Chapter 160
"How is it? Is everything cleaned up?"

Li Shichang asked Shen Ruo seriously when he came out of the shower and changed clothes again.

"Don't worry, I promise there will be no residue."

Her hair was still wet, and Hongyu was wiping her hair with a large dry white cloth.

Qiao Ran and Nanny Qin were still outside, looking for someone to use quicklime to disinfect everywhere, Liu Chengfeng rubbed his chin, and asked: "Miss Qiao, it's obvious that someone deliberately messed up this incident, but who have you offended before? "

There are many people she offended.

She was silent for a while, and Li Shichang spoke up, "Could it be those doctors who came here a few days ago?"

Shen Ruo hesitated: "No way? I have a plaque from the prince, are they really so bold?"

"Maybe it's because you belong to the prince that they want to target you even more? Don't forget, whose people are they?" Li Shichang sneered.

Seeing the two of them playing charades, Liu Chengfeng was even more puzzled: "Who are you talking about? Who is so courageous to target the prince and King Jing's protection?"

Li Shichang looked at him speechlessly: "You are lucky to be a candidate who came to rush for the exam. You don't even understand the power and situation in the capital, and sooner or later something will happen."

Liu Chengfeng didn't mind his sarcasm either, he cupped his hands and said, "I hope Brother Li will enlighten me."

Li Shichang hummed twice, and introduced: "Now there are two major forces in Beijing, one faction is naturally the Prince's family, and the other is the Second Prince's family."

"Although the second prince's mother and concubine were born in a poor family, they are quite favored by the emperor. In the early years, Concubine Lin's father, General Lin, also made a lot of contributions and won the trust of the emperor."

"In this way, the members of the Lin family have achieved Taoism and ascended to heaven alone. Relying on the big tree with their backs, they have placed many members of the Lin family into the government. They have all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants. The thugs collect people's fat and people's cream everywhere, and call it protection money."

After hearing this, Liu Chengfeng was furious: "The Lin family is so presumptuous, no one cares?"

But Li Shichang just smiled coldly and didn't speak, leaving Liu Chengfeng alone in indignation.

Shen Ruo next to him understood in his heart that imperial power has been a way of checks and balances since ancient times. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he suffered a lot of losses from aristocratic families. Now that he is in power, he naturally needs another force to contend with him.

I just don't know if such a partial believer will one day feed tigers into trouble?
But these are not things she should worry about, Hongyu had already dried her hair, and it was still slightly damp, so she didn't tie it up, just let it loose, and put on a veiled hat.

However, because of the previous incident, no one came to see the doctor. She sat empty in the consulting room all afternoon, and was about to leave work early, so she opened the curtain and walked in.

She was slightly surprised: "Why are you here?"

He was also wearing a dark purple embroidered python court dress, which was meticulous, making him taller and slender with an extraordinary imposing manner.

He was dressed in dust and dust, and he came here in a hurry after he was obviously busy with business.

"I heard that someone came to your place to make trouble, so I naturally want to come and have a look in person."

He stared straight at her with a pair of deep eyes, as if he was confirming her situation with his own eyes.

Shen Ruo was amused in his heart, and after a little guessing, he knew that this guy Li Shichang must have informed him. He picked up the teapot, poured him a cup of herbal tea, and said softly, "Don't worry, it's just a small matter, and it has been settled long ago."

"You've been so busy recently, so don't worry about this little thing."

Even after hearing what she said, Xiao Chen's face still didn't change for the better: "Why didn't you ask someone to come to me?"

I heard that the people who came to make trouble brought the corpse of an unidentified woman who had syphilis. What if there was a conflict and they were infected?
When he learned of this matter, even though Li Shichang said that the matter had been resolved, he still hurried over worried.

Shen Ruo pursed her lips, and said softly: "You are busy after all, I don't want to trouble you all the time, besides, we..."

Xiao Chen answered immediately: "You can trouble me, I don't mind."

However, Shen Ruo remained silent. The way she looked at him seemed to say that he was like this, which made her very distressed.

"..."

For some reason, Xiao Chen felt a sudden pain in his heart, but soon he realized that it was not his illusion: "Uh—"

He suddenly groaned, clutching his chest, and knelt on the ground on one knee.

Shen Ruo was stunned for a moment, and immediately stepped forward to support him: "What's wrong with you? Why do you have chest pain again when you're doing well?"

However, Xiao Chen pushed her away, the corners of his mouth clenched, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead: "Don't come here!"

When she gets close, he will feel strange emotions, and his heart will hurt even more.

Shen Ruo didn't know this, and being rejected by him, she could only watch him in unbearable pain, but she was powerless, which made her feel like a knife was piercing her heart.

I don't know how long it took before the severe pain gradually subsided. Xiao Chen put one hand on the ground and wanted to stand up, but his figure was a little staggered.

Shen Ruo subconsciously wanted to help, but was rejected by Xiao Chen again: "No need, I can do it myself."

He supported the wall and stood up, calmed his breath, and said in a low voice: "Since I see that you are fine, then I will leave first. If there is any problem in the future, let Li Shi often come to me."

He paused, and added, "After all, Lin'er is with you, and he likes you so much. If something happens to you, you will be in trouble."

Before Shen Ruo could reply, he forced himself to stabilize his figure and left.

But Shen Ruo looked at his back, stretched out his hand, but took it back.

……

The next morning, when everyone was having breakfast together, Li Shichang suddenly mentioned: "Feng Xi came to tell me this morning that the person who made trouble yesterday 'suicide' at home."

"Suicide?" Liu Chengfeng was startled, "That kind of person doesn't look like someone who would commit suicide."

Li Shichang ate the steamed stuffed bun and smiled: "Probably the people behind him don't want us to find out anything. I guess this trouble is probably just the result of low-level people pretending to be clever."

"After that, they should not dare to trouble us again."

"Really?" Qiao Ran's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest, "That's good! If you come again two times, this business can't be done."

Li Shi often laughed at him: "Don't you often say that this is a money-losing business, don't you worry if you close the door early?"

Qiao Ran glared at him: "How can you take it seriously when you usually complain? People rely on our pharmacy to live a good life. This is all about doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. Maybe they will be able to vote for a good pregnancy in the next life."

Shen Ruo glanced at him twice, he is a prince of Nanyue Kingdom, how can he have a good pregnancy?
But she just complained a few words in her heart, remembering that the man who "suicided" also followed orders, but ended up in a terrible situation. Sure enough, the water in the power struggle is too deep, and it is better to stay away from it.

Suddenly, she lowered her head again and asked her son, "Qi'er, do you want to go back to the palace today?"
