Chapter 64: Murder and Arson

"Hongu has already paid you! A painting worth a thousand gold can't stop your mouth! Rong Chen snorted.

Doctor Ge showed a rare look of embarrassment, and snorted: "Then I'll let her do a little less......"

"That's not going to work either!" Rong Chen said with a cold face: "When you enter the palace, how many delicacies from the mountains and seas are waiting for you!" Don't toss her! ”

"Then you didn't eat less just now!"

Doctor Ge said indignantly: "You only allow Guanzhou to set fires, and you don't allow the people to light lamps!" ”

"You're right." Rong Chen sneered: "The princess of this palace, it's good to do anything to this palace, but outsiders can't!" ”

When Dr. Ge heard this, his eyes flashed.

"You'd better remember Hongu's words." Rong Chen was coerced and lured again, and then he turned around and left with the people around him satisfied.

After he left, Shen Nianzhen was happy at first, but an hour later, she looked at the full dandelions picked in the vegetable basket, and she didn't know why she felt a little bored.

Ruhua squatted aside, and when she saw that she was about to crumple a medicinal herb, she couldn't help coughing lightly and said, "Miss, how long are you going to stay?" Dr. Ge shouted three times. ”

"What? He called me? What do you want me to do? Dressing change? ”

When Shen Nianzhen heard this, he immediately stood up with the vegetable basket, but because he had been squatting for a long time, his eyes were black.

"Miss!" Ruhua hurriedly helped her.

"Girl, your body is a little weak? Did you soak in cold water a while ago? Dr. Ge's voice slowly sounded behind him: "It's fundamentally injured, fortunately it touched me today, otherwise it would ......"

"Otherwise what?" Picturesque asked nervously.

"Otherwise, it will be unfavorable for the heirs in the future." Doctor Ge said slowly.

Shen Nianzhen blushed when she heard this, she hasn't married yet! Let's talk about the matter of the heirs, isn't it too early!

"Girl, what you want to marry is not an ordinary person, if you don't have a good body, it will be ......difficult to live in the future," Dr. Ge looked at her with a smile and said.

Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

From now on, it is an unchangeable fact that she married Rong Chen, the wife of the family is not easy to do, and the emperor's daughter-in-law is even more difficult to do, and the eyes of all the people in Beijing are staring at you! If you have no children after marriage, will you not be despised and killed by everyone?

No! She definitely doesn't want the ending of her previous life!

"Doctor Ge, do you really have a way to regulate my body?" Shen Nianzhen asked.

"Of course you can, but you have to worship me as a teacher."

Dr. Ge said.

"This ......," Shen Nianzhen hesitated a little when he heard this.

She believed in Dr. Ge's personality, such a skilled old man, although he was greedy for money, but he was very kind and upright in terms of right and wrong, Shen Nianzhen begged so many people, and only Doctor Ge was willing to save Shen Chong, although he didn't have time in the end.

The only thing she worries about is the opinion of her grandmother and others......

"Girl, if you are willing to worship me as a teacher, I will give you some rare good things, which others can't ask for!" Dr. Ge smiled and continued to throw the bait.

Shen Nianzhen was really moved when he heard this: "Is it a good medicine that is hard to find for all kinds of money?" ”

"That's nature! The most valuable thing a doctor has is a pill! ”

"Good! I promise! Shen Nianzhen said, immediately stood up, knelt down seriously, and saluted Doctor Ge: "Heaven and earth are proof, I, Shen Nianzhen, am willing to worship Doctor Ge as a teacher!" ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed three times.

"Girl! No need to make such a big gift! Doctor Ge waved his hand, quickly helped Shen Nianzhen up from the ground, touched his beard with a smile and asked, "You just said, your surname is Shen?" ”

"Yes, Shangjing Shen family, my father is Shenzhong." Shen Nianzhen replied with a smile.

"Heavy? Are you a heavy daughter? Dr. Ge was taken aback.

The expression that was originally joking gradually became solemn.

"Yes, my dad is heavy." Shen Nianzhen replied.

"No wonder, no wonder." Doctor Ge suddenly realized, and nodded again and again: "Back then, Mrs. Shen's exquisite cooking skills were famous in Kyoto, and my old man was fortunate to eat the dishes she cooked once, and I have been thinking about it for many years, but I didn't expect you to be her daughter!" How is your mother doing? ”

"My mother died ten years ago." Shen Nianzhen replied.

