If it hurts, don't mention it again.
This is Shen Muxi's experience gained for so many years, don't think about it or mention it, although you can't pretend it didn't happen, it's okay to deceive yourself occasionally, who is not a human being for the first time, why bother to be true to yourself
"I can heal my body, but I can't heal my heart." Shen Muxi patted Guan Yuqing's back lightly, "If you have anything to do in the future, just come to me, Xiao Zhi also likes you very much, you are still best friends!"
Mentioning Shen Zhi, Guan Yuqing cried and laughed, "You have such a good son."
"If you've cried enough, don't cry any more!" Shen Muxi helped her sit down, took a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears off her face, "Tears are a good thing, you can cry for yourself, but never for those People who hurt you cry, they want to see you cry!"
Guan Yuqing sneered, "You...you are sad!"
"Sadness will always pass, don't you have a good life?" Shen Muxi took a deep breath, "Go back and make something delicious for you?"
"Really?" Guan Yuqing wiped away tears, "Don't lie!"
"Don't worry!" Shen Muxi felt relieved, "For the lotus appreciation meeting in the evening, eat it well, otherwise I won't be sorry for this tone."
"Yes!" Guan Yuqing smiled, and then added, "You are so kind."
Whether you are good or bad is actually not that important. Some people think you are good, but naturally others think you are bad. If you pay too much attention, you will gradually be called a bad person in the eyes of others, and eventually even you will forget who you are.
Turning his head and looking into the distance, there was a familiar figure in the corridor.
Bo Yunxiu stood with her hands behind her back, standing there quietly, the two of them looked at each other across the garden, he could see her, and she could see him, but neither of them took this step.
"Will the prince want to go there?" Mi Li asked in a low voice, just now Doctor Shen and Concubine Guan were embracing each other and crying, the prince looked a little nervous. In front of the empress dowager, even if she protects Dr. Shen openly and aboveboard, why would she not dare
Bo Yunxiu narrowed her eyes, "Has the Lotus Appreciation Conference been settled properly?"
"Everything is in accordance with the prince's instructions, and I dare not make any omissions!" It was originally a banquet in the harem, and the prince did not need to attend the banquet. But because of Dr. Shen's relationship, the prince is very careful. Mi Li didn't believe that the prince was really moved, but now he really believes it. Then Dr. Shen is afraid that he will really want to be Princess Li.
Hearing this, Bo Yunxiu turned around and left without looking back.
Watching the back of Bao Yunxiu's departure, Shen Muxi lowered his eyes, a man's heart changes so quickly!
"My lord cares about you very much!" Guan Yuqing said.
"There is a side concubine Wei who is quite favored in the palace. Who am I? It's just a doctor!" Shen Muxi didn't dare to get involved with Bao Yunxiu, lest he not know how he died when it happened.
Guan Yuqing suddenly sneered, "Favoured? Her? Cut..."
Shen Muxi smiled lightly, and didn't ask.
If you don't ask, you won't think too much, and you can live a comfortable life.
At sunset, singing and dancing are peaceful.
The Lotus Appreciation Conference of Lianhua Xiaozhu has already started, but in places with many people, there will inevitably be some gossip.
About Concubine Guan from Li Wangfu, who slandered Concubine Wei in order to fight for favor, fortunately His Royal Highness Li and the Queen Mother upheld justice. The prince saw that Concubine Guan was the Queen Mother’s niece, so he allowed Concubine Guan to be innocent .
Nian Qiu was very angry, but he had suffered from being dumb before, so how could he dare to stand out so easily.
How could Guan Yuqing not know what her maid was thinking, because she had lived half her life and would always stuff cakes behind her back. The little girl blocked her mouth, so she could naturally calm down and stop thinking about it.
Gossip is nothing more than gossip, it goes in one ear and out the other, those who want to watch the excitement are the ones who are mad, and if there is no excitement to watch, they will naturally stop.
"Ah Luo, do you recognize these people?" Shen Muxi asked.
A Luo shook his head, "A Luo has been serving at Li Wang's Mansion, and has never been in the palace, so I don't know the nobles in the palace."
The cakes are served, and the drinks are also served. The smell in the nose is light and fragrant, and the wind blows the lotus shadows everywhere. Putting aside those annoying things, the scenery here is really good!
