When Qi Jin heard Ye Zhen's question, her eyes flashed with doubt. "Your Highness, I have never heard of this … poisonous pill."
"Marquis Jingning was poisoned by this." Ye Zhen sighed. She actually knew that Qi Jin was not clear about this. The poisonous pill had only recently appeared in Jianghu. "Do you know who in the world can refine poison?"
"I've only heard of a poisonous beauty before, but I haven't heard of her for many years. She should be dead …" Before Qi Jin finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Tang Zhen. "Is she still alive?"
Ye Zhen immediately asked, "Where is she? Who is she? "
Qi Jin smiled helplessly. "Your Highness, I've only heard of her, but I don't know her."
"Forget it, I'll let someone check again." Ye Zhen said. "Medical Officer Qi, there's something I want to trouble you with."
"Your Highness, please tell me what you need." Qi Jin said.
Ye Zhen looked at Tang Zhen who still hadn't woken up. "Now, I don't know how dangerous it is outside. I don't feel at ease sending Marquis Jingning out of the palace. Mr. Huangfu is not here now, and I don't feel at ease with others. Can you stay here and take care of him?"
Qi Jin bowed her head slightly. "This commoner will listen to your arrangements."
"That's good." After the incident with the medical girl, even Minister Gong was called out by Ye Zhen. With Qi Jin staying in the Imperial Hospital, Ye Zhen was relieved.
She went to the bed and sat down to feel Tang Zhen's pulse. If it weren't for the bowl of poison, she could still give him the spiritual spring water every day to expel the poison. Now, she gave him the spiritual spring water to save his life. She didn't know when he would wake up.
"The poison in Marquis Jingning is too dangerous." Qi Jin said. When she felt Tang Zhen's pulse, she felt that she had no confidence in saving him. The only person who could save Tang Zhen's life was probably the empress.
Ye Zhen took out a pill, melted it in a cup of water, and let Xiao Ran feed it to Tang Zhen little by little. Tang Zhen was unconscious and even drinking water was a problem, so she could only feed him little by little.
At this time, the outside of the palace was still filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, but there were more guards patrolling every street and alley. The New Year's celebration had not yet passed. When people saw these guards, they thought they were worried that there would be many thieves during the New Year and specially came out to defend.
Apart from a few people who knew the truth about the Dao Palace, such as Duanmu Ya.
Duanmu Ya came out early in the morning. He was looking for Lu Lingzhi. He had already inquired about the person he saw on the street previously. He was the chief steward of Prince Yi's Residence.
The princess of Prince Yi's Mansion was the princess of Qi State. This Chief Lin came from Qi State. Duanmu Ya felt that he should be Lu Lingzhi.
Although he did not see how Lu Lingzhi looked when he removed the gauze, he was the one who helped Lu Lingzhi change his appearance, so he could more or less recognize him.
"Where are you going?" Duanmu Ya knew that he couldn't find Prince Yi's Mansion directly. When he heard Ye Zhen say that Lu Lingzhi had such a terrible identity, he could only search behind the scenes. So, he was ready to guard the vicinity of Prince Yi's Mansion. Before he could take a few steps, he was pulled by someone behind him. Turning around, he saw that it was Lu Tingzhi.
"If there's something, don't follow me." Duanmu Ya waved Lu Tingzhi's hand away.
"I've told you before. Either you leave the capital or you stay in the house. Haven't you caused enough trouble?" Lu Tingzhi was very angry. If Duanmu Ya hadn't done those things for Lu Lingzhi, perhaps there wouldn't be so much trouble now.
Duanmu Ya was vexed. He felt guilty, but how could he know that Lu Lingzhi had such ability? "Fine, I'll go. I don't want to stay here and see your face."
"Alright, then I won't send you off." Lu Tingzhi said coldly, turned around and walked back.
"You didn't even ask me to stay!" Duanmu Ya glared at Lu Tingzhi's back. To think that he still regarded him as a friend.
However, this was better. It was more convenient for him to find Lu Lingzhi.
Duanmu Ya simply found an inn to stay in so that he could continue to look for Lu Lingzhi.

On the other side, Zhao Ning left the palace early to see Zhao Rao. Outside the door, she saw Lu Lingzhi who was about to go out.
"Chief Lin, where are you going?" Zhao Ning came down from the carriage and saw that Chief Lin was about to go out. Her delicate eyebrows frowned slightly. She and Mo Rongzhan were not at home. Why was Chief Lin going out?
Speaking of which, it seemed like this Chief Lin often went out.
Lu Lingzhi said in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "Replying Princess, this morning, Marquis Anning brought the Third Prince out. The Grand Princess asked this servant to go find them."
"They went out so early?" Zhao Ning was stunned. Although she was not in Qi, Zhao Rao had already written to her about the Third Prince's background. However, when she thought of that Marquis Anning, she did not really want to see him.
"Yes, when this servant went to pay his respects, they were no longer in the residence." Lu Lingzhi said helplessly.
Zhao Ning then said, "Then hurry up and go find them. I'll go find the Grand Princess."
"Yes." Lu Lingzhi replied in a low voice.
Zhao Ning's suspicions towards this Chief Lin disappeared. She hurriedly walked to the backyard and saw Zhao Rao in the guest room. She had not seen her for a few years.
"Big sister." Zhao Ning pursed her lips and smiled. Although she did not miss her very much, blood was still thicker than water. Seeing her own sister, her eyes still felt a little warm.
"Ah Ning, you're back?" Zhao Rao saw that her sister had returned and her face revealed a happy smile. "I was still wondering when I would be able to see you again."
Zhao Ning stepped forward and held Zhao Rao's hand. "I didn't know that you would arrive so quickly. When I heard the news in the palace yesterday, it was already very late so I had to leave early."
"I know." Zhao Rao did not ask too much and only looked at Zhao Ning. On the way to Jin, she was worried that her sister would be wronged in the Prince's residence. She was originally not someone who was going to marry the Prince, and she did not know if others would look down on her. She also did not know what else that Mo Rongyi had done. However, looking at Zhao Ning's rosy complexion, it seemed … it seemed a little different from what had been reported in Qi. "How are you doing in the Prince's residence?"
"Not bad." Zhao Ning smiled. She held Zhao Rao's hand and sat down. "Big sister, are you doing well in the Capital?"
"How can I not be doing well? Who would dare to make me feel wronged? " Zhao Ning glared at her. "But you, you said that you and Mo Rongyi were in love with each other. You've only been married for a few years and he actually dares to let you down. Is he bullying you because your family is in Qi?"
She said that they were in love with each other to coax Zhao Yong! Zhao Ning lowered her head in embarrassment.
Zhao Rao saw her like this and thought that she had suffered a lot.
"It's fine. If you are not happy here, we can go back to Qi. Are you afraid that Imperial Father will not be able to support you?" Zhao Rao snorted. "We don't care about being the Princess."
"Big sister …" Zhao Ning was touched. "I am actually quite good."
Zhao Rao said unhappily. "Even now, you still can't let go of that Mo Rongyi?"
