Duanmu Xinmiao interrupted her again and said, "I don't dare to admit what Queen Heng said. You'd better tell me about it so that I can know whether it is difficult or easy."
Liu Ruoyu nodded and said, "I want to take this medicine, but I don't want to be discovered."
"This is..." Duanmu Xinmiao took the medicine bottle she handed him every few seconds. As soon as he opened it, he recognized it, "Shen Ming Powder? Do you want to pretend to be sick?"
Liu Ruoyu didn't hide anything and sighed softly: "I heard that my stepmother is very ill and even moved to Gyeonggi. As a daughter, I should go and have a look."
"Do you want to go to another courtyard to fight to the death with Liu Ruoye's mother and daughter?" Duanmu Xinmiao shook his head and said, "Actually, why is this necessary? Although I don't know the specific details, I also know that your father loves them very much. , If it is not possible to retain them, they will not be sent away easily. Now the future of these two people is slim. If you are your queen and wait to see what happens to them, your hands will be cleaner. "
Liu Ruoyu smiled brightly at her and said, "Sister Duanmu and Miss Song advised me the same way. They both have good intentions. It's just that my sister doesn't know that my biological mother..." After a pause, she saw Duanmu Xinmiao was startled, and then she looked astonished. Then he continued, "So it's impossible for me not to go. If I don't go this time, I won't be able to let it go in this life."
Duanmu Xinmiao muttered: "I understand what you mean."
"Will sister Duanmu be willing to help me this time?" Liu Ruoyu's eyelashes trembled slightly and she whispered.
Duanmu Xinmiao did not answer immediately, but thought for a long time before saying: "You know my rules. Although my medical skills are not as good as those of my master, my medical qualifications are almost always higher than those of my master. This is because my expenses are higher than those of my master." There are a lot more, and it’s not like the Wei family’s continuous supply of medicinal materials.”
Liu Ruoyu said thoughtfully: "There is no problem with medical funding, but if I give it to you now, I'm afraid it will leave traces."
"But I won't accept money this time." Duanmu Xinmiao's eyes changed, and to Liu Ruoyu's surprise, he shook his head and said, "Although my mother was not poisoned by anyone, her death at a young age was also related to my concubine's rudeness. . You and I are in the same boat. I will help you without any reward this time, but if you fail, don’t mention me.”
Liu Ruoyu solemnly said: "Sister Duanmu, please don't worry. The reason why I tried to get Miss Song to come and invite you is because even Miss Song was surprised that I would find her to pull the strings. Of course, no one will know what happened today. I will never admit it!"
Duanmu Xinmiao looked at the porcelain vase in his hand and said slowly: "There is a tamarisk tree in the southeast corner of Chuncao Lake. It looks a little different from the nearby willow tree. It almost reaches the entire surface of the lake. Under the willow tree There is a hole, not big, but it’s enough to hold three or five bottles of medicine.”
"Thank you sister." Liu Ruoyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully.
"Let's go again in three days." Duanmu Xinmiao put the medicine bottle into his sleeve and said.
Three days later, Liu Ruoyu ordered Ju Zhong to go, and sure enough he brought back five bottles of medicinal powder.
A famous teacher has only been a disciple for three days. If Liu Ruoyu hadn't believed that Duanmu Xinmiao would not deceive her, she would never have thought that the medicine in the medicine bottle, which was similar in color and smell to jasmine pollen, was Shen Bian Powder.
She carefully put the medicine back into her arms and showed a comfortable smile: "After I went to report to my mother, my mother is sick. As a daughter, how can I not go and visit her?"
When Ju Zhong heard this, he trembled slightly. After thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, the Queen's health has not been very good these days..."
"But if I go into the palace to serve the Queen Mother, I'm afraid the Queen Mother will never get well." Liu Ruoyu said lightly, "Although the Queen Mother looks young, she is an old person after all. What if it's because I'm here? The queen mother was so angry that she fell ill, and she said that I, His Highness Prince Heng, and even His Highness Princess Qingxin had nothing to rely on!"
"...Yes." Ju Zhong didn't know what his master was thinking. In order to survive, Liu Ruoyu had already defiled herself in front of the queen, saying frankly that she had an affair with Wei Xinyong. If Queen Gu hadn't known the basics, she would have strangled to death this slutty daughter-in-law who dared to betray her son.
