Chapter 476: Protect Beixiu Yan’s Beloved Disciple
The winter in the capital is much warmer than in the north. In addition, the fire dragon was burned in the imperial concubine's palace, so the room was very warm.
Shen Ruzhou prepared medicine for Emperor Yong'an until midnight last night, so he was a little lazy this morning. She finished her breakfast and reclined on the soft couch, planning to take a nap again.
At this time, Xiao Chenyan came over with Dr. Chen. As soon as he entered the door, he said with a gloomy face: "Shen Ruzhou, I saw that you had a stomachache yesterday, so I brought the doctor here to check on you today."
Shen Ruzhou opened his heavy eyelids, glanced at him, and said angrily: "I'm fine, so I won't bother the doctor."
"It's better to let Dr. Chen take a pulse. If there are other diseases, we can treat them together." Xiao Chenyan's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and his words were full of threats.
Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou couldn't help but roll his eyes and cursed in his mind: Xiao Chenyan, you are the one who is sick.
Seeing the tense situation between the two, the imperial concubine hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is interested. It's just a common problem among women. It's good to rest more. There is really no need for a doctor's consultation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chenyan flew towards him with an eye knife, and his whole body exuded an irresistible coercive aura.
"My dear concubine, my father is already awake. You should hurry up and wait in front of the emperor. As for other things, I won't bother you."
These words were said without any mercy.
The imperial concubine's face turned pale and she was about to explode, but she finally gritted her teeth and endured it. Now that Xiao Chenyan has great power, she cannot afford to offend him.
The imperial concubine had no choice but to force out a polite smile and said: "Your Highness said, I will go see the Emperor right away."
After saying that, the imperial concubine gave Shen Ruzhou a "helpless" look and turned around and left the hall.
After the imperial concubine left, Xiao Chenyan waved his hand and retreated from the palace.
"Mr. Chen, go check Shen Ruzhou's pulse." Xiao Chenyan lifted up his robe, sat down on the main seat, and gave a cold command.
"Your Highness, my health is fine. There is no need to bother the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment." Shen Ruzhou refused once again without waiting for the imperial doctor Chen to approach.
"I see that you don't look well, so you'd better let the imperial doctor take a look so that you can rest assured."
Xiao Chenyan's black eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his eyes were fixed on Shen Ruzhou, feeling that she had a guilty conscience.
Shen Ruzhou's scalp was numb from being stared at, and he thought to himself what kind of smoke this man had.
"Your Highness, I am a doctor. If you feel uncomfortable, I will take care of myself. You won't have to worry about it."
Hearing this, Xiao Chenyan was even more confused.
It's not just to check the pulse, but Shen Ruzhou repeatedly shied away from it. Sure enough, there was something wrong in his mind.
Thinking of this, the anger in Xiao Chenyan's heart couldn't be suppressed anymore. He slammed the table and shouted sternly: "Shen Ruzhou, you must have done something shameful to not let the imperial doctor diagnose your pulse."
Shen Ruzhou watched Xiao Chenyan's eyes fall on his abdomen, and instantly understood the meaning of his words.
"Xiao Chenyan, even if you are the prince, you cannot insult my innocence at will."
"Isn't it clear that the imperial doctor's pulse will be clear immediately?" Xiao Chenyan continued to be aggressive.
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and motioned for Doctor Chen to step forward and take his pulse.
Doctor Chen came to Shen Ruzhou with a medicine box and said, "Miss Shen, please stretch out your wrist..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Ruzhou brushed him away.
"Your Highness, please don't bully me too much!" Shen Ruzhou was furious. He felt sick even if he looked at Xiao Chenyan more than once. He found an excuse and prepared to leave.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to take medicine. Ruzhou should resign."
"Come here, hold Shen Ruzhou down and let Doctor Chen take his pulse." Xiao Chenyan's voice came coldly from behind. Before Shen Ruzhou could recover, two stout nannies had already stepped forward and grabbed Shen Ruzhou's arms, one on the left and the other on the right.
Fortunately, Shen Ruzhou was prepared. He turned his wrists inwards and the silver needles on his fingertips pierced his grandma's arm.
The two nuns screamed and let go.
Shen Ruzhou took advantage of this gap and took out a few silver needles again and held them in his hand. The two nuns still wanted to step forward. She raised the silver needles and sneered: "I just gave you two a reminder. This time But it’s different, this silver needle is quenched with poison that seals the throat with blood, come here if you don’t care about your life.”
As soon as these words came out, the two nuns trembled in fear and quickly stepped aside.
Xiao Chenyan snorted coldly when he saw this, "Shen Ruzhou, stop bluffing there!"
"Your Highness." Jun Wu shouted, interrupting Xiao Chenyan's words.
Xiao Chenyan raised his eyes and saw Jun Wu striding into the hall. He didn't even have time to breathe before he whispered in his ear to report.
Shen Ruzhou was far away and couldn't hear clearly what Jun Wu was saying, but he could tell from his anxious look that something big must have happened.
Sure enough, Xiao Chenyan's expression changed drastically at this time, and he ordered, "Prepare your horses and leave the palace." Then he walked away without looking back.
Shen Ruzhou looked at Xiao Chenyan's hurried away figure with suspicion in his eyes.
With Xiao Chenyan's temperament, what could make him so frightened could only be something that threatened his power position.
And the biggest threat to him now is Lu Huaining.
Thinking of this, Shen Ruzhou couldn't help but worry about Lu Huaining's safety. Although Beixiu Yan had hidden the person in advance, the situation in Beijing was changing rapidly and the forces of all parties were intertwined. If something happened, Beixiu Yan would be beyond its reach.
We can't sit still and wait for death. We must protect Huaining before the Beixiu Banquet returns to Beijing.
Shen Ruzhou made up his mind and secretly left the palace through the west door and came to his medical clinic.
When Miao Dong saw that her young lady was back, she happily stepped forward to greet her. However, Shen Ruzhou was not in the mood to say hello. He pulled her into the inner room and asked in a low voice, "Where is Jian Yu who came back with me yesterday?"
"I'm practicing my sword in the backyard." Miao Dong replied. He immediately understood Shen Ruzhou's intention and said quickly: "I'll call her right away."
After saying that, he quickly ran to the backyard and called Jian Yu.
"Miss, what are your orders?" Jian Yu knew from Shen Ruzhou's expression that something was wrong with her and asked.
"Is there any way to find out where Xiao Chenyan went after leaving the palace today?" Shen Ruzhou felt panicked, always feeling that something was going to happen.
Jian Yu nodded and said, "It shouldn't be difficult. Miss, just wait. I'll be back as soon as I go."
Half an hour later, Jian Yu came back and told Shen Ruzhou Xiao Chenyan's whereabouts
"Went to Prince Yu's Mansion?" Miao Dong opened her mouth in surprise, "Prince Yu was expelled from the capital after he was demoted to a commoner. Why are you going to Prince Yu's Mansion now?"
Shen Ruzhou's expression was calm, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth, "She should be going to see Princess Yu."
Hearing this, Miaodong couldn't help but cursed, "His Royal Highness, you have gone too far. It's okay to spoil your concubine and destroy your wife. Why are you still thinking about a married woman?"
Shen Ruzhou naturally knew Xiao Chenyan's friendship for Mu Wanqing, but based on the scene during the day, she still felt something was fishy.
"Xiao Chenyan is probably not going to Prince Yu's Mansion at this time for the sake of love between a man and a woman. Most likely, Princess Yu has some important news in her hands."
