Chapter 147: Unexpectedly
Imperial Physician Jiang and Imperial Physician Li never expected that their conversation with Liu Yaoying would be overheard, and when they left the small teahouse and walked towards the Xikelai Inn, the person who eavesdropped on them had already reported to Shopkeeper Liu in a room in the Xikelai Inn.

Knowing that the two imperial doctors were going to personally grab and deliver medicine to Liu Yaoying, Shopkeeper Liu looked panicked.
He received a lot of money from a palace lord in the capital (the pseudonym of Gong Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry), and if this matter is not completed, he may be in danger of his life.
Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but recall the situation that day.
Early that morning, when the shopkeeper Liu was directing the people to do things, two gorgeously dressed and majestic men walked in from outside the door, and as soon as they entered the door, they asked, "Who is the shopkeeper?"
Looking for the shopkeeper again.
Shopkeeper Liu was not angry when he heard this, and saw that the other party was not someone he knew, and he didn't want to have anything to do with him, so he immediately turned around and flashed into another room.
Unexpectedly, one of the people who came took out a golden waist card and said, "We are here on the orders of the imperial court to find your shopkeeper and let him come out quickly." ”
Everyone looked at the waist card that the man put on the table, and it didn't look like a fake, so they hurriedly asked people to call the shopkeeper Liu out.
When Shopkeeper Liu learned about it, he immediately came out to meet him tremblingly.
After determining that the person was the shopkeeper Liu, the man handed him the waist card to see.
Shopkeeper Liu took it over and looked at it carefully, and found that it was really true, so he knelt down and said, "I don't know what the two adults are doing to find the villain?"
He asked himself if he had done anything unreasonable, and he didn't understand why the court was looking for him.
The two men said, "It's a matter of urgency, let's talk." ”
Shopkeeper Liu vaguely sensed that something was wrong with his businessman's shrewdness, but he still honestly led them into the next room, and ordered the best tea and pastries to be served.
The two sat down and looked around, and then the older man spoke: "The imperial court is investigating Liu Qingsong, the assassin of Minzhou, do you know about this?"
Shopkeeper Liu was startled, and thought to himself - I am considered a well-informed person to ask myself, but I haven't heard of anything bad about Liu Qingsong.
Because it was inconvenient to put his beak, the shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, "Yes, the villain is not very familiar with him, and he doesn't know his situation very well." ”
If they wanted to get some news about Liu Qingsong from him, it was not impossible, but in order not to get into trouble, he still decided not to say anything.
The man glanced at his companion, who said, "We are not asking you for any information, we have only been asked to ask you for a small favor." ”
As he spoke, he opened his duffel bag and took out a bag of silver taels.
Looking at the white silver, Shopkeeper Liu felt that his momentum was suddenly half shortened.
Isn't his life's favorite thing to love money?
Although his heart moved, the shopkeeper Liu was still silent on the surface, wanting to see what they would say next.
Seeing this, the older man smiled and said, "In the next few days, two people in the capital will come here to see Liu Qingsong's daughter, and then you will send someone to keep an eye on them, and after they prescribe the medicine, you will give this to the person who dispenses the medicine in the pharmacy and ask him to add them to the prescription." ”
The man handed him a note as he spoke.
When the shopkeeper saw the names of several Chinese medicines listed on it, his eyes immediately widened round and wide.
Although he didn't know how to deal with medicine, he also knew that they wanted to prevent Liu Yaoying from recovering his health, so he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
"You're going to find a dispenser to work with and give him some money. The older man said.
Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly said: "This is nature. ”
After that, Shopkeeper Liu hesitated and asked, "This medicine ...... It's not going to kill anyone, is it?"
No matter how greedy he is for money, he will not dare to do anything that will kill people.
"No, it's just that she can't get better. The older man replied.
Shopkeeper Liu pondered for a long time, then smiled and asked, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of sending you, and why did he do this?"
Even if they want to deal with Liu Qingsong, there is no need to make a fuss about Liu Yaoying's condition.
He really didn't want to help with unclear things.
The two men from the capital exchanged glances again, and then the older one said, "It's Lord Gong, a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and now His Majesty's most trusted official, as for why he did this, we don't know why." ”
He glanced at Shopkeeper Liu and continued, "Anyway, you just have to do what you are told." Those two won't stay in Minzhou for long, and as soon as they leave, your mission will be complete. ”
"How long will they stay in Minzhou?" asked the shopkeeper Liu.
"Probably until the end of June. ”
That is, you won't be here for a month.
Shopkeeper Liu thought about it for a while, and then asked, "What if Miss Liu can't bear it and dies after drinking this medicine?"
If so, Liu Qingsong will definitely investigate the reason.
"These kinds of medicines are all thin medicinal roots, and they can't be seen in the prescription at all, and no one will find out. It was the older man who replied.
Shopkeeper Liu bowed his head and hesitated.
The younger one couldn't help it, and said in a deep voice: "If you are smart enough and don't want to put the whole family in danger because of this, then we advise you to accept this task happily." With your cleverness, you won't be able to complete the task. If you behave well, the palace lord will be rewarded after the deed. ”
"May I ask who is the palace lord?" after hesitating for a while, Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but ask.
The younger man then said with a heavy face: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that you don't have to worry about this?"
Shopkeeper Liu had no choice but to agree.
Now, what he did very secretly was discovered by the two imperial doctors, so what should I do next?
Shopkeeper Liu sat down in his position with a heavy heart, thinking about how to deal with it.
Since the matter had to be done in secret, he couldn't get anyone to talk to.
Judging from the current situation, he could never kill the two imperial doctors, and he couldn't let the two imperial doctors know that he was the executor of this matter, so how could he stop them from personally delivering medicine to Liu Yaoying?
Shopkeeper Liu pondered for a long time and didn't come up with a feasible solution, so he was so anxious and angry that he had a high fever in the evening.
He had never had such a high fever before, so he had to send for a doctor.
The doctor prescribed medicine for him, told him to take it for two days, and told him to rest well during these two days and not to be too tired.
The shopkeeper Liu, who was almost dazed, had to lie obediently at home for two days.
He couldn't think of a solution to the matter because of his dizziness, so he simply put it aside.
What he didn't expect was that Liu Yaoying's condition improved day by day after taking the prescriptions personally delivered to his door by the two imperial doctors in the past two days. Now, she is able to get out of bed and walk, and she sleeps at night without the pain she used to have.
