The Queen Mother nodded, "Speaking of which, you are only two years younger than Ai Jia, but at that time you were already famous all over the world."

"I don't deserve it, I'm just young and frivolous!"

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "When did Dr. Zhang become so humble and humble? The Ai family feels a little less like you!"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Zhang nervously raised his eyes to look at the Queen Mother and said hurriedly: "How dare I make a mistake in front of the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother didn't have the patience to talk about these empty words with him any more, so she put the tea cup down and asked:

"I called you here because I actually want to ask you something. These things have been in the hearts of the Ai family for a long time. After experiencing this calamity, the Ai family feels that if they are not untied, they may be taken to the coffin board."

Doctor Zhang kept bowing, and when he heard these words, he pursed his slightly inward lips even tighter.

"Excuse me, Queen Mother."

"Then the Aijia will tell you directly. The Aijia wants to know why you refused to marry Zhenguo back then?"

Doctor Zhang seemed to have expected that the Queen Mother would ask about this matter. There was not much surprise on his face. After pondering for a moment, he replied:

"I'm just a little imperial doctor, how can I be worthy of a princess..."

"Don't try to prevaricate the Ai family!" The Queen Mother said displeasedly: "Your grandfather is a British Duke and comes from a prominent family. Although you cannot inherit the title, you are highly skilled in medicine. You can be promoted to the sixth rank without even a weak crown. How many people in this capital are you?

A young man as outstanding as you?"

Doctor Zhang was speechless after being questioned, and he swallowed nervously, "Kechen... Your Highness Wu Wu..."

"That's even more nonsense. If you don't have any intention, why would you give your beads to Zhenguo?"

With that said, the Queen Mother asked Aunt Axiu to take the string of Buddhist beads and present them to Doctor Zhang.

Doctor Zhang's eyes flashed slightly and he murmured: "I... just feel a little guilty for letting down His Highness's kindness."

"Guilt?"

The Queen Mother seems to have heard the funniest joke in the world. Since she is ruthless, she still wants to provoke her. How can this be guilt? This is just teasing!

"It's okay if you don't say anything. Just think that Ashi was bitten by a dog. The Ai family has something else to ask you. Why did you leave the palace back then?"

Doctor Zhang's eyes dimmed and he replied: "I was seriously ill that year, so I returned to my hometown. The Queen Mother should be able to find out about this matter."

"Then before you left the palace, did you meet with Divine Doctor Zhuo?"

"No... never!"

"You are lying!"

Before the Queen Mother could speak, a cold and stern voice sounded at the door.

Later, Hua Qianqian and Li Yuan walked in from the door together.

Hua Qianqian walked quickly to the Queen Mother and protected her behind her, while Li Yuan walked to Doctor Zhang and looked at him coldly.

Li Yuan said: "I have already checked. When you left the hospital, Doctor Zhang, you were not sick, but injured. You were fined thirty pieces. Isn't that right?"

There is no record of this incident, but Li Yuan ordered people to inquire about the old people in the palace, and finally found an old eunuch who had worked in the imperial hospital.

Although he didn't know why Dr. Zhang was punished, the old eunuch was sure that Dr. Zhang was seriously injured and left the hospital to recuperate.

Doctor Zhang's face turned green and white, and he trembled his lips and said: "Your Highness, there is no big difference between recuperating from an injury and recuperating from an illness. I am not lying!"

"Then why are you being punished? But because of Divine Doctor Zhuo? That's why you hold a grudge against her and spend your entire life seeking revenge against her!"

These words made Doctor Zhang panic instantly. He subconsciously took a step back, but Li Yuan pinched his wrist and locked it on his waist.

Doctor Zhang struggled to escape and asked anxiously: "What are you doing, Your Highness? Why do you want to arrest the old minister?"

"Why?"

Li Yuan thought of what the Saints' Cult had done, and how they almost killed the Queen's grandmother and Amo, and how they had always wanted to harm Qianqian. The anger in his heart was hard to eliminate, and the strength in his hands became a little stronger.

His eyes were as cold as a knife, and he asked, "Where did you take your adoptive father? And why did you want to catch Qianqian? Come here quickly and truthfully!"

Doctor Zhang was so painful that he broke into cold sweat, but he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what your highness is talking about. I am innocent!"

Li Yuan used a little more force to directly remove Doctor Zhang's arm.

Doctor Zhang let out a shrill scream, knelt on the ground with a pale face, and begged for mercy:

"Your Highness, I am wronged, wronged!"

At this moment, Aunt Axiu helped Princess Zhenguo walk out of the inner room. She had actually been awake for a long time and had been listening to the conversation between the Queen Mother and Doctor Zhang.

When she heard Li Yuan torture Dr. Zhang, she asked Axiu to help her out.

The Queen Mother was afraid that she would be soft-hearted, so she called out urgently: "Ashi..."

Princess Zhenguo waved her hand towards the Queen Mother and stared at Doctor Zhang for a long time before saying quietly:

"No, you are not A-yin! A-yin is so arrogant, he will not beg for mercy even if he is hurt! Who are you?"

Hearing this, Li Yuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he hurriedly pulled Doctor Zhang up. After studying his face for a moment, he actually saw a gap in his jaw.

His eyes dimmed, and he stretched out his hand to grab Doctor Zhang's face, and sure enough, he tore off a thin layer of human skin mask.

The Queen Mother and others couldn't help but gasped when they found out that Doctor Zhang was being impersonated.

"You are Dr. Zhang's servant!"

Li Yuan had already recognized him, but Doctor Zhang escaped. He angrily pulled the collar of the man in front of him and shouted:

"Where are the others? Where did they escape?"

When the servant saw that he was exposed, his lips trembled with fear, and he shook his head repeatedly, "I don't know, Your Highness should kill the younger one. The younger one doesn't know anything."

After saying that, he was about to bite his tongue in an attempt to commit suicide, but Li Yuan directly removed his jaw.

Hua Qianqian recalled the Doctor Zhang she had seen during the day and frowned: "I'm afraid that Doctor Zhang left Xishan a long time ago. The person I saw today should be the same person!"

Doctor Zhang's escape completely confirmed the suspicion that he was the instigator behind the Saints' Cult.

Princess Zhenguo looked pale and murmured: "He...he is actually a member of the Saints' Cult! I always thought that he was obsessed with medical skills to save the country and the people..."

After saying this, she coughed weakly. Hua Qianqian knew that Princess Zhenguo must have been a little irritated, so she and Aunt Axiu helped her back to the inner room to rest.

After Princess Zhenguo lay down, Hua Qianqian asked her what was wrong, but she ignored Hua Qianqian and only murmured repeatedly:

"How is this possible, how is this possible? He is so kind and upright, how could he be related to the Saints?!"

Hua Qianqian was afraid that she would be upset, so she hurriedly wrote a recipe to calm the panic and asked the maid to cook the medicine.

On the other side, Li Yuan had already ordered someone to take the man pretending to be Dr. Zhang for interrogation.

After Hua Qianqian had settled the Princess of Zhenguo, she walked out of the inner room and hurriedly said to Li Yuan:

"What should we do now? I don't know where Dr. Zhang has fled with his uncle. He has been exposed. Will it be detrimental to my uncle?"
