Duan Hong listened to her and thought so. After all, Duan Qingxi's identity was extraordinary, and those who wanted to plot against her would have to think twice. But he couldn't help but worry.
After thinking for a while, Duan Hong said to Duan Sijin again after Duan Qingxi finished her meal and returned to her own courtyard, "I'm always feeling uneasy. Although Xi'er is protected by the Fifth Prince and Master Qingyuan, I heard that Qin Yong's people seem to have been investigating her. It's probably related to the incident with Concubine Qin, so you should pay attention."
Duan Sijin frowned upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have someone keep an eye on Qin Yong's movements. Even if he's powerful, if he wants to touch Xi'er, he'll have to see if we agree!"
Although the General's Mansion is low-key and seems to have no capabilities, Duan Hong was highly valued when the late emperor was alive.
Later, the previous emperor passed away and the current emperor succeeded to the throne. Duan Hong also made many outstanding contributions. He was even very aware of the consequences of being too successful and shocking the emperor. Therefore, every time he made a contribution, he would distribute a lot of credit to his subordinates. He was not very warm to the ministers in the court. Only then did the emperor trust him particularly.
So even though he seems to have no say in the court, if he really gets tough, the emperor will have to give him some face.
Duan Qingxi naturally knew that Qin Yong was investigating her. Ever since Concubine Qin got into trouble, Qin Yong had been holding a grudge against her.
He had been investigating her and wanted to win her over, but she declined. He seemed annoyed, so he kept investigating her affairs, probably trying to find something to hold against her.
A while ago, he was investigating very low-key, probably because he felt that the incident of Concubine Qin had been over for some time, so he started to be bolder.
Haha, she is really not afraid of Qin Yong!
Since Duan Qingxi dared to go out for free medical treatment, it meant that she had already made all the preparations.
Those who once had a grudge against her would probably be eager to seize the opportunity to kill her immediately!
Sure enough, two days after Duan Qingxi's free clinic ended, someone came to cause trouble.
About a dozen people ran to the general's mansion crying and shouting, and at the same time carried four or five corpses to block the door, saying that Duan Qingxi had killed people with his medical treatment.
There are at least tens of thousands of people in the capital, and not everyone has sought medical treatment from Duan Qingxi, so many people are not sure about Duan Qingxi's medical skills, as they have only heard about them from others.
So after learning that Duan Qingxi was the female healer from the Holy Dragon Temple and had killed someone, many people gathered in front of the general's mansion, pointing and talking.
"This is simply outrageous! This Qin Yong is simply..."
After Duan Hong learned about this, he was so angry that he didn't know how to curse.
Duan Sijin's face was also very bad. He had been sending people to keep an eye on Qin Yong, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly use this trick.
Doing something like this so early in the morning is clearly done to piss them off!
"Father, this is a serious matter. If Xi'er really killed someone with her medical treatment, then the emperor cannot sit idly by and do nothing, let alone be partial. Qin Yong is trying to force Xi'er to death!"
Rumors are the most terrifying. Duan Qingxi is a girl. If it really gets out that she has a reputation for killing people with her medical skills, wouldn't that be pushing people to death?
Duan Hong's face turned even worse. He angrily said, "I'm going to the palace to find the emperor right now! I want to see what Qin Yong is planning!"
Duan Sijin held him back and said, "Dad, are you confused? We have no evidence to prove that Qin Yong did it. What if he turns against us and accuses Xi'er of killing someone? That would be one thing, but we at the General's Mansion are deliberately framing him... Framing an important official in the court is also a serious crime!"
