Yan Miaoling followed the maid all the way from the palace to the outside of the palace, and then to the street. She watched as the maid entered a small clinic and came out in a hurry a short while later.
She also flashed into the clinic, "Boss, what medicine did that sister just buy? I want the exact same one!"
After a while, she got the same green medicine bag and went out, planning to visit Bai Muchen's Renji Clinic. Because he was a miracle doctor, he was treated specially. The emperor had granted him special treatment, seven days a week. Three days were spent in the palace, and four days were free to do as he pleased. Calculating the days, he should have been at the clinic today.
I never thought that after just a few steps, I would bump into...someone.
The black boots and the red hem of his shirt were strangely familiar. She looked over and gave a fake smile, "Oh, it's you, Mr. Si, you're on business!" This was a natural reaction to meeting someone she knew.
Unexpectedly, it further confirmed the other party's guess.
Si Youhong looked around with his beautiful eyes, and seeing no one around, he grabbed her wrist...
"Hey, what are you doing?" Yan Miaoling struggled. What's wrong with the men here? They pull people around at every turn and have no manners at all.
Fortunately, after a few steps, the wasp waist stopped. In front of him was a slightly dark alley, so there was no need to worry about someone hearing his secret. Si Youhong looked at him with scrutiny, "What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me?" Then she realized, ah! It's over, exposed. She was now dressed as the head aunt, and she didn't know if Hu Jin knew Si Youhong. She had just greeted him, uh...
Si Youhong didn't waste time with her and was very straightforward. His large, bony hand covered the side of her face...
"don't want!"
It was too late. The thin mask had already been torn off. A young, innocent, fair face was revealed, just as he had imagined. But it didn't make Si Youhong feel at ease. Instead, he was even more confused. "What on earth is going on? I just saw you volunteering..."
"Ah? Ah!" Yan Miaoling understood. He must have just seen his clone on the street, along with the teachers and students of the Women's Convent School... doing charity work at the Salesian Home.
To lie, "Oh, it must be..."
Si Youhong, alert and quick-witted, grabbed her clothes to prevent her from escaping. His handsome eyes were filled with a keen awareness of everything, and a hint of a smile lingered on his lips. "Do you think... I've been a Jinyiwei guard for nothing these past few years?"
After saying that, he grabbed Yan Miaoling's sleeve and turned to leave. "Come with me to the Imperial Prison. Recently, spies from the enemy country have infiltrated the capital..."
This made Yan Miaoling angry. She shook him off and said, "What are you doing? So what if you found out? I've indirectly helped you a few times, and you're repaying me with evil!" She put her hands on her waist and stood up. "Why, do you suspect I'm a spy from the enemy country? Sir, is it because the Jinyiwei are the only one in power that you..."
Si Youhong lowered his head and moved closer.
The shadow fell, and she closed her eyes in fear, her eyelashes fluttering...
"Hehe..." Si Youhong chuckled, raised his head, and said helplessly, "Can you come with me first and then talk to me?"
...
The Imperial Prison was truly not a place for humans. It was damp and filled with a foul stench. Everywhere was filled with the sound of gasping breaths. Some were in pain, others were in despair. In short, no one cried out in rage. It was unlike any other yamen. This also indirectly reflected that the Jinyiwei were not to be trifled with. The prisoners they apprehended dared not utter a word, or perhaps were unable to do so.
"Is this your working environment?" Yan Miaoling asked after disguising herself.
"Work?" Si Youhong was surprised by the unfamiliar word, but then realized it probably meant duty. He said it casually, "I'm used to it!"
After walking a few more steps, Si Youhong asked a Tiqi, "Have you recruited yet?"
"Yes, sir! Just as you suspected. The drug is problematic. It's a transient drug that can cause euphoria. It's colorless and odorless, and can be transmitted through invisible media such as water, food, and air. None of this is unusual. The most interesting thing is that it takes a long time from exposure to onset, about two days. Therefore, once an incident occurs, it is difficult to track down the culprit."
Bringing her here, and having another conversation like this, Yan Miaoling probably guessed the answer. She took a few steps toward the blood gourd on the torture rack and reached out to lift the prisoner's long hair...
ah!
I felt a panic in my heart.
Oh my God, isn’t this the little palace maid?
They'd only been separated for a quarter of an hour? The little maid had already been brought here and interrogated. Looking at her bloodied state, it was unclear whether she was dead or unconscious. In any case, I was afraid she wouldn't be able to leave.
Si Youhong didn't let her guess for long and took the initiative to explain. "Her name is Caiyue. On the surface, she's a third-class maid in Wangyue Palace, but in reality, she's a spy for the Kingdom of Russia. Look, this is her signed testimony." Wangyue Palace was Concubine Dong Shu's residence.
The two walked out, talking as they walked.
Finally, Yan Miaoling asked bluntly, "Master Si, it's just you and me here. Can you tell me the truth? Is this palace maid really a spy from the Kingdom of Ross?"
Si Youhong paced around boredly, a hint of confusion on his lips. "What does it matter if it's the truth? The testimony I gave after being released from prison is up to the emperor. No one cares about the truth."
"Why?" Yan Miaoling wondered why she had suddenly set her sights on the young maid. Her eyes were so direct and gleaming with moisture that Si Youhong, a man who lived in the shadows, felt embarrassed to meet them. She lowered her eyes slightly, "You helped me kill Yin Dafu and dealt with Liu Zhangcheng, the second-in-command of the Eastern Depot. This gave me the opportunity to regain power and make my Jinyiwei a comeback. I want to... repay you."
So that's how it is.
Before Yan Miaoling could ask more, Si Youhong continued to speak frankly, "In my opinion, the Queen's Crown Prince, Concubine Mei's Seventh Prince, and Concubine Dong's Third Prince are almost a three-way competition. Everyone has the ability to compete, except for the outsider... the Sixth Prince..."
The Jinyiwei's abilities were truly not to be underestimated. He had analyzed the situation so clearly. Had he even sensed that she or they were wholeheartedly supporting the Sixth Prince?
Perhaps knowing she would have questions, Si Youhong smiled, "Little girl, you must know that there are brothers of my Jinyiwei in the Northern Territory, right? The Sixth Prince is under the name of inspecting the Heaven, but in fact, he is secretly pregnant under the moonlight..."
"Stop talking!" Yan Miaoling interrupted him! The emperor hasn't punished him yet, which means Si Youhong didn't report these findings.
Since Jinyiwei's hands are so long, does he know that he is the reincarnation of the nine-tailed fox?
Seeing her face turn pale, Si Youhong stopped trying to scare her. He changed the subject, "I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. If you indirectly helped me with the things I've said before, making my career smoother, then saving my sister is a huge favor to me. Miss Ling'er, how can I repay you?"
