Chapter 47: I like him very much
Shen Ruxiu looked at Shen Bai deeply, his eyes were deep and dark, and there were many emotions that Shen Bai couldn't understand.
Shen Bai had seen such an expression on Shen Ruxiu's face countless times, she knew that her father was hiding many, many secrets, and had many, many helplessness, but she had already understood him for a lifetime, and had fulfilled the obligations of the descendants of the Shen family, and now, she wanted to live for herself once.
Shen Bai stubbornly looked at Shen Ruxiu with his neck, and after a long time, Shen Ruxiu sighed and said: "Bai'er, many things are not as simple as you think, but when the time comes in the future, Dad will tell you everything." ”
Shen Bai has heard this countless times.
In the last life, she fought in the court for more than ten years, entered the office as the youngest Tanhualang in Zhaoling, assisted the prince to ascend the throne, and became the best soft knife in the hands of the new emperor all the way, and the rewards that the Shen family should have have were there, but until she died, Shen Bai couldn't wait for her father's explanation.
When will the right time come?
Shen Bai was sad, and looked at Shen Ruxiu seriously with a white face: "Dad, I know that you are concerned about the common people in the world, as long as my father agrees to me a condition, I can not explore the mystery of my life experience, nor can I not make the secrets of the Shen family public, and I will always be the eldest young master of the Taifu Mansion." ”
Shen Ruxiu had already guessed what Shen Bai wanted to say, and couldn't help but remind: "Bai'er, that's the prince of Zhenguo, you and him have no result." ”
Shen Bai's eyes were red, so he didn't open his eyes to look at Shen Ruxiu, and said stubbornly: "Even if there is no result, I am willing." ”
Shen Ruxiu opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything, he knew this child too well, she usually looked at the laughter and had no heart and lungs, but she actually hid a lot of things in her heart, and she was much more miserable than children of the same age.
The father and daughter lay down and sat one by one, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was so dull that people slowed down their breathing, but fortunately, it didn't take long for the next person to come with Imperial Doctor Zhang.
Sun wanted to follow up and take a look, Shen Ruxiu got up and blocked people out, Imperial Doctor Zhang closed the door and bolted the door, walked to the bed with the medicine box on his back, and saw Shen Bai's blood, his face changed slightly: "Young Master Shen, why are you injured like this?" ”
Imperial Physician Zhang is the only person who knows Shen Bai's identity as a woman except for Shen Ruxiu, from childhood to adulthood, Shen Bai has any cold and fever to ask him for treatment, Shen Bai has a very close relationship with him, relaxed his body, and smiled at him weakly: "I deserted in the martial arts class of Tai Academy, I failed the master's teachings, and I was injured by gangsters." ”
Imperial Physician Zhang put down the medicine box, said a word of offense, untied Shen Bai's belt and took off his clothes, leaving only the strip of cloth that wrapped his chest.
Shen Bai had a wound on his left arm, the flesh and blood were flying, and the arrow hole in his right arm was still bleeding out, Imperial Doctor Zhang frowned, and couldn't help but whisper: "The wound is so deep, if there is a scar, it will ...... in the future." What can I do in the future? ”
Imperial Physician Zhang originally wanted to say what to do if he got married in the future, but after thinking about it, if Shen Bai's daughter was exposed, he was afraid that the Shen family would be beheaded, and there would be no chance of getting married, so he changed his mind.
Shen Bai knew what Imperial Physician Zhang was thinking, hooked his lips and smiled: "Lao Zhang doesn't have to worry about me, the person I like is a big hero with the world in mind, even if I have a scar on my body, he won't care." ”
Imperial Physician Zhang had also heard about the recent rumors in Beijing, and looked at Shen Bai in surprise: "Young Master Shen is really interested in Gu Shizi?" ”
Shen Bai smiled even more happily and nodded: "Yes, I really like him very much." ”
Imperial Physician Zhang felt more sorry for Shen Bai, knowing that she would not joke about the lives of dozens of people in the Shen family, so he did not criticize her, but seriously considered for her: "You can't recover your daughter's body right now, you claim that you like Gu Shizi, and you have to bear a lot of criticism, not to mention, this year is Your Majesty's 50th birthday, and Zhenguo Gong should return to Beijing to report on his work, and then you are not afraid that Zhenguo Gong will come to you to teach you a lesson?" ”
Zhen Guogong is a famous killing god in Zhaoling, a glaive sword can sweep thousands of armies, like Shen Bai, he estimates that he can kill one with one punch.