Now Shen Xun has moved to the crown prince position and moved from the East Palace where he had lived for more than ten years to the hastily packed Prince Heng's Mansion. Liu Ruoyu has also been demoted from Crown Princess to Queen Heng... Queen Gu was caught by Concubine Deng because of her concealment from the Holy Emperor. Instigating, he was scolded by the Holy One in private. In anger, the Holy One even slapped the Queen hard on his face...
Queen Gu said that because she was worried about Shen Xun's condition, she fell ill for several days and could not get up to see things. In fact, it's not just because the palm marks left after being slapped on the face by the Holy One have not disappeared, and he has no face to show his face.
If it weren't for the fear that Liu Ruoyu would die at this eye joint, it would trigger discussions and bring up Wei Changjuan's scandal. Queen Gu would have ordered Liu Ruoyu's death the moment Shen Xun resigned.
In fact, Zhang Shaoguang, Liu Ruoye, and Liu Ruoyu, mother and daughter, are already dead in the eyes of the royal family.
The reason why I didn't kill him for the time being was simply to wait for the news of the sudden death of Miss Wei's seventh daughter to pass. Lest a series of deaths in the family and royal family cause people to think things together and cause rumors.
Even Ju Zhong knew that he would not be able to serve Liu Ruoyu for long. Not only is Liu Ruoyu dying, but he can't escape either.
But Ju Zhong also knew that he was the most humble servant in the East Palace. If Liu Ruoyu hadn't promoted him, he might still be living well now, but he might not be displeased by any nobleman in the blink of an eye and drag him to death to vent his anger. As a slave, life and death cannot be controlled by one's own hands, but Liu Ruoyu's confidant can still live a few days of dignity.
But now it's just waiting to die.
Ju Zhong had arranged everything for his funeral.
But I didn't expect that after all this time, Liu Ruoyu would still provoke the queen...
He entered the palace with worries and trepidation. As expected, he was stopped in front of the Changle Hall by the palace guards: "The Queen has been tired for the past two days and does not want to see outsiders. What do you want?"
"My queen heard that Mrs. Zhang was seriously ill and was very anxious. She wanted to visit the other palace in Gyeonggi Province, so she sent me to ask the queen for permission." Ju Zhong recognized that this palace man was a confidant of the queen, so he did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly shook the dust , said cautiously.
The palace man glanced at him and said calmly: "You wait, I will go in and ask aunt."
In the palace, after waiting for Queen Gu to drink the soothing decoction and go to sleep, An walked out of the palace and heard the palace attendants talk about this. Her thin eyebrows immediately frowned tightly.
After a while, he said: "She made our mother very angry, and now she wants to seek revenge from the Zhang family and her daughter? The Zhang family and her daughter are hateful, but she can't be proud either!"
The palace servant said: "Then the maid goes to send Ju Zhong away and says that the empress does not agree?"
"Wait a minute." Anshi thought for a moment and then said, "It seems that several families in the gentry know that Zhang is harsh on Liu Ruoyu?"
The palace man thought for a while and said: "Everyone seems to know it. Especially after Queen Heng married our Highness, her attitude towards her mother's family was very strange. Almost all the private speculations in the past have been confirmed."
"Then let her go." An said with a sneer, "Isn't she unwilling not to see the fate of the Zhang family and her daughter? The Zhang family and her daughter might also be trying to fight her! If it weren't for the fear that the matter would be exposed Come out, our queen will kill these three slaves long ago!"
The palace man said: "If they cause big trouble..."
"That's also the Liu family's business!" An said coldly, "Our mother-in-law is so considerate of her daughter-in-law that she didn't even ask Queen Heng to serve her when she was tired and sick. Instead, she let her go to the Gyeonggi Villa to visit her stepmother! As a result, they The mother and daughter were strangled to death. Even if someone died, it would be a disgrace to the Liu family! It doesn’t depend on the royal family at all. It is natural for us, the royal family, to give up or die! "
An squinted her eyes and murmured, "If this is the case, it would be less troublesome if these three people died earlier, and it would have nothing to do with what happened to the master of the Wei family..."
