Qingzhi remembered that a few months ago he suspected that Wu Mei had something to do with Nioh's tricks, and he couldn't help but feel ridiculous, and quickly clarified: "No! It is a tonic medicine made by Aunt Wu, and it has nothing to do with what Ritsu Zichuan wants to investigate. ”

Everyone still looked a little uneasy.

Liu Yiyi frowned and said, "Speaking of which...... I heard that there is still an epidemic in other provinces, what a sin! ”

Sun Erniang also nodded: "Yes, I also heard about it outside the city a while ago." ”

The hot pot was gurgling and boiling, and no one put down the chopsticks for a while.

After eating, Ritsukogawa cleaned up in the kitchen, Aoeda stood aside and chatted with him, and the other people were very interested in not coming to disturb them.

Ritsu Zichuan lowered his head and washed the dishes, and said, "The epidemic is really too coincidental, if I go to inquire, you don't mind, right?" ”

Qingzhi thought of Wu Mei, thought for a moment and said, "Don't mind, after all, you need to find the answers to the doubts about fireworks and imperial doctors, not to mention that I really don't think Aunt Wu is involved." ”

Ritsuko Chuan wiped his hands dry and said, "The 'miracle doctor' who comes out every night to treat and save people should not be the initiator, but the suspicion of being used cannot be ruled out." ”

His voice sounded a little cold, Ritsu Zichuan has always been an innocent and harmless beautiful boy in front of her, but occasionally at this time, he will show a calm, even impersonal appearance.

Qingzhi was upset about Shen Mengxin's affairs for a while, remembering that every time the two met, she complained about Nioh, and she hadn't spoken properly for a long time, no wonder Ritsu Zichuan spoke so businesslike.

While she was thinking wildly, her cheeks warmed, and it turned out that Ritsu Zichuan reached out and touched her face, and Qingzhi jumped back and knocked over the pile of pots that had been washed just now.

Under the smiling gaze of Ritsu Zichuan, the thunderclap of the pot falling to the ground was extremely loud, and Dong Zhan shouted outside, 'What's wrong?!' The sound was also very loud.

Qingzhi put away the pots, and Ritsu Zichuan said a few words to Dong Zhan who came in, and let him go out again.

The kitchen has returned to that ambiguous and warm atmosphere.

Qingzhi used to like this kind of faint ambiguity with a beautiful boy, but recently it has become more and more awkward, after all, Ritsu Zichuan's warmth is because of the original body, not her, a chaotic traverser.

Ritsu Zichuan apologized in a low voice, Qingzhi hurriedly waved his hand and said that it was okay, and deliberately raised a businesslike attitude and asked, "By the way, you suspect that Aunt Wu is being used, how are you going to investigate this matter?" I'm in her hospital every day, and I won't do anything against her, but I can help you investigate. ”

"If necessary, I will tell you again, I will check how Grandma Ye Siniang contracted the epidemic now, if I can get that bottle of medicine, it will naturally be the best."

The two talked for a while and went back to the palace separately.

Aunt Wu's Courtyard.

Wu Mei was playing with the set of surgical instruments that Qingzhi had found in the room, and she later asked her, and even asked Qingzhi herself, to go to Dongda Temple to find a caravan to buy similar goods, but she couldn't find such a thing anymore.

Qingzhi is really lucky, and the people are simple...... So does Fluttershy, so does Shen Mengxin, so if you don't want to involve them, it's better not to.

She looked up at the little crow who was kneeling on the ground and trembling: "This medicine is very important, the prince knows that you will be severely punished for the whole family, it is better for you to end it yourself, so as not to implicate others." ”

The little crow trembled more and more, just stealing a bottle of medicine that nourishes qi and replenishes blood, how could Aunt Wu, who is gentle and indifferent by nature, say this?

She didn't believe it, but the old lady stepped forward, covered her mouth, and escorted her out.

Wu Mei sighed and asked the maid to call Ye Siniang over.

After asking the ins and outs of the matter, and asking where Grandma Ye was and where the medicine bottle was placed, Wu Mei said: "This pill is a tribute, stealing the emperor's things, how big is this crime, do you want to think about it?" ”

Ye Siniang was so frightened that she kowtowed again and again: "Auntie, help!" Xiao Yao said that it was just a batch made by my aunt, if we knew that it was for the Queen Mother, we wouldn't dare to steal it if we ate the bear's heart and leopard's guts! Auntie, you love us the most on weekdays, and my aunt is good, please help my aunt! ”

Bang bang kowtow, knock so much that the skin on his forehead broke, and blood flowed out.

Wu Mei sighed and said: "You girl has the most refreshing and kind personality, I see it in my eyes, so now I will tell you the truth, the prince will not spare you, it is useless for me to ask for mercy or not, it's just ...... Crow is young and ignorant, and she has committed suicide in fear of sin, and the lives of Greening and Fluttershy are on you. ”

Although Ye Siniang touched the fish at work on weekdays, her head was not stupid, her body stiffened in shock, and she asked in a dumb voice: "What is that pill?" Why are Twigs and Fluttershy implicated? ”

"It's an important thing, and no one can know about it." Wu Mei stared at her tightly.

Ye Siniang lowered her head and said for a long time: "Since I want to die, why bother others?" ”

"Good boy, it's not in vain that I look at you, your brother and I will take care of him privately."

Ye Siniang trembled and kowtowed to Wu Mei, frightened, still in disbelief, kneeling on the ground and unable to move, the old lady came over and helped her up, locked her in a small remote room, came back and asked Wu Mei: "I left her some water and steamed buns, the prince should have received the letter now, and he can come back tomorrow, right?" ”

Wu Mei closed his eyes and nodded.

She really didn't want to face this situation at the moment.

After the death of his father, his mother was weak and incompetent, mistrusted others, and mismanaged, and the family soon fell to the point where it could not be sustained, and His Royal Highness Nioh was lost......

Wu Mei knew that his appearance was mediocre since he was a child, and he would not be so confused that he thought that this sleeping prince really took a fancy to him, and when he asked him why, he only replied with a casual smile: "The idlers in my house don't owe you this one, I heard that your father has excellent medical skills, maybe you are too." ”

Wu Mei immediately became vigilant at that time, she was talented in studying medicine, diligent since she was a child, her father never hindered her, on the contrary, she had more guidance and support in private, but her mother firmly believed that 'a woman is virtuous if she is not talented', and she was not allowed to spread the word about Wu Mei's medical skills.

Could it be that the idle king in front of him who is a talented person actually knows about this?

However, Nioh only yawned lazily and said nonchalantly, "If you don't go, it's just that." ”

"I'll go! It's just that...... I do know a little bit about healing, so please don't stand in my way......"

"I will never, I will only support you to become more proficient in medical skills." When he said this, there was light in Nioh's eyes.

After being admitted to the palace, he really kept his promise and never shared a bed with her, and he had all the medical books, instruments, and medicines in the world, and arranged a medical hall to give her the opportunity to hide her identity and secretly go out to treat people in need.

Wu Mei had a group of little sisters when he was at home, and most of their wishes were to marry a happy and healthy life, and Wu Mei also agreed, thinking that it was a good life.

But her wish has never been like that, she has wanted to be able to cure diseases and save people since she was a child, and the happiness that healing others brings to her is incomparable to anything else.

So she was grateful to Nioh.

So when the epidemic first broke out in the capital, when he jokingly asked her to try to make a medicine that could make healthy people infected with the epidemic, she did it very obediently.
