Chapter 212 Secretly Interrogating the One-eyed Man
Immediately, Ximen Jingxuan's eyes darkened, but he couldn't move in time because when he relaxed, Lin Xiner accurately tapped his acupuncture points.
Although it was just a very common acupuncture technique, Ximen Jingxuan could break through it with just a little effort, but this very short time was enough for Lin Xiner to escape from under his nose.
Lin Xiner pulled Huangfu Yan Chong, suddenly raised her strength, and swept towards the horse not far away.
They got on the horse and galloped away together.
Although Yang Chen on one side also responded, he was unable to catch up with the galloping horse.
"Your Majesty." Yang Chen returned to Ximen Jingxuan.
Ximen Jingxuan had already opened the acupuncture points, but Lin Xiner had already run away without a trace.
"Go back home!" Ximen Jingxuan clenched his fists and hid them in his sleeves.
After Ximen Yin paid homage to Imperial Physician Chen, he left the Chen Mansion with Gu Qingcheng.
"Third Prince, let me take you back to the palace." Gu Qingcheng said. He knew that with Ximen Yin's physical strength, he could not stay outside for a long time. It was already breaking the usual rules to leave the palace with him twice a few days apart. When Ximen Yin proposed to him
When he came to pay homage to Imperial Physician Chen in person, he was a little surprised, but he understood that this was human nature.
"Wait a minute, I want to go to the ** Hall." Ximen Yin said, "I went there last time. I took some medicine and felt good. I want to go and see it again."
"Really? Well, I'll send the prince there right now." Gu Qingcheng said happily, "It seems that the largest pharmacy in the capital is well-deserved and is comparable to the imperial doctor in the palace."
"It is a blessing for the common people to have such a capable person among the common people. On the other hand, Imperial Physician Chen has devoted his whole life to me, which is a pity." Ximen Yin's words were still very sad.
"Third Prince, please." Gu Qingcheng didn't say anything. He called the carriage waiting aside and asked Ximen Yin to get in first, then he followed and sat in the carriage.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the ** Hall.
Although Ximen Yin was visiting incognito and no one knew his identity, most people recognized Gu Qingcheng, the young imperial official in red. Therefore, as soon as he entered the palace, he was greeted with special greetings.
After receiving the reception, the waiter directly led me to a high-end private room.
Of course, this is all seen on the surface. In fact, the master behind the scenes of **Tang, as the head shopkeeper of **Tang, would not fail to recognize him.
The big shopkeeper had heard from Southeast that the Lord was coming the day before. He didn't want to come so soon, so he hurriedly made arrangements.
The doctor in the pharmacy, under the instructions of the big shopkeeper, pretended to take Ximen Yin's pulse and then said, "The master's condition has indeed improved. Although it is not too obvious, it has definitely improved."
"One thing is good." Gu Qingcheng said, "If you really treat this young master well, you will definitely be rewarded."
"Master Gu, what are you saying? It is a doctor's bounden duty to treat illnesses and save people. Even if there is no reward, I will do my best." The doctor said.
"What are your plans now?" Ximen Yin asked, "How many more medicines will I need to prescribe?"
The doctor stroked his beard, thought for a while and said, "Forgive me for being disrespectful. I am going to give you acupuncture to cure the disease, and in conjunction with taking medicine, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Even if you may not be able to get rid of the root of the disease, you will be better than before."
"Listen to the doctor's words." Ximen Yin nodded.
"Okay, sir, please go to the acupuncture room with the old man." The doctor said, "I'm sorry, sir, please wait here."
"Can't I follow you?" Gu Qingcheng asked. After all, Ximen Yin is the prince, so he is always worried if he leaves alone.
"Lord Gu, you don't know. The acupuncture room is filled with medicinal fragrance, which is not conducive for healthy people to stay. It takes decades of conditioning for the elderly to adapt," the doctor explained.
"Qingcheng, it's okay, you can just wait here." Ximen Yin said, "Besides, the acupuncture room is right next to it. If you are worried, just stay outside."
Gu Qingcheng thought for a while and had no choice but to do this.
Ximen Yin walked into the acupuncture room with the doctor, while Gu Qingcheng moved a chair outside the door and sat down.
As soon as he entered the door, the big shopkeeper who was waiting inside quickly closed the door tightly. In order to make Gu Qingcheng believable, the inside was really smoked by a medicine stove, exuding a pungent smell of herbs.
The smell of medicine wafted out from the gap. Gu Qingcheng sniffed it, frowned, and moved a chair away.
"My lord, he has already avoided it." The big shopkeeper saw Gu Qingcheng sitting far away from the crack in the door and said to Ximen Yin.
Ximen Yin nodded, turned around and sat inside the room.
Although the smell of herbs is very strong, it is nothing to a person like him who needs medicine all year round.
"Where's the one-eyed man?" Ximen Yin asked.
"My subordinates have taken him to the next door. If you have any questions, please ask me." The big shopkeeper said, walking to a wall and tapping a few times.
In order to avoid suspicion, Ximen Yin would not easily meet with outsiders, so he used this method of blocking the interrogation, only hearing his voice but not seeing his person.
There was a reply from the other side of the wall soon, "Is your master here? I have a lot to say to him. He will definitely be very useful after hearing it."
It was the anxious voice of the one-eyed man.
Ximen Yin stood up and walked to the wall, saying in a deep voice, "Say."
"Are you the master?" the one-eyed man asked. He didn't want to waste his words in front of ordinary subordinates. His words could only be conveyed to his master and he could discuss the deal with him face to face.
They were afraid that what they said would be in vain, so the one-eyed people kept silent, hoping to speak only after seeing their master.
"Yes." Ximen Yin said.
"I can't see you, how can I be sure?" The one-eyed man couldn't believe it.
"You only have this one chance, believe it or not," Ximen Yin said nonchalantly.
There was silence for a moment on the other side of the wall, "Okay, I'll make a bet!"
The one-eyed man made a decision, "My condition is nothing else. As long as I can avenge Lord Marquis, let me become one of you, and I will have a share of the future."
"I never like to listen to people negotiating terms." Ximen Yin said, "But since you are also a loyal servant, I can listen to the weight of what you say."
The one-eyed man was silent for another moment, seemingly thinking about his final thoughts.
"Let me ask you, is Lin Xiner still the princess in Prince Xuan's palace?" After thinking about it, the one-eyed man asked.
"Of course." Ximen Yin's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't want this person to mention Princess Xuan first. Who did he want to talk about? Lin Xiner or Wang Yue?
"Haha, if that's the case, then Yinzhi is still there." The one-eyed man said after smiling.
"Who is Yinzhi?" Ximen Yin couldn't help but wonder.
"Yinzhi is now Lin Xiner, Princess Xuan, a masterpiece from Yuehua Kingdom." The one-eyed man said, "It seems that the entire army was not wiped out that day. There is still Yinzhi hidden in Prince Xuan's palace. You can contact her. Now
She is also helpless and will definitely be used by you."
Ximen Yin was doubly surprised by the one-eyed man's words. He originally thought that the current Princess Xuan was Wang Yue, but he didn't want Yinzhi to show up again.
"Tell me everything carefully," Ximen Yin said. It seems that this one-eyed man really knows something very important.
After listening to the one-eyed man's story, Ximen Yin realized that his trip out of the palace was really worthwhile. His previous negligence towards the one-eyed man almost caused him to miss something very important.
"I've told you everything I know. Maybe you will agree to my terms and let me have a good fight with you?" the one-eyed man asked.
"Let's talk about it later." Ximen Yin said calmly, turned around and walked out of the acupuncture room.
