, everyone will be able to deal with it."
"I have no shortage of antidote pills."
"There are so many prescriptions, how do you know these are the two?"
Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment and finally asked the question in his mind. He always felt that his wife was becoming more and more outrageous.
"There are only a few herbs in total. I combined them together. In the end, only these two prescriptions can use all the herbs. I guess there shouldn't be any problem."
Xiao Mo had also looked at the prescription. There were more than 20 kinds of medicinal herbs on it. Ye Jintang must have a very good brain to find the correct prescription in such a short time.
With such a smart brain like hers, it's unjust that she doesn't make money in business.
"Imperial Noble Consort Dehui has been looking for Yao Zhen. She is not hiding honestly. Why did she suddenly think of making poison? Is she up to something bad again and wants to harm us?"
"It's hard to say. Yao Zhen and Zhou Quankun are a couple. Neither of them is a good person. I will send a letter to Liuli now and ask her to keep an eye on Yao Zhen."
Xiao Mo nodded, and then reminded, "Tell Liuli not to reveal her whereabouts."
"I see."
Liuli and Bai Ziyao were the only ones in Jianing City, with only four guards around them. If they really met Zhou Quankun, they would be in trouble.
In the following days, Ye Jintang received pigeon messages from Liuli from time to time. From the prescription of medicinal materials purchased by Yao Zhen at the back, her guess was correct. Yao Zhen wanted to make Shishen Powder and Yixianhou.
After confirming the prescription, Ye Jintang told Liuli not to follow Yao Zhen anymore, and asked the guards to keep an eye on her instead.
She was worried that if Liuli saw Yao Zhen and Zhou Quankun together along the way, she would not be able to bear it mentally.
It has to be said that Ye Jintang's worry was very accurate. When their carriage team was still a day's walk away from Jianing City, Zhou Quankun led his men into the city to pick up Yao Zhen.
"It seems that Zhou Quankun has already thought of how to ambush us. He didn't get any benefit from the last head-on confrontation, so he is trying to use underhanded tactics again."
"Your Majesty, please guess where Zhou Quankun will attack us. The two poisons can be made into pills or put into a bonfire to burn poisonous smoke."
"For now, it's definitely not Jianing City. I think they will choose Luojiu City."
"What do you mean? Why can't Jianing City do that?"
Ye Jintang was a little surprised.
