She was immersed in how to save the lives of the Xue family as much as possible. After all, some external things would be gone if they were gone. As long as she could still save her life, she would have everything.

Sheng Jingze didn't know what Xue Jinruo was thinking, but seeing that she didn't speak, his eyes were filled with disappointment.

But he chuckled and said, "Don't bother, I have to go to the palace as soon as possible. There are a lot of things going on these days. Let's eat again next time when I have the chance."

After saying that, his eyes stayed on Xue Jinruo for a moment, and then he walked hurriedly.

Sheng Jingze was worried that if he didn't leave, Xue Yizhong and the others would notice something strange.

After he left, Shen Xiangqin also spread his hands helplessly.

Xue Jinruo also woke up from a dream. Seeing his parents looking at him, he was also confused: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay. I just asked you to eat, but there was no movement for a long time." Shen Xiangqin said with a smile.

Xue Jinruo also laughed and explained: "I was just thinking about something, maybe a little focused."

Xue Yizhong and Shen Xiangqin looked at each other, but said nothing.

There were two people missing from the table where they used to eat. Xue Jinruo suddenly felt empty in her heart. She secretly made up her mind that there must be no fewer people at this table.

After finishing lunch, Xue Yizhong called Xue Jinruo aside.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Seeing Xue Yizhong being so cautious, Xue Jinruo felt that something had happened again.

Xue Yizhong waved his hand and said, "It's nothing important. I just want you to come with me to the Second Prince's Mansion."

"The Second Prince's Mansion? Why?" Xue Jinruo was very confused.

Xue Yizhong sent someone to prepare the carriage, but he just said: "I will talk to you in detail on the way. You go and change clothes first."

Although Xue Jinruo was still confused, he still followed the instructions and changed his clothes.

Shaoqing, on the carriage to the second prince's residence, Xue Yizhong told Xue Jinruo the content of his previous conversation with Sheng Jingze.

"I see, so dad wants to find out the truth about the second prince?" Xue Jinruo understood immediately after hearing this. After all, Sheng Jingze would definitely not say that kind of thing without any reason.

Xue Yizhong said worriedly: "You have to be well-informed about this kind of thing. After all, if you want to support the second prince to ascend the throne, if you choose the wrong person, it will be the same as the crown prince ascending the throne."

"Indeed, what do you think of the second prince?" Xue Jinruo nodded in agreement.

Xue Yizhong shook his head: "It's hard to say, but I also think he is not a real gentleman."

Xue Jinruo felt a little impossible when he heard this, but now that he was about to arrive at the second prince's house, there was no point in worrying about it. After all, hearing is false and seeing is believing. Seeing with your own eyes is better than anything else. speech.

At the gate of the second prince's residence, he saw the carriage of the third prince's residence. Xue Yizhong immediately started to mutter: "Why did the carriage of the third prince's residence stop here?"

"Dad, you don't know something. The second prince's concubine is the third prince's maternal sister." Xue Jinruo explained with a smile.

Only then did Xue Yizhong understand.

The two of them walked in, but saw no one in front, so they had no choice but to go to the backyard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the backyard, they saw Sheng Chenghan and Sheng Chengtang facing each other, with neither one willing to give in to the other.

When Xue Jinruo saw this scene, she couldn't help but stop and didn't dare to go any further. However, she didn't expect that Azhe Minmin who was in the backyard still saw her and immediately came to greet her. She cried and said: "Auntie Huang, Go up and stop them both."

"What happened?" Xue Jinruo's brows frowned inadvertently.

Azhe Minmin, however, had already burst into tears: "Today Concubine Shen is due to give birth, but the Empress is imprisoned in Fengyi Palace. Your Majesty has issued an order not to invite an imperial doctor. The Second Prince has no choice but to take her out of the palace. , I didn’t expect that when my third brother found out, he came directly to the door.”

Although she didn't like this Shen Yitang from the bottom of her heart, she also knew that the woman had stepped into the gate of hell after giving birth. There was no guarantee that she would survive safely. She was a soft-hearted person, so after knowing this, she naturally didn't want to Killed one corpse and two lives.

But she couldn't stop anyone.

Xue Jinruo paused, but did not rush forward. Instead, he couldn't help but asked: "Now that Mr. Liu has taken the seat of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, what has Concubine Shen's father done?"

"I just heard that His Majesty asked him to rest at home first, and then take up his post again after the household affairs are settled." Azhe Minmin didn't understand why she asked so suddenly, but she still answered truthfully.

After hearing this, Xue Jinruo's face became more solemn: "When the second prince went to invite the imperial doctor and Wen Po, did he tell his majesty that it was Concubine Shen who gave birth?"

"Of course I said so." Azhemin nodded.

"But I don't know exactly what happened in the palace. Auntie, why are you asking so many questions all of a sudden? It's better to stop them two quickly."

She was anxious, so she stretched out her hand and pulled Xue Jinruo between the two of them.

Sheng Chengtang's green light sword was unsheathed, pointing directly at Sheng Chenghan. If the two of them hadn't suddenly appeared, the sword would have pierced Sheng Chenghan's body.

But when he saw Xue Jinruo, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Auntie Huang, why are you here?"

"I wonder if the Second Prince can come into the room to talk?" Xue Jinruo said coldly, his face ashen.

Everyone present was stunned when they saw this scene. Fortunately, Sheng Chengtang reacted first and took her into the study.

Xue Yizhong followed them without saying a word the whole time.

After entering the study room, before Sheng Chengtang could speak, Xue Jinruo spoke first and asked directly: "When you entered the palace today, did you mention to His Majesty that you wanted to hire an imperial doctor for Concubine Shen?"

"Of course I said it, but my father is seriously ill and we really can't see each other, so..." Before Sheng Chengtang finished speaking, he heard a sneer.

Xue Jinruo interrupted him directly and snorted coldly: "Regardless of how your Majesty's body is, if His Majesty just can't get up, the eunuch chief will naturally go up and pass the message, but he doesn't. Don't you think about it? What is this for?"

"I think Mr. Liu has almost settled the affairs of the Household Department these days, and the Shen family's affairs should also be settled."

This sentence made Sheng Chengtang wake up from a dream.

He shuddered and quickly called the boy next to him: "Come here, call out and ask the doctor and Wenpo's people to come back!"

Seeing this scene, Xue Yizhong's heart dropped. He sighed and winked at Xue Jinruo. .
