In the Shen Mansion.

Shen Huaixin was holding on to the wine glass, his chest was slightly open, his whole body was radiating heat, and his bare feet were on the plush carpet.

The lights were brightly lit, illuminating his reddish face. Cheng Shuyi saw this scene when he came in.

Shen Huaixin smiled at him and passed the wine glass forward: "Shuyi, you're here at the right time. Come and drink this glass to the full."

"Why did you get drunk, sir?"

"I'm naturally happy that something big has come true tonight. I thought I would have to wait until spring, but I didn't expect it to come true ahead of schedule."

Cheng Shuyi walked over and took the wine glass he handed him, without drinking it, he put it on the table.

"It's just the beginning, not successful yet," Cheng Shuyi corrected him.

Shen Huaixin has always wanted to win a quick victory. Ever since Huo Changhe came, he has never been in the limelight. Every time he was suppressed by Huo Changhe, he would collapse.

He was not willing to wait until spring. It was not like he wanted to invite Huo Changhe for a spring outing. Why should he wait for spring!

Who knew, something unexpected happened and the plan was really advanced.

"As soon as Princess Mingzhao's side is settled, I will immediately arrange for someone to attack Huo Changhe. Success will be just around the corner."

Shen Huaixin drank a little too much and was so excited that he didn't take it seriously at all.

"Huo Changhe is not that easy to deal with. He is surrounded by his own people. They are all loyal and cannot be bribed. My lord, Princess Mingzhao's affairs are easy to accomplish, but Huo Changhe's side is extremely difficult."

Shen Huaixin looked up at him, a little annoyed: "Shuyi, don't you believe me? Since I decided to use this strategy, I was fully prepared and made detailed arrangements. Huo Changhe's side..."

"My lord, nothing is ever foolproof in this world," Cheng Shuyi interrupted, "The mother Gu reacted abnormally just now, and the Gu master also vomited blood and was injured. I'm afraid something went wrong on Princess Mingzhao's side."

Shen Huaixin's smile froze and he immediately calmed down: "What? Failed?"

Even Princess Mingzhao was defeated, so how could she be sure about Huo Changhe?

It's like slapping him in the face.

Shen Huaixin was about to get angry when Cheng Shuyi said: "Sir, don't worry, it's not that bad yet, the Gu Master is trying his best to remedy the situation."

Shen Huaixin stood up: "Can it be remedied?"

"It should be possible, but I need to get something from your Excellency."

"What? You said."

"Sir, the Gu master needs to use some high-quality cordyceps. I remember you have some in your hand."

Shen Huaixin has a lot of precious medicinal materials in his secret vault.

"Okay, okay," he agreed without hesitation, "I'll get it for you."

He took the key, turned around and walked out. He couldn't help but feel a little dizzy because he was drunk.

Cheng Shuyi supported him: "Sir, are you okay?"

"It's okay," Shen Huaixin gave him the key, "Go on your own and just pick something good for the Gu Master to use. Be sure to hold it steady."

"Yes." Cheng Shuyi helped him sit down, then turned and left.

Shen Huaixin rested his head on his hands, his mind was in a mess, and he was wondering whether he should ask someone to go over and have a look, or wait until dawn.

Before I could make up my mind, someone came from outside to report: "Sir, a woman is holding this matter and asking to see you."

Shen Huaixin turned around and saw that it was an ordinary jade pendant he had picked up before and given to Ruzhi.

Ruzhi has a special status. After all, she secretly took refuge in him, passed news back and forth, and bewitched Princess Mingzhao. Therefore, not many people knew Ruzhi's identity.

"Is there anyone else with her?"

"Sir, no, she is the only one."

"Bring her here, don't let anyone see her."

"Yes."

Shen Huaixin twirled his wine glass, his eyes flickering, suspicious and dangerous.

This woman came just in time to ask her what was wrong.

The footsteps sounded, and something didn't sound right. Shen Huaixin turned around and saw Ruzhi coming in wearing a black cloak. Although he couldn't see his legs, he could tell that his walking legs were a bit awkward.

As soon as she entered the room, Ruzhi almost cried, feeling extremely wronged.

"grown ups."

She took off her cloak and threw it aside, knelt down by Shen Huaixin's legs, and leaned on his knees.

Shen Huaixin looked at her. She had changed her clothes, combed her hair, and applied some oil. She had a strong fragrance.

The skirt was damaged at the knees, as if it had been dropped, and he knew it clearly. No wonder the walking posture was strange just now. It turned out to be injured after a fall.

After Shen Huaixin looked at her, he gently stroked Ruzhi's back: "What's wrong? Are you so wronged?"

Ruzhi raised his eyes and sobbed: "Sir, it's not a good thing to be a slave. I almost missed your important event."

Shen Huaixin was anxious for a long time. Seeing her like this, he didn't feel pity for her, but rather irritated.

He suppressed it and pinched her chin: "What's wrong? Tell me clearly."

Ruzhi sobbed: "Xiao Yuzi told me to do it tonight. I was nervous and excited. I wanted to do something for the adults, but I was afraid that I couldn't do it well. When my hands shook, I put more things."

"Princess Mingzhao is useless again. She suddenly had an attack. She fainted from the pain and almost died."

Shen Huaixin didn't care about Princess Mingzhao's life or death, but because of the special relationship between the princess and Huo Changhe, he just wanted to use it, even if it had no other purpose than to make Huo Changhe feel disgusted.

"What happened next?" he asked urgently.

Ruzhi squeezed out a few more tears: "Later, the slave was frightened. That bitch from Green Lake even got angry at the slave. She called the doctor and drank medicine and so on, but she finally managed to hold on."

"She's not dead? Is she still alive?" Shen Huaixin was delighted.

As long as he's not dead, Princess Mingzhao is not dead, so that Zichong is not dead either. As long as he's not dead, the plan can still be with the court.

"Not dead, just a hair away." Ruzhi pouted, "Your Excellency, you won't blame me, right?"

She pretended to be nervous on the surface, but in fact she was even more nervous inside - she couldn't help but be nervous. When she came, Yan Ruyu asked her to swallow a little medicine in the jade bottle. It was fragrant and sweet. She didn't know what it was, but she knew it must not be a good thing.

Everything that is beautiful is poisonous, and that must be the case with delicious food. How could Yan Ruyu give her the really delicious food?

All she wanted to do now was to scare Shen Huaixin and make him believe that the matter was done. When daybreak, she would sneak out of the house quietly, and Yan Ruyu's people would pick her up and give her the banknotes and the antidote.

She can fly far away and leave Youcheng.

What kind of broken place is this that can freeze someone to death? Her leg was not injured at all from a fall, but from being in the snow for too long tonight. The cold hurt and made her feel uncomfortable. It was strange to walk, so Yan Ruyu asked her to pretend to fall.

Shen Huaixin lowered his eyes and looked at her face, with a slight smile on his face, unable to tell whether he believed it or not.

"Is it cold all the way here? Have a glass of wine to warm yourself up," Shen Huaixin handed her a glass of wine.

"Thank you, sir."

Shen Huaixin didn't completely believe Ruzhi's words, but he could judge based on the Gu Master's words.

Later, if the Gu Master's mother insect is fine, she will be able to sense it. Whether it succeeds or not depends on what the Gu Master says.

Ruzhi finished a glass of wine, and Shen Huaixin looked above her head. The two of them were having their own thoughts, when rapid footsteps sounded outside.
