Chapter 383 Prepared surprise
  The lobby was in chaos. Shen Zhuoxi took the opportunity to get close to Jing Muling and asked in a low voice: "Is this arranged by the prince?"
  "The masses have sharp eyes." Jing Muling turned her head and whispered in Shen Zhuoxi's ear: "There is no need for me to arrange it. They really found out with their conscience."
  "You have done so much for the people. Even a blind man like me knows it, let alone them."
  The two were so close that they could smell each other's breath.
  Jing Muling's breath hit her ears, and Shen Zhuoxi instantly got goosebumps, and his face turned slightly red unconsciously.
  She stepped back a little, opened the distance between the two of them, and said, "My lord, please don't make fun of me. Also, what if Zhizhou sends someone to inquire about the peasant woman's house and finds out some clues?"
  "Don't worry, it has been arranged a long time ago." Jing Muling said with a smile: "There is indeed a man at home who broke his leg, and there is also a bedridden woman. When they went to check, they couldn't find anything."
  "Do you want to continue watching the next great show?"
  Zhizhou has sent people to invite Qi Zhi.
  The next step is to interrogate Qi Zhi. Qi Zhi is cunning and the city is very deep. Jing Muling had no intention of overthrowing Qi Zhi this time, so Qi Zhi will definitely be able to get away with it.
  Shen Zhuoxi thought for a moment and said, "I don't want to read it anymore. I know the result even if I think about it, so why waste time."
  "Okay." Jing Muling said, stood up and said to Zhizhou: "You just handle it impartially. It is not convenient for me to stay here for a long time, so as not to misunderstand others."
  "Farewell to His Highness King Yu." Zhizhou quickly stood up and saluted, saying: "The villain will deal with it impartially and will not let His Highness King Yu down."
  As soon as Zhizhou said this, the people behind him also shouted.
  "Regards to His Highness King Yu."
  Shen Zhuoxi followed Jing Muling two steps, and after hearing this, he deliberately opened a few steps away.
  Jing Muling noticed her little movement and slowed down to wait for Shen Zhuoxi.
  He continued walking towards the carriage until the two were side by side.
  Only when she got into the carriage did Shen Zhuoxi feel more at ease.
  "When will we set off for Lizhou?" Jing Muling lowered the curtain of the carriage and said seriously: "The Medicine Market Conference will open in just a few days, and it will take several days to rush there from Shengdu."
  "If you want to arrive on the first day of the market, you have to leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
  "We should have set off in the next few days." Shen Zhuoxi paused and sighed: "Shen Xinyu suddenly appeared, bringing with him someone who I don't know whether to call Qi Zhi or Qi Liandao."
  "I'm worried that things will get out of control when I come back after leaving Shengdu. The Medicine Market Conference is in twenty days, so I might as well leave later."
  "There are a lot of good things at the Medicine Market Conference, but it doesn't matter if you go late." Jing Muling saw this and said, "If you want to go, I will keep an eye on Shengdu."
  "Don't worry, with me here, neither Qi Zhi nor Qi Liandao can afford to cause trouble. Besides, he is currently staying in Shengdu under the guise of a medicine shop."
  Shen Zhuoxi was stunned for a moment, then thought of what Xian Muling said earlier, and hesitated: "Didn't the prince say that he would also go to Lizhou Medicine Market to find out who poisoned you?"
  "Besides, Shen Xinyu is involved. The prince is a man and it is difficult to deal with many things. Why don't we stay together for a few days to make sure that they can't make trouble for the time being before setting off?"
  "There is no rush to track down the poisoner." Jing Muling paused and said, "Your matter is the most important thing, don't delay."
  "I..." Shen Zhuoxi hesitated.
  She really wanted to leave for Lizhou as soon as possible, not because of the Medicine Market Conference, but because she wanted to enter the Valley of Miracle Doctors through the Medicine Market Conference.
  Ten years have passed, and I don’t know what the Miracle Medical Valley has become.
  Those questions must be answered as soon as possible.
