Shen Dingzhu was confused. The ghost doctor couldn't even take a look at it?
Or maybe Xiao Langyan didn't want more people to know about his illness.
The strange feeling in her heart became deeper and deeper. Shen Dingzhu always felt that there was something strange, but he couldn't figure it out.
She asked the ghost doctor to get on the carriage and take him out of the palace.
Xiao Xincheng also woke up, and with a sweet mouth, she invited the ghost doctor to follow her and stay at Shen's house for a few days.
The ghost doctor was old and looked at Xiao Xincheng as if he were his own granddaughter. He smiled and agreed within a few seconds.
After returning to Shen's Mansion, Xuan Jiajun helped carry Shen Dingzhu's things. Shen Dingzhu led her daughter inside, and before taking two steps, she met her mother and her sister-in-law.
They were talking about the second brother Shen Dingzhu.
"I just got back and I have to go to Yuzhou again. I left in such a hurry that I didn't even get everything. Look, I left all the seasonal clothes I prepared for him."
The elder sister-in-law comforted Shen's mother: "Mom, don't worry. I'll ask my husband to send his servants on horseback to chase him. The second brother can't go far. He may have just left the city gate."
When they saw Shen Dingzhu face to face, they were not surprised. Xiao Langyan had sent a letter home yesterday about the news that she was going home.
Mother Shen was particularly worried about Xiao Langyan's condition: "How is the Emperor?"
Shen Dingzhu smiled: "It's nothing, I just need a good rest. He was afraid that Chengcheng and I would be worried, so he asked me to take the child back to my parents' house to stay for a while."
Xiao Xingche was too young to go back and forth, so he stayed in the palace. Shen Dingzhu kept Xiucui and Chunxi to serve his son with his wet nurse.
Hearing this, Mother Shen nodded slightly, looking relieved.
"Fortunately, nothing happened, but Pearl, you can't stay in the house for too long. The emperor is ill and there is no one to support you. How can you do this?"
This was Shen Dingzhu's plan. She stayed in Shen's mansion for two or three days, settled her daughter, and left her parents to take care of her. After that, she returned to the palace.
Of course she couldn't rest assured that she couldn't be by Xiao Langyan's side.
She remembered what she had just heard: "Did the second brother leave again?"
"Yeah, I'm really anxious. As soon as I came back, I said I had to pack my bags. I was sent to Yuzhou, and I said I wouldn't be able to come back for half a year. Tell me about him. Why is he so anxious? The emperor can't be the one driving him away. ?”
Shen Dingzhu said subconsciously: "No, the emperor has always been considerate of our family. I am afraid that the second brother feels that he owes the emperor, so he wants to do something practical to repay him immediately."
She took the bundle of clothes and said, "I will take the Xuanjia Army to chase her. Mother, you don't have to worry."
Mother Shen didn't think much about it. She took Xiao Xincheng's hand and accompanied her to the backyard.
Shen Dingzhu turned around and asked Xuan Jiajun to prepare the carriage immediately. Her moist black eyes were filled with doubts.
If Xiao Langyan's attitude makes sense, it must be strange for her second brother to be in a hurry to take office at this time.
Based on Shen Dingzhu's understanding of her second brother Shen You, Shen You would definitely stay in the capital during the period when Xiao Langyan was injured. She would not feel relieved to take up the post until she heard that Xiao Langyan's health had improved.
Her second brother is a person with a strong sense of responsibility and will not leave in a hurry at this time.
The carriage galloped all the way, and the Xuanjia Army opened the way. Under the gloomy sky, it seemed as if a storm was coming, and there were not many pedestrians on the street.
Shen Dingzhu's carriage was like a passing black shadow, leaving only the sound of vibrating horseshoes and wheels.
Just as they passed the city gate, they saw Shen You's carriage, and Shen Dingzhu ordered: "Stop him."
The horse-riding Xuanjia Army suddenly stopped Shen You's carriage like black wind.
Shen You lifted the curtain and saw Shen Dingzhu getting off the carriage, a look of embarrassment flashed across his elegant and handsome face.
"Little sister..."
"Second brother, even if you take office, why do you have to leave so fast and in such a hurry? You didn't even take the clothes my mother brought for you. I hurriedly brought them to you."
As Shen Dingzhu spoke, he calmly got on Shen You's carriage and sat opposite him.
