Rebirth of the Great Favor

Shen Zhonghua was really just applied medicine, nothing else.

When Shen Qi went to the drug store to drink the child prevention medicine, the ointment was taken along to have the doctor look. It was good and decent medicine. It was warm, reduced swelling, relieving pain, and had miraculous effects in healing wounds. The medicinal ingredients used were even more precious and expensive. Shen Zhonghua didn’t harm her.

So when Shen Zhonghua stretched his finger into her hole with the cool ointment and stroked inside, Shen Qi vowed to herself. She must apply the medicine on time to avoid this embarrassment and shameful thing to happen again.

After he finished applying the medicine, Shen Zhonghua personally sent Shen Qi back to the house. At the same time, he also gave her a new small wooden box. She was told to apply the contents inside the wooden box more often.

Just now she was scared by Shen Zhonghua’s lesson. Even if Shen Qi wasn’t interested in the gift he sent, she cleverly opened the small box because of his order.

Like the rouges sent by Shen Zhonghua, it was also from Yunbin Huayan Building. Inside the small box contained two other beautiful celadon small boxes. Shen Qi opened it and saw inside was a milky white liquid, emitting the fragrance of apricot flowers.

“It’s probably the new cream fragrant in the Yunbin Huayan Building.” These days, Shen Zhonghua has sent Shen Qi many things. Most of the rouge gouache came from this precious Yunbin Huayan Building. Shen Qi wasn’t surprised.

“This is a cream soap and this is a cream fragrant.” Contrary to what one might expect, Lian Xiang still knew these things more than Shen Qi. She pointed to Shen Qi to look and told her: “Cream soap is used for washing hands and cream fragrant is used for protecting hands.”

“I’m a slave. What hands need protection......” Shen Qi lowered her head and opened her hands. Although these hands were slender, they weren’t soft. There were thick layers of callous in her palms. Several fingers had traces of frostbite in winter and scars on the back of her hands.

“How to keep these hands well......” Shen Qi smiled bitterly.

She wasn’t used to being served by others. She often bathed by herself so she let Lian Xiang and Ling Jiao retreat.

Perhaps she was soaking in the hot water for too long, Shen Qi felt a little dizzy. She climbed up from the bath barrel giddy, wiped the water off from her body, and put on her clothes. She was just preparing to find a place to sit for a while. Suddenly, in front of her eyes turned dark and she fell to the ground.

At the same time as losing consciousness, Shen Qi realized that there was a problem with the burning anxi xiang in the room.

(T/N: anxixiang (benzoin) - used in perfumes, some kinds of incense, as a flavoring, and medicine. (wiki). An xi - either peaceful rest/sleep well at night and everyone knows what xiang is.)

When it was getting dark, the anxi xiang would be used in Shen Qi’s room. This was also Shen Zhonghua’s intention. He thought she couldn’t sleep comfortably and worried she wouldn’t be able to rest well so he found someone to specially make it.

Shen Qi also found the doctor in the drug store to take a look. This incense had no problem using it. In comparison, Shen Qi didn’t understand spices and couldn’t detect a slight change which was why......

After Shen Qi fainted, two people came in through the window. Their faces were covered and clad in black clothes. Their figures were tall, vigorous, and touched the ground without a sound. Naturally, those who could avoid numerous guards and dark guards, sneaking into the prince’s palace couldn’t be underestimated in terms of ability or martial arts.

The two men’s goal was clear-cut. They directly took Shen Qi away. It wasn’t until Ling Jiao carried the tonic in for Shen Qi to drink that she found Shen Qi wasn’t in the room.

The servant girls were hesitating for a while whether they should report it to Wangye.

After all, this identity in the house was special. Moreover in their eyes, she was highly skilled in martial arts. The servant girls didn’t report and also didn’t think Shen Qi was taken away. They just thought Shen Qi left without letting anyone know so they planned to wait and discuss later.

So where did Shen Qi go?

Who was the one that kidnapped Shen Qi?

One could only see two men in black, one in front and one behind. Their figures were as fast as lightning. Supposing their qinggong must be outstanding. They went out of the prince’s palace, went straight to an alley and made seven turns, eight turns, and then entered the back door of a courtyard.

Shen Qi was packed inside a sack by the men. She seemed to be still on a bed. At this time, she recovered some consciousness and realized that she was in danger now. However, the medicine effect was too strong. Shen Qi didn’t have the strength to raise her body. The only way to think of it was to cut her palm with the dagger in her sleeve so the pain would make her awake.

“Young Master, the person is brought here.” When the door opened, the man in black said respectfully to the coming man.

“Are you sure it’s that courtyard’s woman?” The coming man’s voice carried a touch of skepticism.

“Yes.” The man in black said: “We saw with our own eyes. Prince Xuan sent her into Fanghua Garden and stayed inside for a while before coming out. One doesn’t know what they were doing inside.”

“What else can they do?” The man called Young Master snorted coldly: “This fox-spirit bewitched Shen Zhonghua to be confused. She must be using those methods in qin lou chu guan without a doubt!

(T/N: qin lou chu guan is brothels.)

“After Xue-er returned from Prince Xuan’s palace, she washed her face with tears all day long. It was all caused by this little cheap hoof!” After that, the man that resembled Shen Qi walked over. While walking and also speaking: “This young master would like to see what this little cheap hoof looks like. She can actually make Shen Zhonghua change......”

He also added: “Presumably, the appearance must not be bad. Humph. Maybe she can be sold at a good price for your two brothers to have some good wine!”

After that, his hand reached to open the sack on Shen Qi......
