In Kunning Palace.

"Boom!"

Empress Lu overturned the tea cup in her hand to the ground with a look of anger, and the shards of the sapphire tea cup fell to the ground, and the green tea soup spilled on the ground looked like a small landscape painting.

The sudden seizure caused the eunuchs and maids in the palace to panic, and they all knelt down and dared not raise their heads and said respectfully.

"Queen calm down."

Empress Lu held a letter in her hand, her pampered slender fingers gradually tightened, until the letter was crumpled into a ball before she slapped it heavily on the table.

Chu Wen came with his hands behind his back.

The eunuchs and maids seemed to be relieved, and hurriedly said.

"See His Royal Highness."

Seeing Queen Lu's unhappy face, Chu Wen raised his hand to everyone, and a gentle smile flashed across his handsome face.

"You go down first."

The servants in the room breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly cleaned up the debris and residue on the ground and retreated.

In an instant, only Empress Lu and Chu Wen were left in the hall.

"Mother, what made you so angry?"

Empress Lu breathed out, rubbed her eyebrows lightly with her fingertips, and said coldly.

"You can read the news from outside the palace!"

Chu Wen walked in with a puzzled face, and picked up the crumpled letter on the table. His face gradually changed from puzzled to nervous and frightening.

"How could there be sudden floods? Zizhou has never heard of it every year?"

Empress Lu frowned and snorted.

"Sooner or later, a memorial will come to the capital for this matter. How did you do it? Are you so thoughtless because no one mentions it? Even if there were no floods in previous years, you should make preparations for this matter in advance."

Chu Wen's face was gloomy, and the hands behind him gradually tightened.

A few months ago, he learned that Zixiang Mountain at the junction of Zizhou and Tongzhou had all the treasures for him, so he secretly sent excavators there. Naturally, not many people knew about it and could not tell the world.

But a few days ago, days of heavy rains in Zizhou caused floods, and a landslide occurred on Zixiang Mountain, crushing all his people under the mountain.

On the surface, more than 100 people disappeared, but now only more than 80 corpses have been found, and more than 50 people have disappeared. He naturally guessed where the rest were.

The corpses dug up by the government were all dug out of the silt accumulated by the landslide. Now that the silt has been cleared and there are so many people who have disappeared, the government will naturally report it.

The local officials in Zizhou and Tongzhou are not in the same line as the prince, and the mountains and rivers are far away and Chu Wen can't win people's hearts.

He was really worried that if this matter was really moved to the court, so many lives would be investigated thoroughly by the emperor, and once his selfish intentions were uncovered as the prince, he might not be able to gain the trust of the emperor again.

"Mother, this matter is due to the negligence of the son, please ask the mother to revise the book and grandfather to help the son overcome this hurdle!"

Empress Lu sighed, the headaches became more and more frequent.

"What's the use of looking for him? Once this matter is brought to light, whoever begs for mercy will end up with a wolfish ambition. Could it be that you are going to kill the entire Lu family?"

Chu Wen's face was gloomy, if he was not saved, the future of the Lu family would be gone!
Empress Lu's headache intensified, and her delicate face became tense.

"The queen mother has a terrible headache, go to Dongchang and ask Duke Wan if there is any good way."

"Do remember not to tell the whole story about Zizhou."

When Chu Wen heard this, his face softened, he forgot that Wan Guiquan had returned to the capital.

"Yes, this son-in-law will pass on the imperial physician to the mother first, and then go to Dongchang."

Empress Lu breathed a sigh of relief again, frowned and closed her eyes slightly.

"No need, the group of mediocre doctors in the palace tried to cure this windy disease in the palace, but it didn't help, so you go!"

After hearing Queen Lu's words, Chu Wen still ordered the maidservant of Kunning Palace to invite the imperial physician, while he went to Dongchang without delay.

Sure enough, when Chu Wen met Wan Guiquan, he was much more respectful than Chu Yu.

"Duke Wan!"

Wan Guiquan let out a burst of laughter in his high-pitched voice, seeing that Chu Wen's expression was not as good as before.

