Lu Ying was still sorting out the pulse case in his hand when he looked up and saw Yan Qi walking in.

"Your Majesty!"

As he said this, Lu Ying was about to stand up and salute.

"No need to be polite."

Yan Qi raised his hand to stop him.

"I came here to ask you about the acupuncture you gave to Huayin.

Whatever you want me to do, whatever tools and people you need, just tell me."

Yan Qi stood in the yard, tall and slender, his usually stern face full of worry.

"As long as it can help with her treatment, I will find a way."

"Your Highness is worried and confused this time. Master has passed away, and I am his only disciple.

The medical skills I learned were all taught by my master, and no one else can help me."

Lu Ying added one more sentence after he finished speaking.

“Your Highness, don’t worry too much. When my master taught me the Thirteen Ghost Needles, he said that the effect of this acupuncture method is too special and it is possible that I will never be able to use it once in my lifetime.

I have never used the Thirteen Ghost Needles since I learned them. Miss Zhao is the first one to use them, so I said I am only 70% sure.

But I have been with the prince for quite some time, so he should trust me."

"Of course I trust you. If you want to give me acupuncture, I won't worry at all. It's just that Huayin is weak and can't stand it."

"Your Highness is wrong. The use of Thirteen Ghost Needles has nothing to do with physical fitness. The key to success lies in the mind.

People with strong minds can increase their chances of success, and a relaxed and happy mood can improve one's ability to withstand stress. If the prince is really worried, he might as well spend more time with Miss Zhao.

If Miss Zhao is not afraid or resists during acupuncture, it will help the acupuncture to be successful."

After listening to Lu Ying's words, Yan Qi seemed to be thinking about something. He paused for a moment before asking,

"Is she physically fit enough to go out now? Would it help if I took her somewhere else to relax?"

"Miss Zhao's current condition is stable. As long as she is not stimulated or frightened, she will be fine. She also needs to take the medicine on time."

Yan Qi said no more. He just told Lu Ying to prepare well for the acupuncture and left.

After coming out of Lu Ying's yard, Mu Xiao also came back with medicine.

"Master, His Royal Highness Prince Jin sent someone to tell you that His Majesty has summoned you to the palace as soon as possible!"

"understood."

Yan Qi's face showed no emotion, he just said calmly,

"Send the medicine to Lu Ying."

After saying that, he walked outside.

Mu Xiao didn't dare to delay, so he gave the medicine to Lu Ying and chased out.

When Yan Qi entered the palace, he did not go to Changqiu Palace to pay his respects, but went straight to Jiaotai Palace.

The attendants around King Jin were waiting at the door. When they saw Yan Qi coming, they hurried forward to pass on the message.

"Your Highness, Prince Qin, my Highness has ordered me to remind you that no matter what His Majesty says, please keep your composure and do not conflict with His Majesty. My Highness will handle the rest."

Yan Qi raised his eyebrows, wondering why Emperor Hui summoned him, which made the King of Jin feel like he was facing a powerful enemy and specially sent people to wait here.

"The king knows."

Yan Qi answered and walked inside.

As soon as Yan Qi entered the hall, he noticed that the atmosphere in the hall was a little stagnant. Looking closer, he found that Emperor Hui was half leaning on the couch with a very gloomy face.

There was a man kneeling in front of Emperor Hui, kowtowing deeply with his face almost touching the ground.

Yan Qi only took a cursory glance and thought she must be an elderly lady.

"My son, please see your father!"

"boom!"

Emperor Hui threw a teacup to Yan Qi without saying a word.

Perhaps the wound was hurt when he threw it, and Emperor Hui let out a "hiss" and threw the teacup off target, not hitting Yan Qi.

"Look at what you've done!"

Emperor Hui shouted angrily, but Yan Qi knelt there without even moving.

"I don't know what I have done to cause your Majesty to be so angry. Please explain it to me."

When Emperor Hui saw Yan Qi acting so calmly, he became even more furious.

"I thought that even if you don't have much ability, you can still manage a city defense camp well. Who knew you would be so useless!

