"Zhier!" With an exclamation, Shen Muxi sat up in shock, but the sun was scorching hot. It's really pity that the blue sky and daylight still have such a dream. It's true that mother and child are connected.
"What's the matter?" Chunxiu came over with water, "The Eastern Capital City is ahead. Commander Liu sent someone to report back to the palace. You're still restless after taking a nap? Could it be that you're not feeling well?"
Bu Tang leaned over, "What's going on?"
"It's okay, I miss my child." Shen Muxi wiped his forehead, his hands covered with cold sweat.
Along the way, she kept having nightmares. Every time she dreamed that the child had an accident, her heart and lungs were filled with the child's cries for help. You must know that since Shen Zhi was born, she hasn't left her for half a step, but when Bo Yunxiu appeared, things happened frequently, and everything caught her by surprise.
After taking a sip of water, Shen Muxi finally regained his strength, "Is there any news about Zhi'er yet?"
"If you're really worried, it's okay for me to go into the Li Palace to find out for you." Bu Tang looked at her with a smile, "How old is the child, please tell me what the child looks like."
"Wang Li's mansion should be heavily guarded, are you sure you can go in?" Chunxiu shook his head, "That's not a bandit, and I'll beat you into a sieve when the time comes."
"Crow's Mouth!" Bu Tang spat, and gave Chunxiu a hard look, "Do I look like such a useless person? Let me tell you, let alone Li Wang's mansion, even if it's the palace, I can still break through."
Shen Muxi shook his head, "It's too dangerous."
"No matter how dangerous your situation is, it's not as dangerous as your situation!" Bu Tang blurted out, thought for a while, and was afraid of revealing his secrets, so he shut his mouth immediately.
That night, Hua Laoqi took his brothers to transfer overnight. Before leaving, he went to find her in private and said a few words of kindness, "Grandma, you are good at martial arts, but you didn't kill us. We are so grateful, little brother! There is something I have to say, in order to avoid accidents, we have no morals. You protect Shen Muxi so much, which shows that she is more important to you. And tell Dr. Shen to be careful."
Bu Tang didn't quite understand at the time, "Who really wants to kill her?"
"There are people from the government just now, so we can't tell, otherwise they won't let us go." Hua Laoqi reminded in a low voice, "Based on my Hua Laoqi's experience in traveling the rivers and lakes these years, and According to some hearsay, that man's martial arts probably came from the Longevity Sect."
"Longevity Gate?" Bu Tang said coldly, "How can you be sure?"
"I vaguely saw a domino hanging around his waist. It is said that the gatekeepers of the Longevity Gate always have this thing, so I made a guess. Auntie, that's all I know, so I have to remind you, Changshengmen has always been ruthless in their actions, if Dr. Shen does not die, they will definitely not give up, you have to prepare early!" Hua Laoqi clasped his fists, "We will meet again, there will be a period later!"
Butang's heart sank, if what Hua Laoqi said was true, then this matter would be a big deal.
The disciples of Changshengmen, Shenlong sees the head but never ends. Because Bo Yunlie was killed that year, the whole organization fell silent, and has been dormant in various places since then. Although it has popped up occasionally in these years, it has not left any traces to be found. .
People in the Jianghu talk about the Longevity Gate and their expressions change, but there is nothing they can do.
"Hey, why are you in a daze?" Chunxiu pushed her.
Only then did Bu Tang come to his senses, "Forget it, I'll help you find it!"
"Miss Bu!" Shen Muxi was shocked.
"You can call me Xiaotang!" Butang turned around and smiled at her, "Hey, leave this to me, fat man, take good care of Dr. Shen!"
"Fatty?" Chunxiu put his hips on his hips and looked straight at him angrily, "Who are you calling fat! Am I fat? I'm just not noticeably thin. Is there someone as embarrassing as you? It's unreasonable!"
Butang laughed loudly and shouted, "Miss Yueban!"
With a single leap, he disappeared without a trace.
