Chapter 155: Hidden Secrets



After all, we are talking about Lu Qianhu and Princess Jiuli. You can say whatever you want behind closed doors, but you have to be careful in front of outsiders.

Someone saw Miss Jun cough lightly, reminding everyone not to talk nonsense.

"Then I'll arrange it." said a daughter-in-law.

Madam Lin nodded.

"Go ahead, she's just a cook, don't be afraid of any taboos," she said.

The daughter-in-law went away immediately.

Miss Jun stood up and took out a handful of incense.

"Madam, just light it when you go to bed at night." She said, bowed and left, "I will come again tomorrow."

Mrs. Lin looked even more satisfied.

She had seen a lot of people as she grew older. All the gossips and ladies in the inner house were eager to get things done. They would exaggerate the slightest bit of usefulness and try to get rich.

But after this girl came, she didn't say much, and didn't even ask about the patient's condition. She just took the pulse and prescribed medicine, and left after the examination. She didn't stay for long at all just to find something to talk about.

After all, she comes from a family of doctors and is a daughter of an official family. This nobleness is in her nature.

Dealing with such people makes people feel more at ease and worry-free.

"Hello, Miss Laojun." Old Madam Lin said kindly.

"Come again tomorrow." Mrs. Lin also said with a smile. She had only met her twice, but she felt very close to the little girl.

Miss Jun said nothing more, bowed and left with Liu'er.

"Miss, you will be cured tomorrow. That's fast." Liu'er said happily behind her.

Miss Jun nodded.

"Yes. It's fast." she said.

Things really are fast in this inner house. I can hear news about my sister so soon.

When she reached the second gate, she saw carriages waiting there. In addition to the carriage she had taken when she came, there was another one, and a maid was urging a cook to get on it.

"Don't say much when you get there. Just do whatever you are told to do," the maid instructed.

The cook nodded repeatedly.

Miss Jun stopped.

Is this the place where you are going to meet your sister's cook?

She couldn't help but lift her feet as she watched the carriage pass by.

I really want to go, I really want to go with you...

"Miss Jun." The maid's voice said in my ear, "Please get in the car."

Miss Jun withdrew her gaze and lowered her head before getting into the car.

The carriage drove out of the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion and left separately from the one that had left first.

Seeing Miss Jun coming back, the two employees hurried to greet her.

"We have bought all the medicines the young lady ordered," they said respectfully.

"Miss, are you making medicine now?" Liu'er asked.

"Wash off all the medicine first. I'm going to go out for a while." Miss Jun said.

Liu'er said "oh" and happily went in carrying the medicine box. The two employees looked at each other, and Liu'er looked at Miss Jun who was already walking out.

Just let her go out alone?

But it seemed that neither the master nor the servant had any objections, so they opened their mouths and then closed them.

There were more people on the street near noon. Tea houses and wine shops were also crowded. Miss Jun walked through the busy street without stopping. She walked into an alley and left the bustling city. It seemed a little quiet here.

She walked out of the alley, took a few steps forward and then stopped. Her eyes were a little confused, as if she didn't know where to go. She also seemed a little scared because of the silence, and she clenched her hands in front of her.

She once did something that was both a good thing and a bad thing to be strict about.

In her third year with the master, she began to prepare medicine for her father's illness, and then spent another two years to develop a prescription under the master's sarcastic guidance.

"Think carefully, your father's illness cannot withstand any wrong prescription. Otherwise, why do you think so many doctors never prescribe medicine for your father over the years?" the master warned her.

She didn't understand or know it before, but now that she knows medical knowledge, she knows that it is really dangerous, so she held the prescription for a long time but didn't dare to give it to her father.

Perhaps God had mercy on her prayers and efforts. When she returned to Beijing, she unexpectedly met a man with the same disease as her father.

This was a young man. She decided to test the drug on him.

Her master would not agree to such a thing, and her father would also object if he knew about it. She did not dare tell anyone, including the young man on whom she was going to experiment with drugs.

She did this secretly, taking the young man to a place in the capital and letting him use the prescription.

He made an agreement with the young man that if he was safe and sound after half a year, he would give the prescription to his father and promise him great wealth.

But later, instead of receiving any news from the young man, he received news that his father had passed away.

She didn't find the young man again when she came back.

The young man either ran away or died. She asked her sister, and her sister said that her father did not use the prescription she asked someone to send to him.

In other words, her prescription is totally ineffective.

Although she was unwilling, she had to accept her fate, her father's short life, her mother's chastity, and then she got married and accepted the fate of being trapped in the family for the rest of her life.

Unexpectedly, two years later, when she entered the palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager on her birthday, she was secretly intercepted by a palace maid named Bing'er.

This Bing'er was someone who had served her before, and she thought that she had encountered some injustice and wanted her help.

Unexpectedly, Bing'er knelt down with a pale face.

"Princess, the prince did not die of illness." She said in a trembling voice.

Thinking of that moment, Miss Jun still feels her ears buzzing and her whole body feels as if she was struck by lightning.

She took a few deep breaths to calm herself.

Bing'er told her father that he had used her prescription and that the boy was cured and did not die at all.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince met the young man and accused Your Highness the Princess of being a fool, then gave him some money and sent him away."

"Later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince put the prescription away."

"His Royal Highness is not useless. He asked my sister and I to cook the medicine and did not tell anyone about the prescription."

"The prince said, this is your filial piety, princess, you must give it a try."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't allow us to tell anyone, fearing that everyone would worry."

But it still failed, didn’t it?

"No, no, I didn't fail." Bing'er raised her head in horror, "My sister went out some time ago and met that person, Princess, that person is still alive."

Miss Jun closed her eyes, held back her tears, and dug her fingernails into her flesh with her clasped fingers.

"Princess, if you don't believe me, go ask my sister. After my sister was released from the palace, she married and lived in the alley behind the Guan Temple. It's the third house from the east to the west."

Miss Jun took a deep breath and calmed her trembling body.

She didn't come here at that time, she couldn't come. If she came here, she would be exposed. This is evidence, evidence that King Qi killed his elder brother and caused chaos.

After she killed King Qi, this was proof.

She rushed into the palace with a knife in hand, determined to fight to the death. Otherwise, the King of Qi, who had already firmly established his rule over the world, could still cover the sky with one hand.

Only by killing the King of Qi first will we have a chance to fight.

In the end, she still failed.

But she had another chance.

Miss Jun opened her eyes and looked ahead. The drug trial with the young man was kept secret and no one knew about it. Moreover, she learned the truth suddenly, made the decision suddenly, and died suddenly. Neither Bing'er in the palace, nor her sister Bing'er outside, nor even the young man were exposed yet.

As long as they are alive and well, they remain evidence.

Now is not the time to meet, and we can’t make any arrangements. Just wait a little longer.

Miss Jun took a step forward and turned to enter the alley, but a man suddenly walked out of the alley and they almost bumped into each other.

Miss Jun cried out and fell backwards. The man reached out and grabbed her. When they saw each other clearly, they both exclaimed.

"It's you again." Zhu Zan said, and immediately let go of Miss Jun's hand.

Miss Jun, who was originally standing steadily, was nearly pushed down by him. She staggered a few steps and held on to the wall before she could stand.
