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

Several apprentices inside were busy collecting medicinal materials. When they saw her coming, they immediately said.

"This girl, what medicine do you want?"

"Where's your shopkeeper?"

Hearing this, a middle-aged man opposite who was adjusting the abacus looked up.

Seeing Shen Ruoxi's pure appearance and gentle temperament, her expression became a little gentle at the moment.

"Girl looking for me?"

"Shopkeeper, I just heard that the official came to check the account book you gave to Marquis Wu Ding. I have something to ask the shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Lu narrowed his eyes instantly.

"What is the girl asking?"

"Don't worry, shopkeeper. I'm quite familiar with Mrs. Wu Dinghou personally. She asked me to come over. She knows that this matter has nothing to do with the shopkeeper. I'm here this time just for some details that I want to confirm with the shopkeeper."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Lu hesitated for a moment and then said.

"You said."

"The medicine given to the prince by the doctor Du Yishan was said to be obtained from you. Did Du Yishan come here personally to obtain it?"

"That's not true. Dr. Du has trouble with his legs and feet, so others have been coming to get medicine."

Shen Ruoxi asked.

"Really? What does the person who takes the medicine look like? Shopkeeper, can you describe his appearance?"

Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Lu shrugged.

"The people who come to get the medicine are different every time. I remember this clearly. But judging from their appearance, there is nothing strange. They should be Doctor Du's apprentices..."

Having said this, Shopkeeper Lu paused and then said.

"But one time the person who came to get medicine was a little unusual."

Shen Ruoxi was confused.

"Why is it unusual?"

"The person who came that time was a very handsome young man. His words and deeds were very gentle and elegant. He didn't look like an ordinary young man, but more like a descendant of a noble family, so I was deeply impressed."

Shen Ruoxi said.

"Is that young man about eleven or twelve years old? He is handsome and has a mole under his right eye?"

"Ah, yes, yes, does the girl know him?"

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi nodded.

Then asked.

"He came here to get medicine. Did he do anything unusual?"

Shopkeeper Lu thought for a while.

"That's not true. The young man was polite, careful and smart. He even urged us to keep a good record of the accounts. The person who brought him medicine that day was a new apprentice. A few red peony roots were missing. He reminded me."

The shopkeeper was a little puzzled.

"Girl, why are you asking this?"

"It's okay, thank you shopkeeper for telling me frankly."

Shen Ruoxi smiled and then went out with Tao Ye and Leng Shuang.

As soon as she went out, she quickly got into the carriage.

"Leng Shuang, turn around and go back to the Marquis Mansion!"

*

Hou House.

The sky is dark.

There was silence in the secluded courtyard of the backyard.

There were only two candles, flickering with faint light.

A figure stepped through the night and gently came to the backyard.

With a "squeak" sound.

The door to the backyard woodshed was opened.

A faint light came through, alarming the people in the woodshed.

Xu Lingmiao raised her head in embarrassment and tensed her nerves.

"Who?!"

The door is closed.

Then a candle was lit in the woodshed.

Qin Wenyan's delicate and calm face appeared in the light.

Xu Lingmiao looked happy.

"Classical Chinese..."

"Mother."

Qin Wenyan walked towards her and squatted down.

Xu Lingmiao said anxiously.

"Wen Yan, did Madam say let me out?"

Qin Wenyan didn't answer.

But the Tao.

"Mom, thank you very much for taking care of all my faults today."

Xu Lingmiao was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes turned slightly red.

she sobbed.

"Wen Yan, I have told you a long time ago not to harm the prince. We and I can live a good life in the Marquis Mansion, okay? The prince is so kind to you and you are so smart. Sooner or later you will become famous..."

"That's different."

Qin Wenyan interrupted her: "Mother, the prince is the prince after all, and I am just a young cousin with an empty reputation. What will happen in the future depends entirely on the charity of the Wuding Hou Mansion. I am obviously Qin Jun's son, why is my treatment so bad? big!"

Xu Lingmiao lowered her eyes, a trace of sadness overflowing from her eyes.

"It's all my fault...I shouldn't have done that kind of thing when the Marquis was drunk. I was the one who caused you to become an illegitimate child..."

"It's indeed your fault, so, mother, it's your duty to bear the blame for me today."

Hearing this, Xu Lingmiao's face turned pale.

In her heart, she felt sorry for Qin Wenyan.

But when she heard him personally blaming her, she still shivered with chills.

"But mother, I really didn't expect that you would commit yourself to that cripple Du Yishan."

Qin Wenyan's eyes flashed with disgust.

Xu Lingmiao whispered.

"At that time, he found out that the prince was poisoned, and he wanted to tell the madam. I was afraid that if the madam found out, you would be in danger, so..."

"I know my mother is doing it for my own good, I just don't deserve it for my mother."

"For you, everything is worth it."

Xu Lingmiao grabbed his hand: "Fortunately, Du Yishan didn't say anything today. Wen Yan, just be fine!"

Qin Wenyan sneered.

"I've seen him look at you before when he entered the house. I thought he was just looking for sex, but I didn't expect that he was really moved. Is he worthy of his appearance? It's really disgusting."

Xu Lingmiao said nothing.

Just thinking of all the ways Du Yishan protected her today, a tinge of confusion flashed through her heart.

she whispered.

"Actually, Doctor Du...is not a bad person either."

"Do you feel sorry for him?"

"No."

Xu Lingmiao shook her head.

She just feels...

I feel that Du Yishan is also a pitiful person.

Xu Lingmiao sighed.

"Now that Madam has let me go, you are safe and sound. Wen Yan, please don't have any evil thoughts in the future. Just stay in Wudinghou Mansion and let's live a good life, okay?"

"I really shouldn't have those evil thoughts at the moment."

Hearing this, Xu Lingmiao felt relieved.

But then I heard Qin Wenyan say: "I should plan more carefully in the future. Now it seems that I am still too immature. I'm afraid I will let that noble man down."

Qin Wenyan's handsome face had a gloomy look that was inconsistent with his age.

He calculated very well at the time. Once Qin Chengxuan died, the crown prince's position would be vacant, and he would have an excellent opportunity.

Moreover, it can also be used to throw the blame on Shen Ruoxi, sow discord between the General's Palace and Wudinghou's Palace, and add fuel to the flames for that "nobleman".

As a result, Shen Ruoxi didn't know why, so she came quietly.

All his plans failed.

Xu Lingmiao frowned.

"Wen Yan, now that things have come to this, tell your mother the truth. Who is the 'noble man' you hooked up with?"

"Mom, you don't need to know about this. As the saying goes, to become a king or lose a bandit, you must take great risks to achieve great things. I don't want to live like this and depend on others. Mom, I must fight for the position of the heir apparent."

"Classical Chinese..."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Xu Lingmiao felt a little anxious: "You were lucky enough to escape today, but you don't have such good luck every time. Just be obedient and stay peacefully in the Hou Mansion. My mother will always be by your side." of."

Qin Wenyan seemed to have heard something funny.

"Mom, have you been stimulated and become stupid? Now you are the murderer of the prince, how can you continue to stay in the Hou Mansion?"
