Chapter 75 Sensing the clues
"Miss Xi Er, this is a prescription to treat your symptoms. According to my calculations, after taking this prescription, you will be cured in two hours."
The doctor from the Divine Medical Pavilion handed the prescription to Xi Chuyu.
"Seriously? Give it to me quickly!"
As soon as Xi Chuyu heard that the people at the Divine Medical Pavilion had a cure for his illness, he suddenly became much happier.
She stretched out her hand to take the order, but the doctor from the Divine Medical Pavilion bypassed Xi Chuyu's hand.
"Miss Xi Er, although my prescription can cure your disease, Miss Xi, you haven't paid my consultation fee yet."
When Xi Chuyu heard what the doctor from the Divine Medical Pavilion said, his eyebrows froze and he spoke impatiently.
"Who do you think I, Xi Chuyu, am? It's just a consultation fee, and you really think I can't afford it? Let me tell you, you'd better go to Kyoto and find out!"
"The consultation fee is two thousand taels, and there will be no credit."
The doctor at the Divine Medical Pavilion couldn't take Xi Chuyu's anger into consideration at all. The doctor directly interrupted Xi Chuyu and told him the medical fee for this visit.
"Two thousand taels?! Are you, the Divine Doctor Pavilion, trying to steal money?"
Xi Chuyu originally thought that the consultation fee this time would only be a hundred taels at most. What she never expected was that she would be charged two thousand taels just for taking a pulse!
"This is Kyoto, not a place where you, the Divine Doctor Pavilion, cover the sky with your hands! Today, I just saw the best doctor in Kyoto for consultation. He only accepted a few dozen taels for consultation. How dare you ask for a hundred times the price?
!」
Xi Chuyu never wanted to be bullied, and she was always the one bullying others. When did she get bullied like this?
"Second Miss, the reason why the Miracle Medical Pavilion charges you so much for consultation is of course our reason! Second Miss compared our Miraculous Medical Pavilion with the best doctor in Kyoto, so can the best doctor in Kyoto cure you?"
The medicine in the Valley of Miracle Doctors cannot be solved by anyone except themselves.
Therefore, the doctors at the Divine Medical Pavilion were confident that it would be impossible for Xi Chuyu to diagnose her symptoms at a glance without them.
"...!!"
Xi Chuyu was so choked by the words of the doctor from the Divine Medical Pavilion that she could not speak.
Indeed, the doctor she found in Kyoto could not cure her, so in the end, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and buy the pills from the Miracle Medical Pavilion.
In this way, Xi Chuyu returned to the Office of the Minister of Rites, full of anger.
Inside the Peony Garden.
The medicinal powder on Xi Chuyu's body gradually faded away, and after two hours, she completely recovered.
However, today's encounter made Xi Chuyu very unhappy.
"If you dare to spread the word about what happened to me today, I will definitely make you live and die!"
When Xi Chuyu thought of today's predicament, she directly threatened the servants in the courtyard.
"Yes, Miss Second!"
The servants had long expected that Xi Chuyu would be like this, and had been waiting cautiously. However, Xi Chuyu had forgotten that when her mouth and eyes were crooked today, she was sent to the Divine Doctor Pavilion from the Shangshu Mansion in a hurry.
This incident was witnessed by many people, and now, her predicament of distorted speech and eyes has been widely circulated.
"Second...Second Miss, actually, we servants will definitely not spread this matter to outsiders, but...but I have seen two strange figures in the Peony Garden!"
Some of the servants had seen Xi Xiaochen and Su Xiaomo. Although they were both children, if the news about Xi Chuyu falling into the manure pit spread through their mouths, it would still be servants like them who would suffer.
"Two strange figures?"
"Yes, they are a pair of little babies. They look like they are only a few years old. When Second Miss you fell into... the manure pit, we were in a hurry to save people, so we didn't stop them..."
"As for the baby, he is the young prince of His Highness Prince Li." Xi Chuyu immediately understood the origin of the little guy, but she had greater doubts in her heart. "The young prince and this young lady had a huge quarrel in Hanlianyuan.
,Why did they find Peony Garden?"
Xi Chuyu suddenly felt filled with
Full of doubts.
"Second Miss, this servant... I looked at the two young princes who left after they saw you, Second Miss, fall into the manure pit. From this, it seems that they came to our Peony Garden and wanted to see you, Second Miss, with their own eyes."
Looking embarrassed?"
The slave thought for a while and expressed the doubts in her mind.
"The second young lady just said that you and the two young princes are having a huge quarrel. In this case, there is no reason for them to come to Peony Garden to visit the young lady and his wife, right?"
The slave replied timidly.
Miss Xi Er usually beat and scolded those who served her closely. In order to prevent herself from being beaten, the servant tried hard to distance herself from Xi Chuyu's humiliation today.
"Actually, I think it's very strange that Miss Second Miss suddenly felt unwell today. We have carefully served you every day, Miss Second Miss, and there has never been any negligence. However, Miss Second Miss, you suddenly felt unwell today.
The only explanation for feeling unwell is that, Miss Er, you were tampered with when you went to Hanlian Garden."
In the Peony Garden, other slaves saw someone blaming today's events on Hanlianyuan, so they didn't say anything and followed suit by beating drums.
"Second Miss, according to my opinion, you are very likely to have been poisoned by the eldest lady's people!"
