Jiang Yubai was covered in cold sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water. He held Shen Huan's hand tightly, with his fingertips turning white.
"Ride... the wind..."
Shen Huan didn't hear clearly, "What did you say? Speak louder."
Shen Shijiu raised his head and said, "Master, Doctor Jiang called Afeng's name."
"What happened to Chengfeng? Is he here too? Was he arrested too?"
Jiang Yubai could no longer utter a complete sentence.
The two jailers stepped forward and said, "Master Shen, he is in the Imperial Hospital."
Shen Huan's expression changed.
After stuffing a whole bottle of pills into Jiang Yubai's pocket, Shen Huan took Shen Shijiu to the Imperial Hospital.
Chengfeng's injuries seem to be much more serious than Jiang Yubai's. Although he has been treated, he is still in a coma.
Shen Huan clenched his fists.
She had always been alone before, living a personal life, staying alone in the Ghost Valley in the desolate mountains.
Later she had a little apprentice, and later, she had a few friends.
Now, her few friends have been harmed by Qi Bingzhi and become like this, not to mention that her little disciple has also been bullied by her before. So she has to go and meet Qi Bingzhi.
Shen Huan did not let her little disciple follow, but let Shen Shijiu stay in the Imperial Hospital, saying that it was to take care of Chengfeng. In fact, she did not want her little disciple to have bad memories after seeing Qi Bingzhi.
We arrived at the second princess' bedroom. It was broad daylight, but the bedroom was hung with heavy curtains and was gloomy.
Shen Huan stepped in. It was completely empty inside. There was not a single palace maid or eunuch in sight. The entire bedroom looked dead and gloomy, and even more gloomy than the Prime Minister's Mansion.
To be honest, it's still a bit creepy.
"Ahem, is anyone there?" Shen Huan, who had never believed in ghosts or gods or Buddha, stepped in.
"Second Princess? Second Princess, are you there?"
Still no movement.
Shen Huan continued to walk inside. It became even darker inside. The walls of the inner hall were covered with strange patterns painted in blood-like colors.
She stood by the wall and looked at the patterns. They were strange and eerie.
An extremely thin hand suddenly rested on Shen Huan's shoulder.
"Do you see the baby? Do you see it? It's right there."
A light voice sounded from behind, and Shen Huan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, although she knew that the person behind her must be a living person.
Qi Bingzhi has lost a lot of weight, and his face has lost its former luster. The bones on his face are protruding, and his eyes are deeply sunken. He looks like he has aged by more than ten years.
Shen Huan said, "I saw it. There is indeed a baby, and it's a boy."
Qi Bingzhi's eyes changed, as if no one had ever said something in such a way that she agreed with her words, and she suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Then did you see it? His hair has grown so long, and his little hands are so chubby, it seems like he is talking."
Shen Huan continued, slowly placing his fingers on Qi Bingzhi's wrist and starting to take his pulse.
Qi Bingzhi was slightly stunned, as if thinking about Shen Huan's words.
The more Shen Huan felt Qi Bingzhi's pulse, the deeper her frown became. She took advantage of Qi Bingzhi's other wrist before she started to struggle and quickly grabbed it.
No, it’s still not right.
It’s not that Qi Bingzhi’s pulse is so complicated and difficult to understand. On the contrary, Shen Huan found that her pulse is very normal, with no signs of madness at all.
But Shen Huan seemed to have discovered something wrong, but before she could think about it further, Qi Bingzhi suddenly let out a shrill scream and ran away.
Shen Huan hurriedly chased after him. She was determined to find out what was wrong with Qi Bingzhi.
But Qi Bingzhi soon disappeared. The light in the bedroom was too dim and Shen Huan couldn't see where she was hiding.
Shen Huan first ran to the palace gate and called several palace maids and eunuchs to come in, "Remove all these curtains."
Those people received the order and knew that everything had to be under Shen Huan's command, so they quickly pulled down the curtain.
Shen Huan found Qi Bingzhi hiding under the bed, had someone pull her out and pin her down.
Qi Bingzhi screamed and struggled desperately. Shen Huan took out the acupuncture needles and quickly pierced Qi Bingzhi's body full of needles. She finally stopped struggling and calmed down.
After asking the servants to leave, Shen Huan sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Princess, run again, shout again, why don't you run or shout anymore?"
Qi Bingzhi stared at Shen Huan, his mouth open but no sound came out.
Shen Huan picked up a sharper silver needle and waved it in front of Qi Bingzhi's eyes. "If I'm not mistaken, your madness is fake, right?"
Qi Bingzhi's eyes changed slightly, but he was still staring at Shen Huan.
The silver needle gestured on Qi Bingzhi's face for a few times, and Shen Huan said, "Although she is a little thinner, she is still pretty. But if her appearance is ruined, it may not be the same. Then, not only the Prime Minister will not like her, I am afraid no one will like her."
