Chapter 454 Code Word
"Well done." Shang Ruoyi put the letter on the table, pointed to the words on it and said, "'We have invited the dragon from across the river, looking back at the green mountain outside the building' means that they have found a powerful helper, and they just need to wait quietly. 'The bandit breaks into the mountain gate, the sleeping dragon comes out of the mountain, and the world is divided into three' means that they use the power of the underworld, and then invite the counselors to come out of the mountain to share the world with them."
Shang Ruoyi's eyes flickered slightly. These words were thought up casually by them in their spare time in their previous life. They all borrowed some allusions from the Three Kingdoms. The person who could link all these together must be someone she knew in her previous life.
"So that's what you mean." Yunqi whispered, "If it's as you said, then who are these powerful helpers and counselors?"
Shang Ruoyi said nothing, just stared at the letter in a daze.
Several familiar faces flashed through her mind. She looked at the handwriting and kept wondering whose words they were.
But in their previous lives, they all used signature pens, and they mostly used electronic devices to transmit secret codes, and rarely wrote.
It was impossible to tell at all for a moment.
"Then how did you get hurt?"
Yunqi shook his head. "I don't know when I was exposed. After intercepting the letter, I didn't know what it meant, so I prepared to leave and come back to ask you to make the decision. But not long after I left, I realized that someone was following me secretly. I thought they were some blind robbers, but I didn't expect them to be a group of people with extremely high martial arts skills. Their movements were strange. They were dozens of meters away in the last moment, and appeared in front of me in the blink of an eye. I was poisoned and had no power to fight back. If I hadn't used the grenade you gave me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back alive."
Shang Ruoyi was shocked when she heard this.
Isn’t that kind of martial art the earth escape technique?
She remembered that the martial arts used by the guards around the Emperor of the Western Regions was earth escape.
These things were just like a mess. Shang Ruoyi felt as if there were layers of fog in front of her eyes, but she felt that she was getting closer and closer to the truth.
At least now she knows that the people involved in this incident might be her teammates in her previous life.
She squeezed the letter in her hand and whispered, "You should have a good rest first."
After saying this, she turned and left.
After a while, it was noon. Jun Zeqian found her and told her that he was going to the palace.
"Why are you entering the palace at this time?"
"The emperor has been ill and unconscious for only half a day. People in the court are worried. The prince summoned me to the palace to discuss countermeasures."
Prince?
Why did he let his brother enter the palace for no reason?
Although she didn't know the prince well, from the two encounters she had with him, she knew that the prince was definitely not a good person. He wished that the Emperor of the Western Regions would pass away soon so that he could ascend the throne and take over all the power.
How could he possibly ask his brother to help him with advice?
"I'll go with you." Shang Ruoyi whispered, "I'm proficient in medicine, maybe I can help."
Jun Zeqian nodded when he heard that. It was true. After she looked at the wound on his head, the pain was gone.
Shang Ruoyi turned to the guards beside her and said, "You two follow me into the palace, and the rest of you must guard the palace. Understand?"
"Yes, master."
As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, several guards came forward and said, "Prince, Princess, please take off your weapons."
Jun Zeqian held the long sword in his hand and whispered, "When the late emperor was alive, he allowed us in the City Prince's Mansion to bring weapons into the palace. Why can't we do that now?"
"Sir, this is an order from the Crown Prince, and I dare not disobey!" The guard said with some embarrassment: "If we don't confiscate the weapons, and the Crown Prince blames us, I'm afraid our lives will be in danger!"
Jun Zeqian handed him the sword, and the guards smiled and said, "Please step forward, my lord. I want to search you."
Jun Zeqian frowned slightly, but did not say anything to stop him.
After the inspection, Jun Zeqian was ready to take Shang Ruoyi into the palace. Before he took a step, he heard the guard say, "Wait a minute, my lord. The princess hasn't been searched yet!"
Jun Zeqian heard this and slapped Shang Ruoyi in the face without waiting for her to make a move: "Asshole! You actually wanted to search my sister's body, are you tired of living?"
After saying this, You felt unsatisfied and slapped him again, knocking all his teeth out.
The guard fell to the ground, his head buzzing and the world spinning.
Shang Ruoyi stepped forward and sneered, "Are you the prince's confidant?"
Seeing this, the guards behind him stepped forward and said cautiously: "My lord, we are all guards of the Crown Prince's Mansion."
"I've always said that the relationship between master and servant is not good. If you want to search my body, don't even mention your claws. Even if it's your master's claws, I'll chop them off if I want to."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and followed Jun Zeqian into the palace.
At this time, the number of patrolling guards in the palace was twice as many as before. Under the guidance of their eunuch, the two came to the emperor's bedroom. At this time, Concubine Xiao was sitting beside the bed, looking at the Western Region Emperor with closed eyes and sunken cheeks on the bed with tears in her eyes. The prince was reviewing memorials in the outer room.
This was the scene that Shang Ruoyi and the others saw when they walked in.
"His Royal Highness."
“No need to be polite.” Jun Yunting saw Shang Ruoyi following behind him and whispered, “Why did the little princess come along?”
"I am grateful for the Queen Mother's teachings. I heard that my brother had entered the palace, so I followed him." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not welcome you?"
"How could that be?" He smiled and said, "Since you are going to see the Queen Mother, how about I order someone to take you to Ningshou Palace?"
"I heard that the emperor is ill. I know some medical skills and can take a look at the emperor." She looked into the inner room and found that Concubine Xiao's eyes were slightly red. It seemed that she had been crying. She couldn't help but laugh. What was there to cry about? Wasn't she with some Taoist priest? Wasn't the old emperor dead just what she wanted?
Hearing her voice, Concubine Xiao narrowed her eyes and walked out slowly: "You are here."
"The royal concubine."
"I heard you say you know medicine?"
“It’s just shallow.”
"The imperial physician in the palace diagnosed that it was caused by a heart attack due to anxiety. He prescribed a lot of prescriptions, but none of them worked. If you know anything about it, come and take a look!"
Hearing her say this, the prince could not refute and nodded, "Okay."
Shang Ruoyi walked into the inner room, and after taking the patient's pulse, she withdrew her hand and said a little embarrassedly, "The results of your pulse diagnosis are exactly the same as those of the imperial doctors. It is indeed caused by impatience."
Hearing her say this, the expression on Concubine Xiao's face became even softer than before.
He laughed secretly in his heart. It seemed that he was overthinking. Her medical skills were just so-so, not as brilliant as He Jinghe said.
