Li Fei looked worriedly at the Emperor and asked Yuan Hongjun, the young divine doctor, “Is there a problem with the incense? Why can’t it be lit?”

Yuan Hongjun pulled Li Fei aside and whispered to him about the issue with the incense.

Li Fei, who had been taking care of the Emperor for twenty-one years, was a trusted figure. Upon hearing the news, Li Fei’s face turned pale with anger, “Who would dare to do such a thing?!”

Realizing there was something more urgent, he quickly added, “Young divine doctor, if the incense can’t be lit, think of a way to alleviate His Majesty’s suffering.”

Usually, when the Emperor handled state affairs, Li Fei would wait outside the Imperial Study. Otherwise, he himself would’ve been poisoned as well.

Yuan Hongjun said in difficulty, “Only my master can solve this.”

Li Fei was astonished, wondering when the famous young divine doctor of the Daling Dynasty had taken a master.

He urged, “Please invite your master to the palace immediately. His Majesty can’t wait.”

“Don’t worry, I will invite her right away.” Yuan Hongjun took out a whistle from his sleeve, walked under the eaves, and blew it. Soon, an eagle circled down from the sky.

Li Fei watched in amazement.

Yuan Hongjun extended his arm to catch the eagle, went inside to write a note, and tied it to the eagle’s leg, “Little eagle, please take this note to my master.” The eagle seemed a bit annoyed at Yuan Hongjun but then spread its wings and flew away.

Li Fei, watching the eagle disappear into the night sky, thought to himself, “Who is this master that can use an eagle to send messages? This is incredible!”

Yuan Hongjun reassured Li Fei. “My master will come soon.”

Li Fei looked up at the sky, his curiosity about the young divine doctor’s master growing.

Tang Jinghong immediately arranged for a secret investigation upon receiving the list, while Chu Qingzhi, having some free time, went to the inn.

Ge Lihua had gone to Fengxin County to send the young girl home and had not yet returned.

Chu Xujin was having a late-night snack with others, taking the opportunity to enjoy some of the capital’s special cuisine.

At this moment, the lobby of the inn was very lively.

Chu Qingzhi, always dazzling, caught everyone’s attention as she entered the inn.

Chu Xujin quickly put down his chopsticks and approached Chu Qingzhi, asking with concern, “Fifth sister, arc you hungry? There’s still a lot of food left, why don’t you have some?”

Chu Qingzhi, expecting him to ask about the Yun faction, was surprised he was concerned about whether she was hungry. “Sure, I’m actually quite hungry.”

“Come, have a seat,” Chu Xujin said, leading Chu Qingzhi back to the table and serving her various snacks.

Chu Qingzhi began to taste each dish: golden ginger shredded pork, honey fried dough twists that looked like ears, ring-shaped fried dough, and a seemingly plain but delicious noodle.

Chu Xujin saw that Chu Qingzhi had eaten some before asking about serious matters. “Fifth Sister, how is it?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “There’s no big problem.”

Chu Xujin heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good, that’s good.”

Chu Qingzhi packed some snacks for Tang Jinghong after tasting each dish, “Third brother, be careful when going out in the capital these days.”

“Don’t worry, fifth sister, we’ll be careful,” Chu Xujin replied, aware of his limits and not wanting to cause trouble.

Chu Qingzhi noticed someone was missing, “Where’s Lihua, third brother?”

Chu Xujin’s eyes showed worry and longing, “She went to send Miss Lin back to Fengxin County.”

Chu Qingzhi was surprised, “That young girl is from Fengxin County?”

Chu Xujin nodded, “Yes, she said she is the daughter of the second branch of the Lin family.”

“The second branch of the Lin family. What a coincidence.” Chu Qingzhi was not very curious. Now that the matter had been properly resolved, she did not continue on this topic. “Third Brother, why didn’t you go with them?”

Third Brother could not wait to follow Lihua wherever she went. It was strange that he didn’t follow this time. Could it be that they had a quarrel?

Chu Xujin admitted, “I wanted to, but Lihua asked me to stay here in case you needed help.”

So that was the case. Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Third Brother, I promise that we’ll go back to the Chu Village in four days.”

Chu Xujin was pleasantly surprised. “We can go back in four days? That’s great!”

Chu Qingzhi said helplessly, “In order to not let Brother postpone the wedding, we have to return in time no matter what.”

Chu Xujin smiled. “That’s right. We can’t let them wait for us.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded, “Third brother, if you’re bored, you can buy some gifts for our parents. Yuting is also in the capital. You can pay him a visit.”

Chu Xujin felt happy. Fifth Sister was already so busy, but she was still concerned about him. “Fifth Sister, I understand.”

Chu Qingzhi changed the topic. “The people who came with us can return to the

Chu Village. Third Brother, make arrangements tomorrow.”

Chu Xujin responded seriously, “Don’t worry, fifth sister, I’ll take care of it.”

“Okay,” Chu Qingzhi finished her late-night snack and put down her chopsticks, “I have to go now, third brother. There’s still some work to do.”

Chu Xujin stood up, “Let me see you out.”

After leaving the inn, Chu Qingzhi planned to find Bao Linjiang.

She had already given the name list of people who would be poisoned to Bao Linjiang, and now Yuan Hongjun was in charge of investigating the poisonous incense in the palace, while Bao Linjiang was responsible for checking the ministers’ homes to find if there was the poisonous incense.

Just as she stepped onto the street, she saw the eagle flying towards her.

She extended her arm to catch it.

The eagle lowered its head and pecked at the letter, picking it up for Chu Qingzhi. It seemed to be very intelligent

Chu Qingzhi smiled and stroked the eagle’s head, then took the letter to read it. ‘So fast, he’s already addicted.'”

With a wave of the letter, it turned into ashes. Chu Qingzhi informed Tang Jinghong and rushed to the palace.

Li Fei, worried about the Emperor, waited at the palace gate with Yuan Hongjun for his master. When he saw a beautiful young girl approaching, he immediately instructed the palace guards to stop Chu Qingzhi, “This is the palace. Commoner, step back.”

Yuan Hongjun turned to Li Fei with an awkward smile, “She is my master.”

Li Fei was visibly shocked. In his mind, Yuan Hongjun’s master should be a white-robed, celestial figure. How could this young girl, similar in age to Yuan Hongjun, be a master?

Chu Qingzhi ignored Li Fei and walked straight to Yuan Hongjun, “Let’s go.”

Yuan Hongjun respectfully said, “Please, master,” and they headed towards the palace.

Li Fei followed, still unable to accept that the young divine doctor’s master was a young girl.

However, he remained silent and observed quietly. He thought, “The young divine doctor is no fool; he wouldn’t randomly take a young girl as a master. This girl must have extraordinary abilities. Let’s wait and see..”
