Ah, you traveled through time too?

Imperial Physician Li Yunqing had a solemn expression on his face. After being summoned by the Queen Mother's bedroom, he quickly launched an investigation into the destruction of the reward list. After leaving the Queen Mother's bedroom, he went straight to the Queen's residence. This was also his first step in fulfilling the Queen Mother's recent instructions.

Imperial physician Li Yunqing pushed the door open and saw the queen sitting quietly in the room. She was concentrating on reading a Buddhist scripture with a peaceful expression.

"Doctor Li, what do you think?" the Queen asked softly, motioning Li Yunqing to sit down.

"Your Majesty, have you noticed anything unusual or out of the ordinary in the palace recently?" Li Yunqing asked directly, without beating around the bush.

The queen frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "There has been no special abnormal situation recently, and everything in the palace is normal. However, some maids seem to be in poor mental state recently and may need more care and attention." There was a hint of worry in her tone, and she was particularly attentive to everything in the palace.

"The maids are not in good spirits?" Li Yunqing's mind moved, he thought this might be a clue. "Your Majesty, can I meet some of the maids and learn about their situation? Maybe I can find some valuable clues from them."

The queen thought about it and nodded: "Well, go ahead. But you must be careful about your words and actions, and don't stimulate them too much, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Li Yunqing quickly stood up and saluted to express his gratitude. Then he said goodbye and left the Queen's bedroom. He already had a preliminary direction in his mind, and he would do his best to find out the truth of the matter.

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment, then called a palace maid beside her, "Hui Niang, have you noticed anything unusual in the palace recently?"

Hui Niang replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have not noticed any unusual movements in the palace."

The Queen Mother was slightly disappointed. She knew it was difficult to get useful clues from ordinary palace maids. But she did not give up easily. "Okay, you can go down."

Imperial physician Li Yunqing secretly observed all this and understood it clearly. He knew that if he wanted to find out the truth about this matter, he might have to start from other channels.

After returning to his courtyard, Li Yunqing pondered for a long time. He suddenly thought of a place, the Rose Garden. The Rose Garden was one of the Queen's favorite places and a place she often visited. Perhaps, some clues could be found there.

The next day, Li Yunqing quietly came to the rose garden and observed it. As expected, in a corner of the rose garden, he found a palace maid busy and flustered.

Li Yunqing's heart moved, and he decided to go and ask. Approaching the palace maid, he gently said: "Miss, have you found anything unusual in the palace recently?"

The maid was startled, but quickly regained her composure, "Master Imperial Physician, I didn't notice anything unusual."

Li Yunqing smiled slightly. He knew that this kind of palace maid would not have too many clues. However, he did not intend to give up. "Okay, you continue to work."

Imperial physician Li Yunqing thought secretly in his heart. He knew that in order to get to the bottom of this matter, he might have to look for other more useful clues.

Imperial physician Li Yunqing decided to continue looking for clues. He came to the teahouse in the palace, where palace officials often gathered, and perhaps he could get some useful information from them.

In the tea room, Li Yunqing happened to meet an attendant who was an acquaintance of the Imperial Hospital. Li Yunqing seized the opportunity to talk about some recent events in the palace.

The attendant looked a little nervous, but still tried to cover it up by answering, "Master Imperial Physician, there has been nothing unusual in the palace recently."

Li Yunqing's heart moved. He knew that such officials would not easily reveal secrets. He decided to change his angle and try to start from the official's feelings.

"Have you heard of anything strange recently?" Li Yunqing asked deliberately.

The attendant hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Master Imperial Physician, I recently heard that someone in the palace was poisoned, but the details are not clear."

Li Yunqing was delighted. This was exactly the information he wanted to know. He continued to ask, "Do you know who was poisoned?"

The attendant shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either. I heard that she was a maid in Mei Fei's mansion."

Li Yunqing thought to himself that the maid in Mei Fei's mansion was poisoned, which coincided with his guess. He decided to continue to investigate and see if he could find more clues.

Li Yunqing frowned slightly, feeling a little anxious about the progress of the investigation. He decided to change his angle and try to find clues from other maids in the palace.

He turned and left the tea room, heading for the resting place of the palace maids, where he met a young maid named Fang Xin.

Fang Xin was surprised to see Li Yunqing coming and bowed respectfully. Li Yunqing smiled and asked, "Fang Xin, have you noticed anything unusual recently?"

Fang Xin hesitated for a moment, a trace of uneasiness on her face, "Master Imperial Physician, I didn't find anything unusual."

Li Yunqing looked at her deeply. He knew that maids often found it difficult to speak directly and might need some stimulation to tell the truth.

He suddenly changed the subject and said softly, "I heard that someone in the palace was poisoned recently. This is a very serious problem."

Fang Xin's expression changed slightly, and she was obviously touched. She said hesitantly, "My Lord, I... I have also heard about this matter, but I don't know the details."

Li Yunqing's heart moved. He knew Fang Xin was hiding something, but it was inconvenient to ask too much. He could only continue to test and see if he could get more clues from her.

"Do you know who was poisoned?" he continued.

Fang Xin shook her head. "I...I really don't know, Master Imperial Physician."

Li Yunqing hesitated for a moment and decided not to ask any more questions. Instead, he said tentatively, "I know you are also a member of the palace. If you have any difficulties or secrets, just tell me and I will do my best to help you."

When Fang Xin heard this, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, but she remained vigilant, "Master Imperial Physician, I...I will be careful with my words and actions."

