Chapter 368 Are you still worried about King Wu Cheng?
In the side hall of Taihe Palace, General Jun reported the news he had inquired about: "The Regent has returned to the palace. I heard that he only suffered some minor injuries and is not serious. But Miss Shen's whereabouts are still unknown for the time being. , the royal guards have been searching in the valley for two days, but still haven't found anyone."
Two days have passed since Shen Ruzhou fell off the cliff, but there is still no news about her.
Xiao Chenyan couldn't hide his anxiety and got up to look for him regardless of his weak body.
Seeing this, Concubine De quickly supported him and said to comfort him, "How can you go out like this?"
Thinking of Shen Ruzhou, she became extremely angry. She gritted her teeth and continued: "Besides, it's been two days and two nights. No matter how tough Shen Ruzhou's life was, there was no way he could have survived. Maybe even his body would have been eaten clean by wild beasts." Well, why are you worried about what she is doing?"
Concubine De cursed bitterly, but did not notice that Xiao Chenyan's face was gray and his breathing was rapid.
He held on to his weak body and said in disbelief: "No, Shen Ruzhou will be fine. I have to find her."
Xiao Chenyan ignored Concubine De's obstruction and stood up, holding on to the edge of the bed.But before he could stand still, he felt dizzy and fainted.
The scene in the dream appeared again, long and clear, connecting all the fragments in Xiao Chenyan's mind.
This time, he remembered everything in his previous life, and Shen Ruzhou's affectionate dedication to him was even more vivid in his mind.
From the first time they met, he accidentally fell into the cold pool. Shen Ruzhou jumped into the water to save him and saved his life. He was grateful for her life-saving grace and promised to marry her.
When he went out to provide disaster relief, Shen Ruzhou worked hard for him. Although the plague was raging, he was able to stay safe under Shen Ruzhou's careful and meticulous multiple protections.Not only did he escape unscathed, he also won the hearts and minds of the king and the people.
In the fight for the throne, he not only had to plan everything and spend all his energy, but he also had to always be on guard against poisoning by his opponents. Fortunately, Shen Ruzhou was proficient in medical skills and carefully examined every drink and food, so there was no risk for his life.
……
One after another, Shen Ruzhou did a lot for him and even gave her everything, but he never did anything for her until she died with hatred, leaving him with endless regrets.
Now that God has given him another chance, he must find Shen Ruzhou and make up for her and make up for the shortcomings of his previous life.
Xiao Chenyan's poisoning this time was more serious than before. His breathing was weak, his lips were blue, and he always fell into a coma and became unconscious.
Concubine De was so worried that the imperial doctors in the palace also took turns to look at her, but they were all helpless.
Seeing that Xiao Chenyan's health was deteriorating day by day, Concubine De no longer cared about resenting Shen Ruzhou and sent people out to help find Shen Ruzhou's whereabouts. She only hoped to find her soon so that her son could be diagnosed, treated and detoxified.
At this time, Shen Ruzhou was arranged by Beixiu Banquet to live in a villa on the outskirts of the city called Suifeng Yaju.There are green bamboos planted everywhere in the courtyard, which is quiet and elegant, like a secluded place undisturbed by the world.
Shen Ruzhou has stayed here for two days. He makes tea in the morning and watches the clouds in the evening. He just feels extremely comfortable.
In both lives, Shen Ruzhou has been mediating in the struggle for power and favor in the backyard. She has tried her best but it is still difficult to protect herself, so she has no time to appreciate the peaceful years. The days now seem to have been stolen, making her unable to Consciously indulge in it.
But some things still have to be settled. Only in this way can she live the life she wants according to her own wishes.
I don’t know how the investigation on the assassin is going?
While Shen Ruzhou was thinking, Beixiu Yan walked in.
He walked with an elegant gait from the bamboo forest path, his clothes billowing in the wind, light and agile, like an immortal who came to visit the human world.
The small teapot on the stone table is already boiling slightly, and the aroma of tea is overflowing.Beixiu Yan stepped forward and couldn't help but praise: "What a fragrant tea!"
