Chapter 1097: Play Hard to Get, Set a Golden Hook
When Chu Liuchen rushed to Beijing overnight, Shao Wanru welcomed the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor brought a medical girl with him. After checking Shao Wanru's pulse, the medical girl came in again and changed Shao Wanru's medicine. After changing the medicine, she left.
The eldest princess Ruian was sitting outside with a serious look on her face, and the doctor girl stepped forward to salute.
"How is Princess Chen's injury?" Princess Ruian said coldly, her face tense.
"My eldest princess, Princess Chen needs to take good care of herself." The doctor replied respectfully.
"How is her health?" Princess Ruian asked again.
"Princess Chen was seriously injured." The doctor had to say that although she was mentally prepared, she was shocked when she saw Princess Chen's appearance. It was almost like something serious would happen. Fortunately, luckily it was just a little bit close.
Thinking of the location of the injury, the doctor woman still felt scared for a while.
There is a tremor in the palace, all because of this Princess Chen. If something really happens to her, the palace is not sure how to clean it up. Even so, everyone in the palace is in danger now, for fear that they will be found out accidentally. Even the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital was implicated, and he never came back after being taken away.
Anyone who is not careful with his words and actions at this time may be afraid of being killed if he is not careful.
"How are the medicines you are taking now?" Princess Ruian's face looked ugly. Everyone knew that she loved her lost granddaughter, so it was normal for her face to look ugly.
"The wound medicine used is very good." The doctor woman said hurriedly.
Princess Ruian stopped asking questions and waved her hand to let her go down.
The medical girl carefully retreated out of the door, followed the imperial doctor who brought her, and left Prince Chen's Mansion. When she returned to the palace, she went to see the emperor first.
The medical woman naturally told the truth and did not dare to lie at all. After the emperor heard this, he let them go down and then began to think deeply.
Princess Chen was really injured, and she was seriously injured. She almost lost her life, so it really couldn't be related to Chu Liuchen.
Chu Liuchen's thoughts towards the young Princess Chen were unclear to others, but the emperor knew it. It was also because of Princess Chen that Chu Liuchen stopped his previous self-destructive behavior, and his health gradually improved, instead of before. He didn't listen no matter what he said and just allowed his health to get worse and worse.
From this point, we can see Chu Liuchen's thoughts towards Shao Wanru. It is absolutely impossible for Chu Liuchen to hurt Shao Wanru, and the injury was so severe that it almost killed her.
Shao Wanru is someone who cares more about Chu Liuchen's own life than Chu Liuchen.
From this point of view, the emperor has finally cleared up his last suspicion about Chu Liuchen. It cannot be Chu Liuchen.
The emperor only knew that Chu Liuchen could not hurt Shao Wanru, but he never thought that Shao Wanru would take the initiative to give him a sword in order to clear the emperor's suspicion of Chu Liuchen.
Just because Chu Liuchen wouldn't attack her didn't mean that she wouldn't. Moreover, she was also proficient in medical skills and knew where to start from. It looked like the most dangerous place, but in fact, she easily avoided the most dangerous place.
The emperor never expected that the seemingly weak Princess Chen would be so decisive and so cruel to him.
There are many intrigues among the women in the palace, and there are also some who are cruel and ruthless to others, even vicious, but they are all for others and themselves, how can they be so decisive and cruel.
In addition, Shao Wanru's appearance was the same as Chu Liuchen's, which was inherently deceptive. No one thought that Shao Wanru had done the sword himself.
If you don't doubt Shao Wanru, you won't doubt that the person using the military crossbow is Chu Liuchen.
In the next few days, security was tightened in the imperial city and palace, and anyone suspicious was immediately arrested and interrogated.
Actually, many suspicious people were discovered. The Ministry of Punishment sent the interrogation and training to the emperor. The emperor was so angry that he slapped the table hard: "The remnants of the previous dynasty! They are still alive!"
"Your Majesty, this matter is related to the remnants of the previous dynasty. I heard that some people lived near Prince Chen's Mansion at that time, and then disappeared!" the Minister of Punishment reported.
He sent people to arrest a lot of people, most of them were kind-hearted, only a few were very suspicious, but it was not easy to pry open their mouths. Only one or two of them loosened their mouths and confessed some, but He didn't explain much. He was only responsible for a small part of the affairs and didn't know much.
"Search the entire capital. If anyone is related to the remnants of the previous dynasty, kill them all." The emperor said bitterly.
The previous dynasty has been gone for so many years, but there are still remnants who are making trouble secretly, and now they are even making trouble in his palace.
"Your Majesty, I feel that this matter should be done by remnants of the previous dynasty. The purpose is to make the Emperor distrust the princes. The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon, so the princes should be released first." Wen Xiang Jin Yan said.
Zhang Xiang looked at Wen Xiang, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty, since King Yue and King Zhou have no suspicion, let them be released first. We cannot keep them locked up on the Queen Mother's birthday."
"Your Majesty, I will definitely investigate the affairs of the remnants of the previous dynasty, and we must not let these remnants have another chance to cause trouble." The Minister of Punishment assured.
