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

Chapter 186 Seeking Death

However, now that the Queen has been poisoned, the entire capital is under martial law. Sending someone to retrieve the medical book from the Prince's Mansion would be extremely difficult, not to mention that the medical book would be used as a bargaining chip to treat the Queen.

Shang Ruoyi thought for a moment and said softly, "No, I'll go there myself."

"No, it's dangerous to go there. I will never let you go alone."

Shang Ruoyi looked at his legs and said with a smile, "I can't go alone, how about you accompany me, Prince?"

After a while, He Jingheng nodded: "It's not impossible."

Yuntian and Yunqi looked at their own prince and curled their lips at the same time.

What danger? Fear of being exposed?

It was simply an excuse he made because he didn't want to be separated from the Crown Princess.

"However, there is a difficult matter to be resolved right now."

"Zhao Gang?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "This person is very difficult to deal with. If he knew that we left here without permission and returned to Beijing, no one in the He family would be happy."

At this moment, a guard came over and said, "Master, Zhao Gang has surrounded us with a group of people."

"Listen up, He family members. Everyone, stand against the wall. This is a routine inspection." The bailiff next to Zhao Gang shouted.

A hint of anger flashed in Shang Ruoyi's eyes. This Zhao Gang was really lingering around. As soon as she mentioned him, he came to cause trouble.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard He Jingheng say calmly, "With this prince here, why should you step forward?"

After saying that, Yuntian walked forward and pushed him out.

Nowadays, most of the guards in the He Mansion are his secret guards. Among them, Yun Tianyunqi occasionally shows up in public, so he always wears a human skin mask and is not afraid of being recognized by others.

Zhao Gang was standing outside the door, looking at the plaque of the He Mansion with disdain, sneering, "So what if it's the Dingguo Palace? Now that it's in decline, don't you have to behave yourself and be submissive when you see me?"

At this moment, there was a sound of breaking air in front of him, and a feather arrow whizzed past his ear, bringing up a gust of wind. He was so scared that he stood still, not daring to move. If the feather arrow had deviated by even a little bit, it would have shot through his head directly.

It took him a while to come back to his senses. Just as he was about to curse loudly, he saw the door in front of him slowly open.

A guard slowly walked out, pushing He Jingheng, who was in a wheelchair.

There was no one from the He family, only the two of them.

"He Jingheng, what were you doing just now? Assassinating an official! Do you know what the crime of assaulting an official is?" Zhao Gang said angrily, "I can execute you right here on the spot."

"Attack an official?" He sneered, "I was just hunting, when did I attack an official?"

"Bullshit!" Zhao Gang waved his hand. "What kind of hunting are you talking about? Where is the prey? Do you think I'm a fool? You are the usurper!"

He Jingheng waved his hand, and the guards behind him walked through the crowd and came under a tree. They picked up the arrow on the ground and saw a pheasant stuck on it.

Zhao Gang's face suddenly turned pale.

I didn't expect there was actually prey.

It's still a fat pheasant.

"Did Lord Zhao see it?"

Zhao Gang whispered, "You did it on purpose, just to intimidate me."

"Threatening?" He Jingheng couldn't help but laugh out loud: "If I really wanted to threaten you, why would I use this method? I remember that Lord Zhao seemed to have worked under me before, and he should be very familiar with my style of doing things. I never threaten others. If someone offends me without knowing how to behave, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Zhao Gang knew his methods, and his expression changed several times when he heard him say that.

If he wanted to deal with someone, he would decide life or death without hesitation.

But at that time, he was the prince and a general. Now he is just a prisoner. I am still afraid of him, which makes him seem even more useless.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gang became even angrier.

He must be incompatible with the He family. First, his wife Shang Ruoyi made him lose face in front of everyone, and now He Jingheng made him lose face in front of his subordinates. If he doesn't teach them a lesson today, how can he survive in this place of exile?

"I told all of you in the He family to come out for a routine inspection. Didn't you understand?"

"You can understand what I'm saying. It's not impossible to conduct a routine inspection late at night. Please show me the search warrant. As long as there is a search warrant, our He family will cooperate."

Zhao Gang's face turned dark. Where did she get the search warrant?

Today's inspection was just a spur-of-the-moment decision on his part. Where could he get a search warrant in the middle of the night?

He Jingheng clearly said this because he was sure that he couldn't get a search warrant.

"I said I want to search, even if there is no search warrant, it will be the same." Zhao Gang's eyes were full of anger: "If you dare to stop me today, it will be considered as obstructing public affairs, and I can still lock you up."

He Jingheng smiled coldly: "I don't know when the laws of Tianshun were changed? Or is it that an official of unknown rank like you can disobey the law?"

Zhao Gang stepped forward and said in a low voice: "He Jingheng, when you come to this place of exile, you'd better put away your arrogance as a prince. In my hands, you will be like a dragon coiled up or a tiger lying down. If you don't obey my discipline, don't blame me for being rude."

He Jingheng pursed his lips, slowly raised his eyes and looked at him: "Then let's try it."

At this time, Shang Ruoyi slowly walked out and came behind He Jingheng: "Jingheng, Lord Zhao is an official after all, and we are civilians. Lord Zhao said he wants to investigate, how can we stop him? Our house is so big, who knows if there will be thieves in it?"

Zhao Gang felt very comfortable listening to Shang Ruoyi's words.

"He Jingheng, I didn't expect that your wife would take advantage of my feelings so much."

There was murderous intent rising in He Jingheng's eyes. Don't think that he didn't understand his hidden meaning.

The knuckles holding the wheelchair armrests turned white, and Shang Ruoyi found that the armrests were beginning to deform slightly.

She hurried forward and pushed the wheelchair aside.

The tense muscles in He Jingheng's arms slowly relaxed.

If it weren't for her, none of the officials and runners present today would have survived.

Zhao Gang had walked through the gates of hell without realizing it, with a smug smile on his face, and sneered, "I did hear that the He family is now headed by Madam Shang, but I didn't expect to see it today, and it's true. I never thought that a dignified prince would also be henpecked."

He waved his hand and said to the yamen runner behind him: "Check carefully for me, is there anything suspicious in this mansion?"

"Yes!"

As soon as the group stepped into the He family's gate, they heard a shrill scream.

"Ah! Help! Tiger! Tiger! Run away!"

What? Tiger?

Where did the tiger come from?

A group of yamen runners ran out tumbling and crawling. Zhao Gang frowned, and when he was about to go and take a look, a huge white tiger appeared in front of him.

"Roar!" A tiger roar made everyone present change their expression suddenly.
