Serpentine grass.

A rare poisonous weed in Yunjiang.

The juice is poisonous, but it is not deadly.

It's just that if a person's skin is stained with the juice of the serpentine grass, it will burst into dense tendons like a small snake.

Even if the poison is detoxified, those green tendons will not fade.

Shen Shu approached, unconsciously squatted down to check, and reached out to poke Chu Zhan's leg, which was obviously a little shriveled.

"But your poison has been resolved, but this green tendon, if you don't use the golden needle to guide it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to eliminate it for the rest of your life."

Chu Zhan had been paying close attention to her expression, and seeing that she didn't have the slightest intention of remembering, he finally sighed in frustration.

"You're right, it's indeed a serpentine."

Chu Zhan's voice was a little low: "After my father's death, in order to make the queen mother have more mercy, my mother smeared serpentine grass on my legs when I was very young.

There was a weak disease in the womb of the father, and one leg grew like this from birth, and it was lame. My mother told me since I was a child, "My legs are the same as my father's...... When she said more, I believed it, and I felt that I was really a cripple, and even my walking was gradually becoming lame, and I lived every day in disgust with myself, always thinking that others were laughing at me.

For this reason, I relied on the favor of the imperial grandmother and killed many people, many, many people, until I met you......"

"Meet me?" Shen Shu raised her head, her apricot eyes were confused.

She could be sure, certain, and certain, never before.

"Little prince, are you ...... Hysteria? Shen Shu asked seriously.

Chu Zhan looked at her appearance, stretched out his hand with a smile, and held her little face: "I don't have hysteria, these are all things from the previous life." In my last life, you told me that I was a normal person, and that being crippled was just my imagination. You are in this room, researching medicines, testing medicines, and administering needles to my legs. ”

As he spoke, tears suddenly flashed in his eyes: "You healed my legs, and you healed my heart." But in the end, you died behind my back...... I haven't even had time to repay the favor. So now, I'm rushing to you, in this life, I promise to you, okay? ”

Shen Shu felt that her brain was not enough.

What she asked was what was going on in this room, and how did it get to the topic of "making promises"?

What's more-

At this moment, her little face was almost pinched into a bun by Chu Zhan.

This is almost an "indecent" move, which makes Shen Shu's heart rush up!

"Let it go...... Hand ......"

"You promise to marry me, otherwise you won't let go."

"You can't let it go."

"Don't let go."

Shen Shu's apricot eyes were about to erupt with fire, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to push him away-

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, a majestic female voice came from the door!

The familiar voice made Shen Shu frown.

It also made Chu Zhan let go of his hand in amazement.

"Mother?"

Chu Zhan stood up, not forgetting to grab Shen Shu's arm and pull her up.

Then, on one side of his body, he blocked in front of Shen Shu, and asked the visitor in surprise, "Why did you come here?" ”

Mother ......

Princess Rui?

Shen Shu was stunned, hurriedly straightened her sleeves and turned around.

Through the gap in Chu Zhan's arm, she hurriedly saw a middle-aged woman in a purple palace dress, who was being surrounded by a group of people and standing at the door.

The woman looked like she was about forty or fifty years old, her facial features were a little sharp, and she didn't look very similar to Chu Zhan.

The black hair with silver threads was combed into a fallen horse bun, and there were a few hairpins of pearls.

It is neither too luxurious, nor does it look simple, but also implies a compelling majesty.

Shen Shu looked at her face, and a vague picture unexpectedly appeared in her mind.

In the picture, the woman in front of her, wearing the princess's life clothes, is full of pearls, and sits high in the hall covered with a long plush carpet.

She said indifferently: "From now on, you will live in the palace, and I will send someone to teach you everything you should learn." As for...... Whether you can do what you want to do depends on your own creation. ”

The one thing you want to do...... Good luck......

Shen Shu shook her head, before she had time to think deeply about what "that incident" was and what "creation" was-

Suddenly, a sharp voice scolded: "Bold, where did the vulgar woman come from, she dared not kneel when she saw the princess!" ”

Shen Shu was suddenly awakened by this sound, and her scalp tightened.

She knew that the royal rules were great, and she was about to kneel down and confess—

was pulled by Chu Zhan beside him with his backhand.

"Mother, this is my son's life-saving benefactor, don't be so fierce to her."

Shen Shuxing's eyes widened slightly.

Nonsense, when did she save his life?

"A lifesaver?"

Princess Lao Rui sneered coldly: "You are dignified King Rui, there are countless secret guards around you, why do you need a woman to save your life, I think you are fascinated."

Lonely men and widows are disheveled in this house, let me see what they look like, dare to seduce my son like this. “

This kind of face-to-face verbal insult is something Shen Shu has never encountered.

She clenched her palms, and was about to walk past Chu Zhan to the front to justify herself-

But he was once again protected behind him by Chu Zhan's backhand.

"Mother!"

Chu Zhan's voice was slightly deep, with a deep displeasure: "My son asked her to treat my leg, so I will come here and be innocent with her." Believe it or not, she is her son's savior. Since you say that your son is the king of Rui, then whoever the son invites in the palace of the king of Rui is the son's business, if the mother does not know how to respect the son's life-saving benefactor, please go back. ”

As he spoke, a pair of eyes coldly swept over the attendants who followed the princess on the left and right, and said in a majestic voice: "Whoever dares to shout in front of this king in the future will be killed." ”

These words frightened the eunuch who was shouting, his legs weakened, and he knelt straight on the ground.

"Bastard!"

Princess Lao Rui shouted angrily: "You, a disobedient and unfilial son, dare to be a woman and contradict me like this!" Are you trying to me off to be happy? ”

Shen Shu, who was blocked by Chu Zhan, only felt a chill in her back when she heard this.

With only these two sentences, the mother and son quarreled for her to the point of dying or living.

Not to mention how she walked out of this courtyard today, if it was spread out......

Shen Shu closed her eyes.

She knew that at this time, she had no choice but to pretend to be dead.

Not only do you have to play dead, but you also have to bury your head a little lower.

It is best not to let the other party see what they look like.

Chu Zhan's hand behind him tapped her arm lightly to show comfort.

He used that casual and angry tone and said: "The mother concubine does not need to threaten the king with death, the life of the king was saved by this girl, and if the mother concubine wants to embarrass her, she will force her son to be ungrateful." This is different from what the imperial grandmother has always taught her son, why don't the son go to the palace now and find the imperial grandmother to evaluate the ceremony? ”

As he spoke, he grabbed Shen Shu's wrist, walked past Princess Lao Rui and walked towards the courtyard.

"Stop!"

Princess Lao Rui was furious: "Come on, stop them!" Arrest that woman! ”

As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen secret guards stopped in front of them in an instant.
