When I came back from the Taimiao, it was almost time.

The long convoy rushed from the eastern suburbs to the capital, and because of the long distance, the officials and their wives were tired for a day, and then they had already begun to complain about the bumpy carriage for more than an hour. The Queen Mother simply ordered everyone to stop and rest for half an hour before going on the road.

Yu Ruoxu saw that Liang Jieyu's carriage was not far away, so she walked over, "The folk girl Yu Ruoxu pays a visit to Jieyu Niangniang." “

Liang Jieyu opened the curtain and saw Yu Ruoxu standing next to the car, "Calm down." What are you doing here? “

Yu Ruoxu thought for a while and said in a low voice, "Thank you Niangniang for breaking the siege today." “

Liang Jieyu was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Miss Yu is smart, she guessed it so quickly." However, the palace didn't expect the queen mother to make such a will, and it was not considered to be a relief from the siege. “

"Niangniang's original intention is good, and with this, the people's daughter feels it in her heart." Yu Ruoxu listened to her generous admit, and the big stone in her heart fell to the ground. The Queen Mother is doing well in the middle hall, and there is no need to come to the apse at all. In this way, it seems that Liang Jieyu really asked the queen to help her out of the siege.

It's a pity that Liang Jieyu didn't expect that in that case, how could the Queen Mother brush off the little emperor's intentions and choose to relieve her siege?

But...... She remembered the Queen Mother's deep eyes at that time, and there was a familiar coldness floating in them, as if she had already understood Song Guiren's tricks, and she still chose to push the boat down the river to torture her.

Sure enough, on the day she entered Beijing, she showed her love in front of everyone, but it was just a show.

"This palace is just entrusted by someone." Liang Jieyu said unhurriedly, "My brother asked the palace before, saying that Miss Yu was not in good health, so let the palace take care of it." ”

Yu Ruoxu was a little surprised, "Then please ask the mother to thank the princess for the people's daughter." ”

"This palace is not a messenger." Liang Jieyu's eyes fell behind her, "You can thank yourself." ”

Yu Ruoxu looked back and saw Liang Jin standing not far away, holding a leather water bladder in her hand, looking at her with a worried expression.

"However, over the years, it is rare to see my brother so nervous alone." Liang Jieyu's slightly joking voice came, "This brother in this palace is afraid that he is interested in Miss Yu." ”

Yu Ruoxu's cheeks were instantly flushed, "Niangniang laughed. ”

Liang Jieyu chuckled, shook her head, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and whispered, "By the way, today's events are unusual, you'd better go back and carefully check the things you bring with you, be careful that you are being harmed." “

Yu Ruoxu nodded, "Thank you for mentioning it." “

When she was still kneeling in the outer room of the apse of the Taimiao, she vaguely felt that something was wrong. She had always been silent and silent, but this time, for some reason, the irrepressible anger in her chest was overwhelming, and now that she thought about it, the words that rushed out of her mouth were really very different from her usual self.

After saying goodbye to Liang Jieyu, she couldn't help but glance back at Liang Jin again, but found that he had long since disappeared.

She sighed, as if she had stepped into a Longtan tiger's den, and she fell deeper and deeper.

Yu Zhongjun wanted to go back to the palace to answer the truth, and Yu Ruoxu went back to Yu's mansion first. Xiu'er and the housekeeper were already waiting at the door, and when they saw Yu Ruoxu coming back, they hurriedly greeted her, "Miss is finally back!" “

"Hmm." Yu Ruoxu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw the two big characters "Yu Fu", and said while walking towards the inner courtyard, "Xiu'er, hurry up and prepare dinner, I'm hungry." ”

"The ingredients and everything are ready-made, just wait for the master and the young lady to come back and start the fire." Xiu'er opened the door and quickly took off her outer robe for her, "Why did Miss sweat so much today, even her middle coat was sweaty." ”

Yu Ruoxu smiled and hid the thrilling part, "The smoke in the Taimiao is hotter than in the house." ”

"I see, miss, don't move yet, the slave will help you take off the pain-relieving medicine bag on your right shoulder." Xiu'er carefully lifted her middle shirt, "Look at it, this medicine bag is stained with sweat." ”

"Hmm." Yu Ruoxu thought about Liang Jieyu's words in her heart, but she just returned to Xiu'er without a match.

