One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]
Hong Ling wiped away her tears anxiously. "Sister Bai Yan, what should we do?"
The cyan sparrow normally spoke the least, and it usually spoke in order to protect Shen Ninghua. It tried its best to lower its presence to hide in the shadows, and it didn't have much interaction with Shen Ninghua. However, the person who was the most loyal to Shen Ninghua was the girl who didn't talk much.
Bai Xiao also knew this and stepped forward to support Shen Ninghua's arm. "Miss, you take the lead. I'll do it."
Shen Ninghua shook her head. "No need. You and Hong Ling go and prepare some hot water. We need it later."
As if it had heard the surrounding noise, the Cyan Sparrow struggled to open its eyes and saw Shen Ninghua beside it. Its eyes immediately lit up. It opened its mouth, wanting to say something, but no sound came out.
Shen Ninghua held her hand with a warm smile on his face. "Bluebird, conserve your energy. It might be very painful later on. Chen Yuan and I are just about to cure you of the poison."
"... Little … "Young mistress, the poison..."
"I know, don't worry. You will be fine. We will all be fine." Shen Ninghua smiled, but the light in her eyes was as cold as snow. Once he rescued the cyan sparrow, the debt would definitely be settled!
The Cyan Sparrow was anxious as it tried to push Shen Ninghua further away, but the poison had caused it to faint once more.
Shen Ninghua raised her head to look at Chen Jun and said, "Principal Chen, please."
"Princess, rest assured, I will do my best." Looking at the scene before him, Chen Jun was moved. Many people were envious of Shen Ninghua for having these four right-hand men by his side, but how could they have known that there was no such thing as loyalty in this world? The four female attendants were willing to sacrifice themselves for Shen Ninghua.
Bai Yan and Hong Ling paced back and forth anxiously. If the cyan sparrow was saved, then something would happen to the little mistress. The cyan sparrow's personality would probably be so bad that it would directly commit suicide to apologize.
Chu Junyi hurried over in a hurry.
Bai Yu hurried over. "Prince Consort, the cyan sparrow has been poisoned. The princess is inside …"
Chu Junyi frowned. "Why aren't you preparing the ingredients?" If we detoxify the poison earlier, then there will be less danger for congealed flower, and we need to go quickly! "
Chu Junyi entered the room to see Shen Ninghua helping the cyan sparrow with the sharp blade. Her heart tightened as she saw the wound on the bird's arm. In the end, she stepped forward and helped her lift the basin to make it easier for her to move.
Shen Ninghua was stunned. She turned to look at Chu Junyi with guilt in her eyes. She was risking both of their children. For her sake, she didn't care about his feelings …
Chu Junyi sighed and said icily, "Hurry up. Drink some pills when you're done!"
Shen Ninghua heaved a sigh of relief. A smile suddenly flashed across her eyes as she nodded her head and focused on detoxifying the Cyan Bird.
After about two hours, the two poisons were finally cured.
Chu Junyi held Shen Ninghua's pale face and said to Chen Jun, "Uncle Chen, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the last few matters. I'll take Ning Hua to rest."
"Alright, go quickly." Chen Jun nodded his head gently, his heart filled with admiration for Shen Ninghua. To be able to do all this for a maid, such a loyal woman was not a common sight in the world. It was just that she had acted a little rashly, but it didn't really matter much since the Snow Lotus Pellet would be ready in a few days.
After exiting the room, Chu Junyi bent down and lifted Shen Ninghua up before heading straight for the resting quarters of the Hua Jun Pavilion. Shen Ninghua wrapped her arms around his neck, buried her head in his chest and closed her eyes to rest.
Chu Junyi lowered her head to look at the smile on her face. A trace of a doting smile flashed across her face. She had been trying so hard to put on a brave front, but now that she knew the consequences, there was nothing she could do.
Shen Ninghua drank the Body Nourishment Medicinal Solution and took his pulse. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he heaved a sigh of relief. Chu Junyi sat on a stool by the bed, holding a book in her hands. She looked extremely serious, but the pages hadn't been opened for a long time.
Shen Ninghua leaned against the headboard of the bed and carefully raised her head to look at Chu Junyi. She bit her lip and said, "Jun Yi …"
Chu Junyi didn't respond.
Shen Ninghua tried calling him again, "Husband …"
Chu Junyi looked up helplessly, and her pitiful expression struck her right in the heart. She felt her heart go numb, and her words of reproach gradually disappeared. She sighed helplessly in her heart, then got up and walked over to her side and pulled her into her arms. "Alright, I won't say anything. Be careful. This time, we'll be lucky. But luck won't always be with us."
"Yes." Leaning against his chest, Shen Ninghua nodded her head with narrowed eyes. "I never thought that the Cyan Sparrow would be injured and that the poison was extremely strange, so I wasn't on guard. I was really careless this time. I'll make sure to prepare well in the future."
"It's good that you know."
