415. What Is Wrong with Him?

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Liu Suifeng followed s.h.i.+ Qingzhou out.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou didn’t delay on the way and headed straight to the general’s mansion.

Liu Suifeng followed him.

When Liu Suifeng arrived at the general’s mansion, he frowned. “Wait a minute.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou frowned as well. “What’s wrong?”

Liu Suifeng looked around and said slowly, “It doesn’t feel right here.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou turned solemn. Those people were attacking his home? With a serious glint in his eyes, s.h.i.+ Qingzhou immediately looked around carefully.

A moment later, he withdrew his gaze. “What’s the problem?”

Liu Suifeng thought about it and said. “It’s not human.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou was taken aback. “Not human? What is it?”

Liu Suifeng said slowly. “It might be poison, or… venomous insect, I am not sure. If possible, ask Long Xiaoyuan to come over. He has the Golden King Insect in his body, so it should be easier to find the problem if he’s around.”

Long Xiaoyuan… s.h.i.+ Qingzhou frowned and immediately objected. “No way! It is too dangerous.”

Liu Suifeng smiled bitterly. “It is not that easy to check in open s.p.a.ce outside.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou didn’t agree.

Liu Suifeng had to say. “Let’s go in and take a look first.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded faintly. “Okay. Let’s go in first.”

Liu Suifeng followed him.

Madam s.h.i.+ was delighted to see s.h.i.+ Qingzhou.

She took him to her room. Liu Suifeng did not follow him this time, planning to walk around in the mansion and having a good check.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou knew that he was going to check on the mansion, secretly nodding his agreement at him.

However, Liu Suifeng was not a member of the mansion after all. When he was about to reach the inner courtyard, the butler came to stop him.

“Sir, this is the inner courtyard.”

Liu Suifeng blinked. “Is it? It doesn’t matter. I’m at the order of the Empress. If you don’t believe me, you can go ask him.”

The butler was baffled, but he didn’t dare to stop Liu Suifeng at the mention of s.h.i.+ Qingzhou.

However, he had to ask for a confirmation.

The butler personally went to s.h.i.+ Qingzhou.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said lightly, “Let him do whatever he likes to do. Don’t stop him anywhere.”

The old butler was shocked when he heard this, breaking out in cold sweat. s.h.i.+ Qingzhou’s words meanttoo much!

The old butler didn’t dare to ask any more questions, hurrying away.

Madam s.h.i.+’s face changed. After the old butler left, she couldn’t help but ask, “Qingzhou, what’s going on? Who is that person?”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said slowly, “Mother, don’t worry. He is my friend. I ask him to check on our house.”

“Check?” Madam s.h.i.+ was taken aback. “On what?”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said softly, “The palace is not peaceful these days. My status is special, and I don’t want our home to become a target for some people, so I ask him to check if there are any evil things at our home.”

“Oh, I see…” Madam s.h.i.+ feel slightly relieved, but she soon got worried.

“Qingzhou, what would be wrong with our home?”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said slowly. “I don’t know for now, so the dishes need to be checked. Mother, don’t worry too much. The friend I bring with me has high medical skills, he will check it out.”

Madam s.h.i.+ finally stopped talking about this.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou told her something else, and Madam s.h.i.+ was filled with the joy at her son’s visit.

They chatted happily for more than an hour, and Madam s.h.i.+ said, “Qingzhou, I’ve had your favorite snacks made, and I’ll ask the servants to bring them over.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou came back to spend some time with his mother, and checked if there was anything wrong at home.

It looked like Liu Suifeng had not solved the problem at the moment. Otherwise he would at least show himself up. Therefore, s.h.i.+ Qingzhou agreed. “Okay.”

Madam s.h.i.+ then took s.h.i.+ Qingzhou to the small dining room.

They didn’t go to the big dining room because it was not proper since it was not lunch time yet.

The small dining hall was a place to eat snacks and entertain guests.

After s.h.i.+ Qingzhou took a seat, Madam s.h.i.+ sat down with him.

The servants quickly brought the snacks that had been made.

“Qingzhou, they are fresh and hot. Have two more pieces, but you can’t eat too much. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t have the appet.i.te for lunch later.”

“Okay,” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded. “I will have lunch here.”