This was originally a palace banquet. According to the usual practice in previous years, Li Wang's mansion condemned Wei Wei's side concubine to come, and never asked in person, but I didn't expect this time, it was strange, not only came in person, but also sat next to Shen Muxi.
In the eyes of the concubine, His Royal Highness Li Wang is sitting and enjoying the blessings of everyone, with Wei Xian'er on the left and Shen Muxi on the right.
The emperor sat high above. Everyone knew that Bo Yunchong had always been unrestrained. He would cross his legs for a while, make the concubine laugh for a while, then turn around and start punching the concubine.
It was the first time for Shen Muxi to see such an absurd emperor, so let alone being absurd, and even a group of women in the harem, also followed happily. No wonder the queen mother has a bad temper. With such a rambunctious harem, she was not pissed to death All good.
The cakes are so-so, it’s okay to eat one bite, but if you eat too much, you will get tired and panic.
Shen Muxi picked up the jug and poured himself a glass of wine, thinking about how many years he hadn't touched this thing? It seems that since that time, I never dared to move or even think about it. She has never drank imperial wine in the palace, so it would be nice if she had a chance to taste it now.
Picking up the cup, Shen Muxi frowned slightly, very puzzled, why does this royal wine not have the slightest smell of wine
Is all the wine in the palace like this
"My concubine offers a cup to the lord!" Wei Xian'er picked up the cup.
When Wei Xian'er opened his mouth, Shen Muxi was taken aback.
Guan Yuqing on the side was peeling peanuts, she paused subconsciously, turned her head to look, Li Wang was sitting in the center, one left and one right...all holding their cups, in the eyes of outsiders, they were fighting for favor.
Nian Qiu poked her head, "Miss, what's the matter?"
"Someone is going to be a demon again!" Guan Yuqing gritted her teeth, and chewed the peanuts in her mouth with a bang, "It really doesn't stop!"
Nian Qiu pouted, "It's really annoying!"
Guan Yuqing hurriedly stuffed the lotus on the desk to Nianqiu, "Quiet the fire!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Bo Yunxiu, Shen Muxi thought, don't join in the fun, he doesn't want to show off at all. But A Luo who was beside her quickly supported her arm, and motioned her not to let it go, so as not to make people laugh at her.
Shen Muxi froze for a moment, turned his head to look at Bo Yunxiu who brushed Mi Li away and poured wine by himself.
"Shen Muxi, do you really want to offer a toast to the King?" The words were not nice, but the body was very honest, as soon as the words fell, the cup had already been raised in front of Shen Muxi, and she couldn't allow her to back down.
"Doctor Shen!" Ah Luo quietly pushed.
A clink of glasses caused an uproar in the hall.
Wei Xian'er's face was completely swept away, and she was completely out of favor.
Bo Yunxiu drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, his eyes were like glass, and he stared at her with a half-smile.
Seeing the peach blossoms on his face, Shen Muxi felt that he might pour it out of a glass, right? It's possible that the drinking capacity before was not so bad... After thinking about it, she picked up the cup, but she was stunned when she took it in. After drinking, she gave Bao Yunxiu a hard look.
I thought this guy was full of peach blossoms, but now I realize it was a mockery of her.
Shen Muxi put down the cup, quickly opened the lid of the wine pot, sniffed fiercely with the tip of his nose, "It's unreasonable!"
"Doctor Shen, what's the matter?" A Luo asked in a low voice, it was just a drink with the prince, why is Doctor Shen so angry
"Where is this royal wine? It's clearly warm water!" Shen Muxi glared at Bao Yunxiu angrily. Who else could do such a thing, except for the man in front of him? Look at his smug look.
Bo Yunxiu put down the cup and filled it up by herself, but when she lowered her head, she raised the corners of her lips slightly, the left was only fleeting.
But Wei Xian'er could see clearly that she had been by Bo Yunxiu's side for so many years, and she had never really gotten close to him.
For seven years, after the fire, Bo Yunxiu never smiled again, and his eyes were as cold as an abyss, and there was no other expression. Even if he treats Bo Yu, it's just perfunctory.
