881. Chapter 881 Who Is the Witch King?

Qi Ruoshui entered the palace again two days later. She finally remembered some things about the priest's palace and wrote them down on paper.

Ye Zhen always believed that it would not be difficult for the secret guard to investigate anything. Besides, Qi Jin had always lived in Kyoto. It should not be difficult to investigate the affairs of their mother and daughter, but Xue Lin still found no results after two days of investigation.

She became even more curious about Qi Ruoshui.

"Is this the priest's hall in Xiliang?" Ye Zhen saw Qi Ruoshui draw a palace, and she looked over in surprise.

Qi Ruoshui said, "Yes, it's just that I have escaped for many years, and I took a quick look when I left, so I can't remember too much details."

Ye Zhen looked at the priest's hall painted by Qi Ruoshui. Although the painting was indeed not exquisite and detailed, she could still see the appearance of the priest's hall.

"How did you let the people in the priest's hall discover you back then?" Ye Zhen asked curiously.

Qi Ruoshui frowned, with a strange look on his face. The expression just flashed past, "I don't know either."

Ye Zhen caught the change in her expression. It seemed that she didn't know, but didn't want to say anything.

"Then you cured the old Witch King's disease?" Ye Zhen asked quietly.

"It's not considered cured." Qi Ruoshui shook his head lightly, "The old Witch King's disease cannot be cured at all. However, although it was not cured, it can be regarded as saving her life, so my life in the priest's hall is not too sad. , otherwise there would be no chance to escape."

Ye Zhen frowned in thought. She had heard Shan Shi say that Qi Ruoshui was already well-known when she was in the Medical Hall, and her medical skills were not inferior to Qi Jin's. Probably because of her reputation, the Priest Hall Only people will take her away.

"You said that the current Witch King is the adopted daughter of the old Witch King. Have you seen her?" Ye Zhen asked.

Qi Ruoshui lowered his head and said, "No, I've only heard of her existence, but never seen her."

"So, you don't know if she is sick." If she was not sick, why did she take Huangfu Chen away? If it weren't for this reason, she really couldn't think of the Witch King's purpose of taking Huangfu Chen away.

"I have told you everything I know, and I don't know anything else." Qi Ruoshui whispered.

Ye Zhen looked at her deeply, "Then...where are you and Medical Officer Qi?"

Qi Ruoshui raised his head suddenly, with a flash of resentment and sorrow in his eyes, "Empress, if you want to know, you might as well ask her."

It seems that even Medical Officer Qi doesn't want to mention it, "Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask you any questions. You can go back first. If I have any questions, I will call you into the palace again."

"Yes." Qi Ruoshui lowered his head in response.

Not long after Qi Ruoshui left, Shen Yi came to see him.

"Mother, Ye Yaoyao came back not long after she left Kyoto." Shen Yi bowed and reported Ye Zhen's whereabouts.

Ever since Ye Yaoyao left the Overwatch Council, Shen Yi has been following her. She left Kyoto after leaving the Overwatch Council, but not long after, she actually came back. During this time, she was not found to have been in contact with anyone. is a person.

Ye Zhen listened to Shen Yi's explanation of Ye Yaoyao's whereabouts. She shook her head and said, "She will definitely not return to Kyoto for no reason. She must have received some hint."

The Witch King was able to relieve Lu Lingzhi's seven-day pain and rescue him from the wasteland. If he guessed correctly, the Witch King must know medical skills.

Witch King, woman, medical skill.

It seemed like something was about to burst out of her mind.

The surname is Qi...

Qi Ruoshui!

However, there was no evidence...she couldn't just say Qi Ruoshui was the Witch King based on these speculations.

"What about Ye Yaoyao after she returns to Kyoto?" Ye Zhen asked in a deep voice.

"She lives in a village on the outskirts. Madam, don't worry, her subordinates will always follow her," Shen Yi said.

Ye Zhen said, "If you find her looking for Qi Ruoshui, tell me immediately."

She had no reason not to doubt Qi Ruoshui, but what she couldn't figure out the most was, if the Witch King was Qi Ruoshui, then why did she return to the capital?

Doesn't Qi Ruoshui know that her appearance like this will arouse suspicion?

"Hongying, go and ask for Medical Officer Qi." Ye Zhen ordered.

Qi Jin was not in the palace. In order to prevent Qi Ruoshui from seeing Qi Zixi again, she had been on guard at home for the past two days, but she did not see Qi Ruoshui again.

"Xiu Gu, take Xi'er back to Niujia Village." Qi Jin found Xiu Gu and spoke out her request in a deep voice.

"Miss, why?" Xiugu didn't understand. It was not easy to come out after entering Niujia Village. Did the lady plan not to see Xi'er for the rest of her life?

Qi Jin said, "I have no choice, Xiu Gu, Ruoshui is no longer the Ruoshui before. She definitely didn't come back to see Xi'er this time. I'm worried that she will hurt the child. Let him go to Niujia Village. Someone will watch over him for me."

Xiugu's eyes filled with tears, "Miss, we are leaving, what will you do?"

"I want to stay. I have no shame to go back to Niujia Village." Qi Jin whispered, "Stop talking any more. Before Qi Ruoshui thinks about Xi'er, you should take Xi'er away quickly."

"Miss..." Xiugu knelt down and kowtowed to Qi Jin, "We are leaving, you must take care of yourself."

Qi Jin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I can take care of myself, and so can you. Don't talk too much to Xi'er, coax him to leave first."

If Xi'er knew that he was leaving his grandmother, he would definitely not agree to leave.

Xiugu endured the sadness and responded.

Qi Jin held back her sadness and shed tears in the room, thinking about sneaking a look at Xi'er. As soon as she walked out of the room, she heard that the palace wanted to invite her in.

Well, even if you go to see her, you can't change the facts, lest you don't have the heart to send Xi'er away.

Qi Jin gritted his teeth and followed Hong Ying into the palace.

"Empress, I wonder why you are looking for me?" Qi Jin bowed, but he knew in his heart that the Queen's visit to her must have something to do with Qi Ruoshui and Huangfuchen.

"Medical Officer Qi, I am confused about something. I hope you can give me the answer." Ye Zhen looked at Qi Jin and saw that her eyes were red and swollen. She seemed to have cried a lot. Ever since she met Medical Officer Qi, I have always felt that this is a strong and calm elder, and anything that can make her cry is definitely not a trivial matter.

Qi Jin replied in a low voice, "Excuse me, ma'am."

"I want to know what happened between you and your daughter?" Ye Zhen whispered, "Medical Officer Qi, there is still no clue about the master's matter. The only clue now is the priest's hall. Why did Qi Ruoshui do this? I don’t believe that she was taken to the priest’s palace because of her medical skills. You are her mother, and you should know best what happened back then.”

"Mother, does this... have anything to do with it?" Qi Jin's expression changed. Why did she say that? It was like stabbing her heart with a knife.

Ye Zhen took a deep look at Qi Jin, "Because I don't want to doubt Qi Ruoshui, let alone kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Although Qi Jin hated Qi Ruoshui, he never thought that she would die. After all, she was her daughter. When she heard Ye Zhen's words, her face turned pale, and she knew...as long as Qi Ruoshui came back, some things would not be hidden. .
