Chapter 21 Another Apprentice
Xiao Yuanqi did not doubt what Xiao Jinyi said. He knew that since Xiao Jinyi dared to say it, he would definitely do it. The two brothers never gave in to each other, but always cared about each other.
"I know, but how can I bear to let you go through fire and water?"
Just when the two brothers were pouring their hearts out to each other, the imperial physician arrived. Xiao Jinyi thought that he was not seriously ill and wanted to send the physician away, but Xiao Yuanqi stopped him with his hand.
"Don't worry, the imperial physician is here anyway, why not let him take our pulses before he goes back? We can't let him make a wasted trip, right?"
So the two brothers asked Doctor Feng to take their pulse. The two brothers were in good health, but Xiao Jinyi was a little uneasy.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness Prince Jing are both in good health, but Prince Jing is a little uneasy. Do you need me to prescribe some tranquilizing soup for him?"
Doctor Feng put away the pulse pillow on the table, bent down and asked Xiao Jinyi. If it were another master, he might have directly prescribed a tranquilizing soup, but Xiao Jinyi did not dare to act on his own.
Xiao Jinyi heard this and waved his hand and said, "No need, I've adjusted myself, I don't need to take medicine."
Imperial Doctor Feng nodded, said goodbye to the Crown Prince and Prince Jing, and then carried his medicine box back to the Imperial Hospital.
Xiao Jinyi could finally put down the huge rock hanging in his heart, while Shen Shixu was a little troubled by his eldest brother. After so many years of brotherly life, he could tell at a glance that Shen Zexi had something to say to him, but he couldn't say it.
Shen Zexi really wanted to tell everyone that he and Xiao Jinyi could hear Shen Shixu's inner thoughts, but his mouth was like it was covered with glue and he couldn't open it.
He was so anxious that he was about to smoke. Seeing how uncomfortable he was, Shen Shixu advised him, "Brother, if you really can't say it, you don't have to say it. Anyway, as long as it doesn't affect your life, it's a small matter."
Seeing that he couldn't say anything, Shen Zexi was about to give up, but Shen Shixu's words only accelerated his giving up.
After giving up, he thought back to the expressions of Xiao Jinyi and Duke Anguo. They both looked calm, as if they had expected this.
It seems that I have heard it before, or heard someone else mention it.
From this point of view, it should not be just the three of them who could hear it. There should be many other people who could hear it, most likely those people in the court, and even the emperor should have heard it.
So many people heard it, and his brother was fine, so his life would not be in danger. Just like his brother said, as long as it is not life-threatening, it is no big deal.
Then he wouldn't have to worry too much, and judging from the gloomy expression on Duke Anguo's face before he left, his brother's thoughts were most likely true.
This made Shen Zexi, who liked to listen to family gossip, very envious. He could know a lot of interesting things just by sitting at home without asking others. He didn't know if 011 had other brothers and sisters. Could he have one too?
Shen Shixu was about to go back to the Dali Temple to continue his duty when the door of the courtyard was knocked again. Xiao Shitou hurried over to open the door. As soon as the door opened, he saw a young man in a dark blue plain brocade robe standing outside the door carrying large and small bags.
"Sir, who are you looking for?"
Jiang Bin was holding the apprenticeship gift that he and the princess had found. After finding out where Shen Shixu lived, he couldn't wait to come. At this time, he saw the servant who came to open the door was replaced by the previously unruly young master Jiang.
He would never give Xiao Shitou a good face, and would only angrily tell his master to come out quickly. But today he came to ask for a favor. In addition, he really wanted to reform himself and get rid of the title of a playboy and become a good boy who was making progress every day.
So he said in a very friendly manner: "Excuse me, young man, is this the residence of Lord Shen, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple?"
Little Stone saw that he was holding something and was looking for his young master. Thinking of what happened before, he asked directly, "Are you here to become his disciple as well?"
Jiang Bin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he understood what was going on. Before he came, someone else had also come to become a disciple. "I'm here to become a disciple. I wonder if Lord Shen is here?"
Little Shitou just slipped up his tongue. He didn't expect that the elegantly dressed young man in front of him really wanted to become his disciple. He quickly shouted to the room, "Master, there's another one coming to become his disciple. Come out and take a look!"
When Shen Shixu heard Xiao Shitou shouting, he hurried out of the house. Shen Zexi also ran out, very curious, who came here to become his disciple?
Shen Shixu frowned when he saw Jiang Bin carrying the gift, wondering if this man had a problem with his brain. He had just sent his father to jail in the morning, and he came to become his disciple at noon.
"You want to take me as your master?" Shen Shixu pointed at himself and said in surprise: "Have you forgotten that I just sent your father to jail this morning? It won't be long before he will be sent to the guillotine. So I am also your father's murderer, but you said you want to take me as your master? Is there something wrong with my ears or are you crazy?"
Shen Zexi didn't expect that the person who came to become his disciple had such a connection with his brother. Now, not to mention Shen Shixu's suspicion of Jiang Bin's real purpose of becoming his disciple, he also began to doubt it.
Jiang Bin also knew that what he did was very suspicious. He put the gift in his hand on the ground, clenched his fists, bowed to Shen Shixu and said, "I know you suspect me and think I want to stay with you for revenge. But in fact, my mother and I have no resentment towards you. On the contrary, we are both grateful to you.
If you hadn't exposed Jiang Xingbang's true face this time, I don't know how my son and I would have been harmed by him in the future. This time he wanted me to take the blame for him, but next time he might turn his evil intentions against my mother. By sending him in jail you can be said to have indirectly saved us, mother and son. Of course we can't hate you.
As for becoming a disciple, this was my own idea. I had always relied on my mother and Jiang Xingbang. Now that Jiang Xingbang is gone, I can't always rely on my mother.
And I want to be my mother's supporter. After much thought, you are the only one in the whole court who can teach me.
First, I admire you, and second, your ability to solve cases is very strong. Even if I only learn four or five points, it will be enough for me.
So, please, Lord Shen, please accept me as your disciple. ”
Shen Shixu saw that he seemed to be really sincere, but he also wanted to test him again, so he threw him a question.
"You can let me take you in, but you can only be my second disciple. You have a senior brother who is just five years old. Are you willing to do this?"
