"Have you discovered the whereabouts of the thief?" He Jingheng asked coldly, "Has anyone come to the mansion today?"
"To reply to the prince, no one else has come to the mansion today."
"Crown Princess." The imperial physician walked up to her, bowed and asked, "Do you know what poison the old princess was poisoned by?"
"The poison of the thorn fin grass."
Upon hearing this, the imperial physician hurriedly said, "My Lord, Prince, this thorn fin grass can only grow in southern Xinjiang. If it is really this poisonous, I think it was poisoned by someone from southern Xinjiang who sneaked into the palace."
At this moment, the old princess coughed a few times and whispered, "I'm tired and want to rest."
He Yuwen stood up quickly and said, "Mother, please take a rest first. I will find out who poisoned you."
The old princess closed her eyes tiredly, and everyone left the room. Just as Shang Ruoyi was about to leave, the old princess pulled her hand and said, "Wait a minute."
"yes."
When the room was empty, the old princess whispered, "Go and get 놖's jewelry box."
Shang Ruoyi brought the box on the table to her. The old princess reached out and knocked on the box a few times. With a "click", a layer popped out from the side.
There was a jade ring inside.
Why is there another ring?
There are two in my space, plus this one, that’s three.
The old princess took out the ring and put it on her hand.
"grandmother."
"This was given to you by your grandfather at your wedding." The old princess smiled and said, "Originally, this ring should have been given to your mother, but she is a good manager. If this huge palace was given to her, there would be trouble. Now, the housekeeper's affairs are handed over to you."
"Grandma, you have already given me a ring."
"I know." She smiled: "Although grandma is old, she is not senile. These two rings are very useful. You must keep them well. Return the ring that Jingheng gave you before. These three rings are heirlooms of our Dingguo Palace. Now I give them to you for safekeeping. You can tell when..."
"Grandma, I'm here, you'll be fine." Shang Ruoyi took the ring and said softly, "Keep this ring for now."
Seeing her take the ring, the old princess smiled with satisfaction: "It is a blessing for Jingheng to marry you, and it is also a blessing for our Dingwang Palace." Her eyes fell on the ring: "As the saying goes, jade meets its destined person. Perhaps, you are the real destined person for this ring."
Shang Ruoyi looked at the ring in her hand, somewhat understanding what she meant.
What secrets are hidden in this ring?
At night, everything was quiet, and a figure shuttled through the corridors in the palace.
The man tiptoed to the backyard, looked around, and saw that the maid on duty was already asleep. He gently pushed open the door, went to the inner room, and searched in front of the cabinet.
"What are you looking for?" A crisp female voice came, and in an instant, the candles in the room were instantly lit. The old princess who had been asleep also slowly got up, looking at the familiar figure with heavy eyes.
"Jingxi." The old princess whispered, "It's really you."
He Jingxi turned around with a gloomy face and looked at the people in the room.
He looked at Shang Ruoyi and said coldly, "Did you doubt me from the beginning?"
"I doubted it." She smiled: "I knew it was you from the beginning." She waved her hand and a stream of energy hit his waist. A gold ornament fell to the ground, and a hole was broken in the ornament, and several pills fell to the ground.
That was the pill made from thorn grass.
"The taste of thorn fin grass is bitter. Anyone who knows pharmacology can smell it." Shang Ruoyi sneered: "I just didn't expect you to wear this thing on your body. Well, I knew you were smart from the beginning."
He Jingxi stared at her, but didn't know how to refute.
"Jingxi." He Jingheng said coldly: "Why did you poison grandma?"
He Jingxi gritted his teeth, and after a while, he snorted coldly: "I didn't actually want to poison my grandmother." He looked up at He Jingheng: "I wanted to poison you."
