Today is the five-day deadline that Lu Junyuan and Kang Taihe agreed upon. Lu Junyuan was planning to send someone to "invite" Kang Taihe to the Prime Minister's residence, but he learned that Kang Taihe had been exposed as an imposter and had been imprisoned.
Another hope was dashed, and Lu Junyuan felt a headache coming on.
Dap's body is getting weaker and weaker. He can only barely keep going by being fed some ginseng soup each day. If this continues, he really won't be able to hold on any longer.
"Uncle Qiu, is there any news about the person who went to find the Sage of Medicine?" Lu Junyuan asked.
They found Qiu Ping standing there blankly to the side, without reacting.
"Uncle Qiu, Uncle Qiu?" Lu Junyuan called twice before Butler Qiu reacted and hurriedly looked up to reply, "Young Master, what are your orders?"
Lu Junyuan asked curiously, "Uncle Qiu, what's wrong? Have you encountered some difficulties?"
After thinking about it, Qiu Ping decided to tell Lu Junyuan.
“Young master, today I saw a young man at Jishetang who looks very much like a doctor I saw in Yanyang, Da Chu, except one is a man and the other is a woman.”
When the incident occurred at Miaoshoutang, Steward Qiu went over to check on the situation.
"What's so strange about that? There are many similar people in the world. Perhaps it's just a coincidence." Lu Junyuan didn't care.
In order to find someone, Uncle Qiu had secretly gone to the Great Chu, so it was not surprising that he was able to meet the doctor of Yan Yang.
"Ah, if only that Dr. Yan Yang could heal again. Back then, there was a baby with a belly as big as a drum, and no other doctor could cure it, but that doctor treated it, and the baby was cured immediately," the steward Qiu sighed. (Chapter 20: Saving Qin Niang's Child.)
“Young Master, the whereabouts of the Medical Sage are hard to ascertain; there’s still no news. I’ve inquired, and it’s true that the young master who saved people at Jishetang and prescribed these remedies was the same young master who appeared at Jishetang today. Why don’t we ask him to come and take a look at the young master?” Steward Qiu suggested.
Lu Junyuan thought for a moment, then said, "Alright, Uncle Qiu, I'll leave this to you."
"Yes, young master."
Just as Steward Qiu left, a guard walked in.
"Young master, here is what you requested." The guard presented a scroll.
Lu Junyuan took the scroll and opened it. It depicted a young woman with a beautiful face. On the right side of the scroll was written: Zhao Ruojin, wife of Jiang Qi'an, a merchant from the Great Chu, aged seventeen, who came to the Great Chu with her husband to do business.
The woman in the painting was the same person Lu Junyuan had seen at the princess's residence. After seeing the portrait and the information, it was indeed as Yuening had said: the wife of a merchant from the Great Chu.
It was normal for a merchant's wife to sell jewelry, so Lu Junyuan didn't pay much attention to it and casually tossed the portrait onto the table.

As soon as the news spread that Kang Taihe had been arrested and Miaoshoutang had been shut down, almost every patient in Longxiao City who needed medical care flocked to Jishetang, nearly causing it to burst into a rage.
Su Ruojin left Yanluo and Hu Qing behind to help Wei Bainian. Just as she was about to leave the clinic, she was stopped at the door by two guards.
"Young master, the Imperial Advisor requests your presence."
Imperial Advisor?
Su Ruojin was just wondering how to find out news from the palace when the Imperial Advisor came to invite her. Wasn't this the perfect opportunity?
She moved her hands slightly behind her back, then said to the two guards, "Please lead the way."
Xiao Yanchu did not come with us to Jishetang today; instead, he took five bodyguards to continue gathering information.
An Yi secretly followed Su Ruojin. When he saw Su Ruojin's gesture, it was clear that his princess consort wanted him to inform the prince.
An Yi instructed the other four guards to continue protecting Su Ruojin while he went to report the situation to the Prince. Since it concerned the Princess Consort, he dared not delay.