Everyone in the world has heard that His Royal Highness Prince Li dotes on Concubine Wei, and the entire Prince Li Mansion is handed over to Concubine Wei to take care of it. In the huge backyard of Prince Li Mansion, there is nothing but Concubine Wei's son. It can be seen from this that the love is deep and meaningful, how unswerving!
But now, all illusions were torn apart on the spot, and Wei Xianer's dream was finally completely shattered.
So far, the rumors about Guan Yuqing slandering Concubine Wei because of fighting for favor, have been self-defeating. His Royal Highness Li Wang doesn't care about Concubine Wei at all, Guan Yuqing wants to be jealous and has to trouble this new favorite of Li Wang, why bother to find Wei Xian'er
At the Lotus Appreciation Conference, Shen Muxi drank a pot of warm water until the end...
Of course, during the banquet, there were also food being handed over from the side. Sometimes it was white and tender sea bass soup, and sometimes it was a small dish of peeled prawns. They were all things she liked to eat in the early years. He didn't know her I don't know what she ate in Huli Village in Nian, she has already forgotten the taste of the past.
The previous hobbies, after several years of indifference, have long since lost the excitement of their youth.
After drinking for three rounds, the whole house is slightly tipsy.
Shen Muxi was naturally not used to such an atmosphere, so he left with Guan Yuqing and walked slowly along the Furong Canal.
The moon is like a jade plate, hanging in the night sky.
The silver light is pouring, and the pool is full of love and moon.
Maybe he ate too much, Nianqiu yelled about his stomach ache, so Shen Muxi and Guan Yuqing sat on the railing, admiring the moon and lotus was also quite interesting, the night was cool, not like the hot and dry day, so they stopped to have a rest Also excellent.
Guan Yuqing turned to break the lotus pods, "Doctor Shen, the lotus pods in the Furong Canal grow big and crisp lotus seeds, which are really delicious. I'll fold them for you to taste!"
"A Luo, see if there is any tender lotus pods, pick some back, and I will make lotus pods for you." Shen Muxi laughed.
"Yes!" A Luo took advantage of the moonlight to find Nen Lian Fang.
In the distance, a maid came hurriedly.
Yuegui's mission is to protect Shen Muxi, so no matter what time it is, he must be fully focused and pay attention.
then...
With a "plop", Shen Muxi's first reaction was that someone fell into the water, "A Luo, Miss Guan?"
Both A Luo and Guan Yuqing were standing by the railing, one was holding the lotus pod and the other was holding the tender lotus chamber, it wasn't the two of them who fell into the water.
"Who fell into the water?" Shen Muxi hurriedly asked.
With a cold face, Yue Gui stepped on the railing, watching the ripples under the lotus leaves, "She jumped down by herself."
Everyone was stunned and didn't understand what was going on.
The guards arrived quickly, because the lotus leaves were lush and the underwater silt was thick, if you want to fish people out of the lotus pond, you must have excellent water skills, which is why Yuegui didn't save people immediately.
"The mission of the humble officer is to protect Dr. Shen. People ran towards Dr. Shen directly. The humble officer thought that she was trying to harm Dr. Shen, but before the humble officer could touch her, she tilted her body and turned towards the lotus pond beside her. I fell down." Yuegui saluted, and respectfully explained what happened, "My lord, I swear by my humble official, I will never do anything!"
Of course, Bo Yunxiu believed in the person he chose, but why would someone commit suicide in front of Shen Muxi for no reason
"found it!"
With a loud shout, everyone's attention was attracted.
The maid who was covered in mud was picked up from the bottom of the water by the guards, and dragged to the case in disuse.
"It's really bad luck that something like this happened in such a good lotus appreciation meeting!" Bo Yunchong was unhappy, his face turned red from drinking, he waved his hands and walked out, "You check slowly, I... I'm tired!"
Ding Quan hurriedly supported the crumbling emperor, "Oh my god, your majesty, please step carefully, it's too unsafe here."
With a wave of his hand, "The emperor rides!"
Obviously, Bo Yunxiu was asked to clean up the mess this time, as the emperor did every time.
After falling into the water for too long, the maid was already out of breath when she was brought up, Shen Muxi squatted down quickly, put the handkerchief against her fingertips, and gently pressed the maid's skin, "The body is still soft, it is true that she just died not long ago .”
