CH 19

Shen Zhonghua’s look was complex. He seemed to be thinking, but he didn’t ask anymore.

That day, Shen Zhonghua didn’t embarrass Shen Qi but he gave her two bottles of medicine.

The servant girls cleaned up the study and Shen Qi was still with Shen Zhonghua. Why did Shen Zhonghua suddenly ask her that? She couldn’t figure it out. However, when the two bottles of medicine were presented, Shen Zhonghua slowly opened his mouth and said to Shen Qi: “These medicines are for you. You......”

“Finally came......” Shen Qi clearly misunderstood the meaning of Shen Zhonghua. She thought to herself. It was best to come so as not to always worry in her heart.

One of the bottles was a white porcelain bottle. Shen Qi opened to take a look inside and saw it contained thick brown liquid. Shen Qi thought this was the child prevention medicine, so she raised her head, intending to drink it.

“Qiqi!” Shen Zhonghua’s voice was anxious. He reached out and stopped Shen Qi in time.

Shen Qi lowered her eyes. She was stopped by Shen Zhonghua and didn’t make further movements. She was a person that died and she obeyed everything.

Shen Zhonghua sighed gently and took the medicine bottle from Shen Qi’s little hand: “This is the medicine for your knees. It can only be applied externally, not taken internally.”

He was explaining to her and was also concerned about her injuries.

“Thanks Wangye for your concern, but the slave’s knees aren’t a big deal.” Shen Qi said in a panic. Although the time she spent kneeling in Su Lianxue’s Xi Courtyard wasn’t as long as she had in her previous life due to Shen Zhonghua’s unexpected arrival. But the knees themselves were fragile so kneeling on the uneven cobblestone ground and it was still raining, Shen Qi’s knees were indeed a little painful up to now.

In fact, that day Shen Zhonghua also called a doctor to see her. The doctor also prescribed medicine. Even the servant girl prepared the medicine for her.

It was just......

Presumably, Shen Zhonghua did this because he already knew that none of the medicines prescribed by the doctor before were used by Shen Qi?

Those medicines were all dumped by Shen Qi into the bonsai by the bedside. Shen Qi didn’t drink it and didn’t dare to use any. Who knew what medicine Shen Zhonghua gave her?

In the previous life, Su Lianxue was poisoned and Shen Zhonghua had her test the medicine for Su Lianxue. No, it wasn’t just the previous life. It happened in this life as well.

It was just six months ago. Su Lianxue was poisoned by the Seven Insects and Seven Flowers. To detoxify that poison, one needed to know the seven kinds of poisonous insects and poisonous flowers, as well as the order and quantity used to blend. Everything couldn’t have the slightest deviation. Shen Zhonghua was worried about Su Lianxue’s safety so he let Shen Qi drink the remaining poison. He let her get the same poison as Su Lianxue and then let Divine Doctor Hua first use her to test the medicine.

(tenderflower: a real bastard... don’t forgive him Qiqi!!)

For a whole month, Shen Qi suffered from death several times but she was saved by Divine Doctor Hua. Saved and then continued to test medicine. Her life was better than death.

If she died at that time it would be better. After she got better, he let her replace Su Lianxue’s marriage to marry far away and personally handed her a cup of poisonous wine.

Shen Qi had been with Shen Zhonghua for fifteen years. For how many times had she escaped from death? How many times had she been poisoned and life was hanging by a thread? But she was willing to do so and rushed like ducks.

Only lastly......

Shen Qi’s hand clutched her belly unconsciously. A drop of tears slipped from Shen Qi’s eyes and fell to the ground.

Shen Qi cried because she fell into memories and tears came out unconsciously. She woke up all of a sudden and opened her eyes, trying to suppress her emotions. She forced the tears back and dried the remaining tears in her eyes. She couldn’t cry, let alone let Shen Zhonghua see her cry.

Shen Qi thought Shen Zhonghua shouldn’t have noticed the tears she shed because she suddenly heard Shen Zhonghua’s voice saying: “The medicine in this small box...... is also external...... after bathing......”

Shen Zhonghua’s voice was hoarse but not because the words he said next were too shameful to say.

Shen Zhonghua said to Shen Qi: “After dipping the medicine with your finger, stretch it into the hole and apply it.”
