Chapter 435: Faking Illness
In the past two days, Shi Qingqian still chose to stay in Meiyuan obediently.
The rest of the matter was handed over to Shen Shu and Shi An to deal with, and according to them, things went very smoothly, and all the farmers who planted herbs had agreed to Shen Shu's request, including Xi Manwan.
Shen Shu thought about it for a long time, but still chose to establish a 'partner' relationship with Shi An, and used his caravan to transport herbs to the capital and all over the world, and the imperial court would give Shi An a certain subsidy.
Now that the matter of this medicinal herb has been dealt with, all that remains is to 'close the net'.
Shi Qingqian pretended to have a sudden deterioration in her condition, lying in bed and unable to get up, relying on Xi Manwan to take care of her for the past two days.
To be honest, she still has some regrets in her heart, she hasn't fallen ill to that extent, she just pretended to be sick, but she wants to provoke so many people to care so much, whether it is Xi Manwan or Shi An, even Xue Ying didn't tell her about this matter.
So Xue Ying had already cried several times, she really thought that Shi Qingqian was about to die.
"Ahem, ahem...... Ahem! Shi Qingqian lay on the bed, coughing violently.
Her face was pale, her lips were chapped, and the dark blue under her eyes was much worse.
This appearance does have makeup ingredients, Shi Qingqian took poison, and his lung strength failed, but it didn't reach this extent, but the coughing sound was really from the heart.
The heart-rending coughing sound, coupled with Shi Qingqian's superb, fake makeup, makes people feel that every time she coughs, she uses up all her strength, and if she is not careful, she may die immediately.
"Woo woo woo...... Miss, you must hold on! Xue Ying knelt at the head of the bed, grabbed Shi Qingqian's hand and cried, "What the hell is going on...... Miss is a miracle doctor, why can't she treat herself......"
Shi Qingqian desperately apologized in his heart, reached out and held Xue Ying's hand, and said in a low voice: "Ying'er, don't worry, I want to promise...... I'm absolutely fine, healers can't save themselves, that's the truth......"
"Okay, okay, Ying'er, Miss Qi'er will be fine...... Xi Manwan comforted softly on the side, "Today's condition is much better than yesterday's, and she will get better soon!" ”
Xue Ying could only nod with difficulty, and before she could withdraw her hand, she suddenly felt an extremely unfamiliar force coming from Shi Qingqian's hand holding her. That strength is definitely not something that Shi Qingqian can do after being sick for so many days!
When she was puzzled, Shi Qingqian pinched her again, as if he was hinting at something?
"Miss......?" Xue Ying looked at Shi Qingqian, but her gaze still did not change, and she still looked completely devoid of energy like Fang Cai, but in the next second, Shi Qingqian's fingertips came with a lot of strength.
Xue Ying was not a fool, she knew that Shi Qingqian was hinting at her. She also knew that Shi Qingqian, who was supposed to be seriously ill, should not have such strength, and she did, which shows that ......
Could it be that my own lady is okay?
"Ahem, cough, cough, Ying'er, ahem, I, I seem to be a little uncomfortable, what about Shen Shu? Is Shen Shu back......" Shi Qingqian withdrew his hand and asked painfully.
"Slaves, slaves don't know ......" Xue Ying stayed by Shi Qingqian's side all day, not leaving an inch at all, she twisted towards Ah Mo, who was standing in the distance, and said, "Ah Mo! Is Childe back? If you come back...... Bring him here! ”
"Ah...... Yes? Okay, okay," Ah Mo was suddenly called, and seemed to be a little unable to react, so he could only throw away the things in his hand with a confused face, "Slave maid, let's go take a look!" ”
Not long after, Ah Mo called Shen Shu, who had just returned to the Mei Courtyard, over.
Shen Shu was in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he rushed in, "Guy! What's wrong with you!? ”
"Shen Shu......" Shi Qingqian stretched out his hand with difficulty.
"Miss, Childe has just arrived at Meiyuan...... I'm sorry for the delay...... "Mo explained even more breathlessly.
Shen Shu didn't have time to care about the others, he reached out and touched Shi Qingqi's cheek, "Er...... You've got to hold on! I, I'm going to prepare the carriage and horses, and we'll leave for the capital tonight! ”
Shi Qingqian nodded desperately, "As long as you return to the capital...... Let, let Shu Ziping take a look...... He is a miracle healer, and he will cure me......"
"Xue Ying! Spread the word to everyone, the children are seriously ill, let them quickly clean up, and we will leave in the middle of the night tonight! ”
"Yes! Slave and maid, go now! Xue Ying cried and shouted, and hurriedly ran back.
Ah Mo bit his lip, if he returned to the capital now, Shi Qingqian would probably not be able to die! If she asked Shi Qingqian to go back alive, her head would ...... You have to be forced to pout!
"Wait, Childe, if you go back now, what will you do with your official business?"
Shen Shu's eyes were cold, and he glanced at Ah Mo, "Is it important that official business can have a child's life?" If the maid discusses politics, you are not afraid of killing your head! ”
"The slave knows what is wrong!" Amo was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground, "The slave is too talkative!" The slave and maid punish themselves with their palms! But...... But before leaving, let the young lady drink the medicine again...... Along the way, there is no way to continue taking medicine, and drinking a bowl of medicine before leaving can be regarded as a comfort......"
Shen Shu snorted coldly, the medicine was obviously getting worse the more he drank, "No need, that medicine is useless at all, let's hurry up and go back to the capital." Miss Xi, please go and tell Ziqing first. ”
"Why did you ...... so suddenly" Xi Manwan sighed, "Alas, I'm going to ...... now"
Shen Shu patted Shi Qingqi's head, and drew a few circles on Shi Qingqian's forehead with the tip of his index finger, "Qian'er, I'll go and tidy up my things first, you have a good rest here, and we will set off in the middle of the night." ”
Shi Qingqian chuckled and nodded.
"Ah Mo, you should also go and tidy up your things first, and let Qi'er sleep here alone for a while."
With that, Shen Shu left the room with Amo.
As soon as everyone left, Shi Qingqian's gaze changed instantly, and his weak appearance was much clearer.
Shen Shu's little action just now was the code they had agreed upon, and when Shen Shu did this, it would mean that it was time to close the net.
In fact, they can't be sure that this method will work, but they can only give it a go-
pretended to go back to the capital, and forced the attacker to have to kill the killer at the last time, forcing him to show his feet.
Shi Qingqian waited quietly in the dark, but the fist hidden under the futon was already clenched......