Mrs. Zhang's words are all euphemistic, but Shen Bai is not afraid at all, licks his lips and says: "This thing is what I did wrong, if the Duke of Zhenguo wants to come to teach me a lesson, I should suffer it myself, and I can't complain about others." ”
Shen Bai saw it very openly, and Imperial Doctor Zhang knew that he couldn't persuade her, sighed, helped her clean her wound, and was about to take medicine, when he suddenly heard Shen Bai say, "By the way, Lao Zhang, I'm poisoned." ”
Imperial Physician Zhang's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly grabbed Shen Bai's wrist to check the pulse, and Shen Bai continued: "It should be a poison like an aphrodisiac, mixed in incense, I accidentally inhaled a few puffs." ”
Shen Bai's pulse was disordered, his heart rhythm was obviously irregular, and his skin was also burning, Imperial Doctor Zhang's brows were furrowed, and he couldn't help but ask for a long time: "This poison is so strong and domineering, I heard that the prince sent you back to the Taifu Mansion, have you lost your temper in front of the prince?" ”
This poison will make men and women lose their minds, leaving only men and women happy, Shen Bai can resist one or two without trying anyone, but the person she likes is right in front of her, how can she stay calm?
Shen Bai blinked and showed smugness: "Although this poison is strong and domineering, it is not as good as one-ten-thousandth of my love for Brother Gu, and I will not lose my temper in front of Brother Gu." ”
She has liked Gu Hengzhou for ten years, and she has long integrated this liking into her own blood and bones, but she has never revealed a word to anyone, and she has forbearance and restraint to the extreme, how can she be defeated by this toxin?
Imperial Physician Zhang was stunned, stunned for a while, wrote a prescription and took it out and handed it to Shen Ruxiu, and then came back to continue to help Shen Bai bandage his wounds, but he couldn't help but admonish: "Xiaobai, you can be regarded as the one I grew up watching, you are still young, and your life is still very long, I have no objection to you liking Gu Shizi, but I hope you don't fall too deep, and finally put your life into it." ”
Shen Bai knew that he was doing it for his own good, nodded perfunctorily, opened his mouth and stretched out his injured tongue: "Lao Zhang, I have a severe tongue headache, please help me with some medicine here." ”
The pink tongue was bitten and swollen in several places, and at a glance, she knew that it was a poisonous hair, and she bit it in order to stay awake, and Imperial Doctor Zhang looked solemn, and finally had to sigh helplessly.
The word love is easy to say, but how many people can really be indifferent?
Imperial Doctor Zhang helped Shen Bai bandage all the wounds, Shen Ruxiu personally asked people to go to the pharmacy to pick up the medicine, and the maid was guarding the stove in the backyard to suffer, and before the medicine was boiled, Master Zheng Yue, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, took a team of soldiers and horses into the Taifu Mansion.
Shen Ruxiu sat in the living room to receive, Gu Hengzhou changed his clothes and was taken to the living room by his subordinates, the three of them were talking, Shen Bai put on his middle coat, put on his coat, and rushed into the house with a white face, shouting loudly: "Lord Zheng, you must be the master for me, those villains are really terrible, they are chasing and trying to kill me, it must be my father who has offended me by bluntly admonishing in the court, some people have a grudge, and they want to let our Shen family cut off their children and grandchildren!" ”
Hearing the words "cut off the son and grandson", Shen Ruxiu felt irritable in his heart, Zheng Yue looked cold, looked at Shen Bai calmly, and said in a deep voice: "This official is here to investigate this matter, please Young Master Shen be calm and don't be too excited." ”
As soon as he heard this, Shen Bai's eyebrows and eyes were upside down: "I'm hurt like this, why don't you be impatient?" Imperial Physician Zhang just said that this arrow pierced too deeply, if I don't recover well, my right hand will be wasted, our Shen family's ancestors have relied on pens to eat for generations, and I am a waste if my right hand is wasted, will Your Majesty still want me to be a waste Tanhualang? Master Zheng, my reputation and future have been ruined! ”
Shen Bai cried, and after howling, another voice sounded: "The master's leg is a waste, and the master will be a waste in the future, my father is missing a leg, and I have become a cripple, now everyone in Hanjing can see the jokes of our Zhou family, and the master is no longer alive." ”
The voice fell, Zhou Jue was carried into the living room by Friday and another small guy with a bamboo chair, Shen Bai wrapped his hands in bandages, and Zhou Jue, who had a wooden stick tied to his legs, stared wide-eyed, turned his head together after a while, looked at Zheng Yue with blank eyes, and said in unison: "Lord Zheng, please be sure to investigate this matter thoroughly and deal with it impartially!" ”
Zheng Yue's eyebrows jumped slightly, a case injured three young masters and a court official, two of them were still shouting that they wanted to die or live, the key murderers were all dead, and there was no witness, no matter how you look at it, it was a hot potato.
