Chapter Forty-Six: The Bet
Sun Shining's long hair **** was scattered, and the charcoal fire in the house was burning hot, Dr. Zheng asked her to lie down on her stomach on the couch, saying that he would just give her another needle.
"Toxic attacks, even if you know it's a hallucination, will feel too real to resist." Zheng Ronghe took out a roll of deerskin, and after spreading it out, it was full of several rows of gold needles of different lengths.
Sun Shining tried to recall the last time she had a seizure, she saw Qiu Cheng's blood-red eyes in front of her, which was obviously not normal, and the only thought in her mind at that time was that he wanted to hurt her, he had to resist, he had to escape.
"Doctor, please save my girl, she is innocent, she has suffered a lot, and her body can't stand it." Holly cried and begged, and Zheng Ronghe asked Dragonfly to take her out, "I will do my best." ”
A golden needle stabbed steadily into the side of her neck, Sun Shining couldn't help but shiver, that painful and numb feeling, she didn't know how long she could hold on.
"Have you ever heard the story of Lord Fengqing?" Shen Nian sat down calmly and asked.
"I've never heard of it, I've only been in Tiandu for a few months, and before my father passed away, I rarely went out."
"The county lord of Fengqing is fatter than ordinary women, probably the weight of you and Holly combined." Shen Nianyi smiled and said, "When she was twenty years old, she didn't get married, so she went to ask the emperor to marry her, and it is said that in the morning of the next day, seven or eight out of ten old ministers said that they were sick and did not dare to face the emperor." ”
Sun Shining didn't expect Shen Nianyi to patiently tell her a story in order to distract her, his voice was clearer and clearer, his eyes were closed and he was particularly beautiful, and with a rare tenderness, which was heartbreaking.
The emperor naturally knew that this family affair was going to be even more difficult, so he privately consulted with a few trusted courtiers, and the candidates were lined up, all of which were not proper, so even the emperor was anxious.
The more urgent this matter is, the more clueless it is, the emperor thinks twice, it is better to put it aside, and finish this year's palace examination first.
Unexpectedly, just a few days later, the lord of Fengqing came to the palace again, saying that he and Xinke Tanhualang had spent the previous month and the moon, and they had mutual affection, hoping that the emperor would have a beautiful marriage.
The emperor clearly remembers the Tanhua of this department, Fengshen is handsome, and he is a talent, and some people once jokingly said that he is very good-looking, and he is not even under the Shaoqing Lord in Dali Temple.
With such a character and such a talent, how could he fall in love with the lord of Fengqing at first sight.
For the sake of prudence, the emperor specially invited the Xue family to ask what was going on, what the other party said coincided with the county lord of Fengqing, and it was really a pleasure between the two people, and he was worried that in addition to the title of the new science and technology tanhua, his family background was ordinary but he was not worthy of the county lord.
Good things will come to pass, the emperor Longyan Dayue, not only immediately pointed to the marriage, hand-picked the good period, but also sent many treasures and jewels to the county lord as a dowry, and also arranged a real errand for Xue Jiazhen, after the marriage, he can go to the Hanlin Pavilion to take up the new office.
"Did someone say that Tanhualang has ulterior motives, and the picture is definitely not the person of Fengqing County Lord?" Sun Shining asked in a low voice.
Shen Nianyi has a relationship with Xue Jiazhen in the court, he has always paid special attention to strangers, when Xue Jiazhen was standing in a secluded corner, listening to the points of others, looking at the formation, he has been standing for a long time, but he still lowered his eyebrows, very patient, good temper.
A mouthful of people came up and said with a low smile, this is the Tanhualang who is similar to Lord Shaoqing, but when the real person looks at it, how can he compare with Lord Shaoqing's temperament and demeanor, one is the bright moon and clear breeze without a trace of flowing clouds, and the other is carved from wood and clay.
Shen Nian glanced at it twice, Xue Jiazhen also happened to raise his head, his smile was kind, very pleasing to people's hearts, and he saw elegance between his eyebrows, and he was really similar to him, he didn't like to comment on such an occasion, quickened his pace, and hurriedly walked away, but he admired the vision of the county lord of Fengqing, Tanhualang really grew much better than the sons of several old ministers in the court.
Xue Jiazhen slowly prepared for the marriage, neither extravagant and wasteful, nor high-profile noise, the new house was set in his ancestral house, although the place was more remote, it still looked decent, the emperor was still not at ease, and sent someone to check, and the person who came back said that it was Tanhualang's ingenious thoughts, and the old house was newly decorated, which was very ingenious.
The county lord of Fengqing also stuffed a lot of private savings in private, and the Xue family really accepted it generously, and gave it to the marriage again.
Such a person, even the emperor can't find half of it for the time being, and the temperament of the county lord of Fengqing is naturally full of joy, just waiting to get married.
"What I just encountered on the street is the county lord's family send-off procession." Those bright red lips, Shen Nian couldn't look at them directly, and he admired the Xue family more and more for really cultivating kung fu, if he really had a plan, then he deserved to be so thoughtful and careful.
