After listening to the old doctor's description of her condition, Mrs. Jiang suddenly felt cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Mrs. Jiang stared at the old doctor in a daze, unable to come back to her senses for a while.

For a whole year, she was completely unaware of it.

When she was at the Jiang Mansion, the palace physician would check her pulse every month. Why did the physician always say that she was in good health and nothing serious happened to her? Didn't the physician realize that she was poisoned?

Was it because the court physician’s medical skills were not good enough to detect it, or was it that the court physician had known about her condition for a long time but did not dare to explain it to her?

Who was the person who poisoned her?

Qiulan and Qiurong both looked at their wives with concern.

Chen Lu wrote down the news and told her master when she returned.

The only sound in the guest room was the old doctor's sigh, "Madam, am I right?"

Mrs. Jiang came back to her senses.

Mrs. Jiang's face turned even paler, as if she had thought of something. She coughed and said, "Doctor, how can I get rid of the poison I've been poisoned with? Can it be cured?"

The old doctor nodded hesitantly: "It can be solved, but it's a bit troublesome."

"This poison has been lurking in Madam's body for too long and has already damaged her internal organs. If you want to completely remove the poison, you will need a long period of recuperation."

After a pause, the old doctor continued, "How about this, I will prescribe three days' worth of medicine for you. Madam, take the medicine first, and I will come back after three days to check on your condition."

"Okay, thank you doctor."

After just a short while, Madam Jiang felt very tired. She raised her hand and rubbed her brows, looked at Qiulan who was standing beside her, and said, "Qiulan, go down the mountain with the doctor to get the medicine."

"Yes, ma'am."

Qiulan responded and said to the old doctor, "Doctor, this way please."

The old doctor nodded, picked up the medicine box and walked out the door.

Qiulan also quickly followed.

Seeing this, Chen Lu said to Madam Jiang on the couch, "Madam, it's time for me to go back and serve my master."

"it is good."

Mrs. Jiang winked at Qiu Rong.

Qiu Rong understood instantly.

Qiu Rong took out a sachet from her sleeve, which contained silver. She handed it to Chen Lu, "Miss Chen Lu, this is a reward from my wife. Please accept it."

Chen Lu smiled and declined, "No need, I am just following my master's orders, and besides, I didn't go down the mountain to invite the doctor, so I really can't accept the reward from my lady."

Qiu Rong did not speak, but looked at his wife.

Only after receiving a signal from the lady did Qiu Rong put away the sachet.

Madam Jiang said, "Since you are unwilling to accept it, I will not force you. When my condition gets better, I will go and thank your master in person."

Mrs. Jiang's original plan was to stay in Chang'an Temple for five days. Now it seems that in order to completely eliminate the toxins in her body, she can only stay in Chang'an Temple for a longer period of time.

Afterwards, she returned to Jiang Mansion to investigate the matter thoroughly and find out who wanted to kill her!

"Okay, ma'am."

Chen Lu responded and turned to walk out of the room.

Chen Lu returned to the guest room where her master was staying and happened to meet the old doctor coming out of her master's room.

But Qiulan is not here.

Chen Lu said, "Doctor, please go slowly."

The old doctor nodded.

Chen Lu entered the room only after she could no longer see the old doctor's back.

"Chen Lu meets the master."

Lu Xiaoxiao put down the Buddhist scriptures in her hand, looked up at Chenlu and said, "Thank you for the hard work, Chenlu, sit down first."

Although the old doctor had just come over and told Lu Xiaoxiao about the condition of the wife of the Jiangning governor, Lu Xiaoxiao still wanted to hear Chen Lu say it again.

"Master, I will just stand and speak."

During the days she spent with her master, Chen Lu knew that her master didn't seem to care much about hierarchy, but as maids, they couldn't help but care.

Seeing Chen Lu insisted, Lu Xiaoxiao stopped talking.

Chen Lu said, "Master, the doctor said that the lady was poisoned a year ago, but the incubation period was long, and it only started to slowly break out recently..."

Although she didn't know why her master paid so much attention to that lady, Chen Lu still told her what she heard and saw seriously: "When the lady heard it, her face turned pale."

"But the doctor said that the poison that lady was poisoned with can be cured, but she needs to slowly recuperate for a period of time."

"The doctor will first let the lady take the medicine for three days. After three days, the doctor will go up the mountain to check the lady's pulse."

"Also, that lady also said that when her condition gets better, she will come in person to thank the master..."

"So, that lady should stay in Chang'an Temple for some time."

Lu Xiaoxiao was thinking in her heart, how about she stay in Chang'an Temple for the next few days?

Okay, that’s a happy decision.

Lu Xiaoxiao immediately announced to Chenlu and Baizhi: "Then we will also stay in Chang'an Temple for a few more days."

Chen Lu: “…”

Bai Zhi: "..."

When they came out, they never thought that their master would come to Chang'an Temple, let alone that their master would decide to stay in Chang'an Temple for a few days on a whim.

But they had nothing prepared at this time.

Chen Lu: "Master, I didn't bring any clothes with me when I went out this time, so..."

"Why don't you let me go down the mountain?"

If Chen Lu hadn't mentioned it, Lu Xiaoxiao would not have remembered this matter. Clothes and other intimate items had to be brought back by her personally.

Doesn't that mean she has to go up and down the mountain again?

When Lu Xiaoxiao thought of this, her legs suddenly felt weak and her whole body ached. She didn't want to take another step.

In order to avoid getting into trouble, Lu Xiaoxiao chose to play it down for the time being: "Forget it, let's wait for my husband to come over and discuss this matter."

Hearing this, Chen Lu and Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

If the master insists, they really don't know what excuse to find.

Xie Xi and Meng Huaijun arrived an hour later.

When the two of them came over, Lu Xiaoxiao was sleeping soundly with a Buddhist scripture in her arms.

Seeing His Highness, Chen Lu wanted to wake up her master, but was stopped by His Highness, "No need to wake her up. Do you know why your master asked us to come here?"

Chen Lu and Bai Zhi looked at each other. Bai Zhi's thoughts were more active. Seeing that her master was so concerned about the situation of that lady, Bai Zhi guessed, "My master, maybe it's because of the lady living in the other guest room."

"lady?"

Meng Huaijun reacted instantly: "Miss Baizhi, is that lady Madam Jiang?"

Bai Zhi shook her head: "I don't know."

"Maybe the morning dew..."

As she spoke, Bai Zhi looked at Chen Lu, who also shook her head: "That lady never revealed her identity."

"Even the maidservant beside her never mentioned it."
