"Mr. Zhao, I have something to say. It may be a bit presumptuous, but I wonder if you can accept it."

Zhao Qi probably understood what she wanted to say, and said calmly, "Madam, you saved my life and are my benefactor. Feel free to say whatever you want."

After this brief contact, he could see that Gu Qing and Chen Zhizhou both had clear minds and kind hearts.

He is willing to get along with such people.

"Since you say so, I won't have any more worries."

Gu Qing did not hide anything and said what was on his mind.

"Based on what Mr. Huang just said, I'm sure you have some rough ideas about how you were poisoned. I won't elaborate, but there's one thing that I'm curious about."

"With the status of the Duke's Mansion, we can invite not only ordinary doctors but even the imperial physicians from the palace. But why haven't all the doctors figured out your true problem?"

"I'm just a novice, I've only read a few medical books. Even I can see things, but those people can't see them. Don't you think it's strange?"

After she reminded him, Zhao Qi suddenly realized and his eyes darkened.

"Madam is right!"

He pursed his lips tightly, and the look in his eyes was dark and unclear. His previous gentle face was completely different, and he looked much colder and sterner.

"So, it's very likely that they saw the crux of the problem but were afraid to speak out."

Maybe someone tempted him with profit, or maybe someone caught him!

Who is the person behind this who dares to play tricks in the solemn and austere Duke's Mansion?

Zhao Qi stared intently, his mind full of thoughts. His mind was like a kaleidoscope, going through everything from his childhood to the present day. He couldn't help but doubt any fragment that seemed wrong.

But all of this is speculation without any evidence.

He sighed deeply, his expression somewhat haggard and helpless. He glanced at Gu Qing again, and a light finally appeared in his eyes.

"Does the lady have any ideas?"

If she had no idea, she would never say that.

Gu Qing nodded, fixed his gaze on Zhao Qi and Old Huang, and said slowly, "We can just sit back and wait for the outcome of this matter."

"In my opinion, today is the best time. We will pretend to be Mr. Huang's medicine boy and follow him into the Duke's Mansion to treat your mother."

"The most important thing is that seeing a doctor must not be done quietly, but with great fanfare."

Gu Qing raised a faint smile at the corner of his lips, which was meaningful.

Zhao Qi instantly understood what she meant and nodded in agreement, "This way, we can catch the person behind the scenes off guard. She doesn't want us mother and son to know the truth, otherwise she will definitely lose her composure."

"Not only that, if the person behind the scenes wants to block the truth, he will definitely try every possible way to contact Mr. Huang, no matter if it is coercion or inducement. In short, once he makes a move, he will definitely reveal his flaws."

Gu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to feel a sense of anticipation in his heart.

I would like to see who is so bold that he can hide and lie dormant for so many years.

She vaguely felt that the truth of this matter must be hiding an old story.

Zhao Qi nodded heavily and agreed immediately without any hesitation.

"I will send someone back to inform you."

He was also eager to know who it was. He had lived for half of his life, but he had no idea that there was someone around him who was ready to murder him.

Whenever he thought of this, he felt a chill all over his body.

"good."

Gu Qing nodded, tugged at Chen Zhizhou's sleeve, and said to the remaining two, "Then let's disguise ourselves first, change our clothes, and when we're ready, we'll head straight to Duke Zhao's mansion."

Chen Zhizhou received her secret signal, his eyes flickered slightly, he pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Only after entering the house did he move closer to Gu Qing and ask in a low voice, "What did you want to say to me just now?"

Chen Zhizhou leaned very close, almost wanting to stick to her. His hot breath brushed against her face as he spoke, making it very ambiguous.

Gu Qing swallowed, feeling his strong chest and abdominal muscles, and was a little distracted.

She kept adjusting her breathing, forcing herself to regain her sanity.

"I hadn't said anything just now. I think the person behind this must be someone who can always keep track of the every move of Lady Zhao and Zhao Qi, or someone closest to them, or someone who has planted someone around them."

"Are you suspicious of the servants around Zhao Qi?"

Chen Zhizhou is very smart.

"Um."

Gu Qing bit her lip and looked at him seriously. "Just now, I didn't think it through. Now that I think about it, the person behind this matter is very likely not a simple person. If we intervene, will it affect you?"

Seeing that she cared about him, Chen Zhizhou's originally frowned brows suddenly relaxed, his heart warmed, and he raised his hand to rub her fair face.

"Won't!"

He said it with absolute certainty.

Not only will it have no impact, but if it can be really investigated, it will be of great help.

"Well, that's good!"

Only after getting his definite answer did Gu Qing's heart relax.

"Well, let's change clothes quickly!"

Mr. Huang specially found two of his old clothes for them, so if they lowered their heads, no one would notice.

Chen Zhizhou caught a glimpse of the blush on her face, and the smile on his lips grew more and more intense. He raised his hand, hooked her belt, and with a light pull, pulled her into his arms.

He lowered his head, his tone ambiguous and playful: "Madam, why is your face red? Are you thinking about the child again..."

"Shh!"

Gu Qing covered his mouth in panic and glared at him in embarrassment.

Chen Zhizhou felt the softness and warmth of her palm, and even a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes. He held her hand with his backhand.

"We've been honest with each other for so long, why is Madam still so shy?"

Listening to his lustful words, Gu Qing felt ashamed and embarrassed. She wanted to cover his mouth. Facing his mischievous gaze, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Hurry, hurry up! Mr. Huang and Zhao Qi are still waiting outside!"

She pushed Chen Zhizhou softly.

Seeing her flustered and helpless look, Chen Zhizhou sneered and did not continue to push her.

…

Half an incense stick later, they both put on their clothes.

Even though it was just coarse linen rags, it still couldn't hide their stunning faces when put on them.

"You two are too conspicuous!"

Old Huang frowned and thought for a long time. Then he found a herb from the medicine garden, crushed it, and applied the juice on the two men's faces.

Looking at the two men's yellow faces, Mr. Huang nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right!"

At the same time, he also reminded them to keep their heads down after entering the Duke of Zhao's mansion to avoid attracting attention and suspicion.

"I know, I know!"

Gu Qing and Chen Zhizhou nodded in unison.

The four of them took a carriage and went straight to the Duke of Zhao's mansion. The servants who ran back spread the news widely, and now the whole Duke's mansion knew that the eldest son had invited a miracle doctor.