Afraid that Shen Bai and Zhou Jue would cry out some new tricks, Zheng Yue stood up and bowed slightly at Shen Ruxiu and Gu Hengzhou: "I understand the basic situation, the stakes are very high, I will go to the palace to meet Your Majesty and see if I can send additional people to find the traces of the real murderer behind the scenes in Kyoto." ”
Shen Ruxiu got up and raised his hand and saluted: "There is Lord Lao Zheng." ”
The subordinates led Zheng Yue away, and Shen Ruxiu frowned and looked at Shen Bai: "You still don't give me a good lie down and let you come out when you are injured like this?" ”
"The wound hurts so much that I can't sleep, so I come out and go around." Shen Bai replied perfunctorily, sat down beside Gu Hengzhou, and asked with concern: "Brother Gu, what did Lord Zheng ask just now, how did you answer?" ”
Gu Hengzhou glanced at Shen Bai's tightly wrapped wound, the gauze didn't know how many layers were wrapped, and blood soaked out, two folds squeezed out of his eyebrows, and said lightly: "It's just a question related to the case, so naturally answer it truthfully." ”
Zhou Jue was more anxious than Shen Bai, looked at Gu Hengzhou and asked, "How is it a truthful method?" Brother Gu, that gangster not only robbed me of my money, but also wanted to abolish one of my legs, he must have a personal vendetta against my father, and he wanted all the people in the Zhou family to not be able to raise their heads, the intentions are too sinister, Brother Gu, you must tell Master Zheng about this situation, and let him arrest all the people who have had a grudge with my father over the years! ”
Zhou Jue and Shen Bai thought of going together, but they didn't expect him to open up so quickly, Shen Bai looked at Zhou Jue with a little more appreciation, Zhou Jue was inexplicably looked at, and glanced at Shen Bai: "Little white face, what do you see?" ”
Not wanting to quarrel with Zhou Jue, Shen Bai looked away and looked at Shen Ruxiu with a serious face: "Dad, you should also think about whether you have a grudge with anyone in the court recently, those killers are all dead, and there is no one to testify, Dali Temple may not be able to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, but the people behind the scenes may design to harm people again, you must strengthen your heart of prevention." ”
Shen Ruxiu couldn't hear Shen Bai speak like this, and scolded in a low voice: "Bastard, the matter of the court, it's not your turn to talk nonsense about a stinky boy who has not dried up!" ”
Shen Ruxiu also taught in Tai Academy, Shen Bai was used to seeing him like this, and he was not frightened at all, but Zhou Jue was taken aback, and he reacted in hindsight that he scolded Shen Bai in front of Mrs. Shen is little white face, and he was so weak that he didn't dare to speak for a while.
Shen Bai is not really fourteen years old, and when he heard Shen Ruxiu speak, he wanted to refute, Gu Hengzhou suddenly stood up in front of Shen Bai, and saluted Shen Ru: "The junior still has official business, so it is inconvenient to bother too much, and I will come to the door to thank you in person another day." ”
Shen Bai swallowed the words that came to his mouth, looked at Gu Hengzhou's back and asked, "Brother Gu, are you leaving?" ”
She is injured like this, the lieutenant camp must not be able to return, and she has to recuperate at home, so she won't be able to see him for a long time?
Gu Hengzhou didn't answer Shen Bai's words, Shen Ruxiu stood up and made a gesture of invitation: "Thank you, there's no need, the old man will send His Highness out." ”
Seeing that Gu Hengzhou was leaving, Zhou Jue immediately followed: "Brother Gu wait for me, I am just going to the Guogong Mansion, and I have something to tell you!" ”
The two little guys immediately carried Zhou Jue to follow Gu Hengzhou, Shen Bai got up and wanted to go out, Sun came with two maids, pressed Shen Bai back to the chair and sat down, and shouted exaggeratedly: "My little ancestor, you are injured like this, can't you lie down and rest?" The medicine has been boiled, drink it while it is hot. ”
Sun held the medicine bowl and sent it to Shen Bai's mouth, but when he was blocked like this, Gu Hengzhou had already walked out of the living room and disappeared.
Shen Bai was lost in his heart, retracted his gaze, and lowered his head to drink the medicine with Sun's hand, but he didn't expect this medicine to be so hot, plus he was already injured, and his tongue was in severe pain, Shen Bai turned his head and spit out the medicine, glaring at Sun: "Okay, you Sun, you want to murder the master!" ”
"The conscience of heaven and earth, young master, you are the heart of the master, how dare I have half the intention of murdering the young master." Sun defended himself vigorously, puffed up his cheeks to help Shen Bai blow the medicine cold, just blew two mouthfuls, Sun's face changed suddenly, put the medicine on the side, ran to the door and vomited, but he didn't vomit anything for a long time.
