Long Yue rested her chin on one hand, pondering, while the fingers of her other small hand tapped on the desk.
"Empress Qiao… I used to think it was just bad luck, accidentally getting caught, but later I wondered, could she have known about my use of the medicinal powder all along? But how did she find out about the drugs in the prey's blood? I had a mentor, what about her?"
"Did you forget there's an Imperial Doctor Li by his side?"
Li Qingmu's memory was clearly better than Long Yue's. Last time, Qi Yun had a doctor examine him, which almost got him into trouble, and that person was an agent of Empress Qiao.
Long Yue patted her forehead. "That's right, I actually forgot about him. So, that Imperial Doctor Li is also quite formidable!"
"Naturally, everyone can't avoid birth, old age, sickness, and death, so it's necessary to have a capable imperial doctor at one's side," Shi Qin said.