Her speed is naturally extremely fast, but in the blink of an eye, even Liu De'an who is not far away can't help but be speechless. It's unbelievable that such martial arts come from a young girl's family, and I don't know who this girl learned from
"Doctor Shen?" Chunxiu leaned closer, "I'll see, it's doable!"
Shen Muxi came back to her senses, and nodded in a daze, "I don't know where she came from? But the first time I saw her, I always felt a little familiar, but I couldn't remember where I saw her."
"When you say that, it looks familiar to me." Chunxiu said seriously.
The two looked at each other, and for a while, they didn't remember where they saw Bu Tang.
At nightfall, the convoy had already arrived outside the city of Dongdu. The queen mother did not send an order, but the emperor gave an order, ordering everyone to set up camp outside the city and enter the city at dawn. Liu De'an was just the commander of the guards, no matter if it was the emperor's order or the queen mother's order, he could only obey.
The most anxious thing is about Shen Muxi, who is timid due to being close to the country, which makes her restless, but she has no other choice, just sit all night, waiting for the dawn.
Before dawn, Bu Tang came back, scolding his mother with a black face.
Chunxiu sat up in a daze, rubbed her eyes and looked at her, "What are you doing? Have you been robbed of money?"
Bu Tang was drinking water, and when he turned around, he sprayed her all over the face. The cup was placed heavily on the table, and he was very angry, "Let you talk nonsense!"
"What are you doing?" Chunxiu wiped her face in a hurry, and replied angrily, "You have been told not to leave the palace a long time ago, if you don't believe it, now that you have suffered a disadvantage, do you still rely on me?"
"Let me meet again next time, I have to compete with him again!" Bu Tang placed the sword heavily on the case.
In this way, Shen Muxi asked, "You saw Zhi'er!"
"How do you know?" Bu Tang was surprised.
"No matter how powerful the hidden guards of Liwang's Mansion are, they won't make you so embarrassed. What's more, you just mentioned him, not them, which means that there is only one person who makes things difficult for you." Shen Muxi sat quietly opposite her, " What happened to make you so angry?"
"I saw your son!" Bu Tang said, "There are only two children from the palace, so it's very easy to find. I directly took a servant in the mansion and asked him. If one is in the main courtyard, it must not be your son. There is another one who is asking Xia Ge, I am thinking that it should be brought back by King Li, your son."
Speaking of this, Bu Tang slammed the case, "Hey, who knew that I went there just in time, before I went to ask Xia Ge, I saw someone covering the child with a sack, and his hands and feet were very nimble. It seems that he has a kung fu foundation. prepared."
"What?" Shen Muxi's expression changed in shock.
"Don't worry, don't worry, your son is fine, and I'm here!" Bu Tang said hurriedly.
Chunxiu rolled her eyes, "I was panting for words, can you finish in one breath?"
Bu Tang twitched the corners of his lips and continued, "I think that person didn't even let go of the child, and knocked him out. Is it Li Wangfu? I think it's better not to cause trouble for you guys." Unexpectedly, there was a man who flew out of Xiage and attacked me without even asking. I was planning to take your son away, so I was caught off guard!"
Asked who flew out of Xia Geli
"It's probably Mili!" Chunxiu said.
Shen Muxi thinks so, Mi Li is Bo Yunxiu's personal follower, that is, he can enter and leave the palace at will, and has the ability to hurt Bu Tang.
"And no matter who it is, the martial arts are not weak, and he is an idiot. He would fight against me indiscriminately. If I hadn't been concerned about the child, and I was afraid of hurting the child and making you sad, I would have taken it seriously!" Bu Tang was a little helpless, " It's a pity that I didn't bring your son back."
"It's good that you're fine!" Shen Muxi felt relieved, "It can be seen that Bo Yunxiu treats Zhi'er fairly well, and Miu Li's timely appearance shows that Zhi'er has always been secretly protected by someone."
"That is to say, even without her, Zhi'er will be fine." Chunxiu rarely showed a good word, and she felt quite proud after speaking, and did not forget to take a look at Hengbutang.
Bu Tang didn't bother to argue with her, so he turned around and got on the wooden bed, "I'll rest for a while, and I'll follow you into the palace tomorrow."
