The carriage finally drove into the imperial city in the evening, and Mingruo breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned on the pillow and closed his eyes to meditate.
Horse hooves were heard galloping from behind, and Mingruo and Si Haochen opened their eyes at the same time—horse racing was not allowed in the imperial city, so something must have happened.
Mingruo looked out through the gauze curtain and saw more than a dozen people galloping on horseback. On the front horse, two people were sitting. One of them must have been injured, with his head hanging down.
Si Haochen made a gesture, and soon a secret guard followed him, and the carriage continued walking in the direction of Prince Yun's Mansion at its original speed.
The team first passed by the fourth prince's residence. After the fourth prince got out of the car, he saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Uncle Yun and the Second Emperor, for escorting me back to the mansion."
Si Haochen only said a cold "hmm", but the prince warmly asked him to send the imperial doctor over to check on the injury.
Ming Ruo raised his eyebrows, wondering what the prince and the fourth prince had talked about along the way. This 'emotion' had grown by leaps and bounds.
When the carriage was approaching the palace, Ah Si came back: "Master, the team just now was the third prince and his bodyguard. This morning the third prince went out of the city to patrol the camp. On his way back, he was ambushed and hit by an arrow. It is said that the arrow was poisonous. It has been sent to him now.
Enter the palace and let the imperial physician diagnose and treat you."
Si Haochen thought for a moment: "Go and find out who ambushed him."
"Yes." Ah Si took the order and left.
"This thing is a little weird..." Ming Ruo counted on his hands. In addition to the sixth prince who died young, Emperor Danxu now has six princes. Among the five adult princes - the prince, the third prince and the fourth prince were all assassinated and injured.
What a coincidence, right?
"Yes." Si Haochen nodded, "There must be someone behind the scenes."
The carriage stopped at the main entrance of Prince Yun's Mansion, and Si Haochen helped Mingruo get out of the carriage.
The prince got out of the driveway again and thanked him: "Thanks to the emperor's uncle and aunt for taking care of me this time, the life-saving grace will be unforgettable." #@$&
"Go back, be careful on the way." Si Haochen rarely said a few more words.
"My nephew has taken note of it." The prince left with his guards.
Butler Zhou had already ordered someone to prepare a soft sedan. Mingruo was detained in the carriage for a day and said he wanted to go for a walk. Si Haochen accompanied Mingruo and walked around the palace slowly.
When they returned to Meiyuan, they had already turned on the lamp. Aunt Dong and Zicao were busy in the kitchen, and Zisu went into the bedroom to light the lamp.
A white carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew into the yard. Si Haochen stretched out his hand to catch the pigeon. This was not his usual carrier pigeon. He handed it directly to Mingruo: "Here."%&(&
"You're looking for me?" Ming Ruo was a little surprised. The master always used various hawks as 'messengers' to send her messages, and they had never used pigeons.
Mingruo untied the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg and opened the note inside. It turned out to be a letter sent to her by her old apprentice, saying that someone from the Third Prince's Mansion came to the medicine hall to buy Yiling Pill and asked her if she could sell it.
The third prince's bodyguard fed the third prince three Qingling Pills one after another, but there was no improvement, so he had no choice but to send the unconscious third prince to the palace.
The imperial doctor examined it for a long time, only to say that the poison was overbearing, but there was nothing he could do. Just when Qian Guifei was so angry that she wanted to kill someone, the imperial doctor said in a hurry to save her head that Beichi Snow Girl had also been poisoned by a poison that could not be cured by the Qingling Pill, and spent huge sums of money to buy it.
I bought a 'Yiling Pill' and the poison was cured after taking it.
Only then did people from the Third Prince's Mansion go to a medicine hall to buy Yi Ling Dan.
But Old Shen Jing only said that the Yi Ling Pill was very precious and was kept by his master personally. Now that the master was traveling, he could only send a letter to the master. He hoped that after receiving the letter, the master could quickly deliver this life-saving detoxification pill.
Send the medicine back.
Ever since he knew that his master lived in Prince Yun's Mansion, Old Shen had consciously classified himself into Prince Yun's faction. He didn't know the twists and turns in the royal family. If the third prince and Prince Yun's Mansion didn't deal with it, he would send Yi Ling
After selling the pill and reviving the third prince, wouldn't his master be depressed?
After reading the note, Mingruo felt that this old apprentice was quite reliable. She gave the note directly to Si Haochen: "Do you think it should be sold or not?"
"He is asking you, what are you asking me for?" Si Haochen felt uncomfortable when he thought that his wife was almost snatched away by the third prince. (Ranyi: Your Highness Prince Yun, can we be reasonable?
No? Who among you two robbed whose wife? Si Haochen: If your son is my destined person, who do you think robbed whom? Ranyi:...)
"Then I replied to Lao Shen, don't regret it." Mingruo walked into the bedroom holding the little pigeon.
"You want to save him?" Si Haochen followed him into the dormitory.
"I want to sell medicine." Mingruo was of course doing it for the sake of money. As for the third prince, if he didn't poison him, he would be magnanimous and kind to others. Is it possible to still 'want to save him'?
"You are just a little money addict." Si Haochen poked Mingruo on the forehead, "If you want the money, you can open a warehouse and move it."
"You have said so. The money in the warehouse belongs to me whether it is moved or not, so I won't waste any effort." Mingruo wrote a note and told Lao Shen that he would send medicine and "take other people's money."
It’s serious when you get it.”
Mingruo took two more Yi Ling Pills and asked Junior Three to take them to a medicine hall: "You should go there with your face covered. Don't be followed."
"Master, don't worry." Chu San took the medicine and left as ordered.
Mingruo was in a good mood after another large amount of money came into his account, and decided to coax his boyfriend who was not in a good mood: "What's wrong with my bamboo horse? Why is he frowning and unhappy?"
"Humph." Si Haochen turned his face to the other side proudly.
"Obviously you agreed, and now you're teasing me." Mingruo reached out and pinched both sides of Si Haochen's cheeks, "Why are you so thick-skinned?"
"When did I agree?" Si Haochen took off Mingruo's little paws and held her whole body in his arms.
"If you don't agree, can Junior Three and the carrier pigeon escape from Meiyuan alive?" Mingruo rolled his eyes.
"My little princess, how can you be so smart?" Si Haochen pressed his head against Mingruo's forehead.
"Do you think the person who planned the ambush of the third prince and the person who assassinated the prince and the fourth prince were the same person?" Mingruo analyzed the situation he knew, "One was poisoned, and the other two were not poisoned... so
Look, it shouldn’t be a person, right?”
"Perhaps they just hired different killer organizations. It's too early to say that the mastermind behind the scenes is not the same person." Si Haochen stroked her back again and again.
Ah Yi reported outside the door: "Master."
Si Haochen put Mingruo on the chair next to him and said in a deep voice: "Come in."
"Eunuch Zhang came to announce the edict again." Ah Yi held a roll of bright yellow brocade, "However, he threw the edict to the boy on duty at the porter and ran away..."
"This decree is announced..." Ming Ruo smiled and said to Si Haochen, "Isn't it a little too casual..."
"I guess I'm afraid that I won't be able to announce it..." Ha Yi put the imperial edict on the table.
Si Haochen picked up the imperial edict and unfolded it, and Mingruo put his little head over it: "Huh?"
