Shen Dingzhu came back to her senses, quickly lowered her head, held the bowl, and drank the bitter concoction in one gulp.
After drinking it in one breath, she stuck out her tongue in pain and hurriedly put the green plum into her mouth to feel better.
"Your Majesty, how long have I slept?"
"Three days." Xiao Langyan replied.
Shen Dingzhu was stunned. In her previous life, when she was so sick that she was about to faint, it was also within these three days.
However, this time was different. Xiao Langyan stayed in the palace. After a while, two famous doctors from the palace came in. After checking Shen Dingzhu's pulse, they nodded.
"Miss Shen has almost recovered from her illness. She will need to take the medicine for another three or four days." The doctor prescribed the medicine and left.
Shen Dingzhu's complexion was pale white with light pink. She looked at Xiao Langyan who was checking the prescription given to her by the doctor.
So, she couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, how is Miss Fu? Is she sick?"
Xiao Langyan's eyes were always on the prescription, and he hummed lightly: "She is sick, as you said. The Fu family sent someone to find me. She is coughing and wheezing, but she is not as sick as you."
Therefore, he did not loan out the government doctors.
A warm feeling flashed through Shen Dingzhu's heart. Although the dream about Fu Yunqiu's illness was false, it was just an excuse for her to persuade Xiao Langyan not to visit her.
However, his approach made her purse her lips. Furong looked ashamed and said proactively: "Your Majesty...don't you blame me for stealing the bronze coins?"
His voice was low and slow, "I don't like Zheng Erlan's decision-making without authorization. Don't imitate her stupidity. Follow me and mind your own business."
So that's it. Shen Dingzhu lowered his head slightly. Xiao Langyan has a domineering personality and doesn't like others touching his bottom line.
When she lowered her head, her black hair stuck obediently to her white neck. Her skin was as creamy as cream, and her cheeks were even slightly pink. Her eyelashes were slightly drooped, like peonies in bud.
Xiao Langyan took a second look and suddenly came closer.
"If you want anything in the future, just ask me directly." He said, "The money Zhou Luli gave you, I will return it to you on your behalf."
Shen Dingzhu nodded lightly, his slender jade fingers unconsciously grasping the brocade blue mattress, and his charming figure was bound to appear.
Seeing her hand, Xiao Langyan's throat rolled twice, and then he took the initiative to look away.
Shen Dingzhu rolled her eyes. She remembered that although Fu Yunqiu was coughing and wheezing and was seriously ill, he was all pretending.
During this time, the prince was being humiliated and didn't care much about her. Fu Yunqiu just wanted to take this opportunity to arouse the prince's pity.
Even if she could drag the doctor away, Xiao Langyan might not be able to be ruthless, and in this case, Fu Yunqiu would still succeed.
Shen Dingzhu thought for a moment and said proactively: "Do you know the ghost doctor Jiang Manzi? His medical skills are world-famous. He can cure human flesh and bones. My father is kind to him. If Miss Fu is seriously ill, I can Ask him to come and see her.”
Jiang Manzi felt Fu Yunqiu's pulse and knew the truth, but she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.
However, Jiang Manzi once said that the Shen family had one chance to seek help from him, and no matter what kind of illness he was in, he could make a wonderful comeback. However, there was only one chance, and Jiang Manzi could only save one life.
After Shen Dingzhu finished speaking for a long time, Xiao Langyan didn't answer. He only lowered his cold eyes, as if thinking about whether it was necessary.
After a moment, he raised his head: "What is the reason why you are so interested in her?"
Shen Dingzhu was stunned, and after a moment, she raised her eyebrows and replied: "I don't care about Miss Fu, but the prince. I don't want the prince to be reprimanded by the emperor because of her."
She said, looking at him with her dark eyes.
There happened to be a few rays of warm sunlight shining outside the window, making her skin look like white snow.
The words are sincere, but the beauty always has a sense of distance.
After a moment, Xiao Langyan raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "In the future, the so-called ridiculous things like dreaming about getting sick for her, don't happen again. You only have this life, take care of yourself."
Shen Dingzhu was startled, and felt that there was a hint of care in these cold words.
Will Xiao Langyan care about people? It’s really something I’ve never seen before.
A few days later, Fu Yunqiu probably became seriously ill.
Xiao Langyan came to Shen Dingzhu and asked her how to contact Jiang Manzi.
Shen Dingzhu lowered his eyebrows and said in a soft voice: "The prince will send someone to take my letter and go to the end of West Street to find an eight-year-old beggar. Jiang Manzi will definitely come within three days."
Xiao Langyan took a pen and paper and watched Shen Dingzhu complete the painting one stroke at a time. Her handwriting is full of energy, thin at the strokes, and has a strong character.
It was probably taught by Prime Minister Shen himself. It is its own school and the writing is quite good.
After the letter was completed, Xiao Langyan took it and asked Xu Shou to make a trip.
In the past few days of waiting for Jiang Manzi's arrival, Shen Dingzhu's condition has almost improved. He drank several decoctions every day, which made the base of his tongue feel bitter.
