Xiao Langyan strode to the bed and reached out to feel the pulse of Shen Dingzhu's neck.
And breath.
He immediately asked Cheng Hui to go out and prepare hot water, and then ordered Chen Heng to pick up Jiang Manzi.
"Don't talk nonsense to him, tie him up directly and hurry!" He urged in a cold voice. Chen Heng did not dare to delay and hurriedly turned around and went out to do as he was told.
Afterwards, Xiao Langyan sat by the couch and looked at Shen Dingzhu with his long eyebrows furrowed.
The beauty's face was pale and no longer as rosy as before. The originally bright lips had also lost their vitality, and the whole person exuded a dead air.
Xu Shou was by Xiao Langyan's side and told everything about what happened.
"The prince is not in the palace. I am afraid that Aunt Shen wanted to take away the prince's worries, so she took the decision without permission and drank the bowl of highly toxic medicine. When the slave came back, she heard that the old imperial eunuch was very happy when he left, saying that it was medicinal soup. It won’t kill you.”
"It can be seen that Aunt Shen is not in danger of her life, but the toxicity is so severe that I'm afraid..." Xu Shou hesitated.
Dark clouds surged in Xiao Langyan's eyes. The emperor's illness struck earlier than Shen Dingzhu expected.
Suddenly, he lowered his eyes slightly and saw that the fingertips of Shen Dingzhu's right hand were stained with ink.
Xiao Langyan stretched out his hand and rubbed it gently twice, and Xu Shou hurriedly said: "When the old eunuch left, Cheng Hui and the others pushed the door in and saw Aunt Shen collapsed at the table."
Xiao Langyan immediately stared, but after a moment, he came to his senses and walked to the table.
After moving the top book away, the messy handwriting on the piece of paper underneath suddenly came into view.
Looking at the erratic and trembling words, Xiao Langyan could imagine that Shen Dingzhu endured the pain and hurriedly wanted to leave the last few words for him.
On the paper it says:
Master Ma has a different intention, please help my father.
When she was about to die, she was thinking about her family.
Xiao Langyan's eyes were dark and deep, and he gradually tightened his grip on the paper, then ignited it with fire and turned it into ashes.
He sat back next to Shen Dingzhu, his eyes were complicated, and he said in a low voice: "You don't need to worry about these things, I will make it happen for you, but the prerequisite is that you wake up and tell me personally!"
"Shen Dingzhu, I have never allowed you to die, so you are not allowed to die."
After that, he asked Xu Shou to bring a wet and hot handkerchief to wipe off the ink on Shen Dingzhu's fingertips.
It was late at night, and Fu Yunqiu was temporarily staying in the other courtyard.
She applied medicine on her face, but it was burning and itchy. She didn't dare to scratch it for fear of losing her appearance.
She kept instructing her maid Fang Hui to go to Jiang Manzi, hoping that the ghost doctor would prescribe a new prescription for her to relieve the itching.
However, Fanghui went there three or four times and always said when she came back: "Miss, it's not good. I heard from the servants here that the ghost doctor was just taken away!"
Fu Yunqiu's eyes widened: "Where are you going? Didn't the prince tell him that he must stay and take good care of me? He doesn't want to die!"
Fang Hui pursed her lips and said cautiously: "It was the prince who took the ghost doctor away. It seems that Aunt Shen over there is not feeling well."
It's Shen Dingzhu again! Why does it happen to be against her every time?
Fu Yunqiu's heart was filled with anger, and there was a bit of viciousness in his eyes.
"Go to Prince Ning's Mansion to find the prince, tell him that I have fainted, and ask him to come back with the ghost doctor as soon as possible."
Fang Hui went out, but Fu Yunqiu endured the itching on his face and did not dare to scratch it.
She waited painfully, believing that Xiao Langyan would definitely come back with Jiang Manzi.
However, instead of Fanghui, Eunuch Xu Shou with a gloomy face arrived, with five or six guards behind him.
"Miss Fu, the prince has asked his servant to entertain you." Xu Shoupi smiled, his tall figure standing at the door like a fierce ghost.
Fu Yunqiu's heart skipped a beat, and he looked behind him and immediately frowned: "Where is the prince? I'm not feeling well. My body hurts badly. I want to see the prince and the ghost doctor."
Eunuch Xu Shou smiled coldly: "The prince asked his servant to remind you that I had no choice but to help you before. Now that our relationship has been broken, there is no reason to help you anymore."
"So, the prince has specially asked his servant to take you out of the mansion. Come on, Miss Fu. Fang Hui is already waiting at the door."
Fu Yunqiu couldn't believe what he heard.
Xiao Langyan actually ignored her and wanted to drive her out? How could he be so cruel when he knew that her face was not healed yet?
"Eunuch Xu Shou, I won't leave. The prince doesn't have time to see me now. I can wait."
Xu Shou's eyes were sinister: "I'm afraid, this is not up to Miss Fu."
Xiao Langyan probably guessed Fu Yunqiu's temperament, so he sent Xu Shou to handle this matter.
Fu Yunqiu's expression changed after hearing this: "What do you mean?"
She took two steps back, only to see the guards behind Xu Shou step forward and grab her arms from left to right.
"The prince said that if Miss Fu doesn't cooperate, he will have to send you to the prince. I believe that based on the relationship between you and His Highness, the prince will not leave you alone."
After Xu Shou said this, he waved his hand coldly: "Take her away."
Fu Yunqiu looked panicked, struggling and shouting all the way.
It's a pity that Xiao Langyan's villa has very few servants. At this time, the cold night is misty, and there are no lights everywhere, making it even more dark and cold.
Fu Yunqiu's heart dropped to freezing point, knowing that Xiao Langyan was really cruel to Shen Dingzhu!
She was taken to the carriage parked at the door, and she saw that Fang Hui had already been tied up and thrown into the car, with a rag stuffed in her mouth.
Before Fu Yunqiu could shout, the carriage was already driving towards the palace.
Fu Yunqiu knew that Xiao Langyan kept his word, but she must not be seen by the prince like she is now!
"Eunuch, Eunuch Xu!" She couldn't wait to lean on the window and begged with a choked voice, "I won't make trouble anymore. Please take me back to Fu's house."
At least, there is still room for change!
Xu Shou smiled coldly: "It would be great if Miss Fu had told me earlier, and it would have saved the whole family a lot of trouble."
Afterwards, Fu Yunqiu watched helplessly as the carriage turned around, and then he finally relaxed and hid in the car, crying.
Shen Dingzhu felt that he had had a long dream.
In the dream, she was reunited with her family, sitting in the courtyard of the former Shen Mansion, with her mother gently stroking her black hair.
"Zhuzhu is our most beloved daughter. From now on, your parents will support you for the rest of your life and won't let you get married and suffer the anger of your husband's family, okay?"
The eldest brother and sister-in-law laughed and echoed: "We all dote on our little sister and wish her to be innocent all her life."
After the second brother finished practicing martial arts, he came back with his father, and the whole family was enjoying themselves.
She was once the only pearl of the Shen family. If she could, she would have dreamed of stopping at this moment and dying in such precious memories.
However, Shen Dingzhu soon felt a burning sensation in her belly, like a ball of hot fire, urging her to wake up.
Her eyelids were so drowsy that she felt someone helping her up.
The concoction touched her lips and was extremely bitter. She clenched her teeth and refused to cooperate.
Xiao Langyan's deep voice came to his ears: "Be obedient and drink the medicine. When you wake up, I will avenge you."
