Chapter 1083: Chapter 1077: Found Out Searcy’s Details

He mumbled, "I truly am pure and desire-less, but I have been poisoned by you."

...

Madam Li, very efficient in handling matters, soon uncovered the full background of Doctor Searcy.

"Empress, this Doctor Searcy is also a young lady from Beijing, and you would never guess who she really is."

It was rare to see Madam Li handle matters with such gravity over the years.

"Who is she?"

Madam Li hummed and said, "Her real name is not Searcy; her last name is Lu. She is Lu Youchang’s daughter, named Lu Xueying."

"General Lu’s daughter?" The Empress exclaimed, "How have I never heard that General Lu’s daughter became a doctor? Why would she hide her identity?"

Madam Li continued, "Right when Gu Youyou was preparing to go to Qi Mountain to seek treatment from the Heavenly Master, a major incident occurred in the Lu Family. It’s not new that Madam Lu looked more masculine than men, but at that time, she announced she would stay indoors and focus on treating her illness, claiming her appearance changed because of a sickness.

In fact, it was not a sickness; she was poisoned, and the person who poisoned her was Searcy’s concubine-aunt. That concubine of General Lu was brought from Madam Lu’s maternal home and had been with Madam Lu all along, even after marrying into General Lu’s residence.

However, this concubine was malicious and cunning and had started poisoning Madam Lu a long time ago, which led to her masculine appearance.

Later, when the truth came out, this concubine committed suicide, leaving behind a daughter, which was Lu Xueying. Blinded by anger, Madam Lu took it out on Lu Xueying, beating her nearly to death. But in need of a cure for her condition, she had no choice but to seek out Gu Youyou.

Whatever transaction they had between them, this old servant does not know, but I do know that Gu Youyou treated Madam Lu, and in return, Madam Lu entrusted Lu Xueying to Gu Youyou. When Lu Xueying faced the world again, she had changed her name to Searcy."

With this explanation, the Empress already understood.

But knowing how cruel the concubine was, she wondered, what about the daughter?

No, the women placed by her son’s side must be safe; she could not be careless.

She said, "You may leave now!"

To obtain more detailed information, the Ducal Residence must handle it.

It seems she needs to find an opportunity to meet with her grandfather, as only he can personally undertake this matter.

...

Unaware of her background being exposed, Searcy was currently bullying a carriage driver.

"Hey, do you even know how to care for horses? Look how skinny this horse has become under your care. If you cause the Grand Prince and his consort to fall into a ditch, dying a hundred times wouldn’t be enough."

Gui Yunxi glanced at the horse Searcy was pointing at, and said, "This kind of horse is actually good on its feet, spare us your comments if you don’t understand."

"I don’t understand?" Searcy, pointing to her nose, sneered, "Believe it or not, I can kill this horse."

"I..." Gui Yunxi said weakly, "Believe, I believe you, please spare it, do not think about hurting this horse, it’s doing well, it has the best stamina and endurance among all the horses."

Gui Yunxi knew that Searcy used horses to test medicine, and their Family Head, Gu Youyou, had agreed.

So as soon as Searcy spoke, he immediately got scared and didn’t dare to retort, fearing Searcy might take this horse away.

He truly cared for the horse.

Searcy clapped her hands, walking back to the inner courtyard with her nose in the air.
