C720 (1/2)

As the autumn rain ended, Duan Chengxuan and Duan Chengrui led their different armies and left. The entire Sky Flame City became quiet because of the approaching winter.

Beneath it, countless people and men were operating quietly.

He Jin handed over a handwritten letter to the shop assistant. On the letter were the words, ”Send it to this place and tell them to take action the moment you receive the letter. Do not let anyone know.”

”Yes.” The clerk hurried to do so.

The other doctors looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. He Jin took out another list and handed it to them. ”Send someone to collect the herbs on this list. These days, I will no longer seek medical attention. I will only say that I am bedridden.”

All the doctors nodded, thinking that He Jin was going on another trip.

However, he merely brought his medicine chest along with him as he arrived at the Qi Residence with another letter. The moment he said the name, he was invited to enter, passing through a crisscrossing corridor and coming to Qi Rou's study recently to see her put a snow-white velvet bag by her side. There was even a letter written by He Jin.

He Jing chuckled and said, ”I didn't expect that this letter would actually arrive.”

”Gu Liuyan is very smart.” Many of her subordinates who were transporting the goods had received help from He Jin, not to mention that Gu Liuyan had always respected this senior, she had even looked through the medicinal formulas that the two of them had exchanged. With just a glance, she could tell that the words on this letter came from He Jin.

When the two of them met, they knew that it was all Gu Meiyan's arrangement.

”She hopes that you can bring me to the palace to treat His Majesty's illness. She worries that there's something wrong with the imperial hospital, and similarly, this letter was written crookedly by herself, saying that we must personally deliver it to the emperor.”

”You don't know the contents?” Qi Rou raised her eyebrows and held the letter in her hand, ”This letter even mentioned a prescription …” ”So this prescription is …”

”This is another piece of the emperor's antidote. If any of these letters are lost, she has to ensure that the emperor is not poisoned to death.” With a dark expression, He Jin placed another crooked note on the table. ”This is what she left behind after she left. Tell me, she has both your hands prepared.”

”It's fine if this letter doesn't reach me, but you should be very safe.” Qi Rou couldn't help but laugh.

”Someone used to impersonate me.” He Jin also opened his mouth.

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, the two looked at each other before exchanging a few pieces of paper with a solemn expression on their faces.

After He Jin's handwriting, there were indeed some twisted words written by Gu Tinyan.

In this way, Qi Rou and He Jin came to the realization that they only needed to guarantee the emperor's detoxification, and to deliver the other letter into the emperor's hands. After tidying things up, Qi Rou immediately sent people to prepare to enter the palace, and with the excuse that she wanted to personally present the latest design to the emperor.

Duan Cong was wary when she heard that Qi Rou was going to bring people into the palace. In the front, Gu Xuan Yan was very aggressive, and Qi Rou was a woman as well. However, when He Jin took out the medicine box and Qi Rou handed over the letter, Duan Cong asked curiously, ”She has already gone to the Fallen Water Barrier. Is she still worried about Zhen's health?”

When Duan Cong was still a crown prince, she had heard of the name of the old mister He.

When he opened the letter, he only had a few sentences to say.

”The Third Prince didn't poison you because he wanted to kill you. I don't suspect that you're being infatuated with your lover.”
