Chapter 333: The Prince's Nurse
"The Prince's nurse?"
Su Ruan squinted his eyes, and his impression was a very vague person.
During that chaotic time, the Xie family, the crown prince, the court, and the Empress Dowager Qian, Concubine Yu......
Too many things have happened, Su Ruan has no impression of the so-called nurse of the prince, and it seems that she has never heard of anything related to the prince's nurse.
It's just that since Xie Qingheng said that the prince asked him to check, maybe there is something in the middle.
Su Ruan looked at Xie Qingheng and asked, "Do you know how that person died?" ”
Xie Qingheng shook his head: "The prince said that the people below reported that they had stumbled and fallen off the cliff, but they still have to go and see what the specific situation is." ”
Seeing Su Ruan frowning, Xie Qingheng explained:
"How busy things have been in the palace in the past few days, the prince has to accompany the emperor and deal with the eldest prince, and he has no time to go out of the city, and if the prince makes a move, it will be too eye-catching."
"Actually, it's not a big deal to die a person, it's just because the prince's family has been doing things for the prince, and the person who died happened to help the prince do some personal things before, so the prince is a little worried, it just so happens that I don't have to go to the East Palace during this time, and not many people look at me when I go out of the city for fun, so the prince asked me to find time to go out of the city to see the situation."
Anything, but it is not a trivial matter when it involves the prince.
The prince's nurse has always been close to the prince, and the prince also takes special care of the nurse's family.
The dead man had also done some things for the prince in the past, and although it didn't matter, it was always right to be more careful.
Su Ruan had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't say much.
Now it has not been long since the poisoning and assassination of the prince in the previous life, Su Ruan heard that something happened to the people around the prince, and he always felt that there might be some connection, but many things in this life are different from the previous life, the Xie family has not fallen, but the second prince and the Bo family have fallen.
Empress Dowager Qian is now trapped in the palace, and Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty has quieted down since the last time he had an argument with her.
Without these people in front, the people who originally dealt with the prince may give up, or they may look for another opportunity, but there is no guarantee that they will not continue to take risks.
It's just that Su Ruan can't tell Xie Qingheng about these things, because she doesn't know who the person who did it to the prince is, and she doesn't know if there will be other changes because of her appearance.
If she arrogantly said that the prince would be poisoned and stabbed, and even endanger her life, whether she could win the trust of the prince or not, she would have to fall into it first.
After all, how did she explain to people where all this news came from?
You can't always know out of thin air that someone is bad for the prince.
Su Ruan tightened his eyebrows, and after thinking about it in his heart, he could only say: "The prince has a special status, and it is good to be careful about things related to him." ”
"It's just big brother, don't act alone when you go out of the city, remember to bring people with you."
"If that man's death is just a stumble, but if there is really something strange in it, you may be in danger if you go to investigate."
"I know."
Xie Qingheng responded, and seeing her frowning eyebrows and worried face, he couldn't help but pat her on the head:
"Okay, I'm not telling you this to worry about you, this is not a big deal, it's just that the prince has always been cautious and asked me to go to investigate, and there will be no danger in thinking about it."
"Besides, if that person is really harmed, it must involve secret things, I am also a close minister of the prince, the son of the Marquis of Xuanping, who would be so brainless to attack me first on the premise of wanting to frame His Royal Highness the prince, aren't you afraid of revealing traces?"
"It's the New Year soon, don't be sad, otherwise your grandmother will see it, and she will say that I won't let you stop."
Su Ruan smiled reluctantly when he heard this, and could only put the matter down for the time being, looked up at Xie Qingheng and said, "When is the big brother going to leave the city?" ”
Xie Qingheng said: "After the New Year, the day after tomorrow, tomorrow my grandmother said that I would go to Minghui Hall to celebrate the New Year's ceremony together, and I will go to meet some elders on the first and second days of the new year, and I will go with my uncle to pay tribute to my mother on the third day of the new year." ”
"After the fourth year of junior high school, I will only have time, and I will find an opportunity to go out of the city when the time comes."
Su Ruan nodded: "Then the big brother will be careful after he leaves the city." ”
Xie Qingheng smiled: "Don't worry. ”
"Miss, eldest son."
Cheng'er came in with the decoction, and after saluting the two of them, she handed the medicine bowl to Su Ruan: "Miss, it's time to drink the medicine." ”
Su Ruan took the medicine bowl, tested the temperature of the decoction with his mouth, felt that it was not hot, and drank it directly, and after drinking, Cheng'er skillfully handed over a candied fruit, and after Su Ruan stuffed it into his mouth, he felt that the bitter taste in his mouth was suppressed.
"When will you be the first to drink medicine?"
Xie Qingheng looked at the medicine bowl and felt bitterness in his mouth.
Cheng'er took the medicine bowl beside her, and said: "Miss, I'm afraid it's still early to drink the medicine, Imperial Doctor Wei said that Miss has damaged the foundation this time, even if she is cured, she has to continue to drink the decoction until she recuperates her body." ”
Xie Qingheng suddenly said when he heard this: "It's really miserable. ”
Su Ruan pursed his mouth beside him, chewed on the candied fruit and said, "No, I just want my body to get better now, even if I drink less medicine." ”
She had enough of the taste of the decoction.
After drinking the medicine for two lifetimes, she is almost a medicine jar, and there is a bitter smell of medicine from the inside out.
Xie Qingheng didn't stay long, and left first after accompanying Su Ruan to talk, but before leaving, he told Su Ruan to go to Minghui Hall early on the second day.
When Cai Qian came in with hot water to wash Su Ruan, Su Ruan was a little curious: "In previous years, would there be sacrifices before the middle of the house?" ”
Cai Qian didn't understand a little, but just shook his head: "In previous years, there was none." ”
"It has been several years since the slave maid entered the mansion, and the rules in the mansion have not been big, and the old lady does not like those cumbersome things, so every year it is the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, Hou Ye and the eldest lord leave the year and worship together, and this year I don't know how to change it to twenty-nine."
"But the slave maid heard that the old lady seems to pay special attention to it this year, and asked the kitchen to prepare for it, and the eldest master, the Hou master, the third master, and several sons have been advised, no matter what happens tomorrow, they all have to come back."
This is the first time that Cai Qian has seen Mrs. Xie attach so much importance to New Year's gifts.
Su Ruan wiped his hands with a handkerchief, a little puzzled.
Could it be because there are too many things happening in the Xie family this year, so Mrs. Xie wants to do a good job and go to bad luck?
But anyway, she had to go there early tomorrow.
"Picking."
"Miss?"
Su Ruan instructed, "You remember to tell me to get up early tomorrow so that I can go to Minghui Hall." ”
Cai Qian nodded: "Miss, don't worry, the slave remembers." ”
