The stern look on Wei Wan's face suddenly faded and turned into that decent look again.
Shen Dingzhu watched Xiu Cui walk in with her luggage on her back, dusty and dusty. Her temperament had always been reserved and peaceful, but when she saw Wei Wan, even Xiu Cui's eyes became sharp.
She glanced at Wei Wan up and down, then stood in front of Shen Dingzhu's couch, separating the two.
Wei Wan explained with a smile: "Miss Xiucui, I just wanted to check the Queen's pulse."
Xiucui's eyes were cold: "When I just came in, I heard that the emperor did not allow you to go near the house of the empress. Doctor Wei, why are you still standing there? Should you go, or do you want me to tell the emperor?"
Wei Wan frowned secretly, looked past Xiucui and glanced at Shen Dingzhu.
"My slave, please leave." She bowed, walked out, and closed the door.
Only then did Xiucui put down her baggage and knelt on the footrest, crying and holding Shen Dingzhu's hand: "Mother, I'm late. During the days when you are away, I, Shen Bi, Chunxi and the others are all here." Very impatient."
When Shen Dingzhu saw her, it was like seeing his own family. The bitterness and suffering of the past few days turned into tears in his eyes.
"Xiucui..." she cried and hugged her loyal servant, "I heard you would come before, so I was looking forward to it, but just now I only saw Dr. Cen and not you. I was still wondering if you wouldn't come. , it’s good to see you now.”
The master and the servant burst into tears, Xiucui wiped her tears.
She said softly: "It's all my fault that the slave is useless. The carriage ran too fast. The slave vomited twice due to the fatigue of the carriage. Doctor Cen and others rushed to deliver the medicine. The emperor was afraid that something might happen to you, so he urged you in a hurry. The guards whipped their whips. It’s round.”
"Later, Dr. Cen saw that the slave's face was sallow due to vomiting, so he asked the slave to rest for a night at the inn in the lower city, and then the slave came after him again."
Shen Dingzhu held her hand distressedly: "It's my fault, I've tired you."
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty! This slave wants to serve you, but I can't even ask for it. This time the emperor ordered the slave to come over. Shen Bi and Chun Xi were envious. Before setting off, Shen Bi kept mumbling that they must send their slaves to you. Bring the letter."
With that said, Xiucui turned to open the baggage, and there was indeed a pile of letters inside.
"This belongs to Shen Bi and Chun Xi, this belongs to the abbot and uncle, and this is the little tiger hat of His Highness the Crown Prince. Although His Highness the Crown Prince is small, he is actually extremely smart. After you left, he seemed to know everything. Like, when the wet nurse carries him to your Phoenix Palace, he will pull off his hat and put it on your Phoenix couch."
This tiger hat was sewn by Shen Dingzhu himself for the child when he was in the palace. Although Xiao Xingche was young, he knew how to express himself with things.
The child just misses his mother.
Shen Dingzhu's slender palms hurriedly held the little tiger hat in his arms, lowered his head and smelled it, and it seemed that there was still the milky fragrance of his little son.
Her tears kept falling: "It's me who is incompetent as a mother."
Xiucui quickly comforted her: "Isn't it better now? The emperor has come to see you and has calmed down. If you say something softer, we can return to Beijing together after the baby is born."
Shen Dingzhu choked but did not answer.
At this time, she remembered something and looked at the baggage with tearful eyes: "Did Chengcheng ask you to bring me something?"
Xiucui's smile paused, lowered her head, and sighed.
"The little princess is also waiting for the queen to return. Shen Bi said that she has a temperament like the emperor. She never sticks to what she says in the letter. In fact, she misses the queen."
In fact, Xiao Xincheng was sad. She felt that Shen Dingzhu didn't want her anymore.
Before Xiucui set off, Xiao Xincheng's eyes were filled with tears, but he still stubbornly refused to cry in public.
She only had one cold word, asking Xiucui to bring it to Shen Dingzhu.
"If mother doesn't come back, I will take my brother with me and never want her again."
Xiucui naturally didn't dare to tell Shen Dingzhu this, for fear that she would be sad, but how could Shen Dingzhu not guess it?
Her daughter has always been clingy, and the little guy has reached a sensible age. Her leaving without saying goodbye probably made her heartbroken.
Xiucui was thoughtful and noticed that her mood was wrong, so she thought about it and said, "But, my dear, you don't know how much the little princess is partial to you."
"As you saw just now, Wei Wan is a restless person. She took advantage of the opportunity of donating medicine to please the emperor several times. Shen Bi scolded her when he saw her. She could also greet Shen Bi with a smile. This shows the depth of the city. "
"But our little princess didn't accept her troubles. She fell into the lake several times. She didn't dare to say anything even though she was wronged. Madam, the princess is facing you. Your Highness the Crown Prince has also reached the age of babbling. How can you do this this time? You have to go back well."
After Xiucui finished speaking, she didn't wait for Shen Dingzhu to answer. She knew that Shen Dingzhu knew it well.
And she quickly started to help Shen Dingzhu tidy up the house and arrange it neatly.
At night, A Liang was responsible for delivering food, and Xiucui waited for Shen Dingzhu to take it. Xiao Langyan did not come, and Xiucui helped explain: "The emperor Cen is going to give the emperor acupuncture. Whenever this happens, the emperor will feel pain." If you can't get off the bed, these slaves only heard what Chen Heng said, and the emperor usually doesn't allow it to be spread."
