I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 82 Thorough Investigation
"Doctor Li, are you on duty again today?"

Doctor Li put down the medicine box and looked at the woman on the bed. Seeing dark circles under her eyes, he asked in surprise, "Didn't the girl get enough rest last night?"

"Your Majesty was assassinated at the birthday banquet last night. The Imperial Guards are searching the palace for the assassin. I'm afraid no one in the palace can sleep peacefully."

"The assassin has been killed, you can rest assured. If you want to recover quickly, rest is the most important thing, please pay attention."

"Okay." Chu Liuzheng nodded obediently.

Doctor Li took out a medicine pillow and felt her pulse, then asked, "Did you get hurt yesterday?"

"I accidentally bumped into the edge of the table, just a little bit." Chu Liuzheng's eyes were vague and he spoke with a lack of confidence.

Doctor Li's face fell, and he sighed quietly again and again, looking at Chu Liuzheng with an extremely resentful look.

Chu Liuzheng admitted that he was soft-hearted and did not take hardship, and quickly assured: "I will be careful in the future and will never bump into anything! Can you please stop looking at me like that?"

"Young lady, please keep this in mind." Doctor Li's expression changed as if by accident, and instantly returned to normal.

Chu Liuzheng: “…”

"After the collision yesterday, is there any discomfort in your hand?"

"It just hurt more at the time." Chu Liuzheng frowned slightly, watching Doctor Li remove the gauze layer by layer. "Doctor Li, every time I change the bandage, my hand hurts a lot, as if a layer of ginger powder was sprinkled on it. Can you change the prescription for me?"

Imperial Doctor Li paused, raised his eyes and looked at her, his eyes were filled with annoyance: "What do you mean, young lady? Do you not believe in the Imperial Hospital or do you not believe in me?"

"Don't be upset. The imperial doctors are all experts in medicine, and you, Imperial Doctor Li, are even more kind-hearted and skilled. I will naturally believe you."

There was a layer of mist in Chu Liuzheng's eyes, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he drooped his eyelashes, pretending to be a pitiful little boy.

"But this medicine really hurts when applied on my hands. I used to work in a pharmacy, and I know there are milder prescriptions for wounds that don't hurt when applied on the hands, so I was thinking about whether I could try a different prescription."

Doctor Li frowned. The prescription he was using now was already mild enough and would definitely not contain anything that would irritate the wound.

He originally thought that the girl was delicate, but yesterday she cried in pain but didn't mention changing the prescription. Today she suddenly brought it up, and it sounded like she had something else in her words...

Thinking of this, he tilted his head to look at the medicine powder that had not yet been mixed at hand. Thinking of the many methods in the palace, his eyes couldn't help but darken.

He took out some powder with a small silver spoon, pinched it on his fingertips to identify it, and then put it to his nose to smell it.

Chu Liuzheng looked at him secretly.

Doctor Li’s frown deepened.

The powder smelled slightly of salvia miltiorrhiza and ginger, which were clearly not included in the prescription. In addition, there was a strange smell that he could not identify for the time being.

He wiped the powder off his hands, and thinking of the word "ginger powder" mentioned by Chu Liuzheng just now, he couldn't help but look at her meaningfully.

Chu Liuzheng blinked innocently.

[Don't look at me. I know but I can only pretend I don't know.]

Seeing her like this, Doctor Li smiled secretly in his heart, what a smart girl.

He said, "Since the young lady feels unwell, let me take a look at the wound first and then consider what medicine to use for her."

【Stable! 】

Chu Liuzheng curled his eyes happily: "Thank you, Doctor Li."

Doctor Li mixed the medicine into warm water and carefully washed the paste off Chu Liuzheng's hands.

He leaned in closer to take a closer look at the injury.

Chu Liuzheng also held his breath.

[God bless, please help me! ! ]

The wound was red and slightly swollen, probably due to the irritation of the drug. But perhaps the person who did it was cautious and mixed a small amount of drug in, so it was not serious.

I didn't notice it before because exposed wounds will turn red, and there was nothing abnormal with Chu Liuzheng's pulse, so I ignored it for a while.