Her pair of black eyes with extremely beautiful outlines were filled with a mist-like frost color. Shen You's eyebrows were a little heavy, and his beard was still green, which was not like his usual style.
"Thank you, little sister. I'm really in a hurry to leave. Please bring a message to my mother for me. I will step down in half a year and return to Beijing immediately."
Shen Dingzhu nodded and pursed his red lips. Xiao Langyan's aura of pampering her with wealth and honor for many years suddenly came out, making the beauty's features look even darker.
"Second brother, I think you owe me an explanation. What happened in Jizhou? What disease did the emperor get?"
Shen You's heart skipped a beat and he raised his head, his expression forced to be calm and calm, but the complexity in his eyes betrayed him.
"It's a cold syndrome. The emperor caught a cold after falling into the water, and his body has not recovered for a long time."
"Second brother lied!" Shen Dingzhu suddenly became sharp, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her beaded hair made her beauty more dignified and majestic, "Xiao Langyan is my husband, and you are my second brother. He knows that I care about my family, so when the crisis comes At that time, I gave you the first chance to escape."
Shen You lowered his head in shame. Before he could react, Xiao Langyan pushed him onto the horse.
Shen Dingzhu's voice had an imperceptible tremor: "After the second brother came back, not only did he not tell me the truth, he was also in a hurry to leave the capital. Is it because he was afraid that he would not meet me? My husband was injured while saving you, and I want to Do you know what kind of injury he suffered, what happened, and why neither you nor Xiao Langyan dare to really face me!"
Shen You closed his eyes, his pained expression no longer concealable, he leaned against the car wall and sighed.
"Little sister...it's not that I didn't tell you, but the emperor gave us an order not to let us tell you, so as not to worry you, and not to let the news get out, so as not to cause turmoil in the government and the public."
"So what's wrong with him? Is he dying? Or is he suffering from some emergency? Tell me, tell me!" Shen Dingzhu was anxious, his eyes filled with red.
Shen You opened his eyes, and for the first time, Mr. Shen, who had always been calm and composed, showed a look of sadness.
"The emperor's leg is injured. It's a serious injury. If it can't be cured, maybe... maybe he won't be able to stand up again."
Boom——
There was rolling thunder in the sky, as if it was going to rain heavily.
This voice also hit Shen Dingzhu's heart. Her beautiful eyes were stunned, and her pretty palm-sized face lost all color in an instant.
After Shen Yu talked, she realized that it turned out that Xiao Langyan was swept away by the torrent, and he did not survive by hugging the tree as he said.
Instead, he was washed into the mud downstream. By the time the imperial guards and secret guards found him, he was already unconscious.
The knee of his right leg was pierced by a broken piece of wood as long as a baby's arm for at least two hours.
Imperial Physician Cen and several of the accompanying imperial physicians felt that it was difficult. Not only could it not be cured, but the emperor's left knee also had varying degrees of abrasions and valgus flesh.
This is not an injury that time can heal.
Instead, he might not be able to stand up for the rest of his life. The imperial doctor who knew this was going through medical books just to find ancient prescriptions to treat Xiao Langyan's legs.
However, nothing has been found so far.
Therefore, Xiao Langyan let her go because he was afraid that she would know the truth.
Shen You held his forehead in pain: "The emperor said that if there is really no hope of treatment for him after one month, he will abdicate the throne to the prince, and he will listen to politics from behind, but he cannot let the courtiers and the world know that he has become one by one……"
Shen You really couldn't say the word useless person. He felt extremely regretful and wished he had been hurt.
Shen Dingzhu felt dizzy in his head and his ears were ringing frequently.
She stretched out her hand to hold the car wall, and it took a while for her to slow down. Her face was as pale as a ghost.
"In this case, you can't leave!" Shen Dingzhu forced herself to calm down, and tears flowed unconsciously. When she found out, her face was covered with water stains.
She said firmly: "Second brother, take the ghost doctor and me into the palace now! I want to hear and see with my own ears what is going on with his condition."
Shen You suddenly raised his head: "The emperor just doesn't want you to see him in such a mess, and he won't let you see his injuries when you enter the palace."
"Let me think of a way. He is my husband, and he is as important to me as you. I will never let him face this alone." Shen Dingzhu wiped away his tears and decisively asked Xuan Jiajun to turn the carriage around. Back to the city.
