The emperor's uncle is the only favorite: the mysterious doctor's crazy concubine is going
Chapter 260 I feel at ease with you
Chapter 260 I feel at ease with you
The wedding has not been decided yet, so it is too early to call her princess!
Shen Zhuoxi couldn't help but walked forward without squinting.
Huizhi followed behind, full of envy: "Miss, I guess Zhengyang doesn't dare to make independent decisions. He only dares to do so with the prince's order. The prince has already regarded you as the mistress of this palace."
Shen Zhuoxi remained silent and walked faster.
Jing Muling was practicing swordsmanship again, this time, she was sparring with Zhengyang.
The two swords collided with a crisp sound. Jing Muling had already seen the appearance of Shen Zhuoxi's master and servant out of the corner of her eye. She wanted to end it as soon as possible, so the movements of her hands became more and more ruthless.
Although Zhengyang's martial arts is strong, it is still far behind Jing Muling. He can accompany him in a small sparring. If Jing Muling really takes it seriously, he will not be Jing Muling's opponent even with all his strength.
He couldn't catch too many moves and fell to the ground after a few moves.
The tip of the knife was placed on his neck. Zhengyang was sweating profusely and begged for mercy: "Sir, your kung fu is really great. I am ashamed of myself!"
"I haven't practiced for just a few days, and I can't even catch my ten moves." Jing Muling sheathed her sword and said in a serious tone: "If you slack off because you are following me, I don't mind sending you back to continue training! "
"I don't dare to slack off!" Zhengyang got up and knelt down, saying, "Please give me another chance."
"If you give me more, it won't necessarily make you any better. Train well in private. If you can't catch the ten moves next time, you'll have to go back to the drawing board and try again." Jing Muling frowned and stretched out her hand to Zhengqing beside her: "Towel .”
Zhengqing was afraid of being affected, so he hurriedly handed over the towel, pretending to have just discovered Shen Zhuoxi, and said in surprise: "I want to pay my respects to the princess."
Zhengyang also got up and saluted: "I would like to pay my respects to the princess, little man."
Shen Zhuoxi believed now that it was really Jing Muling's instruction.
Otherwise, with Zhengqing and Zhengyang's temperaments, they would not dare to make mistakes in front of Jing Muling.
She still didn't agree. She bowed to Jing Muling according to the rules and said, "Your Majesty, this title is against the rules. Although there is an engagement, there is no wedding."
"If other people know about it, it will start another round of rumors. Both Prince Yu and I have a bad reputation. We should let them change their words."
"What are you afraid of? It will be justifiable in a month." Jing Muling thought of the way Doza looked at Shen Zhuoxi, her eyes darkened, and said, "You should adapt in advance."
"Besides, it's just the people in Prince Yu's palace who call it that, so no one else will know."
"Master, it's hot here, why don't we talk inside first." Zhengqing suggested cautiously, "We are not afraid of the sun, but the second lady can't bear it, her face is red from the heat."
"Yes, go in and talk." Jing Muling put her hand on Zhengqing, worried that Shen Zhuoxi would correct her servant's address to her, so she changed the subject: "After I left that day, Shen Heshan didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Shen Zhuoxi blushed not because of the hot weather, but because of Jing Muling's words.
Fortunately, neither the master nor the servant thought about it. Shen Zhuoxi was also eager to mention it, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "The prince is so proud of me, so the grand master naturally does not dare to embarrass me."
"That's good." Jing Muling nodded and said slowly: "Shen Heshan is a member of the prince's party. You should be more careful at home. They can't do anything to me, so there's no guarantee they won't attack you."
Shen Zhuoxi's steps slowed down a bit: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"It's just a matter in the court." Those turbulent waves in the calm were really disgusting. Jing Muling didn't want to scare her, so she smiled and said, "It's okay not to mention it. I'm also worried that they may not dare to touch you."
Shen Zhuoxi guessed a thing or two and did not continue to ask. He only said: "They can't do anything they try. Your Majesty, your eyes are not healed, so you have to be careful."
There were several ice basins placed in the room. Jing Muling had just finished practicing her sword, and there was still sweat all over her body, so she went into the bedroom to change clothes.
Shen Zhuoxi sat in the front room and waited. After a while, Zhengyang came over with a bowl of sweet soup: "Princess, please try this."
Shen Zhuoxi glanced sideways. It was a sweet soup made from fruits, with a layer of crushed ice floating on top. It looked refreshing and relieved the heat.
"Your prince still likes to drink this?" Shen Zhuoxi took it and said with a smile: "Your prince doesn't seem to like sweets very much."
Zhengyang also laughed and said: "The prince definitely doesn't like to eat, this is specially prepared for you."
Shen Zhuoxi was even more surprised. It was not time to eat yet. The sweet soup should not be left for a long time, otherwise the fruit would easily lose its flavor and the color would turn black over time.
Zhengyang saw her doubts and explained: "The prince knows that you like to eat, so he ordered people to prepare it at any time. No, it will come in handy today."
Shen Zhuoxi fiddled with the fresh fruits in the bowl and said in surprise: "I cook it every day and prepare it at any time. If I don't come, wouldn't it be wasted?"
