The next day.
Fu Junheng's people continued to deliver morning dew.
Mu Chenshuang was about to go to Yaoguang Residence when she saw the servants from the main courtyard rushing in as she reached the main gate.
Upon seeing Mu Chenshuang, the servants quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Princess."
Mu Chenshuang didn't stop him.
There's something I need to ask Lu Wei; the three days I gave her are up.
In the main hall.
"Is it closed?" Lu Wei asked seriously.
The servant answered truthfully, "Yes, Doctor Li is closed today. I don't know why."
Lu Wei's face darkened. There was still no news of the assassins sent yesterday, and they had most likely met with misfortune.
Yesterday, she sent someone to Miaoyuzhai to retrieve the jewelry. The maid happened to pass by the pharmacy and saw Xue Jiajia wearing a mask beating up Doctor Li. Afterwards, Mu Chenshuang appeared and took Xue Jiajia into the pharmacy.
Because she was in a hurry, the maid left after Mu Chenshuang brought Xue Jiajia into the house and the crowd gradually dispersed. So she didn't know what happened afterward.
If Xue Jiajia really wasn't disfigured, why would she wear a veil?
But if someone is truly disfigured, how could they suddenly recover in a short period of time without leaving any trace?
Only a legendary healer could possess such magical skills.
Therefore, she couldn't help but suspect that this mysterious healer was in Kyoto. It was rumored that the healer of this Divine Doctor Sect was not only skilled in medicine, but also extremely skilled in martial arts. Last night, she sent assassins to investigate the truth.
But the assassin was killed. How could a mere doctor like Doctor Li have such abilities? Or was Doctor Li simply hiding his true abilities?
Regardless of the truth, that Dr. Li must know the reason behind it.
If this legendary healer really is in Kyoto, she must find a way to see him.
The emperor only gave them three days. It would be best if they could find this miraculous doctor. In this way, the great favor of saving the Empress Dowager would fall on Ya Zhi. The emperor would reward her handsomely, and Ya Zhi would surely be glorious.
If it cannot be found, the worst-case scenario is to shirk responsibility.
"Go and see him again, and do everything you can to get in touch with this Doctor Li."
The assassin was killed last night; Doctor Li must know some secret.
The words had barely left his mouth.
A stunningly beautiful figure in red appeared at the doorway.
Lu Wei looked up and stared intently, her fists clenching suddenly. She suppressed the fierce glint in her eyes, stood up, and walked forward. "Shuang'er is here. Why didn't you have someone announce it beforehand?"
Mu Chenshuang stepped into the room, and the servants beside her were trembling with fear. The servants originally wanted to announce her arrival, but Mu Chenshuang stopped them, and they had no choice.
"Is Aunt Lu afraid that I might accidentally overhear something shameful?"
Lu Wei stiffly forced a smile, concealing the coldness in her eyes. "Of course not. What does Shuang'er want with me?"
Mu Chenshuang walked straight to the main seat, sat down, and her flippant, cold eyes showed no regard for Lu Wei.
"His Majesty issued an edict yesterday, instructing Ya Zhi to contact the Divine Physician Sect as soon as possible to find a spiritual healer to treat the Empress Dowager. His Majesty is now placing all his hopes on Ya Zhi. If a spiritual healer can be found, Ya Zhi will have rendered a great service to the Marquis's Mansion. However, I have heard that a spiritual healer cannot be easily found. If one cannot be found, I am afraid that His Majesty will have some complaints about the Marquis's Mansion. At that time, I will try my best to plead on His Majesty's behalf."
As Mu Chenshuang spoke, a smile curved her lips, but her eyes were cold and devoid of any warmth.
In Lu Wei's view, Mu Chenshuang was simply waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
How could she let her succeed?
What worries her most now is that Mu Chenshuang has already met the spirit doctor before her, since she was with that Doctor Li yesterday.
"We have already sent people to make contact, and the Marquis's residence will certainly do its utmost to invite the divine physicians from the Divine Physician Sect to treat the Empress Dowager."
Mu Chenshuang smiled faintly, "That would be best, but Aunt, the three-day deadline has passed, what about my fief account?"
Her tone was gentle, yet it carried a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine. Mu Chenshuang stared at Lu Wei with piercing eyes.
