It was already evening when we came out of Prince Jing's Mansion.

Wedding cake stood at the gate of the palace and waved goodbye to him, while Chen Ji stood on Anxi Street with a heavy heart.

He walked in the afterglow and smelled the aroma of cooking in every household on the street, and then he felt relieved.

Dark clouds poked their heads out from the eaves and jumped into his arms: "Who beat Bai Prajna? I didn't beat it!"

Chen Ji smiled and touched its head: "No one beat it, it was just a reason why Concubine Yun wanted to summon me into the palace."

He murmured to himself: "At that time, Concubine Yun said that Concubine Jing's lead-barium glass was given to her by her mother's family, so I didn't think much about it. But now looking at the relationship between Concubine Jing and the Liu family, maybe it's not good

Someone did it on purpose...Has she cursed the Liu family recently?"

"Yes, she cursed her brother Liu Mingming, very dirty."

"That's right." Chen Ji sighed with some emotion: "I only focused on reasoning and logic at that time, but I didn't think about human nature in depth. Sure enough, human nature cannot be judged by common sense. But it's not me who makes Mrs. Liu so angry.

I didn't give the cup, and I didn't kill Liu Shiyu. If she didn't take revenge on the Liu family and the Secret Intelligence Department, why would she target me... Hey, Liu Shiyu was also killed and silenced by the Liu family. There is a ruthless person in the Liu family.

!”

Chen Ji took a breath of air. He reviewed all the clues and suddenly discovered that the Liu family was extremely ruthless and had no regard for their own family members: "Mr. Liu in the coffin, couldn't he be killed right away?!"

Wu Yun stood in awe: "Ferocious!"

Is this cruelty useful? Of course it is. If it were not so cruel, Yun Yang and Jiaotu would not have been imprisoned. Instead, the Liu family would have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Back in the medical clinic, Old Man Yao was behind the counter, looking at the account books and fiddling with the abacus, feeling quite sophisticated and yet unclear...

Chen Ji smiled and joked: "Master, couldn't you just throw a copper coin and settle the account and be done?"

Old Man Yao glared at him: "Stop talking such nonsense, I think you are itchy. Fortune telling can only tell the direction, how can you calculate the amount of money?"

"Where are the senior brothers?" Chen Ji asked curiously.

"I went to cook in the backyard." Old Yao squinted at him: "Didn't he go to diagnose the cat? Didn't he prescribe some medicine to treat it?"

"No……"

Old Man Yao sneered: "How cautious you are in doing things. Even if it is not injured or sick, you still have to prescribe some cheap trauma medicine and send it to the palace. You have to do a good job in acting, otherwise people will find out sooner or later."

Chen Ji was startled for a moment: "Thank you, Master, for reminding me. Ginger is still spicy. I will send you some cnidium tomorrow."

He walked to the backyard. In the kitchen, only Liu Quxing was washing rice and cooking porridge, but She Dengke was not seen.

Just when Chen Ji was about to go to the apprentice's dormitory, he saw She Dengke opening the door and coming out.

She Dengke was shocked when he saw Chen Ji: "Hey, didn't you go to the palace?"

Chen Ji said: "The white cat was not seriously injured. I took a look and came back. What was Senior Brother She doing in the house just now?"

"I'll just change my clothes and go. I'll help choose the vegetables. After a while, I'll be scolded by the master if I'm slow in cooking," She Dengke pulled Chen Ji toward the kitchen.

However, at this moment, the sound of neat footsteps was heard outside the hospital, as well as the sound of armored scales clashing together as the guards walked.

Chen Ji noticed that She Dengke's hand squeezing his arm suddenly tightened, and the sweat in his palms could be felt through his clothes.

Old Yao walked to the door, frowned and said, "Miss Chunhua, General Wang, what are you trying to do by blocking the door of my Taiping Medical Center?"

Chen Ji broke free from She Dengke's hand and walked out. Liu Quxing also came out of the kitchen with a spoon: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Outside the Taiping Medical Center, Chunhua was extraordinarily simple today, just wearing a light green skirt, without any jewelry on her body, and her hair was only held up with a wooden hairpin.

Chunhua looked worried and hesitated to speak. Beside her, the palace guards were all holding long halberds and wearing heavy iron armor. The leader was looking at her with sharp eyes.

Chen Jixiao asked: "Miss Chunhua, what are you doing?"