"Don't worry, it won't be wasted." Zhengyang whispered: "The people in the kitchen are the most skilled. They will solve the problem before it goes bad. How can it really be reduced to the point where it can't be eaten."
"The prince will turn a blind eye to this. As long as they don't interfere with your food, thanks to your blessing, they came in and ate well. I don't know how grateful I am to you in my heart."
"That's good, Your Majesty." Shen Zhuoxi took a sip. It was sweet but not greasy, with a light melon and fruit aroma.
It was ice cold, and eating a bowl of it when it was hot was indeed refreshing. She put down her spoon and said, "It does taste good, but it's really unnecessary. Tell the prince to stop."
"What's unnecessary?" Jing Muling was helped over by Zhengqing and happened to hear this and asked.
"Your Majesty, I was telling Zhengyang about this sweet soup. The weather is hot and fruits are not easy to store." Shen Zhuoxi put the bowl on the table and said, "I don't know when it will come."
"There is no need to prepare anything specially. Drinking herbal tea can also relieve the heat."
"It's okay. The fruits and melons are all brought by others." Jing Muling sat down on the chair next to Shen Zhuoxi and said, "I don't like eating fruits very much. It would be a waste just to leave them alone."
"Make melon and fruit sweet soup, just in time for you to use it. By the way, are the ice cubes sent to you enough?"
"That's enough." Shen Zhuoxi nodded, then remembered the purpose and said, "How have the prince's eyes recovered in the past few days?"
"Well, it's much better than before. I can vaguely see the outline." Jing Muling paused and said, "But it's still not clear."
"Gradual improvement is a good thing." Shen Zhuoxi affirmed: "The potion prepared later will be effective. If this continues, it is expected to be fully recovered before the end of the month!"
Jing Muling nodded and said: "It's best to recover before then. I will definitely go to Lizhou Pharmaceutical Market at the end of the month. It's best to get better by then."
On the day they were riding out of the city, the two of them also talked about going to the Lizhou Medicine Market, and Jing Muling mentioned going there. However, just as they were still discussing, Princess Dunzhu suddenly broke in.
Their conversation stopped abruptly and they didn't talk about it later. Shen Zhuoxi felt that given Jing Muling's situation, he would definitely not go if he just mentioned it casually.
So I was still surprised when I heard him say this: "The prince is really going?"
"Yes." Jing Muling said firmly: "I was plotted against me, and it is inseparable from the people over there. There has not been much progress in the investigation of the matter so far."
"When the medicine market opens, there will be a lot of people going there and it will be chaotic. If I show up in person, those people will most likely be unable to hold on. As long as we can lure people out, it is possible to catch them."
"Using your body as bait?" Shen Zhuoxi asked suspiciously.
Jing Muling was going to the medicine market. Apart from knowing that Shen Zhuoxi was going and wanting to accompany her, what she just said was not a lie.
When he was poisoned, it was found that the poison came from the Valley of the Divine Doctor.
Lizhou Medicine Market and Divine Doctor Valley will definitely send someone to come forward. He really wants to use his body as bait to lure them into action again.
Seeing Jing Muling nodding in affirmation, Shen Zhuoxi frowned slightly and said: "The miracle doctor is a mixed bag. Regardless of whether the prince's eyes have recovered or not, there will be many unknown risks."
"There are countless people over there who know how to use poison. If you're not careful, you'll get caught!"
Jing Muling smiled and turned to Shen Zhuoxi: "What are you afraid of? With you here, I feel at ease."
He rarely smiles or even shows expressions. He is usually cold, either with a posture of keeping away from strangers, or with an expressionless face.
After getting acquainted with Shen Zhuoxi, most of her smiles were given to her, and her emotions became much more lively.
Especially this kind of smile that comes from the heart, as warm as the scorching sun in March, as cool as the breeze and the moon, with a hint of joking.
The two of them were very close, Jing Muling's eyes were calm but as beautiful as glass, and he just looked at her blankly.
Even though she knew he couldn't see now, Shen Zhuoxi's face still turned red unconsciously.
She picked up the tea on the table, took a few sips, and said, "Your Highness, please don't trust me too much."
"You are about to become my princess. If you don't believe me, who do you believe?" Jing Muling stopped teasing her and took a sip of tea.
"It's not just a safety issue." Shen Zhuoxi paused and thought of another possibility: "The prince's sudden departure from Shengdu to go to the medicine market will definitely make people who are secretly unfavorable to you ready to take action."
"If things get serious and I leave Shengdu without authorization, I won't be able to explain it to the emperor."
"At that time, I will claim to be sick and refuse anyone to visit." Jing Muling had already thought of a way and said, "So the gradual recovery of my eyes must be hidden first."
"Even if the Queen Mother asks, she can only say that there is no hope of temporary recovery, and she can't let anyone notice."
Shen Zhuoxi understood and nodded: "I must be tight-lipped and won't reveal anything."
"Yes." Jing Muling said, thinking of something, "You came from the Queen Mother's house today, right?"
