Calmly took the handkerchief with both hands, as if holding one of her hearts. I was excited and satisfied in my heart, and hugged her: "The reason why I would rather live in White Tiger Peak is because I am tired of the sinister and treacherous people in this palace, but there is nowhere to escape." Yanran, I really want to take you away, I'll leave now......"

"Brother, even if we leave, we won't be happy, because our hearts are tied here. I want to settle the unfinished business, pay the unpaid debt, and leave without worry. She raised her head and looked at him, "When I was in Hongye Peak, I just wanted to send Minglang to Chimelong Kingdom safely, take Ah Huda to Tianqian Kingdom to relieve Gu poison, and then go to Tanggu with you to visit Brother An Ran, so that I can live in seclusion with you in the mountains and forests." Who knows that things are getting more and more complicated, and there are more and more unpaid debts that have not been settled. Brother, is God deliberately testing us? ”

"There will always be a day to close, and there will always be a day to pay off. As long as you are by my side, even if it is gray hair, I am willing. ”

Yunshang knocked on the door outside, saying that Father-in-law Yuefu had come to call the princess to have dinner with His Royal Highness. Yan Ran went out with Tai Ran and went to Yuede Palace.

Xie Zhenyu is still frugal in life. Dinner is set in the crystal pavilion in front of the Woltoku Palace, with a small square table and three stools. On the table are several small dishes that Yanran loved to eat when she was a child: steamed kidneys, tangerine peel rabbit meat, jade jade fan, jade rabbit cabbage, shredded chicken cucumber, dragon whisker, and pine nut stalks, sugar steamed cheese, plum blossom cakes, which filled the table. A bowl of bird's nest porridge in front of one person. Yan Ran and Tai Ran helped Xie Zhenyu sit down one by one. Xie Zhenfei's spirit seemed to be very good, and the three of them talked while eating, and Xie Zhenfei laughed from time to time.

The meal was just finished, and Concubine Jing'an asked to see her. Yan Ran didn't want to meet her here, and Xie Zhenyu didn't want to let Yan Ran intervene in the conflict at this time, so he waved them back from the side door first.

Back in Bitong Palace, calmly told Yanran about the dispute between Concubine An Shu and Concubine Jing'an.

Concubine An Shu and Concubine Jing'an both entered the palace in the year Xie Zhenfu ascended the throne. An Zhaoxiong, the Marquis of Lieyang behind Concubine An Shu, was an important minister during the Xie Zhenzai period, and after Xie Zhenfu won the throne, he was determined to return to obedience and gain the trust of the new emperor. Soon his daughter entered the palace as a concubine, and An Zhaoxiong gradually showed his arrogance, and really regarded himself as the ruler of the country. Concubine An Shufei is gentle and skillful, and she is deeply favored by Xie Zhenhui, and because of this, Xie Zhenfei turns a blind eye to An Zhaoxiong's behavior.

Concubine Jing'an's elder brother is Marshal Guo Bohan, who was once a general under Xie Zhenfei, and he also has great military achievements, which can be called a generation of heroes. After Xie Zhen became emperor, he handed over the military power to him. Later, Guo Bo rarely had no reliable people around the emperor, so he sent his sister to the palace and named Concubine Jing'an. At the end of last year, the emperor fell ill, and Concubine Jing'an's mind turned quickly, and she immediately acted secretly. not only let his seven-year-old son Xie Dingran often go to Xie Zhenyu to greet and serve, but also took out the means to blow the pillow wind diligently, while suppressing Concubine An Shu everywhere. Then Concubine An Shufei didn't do much, but how could An Zhaoxiong sit idly by? Immediately took-for-tat measures, allowing Xie Jingran to attract the emperor's attention while fighting back against Concubine Jing'an. When the quarrel was intense, An Zhaoxiong even had an argument with Guo Bohan above the court, but he almost didn't do anything. made Xie Zhenfei extremely angry, but he was helpless.

