548 The Truth

It seems easy to say this from her mouth, but it is very difficult to actually implement it to that point.

If a person who has lost his legs wants to stand up, he must make a pair of prosthetic limbs that suit him. The prosthetic limbs are not the most difficult, but the difficulty is the acceptance cavity. At present, there is no material suitable for the acceptance cavity in the small medicine box.

But after Xiao Heng visited Empress Dowager Zhuang, he left the palace directly. He did not return to Bishui Hutong, but went to the clinic first.

It was already night, and the smell of food came out of the clinic. The school next door had not yet started, and it was still deserted. In other words, the clinic business was good and people were coming and going.

Xiao Heng entered the lobby and asked the second boss behind the counter, "Is Mr. Xing still here?"

"It's here, it's here." The second boss said that he already knew that Lord Xing was actually the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Justice, and he suddenly realized that the hospital was full of glory.

Xiao Heng is not a doctor and does not understand the treatment process very well, so he doesn't think there is anything strange about the Minister of Justice who is still here.

He went up the second floor and met Shangshu Xing and Doctor Song in the innermost wing room.

Shangshu Xing's arm had long been restored to him by Doctor Song. The reason why he had not left at this time was that Doctor Song discovered other problems in him.

Dr. Song carefully took his pulse and prescribed a prescription, and asked him if he wanted to take it back and decoct it himself or boil it into pills. The latter was more expensive but was easy to deal with.

Since Shangshu Xing’s family is not short of this amount of money, he let the medicine boy cook it.

"Is it serious?" Xiao Heng asked Dr. Song after understanding the situation.

Doctor Song said seriously: "I discovered the problem of drinking it early, so there is no big problem. Pay more attention to your diet in the future, take a walk more, and eat more, and the most important thing is."

Speaking of this, he looked at Shangshu Xing with great seriousness, "You should avoid drinking."

Shangshu Xing cleared his throat in embarrassment: "Can you not drink a drop?"

He has such a little hobby.

"No drop can't be!" Doctor Song said without any refutation.

"Oh." Shangshusheng Xing sighed desperately, "I have been drinking for half a lifetime, and suddenly I don't let a drop of it. Isn't it too cruel?"

Xiao Heng advised: "Doctor Song is also for the sake of the adults."

Shangshu Xing waved his hand dejectedly: "Oh, okay, if you don't drink it, don't drink it."

Dr. Song looked at him and said, "Don't say you don't drink it. When you go back, you'll drink it secretly. I'll know if you drink it or not next time you come to take your pulse."

This is Gu Jiao’s catchphrase. I will know whether you do it or not.

The doctors in the clinic have learned it and it works very well for patients.

Shangshu Xing choked and thought to himself, would I not come to your clinic next time?

Doctor Song saw that Xiao Heng had something to say to Shangshu Xing, and after giving all the precautions, he said, "I'll go and see how the pills are?" and turned around and went downstairs.

Shangshu Xing pointed to the table opposite: "Liulang, pour me some water."

Xiao Heng poured a cup of hot tea for Shangshu Xing, and Shangshu Xing drank a big cup in one breath: "Another, another cup!"

After drinking three cups in total, Shangshu Xing felt that his throat was not so smokey.

"Are I talking or he talking?"

Shangshu Xing thought that he had been nagging for an afternoon and his head was full of pain.

Xiao Heng didn't answer this.

Shangshu Xing shook his head, put Doctor Song behind his head, and talked to Xiao Heng about the serious matter: "You have just gone out, but have you found out what happened?"

"The courtesan of Xianleju is not dead." Xiao Heng had already thought about what information he could say and what information he could not say on the way.

Shangshu Xing was shocked: "What? The girl named Mo Qianxue is not dead? Then why do they say it..."

Xiao Heng speculated: "The maids in Xianleju must have admitted their mistakes. As for Hua Xiyao's accidental act," he said.

Shangshu Xing frowned: "Does it intentionally? So they... are in the same group?"

Xiao Heng: "Yes."

Shangshu Xing slapped his thigh: "I just said there is something wrong with Xianleju! What is the purpose of them playing this drama together?"

Deal with me, deal with Gu Jiao.

This bureau was set for him and Gu Jiao. The mastermind behind the scenes may be Xianleju, or there may be other forces.

Xiao Heng has not told Xing Shangshu these words for the time being.

Shangshu Xing asked, "Where is that flower courtesan?"

Xiao Heng said: "In the clinic."

"Docian!" Xing Shangshu lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "Which room?"

Xiao Heng said: "In a wing room in the backyard, she was seriously injured and picked up by the doctor in the clinic. She is an important witness, so we should not alert the snake for the time being."

Xing Shangshu was puzzled and said, "Why were picked up by people from the clinic? Did she do it on purpose? Is there anything strange about this clinic?"

He is worthy of being a person from the Ministry of Justice. His logical reasoning is too strong. However, Mo Qianxue came for Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng did not intend to tell him that it was not that he could not trust Xing Shangshu's character, but that the time had not come.

Now is definitely not the best time to investigate Mo Qianxue.

Xiao Heng said without changing his face: "The clinic itself is not strange, but this clinic is too famous. Even Shangshu Xing, you are here. Other nobles will come if they have headaches and fevers. Maybe she is guarding someone here."

