Chapter 700: Trouble, the Eastern Border is Tightly Guarded
The news that Wei Song brought back came from the palace. According to the palace spies, the emperor summoned a group of Dragon Staff Guards and secret agents this morning.
It seems that the emperor has learned the latest situation of the two teams he sent out. Whether it is Duti Valley or the East Ocean Empire, the emperor's plan to find a new miracle doctor has not made any feasible progress.
"Your Highness is truly a prophet!" Wei Song smiled widely and praised sincerely.
Ye Xiaohan ordered: "Continue to interfere with the emperor's people, don't let them succeed."
He had already said that it was impossible for the emperor and others to find new medical helpers.
On the one hand, Ye Xiaohan sent the secret guards who stayed near Duti Valley to interfere with the position of the Dragon Staff Guards. With Ye Xiaohan's people around, the emperor would have no chance of finding the position of Duti Valley.
On the other hand, Ye Xiaohan had already issued orders, ordering the soldiers stationed at the border between Zhongyue and the Dongyang Empire and the people of the Underworld Palace to make some small noises in secret. The gatekeepers of the Dongyang Empire noticed that there seemed to be something unusual at the border, and then they would strengthen the guards and check people entering and leaving the country more strictly. In this way, even if the emperor's people had qualified pass documents, it would be difficult for them to easily enter the Dongyang Empire.
Ye Xiaohan turned his head to look at Du Ziheng and said in a cold voice: "You are not allowed to leave the house during this period of time." The emperor will not give up until he sees Du Ziheng leave the house.
"I understand." Du Ziheng put down the medical book in his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, the emperor will not be content with this. Then the emperor will secretly spy on that side..."
"I have my own plans." Ye Xiaohan interrupted Du Ziheng before he could finish his words.
Then he instructed: "Send someone to keep an eye on the medicine boy that the emperor buried in the mansion. You don't need to tell me the rest of the details."
Du Ziheng rolled his eyes and nodded: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best."
That afternoon, Du Ziheng returned to Mingxiangyuan, a pharmacy specially opened for him by Ye Xiaohan.
Du Ziheng looked at the three little medicine boys and said calmly, "There are some herbs missing in the courtyard. I'll make a list and send someone out to buy them."
The three pharmacists put down their work, lowered their heads and waited for Doctor Du to call them.
Du Ziheng curled his lips slightly and glanced at everyone. Among them, a long-faced medicine boy even exchanged a glance with Du Ziheng.
Du Ziheng took out the list and pointed at the medicine boy with a long face.
"Xiaotiao, you go."
"I will complete the task well, Dr. Du, don't worry." The pharmacist replied with his eyes flashing slightly, and lowered his head to accept the task.
This medicine boy has an ordinary appearance, with no special features on his face, except for his long philtrum and chin, which makes his entire face relatively long.
Du Ziheng and other medicine boys often called it "Changtiaoer", or "Xiaotiao" for short.
Du Ziheng handed Xiao Tiao the prescription and randomly asked a pharmacist to accompany Xiao Tiao out.
Normally, Du Ziheng would stay at his own residence. As for the medicine boys, they all stayed at Du's residence, surrounded by guards. They did their own work every day and had no time or convenience to go out.
Recently, Du Ziheng has been keeping several of his medicine boys in the medicine courtyard of the Night Palace to work. The medicine courtyard is guarded by personal guards every day, and the medicine boys cannot easily move around inside the Night Palace. The information they know depends on what Du Ziheng will say to them.
Towards evening, two medicine boys brought back the herbs that Du Ziheng needed, and then they were busy in the pharmacy.
Du Ziheng looked deeply at a certain person, and that person's face was slightly tense. What a small cop, he should be an old cop, his mind is really deep!
The Night Palace had a secret guard following the two medicine boys out. When they were on the street, Xiao Tiao left the other medicine boy on the pretext of going to the toilet. Xiao Tiao flashed into a shop in a dark alley, and must have contacted the contact person to secretly pass on the message of the Night Palace.
Du Ziheng silently withdrew his gaze, and then gave the medicine boys a few small tasks to deal with the herbs. He smiled secretly in his heart: Haha, as expected, this medicine boy took the opportunity to go out and report the news again.
In the imperial study of the palace, the emperor looked at the note in his hand and smiled coldly.
The kneeling secret guard continued, "Your Majesty, our spies in the Night Palace said that Doctor Du has been busy making medicine for Princess Ye, so Doctor Du has no time to go out."
"Yeah." It turned out that Ye Xiaohan had not anticipated his every move, it was just that Du Ziheng happened to be inconvenient to go out.
The emperor felt slightly relieved and threw the note away.
"Tell him to try his best to find out more news about the Night Palace."
The secret guard responded and retreated. As soon as he left the room, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. It was said that letting the traitor get information was not that easy.
Doctor Du has his own house outside the Night King's Palace. Usually, Doctor Du and the medicine boys stay in the house. The medicine boys are busy with various affairs in the house, so they don't have many opportunities to inquire about the news.
What was even more difficult was that when Doctor Du went to the Night Palace, he rarely brought the medicine boys with him. Even if Doctor Du brought the medicine boys to the Night Palace, he usually left them busy in the medicine courtyard.
I heard that the area around the pharmacy is heavily guarded, because medicine has always been important, and there are many soldiers in the Night King's Palace who may need to use medicine on a daily basis. The safety of medicine cannot be taken lightly, so the guards are watching the pharmacy very closely.
The information that the spy they painstakingly arranged could find out was really limited!
The emperor can naturally think of the problems that the secret guards can think of.
But now, the only person he could use was the little medicine boy. Over the years, he tried to stuff a lot of people into the Night King's Palace, including well-trained servants, guards with good martial arts skills, and beautiful young ladies from aristocratic families.
As a result, they were all either beaten and thrown out of the house by Ye Xiaohan, or killed directly.
Whenever the emperor thought of this, his temples would throb with anger.
"Forget it. So what if I can't arrange for ordinary traitors to enter the Night Palace?"
He smiled coldly, "I can find a more powerful chess piece. It depends on whether my 'good brother' can bear it!"
Eunuch Li couldn't help but shudder. Whenever the emperor showed this expression, it meant that he was going to do something compulsory.
"Eunuch Li..."
"Your servant is here! What does the emperor want?"
"Have you completed what I asked you to do?" He had someone prepared to bring someone to the palace to see him.
"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged. We are just waiting for the right time to start planning."
The emperor said "hmm" with satisfaction, "Haha, very good..."
...
Yun Mujiu's eyelids twitched slightly, she stopped what she was doing, and raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead. Was she so tired that her eyelids were trembling?
She was busy in Qichiyuan the whole day today, either practicing martial arts or going into the medicine room to develop something.
Yun Mujiu looked at the four round hats on the table and nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good. Now I have four hats made of different materials. I will find some time to go out and test them."
It depends on whether the round hats made of different materials can block the signals sent by the doctor's system to her brain!