"Yes, yes? That's a shame. When Dr. Ge heard this, he suddenly staggered and turned around, and glanced at the blue sky outside.

The back looked at it, very lonely.

Shen Nianzhen's face was full of doubts: "Master, do you know my mother?" What kind of person is she? ”

"She's ......" Doctor Ge waited for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Your mother is a person who is amazing and brilliant in all aspects, maybe it is because she is so good, God can't stand it, so she died early......

Shen Nianzhen thought of the gentle woman who was holding her when she was a child, and a faint smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of her mouth.

"Yes, my mother is fine."

Both fell silent.

For dinner, Shen Nianzhen made a few more dishes, but Doctor Ge was unusual, didn't eat anything, and went into the house to rest.

Shen Nianzhen saw that it was getting late, so he packed up and went back to the town inn.

The next day, she woke up in the morning to find that the swelling on her face had completely disappeared, except for some red marks.

Ruhua couldn't close her mouth happily, and the master and servant simply had breakfast, and then returned to Doctor Ge's house.

knocked on the door and entered the courtyard, but there was no familiar figure by the kitchen stove.

Shen Nianzhen felt a little strange, and hurriedly knocked on the door of the room, and after a while, footsteps sounded in the house, and Doctor Ge came over and opened the door.

Shen Nianzhen saw that he seemed to be ten years old overnight, his hair was even grayer, and his waist was a little rickety.

"Doctor Ge?" Shen Nianzhen asked in surprise.

"It's okay, it's okay." Doctor Ge waved his hand, staggered out of the house, and after taking a turn in the courtyard, he sat down on the rattan chair next to the stone table, and looked back at Shen Nianzhen: "Girl, I'm hungry, you go and cook me something." ”

"Okay." Shen Nianzhen immediately agreed.

As a picture of her, she picked and washed vegetables, but in half an hour, Shen Nianzhen made a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, a plate of fried meat buns, and a plate of emerald green cold cabbage, and put it on the table.

Dr. Ge took a look, picked up chopsticks and devoured them.

After a while, the pot was clean and clean.

Doctor Ge burped, put down his chopsticks with satisfaction, looked back at Shen Nianzhen, smiled slightly, and said, "Apply another day's medicine today, and your face will be as good as ever." ”

"Thank you, master!" Shen Nianzhen replied with a smile.

"Okay, don't thank you, come over quickly, change the dressing."

"Yes!"

After lunch, Doctor Ge led Shen Nianzhen to identify the herbs in the flower garden for a while, and then went back to the room to rest in some bad spirits, so Shen Nianzhen called two guards who were guarding outside, gave them some silver, and told them to buy a few chickens and come back.

The batch of roosters raised in Geshen Hospital has long been gone.

"Miss Shen, this silver can't be collected by subordinates, and His Royal Highness explained it when he left." The guards promised to buy chickens, but they refused to accept the money. Before Shen Nianzhen could react, he had already turned around and left.

Shen Nian really couldn't, so he had to go back to the medicine garden.

Picturesque is busy peeling garlic.

Everything was quiet and quiet.

The accident happened at this time, Shen Nianzhen was tired of squatting in the medicine field, and was about to stand up and move her hands and feet, when she suddenly smelled a thick smell of smoke, she quickly turned around, and saw billowing smoke rising from the kitchen built of a straw shed.

"It's on fire! Picturesque! Go fetch water! ”

Shen Nianzhen screamed in fright, hurriedly dropped the Chinese medicinal materials in his hand, ran over and picked up a basin of water outside the kitchen and splashed it.

However, the fire was not extinguished, but burned more vigorously.

"No! Gotta call someone from outside in! ”

Shen Nianzhen told Ruhua to call Doctor Ge to get up, and at the same time rushed out the door to find those who Rong Chen had left behind.

When he pushed the door, he didn't move, and was locked from the outside.

"Someone! Come on! Shen Nianzhen shouted frantically.

"Girl! What's going on? cough cough...... "Doctor Ge was awakened when he was sleeping, and when he went out of the room and saw the fire in the yard, he was shocked and speechless.

