Who put the yellow robe on me?

After what happened all night, the non-stop running around and thinking made him exhausted both physically and mentally. He couldn't help but feel the complexity and exhaustion of the palace.

The men in black drugging, the fire in the Imperial Hospital, the debates in the court, scenes flashed by like a kaleidoscope. He knew very well that these struggles were just the tip of the iceberg of the entire conspiracy.

Just after Jiang Chen returned home, his personal eunuch hurried forward and reported, "Master, the Thirteenth Princess and Miss He from the Prime Minister's Mansion have been waiting in the main hall for a long time."

Jiang Chen ordered his personal eunuch, "Where is Xiao Guangzi? Tell him to come see me quickly."

The young eunuch took the order and left. Jiang Chen walked quickly towards the main hall with a smile.

Thirteenth Princess Jiang Sirou and He Xiaowei were already sitting at the table. When they saw him come in, they immediately stood up.

He Xiaowei's voice was filled with worry: "Your Highness, I heard that you were injured. Is the injury serious?"

Jiang Chen felt warm in his heart and sighed, "Miss He, it's okay. I applied the golden medicine when I came back yesterday. Why did you come so early?"

Jiang Sirou raised a small porcelain bottle in her hand and said, "Here, I'm bringing you some medicine. Sixteenth brother, this is a very powerful medicine from the Western Regions, called 'Nine Yang Guiyuan Paste'. Brother Xiaodan brought it back from the Western Regions for me a while ago."

The "little brother" that Jiang Sirou mentioned is the second son of General Zhong, the head of the military commanders.

General Zhong had two sons, the eldest son was named Zhong Dalu and the younger son was named Zhong Xiaodan.

The two sons learned martial arts since childhood. The eldest son learned sword and the younger son was good at archery. The two sons became familiar with Jiang Sirou since childhood.

Jiang Sirou likes martial arts, so the two sons often teach her martial arts. Most of Jiang Sirou's martial arts skills are taught by the two sons of the Zhong family.

Emperor Liang also liked the two children of the Zhong family very much, so he tacitly approved of the three little kids practicing martial arts together frequently.

"Since it was given to you by your little brother Dan, how can I be loved by so many people? You keep it, I can use the golden wound medicine to heal it." Jiang Chen also heard about Jiang Sirou and the two brothers of the Zhong family, and teased.

Jiang Sirou's pretty face flushed. Sixteenth Brother: "Your wound-breaking medicine is not as effective as this Nine Yang Gui Yuan Paste. This Nine Yang Gui Yuan Paste is said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life."

"The effect of bringing the dead back to life? Let me see it." Jiang Chen reached out and took the small porcelain bottle.

He Xiaowei chuckled and said, "Sister Rou, I'm afraid the Zhong family's brother lied to you about this resurrection effect."

Jiang Chen carefully looked at the medicine in his hand. It was indeed much more advanced than the medicine for wounds, but it was far from having the effect of bringing the dead back to life.

"I have to say, although Miss He is well-educated, she is not as easy to fool as Thirteenth Sister, hahahaha..." Jiang Chen burst into laughter.

The Thirteenth Princess immediately refused and pretended to hit Jiang Chen, but she was also very happy.

"Your Highness, there was a fire in the Imperial Hospital last night. How did you imagine that someone would harm the refugees?"

Jiang Chen said slowly, "Last night, there was a fire in the Imperial Hospital, and I noticed something unusual. The plague medicine was destroyed. If the plague poison gets into the refugees' food, they will be beyond help. So I suspect someone is plotting a bigger conspiracy."

Then he smiled at He Xiaowei and said, "I'm lucky. I made the right bet!"

He Xiaowei sighed softly, "Your Highness must be extremely intelligent to be able to unravel such a complex situation and find the truth."

"Intelligent? I'm afraid not! If it weren't for Lord He's help in the court today, I'm afraid you two would have gone to see me in prison!"

He paused for a moment, then slowly told everything that had happened in the court today.

Including the accusations from the commander of the imperial guards, the questioning from the right vice minister of the Ministry of Rites, the instigation from the ninth prince, and finally the intervention of Prime Minister He.

After listening, He Xiaowei said softly, "In that case, Minister Cheng is being too aggressive."

Jiang Sirou said slowly, "Master Cheng must hate Sixteenth Brother to the core."

The two looked at Jiang Sirou in confusion. Jiang Sirou looked at Jiang Chen and said impatiently, "It's okay if Xiao Wei'er doesn't know, but why are you pretending to be with me?"

"Last year, when the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites was still a scholar-official, if you hadn't ruined my sister, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

"The matter later became quite serious. If it weren't for the Empress Defei's intercession to the Emperor, who gave a large sum of money to the Cheng family, and the Emperor's promise to promote Mr. Cheng from the position of Scholar-official of the Ministry of Rites to the position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, this matter would not be over yet."

Jiang Chen then realized why Cheng Jingde hated him so deeply. It turned out that it was the evil done by his "predecessor".

"Ahem! Hi! I was ignorant when I was young." Jiang Chen smiled awkwardly but politely again.

Although He Xiaowei had heard about Jiang Chen's various romantic affairs in the past, after her contact with the refugees, she felt that Jiang Chen was not as bad as the outside world said. Instead, she felt that he was a good prince who cared about the people.

So he said softly, "Your Highness, you really need to be more careful. The court is full of unpredictable situations. If you are not careful, you will be in danger."

"I told Grandpa what happened today. Grandpa said that the Sixteenth Prince is a good prince who cares about the refugees and doesn't want Daliang to lose a virtuous person like you."

Jiang Chen smiled and said in a frivolous tone, "I'm truly flattered by Prime Minister He's praise."

"However, Lord He thinks I am a good prince. Does Xiao Wei'er also think I am a good prince?"

He Xiaowei's face turned even redder, she lowered her head and said nothing, secretly blaming herself for being so shy.

Jiang Sirou watched the interaction between the two and jokingly said, "Sixteenth brother, I'm telling you, don't set your sights on our Xiao Wei'er, otherwise, hehe!"

After saying that, Jiang Sirou rolled up her sleeves, clenched her fists, and made a gesture to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen quickly held his head and begged for mercy, and the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious!

He Xiaowei also laughed: "Sister Rou, stop teasing me. We should go back to the Hanlin Academy. If the master finds out that I sneaked out this time, I'm afraid I'll be punished again."

Jiang Sirou stood up extremely reluctantly: "Okay, although I really don't want to go back..."

Then he said to Jiang Chen, "I went to the refugee camp outside the city this morning and checked. Everyone is in a stable condition and there are no problems for the time being."

"Let's go to the academy first. If anything happens, send someone to send me."

He Xiaowei blushed and said to Jiang Chen, "Your Highness, remember to apply the medicine on time."

Seeing this, Jiang Sirou said, "Okay, Xiao Wei'er, don't be reluctant to leave anymore. If you don't leave, the master will punish us again."

He Xiaowei's face turned even redder when she saw Jiang Sirou teasing her again.

As soon as the two of them left Ningbo Palace, a young eunuch came to announce, "Master! Master! The chief of the imperial palace guards, Dianzhang, wants to see you!"

Jiang Chen sighed, it would be great if he could split himself!

"Got it. Please invite Guard Dian to the main hall! Oh, and where's Xiao Guangzi? Why hasn't he come yet?"

"Master, Xiao Guangzi is not in his room. I heard from Xiao Anzi, who lives in the same room with him, that Xiao Guangzi disappeared after you went to Ningbo Palace last night and has not returned yet!"

"What!?" Jiang Chen felt a chill down his spine.
