Chapter 22 A wonderful rejuvenation is self-defeating
In the front hall of the outer palace, Chu Shou was helping Song Yanqing treat the wound on his arm after changing. The wound had stopped bleeding and was slightly scabbed.
Chu Shou's black hair hung down on his shoulders. He was afraid of pain. He lowered his head and blew on it. While applying the medicine, he frowned and asked, "Why are your incisions so neat?"
Song Yanqing turned his eyes, stopped staring at her face, avoided Chu Shou's eyes, looked at the wound quietly, and murmured: "I don't know."
"It's okay." After Chu Shou applied the medicine, he reached for the fine cloth to wrap it up, and vowed: "It's okay, don't be afraid. If I hadn't thought that the centipede left by you all would be useful, my hand strength wouldn't have been just that deep. But...it can be considered as revenge for you."
Song Yanqing pursed her lips, smiled slightly, and responded softly: "Yes."
As long as he didn't tell him, Chu Shou wouldn't know that the neat incision was actually the drug he accidentally inhaled to wake him up.
Seeing Chu Shou's serious expression as he applied the medicine, Song Yanqing couldn't help but smile, her eyes bright, and she stared at the person in front of her.
She said that she helped her avenge herself, so she must still...
"grown ups!……"
His thoughts were interrupted, and he saw Shen Yi stepping into the front hall with fierce wind. Seeing the scene in front of him, he was shocked to realize that he had disturbed the two of them, and immediately fell silent and became at a loss.
"I... better come back later..." Shen Yi hesitated and turned to leave. Chu Shou hurriedly stopped him, frowned and said in confusion: "Wait a minute! Mr. Shen! The two of us didn't do anything bad, we are innocent. Yes, you don’t have to avoid it.”
The corner of Shen Yi's mouth twitched, he paused, and turned around slowly...
Song Yanqing lowered her eyes, Qing Qing Bai Bai? Qing Qing Bai Bai? It turned out to be Qing Qing Bai...
Confused, he pulled down his sleeves and robe to cover the bandaged wound, looking a little lonely.
He turned to look at Shen Yi Ke, his eyes dark, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
Shen Yi was stunned when he was asked, and his mind went blank. Then he thought of it again and said with a nervous expression: "There is a letter from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, saying that they did not receive Huainiang, and they are afraid that she was kidnapped by that person."
Chu Shou packed his things, his ears pricked up, and he thought to himself: She originally thought that Zhao Qinghuai was a part of the plan of the Imperial Concubine. It was impossible for the Imperial Concubine not to know about the imperial concubine's secret plan, and asked Zhao Qinghuai to assassinate the imperial concubine. Is it a show? Maybe it's a shock? But when she saw Zhao Qinghuai's soft sword full of murderous intent, approaching the imperial concubine, she panicked and wondered why Song Yanqing made such an arrangement and had to take the imperial concubine's life... Now It sounds like there might be another reason.
Shen Yi Yan continued: "There is also the assassin. Hua Shu said that he might not survive tomorrow and needs to return to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for trial as soon as possible."
After saying that, he glanced at Chu Shou, then lowered his eyes and waited for Song Yanqing to speak.
"It's impossible. Even with my arrow wound, he can survive for three or four days without medical treatment. Isn't it easy to keep him alive? Do you have to go on trial overnight?"
Chu Shou sat down on the chair, frowning and explaining, "Can't you survive tomorrow?"
She paused for a moment and hesitated to speak. There was some dissatisfaction on her face, and she swallowed the words back: Then is Mu Huashu so inseparable from you?
Song Yanqing turned his eyes and thought, then nodded and stood up, saying: "Let's go out of the palace."
Chu Shou drank a cup of tea, and when she put it down, the teacup banged against the desk with a clang. At that moment, her heart was raging, but there was no expression on her face.
She was fine, but the other two had a lot of thoughts after hearing this:
Is she angry? Is she angry that I want to leave?
The princess must be angry, angry that I ruined their good deeds...
When Chu Shou saw the two people's gazes changing, he panicked in his heart: His hands were so strong...
Shen Yi frowned harshly, not knowing how to speak, and quickly said to Song Yan: "You...he accidentally inhaled the drug, and even made a cut himself. It's not impossible to take a rest before leaving the palace..."
After hearing this, Chu Shou raised his eyes, pointed at his forearm and looked at Song Yanqing, wondering: "No?"
Wasn't it the centipede? If it wasn't the centipede, then wouldn't it be true that she stabbed people so deeply with the golden arrow...
Seeing something was wrong again, Shen Yi Yan pursed his lips and sighed inwardly, maybe he had said the wrong thing, which made the atmosphere so delicate...
The three of them each had their own evil intentions. Ah Shui came over in a hurry and said anxiously: "Miss, Mrs. Gu, please come over. Miss Su Er's situation is not good!"