Shangshu Xing thoughtfully said: "It makes sense for you to say this, or maybe she simply wanted to pretend to die and conceal her identity so that she could act in secret. After all, who would suspect a dead person? Then I wonder if the owner of Xianleju died or not? If he is not dead, where is he? If he dies, who are they doing things for?"

There is also a young resident, Xiao Heng thought to himself.

Xiao Heng said: "My wife is also from this clinic. I will tell her back and ask her to send someone to keep an eye on Mo Qianxue. As long as we stare at her, we will always find clues."

Shangshu Xing thought for a while and said, "Okay, let your wife be careful, Mo Qianxue is skilled."

Xiao Heng nodded: "I know."

Shangshu Xing asked again: "Does anyone know these things besides you?"

"The Queen Mother."

In the bedroom of Renshou Palace, Eunuch Qin called out softly to Empress Dowager Zhuang who was sitting by the window.

Empress Dowager Zhuang came to her senses and gently pinched the two candied fruits on the plate: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Jingkong is a good at complaining. If Empress Dowager Zhuang steals food, he is always the first to go to Gu Jiao to complain.

However, the little guy also felt the depressed mood of Queen Mother Zhuang and secretly gave her two candied fruits.

Eunuch Qin said, "It's nothing. Before leaving, Miss Gu asked Lao Nu to make some ginseng soup for you. The ginseng soup is ready. I'll present it to you?"

"Take it up." Empress Dowager Zhuang said calmly.

Eunuch Qin turned around, picked up ginseng soup from the tray that the young eunuch was carrying, and walked over and gently placed it on the table of Queen Mother Zhuang.

Queen Mother Zhuang did not move.

Eunuch Qin smiled and said, "It's not hot anymore, drink it while it's hot, it'll be cold later."

Empress Dowager Zhuang lazily picked up the ginseng soup and took a sip.

Eunuch Qin said embarrassedly: "Miss Gu told me that it would be a bit bad if it was a little salt?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang hummed, "Hmph, I have never eaten the food made by Liulang, so I am not qualified to say it is unpalatable."

Eunuch Qin: “Uh…”

But to be honest, it is indeed quite difficult to drink. If it weren't for Xiao Heng's cooking skills, Empress Dowager Zhuang wouldn't have been able to drink it.

Seeing that although Empress Dowager Zhuang was disgusted, she still gritted her teeth and finished drinking. Eunuch Qin showed a smile from the bottom of her heart.

Sure enough, no matter how edible or savory the food is, as long as it is said that it is Miss Gu's instructions, the Empress Dowager will accept it as a letter.

"When Ning'an was a child, were you here too?" Empress Dowager Zhuang suddenly spoke.

Eunuch Qin didn't know why the topic turned to Princess Ning'an. He was stunned and replied, "Hey, I'm here. When the Empress Dowager entered the palace, I came to serve you. Princess Ning'an was born in a few years."

Queen Mother Zhuang looked at the crabapple tree scattered outside the window and said, "Do you still remember Ning'an's temperament when he was a child?"

"Remember, remember!" Eunuch Qin said with a close eye, "Sweet-mouthed, lively, active, and always can't calm down. If it weren't for this, how could you bump into your phoenix chassis in the Imperial Garden?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang said disrespectfully: "Concubine Jing's plan is just that. How could she have hit the Ai family's phoenix? It's a pity that the Ai family was young at that time, and did not understand the dangers of the deep palace, so she mistakenly treated the villain as a confidant."

Eunuch Qin asked with a look of expression: "Does the Empress Dowager regret it?"

Queen Mother Zhuang clicked the table, and Eunuch Qin poured a cup of hot tea with sharp eyes. Queen Mother Zhuang picked up the cup: "What do you regret? I regret making friends with Concubine Jing, or I regret treating her two children kindly?"

Your Majesty is not the flesh and blood of Concubine Jing, but since it is recorded in the name of Concubine Jing, it is indeed the child of Concubine Jing.

Queen Mother Zhuang continued: "There is nothing to regret. The emperor and Ning'an were indeed a pity when they were young. The Ai family lost their son. Thanks to them, the Ai family came out of the shadow. It was not so much that it was Concubine Jing's plan, but it was better to say that they each took their needs."

"Then now..." What do you mean by this? Eunuch Qin is a little confused about what Queen Mother Zhuang sang, and always feels something strange.

First, Princess Ning'an was weird, but now the Queen Mother is weird too.

Empress Dowager Zhuang took a sip of tea and said, "Ning'an is a paper tiger. She relies on her Ai family to support her. She is not afraid of the sky or the earth. In fact, she is very timid, afraid of darkness and thunder, and afraid of pain and death."

When talking about this, Eunuch Qin seemed to see Xiao Ning'an crying in front of him. He smiled and said, "Princess Ning'an must light a lamp when sleeping, and this habit is the same as Your Majesty."

Both brothers and sisters are afraid of the dark.

Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at Xiaojiu, who was sweeping the snow with her wings on the crabapple tree, and said, "But one night, she suddenly became less afraid. The Ai family remembered it very clearly. When the Ai family was sent to the cold palace by the late emperor, you were punished to go to the dungeon to do hard labor and not be with the Ai family. The Ai family had been sick for a few days, and that night, the thunderstorm broke out, and Ning An actually came to the cold palace to see the Ai family alone."

"There is still this?" Eunuch Qin was surprised.
