Xue Zixiao frowned, vaguely feeling that something bad must be going on...
But since the emperor's favorite person had come out of the palace to verify something with him, he couldn't just refuse to answer or play dumb.
Xue Zixiao replied cautiously: "Eunuch, please feel free to speak up. As a subject of the Emperor, I will speak my mind to you without reservation..."
Facing Xue Zixiao's promise, the eunuch just smiled and said, "Although we are in the palace, the rumors outside the palace are sometimes too fierce, and the palace has also heard a little bit!"
Xue Zixiao had already guessed something, and when he heard this opening remark, his guess was confirmed.
Xue Zixiao nodded and waited for the eunuch to continue.
"They say General Xue is getting better, but he hasn't returned home yet. He must still be in the recovery period, right? Whether he has been cured or not remains to be seen..."
"Also, does Doctor Yang really have real skills? General Xue should know that Prince Chi, the Fourth Prince, and the Emperor have all been treated by Doctor Yang."
"Of course, if Doctor Yang had someone behind his back to give him advice and take credit for someone else's work, that would be indirectly deceiving the emperor!"
"General Xue, as someone involved... you should be more aware of the truth behind this."
Before the eunuch finished speaking, Xue Zixiao had already guessed what he wanted to say.
After hearing the eunuch's words, Xue Zixiao pretended to be surprised: "Is this considered deceiving the emperor?"
The eunuch looked at Xue Zixiao strangely. Although Xue Zixiao was a military general, he was not stupid. How could Xue Zixiao not understand whether this was deceiving the emperor?
"Ahem, General Xue, please answer my question. I need to report to His Majesty!"
The eunuch brought up the emperor again at this moment, which was to remind Xue Zixiao not to answer casually, because the emperor was asking for an answer.
The answer is not true. Xue Zixiao is also deceiving the king!
Xue Zixiao said innocently: "If this is the case inside and outside the palace, it's not a rare thing."
Listening to Xue Zixiao's opening remarks, the eunuch seemed to have caught something, and his expression immediately became serious:
"Why, Doctor Yang is really suspected of deceiving the emperor?"
Xue Zixiao shook his head.
The eunuch began to feel confused. If there was no suspicion of deceiving the emperor, why did Xue Zixiao think it was not surprising to spread such a rumor?
Under the eunuch's strange gaze, Xue Zixiao continued, "Eunuch, you don't know. Before Doctor Yang treated me, he said that she was only instructed by an expert, so she had the method to deal with it!"
"But you also know, sir, that I have been humiliated by all kinds of rumors, but those people are the people I protect..."
"I really have no way to beat them all up and relieve the frustration in my heart, so I am willing to take the risk and let Doctor Yang take action..."
"However, this general has also thought of the Fourth Prince and Young Prince Chi as examples. They dared to take risks, so why shouldn't I?"
The eunuch was stunned. What did this mean?
Are you saying that Yang Xinwan has made a statement?
Isn't Yang Xinwan guilty of deceiving the emperor?
But if people who don't know the truth spread the news, then it would be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor?
So it is understandable that Yang Xinwan was wrongly accused, but she is actually not guilty?
The eunuch never thought of this...
He smiled awkwardly: "Then the Fourth Prince and Young Prince Chi, could it be that they were also announced in advance..."
Xue Zixiao replied helplessly: "I don't know about this. Before I received treatment, I was actually in great pain."
"If you want to confirm it for sure, you have to ask Prince Chi and the Fourth Prince in person. Otherwise... you will be no different from the people who heard the rumors in the capital!"
The eunuch smiled awkwardly. It sounded like Xue Zixiao was defending Yang Xinwan.
However, Yang Xinwan cured Xue Zixiao and gave him hope. It was not surprising that Xue Zixiao protected his benefactor like this.
However, the eunuch had already made a trip to the clinic, and now he had to go to Prince Chi's mansion to seek confirmation, and then he had to go to Yun Xuanting to seek confirmation again. It was really too much trouble.
The eunuch finally said helplessly: "The emperor has rewarded General Xue with a lot of supplements. I have already handed them over to the people in the clinic. They will arrange them in your medicine. General Xue, you should have a good rest. I have to go back to the palace to report!"
Xue Zixiao still looked like he wanted to force himself to sit up. The eunuch stretched out his hand to stop him and then left.
After the eunuch left, Xue Zixiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, everything can be rounded off.
When the eunuch opened the door, he unexpectedly saw a woman standing at the door.
When the woman saw the eunuch, she just nodded slightly and said, "I'm here to give the general some medicine..."
The eunuch simply withdrew his gaze and walked out.
Afterwards, Zhu Xian stepped into the room.
She glanced at Xue Zixiao and placed the medicine bowl next to him.
"Before, I was not lucky enough to meet someone of General Xue's status, but now that I have met him, I don't feel lucky at all..."
Xue Zixiao looked at Zhu Xian strangely, not knowing what Zhu Xian meant.
Zhu Xian didn't even look at Xue Zixiao's expression, and continued to talk: "That man... looks quite old, but his cheeks are clean, very much like a eunuch."
"So, I thought it wouldn't hurt the master to pay more attention, so I held the medicine and eavesdropped at the door for a while."
Xue Zixiao was stunned.
Zhu Xian continued, "I didn't expect you to find such a good excuse for our master..."
Xue Zixiao then had a strange expression on his face: "From your tone, it seems that you know your master's identity very well?"
Zhu Xian raised her eyebrows and said, "At least I know a little bit, otherwise I can't be the master's most trusted person in the clinic, right?"
"I can't let my master down. Apart from looking after the clinic's business, I have no other role to play!"
"You are all big shots... I am a small person and insignificant. However, General Xue, you performed well today. I will tell the master!"
"The master must be a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. Her healing you doesn't count as saving an ungrateful person!"
Xue Zixiao's mouth twitched. Zhu Xian was indeed a small figure, but she had a lot of inner drama.
After the eunuch left, he went straight back to the palace.
He knew that Chi Muyu had once defended Yang Xinwan who was framed in the palace. Naturally, when he went to Prince Chi's mansion to inquire about Yang Xinwan's medical skills, Chi Muyu's answer would be no different from Xue Zixiao's.
They would claim that Yang Xinwan had made a prior statement, but the people did not know about it, so the rumor spread and turned into that Yang Xinwan was claiming the credit for other people's work.
But the fourth prince in the palace...
The eunuch decided it would be better to go and ask!
In the palace.
After changing into a palace dress, the eunuch went to find Yun Xuanting and asked him directly about the matter.
