Pet official

Ning Bai was taken aback, "You..."

Just as he was about to speak, it suddenly occurred to him that no one other than him and Gu Yuanwu knew about the prince. Ning Bai immediately calmed down and replied coldly: "Could it be that you have lost your mind? The prince was poisoned at the beginning of the year. You have been in the palace for many days, and you have already heard about it. You said you want to see the prince, but how do you want to see him? Yes, you slipped your tongue, do you want to see Gu Yuanwu? I can help you arrange it. "

Ruan Yunqing didn't say a word, just raised his head and stared straight at Ning Bai.

Three days ago, he was not as cruel as he is now. His original plan was indeed to let the man in black who delivered the medicine pass on a message to Gu Yuanwu. Gu Yuanwu had to allow him to use the man in black as a small punishment and a big punishment. , to teach Xiao Changfu a lesson, and let him stop making things difficult for himself.

But now, Xiao Changfu is ruthless, pressing every step of the way, and what he has done is far beyond Ruan Yunqing's expectations.If only to teach him a lesson, with Xiao Changfu's temperament, how could he give up.Pingxi was severely tortured by him, and his life was hanging by a thread. Judging from today's situation, Ruan Yunqing knew that in the past, he was not deep enough in troubles, his thoughts were not deep enough, and his thoughts were too simple. There is no reason for this kind of person, as long as he wants what he wants, he will use all kinds of cruel means to force you to commit it. The enemy is strong and we are weak. Under the power, he is a weak person. odds.

If this continues, he will only be bullied constantly. If he wants to change his current situation and stop being bullied, he must rely on the power of the prince.Although Gu Yuanwu could be regarded as a superior person, in front of the imperial power and nobles, he was nothing more than a slave who obeyed orders.

Ruan Yunqing didn't want to be passively manipulated by others like this anymore, he knew that if he said what he said next, it would very likely bring him a fatal disaster.But so what, as long as taking a temporary risk can change one's future destiny, avenge Pingxi, and exchange for a dignity of being a human being, then everything is worth it.

The alleyway was terribly quiet, Ruan Yunqing was not very old and not tall, in front of the burly Ning Bai, he was almost completely shrouded in a shadow.

Ning Bai always had a smile on his face. Once such a person gets angry, he often feels more oppressed than ordinary people.At this time, he had a cold face, but Ruan Yunqing was not afraid at all, just pursed the corners of his mouth, stared at Ning Bai, and said firmly: "I want to see the prince!"

Ning Bai met Ruan Yunqing's eyes, looked at each other for a moment, and was defeated.

Ning Bai was a little surprised. In just a few months, the child in front of him seemed to have retreated from the innocence of a child and grown into a resolute and resolute young man.In Ruan Yunqing's eyes, apart from the cleanliness and stubbornness when she first entered the palace, there is also a stubbornness that burns like weeds and is reborn by the wind.

Ning Bai has only seen this kind of look in the eyes of one person so far, and that is the current prince, the pale young man who is still able to control the overall situation calmly and calmly in his sickness.

How similar eyes, same unyielding, same piercing, being stared at by such eyes, will force people to back down.

Ning Bai was dazed for a moment, sighed for a long time, and then sighed in a low voice with a wry smile: "Gu Yuanwu is a monster, and none of his subordinates are fuel-efficient."

Regardless of whether Ruan Yunqing really guessed the truth, or deliberately lied to him, Ning Bai couldn't just obediently let him manipulate him.

Putting away his kind face, Ning Bai tensed his face, opened his tiger eyes, and said with a bit of anger in his tone, "I told you that the crown prince was poisoned, and he is still in a coma. I am an imperial physician, don't you believe me? Don't mention it again, let others hear it, and you still have to lose your head!"

Ruan Yunqing was not panicked, and there was even a hint of joy in his eyes after guessing the answer. He said lightly, "The prince is awake."

