The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Seeing this, Shang Ruoyi walked out from behind the pillar and picked up the scalpels on the ground one by one.

Although there are plenty of these things in the space, in order not to arouse the suspicion of that man He Jingheng, she had better put them all away. As far as she knows, Tianshun does not seem to have the technology to make steel.

"Where did they go? I remember taking out fourteen scalpels! How come there are only thirteen left?" She didn't notice that one of the scalpels was in He Jingheng's hand.

Just when she was aiming at the medicine bag, He Jingheng used his internal force to suck the scalpel into his hand.

He Jingheng opened the door and looked at the fleeing figures of the men in black. He moved his fingers slightly and saw the shadows of the trees swaying. The next moment, several figures disappeared from the trees not far away.

"What are you looking for?" He Jingheng looked at her and was relieved when he found that there were no wounds on her body.

Shang Ruoyi shook her head and smiled: "Nothing, nothing."

He Yunyi and Qin rushed out of the room.

Shang Ruoyi spread out her palm, on which lay a jade pendant.

"Here you go. Thank you for fulfilling my mission!"

"Sister-in-law!" He Yunyi ignored the jade pendant and hugged Shang Ruoyi, her voice already filled with tears: "I was scared to death, what if something happened to you?"

Qin also wiped her tears: "That's right, it's just a broken jade pendant. Even if it falls off and breaks, what's the big deal? How can it be as important as you?"

Shang Ruoyi was stunned. After two lifetimes, this was the first time she felt the warmth brought by her relatives. In her previous life, everyone told her that as long as she could complete the mission, she would be willing to sacrifice her life. So although she was sad about the death of her teammates, if one person's death could bring greater benefits and allow more people to survive, then the sacrifice would be worth it.

But now someone told her that her life was more important than anything else, how could she not be moved?

"Jing Heng, do you know who is here today?" The old princess came out and said with some concern: "If these killers can find this place, what should we do in the future?"

He Jingheng shook his head, his voice low and somewhat helpless: "My grandson cannot identify the person who came. The Dingguo Palace has made many enemies. There are many people inside and outside the pass who want to kill me."

Shang Ruoyi cast her gaze towards the dense forest, it seemed that she had to do something there.

After a while, Wu Wenhan arrived late with a group of people.

"What's going on?" Wu Wenhan asked in a deep voice, looking at the arrows on the ground.

Shang Ruoyi gave a brief account of what happened, and Wu Wenhan's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. "I didn't expect someone would dare to cause trouble here. This officer will definitely investigate strictly."

"Thank you very much, sir."

Seeing that they had no casualties, Wu Wenhan took his men away again.

Shang Ruoyi watched them leave and couldn't help but sneer. How could it be such a coincidence that they arrived just after the man in black left? There were only so many people in the village. How could he have known about such a big commotion just now? He was just deliberately late. It seemed that the assassin had some connection with the imperial court!

That afternoon, Shang Ruoyi brought Mr. Wu to the town to buy raw materials for building a house.

What happened today made her realize how important it is to have a solid house.

All the materials for building the house could be left to Wu Lao alone. Shang Ruoyi found a blacksmith and handed him a part of the drawing she had drawn: "Master, can you make this drawing?"

The blacksmith took a look at it and nodded, saying, "Okay." He looked at it for a long time but still didn't understand what it was, but he could make it as long as he had the blueprint.

She went to another blacksmith shop and asked him to do the remaining drawings.

The two did not return to the village until it was almost dark.

He Yunyi was so anxious that she kept walking around in circles at home: "Brother, why don't you go and look for her! It's almost dark and my sister-in-law hasn't come back yet. Could something have happened?"

"Yes Jingheng, how about I ask your third uncle to go and greet them?"

He Jingheng shook his head and said calmly, "No need."

"But······"

Just then, there was a sound at the door and Shang Ruoyi's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

"sister in law!"

Shang Ruoyi smiled and handed over the oil paper bag in her hand: "Here, your favorite buns."

Since she walked in, she had never looked at He Jingheng directly, nor had she spoken a word to him.

At first he didn't feel anything different, until when they were distributing the buns and Shang Ruoyi didn't give him any, He Jingheng realized that she seemed a little angry.

When Shang Ruoyi came to the yard to hang clothes, he slowly walked to her side and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Prince, I think we should talk about the divorce."

When Shang Ruoyi finished speaking, He Jingheng frowned almost inaudibly.

"You really want to divorce?"

"What else?" Shang Ruoyi had a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes at all: "You and I were not in love with each other. I was forced to be with you by Shang Nian and the emperor. I said it on the way to exile that we would get divorced when we reach the place of exile, right?" She heard their conversation just now at the door. Everyone was worried about their safety, but he was the only one who looked indifferent.

He Jingheng looked at her and felt a chill in his eyes as she didn't seem to be speaking casually.

Is it because you got the ring that you don't want to continue acting with me?

For some reason, once this conjecture appeared in his mind, he felt as if there was a flame burning in his chest. He sneered, "Whatever you want."

Shang Ruoyi's hands, which were hanging clothes, paused for a moment, and then immediately returned to normal.

"We will divorce after this place is built. This is what the prince promised me personally." After saying that, she took out the ring from her bosom and handed it to him: "I'll return this to you."

The moment the ring appeared, He Jingheng was stunned. This ring...

He looked at Shang Ruoyi: "Didn't you sell this ring?"

"When you took out the ring that day, grandma didn't look very happy. I guessed that the ring was probably very valuable, so I didn't pawn it. I wanted to give it to you when I came back, but I never found the opportunity."

Just one sentence instantly warmed his heart, which had fallen into an icy cellar.

He took the ring and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. It seemed that he had won this gamble after all.

No, it should be said that I won the bet but lost my heart.

Shang Ruoyi saw him take the ring and said calmly, "Sir, don't forget about the divorce."

"Let's talk about it later!" He Jingheng turned and left.

Say more?

Why say it again?

Didn’t you just agree to it?

The assassination attempt in exile soon spread to the East Palace.

"What did you say?" He Lingsheng slammed the book on the table and said angrily, "Who is it? How dare you ruin my plan!"

"Yes...it's the Imperial Concubine."
