"Second brother!" Xia Qingyao exclaimed and immediately rushed towards Xia Xingqian, but before he could get close, Cao Qianhu stretched out his arm to stop him.

"Wait a minute, let me check it out before making a decision."

Cao Qianhu then ordered people to look around the house, and even used the scabbard to lift up the bed curtains and sheets, cutting the air under the bed several times.

Xia Qingyao said anxiously: "My second brother has an old disease. If he is not treated, he may not get well. Please show mercy to Cao Qianhu and let me treat my second brother first."

"Oh, it only takes a moment and a half to get cured, or is this woman like you actually an accomplice of the assassin?"

As soon as these words came out, Xia Ziming was so frightened that he jumped up on the spot, rushed forward and covered Xia Qingyao's mouth.

"Sir, please calm down, I have no intention of doing so."

Xia Qingyao frowned and broke away from Xia Ziming's hand.

Xia Ziming looked at Xia Qingyao's side face and frowned tightly. He used to think that she was soft-tempered, but recently whenever big things happened, she was frighteningly tough. Even when he didn't dare to show his strength, she could calm down.

Get things done in your spare time.

Now that Jin Yiwei has come to visit, she still dares to bargain with the Jin Yiwei people.

This girl looks weak, but inside she has a very tough temperament. Wouldn't such a temperament easily bring trouble to the Xia family?

"Sir, there is nothing unusual in the room." Someone from the Jinyi Guards reported back.

Cao Qianhu nodded, stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation: "Please."

Xia Qingyao immediately rushed to the bedside, brought the silk lamp and placed it on the small table beside the bed. Xia Xingqian's forehead was covered with cold sweat, blue veins popped out at the corner of his forehead, his eyes were closed tightly and his brows were furrowed.

, clenching his teeth so hard that the muscles of his jaw became tense.

He clearly had a recurrence of his headache!

"Sure enough, the old disease has relapsed," Xia Qingyao turned around and said, "Cao Qianhu, can you allow my maid to fetch my medical kit?"

Cao Qianhu looked at Xia Qingyao for a long time, seemed surprised by her boldness, and raised his hand to the entourage behind him.

Immediately, a man walked out quickly.

Xia Qingyao checked his pulse worriedly. With this move, she almost screamed. Xia Xingqian's body seemed to have a few more qi colliding with each other, and she also smelled a faint smell of blood and blood from his body.

The poisonous aura she left behind for King Jin.

Ordinary people cannot smell this smell, but Xia Qingyao's five senses have been sharp since she was a child, and she is even more sensitive to smells, especially when it comes to medical poisons.

Xia Qingyao suppressed the doubts in her heart. It seemed that Cao Qianhu had not noticed anything unusual.

She immediately tucked Xia Xingqian's quilt, intending to block all smells.

Not long after, Liu Ying rushed over under the leadership of Jin Yiwei, carrying a medical kit.

Xia Qingyao immediately took out the silver needle and applied it to Xia Xingqian with neat movements. The faint sound of phoenix chirping sounded in the room, which immediately shocked Cao Qianhu and others.

"This is……"

Xia Ziming was sour and proud, "This is Fengming Acupuncture, passed down from my Xia family's ancestors."

Cao Qianhu nodded, his attitude was much more relaxed than before, and he cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Xia, I have offended many people today."

Seeing Cao Qianhu's change of attitude, Xia Ziming immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He understood that the Xia family had been cleared of suspicion, and quickly returned the favor: "Cao Qianhu is too polite."

Xia Qingyao put a needle in his hand, "May I ask Cao Qianhu, what kind of big event is it today that made Jin Yiwei personally go out to arrest people?"

Cao Qianhu saw Xia Qingyao's graceful and neat movements of applying needles, and listened to the sound of the needles, and knew that she was really capable. None of those like them who were licking blood on the tip of a knife needed help from a miracle doctor.

?

