The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1783 - 1870: Spy

The Great Commander ordered the other Hidden Guards to stay outside the room, feigning a bad mood so that no one dared to approach her, fearing they might fall out of grace.

Thus, inside the room, only the Great Commander and the Empress were left alone.

The Great Commander’s paranoia flared up; at this moment, she trusted no one!

She personally fetched the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, then suddenly remembered that Her Majesty the Empress had her eyes blindfolded and couldn’t see; the black cloth could only be removed a few days later when Dong Huiying would eliminate the remaining toxins from the Empress’s body. Until then, for the sake of the Empress’s eyesight, she must not see any light.

Therefore, the idea of communicating through writing fell through.

The Great Commander clenched her jaw, her heart conflicted, then she took a step forward, approaching Her Majesty the Empress who was seated on the bed.

The Empress silently chuckled, then beckoned to the Great Commander, which gave the Great Commander courage.

The Great Commander leaned closer to the Empress, who had already extended her palm.

Then, the two began their conversation, entirely relying on writing in each other’s palms.

Great Commander: "Your Majesty, I apologize for my rudeness."

The Empress shook her head. She wrote in the Great Commander’s palm: "Have you noticed anything amiss?"

The Great Commander furrowed her brow, "I have been negligent. Although Jiang Feng and I do not get along, I have always acted impartially, not wanting to mix personal matters. I never imagined..."

Earlier, in the pharmacy, Dong Huiying had dipped the potion to write words. She revealed that she discovered someone had tampered with the medicinal ingredients she procured.

Moreover, on the shelves in the pharmacy, some herbs used to remove Gu Insects had been tampered with; clearly, this meddling was done in advance.

Thinking back to Jiang Feng opposing the rescue of the Empress from the start, and the subtle details he showed—his gaze, his targeting, etc.—she had reason to suspect the culprit was Jiang Feng!

Especially when Jiang Feng later broke in, attempting to kill Dong Huiying directly, which enraged the Liang family men, resulting in him losing an arm.

There is only one truth!

A spy!!

Amid the Hidden Guards surrounding the Empress, there was indeed a spy!!

The Empress sighed silently: "Jiang Feng has been by my side since he was ten. You Hidden Guards, though not related by blood—neither same father nor mother—but have been trained together since childhood, forming bonds even if ranks separate you."

That’s precisely why, despite the Great Commander’s discord with Jiang Feng, she has tolerated him. But today’s events were like a blow to the head!

If today, Dong Huiying hadn’t discovered Jiang Feng’s tampering, wouldn’t Her Majesty the Empress have missed a good chance? She might have had to live the rest of her life in that previous state!

Jiang Feng, being the second-in-command among the Hidden Guards, when did he start harboring ulterior motives? Who exactly is he working for?

Previously in the pharmacy, their silence and inaction were all for setting a long-term trap! But Jiang Feng’s actions, even thinking about them now, make the Great Commander unable to suppress her raging anger.

The Empress tapped the back of the Great Commander’s hand lightly: "Regardless of when he betrayed us, his betrayal has served as an alarm. Among the Hidden Guards, he’s likely not the only one who has defected!"
