First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

After the meal, Xie Yingfeng and Zhou Ziqi found that they didn't have no appetite, but they ate much more than usual. All the dishes on the table were swept away, leaving nothing...

The two looked at each other and felt a little embarrassed.

"Thank you, Madam Wei, for your hospitality." Zhou Ziqi stood up, bowed to Su Jixiang and said.

"No, no!" Su Jixiang and the others hurriedly returned the greeting, "We also want to thank Master Zhou for taking the trouble to treat General Wei."

"It's almost time. Afeng and I will go get General Wei out of the bathtub first." Zhou Ziqi said, "I'll trouble Madam Wei here."

"It's my duty, it's my duty." Su Jixiang waved his hand and said.

After Zhou Ziqi and Xie Yingfeng went to the main house to fish Wei Ling out of the water, they loosened the cowhide tied around him. Zhou Ziqi checked Wei Ling's wound. Su Jixiang's skills were really good. After soaking for so long, no water got into the wound, and the wound was still the same as Zhou Ziqi had bandaged it before.

"Tell me the truth, how sure are you of Wei Ling?" Xie Yingfeng asked in a low voice after helping Zhou Ziqi to settle Wei Ling.

"Thirty percent." Zhou Ziqi replied calmly while giving Wei Ling acupuncture.

"How could this happen!" Xie Yingfeng, who had never given up, was really unable to hold back this time. He took a step back and looked dejectedly at Wei Ling who was lying motionless on the bed.

"Then we need to ask him what he did outside!" Zhou Ziqi snorted, "It must be God's mercy that he has suffered so much!"

What can he do? He just went to assassinate Emperor Jing and fought with the Jinwu Guards! He is really a madman! Who would do such a big thing alone?

Xie Yingfeng did not tell Zhou Ziqi where Wei Ling was going. Since he did not tell Zhou Ziqi, he did not ask.

Their Zhou family has been serving as imperial physicians for generations, and they have always been tight-lipped and talk little. But just because his father refused to do something against his conscience, he was the only one left in the entire Zhou family!

But even if he is alone, the ancestral teachings cannot be abandoned!

After all, he knew that Wei Ling did not do anything bad! Zhou Ziqi didn't care about anything else!

At three quarters past midnight, Zhou Ziqi withdrew the needle and checked Wei Ling's pulse, which was still extremely weak.

"I'll go back and see if there's any way to save him!" Zhou Ziqi said as he packed up his things. "I'm afraid the usual prescriptions won't work. I'll go back and look at the notebooks at home to see if I can find a better prescription!"

"Yeah." Xie Yingfeng and Zhou Ziqi walked out of the room together. Seeing Su Jixiang standing under the corridor, Xie Yingfeng was surprised, "Why doesn't Madam Wei go in?" It was so cold!

"I'm afraid to disturb you." Su Jixiang raised his eyes and smiled.

"Madam Wei, please take care of General Wei tonight." Zhou Ziqi bowed to Su Jixiang, "He is unconscious now, so Madam Wei doesn't need to do anything. If he suddenly has a high fever, please send someone to call me immediately. I live in the first house at the entrance of Shuzhuangzi Hutong! It's not far from here."

"I've got that." Su Jixiang nodded.

If Wei Ling has a high fever, then it must be a problem with the wound!

She understood this.

Xie Yingfeng also bowed to Su Jixiang and said, "Thank you, Madam Wei. I'm going back now. I'll come to visit you again tomorrow." In this situation, there was no point for him and Zhou Ziqi to stay.

The two of them walked out hand in hand and walked side by side on the road of Mangcheng at night.

"Do you think Mrs. Wei is a little too calm?" After leaving the Wei family, Zhou Ziqi still expressed his doubts to Xie Yingfeng.

"He is a man who has seen the world." Xie Yingfeng picked out several major events that happened after he met Su Jixiang in the palace and told Zhou Ziqi, "How could a man who could rescue my wife from the rebel army and ask for grace from the current emperor to pardon all the palace maids be a person who panics when encountering troubles?"

"There is such a situation?" Zhou Ziqi was a little dazed when he heard it, and couldn't help but smile slightly, "It seems that there are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the palace. Even a small maid in the imperial kitchen has such skills and insights!"

"That's right." Xie Yingfeng nodded.

"I feel a lot more relieved to have her looking after Wei Ling," Zhou Ziqi said.

"I don't think so!" Xie Yingfeng sighed instead, "I think that although she looks warm-hearted and repays favors, she is really a heartless person! Being nice to everyone means being mean to no one! The reason why she is so calm is that she has seen the world and she is indifferent to Wei Ling. As the saying goes, caring too much makes you confused. She did not make any mistakes or panic from beginning to end. She is so heartless to Wei Ling."

"Then... leaving her with Wei Ling now..." Zhou Ziqi stopped immediately and looked at Xie Yingfeng with a little worry.

"It's okay. She's not a bad person." Xie Yingfeng pulled Zhou Ziqi, "Don't worry, she won't watch Wei Ling die for no reason. Didn't I say it? She will repay a favor. Wei Ling saved her from the chaos of the army anyway!"

"Oh. That makes me feel relieved." Zhou Ziqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wei Ling cannot die. If Wei Ling dies, the Black Tiger Army will surely fall apart." Xie Yingfeng looked at the bright moon above his head. "If the Black Tiger Army is really in chaos, Mangcheng might be in trouble again. If this really happens, all our efforts over the years will be in vain!"

"I understand. I will do my best to save him." Zhou Ziqi sighed and said.

Su Jixiang stood in the room for a while before walking to the bed.

Xie Yingfeng and Zhou Ziqi tidied up the house a bit, and the large bathtub for medicinal baths was also moved out, leaving only a few water stains on the floor that had not yet completely dried up.

Zhou Ziqi casually threw the clothes taken off Wei Ling on the side of the bed and did not put them away.

Su Jixiang went to get the basin for washing his face and put the clothes into the basin. The clothes were black, so even though they were soaked in blood, it was not visible. However, from time to time, the smell of blood spread in the room, which was really unpleasant.

Just as Su Jixiang was picking up the clothes one by one and shaking them habitually, a small round porcelain bottle rolled out from the clothes.

There were bloody fingerprints on the porcelain bottle, apparently it had been taken out by Wei Ling before.

Su Jixiang turned the bottle and saw the words "Nine Turns Resurrection Pill" on the label on the other side of the bottle! There were also traces of bloody handprints on the label... Su Jixiang quickly opened the bottle and found a pill inside! The shape, size and color were exactly the same as the one he had taken out from Zhou Ziqi before!
