Gu Qing relied on his eloquent tongue to leave Cui He speechless for a moment.

Cuihe didn't say anything. After trying to persuade her several times and seeing that she still had no appetite, Cuihe didn't say anything more, but simply opened the door and walked out.

The room was empty, with only Gu Qing left.

This familiar furnishings and decorations, even the incense, were the same as what she usually used at the Chen family...

Obviously, Li Xiangsheng's people are also in the Chen family.

She paced back and forth in the room, feeling very confused.

I don’t know how Chen Zhizhou and the others are doing now. If Chen Zhizhou has never known that there is a traitor in the Chen family, it will be extremely disadvantageous for them!

Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound outside.

Gu Qing suddenly realized that what she feared most had finally happened.

The old imperial physician from the palace was on his way in.

She quickly ran to the bed, put the quilt on herself, and pretended to be taking a nap.

Cui He knocked on the door with her hand, "Young lady, I have brought a doctor to help you take a look. Don't worry, it's because you ate something unclean before. It was also His Highness's wish that he asked me to send someone to take good care of you..."

Cuihe moved Li Xiangsheng out.

Gu Qing knew that he would have to meet with the imperial physician today, and he would not be able to avoid this matter!

Li Xiangsheng did this, firstly, to ask the imperial physician to examine her body to see if she had any symptoms, or if she had concealed anything from him, and secondly, he wanted to let people outside know that Gu Qing was now living in his villa.

In this way, there is no turning back for Gu Qing.

If Chen Zhizhou continued to protect and condone him, the Chen family would be like fish on his chopping board. If Chen Zhizhou got furious and wanted to do something at this time, he would lose his composure and it would just be in line with Li Xiangsheng's wishes.

"I'm resting now. Do I have to see the patient now?" Gu Qing asked in a cold voice.

Cui He responded in a low voice, without giving Gu Qing a chance to refuse. She pushed open the bedroom door and walked in quickly with the old imperial physician on her own initiative.

The person in front of me is Imperial Physician Zhang!

Gu Qing had often seen the old imperial physician in the palace. Some time ago, when Chen's father took poison and pretended to be sick at home, Imperial Physician Zhang often went to check on him...

At that time, she had doubts and talked to Chen Zhizhou, fearing that this imperial physician Zhang was also Li Xiangsheng's man.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have run to Chen's house twice a day. His purpose was to see what kind of illness Chen's father had and whether he would reveal the truth.

"This..." As soon as Imperial Physician Zhang entered the room, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a person sitting half-leaning on the bed. He was shocked and fell to his knees in panic.

Cui He looked at Imperial Physician Zhang with a smile, and slowly said, "What are you doing, Imperial Physician Zhang? His Highness has ordered that you only need to see the patient. As for other things, don't worry about them. There are some things that you should see, and some things that you shouldn't know. It's best not to know them."

"Yes." Imperial Physician Zhang deliberately looked embarrassed.

Gu Qing reluctantly sat up, rolled up her sleeves, and placed her arms on the soft embroidered pillow.

But this Imperial Physician Zhang started to find fault at this moment. He turned his old face away and then snorted coldly at Cui He, saying, "There are differences between men and women. I'd better step aside. Please help me find a piece of silk thread, young lady."

Cuihe didn't say much. After hearing what the old imperial physician said, she hurried down to do it.

Gu Qing sat up straight on the bed. She glanced at the old imperial physician. This man was still pretentious...

Isn't this just covering one's ears and stealing the bell?

He's clearly seen his face, yet he's still asking people to prepare some silk thread for him. This...

Gu Qing couldn't help laughing and sneered with a bit of contempt.

Right now!

Imperial Physician Zhang suddenly threw a brocade bag towards Gu Qing...

This move startled Gu Qing.

But there were so many eyes and people guarding outside the door. Gu Qing was surprised, but did not dare to open the brocade bag to look at it at this time.

"Okay, Imperial Physician Zhang, please go in." Cui He took the silk thread back and then followed Imperial Physician Zhang's instructions. She tied one end of the silk thread to Gu Qing's wrist and handed the other end to Imperial Physician Zhang.

"I've already said that I'm not sick, I've just been in a bad mood recently. It's hard for Your Highness to be so concerned about me even though he's been so busy with official duties lately. I'm really flattered." Gu Qing murmured to himself.

Cui He looked at Gu Qing with a smile, then turned her gaze to the Imperial Physician Zhang standing in front of her, "Young lady, just stay with His Highness. Your wealth and glory are still to come."

Imperial Physician Zhang examined her pulse for a long time before slowly speaking, "Young lady, I'm afraid you're just worrying too much. It's nothing serious. I'll prescribe a few medicines for you when I get back. As long as you take them on time and get some rest and sleep, you'll be back in a few days."

"Then I'll trouble Imperial Physician Zhang. Old Imperial Physician, please come this way." Cui He didn't give Imperial Physician Zhang and Gu Qing any chance to negotiate. After he finished taking Gu Qing's pulse, she directly asked him to leave.

Gu Qing's intuition told him that this old imperial physician should also be Chen Zhizhou's man.

After all, the embroidery pattern on the brocade bag was made by my mother-in-law. She was too familiar with the Chen family's embroidery craftsmanship...

However, this was an extremely dangerous moment, and she didn't dare to take a gamble rashly.

While Cui He was taking Imperial Physician Zhang away, Gu Qing quickly placed the brocade bag under her pillow. It would be better to wait and see until she found a suitable opportunity to open it.

What she never expected was that Li Xiangsheng would be so wary and alert towards her...

Until the first night before going to Anguo Temple to pray, Gu Qing made the excuse that she was tired that night and wanted Cuihe to help her prepare some flower and herbal water for soaking her feet and washing her face.

This was the right opportunity to open the brocade bag.

There were two things in the brocade bag, a letter left for her by Chen Zhizhou, and a packet of powdery substance.

Whatever Chen Zhizhou needs is in this villa...

Gu Qingzheng was planning to take the brocade bag to the candlelight and burn it, as well as the letter that Chen Zhizhou gave her, in order to avoid any handle left behind, which would cause endless troubles for them in the future!

At night, the cicadas and birds chirped outside the window...

Gu Qing tossed and turned in bed all night, unable to fall asleep. She was thinking quietly in her mind, recalling the contents of the letter that Chen Zhizhou handed to her.

Tomorrow will be a catastrophe.

Perhaps the gods and ghosts in heaven and earth also know that the capital will be in trouble tomorrow. There have been continuous natural disasters and heavy rains in recent days.
