Chapter 195: Past Events
Doctor Li said, "Bring this incense here for me to see."

Hearing this, Qin Yuan hurriedly handed it over.

When he opened the box, he saw a few fragrant pills lying quietly inside, emitting a faint fragrance. Doctor Li picked up a pill and put it under his nose to sniff it, looking a little melancholy.

Seeing that he had been sniffing for a long time without saying anything, Xiaodong asked, "Master, is there anything wrong with this incense pill?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just too right, and that's not good."

Qin Yuan frowned and looked at him. Xiaodong couldn't help but ask, "Is it still not good?"

"You are a child, it is not appropriate for you to know now." Doctor Li smiled and glanced at Xiaodong, then said to Qin Yuan: "Auntie, you can prepare such a fragrant pill, and it is so good. As your master, I am very happy, but..."

"Just what?"

Xiaodong asked again anxiously.

"She has a mental illness to begin with. The more serious the illness, the more suspicious and narrow-minded she becomes. Even if you don't tell me, I can guess that there is a lot of discord between her and you. I am a doctor, and it is my duty to tell her about her condition, but judging from her expression, I am afraid she will not believe it. You prescribed this pill for her, but she doesn't know how to use it. She might even doubt your intentions. Why do you have to do these thankless things?"

Qin Yuan lowered his eyelashes.

It’s not a big deal if Madam Xiangliu doesn’t use it.

Doctor Li seemed to be reluctant to let her take out the fragrant pill.

Qin Yuan probed, "This fragrant pill is just right for her condition. If she uses it, it can also relieve her condition, which is not a bad thing. Although I don't get along with her, I don't want her to become seriously ill. Besides, I was originally treating the Marquis and gave her some by the way."

Doctor Li was surprised: "You also matched it with the Marquis?"

Qin Yuan nodded.

Doctor Li looked at the crabapple tree in the corner silently, wondering what he was thinking.

Qin Yuan asked: "Master, is there any taboo in my incense recipe?"

Doctor Li then turned around and said solemnly, "This incense recipe is your ancestral recipe. What's the taboo about it? This fragrance was once designated as a special health-preserving incense by the late Queen Mother. It was because of her that your grandfather was involved in the palace secret case."

In his previous life, Qin Yuan had tried to retrieve the case files to check, but after reading them, he only had a rough idea of ​​what happened and didn't even know there were these secrets.

Thinking of the time when the King of Qi was looking for this unique fragrance in Ranxiangju, Qin Yuan asked, "Since my grandfather, has there been no one in the palace who makes this fragrance? I once ran into the King of Qi looking for this fragrance in Ranxiangju."

Doctor Li asked hurriedly, "Did you reveal anything?"

Qin Yuan shook her head. "That day I was in the compartment of Ranxiangju, and I didn't run into King Qi at all. I just knew he was looking for this kind of incense by coincidence. Shopkeeper Leng even complained that no one could make such a fragrance nowadays, and it was just King Qi's whim."

Doctor Li smiled proudly and said, "Although the owner of Ranxiangju, Leng Wanxiang, is an expert, he does not understand medical principles. He is just putting himself in other people's shoes and thinks that no one else can make the recipe. This is a recipe handed down from the Chen family. Who else can make it?"

To make such an incense, one must be well versed in both medical theory and the art of incense, which is indeed extremely difficult.

This is the Chen family's tradition. It takes many years of hard work to achieve success.

He thought it was going to be the end.

Who would have thought that among the descendants of the Chen family there would be such an intelligent person as Qin Yuan.

Doctor Li was overwhelmed with emotions.

At this time, Qin Yuan looked at the incense pills in the box with mixed feelings, and said: "The Chen family was involved in the case and was finally sentenced to exile. It can be seen that Ben had no important connection with this case. Why can't this incense pill be shown to the world?"

Doctor Li thought for a moment and said, "I am just used to being cautious. Your grandfather was involved in this because someone falsely accused him. There are many factions in the Imperial Hospital, and many of them are just like that person."

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of Doctor Liu's room. Qin Yuan understood that Doctor Li was worried that there were enemies of his grandfather who were doing bad things in the dark. After all, the old case was related to the affairs of the palace, and the forces behind it were complicated and difficult to find.

In the previous life, Doctor Li did not mention these things, firstly because she never said that she wanted to overturn the case for the Chen family, nor did she show her ability to make incense. Secondly, because Lin Ziqi's official position was low, they waited for more than ten years before returning to Beijing to join the cabinet, so Doctor Li could only keep these things underground.

Qin Yuan thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "Master, don't worry. Even if those people who framed my grandfather are still here, in their eyes, the descendants of the Chen family are gone. Even if they have noticed me, I am the daughter of a married woman and can't cause any big waves. I can make incense but I have no master, and Dingbei Marquis Mansion is my backing, so even if they want to do something, they have to think twice."

She said this, but she had other plans in mind.

Doctor Li also said: "You have a good marriage, otherwise I would not dare to tell you this."

Most of the palace affairs are related to the fight for succession, and every detail is related to the person currently sitting on the dragon throne.

He was just a doctor who ran a clinic passed down from his ancestors. Even if he knew something, he had to keep it to himself.

Qin Yuan made a decision, looked straight at Doctor Li and said, "Now that I think about it, it would be better to show the wonders of my Chen family's incense recipe to the world, otherwise how can we overturn the case for the Chen family?"

Doctor Li was silent for a while, then said, "It's OK that the incense recipe is now under the protection of Marquis Dingbei, but we'd better discuss the matter of overturning the case later. If you make the incense, you will be in the open, while others are in the dark. It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark."

Qin Yuan nodded: "Master is right. I will plan slowly and there is no rush."

Things in the past were very complicated, and she had no capital at the moment, so she could only be patient and take it slow.

"What about this incense pill?" Xiaodong asked.

Doctor Li said, "In that case, give it to the Sixth Madam."

Qin Yuan went with them to see other people first.

Since I had already watched it yesterday, I finished it much faster today and finished it in less than an hour.

The three of them parted ways.

Doctor Li and Xiaodong went to the Sixth Madam's courtyard to visit the two young ladies, while Qin Yuan went back to change clothes and went to the upper room to pay her respects.

The two entered the Sixth Madam's courtyard. When Madam Zhao heard the news, she hurried out to greet him and said, "Doctor Li is here. Go and see our young lady."

Aunt Huang was standing on tiptoe in the side room, looking over here through the curtain.

Doctor Li asked, "Are there any serious problems with the two ladies?"

Madam Zhao said, "Sister Qin is getting better now. The young lady woke up and cried for a long time. She drank some medicine and seems to have more strength than a few days ago."

Doctor Li followed Nanny Zhao into the main room.

Madam Gu Liu was more enthusiastic towards Doctor Li than yesterday. She asked with a smile, "Why did Doctor Li come here at this time?"

After taking a look at Madam Gu Liu's expression, Doctor Li frowned.

As he expected, Mrs. Gu Liu did not believe him and did not take his prescription.

Doctor Li said, "My apprentice and I came here after taking a nap. I thought you guys should take a nap too, so I went to another courtyard first."

The smile on Mrs. Gu Liu's face faded a little.

Aunt Zhao said hurriedly, "Dr. Li is a skilled doctor. The young lady is crying hard. Why don't you take a look at her condition first to see if she needs more acupuncture or medicine?"

Doctor Li didn't want to talk to Madam Gu Liu, so he nodded and let Madam Zhao lead the way, then he walked into the inner room, with Madam Gu Liu following closely behind.