The melons, fruits, and tea in the Taimiao are all uniformly supplied, and no one dares to make a raft with something related to the country like asking for rain. And ...... for yourself She couldn't help frowning, not knowing where to give others an opportunity.

After a while, Yu Zhongjun returned from the palace, and before he could sit down, he looked her shoulders and knees up and down, "Are you okay?" “

"It's fine." Yu Ruoxu pulled out a big smile, spread her hands and said, "Isn't my daughter standing in front of her father well?" “

Yu Zhongjun pulled her to sit down, "Didn't I tell you, if there is any situation, quickly send someone to call Daddy?" Such a big thing happened, and my father only heard about it when he returned to the palace! “

"Song Guiren is here for his daughter this time." Yu Ruoxu poured a cup of tea for Yu Zhongjun, "I thought that her prestige was enough, but I didn't expect the emperor to come in the end." “

"The emperor is also strange." Yu Zhongjun recalled, "I was in the middle hall, but when the Queen Mother went to check the altar, she suddenly said that she wanted to go out for a walk, but she didn't expect to go to the apse." “

"Oh?" Yu Ruoxu understood seven or eight points in her heart, "Then this provocation by the Song nobles is most likely instructed by the emperor." ”

In order to embarrass the Yu family.

"The emperor didn't like our Yu family from the very beginning." Yu Zhongjun said slowly, "I'm afraid it's with Yue...... I guess it's something to do with the Tsurukawa Academy. ”

"I can't see that the emperor is so protective of the Liang family." Yu Ruoxu's heart tightened, but his face was not abnormal, he just felt a little ironic, "He himself is surnamed Xue." ”

"Not really." Yu Zhongjun thought for a while, "Although the Liang family is still in the general trend, the emperor has refuted the excerpts sent by the Liang family several times in a row, and several of them are still from the Marquis of Dingyuan. If it weren't for the Queen Mother pressing on it, I'm afraid it would ......"

The more Yu Ruoxu listened, the more frightened she became, "Does the emperor want to move the Liang family?" ”

"Not yet." Yu Zhongjun shook his head, "After all, the emperor is young, and the queen mother is in charge of the government, so he has no strength to move the Liang family now." ”

Yu Ruoxu fell into deep thought, according to common sense, at present, the Liang family is in power, and the Yu family's entry into the court could have balanced the power of the court, and the emperor should be trying his best to entrap him, but now why is it the queen mother's reuse, and the emperor strikes?

At the mention of the thirteen-year-old little emperor, she recalled the phrase "the crippled waste of the right hand", and she couldn't help but feel a palpitation when she heard such harsh words from the mouth of a half-year-old child.

"Daddy." Yu Ruoxu asked, "What do you think, what is the emperor's temperament?" “

Yu Zhongjun stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "The emperor is talented and intelligent, and he is extremely precocious. After that, he added, "It's a pity that I am cold by nature, and I am a little paranoid, I am afraid that he is not a benevolent monarch." ”

Thin and cool by nature, and a little paranoid......

Yu Ruoxu was silent. At this time, Xiu'er's voice came from outside, "Master, Miss, it's time for dinner." ”

"Let's eat first, and we'll talk about it when there's something to do." Yu Zhongjun looked a little tired, "You have been wronged today, and you don't go to the study after eating, do something you like to solve it." “

Yu Ruoxu also had a lot of energy to sort out the paperwork again, "My daughter knows." ”

After dinner, Yu Ruoxu took a petal bath for a while, then changed into a nightgown, took a folk book on the shelf, and leaned on the beauty couch to read it by himself.

The book is about the folk rumors of the Taizu period, saying that there is a master of incense making in the capital, and the various incense powders produced are deeply liked by the nobles and ladies in the capital. Not only that, this incense master Pianpian is also a beautiful woman in the city, many famous sons are admiring and asking to marry, but she is concerned about her fiancé who died young, and she actually rejected all marriages, but those sons who asked to marry are still in an endless stream.