Shen Muxi opened his mouth, and before he could refuse, he heard Bu Tang's even breathing.
"Hey, this person..." Chunxiu was about to have a fit, how could she snatch her bed
But was stopped by Shen Muxi, "You sleep with me."
"Then you?" Chunxiu was taken aback, Shen Muxi turned and walked out.
Chunxiu sighed helplessly. Dr. Shen couldn't let go of Shen Zhi's absence. Fortunately, he will be able to enter the Eastern Capital City tomorrow, and everything will get better soon.
Early in the morning, it was raining heavily.
Shen Zhi was woken up by the sound of the wind, and the rain blew into the house with the wind, bringing summer shade. Eyes widened suddenly, Shen Zhi sat up in amazement, and quickly touched his little arms and legs. Fortunately, he was still healthy, with no missing arms or legs.
Looking around again, although the scenery is not very familiar, he can still recognize that it is Wen Xiage, his own room.
"Didn't I get arrested?" Shen Zhi couldn't figure out what happened
"Young Master Shen is awake!" Mi Li smiled and led the people in, "Get up, wash up and have breakfast!"
Shen Zhi opened his eyes wide and looked at Mi Li, Mi Li didn't seem to have any strange expression on his face, could it be that he was really dreaming? But he clearly smelled that strange fragrance, "I, why am I here?"
Mi Li smiled, "I fell asleep at night, not on the bed, not in my room, could it be possible to fly up to the sky?"
"No, that's not the case, I was caught by someone!" Shen Zhi hurriedly lifted off the quilt and got out of bed, "I was caught by someone, it was dark at the time, I was so scared, I smelled a strange smell, and then..."
"Then fainted and woke up on the bed in his own room?" Mi Li took over the conversation.
Shen Zhi nodded again and again, staring at him very seriously.
Mi Li asked the servants to put down their breakfast, and ordered the servants to leave. Gu Zi pinched the wet handkerchief and handed it to Shen Zhi, "Wash your face and wake up. You can't distinguish between dreams and reality. It can be seen that you have been too busy these days." tired."
"Am I dreaming?" Shen Zhi couldn't believe it, "No, I clearly felt that I was arrested, I..."
"If you were arrested, then tell me why we don't know, but you can still lie on the bed safe and sound? Look at what you are wearing, or the pajamas you changed before going to bed, which one is shameless?" What, grabbed you and made you dizzy, just to change your clothes and put you to sleep?" Mi Li said something, and Shen Zhi was speechless when asked.
Shen Zhi looked at the clean pajamas on his body. These clothes were prepared by Bo Yunxiu before he returned to Dongdu. Because the size did not match, it was a bit loose for him to wear at night when he slept. Some are more comfortable.
"Am I right?" Mi Li sighed softly and took the wet handkerchief he handed back, then went to fetch mouthwash and handed it to him, "Rinse your mouth and have some breakfast, I'm afraid I'm very hungry, So my mind is confused. Your mother will arrive in Dongdu today, you don't want Dr. Shen to see you in a trance, do you?"
"Really?" Shen Zhi was ecstatic, thinking he had heard it wrong, "My mother is really coming? Really? Really? Uncle Li, when will my mother arrive? When can I see her?" Her? I miss her, I miss my mother so much, I want to see her as soon as possible! Can I pick her up? Can I? Can I? "
Shen Zhi's eyes lit up, and he was very excited. Seeing Mi Li felt a little sad, "Eat well, be obedient, and I will definitely see your mother. But after she comes back, she has to go to the palace. You want to be here, where are you going?" Don't go, wait for the prince to enter the palace and bring her to see you."
"Why?" Shen Zhi didn't understand, "Why did my mother enter the palace? Did she enter the palace to meet the emperor?"
After a pause, Shen Zhi's eyes widened suddenly, his small face twisted slightly, "Do you want to see that bad mother-in-law?"
