Eunuch's Declaration of Loyalty

Chapter 40

Except when Liu Qingtang was ill, the head of the Imperial Hospital came to diagnose and treat her. At other times, Yang Sushu would come to take her pulse every two months.But this time, when she came to ask for Liu Qingtang's peace pulse as usual, Yang Sushu's eyes were bruised and sluggish, which was very different from her usual gentle son, which made Liu Qingtang very curious.

After feeling her pulse and prescribing some prescriptions for clearing the fire, Liu Qingtang couldn't wait to ask: "What troubles has Su Shu encountered recently? This spirit is not good."

It was probably asked by many people, Yang Sushu subconsciously replied with a gentle smile without even thinking about it: "It's just that I found a few lonely medical books recently, I've been reading them greedily and forgot to rest, there's nothing serious about it."

If someone is not familiar with her, seeing her dignified and serious face, maybe they will believe her without any doubt.But Liu Qingtang played with her since they were young, so why didn't she know that this was just her excuse, so she just laughed and watched her say nothing.

Yang Sushu also knew his friend's usual character, so he stopped smiling gently on his face, and sat on the chair, touching his forehead and sighing.

"Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with you."

"Oh? Is that so..." Liu Qingtang was in high spirits, waiting for her to explain.Her appetite has been whetted. You must know that her good friend has changed from the quiet girl who loved to cry when she was a child to the gentle and gentle man who is gentle and polite. One or two points stronger, even harder than her queen mother.

Liu Qingtang couldn't remember how long it had been since she saw her friend showing a vulnerable side. Looking back, it seemed that she always had a smile on her face that made people feel refreshed.Such a rare distressed look is really rare nowadays, how can she not be curious.

"It all started when you asked me to see a doctor for Concubine Lian after Concubine Lian and King Chun left the palace."

"Well, I went back to Liu's house a few days ago, on the day of Lantern Festival, and you still said that you were going to show Concubine Lian, what's wrong?" Thinking of this incident, Liu Qingtang couldn't help wondering if Concubine Lian had shown her friend's face.

"Even the concubine is indeed seriously ill. She probably will die soon, and she probably knows it herself." Most doctors are kind-hearted. At least Yang Sushu was influenced by the surrounding environment since childhood. In Liu Qingtang's opinion, he is much kinder than her. At this point, I couldn't help showing a compassionate expression and sighing: "I looked up the medical books in my family, and I also asked other seniors in the imperial hospital who had diagnosed and treated this symptom, and prescribed a prescription for Princess Lian. Temporarily suppress her illness, she will definitely die within three months."

"As a doctor, you can't save your own patients. You can only watch her die. It really makes people feel powerless. If you talk about my troubles, this is one. In addition, it is His Royal Highness Chunwang." Yang Sushu When it comes to Chun Wang, the whole person is obviously more distressed, and his brows are tightly frowned.

Liu Qingtang was quite surprised when she heard the words, the pure king Xiao Huai and Xiao Huai were just a faint shadow in her heart, and even she had a deeper impression of Lian Toffee than him.Because Xiao Huai's brain is not good, she can't even speak. When she saw him, she basically stared blankly at some place in a daze, and stayed there for a long time without moving.

Take the only big banquet where Xiao Huaiyu can be seen as an example, she always ignores him unconsciously, how can such a person who has no sense of existence be the source of Su Shu's distress?
"On the day of the Lantern Festival, after I went home from the consultation for Concubine Lian, I didn't intend to go out when I returned to the mansion. What I said at the beginning was that I found out that the few isolated medical books were not lies, they were true. I was studying all the time, but Liao Bo said that the Lantern Festival is to watch the lanterns, so he drove me out of the house to watch the lanterns."

Liu Qingtang refills her tea without any hassle, with a smile on her face but shaking her head in her heart.Su Shu's temperament that seems to be gentle to everyone is actually the most difficult to get close to. In addition, he usually goes home except for the imperial hospital, and even prefers to stay at home to read medical books on festivals. Is it possible that everyone will grow old alone in this man's skin?
Her cold and hard father couldn't stand it, and had talked to Su Shu several times, not to mention Liao Bo, the housekeeper of the Yang family who treated Su Shu as his own granddaughter.Yuan Xiao drove her out to watch the lanterns, the intention was extremely obvious, just to see if she could meet a good man at the lantern festival, and if not, at least go out and have fun like a girl.