The emperor was silent, and after a while he said: "This matter has not been investigated clearly yet!"
"Your Majesty, although this matter has not been investigated clearly, it is definitely related to the remnants of the previous dynasty. The two princes are always locked up like this, which has a bad reputation for them. In the future..." Zhang Xiang paused here. , everyone in the royal study room understands the meaning behind the words.
If nothing unexpected happens, the future throne will definitely fall on these two people. No matter whether these two people are locked up at this time, it will always be a stain on the future emperor. Now that the remnants of the previous dynasty have been found out, Just blaming this whole thing on the remnants of the previous dynasty is at least an explanation.
Wen Xiang also echoed: "Your Majesty, it is best to release the two princes first. The day after tomorrow is the birthday of the Queen Mother. To release them at this time is not only to express the love between the brothers of the Tian family, but also to express the innocence of the two princes." Very good, as for the others, you can check them secretly!"
There are some things that Zhang Xiang can't say, but Wen Xiang can. Zhang Xiang's daughter is going to marry King Yue as his concubine, so his status is no longer transcendent.
Wen Xiang is different and has no direct relationship with the two princes, so it is easier to speak impartially.
Seeing what they all said, the emperor nodded: "Let King Yue and King Zhou be released first, but even if they are released, they are not allowed to enter the palace if they have nothing to do. They can study more in the mansion."
This is to remove the guards in front of the two palaces, but there is no plan to let them run outside, to change from passive supervision to conscious confinement, so as to look good to outsiders.
The two prime ministers nodded, thinking it was appropriate to handle the matter this way.
"Come here, the guards in front of Fengyi Palace have also withdrawn!" The emperor ordered again. Since King Zhou has no suspicion, the queen cannot keep supervision.
A eunuch responded.
Shao Wanru's injury healed fairly quickly, but it was also on his left arm. As long as he didn't move his left hand, just be careful.
However, she looked very pale after losing too much blood, with no trace of blood. She leaned on the bed and asked several maids to take out the table screen she had prepared. Maple Leaf Painting locked it up early. This time The birthday gift she prepared for the Queen Mother was this table screen.
"Princess, do you really want to hang up such a fence?" Yu Jie looked at the fence in her hand, gestured, and turned around to ask.
No matter how you look at it, this hem is inappropriate. The large and long beard is originally very nice to look at, but when paired with this elegant table screen, it doesn’t look pleasing to your eye.
"Just use this one!" Shao Wanru nodded. She thought about it for the past two days and decided to use the fencing mentioned by Granny Wei.
"Princess, you said before that it is best to use the original one at this time, which is inconspicuous? Why do you still need to use this one? This one seems bad at first glance!" Qu Le also advised.
"Before, I didn't want to make a provocation because the situation at the time was inappropriate. But now it's different. Even if my table screen is inappropriate, the Queen Mother will not be angry. If such a table screen is presented to me, the Queen Mother will definitely become suspicious!" Shao Wanru said proudly! He raised his long eyelashes and smiled softly.
"Why?" Yujie asked puzzledly, looking at the long tassel in her hand.
"What do you think of such an incongruous situation?" Shao Wanru asked with a smile.
"I wonder if the princess did it on purpose?" Qu Le hesitated for a moment and said, deliberately making the table screen look like this. It doesn't make sense if it wasn't intentional.
"I'm still injured, and the injury is particularly serious." Shao Wanru said pointedly.
Yujie rolled her eyes, "The princess is still sick, and the table and screen she gave her are so uncoordinated. The Queen Mother will definitely wonder if someone has tampered with this matter. Even if she didn't say it at the time, she already knows it in her heart!"
"Princess, do you want the Queen Mother to investigate this matter?" Qu Le's eyes lit up and she felt that she understood.
Shao Wanru shook his head: "No!"
"No?" The two maids were stunned. Both Yu Jie and Qu Le actually thought so. If it wasn't for this reason, why did it happen again?
"Your Majesty will return to Beijing soon. He cannot investigate this assassination incident even if he wants to. The Emperor will not let him investigate, nor will he let him interfere. At most, he will just listen to it, but this The table and screen matter is different, relatively speaking, it is less important, and there is no political reason. If the prince insists on intervening, the emperor will definitely allow it."
Chu Liuchen was about to return to Beijing, with a soft smile overflowing from the corner of his lips. Although he didn't have much time to go, he always thought of him inadvertently and looked forward to his early return to Beijing. Thinking about it, he would see him soon. He cried, and a faint blush appeared on his face, which appeared on his pale face, surprisingly soft.
Of course, even those who know that the sword wound was stabbed by her will not look at it this way. This is what the two maids think. Of course, the princess's softness is just an illusion seen by others. I don't know how powerful the princess is, how can she be like ordinary people? Women are just as weak and powerless, but of course, His Highness King Chen is different.
Seeing the smile on Shao Wanru's face, the two maids couldn't help but smile. His Highness was about to return to the capital. The princess finally had someone to rely on. She would never give her a sword again, right? After a while, several maids almost fainted from fright. After all, no one expected that the princess would make such a move. This was not within the budget...
