Three days later.

A lot of big things happened in Shengjing these days. First, the empress dowager was poisoned and murdered by the concubine of the general's mansion. The emperor was furious and interrogated and searched the general's mansion.

In addition, General Sheng Jiangqi was temporarily placed under house arrest and suspended from duty for investigation.

Later, the general's wife, the biological mother of the current empress dowager, and her brother were both murdered by the concubine who used the same poison called Crane's Beak Potion.

Life is in danger.

Sheng Wu's maternal grandfather's family quickly severed ties with the general's mansion and brought Sheng Wu's mother and younger brother back to the mansion to take care of them.

Moreover, a day ago, the general's mansion was reported by an official for having dug a passage leading to other officials' mansions under the mansion, and used a singing girl to tip off the general.

As a result, the General's Mansion was pushed to the forefront of Shengjing and even the imperial court.

Everyone in Shengjing smelled an unusual conspiracy. Everyone was in danger and dared not say anything.

Even when it was reported earlier that the Empress Dowager's mourning hall had caught fire and the Emperor had rushed in to rescue her regardless of his own safety, the people were surprised and suspicious, thinking that there was some secret.

But now I dare not say it openly.

Of course, the emperor is far away, and for some people who don’t care about national affairs, they still live as usual and are not affected at all.

For example.

In a mountain village about 30 kilometers east of Shengjing.

The "young man" in a plain white robe is treating the villagers waiting in line.

"Old man, you have blood stasis and are overly worried. Although medicine is helpful, you still need to calm down. I will prescribe some medicine for you for now. You can go back and try it first, but don't take too much of it."

The "young man" had an androgynous voice, red lips and white teeth, and brilliant eyebrows. His watery eyes were even brighter than the stars, and he was very gentle. The scorching sun fell on the young man's face, like the first snow on the snowy mountain melting, revealing a snow lotus, extremely pure and elegant.

This made many young girls nearby who came to peek at the boy under the pretext of seeing a doctor very excited and looked at him with fiery eyes.

It’s a pity that in front of the young man, no matter whether it was a white-haired old man, a young and strong man, or a child, some were dressed in simple and ragged clothes, or even beggars who were half-naked.

In the eyes of teenagers, they are all treated the same.

So much so that after the young man finished his free medical consultation today, the girls didn't hear a single word from him other than the diagnosis.

"Dear fellow villagers, my free clinic has ended today. I will come again tomorrow."

At dusk.

The boy packed up his medicine box and returned all the tables, chairs and benches he had borrowed from the villagers nearby.

"Doctor Shen, why haven't I seen the little servant who used to be by your side these past two days? If you've been busy lately, you could have taken a few days off. You don't have to come every day to provide free medical treatment to us poor people. We should be very grateful for your care these days."

Suddenly, an observant old man asked.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around turned their heads and looked in the direction of the young man with concern.

The young man who was packing the medicine box paused, his gentle eyes slightly fixed.

Bizhu has been missing for two days since she went to the back mountain to collect herbs. She has not returned yet, and she has also searched several surrounding mountains but has not seen anyone.

Considering the people she had come into contact with since coming to this world, she roughly guessed that she was related to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

So tonight, she planned to go back to the Prime Minister Sheng's Mansion to take a look.

Obviously, this young man is the heroine of the story who is disguised as a man, Shen Yan's widow.

"She had some family matters, so she went back first. But coincidentally, I also have some things to deal with at home, so the free clinic for the next four days or so will be suspended."

However, Widow Shen Yan still smiled gently and talked with the villagers who were dressed simply.

Then he carried the medicine box and went back to the thatched house halfway up the mountain that he and Bizhu had cleaned earlier.

The sun has set, and the afterglow of the sun falls on the top of the mountain, and the evening glow is beautiful.

However, Widow Chen Yan had no intention of enjoying the scenery, because.

The surrounding wild mountains and hills are all covered with dense trees, and in the distance there are clusters of wild and gorgeous crabapple flowers blooming.

The tip of Chen Yanshuang's nose twitched suddenly, and her gentle eyes suddenly became solemn and alert.

She deliberately slowed down her pace. The smell of blood at the tip of her nose was subtle, but very sensitive to her.

Could it be that someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion discovered him?

Shen Yanshuang lightened her breathing and footsteps, subconsciously tightened the strap of the medicine box in her hand, and then walked slowly.

Even if there is an ambush, she must seize the initiative.

Just when Shen Yanshuang, who was not good at fighting but knew some poison techniques, thought that someone was trying to assassinate her and was ready to fight to the death.

She suddenly noticed with her sharp eyes that there was a white figure lying in the crabapple bush, and the blood color on the body was extremely glaring.

In an instant, she understood the strong smell of blood.

It's from that man.

Shen Yanshuang's expression changed slightly. After hesitating for a while, she tightened her grip, but still decided to go forward and take a look.

She is a doctor. She will save people if she can, but she won't save everyone.

When she reached the unconscious person lying on the ground, her usually calm eyes revealed a rare look of surprise.

There was a man on the ground, with narrow eyebrows and eyes, as bright as peach blossoms, red lips, pale face but very handsome, and a heroic look between his eyebrows.

He has a Adam's apple on his neck and is tall.

However, the man’s white brocade clothes were covered in horrifying bloody stains, his face was also stained with blood, and the surrounding crabapple flowers were almost dyed red by the bright red blood.
