If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

"There is really no other way. We can only report His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's identity to the Emperor. It is better for the two countries to negotiate than to implicate Lu Yuan now." Ruan said in a deep voice.

Fu Jinyi stood up and said, "Then I will go to the palace."

"Don't be impatient." Shen Sui'an stopped Fu Jinyi, "How are you going to enter the palace when you are alone and have no messengers or guards to protect you?"

"Since Lu Yuan has obtained the emperor's consent to confine you to your home, you should follow his arrangements first."

"What about the Gong family..." Ruan was very worried.

If Gong Zhenglang never wakes up, and Fu Jinyi reveals his identity at that time, this matter will not be resolved peacefully.

Shen Suian had seen Gong Zhenglang yesterday. Even though she didn't know medicine, she could tell that Gong Zhenglang didn't seem to be seriously injured. Why would he vomit blood after returning?

"The emperor has already asked Doctor Zhou to go to the Gong family. I will go to the clinic to ask Doctor Zhou for clarification later." Shen Sui'an said.

Fu Jinyi's face was filled with shame, "I should have been more patient."

Shen Sui'an comforted him, "This matter is aimed at your brother, it has nothing to do with you."

The Gong family had an old grudge against Lu Yuan. She knew that Lu Yuan had not given up investigating the Taifu Temple's concealment of horse tax and privately withholding horse money over the years.

As for Concubine Xian, she went to the Yangxin Palace to sue Lu Yuan.

Shen Sui'an was not very worried.

Since Concubine Yao learned that Concubine Xian was behind the Guangning incident, Concubine Xian was no longer the person she needed to deal with.

Ruan said, "I'll go back and ask the Third Master if he has any other news."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, be obedient and don't go out again. You don't understand the situation in the capital, so as not to cause trouble for your brother again." Ruan warned Fu Jinyi.

Fu Jinyi immediately said, "I won't go out. I'll stay in the room obediently."

Shen Sui'an nodded to Ruan, and the two left the room.

After saying goodbye to Ruan, Shen Sui'an also had someone harness a carriage to go to Zhou Zhou's clinic.

The clinic was closed today. Cheng Zhiyun was drying medicine in the corridor, while He Xianghuan was reading a book next to her.

It is a rare opportunity for mother and son to enjoy this warm moment.

"Sister Cheng." Shen Suian said softly.

Cheng Zhiyun looked up at her and smiled softly, "Sui Sui is here."

"Zhou Zhou went out early in the morning and I don't know when he will be back."

Shen Sui'an said, "I'll wait for him here."

She reached out and rubbed He Xianghuan's head, "Brother Huan seems to have grown taller."

"Sister Shen." He Xianghuan called her obediently.

Cheng Zhiyun: "You should call her Aunt Shen."

He Xianghuan bowed to Shen Sui'an like a little adult, "Aunt Shen."

Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "Brother Huan looks a little more rosy."

Indeed, ever since He Hongkui replaced the people serving him, He Xianghuan no longer suffered from minor illnesses from time to time, and his wheezing disease did not recur.

Cheng Zhiyun let her son read in the courtyard, and she and Shen Sui'an went to the pavilion nearby to make tea.

"Sui Sui, has something happened?" Zhou Zhou was in a hurry when he went out today. He only said that it was related to Commander Lu, and she had no time to ask more questions.

"It's not a big deal." Shen Sui'an didn't want her to worry, "We have to wait for Doctor Zhou to come back to find out."

Shen Sui'an didn't have to wait long. After noon, Zhou Zhou came back.

Seeing how tired he looked, Cheng Zhiyun hurried forward and took his medicine box.

"Haven't you eaten yet? The food is still warming up in the kitchen. I'll get it for you."

Zhou Zhou glanced at Shen Sui'an, smiled and nodded to Cheng Zhiyun, "Okay."

Shen Sui'an asked him in a low voice, "Is he dead?"

