Zhuang Mi was so angry at the emperor's unfilial son that she fell ill!
The original plan to summon Shen Ruoyan to the palace was also put on hold.
"You mean, the emperor had a big fight with the empress dowager, and then the empress dowager fell ill?" Shen Ruoyan couldn't help laughing when she heard the news. When will the cycle of revenge end? But if it were Zhuang Mi and her son, then please continue to love and hate each other!
The news brought by the secret guard was very clear, "The Queen Mother summoned the imperial physician, and I heard that the illness is serious."
"Is he seriously ill?" Shen Ruoyan laughed even more happily, "I'm afraid he's really angry!"
The child he had raised with all his heart, in the end, was guarding against him like a wolf. Even if Zhuang Mi did have ambitions in her heart, she couldn't bear this kind of blow.
In her heart, she has done so much for the emperor and suffered so much grievance. Is it too much to want to taste the power?
Only one person can sit on the dragon throne. After all, the throne belongs to the emperor and no one can take it away. Why is her son so angry?
I'm afraid that Zhuang Mi would not feel regret at this moment, but would feel extremely wronged?
It’s a pity that I can’t see what she looks like now with my own eyes, otherwise, Shen Ruoyan feels that she can eat an extra bowl of rice today.
"How's things going at the Dali Temple?" Putting the fun things aside, Shen Ruoyan was most concerned about the business.
Li Qingzheng's case was suppressed, and the emperor certainly would not want to make it public.
He is timid, but vicious.
Given his personality, he probably wouldn't tolerate those assassins. Their existence was a potential threat to the emperor—if he wasn't eliminated, this coward would probably not even be able to sleep well.
"The Emperor sent someone to deal with the assassin, but he was rescued by one of our men."
Now, the assassins are still safe and sound in the prison. Because someone intends to silence the assassins, it has attracted the attention of the Dali Temple. Not only have they strengthened their defenses, they have even arranged for more people to be on guard.
This time, the security was so tight that it was very difficult even for their people to sneak in.
The people sent by the emperor naturally did not dare to reveal their identities.
So after the operation failed, they could only leave in disgrace and did not dare to stay any longer.
If the secret guards were not familiar with their martial arts and the swords they carried, they would probably not be sure that these were the people sent by the emperor.
Shen Ruoyan nodded. She had expected this day to come, so she had made preparations in advance.
I just didn't expect that the emperor's courage was getting smaller and smaller. He didn't even bother to follow the clues and wanted to kill the assassins at the slightest sign of trouble. It was really too hasty.
When she was still in the palace, although the emperor also showed some different behavioral habits from before, it was not to this extent.
Can a person's character really be hidden for so many years without being revealed?
Or did something happen that caused his temperament to change drastically?
"Help me investigate one thing. Check the incense and food used by the emperor to see if there is any problem." Shen Ruoyan thought for a moment and then said, "Also, check everything he touches the most!"
Don't be afraid of ten thousand things, just be safe.
What Shen Ruoyan is worried about now is that there is another group of people secretly with other intentions.
It would be bad if it affected her plans.
"Yes, I obey your command!"
As soon as the secret guard finished speaking, he disappeared. He didn't even open the window when he left.
Chun Xi heard that there was no movement inside, so she came in with some tea and snacks.
"Madam, please have some tea to moisten your throat first, and then have some snacks."
The weather was hot today, so she went to the kitchen to watch over the pear soup she was making, and put it in cold water to chill it. It tasted best now.
The accompanying snacks are bite-sized, not overly sweet, and taste just right.
Shen Ruoyan first took a sip of tea to moisten her throat. Then she took the snow pear soup and snacks and savored them slowly.
"Aren't you curious about what I told them?" Chun Xi's expression was too calm, which aroused Shen Ruoyan's interest. "If you want to ask, I can tell you."
Chunxi slowly shook her head and gently put the teacup away.
"If Madam wants to talk, I will listen. If Madam doesn't want to talk, I won't hear anything." Chun Xi raised her head, looked at Shen Ruoyan, and said seriously: "Madam saved my life. No matter what Madam does, I will follow behind without any regrets."
When Chunxi was a child, her family was poor and she was a girl, so she was sold by her family to their son in exchange for food.
At first, she was not sold to the Shen family, but to a wealthy businessman's home and became the lowest-ranking maid.
The wealthy family would often beat and scold their servants, whipping them mercilessly like whipping cattle and horses. That time, Chun Xi accidentally broke a bowl, and the wealthy family's wife beat her from the courtyard to the outside.
When she met Shen Ruoyan, Chunxi had been beaten to the point where she couldn't move.
If you continue fighting, you will surely die!
"Let her go!"
The tender voice was like a fairy descending from the sky, rekindling new hope in Chunxi's distracted eyes.
She lay on the ground, watching Shen Ruoyan, who was dressed neatly, being carried out of the carriage by a maid, and then walked to her step by step and said:
"I want this maid."
That was the first time Shen Ruoyan showed up in front of outsiders, all for a little girl who had nothing to do with her.
But the Shen family even favors this legitimate daughter. Since she wants it, no matter which family Chunxi's maid is from, or what mistakes she makes and what punishments she receives, the Shen family will intervene for her and help her find a solution.
