“Because we still had Doctor Xu’s help. Now that he’s escaped, we can’t find him, so we can’t save Elder Tian.”

“I see.”

After MO Ruyue understood the whole story, she nodded and said, “Leave this matter to me. You guys focus on opening the hall. I’ll go and see Elder Tian first.

After leaving Huichun Hall, MO Ruyue went straight to the government office of the county.

She and the government office runners of the magistrate’s office could be considered old acquaintances. With her bulging purse, she opened the way and saw Imperial Doctor Tian without any difficulty.

Because of his character and medical ethics, he was highly respected in the entire county, so even though he was now in prison, he did not suffer much. The cell he was in was the driest and relatively warmer in the entire prison. There was even some light during the day.

The straw mat in the prison was covered with a thick mattress. The quilt and pillow were also brand new and soft. There was also a table, brush, ink, and paper in the prison. Even the lamp had a bronze base. It was obvious that someone had already taken care of it.

“Lady Qin, why did you come?

Elder Tian suddenly saw MO Ruyue and asked the same question as Dong Qing.

“Elder Tian, why didn’t you send someone to tell me that such a big thing

happened?”

Although MO Ruyue asked this, she knew the reason very well.

He knew that he was the person who hated trouble the most, so he didn’t want to trouble her.

“Dong Qing told you everything?”

Elder Tian sighed. He should have thought of it when MO Ruyue appeared. Such a big thing had happened in Huichun Hall. If she wanted to know, how could they hide it?

“Yes, but he only gave meRuyue a rough idea, so I came.”

MO Ruyue sat down on the futon opposite Elder Tian and prepared to listen attentively.

Elder Tian also knew that no one could change her mind once she had decided on something, so he could only tell her what had happened from the beginning.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, someone suddenly came to Huichun Hall for medical treatment. It was a rich businessman from another part of the city who lived in a local estate.

Originally, he had planned to take his family back to his hometown for the new year, but he had a sudden illness before he could set off. Now, he was foaming at the mouth, unconscious, and twitching constantly. His family immediately took him to Huichun Hall.

Doctor Xue had entered Huichun Hall at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. He had always wanted to do his best to show off, so he had given up a lot of rest time and received a large number of patients in order to gain a firm foothold in Huichun Hall as soon as possible.

The rich man had originally been waiting for another doctor’s diagnosis, but he was coincidentally seen by Doctor Xue, who came to see him on his rest day. He took the opportunity to help. After receiving the patient, he determined that the rich man had mental illness, so he took the medicine. The situation was indeed alleviated, but the effect was very slow.

In order to be quick, he inserted more needles. However, after a few more, not only did it not work, but the situation suddenly worsened.

Doctor Xue immediately thought of seeking Doctor Xu’s help because Doctor Xu was deeply trusted by Imperial Doctor Tian. Sometimes, he would be able to obtain the key to the medicine storage room, and there would definitely be medicine that could save an emergency.

Because Doctor Xue had already made a rough estimate of everyone in Huichun Hall, he had deliberately tried to please Doctor Xu. He had spent a lot of effort and money on him. For this reason, Doctor Xu promised to find him a special medicine that could save the patient, but only this time.

After that, Doctor Xu took out a medicine from the medicine storage. Who would have thought that after the rich merchant took it, he would vomit blood on the spot and die. Doctor Xue and Doctor Xu were both flustered. After some discussion, they decided to push all the blame onto Imperial Doctor Tian. After all, the key to the medicine storage room was almost entirely kept by Imperial Doctor Tian.

They had even imitated Imperial Doctor Tian’s handwriting and forged the prescription and the records of the patients who had received the medicine. Afterwards, Doctor Xu had used the excuse of going home to celebrate the new year and had disappeared.

The rich merchant’s family had originally left him in Huichun Hall out of trust. They had been told that the rich merchant’s situation was gradually improving, so they planned to find the rich merchant and ask if they should prepare to leave or stay here for the new year.

However, they were told that they could not visit him for the time being. They could visit him when he was seriously ill, but now that his condition had improved, she could not. This aroused the suspicion of his family members, who made a fuss and insisted on seeing him.

In the end, the truth couldn’t be hidden forever. Only then did they realize that he had been gone for two days.

After the matter was blown up, Imperial Doctor Tian finally knew what had happened. He immediately came to ask, but he ran into the angry family members of the patient. If it were not for the other people in Huichun Hall who stopped him, he would have been beaten up badly.

When Imperial Doctor Tian said this, he couldnt help but sigh again, his eyes filled with sorrow and gloominess. MO Ruyue knew that he was pained by Doctor Xu’s betrayal. It could be said that in Huichun Hall, he was almost equivalent to Imperial Doctor Tian’s left and right arms, and he had never been mistreated.

Now, because of a Doctor Xue that he had only met for a short time, he had betrayed Imperial Doctor Tian, who had always supported him. Even if he had received money and benefits from Doctor Xue, he shouldn’t have ended up like “Elder Tian, Dong Qing told me that you sent people to look for him after the incident, but found that the building was already empty, right? If this is the case, I don’t think that Doctor

Xu was bribed by Doctor Xue, and there should be someone else behind this.”

MO Ruyue was keenly aware that the whole thing was strange because of the medicine that Doctor Xu had taken out.

This medicine was a forbidden medicine with very strict control. If it wasn’t for Imperial Doctor Tian, who was a famous and experienced doctor, even keeping it would get into trouble. It wasn’t that Doctor Xu didn’t have any other choice, but he took the medicine directly. Although there were some areas that were right, the consequences would be unimaginable if there was a mistake in the control of the dosage.

“You’re saying that someone is targeting me on purpose?” Imperial Doctor Tian said in shock.

He had already retired and returned to his hometown for many years. Even when he was in the palace, he had always been very cautious. He had never offended anyone, and he was already so old and one step away from death. Why would someone want to harm him?

“What’s the magistrate’s current attitude? I think the environment here is good, but you!re old, after all. If you stay here for too long, there will be problems.”

MO Ruyue sized up the surrounding environment. In her heart, she was already determined to bring Imperial Doctor Tian out of here first.

“The eldest master did not make things difficult for me. He only said that there was insufficient evidence and that I would be temporarily imprisoned. I’ve already cleaned up the place, so I can make an exception and stay here comfortably.”

As Imperial Doctor Tian spoke, he suddenly choked and coughed, his face instantly turning red.

“Since there’s insufficient evidence, why do they want to put you in prison? MO Ruyue said unhappily.

She stood up and helped Imperial Doctor Tian up, solemnly saying, “Elder

Tian, please wait for me. I will bring you out very soon.”

“Lady Qin, I’ll have to trouble you again.”

Imperial Doctor Tian smiled bitterly. Originally, when he invited MO Ruyue out of the mountain, he had said that he would be the person who would block the trouble for her. In the end, she had gotten into God knows how much trouble because she had joined Huichun Hall.

Now, he still wanted her to run errands for him. He really didn’t have the face to see her..