Shen Ninghua moved her body, finding a more comfortable position to lean on. "I'm also very scared, and I'm also worried that I won't be able to protect the child in my stomach, but that little qilin has a really good heart. When I saved her, she swore to stay by my side and protect me for her whole life, that little girl doesn't talk much everyday, she only knows how to carefully protect me day by day, she doesn't care even if she's injured, it's as if she doesn't know the pain."
He sighed and continued, "Even though she and Bai Yu and the others said that they were my maids, but in reality, without them, I definitely wouldn't have been able to come out from the valley alive. I'm their savior, and they're also my saviors. As long as I have the ability, I won't let anything happen to any of them."
Chu Junyi's arm tightened. "I know, I understand. That's why I didn't stop you from saving her. I just hope that you can be more prepared in the future and not hurt yourself while saving her."
Shen Ninghua nodded her head and said, "Yes, I had originally planned to teach Bai Yu and the others my medical skills. It's a pity that they don't have talent for medicinal herbs, and even now, they only know how to identify the most concentrated medicinal herbs. It's difficult to learn their true essence, so I can only look for one more person."
"Mm, this is good as well. Do you have any goals?"
A figure flashed through Shen Ninghua's mind. He shook his head and said, "There is one, but we haven't found him yet."
"You haven't found him yet?" Chu Junyi was curious. Since they couldn't find him, how could she be sure that he wasn't a good candidate? This sounded extremely contradictory.
"She was a benefactor of mine, but I lost her. I haven't found her yet." Shen Ninghua thought of her maid in his previous life, Si Qin. That young girl was extremely intelligent and had the ability to never forget before. She was the one who bought her from a single person.
Thinking about the scene of the rainy night in her previous life, Shen Ling Han killed Si Qin along with the child in her stomach …
"Condensing Flowers!" Seeing Shen Ninghua's strange expression, Chu Junyi snapped at him.
The sound exploded beside his ears. Shen Ninghua suddenly recovered from her trance and said, "Yeah, I'm fine. I just recalled a few things from before." This candidate can be found slowly. If your subordinates are suitable, as long as they are loyal and reliable, they can also be sent to the Palace. "
After Shen Ninghua had fallen asleep, Chu Jun walked out of his room and called out to the air, "Shadow."
A ghostly figure suddenly appeared and knelt before Chu Junyi. "Mistress."
"Get someone to investigate the matter of the Princess at the Shen family. Investigate everything in detail, especially the valley where she fell with me. Investigate everything in detail. I want to know everything."
"Yes, Mistress."
"In addition, investigate the background of the cyan sparrow, Bai Yan, Hong Ling, and Bi Zhu. The main point is the matter of the cyan sparrow being injured."
"Yes." After the black shadow answered, it disappeared in a flash.
Chu Junyi's face was grave, and her dark eyes were filled with the darkness of the night. She had just expressed her gratitude to Hua Li for saving her life, and now that she had done so, her life was in danger. He loved Shen Ninghua and wanted to understand everything about her. Since she was unwilling to open her mouth at the moment, he could only find another way to get to know her.
When Shen Ninghua woke up again, the sky had already lit up.
Bai Yi came in to help her with her makeup.
"How is the Cyan Sparrow? Is it awake?"
"I, your servant, Hong Ling, and Bi Zhu spent the night alternating. Miss, please rest assured that the Cyan Sparrow has woken up in the middle of the night."
"Yes, I'll go take a look after I'm done."
Just as she finished speaking, Hong Ling ran over and angrily said, "Miss, the cyan sparrow is too stubborn. It is insistent on kowtowing to express its gratitude."
Shen Ninghua turned to look at the door, only to see Bi Zhu walking in while supporting the sparrow.
Noticing Shen Ninghua's gaze, the cyan sparrow pushed away Bi Zhu's arm, walked up to Shen Ninghua, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed deeply. "This humble servant thanks Master for saving my life. This humble servant almost harmed Master and Young Master, and I deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
Shen Ninghua frowned slightly. Looking at her pale face, he reprimanded her, "I just used all my strength to cure you of the poison, and yet you degrade your own body like this. Are you trying to make a fool of me?"
The cyan sparrow lowered its head with a very uneasy look on its face.
Hong Ling added oil to the fire, "Ever since she knew that Miss took the risk to cure her of the poison, she wanted to come and thank me. If it wasn't for me saying that Miss hadn't woken up, she would have come by midnight."
Bai Yan glared at Hong Ling. 'Didn't you, the big mouth, tell the cyan sparrow that Miss almost killed little mistress in order to cure her poison?' Was it really that big of a deal to watch the show?
Hong Ling curled her lips and silently stood on the side with her head down.
Shen Ninghua raised a hand to help the Cyan Bird up. "Alright, get up. Your body is still weak. The most important thing is to recuperate. Do you know who injured you?"
"I know, it's the empress's people."
Empress? Shen Ninghua was surprised. She had originally thought that it would be either Bu Jinglan or Bu Tinghe's men. She did not expect it to be the empress.
After the cyan sparrow finished speaking, it kneeled on the ground and said, "Miss, I have something to report."
Shen Ninghua knitted her brows. When she saw the Cyan Bird's expression, she suddenly felt something strange. "What did you remember?"
