"She went to the Imperial Hospital and said that I had seized her prescriptions and even colluded with the Ninth Prince to testify for her. Now Imperial Doctor Qi is planning to report this to the Emperor and asked me to resign within a month to avoid embarrassing everyone!"

"Brother, what do you think I should do?"

This time, Shen Ci was really scared and unwilling to give in.

He stared at Shen Yu with bloodshot eyes.

If he leaves the Imperial Medical Bureau, he will no longer be qualified to enter the officialdom and can only open a small clinic outside to make a living.

But he is the son of the Prime Minister. Wouldn't it be a joke if he went out to see patients?

He couldn't accept such an ending!

Shen Yu was stunned when he heard this. "What did you say? Elder Qi asked you to resign? The Ninth Prince even spoke for her? When did she get close to the Ninth Prince?"

"I don't know. Who knows what she hooked up with."

Shen Ci almost cried, "Brother, I can't leave the Imperial Hospital. You and father must help me! Otherwise, I will have no face to stay in the capital."

Shen Yu took a long time to digest this matter, and then he had a headache. "If the Ninth Prince hadn't shown up, I would have gone to the Emperor to plead for mercy, which would have been helpful. But now, it's a bit troublesome."

His face is not enough to offset the weight of the Ninth Prince.

This matter requires long-term consideration.

"Sit down first and let me think about it."

Shen Yu pointed to the chair opposite.

Shen Ci was so angry that he couldn't sit down.

Thinking of the embarrassing moment just now, she felt so ashamed that she couldn't face anyone. Finally, she said angrily, "If it really doesn't work, ask father to find a way to send me out. At worst, I can go to Nanyan, Xiqin, or anywhere else! Otherwise, I will stay in the capital and be laughed at every day!"

His pale scholarly face now turned red with anger.

"I understand how you feel."

Shen Yu comforted him, "But there's no rush for this."

He reached out his hand and pulled the irritable Shen Ci to sit beside him, then analyzed: "You think, the emperor is afraid of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he used the excuse of taking care of me to let me take turns to rest all day long."

"Now, he just needs an opportunity to hit the Prime Minister's Mansion. If you make such a fuss, you will be giving your face to him to slap his father in the face."

"This is a chain reaction. It's not that simple. How could the emperor let you go back just because my father and I plead for you?"

At this point, she couldn't help but complain, "You guys are such a jerk. Why don't you think highly of Shen Ruyi? And you let her run into the palace and cause trouble?"

“Who could have thought of that?”

Shen Ci felt so wronged that he wanted to cry, "It was the Ninth Prince who brought her in!"

"But you know who the Ninth Prince is. Who would have thought that Shen Ruyi would be entangled with him?"

Shen Ci now understood that the Ninth Prince did not suddenly appear to help Shen Ruyi, but something was wrong with them before.

So he said, "Last night, the Ninth Prince ran into Shen Ruyi at the door and threw a warm jade to her. I thought the Ninth Prince was just in a whim, but I didn't expect him to show up again today."

Suddenly, he looked up at Shen Yu, "Brother, do you think he has a crush on Shen Ruyi?"

"Oh."

Shen Yu laughed, "If you say he wants to find an opportunity to take advantage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I believe him. Is he interested in Shen Ruyi?"

"Don't you see what kind of character she has? Is she worthy of the Ninth Prince? Even if the Ninth Prince is disabled, he is still the treasure of the Emperor, the Imperial Concubine, and the Empress Dowager!"

"A few days ago, the Queen Mother said that she would choose a virtuous woman from among the wives of officials above the third rank in the court to be the Ninth Prince's consort and take care of his daily life. Do you think Shen Ruyi looks like someone who can take care of others?"

"The Ninth Prince is different from the others."

Shen Yu shook his head, thinking that it was impossible for the Ninth Prince to fall in love with Shen Ruyi, and that he was more likely to threaten the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shen Ci was resentful of being bullied by the Ninth Prince, and didn't pay attention to Shen Yu's other words. He only focused on bullying the Ninth Prince and said with gritted teeth: "He is different from other princes."

"He is a cripple, so he needs to find someone who can be both a woman and a mother. Can Shen Ruyi do it?"

Shen Ci was so angry that he was gasping for breath.

"That being said, we still need to observe and see."

Shen Yu remained calm. "How about this, you go home first. I'll find a chance to go in with Elder Qi to test the emperor's attitude, and then I'll go home in the evening and discuss it with my father."

"The Ninth Prince is involved in this matter, so you must not act rashly."

Shen Yu said, and warned: "After you go back, you should first find Master Gu. Since the Ninth Prince may have set his sights on Shen Ruyi, let's stop him from thinking about it."

"What does big brother mean?" Shen Ci's eyes lit up.

As long as the Ninth Prince stopped interfering, wouldn't Shen Ruyi be easy to deal with? As long as he could throw the dirty water back on Shen Ruyi, he would have a chance to clear his name and return to the Imperial Hospital!

Shen Yu nodded, "You are a smart person, don't overdo it. After all, she is our sister and was originally engaged to Brother Gu... Once her relationship with Brother Gu is settled, even if the Ninth Prince is really interested in her, he will despise her for being dirty!"

Shen Ci nodded, said goodbye and left.

He saw hope in his heart again, so he walked quickly and left the palace in a short while.

When Shen Ruyi followed Rong Yan out, she happened to meet him.

Because he was facing the current emperor, Shen Ci had to bite the bullet and greet him, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince..."

Rong Yan chose to ignore him and didn't even look at him.

He just turned to Shen Ruyi and said, "It's cold and the road is slippery. I'll give you a ride."

Shen Ruyi became his junior sister inexplicably, and was unsure of what he meant for a moment, so she could only say thank you.

Rong Yan reached out and pulled her into the car.

The touch of skin was brief but it made one's heart beat faster.

Shen Ruyi blushed a little, and finally said, "Your Highness, I have an engagement."

Rong Yan looked at her and waited quietly for her to speak.

Shen Ruyi saw that he did not respond, nor did he show any special expression, so he continued, "But I did not do that willingly, and my fiancé has already secretly married my sister."

Rong Yan's expression eased a little, and he asked, "Does the girl have a lover?"

Shen Ruyi blushed and lowered her head. "Yes, but I am not worthy of him, and I don't ask for marriage. As long as I don't get entangled with Gu Qinghua, it will be enough."

Rong Yan wanted to ask her who her crush was, but was afraid that the answer he got would not be what he wanted, so he said, "If there is a suitable opportunity, I will help you."

It won’t be wrong to let Gu Qinghua go first.

"Does that count as using up the opportunity given by His Highness?"

Shen Ruyi raised her eyes. Although the girl tried her best to hide her thoughts, there were still clues left.
