The information about the emperor's physical condition soon came to Yang Yong's hands. The emperor could eat and sleep. Every night, Xuan Hua and Rong Fu had to accompany him, as if he could not finish using it every day and energy. Looking at the information in his hand, Yang Yong became confused again. Did he guess wrong?

Lu Mulin stood respectfully, waiting for Yang Yong's instructions. For Xu Cheng, who had dispatched so many people these days but had not found the missing one, Lu Mulin always felt a little guilty. Seeing the suspicion on Yang Yong's face, he suggested: "Your Highness, can you start with Doctor Xu next to the emperor?"

The Xu doctor who Lu Mulin mentioned was naturally Xu Zhizang, who took over Xu Cheng. He is undoubtedly the one who knows the emperor's physical condition best now. Speaking of which, the relationship between the Eastern Palace and the Imperial Medical Office was not very good. When Yang Shuang was sick, the Imperial Medical Office was helpless, and the Imperial Medical Office was also helpless at the same time. This made the Imperial Medical Office in the Imperial Medical Office lose face. It would be fine if the two were really helpless, but the two improved considerably after Sun Simiao took action.

Who is Sun Simiao? He was respected as the King of Medicine in later generations. Even if it was not once a thousand years, it would be once every five hundred years. But the imperial physicians would not think so. He only felt that Sun Simiao had wiped out their face. If he wanted to find it back, at least he had to re-arrange the imperial physicians to treat the crown princess.

Yang Yong had no disgust towards the imperial physicians. After all, there was no three-point three, and it was impossible to survive in the Imperial Medical Office. However, compared with the life of the Crown Princess, the Imperial Medical Office naturally would not sell the face. With Sun Simiao, he naturally would not use these medicines prescribed by the Imperial Medical Office. In addition, in order to prepare pharmaceutical agents for Yuan Qing'er's disease, some of the medicinal materials that Shang Pharmacy had been wiped out by the Eastern Palace. After a while, the Eastern Palace and the Imperial Medical Office naturally had knots.

After Sun Simiao returned from another place, in order to keep Sun Simiao in the capital, Yang Yong opened another medical school under the Agricultural College and appointed Sun Simiao as the dean. Now this medical school is already very large, with more than 200 people including apprentices. The medical school has investment in the Agricultural College and does not need to make money. It treats civilians in the capital, charges low fees, and sometimes free treatment, which brings great reputation to both the Agricultural College and Sun Simiao.

Of course, it also led to dissatisfaction among many colleagues. However, everyone knows that the Medical College has a prince as a backer, and no one dares to use private means to deal with the Medical College. Many of these colleagues also have connections with the Imperial Physicians in the Imperial Physicians, which has affected their business. The extra money of the Imperial Physicians naturally decreased, which made some Imperial Physicians even more jealous of Sun Simiao, and also affected the relationship between the Imperial Physicians and the Eastern Palace.

If you start from Xu Zhizang, you can certainly determine the emperor's physical condition. However, Xu Zhizang is now in Renshou Palace. If you want to start from him, you will risk the person lurking in Renshou Palace in the East Palace being discovered. Yang Yong thought about it and shook his head to reject it: "No need, let the secret guards strengthen their defense. The messages from Renshou Palace are transmitted once a day to twice a day. If there is an emergency, the method of expedited transmission can be activated."

"Yes, the emperor obeys the order." Lu Mulin bowed and turned around.

The so-called urgent transmission naturally refers to the carrier pigeon. If it is general information, it will take at least one day. If the carrier pigeon is activated, the news from Renshou Palace can be transmitted to Yang Yong within one hour. However, the carrier pigeon is far less useful than some novels. Using carrier pigeons to carry messages, the accuracy rate can reach 60% or 70% is good. Raptors, hunters, and disorientation may cause losses to the carrier pigeon. Therefore, although the carrier pigeon is fast, it is impossible to use carrier pigeons to transmit messages frequently. It can only be used in emergency situations. And several must be released each time to ensure that the letters arrive 100%. As for the possible leaks, there is no one. Yang Yong does not believe that anyone in this era can decipher the password and write letters.

As Lu Mulin's instructions were issued, all the strong men who suddenly appeared on the official road from Renshou Palace to the capital disappeared, and those people seemed to have never existed.

A few days later, the Imperial Medical Office, which had not seen Xu Cheng come to work for a long time, finally found something was wrong. First, he went to Xu Cheng's home to ask. Of course, there was no one in Xu Cheng's home. Then the Imperial Medical Office went to the Ministry of Personnel to inquire. The Imperial Medical Office did not see Xu Cheng's return report. The Imperial Medical Office suddenly panicked. Xu Cheng was Shang Pharmacopoeia and was still the highest official of the Imperial Medical Office. In the end, the situation was reported to the Shangshu Province through the Ministry of Personnel.

Since Shang Pharmacopeia Yu disappeared on the road from Renshou Palace to the capital, except for Yang Yong already knowing it, Su Wei and the Minister of Personnel Niu Hong were all surprised and immediately suggested to investigate in detail. Yang Yong naturally would not reject it. Jingzhao Cheng Guo Yan did not dare to neglect the post from the Shangshu Province, and personally arranged for the yamen runners to investigate everywhere.

