The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 109

During lunch, Concubine Duan took the time to come back to see how Yun Ruochen was in spirit.

Knowing that Yun Ruochen hadn't left the room since he woke up, Concubine Duan Gui couldn't help feeling a little worried.After all, Yun Ruochen fainted twice in a row yesterday, and even the imperial physician said her pulse was extremely weak.Even after the Emperor returned to the palace after the Great Court Meeting, he specially sent someone to inquire about Yun Ruochen's situation.

"Chen'er, don't you have any appetite?"

As soon as Concubine Duan entered the door, she happened to see the little eunuchs clearing away Yun Ruochen's lunch table, and at a glance, she saw that the food on the table had only moved a few chopsticks.You know, usually Yun Ruochen has a good appetite, and he also eats a lot of small snacks besides the main meal.

It's not good to eat almost nothing today!
With a pale face, Yun Ruochen was supported by Xia Hong to salute Concubine Duan Gui.

"You're not in good health, don't worry about these vain rituals. Can you take the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor?"

"Take the medicine. You don't have to worry, Madam, it's just that Chen'er doesn't feel hungry, so I took two bites less..."

"Eat even if you're not hungry." Concubine Duan Gui frowned, and said to Xia Hong sideways: "You are too, the princess is sick, and it's time to ask the imperial dining room to make some light porridge to adjust your appetite. What? Or is it as greasy as usual?"

Xia Hong and Qiu Rong hurriedly leaned over and pleaded guilty.Yun Ruochen raised his hand to stop their movements, forced a smile and said, "Ma'am, they just want me to eat something to increase strength."

Concubine Duan Gui didn't waste time discussing too many trifles with her, she sent the servants out after two or three sentences, and ordered the inner door to be closed first.

She hesitated for a while, and then said to Yun Ruochen in a low voice: "Chen'er, I know you are a girl with ideas."

Yun Ruochen was affected by Concubine Duan Gui's suddenly solemn expression, and also restrained her smile, straightened her waist and looked directly into Concubine Duan Gui's eyes.

Seeing Concubine Duan like this, she probably wanted to discuss something serious with herself.

Concubine Duan and her were quite close in the past, but the relationship between the two of them is just like that of grandparents, it's just that the elders often show concern for the younger generation, and the younger generation also respects the elders, and there is more sincerity besides observance of etiquette.

After all, Concubine Duan Gui has fifty people, and it is too unrealistic for her to have any in-depth communication with Yun Ruochen, a nine-year-old girl.

However, after some incidents yesterday, Concubine Duan Gui began to re-examine Yun Ruochen—whether it was Yun Ruochen's mind, her status in the eyes of the emperor, or her importance to the prince's family, Concubine Duan Gui carefully thought about it. Pass.

Today, Concubine Duan has long regarded herself as a member of the "princeling".The bizarre turning point in the timing of Chen Concubine's miscarriage made Concubine Duan Gui, who had experienced many battles in the palace, also keenly aware of the crisis of the prince's family.

Since she has invested in the prince, she naturally cannot sit back and watch the prince's succession change.But she also understood that although she had some influence in the palace, her influence in front of the emperor was extremely limited.

But Yun Ruochen is different——

For so many years, Concubine Duan Gui has never seen the emperor cherish someone so much...Concubines, princes, princesses, there are not many people in this palace who can get close to the emperor, but who can really impress the emperor like Yun Ruochen?

The prince was punished to kneel in front of the Jingxin Hall, and Yun Ruochen went over and begged the emperor to let him go.Not to mention that Yun Ruochen kowtowed too bitterly, Concubine Duan Gui had seen a hundred times more bitterness than her expression.

More than ten years ago, a concubine was framed, saying that she condoned the eunuchs and maids in her palace to commit adultery with food, and a lot of obscene objects were also found.The concubine cried bitterly in front of the saint, saying that this must be framed by others, that such things would never happen in her palace, and in order to preserve her reputation, she even bumped her head against the huge pillar in front of the palace and died on the spot.

And what about the emperor?He didn't even look at the concubine's dead body, and just said "burn it", disregarding any kindness.

But Yun Ruochen only kowtowed a few times, the emperor hastily asked someone to stop him, not only immediately promised her not to punish the prince, but also sent several groups of people from last night to today to ask Yun Ruochen if it was better .

Concubine Duan Gui realized that if she wanted to help the prince to stabilize his position as the heir, she still wanted the little princess to work hard for the emperor.

"Chen'er, you probably don't know yet. Just now at the Great Court Meeting... What happened in the palace yesterday was spread among all the officials and nobles."

What Duan Guifei said, Yun Ruochen also expected.But listening to it now, she still slowly raised her eyebrows.

Things are moving fast.

Concubine Duan told her the news that Concubine Chen, Imperial Physician Zhu and two court ladies had died.Then, Concubine Duan Gui paused, and then said: "Chen'er, the prince's situation is not very good now."

"Your Majesty, Chen'er understands!"

Yun Ruochen nodded vigorously, and took Concubine Duan's hand: "Madam, Chen'er understands what you mean. Although Chen'er is blunt, the gentlemen have taught me the principle of how to destroy gold and destroy bones. Hu, Zeng Shen killed people... Sigh."

