"I will be responsible for treating this woman, and you will use silver needles to prick the middle of her arm and ankle respectively."

Ye Qingluo explained to Doctor Sun and Doctor Jiang that, judging from the situation, the Jijin ointment had already caused great harm to the bodies of these two people and they must be treated as soon as possible.

After some diagnosis and treatment, the woman's condition stabilized, the bruises on her lips faded, and her face regained color.

"How is it going there?"

Ye Qingluo looked at the two doctors again. Doctor Sun, who was closer, spoke first, "Madam, there is nothing wrong now."

As he spoke, the unconscious woman slowly opened her eyes. She looked around in confusion and sat up from the couch. "Where is this place?"

"This is Huichun Hall."

While Ye Qingluo was explaining, the woman burst into tears of joy at the scene and excitedly rushed forward and hugged the woman.

"My daughter, you finally woke up. I was so scared."

"My husband... Doctor, how is my husband?"

The woman then noticed the man lying on the other side, and was horrified to see that he was still unconscious.

"Your husband is fine and will be awake in a while. But girl, why do you have something like Jijin Cream in your hand?"

"Jijin ointment?"

The two people who were packing up medical supplies were instantly attracted by these words.

Doctor Jiang was even more incredulous, and suddenly understood why his wife asked them to perform acupuncture on those two acupoints.

It turned out to be caused by the Jijin ointment.

"My husband and I were walking on the street. When we passed a corner, we bumped into a woman. She seemed very panicked and left quickly before I could ask her anything. I found an ointment at the time and thought it smelled good, so I opened it and tried it. Who knew that later... my husband would be implicated because of me."

"Is there any ointment left?"

"Yes." The woman said, and quickly took out a small box from her arms and handed it over.

Ye Qingluo took it and smelled a strong fragrance as soon as he opened it. The ointment had been used up and only a small part was left.

"Madam, is this the rumored Jijin ointment?"

Doctor Sun stared at the thing in Ye Qingluo's hand in surprise. You know, this thing is not common and is often used to poison and murder people.

Ye Qingluo nodded, and then asked the woman, "Did you see where the person who bumped into you went?"

"I only remember that the corner was in the south of the city. As for the girl, it seemed that she went into an alley and disappeared. I don't remember the details clearly."

"Doctor Sun, Doctor Jiang, I leave this to you."

Ye Qingluo took the Jijin ointment and walked out of the "clinic", and Li Er followed him.

"Madam, do you suspect that there is something wrong with the woman they collided with?"

"Yes." Ye Qingluo replied, "Just follow what that person said and go see what's near the alley and who lives there."

I was in a hurry to get out at that time and had not yet checked the background of the two maids who carried Cuizhu into the room. However, since the problem came from Jijin Paste, there must be a connection.

"Little understands."

Ye Qingluo casually put the Jijin ointment into the space, maybe it could come in handy later.

She looked up at the sky. Two hours had already passed in this delay. She had to quickly deliver the pills to Ye Beimo.

Fearing that someone would notice her, she put on a veil when she was about to reach the Regent's Palace, but was stopped by the guards as she approached.

"Who are you? This is the Prince Regent's Palace. No outsiders are allowed to approach!"

One of the guards couldn't see Ye Qingluo's face clearly, but he saw that he was dressed as a woman, so his attitude became even tougher.

"Is the prince in the palace now?"

As soon as Ye Qingluo opened his mouth, he was scolded, "Take down the curtain if you have anything to say. Do you think you can ask about the prince's affairs?"

"Leave now, or don't blame us for being rude!"

Ye Qingluo looked at the two men, feeling somewhat helpless. Just as she was wondering whether she should take out the token that Ye Beimo had given her, she heard the sound of a carriage coming from behind.

Looking up, I saw a carriage parked not far from the palace. Judging from the logo on it, it should be from the royal family.

A woman who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old came out of the carriage. The two guards who had originally had a bad attitude immediately changed their attitude when they saw the newcomer. They stepped forward respectfully and said, "Greetings to the Fifth Princess."

The woman called the Fifth Princess snorted softly, and her gaze paused for a moment when she saw Ye Qingluo with a veil on her body.

It was the first time she saw another woman in her uncle's mansion.

"Who is this person? How come I have never seen him before?"

The guard glanced at Ye Qingluo and said disapprovingly, "To answer the Fifth Princess, it was just a passerby passing by here."

Ye Siyue snorted lightly, her tone full of contempt, "You dare to chase me here without even showing your face, you really don't know how to live or die."

"But only the emperor's uncle can have such charm, making people fall in love with him at first sight."

When Ye Siyue mentioned Ye Beimo, she looked very proud. After looking down on Ye Qingluo, she paid no more attention to him and asked the two guards.

"Where is my uncle?"

"In reply to the Fifth Princess, the prince has just entered the palace and is not in the mansion at the moment."

"How could it be such a coincidence that the princess just left the palace and the emperor's uncle entered the palace."

"I finally asked my mother for permission to leave the palace, now this trip is in vain." Ye Siyue sighed softly.

Queen mother...

It seems that this woman called the Fifth Princess is the Queen's daughter. Since Ye Beimo is not here, she can only go back first.

The pill will be given to him later.

"What about people?"

When Ye Siyue wanted to ask Ye Qingluo, she found that he had disappeared.

I had wanted to see what this woman looked like, and I had the audacity to chase her straight to the Prince Regent’s Palace.

At this time, Ye Qingluo had already returned to Huichun Hall, and Li Er hurried in.

"Ma'am, I already have a clue to what you asked me to investigate."

"When I arrived there, I happened to meet an aunt who had been treated at Huichuntang before. She told me that a new girl had recently moved there and worked as a waitress at Pingyuan Marquis's mansion. Her name was Xiaoju."

"Madam, is this Xiaoju the one you are looking for?"

"Since he worked in Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion, then that's correct."

As far as she knew, all the maids, servants, and guards in the mansion had their own special rooms to live in, and none of them had ever been seen outside.

"Madam, if you want to go over there, I will lead the way for you."

"it is good."

Ye Qingluo responded that although she could handle the current situation by herself, it would always be a good idea to bring more people.

Regent's Palace.

Ye Beimo came back from the palace and looked at the sky, his mind unable to help but think of Ye Qingluo’s words that day.

"Has anyone come here while I'm away?"

The two guards froze, looked at each other and said, "The Fifth Princess came here before, but she went back without seeing you."

"Is there anyone else besides this?"

"This..." The guard was about to answer when another person spoke first.

"Your Highness, no."

Who knows who the woman with the veil is? What if she is of unknown origin or has ill intentions? Wouldn't that be their oversight?

The prince should not care about such a small matter.
