When Zhou Xing said this, he suddenly felt that his guess was too biased.
So, he added another sentence at the end:
"Or perhaps that Dr. Li, when diagnosing the illness of the woman in the cold palace, diagnosed an extremely severe infectious disease."
"And everyone in the palace was afraid that the evil disease would spread in that Dr. Li, so they killed him to avoid future troubles?"
But as soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, the eunuch named Xiaoer took advantage of the situation and continued:
"Director Zhou, I think it's unlikely."
"Think about it, if Imperial Physician Li was really infected with an incurable disease by the woman in the cold palace, how could the guards in the palace dare to come forward to carry his body?"
"Nine times out of ten, the body would have been wrapped tightly in a cloth bag and carried directly to the fire site to be burned."
"But at that time, this scene did not happen. Instead, according to Xiao Wu's words, he was carried out of the palace by some guards."
"So I think Director Zhou's guess is impossible to establish."
With a solemn expression, Zhou Xing picked up his wine bowl from the coffee table in front of him.
While drinking, he bit his lips and muttered to himself:
"So, there is only one possibility for Dr. Li to be killed."
"That is, when he was treating the woman in the cold palace, he saw some things that were inconvenient for outsiders to tell, so he was caught and silenced by the person who had the intention."
"But at this point, the next question comes up."
"That is, what kind of secret is it that forces the person behind the scenes to silence Dr. Li?"
Speaking of the three people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they are quite boring in their free time.
What I do most often and what I am most willing to do is to ponder over and over again all kinds of interesting stories in the palace.
It's not that the three of them have such a dedicated research spirit, it's just to pass the boring time in the palace.
This can be regarded as a kind of conversation material after dinner.
That's why the three of them seemed so patient and focused when talking about other people's affairs.
I don’t know if it was because Xiao Wu deliberately wanted to show his face in front of his superior boss.
After he picked up the wine bowl in front of him and drank half a mouthful of rice wine, he suddenly said something else rather eagerly:
"Director Zhou, actually on the night when Imperial Physician Li was carried out of the palace, something strange happened in the palace."
"Of course, I was not the one who witnessed this strange thing, but one of my night watch friends told me about it that night."
"That is, at almost midnight that day, the officials suddenly found Eunuch Sheng."
"Then he was asked to leave the palace and the Privy Councilor Tong Guan was called into the palace."
"You must know that before this, officials had never had the habit of announcing to foreign ministers at that time."
"But that day, something like this suddenly happened."
"I don't know if this incident is related to the death of Dr. Li."
At this time, Zhou Xing has been using his right hand to spin the chopsticks in his hand.
The five fingers of his other hand were tapping the table very rhythmically.
Xiao Er and Xiao Wu have been following Zhou Xing for a long time, so they have a thorough understanding of his various habits.
When I saw his expression at this time, I immediately understood that he was thinking about the problem in his mind.
As a result, they all stopped talking and just looked at their boss with expectant eyes.
I hope I can get some new clues about this matter from his mouth.
After a long time, Zhou Xing said to himself:
"Prior to this, Imperial Physician Li had been doing well, but since he diagnosed the woman in the cold palace, he died for no reason."
"If you say that the death of Dr. Li has nothing to do with the woman in the cold palace, no one will believe it."
"And that day, when I was bargaining with the woman in the cold palace for silver, I also saw some abnormal behaviors from that woman that other women did not have."
"Retching for no reason is one, and frequent trembling of the limbs is another."
"As for the hand she always covers her stomach with, it should also count."
"Actually, at that time, I was very confused about the various physical manifestations of that woman."
"But what will happen to that woman in the future had nothing to do with me at the time, so I didn't think too much about it."
"But now it seems that her body movements and expressions are really a huge clue."
When Zhou Xing said this, he smiled calmly.
In his eyes, there are even brighter eyes flashing with wisdom.
But Zhou Xing's smile made the waiters sitting opposite him and Xiao Wu extremely anxious.
Because the two of them are still waiting for Zhou Xing's analysis results.
But Zhou Xing, after he was halfway through his words, deliberately pretended to be mysterious.
This immediately piqued the curiosity of the two eunuchs, Xiaoer and Xiaowu.
He felt anxious and quickly urged:
"Director Zhou, if you have anything to say, just tell us directly. We are also close confidants of Director Zhou, so we will definitely not talk nonsense to others."
"You are half-talking and half-hiding, which really makes the two of us extremely uncomfortable."
At this moment, Zhou Xing couldn't help but feel even more proud when he saw the expectant expressions on Xiao Er and Xiao Wu's faces.
"The only reason for this is that the time you two served as servants in the palace was too short."
"I don't understand many things in the palace."
"As the two of you have stayed in the palace for a long time, you only need to say the first half of what I said, and you will be able to guess the result immediately."
"Okay, okay, I won't hold back on you anymore, I'll just tell you two."
"Before I came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs as an official in charge, I also served as a personal eunuch for a period of time for a very favored concubine."
"The concubine's body movements and demeanor when she gave birth to a dragon seed are no different from that of the woman in the cold palace."
"When I say this, you two should understand, right?"
As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, Xiao Er and Xiao Wu, who were sitting opposite, immediately exclaimed with excitement:
"I know, of course I know!"
"How can you still not understand such a simple truth?"
But after the two of them yelled this loudly, they unanimously glanced anxiously in the direction of the door and window.
After seeing no one at the door or window.
The two of them felt relieved and turned their attention to Zhou Xing again.
