The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1536 - 1622: Misunderstood

As the questioning deepened, Dong Huiying felt a sense of absurdity.

Was she really mistaken?

This person, turned out to be a Hidden Guard beside Her Majesty the Empress?

The leader of the Hidden Guard!

Dong Huiying thought, no wonder this person had Huang Qi disguise as Qinghe to test her, was this the reason?

Dong Dabao’s entanglement with Qinghe ran too deep, his devotion was well known in the Capital; anyone slightly informed would know Dong Dabao once loved that person to death.

The Great Commander approaching her was intended to discover how the Ninth Princess’s curse was broken, she was central to this matter, but due to Xiao Qinghe’s involvement, the Great Commander did not trust her.

Dong Huiying could not help but sigh and rub her forehead; these people, from Prince Meng, the Ninth Princess, the ambitious Eighth Princess, the Prime Minister who replaced the Xiao family, to this Great Commander of the Hidden Guard... they spent their days scheming and guarding against one another, didn’t they tire from living like this?

Dong Huiying truly could not understand. If it were her, she thought she could not endure such a calculated lifestyle. It was too exhausting, too bitter, yet their scheming was understandable.

They pursued what they wanted, even willing to expend all efforts for it, let alone some mental exertion.

"Where is Your Majesty now?"

Dong Huiying posed a pivotal question.

She was confident she could break the curse within Her Majesty the Empress, and once the Empress awoke, everything would be resolved.

But upon reaching this point, the Great Commander appeared hesitant.

Evidently, the Empress held a significant position in the Great Commander’s heart, so much so that, even assisted by venom and hypnosis, Dong Huiying managed to extract considerable intelligence, yet regarding the Empress’s whereabouts, the Great Commander remained silent.

Dong Huiying asked several more times, but without exception, the Hidden Guard’s Great Commander resisted answering.

After a moment of silence, Dong Huiying slowly rose and took out a small pill from her bosom, which she pushed into the Great Commander’s mouth.

It seemed nothing else could be extracted, so let it rest for now.

She turned around and saw Haoming waiting by her side, with a gentle smile appearing on her lips.

"Let’s go, I’m a bit hungry."

Haoming approached her and gently held her hand.

She chuckled softly, and then the two of them exited the room in the west wing together.

Everything she wanted to know, except the Empress’s hiding place, was already discovered.

Huang Qi and the other Hidden Guards no longer needed to be interrogated.

Yet just as Dong Huiying was about to step out the door, the Great Commander, after swallowing the pill, suddenly regained consciousness.

She abruptly looked at Dong Huiying: "Dong Baowei, what have you done to me!?"

Dong Huiying smiled back: "Awake? Faster than I anticipated."

She had expected the Great Commander to take another four hours to wake up, but did not foresee that immediately after taking her pill, she regained awareness.

The Great Commander’s face was extremely unsightly, during the hypnosis, she couldn’t recall well what Dong Huiying had asked. But she knew this young lady had succeeded; she had pried her mouth open!

Her heart was in turmoil, truly uneasy to the utmost.

Your Majesty... How much did she learn about Your Majesty? Could it be harmful to Your Majesty?

Once she considered this, the Great Commander was beset by anxiety.
