"Master, master!" Nian Qiu exclaimed, "It's burnt!"
Guan Yuqing yelled, and quickly pushed aside the fire, "Hurry up, take them out, otherwise they will be burnt and you won't be able to eat them! Xiaozhi, eat quickly, and I'll tell you when I'm done."
Shen Zhi bit it down, stood up abruptly, raised his head and opened his mouth in the corridor, jumping up and down!
Although the outside of the sweet potato is not very hot, it will burn to death in the middle!
Seeing Shen Zhi jumping up and down in a panic, Guan Yuqing and Nian Qiu couldn't help laughing, "Eat slowly, there is no rush to eat roasted sweet potatoes, otherwise you will burn your tongue!"
Shen Zhi opened his mouth, tears came out from the heat, his tongue was numb, his mouth was numb, and he couldn't taste anything.
"Don't worry!" Nian Qiu hurriedly poured a glass of warm water, "I'll talk after rinsing my mouth!"
Shen Zhi rinsed his mouth with red eyes, rather than eating sweet potatoes, he wanted to know more about Xia Ge.
The three sat on the railing together, Guan Yuqing touched his nose, and then said, "I just came to Dongdu from my hometown, and the first thing I heard was that it was related to the Xia family. If you ask that Miss Xia from Xia Ge, it is right to listen to it as a joke."
"At that time, Xia Li'an, a great scholar, was imprisoned for disobedience and crime. Later, his family was imprisoned. I heard that the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty pleaded for mercy, and they were forgiven. Only Xia Li'an was beheaded, and his son Xia Wenqing was sent to the frontier to do hard labor. Poor Xia Wen Qing is talented and knowledgeable, so he was implicated in this way!"
Speaking of this, Nian Qiu hurriedly said, "At that time, I heard that Xia Wenqing was born with a good-looking talent and a dignified appearance. At that time, even the princess fell in love with him. Unfortunately, something happened. No one dared to take care of him, so he was detained like this. gone!"
Shen Zhi frowned, and asked with a bitter face, "But there is only one son, how do you say it has something to do with Xia Ge?"
"It's just strange here. Lord Xia has a son and a daughter. The son is the eldest, and the daughter is the youngest. But before the incident happened, the daughter of the Xia family suddenly threw herself into the lake. There is no one alive or dead." Guan Yuqing He bowed his head and ate sweet potatoes.
"If it's just like this, then there's nothing strange about it. If a person dies and drifts with the tide, maybe he might be eaten by fish." Shen Zhi curled his lips, "Sister Yuqing, are you fooling me?"
Guan Yuqing's neck twitched, "I'm so much older than you, why do you fool me?"
"Then why is it related to asking Xia Ge?" Shen Zhi asked.
Nian Qiu patted his chest, "Here, let me tell you, I was always inquiring about it back then! I heard that after Miss Xia threw herself into the lake, Xia Wenqing once ran to the gate of Li Wang's mansion and made a big fuss, saying that she would pay for her life. Killed his sister. But King Li is always King Li, and somehow he used some method to settle it, and the people of Dongdu didn't dare to mention it afterwards, so very few people knew about it."
Shen Zhi nodded, "Girl from the Xia family, are you pretending to die?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's a coincidence or not." Nian Qiu said, "Later, there was indeed an extra woman in the backyard of the palace, who followed Prince Li without name and identity, and was locked in Yimei Pavilion all the time."
"Oh, Yimei Pavilion is now Wenxia Pavilion!" Guan Yuqing explained.
Shen Zhi nodded, "Then what happened next?"
"And later?" Guan Yuqing rolled his eyes, "Later, Liwang's mansion caught fire!"
"That's a big fire!" Nian Qiu spoke decisively, "Oh, everyone in Dongdu saw it at that time. The fire ignited ragingly and burned the entire Yimei Pavilion beyond recognition."
Shen Zhi was stunned, "What about Miss Xia?"
"I'm dead!" Nian Qiu pouted, "No one can escape from such a big fire unless you are a god."
