[Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter] Seeing how the princess was acting, he thought that she had been infuriated. He racked his brains to think of a way to make her happy, but to no avail. He didn't have much contact with girls, so he really didn't know what they liked.
When the beautiful Nalan Yanran returned to the Star Plucking Pavilion, her expression was still relatively calm. After getting Lucky to study the ink, she sat down to write the prescription. She had spoken harshly to Cui Zhu just now, so she wasn't going to help them. Even though she said that, she still couldn't let it go. After all, it was life that mattered to the heavens, and it was also very likely that there would be one corpse and two lives.
She was a doctor, and although she was extremely angry at their actions, she could not treat human life like grass. Thinking about this made him angry. Shen Congfu was young, but he had a lot of thoughts. He hadn't been with her for long, but he was certain that she wouldn't stand idly by. Heaven knows if she was putting herself in danger today or not, and was forcing her to submit to him?
She finished writing the prescription and gave it to Ru Yi, asking the gatekeeper to go get the medicine. He thought for a while and felt that it wasn't appropriate. This was an ordinary formula to prevent pregnancy. If the person who grabbed the medicine asked too much, and the doctor just happened to say that Shen Congyi was pregnant, wouldn't she be able to hide it? She kept the prescription and said to Mu Li, "Go and get the medicine now. If anyone asks who used it, you must not answer." Don't stay outside any longer, and come back to me as soon as possible. "
When Mu Li returned from his medicine, the Na Lan embroidery once again thought of Cangwu Liao. Besides Cui Zhu, there wasn't a single servant. He could only allow Mascot to fry the medicine. While she was uncomfortable, she had to consider Shen from the start. The contradiction between her and Shen was that she had cut the flowers into a completely different shape.
Mu Li watched from the side and the corner of his eyes twitched, but he didn't dare to touch her bad luck again. He waited until the Nalan Yanran cut down the flower before he turned his head away. He really couldn't bear to look at her.
The Nalan Yanran looked at the flowers on the table and was lost in thought for a moment. What did she do just now? Why would she do that? It was a perfect pot of flowers, yet she wasn't recruited? She put down the scissors and ran to the kitchen to look at the good luck medicine.
The two little girls were very serious when it came to doing things. Each of them held a palm-leaf fan, and they took turns watching the fire. By the time the Nalan brocade was over, there were only three people standing in front of the stove. Lucky was the smartest. Seeing that no one else was around, he asked about the Nalan Yanran embroidery, meaning that he didn't want her to be involved in the Cangwu melody.
"A deed done by the heavens can be done, but it cannot be done by one's own will. Losing her chastity before marriage is already a great mistake, so you cannot help her."
"If you don't help her, are you not going to save her? Don't forget, I'm a doctor. "
Ru Yi was also unhappy. "What's wrong with the doctor? Didn't you already prescribe a prescription for her?" Don't tell me that you are going to take care of her after what she has done by herself. Don't forget, you are the princess of Zhenbei and should be grateful for her kindness by not revealing what she has done. "
The two of them laughed at the success of Nalan Yanran's embroidery. She realized that these two little girls were getting more and more familiar with the situation. In their hearts, they knew what was important and what was not. With such a person by her side, it would save her a lot of effort to constantly remind her of her mistakes.
However, it would still be difficult for her to not save him. This was also the fault of the doctor who brought her before. He had taught her the parents of doctors not only to save patients, but also to help those in need. While saving their bodies, he had also helped them through this crisis. Later on, when he met his master, he also said the same thing.
Therefore, she often had the misconception that a good doctor was bound to be a good man. As for her, she might be a good person among good people, a good person as the saying goes. It was said that someone would get a good reward, but she … He must have received a good reward! Why else would he come back to life?
Even after the medicine had been fried, Nalan Yanran's mind was still in a mess. She told Lucky to bring the medicine and follow her to Cangwu Liao, but Mu Li insisted on travelling with her. Nalan Yanran helplessly looked at him and said, "This was originally a matter between women, so it's inconvenient for a man like you to poke it there."
"I didn't do anything. I just wanted to protect the safety of the princess. Just treat it as if I didn't exist."
"You are a living person, how can I pretend that you don't exist?"
However, Mu Li was determined to follow her. Cangwu Liao's pair of master and servant wasn't simple. If they could kill him like that, then their thoughts must be quite vicious. He was worried about letting the princess go with an auspicious and powerless person.
Nalan Yanran admitted that she had no skills at all, and none of her servants were afraid of her. The auspicious thing was, Mu Li was even more so. The servants of other families were all obedient to their masters, and their families all had their own decisions. As long as they decided to do something, the eight horses would not be able to pull them back.
"Alright, then go with me!" "But this time, you just stand guard outside. If I don't call for you, you're not allowed to go in." In the end, the Nalan brocade still compromise. What can I do if I don't compromise? It wasn't good to be in a stalemate with him. Besides, he was doing it for her own good. She admired him for being so conscientious.