Concubine Duan Gui was stunned, she didn't expect Yun Ruochen to say such calm and precocious words.After a while, she also sighed and said, "Yes, Zeng Shen killed people, that's true."

Confucius had a student named Zeng Shen.And in his hometown Feiyi, there is also a man named "Zeng Shen" with the same name and surname as him.One day this "Zeng Shen" killed someone in a foreign country, and soon rumors spread in the countryside that Confucius, a student, was the murderer.

The first person to report the situation to Zeng Zi's mother was a neighbor of Zeng's family. That person did not see the murderer with his own eyes.After the incident, he learned from an eyewitness that the murderer's name was Zeng Shen.When the neighbor told Zeng Zi's mother the news that "Zeng Shen killed a man", it did not elicit the expected reaction.It was this son that Zeng Zi's mother had always been proud of.He is a good student of the Confucian sage Confucius, so how could he do things that hurt nature and reason?Zeng Mu was neither surprised nor worried when she heard what her neighbor said.While weaving the cloth in a calm and orderly manner, she said firmly to the neighbor: "My son will not kill people."

Not long after, another person came to Zeng Zi's mother and said, "Zeng Shen really killed someone outside." Zeng Zi's mother still ignored this sentence.She still sat there and shuttled the thread leisurely, weaving her own cloth as usual.

After a while, the third reporter came to Zengmu and said, "Now there is a lot of discussion outside. Everyone says that Zeng Shen did kill someone." When Zengmu heard this, she suddenly became nervous.She was afraid that such a life-and-death matter would implicate her relatives, so she didn't bother to inquire about her son's whereabouts, and hurriedly threw away the shuttle in her hand, closed the courtyard door tightly, picked up the ladder, and escaped from a secluded place over the wall.

In the face of successive rumors, the biological mother could not persevere in her son's trust to the end.What about the world?

Now the enemy lurking in the dark is probably doing the same thing.Spreading the news of the suspected "adultery" between the prince and Concubine Chen out of the palace so quickly, and desperately discrediting the prince, is it any different from "Zeng Shen killing people"?
The crown prince's reputation is bad, although his position as the heir will not be shaken immediately, but will the other party stop at this trick?
"Chen'er, since you are so sensible, that's fine."

Concubine Duan Gui said: "The emperor naturally trusts the crown prince, but that damned doctor Zhu...it's okay, even though that man is dead, no one will take his nonsense seriously."

Yun Ruochen sneered when he heard that, nonsense is nonsense, it doesn't matter if no one takes it seriously.As for the emperor's trust in the prince?Not at all.

But she could understand that this was Duan Guifei implying that she would let the remaining palace people who were locked up to prove the "innocence" of Concubine Chen and the crown prince.

"You don't need to worry about other things. These days, take care of your body, don't be busy going to school for the time being, and spend more time talking with the emperor. Don't let those villains with ulterior motives disturb the emperor's peace!"

After laying the groundwork so much, Concubine Duan finally got to the point.Yun Ruochen complied without hesitation, in fact, if Concubine Duan Gui didn't explain, she would do the same.However, she can also capture Concubine Duan Gui's heart - Concubine Duan Gui is showing her favor to the prince again through her.

However, Concubine Duan Gui said "you don't have to worry about other things", but Yun Ruochen couldn't really ignore it.

She not only has to manage, but also to investigate!
Yun Ruochen clasped his hands, his left hand caressing the jasper ring on the index finger of his right hand.

She had to find a way to use this foundation of Imperial Physician Zhu!

From the point of view of Concubine Duan Gui, it is normal for her to ask the palace servants to testify to clear the suspicion of the Crown Prince and Concubine Chen.

But Yun Ruochen wanted to solve this matter from another way, so that the emperor and all the officials could see clearly that this matter was a conspiracy from beginning to end!
The most fundamental way is to dig out the black vortex hidden behind Zhu Taiyi!
Two days later, Yun Ruochen exhausted all the connections she had managed in the palace for the past six months, and finally got some things left by Imperial Physician Zhu.

The clothes he wore when he died in the inner prison, a set of acupuncture equipment left in the imperial hospital, and two medical books he used.

Most of Dr. Zhu's belongings were confiscated.Only these few fish that slipped through the net fell into Yun Ruochen's hands, but Yun Ruochen was very disappointed.

From these things, she also couldn't detect any evil spirits.

She is not in good health now, but with the help of the aura of the jasper ring, it is still possible to reveal some evil spirits that are usually difficult to detect.

But why is everything normal?
"Are my assumptions wrong? Imperial physician Zhu has nothing to do with the Destiny Sect, is it my imagination?"

Yun Ruochen smiled wryly, and withdrew the aura in the ring from the two medical books written by Imperial Physician Zhu.

She had been in contact with Bai Ruifang of the Destiny Cult, and she remembered very clearly the special evil spirit possessed by the Destiny Cultists.

At the beginning, she relied on the detection of evil spirits, and determined from the four female officials that Bai Ruifang was a cultist of the Destiny Sect.

However, there is no strange smell in the things of the imperial doctor Zhu.

"hateful!"

She was a little discouraged, flipping through the two medical books.No matter how you look at it, it's a very common medical book... Alas...

Huh?
Her gaze stayed on a certain page, and suspicion gradually gathered in her eyes.

This page is weird!
