Qi Zixi's condition was still the same as before, it was because he ate something by mistake that made his condition aggravated, Ye Zhen took the medicine for him again, and then went to the nearby teahouse to talk with Qi Jin after seeing his complexion improved.
"Medical Officer Qi, after I left, who else has come to visit Xi'er?" The injuries were caused by human beings twice in a row, and Ye Zhen had to doubt the people around Qi Jin.
"No, the subordinate officials have been guarding them all the time." Qi Jin's face was gloomy. She didn't know that someone was deliberately harming Xi'er, but what did that person mean? If you want Xi'er to die, there is no need to torture him like this.
Ye Zhen glanced at her, "Even if I didn't say some things, you should know it in your heart. Xi'er's illness will not recur for no reason, and you have never offended anyone. If you think about it carefully, you should know who else would do that to him."
Qi Jin said, "After you left yesterday, the official closed the door to thank the guests. There are only Xiugu and a few servants at home. They have been with the official for many years and will not harm Xi'er. Besides, except for Xiugu , no one has ever approached Xi'er."
"Then this matter is hard to figure out." Ye Zhen said with a frown.
"I will investigate clearly." Qi Jin said in a low voice. She had always suspected that it was related to Qi Ruoshui. However, after Qi Ruoshui left yesterday, she never came back, unless she had the ability to sneak in in the middle of the night. Prescribe medicine to Xi'er.
midnight
Qi Jin's face changed slightly, "Will someone deliberately come to harm Xi'er in the middle of the night?"
"What's the purpose?" Ye Zhen asked.
"... I don't know." Qi Jin was speechless, Xi'er is Qi Ruoshui's son, would she treat Xi'er like this
Ye Zhen raised her eyes and glanced at her, "Since you can't rest assured, then take Xi'er to the Royal Hospital, at least it won't be easy to do what you want to do in the palace."
"Thank you, ma'am." Qi Jin saluted gratefully. If she wanted to avoid Qi Ruoshui, taking Xi'er to the palace was the best choice.
"Medical officer Qi, Xi'er is already like this, have you ever wondered who caused it?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
Qi Jin lowered her head with a pale face, "Xiaguan... I have no idea."
Ye Zhen took a deep look at her, "Okay then, since Xi'er has woken up, I still want to go to the medical workshop to have a look."
"Yes..." Qi Jin felt guilty. Her guilt against Qi Ruoshui made her unable to express her doubts. Once she spoke out, she had a premonition that something she could not even imagine would happen.
Seeing that she still refused to say anything, Ye Zhen didn't want to force it, as there was only so much she could help.
Ye Zhen left Qi's house and sat in the carriage, she felt a strange feeling in her heart, who would attack Qi Zixi? What is the purpose
"Ma'am, shall we go to the medical workshop?" Hongying asked in a low voice.
"Well, let's go and have a look." Ye Zhen said.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and the medical workshop was still some distance away, but it wasn't too far away. It was almost enough to walk through the street.
"Your Majesty, it seems to be Qi Ruoshui in front of you." Hongying who was sitting by the window seemed to see a familiar figure through the curtain, she raised the curtain to take a look, it was actually Qi Ruoshui.
Ye Zhen thought of Qi Zixi, and thought of many things that confused her, she raised her eyes to Qi Ruoshui who was wandering aimlessly along the street, and said in a low voice, "I want to see you and have a few words with Qi Ruoshui."
The carriage stopped beside Qi Ruoshui, Hongying opened the curtain and looked at her, "Miss Qi, our wife invites you to get in the carriage."
Qi Ruoshui's face was still blank, and he nodded after a moment of daze. He helped Hongying's hand to get on the carriage, and when she saw Ye Zhen inside, she showed a surprised expression, "Your Majesty?"
Ye Zhen looked at her with a smile, "Why are you here?"
"I..." Qi Ruoshui smiled awkwardly, "I wanted to visit Xi'er, but I didn't dare to go in, so I just walked on this street."
"Why don't you dare to see Xi'er?" Ye Zhen asked, in her opinion, Qi Ruoshui is not like the kind of person who would not dare to do anything.
Qi Ruoshui looked up at Ye Zhen, "Why is your mother here? Could it be... Could it be that Xi'er's illness has returned?"
"It's a little repetitive, but it's not a serious problem." Ye Zhen said softly, looking at Qi Ruoshui lightly, "Xi'er is your son, don't you even have the courage to see it?"
"This... probably because of my mood." Qi Ruoshui said helplessly, "I always feel guilty when I see you."
Ye Zhen looked at Qi Ruoshui seriously. This woman is the most beautiful she has ever seen. Even Ye Yaoyao is a bit less charming than her. If this kind of woman is not in the priest's hall, she can't do it in any other place. Let's be anonymous, Qi Ruoshui is not the kind of person who is willing to live in the backcountry. Since she is not in the priest's hall, where has she been all these years
"It's been so many years, you haven't come to see Xi'er, so where have you been?" Ye Zhen asked.
Qi Ruoshui lowered his head and didn't answer, "I... I feel bad after seeing him."
"It's an adult who did something wrong, but the child has to bear the consequences?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and asked, she didn't feel that Qi Ruoshui had any deep feelings for Xi'er. She insisted on giving birth to Xi'er for revenge. As a mother, she must still have feelings for her child.
But although she had guilt on her face, there was no emotion in her eyes.
Qi Ruoshui looked at Ye Zhen in surprise, "Mother, you..."
"I know the backgrounds of you and Xi'er." Ye Zhen said flatly.
"She actually told you!" Qi Ruoshui's face turned green and pale, as if he had suffered some great humiliation.
Ye Zhen saw that the car was approaching the medical workshop, and there happened to be a tea house by the side of the road, it looked quite quiet, and it was a suitable place to talk.
"Stop by the side of the road." Ye Zhen instructed Hongying, "I have something to say to Miss Qi."
Qi Ruoshui frowned and glanced at Ye Zhen, then silently followed her out of the car.
Hongying was very vigilant against Qi Ruoshui, and when the empress wanted to talk to her in the teahouse, she naturally followed her every step, and seeing that Xue Lin and Wu Chong were in the dark, she felt relieved.
With Xue Lin and Wu Chong, Qi Ruoshui couldn't pull off any tricks he wanted.
Hongying has already found a wing room on the second floor by the window, which is convenient for Xue Lin and Wu Chong to watch outside, and also allows the empress and Qi Ruoshui to talk at ease.
Ye Zhen's conversation with Qi Ruoshui must involve her life experience, so she didn't let Hongying in.
"Niangniang..." Hongying looked at her worriedly.
"It's okay." Ye Zhen nodded lightly, since she wanted to know the purpose of Qi Ruoshui's arrival in the capital, she had to talk to her alone.