  But here in Shengdu, Qilian Dao is like a timed cannonball, no one can tell when it will explode.
  Especially the strange things about Shen Xinyu.
  Thinking of this, Shen Zhuoxi briefly talked about Shen Xinyu's pregnancy and said, "I suspect that the child in Shen Xinyu's belly belongs to Prince Jingye."
  "At first, I didn't understand why Qi Zhi went to all the trouble to marry Shen Xinyu, knowing that Shen Xinyu was pregnant with someone else's flesh and blood. Could it be that he was the one who couldn't do it?"
  "Based on what the prince said, Qi Zhi is a traitor expelled from Beilong Kingdom. He also obtained defense plans from Dongchen Kingdom back then, and he has some means."
  "I'm worried that he wants to use this child to rebel, or has other intentions."
  "When you say that, it's really possible." Jing Muling's face became solemn: "If there is no benefit, we can't do it early. Qi Liandao must have a plan. Fortunately, you found out in time."
  "I am also suspicious, but I haven't verified it yet." Shen Zhuoxi concentrated and said, "I wanted to check Shen Xinyu's pulse this morning, but she seemed frightened and was afraid that I would suddenly take action."
  "If it's not that she's infertile, or there's something wrong with the months, Qi Zhi knows medical skills, so the possibility of Shen Xinyu being infertile is very small, but we don't rule out them joining forces for a show."
  "I will inform the prince after I take Shen Xinyu's pulse."
  Jing Muling nodded, and then warned: "Qi Liandao is very thoughtful, and he is protected by the Crescent Moon Sect. Even in the Shen family, you must be extremely careful in your actions."
  "Liancheng Yingyue and the four of them are not weak in martial arts. You will recall them all to protect you. In addition, I will also arrange for other secret guards to come over."
  Shen Zhuoxi nodded and said: "I know that the prince must also be careful. Since he fought Qi Liandao many years ago, he may not have forgotten it after so many years."
  Jing Muling understood what she meant, so she hummed and said, "I'm going to the palace soon. Do you want to go visit the Queen Mother together?"
  "That's fine." Shen Zhuoxi thought for a while and said, "I'm leaving for Lizhou soon. I'm busy in the next few days. I guess I won't be in Shengdu for a while, so I can just inform the Queen Mother."
  The two of them parted at the entrance of the palace. One went to the Queen Mother's Palace from Changxiang, and the other went to Chengqian Palace to see the emperor.
  The Queen Mother was still playing chess with herself, as if she had entered a difficult situation, with a solemn look on her face.
  Even Aunt Guirong didn't dare to disturb her. When she saw Shen Zhuoxi coming over, she softly saluted and said hello, and then explained: "The Queen Mother started thinking about it after breakfast, and she kept saying that she was in a dead end."
  "It's been an hour. I'm worried that the Queen Mother will suffer from old illnesses if she lowers her head for a long time. Second Miss, you're here. Please go and persuade the Queen Mother."
  "Well, please help me prepare some hot water." Shen Zhuoxi nodded and said, "I'll go and say hello."
  "Your Majesty, please give my regards to the Queen Mother." Shen Zhuoxi walked closer and observed for a while before speaking.
  The Queen Mother came back to her senses from the chessboard. After seeing her, she reacted for a while and then said in surprise: "Zhuo Xi, why do you have to come to the Ai family today?"
  "It's my fault that I haven't come to see you for some time." Shen Zhuoxi took out the snacks that had been prepared and said, "I brought you some snacks. I heard from Sister Guirong that you have been here for a while. .”
  "Playing chess is important, but you should also take care of your health."
  "Gui Rong, you are always talkative." The Queen Mother pretended to be scolded and said, "You are here just in time, and the Ai family has prepared something for you."
  "Huh?" Shen Zhuoxi paused and said, "The Queen Mother has given you a lot of dowry, how can I dare to ask for more gifts from you?"
  "It's not a gift. You'll know just by looking at it." The Queen Mother had a mysterious look on her face and brought Shen Zhuoxi to the table and motioned her to look at what was on it.
