Chapter 20 Hidden



"Princess, I have done everything according to your instructions, but Qingqing doesn't understand why he didn't just point out Doctor Chen's conspiracy? He poisoned the princess and even tried to threaten her. If the emperor knew about this..."

Zongzheng Xiaoting shook his head, patted Qingqing's hand gently, and laughed softly: "Qingqing thinks that Doctor Chen is really stupid and has never thought about this problem?"

"I have thought about this too." Qingqing bit her lip, the freckles on her cheeks faintly visible in the moonlight, her eyes filled with confusion, "That's why I am angry. You don't take the princess seriously and you dare to be so careless in front of me."

“Haha, you’re wrong Qingqing.” Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled lightly. His palm-sized face was bright and beautiful, like a fairy under the moon, peaceful and contented.

All that could be heard was a very light sigh from Zong Zheng Xiaoting's nose. He looked at the night sky and said, "It's not that Doctor Chen is arrogant and conceited, but... he knows very well that even if you come out to testify and I come out to accuse, it won't do anything. Father is not a tyrant, and he will not make a conclusion on something without evidence, even if it's my mother, the Empress."

"So, without evidence, the matter can only be left unresolved?" Qingqing seemed to understand something. As the princess' confidant, her words could only make people think that the master and servant were in cahoots with each other.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Qingqing clenched her fists tightly, "But Princess, your body! How about Qingqing find another imperial doctor to check on the princess?"

"No hurry." Zong Zheng Xiaoting shook his head. "People who have died once will not care about life or death. Moreover, the poison in my body, the reason why the person who diagnosed me at the beginning said that I lost my memory, aren't they all the same? If so, do you think this is necessary?"

"But I'm worried..." Qingqing couldn't bear it and didn't go too far.

"That's why I want you to test Imperial Physician Chen for me." Zong Zheng Xiaoting patted Qingqing's shoulder, soothing the little girl.

"Princess, speaking of this, I am even more confused."

Seeing the princess' smile, Qingqing continued, "Since Doctor Chen knew that Qingqing was the princess's confidant, how could he tell the truth to Qingqing, and how could he be caught in the trap I set?"

"That's why I want you to pay close attention to every word and every movement, down to the minute details like where his eyes are looking, the curve of his mouth, and the slightest movements of his body."

The wind blew gently, and Zongzheng Xiaoting shivered. Qingqing hurriedly held Zongzheng Xiaoting's cloak and accompanied Zongzheng Xiaoting slowly towards the bedroom.

"In the next few days, I will continue to observe Doctor Chen according to your instructions and write down everything in detail." Qingqing said, holding Zong Zheng Xiaoting's hand.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded with satisfaction and stepped into the bedroom.

In Cuiyun Palace today, the number of servants that a princess should have is much less due to Concubine Li's previous intentional actions.

Although Zong Zheng Xiaoting was now the emperor's favorite princess, she still kept the status quo under his refusal. At this moment, the only people left in Cuiyun Palace, besides Qingqing, were the loyal palace maids carefully selected by the empress to accompany Zong Zheng Xiaoting. In addition, the second princess's forbearance and restraint provided Zong Zheng Xiaoting with a lot of convenience in handling matters at this moment.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting changed his clothes and after listening to Qingqing's story about Doctor Chen's various reactions when he just met Qingqing, a smile appeared on his lips. It seemed that Doctor Chen was indeed impatient, but not a vicious person.

"Qingqing, you still need to test the matter of Doctor Chen more. I will make a decision later. By the way, have someone pass a message to the Empress and Mother, and tell them that I have had some flashes of memory today, which are related to the truth of falling into the water. I must remember it, so, I will close the door and sort out my thoughts quietly in the next few days. In the next few days, no one is allowed to approach the East Side Hall except me." Zong Zheng Xiaoting instructed.

"Yes!" Qingqing lowered her head and looked at the princess who changed her clothes and headed towards the east hall again, without saying anything more.

Staring at Zongzheng Xiaoting's back, Qingqing's face was filled with a satisfied smile. The princess now had gained confidence and complacency, which was something she had never seen before. As long as it was the princess's decision, she would definitely complete it even if it cost her life! No matter what, she would never give anyone the chance to hurt the princess again.

The tightly clenched fist is like Qingqing's thoughts.

And a few moments later...

The guards' investigation finally arrived at Cuiyun Palace.

There were urgent knocks on the door.

"It's the middle of the night, are you planning to rebel?" Qingqing slowly opened the palace gate and glared at the leading captain of the guards.

"I have been ordered to investigate the assassin gang. Please give me some convenience, young lady." The guard stopped talking and was about to break in.

"How dare you!" Qingqing raised her voice, "Do you know who lives in Cuiyun Palace?"

Qingqing put her hands on her hips, and her whole body showed that she was not to be underestimated. Before the chief guard could speak, she hurriedly scolded him, "It's not that Qingqing doesn't know the importance of the matter, but you and I each have our own masters, so naturally we are both worried about the safety of our masters. Qingqing only knows that the emperor has instructed Qingqing to take good care of the princess. I believe the chief guard also knows that the second princess almost died, and the emperor, empress, Concubine Rougui and Concubine Lixian are all worried."

Qingqing glanced at the chief guard and said righteously, "Now, the princess' memory is at a critical juncture of recovery, and the murderer who killed the princess is about to be revealed. If the princess is disturbed at this moment, Qingqing is afraid that if the princess is tired and becomes mentally ill, the person who really plotted to kill the heir will still stay in the palace and continue to plot evil. Then, wouldn't it be a loss?"

"What Miss Qingqing said makes sense, but this assassin is also a top priority!" The captain of the guards did not compromise, but his tone softened a little.

"I understand my duty. If the chief guard is worried about this, he can send people to guard Cuiyun Palace and ask the queen for instructions. In this way, I and the chief guard will just have to follow her orders, right?"

"This..." The captain of the guard frowned.

"Sir, I think this is a good idea. The Second Princess is so favored now, and the Empress and Concubine Xian's maternal families are not people you and I can afford to offend. With the master's order, we won't be troubled by anything." The deputy guard whispered beside the chief guard.

The captain of the guard thought for a long time, finally nodded, whispered a few words to the deputy guard, and then fought against Qingqing and the other two, waiting for a response.

At this moment, in the east side hall of Cuiyun Palace, Zong Zheng Xiaoting picked up the medicine and food and slowly pushed open the door of the bedroom in the side hall.

The bloodstains on the ground spread to the couch not far away. The man's face was wrapped in a nightgown. At this moment, he had closed his eyes and was regulating his breathing.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting put his things down and slowly approached, but was suddenly grabbed by the wrist.
