Shang Zhi looked at Xue Shenzhi in confusion.

The mute doctor treated Xue Shenzhi very strange from the beginning. When he was in the workshop, he did not get close to others or even communicated with others.

The mute doctor took the initiative to chat with Xue Shenzhi and even interrogated his family background, which made people wary of his motives.

Shang Zhi was always wary of the mute doctor and never thought that he would come to Beijing.

Xue Shenzhi raised his hand and handed it to Shang Zhi, explaining the reason why the mute doctor came to Beijing. "The mute doctor is in Beijing. He has been away from Beijing for twenty years. Now this year's festival cannot resist his homesickness, so he came to Beijing to visit his relatives."

Shang Zhi's cold eyes fell on the mute doctor. His eyes were dead and without a trace of anger. Naturally, Shang Zhi couldn't see his emotions from it. "Did you see your relatives? Do you want us to find them for you?"

The dumb doctor shook his head and gestured with his hands a few times.

Xue Shenzhi said: "He said he had seen his relatives. Now he doesn't want to be seen by his relatives, so he just thinks he no longer exists."

Shang Zhi looked at the dumb doctor's burned face and broken tendons. This look at his relatives will make his relatives sad. If his relatives see a living person, it will be better than not.

After hearing Shang Zhi's words, the mute doctor waved his hands repeatedly, unwilling to recognize his relatives.

Shang Zhi asked, "What's your surname?"

The mute doctor fell silent, and a trace of turbulence seemed to flash in his eyes. Finally, he dipped his fingers in tea and wrote the next word "Chong".

In an instant, he wiped the water marks with both hands.

This time, the mute doctor gestured to the two people for a long time.

Shang Zhi frowned and couldn't understand it very much.

Xue Shenzhi said: "He said that his existence and identity should not be revealed, nor should he investigate him. If he attracts attention, it will bring disaster to us."

The dumb doctor nodded, with a serious and serious expression.

Shang Zhi frowned and thought deeply. The dumb doctor was named Zhong and had medical skills. She couldn't help but think of Zhong Hospital envoy.

Will the two of them be related by blood?

"What is your relationship with Zhong Yuan Envoy?" Shang Zhi asked when he thought of it.

The mute doctor shook his hands and flipped over the teacup. He hurriedly picked up the cup and placed it in a straight way. He wiped the water stains with his sleeves, pinched the wet sleeves, and didn't say anything more.

Shang Zhi had already got the answer from his reaction.

He is indeed from the Zhong family.

What happened to him back then? He became like this?

Shang Zhi couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it. The left and right had nothing to do with her. As long as the mute doctor had no intention of harming them!

The mute doctor came to the capital to see how Xue Shenzhi was recognized. Then he felt that he was thinking too much. Xue Shenzhi is now just an ordinary poor official, how could he attract the attention of those people?

Some secrets that reached the mouth were seen by the book on the table, and the mute doctor swallowed it into his stomach. After sitting for a while, he stood up and left.

He worked in the workshop, and Lin Xinyi paid him his wages. With the cost of chariots, there was still some money left, which was enough for him to live in the inn.

The mute doctor spread a piece of black cloth covering his head, only revealing his eyes, and went to the inn.

When he walked into the inn, a little boy tripped on the threshold and fell to the ground, crying loudly.

The mute doctor paused and bent down to help the child up.

The little boy grabbed the black scar on the mute doctor's face and showed his ugly scar on his face. He was so scared that the little boy stopped crying, and his tears were filled with fear.

The mute doctor pulled out the black-faced towel from his hand, and walked into the inn while tidying up. He passed by someone head-on. The two stopped at the same time and looked back at each other. The mute doctor suddenly became tense. He tried hard to keep himself calm and went upstairs as if nothing had happened.

Xingning Hou stood there, looking at the figure who was going upstairs, his eyebrows frowned.

"Mr. Marquis, do you know that person?" Zhu Chun followed Xingning Hou's gaze and looked at the dumb doctor who had disappeared from the second floor.

The Marquis of Xingning frowned. This person looked like a bell. When the dead soldier came back from sending a message, he was already dead?

"Don't you think he is like a person?" Xingning Hou looked sideways at Zhu Chun.

Zhu Chun just glanced at half of the scarred face.

"Zhongming." Xingning Hou spitted out two words, and Zhu Chun's heart was shocked, "How could it be?"

Xingning Hou looked at the shocked Zhu Chun and walked out of the inn with his hands behind his back. Twenty years have passed, and the things that happened back then have been covered with dust. What is the reason why Zhong Ming returned to Beijing at this time?

Xingning Hou suddenly thought of a possibility, "Will that child be alive back then?"

Is Zhong Ming going back to Beijing for that child?

Otherwise, how could he take the risk of going to Beijing?

Zhu Chun looked complicated. If Zhong Ming returned to Beijing, would the incident happen that year come back to the surface?

Ning Ya was imprisoned and gave birth to a child. She was worried that the child would be in danger of life, so she took the child away to Zhong Ming and sent it back to the county prince's mansion, set fire to the house to attract the guards so that Zhong Ming could escape. Zhong Ming did not dare to approach the imperial city, so she went south to escape. Finally, the dead soldier came back to report, and he had already fallen into the river and died with his child in his arms.

