"The Eighth Prince woke up once this morning, and he can already eat by himself," Chu He said.

"So amazing? It's only been three days." Shen Haiyao said with emotion, "You are too amazing!"

Chu He smiled triumphantly, "Hehe", and asked again: "I discussed it with the imperial physician, and they basically agreed with my point of view - the eighth prince is poisoned, and the poison has penetrated deep into the internal organs, which is a sign of poisoning for many years."

"Is there any obvious directionality to this poison?"

Chu He said: "No, it's quite rare. I don't know how the person who poisoned him knew that he had this poison, but what is certain is that the person who poisoned should have some medical skills."

He explained: "At the beginning, this poison just makes people weak and tired, and it is difficult to pay attention to it. They just feel that they have not had a good rest. Take a few warming medicines and rest for a few days, and it will be fine. After that It’s a cold, a fever, and then it becomes inflammation—what we call pneumonia. After the pneumonia is cured, it will get better for a period of time. After about half a year, this process will repeat itself, but the symptoms will become more serious. If things go on like this, a vicious circle will eventually become It became like this."

Shen Haiyao raised his own doubts: "If this is the case, I have a question. If you want to poison the Eighth Prince secretly without being discovered, the person who poisoned must be someone around him, right?"

Chu He: "Well, several imperial physicians are also suspicious. We are preparing to thoroughly investigate the cooks and maids in charge of food in the eighth prince's residence. However, imperial physicians are only imperial physicians after all, and I am afraid that the investigation will have to be ordered by the emperor. "

Shen Haiyao thought for a while, and said, "Can you think of a way to delay it for two days? The emperor loves the eighth prince very much. Once you tell him that the eighth prince is not seriously ill but poisoned, I guess the emperor will probably lose his temper and easily startle the snake. Chen is probably not as easy to deal with as Hope, and there is no one like Ruan Heyue who can help here, if he can't hit him right away, it will be even more difficult in the future."

Chu He: "Then do you think this is good? I will discuss it with several imperial physicians, first suppress the poisoning of the eighth prince, and then tell the emperor that the eighth prince's condition is still up and down."

"Well, yes, do it first." Shen Haiyao added, "But since he is poisoned, we must be extremely careful. The people who approach him, the food for him... Oh, you should know better than me , Anyway, that’s all, be careful, don’t let him be poisoned again.”

"it is good!"

The eighth prince's life was temporarily saved.

Shen Haiyao couldn't help thinking, what is the origin of Chu He - or what is the origin of the two of them?Shen Haiyao didn't think he knew medical skills.

Mysterious, Shen Haiyao thought to himself.

There are more and more mysteries, but fortunately, there are also more and more known truths.Shen Haiyao sometimes felt like he was playing with a jigsaw puzzle, but he didn't know when the most critical pieces would be found.

He was still melancholy here, Sui Sui came in to urge him.

"Oh, my son! Don't dawdle, you can't let His Highness the Sixteenth wait for you!"

"Oh, here we come." Shen Haiyao responded and went out.

Today I made an appointment with Yujie to go to his house.

Shen Haiyao really didn't want to go, the accidental loss of a horse in the last world has always made him brood.Even if the life of this person is known in advance, who is fully sure that he will be able to play this stranger well?

He dallyed into the carriage.

But no matter how unwilling he was, he soon arrived at the Sixteenth Prince's residence.

Yu Jue was already standing outside the mansion waiting.

Shen Haiyao poked his head out of the carriage, and jokingly said, "How dare you trouble Your Highness to wait for me."

Yuji smiled with a good temper, walked a few steps forward to the carriage, and said, "Ah Jin made fun of me again."

As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand to Shen Haiyao, trying to help him get out of the car.

Shen Haiyao glanced down, not quite understanding the purpose of this action.He suddenly thought that the Eighth Prince had laughed at Ah Jin's height, and subconsciously thought that it was also a joke among friends.

But in the end, he still had no idea, Shen Haiyao didn't say much, just shook his head with a smile, avoided Yu Yu's hand, and got out of the car by himself.

He strode up to Yuji and said, "Show me what good things you brought back, and tell me over and over again like offering treasures every day."