The story of other people's families slowly said, Sun Shining's body had been pierced like a little hedgehog, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, but she asked with a smile: "I want to ask, this is facing inside and out, but there are still things that Lord Shen doesn't know?" ”
Dali Temple is the news hub of the imperial court, to be honest, I am afraid that it is bright and dark, there are not many things that can hide from Shen Nianyi's ears and eyes, he heard Sun Shining's question, and saw that although she smiled, her eyebrows were frowned, obviously she didn't want others to worry, and her heart moved, reached over and held a hand she put on her side.
Sun Shining closed her eyes and was stunned, his fingers were slender and powerful, and the temperature was suitable, if she could be accompanied by these hands, she believed that whether it was splendid wealth or poor mountains and bad waters, it could make people sleep deeply and peacefully until dawn.
She was slightly happy, but she didn't dare to open her eyes, there was a third person in this medicine hall, she was afraid that as soon as she opened her eyes, she would see Dr. Zheng's playful demeanor.
Zheng Ronghe was obviously shocked when he saw Shen Nianyi's behavior, and quickly raised his eyes to look at him, but saw that he was not in a hurry, not impatient, tepid, and still sitting in his place, as if such an intimate behavior could not represent anything at all.
"When will the toxins in her body be resolved?" Shen Nianyi waited for Zheng Ronghe to pierce the last golden needle before asking slowly.
"It's hard to say, but I've used it to control her nerves, and the drug can't control her through the brain, and I can't let her hurt others and herself anymore." Zheng Ronghe opened the door and called Dragonfly to bring hot water to wash his hands, he was engrossed in applying the needle, and the clothes on his back were all soaked.
"And what I asked you earlier?"
"It looks similar to Miss Sun's symptoms, but not as fierce as her, according to her, at most, it will only be a day and a night, and she has lost control, if the people you come to ask are also like this, wouldn't it be terrible."
"Acute has acute benefits, and the more slowly something happens, the more harmful it is."
Sun Shining listened to the conversation between the two people and did not interject.
"Until the toxin is completely eliminated, she is not allowed to go home, and can only live in Zheng'an Hall."
"I also have this intention, if I cure her, I will not be afraid of those sudden symptoms."
Sun Shining finally couldn't hold back: "Before I came out, my stepmother had already spoken, saying that I would not return day and night, and that I was afraid that I would raise a man outside, and that it was better for me to move out of the Sun family as soon as possible, so as not to affect my younger siblings and her reputation." ”
"Where there is a family member who talks like this, even the stepmother should not." Zheng Ronghe, who has always been Sven, heard such foul words, and complained for her, "It's not up to you to be sick and you can call the shots, who is willing to be poisoned and pricked with needles and drink medicine!" ”
"I've thought about it, she is in charge of hers, and now that the power of the Sun family is in my hands, she can't take me." Sun Shining smiled, "It's hard to buy a murderer and kill me." ”
Shen Nianyi coughed lightly beside her and stopped her words, she was a little angry in her heart, and she said too much.
Zheng Ronghe looked at Shen Nianyi, and then looked at Sun Shining, these two people already had a tacit understanding and didn't know it, it was really interesting, he knew that Shen Nianyi was a proud and self-disciplined person, and he wouldn't easily pick it out without 100% certainty.
"Sir, where do you put the things you asked for from Miss Sun?" Dragonfly asked softly through the door.
Zheng Ronghe's face flushed, and he said in a low voice: "Put it on the table in my room first, no, no, give it to me directly, and I'll put it myself." ”
He opened the door and went out, leaving the two behind.
"He actually asked for a consultation fee?" Shen Nianyi's fingers tapped lightly twice on the tabletop and said softly.
"Dr. Zheng is clever and benevolent, if he really asks for a consultation, he should also ask for a consultation."
"He rarely asks for anything."
"If someone has a high position in his heart, then he feels that whatever he does for that person is worth it."
"What the Sun family is good at is rouge pollen, the women in the palace are the most beloved, and even you, the master, have never used it, Lao Zheng is really confused, thinking that those mundane things can move that person's heart."
Sun Shining listened to his tone, it was clear that she knew this woman, and she was a little curious: "I don't know who Dr. Zheng's sweetheart is?" ”
"You've seen it." Shen Nianyi had no intention of concealing it.
Sun Shining was able to meet a few people, and after a little thought, he was able to answer: "It's the Tang girl from Dali Temple." ”
"Xiao Tang has studied medicine with his father and grandfather since he was a child, where would he like these fat powders, in her words, it is better for a person to have no smell on his body that will confuse his ability to identify, so that he can accurately judge all the information that the corpse can provide."
Sun Shining listened to the rigorous tone of these words, thinking of Tang Churou's particularly slender figure, thin eyebrows and fine eyes, looking like the neighbor's little sister, she never thought that she could take on such a heavy responsibility, when she saw Xiao Tang standing beside Shen Nianyi that day, both of them were engrossed, and she still had a sour taste in her heart, thinking that the two of them would get the moon first when they were close to the Tailou water, I was afraid that they would be much more familiar than her.
"Lord Shen, I want to make a bet with you."
"Oh, what to bet on, and what is the bet?"
"Bet that after Dr. Zheng gave the Sun family's rouge gouache to Miss Tang, Miss Tang would gladly accept it or not like to return it."
"Then you accepted the bet gladly?"
"Exactly, the loser can do one thing for the winner, within his ability, not forced."
"Okay, I'll make this bet."
