When the Queen's birthday banquet ended, it was already halfway through Xu Shi. After a day of socializing, Situ Ce looked a little tired. The car stopped outside the palace, and Li Ping helped him get into the sedan chair.
"Your Highness, I have already ordered the water room to boil hot water in advance. Do you want to wash up first, or rest for a while before washing up?" Su Junruo followed the sedan chair and asked softly.
"There are still things that have not been resolved." Situ Ce said calmly.
"Anyway, everyone has been detained. It won't be too late to try again tomorrow." Su Junruo advised, "It won't be good if you hurt your body."
Hearing this, Situ Ce couldn't help but look at her, feeling a little funny. He shook his head helplessly and said nothing.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Junruo couldn't say anything else.
Before the sedan carriage reached Mingde Hall, Situ Ce saw a group of people holding lanterns coming towards him from a distance. When they saw him, they knelt down and saluted.
"What are you doing, Feng Feng Huo Huo?" Situ Ce asked with a frown.
"Back to Your Highness, Fu Qingchu had a tryst with a man in the garden. I have locked the two of them in Shunyang Pavilion and asked Your Highness to go down." Chen Liru said.
"What?" Situ Ce didn't believe his ears, "What did Fu Qingchu do?"
"Fu had an affair with a man in the early Qing Dynasty and was locked up in Shunyang Pavilion by his ministers."
Situ Ce felt a severe pain in his temples, and couldn't help but said angrily: "You are so brave!"
Everyone was confused. It was Fu Qingchu who had the affair, so why were they the ones being scolded?
"Go to Shunyang Pavilion!"
After hearing the order, the bearer hurriedly walked to Shunyang Pavilion. Chen Liru and others could only trot to keep up.
"Open the door!"
Situ Ce's eyes were full of suppressed anger. He was so frightened that the little eunuch's hands shaking when opening the lock were unable to open it for a long time. Situ Ce was so angry that he kicked him to the ground. Li Ping hurriedly picked up the key on the ground. Leave the door open.
As soon as the door opened, Situ Ce smelled the smell of blood. In the darkness, he saw a figure struggling to get up. He hurriedly stepped forward and supported Fu Qingchu, who was kneeling on the ground.
Fu Qingchu grabbed his sleeve tightly, breathless, "Your Highness, save me..."
Feeling her hot body, Situ Ce screamed inwardly, picked her up, turned around and walked out.
Su Junruo looked at the mess in the room and couldn't help but curl her lips. She stepped forward and looked at Shen Zhuo, who was disheveled and lying in a pool of blood, "Someone come and see if he's dead?"
He stepped forward and took a breath, "Go back to Si Gui, no."
"Wake the person up, tie him up and wait."
After saying that, he turned around and went out.
…
Situ Ce brought Fu Qingchu back to the bedroom. As soon as he put her on the bed, she rolled inside and pulled the quilt to cover herself tightly.
He looked at her with a worried look on his face and stretched out his hand to help her pull away, but she held on tightly and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Don't touch me!"
"You should show your head at least." He said worriedly.
Fu Qingchu, however, still hid under the quilt and remained silent.
Situ Ce was helpless. In the blink of an eye, he saw Li Ping still standing aside, and became even more angry, "What are you still doing standing here? Call the doctor quickly!"
"I've called you. I've called you." Li Ping was frightened.
Situ Ce punched the cotton, and he couldn't help but yell: "Get out!"
Li Ping was so frightened that he backed away and took away the palace servants waiting on his left and right.
After a while, the imperial doctor Gu Anning arrived. Before he could salute, Situ Ce said: "No courtesy, come here quickly."
Gu Anning hurriedly took out the pulse pillow, but Fu Qingchu refused to stretch out his hand. Situ Ce sat on the edge of the bed and coaxed softly: "Good boy, stretch out your hand, and the imperial doctor will take a look at it."
Fu Qingchu hesitated for a long time, and then stretched out his hand. Gu Anning looked at the deep and shallow cut on that hand and couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air. He quickly put a silk scarf on her wrist and helped her to diagnose her pulse.
Situ Ce watched from the side, anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to rush him. He finally waited for Gu Anning to finish checking his pulse and asked hurriedly: "How is it?"
Gu Anning glanced at him, a little embarrassed to speak, and thought carefully, "This..."
"What?" Situ Ce asked with a frown.
Gu Anning stood up and walked aside. Situ Ce also followed, "Is there an antidote?"
"If you are poisoned by this kind of poison, unless...otherwise...I can't do anything." Gu Anning looked embarrassed. Seeing Situ Ce's livid face, he cautiously said, "I'll prescribe some medicine to dissipate heat and detoxify, maybe it can relieve the pain." two."
"Relieve a little or two?" Situ Ce looked at him in disbelief, "Then what do I need from you?"
Gu Anning was so frightened that she immediately knelt down, "Your Highness, even Zhang Zhangyuan's visit has not been able to cure this poison. The only way to cure it is... detoxification and heat dissipation are the most feasible methods."
Situ Ce turned his eyes and looked at the person struggling on the bed, his brows furrowed deeper, "Hurry up and make a prescription. Stay in the East Palace tonight. You are not allowed to leave without my will."
Gu Anning felt like she was being pardoned and hurriedly collected her medicine box and left. When she came out, she met Li Ping and asked, "What's going on with that girl in the house?"
"Don't want the head anymore? Don't ask blindly if you're not supposed to know." Li Ping said calmly.
