Shen Dingzhu was imprisoned in a small courtyard. As soon as he entered the house, he smelled the smell of decay.
She was still feeling uncomfortable. She had just gone to the Qianyuan Hall to rescue Xiao Langyan, and she was already holding herself up.
After being imprisoned, the commander of the emperor's personal guards said with a cold face: "Three meals a day will be delivered on time. If there are orders during the rest of the time, Aunt Shen will call people from outside."
Shen Dingzhu sat beside the wooden couch and nodded gently: "Thank you."
They left and closed the door, and she heard the sound of locking coming from outside.
After a while, there was a noise from next door. When she heard Xu Shou's voice, Shen Dingzhu's heart calmed down slightly.
It seems that the emperor allowed Xu Shou to serve Xiao Langyan, which did not mean he had completely given up on his son.
But it makes sense to think about it. Now that the government is controlled by Xiao Langyan, he has to do everything by himself. Looking at the princes, except for Prince Ming, who else has the ability to compete with Xiao Langyan?
Now, King Ming is in Jiangnan, dealing with the water thieves.
When it got quiet over there, Shen Dingzhu was lying on the couch, half-closing his eyes weakly.
"Shen Dingzhu?" In her daze, a voice calling her name came from the next door. Xiao Langyan's voice was cold and low, "How are you?"
Shen Dingzhu supported her upper body. She slowly moved to a chair by the wall and sat down, weakly showing a pale smile.
Even though Xiao Langyan couldn't see her, she raised her pretty face and said, "I'm fine, Your Majesty, there's no need to worry."
"Show off!" Xiao Langyan's cold voice was filled with blame and severity. Shen Dingzhu could imagine his expression, which must be angry.
He said: "The king asked you to follow Xu Shou out of the palace first, why should you go to Qianyuan Palace?"
Shen Dingzhu was wrapped in a quilt. Although it was hot summer, she felt cold on her body. Her slender eyelashes were slightly drooped, and there was a faint smile like a cloud on her charming face like porcelain.
"Because I can't let the prince die like this. If something happens to the prince, my family will never have the chance to come back from Mobei."
Xiao Langyan was the only one who could save the Shen family. She placed all her bets on him, so now in Shen Dingzhu's eyes, his life was more important than her own.
However, Xiao Langyan opposite didn't seem to hear Hope's answer. After a long silence, Shen Dingzhu could hardly open her eyes. She was so sleepy.
"What did Dr. Cen say? Your body..." Xiao Langyan's voice was too low for Shen Dingzhu to hear the next words clearly.
She came to her senses from her sleep, and replied in a hoarse voice: "Before leaving, Imperial Physician Cen guessed that I would be punished, so he gave me a bottle of medicine to take with me."
On the other side of the wall, Xiao Langyan breathed a sigh of relief. He sat cross-legged on the couch, his cold eyes looking even more handsome because of the removal of his luxurious clothes.
After thinking about it, Xiao Langyan pursed his lips and asked, "I asked you if you still feel pain, why didn't you answer?"
Over there, Shen Dingzhu had no response. Xiao Langyan frowned slightly, walked to the wall and called twice: "Shen Dingzhu? Shen Dingzhu!"
Still no one answered.
Considering her physical condition, Xiao Langyan immediately walked to the door, and the imperial guards outside hurriedly stopped her: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has ordered that you are not allowed to go out."
Xu Shou, who was waiting outside, hurriedly came over and said, "If the prince has anything to do, just ask your servant to take care of it."
"Go next door and check on Shen Dingzhu. Has she fainted again? If so, call the imperial doctor over immediately!" Xiao Langyan urged coldly.
Xu Shou quickly went to the yard next door.
Compared to Xiao Langyan, there were only four people guarding Shen Dingzhu, as well as an honest little palace maid. After Xu Shou explained his purpose, the imperial army asked him to go to the door of the house to take a look.
"Aunt Shen? Are you taking a rest?" Xu Shou called several times, but received no response.
He frowned and hesitated, and after a moment, he said to the guarding imperial guards: "Let's open the door and make sure. Aunt Shen is not in good health. The emperor only said that she would be imprisoned for a thorough investigation, but he did not say that she would lose her life."
The Imperial Guards looked at each other, and one of them took out the key and opened the door.
Xu Shou did not go in, but just looked around and saw that Shen Dingzhu's delicate figure had returned to the wooden couch, wrapped in a quilt and seemed to be asleep.
He was worried that he would not be able to report back to the prince, so he asked the maid to go in to confirm.
The little palace maid stepped carefully, and pushed her gently beside Shen Dingzhu: "Aunt, Aunt Shen?"
Shen Dingzhu frowned, hummed, turned over, and then wrapped himself in the quilt tightly.
The little palace maid saw her pink face and peach cheeks, with an abnormal blush on her face, so she boldly stretched out her hand and put it against her forehead. Suddenly, she was shocked!
"It's so hot." The little palace maid returned to the door, lowered her head and said, "Aunt Shen is probably sick and has a high fever."
Xu Shou's expression changed: "Please call the imperial doctor quickly."
The imperial guards immediately stopped him: "Without the emperor's edict, you are not allowed to move around at will. Please don't embarrass us, Eunuch Xu."
Xu Shou returned to Xiao Langyan anxiously and reported truthfully. Xiao Langyan frowned coldly.
He reminded Xu Shou: "Shen Dingzhu has a bottle of medicine on him. Let the maid find it and feed her one pill."
What Dr. Cen gave me should be fine.
Xu Shou hurriedly followed the instructions, ran back and forth for a long time, and finally reported back to Xiao Langyan: "I watched the little palace maid feed the medicine with my own eyes."
Xiao Langyan then closed his cold eyes again and rested against the low couch.
Xu Shou looked at the stab wound on his arm, bandaged it roughly, and asked with some worry: "Your Majesty, do you want me to ask the emperor for instructions at this time? Maybe we can invite the imperial doctor."
Xiao Langyan's thin lips moved slightly: "Don't go now. It's a critical moment. No one can guarantee whether the person you invited is an imperial doctor or someone who wants our lives."
Xu Shou's heart became cold and he immediately understood what Xiao Langyan meant. He nodded and said, "I understand."
Shen Dingzhu slept for a long time. During this period, she felt hot and uncomfortable in her body. Doctor Cen said that Miao Du would not be cleaned so cleanly.
Even if the poison is detoxified, you will still feel uncomfortable for two or three days, feeling like your whole body is on fire, which is very unbearable.
"Water, water..." Shen Dingzhu closed his eyes and called hoarsely.
The strange thing was that she seemed to hear Xiao Langyan's voice in her ears: "She wants to drink water."
After a while, someone pushed the door open and came in: "Aunt Shen, the water is here."
Shen Dingzhu opened his eyes in confusion and saw clearly that the person standing opposite was a thin palace maid.
She lowered her head and drank the refreshing tea brought by the little palace maid, but she was confused in her heart——
Wasn't it Xiao Langyan's voice that I heard just now?
He seemed to be standing next to her. Could it be that she was hallucinating?
After the little maid left, she closed the door again.
Shen Dingzhu lay down again, and through the closed window, he found that the night was deep outside, and it turned out that it was already evening.
"Shen Dingzhu?" Xiao Langyan's voice came again, "Are you awake?"
This time, she suddenly woke up with a pair of round eyes, darting around.
It's really Xiao Langyan's voice, and it's very close!
"My lord...are you hiding in this house?"
