The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 238 Departure from Beiling

"So you betrayed us."

"No, I just said something unimportant."

"Not important?" Shang Ruoyi's tone was already filled with anger: "He Jingheng's leg has recovered, you said it! You drew the topographic map of the mansion for them, right?" She leaned down and said in a deep voice: "This is not important? What else is important?"

Cong Fangzhi lowered her head and said weakly, "You heard it all."

"Now that things have come to this, do you have anything else to say?"

Cong Fangzhi looked at the child in her arms and said, "Sister-in-law, if I make a contribution, can you not drive me away?"

Shang Ruoyi didn't say anything. She hated betrayal the most. No matter who it was, if they betrayed her once, she would never forgive them.

Cong Fangzhi smiled self-deprecatingly. She had saved herself from danger time and time again, and tried her best to save her own life and that of her child, but she betrayed her and the He family.

She kissed the baby in her arms, handed it to Yingyue beside her, got up with difficulty, walked to the bed, tore open the pillow, and found a piece of golden cloth inside.

She handed the cloth to Shang Ruoyi: "This is what my father gave me before I was exiled."

"what is this?"

"The treasure of the royal family of the previous dynasty." Cong Fangzhi whispered, "Long before he was exiled, Dad knew that the Cong family was being targeted by others, just because he accidentally got such a treasure map. As everyone knows, Dad loves to travel. When he was traveling in a mountain stream, it suddenly rained heavily, so he hid in a cave. In the cave, there were some supplies of the royal family of the previous dynasty. It was there that he found such a map. Not long after Dad brought it back, the family was robbed several times. I guess it was because of this. For the sake of safety, Dad gave me the map, thinking that the Dingguo Palace must be the safest place in the whole Tianshun. Who would have thought that he would be exiled."

"Is this the thing you said you were hiding?"

Cong Fangzhi nodded. In fact, she was sober that day and said it on purpose for Shang Ruoyi to hear.

"Sister-in-law, I don't know what the treasure of the previous dynasty is, and I don't ask for your forgiveness. I know that my sins are unforgivable. After I die, please take good care of my children."

Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "When did I ever say that I wanted you to commit suicide?"

Cong Fangzhi was stunned: "Sister-in-law."

"A loving mother's heart can really make people lose their minds. I will forgive you this time. If it happens again, I will definitely kill you." Shang Ruoyi handed her the blueprint: "I don't care about the royal treasures of the previous dynasty."

Cong Fangzhi burst into tears instantly. She ignored the pain from her wound and knelt on the ground: "Sister-in-law, thank you."

Shang Ruoyi turned around and tried to leave, but Cong Fangzhi grabbed her skirt and said, "Sister-in-law, it's safer to keep this treasure map with you."

Seeing her sincere words, Shang Ruoyi took the treasure map.

"Thank you for your help, sister-in-law." Cong Fangzhi took the child, hugged her tightly, and looked at her with tears in her eyes: "I swear on my life that if I do anything to let down the He family and sister-in-law again, I will be punished by heaven and earth, and I will never be reborn."

Shang Ruoyi turned around and left without saying anything more.

This time I have this opportunity because of my newborn baby, but from now on, I will never trust her again.

Shang Ruoyi returned to the yard, and Yuntian told her the situation of Chiyu Villa in detail.

"You mean, Akabane Villa is a rising power in recent years?"

"That's right." Yun Tian thought for a moment and said, "It's almost the same time as the Tianyun Casino appeared."

Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly: "Did you really not do such unscrupulous things in the Dingguo Palace?"

Yuntian blinked and said, “You’ve already said it’s an extremely unscrupulous thing. How could the Dingwang Palace do such a thing?”

Seeing his expression, Shang Ruoyi understood: "You should go back! Don't let the old princess and the others know about this for the time being, so as not to worry. However, send more people to Cong's place."

"Yes." Yuntian smiled and said, "After all, there was no disturbance today. I will ask the guards to keep their mouths shut."

Shang Ruoyi nodded and looked at the night outside: "Now is the right time, I will leave tonight."

Only after she had dealt with the affairs in the mansion could she leave with peace of mind, leaving Yuntian with enough ammunition: "Remember, if there is anyone who is blind, you don't have to show mercy."

"Yes!"

She rode at full speed and finally arrived at Beiling when the sky was bright.

Ah Cheng had been to Beiling before. The properties of the Dingguo Palace were spread all over the world, and there were also several farms in the capital of Beiling.

"Princess, are we going to the manor?"

Shang Ruoyi shook her head: "Just go to the inn."

Their identities must have been clearly investigated by the Li family. If they went to the manor at this time, wouldn't they expose the secret agents that He Jingheng had set up here right under their noses?

"Princess, will the Li family collude with the imperial court to capture us all?"

Shang Ruoyi smiled and asked: "Who is the Li family?"

"Royal Merchant."

"That's right. A royal merchant is a merchant. Merchants pursue profits. Whoever can bring them the greatest benefit is their friend." Shang Ruoyi turned her fingers, and a pearl appeared in her palm.

Ah Cheng's eyelids twitched as he looked at the huge Dongzhu.

A few years ago, he followed the prince into the palace and had the honor of seeing the treasure that Beiling presented to Emperor Tianshun, which was a Dongzhu of this size.

Where did the Crown Prince's Consort come from?

Some time ago, the emperor's private treasury was robbed and all the treasures disappeared overnight. Now the Dongzhu is in the hands of the Crown Princess, so the other treasures must have been taken away by her as well.

He seemed to know an important secret.

After receiving the visiting card, the head of the Li family showed joy.

"Quan'er, you must entertain Madam Shang well this time."

"Yes, son, I know." Li Quan hesitated for a moment: "But what about my sister?"

The head of the Li family waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I will go and tell her that a girl cannot interfere in family affairs. Just say that she is ill and cannot see guests. Besides, she will be married in half a year. She should stay in the mansion and wait for her wedding." He looked at Li Quan and asked, "Has your mother sent anyone to visit her these days?"

"I sent them, but they were all kicked out by her, saying that she was just a concubine and had no right to manage the affairs of her courtyard." Li Quan looked at his father's face and continued, "Dad, the position of the mistress in the mansion has been vacant for many years, it's time to promote mother to a co-wife. Only in this way can I be a stable young master!"

At this moment, a voice shouted from the door: "You're dreaming!" Li Xia Xia pushed the door open and glared at Li Quan and said: "You and your mother should just give up on the position of the Li family's mistress! As long as I'm alive, she can never dream of becoming the Li family's mistress!"
