Chapter 28 Justified
Shen Zhuoxi's lost look was so lifelike that Jing Muling realized something was wrong and glanced at Zhengyang.
Zhengyang was also frightened. He stepped forward and wanted to help Shen Zhuoxi but didn't dare. He asked the old doctor anxiously, "What's going on? It was fine just now. Didn't it go astray?"
The prince originally asked the old man to put on a show, but if he really caused trouble for the second young lady, it would be difficult to end it!
Zhengyang's tone was too harsh, and the old doctor's hands shook even more violently. He still held the silver needle in his hand and said at a loss: "You can't be wrong. I have always been cautious in practicing medicine, so I won't make any mistakes."
"Then what's wrong with the second young lady?" Zhengyang said, glanced at Huizhi and said: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you help the young lady up quickly?"
Even though Eizhi knew Shen Zhuoxi's plan and was standing by, he was also frightened by her reaction.
She wanted to reach out to help her just now, but she had discussed it beforehand. She was worried that her secret would be exposed, so she pretended to be helpless and stood aside without daring to move. After hearing Zhengyang's words, she hurried to help Shen Zhuoxi.
Shen Zhuoxi felt relieved now and stood up with Hui Zhi's hand.
"Miss." Huizhi was quite worried, and continued to say half-truths and half-falsehoods: "Does your head hurt? Are there any other discomforts? Why don't you ask the royal doctor to take a look at it?"
Shen Zhuoxi took a breath and said in a somewhat weak tone: "Huizhi, I'm fine."
Hui Zhi then breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the previously agreed reaction, pretending to be surprised, covering her mouth and saying: "What do you mean, okay?"
"Yes." Shen Zhuoxi's smile was a little bitter: "The old man has superb Chinese medicine skills. After having a splitting headache, his mind became clear."
"That's great, miss." Hui Zhi didn't understand her expression and said, "From now on, you don't have to live with rumors anymore. I'll give you a glass of water and calm down first."
The smile on Shen Zhuoxi's lips was still there and he didn't answer.
The pain just now was real, and it was obviously a reaction from the original owner of this body.
The original person has been completely stupid since he was five years old, and those memories have been dusted away.
Just now, the old doctor's needle pricked the acupuncture point without any bias, which brought to the surface memories that even the original person had forgotten.
She didn't know where the poison in the original body came from, but she was sure of one thing. Princess Xiaoqing's death was caused by someone poisoning her.
The original person saw with his own eyes that the mother-in-law who was serving Princess Xiaoqing added something to the soup.
Even now, she can still feel the extremely sad and resentful feeling in her heart that does not belong to her.
She covered her heart and said silently: Don't worry, I will avenge you and Princess Xiaoqing. This is the beginning of getting better with the outside world.
Jing Muling looked at her for a moment. No one else noticed anything wrong, but he carefully noticed that Shen Zhuoxi was not completely acting.
Some emotions that come from the heart cannot be faked no matter how good your acting skills are.
Could it be that the person in front of me is really Shen Zhuoxi, the second lady of Taishi Mansion?
"Sir, the second lady has recovered." Zhengyang put on a full show, walked to Jing Muling and reported, "Look..."
"Please doctor, please check your pulse again to see if there is anything wrong." Jing Muling recovered her thoughts and said.
The old doctor did not dare to neglect, and carefully felt Shen Zhuoxi's pulse, although his hands were still trembling: "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no abnormality in the second young lady's body."
"Okay, my hard-working doctor, I have made the greatest contribution this time and should be rewarded." Jing Muling's eyes fell to the side with a vacant look, and she ordered: "It is a great joy for the second young lady to recover. Please go to the palace immediately to report to the Queen Mother."
Zhengyang responded and was about to go out when Shen Zhuoxi said hoarsely, "Wait a minute."
Everyone in the room looked at her.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generous action." Shen Zhuoxi's face was still pale, and he looked at Jing Muling and said, "Don't be in a hurry to tell the Queen Mother. When I feel better, I will go to the palace in person to tell the Queen Mother the good news."
