There was no movement in the small building.
Chengfeng thought the two people inside had gone to bed, so he knocked on the door again.
The door was suddenly opened from the inside and Pei Zheng walked out.
"Master, the Queen's side..."
"What is it?"
"I don't know." Cheng Feng bowed, "But the Second Princess suddenly had a bout of poisoning just now, and her life was hanging by a thread. She was taken to the Imperial Hospital by the palace people. The Queen should have heard about this."
Pei Zheng pinched his brows and took a step to leave.
Cheng Feng said, "Master, wait a minute... The Queen has also summoned Master Shen to enter the palace."
Pei Zheng paused and turned back.
Chengfeng thought he was going to go in and call Shen Shijiu out, but Pei Zheng just closed the door.
After leaving the back garden, he sent Li Yu to take care of the small building personally, and then Pei Zheng went straight out of the prime minister's residence and into the palace, and Chengfeng followed him.
—After entering the palace, Pei Zheng was not in a hurry to go to the Queen's bedroom, but instead came to the Imperial Hospital.
It's so late but the people in the Imperial Hospital have not rested yet and the lights are brightly on.
Chengfeng suddenly knew why Pei Zheng came here.
As expected, when Pei Zheng entered the Imperial Hospital, he did not go to look for Jiang Yubai, but went directly to the room where Qi Bingzhi was and pushed the door open.
Chengfeng was guarding the door.
Qi Bingzhi was lying in bed, looking very bad. When she heard the voice, she thought it was Xiaomei bringing medicine.
"I said I don't want to drink, take it away!"
There was a figure standing in front of the bed, blocking most of the light. It was not Xiaomei.
When Qi Bingzhi saw Pei Zheng, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"Sir, why are you here? Do you know I'm here?"
Pei Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at her, his eyes were cold and without any warmth.
He was still a little confused. She had been targeting Shen Shijiu. Could it be that she knew something
But it's impossible.
Likeness is likeness, and there is no way for others to verify it.
Moreover, Shen Shijiu's appearance had changed completely. In the eyes of the world, even the art of disguise could not be completely flawless.
But the mask on Shen Shijiu's face made it impossible to tell.
There must be something wrong with his mysterious master.
Qi Bingzhi saw Pei Zheng's eyes looking through him and he didn't know what he was looking at. He quickly struggled to sit up and pulled Pei Zheng's clothes regardless of the discomfort in his body.
horn.
"Sir, do you believe what I said?" She coughed twice. "Doctor Jiang has also examined me and found that I was indeed poisoned. Do you also believe that I was harmed by a villain?"
These words immediately angered Pei Zheng. He reached out and grabbed Qi Bingzhi's clothes and threw her under the bed as easily as throwing a rag.
Pei Zheng has never been a good person or a gentleman. He will not let go of anyone who offends him, no matter if they are elderly people or weak women.
"Villain?" Pei Zheng walked over slowly. "I wonder who the villain the princess is talking about is?"
After he finished speaking, he had already walked in front of Qi Bingzhi, with the tip of his boots pointing at her fingers.
Qi Bingzhi was so dizzy from the fall that he spoke without restraint, "Of course, it's Shen Shijiu."
The sole of the boot stepped directly on Qi Bingzhi's fingers. She immediately screamed in pain and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Pei Zheng exerted a little force with his feet, and with a "crack", a finger was broken. Qi Bingzhi was in so much pain that she couldn't even scream. She was almost fainting from the poison, the fall, and the broken finger.
"It's just a small pain, can't you bear it?"
What about what she had instructed Qi Yirou to do to the little guy? Have you ever thought about whether he could bear it
Pei Zheng bent his knees, and with a few more "crackling" sounds, his other fingers were also broken.
Qi Bingzhi could no longer hold on, his body fell limply and he fainted.
However, a trail of blood slowly spread from under her dress.
Xiaomei, who was outside the door, had wanted to come in for a long time, but Chengfeng was guarding there, so she couldn't take even a single step and was extremely anxious.
She went to find Jiang Yubai, hoping that Jiang Yubai had a good relationship with Pei Zheng and might be able to help her princess.
Jiang Yubai rushed to the front of the house and became furious when he saw Chengfeng.