Speaking of this, Guan Yuqing sighed, feeling rather regretful, "Later, the servants of Prince Li's mansion changed after another, and there were only a few who knew Miss Xia, and the common people didn't dare to mention it, especially now that Prince Li is in power. , who dares to chew their tongues because they think their lives are too long? It is because I believe in you that I talk to you like this. It's a pity that I didn't get to see this Miss Xia with my own eyes. "
"So, you don't know if Miss Xia is the same person as Miss Xia in the Bachelor's Mansion?" This is the conclusion Shen Zhi came to.
"Is it important?" Guan Yuqing raised her eyebrows and asked, "No matter which girl Xia is, she will be as old as you after reincarnation. Is there any point in arguing?"
Really not!
"Mr. Shen, I heard that your mother is here. When can I bring her to see you? I'm curious, how beautiful she must be to give birth to such a lovely child like you?" Nian Qiu said with a smile.
Shen Zhi nodded, "My mother is busy with opening a medical clinic. When she finishes her work, I will definitely let her come over. Sister Yuqing, my mother's cooking is delicious, you must try it if you have the chance."
"real?"
"real?"
The master and the servant spoke in unison, and they were just like foodies themselves.
"Really!" Shen Zhi nodded repeatedly.
Guan Yuqing and Nianqiu, when they mentioned food, they became full of energy, and they even started to talk happily, from the food on the streets of Dongdu, to the imperial food in the palace, and by the way, they complained about the food in Li Wang's mansion.
Shen Zhi listened carefully, never feeling impatient.
At night, the rain finally stopped.
Pharmacy on the second floor.
"Brother Lu, I have to hurry back!" Shen Muxi got up, looked out of the window, picked up the umbrella leaning on the window, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine in Liwang Mansion, and Zhi'er is fine too."
"Is it really good?" Lu Guizhou's eyebrows were gentle, "But you can't come out often."
Shen Muxi smiled, "You look like this, if you don't know what's the matter with you and me? In the future, if something happens, I'll let Chunxiu come here to find you. Don't worry. As for the location of the medical center just mentioned , let me think carefully before deciding."
"It's up to you!" Lu Guizhou walked down the stairs side by side with her, and walked slowly towards the door.
When Shopkeeper Wang and the staff saw it, they all bowed in respect, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Take care of yourself." Lu Guizhou smiled at her.
Shen Muxi nodded, "Don't worry, I understand!"
Turning around, Mi Li was already waiting at the door, and the carriage stopped behind him. I don't know how long he waited, but he didn't ask anyone to call, he just stood on the street, blocking the door of the pharmacy, waiting for her to come out.
Shen Muxi's complexion is slightly gloomy. In this way, doesn't everyone know that she lives in Li Wang's Mansion? After all, Mi Li's face, probably half of the people in the Eastern Capital would recognize the face of His Royal Highness Li Wang!
"Doctor Shen, please!" Mi Li said respectfully.
Shen Muxi glanced at Lu Guizhou, his face darkened, and then he poked his head out again, looking at Lu Guizhou thoughtfully, "Brother Lu?"
"Zhi'er is still waiting for you, be careful yourself!" How could Lu Guizhou not know the uneasiness in her heart, so he could only smile helplessly, "Don't think too much!"
As the carriage gradually moved away, the smile on Lu Guizhou's face gradually dissipated, and finally turned into a trace of melancholy between his eyebrows and eyes.
"My lord, the carriage from Li Wang's Mansion has been stuck in front of our house for so long, do you think it was intentional? Tell everyone in the entire Eastern Capital on purpose that Dr. Shen belongs to him from Li Wang's Mansion?" Zhi Shu asked.
Lu Guizhou didn't answer, and looked at the direction where the carriage disappeared with a gloomy expression.
"My lord, why don't you talk? In fact, if you say a few words to Dr. Shen, Dr. Shen will be able to fight with King Li later. When the time comes..."
"She will be the one who will suffer at that time!" Lu Guizhou gave Zhishu a sideways glance, "In the future, do more things and talk less, there is nothing unreasonable."
Zhishu curled his lips, isn't he still worried about the young master? The young master is not young anymore, it's time to start a family. Although Dr. Shen has a child with him, Shen Zhi is still smart and sensible, so he is not a burden.
