Drunk Bamboo

"Qi Zhen is finally here!" Xie Yuzhu excitedly went out to greet him in person.

Hua Qinfeng followed closely with a dark face.

He disliked Qi Zhen extremely.

Just seeing Qi Zhen's smiling face staring at Xie Yuzhu made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Moreover, Qi Zhen's expertise in medicine was something he couldn't do, but was what Xie Yuzhu was passionate about.

Hua Qinfeng couldn't get a word in on the topic they were talking about.

But he had promised Xie Yuzhu that he would not stop her from doing what she liked, so naturally he could not stop her from contacting Qi Zhen.

"I've been waiting for you for a few days. Why did you come just now?"

"Princess, I..." Qi Zhen looked haggard and thinner. He looked left and right at the door, feeling very guilty. Sweat was coming out of his forehead, and his fingers trembled as he reached into his sleeves.

Xie Yuzhu asked him to draw the lock of the library in the Shang Pharmacy. He was worried all day long. He finally waited until Gao Fengyu was on leave and the medical officers were taking a lunch break, and then he secretly drew the pattern of the lock as it was.

He immediately asked for half a day off from the palace and sent the item to Prince Feng's mansion, as he was afraid that the item would be like a hot potato in his hands.

It is better to hand it over early so that he can sleep peacefully.

Suddenly seeing Hua Qinfeng behind Xie Yuzhu, Qi Zhen was so scared that his hands were shaking, and then he stuffed the half-protruding paper back into his sleeve.

"I've met the prince!"

"I heard that Doctor Qi is here to see the princess. What's the matter?" Hua Qinfeng asked coldly.

"Your subordinate...your subordinate..." His legs trembled uncontrollably.

If the prince knew that he had done something sneaky, would he strike him down with a palm? !

"Why are you sweating so much? Is it too hot outside and you have heatstroke?" Xie Yuzhu saw the sweat on his forehead, unable to speak clearly. She looked worried and enthusiastically tried to wipe the sweat off his face with a handkerchief.

Qi Zhen dodged subconsciously.

It was this action that saved his life.

Hua Qinfeng stopped in front of Xie Yuzhu without leaving a trace, and pulled Qi Zhen into the palace: "Come in and have a cup of herbal tea to cool down."

“No… need… anymore…”

"You're welcome. Let's go inside and talk slowly." Xie Yuzhu said with a smile.

In the hall, Yunling brought out some iced sour plum soup. Qi Zhen held the bowl but didn't dare to take a sip.

Hua Qinfeng sat in the upper seat with an expressionless face, while Xie Yuzhu looked at Qi Zhen with expectation.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He was determined to hand over the blueprint, but he forgot that there was a Wind King in the mansion. What should he do? Should he hand over the blueprint?

"Did you bring the drawings?" Xie Yuzhu asked directly.

"What drawings? What is the princess talking about?" He glanced at Hua Qinfeng out of the corner of his eye and pretended to be ignorant.

"The drawings of the locks for the Shangshu Bureau's library. Didn't you come to me to give me the drawings?" Xie Yuzhu asked in confusion.

Why is Qi Zhen so scared when he sees Hua Qinfeng?

Even my brain is confused.

"Shangshu Bureau? The lock of the library? Doctor Qi, are you stealing?" Hua Qinfeng didn't know what Xie Yuzhu was going to do, but these few words were thrilling enough.

And he knows nothing.

Xie Yuzhu asked Qi Zhen for help, but not her husband.

Hua Qinfeng looked angry.

He would not get angry with Xie Yuzhu, so Qi Zhen had to bear the consequences.

"Your Majesty, calm down! I dare not, yes, yes..."

Qi Zhen didn't dare to sit any longer. He stood up and hunched his back, not daring to look at the person sitting above him.

"Your Highness, I asked him for help. Don't scare him. Let him sit down and I will tell you slowly." Xie Yuzhu comforted.

"I know more about the palace than he does. Tell me what you want to do and I will help you." Hua Qinfeng's tone was softer, but his expression was still ugly.

"I know. But he is the only one who can do this." Xie Yuzhu looked at Qi Zhen, "Give me the things."

Qi Zhen glanced at Hua Qinfeng carefully again, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he tremblingly handed the drawing to Xie Yuzhu.

"sit down."

He shook his head.

Hua Qinfeng: "Princess, just sit down if you are asked to do so!"

"Yes, yes!" Qi Zhen sat down immediately.

Xie Yuzhu told Hua Qinfeng what had happened.

She explained her intentions and suspicions in detail to Hua Qinfeng.

"I wanted to tell you earlier, Your Highness, but you were in Loushan at the time, and after you came back, things happened one after another in Zhongdu. I saw that you were busy all day, so I thought about telling you later. After all, it's just my doubts now, and there is no substantive problem. I just want to find the answer."

There was silence in the hall for a long time.

Hua Qinfeng's face turned pale.

"Are you doubting the plague from ten years ago? Do you think there's something wrong with the prescription?"

"Your Highness, I don't want you to recall sad things." Xie Yuzhu suddenly remembered the plague and felt sorry for him.

For Hua Qinfeng, the departure of his closest person changed the fate of his life.

"Snapped--"

The sound of plates breaking.

I saw Yun Ling standing at the door with a pale face.

"Yunling?" Xie Yuzhu called softly.

Yun Ling came back to her senses and immediately squatted down to clean up.

"I'll go get some more snacks!"

With that, he hurried out of the hall.

Xie Yuzhu thought: Why is Yunling so careless today?

This little episode did not ease the atmosphere in the hall.

Qi Zhen didn't dare to breathe and sat there trembling with fear.

Hua Qinfeng's thin lips moved slightly: "So, if I hadn't run into Qi Zhen today, you weren't going to tell me? You wanted to investigate the plague ten years ago alone?"

"I'm just curious and I want to learn." Xie Yuzhu stood up and walked to Hua Qinfeng, her slender hand falling on his shoulder. "As a relative, I shouldn't bring up the past and evoke the prince's grief. As a doctor, the plague is not anyone's fault and should not be buried, but should be overcome. If the plague occurs again, how should we deal with it? That prescription should not be locked in the library and covered with dust."

Qi Zhen was stunned and suddenly looked up at Xie Yuzhu.

This is what a doctor should do, but for ten years, he didn't even dare to think about it and forgot the original intention of studying medicine, which is to cure diseases and save lives.

But he missed the prescription that could cure the disease.

Hua Qinfeng looked at Xie Yuzhu, her eyes were clear and peaceful.

"Don't be afraid, my lord. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side." She stood beside him, her eyes gentle and distressed.

Hua Qinfeng hugged her waist and buried his head in her arms.

For so many years, Zhang Xinghe has never given up investigating the plague that came from the sky.

Hua Qinfeng doesn't believe in man-made disasters, he prefers to believe it's a natural disaster.

After all, I can't deceive myself.

Now that he has Xie Yuzhu, she said she will always be by his side.

Then let’s check it out.

Uncover all the ugliness and investigate!

Hua Qinfeng let her go: "What are you going to do next?"

Xie Yuzhu: "Make a key."
