Chapter 760: Follow-up
The next day, Shen Shu was the first to come to his senses. Changwu had been staying by Shen Shu's side, but in the middle of the night, he felt really tired and simply slept on the side of the bed.
Shen Shu woke up suddenly, so frightened that Changwu got up from the ground with a cleverness, and said in a daze: "Whew...... Lord, you have finally woken up, how do you feel now? ”
Shen Shu was slightly stunned for a moment, and the memory of the last second was still in the sea of fire, beside him was Shi Qingqian who had fainted and the third master of the house who was holding the beam...... How did you get here? He looked around privately, and there was a tearing pain from his back from the movement that had pulled his body, needless to say that it must have been a wound left by the fire, and he recognized that the style here was like that of the Hou Mansion.
It seems that he didn't go back all night after he passed out, "Changwu, how is Qi'er?" You guys aren't hurt, are you? ”
Changwu shook his head, went up to help Shen Shu, who wanted to get out of bed and change his clothes, and said: "The princess fainted in the sea of fire yesterday, but fortunately, the imperial doctor and Lang Zhong have gone to see it, and there is no big problem. Well...... The third master suffered some minor injuries, but it was fine, but the imperial doctor said that he must have a scar on his hand. ”
Saying that, he went to the side to get the ointment that had already been prepared, and the imperial doctor had instructed him to apply the ointment three times a day to apply cold compresses to the wound before leaving, "It's just that Baoyue Courtyard is afraid that it can't be saved, last night the people in the Hou Mansion worked with us for most of the night, and the Baiguo Mansion also sent someone to help, I heard that Baoyue Courtyard has been burned to the point that there is nothing left, and it looks like a pile of blackened wooden shelves, alas......"
Shen Shu sat down obediently, pulled down the placket of his shirt and asked Changwu to apply the medicine, while thinking about what Changwu said, he only felt that there was always something negligent, and after pondering for a while, he tilted his head and asked, "Then, have you found out why the fire started?" ”
"It's just that the wind blew at night from the Baiguo Mansion, and it was so dry in September that the red lanterns hung in the Baoyue Courtyard burned the haystack next to the house, and the fire spread into the house." Nagago shrugged his shoulders, and this kind of scene was also to deal with the guests, "But who knows what the truth is?" ”
"Huh? Is there anything else suspicious? Shen Shu took care of himself and gave himself a glass of cold wine to eat, Changwu hurriedly wanted to come up and obstruct it but couldn't stop it, so he could only let him go.
"I'm afraid that the prince doesn't know, Ying'er was already unconscious when she was pulled out, and when she woke up, she asked and said that she was knocked unconscious," Changwu said, "As for Xiaolian next to the princess...... It was found in the grass outside the Baoyue Temple, she said that she went out to warm the wine, but she fainted after being beaten by someone, and the wine jug was indeed found next to her......"
So, the two stand-in envoys were knocked unconscious?
There are few people in Baoyue Courtyard, and on the wedding night, they either go to rest lazily, or go to join in the fun, but there are only two of them who make people faint, and no one will believe it if there is no other reason.
But the person behind the action was inevitably too bold, not to mention that the Hou Mansion and the Baiguo Mansion were not something that ordinary people could afford to provoke, that person dared to burn down the Baoyue Courtyard when Shi Qingqian finally returned home, such a clear purpose was to get rid of Shi Qingqian, and the murderous intent was so heavy......
"Lord, lord?" Changwu's calling voice woke up Shen Shu who was in deep thought, the medicine was already ready, and he also carefully wrapped the medicine in bandages so as not to rub it everywhere, "The medicine is good, and the subordinates serve the prince to freshen up and change clothes?" ”
"Okay, I'll go see how it's going over there."
Speaking of which, no matter whether you walk in the water or are knocked unconscious by the female envoy, yesterday was Shi Nian's wedding day after all. In the evening, Shi Nian and Bai Yueyi still drank wine and went to the cave room together, and it was also a necessary process for the bride to go to the elders for tea this morning, and the elders in the three rooms had already gone, so it seemed that the courtyard was empty.
Shen Shu didn't rush to see how Shi Qingqian was, anyway, no one in her mother's house would treat her badly, fortunately, she wanted to go to the small kitchen in the Hou Mansion and find the mother in charge to make new fish porridge and Qingkou side dishes, so she took the food box to the house where Shi Qingqian was placed.
"Why? When did you wake up? Shen Shu pushed the door in, and saw Shi Qingqi sitting on the bed holding a steaming teacup, his legs still hidden in the quilt, Xue Ying and Xiaolian were sitting on the edge of Shi Qingqi's bed, and when they saw Shen Shu coming in, they hurriedly stood up, and put away the stool they were sitting on by the way.
It seemed that the three masters and servants were talking about something, Shi Qingqian showed a worried look when he saw Shen Shu, and stretched out his arms as if he was going to catch him: "Hmm, Shen Shu!" It's great that you're okay...... I'm really scared to death. ”
Shen Shu smiled dotingly, walked over and gently poked Shi Qingqi's head, but he didn't expect her to pounce on her like a cute tumbler and hug her waist, Shen Shu smiled helplessly, so she had to reach out and stroke her soft hair a few times, and slowly sat down, "I'm worried that your family officials won't come to see me?" Okay, okay, haven't eaten yet, right? ”
As he spoke, Changwu opened the food box he brought, and the aroma of fish porridge immediately wafted to the tip of Shi Qingqi's nose, which caused her thoughts to be immediately hooked by the little goblin who lingered on the tip of her nose, and leaned over to look at the food box: "Fish, fish porridge?" ”
"Fish porridge!" Shen Shu smiled, picked up one of the bowls and put it under the tip of Shi Qingqi's nose, and deliberately turned the bowl, causing Shi Qingqi to move his head in the direction of the fish porridge.
Seeing that she was really hungry, Shen Shu couldn't bear to tease her anymore, so he hurriedly put the fish porridge away, and said lightly: "Okay, Xiaolian, go and bring hot water and towels to the princess to freshen up, it just so happens that the fish porridge is still hot." ”
Shen Shu said so, and Shi Qingqian didn't want to make himself too dirty and messy, so he obediently went to the side to freshen up.
Shen Shu sat on the table and set up the food, and didn't know what to think about for a while while holding his chin, and suddenly called Xue Ying's name: "Xue Ying, come here." ”
"Ahh Xue Ying was stunned for a moment, but still walked over.
"I'll look at your neck." Shen Shu said.
Xue Ying realized that Shen Shu also knew that he and Xiaolian were knocked unconscious, so he had to squat down and lift the broken hair that covered the back of his neck.
