Chapter 567: Receiving Guidance from Jianli
The Prison Department couldn’t find any information.
The gatekeeper of the imperial Physician’s house and a group of servants saw with their own eyes that the old imperial Physician got off the carriage, had dinner, and read medical books in the study until late at night, and then went into the room to rest.
The next morning, when the cleaning maid entered the room, she called several times but received no response. When she went to check the physician she was surprised to find that the old Imperial Physician had passed away. She hurriedly checked his breath and confirmed the news, which caused a commotion in the mansion.
Naturally, everyone was saddened, but judging by the expression on the old Imperial Physician’s face as he left, his passing was considered peaceful.
His immediate successor quickly brought in a close friend of the old Imperial Physician to examine him.
Several Physicians sighed and confirmed that it was a natural death.
There was nothing suspicious from beginning to end.
Emperor Ming listened to the Prison Department’s report and didn’t say anything more. He just nodded in acknowledgment.
Meanwhile, in a tavern, illuminated by the flickering firelight, a slightly stooped figure was seen. But he straightened up in the blink of an eye.
