Chapter 138 The Emperor is Sick
Chenyu was startled and looked at her in confusion, "What do you mean, Princess? I don't understand."
"Don't give me that." Rong Heqing said unhappily, "You know what I mean, Li Chenyu."
Chenyu's hands suddenly tightened, almost making a hole in the handkerchief. She looked at Rong Heqing in disbelief.
How did she know her name?
She never told anyone, so it's impossible for anyone to know!
But after thinking about it, she was not sure whether there were any survivors left.
What if? What if someone is still alive...
Thinking of this, her heart started beating rapidly again.
"What are you talking about, Princess? Who is Li Chenyu? My name is Chenyu, and Chen is my last name." She pretended to be innocent and said, "Did Princess remember the wrong person?"
Rong Heqing raised an eyebrow, stroking the teacup with one hand, and looked at her leisurely, "Are you sure?"
Without waiting for Chenyu to speak, she lowered her eyes and asked, "Do you know who you saved last time? After you went back, did the people of Jingwei cause you any trouble?"
Chenyu's breathing suddenly stopped and she almost couldn't maintain her calm expression.
How does she even know this?!
She was shocked and confused, and didn't say anything for a long time. She wanted to lie but couldn't think of a good reason. If she didn't admit it, she wouldn't know how many secrets the other person knew about her.
A suffocating silence enveloped the two of them.
After an unknown amount of time, Chenyu suddenly stood up and said, "I feel a little unwell. I'll go back first. Excuse me."
She said and was about to walk out.
Rong Heqing immediately called her, "What are you afraid of?"
The steps never stopped.
"I can help you, just like I helped Liang Changjin."
Chenyu suddenly stopped walking.
This sentence is so tempting.
Rong Heqing stood up, walked behind her, and said in a deep voice: "I can help you. Do you have any grievances? You can tell me, I will definitely help you. Jingwei is not a good person. If you hang out with them, it is like seeking the skin of a tiger. Sooner or later, you will be bitten back."
"It's not too late to turn back. Everything is still possible now."
Chenyu moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but when she looked up at the trees around her, her eyes dimmed again.
"Princess, you are overthinking. I don't know who Jingwei is, nor do I know Li Chenyu. I'm sorry."
She turned around, her expression back to normal, and said with a smile: "Princess, you are willing to support me, I am very grateful, thank you, but I am a brothel girl, and now I am the concubine of Marquis Lu Yang's mansion, Princess, it is better not to get too close to me, so as not to tarnish your reputation."
After saying this, she bowed deeply to Rong Heqing, folded her hands in front of her forehead, and kowtowed to her.
Rong Heqing was stunned and frowned tightly.
"Are you really going to do it this way?"
After Chenyu stood up, she didn't look at her again, but said distantly: "I'll take my leave."
Rong Heqing pursed her lips and didn't try to persuade him to stay.
She watched Chenyu's slender figure walk out of the courtyard and gradually disappear.
There was a rustling sound behind her, and Chu Suifeng jumped down from somewhere and landed behind her. He asked in confusion, "Why doesn't she want to accept your help? No matter what, a princess has more power than a concubine in a marquis's mansion. Does she not trust you, or is she wronged and even you can't do anything about it?"
Rong Heqing shook his head, "I don't know either."
"You don't know?" Chu Suifeng was stunned. "Then what did you do just now?"
"Oh, I lied to her. I knew her name was Li Chenyu, but I guessed everything else."
Rong Heqing looked calm.
Chu Suifeng: "..."
It has to be you.
999 was also surprised: [Host, you cheated her without knowing anything. Aren't you afraid that Jingwei's people will find out and come to trouble you again? ]
When it comes to Jingwei Rong and Qing, I get so angry, [This damn Jingwei, they are everywhere, just like a shit stirrer, they want to get involved in everything, I don't know what they are trying to do. ]
She could understand why he was staring at King Annan, because it was for the military power. Nancheng was such a big piece of fat meat, not to mention them, everyone wanted to take a bite.
But she couldn't understand Liang Changjin who came later. They helped Liang Changjin in order to overthrow Duke Rong and the Queen, and finally succeeded in making the Prince fall out of favor.
If the person behind Jingwei was King Rong or King Zhou, then it would be understandable, as they did benefit.
But according to her observation, these two people have no connection with Jingwei.
And judging from her reaction this time, Chenyu is obviously closely related to Jingwei.
She had previously compiled a relationship chart for the royal family and memorized all their in-laws. If she remembered correctly, Marquis Lu Yang's sister had married into Princess Rong's mother's family, so the two families were relatives.
Marquis Luyang had sided with Prince Rong, the eldest prince, early in the morning.
From this perspective, Prince Rong can be basically ruled out as a suspect. Chenyu obviously went to Marquis Luyang's mansion with some purpose. Marquis Luyang is loyal to Prince Rong, and there is no need for Prince Rong to harm his own people and damage his own foundation.
Rong Heqing pondered for a moment, then turned and went to the study.
She took out a pen and paper, wrote down the titles of the nine current princes, and then crossed them out one by one.
The prince was the first victim, his mother’s family was completely destroyed, not him.
Prince Rong, not really.
Obviously, her Prince Duan is not one of them, unless he is schizophrenic and has a strong desire to perform, so he can pretend to be flawless in front of her.
And her cousin Prince Jin, he is not that cunning, and there is no need to harm her, it will not benefit him.
The rest of these...
Her eyes fell on the last four words "Fourteenth Prince" and she decisively crossed them out.
Eliminate five from nine, and there are four left, which is still a large range.
And they all seem to have suspicions and motives.
Especially King Zhou who was fighting with King Rong.
"King Zhou... could it be him?"
Rong Heqing murmured to himself.
Chu Suifeng leaned against the door with his arms folded, "So what? We don't have any evidence, and no one can point the finger. Let's just think about Chen Yu."
"That's right." Rong Heqing sighed, leaned back in his chair and doubted his life.
Moreover, her main task is to investigate Li Chenyu, which has nothing to do with Jingwei.
The most urgent task is to first understand the purpose of sinking fish.
But how to get her to speak?
Rong Heqing was at a loss as she had too few clues in her hands and could only wait for news from Wansheng Building.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Instead of news from Wansheng Tower, there was a letter from the palace - the emperor was ill.
The illness came on suddenly and was so serious that the emperor couldn't get out of bed and didn't even attend the morning court.
Originally everyone thought it was just an ordinary headache or fever, but they didn't expect that he would be sick for seven days, and not only did his condition show no signs of improvement, it was getting worse.
The imperial physician kept his head on his belt every day, and every time he opened his eyes he would be thankful that he had lived one more day.
As Princess Duan, Rong Heqing also had to enter the palace to serve the sick. According to the order, it was her turn today.
She went in with Concubine Xian to visit the Emperor and happened to run into the imperial physician coming out.
Xianfei immediately asked: "How is your Majesty? Is he awake?"