Chu Shou stood up immediately, glanced at the two of them meaningfully, and then hurriedly ran out.
"What's going on? Should we go or not?"
Song Yanqing sighed softly, raised his eyes, his dark pupils were filled with a hint of dissatisfaction and a sneer, and his thin lips were slightly opened: "What? You need to wake up?"
After saying that, he raised his hand to take out the short knife hidden in his sleeve. Seeing this, Shen Yiyan stepped back, and waved his hands with a look on his face: "Please! Please..."
When Chu Shou rushed to the side hall, Su Tiying was lying quietly on the bed. There were several imperial doctors standing around, with sad faces. As soon as she entered, Gu Hongying came to greet her.
"Princess, the imperial doctors said there was nothing they could do to save her. You studied under Dr. Miaochun, and you can help diagnose her pulse." After saying that, Gu Hongying covered her face and cried, while Su Bing'an hugged her behind and comforted her.
Chu Shou gently patted the back of Gu Hongying's hand, turned around and asked the imperial doctor: "How is the situation?"
The imperial doctor lowered his brows and replied: "Back to the princess, the second young lady was born weak and almost suffocated. She may have damaged her lungs after drowning. She should have forced out the choking water, but the second young lady seems to have no intention of surviving... Use No matter what method..."
Gu Hongying said again: "Princess, I know you have already sealed the box and refused to diagnose her, but please save Ying'er one more time!"
Gu Hongying looked at the thin Su Tiying lying on the bed and couldn't help but think of the time when the Gu family was in trouble. She just married into the Su family. The Su family was unwilling to intervene to save people. She was also so powerless. It was her father who fought against her grandfather on the battlefield. Please protect the friendship between General Chu and his siblings. They were powerless at that time and they are as weak as they are today.
As she spoke, she knelt down and couldn't stop crying. Chu Shou immediately helped her up and said, "She also fell into the river to save me. I will do my best."
Chu Shou came forward and sat on the edge of the bed, and gently touched her pulse. Although it was weak, it was still beating slowly. He rolled up his eyelids, but his pupils were not dilated. She glanced at the imperial doctors beside her. Those imperial doctors immediately rushed to the side. He lowered his head and did not dare to speak anymore.
The situation was in danger, and she could still save it with her best efforts, but she kept her mouth shut tightly. Is this how she has no nostalgia for the world?
She asked the imperial doctor for a pack of silver needles, took out several long needles, and pierced her head and shoulders respectively. After setting the needles, she took out plum blossom needles and finally pierced her arms.
Su Tiying suddenly started breathing rapidly, but it was not clear. She choked on the river water in her body, which hindered her breathing. She struggled uncomfortably, and Chu Shou stepped forward to suppress her again. Suddenly, her breathing reached the peak, her mouth opened, and her eyes suddenly opened. After opening the bed, Chu Shou quickly helped her up. Su Tiying supported her and climbed on the edge of the bed, spitting out all the water that had been choked and suppressed.
Chu Shou put away the silver needle, and everyone was relieved when they saw Su Tiying woke up and spit out all the water.
The imperial doctor took the silver needles and put them aside deliberately, remembering the location of the needles in his mind. Doctor Miaochun is a master that doctors all over the world are willing to follow. She often hides in the mountains and rarely accepts apprentices. She is the only one.
, a Princess Ruchuan, a little King of Zhongshan... It was a rare opportunity to watch her face-to-face consultation with my own eyes.
Just after everyone calmed down, Su Tiying suddenly screamed, stretched out her hand to push Chu Shou away, crawled to the inner corner of the bed, hugged her knees in panic, and stared at everyone in the room vigilantly.
"Are you still feeling unwell?" Chu Shou looked at her erratic behavior and was a little worried.
Su Tiying shrank back again, hugging her knees, her face buried in her arms, only revealing a pair of panicked eyes, like a deer being forced into a trap, her wet eyes were the same as those of Chu Shou
They looked at each other for a long time, and then said weakly: "Who are you? No...who am I?"
After hearing this, Chu Shou looked around at a loss. He wanted to stretch out his hand to check the pulse again. In order to prevent Su Tiying from being frightened again, he withdrew his hand. After many times he started to speak but then stopped and said: "Your name is Su Tiying, the second young lady of the Su family.
I am...a princess."
Su Tiying stared with tears in her eyes. After looking around, she asked again: "What era is it now...?"
"Era? The twenty-seventh year of Ming Qi."
Su Tiying murmured: "Ming Qi?" She lowered her eyes again and seemed to be thinking about something. Unable to suppress her emotions, she flattened her mouth and sobbed: "In which era is Ming Qi..."
Seeing that Su Tiying was speechless, Su Bing'an murmured to himself, held the folding fan tightly, and stepped forward: "It's getting late. Since Ying'er is fine, let's get out of the palace quickly."