By the time the three of them arrived at Cangwu Diao, the sun had already set. The sky was a fiery red, but the room felt heavy and stuffy. Shen Congqing and Cui Zhu didn't even light a candle. They just sat there facing each other, thinking about something.
Lucky handed the medicine to Tsui Zhu, who took it and looked at Shen Congfu. If Shen Congqi didn't speak, she wouldn't dare to accompany her in taking medicine. When Nalan Jin saw how green bamboo looked like a frosted eggplant, she knew it must have been taught a lesson by her master. She took the medicine bowl and said to Cui Zhu: "Go light the candle."
Shen Congsheng looked at the Na Lan embroidery with an expressionless face. He had just woken up, but his face was still pale. It could even be said that his face was bloodless. Although Nalan Yanran blamed her in her heart, she still couldn't harden her heart when faced with her current appearance.
"The medicine has just been brewed and is still warm. We'll be cold if we wait any longer."
"I won't eat!" Shen turned his face away, his face sunk in the shadows so that one could not make out his expression.
"Do you sincerely want to make life difficult for yourself?"
"Of course not, but I don't have a better way. Since we will have to lose it sooner or later, there's no need for us to take the medicine now. "
The Na Lan embroidery told Lucky and Cui Zhu to withdraw. However, when Lucky boss was unwilling, he remembered that Guard Mu was still guarding outside the door. He was a martial arts practitioner, his hearing was sharp and clear. Thus, only Nalan brocade and Shen Zedong left in the room.
"I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm sure you're the father who's very fond of this child."
"Yes, I like him a lot."
"Then don't you want to give birth to the child?"
"Yes." Shen's eyes filled with tears. "But what can we do about it?" she said in a choked voice. Do I have to die for this child? If I died, it would become an orphan. Who in this world could protect her? Isn't it going to be bullied if it lives? "
"You haven't even given birth to it yet, how can you be so sure that he will become an orphan after he is born?"
"I know my own situation. His Majesty had bestowed the marriage on him, which was related to the relationship between the Shen and Zhenbei Duke Palaces. It wouldn't even be an exaggeration to say that they were relatives. For such a thing to happen to me, King Zhenbei will not let me go, and the Shen family will not keep me again. "
Nalan Jin let out a soft sigh and slowly said: "My father wasn't willing to marry him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been here for such a long time."
"You mean …"
"As long as we don't reveal anything, you are the Northern Princess, and it is the child of the Northern Prince's estate."
Shen Congjun's gray eyes suddenly lit up. She tightly held Nalan Yanran's hand, very hard. There were traces of hoarseness in her voice as she asked, "Can I?"
Shen Congfu didn't quite believe Nalan Mingxiu even though she heard her say so. No matter how magnanimous and tolerant Zhenbei Wang was, no matter how much he disliked her, he could not erase the relationship between them as husband and wife. Was there any man in the world who could accept the fact that his wife had lost her virginity before her marriage and that she was pregnant? Who else would be willing to raise a child who had brought him humiliation?
Nalan Yanran's embroidery was also uncertain, but she was also a bit confident. The King of the North loved his soldiers like sons. He held great prestige in the army. Everyone in the Xu army respected him. Xu Jintan valued his soldiers even more. Otherwise, how could Mu Li, with his cold personality, be obedient to him?
The most important reason was that the Northern King never had any plans to renew the string. His feelings towards the late wangfei were deep and profound. He definitely didn't want other girls to occupy the position of dead wives. If Shen was able to lay his cards on the table and occupy the title of 'consort' without needing the actual status of husband and wife, perhaps the Northern King wouldn't mind raising another idle person in the mansion.
"Let's give it a try!" As soon as Nalan Yanran finished her sentence, she put the bottle of medicine next to Shen Caiqing's mouth. This time, she didn't reject it and quickly finished it.
"Then what should I tell him?"
"When my dad comes back, you can tell him the truth. Don't hide anything anymore."
"What if he doesn't accept it?"
"Can there be anything worse than this?"
Shen Congji was startled by her question, and it was true. She was in a very bad situation. Even if she went out and got a doctor to prescribe a pregnancy pill, it would still leak out. She could not just kill everyone in the Star Seizer Pavilion. After all, this was not realistic. Right now, she could only trust in Nalan Yanran's embroidery once, and she could only do it for herself. What if she succeeded?
"I will speak with His Royal Highness. I beg him to give us a chance to live."
Nalan Yanran felt that she had said everything she could. She had already taken care of a lot of foreign affairs today, so she needed to go back and reflect on it. Did she do the right thing? As the saying goes, saving a person's life is better than making a seven-layered pagoda, but in the end, he still slapped the face of the Northern Duke's Mansion, hoping that Shen Congqing would be able to do things alone and not involve her in it. She softly said: "You take good care of it, I'll get someone to bring the medicine over to you tomorrow."