"I am afraid that the person who poisoned me was not the *** Xi Qingyan, but the young prince of His Highness Prince Li. I just have a little doubt as to why the young prince would use such methods that only doctors can do..."
Xi Chuyu felt that as long as she could find out the truth behind the doubts piling up in her mind, everything would be perfectly explained.
"It is very unreasonable for the young prince to know medical skills. After all, Prince Li's palace is also a royal family. How could anyone in the royal family let the young prince learn such inferior medical skills?"
The more Xi Chuyu thought about it, the closer he felt that he was getting closer to the truth.
"If the young prince is not supposed to have medical skills, then the only explanation is that someone specially taught him the medical skills!"
Xi Chuyu walked around the Peony Garden, thinking about the causes and consequences of today's events.
"Daughter, in my opinion, the only person who dares to teach the young prince medical skills is Xi Qingyan! You deliberately humiliated Xi Qingyan in Hanlian Garden today. Didn't the young prince defend Xi Qingyan in every possible way?
"
Mrs. Shangshu also felt that there were many strange things about this matter.
"Prince Li was not happy with Xi Qingyan at all in the past, but this time he would openly defend Xi Qingyan in front of everyone. My daughter, I find this thing very strange no matter how I think about it!"
When Xi Chuyu heard her mother's words, she had a hypothesis in her mind that she had never dared to think about.
"Mother, although this matter seems very strange to us, if we assume that Xi Qingyan is not the Xi Qingyan we saw, then everything has a reasonable explanation!"
"Of course it is impossible for Xi Qingyan, an ugly creature, to win the favor and appreciation of His Highness Prince Li. His Highness Prince Li did not take her seriously in the past. Now, he should also look down on her."
"Now that something is going out of the ordinary, the only explanation is that Xi Qingyan is the owner of the Divine Doctor Valley!"
Xi Chuyu finally found the answer she had been looking for, and her whole body suddenly became enlightened.
"The young prince is Xi Qingyan's son, and his medical skills were taught by Xi Qingyan! I feel unwell today, and only the people from the Divine Medical Pavilion can cure me. This is obviously Xi Qingyan's fault!"
Xi Chuyu couldn't help but excitedly thought of everything before and after, and then spoke excitedly to the mother in front of her.
"No, mother, I want to tell my father about this. How dare Xi Qingyan play this trick in the Mansion of the Minister of Rites!"
Xi Chuyu thought she had caught Xi Qingyan's hand, and was so excited that she went to file a complaint regardless of her body.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shangshu directly grabbed her daughter.
"Don't go, Chu Yu, are you confused?"
"What tangible evidence do you have now to prove that Xi Qingyan is the master of the Divine Medical Valley? Taking a step back, if your father really knew that Xi Qingyan was the master of the Divine Medical Valley, what would this really mean to you?
yes
Is it a good thing?"
Mrs. Shangshu felt that her daughter was really too irritable, so she had no choice but to scold her.
"Your father has always wanted to make the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion prosperous. Now, if Xi Qingyan is really the world-famous master of the Miracle Doctor Valley as you said, do you think you will continue to be the second-in-command of the Minister of Rites Minister Mansion?
Miss?"
"The reason why your father has always doted on you is just because he saw that you are pretty. Now, you actually want to praise Xi Qingyan as a unique and powerful person in front of your father. By then, you are afraid that
We will lose our father directly! And the life of mother and daughter in Shangshu Mansion will become more and more difficult!"
Xi Chuyu was stunned by what Mrs. Shangshu said, but Xi Chuyu was not willing to do anything after discovering Xi Qingyan's identity.
"Mother, do you know that if Xi Qingyan is really the master of the Miracle Medical Valley, then most of the inexplicable injuries I suffered in the past were caused by Xi Qingyan! Mother, I am your biological child, do you want me?
Have you been swallowing your anger?"
Xi Chuyu was unwilling to give in and complained to Mrs. Shangshu.
"Mother, think about it, ever since Xi Qingyan returned to the Office of the Minister of Rites, your daughter's reputation has plummeted in Kyoto!"
"Mother, do you know that if this continues, let alone the royal family, they won't look at me seriously, I'm afraid even the ordinary noble families in Kyoto won't take me seriously!"
"If your daughter's reputation in Kyoto is completely ruined, mother, then won't we have a good life in the Minister of Rites' Mansion?"
Xi Chuyu vomited bitterly.
"What can Xi Qingyan do even if she is the Valley Master of the Divine Doctor Valley? I could bully her in the past, and I can also control her in the future! Mother, what are you afraid of? The mother I know has never done anything like this.
I am afraid of my hands and my feet!"
"This is not to be timid! Xi Chuyu, do you know that we, mother and daughter, don't have many chips left in our hands now?"
Mrs. Shangshu seriously corrected Xi Chuyu's words.
"If it were in the past, of course I could let you give it a try, but now we in the Minister of Rites' Mansion are already stretched thin!"
"Daughter, your father used to be kind to us, but now he is tired of us. If you rush to your father to expose this matter, we will definitely be the ones who suffer!"
Mrs. Shangshu was surprised by Xi Qingyan's hidden side, and even more surprised by her daughter's innocence.
"Xi Chuyu, Xi Qingyan is no longer the Xi Qingyan we knew before. If there is no complete way, Xi Qingyan will definitely defeat us! The lessons you have received these days are not enough to make you understand what I just said
Do you mean what you said?"
"But...but mother, is it possible for us to let Xi Qingyan ride on our heads freely?"
