Shen Dingzhu smiled, she raised her watery eyes and looked at the tall man in front of her gently.
With such a lingering gaze, her eyes were cold, as if a lot of frost had fallen. Xiao Langyan had felt it more than once. She seemed to be right next to her, but she was so far away that it was as mysterious as being untouchable.
"Your Majesty, if I said that I had a dream and knew this in advance, you would not believe it, right?"
"What a dream."
"Nightmare." Shen Dingzhu answered quickly. She turned her back and smoothed the black hair hanging down from her shoulders with her hands, "a nightmare that I am avoiding."
"So, you can trust me, because only by relying on you can I rescue my parents and clear my family's grievances. I am the only person in the world who least wants anything to happen to the prince."
She looked back, the clarity in her eyes was like a pool of snow.
When the beauty looked at Xiao Langyan, she clearly had a distant expression, but Xiao Langyan actually wanted to get closer.
"I understand, I will arrange this matter." He said solemnly.
Afterwards, Xiao Langyan prepared to leave.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Shen Dingzhu said: "Your Majesty, help me call Shen Bi here. I want to take a bath."
I was doused with potion and it smelled terrible.
Xiao Langyan responded and walked to the door. He suddenly stopped and turned around.
Shen Dingzhu took off half of his outer robe and couldn't help but froze: "Your Majesty, you still won't leave?"
"What did I do to you in your nightmare?" He seemed to suddenly become curious, looking at her with eyes full of inquiry and depth.
She didn't answer, so Xiao Langyan kept standing at the door, as if he was waiting for an answer.
Shen Dingzhu withdrew her gaze, lowered her white and tender neck slightly, and her sideways posture was extremely graceful. She said lightly: "In the dream, we didn't meet. I married my sweetheart."
She lied, telling a story about her past fantasies.
If it weren't for her family, she really wanted to have nothing to do with Xiao Langyan.
But in her life, from the moment the Shen family was destroyed, she was destined to take the initiative to step into Prince Ning's mansion.
This is her destiny.
The cold wind suddenly rushed in from the door, accompanied by a loud bang as the curtain hit the door frame.
Shen Dingzhu looked up in surprise, but Xiao Langyan had disappeared.
Shen Bi waited for her to take a bath before washing away her fatigue.
"I'm tired, Shen Bi, you should go back and rest." Shen Dingzhu said.
Shen Bi looked at her with some distress: "Okay, then the slave will come tomorrow morning to deliver breakfast to the lady."
Shen Dingzhu hummed, and after Shen Bi left, she took out the handkerchief from under the pillow.
It had been dyed yellow by the concoction. When I got closer and smelled it, it still had a bitter taste.
She looked for an opportunity and wanted to give the veil to the miracle doctor Jiang Manzi. He would definitely be able to tell what kind of medicine it was.
Shen Dingzhu wants to find out whether the health-preserving medicine she drank in her previous life was a life-threatening poison!
At this moment, Shen Bi left and returned, calling at the door: "Miss..."
Shen Dingzhu quickly stuffed the handkerchief back under his pillow: "Why are you back?"
Shen Bi held a bottle of ointment in her hand: "Eunuch Xu sent someone to deliver it just now. He said it was the prince's order. You have been kneeling outside Minghua Hall for so long today, and your knees are all bruised."
Shen Bi was very happy. When she was waiting for the young lady to take a bath, she saw bruises and purples on her skin that was as white as tofu.
With their current status, it is absolutely impossible to use good ointment.
Shen Bi was still worried about what to do, but now someone specially sent medicine.
Shen Dingzhu stretched out his slender white legs from the quilt and looked at the bruises on his knees.
Shen Bi said with a smile while applying the medicine: "Miss, the prince is very kind to you! Although he is always strict with his words, he is thinking of you in his heart. Otherwise, why would he send someone to deliver the medicine?"
Shen Dingzhu said nothing.
Shen Bi talked to herself for a long time before she realized that her young lady didn't talk to her at all!
She cautiously raised her head and saw Shen Dingzhu's stunningly beautiful face with a calm look on her face. She was gently rubbing the skin around her knees with her pink fingertips.
