New Year's Day.
Early in the morning, Ruan Yunluo received a letter from Jun Yizhen.
In the letter, in addition to the auspicious words of aunt and New Year greetings, the last paragraph got down to business, "Aunt, it is too dangerous for you to stay alone in Xiao's house. To protect my aunt, my nephew gave me a Girl, this girl’s name is Wan Qifu. She has strong martial arts skills and should be able to protect my aunt. By the way, my nephew has bought a new house near Prince Rui’s Mansion. After my aunt regains her freedom, she may be able to use it..."
Seeing this, Ruan Yunluo picked up the house deed attached to the letter.
Seeing that the address was a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle, and that it was indeed not far from Prince Rui's Mansion, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
This kid...
This is because he is worried that she will be bullied after leaving, so he plans to be her backer...
Putting away the house deed with some emotion, Ruan Yunluo looked at the strange girl standing in front of him.
Seeing her tall and straight figure, handsome and graceful features, Ruan Yunluo couldn't help but become interested, "Are you good at martial arts?"
"yes."
Wan Qifu nodded and admitted very frankly.
"So how are your acting skills?"
Ruan Yunluo smiled and suddenly asked a strange question.
"Acting?"
Wan Qifu was in a daze, and she asked in confusion, "Do I need acting skills to protect you?"
"To protect me, you have to stay by my side."
Ruan Yunluo smiled, looked at Wan Qifutong's sharp and sword-like temperament admiringly, and said helplessly: "You look like a woman from the world at first sight, you are too conspicuous in the inner house."
"Then, what does Madam want me to look like?"
"You should learn from Shuangshuang for a while."
Smiling and arranging tasks for Wan Qifu, Ruan Yunluo then handed a letter and a porcelain vase to Aunt Wan, telling her, "Send these two things to Concubine Yi as soon as possible, she will need them very much. "
"yes."
Aunt Wan nodded and took action immediately.
That afternoon, the envelope and porcelain bottle were delivered to Concubine Yi's palace silently.
"Whose letter?"
Seeing the corners of his mother-in-law's mouth raised when she received the letter, Jun Yizhen looked curiously, "Has my aunt replied to my letter?"
"What does it have to do with you?"
Ruan Yunqi rolled her eyes at her son, and said with some pride, "Yunluo is my sister from the same mother, so of course she is closer to me. You are just a helper, can you please position yourself?"
With that said, under Jun Yizhen's helpless gaze, she sat lazily on the chair with her feet up and opened the envelope.
I thought that the letter would contain some common auspicious words during the New Year, but I didn’t expect that except for the opening sentence of “Happy New Year,” the rest of the content in the letter was actually related to the Sixth Prince...
"What's wrong?"
Seeing his mother-in-law holding the letter suddenly serious, Jun Yizhen's heart moved, and he quickly came over curiously.
After watching for a while, when he saw the news that the sixth prince was poisoned, his eyes were shocked and he quickly waved away the servants.
After lowering his eyes and calming down for a while, he looked at his mother-in-law and quickly asked: "Mother-in-law, is there any news from Pingle Palace recently?"
"No."
Ruan Yunqi frowned and shook her head, "It's been very quiet in Pingle Palace these two days. Apart from asking for leave and not going to the study, there is no news about the Sixth Prince."
"Then has anyone seen the Sixth Emperor Brother in the past two days?"
"nor."
"This is strange..."
Jun Yizhen frowned in confusion.
These two days coincided with the Chinese New Year, and the palace was much busier than usual. With the temper of his sixth emperor brother, he should be playing around with his companions. How could he not show his face at all?
Could it be...
"Is he really poisoned?"
Ruan Yunqi was shocked.
But after thinking about it, she felt something was wrong, "If the Sixth Prince was really poisoned, how could Concubine Xi not react at all with her temper? It couldn't be to protect Xiao Chongjing, right?"
"Maybe to protect herself?"
Looking at Ruan Yunluo's vague mention on the letter, Jun Yizhen understood the meaning very quickly. "If she can tolerate this kind of thing, Xiao Chongjing must have something to do with her.
That handle might cost her her life, or the sixth prince's life, or both of them! "
"handle?"
Ruan Yunqi nodded and boldly speculated along this line of thinking, "She is a concubine with an heir, and there are very few crimes that can kill her. It is nothing more than murdering the emperor's heir, murdering the emperor, rebellion, and... confusing the royal bloodline …
She would not dare to rebel and harm the emperor, and plotting to kill the emperor's heir would only cost her her own life. Only the idea of confusing the royal bloodline seems to be more consistent..."
Having said this, Ruan Yunqi quickly counted the time.
After calculating the time of Concubine Xi's pregnancy and delivery, she understood clearly.
No wonder the sixth prince was born more than a month early. At first I thought it was premature birth, but now that I think about it, she might have been pregnant before Jun Yiguang came back from the northwest. Just when Jun Yiguang came back, she simply didn't abort the child, so this sensational thing happened now.
This Concubine Xi is quite courageous.
Ruan Yunqi thought so, picked up the porcelain bottle sent by Ruan Yunluo and looked at Jun Yizhen, "Do you want to save me?"
"We must save, but..."
Jun Yizhen hesitated and thought for a moment, sighed, and finally made up his mind, "Concubine, please go to Pingle Palace. If you can get hold of Concubine Xi's side and confirm that the Sixth Emperor's brother is not of royal blood, then directly Giving her the antidote will give us a boost.
If you are not sure, then wait until everything is settled before giving it, otherwise you will be in danger of raising tigers. "
"I'll go right away."
Ruan Yunqi put away the antidote and prepared to set off immediately.
Before leaving, she looked at her son and reminded her with a smile, "Boy, you owe your aunt another favor."
"Got it~"
Jun Yizhen smiled helplessly, "Concubine, can't you still trust me? I'm not that kind of ungrateful person."
"It's good to know."
Ruan Yunqi smiled and immediately left Ruyi Palace, and soon arrived at Pingle Palace.
In Pingle Palace, Concubine Xi was having a headache as to why Xiao Chongjing hadn't sent the antidote yet... At this moment, she heard the hurried footsteps of her cronies, "My Lady, Concubine Yi is coming this way!"
"What!"
Concubine Xi frowned and her heart tightened.
This sudden guest made her a little irritated, so she couldn't help but muttered, "Why is she here?" and quickly ordered Ruan Yunqi to be stopped.
Then he stood up, quickly straightened his clothes, and hurriedly went out with a smile to meet Ruan Yunqi...
