In fact, Nan Mingyu's illness this time was not entirely due to the Wanmu Ku that Lin Qingye found from Doctor Zhou. Before Doctor Zhou left that day, he secretly told Lin Qingye that he noticed that Nan Mingyu's pulse was a little abnormal.

Doctor Zhou actually recognized Nan Mingyu, but he was reluctant to recognize her because of the incident in the palace many years ago. At that time, Zhou Chong was still the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and it was because of her recommendation that Nan Mingyu was summoned by the Queen to the palace to treat patients.

When that incident finally came out, the empress was punished by the emperor to be confined to her house for a month, and Zhou Chong was also implicated. The empress dowager originally wanted to execute him quietly, but it was the sixth prince Ye Tingxuan, who was still a child at the time, who begged the empress dowager for a long time to save him.

From then on, there was no more Dean Zhou with miraculous healing skills in the palace, and after leaving the palace, Zhou Chong had been traveling outside as a medical practitioner. It was not until the Sixth Prince Ye Tingxuan came of age and built his own palace that he sent people to find him. Only then did he settle down in Ye Tingxuan's palace.

Zhou Chong was at the peak of his career years ago. Not only did he enter the Imperial Medical Service at a young age, but he was also promoted to the head of the hospital in just a few years. However, because of that incident, he was forced to leave his hometown and lived a nomadic life, and he was never able to marry and have children.

Zhou Chong was an orphan since childhood. One day he fell ill in a dilapidated temple and was saved by Doctor Bai who was out collecting herbs. This aroused Zhou Chong's desire to study, and he vowed to become a doctor like Doctor Bai.

Afterwards, Zhou Chong went to work as an apprentice in a pharmacy, dealing with herbs every day. With his talent, he quickly stood out from the other apprentices.

When Zhou Chong grew up and was able to see patients on his own, one day when he was out collecting herbs, he met Doctor Bai again. Following Doctor Bai was a beautiful little girl. Although she was young, her facial features were distinct. She was carrying a large backpack on her back that was extremely inconsistent with her height.

Doctor Bai quickly recognized the grown-up Zhou Chong. After learning that he was now able to see patients independently, he gave him a medical book and recommended him to take the examination for the Imperial Hospital.

It can be said that Doctor Bai is Zhou Chong’s enlightenment mentor. Deep in Zhou Chong’s heart, he has always respected Doctor Bai as his mentor.

Therefore, Zhou Chong also regarded Nan Mingyu as his junior sister in his heart, but he knew nothing about Nan Mingyu's past.

After Zhou Chong successfully passed the entrance exam to the Imperial Medical Bureau and became the director of the hospital in just a few years, he also kept an eye on the movements of his junior sister Nan Mingyu, and knew that she eventually married into the Pingnan Marquis's mansion as a concubine.

Zhou Chong knew that concubines were not taken seriously in this dynasty. He thought that Nan Mingyu had grown up with Doctor Bai since she was a child, so her medical skills must be beyond doubt.

Zhou Chong is determined to push Nan Mingyu to the position of the first female medical officer in this dynasty. He wants to promote the medical skills of Doctor Bai, and also wants to find a way out for his junior sister.

He thought that with Nan Mingyu's medical skills, she would be able to cure the Queen's illness. Then, if he said a few good words to the Queen, he should be able to get Nan Mingyu a job as a female medical officer.

So when the queen was bedridden, Zhou Chong immediately thought of Nan Mingyu and recommended Nan Mingyu to the queen. However, how things developed later was completely beyond Zhou Chong's expectations.

Not only did Zhou Chong fail to help Nan Mingyu, he was also implicated and dismissed from his post. If it were not for the young Sixth Prince who came to his rescue, Zhou Chong would probably have lost his life and would have been forced to leave his homeland in the end.

So when Yingyue and Yingxue found him and told him to go to Pingnan Marquis Mansion, the first person he thought of was his junior sister Nan Mingyu, and he followed without hesitation.

However, due to what happened many years ago, he didn't dare to recognize Nan Mingyu, and even didn't dare to let Yingyue and Yingxue know. In the end, he even kept it a secret from Lin Qing.

As soon as Zhou Chong felt Nan Mingyu's pulse, he noticed something was wrong with it. However, he had a doubt in his mind. Nan Mingyu's medical skills should be on par with his. There was no reason why she couldn't feel the pulse that he could.

Zhou Chong couldn't figure out the whole story for a while, so he sneaked back after everyone left and told Lin Qingye about it.

The poison in Nan Mingyu's body is a chronic poison, which is caused by the accumulation of mild toxins over decades.

Lin Qing was also full of doubts at the time. She sent Yingyue and Yingxue to investigate the matter. The final result of the investigation was locked on a bracelet that Nanmingyu wore every day.

Lin Qing also remembered that the bracelet appeared on her hand after Nan Mingyu entered the palace. Nan Mingyu wore it on her hand every day since she got the bracelet.

When Nan Mingyu was awake, Lin Qing asked her about the bracelet, but Nan Mingyu just evaded the question. It was not difficult for Lin Qing to tell from Nan Mingyu's tone that she didn't seem to want Lin Qing to know the secret of the bracelet.

If Lin Qing wanted to take Nan Mingyu away from Pingnan Marquis Mansion before, it was simply because of the miserable end of Nan Mingyu in her previous life as described by Lin Qingyao.

After learning about the Nanming Jade bracelet, Lin Qing wanted to completely remove the Nanming Jade from the Pingnan Marquis Mansion and then investigate the matter thoroughly.

Lin Qingye looked at Lin Shan and fell into deep thought at this time. She didn't know whether she should tell Lin Shan about this matter.

Before Lin Shan came, Lin Qing was convinced that Lin Shan was ruthless to Nan Mingyu. She just wanted to use Lin Shan as a witness so that he could see Nan Mingyu's illness with his own eyes.

If Lin Shan still had some affection for Nan Mingyu, Lin Qing would have planned to have Nan Mingyu leave the Marquis' Mansion and go to the Western Regions to seek medical treatment. This was the best plan Lin Qing could think of so far.

If Lin Shan remains unmoved after meeting Nan Mingyu today and does not agree to let Lin Qing take Nan Mingyu out for medical treatment, then Lin Qing will look for Zhou Chong to plan for Nan Mingyu's fake death.

Finally, he asked Ye Tingxuan to find a way to steal Nan Mingyu and take her out of Pingnan Marquis Mansion. Of course, faking death was only a last resort, and Lin Qing would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

Because Lin Qing himself was not sure whether Nan Mingyu was willing to do this. Once he faked his death, there would be no Nan Mingyu in this world anymore, and Nan Mingyu might never be able to return to Kyoto in the future.

Ye Tingxuan has been busy dealing with the victims these days. Yesterday, he sent someone to deliver a letter saying that he would be out of the city for a few days. Lin Qing wanted to discuss this matter with Ye Tingxuan, but thinking that Ye Tingxuan must have important things to do when he went out of the city, he didn't want to disturb him.

But now this matter may very well involve the Queen, and Lin Qing was even more undecided about whether to tell Ye Tingxuan.

Lin Qing looked at the sincere Lin Shan in front of him again, and finally made up his mind and said, "Daddy, Baoer has something to tell you."