Shen Bi hurriedly knelt on the ground: "This slave is wrong."
Shen Dingzhu raised his eyes and finally smiled at her.
"Shen Bi, you silly girl, no matter whether the prince treats me well or badly, I have to understand my position clearly."
She said, poking Shen Bi's head: "Go and rest, it's very late."
Shen Bi stuck out her tongue: "Miss taught me this, I will remember it."
After Shen Bi left, Shen Dingzhu put the square handkerchief into a box.
Then, with her sober and cold eyes, she looked at Xiao Langyan's robe hanging on the screen in the distance.
The next day, it started raining heavily early in the morning, shrouding the sky like a dark night.
Xiao Langyan did not come in person, but asked Xu Shou to lead an imperial physician from the palace to diagnose Shen Dingzhu's pulse.
When the imperial doctor came, Shen Dingzhu had small red spots on his neck and arms.
She kept scratching, her slender fingertips scraping across the white and tender skin, leaving streaks of bright red.
The imperial doctor who was over sixty years old was frightened and said: "You can't catch it, it will leave scars easily."
Shen Dingzhu's pretty face was full of anxiety: "How can I not scratch it? It's very itchy. Doctor, please take a good look at it!"
She stepped forward with her arms raised, but the imperial doctor stepped back repeatedly and bumped into Xu Shou.
"Mr. Liu, the prince has invited you to treat Shen Tongfang. Why did you run away first? Isn't this inappropriate?" Xu Shoupi smiled with a sinister look in his eyes.
Moreover, he urged: "Hurry up and see what kind of disease it is that has infected the maid in her house."
Doctor Liu's face turned even paler and he said hurriedly: "I think Shen Tongfang is suffering from a rash that is contagious, so I will prescribe medicine to treat it first. Do not scratch it. It is best to ask the prince not to come near him!"
After he said that, he hurried out to fill the prescription and could not stay in the house for a moment.
Shen Dingzhu winked at Xu Shou, Xu Shou cupped his hand and followed immediately.
Later, I heard from Shen Bi that Dr. Liu rushed back to the palace without stopping.
After noon, Shen Dingzhu was taking a nap. The rain pattered outside, and the water curtain fell along the eaves.
She was sleeping peacefully when she was suddenly picked up from the quilt.
Shen Dingzhu, who was woken up, frowned and glared at her in displeasure.
"What are you doing!" When she saw it was Xiao Langyan, her expression didn't get much better.
Xiao Langyan looked gloomy, grabbed her wrist, pushed her sleeve up, and sure enough he saw dense rashes.
"Aren't you pretending to be sick? Are you serious?" he scolded.
Shen Dingzhu retracted his hand and lowered his long eyelashes lazily: "If you want to deceive the imperial doctor, of course you have to be more rigorous."
"Mr. Liu is my person, I have already told you so, why do you need to do so much more!"
"Your Majesty went to see Miss Fu last night and came back with a musky scent. I have been with you for so long and I have been sick for a long time. This is such a great opportunity. Why not take advantage of it?"
Xiao Langyan's face was full of anger and he was suddenly stunned.
His dark eyes turned and he saw the cloak he wore last night hanging on the screen.
I remembered that when I carried her back from Minghua Palace last night, I put it on her body.
Shen Dingzhu leaned against the soft pillow and asked, "Did you come back from the palace? Did Concubine Xian find anything?"
Xiao Langyan sat on the edge of the couch and looked at her with calm and dark eyes: "As you said, she found a straw man with the character "Prince" written on it and buried it under the tree."
"When I left the palace, she had already found someone to rebel and let my father know about the queen's frame-up. However, these matters are not your business."
Shen Dingzhu played with a strand of hair, twirling his pink fingertips around.
"I can't control it. I just want nothing to happen to the prince." She said, raising her eyes and smiling at him without any pretense.
However, Xiao Langyan found that her face was extremely red.
He suddenly reached out and touched her forehead, and immediately his black eyes were cold and cold: "He's getting hot again."
