Chapter 146 Who is the spy?
Xie Ying quickly figured out the whole plan, but unfortunately Xiangxiang was out delivering a letter, so she had to wait for her to come back before she could proceed.
On the other side, inside the post station.
Luo Zheng asked Feng Xinyi, "How much do you trust the man who shot the sleeve arrow at me last night?"
Feng Xinyi frowned: "Are you doubting him?"
Luo Zheng did not deny it: "I received news that someone has been targeting you since you showed your expertise in gynecology. Not only did they arrange for someone to lurk around you, they also deliberately spread the word that you are a miracle doctor. That's why Concubine Jiang has set her sights on you."
Feng Xinyi's expression darkened instantly. "To conceal my identity, I've always kept a low profile. When my reputation as a miracle doctor suddenly spread, I had a feeling something was amiss.
However, there were more than a dozen patients at the time, and many of their conditions could not be delayed, so I had to stay and continue treating them.
If there really is someone plotting this behind the scenes, I'm afraid those patients were intentionally brought in to slow me down."
Hearing this, Luo Zheng couldn't help but disagree. "Xinyi, I know you're a kind-hearted doctor and you don't want your patients to suffer. But this world is treacherous. If you're too kind, it will only bring you endless trouble."
Feng Xinyi couldn't help but retort, "I'm not that kind-hearted. Many of those patients are wealthy and generous."
She would not be as stupid as her father, a doctor with a kind heart, but ended up killing himself.
Luo Zheng had no choice but to continue the previous topic: "Who do you think has problems among those people around you?"
Feng Xinyi said without hesitation, "Changming and Baisui have been with me for many years, so there's no doubt they'll be fine. As for that guy from last night, he and his wife are probably the ones lurking around me."
She sighed, "They came to me just two months ago. The man said his name was Zhang Da, a hunter in the village, and the woman was his wife, Li Daya.
The two people were poisoned after eating mushrooms they picked from the mountains and brought home. They were about to die and were pulled to my place on a cart. I detoxified them and saved them.
However, the two men were seriously poisoned and needed to be recuperated for a period of time, so they could not hunt for the time being.
They said their families couldn't afford the money and they couldn't go hunting for the time being, so they could only work to make ends meet.
I didn't want to be seen as a sucker, so I agreed, thinking I would first see how the two of them performed, and then chase them away if they had any bad intentions.
As a result, they have always been honest, so I did not suspect anything. Before you brought people to chase me, they followed me all the way to escape, I was a little touched, I think they are too loyal.
It wasn't until last night when he suddenly shot his hidden arrow at you that I realized something was wrong. He's just a hunter from the village, and he actually dared to kill you!
It's just that it was too late last night, and apart from shooting that arrow, there was nothing wrong with him. So although I have doubts, I can't be sure that he has any bad intentions.
I never thought that a mere doctor like me could be targeted, and someone would deliberately arrange for someone to lurk around me."
Feng Xinyi finished her speech with a mocking sneer and suddenly asked Luo Zheng, "Since you've got the news, I think you know who's behind this?"
Luo Zheng didn't say anything, but just took her hand and wrote the word "Chen" on her palm.
Feng Xinyi's mind raced, and she quickly guessed something. She pointed toward the sky and asked softly, "Which family is it?"
"That's right." Luo Zheng's expression turned serious. "So the plan needs to change. We can't let you fake your death and get away with it again."
Feng Xinyi's face darkened in dissatisfaction: "I didn't intend to fake my death."
She and Luo Zheng have been husband and wife for a long time, and she also has a blood feud with that man. How can she get away?
It's not that she hasn't thought about revenge over the years, but it's just too inconvenient to have a child with her.
She was also worried about her two children.
Given that person's identity, even if she could successfully take revenge, she would probably not be able to escape death in the end.
But if she died, what would happen to the two children?
Now that she has met Luo Zheng, and he has become a favorite of Concubine Jiang, how can she fake her death and escape, letting him return to the capital alone and bear Concubine Jiang's wrath?
That Imperial Concubine Jiang was said to be cruel and ruthless, and had a very bad reputation.
She had always wanted to give birth to a prince, so she asked the Black Kirin Guards to visit famous doctors all over the world.
It is conceivable that if Luo Zheng fails in his mission this time, he will definitely have to face the wrath of Concubine Jiang when he returns!
At this time, she didn't know that there were already palace maids slandering Luo Zheng for defiling the harem.
If Luo Zheng failed to bring her back to the capital, the trip back would be a life-or-death journey.
Luo Zheng was afraid of getting her angry, so he didn't dare to argue with her about the fake death. Instead, he asked, "What about Changming and Baisui? Are they really reliable?"
Feng Xinyi nodded and softly explained the two people's origins.
Longevity and a hundred years of life are both considered her guards.
Changming is a man, but he has a very large burn scar on his face, which almost ruins his appearance, so he looks a little vicissitudes of life, like he is in his forties or fifties.
Feng Xinyi was not sure of his exact age because he had suffered a very serious injury that not only disfigured his face, but also damaged his voice and lost his memory.
There was a long, centipede-shaped scar on his neck, the result of his throat being cut with a knife and then sewn up with needle and thread by the person who saved him.
Although he managed to survive, his voice was damaged and he could no longer speak, only making some hoarse and indistinguishable sounds.
Baisui is a girl, not too old, only eighteen years old.
But she was born with black spots on her face, very ugly, and was regarded as a monster. If her mother had not risked her life to save her, she would have been drowned in a urine bucket at birth.
Her biological mother was divorced by her husband's family and had to take her back to her parents' home. However, her brothers and sisters-in-law thought Baisui was unlucky and wanted to throw her out and let her remarry.
After Baisui's biological mother finished her confinement at her parents' home, she had to take Baisui away from her parents' home and struggle to survive outside.
Fortunately, Baisui was very sensible. As soon as she could walk, she started helping her biological mother. At the age of six, she took the initiative to sell herself to a circus troupe and left the money to her mother.
Because her mother met a very good man, but was worried that Baisui would be despised, she didn't dare to think about remarrying.
Baisui didn't want his mother to continue suffering for him, so he secretly sold himself so that his mother could remarry and live a good life in the future.
She stayed in that circus for eight years. Although her life was very hard and she was treated like a monster, she learned a lot of skills and saved some money.
The circus troupe was performing all over the country, and when they saw that they were about to visit where her mother was, she performed even harder, hoping to earn more money so that she could leave more for her mother.
Unexpectedly, before she could see her mother, she frightened a noble lady so much because of her ugly appearance that she came to bleed, and was beaten seriously by the lady's family with sticks.
That noble lady was the eighteenth concubine of the local prefect. How could the circus troupe dare to keep her if she had offended the prefect?
So he simply abandoned her at the door of the clinic and fled from the city.
