The man was about twenty-four, with gentle features, a noble demeanor, and a scholarly air. Compared to those old doctors who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak, his temperament was far superior.
"Doctor Lu?" "I am here."
"How long have you been working at the Imperial Hospital? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Although Wei Shuyi had been in the palace for a long time, he rarely had contact with the Imperial Medical Bureau, let alone memorized the staff there.
She was just being cautious, afraid that someone would come to harm her again, so she was just testing him.
Lu Xingzhou smiled faintly but said nothing. Instead, he took out a few pieces of gauze from the wooden box he carried with him. He also poured out ground herbs from porcelain bottles of different shapes, cleaned her wound, and carefully tied it up.
Jing An heard her gasp and asked with concern, "My lady, does it hurt?"
"It's okay, I just feel that Doctor Lu's medicine is a little subtle."
The man stopped what he was doing and looked up at her: "What do you mean, young lady?"
"I know exactly how they would treat the wound. Imperial Physician Lu's technique and the herbs he prepared gave me a completely different feeling. Rather than saying he's a new imperial physician in the palace, it's more like..."
"Remember to give the medicine in these two porcelain bottles to Miss Min regularly." Lu Xingzhou interrupted her and began to instruct the two maids, "Use them once every morning and evening. In a month at the latest, the wound will heal without leaving any scars."
Having said this, he left again carrying the small wooden box.
Jingning followed him out, while Jingan was busy tidying up the inner hall.
Wei Shuyi gently rubbed the gauze on her forearm, and pulled out a piece of paper from the gap. There was familiar handwriting on it!
【He Changzai is very suspicious.】
[The record of medication collection is incomplete. The remaining medicine was collected by Yanxiu Pavilion at Yinshi.]
Is he secretly reminding me?!
She clenched the paper tightly, and a little hope was rekindled.
The booklet handed over by the Imperial Hospital deliberately concealed something, no wonder she couldn't find the flaw!
Thinking of this, the pain in her forearm had faded from her mind, and her expectations for Chaoyang were even greater than usual.
"My lady, I have done my best to tidy up. Please rest for now. I will go to tidy up the front hall tomorrow and try to restore everything."
After hearing Jing'an's report, Wei Shuyi said a few words of comfort and then lay down on the couch. There was still a lot waiting for her to do, and a proper rest might help her sort out her thoughts.
She couldn't lose this battle!
Wei Shuyi came to Yanxiu Pavilion, but no one came no matter how long he waited.
Just as she sat down dejectedly, the scratches on the edge of the stone bench caught her attention.
Is this the game Daddy once played with her?!
Different line directions represent different meanings, and the number of steps is also marked at the end, which contains a lot of mystery.
After being stunned, Wei Shuyi tried to walk towards the stone bricks on the shore, taking seven steps forward, two steps to the left, one step back, and three steps to the right.
The embroidered shoes clearly felt the looseness of the bricks!
She looked around, squatted down, moved the object away, and easily took away a stack of papers.
"Who is here?!"
Suddenly, a palace maid passed by.
Wei Shuyi put them into his sleeves and explained calmly, "I am a concubine of the Lin'an Palace. I am investigating the matter under the order of the Emperor, and Yanxiu Pavilion is one of the links."
"Hmm, it turns out to be Miss Min. Since it is His Majesty's order, please do as you please."
She pretended to look for it for a while before returning to Sang Yuxuan.
After closing the door, Wei Shuyi went straight to the desk and once again searched for the information that was deliberately concealed by the Imperial Hospital.
"Lin'an Palace and the Grand Palace Maid Qiulian, on the tenth day of the second month, shall take three sets of black grass."
"Lin'an Palace He Chang, the Grand Palace Maid Qiu Lian, on February 13th, took five sets of black grass."
"Lin'an Palace Hechang Grand Maid Qiulian, on February 17th, collected eight pairs of Mantuo flowers."
It's her!
In less than half a month, he sent someone to fetch a large amount of herbs! Apart from that, there were no other suspicious people!
Wei Shuyi then realized that she had missed a link: on the day of the Qushui Liushang party, she personally handed the cup to He Changzai beside her, who was also one of the contacts!
If He Changzai did it on purpose, hiding the poison between his fingers and drinking the tea, it could also lead to everything that followed!
However, is there anyone really willing to take the risk and exchange the rare royal heir for her life?
"Where did you go this morning, young lady?" Jing An brought breakfast. "I went into the room to clean earlier, and when I saw that you were not there, I thought..."
"I suddenly wanted to go to Yanxiu Pavilion and take a look. Maybe I could find some clues there." Wei Shuyi changed the subject. "By the way, do you remember Qiulian who was always by my side?"
"She's a maid born to He Changzai and has always been with her. She's usually quiet, but has a fierce temper. She's scared me and Jingning several times. It's strange, how could someone as cheerful and gentle as He Changzai have such a maid?"
"Then... after He Changzai became pregnant, did anything unusual happen? For example, she cherished the baby very much and avoided any actions that might harm the child."
Jing An tilted his head and thought for a moment: "I didn't notice it, but I always felt that He Changzai's behavior was no different from before. Before she became familiar with the young lady, she always went to pay her respects to Empress Wanyi, rain or shine."
Wei Shuyi nodded slightly and decided to go there in person.
She ordered Jing'an to prepare the pastries that she and Changzai liked to eat, and then followed the path to his residence.
Heshun Hall is the plaque given by Xie Yanci.
It seems that in the emperor's mind, this person only left the impression of being gentle and obedient.
"My young mistress is recuperating, please do not disturb her." A cold-faced maid stood guard outside the door. "I can accept your gift, but there's no need to meet in person."
Wei Shuyi was familiar with her. If he guessed correctly, she was Qiulian, the capable palace maid.
"I've been busy all night and finally found some useful information. It's true that I came to visit my sister and bring her some of her favorite cakes, but it's even more true that I wanted to share a confidential clue with her so she can find the real culprit as soon as possible! Miss Qiulian, please do me a favor and let me in to talk to my sister."
When Qiulian heard that it was related to miscarriage, she obviously hesitated.
She glanced at the food box Jing An was holding and stretched out her right hand: "Then give the things to this servant first. I will think of a way to talk to the young lady."
"Okay, Sister Qiulian, take it."
The door of Heshun Hall was closed again, and Wei Shuyi was bored and admired the flowers and plants outside.
He Changzai was passionate about gardening and always loved to take care of these things. He specially cleaned up the small courtyard and decorated it with various floral decorations, which shows how much effort he put into it.
"The people in the Imperial Household Department are really something! Concubine He is feeling very unhappy right now, and the Emperor really loves her. How dare they send such a deceptive thing? Aren't they afraid of being punished for seeing it?"
Wei Shuyi turned sideways and looked at a flowerpot not far away. The green plums planted in it had completely died. It was really outrageous!
She walked forward and was attracted by the sour-smelling soil. She smelled it carefully and found that there was no such strange smell in the other flower pots.
Just as she was about to get some dirt and send someone to investigate secretly, Qiulian's furious voice rang in her ears: "What are you touching?!"
