"Greetings to the Empress." Qi Ruoshui calmly saluted with a dignified temperament.
Ye Zhen raised her hand and let Qi Ruoshui straighten up. Her eyes looked at Qi Jin on the side. "Medical Officer Qi, you happen to be together with Qi Ruoshui. Did I disturb you?"
Qi Jin replied in a low voice, "Replying niang niang, this lowly official only sought her out today to ask about A 'Chen."
Listening to Qi Jin's stiff and indifferent tone, it seemed that the relationship between this mother and daughter was not very good.
Ye Zhen looked at Qi Ruoshui again. "Qi Shi, why did you ask Mister Shan to inform me about Mister Huangfu on your behalf?"
"Your Highness, it's already difficult for a commoner like me to enter the palace, let alone see you. At that time, I had no choice but to think of Dan Shi." Qi Ruoshui said lightly, "As for the others, I dare not trouble them."
Qi Jin looked at her with a livid face. She didn't want the scandal between them to be known by everyone. The Empress was such a meticulous person that she could detect the slightest trace.
"What Dan Shi told Her Ladyship was my idea. That's all I know." Qi Ruoshui replied in a low voice.
Qi Jin looked at Qi Ruoshui and asked, "What else can you say? Since you were taken to the Priestess Hall, you should be very familiar with it. Don't tell me you don't know why A 'Chen was taken away? What will they do to A' Chen?"
Ye Zhen asked in surprise, "Have you been to the Priest Hall before?"
Qi Ruoshui replied in a low voice, "Yes, I was once imprisoned in the Priest Hall for several years and was forced to cure the old Witch King of Western Liang."
"Witch King!" Ye Zhen blurted out. For the first time, she felt a little closer to the Witch King.
"Now, the Witch King is her daughter. The old Witch King has long been unable to move." Qi Ruoshui said, "I fled while she was seriously ill. I know nothing about the situation in the Priest Hall now."
Ye Rou looked up at Qi Ruoshui and said, "You're saying that the Witch King is a woman?"
"Yes, the last two generations of Witch Kings were both women." Qi Ruoshui said.
This was beyond Ye Zhen's expectation. She didn't expect the Witch King to be a woman.
"Back then, they only brought you there to treat the Old Witch King's illness. Now, they've captured Mr. Huangfu. Is it for the same reason?" If that was the case, at least Huangfu Chen was safe.
Qi Jin, who was at the side, appeared to be a little anxious. She knew that Qi Ruoshui had been brought away not just to treat the Old Mage King's illness. There must be other reasons.
Qi Ruoshui shook his head, "I'm not sure."
In fact, Ye Zhen still had many doubts about Qi Ruoshui, but with Qi Jin and Dan Shi here, some things were not easy for her to ask.
"Can you tell me everything about the Priest Hall?" Ye Zhen looked at Qi Ruoshui and asked.
"This …" Qi Ruoshui hesitated for a moment. "Your Highness, please allow me to think about it. After all, it has already been a while, and some of my memories are not very clear. I will go back and write down what I can think of and send it to you tomorrow."
That would be for the best. Ye Rou nodded. "Okay."
Now it seemed that there was nothing to doubt. Ye Zhen let them all retreat first. She walked to the window and gently tapped her forehead with her fingers.
Everything seemed to be logical and there were no flaws, but she still felt that Qi Ruoshui was very suspicious.
When she tested Mister Dan today, it could be seen that she really did not lie. She did not know about the Witch King of Western Liang at all. What she knew was what Qi Ruoshui wanted her to know, but only she knew how much Qi Ruoshui knew.
No matter from which aspect, Qi Ruoshui's performance was almost without any doubt. It was because of this that Ye Zhen could not rest assured.
She felt that Qi Ruoshui's appearance was the biggest problem, as well as her relationship with Qi Jin.
Ye Zhen remembered the words left by Huang Fuchen.
"Call Shen Yi." Ye Zhen said immediately.
After following Ye Yaoyao for so long, there should be a result.
Qi Jin did not leave the palace. She did not want to go with Qi Ruoshui. She would rather stay in the palace's imperial hospital than go back.
Dan Shi only learned today that Qi Ruoshui had been taken to the Priest Hall. She had been staring at Qi Ruoshui since she got on the carriage, as if she wanted to see a hole in her face.
"If you have anything to say, just ask." Qi Ruoshui said helplessly, "Is it interesting to look at me like this and not speak?"
"You never said that you were in Western Liang, nor did you say that you were locked in the Priest Hall," Dan Shi said.
Qi Ruoshui shook her head in amusement, "This is not a glorious thing. If you don't ask, I naturally won't say it. Am I the kind of person who complains to everyone?"
"You really don't like to complain, but you are not the kind of person who doesn't talk about the past." Dan Shi stared at her. "Qi Ruoshui, you are not using me to do something, are you?"
"Why would I use you?" Qi Ruoshui smiled. "When I write down the matter of the Priest Hall and give it to Lu Yaoyao, I will leave. Do you want to go with me or stay?"
Dan Shi said, "I have said goodbye to the Empress today, and I will leave the capital tomorrow. Anyway, I know nothing about Mr. Huang Fuchen except what you told me. It is useless to stay."
Qi Ruoshui glanced at her. "That's good."
"Medical Officer Qi came to you today. Have you two untied the knot in your heart?" Dan Shi asked. If that was the case, she was also happy for Qi Ruoshui.
"In this life, unless I die or she dies, the knot in her heart will not be untied." Qi Ruoshui said lightly, "She came to me just for the safety of Huang Fuchen. She just doesn't want my appearance to destroy her status and reputation in the capital."
"She is your mother. Do you still have a deep hatred that can't be untied? Don't think of her like that. She just cares about you." Dan Shi frowned and persuaded. She had seen the close relationship between the mother and daughter before. Even she knew a pair of mother and daughter who could talk to each other like this. Who would have thought that they would become enemies now?
Qi Ruoshui said lightly, "More than a deep hatred."
At this point, Dan Shi knew that it was useless to persuade her. She really didn't understand what could make Qi Ruoshui hate for so many years.
The carriage traveled for a long time and finally stopped when the sun was in the west.
Dan Shi got out of the carriage. "I will go and tidy up first. I will leave the capital tomorrow morning."
Qi Ruoshui originally wanted to go in with her. She glanced at the blurred figure flashing in the alley. She slowed down. "Then I won't see you off. We will meet again in the future."
"I hope we don't meet in this way again." Dan Shi said.