Behind him, the Sixteenth Prince was still in the posture of wanting to help him get out of the car. He turned his head and looked at A Jin's back, thoughtfully.

These gadgets brought by the sixteenth prince are indeed interesting and rare. The ancients' accomplishments in these utensils far surpassed that of modern people, and Shen Haiyao was unconsciously dazzled by them.

Yu Yu sat on the sidelines and quietly looked at his friend who had played with him since childhood.

Ah Jin... When did she learn to ride a horse?

After he heard Ah Jin's doubtful "hmm", Yu Jie realized that he had asked what was in his heart unknowingly.

Shen Haiyao suddenly became nervous, wondering if he accidentally exposed something again.He quickly recalled Yin Xiujin's memories.

Yin Xiujin really doesn't know how to ride a horse.

Naturally, the prince does not need to accompany him to learn equestrianism, but most of them will watch and take care of him, so as to prevent the noble prince from falling off the horse and not receiving timely medical treatment.

But the relationship between Yujie and Yin Xiujin is far closer than that of ordinary princes and companions.In his spare time, Yujie often teaches him horsemanship.

At this time, if the Eighth Prince is present, she will repeat the old saying: "A Jin, the short-legged A Jin, will never learn to ride a horse. Alas, poor A Jin, stupid A Jin."

Yin Xiujin: "..."

I don't know if it's because of his height, or if he feels conflicted in his heart. In short, Yin Xiujin doesn't know anything about riding a horse.

After recalling this past event, Shen Haiyao hesitated for a moment, regretting that he didn't take Yujue's hand that wanted to help him just now.

But the matter has come to this point, and regrets are useless, he can only say: "Oh, I have nothing to do recently, so I studied a bit."

Yu Yu nodded hesitantly.

This incident caused Shen Haiyao to feel helpless, and the vest could no longer be covered, alas.

Shen Haiyao had something hidden in his heart, and he couldn't sit still anymore. The dinner that was originally arranged was tasteless.

They said a few more words about the eighth prince's condition, and Shen Haiyao said: "According to my friend, the eighth prince's condition fluctuates from good to bad, but he can already eat by himself when he is awake, and he should get better."

Yu Yu said lightly, "I've been in Yunnan for too long, and I don't even know when Ah Jin made such a powerful friend."

He didn't wait for Shen Haiyao to answer, and asked again: "Ajin, how have you been getting along with Brother Twelve lately?"

Shen Haiyao: "..."

Earlier, Chu He changed all the favorability of the Twelfth Prince into props, so that person has been very honest recently and never came to harass him.Shen Haiyao was a little annoyed when this matter was suddenly brought up.

He tried his best to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, and said patiently: "Fortunately, everyone is busy with Yuhong's illness recently, so I don't have the mood to think about anything else."

Yu Yu: "Every time I saw you before, you opened your mouth and shut it up like Brother Twelve. This time I didn't say anything, I'm still not used to it."

Why do these words feel a little sour...?

A question mark slowly appeared above Shen Haiyao's head.

This Yuji...does she like Yin Xiujin? !

After dinner, Shen Haiyao didn't want to stay any longer, so he bid farewell and returned home.

What he didn't know was that behind him, Yu Jie was lost in thought as he watched the carriage leave.

Ah Jin... Something is wrong with Ah Jin, Yuji thought.

Before, I was too worried about myna's body, and besides, Yujie was not too sensitive. Now that I calm down and think about it, I always feel that Ajin seems a little...too mature.

Of course, I can't rule out the reason that I have been separated from him for too many years, and my personality will inevitably change, but...

There is one thing that Ah Jin may not know until now.

He can't ride a horse, not because he hasn't learned or hasn't learned.

It's because of the fear of riding.

The princes are all endowed with popular expectations. From a very young age, they will find the most suitable path for them according to their own talents.

For Yujie, the suitable path was naturally marching and fighting.

Except for morning reading every day, he spends almost all the rest of his time in the hunting ground.

One afternoon, Yin Xiujin suddenly ran over.

