The young imperial physician nodded hurriedly.

"The young lady just said she wanted the Emperor's prescription, then you need to find Physician Hu, as he is in charge of the Emperor's prescriptions."

As he spoke, he pointed to an old imperial physician with a long beard not far away, "That is Physician Hu."

Upon hearing this, Physician Hu nodded hurriedly.

“Young lady, I am the head of the Imperial Medical Academy. If you have any questions, just ask me, and I will answer them without hesitation.”

Lan Zhi nodded in satisfaction, then asked:

"Imperial Physician Hu, who handles the Emperor's prescriptions and daily medicinal herbs?"

"I did all of these myself."

"Then I would be grateful if you could prepare a prescription for me based on the Emperor's daily medication."

Without hesitation, Physician Hu began to prepare the medicine. Lan Zhi carefully observed his facial expression and found that he was calm and did not seem flustered.

It seems there was no problem with the herbs leaving from him, so the second person we should check is the one who prepared the medicine.

"Physician Hu, when do the people who come to fetch medicine for the Emperor usually arrive?"

Physician Hu glanced at the door and said, "You're here. Please wait a moment, young lady."

As he spoke, Physician Hu hurriedly took a packet of medicine from the counter and quickly went out to greet him.

"Eunuch Tian, ​​you've arrived?"

Grandpa Tian?

Upon hearing this address, Lan Zhi turned around and saw Physician Hu handing a packet of medicine to Eunuch Tian, ​​then bowing and scraping as he saw him out the door.

Seeing this, Lan Zhi hurriedly followed, with Physician Hu calling after her.

"Young lady, what medicine do you want?"

"Keep it for me, I'll come back for it later."

As she spoke, she strode to catch up with Eunuch Tian, ​​who was preparing to leave.

"Eunuch Tian..."

When Eunuch Tian turned around and saw Lan Zhi, he first frowned, then reluctantly greeted her.

"Doctor Lan, what are you doing here?"

Lan Zhi looked at the medicinal herbs in his hand and asked curiously:

"Are you here to get medicine for the Emperor?"

Grandpa Tian nodded.

"Yes, this medicine has always been under the Empress's control. She doesn't trust anyone else, so she sent me."

At this point, Grandpa Tian seemed quite proud.

"Where are you going to send this medicine? To whom will you give it? Will you brew it yourself or will someone else do it?"

Eunuch Tian looked at her with great surprise.

"Dr. Lan, this matter seems to have nothing to do with you. Why are you asking about it?"

"I am a doctor who likes to study various prescriptions. I also want to see if there is any difference between the preparation method of the emperor's medicine and ordinary medicine."

But Eunuch Tian looked at her warily.

"The person who brewed this medicine was arranged by the Empress. I didn't know that. I'm in a hurry to deliver the medicine, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, he lifted his foot to leave, but was stopped by Lan Zhi.

"Eunuch Tian, ​​aren't you afraid I might say something I shouldn't if you're in such a hurry to leave?"

She admitted to herself that it was wrong of her to use someone's private affairs to threaten their family, but if she didn't do that, Eunuch Tian wouldn't tell her the truth.

Sure enough, Eunuch Tian stopped in his haste to leave, then turned back to look at her helplessly.

"Grandma, what exactly do you want?"

She took two steps forward, crossed her arms, and looked at him with a broad smile.

“Eunuch Tian, ​​how about this: you give me this medicine, I'll deliver it for you, and then we'll be even. From now on, I won't threaten you with your affair with Xiao Cui anymore.”

Grandpa Tian spread his hands awkwardly.

"This medicine is for the Emperor. If anything goes wrong, you'll lose your life. Not only that, but I'll also be implicated. Even if you complain to the Empress, I will not give you the medicine."

Seeing Eunuch Tian's resolute attitude, Lan Zhi had no choice but to nod helplessly.

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you anymore, you can go now!"

Eunuch Tian looked at her with disbelief.

"You really want me to leave?"

Lan Zhi nodded.

"Yes, I have something to do too, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying those words, she turned and left first. Eunuch Tian looked at her with a puzzled expression before turning and walking away.

Lan Zhi hurriedly whispered to Xiao Xin:

"Xiao Xin, go with Eunuch Tian and help me find out who he gave the medicine to. Then find out who handled the medicine from his hands to the Emperor's hands, and who is the most suspicious. Find out the truth and come back to tell me."

Xiao Xin's eyes flickered a few times before returning to normal. Lan Zhi glanced back at the Imperial Hospital before turning and leaving.

Let Xiaoxin investigate this kind of thing; she doesn't want to run herself ragged and end up with nothing.

That evening, Xiaoxin returned and told her that Eunuch Tian had delivered the medicine to the small kitchen next to the imperial kitchen. The people who brewed the medicine for the emperor were two palace maids from the empress's side. After they finished brewing the medicine, Xiaozhu and Xiaoling, maids from the empress's side, carried the medicine to Fengxian Palace. Then, the empress herself delivered the medicine to Yangxin Hall, handed it to Eunuch Qin, and presented it to the emperor...

Throughout the entire process, Xiao Xin didn't notice anything wrong, which left Lan Zhi completely baffled.

"Xiao Xin, keep an eye on the Imperial Hospital these next few days. Once you see Eunuch Tian going to get medicine for the Emperor, follow him and record the whole process. I don't believe that someone who wants to poison the Emperor won't slip up."

"Yes, Master, but Xiao Xin cannot leave you for too long or go too far, otherwise she will be unable to return due to power failure."

Lan Zhi raised her hand and tapped Xiao Xin on the head.

"I understand. I won't let you die halfway. I won't leave the palace for the next two days. I'll leave once this matter has been verified. Is that alright?"

Xiao Xin's eyes sparkled, and she nodded in satisfaction.

"As long as Master doesn't forget Xiao Xin in the palace, that's fine."

Although Xiaoxin is just a robot, she has human thoughts in her brain. Perhaps the greatest weakness of humans is the fear of loneliness and the fear of being forgotten.

……

Fengxian Palace

Eunuch Tian stood before the Empress, seemingly wanting to speak but hesitating.

The Empress frowned and asked unhappily:

"Why are you hesitating about things? This isn't like you."

Eunuch Tian bowed deeply and replied:

"Your Majesty, I ran into that woman surnamed Lan when I went to get the medicine today."

The Empress casually picked up her teacup, skimming off the foam with the lid as she asked nonchalantly,

"Oh? Is she going to get medicine for the Empress Dowager?"

Grandpa Tian shook his head.

"No, she wanted to deliver medicine to the Emperor on my behalf."

"what?"

The Empress's hand trembled slightly, then she put down the teacup and looked at him with a solemn expression.

"You're saying she wants to deliver medicine to the Emperor? This woman, it seems she's really not content with just being a doctor; she wants to seduce the Emperor?"

Eunuch Tian shook his head in disagreement.

"This servant thinks that she must have ulterior motives for wanting to send medicine to the Emperor. This servant is not sure what she wants to do, which is why I came to tell you."

The Queen's fingers tapped the table absentmindedly, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.

"Alas! His Majesty has been taking this medicine without interruption, but why is his health still not good? I am truly afraid that one day His Majesty will suddenly pass away, and Wei Jian'an will directly inherit the throne. What will happen to Ye'er then? He won't tolerate Ye'er? No, this absolutely cannot be allowed."