The maid who came to clean the house every day revealed a piece of news to Shen Dingzhu intentionally or unintentionally.
Zheng Erlan suffered twenty strokes and could not get out of bed. She cried from morning to night. I heard that she had asked someone to give her mother a message.
Shen Dingzhu is indifferent to this. If the sky falls, she will push Xiao Langyan to hold it up.
On the third day, a beggar wearing rags came to the door, and the concierge almost beat him out as a beggar.
Fortunately, Xu Shou stopped him and after some conversation, he realized that the arrogant-looking beggar in front of him was the ghost doctor Jiang Manzi.
Xiao Langyan took Shen Dingzhu and Jiang Manzi directly to the Fu Mansion in a carriage.
On the way, Jiang Manzi learned that he was not treating the Shen family. His dark and thin face was full of displeasure. He pointed at Shen Dingzhu and kept shaking his head and sighing: "You baby, you are really... ugh!"
When I arrived at Fu Mansion, I happened to meet the prince's people.
When he learned that Fu Yunqiu was seriously ill, he sent his servants to deliver supplements and carried more than a dozen boxes in. However, no matter how many gifts there were, the prince did not come in person.
Fu Yunqiu must be disappointed.
Shen Dingzhu glanced at Xiao Langyan and saw him following the concierge into Fu's house with a normal expression.
"It's inconvenient for me to enter the courtyard. You and Jiang Manzi go in." Outside Fu Yunqiu's courtyard, Xiao Langyan stopped and after explaining to Shen Dingzhu, he followed Mr. Fu to the main hall to drink tea.
The maid had informed Fu Yunqiu in advance of Jiang Manzi's intention.
Therefore, when Shen Dingzhu and the others entered the house, the mica screen had already been set up, and the best spices were burning in the house, which smelled fresh and good. Behind the screen, Fu Yunqiu's figure leaning on the bed was looming.
She stretched out a white plain wrist and said in a warm voice: "I'd like to ask Miss Shen to take the doctor on this trip."
Before Shen Dingzhu spoke, Jiang Manzi said in a bad tone: "If Shen Wawa hadn't asked me to come, I wouldn't even want to come!"
Fu Yunqiu's face froze, thinking that this was not a famous doctor, at most he was a rogue doctor with an arrogant temper.
A cold look flashed in her eyes.
After checking his pulse for a moment, Jiang Manzi frowned more and more. Finally, he suddenly stood up and said angrily: "You're not sick, so why don't you call me here? No more!"
He rolled up his sleeves and left. Shen Dingzhu was surprised: "Uncle Jiang..."
However, Jiang Manzi had already put his hands behind his back and walked out quickly.
Fu Yunqiu asked the maid to chase him. Shen Dingzhu calmed down, looked back at the screen, and said slowly: "Miss Fu, I will report the doctor's words to the prince truthfully. You have a good rest."
As she said that, she was about to leave, but Fu Yunqiu's faint smile came from behind her.
"You can go ahead and tell me whether I am sick or not. Lang Yan will only believe my words. Isn't it normal that the doctor you hired is not good at medicine and can't feel the pulse?"
Shen Dingzhu frowned.
There was a rustling sound, and Fu Yunqiu strolled leisurely around the screen. His face looked a little haggard, but his smile was bright.
"I heard that you were sick before, Miss Shen, what a coincidence," Fu Yunqiu said, "But if everyone knew that it was you who dragged the famous doctors from the prince's palace and refused to let them come to see me, what would they think of you? "
When no one was around in private, Fu Yunqiu finally revealed her true face.
Shen Dingzhu's picturesque and delicate eyebrows showed a trace of disgust: "I am completely different from Miss Fu. My illness is at least real."
Fu Yunqiu smiled softly and maintained a dignified posture: "It doesn't matter if it's true or false. Look, I was only sick for two days, and he asked you to call a so-called famous doctor to treat me."
"So I advise you to accept it as soon as you can, and don't be too wishful thinking. If Lang Yan really cares about you, he won't even cancel your slave status."
Shen Dingzhu didn't know what Fu Yunqiu was thinking. He actually thought she was pretending to be ill.
However, in her previous life, she had already experienced Fu Yunqiu's methods and knew her thoughts well.
Seeing her getting closer and closer, Shen Dingzhu retreated to the door, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the figure approaching behind him.
Of course Fu Yunqiu also saw it. She grabbed Shen Dingzhu's wrist and said with a low smile: "You said that if I were pushed down and injured by you, Langyan would not be able to tolerate you?"
After saying that, she reached out and knocked down the small vase on the window sill next to her, making a loud crash!
Just when Fu Yunqiu was about to throw her down and scream, Shen Dingzhu picked up the porcelain pieces faster than her. Before Fu Yunqiu could react, he strangled her wrist with his backhand and cut a severe wound.
Blood trickled out immediately.
Fu Yunqiu's expression changed drastically and he screamed.
"you……"
Shen Dingzhu shouted out before her: "Miss Fu, even if it is a strange disease, it can be cured, don't let it get to you!"