"Since there is no problem with the whole family, I won't lie about it. Tonight, a strongman came to Prince Jing's residence to assassinate Prince Jing, injuring more than fifty guards. Even the leader of the imperial army failed to stop him and injured him.

Prince Jing has escaped!"

"What? Such a thing could happen?" Xia Ziming exclaimed, "This is at the feet of the Emperor. What kind of villain can be so bold!"

Xia Qingyao grasped the key point of his words, "Leader of the Forbidden Army?"

Cao Qianhu looked at the back of Xia Qingyao who was applying acupuncture quickly, and he couldn't help but admire this woman. She could perform acupuncture while asking sharp questions. Compared with Xia Ziming, a timid imperial doctor, Cao Qianhu

, this female doctor seems to be even more powerful.

"You don't know something. Didn't Prince Jing's Mansion have a leak a few days ago? When the emperor heard about it, Lei Lei was furious and specially arranged for the imperial army to guard it to prevent the other party from attacking again. But I didn't expect that this time it still failed.

Stop the assassin."

It seems that Murong Zheng set a fire in order to save her and lured away the imperial army.

"Is this so? It seems that the emperor was furious after hurting Prince Jing, so he asked everyone to take action." Xia Qingyao responded casually.

Cao Qianhu sighed, "Our duties are ours," and he handed over his hands again, "I have disturbed your house today, and we will continue to search for assassins, so I take my leave."

Xia Ziming hurriedly said: "I don't dare, I will send Cao Qianhu away."

Xia Qingyao also stood up and was rude to Cao Qianhu: "Thank you very much to Cao Qianhu today. I still need to diagnose and treat my brother, so I won't send him far away."

"Stay." Cao Qianhu said politely and retreated with his men, eager to search the next house.

The Xia family had a false alarm and everyone went back to their rooms. Xia Qingyao and Liu Ying stayed with Xia Xingqian.

Looking at Xia Xingqian with her eyes closed tightly, and thinking about the smell of blood on his body and the smell of the medicine she personally administered to Prince Jing, it seemed that some truth had surfaced.

When she was ten years old, she picked up twelve-year-old Xia Xingqian under a cliff.

At that time, in addition to being covered in injuries from a fall, he also broke his head. These injuries are difficult to treat, but the most difficult to treat are the injuries to his body since childhood.

At that time, Xia Ziming only gave Xia Xing a brief look, then shook his head and said that he was dying. But she refused to give up and could only treat him while groping.

Xia Xingqian had many scars on his body, which showed that he had been subjected to inhuman abuse since he was a child. Moreover, she could tell from his pulse that he had been fed a lot of medicinal materials since he was a child, which seemed to improve his health.

People's physical fitness helps people achieve martial arts quickly.

It’s just that the people who give the medicine don’t understand the relationship between the medicines, and many medicines have conflicting properties.

This caused Xia Xingqian to suffer from headaches all year round.

Xia Xingqian couldn't remember the past because of a head injury.

But Xia Qingyao knew that Xia Xingqian had kung fu in him, and his martial arts were very strong. However, Xia Xingqian loved reading, was tall and thin, had a gentle and polite temperament, and looked like a weak scholar.

, but hid his true face.

Now such a big thing happened in Prince Jing's Mansion...

No matter what, we must not let the second brother be exposed.

Xia Qingyao pursed her lips and pulled out the needle for Xia Xingqian.

But as soon as her hand moved, Xia Xingqian started to tremble all over. She opened her eyes suddenly and turned white. She opened her mouth and grabbed with both hands. She screamed in pain, but it was just a low roar.

"Second brother!" Xia Qingyao exclaimed and hurriedly applied acupuncture on him again.

Liuying was frightened by Xia Xingqian's appearance, "Miss, is the second master okay?"

The sweat on Xia Qingyao's forehead flowed down the bridge of his nose, and his eyes turned red: "No, I won't let anything happen to him!"

Liuying nodded quickly.

At this moment, Xia Ziming's voice came from outside the door: "Qingyao, Qingyao, the people around the Crown Prince of Prince Chen are here."
