Chapter 23: Using excuses to eliminate disasters
  Aunt Zhang who was beside Han Xiangru was a dowry given to her by the Han family. When she saw this, she comforted her: "Madam, calm down, it won't happen once, we still have opportunities."
  "Calm down? The lion, the miracle doctor of Lao Shizi, opened his mouth and asked for ten thousand taels of silver." Han Xiangru was not relieved and stamped her feet on the broken porcelain pieces and said.
  "As long as it works, didn't you listen to the boy who sent the message? That bullshit miracle doctor and the girl next to the fool have suffered, so they are not worth ten thousand taels of silver!"
  "Second Miss is just lucky." Nanny Zhang narrowed her eyes slightly and whispered: "She has been locked up in the house for more than ten years. She doesn't know anything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she can't read a basket of Chinese characters."
  "So what if you come out? It's just a joke, it won't bother Miss Third."
  "She is illiterate, but she can talk nonsense!" Han Xiangru gritted her teeth and said, "Aunt Wang and Aunt Cui died in her mouth. Jingya is still young and her reputation cannot be damaged."
  "That fool has a girl from Prince Yu's palace by his side. It will be even harder to take action in the future."
  Grandma Zhang thought for a while and said: "There are many ways. I have an idea..."
  As he spoke, he leaned into Han Xiangru's ear and whispered a lot.
  The more Han Xiangru listened, the more excited she became. Her eyes were sinister as she nodded and said, "It's up to you. Money is not a problem. If you don't have it, go to my brother and ask for it. Make sure not to leave any traces."
  With Shen Zhuoxi returning safely, everyone is uneasy except for Grandma Ju.
  After receiving the news, she stood guard at the door. When she got close, she saw Huizhi behind her and asked in shock: "Who is this?"
  Aunt Hua walked at the end and introduced: "Taohua is in trouble and can't come back. This is the maid given to the lady by Prince Yu's palace."
  "My servant Huizhi, I have met my grandma." Huizhi was very knowledgeable and saluted, "We will take care of the second young lady together from now on. Please give me more guidance."
  "This..." Before Grandma Ju could say anything, Taozi rushed forward, eager to ask: "What's wrong with Taohua? What happened?"
  "She mistakenly took the medicine given to the young lady by the miracle doctor." Eizhi said concisely and concisely: "The brain was damaged and there is no way to recover. She and the miracle doctor were sent to Zhuangzi by the prince."
  "Impossible." Taozi didn't believe it and said, "It's not a pastry or snack. How could you take the medicine by mistake? There must be something inside."
  "Prince Yu's Mansion will investigate." Aunt Hua said earnestly: "Taohua is your sister. No matter how she died, it is your duty to serve the lady and you must still serve her with all your heart."
  "No, it won't happen." Taozi couldn't accept it and was still mumbling: "Peach Blossom has always been healthy. It's impossible for her to become stupid because of a bowl of medicine? It's even less possible for her to take the lady's medicine for no reason?"
  "Let's go in first." Aunt Ju took Shen Zhuoxi's hand. She had many questions to ask, but because of the people around her, she said, "Miss, you got up early, and you are tired after working for a long time."
  Taozi followed behind as if she had lost her soul, her tears unable to stop flowing.
  She really didn't expect that the goodbye in the morning would be the last look between the sisters.
  If I had known earlier, she should have gone!
  It's all the second lady's fault!
  When she was lost in thought, Aunt Ju called to Taohua and said, "Taozi, take Huizhi to familiarize yourself with the environment. I'll wait for the young lady to prepare for her nap."
  When the two of them walked away, she couldn't help it anymore and asked in a low voice: "Miss, why did King Yu send you a maid to serve you? Where did Taozi go?"
  Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Zhuoxi briefly explained what had happened and said, "Before I went, I only planned to get rid of Taohua's tail. Who knew the people in Taishi's Mansion could stretch their hands far?"
  "The miracle doctor was also a fake, so he took advantage of his trick and gave them back the medicine they used to treat me."
  "That's how it should be!" Aunt Ju's teeth itched when she heard: "Your condition has just improved to the outside world, and they actually plan to poison you again. How vicious! If it had been before, your body couldn't bear it at all. Fortunately, you were here Prince Yu’s Mansion.”
  Shen Zhuoxi suddenly thought of Jing Muling.
