188: Fishing in troubled waters

"I'm just looking at your wounds, why are you reacting so much?" Nalan Jinxiu pretended to be puzzled.

Shen Congqian still fed the fish with a calm demeanor, but sent Cuizhu down to do something else. When Cuizhu went out, she looked at Nalan Jinxiu and said with a smile: "The slave who has no long eyes has just offended the county lord, and I also ask the county lord to have a large number of them, don't be like her." ”

"I just wanted to see her hand, and she refused, so I wasn't offended. ”

"I don't know when the county lord became interested in Cuizhu's hand?"

Before Nalan Jinxiu could reply, Shen Congqian continued to say to himself: "What excuse for being injured to bluff people, does the county lord think I will believe it?"

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, Cuizhu's letter is enough. ”

Shen Congqian's calm expression finally had a crack, she lowered her head and smiled, but her tone was gloomy: "How did you find out?"

"It's very simple, no matter how similar the skin is, the eyes can't deceive people. "Nalan Jinxiu actually didn't determine that this Cuizhu was not the other Cuizhu until the moment he really held Cuizhu's hand. The hand of the green bamboo before, although it is not delicate, is different from this pair.

Shen Congqian raised his eyebrows: "Oh? I'm curious about what you said. ”

"Cuizhu is not afraid of you, and this person is afraid of you deep down, so she doesn't dare to look at you, her eyes are always wandering. ”

"You can see that. Shen Congqian covered the corners of his lips with a handkerchief and smiled, the curvature of his lips was extremely beautiful, but those eyes were very indifferent. Such a look combined with a person's face can make people feel uncomfortable. It seems that there is one person at the eyes, but there is already another one at the lip flap.

Nalan Jinxiu barely suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in her heart, and let her voice be as calm as possible: "So the person who turned into blood and water that day was actually Cuizhu, right?"

"Yes. ”

Thinking of the scene that day, Nalan Jinxiu suddenly had a feeling of wanting to be disgusted. When she found out that the person who turned into blood was indeed known to her, and even the day before, she couldn't accept it. Although life and death are fateful, a living person should not be the one who died. She couldn't help but say in a questioning tone, "Why are you doing this?"

"I like it, can't I?"

"Do you like it? If you like a simple one, you have to pay for someone else's life? Shen Congqi, are you a human or a devil!"

"I don't know. Shen Congqian pondered, and then suddenly laughed harmlessly, she said: "I should not be a human, nor a ghost, just a monster who is not a human or a ghost." ”

"Why are you doing this?"

Nalan Jinxiu didn't understand why Shen Congqian did this. If it is said that the saint does not want the Zhenbei Wangfu to marry the Ji family, then the marriage of the ninth princess will not be withdrawn. Even if it really will damage the fortunes of the country and want to retire, isn't there only one daughter of the ninth princess in the Holy Lord, isn't it okay for any unmarried princess? Why do you want to go far and send Shen Congqian to the Zhenbei Palace?

She really couldn't think of that. She had suspected that Shen Congqian might not be a saint, so who could she be, Zong Xuanyi or King Hui or King Xun? She didn't know anything about the situation in the court, and there were only a few people who could be named. I don't know if she is too suspicious or what, she always feels that Shen Congqian is not so simple.

"Why?" Shen Congqian repeated in a faint voice, looking at Nalan Jinxiu and suddenly laughing, it was the kind of hysterical, almost crazy laughter. She laughed for a long time, and when she had laughed enough, her voice became cold again: "To live, of course." ”

Life should be the most ordinary thing in this world, everything has a spirit, and they are trying to live. Nalan Jinxiu felt that these two words were said by her, and they seemed to weigh thousands of pounds.

Shen Congqian didn't look at her expression, she turned her eyes to the window, as if her mind had drifted far away: "I want to live hard, every time I live, I step on the blood of others, this is something that you noble daughters who have been pampered since childhood will not understand." ”

"So, Cuizhu's death is inconsequential and painless to you?"

"Of course. Shen Congqian said as a matter of course: "Because I am like her, if I fail, I will also turn into a pool of blood, and then gradually evaporate, as if I have never been in this world." I'm the same kind as her, do you think I'll sympathize with her?"

"Are you doing this because of my marriage to the third brother? and Mu Li, it's also your hands and feet!"

"There are reasons for Ji Ge Lao, but it's not all the same. As for your guard, it's mainly because he's too much of an eyesore, and he's keeping you airtight, how can I do it?" Shen Congqian said as he looked at his slender and slender fingers. Then she smiled again and said slowly: "I didn't expect you to have a deep love for master and servant, you can save him from Xu Jince's hands, but it took a lot of hard work!"