“Good. Let’s have lunch at home.” Madam s.h.i.+ said happily.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou ate two pieces of snacks. Sure enough, the taste wasn’t bad. Madam s.h.i.+ also ate two pieces.

Madam s.h.i.+ said, “The cook who makes these snacks has just been hired. He is from the Moon Tower. He is good, right?” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou paused for a moment when he heard this. His eyes flas.h.i.+ng across the snacks, he asked slowly, “The cook is from the Moon Tower?”

“Yeah, he’s from the Moon Tower. Isn’t he good?”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said slowly, “Not bad.”

“Are there any new servants at home recently?” asked s.h.i.+ Qingzhou.

Madam s.h.i.+ thought for a moment and said, “Yes, there are three servants and an accountant.”

“Oh, I see.” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded without saying anything else.

Madam s.h.i.+ didn’t doubt anything.

A short time afterwards, Madam s.h.i.+ was called away by the butler for something.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou walked out of the dining room and called the guard captain over.

The captain arrived immediately, and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou didn’t waste his breath.

“Call all the new comers who arrived within three months to go to… Moon Pavilion.”

Although the captain was puzzled, he quickly did what he was told.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou walked to the Moon Pavilion in the front yard of the mansion.

Then he had Liu Suifeng summoned over.

Liu Suifeng arrived when s.h.i.+ Qingzhou arrived at the Moon Pavilion.

The new servants hadn’t arrived yet.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou looked at Liu Suifeng and said slowly. “Did you find anything?”

Liu Suifeng shook his head.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said slowly again, “There are some new servants in the mansion. You can see if there is anything wrong with them later.”

Liu Suifeng nodded. “I got it.”

Although he did not find any problems in the mansion, he felt that something was wrong.

He sensed something familiar, but he couldn’t tell what it was, which made him feel a little uneasy.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou asked him to pay attention to the new servants, so he collected himself and waited patiently.

The new servants were soon brought over. Within three months, seven people had been hired.

A cook, a toilette man, two young servants and two maids.

These people knelt down and curtsied when they arrived at Moon Pavilion.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou sat back without asking them to get up.

Liu Suifeng looked at the servants with a thoughtful expression.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou looked at Liu Suifeng, whose expression alerted him.

“Raise your head.” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said lightly.

The seven kneeling people looked up.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou glanced at each of them.

The seven people looked uneasy, as if they were scared of s.h.i.+ Qingzhou.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou was the Empress of the country after all, and it was natural that these ordinary people were frightened.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou’s eyes were dark and cold. He didn’t hide his coldness.

The atmosphere seemed to be very oppressive.

The seven people trembled.

Even the guards who followed s.h.i.+ Qingzhou stiffened. They were awed by his aura.

Liu Suifeng suddenly spoke.

“His Highness calls you here because you are new comers, and you haven’t had a body checkup yet. He is worried that you are not healthy, and you might have an unnoticed illness that will spread to other people in the mansion. Therefore, she asks me to give you a physical checkup.”

“Your Highness, I don’t have any illness.”

“Yes, Your Highness. I am definitely not sick.”

“Your Highness!”

“Shut up! Stop talking!” The captain of the guards shouted loudly.

Instantly, the seven people shut their mouths, but their faces were filled with anxiety.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner and slowly put it down. He said lightly, “Let’s start then.”

Liu Suifeng said, “Okay.”, and he asked the seven people to step forward one by one.

Liu Suifeng took out a jade bottle from his pocket.

Apart from the jade bottle, he took out a row of silver needles. Moreover, he put something on the silver needle in front of everyone.

Everyone watched in terror, their hearts pounding.

However, no one dared to ask.

Those servants came forward at Liu Suifeng’s signal.

Two servants, two maids, an accountant, and the toilette man.

Their fingers were p.r.i.c.ked and their blood dripped into the jade bottle.

Liu Suifeng only p.r.i.c.ked each of them once, and then let them stand on one side.

Finally, it was the cook’s turn.

The cook stepped forward, and Liu Suifeng p.r.i.c.ked him with a needle, looking at him closely.

Liu Suifeng’s eyes were very intimidating, so the cook instantly became uneasy under his gaze.

“Is there any problem with me?” The cook said in a trembling voice.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou stared at him and said slowly, “What’s wrong with him?”
