The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1126

Chapter 1126: 548 Confess the Truth (Second Update)

Xiao Hen said, "In a side room in the backyard, she was seriously injured at the time and was picked up by a doctor from the Medical Hall. She is an important witness, so let’s not startle the snake by hitting the grass."

Minister Xing was puzzled, "Why was she picked up by someone from the Medical Hall? Did she do it on purpose? Is there anything strange about this Medical Hall?"

True to his roots from the Ministry of Justice, his logical reasoning was too strong, but Xiao Hen had no intention of telling him that Mo Qianxue came for Gu Jiao. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Minister Xing’s character, it was just that the time wasn’t right.

Now was definitely not the best time to investigate Mo Qianxue.

With an unchanged expression, Xiao Hen said, "There is nothing strange about the Medical Hall itself. However, the Medical Hall is so famous that even Minister Xing visited. Other nobles with headaches or fevers will come too. Maybe she was waiting for someone here."

Minister Xing thoughtfully said, "What you said also makes sense, or maybe she simply wanted to fake her death to conceal her identity. That way, she could operate in the shadows. After all, who would suspect a dead person? But now I am puzzled, did the owner of the Xianle Inn really die? If not, where is he? If he did die, then who are they working for?"

There was also a minor innkeeper, Xiao Hen thought to himself.

Xiao Hen said, "My wife is also from this Medical Hall. I will talk to her later and have her send someone to keep a close watch on Mo Qianxue. As long as we keep an eye on her, we will always be able to find some clues."

After thinking for a while, Minister Xing said, "Alright, we’ll do as you said. Tell your wife to be careful, Mo Qianxue is skilled."

Xiao Hen nodded, "I know."

Minister Xing then asked, "Aside from you, who else knows about these things?"

"The Empress Dowager."

In the sleeping hall of Renshou Palace, Eunuch Qin quietly called to the Empress Dowager Zhuang, who was sitting by the window.

Empress Dowager Zhuang regained her focus and lightly pinched two candied fruits from her plate, "What is it?"

Little Jingkong was skilled at tattling, always the first to run to Gu Jiao whenever Empress Dowager Zhuang snuck a treat.

However, the little fellow also sensed Empress Dowager Zhuang’s downcast mood and secretly offered her two candied fruits.

Eunuch Qin said, "Nothing much, it’s just that Miss Gu instructed this old servant to prepare some Ginseng Soup for you before she left. The Ginseng Soup is ready, should I bring it to you now?"
