The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 385: Stealing silver?

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. His Highness called me over just to ask about trivial matters that don't matter." Bixi trembled for a moment, and said softly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know my limits."

Concubine Zhao touched her belly. After some time, she would have to find an excuse to let the child be born in an unexpected way. Her eyes fell on the ruins in the distance, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"Since you are dead, I will use your soul for my own benefit."

what?

Soul?

"My lady." Bixi's voice trembled slightly: "What do you mean by soul?"

"Come here."

Concubine Zhao whispered a few words into Bixi's ear.

"Your Highness is wise!" Bixi said with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will make sure to arrange this matter properly when the time comes."

After searching for a few more days, there was still no clue, so He Jingheng had to leave the palace. When he returned to the palace, he was so dishevelled and unshaven that the servant at the door almost didn't recognize him. He looked so miserable, not much better than when he was about to go to war.

"S-Son?"

He Jingheng had just returned home and had not had time to drink a sip of water when he was called over by Qin.

"Mother concubine."

Seeing his appearance, Qin quickly stood up and came forward, choking with sobs and saying, "Where's Ruoyi?"

“Still can’t find it.”

Qin couldn't stop her tears from falling, and He Yunyi also cried and said, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law is so powerful, how could, how could such a thing happen to her?"

He Jingheng said nothing, just stood there with his head down.

"Is there really no hope?"

He Jingheng still said nothing and shook his head.

Qin fell into the chair. Yes, so many days have passed. If the person is still alive, he will be found no matter what.

"Heaven is so unfair!" Qin said with tears in her eyes, "Ruoyi saved our entire palace! She protected the people of Qingzhou and treated so many people. Heaven is so unfair! In the end, she ended up like this." She slapped the table in hatred, "Last time I entered the palace, I swore that everything was up to mother and told her not to worry. Now, she has ended up like this. It was because mother did not protect her well."

"Mother, there are a lot of things going on in the military camp recently, so I will go there first."

"Jingheng, Jingheng!" No matter how she called He Jingheng's name, he did not stop.

"This child, Ruoyi has been missing for so long, but he is not worried at all. He even went to the military camp! Why did he go to the military camp?"

"Mother, don't you understand my brother's temper?" He Yunyi wiped the tears from her face: "He has been looking for me in Lanqing Palace for so long, he must have tried his best. He must be the saddest person about my sister-in-law's disappearance." She didn't know how long it had been since she had seen her brother so overly calm.

He Jingheng rode back to the camp at full speed.

"Sir."

"Is there any news about the Crown Prince's Consort?"

Yuntian shook his head and said in a low voice: "Yunqi didn't receive it either."

He Jingheng frowned slightly: "Is there any unusual movement in the army?"

Yuntian thought for a moment and replied, "It can't be said to be unusual movement, but some people are discussing it privately." He looked at He Jingheng, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"explain."

"People are saying that the prince is so lustful that he has lost his mind. For a woman, he even gave up a hundred thousand troops."

He Jingheng paused.

"Where did this come from?"

"Deputy General Huo Chong said this a few days ago." Yun Tian said in a cold voice: "I have already warned him, and he will not dare to speak nonsense again in the future."

"Send someone to keep a close eye on him."

"Prince, don't worry, he won't say anything more. Do we still need to find someone to keep an eye on him?"

"Stare."

A dark shadow flashed by outside the tent, as if it had never been there.

On the way to Qingzhou, three horses flew past.

Finally arrived at a town.

"We've walked all night, let's rest here for a night!" Ling Feng said with a smile: "Although this town is not big, there are several shops with very delicious food."

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "It just so happens that I am a little hungry."

The gray-clothed old man said angrily: "I won't go. Hurry up and give me the antidote and let me go!"

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Don't you want to learn poison techniques from me?"

"Yup!"

"If I leave now, how will I learn poison techniques?"

The gray-robed old man snorted coldly: "Then I won't learn it! Give me the antidote!"

Shang Ruoyi shook her head: "I'm afraid that won't work."

"why?"

"The poison I gave you was made from some very valuable poisonous herbs. Since you have eaten my poison, you have to pay me for it."

"How much silver?"

"Not much, just one hundred thousand taels."

The old man who was drinking water from a water bag sprayed it out: "How much?"

"One hundred thousand taels."

"You are trying to rob me of my silver!" He covered his pocket, covering his hands. "You little girl has no good intentions. I can see that you have made up your mind to take my silver notes long ago." He had exactly 100,000 taels of silver on him. If he gave them all to her, wouldn't he be left starving?

"Life is precious, but love is more precious. If it is for freedom, both can be abandoned!" Shang Ruoyi said with a smile: "What do you think?"

"Bullshit!" The gray-robed old man waved his hand: "Without money, how can you be free?"

Several people stopped in front of an inn.

Ling Feng was no longer surprised by the quarrels along the way, and said with a smile: "Let's stay here tonight."

Upon hearing this, the old man in gray threw away the reins and walked straight into the store.

Several people ordered some signature dishes.

"The beef in this shop is very fragrant, the braised mushrooms are also very delicious, and the lotus leaf chicken is also very delicious. You can try them."

Shang Ruoyi took a few bites and said with a smile, "Brother Lingfeng, do you know this place well?"

"This place is not far from Xiling. I used to come here often." Ling Feng's eyes fell on the old man in gray who was picking and choosing. "Are these dishes not to your liking?"

The old man in gray nodded and said, "That's it! Just eat whatever you can get as long as you're not hungry. I don't have to pay for it anyway."

Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. She didn't expect him to be so picky.

However, this gave her new ideas.

In the evening, she returned to the space, opened a few pearl clams, and made a stir-fry with the clam meat.

The old man in gray didn't eat much at night, and was about to go out to find something to eat when he smelled a fragrance coming towards him.

"What smells so good?"

"Old man." Shang Ruoyi shook the plate in her hand: "Are you hungry?"

The old man in gray swallowed and asked, "What did you take?"

"Of course it's a secret recipe." She smiled and said, "Would you like to have some wine and a few sips?"

"You're not going to ask me for money for this, are you?" The gray-clothed old man paused and said warily, "I don't have that much money to give you."

"If it's an outsider, of course you have to pay for it, but since I'm giving it to you this time, you don't have to pay for it."
