Qiu Shangjing looked at Qin Feng sincerely. Qin Feng knew that Qiu Shangjing was Xuanyuan Zhiling's best assistant, but she felt it was strange. Xuanyuan Zhiling had just been so cold with her.

"Then I'll have to thank Lord Qiu, but Lord Qiu, Qin Feng is no longer a empress, so Lord Qiu can call me by my name, Qin Feng." Qin Feng smiled as she looked at Qiu Shangjing.

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Qiu Shangjing's face quickly revealed a complex expression, but Qin Feng did not care at all. It was only when Qiu Shangjing had finished preparing and was about to leave did Qin Feng finally heave a sigh of relief.

"empress, you can safely open a doctor here. If there is anything you need this subject for, I will help you settle it even if you have to go through thick and thin." With that, Qiu Shangjing turned and left.

When the figure of Qiu Shangjing and the old lady disappeared from the entrance of the Returning Spring Medicine Hall, Qin Feng fell into deep thought. Could this Qiu Shangjing really have appeared right when they were about to enter the infirmary?

A lot of questions surfaced in her mind, Qin Feng faintly felt that there was something strange here. If this Qiu Shangjing was really sent by Xuanyuan Zhiling, why didn't he bring him into the palace as well?

And just now, Xuanyuan Zhiling was even treating her coldly, it was clear that he misunderstood her.

Qin Feng felt that there was a huge secret behind this Qiu Shangjing.

"Is this Doctor Qin?" Just as Qin Feng was deep in thought, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Qin Feng. Qin Feng jumped in shock, turned around, and discovered that it was actually a young man.

Qin Feng frowned and asked: Who are you?! "Where did you come from?!" Qin Feng stared at the young man in shock. He had delicate features, other than his slightly shabby clothes, there were a few obvious patches on his body. However, his clear eyes seemed to be able to see through a person's heart.

"Doctor Qin, it's that Mister Xuanyuan who asked to help you. I'm an assistant on Donglin Town." As the youth spoke, he saw that Qin Feng was staring at him the entire time, so he was a little nervous and a little nervous.

"You were found by Xuanyuan Mocheng?" Qin Feng was obviously not polite, because as long as Qin Feng heard the words Xuanyuan Mocheng called, she would immediately have doubts towards the youth in front of her.

The youth nodded, then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he anxiously added: "Oh right, Doctor Qin, my name is Chong Shan." Chong Shan didn't dare to look Qin Feng in the eye when she was speaking. Normally, Qin Feng would never doubt someone like this, because the expression on his face was extremely sincere and simple.

"Alright, since that's the case, Chong Shan, you will be in charge of handling the big and small matters of my medical hall. Since Xuanyuan Mocheng hired you, he should have already arranged for you to receive the money right?" Qin Feng said indifferently, without a trace of a smile on her face, and with quite the demeanor of a shopkeeper.

Chong Shan nodded and stood in place, seemingly at a loss of what to do.

"Doctor Qin, what do you need Chong Shan for now?" Chong Shan lowered his head and asked.

Qin Feng looked up and saw that the youth's face was slightly pale. She shook her head and said, "There's no one sick right now, so there's nothing much to do. You can go clean up the medicine cabinet or something."

Her entire mind was filled with Qiu Shangjing now, and she kept having the feeling that the Qiu Shangjing she saw today was a little different from the usual Qiu Shangjing.

"Chong Shan, let me ask you, how long have you been living in the Donglin Town for?" Qin Feng went to find the shop assistant, Chong Shan, and asked after hesitating for a while. Because Qin Feng didn't know if this Chong Shan was in cahoots with Xuanyuan Mocheng, and what the heck was Qiu Shangjing doing?

Chong Shan was a little embarrassed to look directly into Qin Feng's eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Chong Shan has been living in this Donglin Town since he was young, and he has never left it."

Qin Feng looked at Chong Shan's flustered appearance and knew that he couldn't pretend to be nervous at all, because Chong Shan's face was almost red to the neck.

"Oh, it's fine. Go back and busy yourself." Qin Feng knew that if it was like this, she wouldn't be able to get much out of her.

Chong Shan opened the curtain and went into the resting area of the infirmary. Qin Feng stood alone in front of the medicine cabinet and carefully checked if all the medicines were complete.

"Musk? Why are there so many? " When Qin Feng saw that the musk smell was so numerous compared to the other medicinal herbs, an ominous feeling arose in her heart. What the hell was this Xuanyuan Mocheng doing?

Qin Feng seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of coldness quickly flashed past her expression.

"This Xuanyuan Mocheng has really put in a lot of effort for me." Qin Feng's tone carried a strong sense of ridicule. The place where musk was most often used was the place where pregnancy medicine usually contained a lot of it. Xuanyuan Mocheng intentionally placed so much musk here, it was obvious that he had ulterior motives towards Qin Feng.

But Qin Feng was not stupid, she knew that if she were to take all the musk away, it would definitely arouse Xuanyuan Mocheng's suspicions. Thinking about that, Qin Feng sneered, and closed the drawer with a bang.

Throughout the morning, there was not a single patient at the Returning Spring Medicine Hall. Qin Feng was bored to death as she sat alone in front of the clinic.

"Doctor Qin, Mister Qiu is here." Chong Shan hurriedly ran in from outside the door, and upon seeing Qin Feng, her face revealed traces of panic.

A complicated expression flashed across Qin Feng's face when she heard this.

Without waiting for Qin Feng to speak, Qiu Shangjing who was standing at the door walked in. When he saw Qin Feng, Qiu Shangjing immediately put aside the seriousness on his face and walked forward with a smile.

