The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

Chapter 443 The Empress Dowager Returns to the Palace (Second)

The dumb woman fell ill. She was already old. She was stimulated again yesterday, and she developed a fever without warning.

Shen Yijia knew some medical skills, but she never prescribed any medicine, and there was no medicine in front of her, so the husband and wife had to take the dumb woman to the town to see the doctor.

Fortunately, there was a false alarm, and the situation of the dumb woman was not too serious.

"I'll ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine for you later." Shen Yijia looked at the boy who was squatting and still coughing.

When I saw this person yesterday, I had a sick look on my face. Maybe because I didn't have the money to see a doctor, I kept dragging it...

Shen Yijia suddenly missed the condensed drop of spiritual liquid in the past three days. Although the effect is not as good as the third level, it is also not easy to be detected.

The boy said, "I... my name is Zhong Cheng."

loyalty? Zhong Cheng?

Shen Yijia came back to her senses and nodded: "You will ask the doctor to prescribe two medicines for you later."

She could also see that the grandfather and grandson had a deep relationship, and since the dumb woman was asked to testify against them, she must not ignore this person.

Zhong Cheng thanked in a low voice, poured out the boiled medicine and brought it to the dumb woman's room.

The dumb woman couldn't hurry. In order to make medicine easier, they asked for a small yard in the inn next to the medical center.

Originally, I planned to wait for her condition to stabilize before starting the next day.

This time it was another day, and by the time they got back on the road, it was already the fourth day they left Beijing.

Because it rained the other day, the road was full of mud, so Song Jingchen could only slow down.

But even if the speed is not fast, it is quite cold to sit on the edge of the car, but Shen Yijia is still stunned to sit outside and not enter the car, and her face is red from the cold.

Song Jingchen reluctantly persuaded: "It's cold outside, get in the carriage."

"I'm not cold." Shen Yijia shook her head, and after thinking about it, she tilted her body to the side, and slammed into Song Jingchen's arms, grinning: "I'll keep you warm."

She was still holding the hand warmer given by Song Jingchen in her arms, and now she was placed between the two of them, with a steady stream of enthusiasm digging into the two of them.

Song Jingchen paused, looked down at her, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything in the end, she only pressed her face back into his arms with the hand holding the whip.

This way the face won't blow the wind!

Shen Yijia pursed her lips and snickered.

The carriage walked slowly on the official road, Shen Yijia was shaken to sleep, and the carriage stopped suddenly.

She turned her head to look, and saw a carriage parked in the middle of the road ahead blocking the road.

A middle-aged man dressed as a coachman was standing beside the carriage.

Xu Shi finally waited for someone, and the middle-aged man walked up to their carriage with excitement and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, there is something wrong with our carriage, can you take my old lady for a ride?"

This road leads directly to the capital. Looking at the direction of their car, the purpose should also be the capital.

Song Jingchen scrutinized him up and down, and finally landed in his hands.

At first glance, the calluses of the tiger's mouth show that only those who practice martial arts all year round will fall.

Shen Yijia sat up straight and looked at the middle-aged man with the same vigilance.

"We have patients in the car, I'm afraid it's inconvenient." Song Jingchen said.

Zhong Cheng's cough sounded from the carriage at the right time.

Shen Yijia: It's a little clever, boy.

Seeing the precautions of the two, the middle-aged man explained helplessly: "Don't get me wrong, I have no ill intentions. It's just that we waited too long, and my old lady couldn't stand the cold, so she wanted to take a ride."

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in her 40s walked down from the carriage on the opposite side. The woman's clothes were not obvious, but her temperament was incomparable to those of the well-heeled ladies.

She first glanced at the husband and wife, and then she said: "My old lady said that as long as the son can take us for a ride, there will be a heavy reward afterwards."

Is this guy just an underling?

Shen Yijia and Song Jingchen looked at each other, pursed their lips and asked, "What happened to your carriage? We can try to see if it can be repaired."

A touch of embarrassment appeared on the middle-aged man's face: "The axle is cracked."

If he could fix it, he would have done it long ago.

It was still about an hour away from the capital. Originally, he could go to the capital on horseback and call a carriage to come over, but he did not worry about leaving his master here. In case of any accident, he would not have enough heads to chop off a hundred heads. .

Song Jingchen said: "But there are really sick people in our carriage, in case the sickness is passed on to your old lady..."

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way." The middle-aged man hurriedly said.

The woman frowned and glanced at him, but didn't say anything to refute.

A small look made the two people stand apart from each other.

Song Jingchen took a deep look at the carriage opposite and did not refuse.

With his consent, the woman turned around to help the man in the carriage down, who was wearing a curtain and couldn't see clearly.

The man nodded to Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia, and was supported by the woman into the carriage.