He had never learned how to ride a horse, and because the Eighth Prince always laughed at his height, he was very dissatisfied.He looked up at Yu Yu who was sitting on horseback, and said excitedly, "I want to ride too!"

Talking is not enough, you have to pat the horse's head with your hands.

This horse is not docile, but also recognizes its owner very much. Yu Jie hesitated, thinking that it is better to change Ah Jin for an easy-to-handle horse.

He looked around and whistled to the stable boy in the distance, signaling him to come over.

At this time, the horse under his crotch didn't know whether it was impatiently disturbed by Yin Xiujin, or was frightened by something else, and suddenly ran forward without any warning!

Fortunately, Yin Xiujin was not too close. Although he was still knocked to the ground by the galloping horse, his clothes were only stained and his palm was scratched.

Yu Yu over there was not so lucky.At that time, he was only ten years old, with little experience and strength.After barely balancing his body, he still couldn't control the crazy horse.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden change.The master who taught horsemanship reacted quickly, and while directing the horse boy to pass on to the imperial physician, he loudly warned Yu Yu to hold the horse's neck well.

The horse was still running forward like crazy, and it was about to jump over the fence of the hunting ground.Although there is a large open space outside the hunting ground, seeing the horse's madness, it is only a matter of an instant if he wants to cross the open space and run into the back garden.

Yu Jie gritted her teeth and made a very bold decision.

He tightened his grip on the reins, and with all his strength, forced the horse to turn in one direction.

Then he and the horse fell hard to the ground.

He fell badly, but his body was fully equipped, and he didn't suffer any injuries, except for some pain in his left shoulder, which was probably contused when he fell off the horse's back.

But this matter frightened Yin Xiujin.

He staggered and ran to Yuju's side, crying so hard that he almost lost his breath.

Ah Jin thought that she had disturbed the horse, which caused Yu Jie to suffer such an innocent disaster, no matter how Yu Jie tried to comfort her, it was useless.

Excessive fright and panic caused him to have a high fever that night, and he was still talking nonsense when he was in a daze, for fear that the emperor would kill his head because of this incident.

Yin Xiujin had been ill on and off for half a month, and when she fully recovered, she didn't know whether she was overly frightened or her brain was really burnt out, so she actually forgot about it.

He just raised his left hand and asked Yu Yu: "Why do I have an extra scar here? Did you hit me secretly while I was sick?"

The horrible memory about this incident disappeared, but the fear of riding a horse was deeply rooted in my heart, and I even had to be mentally prepared every time I took a carriage.

If this matter can be explained by "A Jin grows up, sooner or later he will be able to overcome his fear of horses", then the matter about him and the Twelve Emperor Brothers is even more puzzling to Yu Yu.

The matter between Ah Jin and Brother Huang was discovered by Yu Jie by accident.

At first, I just thought it was strange, as if Ah Jin would become very uncomfortable as long as the two of them were present at the same time; and when Brother Huang left, Ah Jin would occasionally show a look of loss.

Later, at the Spring Festival banquet in a certain year, Ah Jin sneaked out of the banquet without knowing when, Yu Yu waited for a long time but didn't see him back, so she simply got up and went to look for him.He never thought that he saw Brother Twelfth sitting on the ground in the garden, leaning on another man's knee quite intimately.

The man sat on the stone bench with his back to him.He bent down and took a shallow kiss with Brother Twelve.

The moonlight was dim, and there was a faint figure, but Yu Jie clearly knew who that person was.

After that, I don't know if I was too obvious, or Ah Jin was really alienating on purpose, or maybe, once the young friendship is mixed with other desires, it will become no longer pure.In short, he and Ah Jin are getting farther and farther away.

The nonsense of "you are the twelfth brother when you open your mouth and shut your mouth" never happened.

Ah Jin... something is wrong.

When Shen Haiyao returned to the mansion, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the conversation with Yujie today was full of flaws.

It is really difficult to replace someone in front of familiar friends.

Before he had time to think about it carefully, Chu He ran out and told him something.

"Haiyao, I seem to know how the Eighth Prince poisoned me."

According to Chu He, the Eighth Prince’s daily diet is relatively fixed, and the taste is single and light. The chefs are all from the small kitchen in the original Queen’s Palace. They have never changed from snacks to adulthood. people.