"No, the poisoning is too deep. If I can't control it, I'm afraid of sudden death. I thought if she was His Highness's concubine..."
Hearing this, Li Ping also frowned, "Let me tell your highness." Li Ping said, remembering that there was another person in Shunyang Pavilion, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he asked, "Where is the man who was poisoned?"
"You want to drug His Highness? I don't want to kill you!"
Li Ping: "..."
…
Fu Qingchu drank the medicine, and Situ Ce called the female doctor to clean her wounds, bathe and change clothes, while he avoided it. Li Ping stood beside him, thinking for a while before speaking carefully, "Your Highness, Doctor Gu said that the girl was too poisoned. If If the antidote is too slow, I am afraid of sudden death. In my opinion..."
"Eunuch Li, are you asking His Highness to detoxify that despicable maid?" Su Junruo had been waiting outside for a long time, and she was afraid that Situ Ce would really do this. She said with a serious face: "Your Highness's body of ten thousand gold, how can that despicable maid get her hands on it? "
Hearing this, Li Ping looked back at Su Junruo with a displeased expression, and said with a cold face: "Su Sigui is a girl, but after hearing this, she doesn't avoid being suspicious, and she still comes out to cause trouble? Which family's rules are these to teach you like this?" Shameless?"
Su Junruo suddenly blushed with embarrassment and knelt down in front of Situ Ce. "Your Highness, I only think about Your Highness. I can't bear to be humiliated like this. I...I might as well just hit him to death!" , stood up and hit the pillar beside him.
Everyone hurriedly held Su Junruo back. Su Junruo was still seeking death and survival. Situ Ce became even more irritated when he heard that, "That's enough!"
Su Junruo hurriedly stopped crying and wiped her tears aggrievedly.
Situ Ce looked at her condescendingly, "What are you doing? How do you want me to explain that you died here?"
Su Junruo looked at him blankly, not understanding what he meant. Then she heard someone opening the door and coming out, "Your Highness, the girl said that it might be better if she took a dip in cold water."
Situ Ce turned to look at Gu Anning. Gu Anning cupped her hands and said, "If the girl can bear it, she can take a medicinal bath."
"Go and get ready." Situ Ce said and glanced at Su Junruo on the ground, "You should go back and rest earlier."
…
It was three days later when Fu Qingchu finally woke up. She looked at the yellow tent roof and didn't know where she was for a moment. She stood up and heard someone walking over.
"Sister, you finally woke up." Lu Man sat beside the bed with a look of joy on her face and reached out to touch her forehead, "Just don't burn it."
"How long have I been asleep?"
"Three days." Lu Man sighed, "Originally, the poison has been cured, but you soaked in cold water for too long and got cold again. The high fever persists, which makes His Highness worried."
"Where is your highness?"
"I went to Chongwen Museum and may come back later."
Fu Qingchu nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly thought of something, "I have left some manuscript papers in Shunyang Pavilion. Go and look for them for me."
If those things had been taken away by Su Junruo, she might have destroyed them long ago after so many days.
"His Highness asked Shunyang Pavilion to be cleaned. Even if there is something, His Highness probably kept it. Sister, don't worry." Lu Man said harmoniously.
Hearing this, Fu Qingchu felt relieved. Suddenly he thought of Shen Zhuo and asked worriedly: "Shen Zhuo...how will Your Highness deal with him?"
"Oh sister, how long has it been, and you are still worried about that man!" Lu Man said, getting very angry, "He should be cut to pieces!"
"I..." Fu Qingchu didn't know what to say for a while, "He is also a witness. How did His Highness deal with it?"
"He was detoxified and locked up in the Chongwen Hall for people to watch." Lu Man said with an unhappy look on his face, "He almost killed you, but you still remember him!"
Fu Qingchu sighed. She was really scared to death that night, and she also killed Shen Zhuo. She didn't know how injured he was. But it was hard for her to ask this question.
"Okay, let's not mention him anymore. Do you want to go back, or are you going to wait here for His Highness to come back?"
"Where is this?"
"His Royal Highness's palace," Lu Man's face glowed with excitement as he said this, "Sister, I think His Highness's nervousness towards you is a bit too much."
"Ah?" Fu Qingchu looked confused, then thought for a while and said, "It may be related to the chastity of my daughter's family. Your Highness, please be considerate of me."
"No matter how considerate you are, you won't even go to the Chongwen Museum, right? I brought the memorials and read them over. You went to the Chongwen Museum after your high fever subsided this morning."
Fu Qingchu didn't know what to say for a while. He just felt his heart warm and unconsciously pursed his lips and smiled.
Seeing this, Lu Man quickly joked: "Oh my, I'm afraid His Highness will not only marry the Crown Princess, but also a Liangdi, right?"
Hearing this, the smile on Fu Qingchu's lips turned into helplessness. He knew that this girl would reject anything he said to her, so he said, "Have you forgotten my identity?"
She is the daughter of a guilty minister and can only be the prince's slave. She cannot be his woman. Even if the prince intends to take over the house, the officials will not agree.
Moreover, what if two people in this world are happy? She and Shen Zhuo hadn't gone from falling in love at first sight to where they are today. Things were unpredictable, and love affairs were even more unpredictable.
Speaking of this, Luman couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, OK, OK."
Fu Qingchu couldn't help but laugh, "Don't talk nonsense in the future. Others may hear what they say about me."
Green Man pursed his lips and said, "Okay, okay, okay."
