Chapter 385 Du Zhihuan Meets Yang Xu Again
At six in the afternoon, Du Zhihuan entered the city.
When Ah Qi saw that Du Zhihuan's carriage was not heading towards the Song Mansion, he instantly became alert, wrapped the chicken leg in his hand, stuffed it into his arms, and followed.
Tian Xiao winked at two subordinates not far away and turned into the alley on the side.
When Tian Xiao reached the end of the alley, he met Du Zhihuan and his group heading northeast.
Tian Xiao was about to follow when he suddenly turned around.
However, the alley was empty.
Tian Xiao was surprised. Could it be that he had sensed it wrong?
After Tian Xiao left for a while, a man flew down from the roof and let out a long sigh.
When Du Zhihuan arrived at Zhijihuanzhang, she did not rush over, but went to the private room on the third floor to check the accounts first.
I sat there for half an hour.
Du Zhihuan suddenly turned her head to look at the dressing table behind the screen. Yunshuang had already dressed up as Du Zhihua, ready to replace Du Zhihuan at any time.
Yunyan spoke at the right time, "Miss, you've been sitting here for so long. Why don't you have some fruit tea and rest for a while before continuing to look through the account books?"
"My eyes do feel a little uncomfortable." Du Zhihuan raised her hand and pinched her eye sockets. After a moment, she stood up and left the desk by the window. She went to the round table and sipped her fruit tea while whispering, "Have you spotted anyone suspicious around the tavern?"
"No suspicious persons have been found yet.
"Yan'er, pay attention to the open windows of the teahouse across the street."
"Yes." Yunyan replied in a low voice.
Du Zhihuan picked up a cup of fruit tea and stood up to go behind the screen. Not long after, Yunshuang came out with a cup of fruit tea. The first thing she said was Du Zhihuan's voice, "Yan'er, pour me another cup. I find my skin is much smoother than before."
"Okay, Miss." Yunyan filled Yunshuang's glass with fruit tea and said, "Would you like me to massage your shoulders?"
"No, my neck isn't sore. I'll continue checking the accounts and doing my homework."
Then Ningshuang sat back at the desk, while Yunyan served her with pen and ink.
Yunyan leaned against the window with her sword in her arms as usual.
Ah Qi quietly peeked over from the rooftop of the teahouse opposite, and saw Du Zhihuan sitting back at the desk. He then glanced at Du Zhihuan's carriage parked at the right alley entrance of the tavern.
Just as he was about to retract his head and lie down again, he seemed to think of something. He got off the roof and quickly went to the back alley of the tavern to avoid Yunyan's sight.
Du Zhihuan and Yunque dressed up as tavern cooks, carrying vegetable baskets and went out the back door to the back alley.
Du Zhihuan's guard Ding Jia, dressed as a waiter, saw the two of them coming out and said in a gruff voice, "Come up quickly! The evening market is almost here. If you go too late, you won't be able to buy good food."
When Ah Qi rushed over, he saw two young women throwing the basket of vegetables onto the cart, then they sat down on the cart, and then lifted their feet and got on the cart, all in one smooth move.
Ah Qi looked past them and stared at the back door of the tavern.
A strange man standing behind Ah Qi glanced at the two cooks on the cart, and his eyes quickly turned to the back door of the tavern like Ah Qi's.
Ding Jia pushed the two of them out of the alley quickly.
The beggar, his face covered in black ash, looked up at the cart passing by, then after a moment he looked away and continued to stare at the back door of the tavern in the alley.
The next moment, the beggar's eyes changed slightly, he stood up suddenly, looked at the cart going away, hesitated for a moment, and followed it.
Ding Jia pushed the two of them towards the vegetable market, walked two blocks and entered an alley.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Ding Jia drove the carriage out of the alley and looked around. Not finding anyone suspicious, he drove away quickly.
The beggar in the dark had a gleam of excitement in his eyes.
He was right. How could a woman working in the kitchen have such white and delicate hands?
"Master." Wang Yong knocked on the door of the dark room. "Miss Du is here."
"Quick, make my treasured premium Maofeng tea."
