After spending the night together with the children, they also learned about things in their respective cities. The next day, Yuan Qingling would set off back to Beijing.
She couldn't wait to see if the blood of Sedum and the ice water collected from the ice lake contained ice worms.
Since Qihuo hadn't returned yet, she took Qihuo out and told her to keep the matter secret from Gua'er for the time being.
Qi Huo patted his chest and promised that he would never say anything, which reassured Yuan Qing Ling.
But when Yuan Qingling looked at his serious look, she couldn't feel relieved.
I always felt like he would spill the beans.
Unable to help but warn me a few more times, Qihuo became a little angry, "Can't you trust me?
If I don’t say it, I won’t say it.”
Yuan Qingling could only say: "Okay, you remember."
"Okay, you go and say goodbye to the children."
Raise your hands like praying for fire to shoo away flies.
This queen is young and very verbose.
After Yuan Qingling went to say goodbye to the children, she set off back to Beijing.
Within a day, I returned to the capital and the palace.
After briefly explaining the situation to Lao Wu, she dove into the laboratory.
I took Sedum's blood and put it under a microscope, and sure enough I found ice worms, which were the same as those in Lao Wu's blood, but more active than Lao Wu's.
Then I took water from the glacial lake and put it on the lens to observe, but I didn't find it.
None of them were found in the samples collected from several places. Maybe they were not infected from the glacial lake.
Yuan Qingling was quite discouraged because he could not trace the origin of the ice bug.
But you can first observe the ice bugs in the blood of Sedum, separate them, and put them in different temperatures to see the reproduction ability and survival of the ice bugs.
After finishing this matter, she felt that she should let Lao Wu know his own abilities.
I hope it doesn't scare him.
Dragging tired footsteps back to Xiaoyue Palace, Lao Wu has not come back yet, Lu Ya said: "Mother, the emperor just called Eunuch Mu Ru back to tell him that he will not be back until midnight tonight."
"so late?
Did you say you were busy with something?"
Yuan Qingling sat down and asked.
It was afternoon when she came back today. She just talked briefly for a while, then she went to work, and so did the fifth child.
"I didn't say anything, just that I was busy in the imperial study room."
Luya Road.
"OK."
Yuan Qingling packed up her clothes and went to take a bath, casually ate some dinner, and asked Lu Ya to go to the imperial study to see if Lao Wu had eaten.
In the past two years, Lao Wu has sometimes been busy and neglected to eat. Last year, she had several stomachaches. After that, she became strict and insisted that three meals must be timed.
But he still couldn't do it. Sometimes they were discussing things and she didn't want to disturb them, so she sent them meals and had to wait for more than an hour before eating them. The food was cold and she didn't care.
When Lao Wu gets busy, he becomes a desperate Wu Lang.
Luya smiled and said: "Don't worry, Grandma Xi will send it to you personally."
Yuan Qing Ling was startled, "Has Grandma Xi entered the palace?"
"Well, she heard before that the prince was back and wanted to see the prince. However, she packed up her clothes and returned to the palace. The prince returned to the military camp. It happened that you were out, so she was here to take care of the emperor."
"So that's it."
Yuan Qingling thought it would be better to go there in person, as Grandma Xi was old and could not stay up late to watch over her.
When she arrived at the royal study, Eunuch Mu Ru and Aunt Xi were waiting outside. When they saw her coming, they hurriedly came over and asked, "Mother, why are you here?"
"Let me see if Lao Wu has eaten, has something happened?
Still discussing matters so late at night."
Yuan Qingling saw that although the door was closed, the lights were lit inside, and she saw several familiar figures, including Tang Yang, Lord Leng, Hongye, Fourth Master, and a few others.
Eunuch Mu Ru said softly: "It is said that there was fraud in the annual examination in Jizhou, and the emperor was furious."
Yuan Qing Ling frowned. Lao Wu attached great importance to the imperial court's recruitment of scholars. During his tenure, he severely cracked down on fraud in the examination room. How come there are still people who commit crimes despite this?
I'm really crazy about money.
There is fraud in Jizhou, and there are probably signs of it in other places. If it is not suppressed, it will probably start a prairie fire like a spark.
Lao Wu attaches great importance to literati. He always said that military generals protect the country and literati govern the country. Only now that we are sitting in the country can we understand the usefulness of literati.
Moreover, he always said that if the people want to change their destiny, they have to study hard for more than ten years in a poor window and become a scholar in the imperial examination. Once they cheat, the talented people will be kicked out. This really goes against his emphasis on literati.
governance strategies.
Moreover, those who are dismissed will be dissatisfied with the court. Literati are the ones who hold the pen. If they are resentful, the country's aura will be weak.
"Did he eat it?"
Yuan Qingling asked.
Mu Rugong said: "After eating, Aunt Xi ordered the people in the imperial kitchen to cook the food; the emperor and several adults ate together."
Yuan Qingling felt relieved and looked around, "Where is Xu Yi?
Xu Yi didn’t stay here?”
"Master Xu has gone back to pack his things. Tomorrow he will go to Jizhou with King Qi to thoroughly investigate the fraud case."
"good."
Yuan Qingling stopped waiting here, lest Lao Wu know that she was anxious here. She looked at Aunt Xi and said, "Stop staying here, go back and rest quickly."
Aunt Xi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm here to talk to Mu Ru. I haven't chatted with him about things in the palace for a long time."
In Prince Su's Mansion, Grandma Xi mainly adhered to the principle of going to bed early and getting up early to maintain health, and rarely stayed up late. It was rare for her to be happy, so Yuan Qingling let her go to the laboratory by herself.
Anyway, Lao Wu didn't come back, and she couldn't sleep alone, so she might as well take a look at the data book. Although a crucial page was missing, I was afraid that she had missed something, or that some parts needed to be reviewed.
After flipping through it again, I still found that the missing page was crucial data. Without this page, the subsequent data would be incomplete.
Yuan Qingling murmured: "Where did you say you went?
Why leave a half-finished product behind?
It seems that it is very effective against ice bug infections like Lao Wu, but I don't dare to use it on Sedum until the test is completed."
Close the data book. There are two letters lr on the back of the book. Yang Ruhai said that the name of this medicine is named after the first and last pinyin of the expert's name. lr, is the surname Liang or Li Long?
There are too many surnames starting with l, so it’s impossible to search them with your mind.
Yang Ruhai didn't disclose much information about her. She had no idea what her name was, where she graduated, and where she worked before going to the graduate school.
I always felt that this person's identity was very mysterious, and although Yang Ruhai said he was looking for her, he didn't seem to be worried about her.
It is really strange that Yang Ruhai disappeared without any reason and his whereabouts are unknown. Moreover, Yang Ruhai cannot be found despite his ability.
No matter what, I just hope she is safe and sound.
I observed the ice bug again, recorded it, and then meditated on the curse and the ice bug together as Qihuo said. I felt that what Coke and Qixi said was relatively reliable.
If the Wanyan family's curse is in the form of ice bugs, then the people of the Wanyan family who were cursed before should also have ice bugs parasitizing their bodies. Do they also know the art of controlling water to turn into ice?
You still have to send a letter to Qihuo to investigate this matter. You should have asked at that time.
The inhibitor Yang Ruhai gave her was too strong, and her brain was no longer as good as before.
