Shen Ruyi turned her head and looked inside the Gu family's gate. "Cause and effect, this is the reason why I came here today."

It's just retribution from the previous life.

Doctor Qi froze for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he was a little confused, but then he changed his mind and nodded, "The young lady is in a clear state of mind. The prescription is a good thing, and I will not refuse it. If someone uses this prescription to recover in the future, it will be a good fate for the young lady."

Shen Ruyi bowed and said goodbye to him.

After Doctor Qi left, Shen Ruyi looked at Rong Yan and said, "I'm sorry to have caused trouble for you today."

Originally, all that was needed was to tear up the marriage certificate.

Who knew that the Second Prince would get involved and eventually drag Rong Yan into the water. Shen Ruyi felt somewhat sorry.

Rong Yan felt only distressed when he looked at her.

He couldn't help but hold her hand and said, "Ruyi, I am attracted to you. Under such circumstances, I should stand up. As long as you don't think I am being abrupt, you will be very lucky."

He couldn't imagine how terrible it was for a little girl like her to face the power that turned right into wrong.

No wonder she died so miserably in her previous life.

But this time he is here, "As long as you don't despise me, I will always be behind you."

Never let the mistakes of the past be repeated.

"Ruyi is lucky in three lives."

Shen Ruyi smiled and said sincerely, "Ruyi is blessed by His Highness, I am so happy."

A feeling of sadness welled up in my heart.

There were tears in her eyes, which seemed too bright.

"That's good. I'll take you back."

Rong Yan raised the corner of his mouth, got on the carriage first, and then handed his hand to her, "Ruyi, get in."

Shen Ruyi nodded, and with his help, she got into the carriage.

"With the Gu family making such a fuss today, the court will be in chaos. With the Prime Minister's attitude, it may be troublesome for you to leave the Shen family. He will most likely not let you go."

Rong Yan frowned, "Just give me some time, I'll find a way."

Shen Ruyi nodded, "I know this is not easy."

Northern Qi ruled the world with filial piety. As long as Shen Cangyun was unwilling, she could not leave the Shen family. Even the emperor could not order his subjects and daughters to sever their relationship, as that would cause criticism from the people.

Shen Ruyi only hoped that today's incident had offended the father and son of the Shen family thoroughly. It would be best if she could be kicked out.

If Shen Cangyun still holds on to it, it will be really troublesome.

Rong Yan knew her grievances and added, "But after this, the Prime Minister can no longer decide your marriage, which is a good thing."

Shen Ruyi nodded, a little worried about Rong Yan, "Your Highness, will it cause you any trouble by helping me today?"

In her previous life, she didn't know much about what happened in the court. However, with several princes fighting for the throne and the ever-changing situation in the court, one could be doomed if one was not careful. Even though Shen Ruyi had little contact with the situation, she could imagine the danger just from hearsay.

"I am not afraid of trouble."

Rong Yan gently put his arm around her shoulders, signaling her to take a nap, "I can handle the affairs of the court."

In his previous life, he hid his incompetence and did not expect that a trip out would lead to a disaster when he returned. Now he knows that the opportunity is important and he will not miss it again.

The tip of the iceberg has been exposed today, and the other princes will definitely not give up. Even if his father is in the palace, he will definitely test it a bit. But this time he will not retreat even a single step.

Even in the midst of blood and gore, he would protect her.

Shen Ruyi wanted to ask when he fell in love with her.

Just as he was about to speak, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked the carriage. "Your Highness, His Majesty urgently summons you to the palace!"

The person who came was Wuying, one of the Thirteen Shadow Guards. His face looked extremely solemn. It was obvious that the matter of the Shangshu Mansion had already reached the palace. The Emperor was not happy about it and might even be furious.

The emperor's mind is hard to predict.

No one knows what this summons will bring.

Shen Ruyi was worried about Rong Yan and subconsciously grabbed his hand, "Your Highness, will you be okay?"

"meeting."

Rong Yan looked at her, with undercurrents in his eyes and a serious look.

There were tears in Shen Ruyi's eyes, but she could do nothing about it.

She could only get off the carriage and bowed to Rong Yan, "Then I'll take my leave. I wish Your Highness all the best."

"Hanjiang, send Ruyi back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Rong Yan was somewhat reluctant to leave her.

However, the current situation does not allow him to take her away, so he can only endure it temporarily, "Don't worry about me."

Shen Ruyi nodded, her eyes a little red.

How can I not worry?

Such a big thing happened today, it will definitely bring him trouble. This road is really difficult. She can't imagine whether she can escape from the Gu family unscathed without him today.

Rong Yan's carriage went to the palace.

Han Jiang called a new carriage to send Shen Ruyi back.

Shen Ruyi couldn't help but ask Han Jiang, "Han Jiang, for what happened today...will the emperor blame you?"

Hanjiang can't guarantee it.

He was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe, maybe not. Your Highness has been hiding his incompetence over the years, so the Emperor can use him with confidence and ease. The other princes don't take him seriously either."

"But after this, the opinions of the entire court, both civil and military, about your highness will change dramatically. Even if your highness cannot ascend the throne, he will still be a powerful minister. Whether it is the emperor or anyone else who will succeed him in the future, it will be difficult for them to allow an uncontrollable prince to remain in the court."

"But," Han Jiang turned his head and glanced at Shen Ruyi, "His Highness is not that easy to control. Miss Shen doesn't need to worry too much."

Shen Ruyi raised her eyes and met his gaze.

Seeing the determination in his eyes, I felt a little relieved and nodded.

The carriage went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After walking a few steps, Han Jiang asked again, "Now the trouble is with you, young lady. Today you slapped the prime minister in the face and ruined everything he had carefully planned. He will definitely take his anger out on you. I'm afraid there will be another storm tonight."

"Come on, then."

Shen Ruyi took a deep breath and narrowed her eyes slightly.

She was afraid that Shen Cangyun would not let go.

That would be too troublesome.

She didn't want to be trapped to death in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Han Jiang asked her, "Shen Jiaojiao and you... who is the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Are you, or is she? Or, are you both?"

He also felt that Shen Cangyun had completely different attitudes towards Shen Ruyi and Shen Jiaojiao.

Shen Ruyi couldn't help but let out a hint of sarcasm when she talked about this. "In the beginning, I was the only daughter of the Shen family. In the past year, Shen Jiaojiao has become my twin sister. A few days ago, they secretly took blood and tested my blood relationship. I became the daughter of the midwife again. Only Shen Jiaojiao is the daughter of Shen Cangyun."

Han Jiang was stunned, "Did you do a blood test to test your kinship?"

"Shen Jiaojiao bribed the imperial physician..."

Shen Ruyi sighed, "If Shen Cangyun refuses to let go, I plan to use this as an excuse."

She must leave the Prime Minister's Mansion.

If Shen Cangyun is unwilling, then she can only use Shen Jiaojiao.

She believed that Shen Jiaojiao would definitely be willing to help her. After all, if she stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it would only do harm to Shen Jiaojiao and no good. Moreover, if she left, Shen Jiaojiao and the Third Prince would be more likely to attack her.

Shen Ruyi already had a new plan in mind.
