Chapter 135(1/2)
Du Chengyue did not wait until two days later.
He took the plaster and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion again on the afternoon of the second day. At the door, he met Doctor Wang who had been ordered to come.
"I have met the Sixth Prince." Dr. Wang bowed his hands in salute.
"How is Miss Shen's condition?" Du Chengyue asked him.
"It's nothing serious." Doctor Wang replied, and then explained that he had to return to the palace to recover, and left in a hurry.
Du Chengyue continued to walk in, his eyes darkened slightly, and he was a little thoughtful.
Others only thought that the emperor valued Shen Zhaoxi. In fact, Du Ye was very suspicious, and Du Yuwei was also challenging the imperial power.
It has to be said that Shen Zhaoxi's move was a risky move, as it showed her determination to resist. Only in this way did he agree to take her out of Beijing.
Mrs. Xu and Shen Guang are not in the mansion. The old lady of the Shen family has been unwell for many years and is recuperating outside. Today, Mrs. Xu and Shen Guang went to visit, and Shen Zhaoxi's courtyard is also particularly clean.
When Du Chengyue came, Shen Zhaoxi was standing up. When he saw him walking in, he stopped and was a little surprised: "Sixth brother?"
Du Chengyue's eyes were filled with tenderness: "Are you feeling better today?"
"The medicine you gave me is much better than the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor." Shen Zhaoxi replied.
She only took two pills, and the discomfort in her body was relieved a lot. However, the medicine he gave her has always been effective. However, in her previous life, she was already sick and unable to recover.
Du Chengyue looked at her somewhat bloody face and felt relieved: "That's good." He saw the medicine left by Dr. Wang aside, took it over, opened it and smelled it.
"This is the plaster that my aunt asked Dr. Wang to bring over. It can eliminate scars." Shen Zhaoxi said, looking down at his hands.
It is estimated that no one came to see her in the past two days, so she was simply not wrapped in gauze.
Du Chengyue looked at the conspicuous scabs on her fair and tender skin and handed her a bottle of medicine: "Apply it twice a day for twenty days."
Shen Zhaoxi reached out to take it and said softly: "I had no strength at that time. I just wanted to survive and wake up if it hurts. I just didn't expect the cut to be so deep."
Du Chengyue felt unhappy after hearing this, and didn't know how to comfort him.
When she leaves Beijing, she can live a cautious life without having to compromise so much.
He didn't want her to become a pawn in the struggle for imperial power, he didn't want her to be plotted against, and his desire to take her away from the capital became stronger.
Shen Zhaoxi did not feel sorry for himself. He looked at him and said with a smile, "Sixth brother, are you free? Play a game of chess with me."
Du Chengyue nodded.
It was a sunny day today, and Shen Zhaoxi had been bored in the house for a long time, so he set up a chessboard in the courtyard and played chess with Du Chengyue.
In a daze, it seemed like I was back in my days in Jingzhou.
She lived in Zhuxin Pavilion in Prince Qing's Mansion. When Du Chengyue had free time, he would come to her courtyard to talk poetry, paint, or play chess with her.
Today's chess game was very gentle. After a stick of incense, the winner had not yet been determined. Shen Zhaoxi frowned, holding the white piece between his uninjured fingers, and stared at it for a long time.
Finally, one piece fell.
Du Chengyue chuckled softly, and followed behind him.
Shen Zhaoxi smiled triumphantly, and quickly said, "You fell into a trap, and you missed a step——"
Before she could finish her words, Du Chengyue's sunspots decided her chances of winning. He looked at her confused expression and raised his thin lips.
"Since you let me go, why don't you let me go to the end?" Shen Zhaoxi held Bai Zi in his hands and looked at him with a pout, "My happiness was in vain."
Before she finished speaking, Du Chengyue reached forward and took back the sunspot that had just fallen.
Shen Zhaoxi felt that he was too bullying, so he blurted out: "You have gone too far!"
Du Chengyue saw her reaction was even greater, holding the sunspot between her legs, neither going down nor going down, observing her expression.
"Get off there." Shen Zhaoxi pointed to a useless place and asked naturally.
Du Chengyue really put the sunspot down there and looked up at her.
Shen Zhaoxi's willow eyebrows were curved, and he was making arrangements with the white pieces in his hands.
When picking incense and early autumn came, Shen Zhaoxi gave birth to his last son.
"Miss has won." Caixiang's eyes were full of admiration, and her voice could not suppress her excitement, "Miss has won the sixth prince!"
The Sixth Prince is not in good health, but his chess skills are not inferior, which shows that their ladies are better than the Sixth Prince.
"Miss, you are so amazing." Chu Qiu even praised Shen Zhaoxi without thinking, making Shen Zhaoxi's face turn red.
Shen Zhaoxi glanced at Du Chengyue from the corner of his eye.
