Chapter 187 Dragon Blood Vine
Just as Qin Jinzhi was enjoying some leisure time in the palace.
The results of the first Imperial Medical Academy examination were announced to the world.
Chu Xingsheng ranked first.
The first batch of imperial physicians from the common people were stationed at the Imperial Medical Academy.
Liu Yiyi arrived at the Empress's palace and spoke animatedly with Qin Jinzhi.
"You didn't see it! They looked like two fighting cocks, their eyebrows practically on fire. This was much more impressive than the day I entered the Imperial Hospital."
Qin Jinzhi cracked sunflower seeds and said, “You represent privilege, while these doctors from the common people represent the separation of powers. They are more afraid of Chu Xingsheng and others than of you.”
Liu Yiyi grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, cracked them open, and shook her head. "I can already imagine the chaos that will ensue in the Imperial Hospital in the future."
As she spoke, she took out something wrapped in red cloth from her sleeve.
"This was given to you by Chu Xingsheng as a thank-you gift."
Qin Jinzhi casually asked, "What is it?"
Liu Yiyi unfolded the red cloth, "Dragon Blood Vine."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "What is this?"
Liu Yiyi put the melon seeds in the dish and clapped her hands.
"That old man must have figured out what kind of poison you've been given. Don't underestimate this stuff; it's valuable but has no market. This can repair your heart meridian."
The poison of the Azure Sky is extremely harmful to the human body, especially to the heart.
However, this high-quality dragon blood vine does indeed have the effect of repairing the heart meridian.
Liu Yiyi was unusually serious. "Find out his background thoroughly."
The poisoning of Qin Jinzhi is no small matter; the more people who know about it, the greater the danger to Qin Jinzhi.
"Don't worry, Physician Liu."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi's cheerful expression returned. "This old man has really been a great help. This kind of dragon blood vine is probably a family heirloom. This is quite a generous gift."
She said proudly, "I've been helping Bai Juanjuan with autopsies lately, and I've learned a lot. When I get back, I'll use this dragon blood vine to make you some heart-protecting pills. I guarantee they'll be very effective."
As she spoke, she got up to leave.
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "Leaving already?"
Liu Yiyi slung her medicine box over her shoulder. "What does it mean that this old man brought dragon blood vine?"
Qin Jinzhi asked in confusion, "Does this mean he's grateful for kindness?"
Liu Yiyi rolled her eyes. "It just shows that there are always people more skilled than you! He was able to tell you that you were poisoned by the Azure Sky Poison just by observing you, which means that his medical skills are definitely better than mine. Since we're all on the same side, I'll go and ask him for advice. He shouldn't refuse, right?"
She adjusted her hat and said with a smug look, "Geniuses always put in sweat and effort when others don't know."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and lay back in the chair, "Take care that day, and remember to congratulate Physician Chu for me."
As Liu Yiyi left, Feiyan was bringing over two bowls of ice cream.
Seeing this, she turned back and took away another bowl, saying, "She can't eat cold food."
Feiyan glanced at Liu Yiyi's hurried departure, then at Qin Jinzhi.
He put the bowl of ice cream into his mouth.
Feiyan chewed and chewed, "Miss Liu," chewed and chewed, "Now it seems," chewed and chewed, "not quite the same as when she entered the palace," chewed and chewed, "not quite the same."
Qin Jinzhi looked at her speechlessly, "You're not quite the same as when you entered the palace."
Feiyan chewed away, covering her mouth and secretly amused herself.
However, some people are not so lucky.
After the execution of the Zheng family, the biggest problem became those who had been arrested by Cui Ying and had colluded with the Zheng family in the Thousand Bird Division.
How to make punishment, and the severity of punishment, both become problems.
Chidori-shi is always packed with customers.
Those who bring gifts, those who plead for leniency.
After passing through the gates of the Cui residence, they all came to the Thousand Birds Bureau.
Cui Ying knew that this was at her father's behest.
I wanted to discourage her from giving up.
I wanted her to know how difficult it was for a woman to hold an official position.
This even includes Cui Ying's former best friend.
But Cui Ying's statement was not without basis.
The evidence against those arrested for forming cliques and engaging in corrupt practices is conclusive.
Qin Jinzhi returned to Qianniao Division with the imperial decree, leaving her with only one sentence that day.
For the next seven days, Vice Envoy Cui will have full authority over the Chidori Division!
After saying that, he returned to the palace very quickly.
As Cui Ying listened to the commotion outside the door, her eyes gradually hardened.
She picked up her pen and wrote firmly on each of the indictment documents.
"Judgment!"
After the imperial decree was issued, the Cui family's carriages waited at the entrance of the Thousand Birds Bureau.
Cui Ying's mother has urged her to come home many times.
No matter what Prime Minister Cui does, my mother is innocent.
Cui Ying then planned to return to the mansion to visit Madam Cui.
As soon as I stepped outside, a basket of rotten vegetable leaves came into view.
"Cui Ying! You heartless wretch! I've known you for ten years, and you actually helped that evil Qin Jinzhi kill my father and brothers! You're a disgrace to the position of the Prime Minister's daughter, a model citizen of the capital! You're nothing but a ruthless villain!"
At the entrance of the Chidori Bureau, a girl dressed in a pale yellow dress glared at Cui Ying with red eyes.
Cui Ying stared at the vegetable leaves on the ground, paused for two seconds, and then chuckled softly.
Then, she calmly raised her eyes and said, "Insubordination and offense against this envoy, arrest him."
She now represents Tsukasa Chidori.
Qin Jinzhi made this mountain rise from the ground, and she will not allow it to collapse on the spot.
Moreover, she already knew how cruel this world was.
The path she chose was destined to be misunderstood.
"Cui Ying! You're a viper! You'll die a horrible death! I won't let you get away with this!"
Cui Ying simply dusted off her official robes and said to the people of the Cui residence, "I will ride my own horse."
With that, he mounted his horse and headed towards the Cui residence.
Back at the Cui residence.
Surprisingly, all of Cui's family members were present.
Madam Cui's eyes reddened as soon as she saw Cui Ying. "Aying, why haven't you come home for so long? Your mother was so worried about you."
Cui Ting snorted coldly, "Mother, your worries are probably unnecessary. These days, Aying is very powerful and influential. She can send someone to prison with just a word."
Cui Ying sat down at the dining table without changing her expression. "Hong Fu, the young lady from Tianxiang Tower, was redeemed a few days ago. Second Brother, you probably won't be able to see her next time you go."
Cui Ting's expression froze for a moment, then he looked at Prime Minister Cui with some panic.
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Prime Minister Cui's expression was somewhat cold; he knew Cui Ying's character from a young age.
She wouldn't say it without evidence.
Just then, a voice came from outside the door, "What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Cui Ting immediately said, "Brother! You've come back just in time. Ah Ying is really something now; she's even bringing her official power into the family."
"Ah Ying? What happened?"
This person was none other than Cui Hao, who had just returned to the capital to report on his duties.
He was appointed Prefect of Qingzhou.
However, after being sent away for three years, he heard upon his return that Cui Ying had not only dissolved her engagement with the Pei family.
He even became the deputy envoy of the Chidori Bureau.
Most importantly, he got entangled with that demon king of the capital.
However, he hasn't seen Cui Ying even once since he came back.
Only after asking her mother did she learn that Cui Ying had not returned home for several days.
Cui Ying's expression turned cold as she stood up and looked at the father and his two sons opposite her.
"Is my older brother here to reprimand me too?"
