"Yuying, don't be afraid, Dad is here!"
Just now, while lying on the sickbed, Hu Yuying heard a voice that sounded like her father's.
Only when someone came in did she get up from the bed in disbelief.
"Mrs. Hu, please be careful..."
Bai Zhi had just finished applying medicine on her when she saw her fall to the ground and was about to go forward to help her up.
Hu Yuying struggled to get up from the ground.
When she saw that the person in front of her was Hu Tu, tears came down.
"father!"
"Hey! My daughter! It's Daddy who's wronged you! It's Daddy who's hurt you!"
"Dad, I don't blame you. It's all my fault! I'm blind and was..."
Hu Yuying looked at Hu Laosan outside the door and shuddered subconsciously.
Jiang Li moved sideways to block Hu Lao San's gaze and said, "Yuying, do you know why your father, who could kill a pig weighing several hundred kilograms in a few strokes back then, suddenly became seriously ill and paralyzed in bed?"
Hu Yuying shook her head.
He stammered, "The doctor... the doctor said it was an emergency, so..."
Jiang Li glanced at Mo Xiaoxiao and said, "You say."
Mo Xiaoxiao bowed and said, "I just went to the Hu family on the orders of the princess, and happened to hear the two servants guarding Mr. Hu's door say, 'The son-in-law said that the family has no money left, and asked us to gradually increase the dosage of the medicine.'
"I have been with the princess for so long that I can tell whether she is seriously ill or drugged. When I sneaked in to investigate, I found that Mr. Hu was indeed poisoned."
"It's just that it's a chronic poison, so the symptoms are very similar to the disease."
Hu Yuying looked at her father in surprise, opening her mouth again and again, but no words came out.
"My dear, both my father and I were deceived by that beast!"
As soon as Hu Tu finished speaking, Hu Lao San was about to rush in, but several yamen runners captured him and he couldn't move at all.
"Yuying, if you don't tell me the truth now, there's nothing I can do even if I want to help you."
"princess!"
Hu Yuying fell to her knees and said, "I'll tell you... I'll tell you!"
"The one who beat me wasn't that young master, it was... it was Hu Lao San. I found out he had a mistress and wanted to divorce him, but he refused and even tried to beat me to death."
"I... I'm scared. Every time he beats me, he threatens me. He just said that if I don't frame this on that young master, he will... he will kill my father."
It was not until here that everyone knew the truth of it all.
"Bang!"
A rotten egg hit Hu Laosan directly in the face.
The person who was speaking for Hu Laosan just now was now cursing.
If those officers had not brought the man back to the county government office, Hu Laosan would have been beaten to death on the spot.
Since the matter involved the Hu family, Mr. Hu Tu and Hu Yuying also went to the county government office. The onlookers also wanted to see how the prefect would make the verdict, so they followed them.
For a while, Youshan Hall was empty.
"Luckily today, Princess, you reacted quickly and sent your men to the Hu family."
Doctor Chang sighed.
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Come to think of it, it was Hu Yuying who asked me for help..."
At that time, she came in to ask questions. Hu Yuying turned her back to the door and mouthed to Jiang Li: Save me.
Everyone said she was timid by nature. According to her father, the Hu family had used up all their courage in eight lifetimes. When it came to her, they didn't even dare to raise their voices when speaking.
But this time, Hu Yuying chose to be brave and risk it all. Unexpectedly, she not only saved herself, but also saved her father.
"princess."
Bai Mo pulled Qi Rui's sleeve and walked in front of Jiang Li.
The man's awkward expression betrayed his confusion.
"Master Qi, I'm afraid you're scared, right?"
Jiang Li smiled.
"No," Qi Rui said coldly, "I was just wrongly accused. A gentleman is upright in mind and body, and justice will prevail one day."
Bai Mo turned his head to look at Qi Rui. He thought, "Is this senior brother of mine not seriously ill?"
"Big Brother, thank you."
Bai Mo poked Qi Rui.
Qi Rui glanced at him calmly, then looked at Jiang Li and said with a bow, "In any case, I still want to thank the princess for helping me out."
"However, one thing is one thing, and Qi still cannot tell the princess about the traitor in Medicine King Valley."
"Big Brother!"
Bai Mo was a little angry.
Jiang Li raised her hand to stop him, "I heard Bai Mo talk about the rules of your Medicine King Valley."
"Don't worry, I won't use this small favor today to ask you to sell out Medicine King Valley. However, I would like to use this favor in exchange for a bet. I wonder if this would break Master Qi's rules?"
"Bet?"
Jiang Li raised an eyebrow and looked at Qi Rui. "I think Mr. Qi doesn't want to stay in the capital any longer. How about we make a bet before he leaves? If I beat you, you must agree to do something for me."
Qi Rui was about to refuse when Jiang Li took out a book called "Thirteen Techniques of Peerless Golden Needles" from his sleeve.
"If I lose, then this unique copy will be yours."
Qi Rui shut his mouth instantly.
He had been obsessed with the art of acupuncture since childhood, and there was no way he would refuse such a good thing. As for losing? He couldn't lose.
Bai Mo glanced at the confident expressions of the people around him, and had already begun to mourn in his heart.
Although he didn't know why, he had an inexplicable confidence.
Big Brother, he definitely can't defeat the princess...
The next morning.
When Gu Qingchen heard that Jiang Li was going to compete in medical skills with the eldest disciple of Yaowang Valley, he skipped his shift and followed Jiang Li to Youshan Hall after breakfast.
"Won't the emperor be angry if the prince doesn't attend court?" Jiang Li lightly scratched Gu Qingchen's palm, raised her eyebrows and smiled.
