Chapter 38: Zheng Xiu enters the palace
Shen Ruohan was a little desperate, and even had a faint idea in his heart that he wanted to give up Qin Lingxiao and leave the capital, anyway, the world was so big, as long as he found a random place to cat, even if Qin Lingjue became the emperor, he might not be able to find him.
It's just that in this way, he will have to give up the monstrous power in his hands now, so he will not make such a decision unless he has to.
Since he didn't give a report, then he could only break in, but before that, he still asked, and after the eunuch clearly refused, Shen Ruohan no longer hesitated, pushed the other party away, and rushed to Qin Lingxiao's palace.
When Shen Ruohan entered, Qin Lingxiao was doing something with Liu Yanran that adults understand, Liu Yanran had been pestering him tightly these days, and he was busy with his beloved concubine Zhou Gong ceremony, so how could he have time to meet Shen Ruohan.
And he didn't expect Shen Ruohan to have the courage to break through, fortunately, he reacted quickly, and at the moment when Shen Ruohan was about to enter the door, he quickly wrapped Liu Yanran in a quilt, and then scolded Shen Ruohan angrily: "Bastard, get out!"
After seeing the scene in the room, Shen Ruohan was also a little embarrassed, he immediately retreated, and after a while, Qin Lingxiao came out, seeing his gloomy expression, he said coldly: "If it's not too important, I can't spare you!"
In the past two days, Shen Ruohan has been begging to see him and say that he has something important to report, but Liu Yanran happened to be here, so he didn't meet him.
Now that the other party had forcibly barged in at the risk of provoking him, it was obvious that there was really something important, so Qin Lingxiao did not punish him immediately after he came out, but gave him a chance to make up for his mistakes.
Hearing this, Shen Ruohan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Qin Lingjue has been making small moves recently, and he has secretly enveloped many ministers, I am afraid that he will be forced into the palace!"
Well?
Hearing this, Qin Lingxiao froze, he didn't expect that the other party not only didn't flee the capital quickly, but also dared to woo his courtiers under his nose, it was simply unreasonable!
Thinking of this, Qin Lingxiao's expression was gloomy, "Do you know which ministers were co-opted by him?" ”
Hearing this, Shen Ruohan shook his head, saying that he didn't know, he just noticed that some ministers had defected to Qin Lingjue, and it was not clear who they were.
Qin Lingxiao couldn't sit still, although he didn't care much about those courtiers, but he also knew that since ancient times, subjects have been the foundation of the country, and it would be troublesome if Qin Lingxiao was really coerced away.
Thinking of this, he immediately sent Shen Ruohan to investigate the matter, and he couldn't even care about finding Princess Shi Yao, so he drafted some documents and sent them to Beiqiang, and then asked Emperor Beiqiang to give him some more time.
After receiving Qin Lingxiao's order, Shen Ruohan immediately left the palace and began to investigate, and for a while, everyone in the officials was in danger.
Just checking and checking, Shen Ruohan found out that Shen Ruogu was there, and he found that she had been very close to the Chen family recently, with the idea that she would rather kill by mistake than let go, coupled with her relationship with Liu Yanran, so he planned to kill Qin Lingxiao first and then play.
However, how could Shen Ruogu be restrained?
When he brought the troops over, she withdrew all the people in her palace, and she took Shi Yao to Jiang Feng and temporarily handed Shi Yao into his hands.
However, she didn't plan to face Shen Ruohan alone, she planned to go out of the palace first to avoid it, but unfortunately the palace gate had already been blocked by Shen Ruohan's people, and Shen Ruogu couldn't get out, so she had no choice but to go back.
However, she did not go back to her palace, but went to the cold palace that ordinary people would not go to, which has been deserted for many years, and because no one has been disturbing, the weeds are dense, and it is no problem to hide alone.
It's just that after Shen Ruogu entered, she found that she was standing still no matter how she walked, seeing this, she suddenly realized that she was in the way of others, but she didn't know if Shen Ruohan sent someone to arrange it.
On the other side, Shen Ruohan led people to the palace where Shen Ruogu was, and after sending someone in to search it, he found that the entire palace was empty, and Shen Ruogu's figure disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, Shen Ruohan became more and more sure that she had a problem, so he reported the matter to Qin Lingxiao, he also realized that something was wrong, but he didn't want to embarrass Liu Yanran, so he hid it from her and asked Shen Ruohan to search for her everywhere in the palace, but unfortunately the whole afternoon had passed, and still found nothing.
On the other side, Qin Lingjue received news from his subordinates and knew that Shen Ruogu was in danger, but he himself was now being watched by Qin Lingxiao and Shen Ruohan's people, and he could not enter the palace to rescue Shen Ruogu for the time being.
So he asked people to invite Zheng Xiu, who also came to the capital a few days ago to rescue her, because he was not worried about Shen Ruogu.
After all, Zheng Xiu used to be the head of the Imperial Hospital in the palace, and she was very familiar with the palace, so it was easier to send her than others to infiltrate the palace.
Hearing that Shen Ruogu was in danger, Zheng Xiu did not refuse, and after changing herself into a palace maid who went out of the palace to buy, and then took away the palace faction on her, Zheng Xiu successfully blended into the palace.
And after entering the palace, Zheng Xiu did not immediately go to look for Shen Ruogu, but caught a guard sent by Shen Ruohan to find Shen Ruogu, and obtained information from him.
Especially because of the information provided by that guard, Zheng Xiu directly ruled out most of the places where it had been determined that there was no Shen Ruogu's whereabouts, so there were not many places left to hide.
Because Zheng Xiu is an old man in the palace, she is very familiar with many places that other people don't know, because the first place she went to find was the cold palace.
Unexpectedly, she really found a place this time, but it was different from what she imagined, Shen Ruogu was trapped in the cold palace, if she hadn't entered the palace to rescue her, maybe she would have been trapped here without Shen Ruohan's help.
And it just so happened that Zheng Xiu was not only proficient in medical skills, but also proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, and it was easy to break the formation that Shen Ruogu couldn't solve and save her from it.
Seeing Zheng Xiu, Shen Ruogu was surprised and happy, and said happily: "Master, why are you here?"
"If I don't come, who will help you out?" Zheng Xiu snorted coldly, obviously very dissatisfied with her behavior of entering the palace rashly and now being trapped here because she was too reckless.
Hearing this, Shen Ruogu laughed dryly, "That...... Master, how did you know I was trapped in the cold palace? ”
Hearing this, Zheng Xiu told her the cause and effect of the matter, and when she learned that it was Qin Lingjue who informed Zheng Xiu to save her, Shen Ruogu's mood was a little complicated.
She didn't expect that the other party still cared about her, and even arranged someone to guard her.
