Chapter 76 Gu Poison
It's the Queen Mother again! ?
The two looked at each other, and both saw the helplessness in the other's eyes.

Although very annoyed by this, they still had to agree. The two went to the hall together, and saw the nanny next to the queen mother, and brought two imperial doctors to greet her: "My lord, the queen mother is worried about your health, so I specially asked the old man to take you with you." The imperial doctor is here."

But Xiao Chen turned his gaze to the girl in green standing quietly behind Nanny: "Then why Miss Pei came here?"

When the nanny heard this, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Pei understands medical principles and can help the imperial doctor..."

"Okay, the palace doesn't like outsiders, as long as I have the concubine to take care of me, reply to the queen mother for me, I'm very good, don't bother her old man to care."

Xiao Chen was really tired of the empress dowager's actions of stuffing people around him, which directly interrupted the nanny's politeness.

The expression on Mammy's face froze immediately, and it was Pei Zhizhou who stepped forward to comfort her, then turned her head and said softly to Xiao Chen: "My lord, if you don't like seeing Zhizhou, I can leave, but the two imperial doctors are still not happy after all. It is the queen mother's wish, you should accept it."

Mammy was moved when she heard that she was so considerate, and couldn't help being very dissatisfied with King Jing's ignorant behavior: "My lord, Miss Pei has been brought by the Queen Mother's side since she was a child, and she is a person who knows everything. What are you dissatisfied with?"

Xiao Chen twirled the jade ring finger on his thumb, with cold impatience flashing in his eyes: "If Miss Pei hates marriage so much, I know quite a few young talents, and I can introduce you to Miss Pei."

This unsalty sentence seemed to slap Pei Zhizhou's face hard, her face turned completely pale, and her lips trembled: "My lord, even if you are noble, you can't insult people like this. !"

Xiao Chen looked at her with a sneer: "Couldn't it be that Ms. Pei is willing to degrade herself and come to the palace to humiliate herself?"

The nanny immediately stepped forward to protect Pei Zhizhou: "My lord, you are going too far!"

But Xiao Chen had completely lost his patience at this time, and when he was about to chase people away, a small figure ran over and shouted: "It's you! Bad woman! You're the one who vomited blood out of mother's anger!
Spit blood?Xiao Chen was taken aback when he heard this, why didn't he know about this?
Seeing that Lin'er suddenly seemed to be a different person, with murderous intent in his eyes, he was about to rush towards Pei Zhizhou, Xiao Chen hurriedly regained his senses, and shouted: "Fengxi!"

Immediately, Lin'er Ban cut him off halfway, still shouting "Bad woman, kill you", and was carried away.

Xiao Chen rubbed his forehead, only to feel that a bunch of miscellaneous things were crowded together, which gave him a headache.

"This king suddenly feels unwell, so let's stop here for the time being, Hongyu sees you off!"

Without waiting for Mammy to say anything more, Xiao Chen pulled Shen Ruo and pushed him away from here.

"What's the matter with you vomiting blood?"

As soon as he left the hall, Xiao Chen couldn't wait to ask about the situation.

Shen Ruo was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Lin'er to say it casually, so he kept it in his heart, and just explained lightly: "It's not a big deal, maybe it was because he was not in good health at that time, and he vomited some blood because of a surge of energy and blood. , I'm fine now, don't worry."

This makes him not worried, it has been more than two months since the last diagnosis, and Shen Ruo only has three or four months left at most.

It's just that no matter how anxious he was, he didn't show it: "When Lin'er had a fever, I got news about your poison."

Shen Ruo was surprised: "Have you found the antidote?"

"Not yet." Xiao Chen shook his head, and suddenly asked, "Have you heard of Southern Xinjiang Miao Village?"

"I've heard a thing or two that people in southern Xinjiang are good at poisoning. Do they have a way?"

"I got news. It is rumored that there is a Gu worm in Southern Border that can suck thousands of poisons in the world, but this Gu worm is so magical that it has attracted countless people's peeps. Now it has disappeared..."

Xiao Chen said, but there was no follow-up.

Shen Ruo nodded: "Then there is still nothing to do?"

When Xiao Chen heard this, he looked at her dissatisfied: "This king said he would save you, so he will never let you die!"

Shen Ruo smiled reassuringly and did not continue.

……

Now, back to the palace, I finally have a few days of leisure.

However, the snow disaster is still going on, the roads are blocked by the heavy snow, supplies cannot come in, and the people in the capital are gradually running out of ammunition and food.

They are suffering from the cold and starving, but the rich and powerful family are singing and dancing, corrupt and extravagant, and some traders even launched a national calamity, and the price of goods has risen to the sky.

Comparing the two sides, the bold one immediately waved his arms and started to make trouble.

Every day, the sound of confrontation and fighting between the militiamen floated in from outside the palace.

For this reason, Shen Ruo was in a low mood for several days, so she found something to do for herself, and helped Xiao Chen check and massage his legs every day to prevent the muscles on his legs from shrinking.

"It seems that there is not much noise outside today?"

She was squatting in front of the wheelchair, chatting with Xiao Chen while doing rehabilitation.

"Those troublemakers have been caught seven or eight times, so naturally we can't quarrel." Xiao Chen put down the memorial in his hand, picked up the hand on his leg that was massaging him, "Okay, let's do this today, Are your hands tired?"

As he spoke, he turned around and rubbed her fingers for her.

Hongyu on the side looked at it, smirked, and said, "Fortunately, the prince's leg was injured, so he doesn't have to be such a villain."

Shen Ruo couldn't be happy: "What will happen to those who were arrested?"

"The court is still discussing. The crown prince and the prime minister are the leaders, and they are divided into two factions. The crown prince feels that the law does not blame the public, and the people are forced to do this. Small punishments and big warnings are enough."

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, and continued, "And Shen Xiang thinks that we should set an example to others, lest those common people dare to commit crimes again."

Shen Ruo pointed it out: "What about the emperor? What does he think?"

Xiao Chen was silent for a while, didn't speak, just pulled her up, and sat on a stool beside him: "This court affairs is not something you should care about, it's better to rest more and take care of your body first."

But Shen Ruo said bluntly: "Then the emperor intends to kill chickens and monkeys to teach the common people a lesson?"

Xiao Chen was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head again and again with a broken smile: "Sometimes I really don't know whether I should be happy that you are so smart, or worry about it."

She looked serious: "You should be happy."

Not wanting to talk about these disappointing things again, Xiao Chen changed the subject.

Afterwards, the two had lunch together, and someone came to report that Mrs. Xiangyang Hou came to see her.

When Xiao Chen heard this, he frowned and looked at her: "Do you want me to be here?"

Shen Ruo shook her head: "The last time I participated in the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet in Xiangyang Hou's Mansion, Mrs. Hou is still very good, she probably didn't come to trouble me, you man, don't get involved."

Hearing her disgusted tone, Xiao Chen had no choice but to say, "If you need anything, let Hongyu come to the study to find me."

"It's alright, alright, don't worry about mother-in-law." She waved her hand and asked Feng Xi to push the person away, and then she asked the servants to lead Mrs. Hou over.