Ning Bai gasped, not only because of Ruan Yunqing's certainty when speaking, but also because of his calm and composed attitude, as if he had seen everything through.

"Awake? This is so ridiculous. If the prince wakes up, how can I hide it from the eyes of many envoys and imperial physicians in the imperial hospital? How can the prince deliberately conceal his illness and let the long live and the queen Worrying all day long? The prince is awake, why would he say he is sick and hide in the Duanhua Palace?"

Ruan Yunqing smiled lightly, he didn't know how Ning Bai managed to hide it from the many eyes and ears of the imperial hospital, but if he asked the prince why he said he was not sick, he could guess one or two, it was nothing more than leading the snake out of the hole.

The palace lanterns in the distance cast mottled halos of stars on the sidewalk. Ning Bai's face was full of anger just now, but after hearing the phrase "Lead the snake out of the hole", it seemed like a crack had opened, and he became confused and changed color .

Ruan Yunqing was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "It has been more than ten years since the crown prince was registered in July of the eighth year of Hongyou..."

Ruan Yunqing slowed down his speech on purpose. While sorting out his thoughts, he said in detail: "In the past ten years, the crown prince has not lived a stable life. Although he is a legitimate son, he has been established as a crown prince since he was born, and his status is noble. However, the crown prince is still young, and his influence in the court is far inferior to that of the grown-up prince. In recent years, the emperor has been hanging around the harem, often dismissing the court due to illness. As he was old and wanted to be an official, the situation became more and more unfavorable for the prince.

In addition, in the harem, the emperor only favored Concubine De, and loved his youngest son even more like a treasure.After the birth of the fifteenth prince, the emperor has said to the outside world many times that this son is the most similar to me, but it is a pity that he was born a few years later, otherwise the position of prince must belong to him.This word..."

Ruan Yunqing paused for a moment. It is extremely speechless and unwise for a person in power to say such a thing even though he has already established a crown prince.

Ruan Yunqing shook his head. The emperor's mind was so vacillating that the battle in the harem became more and more intense. Such a person, not to mention the king, even the prudent and respectful past, may be lost in countless beautiful women in the harem. The gentleness of the countryside is gone.

Sighing, Ruan Yunqing said: "Long live may be a temporary joke, but those who say it don't mean it, but those who hear it mean it. What's more, Concubine De's elder brother is gaining power in the army and has great prestige. Once the words of Long live are uttered, it is inevitable that someone who cares Taking advantage of this opportunity, he had other thoughts.

Now, in the court, from top to bottom, and even in the harem, the various forces supporting the crown prince, the eldest son of the emperor, and the son of the concubine De have become stalemate.The person who poisoned and assassinated the prince couldn't wait any longer, so he made such a bad plan.The crown prince was poisoned, the situation changed suddenly, and people's minds were bound to change. If he could take advantage of this time to kill his way out, it would not be a good thing for His Highness the crown prince to be unpaid.The prince is still asleep, and the enemies hiding in the dark will feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. As the days go by, those who had doubts will gradually relax their vigilance, unable to restrain themselves, and do something to demolish the prince.Braking with static and responding to all changes with the same, should be the best countermeasure at this time. "

While talking, Ruan Yunqing bowed slightly, and led Ning Bai forward again.

Ning Bai followed Ruan Yunqing, walking while listening to him continue: "Since the prince was poisoned, in the past six months, the people in the palace have almost changed their blood. Just take Likun Palace as an example. Xiao Changfu used the prince to eliminate dissidents." , almost wiped out all the people under the chief manager Zheng Changchun, and replaced them with his own cronies. Seeing things, other palaces should be no exception... Although these changes seem inconspicuous, they can play a vital role. At the very least, it's getting easier and easier to get rid of someone secretly."

Ruan Yunqing's heart sank, and his pupils tightened suddenly. He thought of what happened to him today, Hepingxi, and Zhao Shurong, who died strangely a few days ago, and couldn't help feeling chills all over his body.This is what I know, and those who don't know just disappear in confusion. In this huge palace, I don't know how many there are.

