Chapter 389 Xie Ying: The Prey She's Been Waiting For Has Finally Arrived
The imperial physicians naturally did not know Yang Xiu's plan.
As soon as they heard what Yang Xiu said, their faces changed color with fear.
The other party was the prince of Zhou, how could they dare to say that he was bothering them? So they hurriedly spoke to comfort him -
"Your Highness, please don't think so. Treating Your Highness is our duty."
"Your Highness has been poisoned and is already weak. You need to rest and recuperate. Don't worry too much."
"Your Highness, please be at ease..."
After comforting him, the imperial doctors took Yang Xiu's pulse, prescribed some warming and nourishing medicines, and gave him acupuncture.
After the acupuncture, Yang Xiu thanked them weakly, "Thank you, Imperial Physicians. I feel much better now. I just wonder if the Medicine God can find those herbs? When will he be back?"
At the end of his speech, he sighed with great regret, which made the imperial doctors feel a little annoyed.
They were also worried about the illness of the Crown Prince of Zhou, but the other party was only thinking about the Godly Doctor Yao, obviously despising their medical skills.
Several people were dissatisfied and blamed Yang Xiu, and they became even more dissatisfied with Feng Xinyi.
If she hadn't insisted on going into the mountains to collect herbs, the Prince of Zhou wouldn't have been so weak that he would vomit blood easily due to anger.
She suddenly went out to pick herbs at this time. Who knows if she was deliberately avoiding the trouble with the Prince of Zhou?
Yang Xiu successfully provoked the imperial physicians' dissatisfaction with the God of Medicine Doctor, and then he quietly pretended to be a sickly handsome man.
After the imperial doctors finished their consultation and left, he straightened up, leaned against the head of the bed, took out an exquisitely shaped mirror, and carefully examined his face.
The mirror was made of glass, and the reflection was crystal clear. Yang Xiu carefully examined his own face in the mirror. After a moment, he suddenly asked, "What did the people at the glass factory say? How are these glass and mirrors made?"
The attendant whispered, “Glass is made by firing, and the raw materials used are very common, but the specific ratio and furnace temperature are still unknown.
The management at the glass factory is very strict. It is divided into different workshops. Everyone is only responsible for their own work and is not allowed to ask questions randomly.
Emperor Taihe attached great importance to the glass factory and arranged many Black Kirin guards to go in and strictly prohibit any leak of secrets.
The production of glass mirrors is even more secretive. All workers are strictly scrutinized. If anyone inquires about something, they will be arrested and interrogated. The people who are planted there dare not ask anyone for information and can only wait for the right opportunity.
Yang Xiu frowned in dissatisfaction. "Then when will we be able to find out any useful information? Can we secretly capture the craftsman and interrogate him?"
The attendant shook his head helplessly: "Those key craftsmen are all under strict protection. Staff dormitories have been built directly inside the glass factory. Those craftsmen can only live in the staff dormitories and rarely go home.
I heard they're going to build some kind of residential building for family members over there, and then the whole family of the craftsmen can live in it, which will make it even more difficult to start."
Yang Xiu asked again, "Who made that glass? And those colorful colored glazes... Where did the princess find such a skilled craftsman who could make so many fine things?"
The attendant looked embarrassed: "Rumor has it that those things were thought up by the young prince of the Princess's Mansion."
"Heh." Yang Xiu sneered disdainfully, "Do you think it's possible? How old is that kid? I'm afraid he can't even recognize a few big characters. How could he possibly come up with so many good things?"
The more Yang Xiu spoke, the more disdain he expressed. "That princess is truly shameless, treating everyone in the world as fools! She'd dare to spread any outrageous things just to build momentum for her sickly child."
Emperor Taihe was also in cahoots with her, and used this incident as an excuse to confer the title of Prince on that sickly little fellow. This is truly ridiculous!"
The servant heard the strong bitterness in his tone and lowered his head without daring to respond.
Yang Xiu was indeed very jealous. Although he was the crown prince of Zhou, he would be a prince when he succeeded to the throne, which was much more honorable than Situ Yuan, who was a nominal prince without any fiefdom and could not inherit the title.
But he is still just the crown prince after all, and it is still a long way for him to succeed to the throne.
Situ Yuan was a sickly boy, but he became a prince at such a young age. How could he not be jealous?
The glass factory was making a fortune, making people jealous.
The attendant waited for a moment before cautiously saying, "If Your Highness wants to quickly understand the formula for glass and the method for making glass mirrors, I'm afraid you'll have to resort to risky tactics and capture a few key craftsmen to dig out what they know.
However, if this were to happen, the many spies the prince has planted in the capital would be exposed, causing Emperor Taihe to become wary and suspicious..."
Yang Xiu took a deep breath: "Don't take any risks!"
The strength they have accumulated is not enough, and the time has not come yet.
Now that it is exposed, the entire Zhou Palace will be easily crushed by the imperial army!
"Take your time with this matter. I don't believe they can keep the secret of the glass forever!"
Having said that, Yang Xiu paused, then continued, "Go down, I want to be alone."
The attendant bowed respectfully and left obediently.
Yang Xiu looked at the mirror again, then threw it aside and began to review the entire plan in his mind.
Although Yang Shu was a little stupid, she listened to him very much.
With Wang Kui's hidden move and Lin Xiao's skills, this matter will definitely go smoothly.
He doesn't need to be anxious, he just needs to lie low and wait for things to succeed.
I hope that the girl from the Xie family is really a lucky star and can bring them unexpected benefits in the future.
Thinking of the coal mine bought by Xie Xiu and the big pits that Emperor Taihe secretly asked the Black Qilin Guards to dig, Yang Xiu couldn't help but look forward to the future.
The King of Zhou has a fairly large fiefdom. If they can dig out a few mines, it will be easier for them to recruit soldiers and accumulate strength in the future!
The more he thought about it, the more greedy he became, and gradually he became impatient, hoping that night would fall quickly so that he could steal Xie Ying away under the cover of darkness.
Just as he was tormented for a while, it was finally night.
It was just nightfall and many people had not yet gone to bed, so Yang Xiu did not dare let Lin Xiao take action immediately.
He managed to wait until the dead of night, then said to Lin Xiao, "It's almost time. You go. After you take the person out of the capital, don't delay. Move quickly. The horses are ready outside the city. Gallop all the way. When you get there, someone will meet you. After handing the person over to them, come back immediately."
Lin Xiao had already changed into black clothes. He nodded, pulled up the black cloth to cover his face, and then strode out.
In the night, he was like a ghost, his figure moving quickly through the darkness.
Prince Zhou's Mansion was not far from Xie's residence, so Lin Xiao quickly arrived at Xie's residence, found a secluded corner, climbed over the wall easily, and went straight to the main courtyard.
It was very quiet in Xie's house, and Lin Xiao didn't even see the patrolling guards.
However, what he didn't know was that the moment he entered Xie's house, Xie Ying, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes and raised her lips excitedly: the prey she had been waiting for had finally arrived.
