Chapter 1405 You come and I go (December 3rd)

Eunuch Wu quickly agreed and asked the palace attendants who led her out of the palace to carefully serve Man Bao when she left the palace.

Man Bao waited for Eunuch Wu to leave, then carried the medicine box and walked to the gate of the East Palace. As soon as she walked out of the gate, she said to the palace maid who led her out: "Sister, please go back. I can walk the rest of the way by myself."

"It's better to let your servant take you out of the palace."

Man Bao smiled and said: "It will take more than four-quarters of an hour to go back and forth. I am already familiar with this road. Just keep walking along the palace wall. It is getting dark now, and you can't pass in the palace."

How long will it take for dinner to begin? My sister sent it to me and it was cold when I came back. Eating cold food on such a day is not good for my stomach."

When the palace maid heard this, she hesitated for a moment and then bowed and said gratefully: "It's easy for you, little doctor Zhou, so I'll go back first."

Man Bao nodded and watched her leave with a smile, then turned to look at Mr. Tang who was walking slowly in front of him, wishing he could take one step in three steps.

She took the medicine box and ran up to chase him.

Master Tang heard the sound of footsteps, stopped and turned back with a smile.

Man Bao ran up carrying the medicine box. The medicine box was too heavy and he couldn't help but gasp.

He asked with a smile: "Why don't you bring a medicine boy into the palace?"

Man Bao shook his head and said: "The risk is too great, I can do it myself."

Mr. Tang couldn't help but stretched out his hand to lift the medicine box for her. Man Bao didn't let go. He thanked him for his kindness and said that as long as she didn't run away with the medicine box, she could still carry it.

Mr. Tang smiled and let go, saying, "You are much more sensible now."

Man Bao smiled and asked curiously: "Why did Mr. Tang come to the East Palace?"

Mr. Tang smiled and said, "I heard that you and Bai Shan are engaged? You can call me Senior Brother with him." Man Bao followed the good example and said, "Senior Brother Tang."

Mr. Tang smiled and nodded, and then answered her question, "I was ordered to come to the East Palace to check something."

Man Bao almost thought that the prince's affair had happened, but Master Tang said: "You have been in the palace before, so you should know about the prince's drunkenness."

Man Bao nodded blankly.

"The prince's wine was changed. This is a big deal. It was just a different type of wine that day. If we don't find out, what will happen if someone adds something to the wine in the future?"

Man Bao said: "Can the wine with added ingredients still be sent to the imperial court?"

Mr. Tang thought for a while, it was really not easy, but of course he wanted to make the situation more serious now, so he said: "Who knows this?"

He walked slowly along the city wall with Man Bao and asked, "Is the prince's temper better recently? Has he given you any trouble?"

Man Bao shook his head, "Even though he has a bad temper, he rarely makes things difficult for me."

Mr. Tang couldn't figure out for a while whether the prince had a good temper or a bad one.

When will this little girl be able to respond to inquiries?

Master Tang turned to look at her.

Man Bao raised his head and smiled naively at him, asking: "Senior Brother Tang, have you found out anything?"

Mr. Tang shook his head, "It's been too long, and the people in the East Palace can't remember much. What can we find out in this short while? The prince still doesn't want to see me."

He smiled and said, "I still want to inquire with you. I thought you might be able to hear some rumors since you often come in and out of the East Palace."

Man Bao was in disbelief, "Isn't the prince a victim? How could I know about the harm to the prince when I go in and out of the East Palace?"

Mr. Tang said: "The banquet hall has been evacuated long ago. One of the palace servants who served the wine died at that time, and the others didn't know anything about it. All the people attending the meeting were princes and important ministers. I have been prevaricated for the past two days. After thinking about it, I still think it's better to be in the East Palace."

There may be more clues.”

"Why?"

"I can't find the person who did the harm, so I can only look for the victim. After all, the enemies know each other best. Besides, I think if they can't succeed in one plan, they will always have another plan."

Man Bao then thought of the rooster gem. According to the prince, that gem was given to him by the people below to please him after the banquet, so...

Mr. Tang had been paying attention to Man Bao's expression. Seeing her thoughtful look, he asked softly: "What did you remember?"

Just when Man Bao was about to speak, he suddenly woke up and shook his head, "No, I didn't think of anything."

This sounds very fishy when you hear it.

Man Bao met Mr. Tang's seemingly insightful gaze and tensed her nerves instantly. She felt that such a matter could not be discussed face to face with Mr. Tang.

So she tightened her hand holding the medicine box and immediately said: "Mr. Tang, I'll leave first if I have something else to do. You go slowly."

Mr. Tang reached out and grabbed her by the back collar to stop her from running away, saying, "You are so ruthless. Just now you were a senior, and now you are Mr. Tang."

Man Bao said: "If you don't let me go, I will go find Mrs. Tang soon after I leave the palace."

Mr. Tang immediately let go, but quickly followed her pace and said with a smile: "Did you see that the patrolling guards in front will have to walk at least fifty-eight breaths before they meet us. When they walk over,

It will take one hundred and eighty seconds for the next group of guards to come, so you can tell me the secret quietly and no one will know."

Man Bao shook his head, "There is no secret."

Mr. Tang smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't tell me, but we walked all the way from the gate of the East Palace to the gate of the palace, more than two quarters of an hour in between. Do you think others will believe that we didn't say anything?"

He said slowly: "You know, the relationship between us is very deep. The case of King Yizhou was my cover for you. Everyone in the capital knows that you have a good relationship with me and Changbo."

Man Bao couldn't help but slow down and asked: "So you did it on purpose just now?"

Master Tang shook his head, "No, no, I'm walking slowly in the corridor. If you want to avoid me, just ask the palace maid to take you out of the palace. After all, we are friends, why would I embarrass you?"

He said: "But you sent people away, came up to call me senior, and asked for information from me. I told you everything I knew. You can't just tell me nothing, right? You're too much

broken."

Man Bao felt like she was bad when she heard this, but she always remembered her feelings. She had not forgotten all the things Master Tang had done to induce confessions from her.

Man Bao looked at him suspiciously, "Did you really tell me everything?"

"Not really," Mr. Tang said simply, "but there is too much information. What kind of news do you want to hear? Just ask and I will tell you."

Manbao wanted to ask a lot of questions, but she didn't open her mouth immediately. Looking at the smiling Mr. Tang, she always felt that she could only ask one question. If she asked too many questions, she would definitely regret it today, so she thought about it.

After a while, he said, "It's really strange. The emperor didn't investigate this matter much before, so why did he suddenly ask you to investigate this matter half a month later?"
