The prince is sick: the doctor waits for the prince

Chapter 223

Although it was only a few days, Shuxiang's hands were almost healed, and there would be no pain when squeezed gently, but Sigui Yaoqin still couldn't be touched.

Scholar would occasionally summon musicians to play music in the afternoon, but Cheng Zijiang was not in the East Palace most of the time, because he had a lot of political affairs to deal with.The emperor is getting older, and many things have been handed over to Zijiang, but it has also caused dissatisfaction among many people.

The leader is the third prince Cheng Ziyan's faction, and of course there are neutral ones, such as the Ruan family.

Mu Yu wondered if he should visit the palace now that the prince is back.

At this stall, he heard his mother, Mrs. Mu, tell such a story, saying that the empress used secret torture on the palace people, or she heard it when she came out of the palace.

Mrs. Mu may not understand that this secret torture is used to punish those people, it's not just ordinary palace people using secret torture casually.

Mu Yu felt it was very strange. When she entered the palace, she saw Cheng Zijin and hurriedly took someone to the Department of Punishment for questioning.

I don't know if the crown prince knew or not, but Mu Yu thought about how distressed Cheng Zijiang would be when he found out, and wanted to reconfirm for a moment whether his guess was correct.

Mu Yu, who has always kept her word, has always acted vigorously and decisively. When she knocked on the door of the East Palace, she went straight to the place where Shuxiang was, "Sister-in-law!"

At this moment, Shuxiang is touching the strings of Sigui, thinking whether she should play it secretly, even for a while, because she really hasn't touched Sigui for a long time, she is really a little unfamiliar.

He was taken aback by Mu Yu's call.

"What's the matter?" Shuxiang withdrew her hand, still in shock, like a child who was found out doing something bad secretly, but pretended to be old-fashioned, "Why do you think of coming to see me today?"

Mu Yu frowned, and straight to the point, he never liked to play around with things, that's why he couldn't catch Ruan Xin after chasing him for so long.

Because he is either direct when he should be shy, or shy when he should be direct, so Mu Yu's character is really awkward.

"Sister-in-law, let me ask you, did the empress use secret torture?" The question was so blunt without any modifiers.

Shuxiang paused, not knowing how to answer, so she pretended to be stupid and asked back: "What do you mean?"

Mu Yu sighed, very helpless, but tried her best to speak clearly, "Mother told me about this not long ago, but she didn't say it was you, until I met Sister Huang..."

The meaning behind the words is ready to come out, and it is not necessary for Mu Yu to continue talking about the fragrance of books to guess what happened next.

Shuxiang closed her eyes and sighed silently. Before she had time to sigh, Mu Yu continued to question her: "Sister-in-law Huang, tell me the truth, is it true?"

The words have come to this point, it will be useless to say any more, it is better to admit it calmly, the scholar is silent, and said: "It is true."

She pursed her lips embarrassingly, and promptly warned Mu Yu, "Don't tell Zijiang."

But she didn't know that many things would spread more and more, and if she told one person, the other would know. Even if Mu Yu couldn't tell, there was another possibility that the walls have ears, which is unknown yet.

However, Shuxiang has no scruples. After all, she is still not used to the intrigues of the harem.

"Why?" Mu Yu is obviously still a young man who has not experienced much in the world, and there are many things that he doesn't understand.

But he didn't wait for Shuxiang to explain why he couldn't say it, but he waited for Cheng Zijiang who had been standing at the door for a while to answer: "Scholar, how long did you want to hide from me?"

Heartbroken, containing countless distress and helplessness.
