Chapter 139: Sacrifice

Regarding those rumors outside, Fu Zhangzhu has never taken it seriously, and she still lives by the rules every day.

I just came back from outside this day, and I just sat down to drink two sips of hot tea to warm up my body, and the little guy next to Chu Yuanzhen came to ask Zhangzhu to go over and take a look, and Chu Yuanzhen's leg hurt again.

Zhangzhu knew it, and without saying a word, he hurriedly got up and went.

Fortunately, it is not too far from Nianzi Lane to Baicaotang, and the maid bowed and went in. She saw Yuanzhen standing under the window, dressed in a plain white robe, with a moon-white palace silk and purse sachets tied around her waist. Rumo's hair was draped over her shoulders like a black satin, and it was a little wet, and it looked like it had just been washed. There is a bookcase standing on the east wall over there, on which is an incense burner, in which incense sticks are inserted, a room full of sandalwood fragrance, and next to the incense burner there is a black-glazed garlic bottle, and three or five white camellia flowers are inserted in the bottle.

Is this a tribute to anyone? It's not good to ask more.

Chu Yuanzhen turned her head and saw her come in, so she said, "Please Miss Fu go to the next room and sit down for a while, and I will come over immediately." ”

Zhangzhu nodded in agreement, and she went to the room designated by Yuanzhen. After waiting for a while, she heard the sound of crutches hitting the ground, and hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, he came in, his hair tied back with a ribbon on his head, revealing his whole face pale from sickness.

Zhangzhu had already gotten up, and Yuan Zhen walked in on crutches, and then sat down on the circle chair over there. Zhangzhu stepped forward and said a few words of concern.

"It's been cold for the past two days, in addition to leg pain, have you ever had a heart disease?"

Chu Yuanzhen stared at the folded branch flowers embroidered on the clothes of the palm beads and replied, "I made a fuss in the middle of the night last night, but with the clouds you gave me, it will not be a big deal if you smell it." ”

In other words, after treating it for so long, there was not much effect at all, Zhangzhu went to pull the trouser leg again, revealing the knee she had bandaged with her own hands a few days ago, and took a small pair of scissors to carefully cut the gauze layer by layer, and wiped it off with cotton dipped in warm water little by little, she carefully observed his diseased knee, which was already swollen to a high level, and the fluid in it still did not dissipate with a gentle touch. Could it be that there is something wrong with her medication?

"I've used all the methods I can think of for your leg, but now it's still not getting better, why don't you ask the second son to ask another master?" After trying hard, but still unsuccessful, Zhangzhu felt that it was necessary to persist any longer, she was just an ordinary doctor, and she did not have the ability to cure all incurable diseases.

"Miss Fu doesn't insist anymore?"

"If it doesn't work, I don't know what else can be done, won't continuing to treat it delay your condition?"

Chu Yuanzhen smiled slightly: "Miss Fu, your medicine is not ineffective at all, at least the pain is much better this year, in previous years, it was difficult for me to even go to the ground at this time, at least this year I walked around on crutches." Isn't it too early for you to give up like that? ”

Hearing this, Zhangzhu couldn't help but look up at him, and his dark eyes were also staring at him. With the previous son, he is really a handsome man, but unlike Xun Shao's sassy handsomeness, he was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a curled nose and thin lips, but with a strong bookish atmosphere, and there is no sourness of those scholars outside, maybe it is a royal family, and his behavior reveals this bit of nobility, this temperament is innate, and others can't learn it.

After a few glances, Zhangzhu hurriedly withdrew her gaze again, and she said, "If the second son can trust my medical skills, I can also try it again if he wants to continue." ”

"If I hadn't trusted you, I wouldn't have promised you to heal me."

Yuan Zhen said: "I'm tired." ”

Zhangzhu hurriedly took the ointment that had been adjusted a long time ago and applied it to him little by little.

Neither of them spoke again, and there was silence in this room, and the palm beads carefully applied the medicine to him skillfully, and the technique was a little gentle.

When the palm beads were wrapped for him, Yuan Zhen hurriedly called Haiyue and instructed her: "Go and fetch twenty taels of silver and give it to Miss Fu." ”

Haiyue agreed and went, Zhangzhu packed up the medicine box, and asked casually: "Is the second son paying tribute to which old man?" ”

"The one you love in your heart." This is Won-jeong's answer.

Zhangzhu continued: "If you have such a heart, if she knows it underground, her heart will surely be happy. It's just ......" Zhangzhu realized that if he continued, it would be a bit arrogant.

Chu Yuanzhen was listening to her words, but she didn't know that Zhangzhu only said the beginning but stopped abruptly, and hurriedly asked, "Just what?" ”

"It's just that the living have to go on bravely in order to truly comfort the dead. You can take her to heart and never forget that it is the greatest happiness for her. ”

Chu Yuanzhen was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then said, "Miss Fu is right. But the person who can say such a thing does not seem to be open-minded, this woman is a little strange and hides everything in her heart, and she does not easily confide in outsiders, she is obviously just a little girl.

That Haiyue had already taken the money, and the palm beads were all accepted, and she retreated.

Chu Yuanzhen sat there in a daze, never moving a step.

The seventeenth day of the winter month is the day of Xie Ruoyi's death. Now in this world, I am afraid that he is the only one who remembers this day.

When Chu Yuanzhen was hesitating, Haiying sent a letter in, Chu Yuanzhen opened it and looked at it, but it was written by Liao Kai. He frowned slightly, and looked at it at a glance.

After reading it, he instructed the people around him: "Let people prepare the car, I will go out." ”

Haiying was a little flustered and said: "The second master's legs and feet are inconvenient, and Miss Fu said that she wants to recuperate, so she won't go out." It is the same if there is something commanded to go down and be done. ”

Chu Yuanzhen said stubbornly: "Prepare the car!" ”

Chu Yuanzhen asked the maid to change his clothes again, and then boarded the car to go back to the palace.

The last time he went back to the palace was three days ago, after getting off the car this time, he still went directly to Yin'an Palace to meet his mother first, and the tenth princess saw him, and he couldn't help but care about a few words: "The weather is getting colder and colder, can you still stand it?" ”

"Mother Lao cares, and she has been taking medicine to recuperate recently, but she is quite tough."

The tenth princess heard that there was no other word for him, and then Chu Yuanzhen went to see his father again, and it was inconvenient for him to disturb the ten kings if there were guests there, and then went to Yuanheng's outer study to wait.

The little servant in front of Yuan Heng said to him: "Second master, the prince has something to go out, and he doesn't know when he will come back, do you want to wait here all the time?" ”

"It's all right, I'll wait for him right here."

It wasn't until the time of the lamp that Yuanheng came back, and Yuanzhen sat here for a full hour and a half, and when he saw his brother, he immediately got up and said, "Brother, my brother has something to ask for." ”

When Yuan Heng heard about it, he didn't have anything else to say, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you so anxious?" ”