"I don't know! The fire ignited suddenly! Shen Nianzhen said as he ran back and went to the edge of the well to fetch water, intending to use it to extinguish the fire.

Doctor Ge looked up at the sky and found that the kitchen was burning unstoppably, and there seemed to be smoke gradually rising from the upper room......

"My He Zong's true handiwork!" Doctor Ge screamed, turned around sharply and ran back towards the upper room.

"Master! Don't go! The fire is too big! ”

Shen Nianzhen shouted.

Doctor Ge turned a deaf ear.

Shen Nian was really helpless, in just a few moments, the fire was irresistible, and it was impossible to extinguish it with manpower.

She pulled Ruhua, and the two of them stood at the door far away, and there was no other way than to call Doctor Ge to come out quickly.

But at this moment, there was a noise outside the courtyard, and the locked door was kicked from the outside.

She quickly turned her head, but she saw rows of bows and arrows on the wall.

The direction in which the arrow was aimed was exactly her and the picturesque.

Shen Nianzhen's face changed, and he hurriedly pulled Ruhua to hide behind the crooked-necked willow tree on the side.

The next moment, the sound of sneering was endless.

"Miss! What the hell is going on? Picturesque asked in a panic.

Shen Nianzhen's heart was pounding, and he was also scared in his heart, so he hurriedly replied when he heard the words: "What else can there be!" We're being targeted! Someone is going to put us to death! ”

"Who could it be? Who is so ruthless? There was already a cry in the picturesque voice.

"I don't know!"

Shen Nianzhen screamed, and stretched out his hand to pull Ruhua into his arms, avoiding arrows in her bare arm.

"What to do? What to do? Who's going to save us......"

Picturesque asked with a sad face.

No one answered her.

The arrow stopped shooting for a while, and Shen Nianzhen cautiously poked his head out from behind the tree, wanting to take a look at the people outside.

As soon as she poked her head out, an arrow shot straight at her with the sound of breaking through the air!

Shen Nianzhen hurriedly dodged behind the tree.

With a snap, the arrow struck the trunk of the tree, buzzing and shaking.

Shen Nian was really frightened.

Who the hell is it? She was able to mobilize archers to deal with her as a weak woman! It's really overkill......

Dense arrows like rain shot from all directions again, and those people seemed to have known that Shen Nianzhen and the others were hiding behind the tree, so they turned around, and the arrows were still burning when they came.

This time, Shen Nian really couldn't avoid it.

She desperately reached out to cover her eyes, but she was held in her arms by Picturesque's backhand.

She used her back to erect the last wall for Shen Nianzhen.

"Don't! Picturesque! You don't want that! After Shen Nianzhen understood, he hurriedly stopped her.

Picturesque but refused to let go of her: "Miss! Don't be afraid! There are slaves and maids! ”

Shen Nianzhen was moved, her voice choked, and she was about to persuade her, but she suddenly said, "Miss! You listen! The archers stopped. ”

Shen Nianzhen hurriedly looked up, and saw that the archers on the wall had disappeared without knowing when.

The noise outside the door seemed to be louder, and there was no shortage of swords colliding.

When he was shocked, Shen Nianzhen suddenly heard Shen Yunlan's voice outside the door: "Nianzhen!" Younger sister! You're not there! Again, a word back! ”

It's Big Brother!

Shen Nianzhen was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly responded loudly: "I'm here!" Brother! I'm here! ”

After a while, the sound of fighting outside completely stopped, and the locked courtyard door was also kicked open, Shen Yunlan walked in from outside with a large number of people, and saw that Shen Nianzhen and Ruhua were all right, so he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, hurry up and leave!" ”

"Wait! My master is still inside! ”

Shen Nianzhen said and hurriedly turned around.

At this time, the smoke-filled door of the upper room opened, and Doctor Ge walked out of it holding a picture scroll and a large number of books, with a smile on his face: "I finally rescued the most precious things!" ”

"Master!" Shen Nianzhen hurriedly greeted him, stretched out his hand to help take some things, and said, "The fire here is too big, let's go!" ”

"How can that work!" Hearing this, Doctor Ge shook his head frantically, asked Shen Nianzhen to take back the things he had taken, and held it firmly in his arms and said, "My yard full of herbs is still there!" Among them, there are precious medicinal materials for treating Concubine Qi! If I give up, I won't be able to heal! ”

"This ......"

Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but hesitate when she heard this, she glanced back at Shen Yunlan and prayed, "Big brother, see if you can ......"

Shen Yunlan didn't know how this god-like doctor Ge became her master after only two days of not seeing him, but he understood what Doctor Ge meant, and if he wanted to save Concubine Qi, he had to save the herbs in the courtyard.

He glanced back at the group of guards behind him, and immediately ordered: "Everyone go and fetch water to put out the fire!" Extinguish the fire no matter what it is today! You can't let it burn into that medicine garden, you know? ”

"Yes, Commander Xiao Shen!"

When the people received the order, they immediately divided themselves and got busy.

Shen Nianzhen said to Doctor Ge: "Let's go to the inn first!" Just leave it to them here, don't worry, you will definitely keep your medicine field. ”

Doctor Ge nodded, and finally agreed.

A few people were about to go to the inn, and as soon as they went out, they saw Rong Chen riding a horse from a distance and rushing from a distance, and after a while, they came to the front, and stopped in front of Shen Nianzhen.

"How are you? Is there something wrong? ”

After Rong Chen dismounted, the first thing he did was to rush forward and look her up and down.

He was relieved to see that she was okay.

God knows how nervous he was when he found out that something was going on here! The sudden panic urged him to hurry over, and finally caught up.

Shen Nianzhen saw him, and for some reason, his nose suddenly became sore.

Suddenly stretched out his hand and smashed his chest with a hard punch: "Didn't you say yesterday that you would come back early?" Why only now! Why! ”

Rong Chen grabbed her hand and held it very tightly.

"I'm sorry, it's all the fault of this palace."

His Royal Highness, the second prince, who has always been unruly and high, would actually say sorry?

Shen Nianzhen was fine, and everyone around him, including Shen Yunlan and others, almost dropped their jaws in shock.

Rong Chen glanced at the black-clothed masked assassins lying on the ground, and then raised his eyes to look at the fire-lit courtyard in front of him, a cold color flashed in his eyes, and coldly ordered: "Someone!" Give the Hongu to put out the fire! ”

This time, he brought with him a full fifty guards, all of whom rushed to help put out the fire, and perhaps because of the strength of the numbers, they were finally extinguished when the fire burned down the house and tried to spread to the medicine garden on the side.

Doctor Ge held his most precious thing, ran to the medicine garden to take a look, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I have saved it, with these herbs, I can cure Concubine Qi's illness!" ”

"Really?" Rong Chen said: "Then it's better to transplant them all to the palace!" ”

"Don't!" Divine Doctor Ge hurriedly shook his head and refused: "If these herbs enter the palace, they won't be able to live, don't move at this time!" Let them grow well! We'll talk about transplanting in a few months......"

At this, his brow furrowed tightly.

This courtyard was burned, and now he has nowhere to go.

As soon as Shen Nianzhen saw his expression, he knew what he was thinking, and gently pulled him to the side and said, "Master, the apprentice knows that you don't want to live in the palace, and I still have some spare money in my hand, so I'll buy you a small courtyard in Shangjing, and then move these herbs over, ......what do you think?"

"This ......"

Doctor Ge looked at her, hesitated for a while, and said, "Okay! ”

If it weren't for the fact that he lived in Shangjing and was close to the Shen family, he could eat the dishes made by Shen Nianzhen every day, he wouldn't have agreed! Hum.

"What are you muttering? The residence of Zhuge Divine Doctor is naturally arranged by the palace. Rong Chen glanced coldly at this side, and looked at Doctor Ge with some warning.

Doctor Ge held his things, tilted his head sideways and didn't look at him at all.

That scoundrel appearance made Rong Chen want to break his neck with his own hands.

But thinking about his mother's illness, he endured it.

The matter was settled, and after the fire was extinguished, Doctor Ge went in to pack up the things that could still be used, and made the ointment for Shen Nianzhen, and then returned to Beijing with everyone in the carriage.

Shen Yunlan had the time to ask Shen Nianzhen at this time: "How did the old man become your master?" ”

"He was going to teach me some herbs and help me regulate my body, so I took him as my teacher." Shen Nianzhen replied with a smile.

"You...... You know all about it? Shen Yunlan was taken aback when he heard this.
