Chapter Eighty-Three: A Night's Care
The previous chaos has now largely settled down.
Sun Qingqing was finally able to rest for a while.
Those guards also quieted down, and under the leadership of Zhao De, they continued to return to their posts.
It's just that they all know very well that tonight's events must be kept silent, and they can't say a word outside.
Sun Qingqing was alone in Li Shengshu's room.
She lowered her eyebrows slightly, looking at his face.
In fact, Li Shengshu is very good-looking, and those eyes are also very soft when closed, completely without his previous sense of oppression.
Sun Qingqing had never had the opportunity to observe Li Shengshu's face so carefully, and now it was the first opportunity.
Her eyes carefully examined his facial features, but even Sun Qingqing herself didn't realize how gentle her gaze was.
Sun Qingqing stood in the room for a while, then went to the side and gave a wet towel over and gently applied it to Li Shengshu's forehead.
The towels were cold.
Li Shengshu is already a little feverish now.
His physical fitness is relatively good, otherwise he would have lost too much blood after being sent to the carriage for so long, and then lasted so long when she came.
But now it's just a little pale lip color.
Sun Qingqing stayed by his side, quietly waiting for him to wake up.
This injury is not a serious injury for Li Shengshu, but it will take a long time to recover.
The wound is indeed not bleeding much now, but he has not woken up yet, and it is very likely that he will have a fever this night, so Sun Qingqing does not dare to leave him.
After a towel was hot, Sun Qingqing went to get another cold towel and put it on his forehead.
The cycle goes on and on.
When Zhao De came over, he saw that Sun Qingqing's eyes were still on Li Shengshu, holding his chin, and he didn't know what he was thinking?
He couldn't help but soften his heart and lighten his steps.
It seems that the princess is still more interested in the princess.
Zhao De had a good impression of Sun Qingqing in his heart, so he slowly walked over and said softly: "Princess, you have been taking care of the prince for one night, go and rest quickly, I will take care of it here." ”
Sun Qingqing was reminded by this sentence, and then it was suddenly realized.
She hurriedly turned her head to look, only to see that the sky was already faintly white, glowing with light, and the night had withdrawn at some point.
It's already dawn?
Sun Qingqing was startled and reacted, that is to say, she took care of Li Shengshu all night last night?
This realization made her a little overwhelmed, as if something was already out of control.
Sun Qingqing tilted her head slightly, as if to cover up something, and asked Zhao De with a straight face: "Has the murderer who assassinated the prince yesterday been found?" ”
"Never." When Zhao De heard this, he shook his head with a somewhat lost expression: "When I arrived yesterday, the murderer had already heard the movement and fled. ”
At that time, Li Shengshu was also injured, fell to the ground, and was sent to the carriage and fell unconscious shortly after.
Sun Qingqing was thoughtful, and her expression became solemn.
It seems that the person who arranged the assassination was very thoughtful, and everything was already arranged.
Sun Qingqing felt a little tired in her heart, and after the nervous tension, she also felt a little tired, so she said softly: "Then I'll go and rest first, if there is any abnormal situation here, report it to me." ”
"My subordinates understand." Zhao De said.
Sun Qingqing returned to Lanchen Garden, and Ah Ling waited at the door for a long time.
She looked at Sun Qingqing's tired look because she hadn't slept all night, and hurriedly said, "Miss must be tired, let's go and rest quickly." ”
Sun Qingqing responded briefly and went to sleep.
She slept until noon before slowly waking up.
Sun Qingqing didn't have breakfast or lunch, and now she is a little hungry. Ah Ling was ready to eat, just waiting for her to use it.
Sun Qingqing thought that it would be okay to do so, so she was not in a hurry and ate slowly.
After lunch, Ah Ling came in from outside and said, "Miss, Doctor He is waiting outside, saying that he is looking for Miss to discuss something about Aunt Zhen." ”
Coming so early?
Before Sun Qingqing went out to see He Senwei, she deliberately looked up at the sky.
It was noon, and it was also a good time for lunch, and He Senwei came at this time, there must be something urgent.
"He Gongzi, I've been waiting for a long time." When Sun Qingqing saw him, she smiled lightly and said politely.
He Senwei smiled and said, "I didn't have to wait long. ”
He didn't want to beat around the bush, and directly talked about the purpose of this visit: "I'm going back to the Medicine King Valley, so I want to ask the princess's opinion to see if I will bring Aunt Zhen over for treatment?" ”
Sun Qingqing groaned, raised her hand and instructed Ah Ling: "Go, and Mama Qian pack Aunt Zhen's luggage." ”
Aunt Zhen is definitely going to the Medicine King Valley for treatment.
Sun Qingqing has long thought about this very thoroughly.
After Sun Qingqing finished giving these orders, he smiled at He Senwei: "Why don't you go with me to see Aunt Zhen first?" ”
He Senwei did not refuse.