"Get out of my way."
Chengfeng, of course, didn't move.
"Give way or not! This is my territory, you all have to listen to me!"
Chengfeng looked at him and didn't even frown at the threat.
Jiang Yubai stood at the door and shouted loudly.
"Pei Zheng! Get out here! I'm telling you, the Queen said that if the Second Princess makes any mistake, everyone in the Imperial Hospital will be killed! If I die, you'll die with me! And you!"
Jiang Yubai pointed at Chengfeng, but Chengfeng suddenly held his hand.
While he was trying desperately to pull his hand out, the door of the room opened.
Pei Zheng looked calm and walked out without looking around.
Chengfeng immediately let go of Jiang Yubai.
Jiang Yubai took a look inside and was almost scared to death. The second princess was lying in a pool of blood, and her fingers were obviously twisted, looking horrible.
"Pei, Pei Pei Zheng!"
"Don't worry, he's not dead." Pei Zheng didn't stop and continued walking outside, "You won't die either."
Jiang Yubai was so frightened by him that he didn't even have time to scold him. He rushed into the house to check on Qi Bingzhi's condition.
Pei Zheng straightened his sleeves and walked towards the queen's bedroom under the moonlight.
When Li Yu pushed open the door of the small building, he was actually still feeling a little resentful and conflicted.
In the past few years, he was arranged by the master to work in the mansion. He was the master's second confidant besides Chengfeng, but in fact he couldn't understand why the master trusted him so much.
This small building has been empty for three years.
It also means that Pei Zheng's heart has been empty for three years.
Li Yu knew that every time Pei Zheng returned home, he would sleep in the small building most of the time.
Li Yu also knew that even if Pei Zheng slept in the small building, he would always have nightmares at night, and would keep calling a title, a name.
But why is this small building allowed to allow others to live in it today
Moreover, Li Yu was not a fool. He could see how much Shen Shijiu resembled his own little prince. When he was told that the lord had no other intentions, Li Yu was the first one to not believe it.
It was pitch dark inside the small building and you could smell alcohol as soon as you entered.
Did they both drink
With so many things happening tonight and the situation being so critical, are you still in the mood to drink
Li Yu lit a candle and slowly walked towards the bed, wanting to see if the naked person had changed clothes or vomited.
When the dim light of the candlestick was shone over, it could be clearly seen that Shen Shijiu was only wearing a white inner shirt. His outer robe had been taken off. Even though he was drunk, he slept very well and did not vomit.
Li Yu felt relieved, put the candlestick aside, and covered the naked person with a quilt.
When the quilt was pulled down to his neck, a patch of red appeared under his half-open collar.
Li Yu frowned. What happened? Was he injured just now
He gently pulled the collar of his shirt and suddenly froze in place.
red lotus.
Why is there a red lotus here
Why does he have this tattoo
Li Yu's mind was in a mess. He pulled back his hand, slowly half-knelt beside the bed, frowned and thought carefully.
From the first time I met the little prince to the first time I met Shen Nineteen, the two of them overlapped infinitely, and every part fit perfectly...
So that's how it is.
Li Yu knelt down beside the bed and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
So that's how it is.
The adults wanted to come to the small building to look after it themselves, probably because they wanted me to discover it.
There were too many doubts in her heart and too many things she wanted to say, but Li Yu just knelt beside the bed and cried and cried, unable to utter a word.
**People don’t know anything and sleep soundly.
—I realized that it was bright daylight.
After Shen Shijiu finally woke up, he felt a little dizzy and his throat was not very comfortable.
The red lotus on his collarbone had long since disappeared, leaving only a patch of white.
"Awake? Come, drink this first."
Shen Shijiu was lifted up in a daze by a hand. A bowl of clear and sweet soup was brought to his lips. He opened his mouth and took a sip.
“So sweet… so delicious…”
Li Yu patted his back and said, "Drink slowly."
After finishing the bowl of sobering soup, Shen Shijiu’s mind finally started to work again.
"Butler Li..." He looked around, "Where am I..."
Just as Li Yu was about to answer him, Shen Shijiu tapped his forehead.
"Oh, I remember now, this is the small building, right? My Lord brought me here yesterday, my stupid head."
