That afternoon, Shen Jingci had just returned home when she heard Qin holding Qin standing at the door and laughing, "Miss, the old man is calling you over."
Shen Jingci casually took off her cloak and handed it to her, and asked, "Did you say anything?"
Baoqin lowered his eyebrows and said, "The old man looks quite happy, I guess it's a good thing."
After hearing this, Shen Jingci said, "Yes, I'll be there later."
Ever since Mrs. Shen said that she would not be allowed to use the power of the Shen family, she asked Xiao Junhan to borrow troops. But now, it has begun to bear fruit, and it has also yielded unexpected benefits.
After arriving in the study room, they saw Mr. Shen lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, a look of leisure on his face.
Hearing the noise, Mr. Shen opened his eyes. When he saw Shen Jingci, he immediately smiled and said, "Come here."
Shen Jingci lowered her eyes to say hello and said, "Grandpa, did you call me here for something?"
Mr. Shen waved his hand and said, "You have been very popular with grandpa recently. It is a good thing that the Xie family has been punished so miserably! Now there are many vacancies in the Xie family. If you want The only way is to fill in the members of our Shen family."
Hearing this, Shen Jingci's expression remained unchanged and she said, "Grandpa, this is the work of the second prince. How can I arrange for someone to do it?" This old fox wanted to come and catch him when he saw benefits, but as long as he did one thing wrong, She immediately turned against him, she really had to give him a blow this time!
Sure enough, Mr. Shen immediately changed his expression and said, "But you are from the Shen family."
"It's true that I am from the Shen family. Grandpa, I am also a man to be married, and will soon marry the second prince. Therefore, I naturally share the honor and disgrace with him!" The smile on Shen Jingci's face gradually turned into a cold look, She doesn't mind breaking up, but she can also maintain the current balance. Just wait and see how many chips Mr. Shen is prepared to give!
"What do you want?"
Seeing that Mr. Shen had indeed taken the road, Shen Jingci put on a smile and said, "Grandpa, what you said is out of context. However, I am originally a member of the Shen family, and I will seek benefits for the Shen family, and that is what I promised you."
However, you stopped talking first!
Shen Jingci didn't say this, but Mr. Shen already understood it and said, "From tomorrow on, all affairs in the family will be under your control, and the power of the Shen family will be assigned by you."
After hearing this, Shen Jingci smiled with satisfaction, "Grandpa, don't worry, it's not just that. Within a month, I will show you how the Xie family has slipped into the abyss!"
Hearing this, Mr. Shen didn't have much joy on his face, "This is the best!"
Shen Jingci went out without taking it seriously. As soon as she returned to her courtyard, she heard Shi Mo say, "Miss, Miss Zhang is here."
A hint of impatience flashed on Shen Jingci's face, and she asked softly, "Why is she here again?"
Shi Mo whispered back, "Looking at the angry look on his face, go and have a look."
"Yes." Shen Jingci nodded, lifted the curtain, and a smile appeared in her eyes, "Sister, why are you here?"
As soon as Zhang Xiuyan saw Shen Jingci, she immediately felt like she was seeing a savior. She stepped forward and held her hand and said, "Sister Shen, please save me. King Duan is here to pester me again!"
Shen Jingci smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? If he pesters you, just accept the order and not respond."
Xiao Junyi wanted to expand his power. Although the Jiang family had surrendered, his power as a civil servant was very weak. Therefore, Xiao Junyi became interested in the Zhang family.
Originally, the Zhang family was focused on Xiao Junhan. But now that Xiao Junyi is alone and Xiao Junhan has had troubles one after another, the Zhang family has become increasingly unsure.
Now that Xiao Junyi extended an olive branch, the Zhang family was a little shaken.
Xiao Junyi's idea is very simple, that is, marriage. Now the second prince and the third prince have chosen the main concubine, and the other has chosen the side concubine. Only Xiao Junyi, the popular Prince Duan, did not have a main concubine or a side wife. So he used this as a temptation and promised Zhang Xiuyan.
But Zhang Xiuyan was devoted to Xiao Junhan and did not want to be with Xiao Junyi.
When Shen Jingci got the news, she immediately thought about it, because he taught her a trick, "Just tell her that you hate Xie Ruzhuo. If he can bring down the Xie family, you will allow him!"
At that time, Zhang Xiuyan thought it was a clever plan, so she told Xiao Junyi the original words. This is why the oiran later deliberately inquired about the Xie family, and why Xiao Junyi instigated the court officials to bring down Xie Shenxing.
It's just that Zhang Xiuyan didn't expect that it would be easy for her to invite gods but difficult to send them away. Now Xiao Junyi thought that he had a chance to win and entangled her even more!
"Sister Shen, you said this lightly, but if you don't respond after I accept it, even a fool will not agree!" Zhang Xiuyan was so angry that she stamped her feet and even doubted Shen Jingci's purpose, "Sister Shen, Do you really want me to marry Xiao Junyi, and then no one will compete with you for your cousin?!"
Shen Jingci felt guilty, but her face remained calm, "Sister, if you don't believe me, then I have nothing to say. But I was harmed to the point where everyone scolded me, wasn't it also Xie Ruzhuo who harmed me? ? I have no sisters, I only have a close friend like you. I thought you would believe me—"
Speaking of this, Shen Jingci's eyes suddenly filled with water, making the person look so pitiful.
Zhang Xiuyan felt that she had spoken too harshly again, so she waved her hands and said, "Sister, I didn't mean that. Oh, it's all that bitch Xie Ruzhuo!"
