Ruyi felt embarrassed by what she said and quickly changed the subject, "It's good that the antidote works. I'll write you a prescription and you can follow it, one in the morning and one in the evening."

Having said that, he quickly went to get a prescription.

Mu Rushuang leaned against the door and looked at her with a smile, "Don't worry, we won't separate you and Brother."

“…”

Ruyi blushed, "Hey, this is the prescription."

Hurry up and use the prescription to shut Mu Rushuang's mouth.

Mu Rushuang was somewhat happy, "In the future in the palace, we will take care of each other, and you will be my real sister from now on."

"OK."

Ruyi talked to her for a while.

Mu Rushuang talked about the palace and said seriously, "Early this morning, news came from the palace that Minister Gu and Gu Qinghua were sent to a secret prison after entering the palace. It is estimated that they will not be able to get out."

Ruyi knew about this at night, and she asked, "Do Concubine Li and the Second Prince know about this?"

Mu Rushuang shook her head. "Concubine Li and the Second Prince are still at the Gu family cemetery. With Eunuch Yang watching them, they dare not act rashly. In addition, the news from the palace has not spread yet. They should still be waiting for a reply from the Gu family."

"It's the Gu family who are very anxious early in the morning."

"When I came over, Gu Qingyun was standing at the gate, looking in the direction of the prison. I guess he was confused and didn't know why Minister Gu hadn't come back after going to the prison."

Ruyi pondered these words, "Your Majesty has arrested someone but kept it a secret, which means that there is still evidence that has not been prepared. Once the evidence is prepared, the Gu family will be finished."

Mu Rushuang nodded, "I heard that the fifth prince went to the west. It may be related to the Gu family."

“…”

Ruyi's mouth twitched when he heard this.

The Fifth Prince was asked to investigate the Second Prince's affairs, but the Second Prince's affairs were not only related to the Second Prince, but also to the Third Prince.

If the Fifth Prince gets any clues, after the Third Prince takes the throne, he will most likely work with the Fourth Prince, who also has evidence, to bring down the Third Prince, right?

She had to say that the emperor's methods were terrifying.

You want to say that he does bad things, but he never does.

However, these conspiracies test human nature, and the Crown Prince, the Second Prince and the Third Prince have all fallen into them.

Will the Fourth and Fifth Princes be exceptions?

Ruyi sighed, "Under the Emperor's nose, it's better to tell the truth and not play tricks."

Mu Rushuang raised her eyebrows slightly, "When the Gu family collapses, you may have the opportunity to witness their dirty faces."

Ruyi is not interested in this.

The two chatted for a while and then Fangfei came back.

Her face was red from the cold, and she couldn't help but talk about the Shen family. "Miss, I heard that the master is crazy. The eldest son went to see a doctor yesterday. When the doctors went to see him, he kept talking nonsense. Now everyone outside is spreading this matter."

Suddenly, she looked at Ruyi with some disbelief in her eyes, "Could his last name really be Zhao?"

"If this gets out, will he be killed?"

Replacing an official appointed by the imperial court and deceiving the emperor is a crime punishable by death.

Logically speaking, the entire nine clans would be executed.

When the nine clans are executed, the Shen family's followers will be implicated.

Shen Luo went there not to save the Shen family, but to save the other officials who were implicated by Shen Cangyun.

By reducing the Shen family's charges, these people can avoid being implicated.

Ruyi pondered these things and said, "If he is really crazy, he will be locked up soon."

Even if Shen Cangyun wanted to die, he had to wait until after the palace examination.

Only after the palace examination will someone take up the vacancy held by the Shen family. Otherwise, leaving half of the court vacant will only cause turmoil.

Fang Fei sighed upon hearing this, "I really didn't expect that the Shen family still has so many hidden secrets."

Ruyi was speechless.

Seeing that she was talking about the Shen family, Mu Rushuang didn't want to interrupt, so she stood up and said goodbye.

After all, no matter what the Shen family is like, in her opinion, just mentioning this matter is like stabbing Ruyi in the heart.

So, after leaving the house, he quietly reminded Fangfei, "Don't always mention the Shen family to your daughter. That's a long time ago."

Fang Fei stuck out her tongue, "I will try not to say it in the future."

However, the Shen family is also related to Fangfei.

Her mother died at the hands of Shen Cangyun. She was young and had never dared to hate Shen Cangyun before, but now it was difficult to hide her hatred. When she heard that Shen Cangyun had gone crazy, she couldn't help but feel happy.

When you are happy, you naturally want to talk to others.

But, it’s a good thing that Shen Cangyun got his retribution, so she won’t say it.

Instead, Ruyi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you say it."

Then he looked at Fang Fei and comforted her, "I know you hate him, and I hate him too, but I am only sixteen and you are only thirteen. The road ahead is so long, we have to walk on the sunny road and cannot stay in the gutter."

"After I enter the palace, I will try to get Master to let you study at Guangwen Hall."

Ruyi reached out and touched Fangfei's little face.

Fangfei is really just a child.

Fang Fei nodded and grabbed her hand, "Miss, you are so nice."

Ruyi smiled and said, "If I don't treat you well, who can I treat well?"

The two were talking when Rong Yan arrived.

Ruyi agreed and left today to him.

But Rong Yan was the chief minister of Wenyuan Pavilion and had to attend the early morning court. Even if he hurriedly rushed back, it would be noon when he returned.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. I brought some food with me. It's from your mother. Try it."

He walked into the room, motioned Fengying to put down the food box in his hand, and smiled at Ruyi.

That smile was like moonlight and lake light, revealing warmth and peace, completely different from his appearance in the court. When it passed through Ruyi's heart, it seemed to wipe away the haze in her heart.

Ruyi went forward and opened the food box, feeling delighted, "I like them all."

As he spoke, he poured tea for Rong Yan.

The two of them sat down to eat. Fangfei and the other guards and maids all left tactfully, leaving only the two of them in the room.

Ruyi then spoke softly about the affairs of the court, "I heard that Shen Cangyun has gone crazy and is talking nonsense."

"If his true colors are revealed at this time, it may be detrimental to the arrangements between Your Highness and the Emperor. We may need to deal with it in advance."

Rong Yan looked at her and sighed, "You are no longer in the imperial court, but you are born with wisdom. You remind me of my aunt back then..."

Then he changed the subject and said, "Send someone to knock on it this afternoon."

Ruyi nodded and asked again: "Didn't the Third Prince go after Shen Jiaojiao? There is no news from Hantan yet?"

Rong Yan shook his head, "The Third Prince was not conscientious in the past two days. He was busy plotting against the Second Prince."

"The people sent out are afraid of death and dare not get too close to the cold pond, for fear of falling and destroying themselves. In addition, the caves below the cold pond are tightly closed. Unless all the exits of the caves are blocked, it will be difficult to catch them."

"It can't be helped. People in Nanchu are good at swimming, but most of us here are landlubbers."

Rong Yan said helplessly, "I wanted to ask the people from Fengyu Pavilion to stop them, but the timing is not right now. Father already knows that Fengyu Pavilion is my people."

"Since he has handed the matter over to the Third Prince, if I ask Fengyu Pavilion to take action again, it would be an act of usurpation."

The greater the power you have, the more you need to exercise restraint.

Ruyi understood what he meant, and changed the subject to ask, "What about the palace examination? How many days are left?"
