Now is not the time to blame them. Mingze was also troubled; they had to find out the cause of this illness as soon as possible. Each time His Majesty woke up, his madness deepened.
I didn't even dare to let His Majesty wake up. If I lost my grip for just a moment and he bit his tongue, the entire Ming Family would be insufficient to accompany the lord in death.
Shi Yun glared at him.
Mingze, however, spoke defiantly, "You must be cursing me for being selfish in your heart, Shi Yun. Don't forget, you're not alone either. Shi Yuan has finally come before you; you can't act recklessly like before."
Shi Yun felt guilty. After several days of continuous work, he had indeed forgotten that there was still a debt collector at home.
He turned to Qi Xiaomian and asked if there were any skilled doctors near Jingjing City.
Finding someone was the specialty of The Office of Censors.
Qi Xiaomian had already guessed that Master Xiang would ask this question. He took out a stack of papers from his sleeve and handed them to Shi Yun.
Mingze pointed at him and laughed, "You little rascal, you actually have times when you don't want to stand out. You wait until we ask."
Qi Xiaomian defended himself, "At critical moments, to prevent outsiders from taking advantage of the situation, the palace is not a place anyone can enter casually. Even though we've checked these doctors over and over again, I still can't make up my mind. After all, Zheng Moru is a cautionary tale; if he were still alive..."
Shi Yun scoffed, "He won't live much longer."
If it weren't for His Majesty's sudden appearance, according to their previous plan, Zheng Moru would have been executed by now, allowing him to enjoy a few more days.
At that moment, an ordinary-looking eunuch hurriedly ran over, moving briskly. Qi Xiaomian recognized him at a glance; he was a member of the Dragon Guard and somewhat familiar.
Cai Zhuo had previously dispersed them to search the palace quietly. With such urgency, could it be that something had been discovered?
The eunuch whispered a few words into Cai Zhuo's ear, causing Cai Zhuo's expression to change. He waved him off and walked towards the Two Lords. To avoid attracting too much attention, he skipped formalities and quietly instructed the three of them to follow him.
After turning a corner and walking a hundred steps, they arrived at a familiar place—the Diligent Hall where His Majesty worked after court sessions. On the table lay a black box covered in dirt.
Cai Zhuo angrily opened the box, revealing a doll filled with needles. The doll had a birth chart attached to it; Qi Xiaomian immediately recognized it as belonging to His Majesty.
Though the Two Lords were not qualified to know the emperor's birth details, they could guess.
Shi Yun frowned and asked, "Your Majesty became ill because of this?"
Cai Zhuo replied that they had just discovered it and hadn't investigated further yet.
Shi Yun added that it might be necessary to trouble Lord Yong for a trip.
Cai Zhuo then asked Qi Xiaomian if Miss Sang could also be invited into the palace.
In truth, it wasn't necessary. Qi Xiaomian had carefully examined the doll; while it looked intimidating with all those needles, it was just an ordinary doll. As a member of the demon clan, his perception in this regard would not be mistaken.
However, these words are difficult to explain to outsiders. When Sang Qingxiao entered the palace, he only mentioned trying to extend an invitation.
At the Small Tavern, Sang Qingxiao nodded readily. Qi Xiaomian, however, expressed his apologies, saying that he hadn't intended to involve him. To him, that child was merely a pawn in the power struggle surrounding the emperor's illness.
Yet, I selfishly want to seek your help; more precisely, I want Old Vine's assistance. The cause of the emperor's illness must be uncovered.
It's fine; I'm curious as well. Besides, I've long been part of this game and enjoy going with the flow and stirring up trouble. If I happen to get inspired and improvise on the spot, you’ll need to catch me and then smooth things over afterward.
