Seeing Xie Ruzhuo, she stood up from her seat, walked to Xie Ruzhuo and said with a smile, "Good boy, you are here."
Xie Ruzhuo obediently bowed and said, "My dearest concubine, I wish you all the best in peace."
"No need." Concubine Ye helped her up, took her hand to her seat, and said with a smile, "Sit down."
Xie Ruzhuo obeyed her words, but did not dare to sit with her. He was just one step lower than her and sat on the footrest beside her. He smiled and said, "I wonder what the purpose of calling me here is?"
Seeing her cautious and measured actions, Concubine Ye became even more fond of her. After dismissing the servants, she sighed, "To tell you the truth, Divine Doctor Wen came to see the third prince today and said that his condition is very dangerous. And Before he left, he also said something to me: If you want to save the Third Prince, you have to exchange your life for your life."
As she said that, she was a little worried and asked, "I heard what he meant. He said you wanted to do this, right?"
Xie Ruzhuo composed himself and said with a smile, "Yes, what the master said is true, but the exchange of lives for lives is a bit exaggerated. If everything goes well with the blood exchange, I will not have no chance of survival."
Hearing this, Concubine Ye immediately asked, "What's the chance of survival?"
Xie Ruzhuo didn't hide anything and said, "10%."
Upon hearing this answer, Concubine Ye's expression changed several times. She held her hand several times and wanted to say something, but in the end she only said, "Zhuo'er, you are a good boy."
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Ye suddenly thought of her sister who had passed away long ago, and said sadly, "When my sister passed away, Xi'er was still in her infancy, leaving only such a child. I originally thought that she was like that The woman in this world is already desperate for love. Who would have thought that you would be braver than her. Zhuo'er, although you have made an engagement with Xi'er, you are not married after all. Don't you regret it?"
Xie Ruzhuo had already thought of the answer, and knelt down again and said, "Empress, Zhuo'er is here to ask you something today, and I hope you can agree to it." If she died unfortunately, Xiao Junxi would definitely not agree to this. So she came here actually to ask Concubine Ye to agree.
Seeing how solemn she was, Concubine Ye quickly helped her up and said, "Just tell me."
Xie Ruzhuo couldn't hold on, he just raised his eyes and said, "If Zhuo'er dies, please make the decision to terminate my engagement with the third prince."
"Why?"
Concubine Ye originally thought she would ask for something else, but she didn't expect that she actually said such words, and she was a little shocked at the moment.
Xie Ruzhuo smiled sadly and said, "Originally, I asked for this marriage out of anger. I just wanted a status that could save him openly. But if I die, this status will become a burden to him. Women in the world are all selfish, so why should I bother others after I die? So, after I die, please make the decision, cancel this engagement, and find another good marriage for Your Highness."
He is so good and deserves a better woman to accompany him for the rest of his life.
Concubine Ye caressed her cheek and said tremblingly, "Good boy, how can I bear to agree to your request?" If it weren't for the deep love, she wouldn't be able to say these words. The girl from the Xie family is really worthy of her Xi'er!
"Please make it happen, my queen!"
Xie Ruzhuo kowtowed respectfully and said with tears in his eyes, "I know this matter will make the empress very embarrassed, but if His Highness uses this paper as an excuse to never get married again in this life, then I will not be safe under Jiuquan." !”
The reason why Xiao Junxi doesn't seek power now is because he is a sickly person. But after he recovers, everything will be completely different. Unlike Xiao Junhan and Xiao Junyi, Xiao Junxi behaves in the style of Emperor Jing, and he will definitely be considered by Emperor Jing. At that time, a good family will be the mainstay to assist him.
Concubine Ye helped her up and sighed for a while before saying, "That's all, I agree to your request. I just ask the Bodhisattva to bless you for such a good child... "
Before leaving, Xie Ruzhuo went to see Xiao Junxi who was in a coma. The man's complexion became increasingly pale as he was tortured by the disease. She felt a pain in her heart and couldn't bear to look at him anymore. She turned around and left the hall.
The night wind was blowing, and a carriage was speeding along the road. Not long after, he stopped in front of a house.
The door knocker knocked three times, and someone answered the door. Seeing that the person was wearing a hood and could not see his face clearly, the doorkeeper nodded and said, "The master is already waiting inside. Come in."
The man under the hood nodded imperceptibly and walked towards one of the small buildings. Although I couldn't see her face at night, I could see that she was a graceful woman with a slim figure.
The hooded woman stood at the door and whispered back, "Master, I have something important to report." After saying this, she stood at the door, waiting for a response from inside.
After a while, the person inside said, "Come in."
The woman pushed the door open and went in, taking off her hood. It was the Xie family's second concubine, Su Bixin!
Seeing the scene inside, Su Bi didn't look away and kowtowed in greeting, "I've met the master."
Shen Jingci lazily raised her hand and said, "Get up." She had just experienced a love affair, and now she felt weak all over. Xiao Junhan, who was behind her, put his hand on her waist, squeezing her once and for all.
Shen Jingci was tickled by him, looked back at him angrily, and said softly, "Your Highness, we have something serious to do."
Xiao Junhan leaned behind her ear, sniffed, looked at Su Bi and said, "Are you the Xie family's spy?"
Su Bixin looked at Shen Jingci as if asking for instructions. When she saw the latter nodding, she said, "Back to Your Highness, that's right."
Hearing this, Xiao Junhan still asked lazily, "Then you come so late, but is there anything going on with the Xie family?"
