Chapter 204 Who is it?
At this moment, a masked figure flashed before his eyes, and Wen Gang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I think there is a person who is very suspicious."
"Who?"
"That genius doctor Lingjun in Fengyi Palace." He whispered, "He had just entered the palace when the emperor's private storehouse was robbed. How could it be such a coincidence?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianshun angrily shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can she move all the treasures in the warehouse by herself? Do you have a brain?"
Wen Gang was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will go check it out right now."
Emperor Tianshun clenched his fists, looked at the door of the private storehouse, and couldn't help but hold his forehead. His heart was pounding. He stood up, but suddenly felt dizzy and fell down.
The news of the emperor's fainting spread throughout the palace in an instant. The empress and Concubine Zhao were pregnant and could not take care of him, so this difficult task fell on Concubine Shu.
When Shang Ruoyi heard the news in Fengyi Palace, her brows raised slightly. She didn't expect that the emperor could not stand such a setback. Tsk tsk tsk, it saved her the trouble of poisoning her.
She originally planned to take a stroll in the Yangxin Palace when she had time and give the emperor a non-lethal but rather torturous poison, so that he would not have the energy to cause trouble for Prince Ding's Palace in the short term.
Unexpectedly, he fell ill without realizing it.
The queen looked at her and whispered, "Did you take the things from the Yangxin Palace?"
"Your Highness really thinks highly of me." She handed the written list to the head nanny: "One dose per day, before lunch."
Common people?
How come she didn't notice it at all?
"Since you can remove poison, you must have a master. Who is your master?"
"Is it difficult to remove the poison?" Shang Ruoyi shrugged. "To be honest, I really don't have a master. I just liked reading some books on Qimen Dunjia when I was young. I just figured out how to remove the poison by myself."
Full of lies, the queen leaned back in her chair with a hint of admiration in her eyes, she actually liked this girl's personality a little.
"From your accent, you must be from Beijing."
Shang Ruoyi raised her lips slightly: "My queen, you are from southern Xinjiang, how can you know the dialects of so many places?"
The Queen was so angry that she said, "I think you don't want to live anymore. How dare you talk to me like this?"
"Your Highness, since you are from Southern Xinjiang, the most important thing is to save your own life first." Shang Ruoyi said nonchalantly, "If you had not done a favor to a certain family, I would not care if the prince took out the book left by the Medical Saint, even if it was the Medical God."
The queen was stunned when she heard this. The next moment, she stood up suddenly and walked quickly to Shang Ruoyi: "What is your relationship with the Dingguo Palace?"
"Your Majesty, there are some things that it's better not to know the answers to." An intriguing light flashed in the eyes beneath the mask.
The head nanny stepped forward, supported the queen, and said softly, "Your Majesty, take care of yourself and don't disturb the prince in your belly."
The queen slowly sat on the dragon chair, touched her belly, and whispered, "Okay, I only want to ask you one thing, old princess, is she in good health?"
Old princess?
She was actually asking about the old princess?
Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly, she thought the queen would be Prince Ding He Yuwen.
"The old princess is in good health, your majesty, don't worry."
The queen closed her eyes, tears slowly falling down her cheeks. She said to the head maid beside her, "Bring me the handkerchief that I have placed in the sandalwood box."
The head nanny paused for a moment and said, "Madam." She looked at Shang Ruoyi with suspicion in her eyes, "That handkerchief is so important to you."
"It's okay." The Queen whispered, "Since she already knows my identity, I have nothing to hide." She looked at Shang Ruoyi and smiled, "Let me guess, is it Heng'er's request that you come here this time?"
Shang Ruoyi did not answer, and the queen knew the answer.
"What is your relationship with the Dingguo Palace?"
"You will know later." The queen looked at her with a much kinder look than before, and said calmly: "With your ability, if you were not disfigured, you would be a pretty girl. Marrying Heng'er would be a help, much better than the concubine of that old man Shangnian. When I think that the prince actually married a concubine as his principal wife, I feel as if I had eaten a fly."
Shang Ruoyi looked at her, without a trace of emotion in her eyes.
My lady, is it possible that the woman who is as disgusting as a fly that you mentioned is standing in front of you?
"Have you ever seen that concubine's daughter called Shang something? What's her character like? What does she look like?"
Shang Ruoyi was both angry and amused. This queen was actually quite cute.
"The Crown Prince's Consort is ugly and behaves in a vulgar manner. She is not much better than that country woman."
Upon hearing this, the Queen looked her up and down and nodded: "Indeed."
Before she could savor the queen's words, she heard a burst of noisy noise coming from outside again.
Concubine Zhao was seen walking into Fengyi Palace with a group of palace maids and guards behind them.
The Queen sat upright on the Phoenix Chair, looking at Concubine Zhao who walked in with a smile.
"Empress Zhao, you are coming to pay respects to me with such a big ceremony today. This palace is not a den of tigers and wolves. Why do you need to bring so many people?"
"Greetings to the Empress." Concubine Zhao bowed, and before the Empress asked her to stand up, she stood up on her own, with a smug look on her face: "Your Majesty, I came here today, first, to pay my respects to you, and second, to catch the thief!" She waved her hand and looked at Shang Ruoyi: "Catch her for me and interrogate her severely. She must have stolen the treasures from the Emperor's private storehouse."
Shang Ruoyi expected that she was coming for her, and there was no panic on her face. She walked forward and said with a sneer, "Where is the evidence? If Concubine Zhao wants to arrest me, she just needs to show me the evidence."
“Humph, the treasures in the emperor’s private treasury have never been lost, but after you entered the palace, the treasures were stolen. If it wasn’t you who stole it, who else could it be?” Her eyes were fierce: “I’m not afraid that you won’t confess. If I take you to jail, you’ll confess everything.” She waved her jade hand lightly, and the imperial guards behind her walked towards her with swords in their hands.
At this moment, the queen on the main seat said coldly: "Stop! I'll see who dares to take another step forward."
Upon hearing this, the guards hurriedly stopped.
"Queen, are you in cahoots with her?"
The queen sneered, "Noble Concubine Zhao, you, a concubine, dared to break into my Fengyi Palace with guards holding sharp blades. I think you have lived enough."
"I am here to track down the thief."
"You've tracked down the thieves and brought them to my Fengyi Palace? Concubine Zhao, you're overstepping your authority."
