What was even more unexpected was that Ruan Geng, an old man, actually instigated the emperor to attack on the spot when it came to driving a wedge between the queen and the prince.
The truth was mercilessly exposed in public. Li Gong thought about this and couldn't help but clenched his fists.
It was a masterpiece that Li Gong had been proud of for ten years. Even if it was not completely successful, thinking about the emperor's separation from his wife, mother and son, would always make him feel better no matter how bad his mood was.
Ten years ago, it was Ruan Geng who did the bad things. Ten years later, it was Ruan Geng and his grandson and Ruan Geng who did the bad things. Originally, the person Li Gong hated the most was the emperor, but now it is Ruan Geng.
Fortunately, there are ways. Li Gong looked at the dark street with a sneer on his lips, and then he slowly turned around and entered.
As Li Gong's figure entered the door, the two doors behind him immediately closed, making a loud closing sound, which was particularly harsh in the silence.
In the bedroom of Ruan Geng and his wife in Fu'an Hall, Ruan Geng was lying on the bed sickly. He had been having a restless year. He fell ill since the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
At first I was just a little sleepy, but within two or three days I couldn't get up.
After seeing it, the imperial physician in the palace said that Ruan Geng was infected with wind and cold in his old age and prescribed medicine, but it did not work after taking it.
Although illnesses come and go like silkworms, who is Ruan Geng? He soon realized that something was wrong.
At this moment, Mrs. Ruan was sitting on the bedside looking worriedly at her old man, while Ruan Mianmian was pacing around the house.
"They're back." Jiu'er's voice came from outside.
Ruan Mianmian's eyes immediately fell on the door. The bedroom door was opened, and Hongyu hurried in from outside. A Dong who was following her entered the room and saw her crossing the threshold, and immediately stopped. Jiu'er outside casually
Close the door again.
"How's it going?" Ruan Mianmian couldn't wait to greet him.
"Princess, Hong Yu is lucky to have lived up to his command." As Hong Yu spoke, she walked to the table and took a bundle from behind and put it down.
At the same time, Ruan Geng motioned to Mrs. Ruan to help him up, and their eyes fell on the bundle on the table.
Hongyu unpacked the bag and said, "This man is really thoughtful, look at it."
As Hongyu unpacked the baggage, the eyes of the three grandfathers and grandsons in the room fell on the dark wood on the table with doubtful expressions on their faces.
"what?"
As soon as Ruan Mianmian stretched out his hand, he was stopped by Hong Yu: "Don't touch it, it's poisonous."
"Little girl, you mean that this is why I was poisoned." Ruan Geng looked at Hong Yu in disbelief, "I have never seen wood like this."
"Don't you look familiar, Mr. Marquis?" Hongyu rarely showed a proud look, "I just found it after a long search. By the way, I just intercepted the poisonous part."
"Part of it?" Ruan Geng looked at it a few more times and it seemed familiar.
"What time has it been? Don't show off." Ruan Mianmian urged.
After Hongyu quickly rewrapped the package, she looked extremely serious in the blink of an eye.
"For the record, Mr. Marquis, after searching carefully in the study, I finally discovered that there is something wrong with half of the chair legs.
"Oh!" Ruan Mianmian and Ruan Geng said in unison.
No wonder that half of the dark wood looked familiar. It was clearly the legs of the particularly large Taishi chair behind the desk in Ruan Geng's study.
"The poison was smeared on the chair legs, and it was smeared on the left rear chair leg, and half of it was smeared. This person knows the old Marquis' habits very well, and I predict that you will sit in that chair for a long time." Hongyu smiled.
, "Now that I have found the root cause, I will be able to prepare an antidote soon."
"So that's it." Ruan Mianmian nodded slightly, "Hurry up and prepare the antidote for your grandfather."
Hongyu put the package on her shoulders, saluted Ruan Geng and the others and quickly left.
"What on earth is it? What kind of riddle are you two talking about?" Mrs. Ruan really didn't understand it just now, but she still kept her composure and waited for Hongyu to leave before asking.
Ruan Mianmian stepped forward to comfort her and said, "Grandma, I promise you, Hong Yu will definitely be able to find a solution, and my grandfather will be fine."
Ruan Geng said: "You go to other rooms to rest first. No matter how old you are, you don't care about yourself. You take care of me day and night. If I get better and you fall down, won't I still have to take care of you?"
The words were harsh, but Mrs. Ruan knew that the old man felt sorry for her and was not angry because of it.
Looking at Ruan Geng and seeing him nodding slightly, Mrs. Ruan finally felt relieved. The tacit understanding between them, an old couple for decades, no longer needed any explanation. She knew there was something fishy in it. Anyway, as long as
It would be nice if the old man could ensure that he was fine.
After sending Mrs. Ruan to the door and watching Aunt Yun helping her to rest, Ruan Mianmian turned around and returned to Ruan Geng's bed.
"Does Grandfather have any doubts in his heart?"
"Is there anyone suspicious in Mianmian's heart?"
They both said the same thing at the same time, and after they finished speaking, the grandfather and grandson looked at each other.
Ruan Mianmian was the first to shake his head and sigh, and then Ruan Geng also shook his head and sighed. Xiaotuanzi looked at his grandfather's hair that was mixed with silver threads, and suddenly realized that there was a lot more white hair than before, and it was already more black than black hair.
"Perhaps we are overthinking it," Xiao Naituanzi comforted.
Ruan Geng said calmly: "Actually, I have been suspicious for a long time. I have always been unwilling to believe it in the past, so I did not conduct a thorough investigation."
"Grandpa, can you tell me something?"
"Wait, I'll tell you after I receive the news and sort it out."
"Okay, grandpa, take some rest and I'll wait for good news."
Ruan Mianmian heard that Adong came in to serve Ruan Geng and then left Fu'an Hall with Jiu'er.
As soon as Xiaonuituanzi left, Ruan Geng slowly raised his head and glanced out the window. Ruan Yi flew in from outside, saluted him respectfully and stepped aside.
"Do you think Mianmian noticed something?"
"The princess is smart."
"Yeah, she's so smart, it's not surprising that she's aware of it." Ruan Geng coughed a few times.
Ruan Yi hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it over: "Old Marquis, are you okay?"
After drinking a few mouthfuls of water and feeling relieved, Ruan Geng said: "It's okay, it's just that I feel chilled when I think about it."
After hearing what Ruan Geng said, Ruan Yi remained silent. He didn't like to talk much.
"That night, are you sure it was him?" It's not that Ruan Geng didn't believe Ruan Yi, he just wanted to confirm again.
"yes."
Ruan Geng looked gloomy, and after a while he spoke: "Tell me what they said that night."
Ruan Yi breathed a sigh of relief. When he came back to report, he only said who the person was. The old Marquis was obviously greatly shocked and immediately waved for him to leave. He never asked in detail again.
Soon, Ruan Geng began to feel unwell. At first, he thought it was due to wind and cold, but after taking medicine, it became more and more serious.
In the end, Ruan Mianmian was still very careful and asked Hongyu to thoroughly investigate everything the old Marquis used and ate in his daily life.
After Hongyu confirmed that the old Marquis was poisoned, Ruan Yi made up his mind that even if he concealed his ears and didn't want to know, he would still tell everything he heard that night.
