Chapter 25 Something Happened



Eleven's cheeks turned slightly red, but the rag doll she took out was very sincere, with the word "Ru Yu" embroidered on it crookedly with needle and thread.

【I like everything that is given away during the National Day holiday! 】

Xiao Ruyu's voice was soft and cute, with a hint of joy. She was holding the doll in her arms and seemed to like it very much.

During this period of time, after Eleven stayed in the palace, Xiao Ruyu felt that her spiritual power was becoming more abundant. It was much better than before when her spiritual power was exhausted and she felt a little weak.

Xiao Ruyu quietly passed some spiritual energy to Xiao Ruijin, and the little prince woke up. He yawned, and his white and tender fingers tightly grasped Xiao Ruyu's hand.

The little prince was babbling, but no one knew what he was saying.

When Queen Duan saw the little prince babbling, she was so moved that her eyes turned red. The little prince had not cried or made a fuss in the past two days, nor did he ask for milk. She thought that the little prince had gone crazy due to the fever, but it seemed that she was worrying too much.

Xiao Ruyu pinched the little prince's cheeks. He was so soft and cute, and his face was so fair and cute that he didn't even know what he looked like.

Both Empress Duan and Emperor Shang Wen were good-looking, so I can’t be too bad, she thought happily.

At this moment, Nanny Cui walked in from outside the hall with a somewhat panicked look on her face. She has always been dignified and steady, and rarely loses her composure.

Queen Duan asked doubtfully, "Could it be that naughty boy Yi Ling is here?"

Nanny Cui shook her head and hurried back.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Duan accidentally broke his leg while riding a horse in the military camp. We have already asked a doctor to see him, but it was of no use. That is why we came to the palace to ask Doctor Yang to come to the Marquis' Mansion."

Queen Duan's face changed slightly. She glanced at the little princess in her arms. She felt inexplicably uneasy, as if someone was deliberately plotting against her.

Recently, Duan Yiling has been the most frequent visitor to Fengyi Palace. If someone wants to push this matter onto the little princess and say that she is a disaster star, it is very possible.

The lesson learned from the past made Empress Duan have to be on guard. She also attached great importance to Duan Yiling's safety. If her nephew broke his leg, it would be difficult to find a wife for him when he grew up.

She looked at Doctor Yang with a little apology, and said helplessly, "Doctor Yang, the young master of the Duan family has a broken leg now, so please go over and help with the treatment. I don't trust others."

Imperial Physician Yang naturally guessed what Queen Duan was worried about. He thought for a moment and then nodded and said.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Doctor Yang packed up the medicine box, glanced at the little princess, and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Little princess, you must be well behaved and not bully the little prince."

Xiao Ruyu snorted proudly, "I won't bully my stinky brother."

After a pause, Xiao Ruyu complained in his heart again.

"It doesn't matter if your medical skills are not as good as mine, but you have to cure my cousin's leg!"

She also wanted her little cousin to take her out to play, and she didn't know whether Duan Yiling fell accidentally or was harmed by someone.

"I am very confident in my medical skills. Princess, you are worrying too much."

Eleven and the Queen listened to the little princess's thoughts and both looked calm, except Nanny Cui who was a little panicked.

Could she have seen it wrong again? Why did Doctor Yang seem to be talking to the little princess?

It was still a question and answer, and she was a little confused.

Doctor Yang was worried about wasting time, so he left the palace and walked straight towards Duan's Mansion.

Xiao Ruyu chewed on her fingers, secretly thinking about what had happened recently, and always felt that something was wrong.

[Speaking of which, Concubine Wen seemed to have been accidentally scratched by a cat recently, during the time she came to visit me.]

[Hmm... The eunuch of Imperial Physician Shu helped me deliver the medical books. It seems that he was stung by a wasp on the way back...]

[Oh, yes, yes, and my little cousin, he actually broke his leg while riding a horse, but he is a very good rider! ]

[Why does everyone seem so unlucky recently! ]

Xiao Ruyu thought for a while and felt that the only thing in common among these unfortunate things was that they all involved himself.

Eleven listened to the little princess's voice and felt uneasy. He had tried his best to protect the princess, but he was unable to guard against Prime Minister Lu's schemes.

After hearing these words, Queen Duan was even more trembling with fear in her heart. Damn it, the Lu family always wanted to harm her children. They really thought they were clay figures with no temper at all!

[Could it be that Prime Minister Lu is still scheming and wants to label me the star of disaster? I can’t let her succeed!]

Queen Duan sneered and slammed her slender jade-like hand on the table.

"Prime Minister Lu seems to be very idle. It seems that we should find him something to do."

After saying this, she looked at the two children gently, then walked to Eleven's side and spoke solemnly.

"Eleven, you will take good care of the little princess when I'm not around, right?"

He patted his thin chest, his eyes determined.

"Eleven will take good care of the princess and won't let anyone take advantage of her. I will stay with the princess every step of the way."

"There are some things that I need to do personally. Eleven, the princess's safety is in your hands."

"Ten will definitely live up to your trust."

Queen Duan knew that Eleven was a reliable child, so she left with Nanny Cui.

After the Queen walked away, Xiao Ruyu looked over and talked to Eleven.

[Eleven, come closer. I'll help you get rid of the poison.]

Although the poison in Eleven's body was mostly cured, there was still one last poison missing. I didn't have much spiritual power last time, so I was unable to cure Eleven.

This time she had accumulated a lot of spiritual power, which was enough to cure the poison for Eleven.

Eleven obediently walked to the side of the little princess, and saw that the little princess's eyebrows were bright red, and then a warm feeling came over him, and he felt a little more comfortable.

Because of the poisoning before, Eleven’s martial arts had not made any breakthroughs, but now he actually felt his body was very light.

Xiao Ruyu diagnosed Eleven's pulse from a distance and found that the poison had been cleared away, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Eleven, your poison has been cured. You just need to take care of your body from now on."

Eleven nodded, "Thank you, Princess."

*

Emperor Shangwen has been busy these two days. Because of the little princess's voice, he sent his trusted minister, the prefect of Jingzhao, to secretly investigate the prime minister and the Minister of Personnel, Lu Zongyuan.

I actually found out a lot of things.

Lord Lin, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, reported timidly, "Your Majesty."

"No need to be so polite. Stand up. I asked you to come here to investigate the matter of the Lu family father and son. Have you found any results?"

Lord Lin took out some secret letters, handed them to Eunuch Yin, and reported respectfully.

"Your Majesty, these are the letters between the father and son of the Lu family. Over the years, the two of them have been playing tricks and quietly embezzling the court's money.

Even three months ago, the theft of government silver was the work of the Lu family, and I got the news accidentally while investigating the case."

Although Emperor Shangwen had made up his mind and was aware of the complexity of the matter, he was still angry when he saw the letters between Prime Minister Lu and his son.

They treated all the ministers of the court as mere figureheads, embezzled the money that the court was using to help the disaster-stricken areas, and exploited the people in the name of Emperor Shangwen, especially the local officials, who suffered terribly.

"How daring! Are you plotting against all my people?"