Shen Dingzhu's beautiful face looked a little sad.
Xiucui added: "The emperor loved the empress very much. When he received the anonymous letter informing the empress where she was, the emperor was entertaining the ministers. But after reading the letter, he decisively abandoned the ministers and set off with his people that night. .”
"That's why the emperor left in a hurry. Doctor Cen couldn't catch up with him, and he didn't even bring any medicine. Now he's fine. The empress can rest assured to raise the baby, and the emperor is treating his leg not far away. By the time he returns to Beijing, everyone is almost fine. ”
Xiucui deliberately comforted Shen Dingzhu, and her words were beautiful and very comforting.
But Shen Dingzhu was worried about Xiao Langyan's illness: "Has Imperial Physician Cen ever said when will the Emperor be free from punishment?"
Xiucui smiled: "The empress does care about the emperor. Doctor Cen said that it takes time for bones and flesh to grow together. From taking medicine to exercising, the emperor is very strict with himself, so he heals faster than ordinary people. I think it should be done It won’t be long.”
Shen Dingzhu nodded slightly and murmured: "That's good."
At this time, Mr. Shi came. Before he went to bed, he felt that he should come and see Shen Dingzhu. Today, a group of people came to the mansion. Mr. Shi was worried and simply came to take a look.
Xiucui quickly and respectfully welcomed him in, moved a stool for him to sit and talk.
at the same time.
In the room where Xiao Langyan lived, Dr. Cen had just finished acupuncture. Xiao Langyan was sweating profusely in pain, but he didn't even groan during the process.
Dr. Cen released some congestion: "The emperor's leg healed quickly, but we must also be careful not to be too aggressive, lest it backfires."
Xiao Langyan's stern face had a hint of laziness. Even though his sword eyebrows were slightly furrowed, his whole body showed his natural dignity.
The door opened, and it was Jing Yi who came to deliver the medicine. His tall figure walked in like a mountain, his footsteps were heavy, and he knelt on the ground and offered the medicine with both hands.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what my humble sister Wei Wan has done wrong. Do you want her to no longer serve the emperor?" Jing Yi's voice was dull, and his eyes were like tigers, locked on Xiao Langyan.
Xiao Langyan threw the white towel he used to wipe his sweat into the basin beside him.
He stood up, his deep face showing coldness: "Wei Wan is not suitable to stay with me. You should know what she is thinking. When I was treating patients before, I never let her get close. You also know why. "
Jing Yi lowered his head.
Xiao Langyan said again: "From now on, I will appoint you as the royal medicine man. You can make arrangements to send your sister back to the capital."
Wei Wan is here, I'm afraid Shen Dingzhu will have to think too much.
Jing Yi was stupid, so when he didn't know how to answer, he could only remain silent, and finally he resigned.
Back in the house, he conveyed Xiao Langyan's intention to Wei Wan.
Unexpectedly, after Wei Wan heard this, he immediately threw a cup of tea and his eyes were red with anger: "I will ask the emperor now. I have not offended the queen, why did he have to send me away!"
Jing Yi stopped her: "I told you a long time ago that Emperor Jin would not be able to accept you while Shen Dingzhu is here."
These days, Jing Yi watched Wei Wan devote all his enthusiasm, but Xiao Langyan looked at her like an ant that could be crushed at any time.
She was tortured almost crazy by her desire to get things, and Jing Yi also regretted accompanying her, so he persuaded her: "Princess, give up, let's go back to Changliu, I will protect you and the prince until we die in the battle." Last minute.”
Wei Wan shook his head decisively, threw away his hand, and walked to the dressing mirror with a gloomy expression.
"I won't just go back like this. I must get it. Jing Yi, what's the use of going back? My father hasn't received a letter for a month. The situation there must be not optimistic. There aren't many dandelions left. Now, we must let Xiao Langyan accept me before that, even if... he bites me..."
At first, she came to the Jin Dynasty really to help her father. If she could become the concubine of the Jin Emperor, the little emperor would not be in a hurry to kill her whole family, and she would be able to feel proud.
However, after staying with Xiao Langyan for a long time, she became more and more attracted by his decisiveness and strength. Women's natural desire for strength made her eager to turn this emperor into her own man.
The more she couldn't get, the more she wanted. She often asked herself, what was the difference between her and Shen Dingzhu?
It's just that she is not as beautiful as her, but Wei Wan asked himself that she is no less sincere than Shen Dingzhu.
Unfortunately, the more she thought about it, the less fruitful it became, and it almost drove her to lose her mind.
When Jing Yi heard her say such words, there was some compassion in his silent eyes.
Wei Wan came to her senses, she stepped forward and held Jing Yi's hand tightly: "Can you help me once? Help me one last time! Kill Shen Dingzhu, Jing Yi, I didn't ask you for anything, But this time, you must help me."
Jing Yi remained silent, his eyes flashing dimly.
"What if she dies and Emperor Jin doesn't accept you?"
"Then..." Wei Wan was confused, "Then I will consider returning to Changliu, or die here."
Hearing this, Jing Yi didn't speak again.
At the second watch of the night, a black figure avoided the patrolling guards with skill and agility, came to Shen Dingzhu's back window, and then pushed it gently and climbed in.
Jing Yi pulled out the dagger, and the gleaming blade reflected his cold tiger eyes.
He slowly approached the bed. The figure with her back to him was the woman Jin Emperor loved most. As long as she died, maybe Wei Wan would not be so tortured.
