"Yes." Gu Mian went there quickly.
"I'm afraid that Zhang Yingzi will not be able to come out until Old Man Zhang gets better this time." Li Mumu guessed, "Zhang Yingzi is a liar. If the Saint suspects that Old Man Zhang is not suffering from an acute illness but is poisoned, and thinks of Su Zhier's prediction about him, then the Saint should think that the poison that Old Man Zhang was poisoned with may also be his."
Gu Shangqing nodded, "We have guessed before that if Old Man Zhang really poisoned someone instead of suffering from an acute illness, the other party chose Old Man Zhang and used such an expensive poison on an ordinary citizen like him in order to test the effect of the poison."
"Ordinary people don't know any dignitaries, so they don't have the opportunity to ask the imperial physician for treatment." Gu Shangqing said, "But Old Man Zhang is different. He now has enough money to seek medical treatment. If the folk doctors can't help him, he can come to the capital to seek our help."
Gu Shangqing recalled, "As soon as Zhang Yingzi met him, he wanted to ask the imperial physician for treatment."
When Li Mumu brought Doctor Li with her at the beginning, Zhang Yingzi complained to Li Mumu that she did not invite a royal physician for Old Man Zhang.
"But we have to be careful. Now we seem to have directly determined that Old Man Zhang was poisoned." Li Mumu reminded Gu Shangqing, "But this is just our guess and we can't make a conclusion based on this. Besides, Zhang Yingzi wanted the imperial physician to treat him because the folk doctors couldn't help, so they could only rely on us to find an imperial physician for Old Man Zhang."
Gu Shangqing nodded, "It's just that the Saint probably also had this guess, which is why he asked the Queen to summon Zhang Yingzi."
Li Mumu nodded.
Thinking of Zhang Yingzi's proud and smug look when she left, Li Mumu sighed and said, "I hope she can be careful with her words and actions in the palace and not get herself into trouble."
The people in the palace are not so good-tempered.
As he was talking, Chief Butler Yao came over and said, "General, Madam."
"Manager Yao, from today on, strictly manage the servants in the mansion and don't let them come into contact with people outside the mansion." Li Mumu said, "Before Old Man Zhang recovers from his illness, it is strictly forbidden for anyone in the mansion to call the errand shop, and it is also strictly forbidden for people in the mansion to leave the mansion at will."
"If you need to buy something, you need to register with you. You also need to register with you when you go out and when you come back. You also need to register with you in person when you come back." Li Mumu said, "Ask the concierge to check and register with you once. When you go out, you need to register with the concierge once. When you come back, you need to register with the concierge once and with you once."
"Make sure the handwriting on your register is the same as the one registered with the concierge." Li Mumu thought carefully and said, "Tell the concierge to be more careful. Don't let someone go just because they are wearing similar clothes and body shapes without seeing their faces clearly."
"Also, as for the shopping, Manager Yao, you should select a few trustworthy people to do it during this period. Or ask someone to go with you, don't let him go alone." Li Mumu said, "If he goes alone, he won't be able to tell where he went and who he met."
"Yes." Yao Xingcai responded.
"During the period when Old Man Zhang is getting better, you have to take care of the mansion more." Li Mumu said, "Especially the time when Old Man Zhang is getting better, which is very critical. Don't let any trace of Old Man Zhang's condition be leaked."
Yao Xingcai's face turned serious and he said, "I understand."
"The government has suddenly tightened its control, and there must be many people who have complaints. Tell them to be patient and just endure for a while." Li Mumu said, "In an emergency, if you don't want to get into trouble and even lose your life, just be honest and don't make any mistakes."
"Yes." Yao Xingcai rarely saw Li Mumu so serious.
Knowing this is something that is extremely important.
If it involves life, it might be related to the palace.
Yao Xingcai naturally did not dare to take it lightly and hurried to do it.
Ciyuan Hall.
Eunuch Xu brought Zhang Yingzi outside the palace. Eunuch Xu smiled and said to Zhang Yingzi, "Miss, please wait outside."
Zhang Yingzi was waiting outside the hall, and soon someone came and took Zhang Yingzi in.
Zhang Yingzi's heart was beating fast with nervousness, and she lowered her head, not daring to look around.
Walking into the hall, with his head slightly lowered, he could only see the hem of the queen's skirt.
Even without getting close, I could see that the material used for the Queen's skirt was extremely expensive, and the embroidery on hand was exquisite.
"I am Zhang Yingzi, a commoner, paying my respects to Her Majesty the Queen." Zhang Yingzi knelt down, her voice trembling as she spoke.
"Good child, get up." The queen said softly.
Zhang Yingzi felt more at ease when she heard the queen's gentle voice.
Once I let go of my mind, I couldn't help but float.
After standing up, he smiled sweetly at the queen.
Don't elders like innocent and cute children?
Zhang Yingzi thought, those in high positions must be tired from fighting and scheming all the time in the palace.
Naturally, I like simple and pure people more and more.
There is no need to worry about being calculated and taken advantage of, and there is no need to worry about others plotting against you.
Zhang Yingzi looked up and saw the face of the Queen. Her eyes lit up and she blurted out, "Your Majesty, you are so beautiful."
"Young lady, how can you raise your head and bump into the Empress without permission?" Eunuch Xu said.
Zhang Yingzi lowered her head in panic, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I've never seen you before, so I don't know the rules. But your voice is so gentle and pleasant, and I feel very warm. I lost my mother when I was young, and I rarely feel this kind of warmth anymore."
"The feeling that Your Majesty gives me is like... like..." Zhang Yingzi knew that she couldn't say the rest of the sentence, so she didn't finish.
But who among those present could not understand what she meant? Eunuch Xu sneered in his heart, this girl is really shameless!
"How dare you!" Eunuch Xu had been quite polite just now, but this time he rebuked her harshly without mercy, "You are not someone you can just cling to as you please, Her Majesty!"
There are many people who want to curry favor with the powerful, but it is rare to find someone like Zhang Yingzi who is not afraid of death and has no intention of concealing her true feelings. She wants to recognize the queen as her godmother as soon as they meet.
If Zhang Yingzi wasn't still useful now, she would have been dragged out and beaten long ago.
The queen stopped Eunuch Xu, "The child is ignorant, don't scare her."
"Don't say such things carelessly in the future." The Queen said in her gentle voice. "Since you don't know the etiquette of the palace, I won't punish you today. But don't do it again, otherwise I can't protect you anymore."
"I...I didn't know that I couldn't say these words." Zhang Yingzi knelt down hurriedly, "Please forgive me, Queen."
"Good child, ignorance is not a crime, get up." The queen said softly.
Zhang Yingzi stood up slowly, but she did not dare to look up again, remembering what Eunuch Xu had just said.
But she bore a grudge against Eunuch Xu in her heart.
When Eunuch Xu was at the Gu family, including on the way to Ciyuan Hall, he was very polite to her.
Who would have thought that he would turn against me just now.