Seeing this, Li Yunqing knew that it would be difficult to continue to ask questions. He could only think secretly and look for other clues to see if he could uncover the truth of this conspiracy.

Li Yunqing took a deep breath and looked at Fang Xin with a firm gaze. "Fang Xin, I know you may have some concerns in your heart, but I must emphasize that this matter is related to the stability and security of the palace. If you have any clues or find anything unusual, please tell me."

Fang Xin was a little shaken after hearing what Li Yunqing said. She knew that the matter was of great importance, but she was worried about her own safety and did not dare to tell the truth easily.

"Master Physician, I will do my best to cooperate with your investigation." She finally gave a vague answer.

Li Yunqing nodded to show his understanding. He knew that such an investigation would not be smooth sailing, but as long as there was a clue, there was hope of solving the mystery.

In the following time, Li Yunqing and Fang Xin communicated a lot. Although no clear clues were obtained, Li Yunqing felt that she seemed to know more, but was just unwilling to reveal it easily.

Just as they were immersed in the conversation, a palace maid came hurriedly and reported to Li Yunqing in a panic: "Master Imperial Physician, the Queen Mother has something urgent to see you."

Li Yunqing's heart moved, and he immediately stood up and followed the palace maid out of Fang Xin's room. He knew that the Queen Mother must have something important to tell him. Perhaps this would be a key moment to solve the mystery.

Li Yunqing was anxious in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface. He decided to put aside this clue for the time being and look for other possible clues.

He left Fangxin and continued to patrol the palace, looking for clues that could reveal the truth of the conspiracy. During his constant questioning, he finally met a maid named Yalin.

Yalin looked a little nervous when she saw Li Yunqing, but she still bowed respectfully. Li Yunqing smiled and asked, "Yalin, have you noticed anything unusual recently?"

Yalin hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "My Lord Imperial Physician, I...it seems that some palace maids have fallen ill recently."

Li Yunqing's heart moved, and he immediately asked: "Are you sick? What are the symptoms?"

Yalin frowned, thought for a moment and said, "They seem to have been poisoned by some strange poison. The symptoms include dizziness, nausea and vomiting."

Li Yunqing was shocked when he heard this. This was consistent with the information he had heard before, and it seemed that there was a clue that could be followed.

"Do you know the specific circumstances of their poisoning?" Li Yunqing asked.

Yalin shook her head. "I'm not sure, Doctor. They don't often communicate with me."

Li Yunqing looked at her deeply, and then said encouragingly: "If you find anything, be sure to tell me, I will do my best to help you."

Yalin nodded with a complicated expression, but still retreated respectfully.

Li Yunqing was full of thoughts, he knew there were many unknown mysteries waiting for him to solve. He just didn't know what conspiracy was hidden behind all this, and who was the real mastermind behind it.

Li Yunqing continued to patrol the palace, constantly questioning the palace maids and eunuchs, trying to find more clues. He questioned everyone in detail, hoping to find some key information.

In front of a palace gate, he met a young eunuch with twinkling eyes. Li Yunqing stopped, frowned slightly, and asked, "What do you want?"

The young eunuch hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Master Imperial Physician, I...I have some information, I wonder if it will be useful."

Li Yunqing's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What information? Tell me quickly."

The young eunuch swallowed and said nervously, "I heard that someone has been buying and selling poison in the palace recently. It seems that someone wants to deal with the royal family."

Li Yunqing's heart moved when he heard this. This was an important clue. He immediately asked, "Do you know who is selling poison?"

The young eunuch shook his head. "I just heard some rumors, but there is no solid evidence."

Li Yunqing thought for a moment, then said encouragingly: "Thank you for your information. If you have any new information, be sure to tell me."

The young eunuch nodded, his expression somewhat relaxed, and then hurried away.

Li Yunqing's heart was burning with excitement, and he felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth. He decided to go to the Queen Mother immediately to report the situation, hoping that the Queen Mother would give him support and help.

Li Yunqing turned and left Yalin, with new clues in his mind, but also more confused. He knew that in order to uncover the truth of this conspiracy, more evidence and clues were needed.

He continued to patrol the palace, asking the maids and servants if they had found anything unusual. In a corner, he met a young maid named Yaoer.

"Yao'er, have you noticed anything unusual recently?" Li Yunqing asked.

Yao Er replied nervously, "Master Imperial Physician, I...I didn't find anything abnormal."

Li Yunqing frowned slightly. He knew that some palace maids might be afraid or unwilling to tell the truth, but he still decided to continue asking.

"Don't worry, I won't blame you." Li Yunqing comforted him softly, "Any subtle clues may help us find out the truth."

Yao Er relaxed a little after hearing what Li Yunqing said. She hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "My Lord Imperial Physician, recently... recently some palace maids have been sick."

Li Yunqing's heart moved, and he asked: "Are you sick? What are the symptoms?"

Yao'er described the symptoms of the palace maids, which were similar to what Yalin had said. Li Yunqing thought to himself that the poisoning of these palace maids did not seem to be accidental, but an organized and planned action.

"Do you know why they were poisoned?" Li Yunqing asked again.

Yao Er shook her head. "I don't know, Doctor. But...but I heard someone said that he was poisoned because of the tea he drank."

When Li Yunqing heard this, his heart moved. He knew that this might be an important clue. He thanked Yao'er again, then hurried away to continue his investigation.

In the fog of this conspiracy, Li Yunqing felt like he was groping in the dark. But he firmly believed that as long as he persevered, he would eventually find the light of truth.