Mi Li had to admit that Dr. Shen was a very successful mother, and the son she taught was really sensible. Even though the queen mother made things difficult for her and almost killed Shen Zhi, when Shen Zhi mentioned the queen mother, she still said "mother-in-law" instead of Other, more vicious words.
It's not like Bo Yu, a wild child and a wild woman!
This is probably the big difference between people and people before.
"With the prince here, don't worry!" Mi Li patted Shen Zhi on the shoulder, "You are a man, so you should be reassuring, right?"
"I will wait here, no matter how long I will wait, and wait for the prince to bring my mother back safely." Shen Zhi looked at Mi Li with firm eyes, and after rinsing his mouth, he began to eat obediently, without asking another word.
Mi Li knew that there was only one thing Shen Zhi could do now, and that was to wait.
Bo Yunxiu was standing in the corridor. He could hear the conversation between the two inside the room clearly, but he didn't intend to go in. He stood outside and then turned and left. He had already known about the movement outside the city, they were on their way into the city and the palace, so he couldn't go too early.
In case... a certain person still thinks that he is important, that he rushes to save people!
Seeing Shen Zhi begin to eat obediently, Mi Li walked out of the room, but happened to see a corner of clothes at the end of the corridor, very much like his own prince. What, the prince is here? After thinking about it, Mi Li hurried to catch up.
"My lord!" After saluting, Mi Li hurriedly said, "Young Master Shen is not suspicious."
"What happened last night must be strictly investigated!" When Bo Yunxiu said this, his face was extremely serious, and he stared coldly at the breeze and drizzle outside. Dare to rob people in Liwang's mansion, it's really daring. If there is no strict investigation, there may be some troubles in the future.
"Yes!" Mi Li bowed his head, "That man is being tried in the torture room, and he hasn't told the truth after a whole night. The torture slave is trying to find a way."
Bo Yunxiu walked out with a cold face, this matter must be investigated to find out, but fortunately Shen Zhi did not become suspicious, otherwise he would have been scared to death in Li Wangfu. Such a big Li Wangfu, Shen Zhi is not familiar with the place, if...
"Look at the humble position, Mr. Shen and the master of Luo Sun Xuan get along very well, probably because of fate, that guy likes Mr. Shen very much, and even helped Mr. Shen to carry A Luo out." Mi Li laughed. , "Fortunately, the prince is so predictable, let..."
Bo Yunxiu's eyes were slashed at him, and Mi Li was so startled that he quickly shut up. Damn, talkative!
Misty rain and confusion dissipate the heat of summer, and the restless heart settles down, gradually relaxing the mind.
The wheels of the car made a "gurgling" sound on the bluestone slabs of the long street, and the car body was shaking from side to side, with a thousand turns in my heart. The prosperity of the Eastern Capital is better than that of previous years. After seven years, when I come to the Eastern Capital again, everything is familiar, and everything is different.
Chunxiu leaned on the window, "Doctor Shen, it's the first time I've come back to Dongdu, and everything is new. It's really different from our small places. Everything here is very good."
Shen Muxi picked up the curtains, looked out with dark eyes, "at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is naturally very good."
Suddenly, Shen Muxi was stunned, and slapped the window lattice hard, "Wait!"
The carriage stopped abruptly, and Liu De'an rode his horse to the window, "Doctor Shen, are you feeling well?"
"Where is this place?" Shen Muxi looked pale, looked up at Liu De'an who was sitting on horseback, and asked while pointing to the courtyard gate.
Liu De'an turned around, "Oh, ask Liushanzhuang, we took a detour today, so we came to this gate. It used to be the residence of a dignitary, but now it is under the name of His Royal Highness Li Wang. It is the property of the palace."
"Ask Liushanzhuang?" Shen Muxi's face turned pale, his lips trembled slightly, "Ask Liu..."
"It was changed by His Royal Highness Li Wang!" Liu De'an bowed his head, "Doctor Shen, is there anything else?"
Shen Muxi shook his head dully, his voice trembling slightly, "Let's go!"
The motorcade continued to move forward, turning a corner before returning to the main street. On the rainy long street, pedestrians walked hurriedly with umbrellas.
