The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 91
Changing back to the original palace attire on the carriage, Yun Ruochen was too tired to speak, and lay on the seat with his eyes closed to rest.

Fortunately, I vomited thoroughly just now, and emptied out all the problematic food.Coupled with the fact that Gu Che brought hot tea in time so that she could clear her stomach properly, there shouldn't be any serious problems.

It was also at this time that she recalled the embarrassment she had when she and Gu Che faced each other without any image.Alas, I won't be able to pretend to be noble and glamorous in front of Ah Che in the future, it's so embarrassing.

Although she complained a little, Yun Ruochen actually didn't mind being seen by Gu Che losing her composure.If it was Nie Shen, Ye Shenyan, or Zhao Xuan, she would be a little apprehensive.

In terms of emotional intimacy, she and Ye Shenyan are even closer.But Gu Che... Although she had no intention of sharing secrets or discussing political affairs with him, she was very relaxed and natural when getting along with him.

Maybe it's because of Gu Che's own aura?
After a short rest, Yun Ruochen's thoughts turned to Chu Qingbo again.

Due to the situation, she couldn't stay and see the development of the whole thing, which was a pity.

At the beginning of today's collective food poisoning incident, Yun Ruochen didn't think in a deliberate direction.

As far as general logic is concerned, people must have a purpose in doing something.Zhuangyuan Building, a restaurant with a long reputation and a deep background, is naturally very cautious about food, and it stands to reason that it will not serve spoiled or even poisonous food to guests.

What good does it do for Zhuangyuan Building if so many candidates have accidents?

So Yun Ruochen didn't think much about it at first, he just thought that something happened in the kitchen.

But when she realized that the poison in Chu Qingbo's body was different from that of others, she realized the problem.

Apparently, this incident of collective food poisoning of hundreds of people was a smoke bomb created to cover up the poisoning of Chu Qingbo.

Like that old joke says, how to hide a leaf perfectly?The answer is: hide the leaves in the woods.

Chu Qingbo is that leaf.

If she hadn't looked back at him before she left...

Yun Ruochen is not good at dispensing medicine and alchemy, but it doesn't mean she has no knowledge about poison.Chu Qingbo was poisoned by two kinds of poison at the same time.

One is the ordinary spoiled food mixed with what everyone eats and drinks.After eating those foods, many people will have symptoms of abdominal pain and chest tightness, but most of the people present are young and middle-aged, and it will be fine for a few days at most, and there will be no future troubles.

Another kind of poison in him is the real deadly poison.

It's a typical slow poison and doesn't act quickly.Judging from the black blood she squeezed out and the stench of his vomit, the effect of this poison should be to slowly damage the human body's trachea, heart and lungs.

Because everyone seemed to have a stomachache after eating something bad, Chu Qingbo didn't realize that he was different from others at first, and only took ordinary medicine for stomach.After a period of time, the poison had penetrated deep into his lungs, and it should be hard for gods to save him...

What a vicious trick, what a big hand.In order to harm one person, to bring up such a big case, including hundreds of candidates and celebrities in the Hanlin Academy, the murderer is too courageous, right?
Moreover, if the other party was only one person, how could he cut so much food and accurately poison Chu Qingbo's diet?
"Who would have done it..."

Yun Ruochen tapped on the window sill unconsciously with his fingers, opened his eyes, but still pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Seeing that her complexion was not good, Xia Hong never dared to bother her, and asked her what happened to her in the building.For them, as long as the princess comes back safely, other details can be put aside.

"Xia Hong."

Yun Ruochen asked Xia Hong to pour her a cup of hot tea that was warmed in the smoker in the car, and after taking a few sips, he said, "After returning to the palace, how should I explain to the empress, do you know how to do it?"

"The servant understands."

Xia Hong and Madam Zeng responded in unison.Although Yun Ruochen only confessed to Xia Hong, Nanny Zeng could tell that it was a warning to herself not to talk nonsense and cause unnecessary trouble.

Yun Ruochen closed his eyes again.

The superior does not need to explain too much to the subordinates, as long as the order is enough.When Nanny Zeng first came to Yun Ruochen's side as the foster mother, she was able to intervene in Yun Ruochen's affairs and restrain her words and deeds.But as she stayed by Yun Ruochen's side for longer and longer, she unconsciously became more in awe of the little master, and it was hard to say anything about many things.

Thinking about it seriously, Nanny Zeng has this mentality since she doesn't know when.This is where Yun Ruochen is scary.

For example, at this time, they didn't dare to ask Yun Ruochen why he got out of the car in palace attire, but when he came out he looked like a little boy.In fact, it was Yun Ruochen who moved too fast, and within half a stick of incense, he turned to a pawnshop near the Zhuangyuan Building and bought a pair of boy's winter clothes and boots, and changed his clothes in a few moments.

In the past, she and her master traveled the rivers and lakes to experience the world. They have seen all kinds of teachings and nine streams. It is too childish to pretend to be in disguise.

The group finally returned to the palace before the sun set, and a few minutes later, the gate of the palace was about to close.Yun Ruochen didn't even bother to change his clothes, so he went to greet Concubine Duan Gui first, and naturally he would suffer some complaints and reprimands.

