Song Lianzhou put the pulse case back and pondered for a moment.
"The Imperial Physician Zhang is His Majesty's Royal Physician, but he was the one who checked the Queen's pulse in the past?"
"Yes, sir. Everyone in the palace said that it was because the emperor and the empress were deeply in love with each other and the emperor valued the empress that he asked the imperial doctor Zhang to perform routine Ping'an pulse on the empress."
Song Lianzhou clutched the pulse case in his hand and thought again: "Is it that simple?"
"What do you mean, young master?"
"If the Queen's illness really had other causes but was concealed, Doctor Zhang would be the first to be blamed. If you want to know something, I would arrest Doctor Zhang and torture him for questioning. If this is true, wouldn't it be too revealing?"
"That's what the young master said."
"Keep watching, especially in the Queen's Palace. If there is any abnormality, we must always reveal the news."
"My subordinate understands."
Wei Hong clasped his fists and bowed. When he turned to leave, he was stopped again.
"Is there any news about the people sent to Yanzhou?" Song Lianzhou asked.
Wei Hong lowered his head and couldn't help but secretly curl his lips, "Sir, it's only been a few days, and it would take more than ten days to reach Yanzhou at the fastest."
"I know." Song Lianzhou gripped the roll of paper in his hand tighter and asked, "How is it at the Marquis Ning Cheng's Mansion?"
"Go back to the young master, the Ningcheng Marquis Mansion is like an iron barrel."
"Marquis Ning Cheng has sent more people..." Song Lianzhou said halfway, then raised his eyelids and said with interest: "Are you talking about Shen Zhixi's people?"
"Yes, Master, didn't you say that we would send our people to take care of Shi Xingyuan personally in the future? Once the marriage was moved out, and the head guard Yang Qing was injured, Marquis Ningcheng could not find any reason to object. However, , Miss Shen’s people are really extraordinary, they can easily pass through the eyes of the guards of the Hou Mansion and enter Shi Xingyuan, if our people hadn’t been keeping close, we wouldn’t have been able to detect them.”
"Have you done anything?"
"No, that's not Miss Shen's person. If you use your hands, you will alert the guards of the Hou Mansion. I'm afraid that Miss Shen will be angry if she finds out. If Miss Shen is angry, the young master will feel uncomfortable. They know that the young master loves and protects Miss Shen." , so I didn’t dare to take action.”
"Love and care?" Song Lianzhou stood in the courtyard and looked back at the closed door of the main house, "Can she deserve my love and care?"
When Wei Hong heard this, his face was full of doubts.
When he went to the military camp in the morning, and when he came back in the afternoon, his son was fine and in a good mood.
Why is he speaking in such a tone, as if he suddenly doesn't want to see Shen Zhixi anymore.
"Then go down and tell the people who asked us to evacuate, so you don't have to take care of her anymore?"
Hearing this, Song Lianzhou's complexion turned darker and darker.
"Remove the people to give her a chance to escape? If you don't pay back all the debts you have owed over the years, it will be so easy to escape."
"Then...what does that young master want?"
"Prepare the carriage!"
"Okay, my subordinate will go right away."
Wei Hong turned around and scurried away quickly. He only said that his young master was moody and increasingly unstable. It was all because of Shen Zhixi. His young master was originally a very gentle person. Who could bear the pain of love? Who is unlucky.
About half an hour later, after the sky darkened, Song Lianzhou ordered Wei Hong to send Shen Zhixi back to the Hou Mansion.
"Master, won't you go and deliver it yourself?"
"No need."
"Yes, it seems that the young master values her a lot, so that if she becomes proud again, she will..."
Wei Hong didn't say anything else.
Because Song Lianzhou looked at him as if he wanted to eat him.
He hurriedly bowed his head and stepped back, wondering why his young master had changed his attitude again. Wasn't he quite angry with Shen Zhixi before, but now he didn't want others to say bad things about her?
When he came out of his uncle's house, Shen Zhixi had already packed up.
Xiaoyue had already untied the rope and was waiting outside with an expressionless face. When she saw Shen Zhixi coming out, she didn't say a word, and she didn't think about being close to serve her anymore. She followed the carriage obediently and returned to Houzhou. Mansion.
