Jiang Xinian curled his lips and muttered softly, "That sounds nice, but I wonder who was the one who stayed up late to memorize the lessons when we were in the Divine Doctor Sect out of spite!"
Su Jingsheng was embarrassed for a moment, but soon regained his composure, "Master, you've already mentioned what happened back then! We brothers were all young at that time, so it was normal for us to get carried away for a while."
But now it’s different. We are all so old now. How can we be so angry with our junior sister? And we finally have a soft and lovely junior sister. We love her so much.”
Little Lingling happily rubbed her face against Su Jingsheng's. It felt like hugging a spoiled cat, and Su Jingsheng felt extremely warm in his heart.
Jiang Xinian didn't bother to interrupt anymore, and instead asked about the real business, "How is it going? Has the person behind today's incident been caught?"
Seeing him ask this, Su Jingsheng's face became a little serious and he shook his head, "No, that person was very careful. After realizing he was exposed, he immediately pushed out a scapegoat.
So, I just caught some small fish and shrimp, which is of no use!"
As soon as Xiao Lingling heard it, she knew that something must have gone wrong in the palace today!
"Big Brother, what's wrong? What happened in the palace?"
Su Jingsheng didn't want her to worry, so he opened his mouth and tried to find an excuse to get away with it.
But Jiang Xinian told everything in detail.
It turned out that the news of the queen's death had not been heard in the palace, and someone could not wait any longer, so they hired someone to poison the queen's medicine.
Fortunately, Su Jingsheng was very alert and the queen was also on high alert. She could tell that the medicine tasted wrong the moment she took it.
So the master and disciple checked her immediately. Fortunately, she did not swallow it and only showed very mild symptoms of poisoning. They gave her a pill and she was fine after taking it.
The two checked for a long time. Logically speaking, the medicine was prepared by Su Jingsheng himself, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Later, after the master and apprentice searched and checked the entire small kitchen, they discovered that someone had smeared poison on all the kitchen utensils!
As long as they take it out and use it, the toxins will be absorbed silently!
He is really cruel.
However, these kitchen utensils had not been replaced recently, so the two checked again and found that someone had put a large amount of poison in the water tank in Fengqi Palace.
Using this water to wash kitchen utensils will naturally contaminate them with toxins.
Afterwards, the emperor was furious and took away all the servants in Fengqi Palace, including the guards outside the palace, for interrogation and found the person who poisoned them.
But she was just an ordinary palace maid who received gold and silver to do things. In the end, when they followed the clues, they only found a former minor eunuch.
By the time they went to look for him, he was already dead, and the clues were completely cut off...
Xiao Lingling was furious when she heard this. "Why are these bad guys killing people again? Don't they know that killing people will bring karma?"
Seeing that her face turned red with anger, Su Jingsheng hurried to comfort her.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry over those bad guys! They don't care about retribution, they only care about power and status."
Xiao Lingling felt a little frustrated. Actually, everyone wants power, status and money, but as a human being, there should be some bottom line.
Forget it, if you can’t figure it out, just stop thinking about it and save yourself a headache.
Su Jingsheng came to Jiang Xinian with Xiao Lingling in his arms and sat down. "Master, I'm here to discuss countermeasures with you. Father has been very aggressive these past two days and has arrested many suspicious people.
However, the big fish behind the scenes has never surfaced. So, my father said, you should announce to the public that you have found a way to cure my mother.
Then, you will come to the palace again tomorrow and ask my mother to wake up and see if you can force the big fish behind to jump out and take the bait."
Jiang Xinian frowned, "What if he doesn't show up?"
Su Jingsheng sighed and continued, "If she doesn't show up, then we can only wait for the next opportunity. After all, my mother is the queen. She has been in a coma for so long, and it has caused a lot of unrest in the court and the harem.
If the Queen Mother's condition doesn't improve, the Emperor will be in a passive position, so recovery can't be delayed any longer."
Jiang Xinian didn't understand that, but nodded anyway, "Okay, I understand. I'll go to the palace again tomorrow!"
After conveying the message, Su Jingsheng did not stay long. After all, he was still worried about his mother's safety and had to go back to look after her.
After he left, Jiang Xinian rubbed his head, looking like he had a headache.
Xiao Lingling quickly poured him a cup of tea, "Master, please have some tea first. Are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Xinian took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, and the feeling of tiredness quickly dissipated a lot.
"It's okay. I'm just a little annoyed. Treating the royal family is the most troublesome thing. Once these things are dealt with, we should leave this troubled place as soon as possible."
Before Xiao Lingling could say anything, the housekeeper rushed in and handed Jiang Xinian a few notes.
"Master, the news of your return has spread recently. These are the visiting cards I sent to you today. They are all here. Can you take a look at them and see if there are any that you need to reply to?"
Jiang Xinian frowned, but still took it. There were seven or eight pictures in total, all from some of the richest families in Beijing.
Jiang Xinian didn't react much to the first few pictures, but when he saw the last one, an expression of disgust immediately appeared on his face.
Little Lingling was curious, so she looked up and took a look. The word "Qin" was clearly written on her face.
Qin?
Could it be Brother Yu’s Qin family?
Jiang Xinian tore up the invitation card directly and said, "From now on, I will not accept any visiting cards sent by the Qin family!"
The butler didn't understand why, but he agreed immediately.
Then he selected from them twice and only picked out two.
Although he didn't like dealing with these wealthy families, he set his own rules to prevent an endless stream of people from coming to him for medical treatment.
He could diagnose illnesses, but every time he came to Beijing, he would only select two hospitals from the list of hospitals he had visited.
Apart from this method, they can only go to the doctor's clinic in person and make a reservation three months in advance.
Therefore, every time he returned to Beijing, he would receive many visiting cards, which would state the family background and symptoms of some patients.
After screening, he will personally visit the patient for treatment.
Apart from this, no one else will be accepted for medical consultation.
It is also because of this rule that his life in Beijing can be easier. Otherwise, he would probably have to take care of those patients every day.
"Please reply these two for me and tell them that I will come to the clinic for treatment the day after tomorrow."
The butler took the two visiting cards, glanced at them, and nodded immediately, "Yes, sir, I'll arrange it right away."
Xiao Lingling flipped through the remaining pictures and was surprised to find that they were all minor problems such as headaches and fevers.
"Master, why do they come to you even for a cold? Aren't there many doctors in the Divine Doctor's Hall?"
Jiang Xinian sneered, "They have other intentions than drinking!"
