Upon returning to Tai'an Inn, Su Qiqi simply washed her face, and then went with Zheng Miao to visit the injured Master Huikong.
When the two of them arrived at the door of the guest room where Master Huikong was, they saw Yao Zhongning sitting on the threshold in a daze, holding Heihu in his arms. Seeing Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao approaching, Yao Zhongning suddenly stood up, hugged Heihu and walked to Su Qiqi and said: "Sister Nangong, please save the master!"
Looking at the pitiful child in front of her, Su Qiqi gently touched his hair and said softly: "Sister will do her best... Take her to see the master..."
Yao Zhongning nodded and jumped ahead to lead the way. When the three of them arrived in the room, they saw that Qin Chuan, Granny Cui, and Protector Sun were also there. There is an empty medicine bowl on the table next to the bed, with residual medicine stains on it. I think the master just drank the medicine.
"Master, are you feeling better?" Su Qiqi walked up to Master Huikong and asked softly.
Master Huikong's face was still a bit tired, and he said with a forced smile: "It's much better. I just used my kung fu to expel the poisonous gas, and I drank the detoxification soup specially prepared for me by Grandma Cui. I should be fine..."
Granny Cui, who was checking the master's pulse at the side, stood up now, her expression relaxed a little, and said to Su Qiqi with a smile: "The poison in the master's body has basically been eliminated. If you continue to exercise your strength and drink medicine for a few days, you should be able to recover." Already..."
Su Qiqi nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Granny Cui..." Granny Cui smiled calmly and said, "It's just a small effort...Master saved my life, I should try my best to repay..."
Su Qiqi didn't say anything more. She just walked to Protector Sun silently and told him to pay more attention to Master Huikong's injury and send more people to protect the safety of Master Huikong and Yao Zhongning.
Protector Sun cupped his fists and saluted, and said, "Don't worry, Miss Nangong, Sun will do his best to protect the master and the young master."
Su Qiqi also returned the gift, and then chatted with the master for a few words before leaving first and taking Zheng Miao to complete another important matter.
After walking out of the guest room, Su Qiqi whispered to Zheng Miao: "Let's be more alert at night. The master has not recovered yet, so we need to take more care of him..."
Zheng Miao nodded and said, "Sister, don't worry, I just placed a sensor alarm in the master's room. As long as someone breaks in, the alarm will sound and we can rescue people in time!"
After hearing this, Su Qiqi smiled approvingly and said, "Xiao Nizi, you are getting smarter and smarter!"
Zheng Miao stuck out her tongue, and then said seriously: "Sister, where are we going now?"
Su Qiqi looked at a room deep in the corridor ahead and said, "Of course we go to the imperial physician Gu Zhongkai! I wonder how your brother's conversation with him went?"
Su Qiqi sighed worriedly, quickened her pace, and walked towards the room where Gu Zhongkai was.
Zheng Miao followed her closely, looking left and right from time to time to make sure no one was following them.
When they arrived at the door of the guest room, they saw that the door of the guest room was ajar, and the sounds of Gu Zhongkai and Qin Chuan talking could be heard from inside. Su Qiqi coughed twice, then pushed the door open and walked in with Zheng Miao.
When Gu Zhongkai saw Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao, he hurriedly stood up and invited them to sit down, and then said politely: "Thank you two girls for your life-saving grace. I will definitely keep it in mind and try to repay you in the future!"
Su Qiqi smiled and said, "Don't be polite, Mr. Gu. I came today mainly to tell you about the letter..."
Gu Zhongkai cupped his hands and said, "Girl, please speak up, but I will tell you the truth." After that, he invited Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao to sit down again, and made them a cup of tea each.
Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao sat down next to Qin Chuan. The two of them gently picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then both looked at Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan smiled slightly and motioned to the two of them to speak.
Su Qiqi then turned to Gu Zhongkai and asked tentatively: "Mr. Gu, I have a very important letter here. I would like you to identify the authenticity..."
"Well, this official is only good at the Qihuang technique, so I'm afraid he won't be able to take on this important task..." Gu Zhongkai showed a look of embarrassment after hearing Su Qiqi's words.
Before Su Qiqi had time to explain, Qin Chuan interrupted: "Old imperial doctor, I just want you to identify Lin Quan's handwriting and learn about the poison pill case you were involved in. It shouldn't be difficult..."
"Oh? You mean that letter was written by Lin Quan? And it also mentioned the poison pill case?" Gu Zhongkai looked as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue, showing an extremely shocked expression.
"Exactly, and that letter was written to you..." Su Qiqi added.
Gu Zhongkai was even more surprised and couldn't wait to read the letter.
Su Qiqi took out the letter from her sleeve and handed it to Gu Zhongkai.
Gu Zhongkai took the letter and couldn't wait to open it and read it. After just a few glances, his expression changed drastically.
Su Qiqi felt a strong curiosity in her heart and couldn't help but ask: "Master Gu, is this letter true or false?"
Gu Zhongkai did not answer immediately, but murmured: "Impossible...impossible..."
Qin Chuan and Zheng Miao were confused and couldn't help but interject: "What do you mean it's impossible?"
Gu Zhongkai came back to his senses, but he did not answer the questions of Su Qiqi and others. Instead, he asked nervously: "Where did you get this letter from?"
Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan looked at each other and said, "It fell from Ye You Wuchang who pretended to be you... so we are not sure whether this letter is a forgery..."
When Gu Zhongkai heard what she said, he nodded slightly and said, "That makes sense..."
Su Qiqi and others were even more confused, and said in their hearts, old imperial doctor, please stop being so pretentious and can you explain it to us more clearly?
Although she secretly complained in her heart, Su Qiqi still asked politely: "Mr. Gu, is this letter true or false? How did it get into Ye You Wuchang's hands?"
Gu Zhongkai sighed and explained quietly: "The matter started more than half a month ago. At that time, I received a letter from Lin Quan, saying that things had changed and asked me to come to Juxing Town... I originally I wanted to refuse, but Lin Quan came with a second letter, the one you just showed me... He said that if I didn't go, he would blame everything on me... for At risk of the lives of dozens of people in the Gu family, I had no choice but to take a leave of absence, sneak out of the capital, and come to Juxing Town to meet Lin Quan..."
"You are saying that you participated in the poison pill incident plotted by Lin Quan and others, and then he threatened you to come to Juxing Town to meet him, and then imprisoned you in the secret room of Juxing Inn?"
Su Qiqi carefully sorted out what happened based on the contents of the letters she had read before and Gu Zhongkai's introduction.
Gu Zhongkai nodded and said: "It's all because the official was confused for a moment and was taken advantage of by some people. According to the so-called fairy prescription given by Lin Quan and others, he gave the emperor a few life-prolonging pills, which almost killed him..."
"What? You dare to do this? Aren't you afraid of losing your head and implicating the nine tribes?" Qin Chuan screamed after hearing Gu Zhongkai's words.
Gu Zhongkai smiled awkwardly and said: "At that time, Xiaguan was also obsessed with money. Who would have expected that it would bring disaster to the Gu family... Lin Quan told Xiaguan that the day after I left the capital, things happened. It was completely exposed, and the emperor issued an imperial edict to kill, exile, and jail everyone involved in the case... I regret it so much now..." After saying this, he looked ashen and looked like he was in pain. .
Su Qiqi was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Then how did my father get involved?"
After hearing Su Qiqi's question, Gu Zhongkai looked confused.
Doesn't he know that too? Su Qiqi couldn't help but murmur in her heart.
