Shang Ruoyi and the others were sitting on the low couches with their eyes closed to rest, and from time to time the old princess' coughs could be heard.

After a moment, Qin opened her eyes and looked at He Jingheng's legs not far away. A trace of pain flashed across her eyes. Thinking of her husband whose life or death was uncertain, she could no longer control her tears and cried softly.

Shang Ruoyi was a light sleeper to begin with, and she woke up immediately when she heard Qin's crying.

Guessing the reason why she was crying, Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly. She wanted to speak out to comfort her, but she didn't know how. Her job in her previous life made her accustomed to relying on herself for everything, whether it was hardship or pain, she had to handle all emotions on her own, so she really couldn't do things like comforting others.

Just when she was about to wake up He Jingheng, she noticed that his forehead was covered with large beads of sweat, his face was pale, and his lips were faintly purple.

This is poisoning!

Shang Ruoyi quickly stood up, walked to He Jingheng, grabbed his wrist, and her face suddenly changed.

I can't even feel a pulse!

My body felt like it was frozen.

She filled the water bag with spiritual spring water and fed him a few sips.

After a while, he didn't seem to be so cold anymore, and his pulse gradually recovered, but it was beating very slowly.

He Jingheng fell into a coma directly.

Shang Ruoyi's movements were not big and did not alarm others, but Qin saw it clearly.

"Ruoyi, what happened to Heng'er?" She wiped away her tears and asked softly.

"It looks like he's been poisoned." She put her hand on his wrist, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Judging from his pulse, there was no sign of poisoning.

However, if he wasn't poisoned, why would he suddenly become like this?

"Poisoned?" Qin covered her mouth in fear, tears could not stop coming out: "What should I do? My Heng'er."

"Mom, don't cry. His life doesn't seem to be in danger right now. Let's wait until he wakes up and ask him about it!" When taking his pulse, I could feel that his body was gradually recovering, so he would probably wake up soon.

Qin Shi heard this and gradually stopped crying. She nodded and said, "Ruoyi, I have never had any ideas since I was a child. When I was at my parents' home, I listened to my parents. After I got married, I listened to your grandmother and father. Now that the Ding Palace is in trouble, I don't know what to do. I see that you have your own ideas, so I will leave this family to you from now on."

Shang Ruoyi smiled when she heard this: "Mother, I was a concubine's daughter before I got married. My mother, the eldest lady, never taught me household affairs, so I know nothing about housekeeping. Besides, there is no household affairs to do right now. Mother, I'll leave this household to you."

Qin nodded and said, "Okay, then when we arrive at the place of exile, I will hand over the power of housekeeper to you." Qin looked at He Jingheng with a very heavy look in her eyes.

The journey is long, and it is unknown whether everyone in Dingguo Palace can reach the place of exile alive.

Shang Ruoyi did not answer. When they arrived at the place of exile, it would be even more impossible for her to keep the housekeeper position. She had already told He Jingheng that they would divorce when they arrived at the place of exile.

Qin held her hand and talked for a long time, and she gradually fell asleep when she felt sleepy.

Late at night, when He Jingheng slowly woke up from his coma, he found himself leaning on Shang Ruoyi. Waves of warmth came from her body. No wonder the pain this time was much less than before.

As soon as He Jingheng made a move, Shang Ruoyi woke up.

"Sorry, I woke you up."

"It's okay." Shang Ruoyi looked at his appearance and expression, and obviously knew that he was poisoned. She asked in a deep voice: "What kind of poison did you take?"

"When I was attacking a small border country a few years ago, their national teacher poisoned me with a poison called Binggu. On the first night of every month, all the bones in my body seemed to be frozen, and I would lose consciousness for a short time. I used to go outside at this time every month to avoid worrying my father and mother, but in this situation, I seem to have nowhere to go. I still need you to help me cover up for my mother." He Jingheng looked at Qin and the old princess: "Although I am your mother's biological child, I grew up in the military camp since I was a child. I didn't spend much time in the palace, so I am not close to my mother."

"She already knows." Shang Ruoyi said softly, "She saw you when the poison took effect just now."

He Jingheng frowned briefly: "If she asks you, just say it's not serious."

"it is good."

He just said that they are not close yet, but actually he doesn’t want to make her worry!

Shang Ruoyi, who originally planned to go to the space to rest, fell asleep leaning against He Jingheng without realizing it.

The next morning, before dawn, Shang Ruoyi was awakened by the sound of machinery in the space.

"The number of life forms has increased and the space has been upgraded."

Upgrade again?

Shang Ruoyi's consciousness directly entered the space, and the white tiger hurried over and circled around her.

She touched its head and smiled: "You have grown taller in just one day of not seeing you?"

The space says that there are more living things. Could it be that the rabbit has given birth?

Sure enough, when I pulled aside the grass, I saw a few little rabbits sleeping under the mother rabbit's belly. They were soft, small and very cute.

It turns out that this can also upgrade the space.

I wonder what features were upgraded this time?

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a rooster crowing.

chicken?

I don’t raise chickens in the space!

Could it be that······

She walked quickly forward and found that there was an additional livestock area in the space.

A dozen chickens and ducks were eating inside.

There are a few eggs in the nest.

With these, why worry about food?

She picked up the eggs, and perhaps because of the space they took up, she found that these eggs were much larger than the ones outside.

There was no pot in the space, otherwise she would have wanted to cook one immediately, considering how long it had been since she had eaten eggs.

At this moment, she sensed that some people in the house had woken up one after another. She hurried out of the space and slowly opened her eyes. He Yunyi walked up to her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are the last one to wake up today."

“Maybe I’m a little tired these days.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open from the outside.

"Those inside, come out quickly." The official of the post house frowned and said in a deep voice, "I really don't know what Zhang Hu is thinking. He is just a prisoner, but he gave him a separate room."

When they came out of the inn, the other prisoners were already in the yard.

The second branch of the He family watched them come out and was filled with resentment.

Zhang said with a gloomy face, "Look at how soundly they sleep. We are all prisoners, but we sleep in a dirty and smelly place, while they sleep alone in other places. I don't know what Shang Ruo relied on to confuse the officials."

Her voice was loud and the prisoners around could hear it clearly. They began to suspect that Shang Ruoyi must have some unclear relationship with the officer, otherwise why would the officer give convenience to the He family alone?
