When they learned that those innocent people from Jiangnan were taken away by His Majesty, the couple felt a little surprised.
Shen Yuerong initially placed her hopes on the emperor, who finally saw the suffering of the people of Jiangnan and wanted to vindicate them, but now she clearly understood that he wanted to cover up these sins.
"I am entering the palace."
Chi Mu sat up straight and planned to go back to the palace to discuss things with the emperor, but was stopped by Shen Yuerong.
"Don't worry."
Things have come to this point. Being anxious will not change the situation at all. Instead, it will only make things worse.
"Since His Majesty wants to use this incident to balance the power between you and the Crown Prince, then naturally... even if the two of you look down on each other, one day you will be reset here under the guidance of His Majesty."
"Are you going to leave me sitting there waiting for death?"
Chi Mu has never been the kind of person who can calmly wait for fate to come.
What's more, those innocent people are now in the hands of the emperor, and he now wants to save the lives of the people in the south of the Yangtze River.
"I know what you are worried about. I am also worried about their future, but now we have to worry about ourselves instead of worrying about them."
Regardless of whether the Empress Dowager favors Chi Mu, he is about to face the Emperor and the Empress.
The prince also has the help of these two behind him.
He looked at Shen Yuerong with some distress, "You have been running around behind me recently, and now you look much more haggard. I should have let you go back and have a good rest after returning to the capital, but I didn't expect that you would have to worry about all this for me now."
He stroked Shen Yuerong's cheek, "Why don't you go back to the Shen family today? If something really happens in the palace in the future, it will have nothing to do with you."
"What kind of joke?"
Shen Yuerong looked at the man in front of her, "We said we would spend our lives together."
What happened to the people of Jiangnan happened so naturally before his eyes that it was impossible for Longyan to just stand by and watch.
But after all, the one involved now is His Majesty.
They could no longer compete openly with the prince as they did before.
"Since it was His Majesty who ordered those Jiangnan people to be taken away, it is enough to prove that His Majesty wants to use them. If the two of them just need to pretend to be sick, that's enough."
Chi Mu still felt that there was something wrong with this plan.
…
Originally she just wanted to pretend to be sick to avoid the venture capital in front of her. Shen Yuerong never thought that she would really fall ill as soon as she returned to the Shen family.
Seeing Qinghua changing her handkerchief with a worried look on her face, Shen Yuerong hurried to comfort her.
"I promise that I was just caught in the cold, and it's definitely not one of those diseases out there. And even if it's me, I have a way to save him."
"Miss."
Qinghua's eyes were now as swollen as a goldfish's, and her serious gaze made her feel a little moved.
"I…"
"The young lady has her own ambitions and wants to inherit the master's responsibilities. Qinghua is just a servant, so of course nothing can happen to her. But the young lady should also take good care of her body, instead of just..."
She was halfway through talking about the handkerchief she invested in, but she choked up and couldn't continue.
Shen Yuerong knew that this illness did make them a little worried.
"I'm sorry that I made you worry about my illness...but I'm really fine."
Shen Yuerong stretched out her hand and placed it on Qinghua’s body.
"It will be fine in a few days."
When Princess Yong'an heard that Shen Yuerong was ill, she hurried over to see her. From her complexion, she knew that she was really ill.
"Isn't your dream self-defeating? I just asked someone to tell you that you two should claim to be sick first, so that you can avoid the interrogation of those annoying ministers in the court. How did you really get sick? Have you asked a doctor to see if there is anything serious?"
"I am a doctor myself, do I need to ask someone else?"
With the help of others, Shen Yuerong sat up straight and leaned on the pillow behind her.
"How was the court today?"
Princess Yong'an sighed, "Not good. He told me what happened in the court after he returned. I'm afraid His Majesty wants to suppress the matter in Jiangnan."
"The Jiangnan incident has caused panic among the people. Some people have been speculating about what is going on in Jiangnan these days. It is understandable that it is suppressed now."
"It's not that the timing is too tight... You just developed the antidote, and the people of Jiangnan were taken away. Now even the overall situation of Jiangnan is being suppressed. Then, won't there be no one to seek justice for the people of Jiangnan who died?"
"This is how the world works. If everything could be judged fairly, how could there be injustice in this world?"
Shen Yuerong could see it clearly, "No matter what the prescription is, it has been passed to Jiangnan, and the people of Jiangnan have already been cured. As for the calculation hidden in the dark, I am afraid that the investigation can end here."
"But no matter what, this matter has something to do with the Crown Prince. As long as you..."
Shen Yuerong shook her head.
"This matter...is not calculated like this."
Whether it is related to the prince or not, I don’t care at all now.
"The Crown Prince has always had the Emperor and Empress behind him. Regardless of whether the couple are thinking about the same thing, they definitely have the same goal. The position of the Crown Prince will never be replaced, and the title of the Eastern Palace can only fall on him."
The two people have the same goal. Even if they have different ideas temporarily and cannot work together, they will still be able to win that person's heart in the end.
"So what you mean is... the prince has their protection behind him. No matter what you and I do, we can never change what is happening right now."
It seemed to be there before, and the truth was there too.
But no one is willing to accept this at the moment.
It was as if they simply couldn't accept themselves. After all this trouble for so long, they just wanted to provide proper care for those innocent people who died in hardship. But now they could only watch them suppress all the affairs in Jiangnan time and time again.
"You and I don't have that kind of strength yet, so we can only watch them cover up the truth that we have worked so hard to investigate. But I believe that one day we will finally get the result."
The sky is not always dark.
Some things are buried in the soil, but will eventually see the moon.
"I believe that, too."
Shen Yuerong coughed twice, "You have been running more frequently recently. I am afraid someone has already suspected you. Stay in your own yard when you have nothing to do and don't get into trouble."
In the end, Shen Yuerong was somewhat reluctant to drag Princess Yong'an into this matter.
"Why do you think...I can only marry Pei Lang?"
"ah?"
