Chapter 504 Just be yourself
Bei Xiuyan's faint voice sounded, and Shen Ruzhou raised his head suddenly, only to find that Bei Xiuyan was standing beside her at some point.
He had just come back from the palace, and he hadn't even had time to change into his official robes. He was carrying the unique fragrance of Canaanite wood, which made people feel at peace indescribably.
"Has the prince found the person who poisoned him?" Shen Ruzhou said impatiently.
"It was Mr. An Guo who did it." Bei Xiuyan leaned over, picked up the oil lamp and put it in Lu Huaining's hand. He looked at him with a deep look, as if to warn him to be cautious when encountering trouble.
An Guogong?
Shen Ruzhou had heard someone mention it before when he was treating Emperor Yong'an in the palace, "I remember that he seemed to have passed away half a month ago, and the Ministry of Rites made a note to ask for a title for his eldest son."
"Yes. According to the rules of the imperial court, the newly crowned Duke An Guo will come to the capital to thank the emperor for his kindness, so he came to An Yitang after handling his father's funeral. By coincidence, he met Ruohan on the road in the suburbs of Beijing."
"Did he find out Sister Xiao's identity?" Lu Huaining was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Now the whole capital was looking for Xiao Ruohan. If he went to An Yitang to get the antidote, it would be better to tell him that the princess of the previous dynasty was hidden in the Regent's Palace.
"Probably not, Ruohan's matter won't spread so quickly."
Shen Ruzhou expressed his inference, and Beixiu Yan nodded slightly in agreement, and then said: "It is rumored that An Yitang is a drunkard and a womanizer. He probably arrested Ruohan when he saw Ruohan being lustful on the road."
After hearing Bei Xiuyan's words, Shen Ruzhou's frowning eyebrows instantly relaxed and he smiled and said, "That's easy, just ask him for the antidote directly."
Lu Huaining looked at Shen Ruzhou with a confused face, not understanding what she meant.
Shen Ruyi hit him on the head with a chestnut and winked slyly, "Since An Yitang hurt Xiao Ruohan because of his lust, what should we be afraid of? With the power of the regent, he is the one we should be afraid of."
"Yes, we go directly to the door to ask for the antidote, and he will definitely provide it obediently." Lu Huaining suddenly realized, patted his chest and said, "Master doesn't need to come forward this time, I just go."
Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou glanced at Xiao Ruohan who was unconscious on the bed, and said with some worry: "To be sure, it's better for the prince to go. Ruohan's body may not last long."
Beixiu Yan said: "My king's request for the antidote for a maid will arouse suspicion. It is appropriate to go to Huaining."
"Maid?" Shen Ruzhou finally realized that Xiao Ruohan's identity must be concealed. She smiled apologetically at the Beixiu Banquet, "The regent is still thoughtful."
Lu Huaining said confidently: "Master, sister, don't worry, I will definitely come back with the antidote in half an hour."
Lu Huaining left with long strides, and the darkroom fell silent for an instant.
Shen Ruzhou looked at Beixiu Yan's cold and dignified face, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
She sat on the stool with her head lowered, pretending to organize the medicine box, but she didn't want to be distracted, her hand slipped, and the small medicine bottle in her hand slipped smoothly.
Bei Xiuyan had quick eyes and quick hands, and he steadily caught the medicine bottle and placed it on the table.
"Thank you." Shen Ruzhou said a few words politely and reached for the medicine bottle, but Bei Xiuyan turned his wrist and took her hand.
Shen Ruzhou pulled back hard, but he tightened his grip.
She raised her eyes with some annoyance and met Bei Xiuyan's dark and deep pupils.
"My lord, what does this mean?"
Shen Ruzhou thought of the situation when he blocked her in a corner during the day and asked her one sentence after another, and her heart was full of sourness. She gritted her teeth and said: "Your Majesty, my medical skills are indeed learned for Xiao Chenyan. If you mind, like Sunday back……"
Before the next words could be said, Bei Xiuyan spoke first.
"I have never minded, it's just..." Beixiu Yan paused, looking at Shen Ruzhou's heartbroken look, he finally let go of his manly arrogance and said word by word: "I'm just a little jealous."
Jealous? Shen Ruzhou looked at the handsome Beixiu Yan in front of him in disbelief, he was actually jealous for himself.
Bei Xiuyan looked at the pretty woman in front of him, his eyes filled with cherishment.
He lowered his head and kissed Shen Ruzhou Ling's thick eyelashes, his movements gentle and jerky.
Shen Ruzhou's heart suddenly beat like a pounding, and the awkwardness of the day completely dissipated, replaced by joy in his heart and eyes.
"Your Majesty, in the future, Ruzhou will only have your eyes set on your Majesty. If Your Majesty is still upset, I will also learn something for you in the future, okay?"
"With me, you don't have to be so cautious. In addition to accompanying me from time to time, just do what you like." Bei Xiuyan said with a gentle voice, and took Shen Ruzhou into his arms with his long arms.