After listening to this, Yan Ran said: "From this point of view, this turmoil should be a battle between Concubine Jing'an and An Zhaoxiong, and Concubine An Shufei and Guo Bohan are neutral. ”

"So far. But Guo Bohan is also a high-minded and arrogant person, although he will not take the initiative to provoke trouble when he thinks of his father's old subordinates, but if An Zhaoxiong provokes him, he will never be a soft persimmon; Concubine An Shufei has an indifferent temperament, but lacks assertiveness, and is easily manipulated by An Zhaoxiong. So the longer this thing drags on, the more variables there are. ”

Yanran thought for a while and said, "Brother, promise me one thing, in the future, my father will mention the matter of making you the crown prince, don't contradict him." ”

Tairan also knew that things were going in the direction he feared most. Originally, he could refuse, he could resist, because he thought that his father was at least still powerful and could make him look up and resist, but now, he found that his father was so old and helpless, and even needed his protection. He simply couldn't stay out of it.

He pursed his thin lips and nodded.

The two talked for a while, and Yanran fell asleep and couldn't stop yawning. After being detained for a long time, he was also tired, but he was reluctant to leave. Yunshang came to urge the princess to bathe, and calmly waited outside. After a while, Yanran came out with her wet hair, and calmly hurriedly took a dry towel to wipe her, remembering that when he was in Qianzhao County, he washed her hair in an unconscious state, and slowly smiled at the corners of his mouth.

By the time she finished wiping her hair, Yanran had fallen asleep on the stool. calmly carried her into the bedroom and put her away, beckoned Yunshang Yunni to come in to serve, and then went back.

Early the next morning, Yan Ran was still washing and came calmly. The two had breakfast together, and calmly immediately asked Yuehu and Yuehai to summon Imperial Doctor Zhang and Imperial Physician Fang to inquire.

Mrs. Zhang is the most experienced veteran doctor in Tai Hospital. He had a white beard and white hair, and his face was ruddy, and Doctor Fang was younger and taller. The two saluted calmly. Imperial Physician Zhang had long heard that Yan Ran was proficient in medical skills, so he took out the emperor's prescription for two months from his bag and respectfully asked Yan Ran to review it. Yan Ran knew that the problem would never lie in the prescription written in black and white, and after a slight glance, she asked about the situation when the emperor was sick, when he was seriously ill, and the treatment methods they adopted. The two imperial doctors dealt with it calmly and couldn't see any flaws.

calmly turned grim, and drank: "Death is coming, and you still don't know your sin?" The reason why my father has not been able to recover so far is because the medicinal juice he drinks every day contains the highly poisonous herb Maximum! Did you do this? ”

The two imperial doctors, Zhang and Fang, were frightened when they heard this. Both of them have been dealing with herbs all their lives, how can they not know the power of Qianlimei? Imperial Physician Zhang's ruddy face also turned gray, and he said tremblingly, "Your Highness...... Princess...... Even if Wei Chen has a hundred courages, he would not dare to commit such a deceptive crime. His Majesty has also had wheezing in previous years, and it usually gets better in just a month. I have kept all the prescriptions from the past five years, and the prescriptions I use now are actually exactly the same as in previous years, and I can't understand why this year has no effect...... I really don't know where that Maximus came from! ”

Imperial Physician Fang also shouted injustice vigorously, and tears and snot flowed all over the ground.

Yan Ran looked at each other calmly. Yan Ran asked: "There is indeed no problem with your prescription, then it may be that there is something wrong in the decoction process." Who is in charge of decoction? ”

Imperial Doctor Zhang said: "The medicine is fried by the small waiter of the pharmacy, and after the frying is done, it will be handed over to Yuefu or Yuexi Father-in-law by His Majesty's side." ”

Tairan immediately instructed Yuehu and Yuehai to quietly go and find the person in charge of the pharmacy for the emperor's decoction.

Yanran said: "Two adults, please get up, tonight we must find out the truth and give an explanation to my father!" ”

After a while, the two little chamberlains stumbled and were carried by Yuehu and Yuehai.

The two small chamberlains are of low grade and have not yet been given names. One is called Xiao Rongzi and the other is called Xiao Lianzi. When they were suddenly arrested, they were all trembling with fright, and they didn't know what was going on.

Seeing that the two children were no bigger than a sword picking up a book, Yan Ran asked gently, "Are you in charge of decoction?" ”

"Yes".

"Every medication is configured according to the doctor's prescription?"

"Yes."

"You have always been guarding the decoction process and have not left the medicine furnace?"

"Yes."

Yan Ran thought for a while, and then asked, "In the past few months, has anyone come to ask you to add something to the prescription, or subtract something?" ”

This time, only Xiao Lianzi said "yes", and Xiao Rongzi's face turned pale.

"What do you remember?"
