Looking at each other for a long time without saying a word, Si Ruihan lowered his hands and looked away gradually, until the slight knock on the door behind him brought him back to his thoughts.

When Si Ruihan turned his head, he saw Zhou Nianci closing the door carefully, and he walked over a few steps, "Brother, the emperor is a little tired and has already fallen asleep."

Si Ruihan nodded slightly, and didn't enter the door in a hurry. Instead, he turned around and looked into the distance silently. Zhou Nianci pursed his lips, "What's bothering you, brother?"

Si Ruihan slightly raised his chin, "How do you think this palace wall is dense?"

Zhou Nianci restrained her expression, "Too many rules, too many calculations, too many plots."

Si Ruihan turned his head when he heard the words, "Tomorrow morning, go out of the palace with the token and go back to Zhou's house."

Zhou Nianci shook his head, "Although this is the case, I still hope to stay here."

"Why?"

"Because, here's what I need to do."

As he said that, Zhou Nianci sighed, "Brother, there is something I have not said all this time, but now the time is ripe, and it is time to tell you."

Si Ruihan frowned slightly, and Zhou Nianci said, "The poison that my brother had in the past has not been completely eradicated until now. Have you ever thought about the reason for this?"

"The toxicity is overbearing, the poison is so deep, it's a fluke to survive." Si Ruihan said.

"Toxicity is indeed overbearing, but it is not the most poisonous in the world. The reason why it cannot be eradicated is because the time was delayed when removing the poison, and the person who removed the poison had reservations about the medicine. In short, someone did it on purpose." Zhou Nianci said deeply. Said loudly.

Si Ruihan's fingers on his side trembled slightly, "The person who detoxified back then was the genius doctor Lin Qingyan, and he claimed to be able to snatch people from the hands of the king of Hades."

"Brother, you know that Lin Qingyan has lived in seclusion in the mountains since he was treated, and has not treated anyone since then," Zhou Nianci said.

"Brother, I know that Lin Qingyan didn't go out for a wandering trip back then, and he had already entered Beijing half a month ago."

Si Ruihan heard that the pupils in his eyes shrank slightly. When he was poisoned, the Wen family sent people to find a genius doctor, but it took a day before the genius doctor was able to enter the palace because he was out wandering.

Thinking of this, Si Ruihan closed his eyes, raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows, Zhou Nianci stepped forward to give him a hand, "Brother."

"Remember not to spread this matter to outsiders. It should only be a secret between you and me, and no third person should know about it." Si Ruihan said in a deep voice.

"The emperor can't tell?" Zhou Nianci asked.

Si Ruihan sighed, and suddenly remembered Xiao Jingyuan's various attitudes towards Wen Chengxian, "Don't say anything."

After Zhou Nianci left, Si Ruihan opened the door and walked into the room. The room was lighted with a touch of incense, the smell was mild and elegant, and he walked slowly to the bedside.

At this moment, Xiao Jingyuan was lying on the bed with his brows furrowed tightly, and he could still smell a little bloody smell when he got close. Si Ruihan looked at his face silently, recalling bits and pieces of his previous life in his mind.

In a daze, he stretched out his hand and touched the other person's face, but he was held abruptly, and his eyes met. Both of them stared at each other without looking away from each other.

"Having a nightmare?" Si Ruihan asked.

"I dreamed that you left me."

"If I really leave, will the emperor look for it?" Si Ruihan asked.

"Are you leaving?"

Si Ruihan was silent for a moment when he heard this question, "The emperor is tired, and the minister ordered the small kitchen to prepare meals, do you want to get up and use them?"

Xiao Jingyuan held his hand tightly, put it to his lips and kissed, "Ruihan, don't leave me."

Si Ruihan's gaze stayed on his fingertips, "I am the emperor's queen, where else can I go besides the emperor's side."

Xiao Jingyuan's gaze met Si Ruihan's, "Let's have dinner."

After finishing the simple meal, Xiao Jingyuan left Teng Hui Pavilion, and Si Ruihan stood silently for a moment, "Fu Ling, take a coat."

Yunhua Palace

When Si Ruihan came, Wang Junyan was lowering his head and writing something, while Wen Chengxian sat aside and glanced at it from time to time, and raised his brows slightly when he saw Si Ruihan enter the door.

"Father's queen." Si Ruihan sat aside after saluting.

"It's just in time. Wang Shijun is transcribing Buddhist scriptures. Let's see how it goes." Wen Chengxian asked.

Hearing this, Si Ruihan walked over, casually picked up a piece of written writing and looked at it, "The brushwork is vigorous and powerful, very strong."

"The minister thanked the queen for his praise." Wang Junyan said with a low eyebrow.

"Your Majesty is a world-renowned talent, to be praised by him shows that the writing is really good." Wen Chengxian said as he flipped the tea lid.

"Speaking of which, the character of the queen is the teacher of the old prime minister."

"Exactly. When I was young, I learned calligraphy from my grandfather." Si Ruihan said.

Wen Chengxian nodded, "I thought about marrying the young lady of the prime minister's mansion in spring, but I didn't expect that the emperor would take the lead. In the final analysis, the emperor still loves people."

Si Ruihan's eyes flickered slightly, "The lady of the prime minister's mansion has reached the age of marriage, and the emperor left the palace in modest clothes. He happened to meet Liu Changyun, the son of the Minister of Justice, and the two met and got married."