Shen Ruzhou stood up and half-crouched to salute, invited Beixiu Banquet to sit down, raised his sleeves, and poured tea for him, "The regent came just in time. This is the dew on the bamboo leaves I collected in the morning, and it goes with the sweetness of this year's bergamot." Qinrun, it couldn’t be better.”
Beixiu Yan picked it up and took a sip. He felt the fragrance on his lips and teeth, and the aftertaste was endless.Here, Shen Ruzhou handed over the newly made lotus cake, "I have nothing to do in the past two days, so I followed the method that Sister Rulan taught me before and tried to make it. The Regent will try it."
Seeing Shen Ruzhou Yan smiling, Bei Xiuyan thought of the girl dancing under the pear tree again. The innocent and happy Shen Ruzhou was back.
After drinking tea, Shen Ruzhou couldn't help but ask about the assassin, "Prince Regent, has there been any progress regarding the assassin?"
Thinking of the assassination he had just experienced, Bei Xiuyan's eyes flashed with a trace of sternness, and he told all the details of the investigation.
"Judging from the assassin's body shape and technique, he should be from Nanjing. I suspect that the assassin was sent by the Marquis of Zhennan. However, the assassin operates in a secretive manner and no direct evidence has been found yet."
Zhennanhou?Hearing this name, Shen Ruzhou was shocked. In the previous life, this person was Xiao Chenyan's nemesis, scheming, sinister and vicious.Apart from King Yu, this person is also the biggest stumbling block for Xiao Chenyan on his way to the throne.
If you are targeted by this person, it will be a big trouble.
All the panic on Shen Ruzhou's face fell into Beixiu Yan's eyes, and he comforted him with gentle words, "Don't worry, although no evidence has been found yet, I have sent people to keep an eye on the Marquis of Zhennan, and I will never do it again." Give him a chance to strike,"
After Bei Xiuyan finished speaking, he added, "I will definitely take good care of you. After all, I still need you to diagnose and treat my illness."
This assurance made Shen Ruzhou feel inexplicably at ease. Although the purpose of Beixiu Banquet was to enable him to continue treating him, the reason was also reasonable.
Thinking of the grudge between Zhennan Hou and Xiao Chenyan, Shen Ruzhou expressed all the doubts in his heart, "Zhennan Hou's son was previously imprisoned by Xiao Chenyan for embezzling disaster relief money. He must have seen that I rescued Xiao Chenyan, and his heart rose. He was dissatisfied, so he killed me."
Hearing this, Beixiu Yan was noncommittal, "It was three months ago that the son of Zhennan Hou was questioned. It's really strange that this person could lie dormant for so long before taking action."
"He probably colluded with King Yu. It must have been King Yu who used the grudge between him and Xiao Chenyan to instigate him and promised him some benefits." Shen Ruzhou gritted his teeth and said, this method of killing people with a borrowed knife was Mu Wanqing's habit. She was too Clear.
Prince Yu is still grounded, but Princess Yu can come and go freely. Besides, she has always had a close relationship with the daughter of the Marquis of Zhennan, so it is not difficult for Mu Wanqing to accomplish this.
"But whether it is Prince Yu or Marquis Zhennan, each one is more powerful than the other. It will not be easy to catch them." Shen Ruzhou sighed helplessly.
Bei Xiuyan was noncommittal, his eyes shining brightly, "As long as they have done it, I will be able to find the evidence, but it will only be a matter of time."
It was getting late, and the maid lit a lamp and brought it over. Shen Ruzhou held his chin in one hand and flicked the candlelight with the other.
Here, Beixiu Yan talked about the situation in the palace again, "I heard that Xiao Chenyan was poisoned again, and it was more serious than before, and the imperial doctor was unable to do anything."
"What?" Shen Ruzhou's face was full of shock, "I have detoxified most of the poison in his body, how could it happen again? What's going on?"
Bei Xiuyan looked at Shen Ruzhou's anxious look, frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "Since you are so worried about King Wu Cheng, I will send you to the palace to see him now."
Bei Xiuyan's eyes were cold, and Shen Ruzhou felt like a light on his back, and his whole body was filled with a biting coldness.
