Ningchenghou Mansion.
Shen Zhixi had already brought Wan Ying back to his room. Wan Ying fell into a deep sleep and did not wake up when he brought her back.
"Have you eaten yet?" Fang Rou asked Shen Zhixi.
There was dinner on the table, but Shen Zhixi put down his chopsticks before taking a few bites.
"Axi, you have to pay attention to your body."
"I know, I'm just not too hungry to eat. Let's ask someone to evacuate first."
"Okay then." Fang Rou turned around and was about to go out to call someone. She quickly put her foot back before stepping out, "Axi, Xie Muyun is here."
"Come on, I'll be waiting."
Shen Zhixi's face was calm and he had expected Xie Muyun to come.
Without saying a few words, Xie Muyun strode to the front steps of the house. He glanced around the house and finally landed on Fang Rou, signaling for her to go out. Fang Rou didn't look at him, only waiting for Shen Zhixi to nod to her. , and then she went out.
Xie Muyun approached slowly and sat down at the table opposite Shen Zhixi.
"Is the rice not to your liking? You don't even use your chopsticks."
There was a smile in his eyes, but his caring tone made people feel physically and mentally uncomfortable.
Shen Zhixi didn't agree with him, and just said: "There are only two of us now, just talk about business, why bother to perform this extravagance."
Xie Muyun laughed twice, took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
"Have you suffered a lot of grievances today?" he asked.
Then, he stared at Shen Zhixi again with hidden meaning in his smiling eyes, and said, "I heard that Song Lianzhou didn't even send you back personally, he only asked the people below to send you back."
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Xie Muyun laughed again, holding the medicine bottle in his hand and continued: "Actually, it is understandable. Any man can't bear the shame and humiliation. It is normal for him to torture you and take revenge on you. On the surface, it is The actual purpose of marrying you is to humiliate you. Over time, you will become the laughing stock of the entire Yuejing City and even the whole world. We are all men, and I know what he is going to do."
"It turns out that the Marquis came here to see a joke."
"Of course not, I just want to tell you the stakes involved."
Xie Muyun held the medicine bottle tighter, and his eyes became serious, as if he was really analyzing the situation for Shen Zhixi and thinking about her.
"The child-avoiding medicine you asked someone to buy has been destroyed by Song Lianzhou, and he wants you to keep the child because he doesn't really want to have children with you. You should also know this. You have made him a shame, How could he really want a scoundrel born with you? He wants to make you and even your children a shame. He wants to completely destroy you."
Shen Zhixi looked back at him and cooperated with him with a stiff expression.
"I know you have some manpower. After all, you are the richest man in Yanzhou. There is no way you have no one to protect you. But after all, this is Yuejing City, not your Yanzhou. A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Besides, behind him is the general's palace and the queen. How do you fight them?" Even if he knew Wan Ying was his child in the future, it was true that you abandoned him and hurt him. After so many years, how could he let go of his hatred. "
"So?" Shen Zhixi waited for him to continue.
"So, only if we work together can we protect you from humiliation. At least I only want your blood and not your life. When the disease is cured, you can choose to stay in the Hou Mansion or return to Yanzhou. At least I will not be reduced to a place where thousands of people spurn me and tens of thousands of people laugh at me.”
Join forces.
Shen Zhixi hid his edge and did not respond. What kind of alliance? Xie Muyun just wanted to use her hand to get rid of Song Lianzhou, so that he would not have to take responsibility. After all, Song Lianzhou was the queen's biological brother and the only son of the general's palace. Something went wrong. He, Marquis Ningcheng, could not get any advantage.
"You are just afraid that if I marry into the uncle's palace, you will not be able to take my blood. If Song Lianzhou discovers the secret of your blood collection again, the reputation of your Ningcheng Hou Mansion will be in jeopardy."
Shen Zhixi didn't respond, and Xie Muyun wasn't in a hurry. He just asked, "But doesn't what I said make sense?"
Seeing that she seemed unable to make a choice, Xie Muyun smiled at her.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. This is just the beginning. You will eventually understand that taking blood is just a little pain on your body, but his torture to you will cause you to have a mental breakdown and physical and mental collapse."
He stood up and pushed the medicine bottle forward.
"This is a child-avoiding medicine. If you think about it, tell me."
Shen Zhixi was in a trance looking at the bottle of medicine, and didn't even notice when Xie Muyun left.
In fact, she had guessed that Xie Muyun would deal with Song Lianzhou after the imperial edict granting marriage was issued. If Song Lianzhou was not solved, how could he safely take her blood to refine his medicine.
He wanted to kill Song Lianzhou, but...
"Only I can bully him, only I can bully Tang Zhou."
Others can't.
When Fang Rou came back, she saw that she had already held the bottle of medicine in her hand.
"Axi, what is this? Is it left by Xie Muyun?"
"Yes." Shen Zhixi nodded and said calmly: "It's a child-avoiding medicine."
Fang Rou choked and couldn't help but asked again: "Then do you want to eat?"
"Of course not."
Hearing what she said, Fang Rou smiled and said, "You are still..."
"I don't take it because this medicine was given by Xie Muyun. How can I take it with peace of mind? I will have to take it again later."
Fang Rou suddenly stiffened her smile again, and said nonchalantly: "But haven't you and Uncle Song Guo both reached a consensus? You..."
"That's another thing." Shen Zhixi relaxed his hand and put down the medicine bottle in his hand.
After struggling internally, he spoke again.
"I have been raising King Hui's private soldiers all these years. Without me, how would he have the strength to dominate? He and I are like grasshoppers on the same rope. We have been tied to him since we were mothers. No. I can sort it out if I want to. No matter whether he wins or loses, Song Lianzhou is in a dilemma. If King Hui wins, how will his sister deal with herself as a country? If King Hui loses, I, as a collusion rebel, The king's accomplices...but no matter what, only if King Hui wins, the final situation can be controlled by himself."
She paused, feeling weak and looking bad.
"These are all far-fetched. Anyway, I can't conceive a child. The current situation is so dangerous. If something happens and hurts the child in my belly, one night is enough... I won't talk about it."
Shen Zhixi stood up and felt a headache.
"Don't worry yet. Can't we deal with Xie Muyun if we gather the three forces? We'll talk about other things later. And you have to take good care of yourself. Uncle Song Guo is really... I'll call Yuanyang to give it to you. Prepare hot water for a bath, and have a good rest after washing."
Shen Zhixi nodded and sat down in front of the bed.
Wan Ying slept soundly, her little face was pink, and she looked most comfortable with her face removed.
She touched Wanying's face, leaned over and kissed it.
Looking at her, he unconsciously recalled those hours in the flower room during the day. In the first half, he was tortured by Song Lianzhou, and in the second half...
From time to time, Fang Rou came back and said that the hot water for bathing was ready.
Shen Zhixi agreed and took his clothes to the bathroom. When he came back, he went to bed exhausted.
Today, I am really tired, both my body and mind are consuming energy.
Soon he fell asleep in a daze.
Not long after she fell asleep, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in the night calling her.
"lady."
