Chapter 228 Doctor Zhao's Test
After handing the medicine box to Yingyi, Doctor Zhao walked respectfully to An Qingqian.
"Miss An, please stretch out your wrist." Doctor Zhao said politely.
"Thank you for your help, Doctor Zhao."
The bed curtain was drawn, revealing a thin layer of gauze, and Doctor Zhao could only vaguely see An Qingqian's face.
Doctor Zhao placed his hand on An Qingqian's pulse and quickly withdrew his hand.
"Doctor Zhao, how is our young lady?" Bo Yun stared at the person on the bed with a worried look on his face.
"Miss An just caught a cold, and she was a little unhappy, so she had a fever and was tired. Wait for me to prescribe two doses of medicine for Miss An."
"Thank you so much, Doctor Zhao." An Qingqian nodded slightly.
Doctor Zhao looked inside through the bed curtain several times. He was sitting in front of the bed, very close to An Qingqian.
Even with the bed curtains covering her, one could still clearly see that An Qingqian's face was pale and she looked tired.
Doctor Zhao stood up and calmly looked at Yingyi and Boyun who were standing beside him serving An Qingqian.
Noticing that their fingers were normal and didn't look like they had any wounds, I had an idea.
"Doctor Zhao, I am not feeling well, so I cannot send Doctor Zhao out. Yingyi, Boyun, please send Doctor Zhao out for me."
"No need to bother you Miss An, I'll take my leave."
Yingyi cleverly stuffed a silver bag into the doctor's pocket and said, "Thank you for your help in finding the doctor. It's cold today, but you've made a special trip to the general's mansion to check our young lady's pulse."
"Miss, you are joking. The emperor heard that Miss An was unwell and was very worried, so he sent me here. The emperor is so gracious, Miss An should thank the emperor."
Doctor Zhao didn't want to accept the money, but he subconsciously weighed the silver bag and found that there was a lot of silver in it. He couldn't control his greed and thought that since he had made a trip here, it would be no big deal to accept some silver, so he didn't refuse.
"Don't worry, Imperial Physician. Our young lady understands everything." Yingyi smiled.
"By the way, young lady, the general is not in the mansion, so you must arrange for someone to protect Miss An's safety." Doctor Zhao said, leaning forward slightly and lowering his voice.
"I heard that recently the Marquis of Lin'an's Mansion has often sent people to hang around the gate of the General's Mansion. I'm afraid they have bad intentions."
"There is such a thing?" Yingyi pretended to be shocked and then whispered.
"Don't worry, Doctor Zhao. This maidservant and Bo Yun were assigned to the young lady by the general. Although we don't have top-notch martial arts, we will protect the young lady and will never let anyone with ulterior motives succeed."
"That's good, the two girls must protect Miss An. Also, just pretend I never said what I said just now. After all, I can't afford to offend the Marquis of Lin'an."
Doctor Zhao looked at Yingyi meaningfully.
"Please rest assured, Doctor Zhao, I know what to do. I didn't hear anything just now." Yingyi gave him an understanding look.
"That's great. I'll take my leave now." Seeing Yingyi so clever, Doctor Zhao nodded with a smile.
After sending the imperial physician away, Yingyi came back and reported the situation to An Qingqian in detail.
"Miss, just now, Doctor Zhao carefully observed the hands of me and Bo Yun, and then left the room and tested me to find out who the masters around you are. I then said that only I and Bo Yun are protecting you.
He pretended to be casual and observed the servant's hands before leaving.
"Hmph, it seems that the purpose of this Imperial Doctor Zhao's coming here today is mainly to confirm whether the person that night was from the General's Mansion."
An Qingqian wasn't surprised at all.
She guessed in her heart that the arrival of Imperial Doctor Zhao today was because Prince Dingyuan said something in front of the Emperor, or perhaps Imperial Doctor Zhao secretly accepted benefits from Prince Dingyuan.
Prince Dingyuan suspected everyone, but he must be worried that I didn't go to the palace banquet today.
So he asked Doctor Zhao to come and check on the situation for him.
In the eyes of outsiders, she doesn't know martial arts, but she has two maids with strong martial arts skills.
Therefore, the main purpose of the imperial physician today was to observe Yingyi and Boyun.
However, Yingyi and Boyun did nothing in the first place, so naturally they had no guilt feelings.
"Fortunately, the lady was well prepared." Bo Yun couldn't help but sigh at An Qingqian's foresight.
"I'm just taking precautions in advance." An Qingqian smiled faintly.
Just now, when An Qingqian learned that the imperial physician had come out of the palace and seemed to be heading towards the general's mansion, she asked Zeng Ren to give her an injection.
This injection can change An Qingqian's pulse in a short period of time, creating a false pulse that appears to be caused by a cold and weakness, but it will not cause any effect on An Qingqian's body.
Combined with what she put on her face and the gauze bed curtains, it would be strange if Doctor Zhao could see anything.
Moreover, An Qingqian could probably guess that Doctor Zhao's target was not her, but the two maids around her.
If Prince Dingyuan really suspected that the people there that night were from the General's Mansion, then he would definitely suspect Yingyi and Boyun.
Everything was going smoothly for An Qingqian, but King Dingyuan was always tense.
These past few days, he felt like he was going crazy. He couldn't find the thief that night, and for five consecutive days, there was not even a clue.
He did not bring many people with him when he returned to Beijing this time, and after two days of investigation, there were still no clues.
Prince Dingyuan then dispatched a group of people to observe the situation in the palace. After making sure that there was nothing unusual on the emperor's side for the time being, he relaxed a little.
King Dingyuan even wondered if the little thief had been poisoned to death. Otherwise, why had there been no news about him in the past two days?
Moreover, no news came from any major pharmacies in the capital.
He had someone buy that poison specially from a master from Miaojiang. Logically speaking, there wouldn't be many people in the entire capital who could antidote this poison.
According to Prince Dingyuan's understanding, apart from the two experienced old doctors in the palace, the only one left is probably the Wutong miracle doctor.
However, before this, he had already inquired and found out that the Divine Doctor Wutong had gone out traveling and was not in the capital.
However, in order to invite those two imperial physicians to come forward, one must have an extremely high status.
As far as Prince Dingyuan knew, the two imperial doctors almost exclusively treated and detoxified members of the royal family.
However, it is still difficult to investigate their whereabouts.
However, no matter how difficult it is, King Dingyuan must investigate this matter thoroughly.
Prince Dingyuan looked unhappy and sat in his seat drinking alone.
The emperor naturally noticed his situation at a glance.
"Prince Dingyuan, what's wrong with you? You look depressed." The emperor looked at Prince Dingyuan with a smile.
"In reply to the emperor, when I see that the princes are all so outstanding, I think of my good-for-nothing son." King Dingyuan said, and then he let out another long sigh.
