Yu Qizhe took a sip of wine. The strong wine tasted a little bitter when it went down his throat. Yu Jiao's life experience was like a mystery, and the information Lu Jin had found out made the mystery even more confusing.
Lu Jin lowered his voice and continued, "After I came back, I secretly checked. After the emperor ascended the throne, Cheng Ying was indeed away from the palace for a period of time. It was said that he was seriously ill and went out to find a good doctor to recuperate. The emperor was lenient with him. In recent years, he would leave the palace for a period of time every time the Jingzhe Festival came to recuperate."
Lu Jin nudged Yu Qizhe, who looked confused, with his elbow and looked at the deep dusk in the distance. "Junior brother, do you think Miss Yu is the daughter of Elder Liu?"
Yu Qizhe's knuckles turned white from the force he used while pinching the wine jar. He threw the wine jar to Lu Jin and said, "Check two more things..."
Yu Qizhe told Lu Jin what he heard on the lake today. Lu Jin frowned slightly, "Why are you investigating the Crown Prince? Even if you want to find out what kind of deal he has with Zhai Huaiying from Huai'an, what else do you want to do with it?"
Yu Qizhe didn't want to tell him what Zhu Yu had done to Yu Jiao in Duan Ben Palace, so he just said lightly, "Another thing is to help me find out what shameful things Yang Xu of the Dali Temple has been involved in over the years."
"Yang Xu, the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple?" Although the Jinyiwei had been suppressed by the Dongchang in recent years, they were not just for show. It was still easy to investigate such things. However, Lu Jin was puzzled. "Why do you want to investigate him? Did the emperor order you to do it?"
Yu Qizhe has stood up and said, "You don't have to ask, just go and check." After saying that, he had already gone down from the roof.
Lu Jin held the jar of wine and felt that since Yu Qizhe entered the Hanlin Academy, his thoughts have become more and more hidden.

Yu Jiao put her hand on Cui Mubai's pulse. Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Liu Yaozhen felt a little uneasy. She forced a smile and said, "I watch your brother-in-law take the medicine you prescribed every day. Isn't he getting better?"
Cui Mubai also raised his eyes to look at Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao took her hand back and said calmly, "It's nothing serious. It's just that my brother-in-law took too many tonics and has some heat in his heart. I'll prescribe a prescription to reduce heat in his heart. He should be fine after taking it for two days."
Liu Yaozhen's smile relaxed a little, and she said to Cui Mubai, "You have been too busy with official duties recently. You should rest more at home and take good care of yourself."
Cui Mubai smiled gently, "Then I will claim to be sick and stay at home for a few days tomorrow to accompany you."
Liu Yaozhen blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed in front of Yu Jiao, "How could I ask you to stay home with me? What would happen if this got out? I can't bear the stigma of putting personal interests above public ones."
Cui Mubai chuckled, his eyes doting and tender, "I am just lazy, it has nothing to do with my wife."
Yu Jiao was taking pulses at the side, listening to the conversation between the two, feeling a little depressed.
"I'm going to go meet my cousin Li Chu, so I won't disturb Madam and my third sister from chatting." Cui Mubai stood up, spoke politely, and left Yingyue Pavilion.
Liu Yaozhen waited until the others disappeared at the gate before she quietly asked Yu Jiao, "Third sister, is there anything wrong with your brother-in-law's health?"
Yu Jiao met her worried eyes and was speechless for a moment. She shook her head and said slowly, "Nothing."
Liu Yaozhen looked at her and asked softly, "You didn't look very well just now. Are you worried about something, Third Sister?"
Cui Mubai was indeed taking Wu Shi San. Yu Jiao had already confirmed this fact, but she really couldn't say it to Liu Yaozhen. Yu Jiao still planned to reveal this to her father first as Yu Qizhe said yesterday.
She shook her head at Liu Yaozhen and made up an excuse, "I didn't eat well this morning, and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable."
Liu Yaozhen asked with concern, "Is it because the servants in the kitchen are not doing their job carefully? I will go talk to mother and ask her to change the cooks."
"It's none of their fault. Maybe I opened the window to keep cool last night and let some cold air into my stomach. I'll be fine after taking some medicine." Yu Jiao explained.
Liu Yaozhen urged her, "Then hurry up and prescribe a prescription for yourself. It's my fault that I dragged your brother-in-law here to disturb you early in the morning. Although the weather has been warm in recent days, it is still a bit cold at night. Your brother-in-law always likes to stay cool at night and doesn't want to cover himself with a quilt. He always wants to open the window. I have told him many times but he forgets it as soon as he turns his head."
