Soon, Zeng Junru's maid brought the jewelry box over.

After searching for a while, she finally found the dark green jade pendant at the bottom. Zeng Junru didn't dare to take it anymore, so she asked the maid to wrap it in a handkerchief and hand it to Jiang Sining.

After taking the jade pendant, Jiang Sining immediately felt a chill in his hand. He then held it up to the sun and discovered that the jade was clean and transparent. It was indeed a rare piece of good jade.

But she has no idea how to control the space of the jade pendant.

"It's a little difficult," she said, "I'll have to check it carefully."

Doctor Li looked at Zeng Junru and asked for her opinion. Then he said, "I will arrange a guest room for you. You can stay here for the time being."

Jiang Sining nodded, then put on the jade pendant and followed a maid to the room.

After she left, Zeng Junru asked, "Doctor Li, do you think she can do it?"

"Although this girl is young, she is calm and composed in her speech and behavior, and there is no fear in her eyes. We can conclude that she has real talent and knowledge." Doctor Li said, "But I cannot make a conclusion as to whether she can cure this poison. I can only say that she is better than before. At least we know what caused her strange disease, and there is hope for a cure."

Zeng Junru's anxious heart finally settled down a little.

After taking a sip of tea, he continued, "What do you think about the matter that my father asked me to do?"

Speaking of this, Doctor Li's expression immediately became serious.

He was just a doctor with slightly better medical skills, but he never expected that he would be related to the Minister of Finance of the imperial court.

The bad thing was that half a month ago, the county sent a group of exiles, who were said to be some maids and old women from General Si's mansion. He happened to pass by at that time and noticed at a glance that one of them was different from the others.

After asking around, I found out that it was Mrs. Chen, who was married to General Si.

But Mrs. Chen at that time seemed to have suffered a lot and had been tortured to the point of no longer being human.

He couldn't bear it for a moment.

Ever since he heard about General Si's affairs, he had never believed that he would commit treason, and he felt that he should not implicate others and suffer unnecessary disaster.

So he paid some money to buy back Madam Chen and the old woman who had not been sold, and had them taken good care of.

A few days ago, someone from the Si family came to his house and wanted to take her away, but he did not agree for the time being, thinking that he would wait a few days until Mrs. Chen fully recovered before doing so.

As a result, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue came yesterday.

Firstly, she came to seek medical treatment, but she also brought a letter from the Minister of Revenue, asking him to sell Madam Chen or hand her over directly to someone in the Minister's Mansion.

Doctor Li didn't understand the factions in the court, but as a doctor, he knew that Madam Chen was a patient now, and he would not give it to her son even if he came, let alone to the Shangshu Mansion.

Of course, he didn't refuse directly, he just said he would think about it. He thought the other party would understand what he meant, but now he brought up the old matter again.

"Miss Zeng, please allow me to think about this matter for a while."

"Doctor Li, you'd better make a decision soon," Zeng Junru said, "I will return to Beijing as soon as my strange disease is cured. If Doctor Li is willing to give up, my father said that he will reward you handsomely in the future."

The implication is that if you don't agree, you should be prepared to accept revenge from the Shangshu Mansion.

Doctor Li smiled bitterly. The reason why he chose to live in this country place was that he wanted to concentrate on studying medicine and not get involved in the gossips of the secular world.

In the end, there was no escape.

Now, he didn't know what to do.

Give it to them. If Madam Chen falls into those people's hands, there will be no good outcome for her.

If he doesn't give it to him, he will probably have a hard time living a peaceful life in the future.

With such worry and melancholy, Doctor Li said goodbye to Zeng Junru.

“Miss, it seems that the old man doesn’t want to give it.”

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't give it to me," Zeng Junru said, "The old woman is in his house, can she just fly away?"

"What the lady means is..."

"First, find out where she lives," Zeng Junru said. "After my disease is cured, find a chance to kill her and then frame Divine Doctor Li."

"Miss is very smart."

Zeng Junru smiled faintly, this was considered a very clever move.

You know, she is not an ordinary woman. Even the father of the Minister of Revenue is too useless in her eyes.

She, Zeng Junru, is a woman who is determined to become a queen and the mother of the country!

……

In the quiet room, Jiang Sining closed the doors and windows and began to study the dark green jade pendant.

In the original novel, the jade pendant was accidentally stained with Zeng Junru's blood, which left a mark on her, but it was not yet bound.

So what would happen if I got her blood on it now?

She took out a scalpel, made a small cut on her finger, and gently smeared the bright red blood on the jade pendant.

Not long after, something magical happened.

On her right forearm, a shape exactly like the jade pendant began to slowly emerge, and the color gradually changed from light to dark. After a cup of tea, it became exactly the same as Zeng Junru's mark.

She pulled down her sleeves to cover the mark and went out, pretending to pass by the courtyard next door and saw Zeng Junru lying under the shade of bamboo to rest.

"Miss Zeng."

"It's my sister, come in quickly!" Zeng Junru was grateful and asked eagerly, "My sister is looking for me, but have you found any clues?"

"A little bit, but not completely clear yet," Jiang Sining said, "I still need to take another look at the mark on the young lady's arm."

"Okay, look, sister!"

Zeng Junru hurriedly lifted her sleeves, but her mark remained the same as before, without any change.

This is a problem. To whom will the jade pendant give the space in the end?

Is it half for each person, or can both of them use it?

Jiang Sining felt that neither was likely. If one space could be used by multiple people, it would not have been missing in the original book.

She guessed that the conditions for finally activating the space were the key to the problem.

This requires a careful recollection of the original work.

"Sister, how are you?"

"Well, there are some signs of progress," Jiang Sining said, "If everything goes well, it will take two days at most."

"Really? That's great!" Zeng Junru was overjoyed, "Sister, please let me know if you need anything!"

"No hurry, I'll bring it up when I need it."

After saying goodbye to Zeng Junru, Jiang Sining did not return to the house, but called the maid assigned to her by Doctor Li, and asked her to take her for a walk outside and think about the plot of the original novel.

At the beginning of the original work, heavy rain has been falling for several days in a row, which has caused mountain torrents, destroyed many roads, and caused mudslides, which was encountered by Zeng Junru's carriage.

However, the rain and mudslide was not accidental. It was because one of her followers was bribed by the second female lead, the woman who would compete with her for the Ninth Prince in the future, and they wanted to kill her.

The carriage was washed down the hillside and damaged, the horse got stuck in the mud and died, the attendants and maids all died, and she was the only one who survived.

But the situation was not optimistic. She barely climbed onto the top of the carriage, but there was mud and stones everywhere around her, and there were more and more of them. It seemed that she and the carriage would soon be swallowed up.

At this moment, she opened the space and collected all the mud and stones inside. She finally escaped from danger and found evidence that the second female lead had harmed her from the body of her follower.

This is a typical story that starts with a life-and-death crisis, followed by a plot to assassinate and encounter a mudslide, and then using a cheat to escape the crisis. There is nothing special about the whole process. When there is no solution, the cheat is used.

Is this really the case?

Could the opportunity to open up the space be a matter of life and death?

Or, did I miss something?

Just as Jiang Sining was trying hard to recall the original work word by word, the maid had already brought her to the back of the house.

"Girl, do you like growing medicine?"

A gentle voice was heard, and Jiang Sining looked up, only to see a charming woman with two maids weeding in a medicinal field.

As soon as Jiang Sining saw the woman's appearance, his heart moved.
