I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

"You were sleepwalking." Zhang Jun said calmly, "This room originally belonged to you, so you walked in out of habit."

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Liu Ying apologized repeatedly and ran out in a hurry, "I didn't mean it!"

She ran so fast that she missed a step and almost fell. She finally escaped back to her room, closed the door, and leaned her back against it, her heart pounding like a drum.

"Oh my God, how could I do such a thing..." She covered her face, feeling so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

On his side, Zhang Jun looked at the messed bed, shook his head helplessly, tidied it up and continued to meditate.

The next morning, Zhang Jun got up and went to check on Liu Hong. After a night's rest, the old man was in much better spirits and was able to get out of bed and walk around.

"Doctor Zhang, you're here." When Liu Hong saw Zhang Jun, he quickly stood up and saluted.

Zhang Jun felt his pulse and checked the spot where he had received the acupuncture last night. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "You're recovering well, but you still need to recuperate for a while."

He wrote a new prescription and adjusted Liu Hong's diet: "You should eat light food these days and eat more blood-nourishing foods."

Liu Ming nodded repeatedly beside him: "Yes, we will definitely do as you say."

Liu Ying was also there, but she didn't dare look at Zhang Jun. She blushed when she thought of what happened last night.

Zhang Jun prepared the medicine and watched Liu Hong take it. The old man's complexion was obviously better.

"It's amazing!" Liu Ming exclaimed, "He was barely alive yesterday, but today he's able to get out of bed and walk around."

The news spread quickly. The story of the old man of the Liu family coming back to life caused a sensation in the local business circle. Everyone was talking about the legend of a young miracle doctor who had brought the old man back to life.

In less than half a day, many people gathered outside the Liu family's door, all wanting to meet this young miracle doctor.

"Boss Liu, I heard that a miracle doctor came to your house?"

"Yes, can we meet him? My old mother is also sick..."

"I'm willing to pay a high price to have a miracle doctor treat me!"

Liu Ming was a little embarrassed. Zhang Jun didn't say he wanted to treat other people, so he didn't dare to make a decision on his own.

"Doctor Zhang, there are a lot of people outside who want to see you..." Liu Ming said cautiously.

Zhang Jun was basking in the sun in the yard. Upon hearing this, he looked up at the crowd outside and said calmly, "I'm just passing by. I'm not a professional doctor."

"But..." Liu Ming wanted to say something.

"Let them go." Zhang Jun waved his hand.

Liu Ming had no choice but to go out and explain to the crowd. But those people refused to listen and instead gathered in larger and larger numbers, some even kneeling outside the door and refusing to leave.

"Godly doctor, please save my child!"

"I'm willing to give away all my ancestral jade pendants, just to ask the miracle doctor to help!"

The cries and pleas were so deafening that it made people feel upset.

Zhang Jun frowned, thinking that this situation would never end. He was just wondering whether to leave when Wang Dingguo rushed in.

"Master, there are more and more people outside. The streets are blocked!" Wang Dingguo said breathlessly, "If this continues, I'm afraid something bad will happen." **Chapter 2 Doubts Arise**

It was almost dusk when Zhou Qing returned to the mansion from Yunxi Palace. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard a noisy discussion coming from the front hall.

"I heard that the attendant is making trouble in the palace again."

"What nonsense! I am now a popular figure around the Empress."

"A popular person? I think it's a villain who has achieved success."

Zhou Qing frowned; these voices were familiar to him. As he got closer, he saw that they were indeed some distant relatives from the mansion, as well as a few neighbors he rarely interacted with.

"Zhou Qing is back!" A middle-aged man with a pointed chin and monkey-like features spoke first. "I heard you've become wealthy now and are working in the palace?"

Zhou Qing glanced at them calmly: "What's the matter?"

"Oh, you're really putting on airs," another woman said sarcastically. "But then again, aren't you the son-in-law of the Wang family who was kicked out? How did you suddenly become so successful?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of everyone present became amused.

"That's right, I heard a few days ago that you were practicing medicine on the street."

"Practicing medicine? What medical skills does he know? He's just a fraud."

"Maybe he used some shady means to climb to his current position."

Zhou Qing sneered in his heart. These people usually avoided him, but now that they saw that he was doing well, they came up to him and gave him orders.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, a clear female voice came from outside the door: "Is Mr. Zhou home?"

Everyone turned around and saw a young woman in a light blue dress approaching. It was Liu Ying. She was followed by several servants of the Liu family, carrying a number of gifts.

"Ms. Liu?" Zhou Qing was a little surprised.

Liu Ying walked closer and bowed to Zhou Qing, "Mr. Zhou, my grandfather asked me to come here to thank you for saving my life."

As she spoke, she turned to the group of people who were talking and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The man with the pointed chin and monkey cheeks rolled his eyes. "Oh, it's Miss Liu. We were chatting with Zhou Qing. I heard he's been very capable lately."

"Skill?" Liu Ying frowned slightly. "What skill?"

"It's medical skills," the woman continued. "But we all think it's a little strange. How could he, a good-for-nothing who was kicked out of the Wang family, suddenly be able to heal illnesses?"

Liu Ying's face darkened: "What did you say?"

"Ms. Liu, we're doing this for the good of your Liu family." A gentle, middle-aged man stepped forward. "I've been dealing in Chinese medicinal herbs for many years and am quite knowledgeable about various herbs. In my opinion, Mr. Zhou may have used stimulating hormone drugs to temporarily improve his spirits, but this method only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, and may even be harmful."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd of onlookers was in an uproar.

"I see!"

"That's what I said, there's no such magical thing."

"Miss Liu, you must be careful."

Liu Ying's expression became increasingly grim. She looked at Zhou Qing, "Mr. Zhou, this..."

Zhou Qing said calmly, "Do you believe what they say?"

"I..." Liu Ying was speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, the man who was engaged in the Chinese medicine business was even more proud. "Ms. Liu, to prove my guess, why don't you ask Mr. Zhou to take out another pill and I will ask a professional pharmacist to test the ingredients. This will not only prove his innocence, but also make Mr. Liu feel more at ease when using the medicine."

"Yes, yes, that's a good suggestion!"

"That's right, every medicine is toxic. How can we be assured without testing?"

Everyone echoed, their eyes focused on Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing shook his head calmly: "Impossible."

"Why?" the man asked, "If it's really a good drug, why don't you dare test it?"

"My prescription is a secret recipe. I can't show it to anyone." Zhou Qing answered straightforwardly.

Now, the doubts are even louder.

"See, I feel guilty!"

"If you're really capable, why would you be afraid of testing?"
