Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Aside from the two of you, was Abbess Huijue the only one who knew?”  

Doctor Fu replied, “Yes. We were able to settle in Qingzhou largely thanks to her secret assistance.”  

Su Xiaoxiao stroked her chin thoughtfully. “I have always been intrigued about Abbess Huijue’s background. She appears quite formidable.”

Doctor Fu shakes his head. “I’m truly unsure of her identity in the secular world. Don’t be deceived by the fact that my father was an imperial doctor; I’m dull by nature and never passed the Imperial Hospital examinations, so I haven’t had many opportunities to travel the world. My mother knew, but she never told me. Perhaps she intended to protect me. Knowing too much isn’t always beneficial.”  

Su Xiaoxiao agreed with the last point.  

She didn’t believe he was dull by nature.  

In this world, some people achieve fame young, while others bloom later in life. It’s not something that is set on stone.  

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “You mentioned earlier that it was Hu Jiusheng who betrayed your father?”  

Doctor Fu recalled, “That day, it should have been Hu Jiusheng’s turn to check the Grand Empress Dowager’s pulse, but he had an upset stomach from something he ate, so my father went there in his place.”  

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin again. “So your father… took the fall for Hu Jiusheng?”  

Doctor Fu sighed. “I’m not sure if it counts as taking the fall. My father originally planned to claim that he hadn’t detected anything, but Hu Jiusheng told the previous Head of the Medical Bureau that my father always kept detailed medical records. Realizing he couldn’t avoid it, my father decided to fake his death and leave the capital.”  

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. 

“What did he discover that could have warranted a death sentence?”

Doctor Fu’s expression was complicated. 

“I only found out by secretly reading my father’s medical records before they were destroyed. That page didn’t note who the patient was or the time, but I knew it was from Zhaoyang Palace. Only two words were written on the entire page.”  

……Pregnant.  

After returning home, the three little ones were hungry and wanted to eat big meat buns, so Su Xiaoxiao went out to buy some for them.  

As Su Xiaoxiao walked back with a full bowl of meat buns, she was unexpectedly bumped into by a woman rushing forward with her head down.  

With Su Xiaoxiao’s solid build… there was no chance of her being knocked over. 

Instead, the other person stumbled and nearly fell.  

Su Xiaoxiao freed one hand to steady her.  

The woman didn’t even look at Su Xiaoxiao, murmuring a low thanks before pulling her cloak tighter and hurrying away.  

Su Xiaoxiao stared curiously at her retreating figure.  

Was she seeing things?

That person looked somewhat like.….. the Grand Empress Dowager? 

But the Grand Empress Dowager was in the palace, so she wouldn’t be alone on the streets.  

The woman hurried into an alley, adjusting her cloak’s hood as she walked, glancing back warily.  

When she reached the alley’s entrance, she caught sight of a gray figure and immediately shrank back in fear.  

She retraced her steps and entered a clothing store.  

The shopkeeper greeted her warmly, “Madam, are you looking for fabric or ready-made clothes?”  

The woman turned around, distracted, and said, “Fabric.”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, 

“We just received a few rolls of premium brocade, madam. Please wait a moment, I’ll bring them for you.”  

The woman hummed in acknowledgment.  

The shopkeeper turned to fetch the fabric from the shelves.  

Suddenly, the sharp edge of a dagger pressed against the woman’s lower back.  

Her body stiffened.  

The gray-robed man concealed the dagger with his wide sleeve while using his other hand to guide her out of the shop.  

The shopkeeper turned around with the fabric in her arms. 

“Miss, these are the two rolls… Huh? Where did she go?”  

The woman was taken to a secluded alley and pushed into an abandoned residence.  

The man shoved her to the ground.  

Several others emerged from inside the house.  

A scar-faced man looked at her and leered, rubbing his hands together. 

“Such a fine-looking woman, where did you find her, Fifth Brother?”
