Chapter 65 Conspiracy



The two sneaked into the palace.

The Qiwu Palace was very large, with carved beams and painted buildings. One had to go through layers of corridors to find Concubine Li's bedroom.

"Princess, are we going to look for Concubine Li now?"

Eleven avoided the eyes of people around him while asking the little girl in his arms.

Xiao Ruyu was also observing his surroundings.

[Right! If we don't find her, she'll have something to hold against us if we guess wrong.]

Eleven did as Xiao Ruyu said.

When the two arrived in front of Concubine Li's palace, they stopped slowly.

Xiao Ruyu felt a huge cushion in his arms, but only heard the sound of the cup falling heavily to the ground.

She trembled with fear.

Eleven subconsciously hugged Xiao Ruyu tightly.

"Ridiculous! How could my father be implicated for no reason? He has always been upright, how could he have all the wealth and glory he has accumulated in his life wiped out just because he was close to Prime Minister Lu? He worked hard for the court, even if he had no merits, he had worked hard. Now his official position has been suppressed, how can I live in this harem!"

Concubine Li was furious when she learned that her father was implicated.

From her simple words, Xiao Ruyu was able to discern the power behind Concubine Li's family in the court.

She was silent for a moment, then listened to Concubine Li continue speaking. Her voice was so sharp that it seemed like it could cut through the sky.

Xiao Ruyu looked through the window and saw that she was so angry that her teeth were bared and her claws were waving. The servants beside her were frightened and fell to their knees on the ground.

"The Emperor is indeed not in his right mind. He actually implicated my father because of some other people's advice. I hope that the way he treats me is how his family treats me. It is really infuriating to put yourself in his shoes!"

Concubine Li's facial features were ferocious, and she even cursed Xiao Ruyu's entire family for this.

The palace maids below trembled with fear when they heard this, but they still spoke to comfort her.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Be careful that someone with ulterior motives hears this. If His Majesty finds out, we will lose our heads."

[Alas, Li Fei, Li Fei! A mere maid is more sober than you. You don't admit the mistakes made by your own father, but instead you blame my father. I think your brain is filled with lard. I'm so angry. Our whole family has provoked you, and you treat us like this! ]

Xiao Ruyu was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wanted to curse Concubine Li in her heart.

Her thoughts were all heard by Eleven, who couldn't help laughing at the insults she said.

He held the little girl tightly in his arms with his big hands and patted her gently to comfort her.

"Princess, don't be angry. Concubine Li is like this. She has a vicious heart. It's not surprising that she said these words."

Eleven coaxed Xiao Ruyu indifferently, but suddenly his eyes lit up and he remembered the epidemic.

"I remembered the previous epidemic. Perhaps this incident is related to her. It is very likely that Concubine Li infected the Queen."

Xiao Ruyu was originally very upset and gnashed her teeth in anger, but when she heard Eleven's sudden words, she immediately felt something strange.

She calmed down, distracted.

[My mother didn't contract the disease accidentally, but it was related to her? How did you know? Why didn't you tell me? Eleven, aren't we the best in the world? ]

Xiao Ruyu's words became more and more frivolous.

Eleven cleared his throat and answered her truthfully.

"Princess, I just heard Concubine Li's arrogant words, and now I dare to confirm it a little. However, the person who is suspected of infecting the Queen is dead, and we have no way to verify it."

When Xiao Ruyu heard this, the anger that had been trying to be suppressed started to rise again.

[This is too much. If this is true, I will find a way to cut her into pieces! No! If my father knew, he would not let her go. Let's go find Master first.]

The latter responded promptly and brought Xiao Ruyu to Doctor Yang.

Doctor Yang was very happy to see two people coming.

"Hey, the sun rises from the west, and it actually comes to find me on its own initiative?"

Doctor Yang, who was sorting the medicinal herbs, stopped and took the little princess from Eleven.

Xiao Ruyu let out a howl and bit Doctor Yang's arm with her baby teeth. She frowned and hummed, saying in a cute way.

[Master, do you like the Queen Mother? ]

The little princess' words almost made Doctor Yang change his expression. He didn't know who spread the rumor. It was really a huge misunderstanding.

Doctor Yang picked up the little princess and looked at her bitten arm which was red and had faint teeth marks on it.

He secretly complained that the little princess was so soft and cute, but why did she always bite people? This little disciple still needed to be taught a lesson.

He patted Xiao Ruyu's little butt and raised his eyebrows.

"It seems that the princess needs to eat some vegetarian food to recuperate recently, so that the imperial kitchen does not need to send milk and lean meat porridge."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ruyu pouted pitifully, tears were about to fall from her eyes, she whimpered and hummed.

[Master is bullying! I just want to ask you, don’t be so fierce, or you will not be able to get the master’s wife. ]

Doctor Yang smiled helplessly and pinched the little princess's face. He understood a little about her past life in the dream.

It was just that his confused memory made him accept the fact that the little princess was his apprentice.

Doctor Yang felt that he needed to explain his relationship with Queen Duan. The little princess seemed to have some misunderstandings about herself, and it would not be good if it caused trouble in the future.

[Master, did you fail to answer my question? Although you have not shown up during this period, the tonic medicine sent to Fengyi Palace has never stopped.]

Xiao Ruyu was in high spirits and asked, in the original book, the reason why Yang Xufeng was a villain was largely related to the Queen.

Therefore, Doctor Yang must like the Queen Mother. Naturally, she did not agree with this, but reminded her master that such liking would bring trouble to the Queen Mother.

Doctor Yang replied helplessly, "I have been treating the Queen's illness all along. It is only a piece of cake to send her medicine. Princess, don't say such things carelessly, or you will lose your head!"

After hearing Doctor Yang's decisive denial, Xiao Ruyu finally felt relieved.

"Eleven, go guard outside and don't let anyone in. I have something important to discuss with Master, and no one else can know."

Eleven nodded slightly and saluted towards Xiao Ruyu, "Yes, Eleven understands."

After Eleven left, Xiao Ruyu's soft voice sounded again, but it was obviously more serious.

[Master, there are medicinal herbs in the national treasury that are only available in Medicine King Valley. Do you know what's going on? I'm wondering why you and I were reborn in a storybook...]

Doctor Yang also had a look of confusion on his face. When he heard Xiao Ruyu ask this, he quickly spoke in a comforting tone.

"I need to investigate this matter. Little princess, wait two days and I will personally deliver the news to you."

After hearing the assurance from Imperial Physician Yang, Xiao Ruyu finally felt relieved. With her master's words, she felt reassured.

[Speaking of which, Master, I have discovered that Eleven has spiritual roots. Master, are you willing to accept Eleven as your disciple and help him develop spiritual wisdom? ]

Doctor Yang did not agree immediately. Matters concerning spiritual intelligence can be big or small, so it is better to be cautious.

He refused temporarily, "Little Princess, Master's medical skills are good, and he can teach Eleven to recognize medicinal herbs. As for opening spiritual wisdom, it is not my forte."

Xiao Ruyu pouted unhappily, hung her head, and had a disgusted expression on her face.

Come to think of it, it makes sense. Master has only awakened some memories of his past life. If Master had the third level of skill from his past life, the witchcraft hidden behind it would have nowhere to hide.
