Wishful Things

Eighteen years ago, the imperial physician who passed away, could it be...

For some reason, the queen on the phoenix chariot clenched her fingers slightly.

After returning to Yukun Palace, she dismissed the irrelevant palace servants on the grounds that she was tired and needed a rest.

At such a time as usual, it was also when she was taking a nap, and the maid who was close to her body removed the cumbersome palace attire for her, and took off the beaded crown on her head.

Mother Jiang was bending over to spread out the thin quilt on the couch, when she suddenly heard an order: "Mom, help Bengong take out that box—"

box?

Mother Jiang was startled for a moment, but she quickly realized it. After responding in a low voice, she took out a wooden box carved with lotus branches from the box beside her.

This box is inconspicuous mixed with other small and large boxes used to hold jewellery.

However, after opening, apart from a pair of yellow croaker and double swallow jade pendants, there is another compartment under it, and in the compartment is a booklet.

The queen sat in front of the dressing table with her hair partly draped, and flipped through the slightly yellowed booklet, on which was a personal name. These people were either people from the palace, or former servants of Prince Yan's mansion, with different identities. The same, but there is only one thing in common...

That is, these were all the people her elder sister had contacted directly or indirectly before the accident, in other words - people who might be related to her elder sister's death.

This was stolen from her father before she left the cabinet.

Even though she knew that her father must have been checked one by one, she still checked them one by one after entering Beijing.

Some people have no real suspicions after repeated investigations, some have no clues after half of the investigation, and some are no longer alive.

Qiao Bing is the last one...

The queen's eyes were fixed on the name of the person under her command——there really was such a name!

Joe Bing...

This person was in charge of her elder sister's childcare matters back then!

Although it was never found out what the other party had done, it was a very coincidental coincidence that this person suddenly hanged himself in the Imperial Medical Office shortly after her sister's accident...

She also left a suicide note. She probably remembered that it seemed that she was ashamed and blamed for failing to heal the late emperor, so she chose to commit suicide and apologize.

Of course, she also suspected this person, but the person has been dead for many years, and there are no traces of many things.

Unexpectedly, after eighteen years, this name, which should have been forgotten long ago, was mentioned again by the emperor...

The queen's eyes flashed a few times, and for a while, many guesses appeared in her mind, intertwined with each other.

Regardless of whether she is careless or not, it is better to investigate this matter.

Inside and outside the palace, they have to secretly investigate...

The side of the dark court is not a place where one can easily set foot, and in order not to startle the snake, she must think of a way that is as appropriate as possible before asking someone to investigate.

As for the outside of the palace——

She wants to write a letter and have someone send it back to the palace to give to her brother.

The queen asked Nanny Jiang to prepare a pen and paper, but when she picked up the pen, she suddenly changed her mind.

Perhaps, she should leave this matter to A Yuan.

It's not that I can't trust my elder brother's ability to handle affairs. Although my elder brother is indeed quite mediocre at home and doesn't have much sense of presence, he is really inferior to his father, defeated by his son, and even a head shorter than Tianjiao now... But really When it comes to doing business, my brother is still very reliable.

But sometimes it's just too solid.

To put it bluntly, it is dead-brained.

For example, in the matter of listening to your father.

My father has always insisted that A Yuan has a special status, and before the overall situation is settled, he should not be allowed to know too much and intervene in many things-in his father's eyes, this is for the sake of safety and also to ensure A Yuan's safety.

But is there really "intervention" in some things?

In her opinion, great things must be done, but in life, many things that seem to have nothing to do with the success or failure of big things are equally important.

She thought that A Yuan must also think so.

Not long ago, the child had asked her a lot about elder sister's life in private, and after knowing that she was still secretly investigating the cause of elder sister's death, he had discussed with her—if there is any progress, please be sure to inform him.

At that time she agreed.

Since she agreed, as an aunt and an aunt, with these two identities, she naturally had to keep her word.

The queen made up her mind and wrote the pen.

...

Wu Chao found Xu Mingyi three days after receiving the secret letter.

In the Xuesheng teahouse, Wu Chao had already explained the general process of the incident.

Xu Mingyi listened intently, and kept thinking about what he said. When he heard that Qiao Bingying might be related to his biological mother's death, he nodded and said, "It is indeed possible."

Just now Wu Chao said that when his biological mother was still alive, there was always a medical girl who accompanied the former Princess Yan in the Palace of King Yan. The doctor girl was a trustworthy person sent by the Wu clan. It can be said to be extremely careful.

If it is an ordinary method, it is indeed impossible to escape the eyes of the people in Yan Wang's mansion.

It must be known that there are still unusual means in this world——

"If a person who is good at medical science and toxicology like Doctor Qiu uses some hidden tricks in diet or prescription, it is not impossible to hide it." Xu Mingyi said: "Some methods may not be revealed in a day or two. Hazards come, but after a long time, there are hidden dangers—”

I heard that Princess Yan's pregnancy was already aroused because of the death of the former emperor and the sudden change of tension in Beijing.

Later, when I heard the rumors about King Yan's accident, it led to the subsequent tragedy——

But judging from the few deeds of the former Princess Yan, Xu Mingyi can feel that she must be a woman with a strong will and a sense of proportion.

Just being stimulated, maybe it really wouldn't be such a change...

She thought that the Wu family must also think the same way, so they suspected from the very beginning that there must be something wrong with the accident of the former Princess Yan.

If someone had secretly used some insidious means to damage the fetal essence, and if she suffered a sudden and severe blow, it would undoubtedly be inevitable for the former Princess Yan to have an accident...

Wu Chao said: "Qiao Biying did have quite a reputation in his life. He was only thirty years old when he hanged himself, but he was already one of the best figures in the imperial medical office."

Xu Mingyi's eyes moved slightly: "This must be just the attainments in medical skills..."

In the palace, what can be revealed is also limited.

But the most important thing now is, why did the emperor mention this person's name when he had a headache, and asked him to feel his pulse?

In her opinion, even if she was delirious at the time, it was more likely to be similar to "speaking the truth after drinking" rather than nonsense.

And the rather weird box mentioned in the empress's letter...

Although the empress had clearly stated in the letter that the box could not hold a grown man, this did not prevent them from combining other existing clues and making a guess as boldly as possible——

The four eyes met, Wu Chao said slowly: "This person may still be alive."

Good evening, everybody.
