Inside the house, when Luo Jiuli heard Mo Han say that there was someone outside the door asking to see him, he hurriedly pushed away the man pressing on him and straightened his messy clothes.
Xiao Mingxuan's eyes wanted to kill Mo Han, but he finally got the right time, place, and people, but something unexpected happened again.
Finally, after a long time, after regaining some of his composure, he straightened his clothes, got out of bed, and said in a deep voice.
"Who wants to see you?"
When Mo Han heard his master's gloomy voice, he chewed his toothbrush seeds outside the window and secretly wiped his sweat.
"Master, Second Young Lady, it was Doctor Jin who came to see me. When my subordinates asked, he didn't tell me. He only said that Second Young Lady knew it was him and would drop everything to receive him."
When Luo Jiuli heard this, his face changed almost instantly and he got out of bed in a panic.
"Quick, bring someone here."
"No, no, let him wait, I'll go right away."
Outside the house, not to mention Mo Han and Nan Xing, Nan Zhu didn't know why.
Even Xiao Mingxuan in the room was stunned.
"what happened?"
Xiao Mingxuan took her arm.
That Doctor Jin has never appeared since last time. How come he found the Nine Princes Mansion so late at night?
Luo Jiuli didn't have time to explain to him.
"It's Qiaoyue, something happened to Qiaoyue."
"Qiaoyue?"
Xiao Mingxuan thought for a long time before he remembered that Qiao Yue was the palace maid who was instigated by Luo Jiuli.
Entering the front hall of the second hospital, Doctor Jin paced back and forth anxiously.
Finally I heard footsteps and rushed out to greet them.
"The common people have come to see the Ninth Prince and the Second Young Lady."
"Stop saluting, where are you?"
Doctor Jin hurriedly said:
"At the hospital, when I brought it back, it was covered in blood."
Luo Jiuli breathed a sigh of relief, then tensed up his nerves.
"Are you awake?"
Doctor Jin shook his head.
"The grass-roots gave her the antidote, but she still hasn't woken up. Didn't the second lady say that no matter whether she wakes up or not, she must come over and report it immediately? The grass-roots didn't dare to delay, so she came over overnight."
"Well, you did a good job, thank you for your hard work."
Perhaps only two people can understand what they say.
The rest of the others were confused.
At this time, Mo Han had also prepared the carriage at the back door.
"Your Majesty, Miss Second, the carriage is ready."
"Go quickly."
The group of people got on the carriage and went straight to the hospital.
When we arrived at the door of the hospital, it was pitch dark inside and outside.
"Your Majesty, Miss Second, wait a moment."
Dr. Jin hunched over and walked to the door. He carefully knocked on the door with two short strokes and one long stroke.
After a while, the door panel was opened from the inside.
"Your Majesty, Second Miss, please."
Doctor Jin made a gesture of invitation.
Nan Xing got in first, followed by Xiao Mingxuan and Luo Jiuli, and finally Nan Zhu and Doctor Jin.
As for Mo Han and Qin Yin, they were all hiding outside the medical center and monitoring the surrounding area.
Several people entered the store, and the door was closed again with a dark light.
Only after the door panel was closed did the people in the room dare to light the oil lamp.
When the oil lamp turned on, Luo Jiuli and Xiao Mingxuan saw clearly that the two people in the room were an old woman and a half-year-old boy.
"Your Majesty, Second Young Lady, this is Cao Min's wife, and this is Cao Min's young disciple."
"Ying Niang, Hu Zhan, quickly pay your respects to the prince and the second young lady."
Doctor Jin waved to the two people.
When the old man and the young man came forward, they knelt down.
"no."
Xiao Mingxuan waved his hand.
Na Yingniang and Huzhan were obviously a little afraid of Xiao Mingxuan, so they lowered their heads and moved back.
Xiao Mingxuan said nothing and glanced at Luo Jiuli.
Luo Jiuli nodded slightly.
"At this time, the formal etiquette is no longer necessary. Where is the person? In the house?"
Na Yingniang felt a little relieved when she heard Luo Jiuli's soft voice, not as domineering as those noble ladies.
"Ask the second lady, he is in the house."
"Well, let's go in and take a look."
With that said, he and Xiao Mingxuan entered the back room one after another.
On the bed in the back room, Qiao Yue was lying on her stomach, unconscious. Xiao Mingxuan understood what was going on after just one look.
"She was beaten with a cane."
"It seems that the Queen Mother discovered it."
"My lord, please step aside for now, and I'll take a look at her wounds."
Luo Jiuli opened the medicine box.
"Um."
Xiao Mingxuan turned around neatly, opened the curtain and walked out.
——
Outside the house, Ying Niang and the young apprentice named Hu Zhan disappeared somewhere.
Xiao Mingxuan sat on a narrow chair and glanced at Doctor Jin.
Doctor Jin met his eyes lightly, lowered his head hurriedly, and turned around to go somewhere else.
Xiao Mingxuan was confused, what was the old doctor guilty of?
Also, why is Qiaoyue here?
"stop."
His voice was very soft, but it was like two iron stones that severely blocked Doctor Jin's steps, preventing him from taking a step forward or back.
Doctor Jin lowered his head, turned his back to him and closed his eyes. Then he slowly turned around, but still lowered his head.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Xiao Mingxuan didn't speak, just stared at him with his eyes.
Doctor Jin could feel the Ninth Prince's gaze like nails, constantly piercing his body.
The majesty of the royal family and the status of the Nine Kings made his heart beat like a drum.
Xiao Mingxuan looked at his complexion, his eyes darkened, and his voice became even colder.
"What's going on? Tell me from beginning to end."
"Remember, don't miss a word. I want to listen to the truth. If you dare to hide it, you should know my methods."
Every word he said seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, hitting Doctor Jin's heart one after another.
That kind of coercive momentum made Doctor Jin's legs weak.
"Going back to your lord, we have to start with asking the common people to treat Miss Qiaoyue..."
How could Doctor Jin dare to hide anything? He told the truth one by one.
Until he finished speaking, he didn't dare to look up.
It just feels like the air around me seems to be eerily quiet, and this silence is depressing and uncomfortable.
"My lord, your lord, this is what happened. The second lady gave Miss Qiao Yue a pill to fake death. If Miss Qiao Yue encounters life danger in the palace, if she takes the medicine, she will be poisoned and fake death."
"And the antidote is in the hands of ordinary people."
"Also since she left the palace that day, the second lady asked the common people to keep a distance from the Ninth Prince's Palace and the Duke's Palace, and not to appear in front of her."
"And let the common people arrange for their confidants to guard the corner gate outside the palace day and night, just to save Miss Qiao Yue's life."
As for why Miss Luo Er wanted to send Miss Qiao Yue to the palace, there were some things that he knew how to measure, so naturally he didn't dare to speculate, let alone talk about it.
Xiao Mingxuan was surprised that Luo Jiuli would leave the last step for Qiao Yue to survive.
In his understanding, whether they are secret guards or agents, they only serve the master, and the master has no obligation to plan for their future or lives.
Those who are capable will escape from disaster.
Those with weak abilities will die because their skills are inferior to others.
As for why Luo Jiuli didn't tell him about this, he could understand.
