After having dinner at the Su residence, Su Ruojin returned to the Regent's Palace.
Before leaving, Madam Su repeatedly told them to stay away from the Regent, as she did not want her daughter, whom she had just found, to be abducted by the Regent.
Su Ruojin readily agreed and promised to visit Madam Su at the mansion every day. Only then did Madam Su reluctantly let Su Ruojin leave.
As soon as she returned to Yunwu Courtyard, Hu Qing arrived: "Your Highness, the Prince has woken up and requests your presence."
"good."
She also planned to check on Xiao Yanchu's recovery, and she should also talk to him about the Su family's affairs.
Yunqi Academy.
In the room, Xiao Yanchu was already able to sit up and lean against the headboard to read a book.
Seeing Su Ruojin enter, a smile instantly appeared on his previously cold face: "You're back. How is Madam Su?"
Su Ruojin walked to the bedside and took his pulse. She was surprised to find that he had recovered very well, even better than she had imagined. She was amazed that Xiao Yanchu had such a good constitution.
"Yes, it's alright now. Compared to last time, this time the treatment was timely, and the toxins were cleared before they could spread, so your recovery will be faster."
"Poisoning?" Xiao Yanchu raised an eyebrow slightly. "What exactly happened?"
Steward Zhang only told him that Miss Su encountered Madam Su who was injured while she was out, and that she brought her back to the mansion for treatment. Later, she accompanied Madam Su to the General's Mansion.
But Butler Zhang wasn't entirely sure how Madam Su had been injured.
Su Ruojin left Yanluo at the Prince's Mansion, partly to look after Xiaobao, partly to brew medicine, and partly to help Mu Jingshan take care of Xiao Yanchu.
Yanluo was too busy to talk to Xiao Yanchu about this.
Su Ruojin told Xiao Yanchu everything about her visit to Wei Xuecheng's estate that day, how she discovered Lin Wanqing was the mastermind, how someone wanted to assassinate her, and how Madam Su took an arrow for her.
"So all I did was take a nap, and you've caused all this trouble." Xiao Yanchu's eyes held a mixture of helplessness and admiration for Su Ruojin.
Even though she was injured herself, she still managed to find time to investigate Wei Xuecheng.
"Couldn't you wait until I'm healed before you go to check?" Xiao Yanchu's words didn't contain any blame; she just felt that her future princess was really too restless to sit still for a moment.
How could he bear to keep her confined to the deep courtyard of his mansion all day long?
Su Ruojin smiled a little embarrassedly: "Then you'll have to sleep for a while after taking the medicine. I'm fine, so I just went out for a walk."
"Oh~, you managed to find Wei Xuecheng's estate in the outskirts of Beijing just by walking around. Ah Jin, you're really amazing," Xiao Yanchu said with a hint of teasing.
He didn't believe it was just a coincidence.
Su Ruojin: ......
She had too many things to do today, which made her mind a bit confused, and she accidentally let something slip.
"Uh, actually, I paid someone from the Dark Alliance to inquire for me," Su Ruojin quickly said.
She wasn't entirely lying. Rong Qizhou was a member of the Dark Alliance, and the monthly silver was distributed by her, the alliance leader. So, it could be considered that she paid someone from the Dark Alliance to inquire about information for her.
"You actually know how to contact the Dark Alliance?" Xiao Yanchu asked curiously.
The Dark Alliance operates very discreetly in the Great Chu. While they can indeed do things for money, it's not easy for ordinary people to contact them.
Su Ruojin is at most a doctor; she probably has no connection with the Dark Alliance.
“Yes, when I was in Yanyang, Cai Fanzhou tried to hire people from the Dark Alliance to kill me. Later, I found out, so I got the Dark Alliance's contact information from his lover. Of course, I used a little trickery.” Su Ruojin said seriously.
A true master can tell a lie with three parts falsehood and seven parts truth.
Looking at the girl's serious expression, Xiao Yanchu felt a pang of sympathy for her, wondering what she had gone through while he was away.