There was a slight smile on his lips, and he didn't seem to feel embarrassed. He even said, "Xi'er is a master of chess, and I'm willing to be the loser."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Zhaoxi raised her eyes and glared at him.
Isn't this intentional?
Du Chengyue lowered his eyes, with a look of joy in his eyes.
It was getting late, so Shen Zhaoxi got up and saw Du Chengyue out. When he was at the door, he stopped her, turned around and said to her: "Take a good rest, and I'll see you again in a few days."
"What day is it?" Shen Zhaoxi was bored staying in this mansion and asked him.
Du Chengyue twitched the corners of her lips: "Tomorrow."
Shen Zhaoxi: "When is tomorrow?"
She didn't get a clear answer.
After Du Chengyue left, Shen Zhaoxi was thinking about another question.
Du Chengyue visited her so frequently. If the Shen family and others knew about it, would it have any negative impact?
After all, many people are staring at her and trying to make something out of her.
Shen Zhaoxi did not expect that Du Chengyue would not take the usual route. She did not see him coming all day long. She was worried and wondered if he had broken his promise, so he climbed over the wall and entered her boudoir late at night.
"There are so many informants out there that I can't come here often." Du Chengyue explained to her, his words a little offensive. He stood tall and stood not far from her.
If others become suspicious, it will be detrimental to her.
"Are we still so divided between you and me?" Shen Zhaoxi smiled and walked over to pour him tea. Du Chengyue went to take the teapot and said, "I'll do it myself."
Shen Zhaoxi thought to himself and said: "It's best to stay away. I'm afraid I'll drag you into the water. Who will take me out of Beijing then? I will depend on you for the rest of my life."
After saying this, Du Chengyue looked a little strange.
Shen Zhaoxi's original intention was to say that whether he could escape from the sea of fire and live a free and comfortable life depends on his rescue. At this time, it was too late to shut up, and ambiguity arose for a while.
She had long sensed the change between the two of them. When did it start?
Was it the time when he jumped into the lake without hesitation, rescued her back to the shore, and asked her to hold on? Or was it the time when he saw that her hand was injured, fed her Yu Ning Pills and touched her lips? Or was it the time when they were playing chess, he That time when he took back the sunspot that had fallen in a serious manner and let her go openly?
Du Chengyue sat down, with a gentle expression on her face, without any retort, and raised her hand, gesturing for her to extend her hand.
Shen Zhaoxi put his palms up on the table.
His cool fingertips touched her pulse point with gentle movements. Shen Zhaoxi stared at his delicate face and said, "Brother Six, how many things about you do others not know?"
How can someone who knows how to see a doctor, is good at swimming, and doesn't have any boxing skills break into the prime minister's house in the middle of the night?
Du Chengyue's expression did not change, and she retracted her hand: "You still have to recover for a while, and your energy and blood are insufficient. Have you taken the medicine I asked you to take on time?"
Shen Zhaoxi: "You deliberately changed the topic, and I won't tell you."
He wasn't angry either. He looked at her with dark eyes and said in a low and clear voice, "Xier, you know what others don't know."
From the moment he went into the water to rescue her and entered the prime minister's house late at night, he had already exposed himself.
Shen Zhaoxi choked on his words for a moment.
yes.
She knows things that others don't know.
"Take medicine well and your body will recover faster." Du Chengyue said again.
"I took today's medicine and applied the plaster." After Shen Zhaoxi finished speaking, he raised his hand and said, "The plaster smells very bad. Didn't Sixth Brother smell the strange smell on my hands just now?"
"I smell it." Du Chengyue smiled warmly, "It doesn't smell bad."
Shen Zhaoxi found the smell unpleasant, so he raised his delicate hands and smelled it under his nose: "When you picked the incense and put it on me, I wanted to pinch the tip of my nose. Can the smell of the plaster you give me next time be softened? ?”
She didn't dare to apply it during the day as it would affect her appetite.
Du Chengyue: "Don't get hurt next time, or you won't be able to use it again."
Shen Zhaoxi sighed. This was not something she could decide. She put her hand on her chin and said, "Sixth brother will come to see me next time, so you can take me out for a walk? I don't know what the night in the capital is like yet."
During the Lantern Festival, there would be a lantern festival in the capital, but she had been accompanying Queen Shen in the palace in those years. Even Shen Yuan could hold a lantern festival with Xu's nephew, but she could only be in the Prime Minister's Mansion or the palace.
It's like going from one prison to another.
Moreover, Shen Guang had given the order to die. During this period, the food cooked for her in the kitchen was tasteless. He wished that she could be nursed back to health quickly and then sent to Queen Shen.
Her health has been restored, and the marriage will be put on the agenda soon. She is like an object, and everyone is rushing to donate it.
Du Chengyue: "You want to leave the house at night?"
"Yes." Shen Zhaoxi nodded, asking him with expectation in his eyes, and added, "I want to see the capital at night."
