Chapter 360 Heading in the Same Direction

Zheng Jiao smiled, sat down next to her, and waited with her.

It took a full quarter of an hour for the door to open.

He Wuyu and Zheng Jiao rushed forward immediately.

"Dr. Yuan! How is my grandfather?"

Doctor Yuan cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, but Zheng Jiao grabbed him, saying, "Doctor Yuan, at a time like this, there's no need for such formalities."

Doctor Yuan nodded and didn't beat around the bush: "General He's condition has stabilized, but I'm not good at detoxification. I'm afraid we'll still need to trouble Miss Zhao with this."

"Miss Zhao? Is it Zhao Lingyin?" He Wuyu had heard of Zhao Lingyin's abilities, and logically, she should be happy to know that General He might be rescued.

However, no matter how capable Zhao Lingyin is, she is still far away in the capital!

The messenger took a long time to arrive and depart. Could my grandfather really hold on?

Zheng Jiao's eyes lit up slightly: "Dr. Yuan, how much longer can General He hold on?"

"At most twenty days."

He Wuyu was almost in despair.

Twenty days? How could that be enough time?

"Don't worry, it's not time to give up yet. Listen to me, there's still a chance for things to turn around."

He Wuyu closed his eyes briefly: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

She bowed respectfully to Doctor Yuan and said, "Please take good care of my grandfather's health, Doctor Yuan. If needed, Steward He will do his best to cooperate with you."

Doctor Yuan accepted the offer without hesitation: "Young General He, rest assured. The old general has dedicated his life to the Great Yong. As a citizen of Great Yong, I have received much protection from him. Although my abilities are limited, I assure you that I will do my utmost."

He Wuyu was overwhelmed with gratitude and could only keep this kindness in his heart for the time being.

She still had many things to do, so she gave a few more instructions and then took Zheng Jiao's hand and led her to the study.

"Jiaojiao, the one who poisoned you..."

“Aunt Zhang knows nothing. She didn’t have a good relationship with her family. A few years ago, her brother and sister-in-law passed away, leaving behind a poor and lonely child named Zhang Rong. She couldn’t bear it, so she took him in and raised him. For so long, that child has been diligent and hardworking. Everyone who sees him praises him. Who would have thought that he would poison General He?” Although Zheng Jiao felt a little reluctant, she still told her all the results of the investigation in one go. “Zhang Rong usually had a wide circle of friends and his social circle was very mixed. It was really difficult to find out who he colluded with. With his death, the clues have almost been cut off.”

He Wuyu remained calm; the current situation was within her expectations.

"Let's put this matter aside for now and stop investigating."

As long as the General's Mansion is safe, everything else has to wait.

Zheng Jiao's thoughts were similar to hers.

They still have a lot to do, and they can't let their guard down in the military camps and on the border. The fear is that the people behind the scenes will use these trivial matters to distract them.

However, it would seem heartless for an outsider like her to say such things. Now that she saw that He Wuyu shared the same thoughts as her, Zheng Jiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“In that case, I’ll go to the military camp first. You stay home and look after General He. I’ve already sent someone to the capital with an urgent message. With Yuanjia in the capital… anything is possible.”

Outside the light screen, the emperor had never felt so fortunate as he did at this moment.

Fortunately, Jiao Jiao went to Liaozhou; fortunately, there was someone there who understood them so well, allowing them to head in the same direction from thousands of miles away.

Within the light screen, He Wuyu seemed lost in thought.

She often heard Zheng Jiao praising the current Crown Princess, describing her as almost divine, her tone filled with both intimacy and admiration.

How old was the Crown Princess at that time?

She had only assumed that Jiao Jiao was just too fond of her younger sister, but now it seemed that she was wrong.

He Wuyu didn't know much about the Crown Princess, but she trusted Zheng Jiao, so she didn't ask any more questions and simply replied, "Okay."

"There's no need to remove the list of doctors seeking treatment, but if a doctor comes to our door again, we must carefully vet them to prevent bad people from sneaking in..."

Zheng Jiao decided to return to the military camp and wanted to give them detailed instructions.

Although He Wuyu understood these principles, she preferred to spend more time explaining rather than risk irreversible consequences by not saying a word.

He Wuyu listened quietly to her rambling, his face showing not only no impatience but also a faint smile.

Zheng Jiao frowned: "What are you laughing at? Did you hear what I said?"

"I heard it! I heard it!"