Seeing the duck with its beak flying away, can Zhishu not be in a hurry
However, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry!
The carriage stopped in front of Li Wang's Mansion, and Shen Muxi was slightly startled when she got out of the car. According to her temper, she always came in and out through the back door, but now... Bo Yunxiu put her in front of the main gate of Li Wang's Mansion every time. What's the meaning
"Why don't you go through the back door?" Shen Muxi looked at Mi Li coldly, "Ask Xia Ge to be closer to the back door, which is more convenient!"
"My lord said, first let Dr. Shen know you well, so that in case there is someone who doesn't have good eyesight and offends Dr. Shen, try to let Dr. Shen go through the front door right now!" Mi Li bowed, "Doctor Shen, please go ahead." !"
Front door, front door, front door!
Why didn't I see him like this back then
Isn't the reason why she was put in Yimei Pavilion because the back door is close, and she doesn't have to pass in front of everyone if she wants to go in and out? Won't be seen? Now it's generous.
How dare you say something familiar
I wish I could poke his eyes!
"Tell Bo Yunxiu that you don't have to do unnecessary things in the future, I don't care about it or like it!" She walked towards the mansion.
Mi Li sighed helplessly, followed closely behind.
The guards at the gate of the mansion looked at each other in blank dismay, for a while they really didn't know what happened? But in this way, everyone understood a truth, the Prince Li's mansion might have Princess Li, after all, he had never seen the prince treat a woman like this.
Even though it was the side concubine Wei who was favored before, the prince never asked Mi Li to pick him up in person.
The news quickly spread to the main courtyard.
Bo Yu ruthlessly smashed all the cups on the table to the ground, "Why? Why! Why are my mother and I nothing when their mother and son come? What kind of poison did she poison so that Dad was fascinated? Do you have to go around?"
"Yu'er!" Wei Xian'er leaned against the bed weakly and coughed lightly, "Don't talk nonsense, it's your father's choice, it has nothing to do with Dr. Listen carefully!"
"Mother!" Bo Yu raised her throat.
"Hush!" Wei Xian'er made a silent movement.
Yizhu understood, immediately bowed and retreated, guarding outside the door.
"Mother!" Bo Yu choked with sobs, "Why do you have to swallow your anger? It's clear that the imperial grandmother helped you, but you never begged her. Mother, why, why should I suffer like this? She is the only young lady from the palace. Young master, seeing that this position is about to be taken away by others, my father's love has also become someone else's. Mother, I am not reconciled!"
"Yu'er!" Wei Xian'er sighed, "Mother knows that you are not reconciled, but can you change the angle? In fact, it is very good to have brothers and sisters. The emperor is your father's elder brother. Isn't it great that brothers and sisters support each other now? If you can build a good relationship with Shen Zhi, then your father will still be your father in the future, what do you think?"
"No!" Bo Yu poked his neck and said angrily, "I definitely don't want to be a brother with a wild child!"
Wei Xian'er frowned, her voice slightly harsh, "Yu'er, you can't be willful!"
"Mother!" Bo Yu has grown up and has her own thoughts and ideas, "I know what I want. I want my father to be my father only. I want my mother to grow old with my father, not with him. That bitch Shen Muxi!"
"Presumptuous!" Wei Xian'er reprimanded, probably out of breath, accidentally pulled the wound, and immediately leaned on the edge of the bed gasping for breath, with cold sweat dripping down her forehead.
"Shen Muxi is a slut!" Bo Yu gritted his teeth, "I wish I could kill her! Kill their mother and son, and it will be over once and for all!"
With a crisp sound of "slap", Wei Xian'er slapped Bo Yu's face, "Bastard! You can make up nonsense about killing people? You have to know who you are, the young son of Li Wangfu, you..."
"Mother!" Bo Yu suddenly calmed down, with tears in her eyes, "You beat me because of them? That bastard beat me that day, but my father refused to make decisions for me. You were beaten again, and finally even the emperor's grandmother was pissed off. Now, do you know how helpless I am? No one can help me, no one will love me, and now even my mother doesn't want me, so why am I still here? "
Bo Yu yelled out the last sentence.
