In the gray sky, the bright red curtains were rippling with light ripples, and the waiting maid couldn't help but blush.
When Shen Yuerong woke up again, the sunlight was pouring in through the window.
Shen Yuerong was suddenly shocked and sat up hurriedly.
Oh no, he had agreed to pay his respects to the Concubine Dowager Cixi today.
Taohua heard the noise in the room and hurried in with hot water.
"Princess, are you awake?"
Shen Yuerong turned over and got out of bed, hurriedly getting dressed and washing, while asking questions.
"Why didn't you call me? We agreed to go and pay our respects to mother today."
Taohua put down the hot water, smiled helplessly and spoke.
"The prince instructed us not to wake you up. As for the Western Concubine, someone has already been sent to pass on the message."
Hearing this, Shen Yuerong paused, her heart felt like it was being grabbed by a big hand.
"What, what did mother say?"
She seemed to have guessed that Concubine Xi would send someone to scold her. After all, she had sent people to scold her for some trivial matters before.
But unexpectedly, Taohua's face broke into a bright smile and explained.
"Don't worry, Princess. The Queen Mother sent someone to deliver something, and she also told us that there is no need to pay respects in the future."
"The Concubine said that she had had enough of getting up early to pay respects every day in the palace. Now that she is old, she wants to sleep in."
At this point, she covered her lips and laughed.
"I sent someone to inquire, and the Toffee hasn't gotten up yet."
Now, Shen Yuerong's heart, which had been hanging high, finally sank.
No need to greet.
Then she also laughed. It seemed that Concubine Xi began to change her personality under her subtle influence.
After a simple wash and dressing, Shen Yuerong went to the clinic.
Today he invited another doctor to take charge of the clinic, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Let Dr. Li treat simple illnesses, and if you encounter difficult problems, ask me to treat them.
At this point, what Shen Yuerong wanted to open up more was the connections among the noble ladies.
Then Shen Yuerong remembered the rouge that Concubine Xi had taken out before. If she could sell it in the clinic, she might be able to attract many dignitaries.
So Shen Yuerong began to do research on the second floor. She glanced around and found that the embroidery workshop opposite, which had been doing a booming business, had suddenly closed.
The embroidery workshop was covered by a large piece of red cloth. People coming in and out were busy, and it was impossible to tell what they were doing.
He didn't care and just continued to develop his own rouge.
If some beauty and skin care products were added to it, it would surely be more popular.
Finally, Shen Yuerong developed rouge and powder with beauty-enhancing effects, put them together as a set, and prepared to start mass production.
Just as Shen Yuerong had prepared all this, a figure rushed into the clinic and exclaimed in a hurry.
"My Lady Princess, please go back and see my wife. She is unconscious for some reason."
Hearing this, Shen Yuerong hurriedly got up and followed Wanjun back to the palace.
As soon as she stepped into the room, she smelled the stuffy smell in the air and saw a half-eaten peach blossom cake on the table.
This was not the time to pursue this, so Shen Yuerong quickly came to the bedside to check on Sheng Qinglan's condition.
Sheng Qinglan was lying on the bed with a pale face and a dark aura on his forehead.
After Shen Yuerong took his pulse, she frowned slightly.
"She's been poisoned. Have you ever eaten anything you shouldn't have?"
Wanjun was so anxious that her eyes were filled with tears. Suddenly she remembered something and rushed to the peach blossom cake and picked it up.
"My wife wanted to eat peach blossom cake this morning, so I went to buy it. Maybe her appetite has been poor recently, so she only ate half of it and put it down, saying she wanted to sleep."
"I didn't expect her to sleep for a whole day. I just came to see her and found that she looked very strange."
"How could he be poisoned? I bought the peach blossom cake myself."
Shen Yuerong glanced at the peach blossom cake, her eyes resting on the oil paper that contained it.
"Is this the pastry from Fangcao Pavilion?"
Wanjun gradually calmed down and answered with sobs.
"This is indeed the cake from Fangcao Pavilion, because my wife likes to eat the peach blossom cake here the most, and she thinks about it almost every once in a while."
"I queued up to buy this myself, so there's no way there's a problem. I just ran into Miss Taohua on the way back, and I took a look at her."
When she said this, she looked at Shen Yuerong timidly, and she couldn't help but doubt Taohua in her heart.
"Could it be..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shen Yuerong.
"It can't be Taohua. If he wanted to kill my wife, he could just kill her with one blow."
As soon as the voice fell, Taohua, who was standing at the door, strode into the room and looked at Shen Yuerong with emotion.
"Thank you for your trust, my lady, but I know who did it."
At that moment, Shen Yuerong's gaze stayed on Taohua, waiting for her next words.
Taohua took out a piece of paper and handed it to Shen Yuerong.
"Princess, this is the title deed of Fangcao Pavilion. The person registered on it is the steward of the Crown Prince's Mansion."
"According to our palace's investigation, Fangcao Pavilion is the prince's property, and Yimeng from the Prime Minister's Mansion is the prince's person."
Her words were clearly heard by everyone, and Wanjun could not help but lower her head in shame.
But she did not escape and quickly apologized to Taohua.
"I'm sorry Miss Taohua, I was just too worried about my wife. Now I think Yimeng is the only one who knows that my wife likes to eat peach blossom cakes."
"But we are not in the house. How did she know that I would buy it and put the poison in it accurately?"
When Shen Yuerong heard this, her eyes turned a little colder.
"She is deliberately testing me. If Sheng Qinglan is not living well in the palace, how can she afford to eat peach blossom cake?"
"But if she can afford peach blossom cake, it proves that all this is just an act between us."
"The most important thing is that she can both get information and poison people."
"Even if Sheng Qinglan wasn't harmed, there would be someone else. Anyway, it's you who are in trouble, it has nothing to do with her."
After listening to Shen Yuerong's analysis, Wanjun was extremely scared and looked at Shen Yuerong begging.
"Please protect my wife, Princess. Wanjun is willing to die in return."
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Shen Yuerong.
Shen Yuerong hurriedly helped her up and said, "The other party disregarded other people's lives and dared to attack our palace. Naturally, I will not let him go."
"Besides, I promised to help your wife and I will never break my promise."
She turned around and told Taohua, "Go get the antidote pills."
Taohua nodded and quickly went to Shen Yuerong's room and took out a white jade porcelain bottle.
These pills were specially developed by Shen Yuerong in her spare time to prevent such situations from happening.
She had checked Sheng Qinglan's condition and found that it was not a particularly serious poison.
I'm afraid it's because she acted on her own, so she couldn't get a good poison.
Shen Yuerong gave the detoxification pill to Sheng Qinglan, then turned to look at Wanjun and smiled.
"Take good care of him first, and then perform a play with us."
