Chapter 443 Ordinary
Qin Jinzhi's men returned from the East Palace, and indeed, there were people hiding in the side rooms of the East Palace.
Moreover, this person must be a master at concealing their tracks.
Despite multiple investigations, no one was able to see the person's true face.
Qin Jinzhi thought for a moment, then said, "I understand. You may leave."
She sat in the chair and waited for a while before the Hua sisters came in.
"Princess."
Before long, under the skillful hands of the two, Qin Jinzhi's beautiful face became ordinary.
If you threw yourself into a crowd, no one would recognize you.
Qin Jinzhi changed into the clothes of a medicine boy.
Liu Yiyi called from outside the door, "Are you done?"
Qin Jinzhi opened the door, and Liu Yiyi touched her chin and looked at Qin Jinzhi.
Then she turned to the Hua sisters and said, “You two sisters are so skillful. When I have some free time, could you teach me too? Don’t worry, I’ll have the princess pay your tuition.”
The Hua sisters laughed and said, "Alright, if you have time, please feel free to come and visit us."
Qin Jinzhi turned to look at Liu Yiyi, but Liu Yiyi avoided her gaze and turned away.
"Now that we're ready, let's set off."
Liu Yiyi led a group of medical children toward the East Palace.
The Crown Prince, upon seeing Liu Yiyi leading so many people in Shen Liuying's courtyard, casually glanced around and asked, "What's this, Headmistress Liu?"
Liu Yiyi said, "Your Highness, His Majesty and the Empress know that I am here today to examine Consort Shen's pulse. They specially asked me to bring tonics for Consort Shen to help her recover. There are too many things, so I will ask some medical apprentices to come with me."
The Crown Prince smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Father and Mother."
He looked at Shen Liuying, "Have you finished checking Ping'an's pulse? How is the child?"
Shen Liuying stood up and said, "Your Highness, the baby in my womb is very healthy. Just now, the Imperial Physician Liu gave me some instructions on what I need to pay attention to these days."
The Crown Prince smiled and nodded, "In that case, Ying'er, go back and rest. Later, I will accompany you for a walk in the small garden."
Shen Liuying, supporting her pregnant belly, bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
Seeing Shen Liuying leave, Liu Yiyi stood up and said, "The pulse diagnosis is complete, and I have conveyed His Majesty and the Empress's wishes. I will not disturb Your Highness any longer. I will take my leave."
"Professor Liu, wait a moment."
The Crown Prince called out to Liu Yiyi, who was about to leave.
“A-Piao is experiencing some discomfort due to the change in environment since leaving the capital. Now that Chief Physician Liu has come to the Eastern Palace, we would like to trouble him to take a look at A-Piao.”
Liu Yiyi paused, then said, "This is my duty. Your Highness is too kind. May I ask where the princess's boudoir is? Please trouble the palace servants to show me the way."
The Crown Prince then spoke up, "I was just about to visit A Piao. How about I lead the way for Principal Liu?"
Liu Yiyi bowed and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness."
The group left Shen Liuying's courtyard.
In the blink of an eye, the last person in the group disappeared.
Qin Jinzhi skillfully evaded the Eastern Palace's guards and arrived at the side room.
She hid in a tree and took out a whistle from her pocket.
The same whistle as the West Night Man who once controlled the tiger pack.
The whistle blew.
The guard dogs kept in the backyard of the Eastern Palace started barking in unison.
As the whistle sounded, the guard dog's barking grew closer.
Qin Jinzhi took out an oil paper package from her bosom.
She unfolded the oil paper, and inside was a piece of meat.
Qin Jinzhi took out a porcelain bottle and poured the medicinal powder inside onto the meat.
Then he was thrown violently into the courtyard of the side room.
The guard dogs' voices grew closer and closer, until finally they all barked and jumped into the courtyard of the side room.
The guards in the courtyard screamed in fright at the uncontrollable guard dogs.
Qin Jinzhi calmly watched as the crowd in the courtyard clashed and fought with the guard dogs.
At that moment, the door to the side room was opened.
The tall, masked man quickly retreated.
Qin Jinzhi chuckled lightly. Even though he was covered up tightly, Qin Jinzhi still recognized him.
The streams and mountains beside Huangfu Su.
If she were to send someone, she would definitely send one of her most capable people.
Unfortunately, Xishan had also been the place where Huangfu Su had passed messages to her.
People from the State of Chu have arrived.
Qin Jinzhi turned and left.
She tiptoed into Shen Liuying's courtyard.
Shen Liuying was so frightened when she saw a person dressed as a medical apprentice suddenly enter that she was about to scream.
Qin Jinzhi said, "It's me."
Shen Liuying then patted her chest and said, "I thought a thief had broken in."
Qin Jinzhi said, "I already know the identity of the person in the backyard. You are about to give birth, and that person may attack you. These days, your maidservant cannot leave your side for even a moment."
She pulled a signal flare from her waist.
"If anything goes wrong, immediately set off this signal flare, and my men will come to your rescue as soon as they see it."
Shen Liuying immediately and carefully put away the signal flare.
She said carefully, "Thank you, Princess. Please rest for a while longer. My men have already gone to keep an eye on the Princess's residence. There are many people and eyes there now. If the people from the Imperial Hospital want to leave, it will be much easier for you to find an opportunity to meet up with them."
Qin Jinzhi nodded, "That's fine."
Just then, there was a knock at the door. "Lady, I've brought you the ginseng soup and pastries you requested."
Qin Jinzhi retreated into the shadows.
Shen Liuying opened the door. "Put it on the table and then go downstairs. I'm a little tired and need to rest for a while."
"yes!"
After the palace servants left, Shen Liuying immediately said, "Princess, this free-range chicken was specially bought by my mother from the mountains. I asked Principal Liu for the recipe, but I couldn't figure out when you would be coming, so I simmered it over a low flame. My mother said you were very tired today, so it's good to drink this to replenish your energy."
Shen Liuying served soup to Qin Jinzhi and placed it in front of her.
Then, as if remembering something, he took out a silver needle from his sleeve.
"I'm about to give birth, so I need to keep an eye on those two from the next courtyard."
Qin Jinzhi held the bowl and smelled it. "It smells quite good."
However, Qin Jinzhi did not drink the soup. "I'm taking medicine recently, so I can't drink medicinal food. Thank you for your thoughtfulness."
Upon hearing this, Shen Liuying quickly replied, "It was Liuying who did not consider this."
Qin Jinzhi picked up the teacup. "This is fine for me. Your body needs more nutrition, so you should drink more of this soup."
Shen Liuying nodded after hearing this and sipped her soup.
Just then, a palace maid came to report from outside, "Lady, the people from the Imperial Hospital are preparing to leave."
Qin Jinzhi got up to leave.
Shen Liuying quickly said, "Princess, please be careful in everything you do."
Qin Jinzhi nodded, then disappeared behind the window.
Just as Qin Jinzhi was leaving.
A woman dressed as a palace maid emerged from the shadows.
She watched Qin Jinzhi's departing figure, then turned and walked towards the Crown Prince's study.
When they knocked on the door, Xiao Can was sitting inside.
A palace maid stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Princess Jinzhi did not drink the tonic soup."
Xiao Can was not surprised. "Jinzhi is always cautious, so it's normal that she doesn't drink that soup."
The palace maid looked at Xiao Can and said, "Then His Highness the Crown Prince's plan has failed."
Xiao Can got up, walked to the bookshelf behind him, pulled out a book, and returned to his desk to read it.
"Who said Jie Ningdan was in the soup?"
