Chapter 42: Good Medicine
It's not a coincidence.
Shen Tingnian Longtai didn't figure out how Shuangmu could become Lin Mo for four years, and when she saw Pu Yangxu for the first time, she didn't realize that it was no coincidence that the two looked similar.
It was a game, and she had already been arranged clearly at the age when she was most longing for love.
Shen Tingnian felt a chill in her bones, she didn't feel terrible if she had escaped so many times and failed, but at this moment, she knew that the Shen family had deceived her for four years with a young man whose personality and appearance were depicted by Pu Yangxu.
"Shen Tingnian, what are you crying about?"
Tears slipped unexpectedly and fell on Pu Yangxu's neck.
"I ......" Shen Tingnian originally wanted to hold back, but Pu Yangxu turned his head to look at her, and those translucent eyes like obsidian suddenly hit her fragile heart, and she broke down and cried in an instant.
The startled Pu Yangxu wanted to throw her out, but she was sticky and tight, and stuck to his back like a plaster.
The crying was extremely penetrating in the night, and they only approached the Taisun Palace, and the movement had already reached the East Palace.
"You are really ......" Pu Yangxu's anger was crying out from her, and she only felt that her back was soaked.
He regretted it, why did he go to bring her back, and he was tired all the way, and when he entered the Qianqiu Palace, Pu Yangxu didn't pity the jade at all, and pulled her arm and threw her to the bed.
Shen Tingnian, who fell on the bed, was crying happily and tired, as if all the hatred and pain had been vented, and the past was really exhausted through tears.
"If you don't make it clear, Shen Tingnian, I'll demote you out of the palace!"
Pu Yangxu was really angry, he raised his foot and kicked the door, and the loud bang frightened the palace people outside to scatter and flee, no one dared to approach, except for Chen Luo, who changed Xu Xi's class, and had to stand under the corridor to listen to the movement.
Inside the house, Shen Tingnian was still humming and chirping, while Pu Yangxu tore off his outer robe, took off it cleanly, and changed into bedtime clothes.
He stood in front of the bed, staring at Shen Tingnian, his eyes were a little unfamiliarly sharp, "What are you crying about?" ”
"I feel bad."
Pu Yangxu couldn't understand this emotion of a woman, but he had seen a lot, so he endured it and let it go.
"What did you smell in the Bongxian Temple?"
"Cocoon." Shen Tingnian's breath has stabilized, his eyes are as beautiful as the glass beads that have been moistened, but his expression is a little dull, it is the kind of emptiness after losing his strength.
"You know so much about the gods? What else do you know? ”
Shen Tingnian's eyes rolled, and he seemed to be trying to think about how to answer, "Because I've eaten it, I've eaten it for a whole year." ”
Pu Yangxu waited, but didn't hear her answer the next question, so he asked again, "What else do you know?" ”
"If you eat too much, you will be sleepy, and you will always feel stupid."
"What did you say?" Pu Yangxu raised his voice in disbelief, he didn't even control the fact that he leaned forward and lifted her out of her paralyzed state, "You say it again?" ”
Shen Tingnian blinked, taking his expression seriously, especially the shock and anger in his eyes, these emotions became the medicine sprinkled on her heart, and she felt that her pain was being relieved little by little.
"Your Highness has seen the troupe perform, they often raise the kind of tiger that ordinary people can't see, in order to control it, so that it doesn't hurt people, they will feed the tiger to the gods, and after a long time, the tiger will only stay in the cage, quiet, stupid."
The amount of medicine will determine whether it is a good medicine or a poison.
The calmer Shen Tingnian's face is, the more she is howling in her heart, she knows that she shouldn't blame everything on this person, but she can't do it without anger, the husband is not guilty, Huaibi is guilty, if it weren't for him, because of this criminal imperial power and wealth, how could the Shen family go to great lengths to snarn the women of the Shen family, cultivate them since childhood, carve them like dead things in a jar, and even count their feelings, teach you to love, teach you to hate, teach you to learn all this...... You will not be a puppet of feelings, but a controller.
Pu Yangxu let go of her, and after standing up straight, he turned his back and said to himself, "Impossible, the imperial doctor strictly controls the dosage of medicine every day, and all the prescriptions are monitored by more than ten people......
"An adult tiger is about the same for two or three years, and the cub doesn't have to be so long, and it will be obedient in a year and a half."
Pu Yangxu was dumbfounded, the emperor did suddenly have a headache three years ago, and then there were various situations such as forgetfulness and anger, and gradually everyone thought that the emperor was old and couldn't control his emotions.
He didn't want to believe it, but if it was really man-made, he would never tolerate it.
"Why do you eat cocoon?"
Shen Tingnian knew that this question was a matter of life and death, so she thought of the answer at the beginning.
"In the past few years, people were ignorant and refused to listen to the family's arrangements to enter the palace, thinking that the palace was a place to eat people, and there was no way to live if they went in, and they thought about running away from home every day, naturally they had no chance, so they cried, made trouble, made trouble, and hanged themselves, and the adults in the family had no choice but to put medicine in my tea every day......" Shen Tingnian couldn't be sure whether Pu Yangxu had checked her, so he also paved the way and withstood the other party's investigation, "A good person is tired and sleepy all day long, and he is not sick and he is sick." ”
The highest level of making up a story is seven points true and three points false, Shen Tingnian smiled silently: her understanding of the medicinal effect of the cocoon god is naturally not to eat it, but to use it.
She knew too well how much each time she could make the guard's maid sleep to death.
Pu Yangxu believed it, because he would never have thought of Shen Tingnian's motive for deceiving him, whether it was from her liking for him in the past two years, or from the past she had investigated.
Shen Tingnian didn't wait for his next interrogation, she turned over and sat up, she was hungry and weak, and her stomach sang at the right time.
Pu Yangxu, who was caught in his own thoughts, stood for a long time, without the slightest movement.
She was just about to get out of bed to find something to eat by herself, when she heard Pu Yangxu finally call someone in.
"Send me something to eat."
Chen Luo stood at the door and answered, "Your Highness, it has been prepared for a long time, and the servants will let them come in." ”
It's all hot food, there are rice and vegetables, as well as meat and bird's nests, soup dumplings, noodles...... Shen Tingnian has always been not a picky eater, and when he is very hungry, he naturally doesn't care about his demeanor, his forehead is sweaty when he eats, and the corners of his mouth are oily.
Pu Yangxu sat opposite her, bowed his head and asked Chen Luo to personally take the emperor's medical records, he didn't see it for the first time, but he had seen it many times, especially the year when the emperor was seriously ill.
The more he turned it, the more frightened he became, if it hadn't been for Shen Tingnian reminding him, no one would have noticed that there was a medicine that had been appearing in various prescriptions since three years ago.
"Smack!"
Pu Yangxu closed the medical registration heavily, the green tendons in her hands burst out, and the sudden movement shocked Shen Tingnian's soup bowl almost spilled, she hurriedly picked it up and drank it slowly.