Their carriage was not big, but the four of them could still fit together, and the middle-aged man followed on horseback.

An hour later, the carriage entered the city smoothly, and the three master and servant left behind a purse and left.

Song Jingchen took someone to Xuanyuan Ce that.

Without him, the Song family was obviously the place that Shangguanpu focused on, and he was worried about putting it in other places, so he could only settle in Xuanyuance first.

Xuanyuan Ce didn't know whether to be happy or angry about the fact that the couple did not treat him as an outsider.

He was happy that he was trusted, but he was angry that he didn't tell him about such a big thing as going out of Beijing, and it would throw him a problem as soon as he came back.

"This is the food expenses for the two of them." Shen Yijia took out the purse she just got with a sore face.

She looked at it, and there were two silver notes and some pieces of silver in it, adding up to more than 200 taels, but it was just a trip along the way to give so much money, which was indeed considered a heavy reward.

Of course, she gave so much money not only for food expenses, but also for Xuanyuan Ce's help in front of her.

Xuanyuance understood what she meant inexplicably, and was troubled.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shen Yijia was seen inexplicably.

Xuanyuan Ce sighed: "I have to go back to Xuanyuan Country in a while."

Ji Yunxi suddenly left the Daxia capital on the grounds of looking for medicine. He felt that something was wrong and sent someone to investigate.

I didn't want to find her traces in Xuanyuan Country, but unfortunately, there was no news after that. Ji Yunxi was like a person who had evaporated from the world, and no matter how much we searched, we couldn't find it.

Thinking of Tianji Valley, he decided to take a trip in person.

Shen Yijia was stunned and almost forgot that this person was also going home. She thought about it and asked, "Is it inconvenient for the dumb woman to live in you?"

"No, I need to stay for a few more days." Xuanyuance shook his head, looked at Song Jingchen and said, "Since the witnesses have all been brought back, should you take action?"

The matter of the Song family is not resolved, and he does not worry about the girl Shen Yijia.

Song Jingchen pursed his lips and nodded: "It won't delay your time too much."

When they got home, Mrs. Li didn't ask them if they had found anyone, but urged the two of them to take a hot bath, and prepared a large table of dishes with Mo Yuan, waiting for the two of them to eat and drink enough to catch them first. Go back to your room to rest.

Song Jingchen knew that Li's heart really wanted to know the result, but he was worried that they were tired so he resisted asking, and said helplessly: "Mother, don't worry, we brought them back."

Li Shi stiffened, tears welling up in his eyes, and said with a smile, "That's good, that's good."

She pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief: "You guys go back to the room for a break. I see that Sister Jia has lost weight. I'll go to the kitchen to make some soup and drink it when you wake up."

Shen Yijia touched her face. She left for four days, not four months. She lost weight so quickly?

In the end, the two of them couldn't resist Li's return to the room to make up for a nap, and it was already dark when Shen Yijia woke up.

Perhaps because she slept for too long, Shen Yijia felt her head was dazed, so she sat on the bed for a while before getting out of bed.

Mo Yuan, who was standing outside the door, heard the movement and pushed the door in.

"Where is your uncle?" Shen Yijia asked, rubbing her eyes.

Mo Yuan walked over and waited on her to change her clothes: "King Xian is here, and my uncle is talking to him in the study in the front yard."

Shangguan Yu?

Shen Yijia frowned and muttered, "Why is he here?"

Mo Yuan: "I don't know."

"Forget it, forget it." Shen Yijia waved her hand and asked, "Have you seen the dumb woman?"

Song Jingchen usually doesn't forget the things she doesn't remember.

Sure enough, Mo Yuan nodded and said, "She's not in a good condition. It's been too long, and she's getting old again. If she takes heavy medicine, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold it."

In fact, the most important thing is to cure her throat, but this may not be cured.

Shen Yijia was not surprised by this result, she thought about it and asked, "Did you tell her?"

Mo Yuan glanced at her and shook her head: "No, the slave only said that she would do her best."

Shen Yijia gave her a thumbs up approvingly: "It's so smart, then you can help her 'govern'."

In the study, Shangguan Yu and Song Jingchen sat opposite each other. He was here today mainly for the affairs of the court.

Now, neither the ministers in the court nor the concubines and concubines of the harem, nor their princes, can see the emperor.

"The imperial doctor said that my father needs to rest, I am a little worried." Shangguan Yu sighed.

Song Jingchen: "I've been suspended now."

So what's the use of telling him this?

Shangguan Yu: "..."

"I have never asked you, on the day of my father's accident, did you really bring the old prince into the palace because you found out that he was the mastermind behind the abduction and trafficking of girls?"