"Yes, after visiting the Queen Mother, I took the opportunity to see Princess Dunzhu." Shen Zhuoxi didn't hide anything. He roughly told what happened in the West Palace and said: "Dunzhu hated me to the core, and he probably hates me even more now. Me."
Jing Muling had known about this for a long time. He narrowed his eyes slightly and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "If she dares to attack you again, no matter who she is, I will never let her walk out of Shengdu alive."
"Your Majesty, it's not easy to interfere." Shen Zhuoxi blinked and said playfully: "She is the princess of the Rongqiang tribe. Once you take action, it will inevitably cause disputes. Your Majesty, don't worry, I can still deal with her."
Jing Muling was still worried: "I'm not afraid of disputes. The Qiang people are in a tiny place. Seriously, it only takes a few months to defeat them. Dunzhu is ruthless, so you don't suffer any loss."
Shen Zhuoxi smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, do you think I am the one who is at a disadvantage? When I really feel that it is not possible, Your Majesty will take action again. I have been dealing with her before."
"Okay, but you can't put yourself in danger. If you need manpower, go to Zhengqing." Jing Muling gave some instructions and said: "The extra betrothal gifts have been sent outside the city to help the refugees as you said. "
"However, the boy who delivered the things came back and reported that the weather was hot, with occasional showers. The place where the refugees lived was a ruined temple, not to mention dirty, and many people fell ill."
"Since ancient times, natural disasters and plague have been closely related. I'm worried that the refugees outside the city will cause plague. Do you have any preparations over there?"
Shen Zhuoxi shook his head and said: "There are many kinds of plague. No one knows the symptoms before it breaks out. There is no way to prepare medicine in advance. What we can do now is to report it to the emperor as soon as possible."
Jing Muling shook her head and said: "The emperor has noticed it a long time ago. He has been angry about this matter for several consecutive mornings, blaming Yuzhou for being incompetent, and the officials have not thought of a good way to deal with it."
"After all, there are not many people outside the city. If we put them all in the city, there would be no place to house them. All the money from the imperial court has been spent on the front line in these years, and the treasury is empty. There must be some left, and it is impossible to use it to house them."
Having said this, Shen Zhuoxi suddenly thought of the sky-high price of the betrothal gift list and said: "The prince has made a big bet on me, and the amount of the betrothal gift is huge. I am afraid that the emperor will have plans for Prince Yu's Mansion!"
"If you come forward to use money to resettle the refugees and gain a good reputation, it will only make the emperor and the prince more jealous. It is better not to wait for them to speak and come out with the money in advance."
"Give the money directly to the emperor, and he can do whatever he wants with it!"
Jing Muling quite agreed with her idea and joked: "We have a good understanding and want to go together. I am planning to do that."
"I will just talk about the matters in the court casually." Shen Zhuoxi's face turned red again and said, "Of course it is the prince who makes his own decision."
She was quite helpless that her face kept getting hot, mainly because she couldn't control it!
The pale pink color that appeared on her face was like a peach in March, and the crescent moon was faint, and the corners of Jing Muling's mouth unconsciously rose.
He liked to see her shy smile, which made everyone feel that everything was worth it.
Shen Zhuoxi didn't stay in Prince Yu's Mansion for long, so he went out and wandered to Renxintang.
The beginning of August was hotter than before. It rained from time to time. It was hot and humid, and many people got sick.
There were many people waiting to see a doctor in the front hall of Renxintang, and they were chatting with Jing Muling during the waiting time.
Shen Zhuoxi got off the carriage and before she could even enter, she heard a flurry of discussions coming from inside.
"Miss Shen Er's blessing is truly unique. This is the first time in my life that I have seen the scene of King Yu's appointment."
"Let alone this life, I've probably never seen him in my last life!"
"Someone went specially to see it. A box carrying wedding silk flowers passed through the gate of the Grand Master's Mansion, leaving most of the capital, even at the city gate."
"The princess is not treated like this when she gets married. She has to be the second young lady. She has medical skills just after she recovered, and she has such a husband."
"How many people in the city envy the second young lady, but how many people can become the second young lady?"
"Speaking of which, the boxes and bamboo baskets just for storing things are estimated to cost a lot of money. If we don't need them anymore, we can still pick them up and use them. There is no place to stack them all."
"Speaking of silver, I have a relative who works in the Grand Master's Mansion. According to him, His Highness King Yu is not only a generous person, but also gives a lot of silver and millions of gold."
"So much? Really or not? His Royal Highness King Yu has been fighting all year round. Where did he get so much money?"
"Then we don't know. His Royal Highness King Yu's identity is not something we can guess."
"You don't know, but I have heard some inside stories. It is said that all the money of His Highness King Yu came from enemy countries paying tribute during the war!"
"It's impossible. All the prisoners of war and their belongings must be brought back and handed over to the court. Even if His Highness King Yu is extremely brave, he would not dare to do such a thing!"
"I heard what others said, otherwise where did King Yu get so much money? He relies on His Majesty's rewards and salary every year, so I'm afraid it's not that much. Everyone knows that His Highness King Yu's biological mother left early and left nothing behind! "
