Chapter 404 I can give it to you
"Have a private meeting with Shen Ruzhou." Prince Yu's face was full of disdain. When he first discovered that Xiao Chenyan had built this villa, he thought he would find something, but unexpectedly, he took Shen Ruzhou in instead.
"Can't you do something useful?" the queen said with hatred, "Didn't the people we sent find anything else?"
The Queen's question reminded King Yu, who leaned over and whispered back: "I really found something unusual today. Not long after Xiao Chenyan entered the other courtyard, he sent people out of the city, and my people followed him all the way. , found them digging in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city."
"Did you find anything?" The queen leaned over and asked anxiously.
"The spies were far away, so I didn't look too closely. It looked like a yellowed book of letters." King Yu told the news that the spies had just reported before entering the palace.
"A yellowed letter?" The queen felt inexplicably uneasy as she read these words, "This matter is not that simple. I will send someone to the other courtyard at night to see what Xiao Chenyan wants to do."
"It's not necessary." Prince Yu didn't take it seriously, "The other courtyard is where Xiao Chenyan and Shen Ruzhou have a private meeting. Nothing useful can be found."
"Idiot. Even if Xiao Chenyan and Shen Ruzhou are still in love and are together again after leaving, there is no need to be so secretive. There must be something fishy about this matter." The queen's eyes were filled with sparkle, decades of power struggle in the palace , her insight is extremely sharp.
King Yu was still unfazed and excused himself: "The reconciliation between Shen Ruzhou and Xiao Chenyan caused a storm in the city a while ago, but now things are getting better again. Maybe he didn't want to be discussed anymore, so he found a secluded courtyard..."
"Just do it if you are asked. There are so many words." King Yu was interrupted by the Queen before he finished speaking, "Check more carefully. Maybe the chance to overthrow Xiao Chenyan is in this other courtyard."
"Yes." Seeing that the queen was angry, King Yu did not dare to slack off and agreed quickly.
In the evening, the sky was dyed red by the sunset, which was particularly beautiful.
In the other courtyard, Xiao Chenyan was still lying leisurely on the bamboo chair, flipping through the booklet found by Chang Lin. After only reading the first page, he was keenly aware that it was the late empress's medical record.
Inside are the pulse conditions recorded by the imperial physician every day, as well as the Queen's daily diet and medication.
The fact that Aunt You hid this booklet so carefully must have something to do with the murder of the late Queen.
However, Xiao Chenyan couldn't figure out the truth until the end, so he decided to ask Shen Ruzhou about the mystery.
He came to the yard where Shen Ruzhou lived and saw Shen Ruzhou busy in the wing through the window.
On the desk in front of the bed, Shen Ruzhou held a pen in one hand and an abacus in the other, carefully calculating the various expenses required to open a medical clinic.
"It costs 100 taels to rent a shop, 70 taels to buy medicinal materials, 30 taels for medicine shelves and counters, and [-] taels for tables and chairs. We also need to hire two more clerks, preferably ones who know something about pharmacology, but it will cost more than a dozen taels per month... …”
Shen Ruzhou concentrated on settling accounts. A few strands of black hair fell loosely from her bun, and they were hung casually by her ears, giving her a natural beauty.
Xiao Chenyan had never seen such a quiet and serious Shen Ruzhou. He couldn't bear to disturb him for a moment, and just stood silently in front of the window, watching Shen Ruzhou busy, his eyes full of love.
"Two hundred taels may not be enough. I don't know when Mo Ru will be able to send medicinal materials." Shen Ruzhou tapped his forehead with a pen, wondering how to fill the gap in money.
"What's more? That envoy from Southern Xinjiang?" Xiao Chenyan suddenly spoke, startling Shen Ruyi to jump.
"Xiao Chenyan, what are you pretending to be at night? Do you know that scaring people can scare them to death?" Shen Ruzhou reached out and patted his chest, feeling that his heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of his throat.
"Why did I pretend to be a ghost? You were obviously too focused on settling the accounts and didn't notice my coming." Xiao Chenyan refused to accept and started to argue.
"You stood in front of the window so quietly and looked at me sinisterly. Are you pretending to be a ghost?" Shen Ruzhou tried hard to calm his heartbeat and gasped for air.
"This king is not sinister. I am..." Xiao Chenyan tried his best to think of the right words.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ruzhou reached out and closed the window with a snap. If he hadn't been able to hide quickly, his nose would have been pinched off.
Xiao Chenyan's chest suddenly burst into flames, and he banged the door hard, "Open the door, I have something to tell you."
Shen Ruzhou didn't want to pay attention and just pretended not to hear.
Xiao Chenyan was so angry that he wanted to kick the door down, but he finally endured it. His previous use of force in front of Shen Ruzhou had made her very disgusted. He didn't want the relationship between the two to turn against each other again.
He suppressed his anger, calmed down his expression, and continued to shout: "I have business with you. Chang Lin found a medical record in the ruined temple that Grandma You mentioned. Please help me take a look."
Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou reluctantly opened the door.Since he agreed to send the medical records to Xiao Chenyan at Beixiuyan, he must follow through on the good deeds and tell him the secrets in the medical records.
After Xiao Chenyan heard what Shen Ruzhou said, he felt as if he had found a treasure.With this medical record as physical evidence and the witness of Nanny You, it is almost certain to overthrow Queen Yuwang.
For the first time, he felt that the throne was so close to him, just like in a dream. He became the prince, and later wore a dragon robe, and everyone fell at his feet.
Xiao Chenyan turned to look at Shen Ruzhou. He imagined her putting on a phoenix robe, standing on a high place with him, and accepting the congratulations of hundreds of officials.
"Ru Zhou, I don't blame you if you don't want to come back to me now. Just wait. I will treat you well in the days to come and share the honor and wealth of this world with you."
Xiao Chenyan made an affectionate confession, but received no response.
Here, Shen Ruzhou still lowered his head, calculating the various expenses required to open a medical clinic, and turned a deaf ear to what he just said.
Xiao Chenyan snatched the account book, his narrow phoenix eyes full of anger, "Shen Ruzhou, don't always think about opening your shabby medical clinic. My woman cannot show up in public to treat others."
Being suddenly interrupted, Shen Ruzhou was also furious and scolded directly: "I'm afraid King Wu Cheng is as crazy as Aunt You. You and I have reconciled. What I do has nothing to do with you."
The corners of Xiao Chenyan's eyes were raised high, with an arrogant look on his face, "Aren't you opening a medical clinic just to make money and live a decent life? As long as you return to me obediently, I can give you all this."
Shen Ruzhou looked disgusted, "Yes! I opened a medical clinic to make money. After all, I am not as noble as King Wucheng and I have to support myself. But more importantly, I want to help those poor people who cannot afford medical treatment. These People like you wouldn't understand the truth. King Wu Cheng should go back and rest early."
Shen Ruzhou walked to the door, opened the door, and drove them away forcefully.
Not only did Xiao Chenyan not leave, he also sat on the couch, assuming the posture of a master, "Shen Ruzhou, this is my king's place. I can stay wherever I like, and stay as long as I like."
Seeing Xiao Chenyan being so shameless, Shen Ruzhou turned his back and secretly took out the silver needle from his arms, preparing to stun him and throw it out.
Just as he was about to take action, Chang Lin ran over and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine is not feeling well. Please return home quickly."