The child rushed out of the room like crazy, Wei Xian'er was in a hurry, "Yizhu, stop him!"
Yizhu couldn't react in time, Bo Yu ran so fast, she was gone in a blink of an eye.
At this point, Yizhu had no choice but to come in quickly. Seeing the danger, she got out of bed and hurriedly stepped forward to help her, "Master? Master, take care of yourself! Your wound is not healed yet. If it opens again, it will leave a scar !"
"Send someone to look for the young master immediately, send more people to look for it, and don't let Yu'er make any mistakes, otherwise... why do I need my body?" Wei Xian'er broke down in tears, "What are you still doing, hurry up go!"
Yizhu saluted, turned around and ran, and greeted at the top of her voice in the yard, "You guys, hurry up and find the young master, hurry up!"
In an instant, all the people in the main courtyard were dispatched, and the housekeeper also searched after hearing the news.
Wei Xian'er always treated his servants kindly, although the young master was a little messy in private, but after all, he didn't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha, but for the face of the side concubine Wei, everyone spared no effort to find Bo Yu.
However, after searching the entire Prince Li Mansion, there was no trace of Bo Yu, and he did not know where the child hid. Everyone thought about it, and it seemed that they could only ask Xia Ge if they hadn't looked for it yet.
May I ask Xia Ge...
Even Concubine Wei was beaten for intruding on Xia Ge, let alone these servants.
"Master, what should I do?" Yizhu was at a loss.
Wei Xian'er gritted her teeth, "It's really not possible, I don't want this body, at worst, I will be beaten to death. If Yu'er has any troubles, I will not survive."
"Master!" Yizhu plopped on her knees.
The housekeeper said outside, "Side concubine, why don't you... beg Dr. Shen?"
There was a dead silence all around, no one knew that mentioning Dr. Shen at this time would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire.
Wei side concubine did it because the little son was disrespectful to Shen Muxi's mother and son? Now the side concubine is going to beg Shen Muxi, isn't this... the heart of Wei's side concubine? But in the end, no one dared to say anything, after all, there was only one way left.
"Master?" Yizhu was shocked, "I can't go!"
"I only have a child like Yu'er. As a mother, how can face be as important as the child's safety?" Wei Xian'er's face was pale, and he walked out in a daze. Ask for something!"
At the end, she added, "If she doesn't want to meet, I'll kneel outside the door until she wants to see me!"
The butler sighed, turned around and left.
But at the moment Shen Muxi is sulking, and she hasn't said a word since she asked Xia Ge back. If A Luo hadn't appeared at the door with a pale face, she would probably have been angry forever.
"Ah, Ah Luo?" Shen Muxi was stunned, and subconsciously stood up, "Why do you..."
"My lord asked me to serve Dr. Shen." A Luo smiled slightly, just like in those days, with a warm smile.
Shen Zhi poked his head out from behind Ah Luo, "Mother, I'm back too!"
"And me and me!" Chunxiu ran over panting, so frightened that Shen Zhi hurriedly dragged A Luo out of the way. Although Chunxiu was strong, but her skills were still vigorous, she squeezed into the room in a blink of an eye. "Doctor Shen, I'm back! This tea tasted so bitter in my mouth that I almost drowned in it."
"Tomorrow, I'll give you five-spice cake!" Shen Muxi beckoned, signaling A Luo and Shen Zhi to come in.
Shen Zhi entered the door with his front foot, and closed the door with his back foot.
The room is full of our own people, and the candlelight melts. It feels so good!
As soon as she heard that there was something to eat, Chunxiu got excited, "You asked me to find out, and I found out."
"What are you asking?" Shen Zhi was puzzled.
Shen Muxi hesitated, "Chunxiu, let's talk about this tomorrow, A Luo just came here today, we..."
"Doctor Shen!"
It was the servants of Xiage who were knocking on the door. Not everyone can get in here, but if they can get in, there must be some ability.
"What's the matter?" Shen Muxi opened the door.
The servant saluted, "The housekeeper sent word outside that Concubine Wei asked to see you, and right now she is kneeling outside the gate."