He stepped forward and approached Su Tiying and said, "Ying'er, we have to get out of the palace quickly."
Su Tiying suddenly became emotional, pointed at him and said: "Don't come over! I don't know where you go back to! My home is not here..."
With that said, she hid behind Chu Shou again, clutching her clothes tightly, "I don't know him, I won't go with him..."
Gu Hongying also stepped forward to persuade: "Ying'er, be good, he is your brother, and I am your sister-in-law. We are now in the palace, and it is inconvenient to stay longer. How about we go home?"
Seeing that Su Tiying's mood was not stable and she didn't know what to say, Chu Shou turned to comfort her and talked to Su Bing'an again. Gu Hongying said: "Let's see. In her current state, I will keep her in the palace tonight."
Zhong, you two go back first."
Su Bing'an and his wife looked at each other and made a decision. They looked worriedly at Su Tiying who was shivering and shivering. They both bowed and said, "Then we can only trouble the princess."
@
The next day.
The sun rises further from the distant mountains. The sunlight sneaks into the palace along the window pavilion, bypasses the tables and chairs, and shines on the tent in front of the bed.
Ah Shui carefully cut off the dancing candle beside the bed. After putting away the scissors, she gently approached the bed, preparing to wake them up.
But before he could open the tent, the tent was lifted up from the inside. Ah Shui was startled, not because of the sudden flying tent, but because of Chu Shou sitting beside the bed.
Chu Shou's eyes were livid, his disheveled hair was in a mess, as if his energy and energy had been drained, he was weakly propped up by the bed.
Ah Shui said in surprise: "Miss, what are you..."
Chu Shou stretched out his hand tremblingly and took the warm handkerchief Ah Shui handed him, gently put it on his forehead, and said feebly: "I haven't slept all night..."
Ah Shui tilted his head and glanced at the second young lady of the Su family who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and snickered: "I only listened to you talking about it until midnight last night, but I didn't expect that it lasted until early morning."
Chu Shou yawned heavily, forced his eyes open and said, "She has been saying things I don't understand all night long..."
"Is Miss Su Er too frightened because of the assassin's physical and mental damage?" Ah Shui asked doubtfully.
Chu Shou stood up and dragged his tired body and said: "After all, it's not like I was pricked with a few needles and I was stunned. If word spreads about this, my master may come back from somewhere and beat me..."
Su Tiying turned over and touched the empty side of the bed with her eyes closed. After groping for a few times, she slowly sat up and knelt down by the bed, holding on to the curtain with only one face exposed, looking around.
All around, there was some disappointment but also curiosity mixed with excitement. Compared with the excitement last night, after a night of crazy output, it seemed that he had finally settled down and tried to accept everything unfamiliar in front of him.
Chu Shou sat on the round chair in front, leaning on his knees and squinting at her. He took an angrily bite of the food and said, "I should have asked your brother to take you back yesterday..."
Su Tiying smiled guiltily, followed Ah Shui's movements and opened the curtain obediently, got out of bed, walked along the round table, sat down and said: "I really don't know... No, I really forgot, press
If you say that my family has an irresponsible father, a vicious second mother, domineering older sisters, and a playboy younger brother, then I will definitely die if I go back... I have only watched a few house fighting dramas.
, I jumped in as soon as someone plotted against me..."
Chu Shou continued to squint his eyes and examine the person in front of him, and slowly said: "Although my medical skills are not perfect, your existence does make me doubt... myself."
Su Tiying lowered her eyes and became sad again, but she comforted Chu Shou and said: "Don't blame yourself, this is not your fault, this is just... a coincidence of time and space."
After saying that, she sighed again, picked up the chopsticks and put them down again. Thoughts accumulated in her heart, making her unable to breathe.
Chu Shou also put down his chopsticks and felt a little compassion. After all, he went crazy in her hands...
She actually didn't know much about Su Tiying's original personality, but she remembered that the eyes of the girl under the assassin last night were really different from today. One was desperate and lifeless, the other "smart and wise", which sounded a little heartless.
, so all kinds of reasonable logic cannot be applied.
The only thing is that if Su Tiying is stimulated again, just like yesterday, and makes her suffer from hysteria, then it will be her biggest sin...
Or there is another possibility. She was unconscious and weak, and fell into the river again... maybe she was possessed by the water ghost, but her behavior was nothing unusual except for a few things.
Or maybe she also followed some of the witch clan's methods of exorcising evil spirits and gave them to Su Tiying or herself.
Could it be that...she burned the temple on fire last night, and the Goddess of Heaven was angry? Was she deliberately causing trouble and making fun of herself?
Or maybe it's not that Su Tiying is crazy, but that she herself is crazy?
Chu Shou's eyes were covered with blue and black eyes, filled with fatigue and exertion, and he was puzzled... depressed and unhappy.
