After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times
Chapter 45: Chess Game at the Door
When Yu Tingwan returned to the palace with two secret guards and was about to climb over the wall at the back, she looked up and saw that the main gate of the palace was wide open and the lights were on inside.
Yu Tingwan paused for a moment, then changed direction and walked towards the main entrance.
When Yu Ting reached the stairs at night, he saw that our Prince Chen was sitting upright inside the door with a table in front of him, and was playing chess with Lu Cheng, the genius doctor, who was sitting opposite him.
As if he noticed someone was looking at him, he looked up and saw Yu Tingwan. Shen Chenli greeted her while making his move: "The princess is back?"
"..."
Yu Tingwan's eyes twitched slightly. How embarrassing! Also, is it necessary to make such a big fuss?
Stepping inside, Yu Tingwan looked at the black and white chess pieces on their chessboard and nodded in response to his previous greeting.
"Your Highness is in a good mood. Why are you not sleeping at night and playing chess at the gate of the mansion? Aren't you afraid of scaring those hardworking night watchmen?"
"The princess is not in the mansion, and I am very worried. I am also afraid that the princess will try to climb over the wall again. If she gets hurt, I will feel sorry for her. It would be better for me to wait at the gate of the mansion so that the princess can enter the mansion through the main gate."
Yu Tingwan rolled her eyes when she heard this. Was it necessary for this person to insult her like this?
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am not stumped by a wall!"
When the servants at the side saw the princess coming back, they hurriedly moved a chair for Yu Tingwan. Now, Yu Tingwan was no longer in a hurry to go back, but just sat aside and watched them play chess.
Even though she couldn't understand it!
Lu Cheng put down the white piece in his hand and looked at Yu Tingwan: "Where is the princess going now?"
The princess had only been married into the palace for a few days, but she had already sneaked out twice, both times in the middle of the night.
Yu Tingwan put down the teacup in his hand, stared at the chessboard and answered his question nonchalantly.
"I heard that there is a beautiful painting in the study of Imperial Doctor Liu's mansion. I am curious and I will go to Liu's mansion to take a look."
The two people who were playing chess stopped at the same time, looked up at Yu Tingwan who had been staring at the chessboard, and the corners of their mouths twitched.
How does this guy manage to speak so easily?
Where did you hear that? How come they don’t know?!
Not to mention them, even An Yi and Butler Chen and others who had been standing by couldn't help laughing.
It’s amazing that the princess can describe the night visit to Liu’s mansion in such a fresh and refined way!
Shen Chenli knew something about the situation, so he naturally understood why she went to Liu's house: "Do you think the death of the late Madam is related to Doctor Liu?"
"It was this Imperial Doctor Liu who treated my mother when she was ill. I suspect there is something wrong with my mother's pulse diagnosis."
"But, I remember that Minister Yu had invited many imperial doctors to come to the mansion to see the late Madam. How can you be sure that it must be Doctor Liu's problem?"
Yu Tingwan looked at him and sneered: "Yu Huaiyi invited many imperial doctors, but the only one who went to my mother's hospital was this Imperial Doctor Liu!"
"You mean..." Shen Chenli frowned, then suddenly remembered the information he had looked up, turned around and told Wei Ming to get it.
"I have investigated the Shangshu Mansion before and found some things. I think you should take a look."
Lu Cheng was curious, did Yu Tingwan find out anything when he went to Liu's house?
Seeing his curiosity, Yu Tingwan glanced at him and handed them several pulse records that he had not put into the space.
"We found out a lot of things!"
The two men looked at each other and took the pulse case. Although Shen Chenli didn't understand most of it, he knew there was a problem.
Lu Cheng frowned, then shook his head and sighed, "How could the imperial doctors in the palace become like this? They don't have any bottom line as doctors. How can they be called doctors? They are more like executioners!"
Who said no?
"Have you found your mother's pulse case?" Shen Chenli looked at it for a long time. Although he couldn't understand the pulse case, he didn't see her mother's name.
Yu Tingwan pointed out the following content for him.
"Here," Yu Tingwan thought of the contents of the pulse record, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Oh, my mother's pulse is disordered, the pulse beats fast and slow, and her breathing is rapid. This is clearly the pulse of poisoning, but I don't know what they handed to the Imperial Hospital, but no one noticed anything wrong."
Shen Chenli handed the book in his hand to Lu Cheng and asked him to take a look. Lu Cheng nodded. It was indeed the pulse condition, but it did not match what they had investigated before and the pulse records in the Imperial Hospital.
Lu Cheng said: "Indeed, the pulse records of the Imperial Hospital that we investigated earlier said that Madam Ling's pulse was as thin as a thread and the pulse was weak, which was a symptom of physical weakness and heart disease."
Yu Tingwan frowned. Heart disease? Bullshit!
According to her understanding, no one in the Jiang family had ever suffered from heart disease, and her mother was young and had nothing to worry about.
It's not like in modern times, where after a day's work, people often stay up late to work overtime, and there is no phenomenon of staying up late to play with mobile phones. How could he suddenly develop a heart disease?
After Wei Ming brought the thing over, Yu Tingwan frowned as he looked at the contents inside. It was exactly as Lu Cheng said.
Not only that, it also clearly records other information about the Shangshu Mansion and her mother.
"Before my mother fell ill, the emperor frequently summoned Yu Huaiyi?"
Shen Chenli nodded: "At that time, I investigated you... and then accidentally discovered this matter. After the emperor summoned Yu Shangshu, Yu Shangshu began to visit your mother's courtyard frequently.
Until one time, Yu Shangshu went to your mother and got really angry, and he rarely went there after that. Then, your mother suddenly became bedridden. "
Indeed, during that period, Yu Huaiyi often went to the main courtyard. The original owner was very happy at that time, but later, her mother did not allow the original owner to see her father often, except during meals.
But after every meal, her mother would ask the maid around her to take the original owner back to her own yard.
Therefore, the original owner had no idea what her mother and Yu Huaiyi had said to each other, and she didn’t even know about the quarrel between the couple that Shen Chenli mentioned!
Yu Tingwan raised her eyes to look at him: "Your Highness is very resourceful. He knows everything about things that happened so many years ago, even I, his daughter, don't know!"
The hand that was touching the chess piece paused, and Shen Chenli did not dare to look at her for a moment. He only rubbed the tip of his nose lightly with his fingertips to hide his slight embarrassment.
At this time, Lu Cheng no longer stared at the chessboard where he was about to lose, but watched the fun with a gloating look on his face. He said that sooner or later there would be something exciting to watch, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon!
Shen Chenli put down his hand, sighed slightly, and looked at Yu Tingwan helplessly and apologetically: "I believe that Princess also knows that my situation was special at the time, and I was suddenly granted marriage, so I had to be more cautious."
Yu Tingwan nodded in agreement. Of course, she didn't blame him for investigating her. If it were her, she would do the same: "That's right."
Now it seems that my mother's death is probably inextricably linked to the emperor.
But why would the emperor take action against a minister's wife? Or was it to deal with the Grand Tutor's Mansion? But isn't this too far-fetched?
And what role did Yu Huaiyi play in this? Why did he attack his own wife?
But no matter what, we have gained something today. The rest will depend on what results we can get when we go to the Shangshu Mansion tomorrow!