The two maids ran over to help Sun pat him on the back, Shen Ruxiu came back after sending Gu Hengzhou back, and when he saw Sun like this, he scolded coldly: "What are you doing?" ”
Sun was afraid of Shen Ruxiu, and hurriedly replied: "Master, the slave family doesn't know, it may be that the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor to the young master is too bitter, and the slave family will be uncomfortable when they smell it." ”
Shen Bai sneered: "The medicine master still wants to drink, you just want to vomit when you smell it, how can you let the master drink it?" ”
Sun looked at Shen Ruxiu in a panic, and was about to explain, when Shen Ruxiu indifferently ordered: "Go down!" ”
Sun didn't dare to say much, so he saluted and retreated with the maid.
Shen Ruxiu walked in front of Shen Bai, saw that the bowl of medicine was still steaming, and reached out to take the medicine up to help her cool down, Shen Bai raised his left hand to block it: "Don't work too hard, Master Shen, I'll drink it when the medicine is cold." ”
Shen Ruxiu withdrew his hand, walked to the main seat and sat down.
Shen Bai's mind was full of the scene where Sun had just leaned against the door retching, and his heart was blocked for a while, and he couldn't help but ask Shen Ruxiu after enduring it for a long time: "I've been away for more than a month, are you and Sun having a round house?" ”
The people of the whole Hanjing know that Mrs. Shen is a rare gentleman, who is rich in five cars, elegant and humble, and is a rare gentleman, and the only thing he did not do is to be kind, that is, when his wife died for more than a month and his young son was still waiting to be fed, he carried the young and beautiful stepfamily to the entrance.
To this day, there are still many rumors in the market, saying that Mrs. Shen has long been secretly with the steproom, and after his wife died in childbirth, he would be so eager to let the steproom enter the door, and some people say that the steproom was restless, and during his wife's pregnancy, he designed to provoke several times, causing his wife to be depressed and unhappy, and finally died of dystocia.
There are different opinions in the market, Shen Bai doesn't believe a word, if his father has been secretly with the Sun family, the Sun family's palace sand will not always remain in his hand, and his father will not worship her mother's tablet in the bedroom day and night.
Shen Bai knew that Shen Ruxiu would not guard her mother for a lifetime, but in the previous life, the Sun family was pregnant after her and the crown, according to the time calculation, it should be six years later, and the Sun family was weak, and the child in the previous life was not born smoothly, and the tire was lost when it was three months old.
Shen Ruxiu is not good at lying, and after being stabbed by Shen Bai's words, he pursed his lips and his face became ugly.
He doesn't deny that it's a disguised admission.
Anger surged in her chest, Shen Bai wanted to point at her father's nose and scold him for being a ruthless and unrighteous negative man, she thought of countless ugly and harsh words to scold this person, but her eyes fell on his hands that were clenched into fists and trembled slightly, and those words turned into thorns stuck in his throat.
In this life, she has already made up her mind to be a bad descendant, how can she be qualified to ask her father to observe the festival for her mother?
His heart was cold, Shen Bai took the bowl of medicine and drank it all, got up and said coldly: "Sun's health is not good, for the sake of safety, you still ask the doctor to help her check her pulse, if she is really pregnant, don't hide it, take care of her body, after all, if something happens to me one day, I have to rely on her to help the Shen family continue the incense." ”
After speaking, without looking at Shen Ruxiu's expression, Shen Bai rushed back to his yard directly, kicked the door, and roared: "The master is in a bad mood, I don't want to die, no one should hit the muzzle of the master's gun!" ”
Shen Bai threw herself on the bed angrily, and until dinner, no one dared to knock on the door to let her eat.
I don't know how long it took, there was a strange noise from the window, Shen Bai thought it was a subordinate outside, hooked his shoes and kicked over, but before he could think about it, the window opened, and Gu Hengzhou's cold face appeared outside.
The first time he did the matter of prying people's windows, Gu Hengzhou had no experience, because there was no light in the house, he thought that Shen Bai had already slept, and he was unprepared and smashed into his chest by Shen Bai's shoes kicked over, but it didn't hurt, but there was a shallow shoe print on his clothes.
The moonlight outside was very bright, and seeing Gu Hengzhou's face clearly, Shen Bai ran to the window barefoot: "Brother Gu, why are you?" ”
Gu Hengzhou turned into the room, looked at Shen Bai for a long time, took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms, and said without being salty or light: "Pain relief." I didn't want Shen Bai to misunderstand, so I added, "I also gave Zhou Jue a bottle." ”
Shen Bai took the medicine, and the corners of his mouth grinned happily: "Did Young Master Zhou's bottle of Brother Gu also be delivered to him through the window?" ”