Yang Xu quickly straightened his clothes, hurried out of the dark room and headed for the living room, "Miss Du, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
When Du Zhihuan saw Yang Xu again, even though she couldn't see his real face, she could tell that he looked good and seemed to have gained weight.
"I just arrived too. You look good, so you must be recovering well. Are you feeling unwell?"
Yang Xu looked at her niece, who looked very much like her sister, with a loving look in her eyes. "Thank you for your concern, Miss Du. I'm recovering well and I'm fine now."
Du Zhihuan dropped the politeness and quickly got to the point. "How's the progress? Can we successfully train him before Prince Xiao's birthday party?"
Yang Xu stood up and said, "The guest hall is not a place for talking. Please follow me."
Du Zhihuan brought Yunque and followed Yang Xu to the left rear room.
The maid in the room saw Yang Xu coming in and quickly bowed and saluted, "This servant greets the master."
"Raise your head? Let the young lady take a closer look."
The maid raised her head and looked at Du Zhihuan, who was dressed as a woman standing at the door.
"This servant has met the young lady."
Du Zhihuan was confused for a moment. The servant in front of her looked quite pretty.
Yang Xu said: "Miss, can you see clearly?"
Du Zhihuan nodded.
Afterwards, Yang Xu took Du Zhihuan and Yunque to the right rear room.
When Du Zhihuan and Yun Que saw the maid lying on the bed, they were both shocked.
This... this is the research result.
Yang Xu didn't say anything extra and stepped forward to give the maid a few injections.
The maid soon fell into a coma.
Yang Xu drew the poisonous insect out of the maid's body, and the maid's face turned noticeably paler.
Yun Que hurried forward to carefully feel his pulse. Yun Que was shocked, and worry flashed in his eyes. "This... this is the side effect. This body is seriously damaged."
"Don't worry, I'll adjust it and minimize the damage."
Du Zhihuan said, "The poison has been removed. Her face has just lost its color, but it hasn't returned to its original appearance."
Yang Xu took out the gold needles and used eighteen gold needles of different lengths to give the maid acupuncture one by one.
Yun Que was amazed when she saw this. She had seen Yang Xu's acupuncture technique in an ancient medical book.
As expected of a Gu breeder, his medical skills are not simple!
After waiting for half an incense stick of time, the maid's face gradually returned to its original appearance, and she looked a bit better than the maid next door.
Yang Xu put away the needle and took Du Zhihuan to the main courtyard.
Wang Yong poured the brewed Mao Feng tea for Du Zhihuan, "Miss Du, this is the top-quality Mao Feng tea that my master has collected."
Du Zhihuan noticed the fragrance of tea and picked it up to take a sip. "Not bad, not bad, good tea."
Yang Xu was delighted, knowing Huanhuan would like it. Seeing her put down her teacup, he said, "The Illusion Face Gu is basically successful, but the side effects are quite severe. I'll adjust the dosage of the herbs again."
Du Zhihuan was surprised: "Isn't it nourished with blood?"
"We still need medicinal herbs."
"Is what was delivered before enough?"
"There's still one third left, that's enough. Give me another seven days."
"Seven days is enough to minimize the damage?"
Yang Xu nodded firmly, "Okay."
Yun Que said, "Miss, the more people know about this, the more dangerous it will be. What if those two maids leak the information in the future?"
"Don't worry." Yang Xu comforted him, "They haven't met each other yet. The maid in the right back room won't know anything when she wakes up."
Du Zhihuan was relieved. "Then I'll wait for you for seven days. After seven days, I'll go to Zhijihuanzhang on the day I don't have classes."
"good!"
"Oh. By the way, I was supposed to come over a few days ago to check on the progress, but I found out someone was following me, so I came over today."
"What?" Yang Xu felt something was wrong. "Aren't you worried about being followed today?"
Du Zhihuan: "I didn't see anyone suspicious today, but maybe there are. Just in case, I'm leaving this door. If anyone comes to inquire, you should think of a good excuse, and keep your face like this, don't reveal your true appearance."
"good."
"It's getting late, I have to go back."
"etc."
Yang Xu took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote a prescription, gave it to Du Zhihuan, and whispered a few words to her before watching her leave.
