Mr. Li stood outside the cell and looked quietly. The small cell was crowded with people.
Sitting next to Chen Danzhu's bed were Li Lian, Liu Wei, and Zhang Yao, and a man was inserting golden needles into Zhang Yao. The two girls and Chen Danzhu were watching carefully and laughing a few times.
"What are you doing here?"
Master Li's voice sounded from behind.
Young Master Li quickly turned around and called his father, then lowered his voice and pointed to the cell here: "Zhang Yao, that Zhang Yao is here too."
Of course Mr. Li knew who Zhang Yao was, and he said, "What's so strange about Zhang Yao coming?"
Everyone has been in this small cell.
Even if the emperor comes now, Mr. Li will not be surprised.
Young Master Li was surprised and asked in a low voice: "General Iron Mask has passed away, but Miss Danzhu is still so favored."
Is this what she calls living in a prison cell? She feels more comfortable than being in her own home.
Mr. Li didn't like to hear such words, as if he was an dishonest official! He was not that kind of person. He glared at his son and said, "Living in a cell is called living in a cell." It's just that the way of living is different. It's really rare to see a lot of fuss.
.
The father and son were talking when an official came over hurriedly, "Master Li, Master Li, someone from the palace is here."
Mr. Li's expression changed. What was supposed to come was still coming. Although he hoped that the emperor would forget about Chen Danzhu and have lived here in prison for a year and a half, it was obvious that the emperor had not forgotten it and remembered it so quickly.
Mr. Li glanced at the cell and left with a serious expression.
In the cell, Mr. Yuan suddenly pulled out the golden needle, Zhang Yao let out a loud cry, and the girls immediately touched their hands.
"There is a voice. There is a voice." Liu Wei said happily, "Doctor Yuan is really amazing."
Doctor Yuan smiled modestly: "It's a small thing, a small thing." He patted Zhang Yao, who was covering his neck, "Here, let's try to say something."
Zhang Yao covered his neck, as if he was frightened by the sound he made, and seemed unable to speak. He slowly opened his mouth: "I——" The sound came out, and a smile broke out on his face, "Ha, it's really better."
Although his voice is a bit hoarse, his articulation is as clear as a normal person's.
Dr. Yuan said: "It's not really cured. You have to take medicine for a few days, and you still have to talk less. It will take another six or seven days to really heal."
Zhang Yao saluted him and thanked him. Doctor Yuan accepted the courtesy with a smile and said to Chen Danzhu: "Miss Danzhu, the eldest lady is guarding your medicine. I will go and get Mr. Zhang's medicine together."
Chen Danzhu warned: "Sister, don't be too tired. Ah Tian can also make medicine."
Doctor Yuan responded and walked away.
Here Chen Danzhu waved to Zhang Yao: "Tell me, how are you doing outside these days?"
Zhang Yao said: "Okay, very good."
Chen Danzhu curled his lips and looked at him: "How do you look so good like this? Don't tell me that you are so haggard because of my rush."
It's clearly a matter of daily hard work.
Zhang Yao writes letters every day about building canals. The words are full of energy and happiness overflows on the paper. But now it seems that happiness is happiness, and the hard work is still the same as when he was thrown into a remote small county in his previous life. Maybe
It's even harder.
In my previous life, there were no canals to repair in remote small counties, so I didn't have to worry so much.
Zhang Yao waved his hands and said: "It's indeed very good. I can do whatever I want. Everyone listens to me. The newly built water gate is progressing very quickly, but hard work is inevitable. After all, this is a matter that affects people's livelihood for a century.
And I’m not the hardest worker either.”
He simply talked about what he did every day. Liu Wei, Li Lian, Chen Danzhu all listened carefully and admired him.
"What's the result?" Chen Danzhu asked with concern.
Zhang Yao said: "We are about to enter the flood season, so we can verify it." His eyes were shining, and he looked a bit proud. "Although it has not been verified yet, I can guarantee that it will be absolutely foolproof."
