Chapter 986

Doctor Zhang also nodded in agreement and said, "The empress is right. If this Netherworld Grass really can cure the snake poison, then the person who sent it must have good intentions and not be the culprit."

After the two of them said this, Mo Chuan couldn't make up his mind.

"Little Four, go take a look. Which official's family sent this medicine box?"

"Reporting to the emperor, it's ….. It's the guard of the city gates He, He Shou Zheng." Xiao Si looked at the name card on the box and couldn't help feeling surprised.

Hearing this, Mo Chuan also revealed a look of surprise.

This He Shou Zheng was just a small official responsible for guarding the palace gates. He was a seventh grade official and didn't have any status in the court. It was completely different from Chen Ning's expectations of the culprit.

"It can't be him." Mo Chuan couldn't help shaking his head.

A small city gate official, how could he have the courage to harm the emperor and empress? Even if he succeeded, what good would it do him?

Chen Ning's eyes lit up as she said, "It's just a small city gate official. If he wasn't confident that the thing he sent could cure my poison, he would not send a poisonous grass into the palace. I think this person is very suspicious. He is not the real culprit, but he is a chess piece for the culprit!" Chen Ning's eyes lit up as she said, "You can't be the culprit, but you can be the culprit's chess piece!"

"Ning 'er, what do you mean?" Mo Chuan couldn't understand the meaning behind her words, "Didn't the real culprit want to kill people? Why would he want to save people? If this He Shou Zheng isn't the real culprit, could it be that the real culprit is someone else? "

Chen Ning let out a sigh and said, "This culprit is very cunning, he's even smarter than I thought. I wanted to beat the grass to scare the snake and lure the snake out of its hole, but he already expected this move, so he took advantage of the situation and pushed a small city gate official to test our attitude. This Netherworld Grass seems like it really is the antidote for my snake poison. He doesn't want to save me, but rather wants to make this matter flawless. He will continue to hide behind the scenes, making it impossible for us to find his fox tail." Chen Ning sighed and said, "This murderer is very cunning, he is even smarter than I thought.

A cold glow flashed in Mo Chuan's eyes and he said in a hateful voice, "If it's like this, wouldn't we have wasted our time? This culprit is very sly! "

"We haven't wasted our time. Since this He Shou Zheng can be used by him, naturally he can be used by us. Why don't we beat him at his own game, casting a long line to catch a big fish!"

Chen Ning said with a smile.

"Ning 'er, how do you think we should beat him at his own game?" Mo Chuan saw her narrowing her eyes and knew that her idea had popped out again. He Shou Zheng's eyes were filled with admiration and laughter.

"You can send Zhui Feng to investigate this matter. He is the best hidden guard by your side, coming and going without a trace. Let him follow beside He Shou Zheng and see what kind of people He Shou Zheng has been interacting with recently. If there are any strange movements, we can follow the clues and find the person hiding in the shadows."

"Good! It really is a good trick! "Mo Chuan couldn't help pinching her nose with a smile," Were you a fox in your previous life? "Chen" to be "Ning", "Chen" is "Chen" Chen "

Chen Ning giggled and then said, "You also need to write an imperial edict to greatly reward this He Shou Zheng, giving him a large official position. This way, the real culprit's suspicions won't be aroused."

"Alright, then this one will immediately write an imperial edict. Xiao Si, grind the ink!"

Mo Chuan immediately picked up the brush and wrote an imperial edict.
