Chang Anqing

Chapter 28 Unexpected
The girl in front of her stepped into the door dressed in Chinese clothes, and stood there gracefully, with a relaxed tone as if they were just a chance encounter today, and there was a smile in those bright eyes, but Sun Zhong was clearly able to learn from it. Seeing the coldness and alertness that makes people retreat.

"County, county master—"

Seeing Sun Zhong trembling and shaking hands in despair, Li Sui's lips were slightly cold, but she still passed him freely, only to hear that the door was closed again, and she had already sat on the low couch in the room, with great interest. Looking at the person in front of him, he lightly brushed the tail of his skirt with his fingertips, and said reminiscently: "I don't feel anything when I see the Imperial Physician Ling in the palace these days. Why is the Imperial Physician Ling outside the palace today? Don't want to see me anymore?"

Speaking of this, Li Sui smiled, his drooping eyelids were raised lazily, and there was an intriguing arc in his eyes, and he said unhurriedly: "Now I don't know that our Great Zhou treasury has been abundant so far, and the etheric doctor Ling's salary has been able to easily spend dozens of taels of silver to buy a few catties of Tianzhu tea, but I don't know the incredible effect of this tea, and I asked the imperial physician Ling to tell me."

When he said the last few words, Li Sui deliberately slowed down and bit his teeth hard. Sun Zhong became more and more trembling as he listened to it. When he turned around like a frightened bird, and happened to meet the eyes of the girl in the seat above, he suddenly realized that there was nothing in front of him. At this moment, the 16-year-old princess was resting her right hand on the pillow, and with her left hand, she was playing with the silver collars he had traded. With a smile like a spring breeze, what she shot at him was a deep and incomprehensible gaze.

"The county master—"

Almost at the same time, poor Sun Zhong couldn't bear the fright any longer. His legs were soft and he couldn't help kneeling straight down. His words were filled with uncontrollable panic and choking.

Hearing the sound of "ding dang--", Li Sui threw the silver collars in his hands back into the box like a toss, slowly got up with Yu Nu's help, and walked towards Sun Zhong step by step.

"The Imperial Physician is an old man in the palace. You should know the proportions in the palace. Now that I can invite you here in such a grand manner, you should naturally understand what I want to know, and what should you answer me."

Speaking of this, Li Sui leaned down slightly, and the invisible pressure was like a heavy mountain, pressing down on Sun Zhong's back little by little. I saw him trying to control his trembling body, bowing his head and not daring to meet him. On Li Sui's deep and solemn gaze.

"Weichen, Weichen doesn't understand the meaning of the county master."

Noticing that Sun Zhong's back was soaked, and a mottled blot appeared, Li Sui's eyes darkened, and he seemed to gently support Sun Zhong's arm when he reached out, but Sun Zhong had to look directly at himself. Said: "It seems that the imperial doctor's order is not willing to tell me bluntly."

After saying that, Li Sui let go of Sun Zhong's trembling arm, and then returned to the seat to gossip and look at the people in the seat: "Master Sun learned from the imperial physician Ling Hu Yuan of the previous dynasty, when Hu Yuan was so talented, he was involved in the battle between the two palaces and fell apart. At this point, Master Sun is out of blue and dares to murder the Queen of the Middle Palace, which is not good for the future prince, Master Sun might as well think about it, how much can you bear the crime of punishing the Nine Clan?"

"county--"

Before Sun Zhong could call out, he heard a "bang-dang--", and saw Li Sui angrily flicking a box of silver collars on the ground, and the silver collars slammed down and bounced again. The edge of Sun Zhong's clothes was like a hot potato, causing him to avoid him like a frightened bird.

"Doctor Sun, if you are still obsessed today, your supervisor outside the door will naturally answer everything for you. When I get to the front of the palace, I will only hand over the purchase details of the people in your palace, and then I will give you the medicine dregs kept in the Lizheng Hall. Given the comparison, do you think you can delay one or two?"

The girl's loud words slammed into Sun Zhong's heart like a blow to the head. When he met Li Sui's sharp-edged eyes, he couldn't hold it any longer. He shook his head and slammed his head on the ground, almost crying, "I beg the county master for mercy. , I beg your pardon—"

Seeing that the person in front of him had loosened a bit under extreme fear, Li Sui slightly raised his jaw, Nian Nu and Yu Nu knowingly stepped forward to help Sun Zhong's limp body, and when the person was brought closer, Li Suishi changed his tone into a soft tone. , he lowered his voice to the person in front of him and said slowly: "It's not too late now, if Imperial Physician Sun is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light from now on, I can press this matter down, so as to avoid a slaughter, It can also be regarded as accumulating virtue and blessings for the child in His Highness’ belly.”

