After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

At that moment, some were interested, some were contemptuous, and some were curious.

But no one said anything to make things difficult.

After all, Gong Bin is very popular now, and no one knows whether His Majesty's interest in him is a sudden one or he has long-term plans.

It’s not too late to express your position once your attitude becomes clear.

Most of the people sitting here are colleagues with whom I will work in the future.

Yuan Qing stood up gently and asked in confusion, "I was also released from prison today. I have never met you before. How did you know about what happened this morning?"

The man smiled heartily, "Brother, you don't know that your story has spread all over the capital."

He avoided the main point and spoke in a rather euphemistic and vague manner.

In fact, long before Yuan Qing came to Beijing, Shang Zhe had secretly spread Gong Bin's reputation for talent and portrayed him as a perfect talented man.

Many people in the surrounding counties and cities, including the capital, were curious about him.

But after the cheating incident broke out, stories about Gong Bin's bad character popped up one after another like mushrooms after rain.

The more I admired him before, the more I hated him later.

If it weren't for Yuan Bo and Wen Chengyu's suppression, the prison door of the Ministry of Justice would have been smashed open by rotten eggs long ago.

"I see." Yuan Qing smiled embarrassedly.

She stood up straight, took a step back, and bowed to everyone, "I am Gong Bin from Pingjin Prefecture. I have just arrived in the capital. If there is anything inappropriate, please give me some advice."

The young man lowered his brows and looked unconcerned, without a trace of arrogance.

Unlike Shang Zhe's pretentious attitude, his just-right humility actually makes people feel good about him.

The man looked up at her and returned the greeting, "Kong Yu, from Yuzhou."

[Please help me check this person.]

Roudun'er scrolled through the screen and quickly retrieved the character's information based on the name and appearance.

[Yes, he is Mr. Gu’s grandson. His original surname was Gu, but Mr. Gu did not want him to get involved in the government, so Gu Yu secretly changed his surname to his mother’s.

He settled in Yuzhou seven years ago. This year he passed the Yuzhou exam. In his previous life, he was beaten to death by a mob when he was 21 years old and served as the magistrate of Taidi.

Yuan Qing thought of the old gentleman from the Gong family who was always dressed in cloth. Although they had only been teacher and student for half a year, every word the old gentleman said touched her deeply.

It was no secret that Mr. Gu taught in the Gong family, so it was not surprising that Gu Yu knew it.

No wonder he was kind to her, it turned out he was a member of the Gu family.

Yuan Qing nodded, "Then I will dare to call you Brother Kong."

Kong Yu nodded, "My dear brother."

Shang Zhe was unhappy and snorted coldly.

The people around immediately quieted down and looked at Shang Zhe who had an angry face.

Only then did he realize that he had revealed his true thoughts in front of others and he was panicked for a moment.

Shang Rou stood up and helped him up, "Brother must be a little tired today, why don't you go home and rest first."

The opportunity given by the master cannot be wasted. Shang Zhe calmed himself down and said, "It's okay, I just have a headache. I'll just sit down and rest for a while."

After hearing this, Shang Rou stopped admonishing him.

Today they came here specifically to meet the noble person, so naturally they couldn't miss this rare opportunity.

Yuan Qing turned around and asked with concern, "Why did Brother Shang suddenly have a headache?"

Shang Zhe frowned even more tightly and kept pressing his forehead with his fingers.

But the voice next to him kept ringing in his ears like a spell: "Do you need to see a doctor? Is there a clinic nearby?"

The worry in his eyes didn't seem fake, Yuan Qing played the role of the deep love between brothers to the fullest.

Shang Zhe's head hurt even more, and even a slight buzzing sound appeared in his ears, making his brain ache.

Someone nearby said, "There is a clinic not far to the east. Headaches are a serious problem and we cannot delay."

"You are sick!" Shang Zhe suddenly yelled angrily.

The man was shocked, and then he threw his sleeves in anger, saying coldly: "Humph, your kindness is taken for granted, and I am meddling in other people's business."

Shang Zhe opened his eyes, but the frequent pain made it impossible for him to think calmly.

Shang Rou was also anxious. How could such a thing happen out of the blue?

Mu Xiaoxiao approached Yuan Qing and wrote the reason on her back: [Poison]

Was he poisoned?

Mu Xiaoxiao continued to write: [One year]

Yuan Qing subconsciously looked at Shang Rou who looked anxious.

At this moment, she was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and her words of concern touched the hearts of many people present, and they all praised her.

If his guess was true, Shang Zhe would never have imagined that what he was protecting was a carnivorous plant that was poisonous to the bone.

Yuan Qing wanted to step forward, but was pushed to the ground by Shang Rou.

With tears in her beautiful eyes, she begged, "I beg you, please go away, don't stay here, aren't all these years enough?"

Shang Zhe was no longer conscious and could only half lie in Shang Rou's arms, groaning in pain.

At this critical moment, no one deliberately used the strict separation between men and women to criticize anything.

"I don't mean anything else. I just want to take Brother Shang to see a doctor." Yuan Qing stood up with the help of Mu Xiaoxiao. "I know you and your sister have a deep misunderstanding of me. No matter what the grudge is, the most important thing is to make him get better first."

The people around also reacted.

Yes, since you are worried about your brother's condition, why don't you send him to the clinic immediately? Instead, you are just concerned about him. When human life is at stake, why do you still care about past grudges? This doesn't make sense.

Shang Rou bit her lip, her pretty face hidden under the veil looking gloomy.

Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, and she will detoxify Shang Zhe.

Otherwise, all the plans today will be in vain.

Just as Shang Rou was thinking of a solution, Shang Rui hurried upstairs, with a little maid behind her pulling a white-bearded doctor.

"Everyone please move aside, the doctor is here!"

Shang Rui took off her veil, her hair was disheveled, and there was a lot of mud on the hem of her skirt.

She pulled the doctor to the front and helped him open the medicine box, "Quick, save him!"

The old doctor reached out his hand, but accidentally touched Shang Rou's protective hand.

He hastily withdrew and asked, "This girl?"

Shang Rou could only withdraw her hand. Things had come to this point and there was no point in her trying to stop him.

The old doctor felt the patient's pulse and then picked up a silver needle and inserted it into the acupuncture points.

There were many people watching, blocking out a lot of light. He eased his grip, looked up and ordered, "There are too many people here."

Upon hearing this, everyone pushed each other and made way for an open space.

Shang Rui narrowed his eyes and followed the old doctor's hand as he inserted the needle.

The sleeve couldn't bear the weight and was torn by her nails.

Without saying a word, she completely outshined her other sister silently.

The contrast revealed Shang Rou's ulterior motives, and the eyes that looked at her around her no longer had the same amazement as when they first met.

Such a vicious beauty can even disregard the safety of her own brother. If you get involved with her in the future, how many more lives will you have to lose before you can enjoy her kindness?

The old doctor took the needle and said to everyone, "The patient is fine for now. I will go back to the clinic and prescribe a prescription to remove the poison. Just drink it for a few days and it will be fine."