Su Bixin replied truthfully, "Today evening, people from Concubine Ye's palace came to see Xie Ruzhuo, the fourth daughter of the Xie family. The subordinates overheard a few words. They seemed to say that the third prince's illness can be cured, but he needs to trade his life for his life! And this The chosen person is Miss Xie Si."
Hearing the words Xie Ruzhuo, Xiao Junhan immediately sat up straight and stopped being lazy, "You mean Xie Ruzhuo? No, who said that the third child's illness can be cured?"
Su Bixin shook her head and said, "I only heard the word Divine Doctor Wen, but I didn't know anything else."
"Divine Doctor Wen? Are there so many people named Wen in the world?" When Shen Jingci heard the surname "Wen", her first reaction was Wen Ruyu. No wonder she was like this. It was really the blow given to her by the Tianmen Sect Master. Big.
Xiao Junhan asked, "Is there any more details?"
"No, this is the only news that my subordinates have learned for the time being."
Seeing this, Xiao Junhan felt a little regretful. However, Shen Jingci remembered another thing and asked, "Is the matter of your pregnancy safely over?"
Su Bixin smiled confidently, "Master, don't worry, it will be perfect."
Shen Jingci felt relieved and said, "Well, that's good. You can go down first and continue to monitor the Xie family. If there is any movement, report back."
Seeing Su Bixin leave, Xiao Junhan was still thinking about the matter, "If the third child is saved, our chances of winning will be even less."
"Why are you so anxious, Your Highness? I already have an idea."
Shen Jingci smiled coldly and continued with Xiao Junhan's expectant eyes, "Now is a good opportunity. Whether the third prince can be saved is another matter, but this time Xie Ruzhuo is doomed! It's a life-for-life. Then I will Let them be a pair of ghost mandarin ducks!"
Seeing that Shen Jingci had an idea, Xiao Junhan kissed her on the cheek and said, "Good Ci'er, you have the most ideas." However, he had other plans in mind. Shen Jingci is a very shrewd woman. After he takes over...
Before he could finish his thoughts, he saw Shen Jingci suddenly sweating on her forehead, holding her chest in pain and shouting, "Oh, it hurts!"
Xiao Junhan was startled by her appearance. He hugged her and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Shen Jingci was so painful that she couldn't breathe. She felt her eyes spinning in a daze, and a pair of hands tightly grasped Xiao Junhan's arm, so hard that she almost crushed the other person.
Xiao Junhan was frightened by her appearance. Seeing that she was no longer pretending, she asked, "Are you okay?" But she began to wonder in her heart. Could it be that what Shen Jingci said earlier was true and that she was really poisoned by Xie Ruzhuo?
It wasn't until the moon set in the west that Shen Jingci's pain subsided. At this time, her body was covered in cold sweat, and she suddenly felt chilly when the wind blew her.
Seeing that she was getting better, Xiao Junhan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the purple bruise on his arm, and said with slight dissatisfaction, "You're better off, you almost didn't strangle me to death just now."
Hearing this, Shen Jingci said weakly, "Your Highness only has pain in one place, but I feel pain everywhere." After saying that, she gritted her teeth and said in a dark voice, "Xie Ruzhuo lets me suffer this kind of pain, and I will fight her until death." !”
In the morning of the next day, some courtiers wrote a letter, saying, "It is unconscionable to not save Xie's daughter when she can, and to ignore the death of the third prince." Several courtiers jointly asked Xie Ruzhuo to save Xiao Junxi. .
Emperor Jing was confused and said, "I don't even know about this. How did you learn about it?"
The court officials headed by Zhang Shangshu said, "Your Majesty, this matter has been spread all over the capital. It is said that there is a way to save the third prince's life and make him completely healed. It's just that life must be exchanged for life, and the only way can The person who did this is Xie Ruzhuo, the fourth young lady of the Xie family. But I heard that after Xie’s daughter found out about this yesterday, she packed her things overnight and prepared to run away, with no intention of saving the prince!"
After he finished speaking, Mr. Liu spoke up again, "Isn't that right? What you said in the royal study room was so nice. She was so proactive when she wanted to be the imperial concubine, and wanted to run away to save her future husband. This daughter of the Xie family His conduct is really not good!"
Emperor Jingyin asked, "You are quite well informed, but who came up with this idea? It has spread throughout the capital. Why don't I know about it?"
Zhang Shangshu immediately said, "Back to the emperor, this is what the miracle doctor in the palace said."
As soon as he spoke, several other ministers strongly agreed.
Seeing that they all spoke in unison, Emperor Jing immediately called the eunuch and said, "Miracle Doctor Xuanwen is here. I want to ask for a clear answer." If there was really a way to save Xiao Junxi, he would definitely not let it go. But if someone deliberately spreads rumors, then he will definitely investigate to the end!
Not a moment later, Wen Ruyu came over dressed in white. His steps were not fast, but he walked like the wind. There was a smile on his lips, but there was a look of scorn on the world.
Seeing Emperor Jing, Wen Ruyu just cupped her hands and asked, "I wonder why your Majesty called me here? I'm busy."
In this world, there is probably only one Wen Ruyu who dares to speak like this.
Emperor Jing was not annoyed, and just said, "I heard a rumor, so I asked you, the miracle doctor, to argue the truth and falsehood." After that, he motioned to Zhang Shangshu to say it again.
Zhang Shangshu was not afraid of wasting words, and immediately said vividly, "Recent rumors in the capital say that the third prince's illness required Miss Xie's life to be sacrificed, but Miss Xie ran away. It's really unreasonable -"
