Shen Dingzhu immediately did not dare to hesitate, and immediately stepped forward, dug out a little ointment with her pink fingertips, and prepared to apply it on Xiao Langyan's eyes.
But……
"My lord, are you just keeping your eyes open like this?" Shen Dingzhu's tone was helpless.
The medicine was in front of her eyes, but Xiao Langyan still looked at her with his cold, indifferent eyes.
Xiao Langyan raised his eyebrows: "It was the pupils of the eyes that were burned by the fire. If you close your eyes, how should you apply medicine?"
"You can't get in with your eyes open. You can't let me poke my fingers into my eyes." Suspicion remained on Shen Dingzhu's pretty face, and her eyes were vivid and dark.
Xiao Langyan took a deep breath and said: "How stupid."
He pointed to his lower eyelids: "The imperial doctor said, apply it here."
Shen Dingzhu received the instruction and touched it gently. The smell of the ointment was pungent and spicy. He didn't know what was added to it. As soon as it touched Xiao Langyan's eyes, he frowned.
Shen Dingzhu could feel that the medicine was probably very painful. The corners of Xiao Langyan's eyes were congested and red, but he endured it without making a sound.
Instead, she blew in subconsciously.
Xiao Langyan's throat moved, and his voice was low and melodious: "What are you doing? Do you treat me as a three-year-old child?"
Shen Dingzhu was a little embarrassed, and the beauty's face was as red as haze: "In the past, if I bumped into someone, my mother would blow it like this. Although it had no effect, someone comforted me, and it seemed that it didn't hurt anymore. of. "
Xiao Langyan sneered, but he did not refute. Instead, when Shen Dingzhu applied medicine to his other eye, he said, "Blow on this one too."
With such a peaceful relationship, the tension in Shen Dingzhu gradually dissipated. Since the last time she had a fight with Xiao Langyan, the two of them had not been alone together like this for a long time.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Langyan took the initiative to speak: "You should have heard that something went wrong during the prince's sacrifice ceremony. In about two days, he will be deposed as the crown prince."
Shen Dingzhu paused and nodded: "The prince's strategy has always been like this, one hit will definitely hit, and the hit will definitely draw blood."
She flattered him a little. After all, she didn't do much in this matter. Once the crown prince fell, the next battle in the court would shift to Xiao Langyan and Prince Ming.
Xiao Langyan raised his eyes and looked at her, fire seemed to fill his eyes.
"It was you who gave me the help."
"Concubine?" Shen Dingzhu was surprised, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly understood, her soft voice lowered, "Have you spoken to Mr. Du?"
Xiao Langyan was noncommittal.
A twinkling smile burst out in Shen Dingzhu's eyes: "I see, no wonder, Mr. Du has probably figured it out and reached an agreement with the prince in private, which is much better than the idea I gave him."
Mr. Du was still moved by her words.
However, rashly recommending Xiao Langyan to the court would arouse the emperor's suspicion. Therefore, in private, after Xiao Langyan met with Mr. Du, he let Mr. Du follow suit.
In the past few days, the ministers under Mr. Du's influence should have been prepared for how to impeach the prince in the court.
Xiao Langyan glanced at her and said calmly: "Don't be too happy, he made a request."
Shen Dingzhu looked at him and felt a sinking feeling in her heart: "What's the request?"
"He requested that if this king ascends the throne one day, the first ban he issues is to immediately abolish all banned drugs and dig pits to burn them. He also said," Xiao Langyan paused, "You cannot easily overturn your father's case."
There was a flash of snow in Shen Dingzhu's eyes, and anger appeared on his brows.
"Why is Mr. Du so narrow-minded? He brought his power to seek refuge with the prince, and even used my father as a condition. My father was clearly wronged, why should he be like this!"
After Shen Dingzhu finished speaking, she realized that Xiao Langyan was silent and looking at her with an unpredictable expression.
She spoke with difficulty: "Your Highness...promised him?"
Xiao Langyan just smiled, with a clear and cold look in his eyes: "Not yet, I just said that his request is embarrassing to me. Prime Minister Shen is the father of my beloved concubine. Even if he cannot reverse the case, he must give it to him decently. An explanation."
Shen Dingzhu couldn't help but clicked his tongue when he saw the bright, sharp and deep eyes of Xiao Langyan.
He said this not because he really loved her, but because he wanted to give Mr. Du an answer and let Mr. Du know that he, Xiao Langyan, was not an emperor who could do whatever his ministers said.
Shen Dingzhu knew this, and it was not necessarily as Du Lao said that he could not overturn his father's case.
She applied the medicine decisively and diligently, and repeatedly asked softly: "Your Majesty, does it still hurt now?"
Xiao Langyan sneered twice at her performance: "You have applied so much, how much is left in the jar? This is what Dr. Cen prescribed, and I am required to apply the medicine for three days in a row."
Shen Dingzhu was startled, and looked down. There was not much left in the jar in his hand, and when he looked around Xiao Langyan's closed eyes, brown ointment had already spread out.
She quietly scraped the excess ointment back into the jar and said softly: "This is my first time serving the prince to apply the ointment. I have no experience. I will remember it next time."
Xiao Langyan sneered: "Does that mean you applied too much? Fortunately it wasn't any other medicine, otherwise, you would have killed me."
Shen Dingzhu chatted.
After taking the medicine, Xiao Langyan needed to follow the doctor's advice and lie on the bed to rest for half an hour. During this period, he could not go anywhere.
Shen Dingzhu accompanied him. In order to reduce the damage of the candle light to his eyes, there were only two luminous pearls in the hall.
She sat by the couch, undressed Xiao Langyan, and finally covered him with a brocade quilt.
Suddenly, Shen Dingzhu felt that this scene seemed familiar, and her cheeks couldn't help but get hot.
That night at Jue Ma Temple, Xiao Langyan was poisoned by aphrodisiac. The same thing happened. He couldn't open his eyes. Thinking about it this way, he should have been treating his eyes at that time?
She was slightly distracted and didn't even hear Xiao Langyan's two calls.
"Shen Dingzhu!" Xiao Langyan's voice was filled with anger for the last time.
Shen Dingzhu finally came to his senses, and Xiao Langyan gritted his teeth and said, "I asked you if you regret saving me that night at Jue Ma Temple. How dare you remain silent?"
She was startled, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion, and her face became even hotter.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Langyan was also thinking about this matter.
Shen Dingzhu stuttered and said: "No, I'm just thinking that I was lucky enough to meet the prince that day, otherwise we wouldn't have formed a long-term relationship. How can I ask the prince to help me now?"
Xiao Langyan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes sharp and bottomless.
"You usually speak impeccably, but I know that these are all lies. You will not reveal your true nature unless it is absolutely necessary."
Shen Dingzhu coughed lightly, quickly picked up the handkerchief, and forcefully covered Xiao Langyan's eyes.
"Your Highness, you can't open your eyes for the time being after applying the medicine, otherwise the medicine will be in vain. Close your eyes."
Seeing how guilty she was, Xiao Langyan pursed his thin lips into a cold line.
After some time, Shen Dingzhu felt drowsy.
Suddenly I heard Xiao Langyan say: "From tomorrow onwards, you will move back to the palace to live with me."