"His Royal Highness is being polite. Seeing His Highness's complexion, our family seems to have something to worry about?"

Chu Wen smiled and gave an overview of what happened in Zizhou, but naturally he didn't mention what he sent people to Zizhou for.

Wan Guiquan kept smiling slightly, narrowing his long and narrow eyes to look at Chu Wen.

He snorted coldly in his heart, Chu Wen was indeed an unfamiliar dog, and he had the guts to leave him and do such a thing before he was firmly seated as the crown prince.

After Chu Wen finished speaking, Wan Guiquan picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"Our family doesn't know what is under Zixiang Mountain, but since His Highness is worried about this matter, our family thinks it's okay to find a scapegoat to take over this matter."

Chu Wen was taken aback, scapegoat?
"Who does Duke Wan want to turn to?"

Wan Guiquan laughed again.

"Since he is a scapegoat, he is naturally useless to His Highness."

The news of His Royal Highness Chu Wen's entry and exit from the East Factory soon reached Chu Yu.

Zelan had a smile on his face.

"Master's guess is right, something happened in Zizhou."

Chu Yu stared coldly at the news from the Shadow Guard.

"After waiting for two months, I didn't expect a flood to help me!"

Zelan immediately suppressed his smile.

"Master, can this matter destroy Chu Wen in one fell swoop?"

Chu Yu exhaled lightly, tapped the table with his fingers, and took a while to speak.

"Of course not. After all, how many people helped him up together would not let him go. At this moment, he should be looking for a scapegoat everywhere."

Zelan clenched his hands.

"Master, is it possible that this incident will cost the life of one of them?"

Chu Yu's face became gloomy, and he withdrew his fingers, his brows and eyes were full of coldness.

"Their lives are not easy to win. But there should be a fire between the two in the harem."

"Will Su Youning come to give acupuncture tomorrow?"

Zelan cupped his hands.

"According to the day, it's time to give acupuncture to His Highness."

Chu Yu's face was sullen, it was time for Su Youning to do something for him.

The next day, at the end of summer, there was a cool breeze in the morning, and there was a beautiful scene in Luoxue Pavilion.

It's rare that Su Youning didn't study medicine, so he took some hairpins made of oriental beads from the jewelry box to play with.

Ruyi came over with tea and looked at the hairpin in Su Youning's hand, which had already taken shape, and couldn't help but praise it.

"When did the concubine have such a handicraft? The servant didn't even know that this hairpin looks better than Wan Qingsi's."

Su Youning compared with the hairpin suspiciously.

"Really?"

Ruyi nodded with a smile.

"That's still fake. I don't usually see the princess making these things. It's really very skillful."

In the previous life, Su Youning was in the Shen Mansion, apart from studying medical and cooking skills every day, when he was bored, he would make some small things by himself to pass the time.

Many things in three years will naturally make perfect.

Now Su Youning still clearly remembers the various hairpins she drew in her previous life.

Su Youning raised her eyebrows, and caressing the Dongzhu on the hairpin with downcast eyes, suddenly an idea popped up.

In this life, she has too many things to do.

If she always only depends on others to get what she wants, it will be unreliable after all. Wouldn't it be great if she had a place where she could get news and make connections!
She suddenly accelerated the movement of making the hairpin in her hand.

In the afternoon, Su Youning went to the main courtyard to perform acupuncture for Chu Yu as usual.

After continuous acupuncture, Chu Yu's legs not only regained consciousness, but also moved a lot easier on the soft couch.

Chu Yu gained trust in Su Youning's medical skills, and immediately stopped concealing it, and told the whole story about his tampering with his legs.

Su Youning was taken aback for a moment, but she was not too surprised, but slowly withdrew the silver needle from his leg carefully.

"Since my concubine has the ability to heal His Highness's legs, I naturally know what you haven't told me."

"However, since His Highness informed you today that it was poisoning, then next time you won't give needles like this again."

Chu Yu's eyes turned cold.

"How about you?"

Su Youning showed a playful smile, and her big eyes flickered.

"Naturally, the knee is cut open to release the old poisonous blood, so, is Your Highness afraid of pain?"
