The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

"Ling'er, I remember you mentioned yesterday that there was a problem you hadn't figured out. Come on, let's go to the study and talk about it. Ruo'er is smart, you can come and give your third uncle some advice."

"Ruyi, you and your mother, Dalang and Erlang haven't seen each other for a long time, so you must have a lot to talk about. You can stay here and chat with them and eat some cakes."

Old Lord Shen suddenly spoke and winked at Shen Junling.

Shen Junling understood that his father didn't want his elder sister to know about his and his second brother's health conditions, so he made an excuse to go to the study.

Shen Ruyi held back her tears and watched with a smile as Lord Shen and his entourage left.

In fact, she knew that her father was making such a clumsy excuse, but she just didn't want to worry her.

After arriving at the study, before Lord Shen could say anything, Qin Ruo gestured for him to stretch out his wrist.

"Grandfather, you have vomited blood these days." When Qin Ruo's fingers touched the pulse of old Marquis Shen, her heart sank and her brows frowned instantly.

When Lord Shen and his son first came in, she noticed that they both looked sick.

The condition of Old Marquis Shen was much more serious than she had imagined.

Qi and blood are not flowing smoothly, Qi flow is disordered, and internal organs are severely damaged. This body has almost reached its limit.

"One, one time..." Shen Junling and Shen Junye were shocked and said in unison.

The poison in Shen Ruyi's body was antidote given by Qin Ruo, and the three of them, father and son, all knew this.

They also knew that Qin Ruo was knowledgeable in medicine.

But she didn't expect that she just took the pulse and found out that Old Marquis Shen had vomited blood before.

Hope instantly arose in the hearts of the two brothers.

"I'm afraid it's more than that. If I'm not mistaken, Grandfather, you also vomited blood this morning."

"Yes, Ruo'er's medical skills are really amazing. I felt a tightness in my chest when I got up this morning, but I felt better after vomiting." Old Marquis Shen did not hide anything and told Qin Ruo about his symptoms openly.

Old Lord Shen was well aware of his condition. After the Battle of Black Canyon a few years ago, he did not receive timely medical treatment and the medical conditions were limited during the march, which left him with a chronic illness.

Every time his old injury flared up, he felt worse than death. He had long since accepted that even the imperial physicians were powerless to help.

"Grandfather's health is severely damaged. Hasn't he had a good rest in these years?" Qin Ruo had finished taking the pulse of old Marquis Shen and sighed softly.

"Ruo'er, what about your grandfather's body...is there still a chance?" Shen Junling's heart sank to the bottom, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope.

No wonder the palace gave down so many medicinal herbs. It turned out that my father’s health had become so serious.

"Ling'er, don't make things difficult for Ruo'er. Father is old and has long since become indifferent to everything." Lord Shen didn't care at all and interrupted Shen Junling.

"Don't worry, let me finish taking my second uncle's pulse first." After Qin Ruo said this, she began to concentrate on taking Shen Junye's pulse.

The result was naturally as she expected.

Shen Junye's health condition was not much better than that of Old Lord Shen. If he continued like this, he would not live for many years even if he was kept alive.

Seeing that Qin Ruo took Shen Junye's pulse but didn't say anything, Shen Junling became very anxious.

On the contrary, Lord Shen and his son Shen Junye looked as usual, as if they were not affected at all.

"Ruo'er, don't tell your mother about the health conditions of your second uncle and me. Your mother is not in good health, so don't make her worry." Old Marquis Shen waved his hand, looking nonchalant, and Shen Junye nodded in agreement.

"You two really think that my mother can't see through it? She just didn't expose you two." Qin Ruo glanced at Old Marquis Shen and his father. When she left, the worry in her mother's eyes was about to overflow.

And Mr. and son Shen Laohou wouldn't think that their mother wouldn't be able to see through their clumsy excuse to get rid of her, right?

"Is there really no way out?" Shen Junling looked depressed, his eyes were red.

"Ruo'er, this is the prescription that the emperor ordered the imperial physician to write when father and second brother entered the palace yesterday. Take a look." Shen Junling suddenly took out a prescription from his pocket and handed it to Qin Ruo with full of anticipation.

Qin Ruo took it, read it carefully, and returned the prescription after a while with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

"Is this the prescription written by the imperial physician? It seems that the emperor is really afraid of you, my grandfather and my second uncle. This prescription seems to be fine on the surface, and it is all warming and tonic medicine. In fact, long-term use will slowly erode the vitality of the human body and accelerate the failure of the functions of various organs in the human body..."

"If you take the medicine according to this prescription, I'm afraid that person will get what he wants within three months." Qin Ruo said this bluntly, and Shen Junling's face turned pale.

Even the expressions of Old Lord Shen and Shen Junye turned ugly.

Old Marquis Shen knew that Emperor Jing Zhao was very wary of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion. He just didn't expect that he was so impatient and had already started to attack himself and his son without caring about the past relationship.

"Does the emperor really not tolerate us? The Shen family has been loyal to the country and the people for generations. Father and second brother have worked hard over the years, even if they have not made any contributions. What on earth is the emperor thinking?"

With a "bang", Shen Junling slammed the table heavily, feeling extremely sad and angry.

For the sake of this prosperous empire, the Wu'an Marquisate's grandfather and uncles all lost their lives on the battlefield, and his uncles didn't even leave any descendants.

Now, my father and elder brother have resigned their military power, but the emperor is pressing on.

"Ling'er, calm down. Ruo'er is still here, why are you talking about all this?" Old Marquis Shen stopped Shen Junling. He didn't want to drag the Qin family into the water.

"Ruo'er, after your enthronement ceremony, take your mother away from the capital immediately. I will arrange someone to pick you up and notify you then." Old Marquis Shen looked calm and began to arrange the rest of the things.

He couldn't leave himself, so he would send as many people away as possible.

The Emperor has asked the imperial physician to tamper with the prescription, which means that the Emperor has accelerated the plan. Besides, the Emperor clearly knows the relationship between the Shen family and the Qin family, but he has remained silent. Based on my understanding of the Emperor, he must have a backup plan.

"The whole world belongs to the king. I am a player in the game, so I have no intention of escaping. Before I entered the capital, I knew that this trip was just a feast at Hongmen, but so what? If someone deliberately uses me as a chess piece, then I must be prepared to be attacked by the chess piece. Until the end, it is still uncertain who will win."

"Don't worry. I know my limits." Qin Ruo's words were full of contempt for the world, leaving Lord Shen and his son dumbfounded.

Before, the father and son only thought that Qin Ruo was an inexperienced woman who didn't understand the situation in the court. They didn't expect that she was so courageous.

"You don't need to take the imperial physician's prescription. These are the Guyuan Pills and Huisheng Dew that I developed when I had nothing else to do. They are quite effective in repairing old injuries, so feel free to take them. After my grandfather and second uncle get better, it's not impossible for them to return to their peak form."
