Xue Jinruo couldn't help but feel a sore nose. He was about to get up and leave, but he never thought that his foot, which he had injured a few days ago, hit the table leg again.

She squatted down almost subconsciously, and her tears flowed down uncontrollably. She didn't know whether it was because of the pain in her feet or the sourness in her heart.

Sheng Jingze frowned slightly, and then immediately knelt down to check on her. His tone was full of worry: "How is it? Do you want to ask the doctor to come and take a look?"

Although he knew that Xue Jinruo was a doctor himself, he also knew that if the doctor did not save himself, he was afraid that if he delayed any longer, the root of his disease would be caused.

"Go away, I don't want you to be hypocritical here. You should go and care about your Xue Xueyao." Xue Jinruo's words had completely exposed the sourness in his heart.

Naturally, she wanted to trust Sheng Jingze with confidence, but because she knew him too well, she knew that Sheng Jingze would definitely turn to Xue Xueyao when she encountered trouble again. She did not dare to trust Sheng Jingze with confidence. he.

Sheng Jingze frowned, obviously not understanding the meaning of her words. He couldn't help but frown, and said in a cold voice: "You are my princess, and it is reasonable for me to be so concerned about you."

"What if you and I are not husband and wife?" Xue Jinruo couldn't help but ask.

This marriage was a blessing she sought from the Queen Mother's will. But if the person who had this will was Xue Xueyao, where would she go?

Sheng Jingze was speechless for a moment.

After all, this possibility will never be possible in this life.

Just as the two were in a stalemate, Xiao Yi suddenly knocked on the door: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the distinguished guest is here."

Xue Jinruo immediately wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and quickly sat back down in his seat.

"Come in." Sheng Jingze withdrew his hand that wanted to continue comforting Xue Jinruo, sat back upright, and spoke calmly.

After the words fell, the door was pushed open and in came Sheng Jiaojiao, who was dressed in a Taoist robe. She was light in body, wearing sandalwood, and even had the air of an immortal Taoist spirit. Not to mention, there was a robe hanging on her hand. String beads.

Instead of blessing her body, she opened her mouth and recited the Buddha's name, 'Amitabha', and then said seriously: "I don't know that His Highness the Regent is here, so I am so late. Please don't blame me for being disrespectful."

Xue Jinruo looked her up and down, but saw that her breathing was not the same as other people's, but rather deficient, with some symptoms of asthma.

"Since you are already half a Buddhist, you naturally no longer need to abide by any secular rules and etiquette. On the contrary, it is my fault that I came here to provide disaster relief and worked for you." Sheng Jingze did not show any abnormality, and his tone was alienated.

He turned his head and glanced at Xue Jinruo beside him. After making eye contact, he couldn't help but frown.

Xue Jinruo was not convinced either. He thought for a moment and then said, "Fifth Princess, I see that you seem to have some deficiencies. Why don't you ask me to take a look at it for you? Maybe I can find some good medicine that can relieve your pain."

Sheng Jiaojiao's eyebrows moved slightly.

She did investigate some information, but she did not hear that the regent Princess Xue Jinruo knew any Qihuang skills. For a moment, she couldn't help but take two steps back, and said "Amitabha" again: "The princess has good intentions, but I am a poor nun." It was like this when I came here, with asthma and short life, but I still don’t have to work hard for the princess.”

The two of them had been paying attention to her, and naturally caught the slight change in her eyes. After hearing these words again, they were afraid that there was something fishy.

"Jiaojiao has been here for more than ten years. Since she is not in good health, she should go back to Beijing and ask the imperial doctor for treatment. Your father has been thinking about you in his heart." Sheng Jingze did not continue the topic. It's all about His Majesty.

The strangeness in Sheng Jiaojiao's eyes became more obvious, but her face still had a calm expression.

She shook her head: "No need, life and death are determined by destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven, and a poor nun cannot accept the fate of his parents."

After hearing this, Sheng Jingze did not continue, but instead left the person to stay for a day.

As soon as they left, Xue Jinruo frowned and couldn't help but wonder: "My lord, have you seen the maid next to the fifth princess? I looked at it, and it was somewhat similar to Gao Runiang next to Xue Xueyao. I'm afraid there is a gap between the two. It’s somewhat related.”

Sheng Jingze naturally noticed something unusual, but Sheng Jiaojiao was clearly wary of them and couldn't find out anything at all.

However, what he can be sure of is that everything in Luoping County is definitely related to Sheng Jiaojiao.

"I don't know what's going on with the two of them, but there is indeed something wrong with Sheng Jiaojiao - the imperial doctor diagnosed her when she was young. Her asthma will not allow her to live beyond ten years old, but now she is already more than ten years old. How could she have such a great fate if there is no doctor around her to diagnose and treat her?" He sneered, "She never asked, either her parents and brother have no feelings for them, or they have known about their situation for a long time. Judging from the situation, I'm afraid she has never severed contact with the prince."

Xue Jinruo pursed his lips.

Cough, poison, borrowing one's life...

"If she can live for such a long time, she is using Gu insects to borrow lives from others?" She looked serious, as if she had already noticed the problem, "She is from the Central Plains, so she must not understand these witchcraft techniques. But the maid next to her may not."

"Go back to the capital. We must let the fifth princess return to the capital as soon as possible." Xue Jinruo did not dare to continue the investigation here.

The disaster relief matter has been completely concluded. If they continue to delay the afternoon, it will only make His Majesty suspicious. However, this is Sheng Jiaojiao's territory. Without a clue, they must not rush into the investigation.

Sheng Jingze nodded: "Okay, let's set off tomorrow."

But at this time, after Sheng Jiaojiao settled down, her breathing immediately became difficult, and she quickly winked at Babao on the side.

Babao quickly cut his hand and fed the blood to Sheng Jiaojiao.

After the bowl of blood went down, Sheng Jiaojiao's breathing became obviously easier.

Babao lowered his voice: "Master, don't worry, I have given Gao Runiang an order, and she will be here soon - the situation in Luoping County is no longer optimistic, we still have to return to Beijing as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, we don't have to think about it, I'm afraid my good uncle has already started planning." Sheng Jiaojiao licked her lips, with a bloodthirsty smile on her lips, "Babao, that Xue Jinruo's life It seems that I need to be different from others and find a way to make her my next container."

"Yes."

As soon as Babao agreed, there was a knock on the door.