"That's fine." Jing Muling knew that she had her own plans and said, "If you want to go anytime, I will go with you."
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, please ask the doctor to treat me. I don't dare to trouble Your Majesty anymore." Shen Zhuoxi declined politely, saying: "I will definitely return the medical fees and favors to Your Majesty in the future."
In the past, it didn't matter if he pretended to be crazy and got closer to King Yu, but getting closer after he recovered would only increase the rumors.
Jing Muling's face turned a little darker.
This woman really plays the role of turning against someone and not recognizing them!
He frowned and said in a lighter tone: "Young lady, there is no need to be polite. In terms of seniority, you should call me uncle. I also take care of you for the sake of your mother."
Shen Zhuoxi was stunned.
What does he mean?
Do you really want her to call her uncle?
She struggled for a long time, but still couldn't cry out, so she changed the subject and said: "The prince's kindness is unforgettable. I dare not slack off because of my motherhood. I have been ill for a long time and am confused and ignorant."
"Now that my mind is clear, I remember that I met a traveling doctor and helped him unintentionally. In return, he gave me some medical books, which contained medical pulse cases for treating eye diseases."
"If the prince doesn't mind it, I will find it when I go back and give it to the prince for reference. I will cure your eyes if I don't keep it intact."
She was just faking it with her eyes open, but when Doctor You said it, it didn't change.
However, it is not impossible if we can use this reason to continue contact in the future.
Jing Muling paused, pretending not to know the flaw in her words, and said, "Okay, I would like to thank the second lady first."
The weather is very good today, with blue sky and white clouds.
After leaving Prince Yu's Mansion, Shen Zhuoxi stood on the steps of the gate and took a deep breath.
From this moment on, she can no longer be tied up by her identity as a fool, and can fight back justifiably!
"Miss, what should we do if we go back?" Hui Zhi followed behind and asked tentatively: "Should we announce that we are cured, or should we continue to act stupid?"
"Don't say it yet, we have to catch him off guard." Shen Zhuoxi smiled coldly.
Returning to the Taishi Mansion, it was unprecedentedly quiet.
Except for a few servants who were in a hurry, no one was seen in the house.
"Weird." Hui Zhi also noticed something was wrong and said curiously, "Although it's hot at noon, it's not like he's hiding everything."
As soon as he finished speaking, an anxious boy rushed out from around the corner.
The boy held the food box in his hand, lowered his head and just rushed forward without looking at the road. He bumped into Shen Zhuoxi's master and servant.
The box fell to the ground, knocking out the soup bowl inside.
Huizhi took Shen Zhuoxi to check, and saw that his clothes were splashed with brown soup. He scolded unhappily: "You don't have a good eye when you are walking. You are in a hurry. What should I do if I bump into the second lady?"
The family never takes the second young lady seriously, and they pretend not to see her when they encounter her. This young boy is an exception.
After kneeling down to apologize to Shen Zhuoxi seriously, he squatted on the ground to pick up the broken porcelain and said anxiously: "Oh, it's gone. What should I do?"
"It's just a bowl of sour plum soup." Hui Zhi smelled the smell and saw that his attitude was okay, so she added: "You go make another bowl, what's the big deal?"
"Girl, I don't know, this is not sour plum soup, but a medicine to relieve heat." The boy raised his head and said with a troubled expression, "The old lady is back. She couldn't stand the heat and felt dizzy and vomited."
"In advance, ask people to hurry up and spread the word. Prepare some anti-summer medicine. After boiling it for half an hour, you only get one bowl. If you spill it, you have to boil it again. The old lady has already arrived. She can't wait. I'm afraid that the grand master and his wife will punish her. A villain."
No wonder I didn't see anyone. They must all be in Old Taijun Jing'an Court.
"No need to boil medicine." Seeing that the boy was about to cry, Shen Zhuoxi said, "I'll go take a look."