The abdomen is distended like a drum, and it really seems to be drowned.
"Why can't you think about it?" Guan Yuqing was in a daze holding a pile of lotus pods. Shen Muxi sighed, "I probably know why she can't think about it."
As she spoke, she lifted the skirt of the maidservant, revealing her calf which was still wrapped in bandages. The bandages were covered with mud, but the bandages looked newly wrapped, not like old scars.
Guan Yuqing was shocked, "You mean, this is..."
"Maybe it's the slightly lame palace maid you saw before!" Shen Muxi stood up, looking back at Bao Yunxiu with a solemn expression, "Bo Yunxiu, didn't you go to investigate? Where's the person?"
"Didn't you see it all?" He stared at her coldly, implying that he asked her knowingly!
On the contrary, Mi Li was well-behaved, and quickly explained, "Mr. Shen, don't misunderstand. Before the prince went to investigate with a lowly position, there was indeed a maid named Du Ruo in the sub-book. No matter when she was injured, or her body shape, it was more suitable for her." Described by Concubine Guan. But at that time, the person had disappeared, and the humble officials searched the palace, but there was no trace. Who knows...she died here."
Shen Muxi frowned slightly, "He died here for no reason, right in front of me?"
"Damn it!" Guan Yuqing spat, "What bad luck!"
"Find me for an autopsy!" Bo Yunxiu left a sentence and dragged Shen Muxi away.
Nianqiu ran back in small steps, seeing so many people blocking the Furong Canal at first, and seeing Li Wang dragging Dr. Shen away in a hurry, his mind was a little dazed for a while, "Miss, what's the matter? The prince and Dr. Shen are fighting again ?”
"Isn't it too deliberate to die in front of Dr. Shen like this?" Guan Yuqing touched her chin, feeling a little doubtful, and raised her head to glance at Wei Xian'er, who was pale. It's going to be a nightmare!"
After the sound fell, Guan Yuqing walked away in a huff.
Wei Xian'er's face paled, even her breathing changed, "Yizhu, let's go!"
Bao Yunxiu dragged Shen Muxi away, maybe he thought she was walking too slowly, so he just carried her away.
Shen Muxi was so shocked that his face turned red instantly, and he grabbed his skirt and shouted, "Bo Yunxiu, you are crazy, this is the palace, do you want everyone to see it?"
"You can see it when you see it, you are definitely the princess of Li!" His rascal appearance once again refreshed Shen Muxi's cognition, "The palace is not safe, I will take you home!"
"Where is Zhi'er? You didn't lie to me before entering the palace..."
"You know it's lying to you, but you also believe it?"
Shen Muxi was short of breath, and pinched his arm fiercely. But this man's arm is like iron, he didn't move at all, she pinched her fingers sorely, how could she forget that he is a martial arts practitioner, how can she shake it without the strength of a chicken
After thinking about it, she reached out and touched his waist.
"If you dare to pinch it down, this king wants you right here!" He gritted his molars and stared at her fiercely.
Shen Muxi was stunned, should he pinch or not? After hesitating and delaying, she had already arrived in front of the carriage, and when she got into the carriage, he pushed her down on the soft couch, and even covered her with a blanket.
Eyebrows twitched, Shen Muxi swallowed, and looked at the resentful person with a little panic, Bo Yunxiu really expressed the four words "moody" vividly and vividly with actions.
"Have you seen enough?" He glanced at her.
Shen Muxi immediately looked away, subconsciously clutching the front of his clothes.
"The injury hasn't healed yet, let's go to bed!" Xu Shi realized that his tone was not very good, and Bao Yunxiu suppressed his throat slightly, leaned on the other side of the soft couch, twirled the book casually, and flipped through it randomly.
With eyes closed, Shen Muxi didn't bother to pay attention to him.
There was a faint pain on her forehead, if it wasn't for him, how could she suffer this wronged stick
The carriage moved smoothly, and the temperature inside the carriage was moderate.
Not long after, Shen Muxi breathed evenly, and actually fell asleep.
Book, or turn to that page, this will still be able to read into the book, that is the real hell. From the moment he opened the book until she fell asleep, he didn't read a single word, and the corner of his eye kept falling on her.
People in the twilight have mild eyebrows and eyes, not as sharp as when they are awake.