Ruan Yunqing carefully analyzed the thoughts he had deduced from what he had seen and heard these days, with a soft and soothing tone, and it did not seem abrupt and noisy in this quiet lane.

The more Ning Bai heard it, the more frightened he became. This young man, who stays at home, can analyze what happened in the palace so thoroughly.A few words have already hit the point, almost equal to the sum of the news that Gu Yuanwu has found through several eyeliners.

When Ning Bai heard the end, he had already forgotten to refute. He has always been upright, and he didn't have as many twists and turns in his stomach. Seeing that Ruan Yunqing said everything logically, he couldn't help asking: "You, how did you guess that? The prince is already awake?"

Ruan Yunqing stopped in her tracks, her face showing a bit of shyness and embarrassment.He glanced at Ning Bai before saying: "Actually, I felt that something was wrong long before I entered the palace. The attitude of Imperial Physician Ning, Eunuch Gu, and your tone when you occasionally mentioned the prince are completely unlike Talking about a patient who is seriously ill. Especially Mr. Ning... You are too straightforward, you don’t know how to lie, although you can still pretend in front of people, but when you are in front of Mr. Gu, you have no taboos when you speak, then The frankness and frankness really make people have to doubt."

Ning Bai was stunned, before Ruan Yunqing entered the palace, that is, at the beginning of May, the crown prince had just woken up, and he had sternly reminded himself not to show his feet.

Ning Bai felt that his acting was good. At least so far, no one has seen the flaws. Even the emperor and empress don't know the truth that the prince has woken up.Unexpectedly, after 33 years of obsession, he has been groping in the court for so long, and let a little kid see the bottom at a glance, it is really annoying.

Ruan Yunqing said again: "Also, a snake without a head can't do. If the prince is really poisoned and has fallen asleep, how can Eunuch Gu still be so calm and calm to help the prince recruit soldiers and put eyeliners in the palaces? I have short-sightedness , and trapped in the inner court, I don’t know what the political situation in the court is, so I can only speculate boldly.”

Ruan Yunqing counted them one by one with fingers: "Based on what I've seen recently, among the imperial wives and foreign wives who come and go in Likun Palace, in addition to Prime Minister Liu Tong's wife Wang, there is also the official secretary's wife Liu, Hanlin Mrs. Hu, the wife of Academy Xuezheng, and Mrs. Zheng, the wife of Taipu Siqing, etc. Liu Tong is old and not far from the day when he will become an official, and Minister of the Ministry of Officials is the father of Concubine Shu Gui, so he is naturally on the side of the eldest prince. The vacillation of Pu Siqing should be the biggest variable... These foreign wives visit frequently, and their words reveal the meaning of temptation. All the officials are ready to move, which is enough to show that the prince has secretly arranged, above the court, intervened A lot of people have been dispatched, and now the stalemate has been broken, it only depends on how the prince will play his next move..."

Ning Bai was completely speechless. He loves medical science very much. He is deeply involved in the pharmacopoeia. He has never cared about factional disputes in the imperial court. He didn't know anything about what Ruan Yunqing said. He felt ashamed for a while, then he said hesitantly and laughed: " It’s okay, it’s okay, there’s no need to talk about it. I’m convinced, you want to see the prince, I can’t make it up, I’ll give you an answer after I go back and discuss it with Gu Yuanwu.”

Ruan Yunqing was overjoyed and bowed to thank her.

Ning Bai touched his head, and sighed: "It's hard for you, you have suffered such a crime at such a young age. In another place, a baby of your age may still be acting like a baby in your mother's arms."

Ruan Yunqing listened blankly, and it took a long time to pull out a wry smile, and shook her head slightly.How could he have such a good life, even if he didn't enter the palace and stayed at home, his parents would not pay attention to him, not to mention acting like a baby, it would be good if he didn't think he was in the way and useless.
