~8 min read 1,430 words

Lin Jiaojiao knew at a glance that something was wrong with that person. Liu Shouyi hadn't noticed the movement in Jiaohua Garden yet. He humbly asked Lin Jiaojiao for medical advice: "Concubine Lin, what you just said 【allergy】, 【high allergic constitution】, what disease is it?"

Lin Jiaojiao turned her face to look at Liu Shouyi again, "Allergy, it is..."

Looking at Liu Shouyi, she suddenly had an idea, "Liu Dafu, these are all learned from a medical secret book. Do you want to see it?"

Liu Shouyi's eyes lit up, "Want! Of course I want!"

"Good, then you follow me, but you can't make a sound when you walk. My child is still sleeping, don't wake him up."

"Good, good, good!" Liu Shouyi agreed repeatedly, and even lowered his voice when he spoke.

After speaking, he followed Lin Jiaojiao lightly to Jiaohua Garden. When Bai Zhi wanted to follow, Lin Jiaojiao sent her to wash diapers.

They walked into Jiaohua Garden on tiptoe and went around to the window of the room. Lin Jiaojiao learned from the TV to dip her finger in saliva, poked a hole in the paper window, and aimed into the room through the hole.

Liu Shouyi was very puzzled: "Concubine Lin, what are you—?"

"Shh—" Lin Jiaojiao pressed her index finger to her lips, signaling Liu Shouyi not to speak.

She looked into the room through the small hole poked in the window, only to see a person sneaking to her bedside, looking around, and after confirming that there was no one, he quickly stuffed a roll of things under the pillow, and then left in a hurry.

After he completely walked out of Jiaohua Garden, Lin Jiaojiao straightened her waist and pointed to the room, saying mysteriously to Liu Shouyi: "The medical secret book is placed under my pillow."

Liu Shouyi's eyes were clear: "Can Concubine Lin lend this medical book to me to copy?"

Lin Jiaojiao held back her laughter and nodded in agreement: "Of course."

After speaking, Lin Jiaojiao took Liu Shouyi around to the front door, entered the room together, and signaled him to take out the things pressed under the pillow to see.

Liu Shouyi didn't understand Lin Jiaojiao's routine. When he thought he could copy the medical secret book, he opened the pillow with an excited face, picked up a roll of silk, slowly unfolded it, and observed it carefully.

But the more he looked, the paler his face became.

After understanding what he was holding in his hand, Liu Shouyi was so scared that he threw the silk in his hand onto the bed, stared at Lin Jiaojiao with wide eyes: "This, this, you...?! "

Lin Jiaojiao smiled cunningly. She sat at the stool by the table and threatened: "You have seen it. No matter what this is, I am going to drag you into the water."

Liu Shouyi was like a mourning concubine. He clapped his hands and said: "I, I, oh! Concubine Lin, let me go!"

Lin Jiaojiao dug her ears and asked indifferently, "It's okay to let you go, just agree to one thing."

Liu Shouyi wiped the sweat from his forehead tremblingly: "What does the concubine want the small one to do? If it is something that hurts heaven and reason—"

Lin Jiaojiao interrupted him, "I won't be as black-hearted as that old woman."

She straightened her back: "Although I know who wants to frame me, you are the one who opened this thing first, so the crime is not on me. And you have read the content inside, which is different."

"Yes, yes, yes." At this moment, Liu Shouyi knew that he had been tricked by Lin Jiaojiao. He said with cold sweat, "This military defense map should not be seen by me, should not be seen..."

"Oh? Military defense map?" When Lin Jiaojiao heard these three words, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Bai Zhi had told her before that her cheap husband was a Military Minister, and the military defense map was naturally his.

But this military defense map, Pei Aosong had no reason to ask someone to secretly stuff it under her pillow.

Lin Jiaojiao paused and continued to ask: "This military defense map, do you know where it was originally placed?"

"It should be placed in the young master's study. Such a hidden object must be placed in a very safe position. Besides Young Master Pei, the only people in the mansion who know..." Speaking of this, Liu Shouyi stopped his mouth.

He raised his slightly terrified eyes and looked at Lin Jiaojiao with some fear.

"Good, it really is that old woman," Lin Jiaojiao was angry and very puzzled, "Why does she always want to harm me!"

"This..." Liu Shouyi was speechless for a while.

He, as a house physician, had never participated in the affairs of the inner house.

Lin Jiaojiao eased her tone and walked towards Liu Shouyi: "How about this, you do me a favor..."

"Me?!" Liu Shouyi pointed to himself in disbelief, and then hurriedly cleared himself: "Absolutely not, I won't wade into this muddy water—"

"Heh!" Lin Jiaojiao sneered and said sternly, "You have to wade into the muddy water even if you don't want to. You must know that you are the one who saw the military defense map, not me. You looked at it very carefully just now!" Liu Shouyi was shocked by these words. A layer of dense cold sweat broke out on his back, and his face seemed to be wearing a painful mask.

"As long as you do this favor, I won't trick you anymore." Lin Jiaojiao's tone eased again, and she said kindly and peacefully, "I know, Liu Dafu, you care about the common people, so you want to copy medical books."

She pointed to her brain, "But these are all stored in my brain. Besides the treatment of allergic diseases, I also have many prescriptions for epidemics."

But Liu Dafu didn't dare to have any more thoughts. This time he followed because he thought Lin Jiaojiao had medical books, but he was tricked by her. If things went wrong, he might lose his head!

He was so nervous that he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and finally could only reply with a dry mouth, "I understand."

"It's good to understand." Lin Jiaojiao said, signaling him to come closer, and then whispered in his ear.

No way, Liu Shouyi could only listen to Lin Jiaojiao.

When he walked out of Jiaohua Garden, he happened to run into Pei Aosong who came to see Lin Jiaojiao.

"Liu Dafu." Pei Aosong saw him and called Liu Shouyi immediately.

Liu Shouyi was startled by the shout and had to stop and reply: "Yes, yes."

Pei Aosong saw that he was a little flustered and couldn't help but worry if Lin Jiaojiao had a fever again. He asked Liu Shouyi with concern about her situation: "How is Concubine Lin today? Is she having a fever again?"

"No fever, no fever, she is very good. The concubine has recovered very well, recovered very well." Liu Shouyi bowed his back and didn't dare to look at Pei Aosong, "I have something else to do, I will leave first, I will leave first."

After speaking, he carried the medicine box and left Jiaohua Garden in a panic.

"Strange, why is he in such a hurry today?" Pei Aosong looked at Liu Shouyi's back as he left in a hurry and muttered suspiciously.

However, it was a good thing that Lin Jiaojiao was fine. He thought while preparing to walk into Jiaohua Garden.

But at this time, Li Guanjia came to report in a hurry: "Master, the Dali Temple brought people to the door, saying they want to arrest the Southern Frontier alien spy!"

"What? Spy? I'll go and see." Pei Aosong frowned and couldn't care about visiting Lin Jiaojiao.

Li Guanjia continued: "They have already entered the mansion and are waiting in the main hall. The Old Madam has already gone over!"

Pei Aosong knew that time was of the essence, and it was important to entertain the Dali Temple first.

The Dali Temple has always been straightforward in handling cases, without any cover.

Why did they come to visit suddenly, what happened?

Spy? How could there be a Southern Frontier alien spy in his own house?

Suddenly he remembered his father's death ten years ago... Could it be related to his father's affairs in the past?

He had to turn around again, frowning and walking towards the main hall with big strides.
