Chapter 415 Xiao Chenyan’s injury worsens
Entering the study, Xiao Chenyan was already impatient with waiting. When he saw Jun Wu, he hurriedly asked: "What did Shen Ruzhou say?"
"Miss Shen stewed a medicinal meal for you. She said that you were injured and needed to replenish your body." Jun Wu reported respectfully and took out the medicinal meal from the food box.
When Xiao Chenyan heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "Shen Ruzhou is showing kindness to me. It seems that she will be able to return to me soon."
Seeing Xiao Chenyan picking up the spoon and about to drink, Jun Wu stopped him and said, "My lord, why don't you test the poison first? It's always better to be careful."
Junwu really couldn't figure out why Shen Ruzhou sent soup. After all, her attitude towards the prince had changed too much.
Xiao Chenyan's face was uncertain and he didn't say anything, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Junwu took out a silver needle and inserted it into the soup. He was completely relieved when he found that it had not turned black.
Here, Xiao Chenyan said in a cold voice: "Jun Wu, Shen Ruzhou will not poison this king. Don't do such useless things again in the future."
"Yes, it is the heart of a villain that judges the heart of a gentleman." Jun Wu knelt down and admitted his mistake.
Xiao Chenyan picked up the spoon and drank the soup with a satisfied look on his face.
Chang Lin came back from outside. As soon as he entered the study, he knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, we can't collect food. All the major food stores in Kyoto have increased their prices overnight, which is more than [-]% more expensive than usual."
Xiao Chenyan's narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he was keenly aware that this matter was not simple, and immediately ordered, "Go and find out who is behind this?"
Soon, the man behind the scenes pointed his finger at King Yu. Xiao Chenyan was not surprised at all, "King Yu really can't sit still."
Xiao Chenyan turned his eyes and asked doubtfully: "It's just that this time he planned carefully and acted meticulously. He should have known the news in advance. The grain trade with Southern Xinjiang was done secretly. How did he know about it? Could it be that he was under my control? Are there any spies around?"
In one sentence, Jun Wu and Chang Lin knelt down at the same time and said in unison: "My subordinates are loyal to the prince and will never betray the lord."
Xiao Chenyan glanced at the two of them with cold eyes. They had been with him for many years, so there was no need to doubt them.
"That's all, maybe the news was leaked over there." Xiao Chenyan waved his hand to let them get up, and then said helplessly: "My father ordered me to prepare food and transport it to southern Xinjiang within three days. If there is a delay, I'm afraid my father will blame me. I didn't do my job well, so I first used money from the house to buy grain at a high price, and after dealing with the envoys from southern Xinjiang, I won't be too late to deal with King Yu."
While Xiao Chenyan was paying for his own affairs, King Yu had already entered the palace and reported a black case against him in front of Emperor Yong'an, "Father, King Wu Cheng secretly raised the price of food, triggering a food crisis in Kyoto. Many people were unable to buy it because they could not afford it." The grain workers have begun to besiege the rice store and cause trouble, and everything is in chaos outside."
After hearing this, Emperor Yong'an frowned slightly, feeling that Xiao Chenyan lacked experience and couldn't handle this matter well, causing uproar in the city.
Thinking that King Yu had been managing the money and grain before, and had never made any mistakes, he began to pay more attention to this legitimate son. "You are more proficient in money and grain matters. You will still be responsible for the grain trade with southern Xinjiang in the future."
"My son, I will do my best to maintain harmonious relations and never let down my father's expectations." King Yu happily accepted the order, feeling more and more that the 500 taels of silver given to Shen Ruzhou was well spent.
When Xiao Chenyan heard in the palace that Emperor Yong'an asked Prince Yu to be responsible for the food supply, he became very angry. He spent the money and finally lost his job, giving Prince Yu a huge advantage.
He was so angry that he grabbed the vase on the table and smashed it, but he accidentally touched the wound on his arm and almost fainted from the pain.
Jun Wu hurriedly invited the imperial doctor.
After untying the bandage and splint on his arm, the imperial doctor took a deep breath and hurriedly knelt down to report: "King Wu Cheng, you didn't use the right medicine on your arm, and the wound is already festering."
Xiao Ruohan came to the medical clinic to help. The two of them were packing their things when a burst of fighting came from the medical clinic opposite.Xiao Ruohan came out to take a look and saw that Jun Wu led his men to smash up the medical center and beat up the doctor and two waiters who were sitting in the hall.
She looked at Shen Ruzhou curiously and saw that he was still carrying the medicinal materials in a leisurely manner, as if he had expected it.
"What tricks did you use to make King Wu Cheng work as your thug?"
Shen Ruzhou put the medicinal ingredients in his hand on the counter, smiled narrowly, showing his white teeth, "Do you really think I'm so kind as to stew medicinal food for him?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ruohan immediately understood. He walked into the counter with his clothes and helped Shen Ruzhou put together the medicinal materials. "I thought you were poisoning the medicinal food before. Now it seems that you have used medicine that is incompatible with trauma in the medicinal food." , causing King Wu Cheng’s wound to fester, so he naturally thought that the medicine clinic opposite was using the medicine improperly, so he sent someone to destroy it.”
Shen Ruzhou nodded noncommittally, "Xiao Chen is inherently suspicious. If I were to poison him directly, he would definitely find out."
In the Regent's Palace, Bei Xiuyan has been recuperating for some time, and his condition has stabilized a lot. He is currently lying on a bamboo chair in the garden and listening to Qin Ming's report on the news.
"My lord, during the period when you were on leave, many people in the court tried their best to find out about your condition. The emperor sent princes and princes to visit you, but you also declined. Now there are many rumors outside, and some even spread rumors about your illness. Heavy, time is running out.”
"It's just that everyone has their own ideas and wants to share the king's power." Bei Xiuyan looked indifferent and didn't care about these gossipy things.
Qin Ming handed over the newly brewed tea and continued: "That's all for others. It's just that the Marquis of Zhennan is really restless. He just expressed his loyalty to you some time ago. Now that he sees that you are sick, he goes to talk to Yu again." Wang Daxian is so attentive, but he is really a loser."
Qin Ming was very angry when he said this.Beixiu Yan still looked calm and calm, and took a sip of tea slowly, "The Marquis of Zhennan is a two-faced villain. I have never thought of taking him under my command. I am just afraid of him." After hurting Shen Ruzhou again, I reluctantly gave him some good looks."
Bei Xiuyan said as he put down the teacup in his hand, raised his eyes to look at the waning moon in the night sky, and curved his lips, "Anyway, he won't be able to bounce around for a few days, Xiao Chenyan will probably attack him in the next few days. "
Hearing this, Qin Ming was puzzled. The prince has not left the house these days, and the spies have not reported any news about King Wu Cheng. How did the prince know?
Beixiu Yan saw Qin Ming's confusion, "Xiao Chenyan is the best at eradicating the roots. When he went to provide disaster relief and deal with Zhennanhou's son, he had planned to eliminate Zhennanhou as well, but he didn't want to catch the plague himself. , and was delayed for some time due to many matters in the court, now I should be able to free up my hands to deal with the Marquis of Zhennan."
Beixiu Yan's inference was correct. At this time, in Prince Wucheng's palace, Xiao Chenyan had packed up the evidence of Zhennan Marquis and was waiting for the great court meeting in three days to present a good report.