Wen Chengxian glanced at him, "So, the old prime minister is also satisfied with this engagement."

"This marriage is the emperor's order, so grandfather is naturally satisfied." Si Ruihan said.

Wen Chengxian nodded, "There is a young lady in the prime minister's mansion who was sent out of the city early in the morning. Why?"

"The third lady of the prime minister's mansion is the daughter of the concubine Han's family in the mansion. The Han family has been a little crazy in recent years, and often does things that do not follow the rules. My grandfather was kind enough to keep them in the mansion, but she accidentally bumped into them yesterday. Because of this, my grandfather ordered her to be sent out of the mansion, and the third miss felt that her mother was not easy, so she voluntarily accompanied her. Although my grandfather was reluctant to part with her, he couldn't bear to separate them, so he let them leave together." Si Ruihan said flatly.

Wen Chengxian tapped his fingers on the chair lightly, and chuckled for a long time, "The old prime minister really put his heart and soul into it. With his daughter by his side, he really feels at ease."

"Cough cough." Si Ruihan raised his hand to cover his lips and coughed a few times.

An ink dot appeared on the paper after Wang Junyan's hand paused, his brows and eyes trembled for a while, and he gathered the half-written paper into a ball and hid it in his sleeve.

"Why did you suddenly cough?"

Si Ruihan sighed softly, and Fu Ling handed over the tea on the table, and he took a sip, "My son's body has always been like this, with good times and bad times, presumably it's because of the continuous spring rain these past few days, which induced old diseases .”

"Speaking of which, it is thanks to my father's empress that I was able to survive by chance. I will never forget this great kindness." Si Ruihan said flatly.

Wen Chengxian's eyes flickered slightly, "If it wasn't for the emperor back then, how could you have been poisoned? Saving you is not only the idea of ​​this palace, but also the intention of the former emperor."

"My son only did what he was supposed to do back then." Si Ruihan said flatly.

After sitting for a while, Si Ruihan got up to leave, Wen Chengxian said that he was tired and asked Wang Junyan to leave with the queen, and Wang Junyan followed Si Ruihan out of Yunhua Palace.

"The queen is not feeling well?" Wang Junyan and Si Ruihan followed a few steps apart.

"Old illnesses, there's nothing wrong with them." Si Ruihan said.

"It was the servant's fault that day, and the servant should not have jumped at the queen." Wang Junyan said.

"If you really want to be favored by the emperor, you really shouldn't do that. After all, you might risk your own life. But if you do that, it can only prove what answer you want." Si Ruihan said calmly .

Wang Junyan lowered her head slightly, "What the servants do is all tricks, the queen has already seen through it."

"Although the Wang family is gradually declining now, it doesn't need to sacrifice their children and grandchildren to seek status. You asked to enter the palace yourself." Si Ruihan said.

"Oh, the queen knows even this." Wang Junyan said in frustration.

"What did the Empress Dowager promise you?" Si Ruihan asked.

"Nothing." Wang Junyan said.

Si Ruihan shook his head slightly, "Sure enough, if you mentioned something, the Empress Dowager may not trust you so much. Instead, you can get what you want without wanting anything."

"The queen thinks, what does the minister want?" Wang Junyan asked, with a little hope in his eyes.

"You said it yourself, the emperor's favor." Si Ruihan said.

"If I wish, I should fight hard when I enter the palace, instead of being silent." Wang Junyan said firmly.

Si Ruihan stopped walking when he heard the words, "Then put away your thoughts, I can cover it up for you once, but I won't do it a second time, you can do it yourself."

After saying that, Si Ruihan strode forward, Wang Junyan stood there silently watching his back, the paper in his sleeve was tightly clenched, just like his heart.

Minister of Justice

"Father's current practice is to bet the entire Liu family without thinking about the future of the child?" Liu Changyun asked, standing opposite Liu Guan.

"Presumptuous." Liu Guan suddenly patted the table and panted.

"Father, Cao Xin committed the serious crime of ransacking his family and exterminating his family. Covering him is equivalent to pushing the Liu family into a fire pit. Now Cao Xin's whereabouts are unknown, and you are imprisoned at home. Is this the result father wants?" Liu Changyun said in a deep voice. asked.

"What do you know, even though it's like this now, it won't be long before things will turn around." Liu Guan said with narrowed eyes.

Liu Changyun was about to say something, but Liu Guan waved his hand, "Go back to your room."

Hearing that Liu Changyun flicked his sleeves and left, Liu Guan raised his head slightly and took a deep breath. Things will always turn around, as long as...

Imperial study room

"Your Majesty, Su E, the maid in charge of the Imperial Concubine's Palace, is asking to see you." Li Fu said as he bowed close to Xiao Jingyuan.

Xiao Jingyuan raised his eyebrows, "Xuan."

"See Your Majesty."

"Get up." Xiao Jingyuan raised his eyes to look at her after speaking, "Why did the imperial concubine ask you to come?"

"Back to the emperor, the emperor was poisoned a few days ago and the empress dowager prayed day and night, hoping for the emperor's early health. Now that the emperor is recovering, the empress dowager misses the emperor even more, so I asked the servants to come and ask, the emperor will go to the dowager palace tonight Dinner?" Su E said carefully.
