Chapter 172 Restoration
Ruan Qing put the letter back into the envelope, and put it in the memorial, took the handkerchief away, and restored it to its original position.

Finally, she opened the door carefully. There was no one outside, but she could tell that someone was about to come around the corner, so she walked out directly.

Hiding at the corner of the other road, she happened to be far away. When she saw Yuzhu, she waved her hand directly to signal Yuzhu to come over.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally he could see the person clearly. The shoes were embroidered with python patterns, and the clothes he was wearing were also embroidered with python patterns. It was undoubtedly Shang Lingxuan.

At this time, Yuzhu had already walked over after trotting, and Ruan Qing and Yuzhu walked out directly.

As soon as Shang Lingxuan saw that the two people had just opened the door halfway, he immediately retracted it, but he still didn't forget to close the door when he retracted it.

Shang Lingxuan said jokingly, "Hey, Princess Yu is here today."

Ruan Qing flashed a scornful explanation in her eyes: "I have seen His Royal Highness, I am Princess Yu, and I hope that His Royal Highness will respect himself, don't be so frivolous, and let outsiders see that he is unworthy of virtue."

Her face was gentle but her words were so harsh, Shang Lingxuan's originally relaxed expression showed displeasure after listening to it.

She made a short salute and walked forward, Shang Lingxuan hurriedly followed.

Shang Lingxuan said impatiently, "Why are you leaving so quickly? I haven't seen you for a long time. Why don't you sit down and talk about the past."

A hint of cunning flashed in Ruan Qing's eyes, as if she had some idea in her heart, she explained with a disgusted look: "I'm here to see the princess, I still need to give some advice, the prince should not be so glib, prince How should the concubine feel when she finds out?"

Back in the main hall, there were many calligraphy and paintings that did not belong to the main hall, and Meng Wanrou was standing in front, looking at these calligraphy and paintings pretending not to understand.

Shang Lingxuan looked at the calligraphy and paintings in the main hall and asked Meng Wanrou: "These are in the warehouse well, what are you doing with them?"

Meng Wanrou and Ruan Qing hadn't spoken yet, but the prince's questioning voice arrived first.

When Meng Wanrou heard the voice of Prince Shang Lingxuan, her eyes instantly became tender, and she explained with a smile: "It's not my sister who said I love money, I just thought about it carefully.

As a princess, I shouldn't care about everything, so I specially asked my sister to appreciate the calligraphy and painting together, and give me some pointers. "

Shang Lingxuan nodded, if Meng Wanrou had more knowledge background, she could also please the Emperor, the husband and wife would be prosperous and both would be prosperous, and both would be harmed.

Meng Wanrou smiled, directly poured two cups of tea, brought them to the two with a smile and said, "My sister didn't make good tea when she first came here, this time I specially brewed [-]-year-old tangerine peel, I hope my sister will not blame me."

Seeing her face like this, Ruan Qing couldn't help feeling a little ridiculous, but she took the tea with both hands without hitting the smiling face.

Shang Lingxuan's face showed a little displeasure, although the century-old tangerine peel was available in the Prince's Mansion, it was not something that could be taken out casually, but seeing Ruan Qing drinking well, the depression in his heart dissipated without a trace in an instant.

Shang Lingxuan also savored the tea brewed from the century-old tangerine peel, nodding while drinking.

Meng Wanrou probed with pretending concern on her face: "My sister just took so long, which made my sister worry for a long time. If my sister doesn't show up again, I will send a servant to find someone."

Ruan Qing had no choice but to cover up with a smile and explained: "The Prince's Mansion is so big, I lost my way while walking, which made my stomach hurt for a long time, and my stomach hurts too much, so I was delayed again and again. It took longer."

Meng Wanrou didn't believe it, and then questioned, wanting to know the truth, she said: "Next time, let the maid next to you come back and let me know, and there are so many servants in the Prince's House, it's surprising that I didn't see my sister, you Isn't it strange to say that?"

In order to win Ruan Qing's favor, Shang Lingxuan reprimanded Meng Wanrou and asked: "How can there be so many servants in the Prince's Mansion, everyone is doing their own duties, how can they be so careless about others? Isn't it safe for people to appear here now?" ?”

Meng Wanrou was full of grievances in her heart, but she had nowhere to explain it: "Your Highness, it's messed up if the concubine cares about it. In the future, she will definitely have the demeanor of a princess and stop bragging."

Shang Lingxuan began to say a little courteously: "The food in the Prince's Mansion is excellent, you might as well stay and taste it, it just so happens that you two sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's good to catch up."

Ruan Qing shook her head with a smile and said, "There are still things to take care of in Prince Yu's mansion, so I won't stay here for dinner."

Shang Lingxuan went directly to persuade Meng Wanrou to stay, regardless of what Meng Wanrou was thinking, but she stopped him in the middle.

Meng Wanrou smiled and said: "Sister insists on returning to Prince Yu's mansion, why should we stop it again and again, and go back later, and delay on the road for a while, the sky is getting dark, and the road is not easy to travel."

Then she ignored Shang Lingxuan's livid face, and sent her maid to send Ruan Qing out.

Ruan Qing couldn't help sighing in her heart, sometimes a woman's jealousy is also very strong, but this time, the jealousy unexpectedly helped her to get rid of a difficult prince.

But instead of helping herself, she was helping herself. The results of the medicine that Shang Xuyu sent someone to test came out.

Shang Xuyu asked in a puzzled manner, "What was the result?"

Gu Yu reported with some seriousness: "It has been detected, and there is a chronic poison in it. If it goes on for a long time, it will cause serious consequences."

His heart felt cold, and he couldn't help sweating from behind, but he waved his hand calmly to make Gu Yu retreat.

It happened that Ruan Qing had just returned home and came to Shang Xuyu's place.

Ruan Qing said in surprise: "Do you know what I found? I found a letter."

Shang Xuyu asked vigilantly: "What letter, who gave it to whom, and what did it say?"

I didn't talk about the medicine, and I didn't plan to say anything for the time being, but I just asked her the question in the letter.

Ruan Qing took a deep breath, calmed down and explained slowly: "It's a secret letter from the prime minister to the crown prince, which was sandwiched in the memorial. I saw it, and a painting was mentioned on it, but there was no specific detail. If you want to solve the puzzle, you still have to find this painting."

Shang Xuyu nodded and said, "Then let's start with the picture you mentioned, the secret letter from the prime minister to the prince. Both of them are high-ranking and powerful. This picture will definitely not be simple."

She nodded, agreeing in her heart, but because the two were still in a cold war, she didn't express it clearly.

Ruan Qing still couldn't help but said with concern: "You must be careful when looking for this painting, no matter how careful you are."

The two ordered Gu Yu to find the painting