  Are his words really just a test, or do they have other intentions?
  "Mommy, I don't know King Yu's attitude for the time being. You will keep vigil tonight." Shen Zhuoxi ordered: "With the Queen Mother and King Yu taking action, others will not dare to cause trouble during the day, only at night."
  At night, Taozi's eyes were swollen from crying, her mind was completely absent, and she had no intention of serving.
  Hui Zhi took the initiative to keep vigil, but Grandma Ju stopped her on the grounds that the second young lady was frightened and uneasy.
  That night, after Grandma Ju fell asleep, Shen Zhuoxi got up and met Yu Mu.
  Yu Mu was still wearing a mask. When he saw her, he took the initiative to ask: "How was it going when you went to Prince Yu's Mansion today?"
  "How do you know?" Shen Zhuoxi asked in surprise: "As a killer, do you still have time to pay attention to me?"
  "To tell you the truth, I have some friendship with King Yu." Yu Mu lost the aloofness he had when we first met, and looked carefree: "Besides, I still hope to hang out with you in the future, why don't we get to know each other well?"
  Shen Zhuoxi looked Yu Mu up and down jokingly and said, "You're doing well. You actually know King Yu. I thought you only knew how to take heads and be hunted."
  "To be in my profession, you have to have a broad network and know all kinds of people." Yu Mu raised his chin proudly and said, "To be honest, I have some spies in Prince Yu's Mansion."
  "But King Yu should have noticed that he has given someone to you for an excuse today."
  If he didn't make an excuse, she would definitely be too wary to use Huizhi, otherwise it would be like dealing with today's peach blossoms.
  "Huizhi?" Shen Zhuoxi asked suspiciously.
  Yu Mu nodded, his mask swaying slightly with his movements: "That's her, and the rest are men."
  "It's good that Hui Zhi is yours." Shen Zhuoxi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is no need to avoid her in the future."
  No wonder King Yu was so kind and even compensated her with a girl. It turned out to be an excuse to eliminate the disaster.
  Fortunately, he happened to be from Yu Mu.
  "Don't worry, Hui Zhi's martial arts is not bad, she can do everything." Yu Mu said with pride: "She is an elite member of my sect. If King Yu gives it to you, it will be yours."
  "How can I be embarrassed to use what you have carefully cultivated?" Shen Zhuoxi said this without any intention of refusing.
  Yu Mu knew what Xiao Jiujiu was thinking about in her heart, so he didn't reveal it, so he took advantage of the situation and asked, "But aren't you not sick? Why are you still pretending to be crazy and agreeing to King Yu to treat you?"
  "Everyone outside knows that I have been stupid for many years and suddenly changed for the better. There must be an opportunity, otherwise someone will make a fuss about me and say that I am the reincarnation of a demon star." Shen Zhuoxi sighed.
  "I planned to use the doctor in Prince Yu's palace as an excuse to recover. Who knew that the miracle doctor was a fake and was bribed by others? If it weren't for my superb medical skills, I would have fallen into his trap today!"
  As Shen Zhuoxi spoke, he thought of another level and asked, "Since you know King Yu, are his eyes really blind or is he pretending to be blind?"
  "You are really blind. Since you have superb medical skills, don't you know how to read?" Yu Mu asked curiously: "You care about him so much?"
  "Not really, I always feel that this person can't see through it." Shen Zhuoxi didn't think much and said, "Since Hui Zhi is yours, I'll ask her to help me make medicine in the future."
  "I often come out in the middle of the night to avoid being discovered by Tao Zi and Zhu Zhu."
  Wouldn’t it be possible to see each other every day? Yu Mu was mentally empty.
  In just three days, the blood scab on Shen Zhuoxi's face was already showing signs of falling off, and some new pink marks appeared in some places.
  While Yu Mu marveled at her medical skills, he was still curious: "You haven't been out of the Imperial Master's Mansion for many years. Why are you so good at medical skills? Who did you learn it from?"
  "A wandering doctor happened to go to my yard to hide in the limelight." Shen Zhuoxi joked casually: "Not only did he cure my old illness, he also taught me medical skills."
  Yu Mu didn't completely believe it. After taking Shen Zhuoxi back to Qingfeng Tower, he quietly sneaked into the top floor of the largest restaurant in Shengdu...