Qi Bingzhi hummed and looked like he really wanted to talk.
Shen Huan pulled out a needle, and Qi Bingzhi was finally able to make a sound, but the rest of his body was still numb.
"Who the hell are you? What do you care about what happens to me? I'll have my mother drag you down and execute you!"
Shen Huan was not frightened by her at all, instead he looked outside.
"Oh, then do you want me to call the people in first, and then you can give them the instructions? But those people might find out that you are not really crazy."
Qi Bingzhi was very angry, but what Shen Huan said made sense.
Shen Huan pinched Qi Bingzhi's wrist and continued to feel her pulse, saying, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell Her Royal Highness that my last name is Shen."
Qi Bingzhi was stunned for a moment, as if he thought of someone, and then his eyes became vicious.
However, Shen Huan discovered something incredible. It turned out that Qi Bingzhi was not suffering from madness, but infertility.
Shen Huan can cure this disease, it just depends on whether she wants to be cured.
"I can cure you, which means you can have your own baby in the future."
Shen Huan said, "But may I ask, Your Highness, what is your grudge against Imperial Doctor Jiang and the Imperial Hospital that requires you to go to such great lengths to deal with them?"
"No hatred or grudges." Qi Bingzhi said coldly, "They are not the ones who have any grudges against me."
Shen Huan thought for a moment, "You are talking about, could it be, my little disciple? Shen Nineteen?"
Qi Bingzhi snorted coldly.
Shen Huan seemed to have figured it out. "So, all this was done to lure out Shen Shijiu? I didn't expect that it would lead to his master, me?"
"Yes, I just want Shen Jiujiu to be executed like those people in the Imperial Hospital. Since he is your apprentice, how did you teach him? To steal someone else's husband? What's more, he is still a man!"
"Husband?" Shen Huan raised his voice, "May I ask if the princess is married to Lord Pei?"
"And, no."
"That's it, we both agreed to this, but it was you, Princess, who insisted on intervening."
After hearing what Shen Huan said, Qi Bingzhi became excited again.
"What do you know! Do you know why the adults kept him? There is an ulterior motive! It's because he looks like a human being!"
Unexpectedly, Shen Huan didn't take it seriously. After all, she knew the identity of her little disciple, and there was nothing to be surprised about.
However, Qi Bingzhi's next words were what really made Shen Huan feel upside down.
"My lord, it was not enough that he imprisoned Chang Yi and tortured him in every way, he also forced him to jump off a cliff, leaving no trace of his body! Do you want that Shen Shijiu to follow in his footsteps?"
Imprisoned, jumped off a cliff, no remains left
These words kept echoing in Shen Huan's mind, and gradually he put everything together.
No wonder, no wonder Pei Zheng is so good to his little disciple now. I thought he loved his little disciple deeply, but it turns out that it was because of guilt and regret.
Shen Huan promised Qi Bingzhi that he would cure her body and allow her to have children in the future, and he would never tell anyone about it. However, the prerequisite was that Qi Bingzhi's madness would slowly "get better" on its own, and that the Queen would immediately release Jiang Yubai.
But in fact, Shen Huan would not really cure Qi Bingzhi. This princess really pissed off Shen Huan. Shen Huan would make her body look as if she was well on the surface, but if she got pregnant in the future, she would definitely have a miscarriage and the child would not be born smoothly.
Shen Huan didn't believe that the little disciple's jumping off the cliff had nothing to do with Qi Bingzhi, so this was revenge for her.
As for Pei Zheng, Shen Huan has not yet figured out how to face him.
Jiang Yubai was really released immediately. After a brief recuperation, he went to take care of Chengfeng.
After this incident, Jiang Yubai made a plan in his heart. He wanted to resign from the position of imperial physician.
Shen Huan temporarily stayed in a residence near Qi Bingzhi's bedroom, concentrating on taking care of Qi Bingzhi.
Shen Shijiu helped out at the Imperial Hospital and also looked after Jiang Yubai and Chengfeng.
But Jiang Yubai, as a patient, really didn't listen to the doctor. Shen Shijiu asked him to lie down and not move, and then he went to Chengfeng Room to take the patient's pulse.
Shen Shijiu stood outside the room, looking at Jiang Yubai sulking inside.
"Doctor Jiang, you are not obedient at all! If you don't go back, I will not care about you anymore!"
Jiang Yubai turned a deaf ear and didn't even raise his head.
Shen Shijiu wanted to go in and shout at him again, but a figure appeared behind him.
Pei Zheng hadn't seen the little guy for a few days and missed him a lot, but this cruel little guy didn't even come back to see him, so he had to come to the Imperial Hospital to look for him in person.
With his waist being hugged from behind, Shen Shijiu turned his head and saw Pei Zheng's slightly tired eyes.
"grown ups… "
Pei Zheng hummed, buried his head in the little guy's shoulder and neck, and took a deep sniff.
So sweet.