Nalan Jinxiu didn't know how to answer. Shen Congqian seemed to be particularly interested in this topic, she looked at Nalan Jinxiu, as if she didn't want to miss the slightest expression on her face: "You said that if your third brother knew that you were beaten for a guard, what would you think? ”

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't. ”

"You don't, what about your guards?"

"Neither did he. ”

Shen Congqian laughed again, this time the laughter was even more ironic, she said: "How can you answer for him, in fact, whether he has it or not, you should know it in your heart!"

Nalan Jinxiu shook her head, to be honest, she didn't know. She was naturally emotional, and she didn't bother to bother to explore this. She feels that feelings should come naturally, and naturally it is the best. Her identity with Mu Li is not suitable, and it is impossible for her to be together. Besides, she didn't feel that way about him.

As for what Mu Li thought in her heart, she didn't want to explore it, and it was completely unnecessary. Everyone is an independent individual, and when it is not necessary, why should we probe into other people's thoughts? There are so many acquaintances in this world, if we go to explore them one by one, wouldn't it be exhausting people to death?

"What he thinks is not in my mind. What I want to know is that you came to the Zhenbei Wangfu and did these things again, what is the purpose, are you willing to tell me?" Nalan Jinxiu had already noticed Shen Congqian's abnormality, and she felt that Shen Congqian would definitely have a lot to say to her today, but she didn't know if there was enough time.

"It's better that you don't know about me, and the more you know, the more dangerous you become. ”

"Why?"

"Curiosity is really going to kill people. ”

Shen Congqian didn't look like he was scaring her, but Nalan Jinxiu still wanted to figure things out, and only when she knew everything could she take countermeasures. So she was very afraid of death and asked: "I always want to know who is plotting against me behind my back, calculating the Zhenbei Wangfu." ”

"You're innocent of being implicated, and it's still too late to get out, so you'd better not know anything. Shen Congqian paused at this point, and finally sighed: "I always have to remember that you saved my life, that's why I will tell you so much." Ji Ge's old hands and eyes are all over the sky, if you follow him back to Jinling, he will protect you. ”

Nalan Jinxiu always felt that her words were not as simple as they seemed, and seemed to imply that the Zhenbei Wangfu was about to have a catastrophe. She wanted to ask again, but saw Shen Congqian wave at her, signaling that she could leave.

"What's wrong with you?" Nalan Jinxiu saw that her body was trembling slightly, she walked over and reached out to support Shen Congxi.

"As you might expect. Shen Congli's face became very pale, she looked at Nalan Jinxiu, weakly hooked the corners of her lower lip, and smiled very far-fetched.

"You're going to be like Cuizhu, aren't you?"

"Yes. I failed in my mission, and the medicine was given to me, and I will soon be able to see Cuizhu. ”

"Where's the guy who gave you the medicine? I'm going to look for the antidote. Nalan Jinxiu held Shen Congqian's arm tightly.

Shen Congqian closed her eyes, she felt that she had said enough today. Hope, it can be regarded as repaying her life-saving grace. Nalan Jinxiu didn't want to give up, she shook Shen Congli's shoulders and said loudly: "You just don't want to live, don't you think about your children?"

"There is no use, there is no antidote at all. "Death seems to be very calm for Shen Congqian.

Nalan Jinxiu took her hand and cut her pulse for her, knowing in her heart that it was already Shen Congqian's limit. She is now pregnant, she can't take too much risk, and the consequences of one corpse and two lives are unacceptable. After Cuizhu's death, Nalan Jinxiu had already concocted an antidote. I just didn't say it.

Although "annihilation" is domineering and rigid, it is not a complicated poison. It's just that the flavor of the medicine primer is relatively rare and rare, and it is hard to find. Nalan Jinxiu's attainments in medical skills are extremely high, as long as she is willing to work hard, it is natural to detoxify such a poison.

She originally planned to force Shen Congqi to a certain extent, so that she could spit out what she wanted, that is, who was the instigator behind her. But I didn't expect her to be so persistent, and she still refuses to reveal anything useful to her. The danger she said, Nalan Jinxiu already knew.

This kind of thing is not difficult to speculate, the person who can make someone like Shen Congqian for him to drive, and can practice such a poison, must not be an ordinary person. And this man must not only have a city and power, but also a lot of money, and he must be a very terrible enemy. If there is such a person in the shadows, then the Zhenbei Wangfu may be in danger at any time, and she wants to find out this person.

But now that Nalan Jinxiu can't hold on, Shen Congqian can't say it, but she can't help but save her. As a doctor, saving people should always come first.
