385 Most Likely Hiding Something
Almost as soon as he realized this, Imperial Physician Qin broke out in a cold sweat.
Who knew what kind of shock he had received, but he looked very uneasy?
Gu Qingxue saw Imperial Physician Qin’s wavering expression, but she did not expose his panic, she only nodded lightly, “I am the daughter of the Gu family in Jing City. My father was the imperial physician in the palace back then. Later on, he committed a mistake and was executed.”
Imperial Physician Qin’s pupils shook violently, and immediately after, a regretful expression appeared on his face, “So you are Imperial Physician Gu’s daughter. No wonder you have such exquisite medical skills. Miss Gu, I am also an imperial physician. I used to work with your father. However, I’m mainly responsible for the health of His Majesty’s body while your father is responsible for the health of the ladies in the palace. Usually, we only drink tea with the other imperial physicians occasionally and don’t have much interaction with each other. However, I’ve always admired your father’s medical skills in private.”
“Since even Imperial Physician Qin thinks that my father’s medical skills are brilliant, how could my father have made a mistake and been sentenced to death?” Gu Qingxue’s sharp gaze fell on Imperial Physician Qin through the air.
Imperial Physician Qin revealed a troubled expression, “This… to tell you the truth, I’m not very sure either. I only heard some people from the imperial hospital mention it. They said that your father had made a mistake and harmed people, so he was eliminated. Back then, we, a group of imperial physicians, went to your house. Maybe it was because Madam Qi had met me at that time that we got to know each other?”
Gu Qingxue did not probe further and said coldly, “I see. Thank you for your explanation. Lil Qi, come here and give the antidote to Imperial Physician Qin, then ask someone to send him back.”
Imperial Physician Qin raised his hand and bowed to Gu Qingxue, “Thank you, Miss Gu.”
Gu Qingxue could clearly see the other party seemed to be relieved.
This made Gu Qingxue even more determined. She had not guessed wrongly.
Imperial Physician Qin was lying.
First of all, she understood her grandmother. Although she was still a fool, she was never a willful person. On the contrary, her grandmother was able to create the Qi family and the Gu family, which was enough to show that she had great wisdom. She knew so many imperial physicians, so why would she only remember Imperial Physician Qin even in her current state?
It was obvious that Imperial Physician Qin must have done something that left a deep impression on her.
Imperial Physician Qin did not mention it at all. Moreover, he kept saying that he was not familiar with her father and he simply thought that her father’s medical skills were brilliant.
However, when she asked about her father, he answered without hesitation.
It had been six or seven years since her father passed away, but Imperial Physician Qin still remembered it so clearly. It was even more strange that he could explain it to her so quickly.
All of this made Gu Qingxue suspect that Imperial Physician Qin was hiding something from her.
She did not expose it because she was simply curious why Imperial Physician Qin was doing this.
In her opinion, Imperial Physician Qin did not need to find trouble for himself.
Unless the truth was far scarier than what he had said.
She knew that Imperial Physician Qin was hiding something, but she could not force him to confess. No matter how confused she was, she could only suppress her thoughts, lowering her eyes and falling into silence.
Imperial Physician Qin did not expect Gu Qingxue to have such deep thoughts, and he still thought he had passed the test.
Imperial Physician Qin took the antidote from Lil’ Qi, opened the lid, and smelled it.
