Chapter 212 Warning
Shen Wanwan was halfway through her words, with a look of embarrassment on her face. It was obvious that what she was about to say was not a good thing.
Shen Zhuoxi knew well that it must be related to Jing Muling. Before she could say anything, Shen Qingqing rushed to say: "We are all sisters. Do you need to hide what sister Wan has to say?"
"Second sister definitely won't care about it, right?"
Shen Zhuoxi smiled and followed her words: "Yes, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Then I told you not to be angry. His Highness King Yu is good to the second sister, and we sisters will naturally be happy for you." Shen Wanwan bit her lips and said, "But at the banquet today, I heard people around me mention something Mouth."
"They all said that His Highness King Yu suddenly wanted to get engaged to his second sister because the Rongqiang people wanted to trick His Highness King Yu into seducing him. His Highness King Yu was unwilling, so he used his second sister as a shield."
"I can't wait to ask the emperor to make an engagement. Even if it's not the second sister, it will be another woman, so..."
Therefore, His Highness King Yu has other agendas and there is no need to be so proud.
Shen Wanwan only dared to keep the latter sentence in her heart and did not dare to say it out at all.
Shen Zhuoxi was not surprised. Jing Muling had already told her about this in advance.
She smiled even more and said: "They are all rumors. It is difficult to tell the truth from the false. People at the banquet are so talkative. They say everything. Don't just believe whatever they say."
Shen Wanwan had expected Shen Zhuoxi's reaction after knowing this, which would be sad, sad, surprised, unexpected, or embarrassed or angry.
I never thought that Shen Zhuoxi would be so calm and calm, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
She didn't know if Shen Zhuoxi was pretending to be strong, or if he really didn't care. She carefully probed: "It's so unpleasant, aren't you angry?"
"What's there to be angry about? Gossip is much worse than this. If I really had to argue with each other, I would have been mad to death." Shen Zhuoxi said meaningfully.
"You sisters have not been in Shengdu for many years. Don't completely believe what you hear from the outside. Who knows whether it is true or false?"
Shen Wanwan heard that there seemed to be something else in her words, and quickly said with a smile: "Second sister is right, you blame me for talking too much."
"Sister Wan is also kind-hearted." Shen Qingqing was confused, but she didn't understand the edge of their words. She smiled and said something else: "Princess Dunzhu looks very powerful today."
"I don't know which young master she will eventually fall in love with, or the prince."
"Everything has just begun, who knows?" Shen Wanwan avoided Shen Zhuoxi's eyes and echoed Shen Qingqing: "Speaking of which, the Rongqiang people are not bad in appearance."
"The Crown Prince Duo Zha has a handsome appearance and a perfect conduct in life. He is the ultimate prize."
Shen Qingqing immediately became interested and told Shen Wanwan to go get more pricks.
Shen Zhuoxi had a slight smile on her face, and her eyes became deeper and deeper as she listened to the two of them smiling.
Back at the Grand Master's Mansion, Shen Heshan's attitude towards Shen Zhuoxi was rare. He didn't say any unpleasant words and just told her to rest early.
Seeing Shen Heshan walking away, Shen Xinjiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked to Shen Zhuoxi, and whispered: "Thanks to you for saving the siege today, otherwise..."
"Princess Dunzhu came here for the first time, and her purpose is to find a son-in-law in Dongchen. She must have shown her true ability." Shen Zhuoxi comforted her: "It's not a big deal."
"It's my fault." Shen Xinjiao thought of the suffocating scene at the banquet and felt ashamed to see anyone: "I was too hasty."
Shen Zhuoxi could roughly guess what Shen Xinjiao was thinking. After a pause, she reminded him: "You should know why Shen Xinyu made the prince angry."
"If you want to be someone close to the prince, your literary talent and character are important, but more importantly, you must be calm. You were indeed careless today."
Shen Xinjiao didn't expect Shen Zhuoxi to point out her thoughts so bluntly, her face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head and said, "Thank you, second sister, for reminding me, I..."
"It's very late. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Shen Zhuoxi was not ready to say more, so she interrupted her and said, "Go back and wash up and rest early."
July is a hot month, and the weather is a bit hotter than in June. It hasn’t rained for several days. After the western sun has passed, there is still a heat wave in the house until the evening.
Shen Zhuoxi was holding a piece of ice jade, still tossing and turning, so he simply got up and sat by the window sill to enjoy the breeze, thinking about what Yu Qinglian had said earlier.
"Miss." Seeing that the lights in her room had not been turned off, Hui Zhi brought iced melon and fruit soup to her: "Is it too hot?"
"There is such a reason." Shen Zhuoxi took the cold bowl, took a sip, and said, "Why didn't you sleep?"
"Look at the lights in your room." Hui Zhi stood on the other side of the table and said, "I guess you must feel the heat, so I'll let the melon and fruit tea iced by the kitchen in the afternoon keep you cool."
"You are interested." Shen Zhuoxi pointed to the chair opposite and said, "There is no one else here, sit down and talk."
"I don't dare." Hui Zhi quickly waved her hand and said, "I just need to stand."
"Okay, I'll let you sit down." Shen Zhuoxi took another taste of the sweet soup and asked her, "Is there any news about Yu Mu recently?"
"Ah?" Hui Zhi didn't expect that she would ask Yu Mu. She paused and said, "As early as when I followed you, I stopped receiving news from him. I don't know."
"That's all, there is something I want him to inquire about." Shen Zhuoxi recovered her thoughts and said, "Send a trustworthy person to Lizhou to inquire about the recent news about the Valley of Divine Doctors."
"Do you want to know the origin of the medicines in the eldest lady's hands?" Hui Zhi asked as he was smart and thought of something at once.
Shen Zhuoxi nodded and said: "As far as I know, the poison in the Valley of Divine Doctors does not come out easily. Since the eldest lady can get it, it means there is a problem in the Valley of Divine Doctors."
"In addition, I also want to inquire about a person named Bai Shixiao."
Huizhi hesitated to speak, moved her mouth, and finally made up her mind, saying: "Miss, the Miracle Doctor Valley has never been connected to the outside world. There are restrictions on the number of people who can seek medical treatment every year."
"You asked about the origin of the medicine. You know that it was the eldest lady who got it. Why do you still ask about the Valley of Divine Doctors? The Valley of Divine Doctors is not easy to mess with."
"The rules of the Valley of Divine Doctors are broken." Shen Zhuoxi stirred the fruits in the bowl and said, "A lot of medicine leaked out. I want to know what happened."
Huizhi still feels strange that Shen Zhuoxi is not a nosy person.
She didn't dare to ask, so she could only respond: "Yes, I will send someone to do it tomorrow."
This night, Shen Zhuoxi rarely slept well, and his dreams were all about the scene of falling off the cliff.
Who was the person who pushed her? Could it be the same person who released the medicine from Miracle Medical Valley?
Ten years have passed, will that person have completely mastered the Valley of Miracle Doctors?
What is the current situation in the Valley of Miracle Doctors?
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy Shen Zhuoxi became.
The next day, Shen Zhuoxi woke up not too early, with a faint greenish look under his eyes, sitting in front of the dressing table and yawning uncontrollably.
"Miss, was it too hot last night and you didn't sleep well?" Dragonfly asked worriedly: "I'll ask my house for more ice basins today."
"The ice in my house is limited, how can I provide it here?" Shen Zhuoxi rubbed his temples and said, "Forget it, it's still hot for half a month, and the weather will gradually cool down."
Just as they were talking, Aunt Ju suddenly came in and said, "Miss, hurry up and dress up. The prince is here."