But Liu Qingtang reckoned that her friend just went to the pharmacy to look at the newly-introduced medicinal materials, and then she was going to go back. Since she entered the palace, no one had forced her to take plain books, so she probably refused to go obediently.

Sure enough, Yang Sushu's next sentence was: "I saw the new medicinal materials in several pharmacies nearby, and when I was about to go back, I met His Royal Highness Chunwang."

Yang Sushu visited the pharmacy for a while on the Lantern Festival, and was ready to go back to the mansion after she felt that she could fool Uncle Liao. Then she saw the Chun Wang whom she had seen in the Chun Wang Mansion in the morning, sitting under the wall on the side of the street, with a few children beside her. Playing and throwing pebbles at him, seeing that he didn't respond, they gathered together and laughed, as if it was a fun game.

Of course she stepped forward to stop those children, and then wanted to send His Royal Highness Pure King back.However, because he had bruises on his face and his clothes were dirty and messy, it didn't look good to send him back like this, so he took him to a nearby pharmacy, which was one of the several pharmacies opened by their Yang family.

Fortunately, he seemed to remember that she went to see Concubine Lian in the morning, and followed her obediently.

He asked the man to deliver the letter to Chunwang's Mansion, and Yang Sushu took care of the scratches on his face and forehead with his own hands.She also bought him a new set of clothes for him to change into. She originally wanted the man to change it for him, but who knew that he would never let unfamiliar people get close to him, and would not take off his dirty clothes no matter what.After a stalemate for a long time, in the end Yang Sushu had no choice but to change it for him. As for the embarrassment in the process of changing, I won't talk about it.

She was really relieved when she took care of His Royal Highness Chun Wang, and immediately prepared to send him back to Chun Wang's mansion, but he stood dead on a wooden stake in the lobby of the pharmacy, refusing to move a step, staring at the medicine cabinets on the two walls in a daze He made an ahhh sound in a daze.Yang Sushu didn't know what was wrong. Seeing his ignorant appearance, Fu Zhixin suddenly understood what he meant, and asked, "Take medicine to treat Concubine Lian?"

Then he became quiet, and stared at her in a daze with darker eyes than ordinary people.

Yang Sushu was stunned at the time, she and everyone else thought Chun Wang was a fool, he was in a daze every day and didn't understand anything, and he didn't understand that his mother was sick and dying soon, let alone comfort her.

But now she understands that he actually has feelings, but he is just ignorant and doesn't know how to express them.He also knew that his mother was sick, but he didn't know that much, and probably only thought that taking medicine would make it better, so he just ran out.It is estimated that he has never seen the outside world, and he does not know where to go, so he can only sit by the wall in a daze.

At that moment, Yang Sushu was a little moved, rolled up his sleeves and took the medicine for Concubine Lian seriously at the counter.After she handed over the medicine bag, he hugged her tightly and refused to let go.

After sending him back to Chunwang Mansion, she thought that this was the end of the matter, but who knew, this was just the beginning.Because her Yang Mansion and Chun Wang Mansion are relatively close, every time Yang Sushu goes home, she can see His Royal Highness Chun Wang Mansion standing at the gate of Chun Wang Mansion, and when she sees her, he will follow her silently.If she ignored him and went directly into the mansion, he would just wait outside, staring at the gate of her Yang mansion for a long time in a daze.And as long as she takes him to the pharmacy to get medicine, he will hold the medicine bag and be sent back by her quietly and obediently.

Every day, it is like this.

Yang Sushu sighed unconsciously again, concealed some of the things, and simply said: "He somehow got out of the mansion, he didn't have any attendants by his side, and he was bullied by a group of children, so I sent him back. It's just that Later, he seemed to think that I could save Concubine Lian, and every time he saw me, he wanted me to take him to grab the medicine."

