After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Linglong spread her hands, indicating that there was no other way.

Then she walked out and considerately closed the door for Shen Yunjin.

Shen Yunjin looked at the unconscious Xiao Minshen, made up his mind, and picked up the medicine.

She pinched her nose and took a sip, then leaned over and kissed Xiao Minshen's lips.

Xiao Minshen's tightly closed lips opened subconsciously, and Shen Yunjin hurriedly used his tongue to send the medicine in his mouth into his mouth.

In this way, one mouthful at a time, he finally fed all the medicine.

Shen Yunjin couldn't help but stick out his tongue. Isn't this medicine too bitter?

She picked up three or four candied fruits and put them in her mouth to suppress the bitter taste in her mouth.

At this time, Linglong opened the door with a wicked smile on her face, first stuck her head out to look, then walked in and took the bowl away.

"Thank you for your hard work tonight, Concubine. The doctor and I are next door. If the prince's high fever persists, I'm afraid he will have to be fed medicine several times."

When Shen Yunjin heard this, he felt the bitter taste in his mouth come back up again.

"Flutter", Xiao Minshen was awakened by the sound of a night bird flying in panic.

"Your Highness!" A crying voice came quickly from outside the window.

Xiao Minshen felt someone pounce on him, "Fulu, get out of here!"

He cried out through gritted teeth as Fulu pressed on his wound and nearly killed him.

"Oh, oh, oh." Fulu hurriedly got up in a panic.

"My Lord, where are you injured? Why is there no news from Mo San and the others?"

"Shh!" Xiao Minshen signaled Fulu to shut up.

Fulu followed Xiao Minshen's gaze and saw that Concubine Shen was lying on the edge of the bed, sleeping soundly.

"Go down first and come back tomorrow to tell me."

Xiao Minshen looked at Shen Yunjin, whose fingers were intertwined with his, and his voice couldn't help but soften.

Fulu saw from the light coming in from the window that Xiao Minshen was fine, so he responded.

Xiao Minshen looked at Shen Yunjin with a gentle expression. She was sleeping soundly with her hands as her pillow.

Probably because her posture was not very comfortable, her brows were slightly wrinkled, her mouth was slightly pouting, and there were two deep dark circles under her eyes.

He brushed the hair on the side of Shen Yunjin's face behind her ears, took a pillow and placed it next to her face, and put her head on it so that she could sleep more comfortably.

He touched the heart area on his left hand. Just these few movements caused pain in the wound.

He couldn't help but think that if he hadn't endured the blow to his back, the blow to his chest would have probably taken his life.

He fell into deep thought, who on earth wanted to kill him so much?

When Xiao Minshen reported to the Ministry of Justice, the first document his superior threw at him was the previous test question leak case.

When Hou San was imprisoned, he revealed that the test questions were given to them by Minister Gao.

They would take the test papers to another place, and when they got there, someone would give them twenty taels of silver.

After Minister Gao was imprisoned, he refused to utter a single word.

This incident made the emperor furious, and he issued an order to conduct a thorough investigation to find out who was behind the incident.

The autumn examination was supposed to be the time for the imperial court to select outstanding talents, but some people openly committed fraud for personal gain, which was simply a contempt for the imperial power and a destructive act for the country.

Xiao Minshen entered the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and he was ready to meet Minister Gao in person.

Xiao Minshen stood in front of the prison and looked Minister Gao up and down.

Minister Gao is already over fifty years old, and a few days in prison have turned his hair completely white.

There were stains all over the clothes and a large piece of the sleeve was torn.

Xiao Minshen signaled to the jailer to open the cell and he walked in.

"You know, the emperor was furious this time, and all the Gao family members were thrown into prison!"

Minister Gao glanced at him, then lowered his eyes and looked at the straw at his feet.

"Come to think of it, this time it was all thanks to you that you leaked the test questions. Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't have thought of promoting the test question booklet."

"By the way, do you know who is responsible for promoting the book? It's the prince!"

"Tell me, if the people behind you knew that it was you who helped the prince get such a great achievement for free, what would they think of you?"

"The people behind you will wonder if you betrayed him. After all, the crown prince will be the heir to the throne in the future!"

Xiao Minshen analyzed it without caring about anything.

"Now, if you tell me who's behind this, I might be able to find a way to save your little son."

All the members of the Gao family were thrown into prison, and Minister Gao's first wife hanged herself as soon as she entered prison.

Minister Gao has many women in his backyard and has given birth to many children.

Everyone else doted on their eldest son, but Minister Gao doted on his three-year-old youngest son the most.

When Xiao Minshen received the information from the secret guard, he was a little skeptical about its credibility.

"Are you serious?" Minister Gao, who had been looking down at the straw, raised his head and looked at Xiao Minshen and asked.

"If you tell me, there might be a glimmer of hope. If you don't tell me, you will definitely die."

Minister Gao remained silent.

He knew that if this matter was exposed, he would have no chance of survival.

Even if the emperor doesn't kill him, the people behind him will not let him live.

Someone had brought him food before, but he felt uncomfortable and did not eat it. As a result, a mouse came and stole the food in the middle of the night. Then, he saw with his own eyes that the mouse died instantly.

He originally thought that as long as he gritted his teeth and didn't reveal the person behind the incident, perhaps his family would still have a chance of survival.

Today, he found out that all his family members were in prison.

The reason he's been able to hold on until now is because there are still people he's worried about.

Other people were fine, but his three-year-old son was born extremely intelligent and had quite a bit of his charm and style back then.

If he could survive, his Gao family would still have a chance to revive.

"There is a box hidden under my bed in my mansion. It contains all the correspondence. Everything the Fifth Prince wants is in it."

"There are some banknotes in it. I ask the Fifth Prince to give them to the person who adopted my youngest son so that he can have food and clothing without worries."

When Minister Gao first did this, he had a trick up his sleeve.

He didn't want to become a scapegoat if the truth came to light.

So he sealed all the correspondence in a special box.

Having said that, he took off a jade pendant from his waist with trembling hands and handed it to Xiao Minshen.

"I beg the Fifth Prince to save him!"

After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Minshen several times.

Xiao Minshen took the jade pendant, said nothing, and turned to leave.

He took people to Minister Gao's house and really dug out the box from under the bed.

He took out all the letters and quickly browsed through them.

He put a few of them into his waist, put the banknotes into his sleeve pocket, and turned to enter the palace.

On the way, Fulu received the news that Minister Gao had hanged himself in prison.

When Xiao Minshen heard the news from Fulu, he couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

Some people stretch their hands too far.