Doctor Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't have to cut off the old growth.

Just in case, he asked, "Besides the pain, do you feel any other discomfort?"

Chu Liuzheng thought for a while: "Does an occasional itch count?" Doctor Li nodded, stared at Chu Liuzheng's wound for a moment, then reached out and took out a small black box from the medicine box, and applied the dark green translucent ointment inside to Chu Liuzheng's wound.

The ointment feels cool when it touches the skin, and has a light floral scent.

Chu Liuzheng asked curiously, "What kind of medicine is this?"

Doctor Li did not answer, but said, "Young lady, please use this medicine. I will go back to the Imperial Hospital and discuss with other doctors about changing the medicine for your injury."

Chu Liuzheng nodded: "Thank you, Doctor Li."

Doctor Li did not delay and quickly bandaged Chu Liuzheng with gauze, then hurried away with the medicine box on his back.

Moxiang was boiling medicine outside. When she heard the noise and looked up, Doctor Li had already left, with only his back left.

Puzzled, she pushed the door open and walked in, "Liu Zheng, why did Doctor Li leave in such a hurry? Is there anything wrong with your injury?"

Chu Liuzheng didn't plan to reveal anything until there was some movement from the Imperial Medical Bureau.

"Don't worry, sister. It's just that Doctor Li said that the current medicine for my injury is not suitable for me and he wants to change it. He has to go back to the Imperial Hospital to discuss with other doctors first, so he left in a hurry."

Hearing that everything was fine, Moxiang felt relieved, but then she thought of something else and asked, "Should the decoction be replaced as well?"

If she wanted to change, she would not boil the medicine now to avoid wasting her efforts.

Chu Liuzheng shook his head: "Doctor Li didn't mention it, so there's no need to change it."

"Okay then. I'll go out and look after the medicine. Call me if you need anything."

"it is good."

……

This wait lasted two hours.

Chu Liuzheng finally saw the relevant gossip displayed on the system and couldn't wait to click on it.

[The director of the Imperial Hospital ordered a thorough inspection of the entire pharmacy.]

[Madame Wu, the head nurse, added substances that irritated the wounds and hindered their healing without authorization to the medicine for the palace maids. She had done similar things before. Her heart was abominable and her crime was unforgivable. The director of the Imperial Hospital reported the matter to Emperor Shunguang and explained the key points. Emperor Shunguang was furious and ordered the execution of Wu and her accomplices.]

【Wuhu~The old woman got what she deserved! 】

Chu Liuzheng praised Doctor Li for his efficiency.

[Unfortunately, the matter ended here. In order to protect her family, she took all the blame and did not implicate Shen Chongyi at all.]

[However, the Shen family was favored by the emperor in the previous dynasty. Even if they were found out, it would probably be just a lot of noise but little damage, and would not cause any serious damage.]

Xiao Jingfan, who had just entered Nong Yunyuan, paused. Is this matter related to Shen Chongyi?
He was about to listen carefully, but the voice in his heart disappeared.

Zhou Yuande shouted: "His Majesty has arrived!"

Hearing this, the maids in Nongyun Garden were startled and came out to greet the emperor, "Your Majesty, may you be well."

Xiao Jingfan waved his hand: "Go and do your own thing."

He walked into the room where Chu Liuzheng lived with familiarity, and sat down at the table with familiarity.

Moxiang bowed and, at Zhou Yuande's signal, turned around and went out to make tea.

Chu Liuzheng greeted him verbally as he did last time, but he couldn't help feeling suspicious.

[Why is the tyrant here again? Didn't he summon the envoys from Annan to meet him? ]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

This woman doesn't want to see him? Then he leaves?
But thinking about what the Imperial Hospital reported, if it had been discovered a few days later, this woman's hand would have been crippled.

He hesitated for a moment but still didn't leave. He gestured to the envoy Wu and the imperial physician Li who followed him, "Go check her out."

The two men put down the medicine box, moved to the bedside, and said "excuse me" to Chu Liuzheng before starting to remove the gauze on her hand.

When he saw the dark green translucent ointment, Dean Wu was stunned and turned to look at Doctor Li.