Liu Qingtang raised her eyebrows, a dying concubine and a mad prince, they don't have any relatives in Yujing, they have neither power nor rich money in their hands, those palace people assigned by the House of Internal Affairs will definitely not do their best.However, he acted so negligently that a silly prince ran out and was bullied by a few children. This is really ugly. If people find out, the Tian family's face will be completely lost.

Since she has helped the mother and child several times, she might as well do it to the end, even if they don't accept her favor, she is just trying to make her feel at ease.Liu Qingtang was thinking about when to let Qin Shu go to Chunwang's mansion to teach those slaves who bullied the master a lesson.

After being the empress dowager for too long, subconsciously, she first paid attention to such things as Tianjia's face, and when Liu Qingtang recalled her friend's words again, she keenly noticed something different in them.Su Shu's tone...Even if Chun Wang is stupid, he is still a man. It seems that he has gotten very close to Su Shu recently?

Think about it this way, although Su Shu is the only one left in the Yang family, no one will force her to become a man to revitalize the family, but Su Shu himself is used to being so unwilling to change back to being a woman. A man of this status has no hope.Then it's not bad to be a companion with Xiao Huaiyu, at least he will not care about Su Shu's identity, nor will he make any demands on her, and he will not look for Su Shu with three wives and four concubines like these men now It's not fun, and it won't restrict the freedom of Su Shu.Su Shu is also a person who likes to be quiet, maybe the two of them would be fine together?
The more I thought about it, the more feasible it became. Liu Qingtang, who had been worrying about his friend's lifelong events for several years, suggested with a gentle smile on his face: "Su Shu, what do you think of pure Wang Xiaohuai?"

Yang Sushu understood what she meant after a moment of surprise, and said a little dumbfounded: "Why did you suddenly think of this? I have already said that I don't want to think about these things anymore, Qingtang, you don't have to worry about me."

"Actually, Su Shu, if you think about it carefully, it's not bad for you to be with King Chun in this situation, but if you despise him as a fool, then forget it." Liu Qingtang said intentionally.

Even if Yang Sushu knew that his friend was using aggressive tactics, he had no choice but to explain clearly, "Although he has some problems in his mind, he has a pure heart. In my opinion, he is much better than ordinary men, so why do you dislike him?" Said. It's just that I really don't have that kind of thought about him, besides, he is three years younger than me."

"What's wrong with the younger three years old! The female junior is holding gold bricks and plain books!" Liu Qingtang put down the teacup heavily, and said angrily.

Seeing her like this, Yang Sushu suddenly laughed, "Could it be that Qin Shu is also three years younger than you?"

"...just two years younger." Liu Qingtang said reluctantly.

"Why didn't you see Qin Shu today?" Yang Sushu asked again.

Mentioning this, Liu Qingtang showed an even more unhappy expression on his face, "I want to replace the current chief steward of Ci'an Palace, so I promoted Qin Shu to be the deputy chief steward. Now he is busy studying with Ning Gonggong, and I have everything. I haven't seen him for two days." Realizing that his tone was wrong, Liu Qingtang coughed and put on a serious expression, "Of course I didn't miss him, but he didn't come to pay his respects for two days, what does it look like."

"If you miss him, tell him well, otherwise how would he know? In fact, Qin Shu likes you so much, you don't have to put on such an appearance on purpose."

Liu Qingtang was discouraged when she heard it, she lowered her shoulders and said in a low voice, "I see."

Yang Sushu, who finally broke the topic, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that her friend would talk about that incident again, she quickly stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back first." Then she seemed to be chasing after something behind her. Just like that, he left here in a hurry.

When Liu Qingtang finished worrying about how to say such things to Qin Shu, when she raised her head again, Yang Sushu was no longer visible.

Although she felt much more relaxed after talking to her friends, Yang Sushu still felt a little awkward when she saw His Royal Highness Chun Wang waiting at the door because of the irrelevant words she said later.But she couldn't see it on her face, she met the pair of lifeless black eyes staring at her, and said with a smile as usual: "Let's go, I will take your highness down to grab the medicine."
