Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi left the pharmacy.
They returned home by horse-drawn carriage.
Mu Yazhi was unwilling and furious, saying, "Mother, is this how it ends? I've endured so much pain, only to have it all ruined by Mu Chenshuang."
Lu Wei, on the other hand, appeared remarkably calm. "Haven't you figured it out yet?"
Mu Yazhi was taken aback. Looking at her mother's calm expression, she composed herself and asked in confusion, "Mother, what do you mean?"
Lu Wei explained, "The disciples of the Divine Physician Sect all practice the sect's unique acupuncture technique called Plum Blossom Needle. This technique can expel the Qiluo Powder from your body."
Mu Yazhi realized, "So, Mother, the medicine you gave me was so that you would see Doctor Li use the plum blossom needle to detoxify me."
“Dr. Li is truly a member of the Divine Physician Sect. He must know this acupuncture technique, which can detoxify you, but he doesn’t. He looks hesitant and troubled.”
Mu Yazhi was startled and asked in confusion, "Does Doctor Li not know this kind of acupuncture technique?"
Lu Weiwei slightly raised her chin, frowning as she pondered, "I don't think Doctor Li's reaction suggests he can't do it, after all, he was able to secretly get help from that so-called spiritual doctor to cure the Empress Dowager."
Puzzled, Mu Yazhi hurriedly asked, "Then why didn't Doctor Li give me acupuncture to detoxify me?"
Lu Wei replied, "There are two possibilities: either the scar on your face hasn't healed, or Mu Chenshuang secretly instructed Doctor Li to hesitate about whether to detoxify you because your condition has worsened."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yazhi gritted her teeth in hatred. In her opinion, this was absolutely true; Mu Chenshuang was deliberately persecuting her.
Lu Wei's eyes darkened, and she continued, "Either Doctor Li is afraid to use it."
"Now everyone knows he's from the Divine Healer Sect. Why wouldn't he dare? Isn't he afraid of ruining the reputation of the Divine Healer Sect?"
"Didn't I tell you before that if a member of the Divine Healer Sect is expelled from the sect, he will be prohibited from practicing medicine using the sect's unique medical techniques?"
Mu Yazhi was stunned. "Mother, do you mean that Doctor Li may have been expelled from the Divine Physician Sect, but why would that so-called Spiritual Physician secretly help him treat the Empress Dowager?"
"So this is just my guess. The first possibility is entirely possible, and his obedience to Mu Chenshuang's orders is also very suspicious."
Today's probing was not without its gains.
Mu Yazhi realized, "Indeed, Doctor Li seems to really listen to Mu Chenshuang's orders. Doctor Li has the spiritual physician of the Divine Physician Sect behind him, so why does he need to listen to Mu Chenshuang so much?"
As Mu Yazhi spoke, she suddenly realized something and her eyes widened in astonishment, "Could it be that Mu Chenshuang has some connection with that spiritual healer? Is that why she was able to escape from the palace yesterday?"
Lu Wei frowned slightly. "Indeed."
Thinking back to the day the Empress Dowager was treated, only Mu Chenshuang was with Doctor Li, and no one knew what had happened inside.
If Mu Chenshuang really has some kind of relationship with the spiritual healer, it's not a good thing for them.
Inside the pharmacy.
Doctor Li told Mu Chenshuang what had happened.
“Miss Mu has been poisoned by Qiluo Powder. This poison can be expelled using the Plum Blossom Needle technique of the Divine Physician Sect, but this poison is not common. How could Miss Mu have taken such a medicine?”
Mu Chenshuang said, "It's obvious she came here to test you, Doctor Li."
Lu Wei was truly willing to sacrifice Mu Yazhi to test Doctor Li. She would never do something without a way out, and she must have the antidote for Qiluo Powder in her possession.
Doctor Li's face darkened, and he looked worried. "What exactly are they testing?"
"To test whether you can use the plum blossom needle to detoxify Mu Yazhi."
Doctor Li felt a pang of panic, but wondered, "Why would Madam Lu know about the Plum Blossom Needle of the Divine Physician Sect?"
The acupuncture techniques of the Divine Physician Sect are known only to those within the sect; they are its secrets, and outsiders have no way of knowing them.
Instantly.
Doctor Li began to feel uneasy. Although everyone knew that he was a member of the Divine Physician Sect, he was still apprehensive about using the sect's unique acupuncture techniques for treatment. After all, he had been expelled from the sect, and if it were discovered that he was using plum blossom needles to practice medicine, he would surely be punished by the sect.
Mu Chenshuang understood why Doctor Li was worried. Since Lu Wei had come to test him, it could only mean that Doctor Li was being watched and someone was secretly investigating him.
"Dr. Li, have you noticed anything unusual around you lately?" Mu Chenshuang asked.
Dr. Li pondered for a moment, then frowned and replied, "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but lately I've felt like someone has been following me. Also, the other day a patient came in, and when I was taking his pulse, he accidentally knocked over a teacup and spilled it on the back of my hand. He was in a hurry to remove the bandage on my hand, but I stopped him in time. Now that I think about it carefully, he did it on purpose."
Because the mark of the Divine Healer Sect on the back of his hands had been etched on him after he was expelled, he always kept his hands wrapped in bandages so as not to be noticed.
Hearing Doctor Li's words, Mu Chenshuang's expression turned serious. "Your feeling is right. Someone is indeed investigating you. However, rather than investigating you, they want to investigate the spiritual healer behind you."
They are definitely interested in the most mysterious spiritual healer of the Divine Healer Sect.
I'm afraid the person behind Lu Wei is the one secretly investigating Doctor Li. The fact that they dare to secretly investigate the Divine Doctor Sect means there's definitely more to it than meets the eye.
Perhaps we can use this opportunity to find out who is behind Lu Wei.
"The news that you are a member of the Divine Healer Sect has spread, but they all know that you have a spiritual healer behind you, so they would never dare to touch you easily. I will ensure your safety and will not let anything happen to you, Doctor Li. From now on, you can treat patients as you normally would, without any need to hide anything."
Having witnessed Mu Chenshuang's abilities, Doctor Li trusted her implicitly, and since she had said so, he agreed.
"Dr. Li, you don't need to close your shop these days. Keep it open for business and pay more attention to people who come to you for treatment."
Dr. Li nodded. "Okay."
After giving a few instructions, Mu Chenshuang left the pharmacy.
We went out the back door.
Seeing Mu Chenshuang come out, Shen Nanzhi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Shuang'er, what happened?"
Mu Chenshuang explained, "It's nothing, but there's something I'd like to ask you for help with."
Shen Nanzhi was naturally quite willing, "Shuang'er, you speak."
"I want you to arrange for two trusted and capable men to secretly protect Doctor Li. Recently, someone has been investigating him, and I want to know who is investigating him."
After Shen Nanzhi returned to the capital, he heard that the Empress Dowager had been cured by the miraculous healers of the Divine Physician Sect.
"Shuang'er, how do you know this Doctor Li?"
Mu Chenshuang didn't explain further, "He helped me once."
Seeing that Mu Chenshuang was unwilling to say more, Shen Nanzhi stopped asking and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements when I get back."
"kindness."
