Zhao Xi rubbed his forehead, "It's no use waiting. You know my master left a few days ago for Southwest and Taifu. We won't see him until it's dark."
He seemed agitated, pacing back and forth in the corridor, and even kicked the wall in frustration.
This kick startled both Hao Dingshan and the other person, making them hold their breath.
However, their eyes widened in disbelief. They never expected that just by following Meng Yunzheng's servant, they would stumble upon such a big secret.
The conversation outside continued, and Xia Yan sighed, "Master Zhao, we all know about this matter, but the officials at the government office might not believe it."
"What can we do if they don't believe it? If there's no one, there's no one. Can I conjure someone up? My master's departure is not a secret, many people know about it."
"What if they want you to contact him?"
Zhao Xi sneered, "How do I contact him? My master is on the road now, and I don't even know where to send a letter. Not to mention chasing after him; he likes to wander into remote mountains and forests, searching for medicinal herbs. No one can predict which path he'll take. Finding him? It's impossible."
He snorted, "Originally, he said he would wait until my wife gave birth before leaving, but when news came from Taifu about a rare medicinal herb, he immediately left without a second thought."
As he spoke, he angrily wiped his face, "Now, I'm worried that if they can't find my master, they might make me go to the capital instead. I really don't want to get involved in all this; it could cost me my life."
Hearing this, Xia Yan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but held back.
Zhao Xi frowned, "If you have something to say, say it."
Xia Yan hurriedly replied, "It's not me; it's what my young master said. He said you don't need to worry about this matter, master Zhao. Although your medical skills are remarkable, you might not be as skilled as the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital in the capital. The person they are interested in is probably old Doctor Zhao, not his disciple..."
As Zhao Xi's face grew darker, Xia Yan quickly changed the subject, "Anyway, our young master just asked me to inform you of the situation and be prepared. When you meet the officials, be honest and don't get involved in any tasks they might offer after promising rewards. Let's just lead a peaceful life and avoid meddling in the affairs of the capital."
Zhao Xi glared at him, "Do you need to tell me this? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"Well... master Zhao, let's go back now. Otherwise, if the officials wait for us and come here, it won't be good."
Zhao Xi took a deep breath, "I'll wash my face, and then we'll go back."
After saying that, he took a couple more deep breaths before walking towards the front shop with a tense expression.
Once they left, Hao Dingshan and the other person quickly came out and left through the back door without saying a word.
Only after they had walked a considerable distance away from the medical clinic did they exchange a glance, still shocked by what they had heard.
"Do you think what they said is true?"
Hao Dingshan had doubts, but he felt it was highly likely.
Who was Meng Yunzheng? He was the person who had deceived Gong Qiu and made him turn in circles. His analysis and speculations were quite accurate.
He speculated that someone in the palace must have been poisoned, and that seemed to be the case.
