Qi Zixi's awakening undoubtedly put the stone in Qi Jin's heart at ease. She finally calmed down and began to think about why Qi Zixi touched something he shouldn't have. However, Xiu Gu kept saying that she didn't meet anyone else, which made Qi Jin more and more confused.
"Since he is fine, I will go back first." Qi Ruoshui said faintly to Qi Jin.
Because she didn't consider that Qi Zixi's congenital disease would be incompatible with her medicine, her plan was disrupted. It was not that she wasn't angry, but she couldn't get angry now.
She originally wanted to use this matter to blame Qi Jin for not taking good care of Qi Zixi and take Qi Zixi away. Anyway, she would need Qi Zixi in the future. It would be good to take him to Western Liang as soon as possible, lest Qi Jin ruin her plan again in the future.
Only by taking Qi Zixi away could she do the rest.
Qi Jin didn't intend to let Qi Ruoshui stay. She didn't want Xi 'er to know her life experience, so when she heard Qi Ruoshui take the initiative to leave, she immediately nodded. "Okay."
Ye Zhen was still suspicious of Qi Ruoshui. Today, she saw the change in her expression. She and Qi Ruoshui left the room one after another. "Are you going to stay in the capital?"
When Qi Ruoshui heard Ye Zhen's question behind her, she turned her head and smiled. "I'm afraid it won't be easy to stay."
"How did you meet Mr. Huangfu?" Ye Zhen asked.
"We met by chance." Qi Ruoshui whispered. It took her half a year to find out Huangfu Chen's whereabouts. She finally found him, but before she could tell him her purpose, he had already refused her. It was as if he knew that she was investigating him and knew what she wanted to do.
No matter what method she used, she couldn't get Huangfu Chen to agree to what she wanted to do. In this case, she had to find someone to accompany him.
This person was Lu Yaoyao.
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows faintly. Obviously, she didn't believe Qi Ruoshui's accidental encounter. "How could there be such a coincidence?"
Qi Ruoshui smiled, as if unwilling to say too much. "Yes, we haven't seen each other for many years. I almost didn't recognize him. He walked outside almost every day of the year. It's really not easy to meet him. He wanted me to go back to the capital, but I didn't dare to come back at that time."
He didn't dare to come back because he was afraid of facing Qi Jin and Qi Zixi.
"Why don't you go back to the capital with Mr. Huangfu?" Ye Zhen asked. She still pretended not to know anything in front of Qi Ruoshui.
Qi Ruoshui raised her eyes and looked at Ye Zhen. "I didn't come back because of the knot in my heart. A 'Chen didn't come back probably because he didn't dare to."
Ye Zhen frowned slightly, vaguely understanding Qi Ruoshui's meaning. She smiled faintly and said to Qi Ruoshui, "If you stay in the capital, would you like to help me in the clinic?"
"What?" Qi Ruoshui was stunned. She was really surprised that Lu Yaoyao wanted her to work in the clinic. Didn't she have any doubts about her?
"The reopening of the clinic is a time when manpower is needed. I heard that you used to be a student of the Medical Center, and your medical skills are excellent. If you can help in the clinic, it will be much easier for me." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
Qi Ruoshui almost sneered out loud. She was the Witch King of Xiliang Kingdom, yet she was working as a doctor in a small clinic?
"It is my honor to be promoted by your highness, but …" Qi Ruoshui glanced behind Ye Zhen. Qi Ruoshui estimated that Qi Jin would not let her stay.
"As long as you want to go to the clinic, you don't have to worry about anything else." Ye Zhen said lightly.
"Your highness, let me think about it for two days." Qi Ruoshui said, then looked at Ye Zhen with hesitation. "Your highness, is there any news about A 'Chen?"
At the mention of Huangfu Chen, Ye Zhen's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. It had been so many days, but there was still no news of him.
"Actually …" Qi Ruoshui looked at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen narrowed her eyes slightly. "Actually what?"
Qi Ruoshui gritted her teeth and shook her head vigorously. "Nothing, I still have something to do. Please forgive me, your highness."
After that, she turned and hurried away.
Ye Zhen looked at her back doubtfully. Is this Qi Ruoshui still hiding something?
"Your highness!" Qi Jin came out from behind. "Do you still want Qi Ruoshui to go to the clinic?"
"Yes." Ye Zhen nodded. This way, she could investigate Qi Ruoshui more directly.
Qi Jin had just calmly thought for a long time. She did not want to suspect Qi Ruoshui for the cause of Xi 'er's illness, but she knew her daughter too well. Could she believe that it had nothing to do with her?
"Your highness, I'm afraid this is not good." Qi Jin said. She was suspicious of Qi Ruoshui, but she did not dare to tell her suspicions to the empress. Even if she hated Qi Ruoshui for leaving Qi Zixi without saying goodbye, deep in her heart, she felt guilty. If she had not never mentioned Huangfu Jiulan, if she had not deliberately said that he was dead, how could Qi Ruoshui have done wrong?
Yes, she was the one at fault, so it was inevitable that she would protect Qi Ruoshui in her heart.
Ye Zhen said, "This is just a suggestion. As for whether Qi Ruoshui will agree or not, let her decide."
Qi Jin felt that Qi Ruoshui would definitely not agree. She bowed to Ye Zhen. "Your highness, you are the savior of Xi 'er. This lowly official really does not know how to thank you."
"Medical Officer Qi, you are treating me like an outsider." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "It's a good thing that Xi 'er has woken up. You have to pay attention to your health. He will be better in a few days."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Qi Jin said sincerely.
Ye Zhen left two packets of medicine and asked Qi Jin to boil it for him once a day. Then, she prepared to return to the palace.
In the carriage, Ye Zhen was still thinking about Qi Ruoshui who appeared at the Qi residence today.
"Do you see anything different about Qi Ruoshui?" Ye Zhen's fingers gently tapped on the wall of the carriage.
Hong Ying said, "She looks no different from an ordinary woman, but …"
"But there is no fear in her eyes. She has no fear of me at all, let alone respect me." Ye Zhen said faintly.
If Qi Ruoshui was really an ordinary woman who escaped from the priest's hall, she should not be like this when she saw the empress.
"Your highness, are you suspecting her?" Hong Ying asked.
Ye Zhen had always suspected Qi Ruoshui, but she let Shen Yi follow her for so long, but there was no result at all. Either she was being paranoid, or Qi Ruoshui's disguise was better than she thought.
"When she mentioned Master Huangfu today, her expression was too strange. I suspect that she is still hiding something." Ye Zhen said faintly, "Maybe we will know who she is soon."
If she could not find out, she would let Qi Ruoshui live in the Overwatch Council for the time being.
