Chapter 222: Imperial Physician of the Former Dynasty
Mr. Meng waved his hand nonchalantly, "No, you can help me dry these books tomorrow."

Shen Jiaojiao raised her lips and smiled, her plan succeeded.

If we only rely on the time when the tonic soup is delivered every night to search, there is no telling how long we will have to wait to find it.

It would be better to just suggest showing off the books directly.

But... her adoptive father acted so frankly that her doubts deepened.

She was sure that Mo Qian was a good person. He was willing to give her the jade pendant that could summon the Shen family army, so he obviously wouldn't lie.

But why would Mo Qian identify his adoptive father without any reason?
My godfather is also a good man!
In her memory, her adoptive father was very kind to her. She grew up sitting on his lap reading sage books, and heard him talk about General Shen's heroic deeds countless times.

A few days ago, she ran into her brother-in-law and her father-in-law arguing about the Nanzhu Trading Company in Qiongzhou. Her brother-in-law felt that the people in the company were undisciplined and did not make any money, so it would be better to just close the store. However, her father-in-law thought that those old guys had worked hard without any reward, so they should not be treated lightly.

Would such a person really frame General Shen?
If no evidence of guilt is found tomorrow, it will prove that my godfather is innocent.

While thinking, Shen Jiaojiao returned to Mingzhu Courtyard.

Ke Xin loosened her hair and asked someone to prepare water for her to bathe.

After washing up, as soon as she came out of the bathroom, she saw Aoxue standing outside the east wing, seeming to have been waiting for a long time.

"What's up?"

Shen Jiaojiao waved her hand, signaling the other maids to leave, and then took Aoxue's hand and walked towards the small couch.

The master and servant sat on the small couch hand in hand.

"Something happened." Aoxue's face was heavy. He let go of her hand and handed her a booklet. "Miss, please read this."

Her eyebrows jumped and she reached out to take the booklet.

Opening the first page, there is beautiful small seal script inside, which records the date and vegetables, fruits and meat in detail.

"What is this?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

"The main kitchen sends dishes to Qinghui Courtyard. I go to the main kitchen every day to select dishes and write them down along the way."

Because the matter was of great importance, Aoxue did not delegate it to anyone else.

"Have you found the problem?" Shen Jiaojiao asked again.

Aoxue nodded and followed her hand to turn the booklet to the last few pages.

"Miss, look at the dishes we've had these past few days. Eating them individually won't cause any problems, but cooking them together will easily cause toxins to accumulate in your body."

"Didn't you say that?"

"No, it's different."

Aoxue had a stern face, as if he had encountered a difficult problem that was difficult to solve.

"Miss, you don't know, when I saw those dishes a few days ago, I thought the chef had given up on poisoning Meng Hun.

“There will be no problem if you eat this, this and these together.

"But I changed my mind and wondered why the person behind the scenes had persisted for so long and suddenly changed his mind. Then I consulted a lot of medical books and finally found a clue in the fragments of medical books from the previous dynasty.

"The former imperial hospital chief Wu has studied medicinal diet for many years and has integrated a set of health-preserving theories, and has also recorded these key points."

Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao's face gradually darkened.

Doctors can save the world and the people, but they can also bring harm to the people.

Aoxue's meaning was very clear. A descendant of the former imperial physician had sneaked into the Meng Mansion. This person was proficient in medicine and continued to poison his brother through food!
If Aoxue had not recorded it every day and read the medical books, the matter might have been hidden.

Shen Jiaojiao saw that the "previous dynasty medical book" was a breakthrough, and quickly asked: "Why didn't the previous dynasty's medical skills pass down?"

"Miss, you don't know that this Wu Yuanshu has always been proud of his achievements in treating the concubines in the harem, and he is unwilling to make public the key points of his medical skills, so they have not been spread among the people."

"Then how can you find the medical books of the previous dynasty?"

Aoxue was quite frank and told the stories of her ancestors.

It turns out that Aoxue's ancestor was a medicine-decocting boy in the previous dynasty's Imperial Hospital. When the previous dynasty was overthrown, all the people in the Imperial Hospital robbed all the gold and silver and ran away.

The boy who boiled medicine couldn't compete with others, so he cleared out all the medical books piled in the storeroom, including the notes of Dean Wu.

After escaping from the palace, the medicine-decocting boy found a job weighing medicines in a clinic based on his familiarity with medicinal materials, and also trained his descendants to read and write.

With the help of the medical books collected at home, Aoxue's ancestors learned medical skills and have passed them down to this day.

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned and stared at the woman in front of her without blinking.

After a while, she came back to her senses, her face full of amazement.

“This is truly God’s will!”

Who would have thought that Aoxue's family actually had medical books from the previous dynasty hidden in their home?

There happened to be Dean Wu’s notes inside.

Aoxue shook her head. "Miss, now is not the time for us to relax. Think about it carefully, how could the descendants of Dean Wu appear in the Meng Mansion?"

"I understand. I will tell my brother about this. You continue to keep an eye on the kitchen. If you can find the descendant of Dean Wu..."

Shen Jiaojiao paused and swallowed the rest of her words.

"No, don't stare at the big kitchen anymore. I'm afraid something might happen to you."

This matter can be big or small.

It's no longer within her control.

When it comes to the previous dynasty, one must be extremely cautious. She can't let Aoxue bring about a fatal disaster!
Aoxue pondered for a moment, with a look of struggle on his face, and it was obvious that he was unwilling to do as she said.

"Miss, I want to continue staring..."

Shen Jiaojiao frowned, "Are you going to die?"

"The former Wu Yuan Shou had more than just these means. I must keep an eye on him and confirm whether the one hiding in the dark is Wu Yuan Shou's descendant."

"You don't need to do anything about it." She flatly rejected Aoxue's idea, "I'll ask my brother to check it out. This is his own business."

Aoxue pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke out the words.

"Miss, this is not just about Meng Hui, it's also about you..."

"Me?" Shen Jiaojiao was stunned, and quickly remembered the poison in her body. "You mean, the poison in my body is related to this person?"

"Yes." Aoxue lowered her eyes and said firmly, "So I must take care of this matter."

Her father's greatest wish is to protect General Shen's only child, Shen Jiaojiao.

Now that she has finally found the trace of the person who poisoned her, how could she let him go so easily?
Shen Jiaojiao shook her head, "No, it's too dangerous. I can't let you take this risk."

After that, Aoxue tried every way to persuade her, but she refused to give in.

She also called Keying over and ordered, "Keep an eye on Aoxue for the next few days and don't let her leave Mingzhu Courtyard."

Keying was startled and her eyes glanced at Aoxue who was sulking with her head to the side.

"Miss, what do you mean? What did Aoxue do wrong?"

She simply told Aoxue about her discovery that there were descendants of the imperial physician of the previous dynasty in the Meng Mansion.

Ke Ying was silent for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said, "I will keep a close eye on Aoxue."

If it were her, Ke Ying would go to find out the truth even if it cost her life, but she couldn't force Aoxue to do the same.

Seeing that Keying agreed, Shen Jiaojiao felt relieved.

"You guys go down, I need to rest."

Having said that, he waved his hand and asked the two maids to go out.

After the two men left, Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyes and looked towards the bed curtains, her lips pursed into a straight line.

"Brother, you should have heard it, right? Send someone to investigate."
