It doesn’t matter, my boyfriend is a eunuch!

Concubine Li's tone was even a little flattering and humble. She looked at Lin Zhihe and then at Liu Li.

But Lin Zhihe didn't intend to pay attention to her, and spread her hands, "Sister, there is no one else here, just tell me!"

Concubine Li seemed a little hesitant. Before she could speak again, Lin Zhihe quickly interrupted her, "Sister, please speak quickly. I still have a lot of things to do in the palace!"

Helpless, Concubine Li had no choice but to speak.

She was awkward and turned her face away, facing Liu Li sideways, "Sister, do you know what's been circulating outside the palace recently?"

Lin Zhihe is well aware of the Three Character Classic: If she doesn’t ask, I won’t tell; if she asks, I’ll be surprised.

Therefore, Lin Zhihe acted surprised and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Looking at my sister's bad face, I guess it's not a good thing."

After Lin Zhihe said this, Concubine Li became two shades paler, almost blending with the white powder on her face.

Before she could speak, tears welled up in her eyes. "People are saying Taotao has a rash, and they say it's smallpox."

The two words "ceiling" were bitten very low, and they sounded very vague.

"What happened?" Lin Zhihe pretended not to hear clearly.

In fact, if Lin Zhihe had not already known the content of the rumor and had not been able to hear clearly what Concubine Li said, her reaction would not have been considered an overreaction.

Lin Zhihe's problem really troubled Concubine Li.

She felt relieved after she finished speaking, but Lin Zhihe didn't hear it clearly, so she had to muster up the courage to say it again.

"Smallpox"

Although the voice was low this time, Lin Zhihe at least heard it clearly.

She covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes wide open, pretending to be surprised, "Sister, what did you say? Taotao has smallpox?"

Concubine Li's hands waved as fast as lightning, and she almost covered Lin Zhihe's mouth with her hands.

"Keep your voice down!"

"Sister, this is no joke!" Lin Zhihe continued to be surprised.

"How could I not know?" Concubine Li was still frightened.

"But you said it was a rumor among the people. Why did the people know about it but the palace didn't?"

"Does the Emperor know?"

"Did Taotao really get smallpox?"

This series of questions obviously confused Concubine Li. She said softly, "This... the doctor in the palace checked it out and said it's not smallpox, but just a rash."

Hearing that it was just a common rash, Lin Zhihe was relieved.

The fifth prince is still a human being.

"This matter cannot be taken lightly, we must take a good look at it!"

Concubine Li quickly took over the conversation, "Yes, sister, that's right. We should find a doctor to check it out!"

"I want to ask the imperial physician in the palace to take a good look. Firstly, to reassure His Majesty, and secondly, the imperial physician in the palace is very skilled."

At this point, it has become clear what Concubine Li and Prince Cheng are planning.

Sure enough, the next second, Concubine Li spoke up: "I heard that there is a doctor named Xu in the palace who is specially responsible for checking your pulse. Although his official rank in the Imperial Hospital is not high, his medical skills are very good. Moreover, he is your man and knows Taotao inside and out. It is most appropriate for him to go to Prince Cheng's Mansion."

Listening to Concubine Li's analysis and narration, Lin Zhihe still had a smile on his face, but he was already very angry in his heart.

This King Cheng really has a good plan, he wants to drag her into everything.

Everyone knew that Doctor Xu was brought into the palace by Lin Zhihe. Now that Doctor Xu said that Taotao was safe and sound, wasn't it tantamount to using her as an endorsement?

The Fifth Prince's original plan to make King Cheng "in a state of panic" was naturally shattered. After all, Lin Zhihe's people had spoken, so who could still question it?

The Fifth Prince must be so furious. He had planned such an elaborate scheme, even hiding it from Lin Zhihe, and had made such a big fuss about it, but it was cracked by the Second Prince like a spring breeze.

No, why did the second prince suddenly drag her into this?

Could it be that he knew that it was the Fifth Prince’s men who did it?

How did he know so quickly?

It shouldn't be possible...

Lin Zhihe was brainstorming, while Concubine Li on the opposite side was waiting for her to speak with a smile on her face.

"Sister, this Doctor Xu was indeed recommended by me to the Imperial Hospital, but his rank in the hospital is too low, and now he is not qualified to treat the sisters in the palace. He can only prescribe medicine and recite prescriptions for the imperial doctors. I am afraid that he may not be able to make the right diagnosis and delay Taotao's illness."

Just as Concubine Li was about to speak, Lin Zhihe continued, "Besides, my sister has never trusted Doctor Jiang of the Imperial Hospital the most. I heard that he has been serving my sister for more than ten years. In every aspect, Doctor Jiang should be the one!"

Lin Zhihe was so persistent, but Concubine Li did not give up.

"What a coincidence! Imperial Doctor Jiang reported his illness to the Imperial Hospital this morning, and I just remembered Doctor Xu whom you recommended."

"I heard that Doctor Xu had been at the Lin residence before and had given Taotao acupuncture. He knows Taotao's physical condition very well and is very familiar with the procedure."

Concubine Li did not intend to continue listening to Lin Zhihe's argument, and stood up directly, "Okay, I will ask someone to invite Doctor Xu, sister, you can rest first."

After that, he turned around and left.

This operation made Lin Zhihe dumbfounded.

No, who are these people? You know Doctor Xu once gave Taotao acupuncture and saved his life!

Why do you drag others into the vortex when something happens?

Could he be the legendary Uzumaki Naruto?

"What should we do?" Liu Li looked at Concubine Li's departing back.

"Nothing to do, nothing to do." Lin Zhihe flicked his sleeves and sat on the chair with a straight back.

"No?" Liu Li paused, "What about the Fifth Prince..."

"If we don't tell him, he will know it soon."

She absolutely did not believe that the Fifth Prince did not have any spies in the Vermillion Bird Palace.

Even if there was no one in the Vermillion Bird Palace, the news that Concubine Li was going to the Imperial Hospital to find Doctor Xu in a grand manner would have spread throughout the harem soon.

So they didn't need to notify the Fifth Prince at all.

All they need to do is sit back and wait.

It’s a pity that I can’t see the expression on the Fifth Prince’s face when he saw that his plan was so well planned but was easily broken.

Lin Zhihe held his chin with his right hand and shook his crossed legs. "You said...did King Cheng come up with this idea himself, or did he get advice from an expert?"

Liu Li quickly shook his head, "This servant doesn't know."

Although this situation is not very brilliant, the impact can be great or small.

If it was really King Cheng who came up with the solution himself, then Lin Zhihe would have to look at him with new eyes.

interesting.

It seems that it is still unknown who will win.

I sigh again, it’s a pity that she can’t see it.