Gently putting down the book in his hand, Bo Yunxiu took a deep breath, moved a little, thought for a while, made a gesture to tuck the blanket for her, and moved closer. Some movements were extraordinarily twitchy, like a thief, besides being cautious, there was a little bit of luck in not being caught.
He got closer, and when he lowered his head, he could see her crow-feather-like eyelashes, which covered the lower eyelids so lightly, floating slightly with his breathing. Trying to suppress the range of movement, he put his arms on the sides of her cheeks, as if taking advantage of the situation to hold her in his arms.
low, a little.
Again, a little lower.
He leaned down quietly, staring at her slightly pursed lips with dark eyes. It's like seeing a beloved toy when you were young, and the secret joy when you are about to get it, full of expectations.
"My lord!"
The carriage stopped suddenly, and Mi Li's respectful call suddenly sounded outside.
Shen Muxi groaned, opened his eyes wide, and looked at this face so close in disbelief.
Eyes facing each other, wide-eyed and small-eyed.
"What are you doing?" Shen Muxi gritted his teeth.
Bo Yunxiu's Yintang turned black, his back felt chilly, and he was caught on the spot as a thief, so don't feel guilty!
Suddenly, Shen Muxi was patted lightly on the face.
Yes, the force was very light, as light as a tickle, but enough for Shen Muxi to stare dumbfounded?
"There are mosquitoes!" Bo Yunxiu got up and left.
Shen Muxi was confused, looked around subconsciously, reached out and touched the face he touched, are there mosquitoes in the carriage? The carriages from the palace are not all guarded by someone, so how could it be possible for mosquitoes to run into them
Mi Li bowed and saluted outside, but before he could speak, Bo Yunxiu ordered in a cold voice, "Go to the punishment room and get twenty lashes!"
"Prince??" Mi Li's eyes widened, not knowing where he was wrong.
Twenty whips
It's fine to be punished, what is the charge
Everyone stared at Mi Li with puzzled faces. At that moment, Mi Li felt that Dou E was not wronged. Dou E was charged with some kind of crime. What was wrong with him
Chunxiu and Shen Zhi have been waiting at the door, seeing Shen Muxi come back, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mother!" Shen Zhi flung himself into his mother's arms, "Mother didn't come to find Zhi'er when she entered the palace, so Zhi'er and Aunt Chunxiu went back to the palace and couldn't find mother everywhere."
Shen Muxi sighed lightly, but she was confused when she cared, and Bao Yunxiu took hold of her weakness, and she was also pissed off by Bo Yunxiu.
"Mother will pay attention, this is not an example." Shen Muxi bent down and kissed his son's face, "Go back!"
The mother and son walked towards the door of the mansion holding hands, but when they got to the door, they saw Bo Yu standing at the door waiting.
Bo Yu kept a cold face and ignored no one. He had relatives around him before, but since he made a mistake and fled back to Liwang's mansion, Bo Yunxiu withdrew the people around him to take heavy responsibility. Now Bo Yu is already a widow, with no one to rely on except his mother.
"Don't look, let's go!" Chunxiu pushed Shen Muxi's mother and son.
"Let's go!" Shen Muxi led Shen Zhi, and the three left while talking and laughing.
Bo Yu stood where she was, turned her body slightly, and looked at their backs with lonely eyes. The lantern at the gate of the mansion radiated bright light, and a small figure was falling. He just stood upright at the gate, his lonely look gradually replaced by loss.
When the carriage stopped, Bo Yu hurried forward, "Mother!"
Wei Xian'er got out of the car with a pale complexion, and lightly stroked the child's little head, "Why are you standing outside? Didn't mother tell you that as a young master of Li Wang's mansion, you should be respectful and restrained, and you can't lose your composure like this? Especially How can you go on a rampage in front of people."
Bo Yu opened her mouth, her little hands clenched her cuffs tightly, and finally nodded obediently, "Yu'er understands."
"So cute!" Wei Xian'er sighed softly, letting Yi Zhu help her into the door.
Too many things happened tonight, Wei Xian'er was exhausted physically and mentally, how could he care about Bao Yugao's displeasure.
Bo Yu stood at the gate of the mansion, looked up at the lantern which was swaying left and right by the wind, her little head drooped slightly, and finally stepped into the door, staring fixedly at Wei Xian'er's back, with no trace of joy on her face.
the next day.
