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

Chapter 247 Reaping the consequences

As Shang Ruoyi finished speaking, Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, we will be extremely careful."

She waved her hand and the officers and soldiers went to search the backyard.

Situ Wen stared at her. Shang Ruoyi sat on the armchair, and the guard beside her brought her a cup of hot tea. How could this look like a guilty conscience? She was clearly confident.

After a while, an officer came forward and said, "Sir, we found a secret door in the rockery in the backyard."

Situ Wen glanced at Shang Ruoyi with a little excitement. She was wearing a mask at the moment, so her facial expression could not be seen clearly, but from her relaxed state, she did not seem nervous at all.

“Master Lingjun, could you explain to me this secret door…” Situ Wen looked like a smug villain.

Shang Ruoyi didn't wait for him to finish, and handed the teacup to the guard next to him, sneering: "Why, the farm next door is also mine, can't I install a secret door between the two farms?" She stood up and pulled her cloak closer: "I have money but I'm not allowed to buy a house?"

"Why would you buy such a big house by yourself?" Situ Wen said coldly.

"Your question is really ridiculous. What is the house used for? Of course it is used for sleeping. Could it be used to raise pigs?" She sneered, "Why, General Situ's mansion only has a few rooms? Or only one bed? Anyway, in the general's mind, as long as the house can be lived in, it's fine."

Shang Ruoyi's words made Situ Wen's face turn purple.

"Hmph, I'll let you be proud for a while. I'm going to go to the neighboring farm to take a look. If I find anything, don't blame me for being ruthless."

He waved his hand and followed the soldiers to the secret door, walked through the secret passage, and came to the courtyard next door. He saw that the courtyard was bigger than the one next to it, but after searching around, he couldn't find even a cat except a few guards.

This made Situ Wen's face even gloomier.

"How can this be?"

Zhou Xiang was also a little surprised.

what on earth is it?

The intelligence they received clearly stated that He Yuwen appeared near these two manors.

Where would such a living person hide?

They could never have imagined that Shang Ruoyi would have such a magical space.

"How is it? Did the two adults gain anything?" Shang Ruoyi walked forward and said in a cold voice.

"Tell me! Where did you hide He Yuwen?" Situ Wen rushed forward and tried to grab her collar.

The secret guard behind him was about to take action when he saw Shang Ruoyi suddenly swung out a palm, hitting Situ Wen's palm.

"what!"

With a scream, He Yuwen's entire arm was pushed backwards, and the bone at his shoulder seemed to bulge out.

Tsk tsk tsk, this arm is useless.

Anyone who practices martial arts knows that this kind of injury is irreversible. Even if a medical saint were alive and could reconnect the broken bones, it would be difficult to repair the damage to the arm.

For a general like Situ Wen, having his arm disabled means he can never go to the battlefield again.

No one expected that she had such profound inner strength.

"You! How dare you attack me!" Situ Wen's forehead was covered with sweat, and he was furious. He said angrily: "You are committing treason and severely injuring an official of the imperial court. You should be executed!"

Shang Ruoyi rubbed her wrist and said sarcastically, "You are committing treason? Who do you think you are? How dare you act like an official in front of me?"

The severe pain in Situ Wen's shoulder almost made him faint.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiang knew that the matter of He Yuwen would not have any result today.

He walked forward and said with a smile: "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, please don't blame us, Godly Doctor. We apologize to you for being so abrupt."

If this mansion belonged to an ordinary citizen or a merchant, even if they caught the wrong person, they would have to admit defeat. After all, the people should not fight against the officials. If the people go against the government, how could they have a good ending?

But how can ordinary people compare to the genius doctor Lingjun?

Even His Majesty praised her medical skills highly. If she hadn't rescued her last time, the Queen might not have lived to this day.

Because of this, he naturally had to treat Shang Ruoyi with respect.

Shang Ruoyi glanced at him. She knew exactly what he was thinking.

"Since Lord Zhou said so, I will give you this face."

Hearing her say this, Zhou Xiang's heart slowly settled down. But before he could smile wider, Shang Ruoyi continued, "However, how are you two going to compensate for the loss of my mansion?"

At this time, Situ Wen could no longer care about what she said, as he was already in a semi-comatose state. Zhou Xiang's smile froze on his face, knowing that he would probably lose money today: "I wonder what the miracle doctor means..."

"Don't worry, Master Zhou. I'm not an unreasonable person. You just need to compensate me for the damage to my gate and the damage for disturbing my peace tonight."

"Okay, okay, I wonder how much money the miracle doctor wants?"

Shang Ruoyi thought for a moment and said, "This door is not expensive. How much silver did it cost to repair it?" She looked at the guard beside her. The guard understood and said quickly, "My lord, the door only cost 30,000 taels of silver."

"30,3000 taels?" Zhou Xiang couldn't help but gasp, "What gate would cost 30,000 taels? Even the main gate of the imperial palace didn't cost 30,000 taels!"

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "You don't know that this door is coated with a very special medicinal paste, which prevents it from being eaten by insects for a hundred years. This medicinal paste is extremely precious and cannot be bought with any amount of silver, so it is worth thirty thousand taels."

Zhou Xiang knew that she was now asking for too much and was trying to blackmail him.

Not only did he lose thirty thousand taels of silver in vain, but he also offended people and failed to catch the criminal.

This time we lost both the wife and the army.

"As for my losses, I won't ask you for money, but I heard that there is a red coral in Lord Zhou's house. It is said that red coral is very good for sleeping. I am shamelessly asking Lord Zhou for it today. I wonder if you can give me this favor?"

Red coral is very valuable. She remembered that on the day of their wedding, Zhou Xiang gave her a coral as a gift. At that time, she heard people say that Zhou Xiang loved collecting and that he had a blood-red coral in his study, which was extremely beautiful, but he seldom displayed it.

Recently she was developing a pill, which happened to require red coral as a medicine.

If Zhou Xiang knew that she wanted to use such a precious thing as medicine, he would probably be furious.

He smiled bitterly and nodded: "Since the divine doctor likes it, I will definitely send someone to deliver the coral when I return."

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "In that case, I will thank you in advance."

Zhou Xiang looked at Situ Jing beside him and saw that his lips were blue and purple, with a trace of blood slowly flowing from his lips.

"Is this poisoning?"

He exclaimed in surprise: "General Situ! Wake up!"

Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly. She did not poison him when they were fighting. So, the poison must have already entered his body long ago.

"Divine doctor, can you treat General Situ?" Zhou Xiang said with a bow.
