Chapter 10 Testing
Jing Muling is the youngest son of the late emperor. He practiced martial arts at a young age. After his mother died of illness, he joined the army and became a powerful god-killer on the battlefield.
Three months ago, he retreated from the enemy's country and returned from the battlefield, but he was assassinated several times.
He took advantage of his scheme and claimed that he had been blinded by poisoning. He took on the identity of Yu Mu, the master of Yuyi Pavilion, and secretly investigated.
The night he met Shen Zhuoxi, he had already traced it, but he didn't expect that the other party was aware of it. During the fight, the dead man used his body as bait to take the ghost powder.
Ghost Powder is the secret medicine of the Valley of Divine Doctors. It is rumored that there is no cure. He can only try the recipe mentioned by Shen Zhuoxi first while sending people to the Valley of Divine Doctors.
There is no poisonous effect in three hours, which shows that the prescription is effective.
Jing Muling didn't say anything, and Zhengyang continued cautiously: "Sir, you dare to talk too much. It is said that the second young lady became a fool at the age of five."
"How can she detoxify the poison from the Valley of Miracle Doctors? Master Shen used her to set up a trap to lure you on board?"
Jing Muling also thought about this possibility. She suddenly thought that Shen Zhuoxi's thin body bones and the old scars on her wrists were not caused by short-term abuse, and she knew that this possibility was very small.
He frowned slightly, already showing a bit of dissatisfaction: "What's the use of just rumors? Didn't you send someone to investigate?"
"Yes." Zhengyang said with a bitter face, "But what was found is almost the same as the rumors. Princess Xiaoqing died suddenly of a serious illness. Si Tianjian calculated that it was the reincarnation of the second lady, the demon star, who killed her."
"Master Shen, as ordered by the Queen Mother, detained the second young lady in the backyard. She never saw anyone again. Only the old nanny left by Princess Xiaoqing was waiting on her."
"The people in the Grand Master's Mansion treated her badly. She was poorly fed and clothed. She was often beaten and scolded, and she never asked any master to teach her. It stands to reason that she would not be able to contact outsiders, let alone learn medical skills!"
When preparing medicine at Yi Antang, Shen Zhuoxi was very skillful.
And when we got along twice, she didn't look like she was being bullied.
Is there really something fishy inside?
Jing Muling's expression deepened, and after thinking for a long time, she said: "Recently, I will continue to approach her as Yu Mu, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Yes." Zhengyang was about to go down to fetch water and help him change clothes, but then he remembered something and said, "After you go out in the afternoon, the Queen Mother will send someone to ask you to come to the palace tomorrow."
The Queen Mother proclaimed him, just to urge him to get married as soon as possible.
Jing Muling didn't respond, Zhengyang didn't dare to continue, and ran away like a whirlwind.
One night passed, and Shen Zhuoxi's wounds healed significantly. Aunt Ju was amazed when she was washing him, saying that he recovered quickly at a young age.
The morning was uneventful until before lunch, Aunt Hua invited her to go to Bihe Garden alone.
Aunt Ju was worried and wanted to go along, but Aunt Hua refused directly.
He knew that he suspected that Shen Zhuoxi suddenly had something fishy to say, so he was going to test it out alone.
The main house of Bihe Garden.
Yu Qinglian sat with a smile on her face, completely unaffected by the recent death of her confidant, with a table of sumptuous meals in front of her.
Seeing Shen Zhuoxi coming in, he waved to her and said, "Zhuoxi hasn't had lunch yet. Come here quickly. I remembered that you like to eat pretzels, so I specially asked someone to make some."
Shen Zhuoxi didn't say anything, and Yu Qinglian didn't mind, and took a piece of pretzel for her affectionately.
"I won't eat it." Shen Zhuoxi put the pretzel on the table in disgust, picked up the chopsticks to pick up the osmanthus and lotus root cake: "This is delicious."
Before Yu Qinglian could move her chopsticks, she started eating.
Apart from being able to talk, his status is almost the same as before, and his hobbies are also the same.
Yu Qinglian couldn't tell whether she really didn't know or pretended not to know, so she winked at Aunt Hua.
Aunt Hua walked up to Shen Zhuoxi and served her a bowl of soup. She said, "Second Miss, don't just eat cakes. You'll choke easily. The pigeon soup has been simmered all morning. It's rich in fragrance and very delicious."