In the end, the master of incense making couldn't bear it anymore, so he mixed red peony in a son's sachet and was invited to the incense party of the Big Buddha Temple. The Big Buddha Temple is a royal temple, since the incense is at its peak, the red peony and the sandalwood enshrined in the temple are mixed, this son suddenly started crazy, pulled out the knife he was wearing and stabbed at the incense master.

Seeing this thrilling scene, everyone was so frightened that everyone scattered, and this incense master also pretended to be stabbed, and then left the capital in the name of recuperating from his injuries.

Seeing this, Yu Ruoxu's heart seemed to have a flash of lightning, and she hurriedly called, "Xiu'er! ”

"Miss, what's wrong?" Xiu'er's voice came from outside.

"You bring me the medicine bag I wore these days, as well as the prescription." Yu Ruoxu's heart sank, today in the hall, he seemed to be asking about the sandalwood fragrance of the Buddha bead bracelet before he began to feel restless, so if there is a red peony in the medicine bag, it will be ten away from the ** he guessed.

Xiu'er took the medicine bag and the prescription that she hadn't had time to throw away to Yu Ruoxu's house, "Miss, this was replaced today, and the prescription is also here." ”

Yu Ruoxu took a closer look at Fang Zi with the flickering lights, but did not see the red peony. She carefully opened the medicine bag again, and suddenly felt a shock in her heart, pointing to one of the medicinal herbs and said, "How can there be a red peony in this?" ”

"Huh?" Xiu'er was a little confused, so she picked up the prescription again and said right, "Why did they get the medicine wrong?" It's supposed to be a white peony! ”

Red peony and white peony are somewhat similar in appearance, and people who don't understand pharmacology can't distinguish them at all.

Yu Ruoxu has experienced a lot of backyard battles in the Yu family's mansion since she was a child, and just in case, her father and mother have taught her how to identify some basic medicinal materials, but Xiu'er doesn't know these.

"Who are they?" Yu Ruoxu frowned.

"The medicine girl who sent the herbs." Xiu'er looked annoyed, "But the slave maid obviously remembers to check it several times......"

"It may also be that someone stole it after it was sent to Yufu." Yu Ruoxu saw Xiu'er's face wrinkled, "Don't blame yourself, I don't blame you." ”

"It's all because the slave is too careless, I should check it a few more times!" Xiu'er bit her lower lip and looked like she was about to cry, "When I was in Langzhong before, Miss was almost ......"

"Alright." Yu Ruoxu had a headache when she saw her crying, and hurriedly persuaded her, "It's better to have more eyes next time than to cry here." And I'm not doing well, am I? ”

Xiu'er sobbed, "The slave understands. The slave maid just felt sorry for Miss, she had suffered a lot when she was in Langzhong, thinking that she had come to the capital, and finally left that place, but she didn't expect someone to harm Miss again......"

Yu Ruoxu was speechless.

In the past, it was just an open and secret battle between some women in the house, but this time the emperor and the nobles joined forces to harm her. She couldn't help but laugh, it seemed that her status was higher than she thought.

The hospital has strict records of delivering medicines, so the chances of the doctor delivering the wrong medicine are not very high. And she was even more suspicious that it was the hidden imps in the mansion who sneaked into the room and changed their medicinal herbs.

Sandalwood and red peony...... She sneered, thinking that their purpose was to make herself speak disrespectfully, so as to drag her father and the entire Yu family into the water, but she didn't expect that she wanted to go crazy by herself.

If you go crazy in the Taimiao and attack the little emperor or a certain lady...... She had some palpitations, Taimiao saw blood, and the ceremony of praying for rain was bound to be suspended, and the Yu family was really going to be beheaded at that time.

She finally understood why Song Guiren inexplicably gave her nephrite paperweight, firstly, to provoke her, and secondly, wasn't this a ready-made murder weapon?

It's just that she doesn't understand, what happened to make the emperor and Song Guiren suddenly attack her?

Xiu'er sobbed and cried, but Yu Ruoxu on the side was silent. Xiu'er looked at it, and her young lady had already fallen into deep thought, and she didn't have time to pay attention to her. She pursed her lips, suppressed her cries, cleaned up the mess on the table, and quietly withdrew.

Yu Ruoxu looked at the hazy moonlight outside the window and thought, it seems that it is time to hire some caretakers.
