Yin Xizi paused and continued, "Grandpa had no choice but to change the prescription. The child took the medicine for another three days, but the symptoms became even worse."
"Prince Jing no longer trusted Grandpa's medical skills, so he invited famous doctors from Qingzhou to treat the child. But when the doctors heard that Hua Tuo and Yin Heng had treated the child before and had failed, they all shook their heads and said they dared not prescribe any medicine."
"Prince Jing was furious and sent someone to the capital to fetch a famous doctor."
"But before we could get a famous doctor, the child died."
When Xia Miaoyuan heard this, he clenched his fists and pounded the bed.
Prince Jing's eldest son was actually quite innocent. He died in a family feud at just one year old. His death also implicated many innocent people.
House fight?
The queen's eyes turned. Was the murderer who killed the child Prince Jing's concubine?
"The day after the news of Prince Jing's eldest son's death came out, something happened to my grandfather..." When Yin Xizi said this, her nose turned red and tears fell.
"He returned home from a medical consultation in the middle of the night. He had just gotten out of his sedan chair, and before he could even knock on the door, a group of men in black suddenly rushed out and beat him up without giving him any explanation."
"The sedan bearers were so scared that they ran away in all directions. My grandfather was beaten to death on the spot and the medicine boy was knocked unconscious." Yin Xizi said in tears.
When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but shed tears.
"Because the medicine boy recalled that those men in black were tall and mighty, neatly dressed, and looked like guards in the mansion. My father and uncle both believed that the men in black must have been the work of Prince Jing."
"It's obvious. It must have been Prince Jing who did it. Yin Heng was harmed right after his son died." Xia Miaoyuan muttered to herself.
"My father and uncle filed a complaint with the county government, but the magistrate said they had no evidence and would not accept the complaint."
"They were unwilling to accept this and went to the Qingzhou government office to complain about their grievances, but the Qingzhou prefect refused to accept the complaint."
"Half a month later, my father and mother died in the fire...Wuwuwu..." Yin Xizi burst into tears.
The queen took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her tears.
Yin Xizi paused and continued, "That day, my uncle and I went up the mountain to collect herbs. I accidentally fell and injured my leg, so we came back very late."
“When we got near the house, we saw it was on fire.”
"My uncle and I went in and saw that my father and mother had been hacked to death in the yard. At that time, there were several people searching for my uncle and me in the mansion."
"We fled overnight. That's how we managed to survive."
"Later, we heard that the government classified the fire as bandits robbing the people."
[They are indeed bandits, but these bandits were hired by Prince Jing.]
What?! Prince Jing actually hired bandits to kill people in order to seek revenge!
When the queen heard this, her eyes widened in shock.
"What happened next?" the queen quickly calmed down and asked.
"My uncle and I fled to another place under different names. My uncle passed away ten years ago, and I have been living in seclusion on Lingyun Peak alone."
"Over the years, I have become calm and don't want to come out and face those ruthless and powerful people."
After Yin Xizi finished saying this, he looked at the queen meaningfully, as if asking her what she planned to do.
The Queen said solemnly, "Doctor Yin, don't worry. When I return, I will report this to the Emperor. His Majesty will investigate the truth. If your Yin family was indeed harmed by Prince Jing, justice will be served."
Yin Xizi said loudly, "Okay, then I will wait for news at Lingyun Peak. If the emperor can truly uphold justice for our Yin family, then I will come out of the mountains. I will be willing to serve the emperor and the queen."
"Otherwise, even if the emperor comes in person and forces me to come down the mountain with an imperial decree, I would rather die than agree."
The next morning, the Queen and her entourage said goodbye to Yin Xizi and returned to the capital.
Xia Zhengqi was very anxious because he hadn't seen his precious daughter and the queen for more than ten days.
That day, he finally heard Debao come to report that the queen had returned. He was in a very good mood and immediately ran to the palace gate to greet the queen.
"Your Majesty, why did you come to greet me in person?" When the Queen saw Xia Zhengqi coming to greet her in person, she couldn't help but smile with joy, and even her eyes curved with a smile, but she had to say this.
"Ruoyu, you are finally back. I have been worried about you day and night these days." Xia Zhengqi said, picking up Xia Miaoyuan and kissing her again and again.
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Han Qingbo standing solemnly beside him with his head bowed.
"Who is this? Why did you bring back a young man?"
[Hahaha, mother is really awesome this time! She even brought back the future strategist Han Qingbo!]
Xia Miaoyuan muttered to himself.
Huh? Future counselor!
When Xia Zhengqi heard these words, he stared at Han Qingbo for a few seconds.
The Queen introduced him, "I met him by chance on the road, and by chance I brought him back to the capital."
In the Qianqing Palace, the Queen vividly told Xia Zhengqi the story of her chance encounter with Han Qingbo.
Xia Zhengqi couldn't help but applaud the queen: "Ruoyu is truly a heroine!"
"If you hadn't intervened, this young man would have been ruined."
[Not only will it be destroyed, it will also join Liang Chaozong's army and become a heavy weapon in the future attack on Daxia.]
Xia Zhengqi felt even more relieved when he heard his daughter's heartfelt words. He immediately realized that he could not neglect Han Qingbo and must train him well so that he could use him in the future.
"And your son, father, has also contributed a lot to Han Qingbo's matter!" The second prince blinked mischievously.
"Okay, Chengnian is also great. Father will reward you well later." Xia Zhengqi stroked his beard and said with a smile.