On that day, Song Jingchen only said that the old prince was found to be the key person, but didn't say anything specific. When it comes to the incident at Mingxiangju later, everyone naturally thought that the key person Song Jingchen said was equivalent to the mastermind.

Song Jingchen took a deep look at him without being full, and told what the old prince and Shangguanpu had done.

A flash of consternation flashed on Shangguan Yu's face, and after confirming that he was not joking, anger rarely rose on his face: "He is such a dignified king, how can he disregard human life for his own selfish desires."

Song Jingchen: "Yeah, if it wasn't for the truth, who would have imagined it?"

"Since the uncle is going to confess his guilt, how could he possibly assassinate my father?" He paused abruptly and looked at Song Jingchen in disbelief, "The reason why you didn't say it that day was because you suspected that you had attacked my father. The real murderer is my eldest brother?"

The eldest brother can attack the father emperor in the palace where the guards are everywhere, and he doesn't need to think about it.

If Song Jingchen told the truth at that time, not only would he have his own life to worry about, but even what they heard would be imprisoned.

Song Jingchen acquiesced.

"No wonder I've always felt that something is wrong. I've been stopped every time I want to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the past few days. I think my father and emperor should be imprisoned by the first emperor." Shangguan Yu's face was covered with a strong look of worry. With a wry smile, he said, "However, that's also our biological father. I really didn't expect him to do this."

Song Jingchen didn't say a word, and there were ordinary people's families who fought against each other's father and son in order to compete for family property, not to mention the emperor's family.

The study fell into silence for a moment, and it took a long time for Shangguan Yu to speak: "No matter what, the most important thing now is to rescue my father, and we must not let him continue like this..."

He looked at Song Jingchen and continued: "Unfortunately we have no evidence, and now more than half of the officials in the court are on his side..."

Song Jingchen: "You are wrong. It's you, not us!"

Shangguan Yu was taken aback: "Achen, you..."

Song Jingchen said calmly: "What I thought before was to find out who framed Ah Han and my Song family to overturn the case.

But now that I think about it, what if the case is overturned, my father and grandfather will never survive.

In the end, it was the one who caused their deaths, so I won't save him. As for who is the emperor, I don't care. "

Shangguan Yu disagreed: "But he has no mercy on innocent people. If such a person sits in that position, how will the world be safe in the future? How will the people be safe?"

"That's also the world of your Shangguan family. What do the people of your Shangguan family have to do with me?"

These words were too cold-blooded. Shangguan Yu said with disappointment as if he had met Song Jingchen for the first time: "You have been blinded by hatred, you shouldn't be like this..."

"It's just that you have been reluctant to admit it. Our positions have been different from the beginning, haven't we?"

From the time the emperor attacked his family, he and the royal family were destined to be in opposition.

He will not give up revenge because of Shangguan Yu, a former friend, and Shangguan Yu is also impossible to watch him attack his father.

So Shangguan Yu came to talk to him about saving the emperor by whitewashing Taiping, and Song Jingchen just thought it was a bit ridiculous.

Shangguan Yu seemed to be on his mind, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "You're right, it's me who wants to be left."

He stood up and walked out, thinking of something for a while: "Forgot to say, I just came out of the palace, and the Queen Mother has returned to the palace."

...

After Shangguan Yu left for a while, Shen Yijia cautiously poked her head and came in: "Xianggong~"

Song Jingchen waved to her.

Shen Yijia squeezed in through the crack of the door and walked in front of Song Jingchen obediently into his arms.

Song Jingchen rubbed her head amusingly: "Did you hear that?"

Shen Yijia blinked, feeling a little guilty, she did eavesdrop.

Song Jingchen chuckled: "Actually, those are my real thoughts."

He really didn't care about the people of Daxia, and even wanted to see this Daxia, who had been guarded by his grandfather for a lifetime, fall apart, and even wanted Emperor Dog to experience the taste of dying in the hands of his own son...

But he couldn't do this, except for his grandfather's dying instructions, but also because he had someone to protect.

He didn't want the people he cared about to live in troubled times.

Shen Yijia reached out and patted him on the back: "That's my idea too."

She has no sense of belonging to Daxia, even if she does, it is because Song Jingchen is here, because Song Jingchen cares about her.

If Song Jingchen doesn't care anymore, then she still cares about shit~

Although Shen Yijia didn't say anything later, Song Jingchen understood it inexplicably.

The softness in his heart was stabbed again, Song Jingchen's heart rose, and his hands subconsciously tightened.

He lowered his head and looked at the person who was smiling like a flower in his arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "Jiajia..."

The two heads were getting closer, so close that they could feel each other's breath hitting their faces...

Suddenly, a loud roar from Sister Huan came from outside the door: "Brother, sister-in-law, it's time to eat~"

Shen Yijia: She forgot that she was here to invite the beautiful lady to dinner!