Sensing that Sun Zhong was suddenly peeling off a ray of light in the darkness, and there was a glimmer of unbelievable expectation in his eyes, Li Sui slowly uttered the last words word by word: "Master Sun, you are going up and down the door, killing more than a hundred people. Now it's in your hands—"

When the words were finished, Sun Zhong's back suddenly stiffened. After a long time, he finally made a decision. In front of Li Sui, he gave a heavy salute and said with tears: "The guilty minister used to be confused, I beg the county master to save the lives of our people, sin The minister will never give up—"

Looking at the old man kneeling at his feet and burying his head deeply on the floor tiles, Li Sui gently straightened his body and said, "Then ask the imperial physician to tell me first, who is standing behind you. who?"

Sun Zhong was not surprised when he heard this question, but this question still made him stagnate for a long time. Above, he has already fallen into the ice cave by mistake. If he does not catch the rope handed over by the Yongning County Lord, he is doomed.

I don't know how long it took, the long house was quiet and I could hear the sound of crickets crawling through the grass at the corner of the house. Sun Zhong, who was kneeling there, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he used all his strength to spit out three words: "It's Your Majesty."

Hearing the answer, Li Sui raised her eyes in shock, only to feel a chill on her back. She had thought about it countless times, but she never thought about it. Now this answer was within her expectations and beyond her expectations.

Surprisingly, she was more suspicious of Yang Chongyuan. In her eyes, she was even more reluctant to believe that the person who killed her mother and son was the gentle and indecisive Yuan Chengdi in the eyes of the world, and that person was the one who gave her this life in the eyes of the world. Happy and lucky husband.

But Li Sui also understood that in the eyes of Emperor Yuancheng, A-jie was carrying not only his child, but also the Yang family's child. I'm afraid that from the moment he learned the news, he would feel like he was sitting on a needle.

He was afraid, afraid that if Yang Chongyuan got the blood of the Yang family, he would kill him, the puppet emperor, without any hesitation, and set up a more easily controlled grandson as the emperor.And he is even more afraid. He is afraid that in a hundred years, this emperor with the blood of the Yang family will only make the Yang family more powerful. Until one day, he will be completely kicked off the throne and destroy the country of his Chen family. At that time, he will become sinners who lost their ancestral inheritance.

"Captain, do you know?"

In the silence, Li Sui sat there silently, without any confusion, only one hand clasped the couch tightly, trying to suppress the almost rampant emotions in his heart that were about to rush out at any time.

Hearing this sudden question, Sun Zhong seemed to have made the final preparations. He didn't hesitate at this moment, only to see him slowly straighten up, closing his eyes as if exhausted, and then said with difficulty: "The captain knows everything. —"

At the moment when he finished speaking, Sun Zhong felt all the pressure from these days, the pressure that had been deposited layer by layer, which almost overwhelmed him, as if a layer of gauze was lightly pulled away, and now everything is frank. Clean, he no longer has to worry about nightmares, and everything has to be faced.

But don't know the road ahead?
In the silence, Li Sui sneered, while Yu Nu and Nian Nu, who were already startled and sweaty, looked at their master worriedly. Thinking of Empress Yang, who was pregnant with Liu Jia in the palace, a bit of grief filled their hearts. Out loud: "The county master—"

At this moment, Li Sui doesn't know why, but it seems that she has no other emotions than laughing at her.

She laughed at Yuan Chengdi's naivety, thinking that if she killed her own child, she would be able to get a short sleep, but she didn't know that this would only push herself to death faster.

She laughed at Yang Chongyuan's ruthless heart. For him, his blood-connected daughter and grandson couldn't compare to the cold emperor's throne. What kind of relatives and what kind of clansmen was a joke after all.

And what she wanted to laugh at most was the gentleness and purity of her sister, how could she regard a man as ruthless and unscrupulous as Emperor Yuan Cheng as her beloved.

This is a century-old family, this is the splendid family of heaven. When others see them, they can only see the luxurious life piled up with gold and jade, but no one knows that once the splendid clothes are opened, the bottom will be eaten by worms and ants. Mottled and decadent, ugly and disgusting.

In the previous life, she planned for her whole life for the family, but was forced by the clan to fall from the tower, with no bones left; and her elder sister, such a beautiful person, had to face the child's early death, her husband's betrayal, and her father's indifference. Cold facts.

In the eyes of the clansmen, these women were never the only choice, because to them, they were just duckweeds being pushed by the family, and a chess piece that could be discarded at any time.

That being the case, why should she be the guardian of this noble family?
Thinking of this, Li Sui's fingernails clapped tightly in the palm of her hand. The faint pain made her more awake, and her heart became more and more hard. In the past life, she could break the unattainable wall of the aristocratic family. Completely shatter it, and let those noble families who are condescending and whose eyes are higher than the top take a look, whose world is this world!