But I heard Chunhua say to the captain of the palace guard: "General Wang, my wife lost the South Sea pearl that the prince gave her a few days ago. We first checked the maids in our Wanxing Garden and found no whereabouts of the pearl.

After thinking about it later, I found that only this apprentice from the medical clinic named Chen Ji had ever been to Wanxing Garden and even rummaged through my wife’s belongings!”

Chen Ji frowned, Concubine Jing!

After Concubine Jing lost her son and nephew, her revenge came quickly and urgently, and it didn't happen overnight!

General Wang stared at Chen Ji indifferently: "What can you say that might prove your innocence?"

Chen Ji was silent for a moment and said calmly: "Others have accused me of stealing things. It is difficult to prove my innocence in this kind of thing."

On Anxi Street, shopkeepers and waiters of each shop were holding open the door and looking around. They were about to close, but they didn't expect to eat a big melon.

Someone whispered: "Dr. Chen from the Taiping Medical Center stole something from the palace?"

"It is said that it was a South Sea pearl that Prince Jing gave to the princess. I have heard of this thing. A pearl is as big as a longan, and one pearl can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver!"

…

…

Chen Ji listened to the discussions around him, his expression unchanged.

General Wang stared at him for a long time, and finally said gloomily: "Control this apprentice and go in and search!"

After that, the two guards raised Chen Yi's arms, one on the left and the other on the right. The guards' arms were like iron rings, tightly holding Chen Ji's arms so that he could not move and it was painful.

Chunhua followed the guards into the hospital: "General Wang, I'll look for it too. I've seen that pearl before, so it's easy to identify."

Chen Ji watched her enter the hospital, open the drawers of the medicine cabinet one by one, and rummage through all the medicinal materials.

Old Yao looked at him coldly: "General Wang, if there is really a thief in our Taiping Medical Center, I will resign and go back to my hometown, and never set foot in Luo City again. But if there is no thief in our Taiping Medical Center, you should

How do you say that?”

General Wang bowed his hand to him from a distance: "Yao Imperial Physician, I am also acting under orders. Miss Chunhua has taken Concubine Jing's belt. I must be ordered to arrest the thief. Besides, people's hearts are separated from each other. How do you know that you are like this?"

Is the apprentice a thief?"

Old Yao suddenly snorted angrily: "I'm sure he's not!"

Chen Ji looked at Old Man Yao in surprise, but he didn't expect that the other man would come out to speak for him at this time.

While she was talking, Chunhua had already entered the backyard. She first rummaged through the kitchen, and then entered the apprentice's dormitory.

But he saw her rummaging around on the bed, and finally stared at the apprentices' wardrobes.

Chen Ji understood that the other party was just pretending to search other places before, and this was her real goal.

Chunhua knew from the beginning that Pearl was here!

Chen Ji looked at She Dengke and saw that the other person's tall and strong figure was nervous, his hands were twisted together, and there was no color on his lips.

When She Dengke saw Chen Ji, he hurriedly turned his eyes away and did not dare to look at him.

This is a premeditated frame-up by She Dengke and Chunhua!

Chen Ji frowned, but She Dengke had clearly never left the hospital, and Chunhua had not been to the hospital today either. How did they pass on the information and pearls?

Chen Ji looked around. There was only a wall between the backyard of the medical center and the palace. If someone spoke on the other side of the wall, they could be heard in the backyard.

The courtyard wall is not high, so it is not difficult to throw a pearl over.

Chen Ji suddenly asked: "Senior Brother She, do you like Chunhua?"

She Dengke was stunned for a moment and subconsciously took a step back: "Ah? What are you talking about? I don't understand what you are talking about."

Chen Ji shook his head: "It's okay..."

Liu Quxing looked at Chen Ji and said worriedly: "You're not really stealing anything, are you?"

Chen Ji denied: "No, I will never do such a petty theft in my life."

Liu Quxing believed him when he saw what he said, but Liu Quxing clearly felt that Chunhua was confident and very sure.

He looked at Master again: "Master, please say something quickly."

But old man Yao remained silent and said nothing. If he really wanted to find evidence of his crime, no one could help Chen Ji.

At this time, the guards came out of Old Man Yao's main room and shook their heads at General Wang.

Everyone looked at Chunhua in the apprentice's dormitory. Chunhua was rummaging through the closet like crazy, and finally stood in front of the closet blankly, trembling with his back to everyone, and crying.
