Chapter 40

The emperor's majestic eyes looked at Ming Cangyu for a moment. He had not seen him for a year. He was much stronger and more powerful. He asked in a deep voice, "Is something wrong?"

"Concubine Xuan Erchen came to the palace for the marriage between the second daughter of the Shen family and the seventh child." Ming Cangyu said expressionlessly.

The emperor frowned, his face obviously not good-looking. He had already explained the reason to Concubine Xian, but he still couldn't wait. He felt angry and was about to speak. Suddenly his throat felt itchy and he couldn't help coughing. This cough made him cough. Out of control, he coughed one after another, making his whole face turn red.

The second prince and the seventh prince hurriedly stepped forward with anxious expressions on their faces.

The emperor covered his mouth with his hand and coughed several times. When he let go, his palms were covered in blood.

The expressions of the second prince and the seventh prince suddenly changed.

"Come here! Call the doctor quickly!"

Ming Cangyu's eyes darkened, he walked forward quickly, held the emperor's wrist, put three fingers on his pulse, and his face darkened little by little.

The emperor withdrew his hand, his face was a bit pale, and his voice was hoarse, "I'm fine. Now that I'm back, just stay here with peace of mind."

Ming Cangyu was silent for two seconds and then said, "Nie Beichuan is in the capital. I will ask him to enter the palace to show his father."

"No, it's not a serious problem for me, as long as you don't let me worry about it."

Ming Cangyu was silent.

The emperor sighed, "Put the marriage with the Shen family on hold until Shen Huaizhi wakes up."

After Pei and Shen Fengnian discussed it, they handed over a shop that had been in deficit all year round to Shen Yuan.

The shop was originally a rice and grain business, and it was located in a busy city in a good location. However, Pei was not good at running it, so he did not make any money.

Shen Yuan immediately took Miao Shu and Peixia out of the house and took over the shop.

The first thing to do when a new official takes office is to check the accounts, and the problem will be found in this check.

The shopkeeper is a big worm. The reason why the shop has been in deficit in recent years is because the shopkeeper reported false accounts, deliberately falsely reported the purchase price of rice and set high prices. The rice could not be sold for a long time, and was sold at low prices for various reasons.

On the same day, the shopkeeper was turned to the government.

Shen Yu'an planned to transform Mihang into a medical hall. Due to the high initial investment cost, she did not have much funds, so she entered the Wangu Tower again. This time, she sold a lot of useful information.

The private affairs in the homes of high-ranking officials in the capital would be exposed in the future, and she had already sold the news in advance.

For example, a concubine from Cai Yushi's family stole someone, or the son of the Minister of Etiquette kept a concubine, declared to the outside world that he had no wife or concubines, and let matchmakers go around with the Geng Tie to trample on other people's houses, hoping to marry a high-class wife.

For example, the son of Hube Shangshu liked the daughter brought by his stepmother, who was his half-sister. He once wanted to take his sister as his concubine, but the sister felt she belonged to her, so she refused and was forced to hang herself.

Another example is that Miss Jiang Bingyue of the Jiang Mansion is the woman of the fourth prince Ming Shao Yin, and she is also ambiguously involved with Ye Lin, the young master of the Ye Mansion.

Shen Yuan does not produce gossip, she is just a seller of gossip.

The information she sold was private, and when it was impossible to tell whether it was true or false, Mo Changcun immediately asked someone to investigate. Once confirmed, the money and goods were cleared.

Shen Yu'an made a fortune, got his first pot of gold, and sent a piece of news for free. Half a month later, the heavy rain in Jiangnan stopped and entered a period of severe drought. After the heavy rain, there was a severe drought, causing a plague.

This was equivalent to a prediction of the future, which shocked Mo Changcun.

Shen Yu'an didn't care whether he believed it or not, she just told her what she knew. Man-made things were different in this life, but natural disasters could not be changed.

