After a few moments, Zhen Wanwan followed A Yue's instructions and scanned the strange features of the man on the ground one by one.
Without exception, it was consistent with what A-Yue said; it seems this person really is a trained fighter.
Then it's probably true that this person is an assassin!
"Go and fetch the master back! Tell him I need to speak with him!"
Zhen Wanwan felt it was better to leave this matter to Zhu Yuan, as she wasn't very good at interrogating criminals.
By this time, Ma Si had already brought the doctor back.
The doctor merely glanced at the man bound like a dumpling on the ground.
This wasn't the first time he'd seen something like this; he simply assumed it was someone who had done something wrong and was being punished by their master.
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the doctor had already finished treating the patient.
Zhen Wanwan looked at the doctor and asked in confusion, "Doctor, how is this person?"
The doctor first looked at Zhen Wanwan, then glanced at the man on the ground.
He explained softly, "He's fine. He just got caught in the rain last night and was knocked unconscious, so he has a slight fever."
"Wait for me to prescribe two doses of medicine, and you'll be fully recovered in three or four days!"
Zhen Wanwan paid the doctor and sent him back.
She thought about it and realized that leaving the person here wasn't a good idea.
“You carry him to an unused room.”
The guards immediately bowed in agreement, and the two of them together lifted the person up from both ends.
Braving the rain, they took the person to the servants' quarters not far away.
"Thump!"
A sharp thud suddenly rang out from the bluestone bricks.
Zhen Wanwan looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was something that had fallen from the man's body.
A-Yue, with her keen eye, stepped forward, picked up the item, and handed it to Zhen Wanwan.
Zhen Wanwan looked at the wooden sign in her hand. It was blank except for an abstract herbal pattern.
She weighed the token in her hand, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her, her eyes sparkling.
She grabbed A-Yue's hand and exclaimed excitedly, "A-Yue! Do you think this person might be that legendary herbalist?"
A-Yue was taken aback, pondered for a moment, and then hesitated before saying, "This servant smelled a faint herbal scent on him, so this guess is very likely!"
Zhen Wanwan was overjoyed. She had just been wondering when she would meet this herbalist!
Unexpectedly, it came so easily; I was just lying at home when my family arrived.
"Oh, right! Yue, tell Wang Fu and the others to move the people to the guest rooms, and also have the maids in the manor brew this medicine!"
As she spoke, Zhen Wanwan went to the front yard herself and asked Zhang Mama to arrange for someone to prepare a room for the herbalist.
After settling the herbalist doctor in, Zhuyuan returned.
He rode back on horseback, and although he was wearing a raincoat, he still got soaked in the rain.
Zhen Wanwan was heartbroken and hurriedly called for someone to prepare hot water and make ginger soup.
Zhu Yuan ignored his discomfort; he only relaxed when he saw that Zhen Wanwan was safe and sound.
Before he could even ask what was going on, Zhen Wanwan personally urged him to go inside and wash up.
Helpless, Zhu Yuan went to change his clothes first.
Zhen Wanwan sat on the couch, carefully examining the token in her hand.
If she were to imitate such an ordinary brand, she could easily mass-produce hundreds of copies.
Thinking of this, Zhen Wanwan's heart tightened, and she suddenly wondered if that person might be an imposter.
"Oh no! What if this is a fake?"
"What are you saying, Madam?"
Zhu Yuan arrived, carrying a faint, pleasant scent of shower gel.
Zhen Wanwan's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but kiss him.
Zhu Yuan's eyes darkened, he swallowed hard, and murmured in a deep voice, "My wife has thrown herself into my arms, so please don't blame me for being rash!"
As he spoke, Zhu Yuan swept her up in his arms, and Zhen Wanwan hurriedly begged for forgiveness: "Husband, I was wrong! I won't tease you anymore!"
"Put me down right now, I have something important to tell you!"
Zhen Wanwan genuinely believed that Zhu Yuan would take advantage of her, which is why she dared not flirt with anyone recklessly.
Zhu Yuan was always very patient with Zhen Wanwan and didn't force her to do anything.
He gently set her down, sat beside her, and asked softly, "Have you suffered any injustice?"
Zhen Wanwan was amused by him. He was a good person in every way, but he always felt that she was weak and helpless.
It seems that in her husband's eyes, he was a pushover whom everyone could bully.
But Zhen Wanwan inexplicably enjoyed this feeling of being cared for.
She gently rubbed Zhu Yuan's cheek with a smile. Seeing his pained expression as he tried his best to endure it greatly pleased Zhen Wanwan.
"Oh, right! My husband, there's something I wanted to tell you when I asked you to come back!"
"Look!"
Zhen Wanwan showed the wooden token to Zhuyuan.
Zhu Yuan stared at the token in his hand, then paused, asking, "Where did you get this token, Madam?"
Zhen Wanwan began by recounting how Wang Fu discovered the dead body, while also emphasizing how clever she was, able to discern the man's identity solely from the token.
Zhu Yuan smiled indulgently, and had to admit that his wife had excellent taste.
This token right now belongs to the Divine Physician of Herbs!
No wonder he couldn't find the person after searching everywhere; it turned out the person had already run right under his nose.
He was even picked up by his own wife.
Zhu Yuan's eyes darkened; this saved him a lot of time.
"I've arranged for this herbalist to stay in the guest room. Would you like to go and take a look?"
Zhen Wanwan suggested, as she could tell that Zhu Yuan still cared quite a bit about this herbalist.
To everyone's surprise, Zhu Yuan shook his head without hesitation and politely declined, saying, "Since he is already unconscious, let him go!"
Zhen Wanwan waved her hand, not insisting.
Suddenly she realized something and unconsciously gripped Zhu Yuan's hands tightly, saying, "Husband! I suspect they came for Zhou'er!"
Zhu Yuan raised an eyebrow, surprised, and asked, "Why would Madam think that way?"
Zhen Wanwan explained to Zhu Yuan the whole process of how Wang Fu discovered the person, as well as all the details of her speculation.
Zhu Yuan nodded in agreement, praising, "What you say is very true, Madam!"
It's good that his wife is aware of this, but this matter is complicated and not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Look at this!
As he spoke, Zhu Yuan took out an envelope and handed it directly to Zhen Wanwan.
When Zhen Wanwan noticed that the envelope was unsigned, she knew that it was sent by Zhu Yuan's informant.
She read it quickly, finishing it in just a few breaths.
Zhen Wanwan frowned: "The Hua family has already sided with the Third Prince?"
This was the worst news they could get.
After all, the Hua family controls the country's medical system, and the Third Prince has the help of the Hua family and the support of General Xiao.
This throne will likely be very secure for him.
She didn't care about imperial power or status, but her husband did!
Zhen Wanwan's gaze involuntarily fell on Zhu Yuan, her eyes filled with worry, fearing that he would become discouraged and give up.
Zhu Yuan chuckled and gently flicked her forehead: "What kind of person does my wife take me for?"
Zhen Wanwan thought he was just putting on a brave face, so she quickly patted her chest and assured him, "Husband, don't be afraid! Even if the whole world is against you, I will stand by your side!"