"Kneeling?" Shen Muxi thought he heard it wrong.
Chunxiu scratched her head, and looked back at Shen Zhi and A Luo, "Touch me, do I have a fever? Did you hear me wrong? Kneeling to see you? Today's rain probably came from that woman's brain ?”
A Luo frowned, lowered his eyebrows and looked at Shen Zhi, both of them were silent.
"What happened?" Shen Muxi asked.
No matter how lively it is outside, the excitement will not disturb Wen Xiage, or no one dares to disturb the people in Wenxia Pavilion. Otherwise, if the prince gets angry, he will be sent to the punishment room for punishment.
The slave bowed his head, his voice was calm and respectful, "The young master is lost, and the side concubine is looking for him in the palace. If Dr. Shen doesn't want to see you, the slave will go back. Don't worry about Dr. Shen!"
"Hurry up and go back!" Chunxiu said, "Those little moths who are always looking at us are fools, easy to bully and fool? If her son doesn't care about it, sooner or later he will cause trouble, let their mother do it. go!"
Shen Zhi tugged at Chunxiu's clothes, shook his head lightly, and signaled her not to speak, so as not to embarrass his mother.
Chunxiu shut her mouth, feeling almost terribly disgusted with Wei Xian'er, mother and son.
"Doctor Shen?" Ah Luo opened his mouth, "This..."
"I'll see you!" Before the words finished, Shen Muxi had already strode out of the room, striding out.
Chunxiu was angry, "Dr. Shen, why..."
"Mother doesn't want to be honest." Shen Zhi looked up at her, "Didn't you hear that woman is forcing my mother?"
"Yes, yes?" Chunxiu thought for a while, but couldn't figure out why.
A Luo leaned on the door frame, looking out with a solemn expression, "Just now someone from the bottom came to report that it was Concubine Wei kneeling outside the door, do you know what is scary? If Dr. Shen doesn't come out of this door today, tomorrow will It must be infamous!"
Chunxiu was shocked, "This damned woman has such a vicious heart, I thought she was helpless, pretending to be pitiful here, but it turns out..."
"You have to know that Concubine Wei has been taking care of the affairs of the mansion all these years." A Luo walked out of the room, her face still pale, "Concubine Wei is very good at life and keeps buying people's hearts, so..."
"Then Dr. Shen is going to suffer?" Chunxiu ran away.
"Hey, Aunt Chunxiu!" Shen Zhi hurriedly followed, "Aunt Aluo, we'll be right back!"
Ah Luo opened his mouth, because of the injuries on his body, he really didn't have the strength to look at the situation, so he could only lean weakly against the railing, waiting for them to come back.
Outside the courtyard gate, Wei Xian'er was indeed kneeling there, with tears on her peerless face, her lovely eyes were full of tears, she just looked up at Shen Muxi sadly.
With just one glance, Shen Muxi felt full of irritability, and those who didn't know how she was bullying Wei Xian'er!
"Get up!" Shen Muxi didn't want to look at her more, "Speak slowly if you have something to say."
"Doctor Shen!" Wei Xian'er burst into tears, "What happened before was that Yu'er was sorry for you, and that I was incapable of teaching my son. No matter how you want to scold me and punish me, I will accept it willingly. Please, for the sake of being a mother. Come on, help me this time! I kowtow to you, is that okay?"
Shen Muxi was stunned, seeing Wei Xian'er was about to kowtow.
Chunxiu rushed out from the courtyard, and immediately shouted, "Stop!"
This unexpected shout, let alone Wei Xian'er, even Shen Muxi trembled in fright.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Chunxiu was not easy to mess with, with a strong body and a loud voice.
Wei Xian'er couldn't stand her scare, and almost collapsed on the ground, but fortunately, Yizhu hurriedly helped her up, the master and servant stood against the wall, staring at Chunxiu with panicked faces, afraid that Chunxiu, who was so rude and rude The woman will rush over like crazy.
With Chunxiu's strength, it is estimated that he can throw these two guys far away with one hand.