She will be prepared to deal with disasters. Wangu Tower has far wider connections than her and can do more.

The next day, Shen Yu'an started to organize people to renovate the shop. However, she did not do it as the second lady of the Shen family. Instead, she changed into men's clothes and changed her appearance. With her new look, she would not be easily noticed when walking among the crowd. ordinary face.On the third day, the Shen family announced that Shen Huai had awakened.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

It would not disturb Shen Huai's rest and recuperation, so the Shen family closed its doors to thank guests.

It is said that thanking guests behind closed doors can only block ordinary guests, but the people in the palace cannot stop them.

Xu Zhenheng, the head of Taiyuan Hospital, once again went to Shen's house to see Shen Huaizhi, accompanied by Ming Cangyu, Gu Xingzhou and Nie Beichuan.

Maple Bridge Courtyard.

On the bed, "Shen Huaizhi" was lying weakly, his eyes half-open and half-closed, his face pale, and he looked sick.

The heads of the hospital, Xu Zhenheng and Nie Beichuan, checked his pulse one after another. Their reactions were both shocked and nothing unusual could be seen.

"Miss Shen Er has excellent medical skills. Prince Shen has passed the critical period. If he survives the disaster, he will be blessed!" Xu Zhenheng said.

Shen Fengnian's eyes were red, and he was crying, real and fake.

"Where is Miss Shen Er?" Ming Cangyu asked.

Mrs. Pei on the side replied, "That girl said she wanted to do business, so she ran out when the weather came up. She went out early and came back late these past two days, and basically saw no one."

Ming Cangyu didn't ask any more questions. He had come to Shen Mansion to look for Shen Fengnian earlier and asked in private whether Shen Fengnian had other daughters.

Shen Fengnian said definitely no. He didn't give up and asked him if he knew a girl named Shen Suining. Shen Fengnian's reaction at that time was a bit strange.

Although he concealed it well and denied knowing Shen Suining, he could not misunderstand that Shen Fengnian was lying.

Shen Suining is definitely related to the Shen family.

"The matter about Miss Shen Er's pregnancy out of wedlock has caused a storm in the city. There are already censors preparing to impeach Mr. Shen and Miss Shen Er. Does the Shen family not care at all?"

Shen Fengnian melancholy said, "Going back to the prince, I am naturally worried, but it is useless to worry. Those who purify themselves will purify themselves. I believe that the emperor will restore the innocence of the Shen family."

"Innocent? How could there be any mistakes in the consultation between two imperial doctors? Does Mr. Shen mean that the royal family deliberately slanders Miss Shen Er?"

"The veteran is too frightened to make this conjecture."

"The Emperor has issued an imperial edict to break off the engagement. The Seventh Prince will break off the engagement soon. Master Shen must know what he will face after breaking off the engagement. I would like to see how the Shen family can prove their innocence."

*

Suddenly, on the second day, Concubine Xian sent Eunuch Zeng to the Shen family to break off the engagement, but the seventh prince did not go there in person.

In the eyes of the world, this is a disregard for the Shen family.

As for the Shen family, the person involved, Shen Yuan, was not at home either.

Eunuch Zeng waited and urged the Shen family to send someone to find Shen Yu'an until it was getting dark and Shen Yu'an did not come. He wanted to humiliate Shen Yu'an in public, but the plan failed. After reading the imperial edict, Hei left with a sullen face.

After returning to the palace, naturally there were various arrangements in front of Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian allowed her son to ignore Shen Yu'an, but she couldn't tolerate Shen Yu'an ignoring the people she sent, and she was very angry.

Another night passed, and the next morning at the court, the censors accused Shen Fengnian of not being strict with his goddaughter, and Shen Yu'an of not being responsible, getting pregnant before marriage, trying to marry into the royal family, confusing the royal bloodline, being shameless in the secular world, and should be imprisoned in a pig cage .

More than half of the ministers agreed and demanded that Shen Yuan be severely punished.
