"You can't drink it even if you want to; this isn't for you."
Liang Heng chuckled softly, lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes concealing his emotions, and poured two full cups of peach blossom wine.
Shen Jiao was taken aback, and the name Cen Yi suddenly popped into her mind.
The palace servants had all withdrawn, and the vast hall fell into an eerie silence. The candlelight flickered gracefully, and the wick popped open with a "pop," reflecting in the lonely eyes beneath the smiling face of the handsome young man.
Liang Heng placed the folding fan on the table and pushed it in front of her.
"Aren't you just curious? Well, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll tell you."
Whether it was to satisfy her curiosity or because she was feeling stifled and desperately needed someone to listen, Shen Jiao didn't expose her.
She nodded. "Okay."
Liang Heng downed his drink in one gulp: "Did you know that I used to have a fiancée?"
“Cen Yi”.
"You actually knew?"
Shen Jiao didn't speak, staring at the tea leaves swirling in the teacup, the small vortex spinning endlessly.
“Yes, His Majesty must have told you.” Liang Heng poured another cup.
"Then you should know that she is dead."
"Did he die of illness?" Shen Jiao asked.
Liang Heng shook his head: "He committed suicide by poison."
After the Cen family fell into ruin, Cen E, the only surviving descendant of the Cen family, was imprisoned in a nunnery for life, and her relationship with Liang Heng came to an end.
Several years have passed since the Cen family's incident, so why would Cen Yi, who was perfectly healthy, commit suicide by poisoning himself?
Shen Jiao was shocked and before she could think, she heard Liang Heng's gentle and refined voice slowly ring out, "I gave her the poison."
"Sister Shen." He called softly to Shen Jiao, but his gaze passed over her and fell into the distance.
Looking up, one can see a full moon, but in the distance, only a majestic palace stands solemn and imposing.
Shen Jiao replied softly, "I'm here."
"She died in my arms; I killed her with my own hands."
Liang Heng wanted to laugh, his usually charming peach blossom eyes curving into crescents, but unexpectedly, his eyes reddened.
"In the end..."
"She wouldn't even hold my hand again."
...
The Liang family, a prominent family of physicians, held a dominant position in the medical field. With his superb acupuncture skills, the patriarch of the Liang family became a renowned figure in the medical community.
Therefore, countless people from all over the world came to learn from him. If we were to say which student Master Liang liked the most, it would be his eldest grandson, Liang Heng.
Liang Heng has displayed astonishing medical talent since he can remember. Everyone who knows him praises him highly and admits that he is inferior to him.
"Liang Heng, a new actress has arrived at Lichun Garden. I heard she's incredibly beautiful, with a pair of large, watery eyes that can steal your soul with just a blink. Let's go see her!"
Several heads peeked out from the garden wall; they were mostly young men who had just turned eighteen and were always particularly interested in pretty girls.
Liang Heng turned his back: "I'm not going."
"Fair skin, beautiful face, long legs, curvy figure, and a slender waist—you won't find this opportunity again! Are you really not going?"
"No way, it's too vulgar!"
"You're so boring! You're always reading that tattered book. Do you think you'll marry a book to warm your bed?" the young man joked.
Liang Heng calmly turned a page of the medical book: "Why not?"
"You're hopeless!"
"Are you done? If you are, then hurry up and leave. Don't disturb me while I'm reciting my lessons." Liang Heng looked up and gave him a ruthless order to leave.
"you!"
He had come with good intentions to invite him, but was met with a cold shoulder, which immediately made the young man's face turn sour.
"Alright, alright, harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth. Why are you angry with him? We grew up together, you know what kind of person Liang Heng is," another boy in blue advised.
The young man choked.
Everyone in the entire royal city knows that the eldest grandson of the Liang family is a rigid and reserved person who spends all his days reading nothing but medical books. As for listening to music, playing games, and visiting brothels, he has always disdained associating with such people!
My friend has developed this kind of temper. As a young man, I'm angry but there's nothing I can do. I can't exactly beat him up, can I?
What happens after you beat them up?
So, should I just keep studying?
It makes me so angry just thinking about it.
Life is short, only a few decades. What joy is there in reading every day?
Seeing that the young man had calmed down, the boy in blue turned to Liang Heng and smiled as he took his leave.
"You can continue reading. We're going to play first, and I'll tell you the funny stories when we get back."
Liang Heng wasn't interested in the interesting stories about brothels, but seeing his friend's displeasure, he still gave a perfunctory "hmm".
Young men came in groups and left in groups, leaving behind only a jumble of footprints on the garden wall.
Liang Heng shook his head and continued reading, a leaf falling onto the yellowed pages.
I reached out and brushed it away, but another petal fell.
Brush it away again, and another leaf will fall.
Liang Heng finally realized something was wrong. He looked up and saw a pair of smiling eyes winking at him mischievously.
He frowned: "Why are you here again? What kind of behavior is it for a girl to keep running into the bachelor's courtyard? Go back!"
"I thought of you, so I came to see you. What's wrong?" Cen Yi was still clutching a few leaves that he hadn't had time to throw away.
"Furthermore, we are engaged. Anyone who dares to talk nonsense will be beaten up. Let's see if their words are tougher or my fists are tougher!"
Liang Heng's face darkened: "A gentleman uses words, not fists. How barbaric!"
"Lewd, that's just barbaric."
"Get down!"
"It won't go down."
"Is it going to rain or not! If it doesn't rain soon, I'll send someone to fetch Uncle Cen." Liang Heng said with a dark face, brushing the leaves off his head.
Cen Yi got annoyed: "Liang Heng, are you a three-year-old? You're always whining to your parents."
Liang Heng said seriously, "You've seriously disturbed my reading."