Allowing your subordinates to harass a girl in the boudoir is simply outrageous!"

"I don't understand, what does your Majesty mean by this?"

I wonder who this person who was lying on the ground complaining was, and who could have made Emperor Hui so angry.

"You still dare to say you don't know?"

Seeing that Emperor Hui was about to get angry again, the eunuch beside him tried to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, calm down. You must put the dragon's body first!"

After saying this, he hurried to calm Emperor Hui down.

"Mrs. Zhao, you say!"

The person lying on the ground finally raised his head, and Yan Qi finally saw clearly who came to complain.

The old lady of the Zhao Mansion!

"Your Majesty, my granddaughter has been ill since the flower viewing party. She has only gotten better after being carefully cared for recently. Who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin would send the city defense battalion guards to take her away today!

My granddaughter has always been timid, and after being frightened by this, she became even more ill. I will sue His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin for disregarding human life, and I hope Your Majesty will punish me severely!"

After hearing this, Yan Qi finally understood that someone had been sent today to take Zhao Huaqin back to the city defense camp for questioning.

Considering that she was Zhao Huayin's cousin after all, Yan Qi ordered that she should not be put in shackles and just be taken back for questioning.

Didn't expect that someone would take advantage of my temporary courtesy?

Yan Qi's face immediately turned cold, his eyes were cold and intimidating, he looked straight at Old Madam Zhao and asked,

“After investigation, the City Defense Battalion discovered that Zhao Huaqin had met the accomplices who tried to assassinate His Majesty before the flower viewing party.

I wonder if Madam Zhao knows what crime she would be guilty of if she were to associate with an assassin? And what crime would she be guilty of if she were to shield and condone the assassin?

The City Defense Battalion is responsible for protecting the capital's security, so they naturally have to investigate this matter. Is it wrong to protect His Majesty's safety?"

Yan Qi's eyes were cold and just a glance from him was enough to make people's hearts tremble, let alone the fact that Old Madam Zhao was being stared at by him like this.

"Does His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin have any evidence? Such a serious crime is something that neither the Zhao family nor my granddaughter dare to bear.

If your Majesty the Prince of Qin has any accusations, please produce the evidence!"

Mrs. Zhao pretended to be calm and said these words, but her back was already covered with cold sweat.

"The evidence from the City Defense Camp can only be seen by the Emperor. Could it be that Madam Zhao wants to make a judgment on behalf of His Majesty?"

Yan Qi's voice was cold, and he said this on purpose, just to see how Emperor Hui would deal with the matter.

Yan Qi had just come in, and Emperor Hui threw things at him without knowing the truth.

After listening to what Yan Qi and Old Madam Zhao said, Emperor Hui just asked Old Madam Zhao to stand up.

"It's inevitable that you'll be confused for a while when you're old. Get up."

Old Madam Zhao thanked her in a hurry.

"Your Majesty is so gracious, I thank you for your grace!"

Old Madam Zhao got up from the ground, but Emperor Hui was indifferent to Yan Qi.

"Since it's just a misunderstanding, you can investigate it as you wish. Since it concerns the assassin who tried to kill me, you must investigate the matter thoroughly and never let him off lightly!"

Seeing Emperor Hui's handling of the matter, Old Lady Zhao dared not say anything more.

Yan Qi sneered in his heart.

As expected, as long as it involves himself, Emperor Hui will not let go of suspicious people easily.

"Yes! My son, please retire."

When Yan Qi came out of Jiaotai Palace, the King of Jin had been outside the palace for a long time.

"Father is always harsh on Fourth Brother. Don't be sad, Fourth Brother. Just be patient for a while and everything will be fine."

“If I don’t have any expectations in my heart, I won’t feel disappointed. I don’t have to waste my time and energy on people who are not worth it!

You go in now and tell mother that I have official business today and I will come to see her another day."

After saying that, Yan Qi left without looking back.

Zhao Huaqin actually persuaded Old Madam Zhao to come before the emperor to make trouble. I guess the story behind this must be very complicated.

Yan Qi prepared to meet her.