"Doctor Shen, why did you ask about that villa? Did you recognize it before?" Chunxiu asked.
Shen Muxi shook his head, "I'm just curious, I think it's very good to ask Liu two characters."
"I didn't expect the prince to be so rich, and there is such a big courtyard outside the palace. It's really enviable." Chunxiu smiled, "By the way, Dr. Shen, when the time comes to enter the palace..."
"Chunxiu, if I don't come out by then, help me go to Liwangfu to see Zhi'er." Shen Muxi confessed.
Chunxiu was puzzled, "What do you mean didn't come out? Why didn't you come out? Didn't you enter the palace because the queen mother in the palace wanted to see you? Seeing you, there will be no loss of meat, right?"
"Although Wei Xian'er and Bo Yu were not hurt by me, they were hurt because of me. Do you think the one in the palace is helping me, an outsider? Or helping the Bo family?" Shen Muxi asked.
Chunxiu stiffened her body, not daring to speak.
"We were hunted down along the way. If it wasn't for Xiaotang, you and I would have died long ago. How could we still be alive?" Shen Muxi sighed softly, "There must be one person left between the two of us. Of course there is no escape, but Chunxiu...you can! Can you help me take care of Zhi'er, can you do me this favor?"
"Although I know that you have always fooled me and wanted to push me away to save my life, but this time I have to listen to you, Zhier can't be left alone, I promise you!" Chunxiu is not stupid, although she has never read a book, She can't tell the truth, but she knows which is more important, who is good and who is bad.
Shen Muxi smiled, "Thank you!"
"You always like to say thank you, but I am looking forward to the day when you can tell me that we are together this time!" Chunxiu pouted.
"Then I won't say thank you again!" Shen Muxi said with a smile, "I'm not being polite to you."
"That's good!" Chunxiu nodded, "I don't know where that girl Butang went? She disappeared as soon as she entered the city. Did she go somewhere chic?"
Shen Muxi didn't make a sound, and Bu Tang came and went without a trace. With such advanced martial arts, he must not be an ordinary person, and there should be someone behind him.
Sighing softly, Shen Muxi turned her head to look out the window. The next moment, she straightened up in shock, and suddenly lay down on the car window, staring intently at the man on the street. Her hands were pinching the window lattice tightly, her knuckles were clearly blue and white, and she was so strong that she didn't realize that her fingertips were bleeding.
The car passed by quickly, caught in the wind and rain.
Shen Muxi suddenly lowered his head, curled up quickly, covered his face and cried bitterly.
This scene happened so suddenly that Chunxiu had no time to react, "Shen, Dr. Shen? Dr. Shen, what's wrong with you? Dr. Shen, don't cry! If you feel scared, I will accompany you into the palace, Dr. Shen..."
Shen Muxi kept shaking his head, raising his head to stop his tears, but the tears fell more and more violently, and in an instant, tears were streaming down his face.
Chunxiu was at a loss, and didn't know how to comfort her for a while, but seeing Shen Muxi's appearance, if she didn't cry, she would hold it in her heart, and she might be suffocated. After thinking about it, Chunxiu sat obediently aside, with red eyes, watching Shen Muxi and crying.
The carriage entered through the side door of the palace, and the carriage stopped.
Liu De'an held an umbrella and shouted outside, "Doctor Shen, please get out of the car!"
Seeing that Shen Muxi's eyes were swollen like walnuts, as if he had just cried, Liu De'an was taken aback, but he quickly handed over the umbrella and carefully helped Shen Muxi and Chunxiu get out of the car.
"Doctor Shen, are you okay?" Liu De'an couldn't bear it, and after getting along with Shen Muxi and Chunxiu along the way, he always felt that Shen Muxi didn't look like the vicious and mean words spoken by the empress dowager, how could she look like a vicious woman? He is usually gentle, respectful and modest, he is an excellent doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded.
Perhaps, the empress dowager misunderstood!
"Doctor Shen, don't worry, I will have someone send Chunxiu to Liwang Mansion, as for the palace..."
