Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Murong Yao looked at her and did not answer directly.

Just his eyes fell slightly on her face, taking in all the changes in her expression.

He said this to her to test her attitude.

He wanted to know what Leng Ruqing could do for him.

In this way, he will be able to use her more easily in the future to contain King Hanyang.

he asked.

"If I want it, will you help me?"

She...helped him?

How can she help?

Leng Ruqing was stunned for a moment, then realized that although she couldn't help, her father could.

So when Murong Yao married her, could it be that he had this kind of consideration in mind...

"The reason I'm angry today is not entirely because of the throne."

Murong Yao suddenly spoke, interrupting her thoughts.

Leng Ruqing looked up at him with confusion in her eyes: "What's that for?"

Murong Yao turned his eyes slightly and said slowly.

"I studied the art of governing the country so diligently, restrained myself, and worked diligently, but in the end I still lost to Brother Jiu Wang. It was so useless."

After that, a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "He can beat me if he is not in good health, but if he is healthy, I am afraid he will have nothing to do with me."

"No, Prince, you don't have to belittle yourself. You are still young and not as stable as King Ling, but in a few years, you will definitely not be worse than him."

Leng Ruqing held Murong Yao's hand, her eyes firm and trusting: "My lord, you are unique and unparalleled in my mind, you are better than anyone else!"

In her mind?

What's the use?

Murong Yao sneered a little in his heart, but a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"With your words, I feel much relieved."

Seeing that he seemed to be opening his heart, Leng Ruqing's bright face, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile.

She leaned into Murong Yao's arms, thought about it, and said seriously.

"Actually, no matter what you want, I will do my best to help you."

Murong Yao's dark eyes flashed with light.

Then I heard her say again.

"As long as it doesn't violate the bottom line and doesn't do anything harmful to nature, I'm willing to do it."

The light in his eyes instantly turned cold again.

Shen Ruoxi returned to the East Palace in a sedan chair.

Not long after, Murong Heng also came back.

He was wearing a black python robe, his steps were steady, and he did not appear to be sickly. However, as he walked closer, his face could still be seen to be slightly pale.

Shen Ruoxi stepped forward and expressed concern.

"Aheng, how are you? Do you still have a fever?"

"No, I'm fine now after taking the medicine."

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Murong Heng's handsome face had a slightly condensed expression.

"I have something to tell you."

"I have something to tell you."

They both spoke at the same time.

Murong Heng was slightly startled, then showed a faint smile.

He held her hand and walked towards the palace: "You speak first."

There were only two people in the hall at this moment, and Shen Ruoxi didn't have too many worries. She lowered her voice and approached Murong Heng, and spoke out what was deep in her heart.

"I went to see the Queen Mother today, and I discovered something incredible."

She said slowly: "I found that the Queen Mother's tonic... was filled with Heart-biting Powder."

Murong Heng glared for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

"what is this?"

"It's a poison that can make people delirious, but it's not harmful to the body. It just makes people lose their memory and make them more and more confused."

"So what you're saying is... the Queen Mother's Mania is man-made?"

Shen Ruoxi nodded.

Hearing this, Murong Heng's narrow eyes surged with a hint of coldness, but soon, the storm in his eyes calmed down and was replaced by reason.

Shen Ruoxi looked at him and asked.

"Aheng, who do you think was responsible for the poison?"

Murong Heng did not answer immediately. He rubbed Shen Ruoxi's fingers and pondered for a moment.

Then he said calmly.

"This poison was put in the tonic given by the Imperial Hospital. He was so blatant and not afraid of being discovered. There is only one person in the world who can have such great power."

He hit the nail on the head and pointed directly at the person sitting on the dragon throne.

Shen Ruoxi was not too surprised.

Because she was so suspicious from the beginning.

That's why after smelling the Xinxin Powder, he still gave the Queen Mother the medicine to drink.

Because if this was Emperor Renjing's intention, if she exposed it without permission, not only would she not be able to stop it, but she would also cause great trouble to herself.

only……

why?

"They say the emperor is benevolent and filial. Why is this?"

Murong Heng said: "Didn't you say that this medicine is harmless to the body, but it will make people unconscious. I guess you want the Queen Mother to keep her mouth shut, for fear that she will say something."

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi was stunned.

Then she remembered the Queen Mother Jing'an holding her hand and mentioning the former Queen.

Could it be because of the former Queen?

Shen Ruoxi was extremely confused, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

How many secrets are hidden in this palace?

Suddenly a hand was caressed on the face.

Murong Heng stretched out his hand to touch her fair face and said warmly: "Don't think too much about things you can't figure out. Just leave it to me to find the truth."

"But……"

Shen Ruoxi reached out and held his fingers, with genuine concern in her eyes: "But if it's really him... you will be in danger."

"Being in the royal family, there are many things that you have no control over, and... I am a whirlpool myself. Until today, I am destined to be unable to avoid disputes, and the situation will be more dangerous in the future. Ruoxi, are you afraid?"

His face was calm, but he was a little uneasy inside.

She was his weakness. If Shen Ruoxi was afraid of her, he would spend a lot of money to take another path and exit the center of the whirlpool.

However, Shen Ruoxi smiled faintly.

The gentle eyes are full of elegance.

"How can I be afraid when Ah Heng is by my side?"

Murong Heng's heart was shaken, and an unprecedented throbbing and joy rolled in his blood.

He couldn't help but tighten his grip on her fingers, and pulled her into his arms.

He stroked her cool black hair and felt that the empty heart that had always been empty seemed to be filled with something at this moment.

Shen Ruoxi lay on his chest and asked.

"You just said you had something to tell me. What was it?"

Before Murong Heng could answer, a person suddenly ran in from outside the hall.

It's Xiao Yuzi.

He trotted in all the way.

"His Royal Highness King Ling, Your Majesty..."

Just as he uttered a few words, he saw a pair of beautiful people hugging each other, and his teeth were almost sore from the entanglement.

Xiao Yuzi opened his mouth.

"I didn't see anything. I'm blind. I'm going to leave now..."

"return."

Murong Heng's voice was cold.

"Yes."

Xiao Yuzi rolled back again.

Murong Heng asked.

"What did you just want to say?"

"Yes... the prince and father-in-law beside the emperor came and said that the emperor's decree has arrived."

Shen Ruoxi was a little confused.

"Why did the emperor suddenly issue the decree? Is there something important?"

Murong Heng held her hand: "Aren't you curious, do I have anything to tell you? You will know the order after hearing it."

Shen Ruoxi followed him and walked out of the palace together.

Outside, Wang Defu was already waiting with a whisk and an imperial edict.

Murong Heng knelt down with Shen Ruoxi, and then saw Wang Defu opening the imperial edict, and his high-pitched voice sounded in front of the East Palace.

"In accordance with the destiny of heaven, the emperor decreed that since ancient times, emperors have succeeded to the throne and established the emperor to govern the Huan region. They must establish the Yuan Chu and Mao Long kingdoms so that the Mian Zongshe can rest without borders..."

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi was shocked.

Is this to make Murong Heng the crown prince? !
