Half an hour ago, Wu Chao sent a message to her, saying that Qiao Bingying would be taken to the teahouse to hide tonight——
After hearing this, she came over before the curfew.
Qiao Bing should be rescued from the palace, especially if he was rescued at this time, there may be a lot of inside story involved...
This may have something to do with her grandfather, she must ask first.
Shouming led the way with a lantern to the back hall and led people into a secret room.
I don't know what the secret room was used for on a normal day, but it was well-furnished, with a bed and other items. At this time, a candle was burning in the room, and the pale yellow light filled the small space.
"girl."
In the room, Mr. Mo and Xiao Qi were both there. When the girl came in, they both stepped forward to salute.
"Sir." Xu Mingyi returned the courtesy without mentioning Mr. Mo's last name. He looked past Xiao Qi in the direction of the short couch.
"This person has just been settled." Mr. Mo also looked over and said, "Miss, you can sit here for a while while I go down and order someone to make a pot of tea."
This gave Xu Mingyi the opportunity to talk to the other party alone.
"Thank you sir."
Mr. Mo bowed and walked out with Xiao Qi and Shouming.
The door of the dark room was closed, and the room was extremely quiet for a while. The only thing that could be heard was the slightly heavy breathing of the person sitting on the couch.
Xu Mingyi walked over and stood still three to five steps away from the couch: "Doctor Qiao, what's wrong with you?"
While speaking, her eyes swept over the person sitting on the bed, and she noticed something strange at a glance - before, she only thought that the person was sitting cross-legged on the bed, but now it seems that this is not the case.
It turned out that the body was mutilated...
But she had never heard that Dr. Qiao was disabled before, and it was absolutely impossible for a person with a disability to enter the palace as an imperial physician.
Then, there is only one possibility - the opponent's legs should have been lost after being imprisoned by the emperor...
Xu Mingyi felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.
The more she learned, the more she felt that this dog emperor was not only unworthy of being a monarch, but also unworthy of being a human being and unworthy of living.
"...It's just some old ailments, it's okay." Qiao Bingying coughed twice, his lips a little pale. Over the years, he has already suffered from countless old ailments, and he has been hiding and bumping around day and night.
It's inevitable that I can't hold it any longer.
At this time, there was a knock on the darkroom door. Ah Zhu stepped forward to open the door and took the red lacquer tray containing tea from Shouming's hand.
Ah Zhu poured two cups of hot tea.
Xu Mingyi took one of the cups and handed it to Qiao Bingying: "Doctor Qiao, you might as well have a cup of hot tea first."
Leaving aside everything else for the time being, an old man who has experienced such a situation and whose actual age should not be comparable, but who looks older than her grandfather, will inevitably make people feel touched and intolerable.
"Thank you, girl..." Qiao Bingying took it with some confusion. He didn't know who the girl in front of him was, but he never thought that he, a person who had done all the wrong things, would be treated so politely.
The tea is warm, and the aroma that touches your teeth is unfamiliar and long-lost.
Just this sip of tea made his hands holding the teacup tremble slightly. It had been a long time since he had done anything like a human being.
"It was the girl who saved Qiao. I haven't asked her her name yet..." Qiao Bingying held the tea cup and raised his head to look at the girl sitting in the chair.
"It's not that I saved Doctor Qiao——" Xu Mingyi said: "My surname is Xu, and Duke Zhen Guo is my grandfather."
Qiao Bingying was quite surprised: "It turns out she is General Xu's granddaughter..."
Since he was a member of the Xu family and was the first to see him, even if he was not the one who directly rescued him, he was obviously someone who knew the inside story. He must have known about the affairs of his family!
"Miss Xu, does she know how my son and his mother are doing now?" Qiao Bingying's reddish eyes were full of anxiety and eagerness.
"Don't worry, everything is fine with Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao."
Seeing that the girl answered without thinking, Qiao Bing responded: "I'm worried that Tian'er's mother may have been poisoned... Just last night, the emperor suddenly asked someone to secretly take me to the Palace of Cultivation of the Heart..."
Since he is here at this time, he has to rely on others for everything, and they are not enemies in the true sense, so there is nothing to be clever enough to hide——
Therefore, Qiao Bingying told everything about the conversation he had with Emperor Qingming in the Yangxin Hall last night.
When Xu Mingyi heard this, a light gradually lit up in her heart.
Emperor Qingming challenged Dr. Qiao with the question, "Why did the poisoned person not die?" Does that mean that her grandfather's poison has been cured?
"...The emperor said that the same poison was used on my old wife, so he asked me to write a prescription for the antidote." Qiao Bingying continued: "I was afraid that the emperor wanted to test and prove something, so I put the most popular one among them.
The most important medicines have been replaced."
The emperor wants a prescription to detoxify?
Xu Mingyi's eyes flashed slightly and he hurriedly asked: "Doctor Qiao, can you replace the agarwood mushroom?"
Hearing this, Qiao Bingying looked at her and nodded: "Replaced with blood lotus."
That's good……
Xu Mingyi breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor would ask about the prescription, probably because he was suspicious of the imperial master's request for Linggao Zhi to make elixirs...
Now the Xu family no longer has the need to care about this dog emperor. No matter how suspicious he is, there is no need to pay attention to it. If he is driven crazy and angry by this suspicion, it will be strange to see it happen - but the Queen and the
The Imperial Preceptors are different. They are in the palace, and their life and death can even depend on the emperor's thoughts.
"Fortunately, Dr. Qiao was alert enough, otherwise this matter would have been troublesome."
There is a huge difference between suspicion and suspicion being confirmed - the former means that there is still room for self-rescue and that one will not immediately fall into an overly passive situation.
Qiao Bingying sighed vaguely: "I have a general understanding of the emperor's character, but I'm afraid that even if I write down a useful prescription, he won't use it to detoxify my old wife at home..."
Xu Mingyi agrees with this statement.
It can also be seen from this that when a person is dishonest to a certain extent, no one will easily believe his words even when he is cheating.
"Doctor Qiao, you can rest assured. I have been secretly protecting Mr. Qiao and his mother. Recently, I have not heard that Mrs. Qiao has come into contact with any unusual people or things. And according to what Dr. Qiao just said, the emperor summoned you to raise you in the middle of the night.
"Heart Hall, I guess that it must have been an act of anger and temptation out of anger not long after I learned the news that my grandfather had escaped from danger -"
She believed that the emperor must have lost his composure in the face of such sudden changes.
"Since it was a temporary move, and he had no ability to predict the future, how could he possibly poison Mrs. Qiao in advance? I think it was just because he was always suspicious and was afraid that Dr. Qiao would not write down the prescription truthfully, so he used this as a reason.
It’s just a bargaining chip for the truth.”
The girl spoke clearly and clearly, and Qiao Bingying felt much more at ease after listening to her words.
"Doctor Qiao doesn't have to worry too much about what's going to happen next. I, the Xu family, will guarantee the safety of Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao to the end."
Since Mr. Qiao chose to cooperate with her that day, even if there was no explicit agreement, she must do this most basic thing——
In addition, this statement at this time is indeed intended to win people's hearts.
She - Wu Chao to be precise. There is something extremely important that needs to be answered from Dr. Qiao.