"No, but it's very dangerous. His internal organs are seriously injured and he is vomiting blood. I will give him acupuncture and medicine. If he can wake up tomorrow, his life will be safe." Zhou Zhou said in a deep voice.

"There are three imperial doctors on duty. His pulse is stable for now."

Shen Sui'an asked in surprise, "I saw him yesterday, and he didn't look like he was seriously injured."

"I checked the wounds on his body. The final wound was on his chest. It was a footprint." Zhou Zhou said calmly.

"The Dali Temple has summoned all those who fought with Gong Zhenglang yesterday to compare their footprints, but none of them match. The wound on Gong Zhenglang's chest was not caused by Lu Yuan's men."

Shen Sui'an finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"It's just..." Zhou Zhou was silent for a moment, "The Minister of the Imperial Household still insisted that it was Lu Yuan's fault."

The Minister of the Imperial Household was Gong Feng, the younger brother of Concubine Xian.

He and Lu Yuan have an old grudge.

Shen Sui'an thanked Zhou Zhou, "Doctor Zhou, thank you very much, and please do your best to save Gong Zhenglang's life."

If I were to die, this wouldn't be the time.

She left the clinic in a hurry again. Lu Yuan being imprisoned in the Dali Temple was such a serious matter, she had to go to the Shen family first to tell the old man, otherwise he would definitely be worried.

Old Master Shen was very calm.

He also analyzed Lu Yuan's current situation with Shen Sui'an.

"If the emperor wanted to take action against Lu Yuan, he would not have sent him to the Dali Temple." Old Master Shen said in a low voice.

"Xie Changyu went to the border for a year and came back a few days ago. The first thing he did was to see the emperor. The emperor wants to investigate the Ministry of War. The biggest problem of the Ministry of War is at the Imperial Household Department."

Shen Suian was stunned. She didn't know that Xie Changyu had returned to Beijing.

"When the Imperial Household Department was investigated, I was the one who supported it. The Emperor also summoned me to the palace this time. Otherwise, an old man like me who has retired would not know so much."

"Lu Yuan didn't tell you, that's right."

"Grandfather, the one who fought with Gong Zhenglang this time was Lu Yuan's younger brother." Shen Sui'an said softly.

Old Master Shen's expression straightened up, "You know Lu Yuan's background?"

"Yes." Shen Suian nodded slightly, and she revealed the secret that Lu Yuan was the prince of the Southern Dynasty.

She had a vague feeling that Lu Yuan's life story could not be kept secret for long.

I told my grandfather first, so I would have someone to discuss it with.

There was a hint of worry in Old Master Shen's eyes, and his tone was full of pity for the younger generation, "Lu Yuan...has suffered a lot of misfortunes."

"The current emperor of the Southern Dynasty is not a wise ruler, and the country is still stable today. If he had another queen, the Southern Dynasty might not be as stable as it is today." Old Master Shen said in a deep voice.

When he was young, the two countries were not on good terms, and he specifically learned about the situation in the Southern Dynasty.

"Sui Sui, it is rumored that the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty is ill. Lu Yuan will definitely have to go back in the future. The obstacles you will face will be more than in Shangjing City. Aren't you afraid?" asked Old Master Shen.

Shen Sui'an lowered his eyes: "I am afraid that I have to face it. He was abandoned since he was a child, but he was able to walk step by step through hardships to where he is today. I believe that even if he goes to the Southern Dynasty, he will not be easily defeated."

"Grandfather, I will accompany him."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Shen nodded slightly and said, "You should go back first. Don't panic. Believe that Lu Yuan can turn the danger into safety."

"Grandfather, I want to go to the Dali Temple to see Lu Yuan." Shen Sui'an said.

"The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple is from the Yao family and will give face to you and Lu Yuan." said Old Master Shen.

Shen Sui'an went home and cooked the meal himself, then went to the Dali Temple with the food box.

As expected, the Dali Temple did not make things difficult for her and politely took her to see Lu Yuan.
