He found that many people had mentioned another medical officer who treated the Queen Mother that day - Dr. Sun. This Imperial Physician Sun disappeared mysteriously after the Queen Mother was poisoned, as if he had evaporated from the world.

Doctor Li felt a move in his mind, thinking that Doctor Sun was very likely to be related to Zhao Zhizhi's unjust case. So he decided to secretly investigate the whereabouts and background of Imperial Physician Sun.

After many days of covert and covert inspections, Dr. Li finally discovered the traces of Dr. Sun. It turned out that he had been hiding in a dilapidated temple outside the city, drinking wine every day to relieve his sorrows.

Instead of alerting the enemy, Doctor Li chose to quietly go to the ruined temple on a dark and windy night. There, he had a heart-to-heart conversation with Imperial Physician Sun.

"Mr. Sun, why are you hiding here?" Dr. Li sat opposite Dr. Sun and asked softly.

Doctor Sun raised his head, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "How did you find me?"

Doctor Li did not answer the question, "I know you must know the truth about Zhao Zhizhi's case."

Doctor Sun was silent for a moment, "I...I really don't know the specific situation. But I'm sure that Zhao Zhizhi was wrongly accused."

His voice was trembling, "I once doubted the queen's motives, but I didn't dare to say it."

Dr. Li stared closely into Dr. Sun's eyes, "Now you can tell me the truth."

Dr. Sun took a deep breath and said, "Actually, after I took the Queen Mother's pulse that night, I found that she was poisoned. I wanted to report it to the Queen at that time, but a mysterious man threatened me and told me not to meddle in her own business."

His voice became lower and lower, "Later I found out that this mysterious man was a guard beside the queen."

After hearing the news, Dr. Li felt a chill coming over him. The queen is so cruel and will do whatever it takes to achieve her goal!

He stood up and said, "Mr. Sun, your confession is of great help to me. I will continue to investigate."

After leaving the ruined temple, Dr. Li felt an unprecedented pressure. He knew that his situation was very dangerous, but he also strengthened his belief - for the sake of Zhao Zhizhi's innocence and the peace of the imperial city, he must completely expose the truth!

In the days that followed, Dr. Li began to secretly collect evidence about the queen and this mysterious guard.

He used his medical clinic as a cover to constantly communicate with various forces.

At the same time, Xia Pan'er also provided some key clues to Dr. Li through Zhao Zhizhi's network.

However, the initial investigation yielded no clues, and they had to search for other key points.

Zhao Zhizhi has not felt much discomfort in the cell these days.

Although the environment is simple, she seems to have found a peaceful haven. Every morning when she wakes up, she will recite the medical books she has read so well, and those complex theories and cases will appear repeatedly in her mind.

She simulated how to diagnose, prescribe, and treat difficult and complicated diseases.

This is a unique practice and a kind of self-comfort she finds in this small space.

The windows of the cell are high and narrow, and sunlight can only come in from above, forming a slanting light.

Zhao Zhizhi was sitting cross-legged in this light, immersed in his own world. Her eyes were slightly closed, as if she could see the roots of the pathology through her body.

A cough next to her interrupted her thoughts. She frowned slightly, slowly opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the sound.

Over there was an old man with almost all his hair falling out. His face was pale and his eyes were sunken. He was huddled in the corner, his body trembling slightly, and every cough seemed to use up all his strength.

Zhao Zhizhi's heart moved, and she immediately approached the old man and said softly: "Old man, try pressing these acupuncture points on your body, maybe you can stop the cough."

As she spoke, she tapped her arm a few times with her fingers.

The old man looked up at her, his eyes full of surprise and confusion.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately chose silence. He looked down at the acupuncture points touched by Zhao Zhizhi's fingers, took a deep breath, and pressed them according to Zhao Zhizhi's instructions.

Sure enough, the coughing gradually weakened until it finally disappeared.

The old man slowly raised his head. The pain of coughing was no longer in his eyes, replaced by a complex emotion.

He looked at Zhao Zhizhi, with both gratitude and confusion in his eyes.

Zhao Zhizhi smiled faintly and didn't say anything. He just returned to his position. The cell fell into silence again.

Zhao Zhizhi closed his eyes and meditated, no longer disturbed by the outside world.

The old man sat there silently, with various thoughts surging in his heart. He remembered that when he was young, he had been so kind to strangers, but unfortunately something happened later...

Time passes in silence.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the windows on every corner of the cell, forming a warm glow.

Zhao Zhizhi and the old man sat in the light, as if they had become two worlds in this small space.

They didn't speak to each other, but they exchanged a special emotion in silence.

As night falls, the light in the cell gradually dims.

The old man suddenly said: "Girl, why are you trapped in this cell?" His voice was a little hoarse, but full of sincere curiosity.

Zhao Zhizhi smiled slightly and did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned to look at the night sky outside the window.

She whispered: "Because of some unreasonable disaster."

The old man was silent. Looking at Zhao Zhizhi's calm face, he couldn't help but admire him.

He remembered that he had had such impulse and passion when he was young, but time and reality had long since smoothed his edges.

But the girl in front of her seemed not to be bound by the world, and still maintained her innocence and persistence.

As the night wore on, the cell fell into darkness.

But the hearts of Zhao Zhizhi and the old man became brighter because of their communication with each other.

They found a common topic in this small space.

"Zhao Zhizhi, do you know that there is a particularly powerful medical skill in this world?" The old man's voice was hoarse, but with an undoubted determination.

Zhao Zhizhi was slightly startled. Her eyes as bright as clear springs looked at the old man and shook her head, "I am from a small place, so I don't know."

The old man looked at her deeply, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, "In this world, the one with the most powerful medical skills is the Heavenly Medicine Sect." His words were full of awe, "The Heavenly Medicine Sect has a medical book, which is from ancient times. The one handed down is called "Rejuvenation Book"."

Zhao Zhizhi's pupils shrank slightly. She clearly remembered that when she was a child, she heard a legend from her grandfather, saying that it was a medical book that could bring the dead back to life. Could it be the "Rejuvenation Book" of today's medical school?