The palace man understood and said, "My servant, go and tell me now."
... Ju Zhong was a little confused and returned to Prince Heng's Mansion with Queen Gu's permission for Liu Ruoyu to visit Zhang Shaoguang. He originally thought that this trip was not to mention allowed, and it would be good if he was not beaten to death by the Queen or kicked out of Changle Hall. Who would have thought that although the messenger blocked his visit to the queen and his attitude was much colder than before, the rest remained unchanged at all. He didn't ask him to wait long before he came out and told him that the queen had granted Liu Ruoyu's request.
Liu Ruoyu made the queen so angry, why did the queen agree to the request of this unfaithful daughter-in-law
Ju Zhong muttered in his heart and reported the whole story to Liu Ruoyu.
Liu Ruoyu listened while laughing. After listening, she nodded slightly and said, "In that case, let's pack some necessary things and go there. Remember, I must bring everything I use daily, and bring a few extra copies."
While Ju Zhong agreed, he asked cautiously: "Do you want to speak to His Highness when your Majesty leaves?"
"What are you telling your Highness?" Liu Ruoyu asked with a slight smile, "Your Highness, aren't there Concubines Gu and Qian Ruzi who are taking good care of you? There are also many beauties, are you still afraid that they will not serve His Highness Prince Heng wholeheartedly? "
Before Ju Zhong could speak, Liu Ruoyu said again, "Since you are worried, it doesn't matter if I give them a word before I leave."
After a while, Gu Meimei and Qian Moer were summoned to Liu Ruoyu.
Although this concubine and her son were like the many beauties that had come to the East Palace over the years, none of them could completely win over Shen Xun's heart. But when it comes to pampering, everyone is much better than Liu Ruoyu, because at least they all had a period of being extremely pampered, and it can be said that they got wind and rain when they wanted.
Because of this, they almost all despised Liu Ruoyu, the former princess.
It's just that since several concubines who were once favored fell out of favor and were dragged to the main hall by Liu Ruoyu in front of them, and were beaten to death without even bothering to ask a question, the concubines of the East Palace became much more well-behaved.
No matter how unfavored the head wife is, she will always be the head wife, and her status will be placed here. Even if Shen Xun never enters her inner chamber, as long as they don't divorce, Concubine Ji's life will be in her hands.
As for Concubine Ji, unless she can guarantee that she will not be disappointed in her life, it would be better for her to serve Liu Ruoyu.
Who said that once Shen Xun got tired of a concubine, it would be almost impossible to rekindle the old relationship
After all, Shen Xun has no shortage of young and beautiful new favorites.
At this moment, whether it was the queen's niece Gu Meimei or the child Qian Mo'er, they were all extremely respectful when they saw Liu Ruoyu.
Liu Ruoyu looked at their frightened expressions, suddenly smiled and said, "Why are you all looking at me like this? Can I eat people?"
These words startled the two of them, and they didn't know how to answer without irritating her. After all, Liu Ruoyu's temperament in private has become increasingly weird in the past six months, and she is often moody.
Fortunately, Liu Ruoyu was probably in a hurry to go out this time. After saying this, she did not continue to embarrass them. She just explained a few words lightly. After she went to Gyeonggi Villa to visit her mother and sister, she asked them to take good care of Prince Heng's Mansion, especially. Shen Xun must be taken good care of - Gu Meimei and Qian Moer quickly agreed one by one, and then said worriedly: "It's just... Your Highness is still awake..."
Liu Ruoyu snorted and said: "Then continue to serve!" Who told Shen Xun to be disobedient and commit suicide, and to abandon his position without realizing it, forcing the Holy Emperor to personally give him medicine
Although the medicine given by the Holy Spirit will not be harmful to Shen Xun, it will still make him sleep for a long time... Otherwise, both for fear of not being able to hide the truth and for fear of Shen Xun getting mixed up, the royal family and the governor tacitly concealed it. But I shouted out myself...
If this guy hadn't been falling asleep these days, Liu Ruoyu wouldn't be so relaxed now!
"I really hope this loser can never sleep!" Liu Ruoyu thought to herself, mockingly. (To be continued)
