Chapter 405 The Regent fell into coma due to illness
Xiao Chenyan stood up helplessly and said to Shen Ruzhou: "The concubine and the child will not be obstacles between us. I will handle it and give you an explanation."
Xiao Chenyan's words fell into Chang Lin's ears, and he felt that Shen Ruzhou must be eliminated so that Mu Wanrong and her children could live peacefully in the palace.
Shen Ruyi looked contemptuous, "That's your business and has nothing to do with me."
Then she closed the door tightly, completely unaware of the murderous look in Chang Lin's eyes.
At night, Shen Ruzhou was sleeping soundly when she heard someone knocking on the door. She put on her clothes and got up and walked to the door. When she heard carefully, it was Lu Huaining's voice.
Opening the door, Lu Huaining was dressed in black, and he had obviously climbed over the wall.As if there was something extremely secret, Lu Huaining immediately closed the door as soon as he came in, and said anxiously: "Beautiful sister, Master is ill. Go and have a look."
"When did it happen?" Shen Ruzhou was shocked. He only gave Beixiu Yan an injection yesterday and his condition was already improving. How could he suddenly become ill?
Lu Huaining was extremely careful and lowered his voice: "Master is already unconscious. We cannot let outsiders know about this, otherwise we are afraid that someone will do harm to Master."
"Yes, I understand." Shen Ruzhou nodded. As the regent, Bei Xiuyan was at the center of power, and his safety was of great concern.
While the two were talking, Lu Huaining was keenly aware of someone outside and quickly ducked behind the screen. Shen Ruzhou understood and lay on the couch to doze off. The next moment, the window was opened and a person jumped in.
The person took out a dagger and approached Shen Ruzhou step by step. Just when he was about to raise his hand to stab, Shen Ruzhou sprinkled the powder and the person seemed to have been prepared and quickly dodged away.
Through the moonlight, Shen Ruzhou could clearly see the appearance of this person. He turned out to be Chang Lin.
"Chang Lin, if you attack me, aren't you afraid that King Wu Cheng will blame you?" Shen Ruzhou threatened.
"The prince will not know, because a dead person cannot speak." In Chang Lin's eyes, Shen Ruzhou was already a dead person.
He raised the knife and stabbed again. At this time, Lu Huaining jumped out of the screen and attacked him from behind. The two of them fought with their swords.Shen Ruzhou also hurriedly took out the silver needle from the medicine box and found the right opportunity to plunge it into Chang Lin's shoulder.
The needle was stained with drug, and Chang Lin quickly passed out.
Seeing that Lu Huaining's arm was stabbed and bleeding a lot, Shen Ruzhou quickly took out gauze and helped him bandage it.
"Beautiful sister, how should we deal with this person?" Lu Huaining looked at Chang Lin who fell on the ground and was a little embarrassed. Although his master had taught him not to be soft on bad guys, he still couldn't kill him if he really wanted to.
Shen Ruzhou didn't want to get his hands dirty and said bitterly: "Don't worry about it, Xiao Chenyan will take care of him."
"Then let's go see Master quickly." Lu Huaining was worried about the Beixiu Banquet, and didn't care about the injury on his arm. He pulled Shen Ruzhou away and left.
In the tree, King Yu's spies had a panoramic view of everything that had just happened.After Shen Ruzhou and Lu Huaining left, the spies went directly into the room and searched carefully inside and out, but did not find the yellowed booklet or even any useful clues.
Looking at the unconscious Chang Lin on the ground, I just felt incredible.
King Wu Cheng’s henchman actually killed his woman behind King Wu Cheng’s back?
Remembering that Shen Ruzhou followed Lu Huaining, I felt even more confused. Why were people from the Prince Regent's Palace involved? What a mess this was.
He covered his head and worried about how to report back to King Yu.
In Prince Yu's mansion, even though it was late at night, the lights in the study were still bright. Prince Yu turned the glass ball in his hand and couldn't help but frown after listening to the spies' report.
"You mean Shen Ruzhou left with the people from the Regent's Palace?"
The spy replied respectfully: "Yes, my subordinates saw with their own eyes that Shen Ruzhou, whom Young Master Lu personally invited, was still mysterious and mysterious. He didn't know what was going on?"
"What else could it be? There have long been rumors outside that Shen Ruzhou has an affair with Bei Xiuyan. It seems that it is not groundless." King Yu closed his eyes, and then raised a hint of sarcasm on his lips, "She is really a free-spirited woman, while talking to Xiao Chenyan We had a private meeting in another courtyard, and secretly had an affair with Beixiu Yan."
"Then do we need to continue to keep an eye on the other courtyard?" The spy asked carefully, and Prince Yu waved his hand casually, "No, I am not interested in the dirty things of these male thieves and female prostitutes."
The spy nodded in agreement and was about to leave when King Yu asked about the book again. The spy broke out in a cold sweat and knelt down to report, "Your Majesty, my subordinates are incompetent and couldn't find the book."
Seeing that King Yu was about to get angry, the spy hurriedly added: "My subordinates didn't find out everything. Did they discover a secret?"
"Secret?" Prince Yu immediately became interested and leaned over.
The spy said: "My subordinates discovered that Chang Lin, a close confidant of King Wu Cheng, wanted to kill Shen Ruzhou. I wonder if it was King Wu Cheng's intention?"
"Kill Shen Ruzhou?" King Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Xiao Chenyan has many ways to kill Shen Ruzhou. He won't wait until now, and he only sends one person to do it secretly at night. There must be someone else who wants to kill Shen Ruzhou, Chang Lin. He must have been bribed."
Thinking of this, King Yu's eyes flashed with light, and the corner of his mouth curled up, "It seems that Xiao Chenyan is not like an iron bucket around him. Since Chang Lin can be bribed by others, he can also be used by us. You go check with the Chief Inspector. Come."
"Your Majesty is smart, my subordinates will go now." The spy praised him in a flattering manner. As long as Prince Yu didn't punish him for not finding the book, everything else was easy to say.
King Yu was leaning alone on the soft couch with a proud look on his face. If he took Chang Lin as his own, it would be equivalent to putting a pair of eyes beside Xiao Chenyan. Everything he would do in the future would be under his control.
Shen Ruzhou and Lu Huaining came to the Regent's Palace and entered Bei Xiuyan's bedroom, where they saw him lying on the couch with his face pale and his eyes closed.
Shen Ruzhou hurriedly stepped forward to check his pulse, took out the medicine box, and stabbed several important acupuncture points. Soon Bei Xiuyan's face regained a trace of color and his pulse became much more stable.
Shen Ruzhou breathed a sigh of relief, covered Beixiu Banquet with a quilt, and left the inner room.
As soon as he came out, Lu Huaining asked impatiently: "Beautiful sister, how is my master?"
"Don't worry, I've already given the injection and it should be fine soon." Shen Ruzhou wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It was really dangerous just now. If it's too late, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Thank you, Miss Shen." Qin Ming bowed deeply to Shen Ruzhou gratefully, "The regent suddenly became ill just now, which scared us all."
"Why did he suddenly become ill when he was fine?" Shen Ruzhou asked doubtfully. Bei Xiuyan's condition had always been stable, so there must be a special reason for the sudden onset of illness.
Hearing Shen Ruzhou's question, Qin Ming was very embarrassed and hesitated for a long time without saying anything useful.
