"What exactly are you doing here in the I?" Her Majesty looked a little impatient.

"mother, son would like to know why you raised Ah Xiu by your side back then." He looked as if he were simply curious. Even so, the empress dowager was still on guard. She casually replied, "I saw that child pitiful at first, so I raised him."

Gu Qingcheng did not mind his perfunctory words, he only smiled and said, "Then, thank you, mother." Then he left the Tzu Ning Palace.

After he left, the Empress leaned back in her chair as if drained of strength. It wasn't until the Gui mama came in that he muttered to himself, "He's started to look into the past." His voice was filled with fear.

"Empress, the deaths of those who knew of these matters, even those who are still alive, have disappeared. His Majesty will not find out." The Gui mama comforted her. Her Majesty seemed to feel a little better after hearing her words, but fear followed her every step of the way.

After two days, Ruan Xiaonuan finally walked out of the Duke Palace after being completely wrapped up. However, her face was pale and devoid of blood.

If it were not for the matters of the Wang Jiang Restaurant, Zi Juan and Mo Yan would never let her go out.

"Princess, we're here." the coachman said.

Mo Yan immediately put on the thick fox fur coat for her, causing Ruan Xiaonuan to break out in a cold sweat. "Mo Yan, it's a sunny day outside, there's no need to wear so much."

"No, wangfei, your chills are always repeated. Even after taking the medicine, they haven't improved. It must be because it's too cold these days." So I absolutely must not get cold. " Mo Yan said firmly.

"Mo Yan is right. Zi Juan agreed.

The others were all wearing thin clothes because it was a sunny day. Only when she got out of the carriage, it was like walking in the snow.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? "Isn't it hot?" Xuan Er said honestly.

"Wangfei occasionally feels a chill, but since she insisted on coming out, this is the only method we can think of." Mo Yan explained.

Xuan Er did her best to hold back her laughter, and asked with concern, "Miss, please take care of yourself, we rely on you to eat."

Ruan Xiaonuan laughed, and did not reply, she looked much weaker than usual. After Mo Yan accompanied her to the kitchen, Xuan Er stopped the backward Zi Juan and asked worriedly, "What happened to Miss? "It doesn't look like an ordinary chill."

"We also feel the same way, because we have been sick for almost half a month. If it was just a cold, we would have recovered a long time ago. However, no matter if it's the response from the people or the imperial doctors in the palace, they all insisted that it was wind chill. Even if we suspect it, we can't do anything about it. " Zi Juan told her everything about her condition.

"Tell the girl to go to another doctor. I think it's more like someone trying to destroy the girl's body from being poisoned." Xuan Er guessed. She had seen many things and knew a little more than they did.

When Zi Juan heard these words, she was so scared that her face turned white.

"I was just guessing. You should hurry up and tell the girl, in case something happens." After Xuan Er finished speaking, she left.

Ruan Xiaonuan held on to her body and discussed matters with them. This was because she realized that she didn't have a hotpot like this right now. If she could cook one, it would definitely attract a lot of people in the middle of winter.

She gave the man what she needed, and what she wanted to do she gave it to the kitchen. In those two simple moments, she had used up almost all of her strength.

"Princess, let's go back." Seeing her current state, Mo Yan reminded her.

Ruan Xiaonuan knew that if she continued to stay here, she would not be able to help, so she nodded and agreed. It was only when they left that they saw Zi Juan coming up. Mo Yan asked angrily, "Where did you go just now? How do you serve your master? "

"Alright, Mo Yan. It's not like you don't know Zi Juan's personality." Sometimes, Ruan Xiaonuan felt that Mo Yan was more like a master than her, especially when he was trying to discipline his subordinates. If it wasn't for her, the mansion would have been thrown into chaos.

"Why is the door so noisy?" As he was walking down the stairs, he heard a lot of people talking.

She pricked up her ears to hear what they were saying.

"Little Zhao, who is at the door?" Ruan Xiaonuan asked.

"They're all beggars," he said. "They were there for a few days. I felt sorry for them, so I didn't chase them away." Little Zhao thought he made a mistake and quickly explained the situation.

Ruan Xiaonuan thought about what she had just heard and ordered, "Go get a table of good wine and dishes in the kitchen and let those beggars come in for a meal."

"Princess, what's your body like?" Mo Yan and the others also heard what she said, but they were worried that her body wouldn't be able to take it.

Ruan Xiaonuan laughed, and then casually said, "It's nothing, I was just sitting there and saying a few words."

After the beggars entered, they saw that there was already a nobly dressed woman sitting there. Just as he wanted to turn around and leave, the Little Zhao stopped them, "That is our shopkeeper, Miss Ruan. She's the one who invited you to dinner. "

Only then did the beggar dispel his doubts and said gratefully, "Lady Ruan is really a kind person. Not only did she not chase us away, she even entertained us with good wine and good dishes."

"Hurry up and eat." Ruan Xiaonuan said.

After they wolfed down their food, she asked with a smile, "What were you guys talking about at the door just now?"

After eating their fill, the beggar lowered his guard and subconsciously said, "We feel that the Prince Yu is our guardian, and the current emperor is too weak. If not for the Prince Yu, the Xiyue would have already died long ago, so we should be the emperor instead."

Coincidentally, there was a table of scholars at the restaurant. After they heard this, they stood up and said excitedly, "I didn't expect a little beggar to think like that, we had long thought that the Prince Yu was our king, and that we should be loyal to him." His words resonated with many people as they nodded in agreement.

Ruan Xiaonuan frowned as she looked at the chaotic scene inside. It was unknown when it started, but the citizens no longer feared him and treated him like a god. In the hearts of the citizens, she had obviously surpassed the current Emperor Gu Qingcheng. However, this was not a good thing for him. Since ancient times, no matter how great one's achievements were, there would always be a good ending for him.

She thought of the beggar who had recited these words backwards, and continued to ask, "Who taught you to say these words?" If he wasn't taught, how could the beggar say such words? It seemed that someone had purposely framed him after he left the capital.

The beggar did not expect her to see through him so quickly, and he looked at her nervously.