When they came to the courtyard where Aunt Zhen was, Aunt Zhen was very happy with the arrival of the two of them.
She had even clapped her hands in joy.
And Sun Qingqing didn't say anything, just watched Aunt Zhen and He Senwei get along with each other.
He Senwei has now completely won the trust of Aunt Zhen, and Aunt Zhen does not reject him at all, and even reveals a faint joy at his touch.
This made Sun Qingqing very happy.
She knew it was time to send Aunt Zhen away.
Sun Qingqing went to a secret compartment in the courtyard room and took out a box.
The beautiful box is tightly closed, and it is impossible to see what's inside.
Sun Qingqing handed it over to He Senwei.
When He Senwei opened the box, he saw the medicinal herbs contained in it, and a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Because, this is Tianxin grass.
Sun Qingqing instructed: "I have handed over Tianxin Cao and Aunt Zhen to you, and I hope that Doctor He will not let me down." ”
"I will do my best to live up to the trust." He Senwei said respectfully.
It was only after a brief moment of surprise that he remembered what he had heard about the theft of treasures from the palace in recent days, and he understood what had happened, and accepted it calmly.
This kind of thing, put on Sun Qingqing, is not so unbelievable.
After He Senwei asked here, Sun Qingqing still went back to ask Aunt Zhen.
She didn't care whether Aunt Zhen understood it or not, she only said seriously: "Aunt Zhen, you will go with him next, go to the treatment, and come back to see me after the treatment." ”
Aunt Zhen looked at Sun Qingqing seriously.
Her dark eyes rolled slightly, and then she nodded earnestly.
This kind of Aunt Zhen is very different from the Aunt Zhen who was brought out of the Guogong Mansion at the beginning.
Sun Qingqing was pleasantly surprised.
Not long after He Senwei took Aunt Zhen away, an uninvited guest came to the palace again.
"Princess, the second prince is here." Lixia did not appear beside Sun Qingqing, and said respectfully: "It is said that I came to investigate the suspicion of the princess." ”
"Come on." Sun Qingqing did not have the slightest fear on her face, "I am waiting for you at any time." ”
Li Jinyu was ordered to check the whereabouts of those two treasures.
He used this power to find out if there were any suspicious things or secrets in the palace.
But to his great dissatisfaction, he did not get any useful information from such an investigation.
Li Shengshu had already hidden these things tightly, and he didn't give him any chance to explore them at all.
Li Jinyu thought about it, and then came to Lanchen Garden, where Sun Qingqing was.
"Why is the second prince here today?" After waiting outside the courtyard for a while, Sun Qingqing walked out slowly, with a slightly surprised expression.
Li Jinyu glanced at Lan Chenyuan, with a smile on her face, and her peach blossom eyes were full of grace: "Hello sister-in-law, my father ordered his sons and ministers to search for the whereabouts of the two treasures, but my sister-in-law left the banquet that day, and she was also suspected of stealing treasures, so she came to investigate." ”
His words were polite, but his gaze was unkind.
Li Jinyu's gaze is not as straightforward as Li Xiong's, but this kind of obscure gaze will still let people know what he thinks, which really makes Sun Qingqing a little uncomfortable.
Sun Qingqing smiled and said, "According to the second prince, my sister is also suspected of stealing treasures." ”
As soon as Li Jinyu heard her mention Sun Jiayao, there was a slightly ugly look on her face, but it was just a moment, and she responded freely: "That's natural." ”
"But now, I have to check the Lanchen Yuan according to the rules first."
As he spoke, he raised his hand directly.
The soldiers who followed Li Jinyu broke in directly.
And Li Jinyu also walked in quickly, and just hurriedly said: "Offended." ”
It was clear that Sun Qingqing was here, but he didn't ask Sun Qingqing's opinion at all, he just broke in directly, which really made Sun Qingqing a little worried.
But she didn't show it on her face.
Sun Qingqing let them rummage in the Lanchen Garden, originally standing and watching, but in the end they didn't bother to look at it.
She also deliberately moved a chair out and sat on the chair, as if she was watching a play, watching the movements of those soldiers.
Li Jinyu's eyes flashed: "Sister-in-law, don't go and see?" What if my soldiers are inflexible and mess up my sister-in-law's things? ”
"Since it's according to the rules, let them rummage through it." Sun Qingqing took a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
Her back was straight, and her expression was relaxed and indifferent, as if this matter really had nothing to do with her.
Li Jinyu stood behind her, staring at Sun Qingqing's beautiful back, her eyes were deep, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
When these soldiers finished checking all the things in Lanchen Garden, Sun Qingqing also drank the cup of tea in his hand.
She gently closed the lid of the cup with a crisp sound.
At this time, the guards came to report: "Back to Your Highness, we have not found anything suspicious. ”
Li Jinyu was suspicious.
He always felt that this matter was not so simple.
Sun Qingqing smiled and looked at Li Jinyu: "What?" After the investigation, the second prince should also leave, right? ”