After so many years, my father and mother still cannot get out of the pain, cannot forgive him, and expel him from the prince's mansion.

Every time Zhu Chun closes his eyes, the picture of that year will appear in his mind.

Ning Ya was engulfed by the fire, and the strong hatred made the eyes lit up amazingly. Just staring at him like that made him creepy.

A cool air appeared in Zhu Chun's body, and in a few breaths, he made a decision in his heart, "The matter of the past has settled. It is better not to come out for those who shouldn't have appeared."

The Marquis of Xingning said in a secret way: "I am just thinking of this."

Xingning Hou made a gesture and the guard immediately went up to the second floor, but there was no trace of the dumb doctor.

"Marty, you have already escaped." The guard came back to report.

Xingning Hou said coldly: "Send someone to stare at the Zhong family, and any suspicious persons will be investigated strictly."

"yes."

The Marquis of Xingning said to Zhu Chun: "You are the only son of Prince Jia, and you need you when you are old and you are sent to him. How can you revenge between father and son? Ning Ya is not something you killed. She set fire to her own fire, so how can she blame you?"

Zhu Chun remained silent. He knew whether it was true.

The two of them separated.

The mute doctor crawled out of the dog hole in the alley, and was Taoxi Street separated by a wall. He leaned against the wall to breathe.

He Pingzhang happened to get off the ox cart and suddenly saw a scarred face. He was startled. He took out more than a dozen copper plates from his sleeve and paid them to the coachman. He looked up at Yong'an in Linhe Restaurant, and raised his foot to prepare to enter the restaurant. His steps suddenly stopped. He remembered that he had been burned by fire. Seeing the mute doctor's miserable appearance, he took out dozens of copper plates and placed them at the mute doctor's feet, and then turned around and entered the restaurant.

Yuxiu happened to see this scene and said to Princess Yong'an: "Your Highness, isn't this the young master you met on the New Year's Eve?" muttered: "I am very poor and I have made money to support people who are more depressed than him. His character is pretty good."

Yong'an glanced at Yu Xiu with a sideways glance, and Yu Xiu immediately shut up.

"You can't look at people. Some people are hard to tell even themselves in their own disguise, let alone people they don't know?" Yongan looked at He Pingzhang's white-washed robe, his shoes were patched, and frowned and said, "You are all poor and you still have pity for others. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Yong'an raised his chin slightly and signaled Yuxiu to look.

Yuxiu saw He Pingzhang being stopped outside the restaurant because she could not afford the ten cents of tea to enter the restaurant.

Yong'an took out a five-liang of silver from his money bag and handed it to Yuxiu and gave it to He Pingzhang.

Yuxiu took the silver to He Pingzhang.

He Pingzhang did not take the silver, but looked at Yong'an. When he saw her, he seemed stunned and smiled at Yong'an. After a moment of hesitation, he took the silver, did not enter the restaurant, but waited outside for Yong'an.

Yong'an was in a bad mood today. When he came out of Qin's mansion, Bao Ling had already driven away the carriage. He originally wanted to ask the Qin family for a carriage, but later he thought of the scenery of Taoxi Street, so he came to the restaurant to sit. It happened that the Qin family did not use lunch, so he rested for a while after lunch. It was already two hours after he came out.

Yong'an walked out of the restaurant and saw He Pingzhang squinted in the corner, stomping his feet in the cold.

When He Pingzhang saw Yong'an, he hurriedly came up and handed the silver to Yong'an, "Miss, I can't accept your silver for no reason."

Yong'an looked at the mute doctor who was missing on the street, curled his lips and said, "I gave it to you."

He Pingzhang was stunned and looked at Yong'an blankly, his handsome face turned red, "Little... Miss, I am still diligent in all my limbs and can earn money. If you... if you don't dislike me, I will paint. How many paintings are for you, how many taels of silver?"

Yongan looked at He Pingzhang unexpectedly, as if he didn't expect her to speak badly. He still didn't mind, but instead insisted on having to exchange for silver.

"I don't have time to let you paint. If you want to paint, remember what I look like. Ten days later, I will send someone to this restaurant to pick it up." Yong'an left this sentence and took Yuxiu back to the palace.

He Pingzhang watched Yong'an get on the carriage and left, lowered his head to look at the silver ingot in his hand, and an unknown light flashed in his eyes.

When he chose Yong'an, he described Yong'an's appearance over and over again in his heart. How could he not draw it?

This is also a test and difficulty for Yong'an?

The corners of He Pingzhang's mouth raised slightly, as if he was going further forward.

——

Imperial Palace, Baohua Palace.

Bao Ling returned to the bedroom, covered her slightly uncomfortable abdomen and ordered Xiang Ning, "After Doctor Liu returns to the palace, please ask him to come and ask me for the pulse."

Xiang Ning raised her heart and said worriedly: "Your Highness, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Bao Ling leaned on the broad couch, "Just go, why ask so many questions?"

"Yes." Xiang Ning immediately went to the Imperial Hospital to wait.

In about half an hour, Xiang Ning invited Doctor Liu.

Doctor Liu was uneasy. Bao Ling asked him to go to Baohua Palace just to ask for peace?

He was worried that Bao Ling was coming for the Qin Mansion.

Xiang Ning went in to report, then came out and invited Doctor Liu in.