Guo Yan was born into a family of officials. His father Guo Chong once served as a Shizhong. Guo Yan was brave and good at riding and shooting when he was young. He led troops to fight with Qi, Turks and other countries many times and won victory. Moreover, Guo Yan was different from ordinary military generals and was good at civil affairs. In the fifth year of Kaihuang, Guo Yan was the governor of Luzhou. After taking office, he happened to be a disaster. Most of the counties under Luzhou were flooded. Guo Yan personally prepared boats and rafts and food to rescue disasters, and first opened warehouses to provide relief, and then reported to the emperor. This move was highly praised by Yang Jian, who was more sympathetic to the people, and was promoted to the general manager of Shuozhou. Shuozhou is located in a remote area, especially Heng'an Town (now northwest of Datong County, Shanxi Province). It was very inconvenient to transport grain and poultry. Guo Yan chose a place to farm here, not only to achieve self-sufficiency in food, but also to have more than ten thousand stones left in the year.

It is precisely because Guo Yan is both literary and martial, that the position of Jingzhao Yin fell on Guo Yan. Jingzhao Yin is only a fourth-rank official, but his power is very important and he is responsible for maintaining the public order of the entire capital. There are 5,000 troops in the capital who belong to Jingzhao Yin. In addition to the general of the twelve guards, the most important force in the capital.

Such a person will undoubtedly play an important role once there is something wrong in the capital. The Eastern Palace should strive for good friendship, but Yang Yong dared not trust this person. After Yang Guang was appointed as the general manager of Yangzhou, Guo Yan also followed him. He quelled several anti-Sui rebellions in the former land of Southern Chen, gained a lot of reputation for Yang Guang. Later, he became the governor of Hongzhou and frequently traveled between Hongyang and the two prefectures. The secret guards sent back information about Guo Yan's secret talks with the King of Jin many times.

Although it was impossible to know what Guo Yan and Yang Guang had a secret conversation, Yang Yong subconsciously became suspicious of Guo Yan. After Guo Yan was transferred to Jingzhao Yin, when Yang Yong was suspicious of the emperor, Guo Yan actually didn't take the East Palace seriously, which made Yang Yong even more disgusted. Later, after Yang Yong was trusted by the emperor again, Guo Yan leaned over to the East Palace again, but Yang Yong could not accept him. Guo Yan later realized this and regarded Yang Guang as his backer again.

The reason why Yang Yong did not tell Guo Yan about Xu Cheng's disappearance was actually because he wanted to make things difficult for him on purpose. Of course, it would be good to let Guo Yan fall into trouble. It would be better to transfer Guo Yan from Jingzhao Yin's position.

Although Guo Yan is a fence-bearer, his talent is indeed good. Otherwise, he would not have been firmly in the position of Jingzhao Yin. It only took a day for his yamen runners to find the missing post station in Xu Cheng. However, the yamen runners could only stop there. The secret guards could not find out seven or eight days in advance, so Guo Yan's subordinates naturally could not find out either.

At this moment, Guo Yan suddenly became embarrassed. A fifth-rank official disappeared for no reason and was a minister who treated the emperor. If no one of them explained, he would be unreasonable as Jingzhao Yin.

"Mr. Guo, are you saying that Xu Dianyu sneaked away by himself?" Yang Yong looked down at Guo Yan, who was standing in front of him, and asked in a conversation.

"Yes, Your Highness, Prince." Guo Yan said with a tough bullet. Three men, if they were missing at the post station, were too unbelievable. If there was a problem with the post station, several court officials moved into the same night, and several other officials could testify. No abnormality was heard that day, and Guo Yan could not impose the charge on the post station. In desperation, he could only report in this way to lift his responsibility.

"Bastard, Xu Dianyu has been in the Imperial Hospital for twenty years and has been working diligently. How could he sneak away by himself? Could it be that you are incompetent and deliberately shirk responsibility?" Yang Yong suddenly slapped the table and scolded Guo Yan.

The prince was always gentle and polite. He suddenly became angry. Not only did Guo Yan get offended, but Su Wei, Pei Ju, Niu Hong and others were also surprised and looked at Yang Yong in surprise.

Guo Yan knelt down on the ground with a pounce, but there was no panic in his heart. Before he came, he had already thought that the prince might take advantage of the situation. At worst, he would be scolded by the prince and insisted: "Go back to your highness, the official did not find any trace of Lord Xu being kidnapped. Lord Xu slipped away by himself, just guessing. If Your Highness is dissatisfied, you can take off your official position and send someone else to inquire."

"Don't talk nonsense, do you think the official position in the court is so worthless, you can just take it if you want?" Yang Yong hummed. He really wanted to take it away from Guo Yan's position, but he could only think about it. Without the emperor's approval, Guo Yan's official position was as stable as Mount Tai.

"The lower official has no such intention." Guo Yan still lay on the ground, lowered his head and said with weakness.

"Your Highness, since Lord Guo cannot find out, why should I report it to the emperor for criticism?" Su Wei hurriedly smoothed out the situation in the middle.

"Well, it's okay to submit it to the emperor for approval." Yang Yong nodded and agreed, and everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
