System: [Why is Shangguan Zhu here? ]
【Don’t come over here! Don’t come over here! 】
[Host, wake up! ! ]
[Someone wants to kill...eh?]
The system's voice paused.
Shangguan Zhu picked up the hoe that had fallen from the ridge of the field, swung it up, and then down, turning over the hard soil...
An hour later, Zhao Yao was dug out.
Shangguan Zhu held his breath, endured the stench emanating from Zhao Yao, picked her up on his back and carried her down the mountain.
He threw her into a carriage at the foot of the mountain and took her to one of his villas in the capital, where he asked a doctor to treat her.
Zhao Yao's vertebrae below the lumbar spine were broken. Although he survived, he had to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
The doctor prescribed some medicine and was then sent away by Shangguan Zhu.
The system was suspended in the void, secretly sighing, this is the power of the River Map and Luo Shu, no one can shake the plot, so what if Heng Yue is a little devil?
She's afraid she can't save herself.
The system breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that as long as they all followed the plot, everything would be successful.
As for that little devil... he is nothing to be afraid of!
Shangguan Zhu ordered someone to take good care of Zhao Yao, and then left the villa.
He also sent someone to Master Wufa to bring Zhao Ziyin back and sent him to Zhao Yao's villa, waiting for the opportunity.
He entered the palace and conveyed Shangguan Qingyue's words to Zhao Ying.
It wasn't important at all, but he came here in person just to take a look at her.
When Zhao Ying heard Shangguan Zhu's retelling, her eyes softened. She could imagine the little guy's expression and movements when he said this, which must have been extremely cute.
She missed her too.
Although it had only been a few days, how could she feel at ease when she thought of her babies living in the wilderness!
But...it was a rare opportunity to torture Shangguan Shu, and she was reluctant to give up.
Well, wait a few days.
She endured it a little longer.
After coming out of the Hall of Brightness, Shangguan Zhu suddenly felt an itch all over his body, as if he was being bitten by thousands of ants, an itch that pierced his heart.
Shangguan Zhu took a breath, suppressed the urge to scratch, took a few quick steps, left the range of the Hall of Light, hid in a corner, and then he dared to reach out and scratch.
But as soon as I tried to scratch it, the itch stopped.
Huh——
Shangguan Zhu was puzzled for a long time. Could it be that Zhao Yao had lice on her body because she had just carried him on her back?
Shangguan Zhu felt nauseous and hurried back home to take a shower and change clothes.
As soon as he entered the Duke's Mansion, he saw the old Duke. The old Duke looked a little solemn. He asked him a few questions about Shangguan Shu's situation. After learning that the child had been sent there safely, the old Duke didn't say anything else. He just inexplicably told him to be careful of water leaks and fires.
Shangguan Zhu was completely confused, but he didn't know what to say about his father's concern, so he just nodded in agreement and hurried back to his room to take a shower.
The old Duke looked at Shangguan Zhu's hurried figure, and the wrinkles between his brows became more and more.
Sad.
It’s not that he is making things difficult for himself, but... the master’s prediction is too accurate.
The prophecy about Tan Zhi was about a sunset. On that day, the pig demon abducted Tan Zhi, and the clouds in the sky were indeed redder than usual. As a result, Tan Zhi committed suicide when he came back.
Prophecy Runzhi - Fire.
Yesterday, the Tibetan hostage named Jiang Cheng was originally arranged by Your Majesty to live in Runzhi's courtyard. Runzhi was driven out of the house by him, and the hostage was also confined by Your Majesty. However, confinement could not stop him from making trouble. He set his own house on fire in the middle of the night. Fortunately, no one was burned.
Oh right, shouldn’t this come true?
There is only fire, but no burning.
Runzhi's prediction also came true.
Only Tingzhi's is left.
Fire...
He guessed that the most terrifying thing was to be burned to death.
No, he needs to put some more auspicious pots in Tingzhi's yard and then inform the fire brigade to save Tingzhi's life!
…
Shangguan Zhu returned to the main room. As soon as he entered the room, Shen panicked and stuffed the things in her hands into the quilt behind her. Shangguan Zhu's face froze.
Shen's face turned pale, and her voice trembled slightly, "You...what are you..."
"What are you hiding?!"
Shangguan Zhu's face was gloomy. He strode over and pushed Shen away. Then he put his hand into the quilt. It was too late for Shen to stop him. "Don't..."
The next second, Shangguan Zhu looked at the bellyband with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water in his hand, feeling a little embarrassed. To cover up, he asked, "It's just a small underwear, what are you hiding?"
Shen frowned.
"I...want to give Erlang a surprise."
"Um."
Shangguan Zhu showed no emotion after hearing this. He just responded faintly and handed the bellyband to Shen. Shen took it, turned around and put it in the cabinet.
Then, Shangguan Zhu ordered water for bathing, and Shen went to the outer room.
The slightly hot water rolled over my whole body, and I felt much more comfortable and relaxed.
Shangguan Zhu thought to himself, it must be Zhao Yao who passed the lice to him, what bad luck!
As a result, the feeling of relief did not last long. At night, Shangguan Zhu developed a fever.
His body was burning hot and he was unconscious.
Shen, who was standing by, quickly got out of bed and called the court doctor to treat the patient.
The court doctor took the patient's pulse and was horrified.
Shen was surprised, "What's wrong with the Second Master?"
The court doctor frowned deeply, and after a long while, he finally uttered three words, "Venereal disease."
Shen: !!
After sealing the court doctor's mouth, Shen looked at the unconscious Shangguan Zhu with a hint of disgust in her eyes.
Stinky men are so dirty!
The next day, Shangguan Zhu took the medicine and woke up. When he learned the bad news, it was like a bolt from the blue and he couldn't recover for a long time.
How did he get this disease?
He had never been to any brothel and had no contact with those women, so how could he have contracted this disease?
He asked Shen in confusion, and Shen was also puzzled when she heard it. After thinking about it, they both thought of the concubines in the backyard!
Shangguan Zhu had two concubines. One was brought in by a maid before his marriage and had a clean family background. The other was given to him by a colleague and looked a bit like Zhao Ying. Shangguan Zhu doted on her.
Is the root of the problem with them?
Shangguan Zhu secretly sent someone to treat the two concubines, but they were not sick...
Then the only one left is Shen, but Shen is the daughter of an official, how could she have such a serious disease?
Shangguan Zhu had no doubt about Shen. He thought carefully about how he got infected. Thinking about it was one thing, but the most important thing was to cure it!
This disease is not good to be publicized.
We can't even ask the imperial physician to come. If the imperial physician knows, there's no guarantee that the palace won't know.
Shangguan Zhu asked several of his confidants to look for prescriptions for treating the disease among the people.
The confidants brought back news one after another, and there really was someone who worked, known as a syphilis expert, who could easily cure the early symptoms like his.
It's just that this doctor is arrogant and requires patients to come to him in person for treatment. He will not visit patients at their homes.
And the place he lived in was particularly unethical. Downstairs was a brothel, and upstairs was a clinic. Their main focus was early detection and early treatment, with no middlemen taking the difference...
How can you still have dignity when you have this disease?
Shangguan Zhu felt that he had lost all his face for half his life.
However, it is even more shameful if it is not treated.
So at night, Shangguan Zhu disguised himself and went to treat the disease.
