After two days, Qi Ruoshui entered the palace again. She finally remembered some things about the Priest Hall. She wrote them down on a piece of paper.
Ye Zhen always believed that it would not be difficult for the shadow guards to investigate anything, not to mention that Qi Jin had been living in the capital. Originally, it should not be difficult to investigate the mother and daughter's affairs, but Xue Lin's investigation for two days still yielded no results.
She was even more curious about Qi Ruoshui.
"This is the Priest Hall of Western Liang." Ye Zhen saw that Qi Ruoshui had also drawn a palace. She looked over in surprise.
Qi Ruoshui said, "Yes, but I have escaped for many years. When I left, I only glanced at it in a hurry, so I can't remember it in detail."
Ye Zhen looked at the Priest Hall drawn by Qi Ruoshui. Although the painting was not exquisite and detailed enough, she could still see the appearance of the Priest Hall.
"How did you let the priest find you?" Ye Zhen asked curiously.
Qi Ruoshui frowned. A strange expression flashed across his face. "I don't know."
Ye Zhen caught the change in her expression. It seemed that it was not that she did not know, but that she did not want to say it.
"Then did you cure the Witch King's illness?" Ye Rou asked calmly.
"It can't be considered cured." Qi Ruoshui lightly shook her head, "The Old Witch King's illness can't be cured at all. However, even though it can't be cured, it can be said that I saved her life, so my days in the Priest Hall aren't too difficult. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the chance to escape."
Ye Rou frowned in thought. She had heard from Dan Shi that when Qi Ruoshui was in the medical center, she was already famous. Her medical skills were not below Qi Jin's. It was probably because she was so famous that the people from the Priest Hall took her away.
"You said that the current Witch King is the adopted daughter of the old Witch King. Have you seen her?" Ye Zhen asked.
Qi Ruoshui lowered his head and said, "No, I've only heard of her existence. I've never seen her before."
"So you don't know if she's sick." If he wasn't sick, why did he want to take Huangfuchen away? If it wasn't for this reason, she really couldn't figure out why the Witch King wanted to take Huangfuchen away.
"I have told you everything I know. I don't know anything else," Qi Ruoshui said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen looked at her deeply, "What about you and Medical Officer Qi?"
Qi Ruoshui fiercely raised her head, her eyes flashing with resentment and grief. "Your Highness, if you want to know, why don't you ask her?"
It seemed that even Imperial Physician Qi didn't want to talk about it. "Since you don't want to talk about it, then I won't ask. You can go back first. If I have any questions, I will summon you again."
"Yes." Qi Ruoshui bowed his head.
Not long after Qi Ruoshui left, Shen Yi came to see him.
"Niang niang, Ye Yaoyao came back not long after she left the capital." Shen Yi saluted and reported Ye Yaoyao's whereabouts to Ye Zhen.
Ever since Ye Yaoyao left the Overwatch Council, Shen Yi had people follow her. After she left the Overwatch Council, she left Jingdou. However, not long after, she returned. During this time, he did not find that she had come into contact with anyone. She had always been alone.
Ye Zhen listened to Shen Yi's recount of Ye Yaoyao's whereabouts. She shook her head and said, "She will certainly not return to the capital for no reason. She must have received some kind of hint."
The Witch King was able to relieve Lu Lingzhi's seven days of pain and rescue him from the Wilderness. If his guess was right, the Witch King must have some medical skills.
The Witch King, a woman, and medical skills.
It was as if something was about to burst out of her mind.
Surnamed Qi.
Qi Ruoshui.
However, without any evidence, she could not say that Qi Ruoshui was the Witch King.
"What happened to Ye Yaoyao after she returned to the capital?" Ye Zhen asked in a deep voice.
"She lived in a village in the suburbs. Niang niang, rest assured, my people have been following her." Shen Yi said.
Ye Zhen said, "If you find that she went to find Qi Ruoshui, come and tell me immediately."
She had no reason not to suspect Qi Ruoshui, but what she couldn't figure out was, if the Witch King was Qi Ruoshui, then why did she return to the capital?
Didn't Qi Ruoshui know that her appearance would arouse suspicion?
"Hong Ying, go and find Medical Officer Qi." Ye Zhen ordered.
Qi Jin was not in the palace. In order to prevent Qi Ruoshui from seeing Qi Zixi again, Ye Zhen had been guarding at home for the past two days. However, she did not see Qi Ruoshui again.
"Xiu Gu, take Xi 'er back to Ox Village." Qi Jin found Xiu Gu and said her request in a deep voice.
"Miss, why?" Xiu Gu did not understand. After entering Ox Village, it was not easy to come out again. Did Miss intend to never see Xi 'er again for the rest of her life?
Qi Jin said, "I can't help it, Xiu Gu. Ruoshui is no longer the Ruoshui of the past. She certainly did not come back to see Xi 'er this time. I am very worried that she will hurt the child. Let him go to Ox Village. The people in the village will look after him for me."
Xiu Gu's eyes were full of tears. "Miss, if we go, what will you do?"
"I want to stay. I have no face to go back to Ox Village." Qi Jin whispered, "Don't say anymore. Take advantage of the fact that Qi Ruoshui hasn't thought of Xi 'er yet."
"Miss!" Xiu Gu knelt down and kowtowed to Qi Jin. "We are leaving. You must take care of yourself."
Qi Jin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I will take care of myself. Don't talk too much to Xi 'er. Coax him to leave first."
If Xi 'er knew that he was leaving his grandmother, he would certainly not agree to go.
Xiu Gu endured her sadness and agreed.
Qi Jin held back her sadness and shed tears in the room. She wanted to sneak a look at Xi 'er. As soon as she walked out of the door, she heard that the palace wanted to invite her in.
Even if she went to see Xi 'er, it would not change the fact. Otherwise, she would not be able to bear to send Xi' er away.
Qi Jin gritted her teeth and followed Hong Ying into the palace.
"Your Highness, I don't know why you are looking for this lowly official." Qi Jin saluted, but in her heart, she understood that the Empress was looking for her. It should have something to do with Qi Ruoshui and Huang Fuchen.
"Medical Officer Qi, I have one thing that puzzles me. I hope you can give me an answer." Ye Zhen looked at Qi Jin and saw that her eyes were red and swollen. It seemed that she had cried. Since she met Medical Officer Qi, she had always felt that she was a strong and calm elder. What could make her cry was certainly not a trivial matter.
Qi Jin replied in a low voice, "Your Highness, please ask."
"I want to know what happened between you and my daughter," Ye Zhen said in a low voice. "Medical Officer Qi, there is still no clue about Master's affairs. Now, the only clue is the Priest Hall. Why was Qi Ruoshui taken to the Priest Hall? I do not believe that it was because of her medical skills. You are her mother. You should know best what happened that year."
"Your Highness, does this matter?" Qi Jin's face changed. How could she speak of that matter? It was like stabbing her heart with a knife.
Ye Zhen took a deep look at Qi Jin. "Because I don't want to suspect Qi Ruoshui, let alone kill innocent people."
Although Qi Jin hated Qi Ruoshui, she never thought that she would die. After all, she was her own daughter. When she heard Ye Zhen's words, her face turned pale. She knew that as long as Qi Ruoshui came back, some things would not be hidden.
