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

"It is a great favor for a prostitute to have been able to serve as the prince of a county for so long. Now he dares to covet the throne of the prince." Concubine Zhao snorted coldly, "You really don't know what you are talking about."

"Your Majesty is right." Bixi knelt on the ground and said softly, "Then how should we deal with He Jinghe?"

"Agree first, and when we get the ring, we'll deal with him directly." Concubine Zhao leaned on the couch and asked in a cold voice, "Have you investigated the source of the silver in the Dingguo Palace?"

"Not yet. According to our people, Shang Ruoyi stays at home or in the greenhouse all day long. We haven't seen her go anywhere to get the silver. It's as if all this money appeared out of thin air." Bixi was puzzled. "And she always comes up with some strange things. She also grows a kind of fruit called strawberry, which is said to be very sweet. She can make hundreds of taels of silver every day by selling strawberries. This is more comfortable than living in the capital."

"I didn't expect that I was wrong." Concubine Zhao's eyes were full of ruthlessness: "This woman must not be kept."

Shang Ruoyi, who was far away in the Far North, sneezed twice in succession. She rubbed her nose, thinking that someone must be scolding her behind her back.

He Jinghe's escape was discovered by Zhao Junyi.

He came to the He family and said in a cold voice: "He Jinghe Tao is a member of your He family. If he escapes, your entire He family will be punished." He said in a cold voice: "According to the law, you must be whipped dozens of times, but considering that you have always abided by your duties and have not done anything out of the ordinary, each of you will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane and a fine of one hundred taels of silver!" He heard that Shang Ruoyi could make a fortune by selling a kind of fruit called strawberries every day, and he wanted a hundred taels of silver, which was not much!

When the He family heard this, they were immediately panicked. How could they withstand twenty lashes of the cane?

Especially the old lady and Cong Fangzhi.

How could their bodies withstand such a beating?

"Sir, please have mercy! My mother is old and can't bear it!"

"Hmph, I have already taken extra care of your He family by not putting you in jail." After he finished speaking, he waved his hand lightly, and a group of bailiffs walked up to them, ready to escort them to the courtyard.

At this moment, Shang Ruoyi came hurriedly, holding a piece of paper in her hand: "Sir, wait a minute!"

Zhao Junyi frowned when he saw that the person coming was Shang Ruoyi: "What do you have to say? Don't think that you can let me be partial and corrupt just because you help me treat the disease." Shang Ruoyi smiled: "I know what kind of person you are. You will never do such a thing. You are famous for being fair in this place of exile."

Zhao Junyi felt very comfortable hearing this wave of flattery.

"Tell me! What's the matter?"

Shang Ruoyi handed him the paper in her hand and said, "Sir, please take a look. This is the document of our separation from He Ning'an's family. It is also signed by the government office."

What? The document of separation?

Zhao Junyi frowned and took it in his hand. It was indeed the document for the division of the family.

There is indeed a government office signature on it.

If this is the case, He Jinghe has nothing to do with them.

Even if they escape, they will not be implicated.

She had prepared the documents for the division of the family early on, and knowing that the second branch was not an easy person to deal with, she signed it early.

The He family didn't expect that she had this trick up her sleeve, and they were overjoyed.

The old princess's heart slowly settled down.

Zhao Junyi looked at the document with a slightly gloomy expression.

It doesn't matter whether he was beaten or not. The key point is that the one hundred taels of silver he wanted to embezzle was wasted.

"Sir, there is nothing wrong with this document, right?"

Zhao Junyi returned the document to her and said in a deep voice: "No problem, but this He Jinghe ran away from your house. You can't escape the blame for not supervising him strictly."

He wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Shang Ruoyi: "Speaking of this matter, even if you don't come to us, I will definitely come to you."

"Oh?"

"After He Jinghe woke up, we kept asking him to leave, but he refused to leave. He pretended to be unconscious all day and even ate and drank in our house. I wanted to ask you to chase him away, but he stole things from my house and ran away." Shang Ruoyi was a little angry: "Please arrest him, this kind of traitor must not be allowed to go unpunished."

After speaking righteously, she turned the He family into victims. In this way, Zhao Junyi could not find a reason to punish them even if he wanted to.

"What did you lose?"

"Some gold and silver jewelry, and a jade ring."

Zhao Junyi recorded what she said in the book, then left with a group of yamen runners with a gloomy face.

After Zhao Junyi left, Qin walked up to him and said with lingering fear: "Ruoyi, thanks to you, otherwise something terrible would have happened today."

"Mother, I told you that my sister-in-law is the most powerful." He Yunyi stepped forward and said, "If it weren't for my sister-in-law, we wouldn't be able to escape the beating today."

Cong Fangzhi stepped forward and said, "Thank you sister-in-law for today, otherwise I and the baby in my belly..."

"We are all family, why are you saying this?" Shang Ruoyi had just finished speaking when the old princess asked, "You said he stole the ring?"

"Yes, Grandmother." Shang Ruoyi whispered, "When I first came here, Jing Heng asked me to pawn this ring. I thought the jade used to make the ring was very precious, but the owner of the pawnshop in town didn't know the value of it and couldn't give a price, so I kept it on my own initiative and sold my jewelry. I didn't expect it to be stolen by him."

The old princess had a cold expression on her face. She knew that He Jinghe had other intentions towards their He family this time.

"You come with me."

Shang Ruoyi followed the old princess to the inner room.

They were the only two in the room.

"You said today that the ring was taken away by Jinghe, is that true?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Absolutely true."

The old princess slammed the table hard and said angrily, "He actually dared!"

"Grandma, what does this ring mean?"

The old princess looked at her and sighed, "There's nothing to say, but this ring is the symbol of Prince Ding. Now that Prince Ding's mansion has been sealed, the ring is of no use. Jing Heng probably just wanted to keep it as a souvenir, but he didn't expect it to be stolen by that beast! I don't know how they raised their child to raise a thief!"

"Grandma, please don't worry. We have reported this to the government. They will definitely help us get the ring back." Shang Ruoyi comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry."

It seems that this ring has extraordinary significance to Prince Ding’s Palace.

But how could He Jingheng let himself pawn such an important ring?

The news of the theft of the He family's ring soon spread to the capital.
