Chapter 456 Medical Cases

"This is my duty." Qiao Yu Niang said calmly as she served a bowl of fish soup and placed it in front of Yue Haoyun.

"Please enjoy your meal. I will take my leave now."

Just as Qiao Yu Niang bowed and was about to leave, Yue Haoyun said, "Wait a minute. I have something to ask you."

Qiao Yu Niang came over again, folded her hands on her waist, and stood aside respectfully.

"How is Min these past two days?" Yue Haoyun asked after scooping a spoonful of fish soup and blowing on it.

"Reporting to the prince, Min has been quite obedient these past two days. She has only been keeping vigil in the mourning hall and has not done anything suspicious."

"Earlier, she asked her trusted maid to pass a secret letter to the palace, but was caught by Miss Lan. Miss Lan then activated the insects and made the master and the servant suffer from the insect bites."

"They have been much more obedient since then. They seem to be more afraid of the power of the insects."

While Qiao Yu Niang was talking, Yue Haoyun had already finished a bowl of fish soup. He put down the empty bowl and said lightly: "That's good."

Qiao Yu Niang looked up at the empty bowl and asked in confusion: "Prince, don't you want to drink more?"

Yue Haoyun sighed heavily and said: "Alas! There are too many things in my mind, I can't drink anymore."

After saying this, he forced a smile to Qiao Yu Niang, but this smile was very ugly.

"Master Qiao, if you hadn't sent me the fish soup, I would not have been able to drink even a mouthful."

Qiao Yu Niang was stunned, and a faint blush appeared on her face.

What kind of words does this great prince have?

If she sent him the fish soup, he would drink a bowl, but if someone else sent it, he would not drink it.

Is this a statement of feelings?

No, no, no, the prince had nine concubines before, and the prince always fell in love with every beautiful woman he saw. How can the words of such a casual man be taken seriously?

Besides, I am just an old woman with fading beauty, not a young girl in her twenties.

I must not have any inappropriate thoughts about the man in front of me.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yu Niang said lightly: "Prince, you should be more open-minded about everything. Some encounters in life, although they are not under our control, may also be a turning point."

"Besides, you are both wise and brave, and you will definitely get through this difficult time smoothly."

Yue Haoyun looked at Qiao Yu Niang deeply with his eyes, and a comfortable smile appeared on his lips, "Then I will borrow your good words!"

...

Late at night, in the secret room of the prince's mansion.

Xifeng, along with two other confidants, stood in front of Yue Haoyun.

"Prince, what do you want to do?" Xifeng asked respectfully.

Yue Haoyun said coldly, "Find a way to steal the late emperor's medical records, especially the records when he was seriously ill."

"Also, when the late emperor was seriously ill, the doctor Xu who was in charge of the treatment, and his medicine boy, you go and find out their whereabouts."

Xifeng was a little confused, "Why do you suddenly want to investigate these?"

Yue Haoyun frowned, "Don't ask so many questions, just follow my orders."

The three of them bowed and said "yes", and then withdrew.

...

Another seven days passed in a flash.

In the past few days, the second prince and his entourage continued to visit and attend banquets everywhere under the leadership of the reception envoy.

During the day, they were busy dealing with all these. At night, the second prince and Han Qingbo had to secretly meet with the secret guards to analyze the intelligence they had obtained.

Late at night, the second prince and Han Qingbo had just finished their discussion and went to bed when they heard a bird call outside the window.

Jin Hu and Yin Bao were sleeping in the outer room. When they heard the bird call, they immediately jumped up, tiptoed to the window, and asked in a low voice: "Who is it?"

"It's me!" A familiar voice came.

Jin Hu opened the window, and two dark shadows jumped in.

It was the Great Prince and Xifeng.

They each carried a black bundle on their backs.

The second prince put on his outer robe and asked, "Why are you here? Is there something urgent?"

Yue Haoyun and Xifeng took off the bundles and put them on the table.

"Second Prince, today's matter is a little special, and I need to borrow someone from you, so I just came here to find you."

The second prince looked puzzled and pulled Yue Haoyun to sit down, "Tell me quickly, what's the matter?"

Yue Haoyun took out a jade ring from his arms, handed it to the second prince, and concisely told the second prince the secret that Zhou Daqian told him that day.

The second prince was stunned, "What? So, your father originally wanted to pass the throne to you? It was Zhu Ling who joined forces with Han Lie to seize your throne!"

Yue Haoyun nodded, "That's right."

The second prince's face showed an expression of emotion and anger, "Humph! These two bastards, the throne should have been yours!"

Yue Haoyun patted the second prince's shoulder, motioning him to calm down, and continued: "I have been busy these days. I sent my men to look for the doctor Xu who treated my father at the time, and his medicine boy."

The second prince asked hurriedly: "How is it? Did you find him?"

Yue Haoyun shook his head in disappointment, "Since my father passed away, Doctor Xu retired and returned home."

"But, on his way back home, he encountered bandits, was robbed of his money, and was killed."

The second prince frowned when he heard this, "Where is the medicine boy? Have they been found?"

Yue Haoyun said with a serious face, "Doctor Xu had two medicine boys. After Doctor Xu retired and returned home, the two medicine boys were driven out of the palace for making mistakes."

"My people went to check and found out that after leaving the palace, the two of them found a place to live, and wanted to use their savings of many years to open a medicine shop for a living."

"But on the way to find a shop, the two were robbed of rent and killed by bandits."

The second prince slammed the table fiercely and said, "Humph! Could it be that these three people were cursed? As soon as they left the palace, they were all murdered for money."

"How can there be such a coincidence in the world!"

"Yeah, it's obvious that someone has silenced him." Yue Haoyun said coldly.

The second prince saw Yue Haoyun's grim expression and pulled his sleeve and said, "What about the medical records? Maybe we can find clues from them."

Yue Haoyun opened the two bundles on the table, and more than a dozen books appeared in front of him, "Here, these are them."

"Second Prince, I said that I wanted to borrow someone from you recently, just for these medical records."

The second prince slapped his head and said, "I understand, you want Doctor Yin to help you look at these medical records and find some clues?"

Yue Haoyun smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, Second Prince is smart!"

The second prince waved to Jin Hu at the door and ordered, "Please invite Doctor Yin here immediately. If anyone asks, just say that I have a headache and want Doctor Yin to give me acupuncture."

Jin Hu replied "Yes" and went out.

Yin Xizi's residence was not far from the second prince's yard.

Before long, Yin Xizi hurried over.

"Second Prince, what's wrong with you? I heard from Jin Hu that you suddenly had a headache last night?"

Just after saying this, Yin Xizi walked into the inner room with her medicine box, only to see Yue Haoyun and the second prince sitting at the table, smiling at her.

"Second Prince, are you okay?" Yin Xizi was a little confused.