The Eighth Prince thought about it and mentioned a possibility.

A few years ago, he went to a certain place for disaster relief and met a local medical girl.The woman was kind-hearted and generous, and often volunteered to see a doctor for the disaster victims.

The Eighth Prince felt that this person was useful, so he brought him back to the capital after the disaster relief, and stayed in the mansion ever since.

The doctor's name is Xihua, she is not only skilled in medicine, but also makes good cakes. The Eighth Prince loves the hazelnut cakes she makes.

Later, the eighth prince became seriously ill, and Xihua often gave him acupuncture to relieve the pain.

"The poison should have been put in the hazelnut cake. As long as you enter the palace, you can find out what the eighth prince likes to eat, and make some snacks according to his taste. It is easy to poison. As for the needle, the purpose It is to speed up the flow of toxins, relieve the symptoms of poisoning, and deceive people. The only problem is that there is no evidence." Chu He said, "Just relying on the eighth prince not eating hazelnut cakes and alienating after washing, the toxicity If there is no aggravation, there is no way to prove that Xihua was poisoned."

"Yes." Shen Haiyao nodded, "This is not evidence, nothing can be proved. Moreover, there are too many uncertainties in this matter. For example, how can we be sure that Xi Hua will be brought back to the mansion by the Eighth Prince? Wan Wan - She didn't enter the mansion at all, so the poison won't be able to be taken down anytime soon?"

"About this..." Chu He hesitated to speak, "How should I put it, you may not believe that Xihua will definitely be brought back to the mansion by the Eighth Prince, because..."

Chu He's voice was weird: "I really want you to meet Xi Hua, she looks a bit like Ah Jin."

"..." Shen Haiyao remained expressionless, "Huh?"

"I can't tell you the specifics. If you look at it from a certain angle, Xihua and Ajin look exactly the same, but they are completely different from other angles."

"..." Shen Haiyao still found it quite bizarre. He shook his head with a smile and said, "Well, if this is the case, it can indeed explain the problem. Let's not talk about that, let's assume that it is really a washout She has not been suspected for so many years, she is very careful and smart, so don't treat her differently for now, lest she get suspicious."

Chu He: "Understood. The eighth prince's health is gradually improving these days, and the imperial doctors don't come here all the time. Usually, I am a strange face in the eighth prince's house. I will be careful."

After temporarily ending contact with Chu He, Shen Haiyao began to think about what to do next.

There are two urgent matters right now.

The first is to find a way to investigate whose idea it was to instigate the soldiers of Yuju's government to rob the prison in the previous life.It is not too difficult to find out this person. This person must be quite prestigious in Yujie's army, so that he can respond to such a big event as a prison robbery; Committing such a heinous crime can also make people believe that he is sincerely for the good of Yujue; but he is brave but not scheming, because robbing prison is really a bad idea, no matter how stupid Yujun's soldiers are, they will not understand this. reason……

Combining the above characteristics, at least a small range of candidates can be framed.But this matter definitely needs Yuji's support - only he knows the people under him best.

Thinking of this, Shen Haiyao felt a little guilty, for someone as upright and inflexible as Yu Yu, on the contrary, let him be restrained.

It's really not good, let's be honest with him...

Next comes the second thing.

The current Twelve Princes seem to be depressed and unfavorable, but they have a lot of influence behind them.After the death of the eighth prince in the previous life, many of the ministers who had relied on him turned to the twelfth prince—of course, they may have always been his people; thinking of the rebellious soldiers in Yujie, Shen Haiyao had to doubt This is the handwriting of the twelve princes again.

These people must be dug out to avoid bad things in the future.

Judging from the current situation, the twelve princes can be regarded as sincere to Ah Jin.Although this intention is disgusting, it is indeed available.

During this period of time, the favorability of the twelve princes has been artificially reduced a lot, but people have feelings after all. The twelve princes have been quiet for a few days.

Shen Haiyao thought, maybe it's time to meet the twelve princes.

He called Laisui and said, "Send someone to the residence of the Twelfth Prince, and tell him that I will visit him tomorrow."