"Don't think that Dr. Shen has a good temper, so you can bully him vigorously. With me, Chunxiu, I don't think it will take too long!" Chunxiu has learned how to behave now, and she must not take action against people like Wei Xian'er, otherwise it will be It's not clear why, but it's okay to scare and scare. So she just stood beside Shen Muxi, and didn't get close to Wei Xian'er, lest she be caught.
Wei Xian'er twitched twice, tears came as soon as she said it, "Doctor Shen..."
"What mourning?" Chunxiu sneered, "If you have something to say, if you cry again, go back to your room!"
Wei Xian'er didn't dare to vent his anger, and Yi Zhu's complexion turned blue.
"Wei side concubine, there is nothing wrong with your love for your son, but who do you think I am when you kneel and kowtow like this? If I don't see you, does everyone in Liwang's mansion think that I am proud of you? Relying on King Li's protection, I became a cruel and vicious woman? If I saw you, and you begged me hard but didn't move, I would become a cold and heartless person in private." Shen Muxi hates being plotted against .
Especially Wei Xian'er!
Do you really think she is Shen Muxi, the kind and stupid Xia Wenxi back then
"I, I didn't mean that. Yu'er disappeared, and the entire palace was searched, and now only Xia Ge is left, no one dares to go in and look for it, but I..." Wei Xian'er sobbed, "I have no other way, I beg you to understand the painstaking efforts of a mother! Dr. Shen, you also have children. If your child is lost, wouldn’t you be anxious? Dr. Shen...you have pity on me!"
"You say you are so pitiful, but do you really think so?" Shen Muxi felt tired, fighting wits with a masked woman here is the most boring thing in the world. It's just testing the bottom line of King Li towards me! You are deliberately using the child, and you dare to say that you are a mother, and what pains do you dare to mention?"
Wei Xian'er burst into tears, and couldn't stop shaking her head, "Mr. Shen, do you think I'm such a vicious person in your heart? Yu'er was conceived by me in October, and I risked my life to give birth. How can you doubt my love for you?" Children's love? Shen Muxi, you are going too far!"
Chunxiu was almost out of breath, if she hadn't been dragged by Shen Muxi, she really wanted to go up and tear Wei Xianer's hypocritical face. Shen Muxi said it so clearly, no matter how stupid Chunxiu was, she would have figured it out, but Wei Xianer would still pretend...
"You put yourself in a hurt position, and whose sympathy do you want to gain? A slave in the mansion? His Royal Highness Li Wang? Do you want to give you a mirror to see how ugly you look now?" Shen Muxi said calmly, and his face was calm and calm , "Wei Xian'er, not everyone can accept what you do."
After eating that cup of tea for the first time, and seeing A Luo's injuries for the first time, Shen Muxi no longer believed in Wei Xian'er's superficial weakness.
Even if it was Yizhu's hands, but... Wei side concubine who has always been generous to others, why does she have a cruel servant girl? Thinking about it, Yizhu dared to put Ah Luo in such a miserable situation only under Wei Xian'er's instruction.
Wei Xian'er burst into tears, with that weak and miserable appearance, no one would associate her with the vicious woman who is deeply in the city, "You, you don't help me, why do you slander me like this? I Where did I offend you so much that you are so jealous? The prince is yours now, what else do you want? If something happens to Yuer, I will die!"
"Who can count life and death?" Shen Muxi sneered, this woman is really stubborn, "Besides, why should I help you? The child is my seed? I let you have it? I let you raise it." I think you are seriously ill. I am neither your father nor your mother nor the father of your child. Why do you have to give me a helping hand if you say a word? Do I owe you?"
After some questioning, Wei Xian'er was dumbfounded.
Everyone was speechless!
"I will tell your son's father about this matter, but please don't let people come to me for anything else. I don't owe you. And you, it's best not to owe me favors, after all, I am Every penny counts, and those who are owed will definitely get it back, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it back!" Shen Muxi turned around with a flick of his sleeves.
The moment she turned around, her complexion darkened, and her eyes were cold.
As soon as he looked up, Bo Yunxiu was standing at the gate of the courtyard.
Behind him, Wei Xian'er knelt on the ground in an instant, crying miserably, "My lord!"