No matter how strong it is, it can't cover up the medicinal smell that comes out with the fragrance.
Shen Zhuoxi moved the tip of her nose and knew that there was a large amount of laxative inside. This bowl could make her squat in the toilet until she died.
She pretended not to know, picked up the bowl, took a sip, and smiled happily: "Okay."
"If it tastes good, drink more." Aunt Ju filled another bowl and handed it over, saying earnestly: "There's not enough."
Shen Zhuoxi looked at the bowl, then at Yu Qinglian, thought for a moment, handed it over and said, "You, drink too."
"I don't like this." Yu Qinglian shook her head.
Shen Zhuoxi worked hard, not caring what she said, and pretended to pour it into Yu Qinglian's mouth: "It tastes good, you drink it."
She was so strong that Yu Qinglian couldn't get away. Half a bowl of soup spilled on her body while she was trying to push away. Aunt Hua hurriedly helped.
In the chaos, Shen Heshan happened to meet him as he entered the door and said displeasedly: "What a mess!"
After saying that, he saw that Shen Zhuoxi was there, and he was even more unhappy, with his face as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Why did you call her here?"
"Grand Master." As if she had found a savior, Yu Qinglian straightened her clothes, threw herself into his arms aggrievedly, and looked at Nanny Hua.
Mother Hua understood and explained: "Madam said that the second young lady was whipped too hard and she specially made soup to replenish her body. Unexpectedly, the second young lady suddenly went crazy and insisted on feeding it to Madam."
What Shen Heshan is most satisfied with about Yu Qinglian is that she is kind, considerate, and gentle.
"You are just too kind, which makes this fool dare to be disrespectful to you." His tone softened, and when he looked at Shen Zhuoxi, his eyes turned into undisguised disgust: "Go back!"
Shen Zhuoxi held the bowl and ignored him, with a rather innocent look on her face: "It tastes good, I drink it, and she drinks it too."
Shen Heshan didn't know that she could speak yet, but when he suddenly heard it, he looked startled: "You, can speak?"
"I've been able to speak since yesterday morning." Yu Qinglian rushed to say: "The Grand Master has been busy with the New Year's Eve banquet these days, and I didn't have time to tell you the good news."
Shen Heshan's face was not happy, and he hesitated: "Since you can speak, your brain...has also recovered?"
"I don't know yet." Yu Qinglian sighed: "I was planning to report it to the Grand Master and ask an imperial doctor to come and see if she is the direct daughter of Princess Xiaoqing. It would be a good thing if she really recovers."
Shen Heshan looked deeply at Shen Zhuoxi, his eyes moved from the embarrassing scars on her face to the bowl in his hand, and guessed: "You just wanted to say that the soup is delicious. If you drink it, do you want some for the eldest lady?"
Shen Zhuoxi pretended to be afraid, nodded and said nothing.
"Forget it, Zhuo Xi also has good intentions." Yu Qinglian looked at Shen Heshan with a complex expression, and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Eat quickly, it will get cold in a while."
Shen Heshan sat down on the chair, glanced at the soup stains on Yu Qinglian's body, and said, "Summer clothes are thin and uncomfortable, so go change quickly."
The color Yu Qinglian is wearing today is light, and the soup stains are obvious. The rose-red middle coat underneath is really ugly.
Aunt Hua helped her go inside to change clothes, while Shen Heshan and Shen Zhuoxi's father and daughter were left outside.
Shen Zhuoxi learned from Aunt Ju that Shen Heshan was a ninth-grade official when he met Princess Xiaoqing, and the emperor could not even remember his name.
Because Princess Xiaoqing liked him and begged the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, he was transferred to a decent official position. He was gradually given more important positions, and step by step he reached the high position of Grand Master today.
Obviously, the grand master did not remember Princess Xiaoqing's kindness and was disgusted with her legacy: "Stay in your Xiaoxiang Tower from now on and don't come out, you troublemaker."
Shen Zhuoxi's eyes were slightly cold, but the smile on his face was even bigger. As if he didn't understand, he held the soup and handed it over: "It tastes good. You drink it."
Shen Heshan frowned, not knowing what he thought of, but he still took the bowl.
Shen Zhuoxi watched him finish his drink before leaving.
The taste is indeed very good, and it happens to be hot at noon, so Shenheshan is fuller.