Shen Zhi entered the palace on time, and Shen Muxi asked A Luo to send a bowl of plaster to Sunset Pavilion, and then took A Luo to the medical clinic. Regarding the death of the cat corpse and the girl Mudan, they should be investigated carefully, maybe they can also be related to the whereabouts of Aotian.
Early in the morning, Mr. Fu Yin stayed in the medical hall, and when he saw Shen Muxi coming in, he hurriedly made a bow.
Shocked, Shen Muxi hastily returned the gift, "My lord, Shen Muxi can't bear it!"
"Doctor Shen, I have to trouble you!" Fu Yin sighed softly, "Something happened again!"
Before Shen Muxi recovered from the panic, he heard the master beside Fu Yin say, "Just last night, something happened in the beggar's den, and a beggar died on the spot. It’s similar. We really have no idea here, Dr. Shen was the one who saw Miss Mudan at that time, now we can only invite Dr. Shen to come over and see if it’s the same disease!”
"If it's a plague..." Fu Yin covered his mouth in shock, "No, no, what I mean is that if something happens, you are a doctor, and you can take precautions early to prevent innocent people from dying tragically!"
"My lord, this is a medical clinic. Dr. Shen is a doctor and not a coworker. If something happened to you and you died, you come to see Dr. Shen. If someone finds out, how would others have the guts to come to see a doctor?" A Luo Not happy, "Didn't you smash our signboard by doing this?"
Fu Yin smiled awkwardly, everyone felt that this matter was unlucky. But he couldn't help it, who told His Royal Highness Li Wang to lean towards Shen Muxi, if something happened, if Li Wang didn't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, he could at least pull his back.
"It appeared again?" Shen Muxi frowned slightly.
The shopkeeper handed over the list, "Doctor Shen..."
"Shopkeeper, you have full authority to deal with it, I'll go to the government office to have a look!" Shen Muxi hurriedly stuffed the list back, and immediately left with the government official.
The shopkeeper chased him out, "Hey, hey, Dr. Shen... will you come back later?"
What is this called
When stepping into the gate of the government office, Shen Muxi turned her head subconsciously, frowning and looking around.
"Doctor Shen, what's the matter?" Fu Yin was afraid that Shen Muxi would repent.
"It's nothing." Shen Muxi felt a little uneasy, for some reason, she vaguely felt as if someone was staring at her. But with Yue Gui watching over him, there shouldn't be anything wrong, right
Watching Shen Muxi enter the door, Yue Gui's face was gloomy, and she also noticed it, but the more she was like this, the more she had to follow Shen Muxi closely, absolutely not letting Shen Muxi out of her sight.
No matter how much danger there is, leaving the side of the person who should be protected is the taboo of guardianship!
Thinking of this, Yue Gui quickly entered the door, not daring to take half a step away from Shen Muxi's side without authorization.
Someone was in the dark, staring at the gate of the mansion without blinking. The one who died was a beggar. He was still young, in his early twenties. He looked upright, but...
When Shen Muxi went in, Wu Zuo had taken the worms out of the beggar according to Shen Muxi's method last time, which was enough to prove that the cause of death of the beggar and Miss Mudan was basically the same.
Five internal perforations, blood loss and death.
The reason is these terrible bugs.
"Doctor Shen!" Wu Zuo nodded.
Shen Muxi returned the salute, "How?"
"The same method of killing, the same method of death, and the same bug!" Wu Zuo handed over the porcelain jar containing the bugs, "Look!"
Shen Muxi took it, his face became more and more cold, it really was the same.
Cat, peony, beggar, is there any connection between these three
After thinking about it, Shen Muxi really couldn't connect these things together for a while. If there is a connection, it would be... The same mistakes happened in Huli Village. insanity!
How terrible is this
The yamen servant hurried in, "Your Excellency, someone beat the drums to complain, saying that it was the Shen's Medical Center who killed people, want, want..."
When he said this, the yamen servant stared at Shen Muxi in a panic, his voice trembled slightly, "I want to sue Dr. Shen!"
Eyelashes suddenly raised, Shen Muxi froze on the spot in astonishment.
Murder? !
