Rong Yan laughed, "Not really, this time I took the initiative to say it."

"Your Highness is such a gentle person."

Although they didn't spend much time together, Shen Ruyi felt that she must have fallen in love with him.

She was a woman who had been devastated, with wounds all over her body and heart, unable to bear the tyranny of men. Rong Yan, who was gentle as jade and knew when to stop and know when to stop, was the easiest to warm her heart.

She knows what she wants.

Indeed, I was attracted to him.

This was the first time Rong Yan heard such praise, and his eyes couldn't help but look a little strange, "As long as the girl likes it."

Outside the car door, Han Jiang almost fell off his horse.

When it comes to his master being gentle, the eldest daughter of the Shen family is the first one.

One dares to speak, the other dares to admit.

They are a perfect match.

Shen Ruyi didn't understand the noise outside the door. Rong Yan heard it and knew what was going on, but pretended not to know.

The atmosphere in the car was so warm that it seemed like an illusion.

Even the heavy snow outside became romantic.

When they reached the fork in the road, Shen Ruyi didn't dare to bother them any more and said, "Your Highness, please let me go here."

“…Alright.”

The man nodded and watched her get off the car.

Although I was reluctant and the desire to possess her was stirring in my heart, I finally restrained myself.

"Today at the Imperial Hospital, thank you, Your Highness."

Shen Ruyi stood outside the car, still wearing coarse cloth clothes, but it couldn't hide her charming appearance.

Rong Yan looked at her and felt that what was falling outside was not snow, but thousands of pear blossoms falling one after another. Just one glance was like a thousand years.

"Goodbye."

Just two words contain countless hopes.

Shen Ruyi was somewhat happy. They still had a chance to meet again, as long as he went to his master to get prescriptions and she went to study medicine with his master.

Taking a deep breath, she turned and walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, and flowers bloomed in her dead heart.

Although it was the coldest time of the year, she felt as if she was recovering.

Rong Yan and Han Jiang watched her leave for a long time without moving.

"Your Highness, she has ruined Second Master Shen's career today and cut off the connection between the Prime Minister's Mansion, Concubine Li, and the Second Prince. I'm afraid she will have a hard time after she returns..."

Han Jiang said, glancing in the direction of the Golden Palace, "The Prime Minister will leave the court in a while."

Regardless of whether Shen Ruyi's move was just to get the prescription back, it actually harmed the interests of the Prime Minister's Office.

Family interests come first, Shen Cangyun will not let her go.

Neither does Shen Yu.

Han Jiang was a little worried.

The gentleness on Rong Yan's face was completely restrained. In his cold eyes, there was only endless sharpness and overwhelming pressure. His voice seemed to be frozen. "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion later and give this to her."

As he spoke, he took out a rosewood box from his arms and handed it to Han Jiang.

Han Jiang was shocked, "Your Highness wants to give this to her?"

The things in the box are of extraordinary significance, but they are not something that ordinary people can possess or deserve.

“This is for her.”

Rong Yan didn't react much, "It will be hers sooner or later, it's the same even if I give it to her in advance."

Han Jiang's expression changed when he heard this.

It seems that in his master's heart, Shen Ruyi means much more than he imagined.

But, if this is the case...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, since you are interested in Miss Shen, and I think Miss Shen should like you, if you express your feelings, she will definitely not refuse. Why didn't you say it?"

Rong Yan was silent for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, it's not the right time yet."

Firstly, Shen Ruyi was engaged, and if he showed it too obviously, it would be easy for her to be blamed.

Secondly, he wanted to be absolutely sure and didn't want to be rejected by her.

Although he vaguely felt that the sweetheart she was talking about was himself.

But what if it’s not?

This time, he won't do anything without confidence.

Even if you have to take things by force, you must proceed step by step, not be reckless, and not retreat.

But when he heard Han Jiang say that Shen Ruyi liked him, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood, Han Jiang couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, when did you... start thinking about the eldest daughter of the Shen family?"

Rong Yan did not respond to him.

…

Not long after Shen Ruyi returned to Xifengyuan, Cui Yu came to see her.

"Miss, the Prime Minister wants you to come over."

She stood at the door, looking at Shen Ruyi with eyes that contained a hint of hatred and gloating, just waiting to see how Shen Ruyi would get into trouble.

Shen Ruyi had expected this scene a long time ago. She glanced at her without saying anything and went straight to find Shen Cangyun.

But when he arrived at the gate of Shen Cangyun's courtyard, he was stopped by someone.

"Miss, the Prime Minister asked you to wait outside." The person who came out was Nanny Yang, who was beside Shen Cangyun and was currently serving Shen Jiaojiao.

She said this stiffly and turned to walk in.

He also locked the door from the inside.

Shen Ruyi looked at the closed door and smiled coldly.

In her previous life, Shen Cangyun had treated her like this: he called her over and left her outside the door, forcing her to panic and beg for forgiveness. Then he made her swallow all the charges that were not hers before he would truly forgive her and give her a sweet date.

She had experienced the same routine dozens of times.

But she doesn't buy into this anymore.

Shen Ruyi glanced at the door, turned around and left.

…

Study room in the courtyard.

Shen Cangyun, Shen Yu, Shen Ci, and Shen Jiaojiao were talking, and their faces did not look very good.

"The matter of the Imperial Hospital has been reported to the Emperor. I just met with the Emperor, and he agreed with Doctor Qi's opinion and asked my second brother to resign."

Shen Yu said, looking at Shen Cangyun with a heavy expression, "Father, the emperor has already spoken. It is difficult to let my second brother go back with ordinary reasons."

"There is only one possibility."

Shen Cangyun was furious after hearing this and said angrily: "This rebellious girl should not have been released from the woodshed!"

After scolding Shen Ruyi, he panted and said to Shen Yu, "You say."

Shen Yu nodded and continued to express his opinion, "Only Ruyi was willing to personally admit her mistake to the emperor, saying that she had deceived the Ninth Prince. She had given those prescriptions to my second brother, and she also agreed to my second brother sending the prescriptions to the Imperial Hospital."

"The scene in the Imperial Hospital today was just because I was embarrassed by my apology to Jiaojiao yesterday, so I deliberately made trouble for my second brother."

"Only then can the Emperor allow my second brother to return to the Imperial Hospital."

"Let's go and apologize to the Ninth Prince. Even if this matter is over, we won't really offend him."

Shen Yu said, looking at Shen Cangyun, "When the time comes, even if the emperor is angry, at most he will just throw Ruyi into the laundry department for a few months, but the laundry department will be a bit harsh, and she will have to suffer a little."

"He wouldn't really kick my second brother out of the Imperial Hospital just because of a little girl's farce. That would be too petty."

Shen Cangyun nodded continuously, "That's a good idea."

Shen Jiaojiao was secretly delighted.

But on the surface, she still tugged at Shen Yu's sleeve with worry, and persuaded him: "If you want to suffer, then why not give it up? I'm afraid the people in the laundry department will bully my sister."