Before Liu De'an could finish speaking, Shen Muxi had already shook his head, "I'm afraid that on the side of the empress dowager, everyone will beg for mercy, Commander Liu don't have to make trouble."
Liu De'an opened his mouth, and Shen Muxi could see it more clearly than anyone else, so what she said made sense, and directly cut off Liu De'an's thoughts of comfort, although the words were not pleasant, but they were very true, and did not embarrass Liu De'an at all.
"Doctor Shen!" Liu De'an sighed softly, "Then take care of yourself!"
Shen Muxi nodded, "Lead the way ahead!"
Liu De'an nodded, and ordered Chunxiu to be taken out of the palace and sent directly to Prince Li's Mansion.
Because I agreed to Shen Muxi and knew that staying in the palace would only make Shen Muxi worry. When Chunxiu left, she didn't even turn her head. She went to Liwangfu to watch over Shen Zhi and protect Shen Zhi. best help.
In front of the gate of Changfu Palace, Shen Muxi stopped, bowed and stood aside, waiting for the Queen Mother to summon her.
Liu De'an went in, and backed out after a while, but he didn't dare to say anything, just nodded his head slightly, gave Shen Muxi a meaningful look, and then walked away.
Shen Muxi was standing at the gate of Changfu Palace, quietly waiting for the Queen Mother to summon her.
Unexpectedly, half an hour has passed, and an hour has passed...
My legs are numb, especially when the rain is getting heavier and heavier. Even with an umbrella covering my head, the rainwater under my feet has slowly gathered into a small river, soaking my shoes and socks, soaking my trousers, and the soles of my feet have been soaked in water for a long time , Rao does not feel cold, it is enough to soak off half a layer of skin.
Spring Palace.
"Queen Mother, everyone is outside." Mo Yu sighed softly, "Commander Liu said that Dr. Shen fell ill on the way, and it's raining outside right now. Easy to explain."
"Why, the Ai family has seen Bao Yunxiu's face, but also her dull face? What kind of thing is she!" The queen mother gritted her teeth, "Hmph, the Ai family has to let her go, kill her spirit first, and teach me She knows what the majesty of the royal family is!"
Mo Yu smiled, "Yes, Queen Mother, you killed her vigor, but if His Highness Li Wang sees you later, the word majesty may appear on His Highness Li Wang's face."
"That traitor!" The Empress Dowager rubbed her brows, resentful in her heart, "I knew this would happen, I shouldn't have..."
"Queen Mother!" Mo Yu called softly, "It's been more than an hour, it's time for you to relax!"
The queen mother nodded, "Let her get out!"
"Yes!" Mo Yu saluted, turned and went out.
Holding an umbrella, she stepped out of the courtyard. Mo Yu stood in front of the gate of the Changfu Palace, looking at the pale-faced Shen Muxi, she couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Are you Shen Muxi?" Shen Muxi bowed, "Little girl Shen Muxi Xi, please be safe, auntie!"
Mo Yu smiled, "He's a sensible person. The queen mother let you in, and you come in with me!" When entering the door, he didn't forget to say a few words, "The queen mother is impatient and might say something serious, so try not to argue The empress dowager is extremely majestic, but her heart is still soft!"
"Thank you, aunt!" Shen Muxi replied in a low voice.
After entering the Hall of Chunxi, Shen Muxi didn't even dare to lift his head, and knelt down on the ground to salute, "Minister Shen Muxi, I kowtow to the Empress Dowager, I wish the Empress Dowager good health and happiness!"
"Hmph!" The Queen Mother said condescendingly, "Shen Muxi is so eloquent, no wonder he is so fascinated by King Li. Let's raise his head and let Aijia see how charming he is!"
Shen Muxi held her heart, and slowly raised her head according to the words, her eyelids drooped slightly, even if she raised her head, she should not look directly at the queen mother, this is the rule in the palace, she knew it well, and did not dare to let the queen mother make any excuses.
"Presumptuous!" Suddenly shouted angrily.
Shen Muxi was so startled that his heart suffocated in horror, what happened