When I arrived at Shixingyuan, I prayed that I was already drinking tea in the house.
Seeing her entering the room, Qi Wu put down his tea cup and was about to speak, but Shen Zhixi spoke before him.
"Go get me some repellent medicine as soon as possible, no, go now."
Praying opened his mouth and blinked his beautiful fox eyes. His fiery red clothes reflected the excitement and enthusiasm in his heart at this time.
"Are you with...Uncle Heguo?"
Shen Zhixi glanced at him coldly, and then he suppressed the smile on his face, but still couldn't hide his curiosity and asked: "If, I mean if, if I hadn't delivered that news to you in the morning, would you still want to eat it now?" What kind of repellent medicine?"
"What do you think?" Shen Zhixi asked him.
"Don't be angry. The news is bad, but it's not my fault as the messenger. Besides, the news was given by King Hui. King Hui probably didn't expect that you are actually Xie Muyun's daughter."
"Yes, now we are really tied to the same boat as King Hui."
"Who says otherwise? The person behind the Xie family is actually the emperor and has a lot of connections. If you fight against the Xie family, it is equivalent to fighting against the emperor. Even if you have a conflict with the Xie family, the Xie family will not let you go. There will definitely be someone If you fight, those who cannot protect the emperor will take action. Even if you return to Yanzhou safely, you may not have a good life. Therefore, only if King Hui wins can we win."
Shen Zhixi lowered his eyes and said nothing again after a long time.
"Of course everyone is happy if King Hui wins, but what if he loses? By then Song Lianzhou will have a wife who colludes with King Ni, will he be able to escape? The Song family supported the emperor's rise...can they still help King Hui? What if? If I help, it’s easy to win. If he loses, he will be a treacherous minister and a traitor. The general’s palace, a loyal minister, will be stained because of me. How can I..."
She sighed, her hands shaking slightly.
"How could I let him fall into such a situation and have him be reviled by the world... He is so good..."
I prayed that I couldn't answer anymore, so I touched my nose and picked up the teacup again.
"Stop talking, go and get me some repellent medicine."
"Hey." Qi wish took a sip and stood up to leave. Before leaving, he couldn't help but want to say something else, but the only words left on his lips were, "Okay, I'll get some repellent medicine."
After he left, Shen Zhixi sat alone at the table for a long time.
Wan Ying was in Fang Rou's room, fell asleep while playing and rested there.
After dinner and bathing, Shen Zhixi was about to take Wan Ying back to prevent her from crying if Wan Ying woke up at night and didn't see her.
Just as he was about to go out, a man in black came in carrying a maid with a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth and her hands tied.
Look carefully, it's Xiaoyue.
The man in black raised his foot and kicked Xiaoyue to her knees. Then he bowed his head to Shen Zhixi and said, "Master, this girl was sneakily carrying a linen bag in the corner behind your house and was discovered by us. It turns out that this linen bag There was a venomous snake in the bag, and she wanted to release it to harm her master."
As he spoke, the man in black shook the sack in his hand, and could still vaguely hear the screams inside.
Xiaoyue's eyes were red and she stared at Shen Zhixi with tears in her eyes. She was still full of resentment after being caught.
"Isn't it the snake that Xie Muyun sent you to release?" Shen Zhixi asked her.
Xie Muyun still wants her blood. He will never kill her, let alone release a venomous snake. The poison in the blood will do him no good.
"The fact that you followed the carriage today has been seen all over the street, and other people in the Hou Mansion must have heard about it. For example, Zhuang Yulan or Xie Jing'an, who instigated you?"
Xiaoyue stared at her, still resentful.
"I forgot, you can't speak with something stuffed in your mouth, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether you say it or not. You are Xie Muyun's person, and you should obey his orders, but you went beyond him and made your own decisions. If something like this happens, he won’t spare you.”
"Originally, it wasn't a big deal, but since you want my life, I have no choice but to be polite to you."
Shen Zhixi waved his hand, and the man in black immediately untied the sack.
He carefully pinched the viper's head and held it towards Xiaoyue.