Liu Wei couldn't help but laugh: "Brother, you really dare to speak now. It's not the time when Miss Li and I asked you how long you could last while you were sitting in Zhaixing Tower, and you stretched out half a finger."
Recalling that time, Zhang Yao laughed: "That's different. There are specialties in the field. Now you ask me how many articles I can write, but I still don't have the confidence."
But he is afraid of everything when it comes to water management.
Chen Danzhu looked at the light in Zhang Yao's eyes and smiled reassuringly. Although it was very hard, his whole person was shining.
"However, you must also pay attention to your health." She repeatedly warned, "With good health, you can realize your ambitions and build more canals to prevent more droughts and floods. Don't be greedy for temporary success."
Zhang Yao nodded: "I know, don't worry, Miss Danzhu, what I want to do is a century-old plan, and I will also let myself live to be a hundred years old."
Liu Wei and Li Lian laughed again, "Brother, you will be the birthday girl." There was laughter in the room.
"This is Mr. Zhang." A smiling female voice came from outside, "I have long admired his name, and as expected, this place became very lively as soon as you came."
Before Chen Danzhu saw anyone, she hurriedly called out to her sister. Liu Wei and Li Lian turned around. Zhang Yao also hurriedly straightened his clothes and looked at the door. A tall young woman walked towards the door, with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like mountains.
Although Chun Shui is wearing a simple aqua blue dress, no makeup or pearls, she is still bright and beautiful. This is Chen Danzhu's sister Chen Danyan.
"Miss Chen." Zhang Yao saluted.
Liu Wei and Li Lian also followed Chen Danzhu and called her sister.
Chen Danyan returned the courtesy to Zhang Yao, looked at him again, and praised: "Master Zhang has an extraordinary temperament."
Chen Danzhu said proudly at the side, "Yes, yes, sister, Mr. Zhang is very powerful."
Zhang Yao sighed in his heart, maybe these two sisters were the only ones who could tell at a glance that he was extraordinary.
Chen Danyan walked in, followed by Doctor Yuan, holding two bowls of medicine.
"Okay, it's time to take medicine." Chen Danyan smiled and asked Zhang Yao to sit down.
Chen Danzhu had already sat down obediently, waiting for the medicine to be given.
Chen Danzhu was unconscious before, and Chen Danyan fed her medicine and ginseng soup one by one with her own hands. When Chen Danzhu regained consciousness, it was still Chen Danyan who fed her with medicine and food. Now she can sit on her own, and Chen Danzhu seems to be used to being fed.
Now, I can no longer take medicine by myself.
Liu Wei and Li Lian were laughing on the side. Chen Danyan sat by the bed and took the medicine bowl: "If you don't laugh, if you don't laugh, our A'Zhu is still sick." She took a spoonful, blew it gently, and sent it to her.
On the lips of Chen Danzhu.
Chen Danzhu opened his mouth to drink, and then wrinkled his face. Chen Danyan picked up the candied fruit in the pottery cup on the side, put it to her mouth and stopped.
"You can only take one bite, one candied fruit, and a bowl of medicine. You won't be allowed to eat more," she said.
Chen Danzhu reluctantly took a small bite.
Seeing her like this, Li Lian and Liu Wei laughed again.
"She has been like this since she was a child." Chen Danyan said to them, "Taking a medicine can feed someone for half a day."
But such a delicate girl dared to smear herself with poison in order to kill people. Liu Wei and Li Lian's smiles were inexplicably sour.
Over there, Zhang Yao looked at Dr. Yuan who was walking over, thought for a moment, and asked: "Do you want to take my medicine by yourself, or do you feed it to me, doctor?"
People in the room burst into laughter.
Mr. Li stood outside the cell and listened to the laughter inside. He felt that his steps were too heavy to lift, but thinking about the servants and guards standing in the government office, he could only go forward to the door.
"Miss Danzhu." He said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty has an order to escort you to the palace."
The laughter and laughter in the cell suddenly died down.