After Zhang Xiuyan left, Shen Jingci slowly sneered. If Zhang Xiuyan hadn't come today, she would have forgotten that there was still Xie Ruzhuo who had not received his retribution!
Xie Ruzhuo, just wait, you will be next!
It is said that the weather in spring is changeable. During the day, the sky is still clear, but at night, there are already signs of storms coming.
After Xie Ruzhuo had dinner, he leaned on the soft couch in front of the window and fell asleep. In the past few days, her body had been particularly tired due to the effects of the medicine.
Jiang Zhu walked over quietly, and seeing that she looked drowsy, he made the bed, walked to Xie Ruzhuo and whispered, "Miss, would you like to go to bed?"
Xie Ruzhuo was awakened by her voice and felt a cold sweat break out all over his body. He waved his hands weakly and said, "It's okay, it's still early. I'll go back to sleep later."
Just now, when she was half asleep and half awake, she felt cold all over her body. After being called by Jiang Zhu, she was actually sweating a little now.
She didn't know why, but she felt particularly uneasy tonight, always feeling that something was going to happen.
After sitting for a while, Xie Ruzhuo stood up and said, "Jiangzhu, help me get pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Jiang Zhu agreed, and while laying out paper for her to grind, he asked, "Miss, do you want to write a letter?"
Xie Ruzhuo shook his head and did not answer. He just walked to the table and picked up a pen to write. But she thought for a long time, but just let the drop of ink fall on the paper. After a long time, she wrote a line:
Walk to a waterless place and sit down to watch the clouds rise.
At this moment, a thunder exploded from mid-air, illuminating the world for an instant.
Then, I saw the heavy rain pouring down like water, and soon the ground by the window was wet.
Jiang Zhu hurriedly closed the window, moved the soft couch in front of the window, and said, "Why did it rain so well today?"
Xie Ruzhuo said to himself, "Sure enough, a storm is coming."
As she read, she put the pen in her hand back to its original place, looked at the line of words and chuckled, "That's about it." As she said that, she took out Xiao Junxi's letter again, and only saw the ten words on it. It is exactly the same as what Xie Ruzhuo wrote.
In her previous life, she practiced calligraphy deliberately for Xiao Junhan. But in this life, she unconsciously wrote in the same font as Xiao Junxi.
It can be seen that the influence between people is still very large.
As soon as she showed signs of getting better, someone came out of the rain and hurriedly patted the courtyard door.
Qianbi was sitting outside. When she heard the movement outside, she quickly held an umbrella and ran over to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, she was immediately surprised and said, "Seventh, seventh princess?"
Xie Ruzhuo heard the voice and stood up to greet him, but saw Xiao Xining running in by herself.
It hadn't rained when she arrived, but now she was drenched. Seeing Xie Ruzhuo, she couldn't help but drag him out, saying, "Hurry, follow me into the palace!"
Xie Ruzhuo was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously, "What happened?"
Xiao Xinning shook his head and said, "It's too late to explain. Let's talk about it while walking later. Something happened to my royal brother!"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo's eyes widened immediately. He didn't even take an umbrella, but ran into the rain first. Qianbi behind him shouted, "Miss, umbrella!" As he said this, he held an umbrella and chased after the two people.
Behind them, Jiangzhu and Hongrui looked at each other in confusion, watching the group of people disappear in the rain.
When they got into the carriage, both of them were drowned. Xiao Xinning looked at the two people's current appearance with amusement at first, and then his face fell down and said, "Zhuo'er, aren't you the disciple of Divine Doctor Wen? You must save my third brother this time!"
Xie Ruzhuo grabbed her hand and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
The carriage rattled along, still going very fast in this rainy day. Xiao Xinning shook her head and said, "I went to have dinner with my third brother in the evening, but who knew that just after he finished eating, he suddenly became ill! The imperial doctor came to check, but he didn't find anything. He just said it was him. His body was too weak, so he relapsed early. I searched all over the palace and couldn't find Divine Doctor Wen. Aren't you his disciple? You must have something to do, right?"
Having said this, Xiao Xinning looked at Xie Ruzhuo expectantly.
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo's heart was suddenly pulled together. She said why she was uneasy. It turned out that something had happened to Xiao Junxi!
However, although Wen Ruyu was her nominal master, he didn't teach her much about medicine.
"That's all, I'll give it a try." Now that Wen Ruyu was away, she had no choice but to bite the bullet.
When they arrived at Xiao Junxi's palace, the heavy rain still showed no sign of stopping, and instead became heavier and heavier.
Xie Ruzhuo jumped off the carriage and ran towards the palace in the rain.
When Xiao Xinning saw this, he imitated her and ran in.
There were already a room full of imperial doctors kneeling in the room. Concubine Ye was walking around the room and asked, "There are so many imperial doctors, are you helpless? What's the use of you!"
There was a hint of anger in her words, but the group of imperial doctors could only kowtow and say, "I'm afraid!" The third prince's illness was always seen by miracle doctors, and they never interfered. Now even if I want to investigate, I have no clue!
After Xie Ruzhuo entered the door, he was stunned when he saw such a scene. She didn't have time to think, so she immediately knelt down and said, "My lord, Xie Ruzhuo, would like to send my regards to the noble concubine. May your concubine be blessed with peace of mind."
Concubine Ye suddenly saw a girl who looked like a drowned rat walking in, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
