At this time, Zuo Xiyan was still sitting in the same posture as before, casting his light eyes out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a moment, he raised his hand slightly.
Suddenly, a black shadow quietly appeared in the room, kneeling on one knee and waiting for orders.
"Go check her identity." He ordered softly.
"Yes, Master."
The black shadow responded and disappeared, leaving no trace as it had just appeared.
After Xia Luotong left Yusheng Pavilion, he turned around and went to Baimei Ju. He took two more books with him, and then returned to the palace with Zhuxuan with satisfaction.
As soon as she returned to her small courtyard, she immediately pulled Zhuxuan into the house.
"That young master Zuo Xiyan from Zuo Xiangfu, does he know medical skills?" she asked cautiously.
She still remembered that when she was in Yusheng Pavilion, she was bumped by the girl in pink, and Zuo Xiyan took her pulse while helping her.
The technique is sophisticated and the pulse feeling is accurate. It is not an accident no matter how you look at it.
"I have never heard of this slave. It is only rumored in the capital that Mr. Zuo of Zuo Xiangfu is talented, but there is no mention of his medical skills." Zhuxuan thought for a while and recalled the incident at Yusheng Pavilion. She had not realized it at that time. There was something unusual. When my master said it, I noticed this detail. He frowned and said worriedly, "Master, do you want me to go and inquire about it?"
"Forget it, it's not necessary for the time being. Now that we are in the palace, it's better not to attract others' attention rashly." Xia Luotong thought for a while and decided to give up.
She reacted in time and the other party didn't show anything strange. Maybe he didn't have time to feel her pulse.
Judging from the two contacts so far, Zuo Xiyan should be a friendable person, and he has no ill intentions towards her, so let's take a closer look.
"Is this Yusheng Pavilion the property of Zuo Xiangfu?" Another thought occurred to her and she continued to ask.
"My slave, I don't know." Zhuxuan felt a little apologetic. She didn't know what her master asked her, so it was really useless.
"You don't have to blame yourself. If it's an industry run in secret, it's normal if you don't know about it. Just look for a chance to find out the news next time we go out." Xia Luotong reassured.
"Master, do you think Yusheng Pavilion can agree to your conditions?" Thinking of the high price offered by her master, Zhuxuan felt a little unsure.
"Don't worry, you'll probably be able to deal with it." Regarding this matter, Xia Luotong was quite confident, "I'm going to draw two more design drawings. You go ahead and boil the medicine. I'm still waiting for you to save my life. !”
She smiled and pushed Zhuxuan, who was amused by her words and let go of the sadness in her brows. She smiled and went out to make medicine.
After drawing the drawing and drinking the medicine, she made another batch of pills to prepare for emergencies on weekdays.
She was now extremely poisoned, and was about to reach the point where she couldn't wait any longer. The last time she vomited blood was a sign that the poison was about to take effect. In the following period, she would occasionally have symptoms of vomiting blood, so she specially refined it. Pills are given as first aid.
While she was drinking the medicine and wondering whether Zuo Xiyan had medical skills, someone in another part of the palace was discussing whether she had medical skills.
Shaoguang Pavilion.
"You mean she went to Baicaotang to get medicine today? And she just took medicine and didn't ask the doctor to check her pulse?" Wu Zechen frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Did she seek treatment from a doctor elsewhere?"
"The secret guards followed her throughout the whole process today. Miss Xia went directly to Baicaotang after leaving the house and has not been anywhere else, so she probably has not seen a doctor for treatment." Manager Zhang was also confused.
"What kind of medicine did she take?" Wu Zechen's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and there was a faint feeling telling him that this woman did not seem to be as simple as she appeared.
"Ms. Xia took a lot of medicine, most of which have detoxification effects, and some medicinal materials with restorative effects. There seem to be some less relevant medicinal materials mixed in." Speaking of this, Manager Zhang couldn't help but frowned. , "The old slave asked the doctor to check it, but because it is too complicated, the exact effect of these medicinal materials cannot be determined."
"Can't find out the specific effect? But let Lao Xu see the list of medicinal materials?" Wu Zechen was a little surprised.
"I asked Lao Xu to check it, but according to Lao Xu, the person who made this list must be extremely proficient in medicinal materials, because the medicinal materials used for detoxification alone contain several different effects. Obviously Deliberately used to confuse the public. Not only that, when Ms. Xia took the medicine, she did not ask the clerk from Baicaotang to help mix the portions. Instead, she packed each medicinal ingredient separately and prepared it herself at home. "
"You mean, this woman knows medical skills?" Wu Zechen's expression was a little complicated.
"Before I came to report back to you, I specifically asked the secret guard guarding Tingyuxuan for questioning. According to him, the medicinal materials were mixed by Miss Xia herself and then handed over to the maid to brew them." Manager Zhang He said in disbelief, "I think Miss Xia is really good at medicine. And Lao Xu is the best doctor in Baicao Hall. Even he said 'extremely proficient'..."
After hearing this, Wu Zechen's eyes were heavy and his expression was a little difficult to distinguish. He didn't know what he was thinking for a while, and then he continued to speak.
"Have the people sent to Anyuan Town received any news?"
"The news just came back today, saying that Miss Xia's poison should have been poisoned by Mrs. Li, the wife of Shangshu. The details are still being investigated." Manager Zhang said, his eyebrows gathered again, "Besides, according to the investigation, I have been informed that there seems to be some issue with the identity of Miss Xia’s biological mother, Mrs. Sun. Master, do you think you want to pursue it further?”
"Check!" Wu Zechen frowned.
He never thought that the village girl and princess he was forced to marry, who was like an abandoned son, would hide so many secrets. Now even his life experience was covered with a layer of fog. How could he not find out clearly? Can feel at ease!
Not to mention Prince An Wu Zechen's suspicion, Xia Luotong took the medicine honestly in the past two days, and only climbed out of the palace again after a day.
After leaving the palace, she did not go directly to Yusheng Pavilion. Instead, she went to a nearby teahouse first, where she sat quietly and received the gossip revealed from time to time by the tea drinkers around her.
At the same time, Zuo Xiangfu.
"Master, that girl Atong has left the house and is sitting in the teahouse right now." A servant came into the room to report.
Zuo Xiyan, who was holding a pen in front of the writing desk, heard this, paused with the pen in his hand, and then said: "Get ready, go to Yusheng Pavilion."
After his servants were ordered to leave, he put down the pen in his hand and looked out the window with a somewhat wandering look.
He never imagined that the woman he met twice by chance was actually Princess An, about whom rumors were flying these days.
Originally, he was just being cautious and felt that the two consecutive encounters were too coincidental. He was not sure if someone wanted to get close to him. In addition, she was about to cooperate with Yusheng Pavilion, so he checked out the details. Unexpectedly, To find out such big news.