Li Yu looked at him and saw that he had knocked his forehead red. He felt so distressed that he quickly rubbed it for him.
"Who said our Highness is stupid? He is the smartest."
After these words were spoken, both of them were stunned.
Shen Shijiu blinked and looked at Li Yu with an innocent and pure look.
"Butler Li, what did you call me just now? I don't think I heard it clearly."
Li Yu exhaled and whispered, "Fortunately I didn't hear it clearly."
"Ah? I didn't hear it clearly." Shen Shijiu frowned.
"It's okay, it's okay. I just called you the wrong name. What was your name? I just forgot it."
Shen Shijiu thought Li Yu really forgot his name and looked a little sad, but he still told Li Yu obediently.
"Butler Li, my name is Shen Nineteen."
At this time, there was a knock on the door by a servant.
"Butler Li, please come out quickly. Someone is coming from the palace."
Li Yu hurried to the front yard and saw that several guards from the palace were escorting someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Shen Shijiu was really curious and insisted on following along to take a look.
The man looked up and it turned out to be Zhou Wu, an apprentice from the Imperial Hospital. He looked like he had been whipped, with countless scars all over his body, and he seemed to have lost his mind.
The guards said, "Prime Minister Pei asked us to send the man here. He said he was a serious criminal and wanted to be kept in the Prime Minister's Mansion for interrogation."
Li Yu understood what was going on, and sent someone to send Zhou Wu to the secret cell in the Prime Minister's Residence and lock him up, waiting for the prime minister to come back before making a decision.
Shen Jiujiu didn't know what was going on. He tugged at Li Yu's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Butler Li, what crime did Zhou Wu commit?" After Li Yu dismissed everyone else, he turned around and supported Shen Jiujiu.
He always had the thought that the health of the person in front of him must be the same as before, not so good, and he was so frail and delicate that he would definitely get tired if he stood for a long time.
But in fact, Shen Shijiu's body has been taken care of by Shen Huan, and even when he was injured, he always recovered faster than ordinary people. Now his knees and palms only hurt a little.
"Why is it still like this? The scar has healed and the pain has been forgotten. How do you think the Second Princess poisoned you? And how could she frame you?"
"Hmm... well... I don't know..."
Li Yu patiently explained to him that the only people who were familiar with the Second Princess's daily prescriptions were Shen Shijiu and Zhou Wu. Zhou Wu was usually too close to the Princess and had long attracted the adults' attention...
After the explanation, Shen Shijiu finally understood.
"Zhou Wu, he actually wanted to harm me, and I considered him a friend..."
Shen Shijiu curled his lips and felt very sad.
Li Yu sighed and said nothing more.
The two turned around and continued walking into the prime minister's residence.
"Butler Li, the master has gone to the palace, right?"
"Um."
"When will you be back?"
"I don't know about that either. It depends on when the Queen is willing to release him."
"Then, will the adults be in danger?"

Li Yu was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Yes."
"But the adults will be fine."
Shen Shijiu felt that he was willing to believe Li Yu. He nodded heavily, "Yes!"
"By the way, you will live in the small building from now on." Li Yu said, "This is the order of the adults."
The scenery in the back garden was very elegant and the small building was extremely delicate. Shen Shijiu liked it very much. He could hardly believe what Li Yu said.
"Really? Can I live in that nice building?"
Li Yu smiled and said, "Okay."
Shen Shijiu happily hugged Li Yu, "That's great, then I can play in the garden with Xiao Miaowu in the future!"
Li Yu's mouth twitched. Could it be that he was only thinking about the cat
"My dear disciple! My dear disciple! Where are you?"
A familiar male voice came from the gate of the prime minister's residence, with a rough and gruff tone.
Shen Shijiu suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes lit up, he left Li Yu behind and turned to run towards the door.
"It's my master! Master, master, I'm here."
Li Yu looked at the little figure who rushed to the door without caring about the pain in his knees, and sighed as he stood there.
It seems that the most important person in His Highness' heart is now clear at a glance, and that is the "master" who disappears when he should be, and comes to the door when he should not be.
I wonder how the Lord would feel if he knew that his position in His Highness's heart has been replaced by someone else