"Huang …" Oh, Doctor Qin, I've come to see if you need anything. " Qiu Shangjing was completely different from the loyal Qiu Shangjing from before, he had a flattering smile that made Qin Feng feel disgusted.

Even though Qin Feng was disgusted, she still smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Qiu. I do not have anything I can help with, thank you for your consideration."

When Qiu Shangjing heard this, he was first stunned, then his expression quickly flashed with a hint of coldness.

"That's good. If there's anything I can't take care of, please forgive me, Doctor Qin. If I can't take care of Doctor Qin, the Emperor won't forgive me." Qiu Shangjing said as a strange smile flashed across his face.

Qin Feng laughed, which was considered a form of courtesy.

"Mr. Qiu, was it the emperor who asked you to come here to meet me?" Qin Feng asked indifferently, but she already had the answer in her heart. She knew that Xuanyuan Zhiling would never arrange for Qiu Shangjing to come here, because as an emperor, he would never be muddleheaded enough to let his trusted aides handle his family matters.

Obviously, Qiu Shangjing was startled when he heard Qin Feng's words.

"Of course. Otherwise, why would I, Qiu, act without authorization?" Qiu Shangjing said, and laughed even more, as though he did not have a single flaw. Of course, Qin Feng would not immediately fall out with this old fellow, so she chuckled and said: "Thank you very much, Mister Qiu."

Qiu Shangjing coming to Qin Feng's place was merely to probe Qin Feng, but from Qin Feng's indifferent look, Qiu Shangjing could already see some clues, and Qin Feng seemed to be suspecting him.

Three years ago, when Xuanyuan Mocheng was fighting for the throne, he had already anticipated that he would possibly fail. Thus, in order to guarantee the success of his great undertaking, he had wanted to plant a trusted aide by Xuanyuan Zhiling's side. However, he was afraid that due to Xuanyuan Zhiling's suspicions, Qiu Shangjing would use these three years to slowly climb up from the bottom level.

Sure enough, Qiu Shangjing came to Xuanyuan Zhiling's side three years later, because Qiu Shangjing was outspoken, had a spirit that wasn't afraid of death, and dared to say things that others didn't dare to say. Even if he risked being beheaded, for the past few years, he had been on thin ice;

It was precisely because Qiu Shangjing's words did not care about the consequences, and did not hesitate to point out Xuanyuan Zhiling's problems in any way, that Qiu Shangjing quickly obtained Xuanyuan Zhiling's trust.

Now was finally the time to reveal his true face, and Qiu Shangjing was still a little not used to it.

In the middle of the night, Qin Feng stayed in the room at the back of the infirmary. For some reason, perhaps it was because she had changed her environment that night, but Qin Feng kept tossing and turning in his room. Even though she was already working very hard, Qin Feng still couldn't sleep. She always had a bad feeling about this.

However, at this very moment, within a dilapidated little house in the Donglin Town, there was no candle flame. He could vaguely see a black shadow standing in front of the window of the small house.

At this moment, a sneaky black shadow also walked into the small shack.

"Master, you were looking for me?" The voice was not unfamiliar, it was Qiu Shangjing.

"I've nurtured you for so many years, and now you're finally going to be of use. Tell me, how's the plan going?" The person who spoke was Xuanyuan Mocheng. It was a very late night, and one could not clearly see the expression on his face when he spoke, but one could still feel a hint of gloominess emanating from his body.

Qiu Shangjing was startled for a moment, then said: "I feel like Qin Feng has already started to suspect me today." When Qiu Shangjing said this, he appeared to be lacking in confidence, but his tone was still calm.

Xuanyuan Mocheng was clearly not satisfied with the answer, so he coldly laughed: "You mean that you may fail this time? If you fail, don't come see me. " Xuanyuan Mocheng's words were extremely heartless, but Qiu Shangjing was not surprised.

"Yes, if my operation this time is a failure, I would rather die to apologize." After saying that, Qiu Shangjing lowered his head and no longer spoke.

Hearing Qiu Shangjing's words, Xuanyuan Mocheng's tone eased a little and said: "I have nurtured you for so many years, and you have always been loyal to me. You have also helped me a lot previously, but this time, we can only succeed and not fail.

Qiu Shangjing firmly nodded his head upon hearing Xuanyuan Mocheng's words.

Qin Feng lay on the bed, tossing and turning. Just as she was about to lose her calm, a black figure suddenly flashed by the window and she jumped out of the bed out of fright.

"Who is it!" Qin Feng coldly asked. For a moment, Qin Feng thought that she was hallucinating, because she was just too nervous today.

But in reality, it was quiet outside the window. Qin Feng took a deep breath and laid on the bed, wanting to continue sleeping. Even though Qin Feng was still completely awake.

"Qin Feng, it was hard on you to find me, so you were hiding here." Outside the window, a melodious voice suddenly sounded. Even if this voice had turned into ashes, Qin Feng would still recognize it.

Qin Feng frowned, a look of vigilance quickly flashed across her face.

"Song Mingzhi? Why is it you? " Qin Feng became nervous, because Qin Feng never thought that Song Mingzhi would find him so quickly. Could he have gotten the news from Xuanyuan Mocheng's place?

Thinking to this point, Qin Feng's expression became ugly.

"Of course it's me. Why don't you want to see me?" When Song Mingzhi said this, he had already opened Qin Feng's window and flipped in.

Qin Feng sighed softly when she saw Song Mingzhi who was standing in front of him.
