Chu Yan chatted with his master for a while. Seeing the time was not early, he said goodbye. As he was about to walk out of the gate of Dongfang Mansion, he saw the Ke Family’s carriage parked outside, and Bai Zhi got out of the carriage. Hu Feng came out of the mansion.

Seeing at each other, electric current seemed to have sparked in their eyes.

Hu Feng walked quickly to the carriage and helped her down.

He held her hand and doesn’t want to let go.

Bai Zhi also held his hand. Isn’t it just holding hands? It’s not a big deal. Those people in the dark can look as much as they want. She doesn’t care what they would say behind her back.

“Didn’t you say you will return the 9th day? Why is it delayed until now?”

Hu Feng squeezed Bai Zhi’s soft and boneless hand in his palm: “Something happened. I just came back and haven’t returned to the palace yet. I want to see you first.”

“Oh? What happened? Look at you, your complexion is not so good.”

Hu Feng thought of the corpse sent to the Ministry of Punishment and asked: “Zhi’er, do you know how to do an autopsy?”

Bai Zhi nodded her head: “I know something about it, what’s wrong?”

“That’s good. I brought back a few corpses, all of them were poisoned and died. These corpses are involved in a big case. I want to know what kind of poison is used to them, where this poison comes from, find out the source of this poison, and catch those people doing this business to solve this case.”

Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Okay, I can take a look, but I can’t guarantee that it can be tested out. In this regard, you should find a pharmacist who makes poisons. The more experience they have the more they have a method.”

Hu Feng shook his head: “I also thought of this. There are indeed a few pharmacists in the capital who makes poisons, but I can’t guarantee that this poison didn’t come from their hands. If they were invited over, isn’t it just leading the wolf inside the house? They will take this opportunity to destroy the body, then there will no more evidence.”

Bai Zhi smiled and said: “I really didn’t expect your thoughts to be so meticulous. I used to look down on you, I thought you are like other men, careless.”

He stretched out his finger and scratched her nose: “You girl, you make fun of me. Well, I’ll let you make fun of me this time, I won’t care about you.”

Bai Zhi’s cheeks blushed. She turned a bit to avoid seeing his passionate eyes. then coughed twice before asking, “Where is the corpse now?”

“At the Ministry of Punishment, I will report to my father first. I’ll send someone to pick you when he agrees. I’m afraid there is another matter I will have to trouble you.”

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow: “What’s the matter?”

“The princess of Jin Country has been poisoned and has been in a coma. She has already been sent to the palace. She will be check by the imperial doctor first. If they can cure her, I won’t come to trouble you. But if they can’t, I may ask you to go.” d

Bai Zhi took out a banknote from her sleeve pocket. The banknote that she had just received from the Ke Family today. She held the banknote and shook it in front of Hu Feng, the said with a smile: “Can you see this? This is the consultation fee I received from Madam Ke. It’s okay to ask me for medical treatment or autopsy, but you have to pay the fee. Last time, the medical treatment for the Empress Dowager must also be settled.”

Hu Feng replied: “Okay, it’s natural to collect money for medical treatment, it is justified. I will tell my father about this later. How can I let you suffer? You’re not a girl who’s willing to lose money.”

Why should she let herself suffer? She also checked the empress’s condition. The Empress not only refused to give a consultation fee but also wanted to harm her. She almost suffered a great loss. Fortunately, she was lucky, and Imperial Concubine Shu helped her. Otherwise, only God knows what would be happening right now!
