Chapter 517 Bringing the Prince into the Palace
Although Shen Xiangming was shocked by the news that Empress Dowager Yuan had given birth to a child, he still reached out and took the rice paper.
He was a smart man and knew Ji Yuntang's intention at just one glance.
The child born by Empress Dowager Yuan should be the late emperor's. She did not dare to let outsiders know, so the child was most likely not the late emperor's.
And this child is the only flesh and blood of Empress Dowager Yuan. She would definitely not be willing to send him away. She would definitely raise him in the capital and send someone to take good care of him.
According to Ji Yuntang, children with congenital deficiencies have to take medicine every day. There are special people to register the medicinal materials in the Imperial Hospital, so any excess or deficiency will be discovered.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Yuan would definitely not give him the medicinal herbs in the palace.
If you want to find out whether this child exists, the wisest decision is to start from the medical clinic in the capital.
Shen Xiangming bowed to Ji Yuntang and Hua Feixue and said, "Princess Ye, Your Highness, I will take care of this matter. I will go find someone to investigate now."
Before leaving, Hua Feixue called Shen Xiangming again and discussed some things with him alone.
It's nothing more than keeping their identities secret and asking Shen Xiangming how many people he can mobilize.
Ji Yuntang and Xie Liuzheng went back to their rooms and prepared to go to bed.
At noon the next day, just after Ji Yuntang and the other two had finished breakfast, Shen Xiangming came hurriedly to report.
"Your Highness, Princess Ye, the matter you asked me to investigate has already yielded results!"
Hua Feixue immediately became interested and asked him, "Did General Shen find Empress Dowager Yuan's illegitimate child?"
Shen Xiangming nodded, then shook his head again when he felt uncertain.
"I sent a few unfamiliar servants to different clinics to buy Dendrobium officinale. However, a clinic called Huichuntang said that all the Dendrobium officinale had been reserved by someone, and the purchase was for a period of ten years with a one-time payment."
"As soon as the Dendrobium officinale arrives in their clinic, they will send a clerk to deliver it to the place designated by the buyer, put it in a basket and leave."
"So far, Huichuntang's staff has been delivering Dendrobium officinale to buyers for three years, but the staff has never seen the buyer's face once."
"And as luck would have it, a new batch of Dendrobium officinale was delivered, and the Huichuntang shop assistant was about to deliver the goods to the buyer. The people I sent followed the shop assistant to see who bought the Dendrobium officinale."
"According to the servants' answer, they saw a man in black clothes, who was wrapped up tightly. He took the Dendrobium officinale from the basket stealthily and then jumped into a courtyard with a tightly sealed door."
"My men did not dare to alert the enemy, so they came back to inform me. Now I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Ye to make the decision."
Ji Yuntang and Hua Feixue looked at each other, and both felt that there was something wrong with this buyer.
Xie Liuzheng said: "How about this prince come forward and help you find out?"
"If the old witch's illegitimate child really lives in there, then I will help you kidnap him."
Ji Yuntang said: "There is no need to kidnap him. As long as you can help me get a strand of his hair, I can confirm whether he is the flesh and blood of Empress Dowager Yuan."
Xie Liuzheng was shocked, "Just the hair is enough, no blood or anything?"
He had only heard of blood testing to determine kinship, but this was the first time he heard that hair testing could also be used to determine kinship.
As soon as Hua Feixue saw Xie Liuzheng's expression, she knew that he probably didn't know Ji Yuntang's origins.
She laughed playfully and spoke leisurely.
"You are her brother, but you don't understand her at all."
Xie Liuzheng: "..."
Xie Liuzheng: "!!!"
He felt that Hua Feixue was mocking him, and just as he was about to retort her, he heard Ji Yuntang say, "No need, hair can also be used to test kinship."
"Brother, I'll leave this matter to you. Hua Feixue and I have more important things to do. We'll wait for your good news."
After Ji Yuntang spoke, Xie Liuzheng lost his temper instantly. He patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, sister Yuntang, I promise to pull the hair of the old witch's son back for you."
Ji Yuntang doesn’t know the seriousness of the matter yet.
After Xie Liuzheng left, she said to Hua Feixue: "I'm going to the palace to give the old witch acupuncture. Do you want to come with me?"
Hua Feixue was stunned and looked at her in surprise, "Didn't you say that now is not the time for this prince and the old witch to face off?"
Ji Yuntang said: "We don't have much time left. I plan to take a risky move and try to expose the old witch's flaws tonight."
Hua Feixue was puzzled, "What should I do then, Prince?"
Ji Yuntang curled his lips, "You'll know in a minute!"
When Hua Feixue closed and opened her eyes and entered Ji Yuntang's space, she was completely dumbfounded.
She pinched herself hard and realized that she was not dreaming and everything before her was real.
Completely different from the ancient and quaint scene, everything here is full of technology.
She had never seen it, but she was amazed.
Hua Feixue looked around, curious about everything. She asked Ji Yuntang, "Is this something from your world?"
Ji Yuntang nodded and turned on the surveillance camera outside.
"Yes, but this is my private space. No one can come in without my permission."
"You can't confront Empress Dowager Yuan head-on, but I can put you in a space and bring you into the palace. When needed, you can come out again!"
Hua Feixue was stunned when she saw the servants cleaning the yard on the surveillance camera.
This character and this visual effect are so clear, it’s as if a real person is standing in front of him.
He asked excitedly, "So, this prince can see the scene of your conversation with the old witch without leaving home?"
Ji Yuntang nodded, "That's right."
Hua Feixue was even more excited. "Well, take me with you. I will cooperate with any of your plans."
The two hit it off immediately, and Ji Yuntang immediately brought Hua Feixue into the palace.
Outside the Cining Palace, Nanny An had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw Ji Yuntang, she came up to him with a smile on her face.
"Doctor Yun, you are finally here. Our Queen Mother has been talking about you!"
Ji Yuntang smiled and asked her, "How is the Empress Dowager? Is your headache better?"
Nanny An said happily: "It's more than better, it's much better!"
"Yesterday, after the Queen Mother drank the medicine you prescribed, she didn't complain of a headache all night and slept until dawn. When she got up this morning to attend court, she was refreshed, and the ministers all praised her for her improved mental state."
"Our Queen Mother has been waiting for you since lunch. Doctor Yun, please come in quickly!"
