The soft-waisted princess was pinched and pampered by the ascetic prince after her rebirth

At night, Emperor Yong'an fell ill again, and his physical condition deteriorated sharply. Shen Ruzhou had no choice but to use twice the usual amount of medicine to stabilize his condition.

After giving the needle to Emperor Yong'an, Shen Ruzhou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and after instructing the palace maid to take good care of him, he returned to the pharmacy and continued to search for medical books.

She knew very well that Emperor Yong'an could not last more than half a month in his current state.

However, Beixiu Yan had just set off for the campaign. If Emperor Yong'an passed away, Xiao Chenyan, as the crown prince, would legitimately inherit the throne. If the time came to overthrow him, the only way would be rebellion.

Shen Ruzhou took the letter and sent a message to Qin Ming. During this period, he must guard Emperor Yong'an and never leave the palace.

The next day, when he learned that Xiao Chenyan was coming to visit, Shen Ruzhou took strong medicine again in order to prevent him from seeing the clues.

Under the influence of the medicine, Emperor Yong'an seemed to be in much better spirits, and he half-leaned on the bed and talked to Xiao Chenyan for a while.

Before going out, Xiao Chenyan pulled Shen Ruzhou aside, avoided everyone, and asked quietly: "How is your father's health recently? When can he go to court?"

Shen Ruzhou sneered in his heart. He had looked filial just now, but now he began to worry that the emperor was about to come to court.

She had a calm expression on her face and said in the tone of a doctor: "The emperor has been breathing well these past two days and eating more. After a few days of careful recovery, he should be able to get out of bed and walk around. As for when he can go to court. To manage politics, you need to check your pulse again to decide.”

After hearing this, Xiao Chenyan frowned slightly, thoughtfully. After a moment, he put on a smiling face and said enthusiastically: "Ruzhou, it's been really hard for you to serve my father without clothes for the past two days. Now my father is seriously ill. When things get better, I’ll send you home to rest for a few days.”

Shen Ruyi could not guess what kind of medicine Xiao Chenyan was selling in the gourd, but she knew very well that according to Emperor Yong'an's current physical condition, she could not leave for a moment, so she flatly rejected his kindness.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It is my duty to diagnose the emperor's illness, so I don't feel it is hard. Besides, although the condition has improved, there is no guarantee that it will not recur. To protect the dragon's health, I dare not leave without permission."

Xiao Chenyan did not force him any more and just said: "You haven't returned home for many days. General Shen is very worried. He just handed over a name card to visit the palace. However, this is the harem after all. It is really inappropriate for him to let a foreigner come in." rule."

Shen Ruzhou felt warm knowing that her family cared about her, but the situation in the palace was complicated and she didn't want to involve her brother, so she decided to write a peace letter and give it to Xiao Chenyan.

"Please give it to my brother, Your Highness. He will feel relieved after seeing my souvenir."

"Okay, I will deliver it to you." Xiao Chenyan took it and turned to leave. Shen Ruzhou seemed to see a flash of smile at the corner of his mouth.

As if being aroused by the sudden cold air, Shen Ruzhou couldn't help shuddering, and a bad feeling arose spontaneously.

She returned to the pharmacy and opened the medical book, but she couldn't read it. She simply stood up and went to the window. At this moment, she saw Imperial Physician Chu sneaking out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony from the side door.

Although Shen Ruzhou was in charge of treating Emperor Yong'an, the Imperial Hospital still sent people to be on duty every day. This Dr. Chu was the one who came the most. Now that he was on duty, but he left quietly away from everyone's eyes and ears, he must be doing something shameful.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruzhou lifted up his clothes and followed him. Along a winding path, Shen Ruzhou saw Imperial Physician Chu entering the East Palace through an inconspicuous door.

Xiao Chenyan is indeed planning something again. A sharp cold light suddenly flashed in Shen Ruzhou's eyes. She searched around and saw a tree right next to the courtyard wall. If she climbed up, she should be able to see the scene inside the courtyard.

Shen Ruzhou tucked her skirt into her belt, hugged the tree trunk and climbed up. Hidden among the dense leaves, she could see the scene in the courtyard clearly.

I saw Imperial Doctor Chu and Xiao Chenyan standing in the corridor talking something. After a while, Xiao Chenyan took out a small medicine bottle from his sleeve and stuffed it into Imperial Doctor Chu's hand.

Is this an attempt to kill Emperor Yong'an? Upon seeing this, Shen Ruzhou tried his best to recall all the events in his previous life. The previous Emperor Yong'an died suddenly and Xiao Chenyan successfully ascended the throne.

At that time, she was heartbroken because of her father's death in battle, and did not pay too much attention to it. Now it seems that the death of Emperor Yong'an is inseparable from Xiao Chenyan.

For the sake of the throne, he did not hesitate to violate human ethics and kill his father. It is simply worse than a beast.

In front of the main entrance of the East Palace, Shen Chumu had been waiting for a long time before Jun Wucai came over with a letter and said, "General Shen, it is not convenient for Miss Shen to see you now, so I specially wrote a safe letter and asked my subordinate to give it to you."

Jun Wu deliberately evaded his words, which made Shen Chumu, who had received the safety letter, even more doubtful. He didn't understand why Shen Ruzhou was inconvenient to see him. He had to ask clearly about what happened at the Ten Thousand Flowers Festival.

Shen Chumu walked along the palace road, thinking desperately about how to meet Shen Ruzhou.

Turning around a moon arch, Shen Chumu's eyes suddenly lit up. Isn't the woman in red in front of her the same as Shen Ruzhou? .

He walked over quickly, and as soon as he put his hand on Shen Ruzhou's shoulder, he was pricked by a needle, and instantly half of his body became numb.

After Shen Ruzhou finished tying up, he saw clearly that the person following him was Shen Chumu, and he felt regretful for a while.

She had just come down from the tree and was about to rush back to Taihe Palace to try to deal with the poisoning when she noticed someone was chasing her. She alertly took out the poison needle and pricked it.

"Brother, brother..." Shen Ruzhou's needle was filled with strong anesthetic. Shen Chumu's body soon slipped down uncontrollably, and she hurriedly stretched out her hands to support him.

"Did you just come out of the East Palace?"

As soon as Shen Chumu asked, Shen Ruzhou covered her mouth. She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Brother, you must not tell anyone about my coming out of the East Palace."

"What are you going to do..." Shen Chumu had begun to lose consciousness and passed out after just saying a few words.

The potency of the drug was enough for Shen Chumu to sleep for at least half a day. Shen Ruzhou was helpless and had to recruit two guards to take Shen Chumu out of the palace.

In the evening, Qin Ming organized the movements of various ministries in the capital and wrote them down one by one to send to the Beixiu Banquet. However, thinking about the rumors about Shen Ruzhou, he hesitated for a long time and finally couldn't write.

It happened that at this time, Shen Chumu came and told Qin Ming what happened in the palace during the day. Qin Ming thought for a moment and then said: "No matter what the rumors are outside, I believe that Miss Shen must have her own ideas when doing this."

"But you have to worry about the differences between men and women. Alas! I'll find another opportunity to ask for clarification later." After all, Shen Chumu saw it with his own eyes, and it was confusing to be concerned about it, and he was always worried.

Qin Ming didn't write these things in the letter after all. He didn't want Beixiu Yan on the front line to worry.