Fortunately, Concubine Duan Gui didn't delve too deeply into her itinerary, probably because she didn't expect Yun Ruochen to run around.It can be seen that it is important to manage the image of children painstakingly at ordinary times.

Nanny Zeng and Xia Hong, who were worried at the side, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they passed the test easily.

The next day was the day when Chang Shiyang and Tong Hao went to the palace to give lectures.

The four teachers and students met each other in class, and they all had weird expressions on each other.After all, they experienced an unusual accident together yesterday, and the other three were trying to cover up the fact that Yun Ruochen was there at that time, so how could they be in the same mood as usual?

The teachers were absent-mindedly giving lectures, and Gu Che was also sitting in a daze, the only thing in common was that the eyes of the three of them fell on Yun Ruochen from time to time.When Yun Ruochen looked back innocently, they would subconsciously look away, this situation...

"Should I say it's interesting, or helpless..."

The corners of Yun Ruochen's mouth curled up slightly, and a smile gradually appeared on the brows.

"...Okay, let's stop here today."

Chang Shiyang closed the book, coughed twice, and took a sip of the tea on the table to moisten his throat. "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

"Well, no more."

Yun Ruochen answered straightforwardly, and Gu Che did not understand more than half of it, but he never opened his mouth.Just kidding, if the husband explains it to him in detail, his head will hurt even more, so let's just swallow it like this!
"Then, you copy this passage three times." Chang Shiyang assigned the class homework, but Yun Ruochen took the initiative to say: "Sir, it's snowing today."

Ok?
Chang Shiyang's hand holding the teacup paused in the air.Sitting on the other side of the upper study room, Tong Hao who was turning the pages of the book also raised his head and looked at Yun Ruochen, with something in his eyes.

Yun Ruochen put down his pen, smiled and said: "Anyway, it's still early today, and the snow scene at the Yanyu Lake in Xihua Palace is pretty good, why don't gentlemen take us to enjoy the snow and teach us to write poems, okay? ?”

Both Chang Shiyang and Tong Hao were smart people, and after hesitating for a short time, they both agreed with a smile.

Gu Che naturally had no objection.

Xiaojun mainly went to enjoy the snow with the gentlemen, and Xia Hong naturally quickly took the maids to prepare to go.For a while, those who cleaned, served tea, passed snacks, lighted incense burners... Dozens of court eunuchs arranged the Huxin Pavilion properly in a very short period of time.

When Yun Ruochen and his party came over, Xia Hong was already waiting for the princess in front of the pavilion.

"good."

Yun Ruochen gave Xia Hong a satisfied smile, Xia Hong was overjoyed, and hurriedly lowered her head.

"My gentlemen and I are enjoying the snow here, so don't just stand by and go outside."

The four teachers and students took their seats inside the pavilion, and Yun Ruochen drove Xia Hong and the others away.Xia Hong checked the situation of the tea, snacks and smoker again, and then she took the person out after apologizing.

She vaguely understood that the princess brought people here on purpose, maybe it wasn't as simple as enjoying the snow.Reminiscent of Yun Ruochen and them going to Zhuangyuan Building yesterday, Xia Hong became even more sure of her judgment.

But of course she won't say anything.

She was originally only a second-class court lady in Tsinghua Palace, and there were countless clever seniors above her, who had already occupied important positions beside the imperial concubine.She came late, and at most she was assigned some errands of pouring tea, delivering water, and making beds, because she was cautious and obedient, and she was not very popular.

But no matter how hard she tried, it would be difficult for her to squeeze into the inner circle of the imperial concubine's confidant.Xia Hong is not unambitious, she also wants to be a female official, to become a master, not a little maid who is at the mercy of others all day long.

The arrival of the little Princess is her greatest opportunity.She resorted to some tricks, so that the empress finally took a fancy to her among several candidates, and appointed her to serve the little princess.

Others don't care much about this errand, the princess is just a guest, who knows when she will go out?Xia Hong thought far ahead.

If he could gain the favor of the little princess and become her confidant, and ask the little princess to ask the empress to give her to be her maid, then... I will be able to walk a completely different path from other court ladies in the future.

When the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, Princess Huarong will naturally be named a princess.And if she was still with the little princess at that time, she would be able to become the steward of the princess mansion.She no longer has to live in this suffocating and terrifying deep palace, and she is not even free to dream.

In order to realize this ideal, Xia Hong determined a principle in her heart.That is, as long as the little princess needs it, she will try her best to do it for the little princess.

And Yun Ruochen could guess some of her thoughts.

She didn't think that Xia Hong had a bad plan in mind.On the contrary, she likes such subordinates.

Only those with ambition and ability can be truly used by her.Instead, her two maids, Lianzhi Yinqiao, just stared blankly and didn't think about anything.Loyalty is loyalty, what can you rely on them for?

Yun Ruochen felt that the time had come for him to start training his team.

Just like the gentlemen who "appreciate the snow" in the Huxin Pavilion now...it's time to have a good talk with them.
