Chapter 160 Zihu
On the second day, Bai Sui'an personally drove the carriage to take Lin Rongle to the town. She intended to go to Baili Mo to discuss the events of the past few days with her.
Baili Mo has been in the town all the time and should be able to notice any movement outside. By discussing with her, we should be able to find some useful information.
Driving into the town in a carriage, Bai Sui'an keenly sensed that something was wrong with the town.
In the past, there were spies in the town, and they were basically people arranged by Feiyun Department Store. But this time, Bai Sui'an felt more secret observations.
Could it be that Feiyun Department Store has added eyeliner?
Bai Sui'an didn't investigate further and drove to Baili Mona as usual.
After hearing about the situation in the palace, Baili Mo pondered for a long time, as if he had listed all the possibilities in his mind one by one.
"From what I know about His Majesty, he's a cunning man who won't fall for traps easily. I think this is just a trap he's set, but the people of Tianxuan are very cunning, so I can't be sure that His Majesty is really okay."
Now that Baili Mo knew Bai Sui'an's identity, she smiled and said, "I didn't mean to offend you. I know your character very well, otherwise I wouldn't have helped rescue His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Bai Sui'an shook his head: "I know. In this situation, what do you think we should do to prevent those people's next plan?"
"He attacked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince several years ago, and he hasn't attacked His Royal Highness even after being imprisoned for so long. He must have other motives. Now he's like this..."
Baili Mo paused for a moment before saying,
"As long as the master of the Eastern Palace is away, someone will want to take his place. We are facing internal and external troubles. Even if Your Majesty has set up a trap, it won't completely eliminate the problem. We must quickly heal His Highness and have him return to the Imperial City to take charge."
Originally, I was going to wait for Ning Heyuan to come back and check Ye Lingchi's eyes, but now he is being detained in the palace, so it is not easy to rush back.
Fortunately, when we planned to open the clinic, we mentioned inviting Ning Heyuan's fellow apprentices to come and take charge. Now they should all be at the residence arranged by Cheng Xu.
"I'll go get some good doctors to come home and take a look. There must be a way to cure him."
Bai Sui'an left Baili Mansion and headed straight for Feiyun Department Store. She didn't know the doctors' addresses, so she could only ask Cheng Xu.
It seems that Feiyun Department Store has a distinguished guest today, and Cheng Xu is not at his usual place where he settles the bill.
Bai Sui'an asked A Yan and found out that Cheng Xu was entertaining guests upstairs.
He originally wanted to ask for an address, and Bai Sui'an thought it would be the same if he asked A Yan.
But after hearing her question, A Yan shook his head: "Madam, this was bought by Uncle Cheng himself. I don't know where those people live. Let me take you upstairs to ask."
"Isn't he entertaining guests? Why don't I go out for a walk and come back when he's done."
"It's just a few words, it's nothing serious."
A Yan insisted on taking Bai Sui'an upstairs, so she followed him.
There were several separate rooms upstairs, and A Yan led Bai Suian to the innermost one.
A Yan knocked on the door, and Cheng Xu's voice immediately came from inside: "Come in!"
After taking a deep breath, Ayan opened the door.
He didn't even look inside. After the door opened, he stepped aside and invited Bai Sui'an in.
The room was filled with the distinct aroma of tea. Cheng Xu sat very straight, and opposite him was a man in a black brocade robe.
His facial contours were distinct, and his sharp jawline gave him a cold and stern look. His hair was streaked with gray, and he looked to be in his forties.
The man turned his eyes to Bai Sui'an, raised the teacup in his hand, raised the corners of his mouth, looked kind, but exuded a solemn aura.
He looked somewhat familiar, but Bai Sui'an didn't think he had seen this man before.
Cheng Xu was sweating profusely from the heat. Before Bai Sui'an could speak, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Miss Bai, you've come at the perfect time. I have a client who needs to see you for treatment."
Bai Sui'an was puzzled: "Uncle Cheng, you must be mistaken. I came here to ask you to help find a doctor. I don't know how to treat people."
The man was still sipping tea leisurely, ignoring Bai Sui'an's gaze.
Cheng Xu coughed lightly and said, "This, this is the person Mr. Ning sent here. He said that this person's illness can only be cured by you, so he came to find me."
Bai Sui'an retracted his gaze and said, "This distinguished guest looks radiant and doesn't seem to be ill."
Cheng Xu cast several glances at the man opposite him.
The man finally spoke, "My name is Zihu, Madam, you can just call me by my name. A while ago, I met Doctor Ning. He felt it was fate, so he took my pulse and told me I was poisoned. If I'm left alone, I'll die suddenly in a while."
"Unfortunately, he was busy with important matters and couldn't help me. So he asked me to come here to find you. She said that since you had treated people like this before, you would definitely be able to cure me, so I came here."
Ning Heyuan is in the palace now, so it's unlikely that he would leak the news to others if he encountered danger.
"I won't help others easily." Bai Sui'an gave the other person a warning first.
Zihu placed a gold ingot on the table without delay and said, "This is the money I paid for my wife's treatment. If you can really cure me, I can give you ten more."
Bai Sui'an raised his eyebrows.
Oh my god, it’s a gold ingot?
This is a truly distinguished guest!
She would definitely not bow down for money in the past, but she is not sure now.
With more money he earned, Ye Lingche could use less money from Feiyun Department Store to open a shop, and there would be less risk of being discovered.
But Bai Sui'an would not trust this person easily.
She had to find a doctor anyway, so she said, "Uncle Cheng, could you please ask one of Doctor Ning's fellow disciples to come over for me? Let them take Mr. Zihu's pulse. After that, I'll have him come to my house to treat my family."
Cheng Xu breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been rescued, then stood up and said, "I'll go get someone right away."
He wanted to leave as if escaping, and Bai Sui'an also wanted to follow him.
Zihu said, "Why don't you stay here with me and wait for the doctor? It won't be boring if we wait together."
He intended to strike up a conversation with Bai Sui'an. Although it was all a coincidence, Bai Sui'an could sense Zihu's deliberateness.
"Then I'll wait here." Bai Sui'an sat down.
"Then I'll go down and ask A Yan to bring up another pot of tea." Cheng Xu left this sentence and ran out.
The remaining two people were speechless and looked at each other for a while.
The noble aura that Zihu exudes from the inside out highlights his extraordinary identity.
Bai Sui'an's calmness also tells Zihu that she is not afraid.
Finally, it was Zihu who spoke first. He said, "I usually love to travel and enjoy the scenery. This is my first time here. Does Madam have any recommendations for places to visit?"
Bai Sui'an shook his head: "No, I don't like going out on weekdays. I don't know the surrounding area and don't know what fun things to do."
Zihu nodded and asked, "Just now I heard Madam say that she wanted to find a doctor for her family. What's wrong with them?"
Every word he said was a test.
Bai Sui'an said, "We just called the doctor, and he hasn't seen me yet, so we don't know what the illness is."
She had a smile on her face, but a cold glint in her eyes: "My family is no different from ordinary families. Why don't you tell me about your experiences while traveling, Mr. Zihu? I'll hear something new."
