Chapter 252 A big gamble
Shang Ruoyi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I will diagnose your pulse."
Hearing her address to him, He Yuwen couldn't help but say, "Child, you should follow Jingheng and call me father."
"Yes." Shang Ruoyi placed her hand on his wrist and carefully took his pulse.
When He Yuwen saw that she just responded, he knew her attitude towards him.
I didn't expect this little girl to hold a grudge.
"As I said yesterday, there is nothing wrong with your body. You only need to recuperate for another month or so and you will be back to normal."
"You've worked hard during this period." He Yuwen smiled and said, "My child, you've suffered since you first married into the Dingguo Palace. I really wronged you."
He Jingheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Father, the most similar thing between you and the emperor is that you both talk nonsense."
"What are you talking about, little brat?"
"Am I wrong? If you really think it's hard, then pay with real money."
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but look at him. At this moment, He Jingheng's figure became taller in her heart.
"Now that the palace is sealed, I want to get the silver out. Where can I get it? Do I have to rob it?"
"Why not?" He Jingheng frowned, his eyes filled with coldness, "They were the first to be unkind. Could it be that the governor is allowed to set fires but the people are not allowed to light lamps?"
"You!" He Yuwen slapped the table: "What are you talking about here? Get out!" He glanced at Shang Ruoyi, and when he saw that her expression didn't change at all, his heart sank.
Shang Ruoyi joined their palace, but in the final analysis she was still Shang Nian's biological child. As a minion of Emperor Tianshun, Shang Nian was naturally opposed to their Dingguo Palace.
In fact, when the emperor granted the marriage in the early years, his purpose was very clear, which was to let He Jingheng's princess monitor every move of the Dingguo Palace.
Now that the palace has collapsed, Shangnian's concubine is still in the He family, which makes him suspicious.
Even though Shang Ruoyi saved his life, he still couldn't completely trust her.
I hope my son is not stupid enough to tell her everything about Prince Ding's Palace!
Although he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart when he saw his son acting so unashamedly.
At this moment, Shang Ruoyi made an excuse to leave, and He Yuwen stopped He Jingheng who was about to leave with her.
"You wouldn't give her all the secrets of the palace, would you?"
He Jingheng nodded: "Why not?"
"Did you hurt your brain during your exile? How could you do such a stupid thing?" He Yuwen said angrily: "Let alone her background, why are you telling such an important matter in the palace to a woman? Besides, she is Shangnian's daughter. Do you know that Shangnian..."
"So what?" He Jingheng looked at him coldly: "Is it because she is a woman that father doesn't want her to interfere in the affairs of the palace, or because she is Shangnian's daughter?"
He Yuwen said in a deep voice: "No matter what the reason is, you shouldn't do these things."
"Father, in my heart, she is just my Crown Prince's Consort. She has nothing to do with her other identities. So what if she is Shangnian's daughter? I only know that if it weren't for her, my grandmother, my mother, and all the women in the He family might have died on the way, and my legs might have been crippled. As for you, father, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to sit here and scold me. I believe in her and I believe she won't betray me or the He family."
"Ridiculous!" He Yuwen walked up to him, raised his hand, and after a while, he put it down again: "Forget it."
He sat back in his chair and sighed, "You know, what you entrusted to her is not only your own life, nor the fate of Dingguo Palace, but also the lives and property of thousands of soldiers who depend on the palace. If she betrays you one day, everyone will be doomed. You are betting on the rise and fall of the world, making a huge gamble!"
Shang Ruoyi came to a farm not far away. Since she decided to raise pearl clams, she asked Yunqi to buy this place.
Coincidentally, there is also a hot spring here, which is an unexpected surprise.
At this time, Yunqi was digging the pool with all his might.
Shang Ruoyi stepped forward, and Yunqi hurriedly bowed: "Crown Princess."
"Well done." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "It seems that you are quite strong."
"Princess, I know I was wrong, and I will never talk nonsense again." Yunqi had a bitter face and looked like he was about to cry.
"It is a great honor to admit one's mistakes and correct them. This child is teachable, this child is teachable!" She nodded. Yunqi thought that he would not have to do this hard work anymore. Before he could even smile, he heard her say, "Good job digging. Keep going!"
Shaoyao almost laughed out loud.
Yunqi had no choice but to continue working hard.
Shang Ruoyi came to the pool that had been dug long ago. Water was already in the pool. She put her hand into the water, pretending to test the water temperature, and poured the spiritual spring water in the space into the pool.
The eastern pearl clams kept in the spiritual spring in the space have grown visibly larger.
It turns out that just as she thought, this spiritual spring is of great help to the growth of the Eastern Pearl Oyster.
At night, just as she had expected, dozens of carriages stopped in front of the manor.
Shang Ruoyi walked forward, opened the lids one by one, and put the pearl clams in the space back into the bucket.
"Miss, don't worry. According to your instructions, we haven't opened the lid during this journey."
"Thank you for your hard work." Shang Ruoyi took out a few gold leaves: "It's just a small token of my appreciation. Just treat me, brothers, to tea."
Upon hearing this, the escort in charge of delivering the goods waved his hand and said, "We have been friends with Mr. Li for so many years. We brothers will deliver the goods even if it costs our lives."
The old man of the Li family once helped the escort agency overcome difficulties when they were in trouble. People in the underworld are the most loyal. They should repay a drop of kindness with a spring, not to mention that it was a favor that gave them a new life.
But he was a little curious. Every year, the Li family delivered hundreds of items through their hands, but the old man of the Li family had never given such careful instructions.
He secretly looked at Shang Ruoyi. What was the relationship between this woman and the Li family?
"Your friendship with the old man is one thing, and my situation is another. I will inevitably have to trouble you in the future. This little gift is not very valuable, so please accept it!"
Hearing her sincere words, it would be a bit tactless to refuse again: "Thank you, young lady."
Shang Ruoyi looked at the Dongzhu clams in the pond and concentrated her mind. Her eyes penetrated the clam shells and found that there was a shining dot in each clam shell. That was the Dongzhu.
The black-shelled Eastern Pearl oysters are obviously much better than those with green shells, so why did Manager Lin say that the black Eastern Pearl oysters need to be processed?
She fished out a pearl oyster. The pearl in the shell was already the size of a soybean. She opened the shell and was stunned.
