Rong Xi's hand was also frozen cold by his hand, and she was about to withdraw it, but she accidentally touched Shen Ze'an's pulse.
This is not right...
She sat up, and before Shen Ze'an understood what she was going to do, Rong Xi had already gotten out of bed in her clothes and lit the candlestick.
"What are you going to do?"
Rong Xi didn't explain to him and directly took his hand. After seeing her intention, Shen Ze'an immediately put his hand behind his back.
This is his secret, and he would never let anyone know it so easily.
He couldn't understand why she suddenly became like this, and he had no idea that someone who grew up in the cold palace had medical skills. Even if he tried to learn it later, he only knew the basics.
There was no expression on Rong Xi's face. Judging from his expression, he knew that there was poison in his body.
However, it doesn't matter if she doesn't need to take the pulse, because her complete medical set is a systematic product.
Without Shen Ze'an's knowledge, he had already undergone a complete medical examination by Rong Xi.
"You've been poisoned." There was no doubt in his tone, confirming that he was poisoned.
"Um."
"What kind of poison?"
She still didn't know what kind of poison it was, as it wasn't covered in the complete medical literature. Since coming to this world, she had been studying mental power and hadn't had time to update the medical level of this world.
She originally thought that the worlds were similar and the medical level was at the same level, but she didn't expect that there were poisons she had never seen before.
Shen Zean didn't know what to say, so he just remained silent.
"When did you get poisoned?"
"uncertain."
"So when did you first discover that you had this poison in your body?"
"Eight years old."
Rong Xi couldn't believe it, and reached out again to pull out his hand from behind his back. His warm fingers rested on Shen Ze'an's pulse, like a pair of gentle shackles. Even if he could break free at will, he was still trapped there.
After taking his pulse, Rong Xi could more clearly sense that there was more than one poison in his body, and two of them were suppressing each other. Moreover, one of the poisons was very strange, so strange that Rong Xi found it unbelievable, but she could not prove it now, and it would take some time.
"Do you want to detoxify?"
Shen Ze'an suddenly opened his eyes wide, and asked with a rare excitement in his tone, "Do you have a way to detoxify?"
"I don't know, but maybe."
The candlelight was too dim, but Rong Xi could still see the hope in his eyes.
The two of them didn't talk, and Rong Xi didn't ask much. People like him have many secrets and hatred in their hearts. These things may, to some extent, be the motivation that keeps him alive.
However, Rong Xi still scolded the system, "System, why didn't you mention Shen Ze'an being poisoned in your plot introduction?"
The system was being unfair. It had told Rong Xi all the plot details, so how could there be these hidden details in between...
The system didn't dare to speak, and could only silently update Rong Xi with the complete medical set.
And after Shen Ze'an lay down, the scene of when he first entered the palace kept appearing in his mind.
When he was only eight years old, his parents sold him to a place like an animal. After changing hands several times, he was brought to the palace.
He was young and didn't understand much at that time. He only knew that the people who took care of him could keep him well fed and clothed.
But he was terrified when he saw people being castrated. Fortunately, he was smart and lucky. He happened to have caught a cold during those days and lived in the same room with another father-in-law.
He didn't know if asking the father-in-law for help would be of any use, but he was afraid. The only person who was nice to him was the father-in-law.
He still remembers that cold winter day when he knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
He said, "Eunuch, please save me. I don't want to be castrated. If you can save me, I will take care of you until the end of your life."
Once a man becomes a eunuch, he will never have children. Perhaps it was this sentence that touched the man, and he was fed a pill.
"I don't know if this medicine is still useful. You might die if you take it now, but it might also protect that thing of yours. It's up to you to decide."
Frightened, he picked up the medicine on the ground and swallowed it with great determination.
It hurt, it really hurt. At that time, he thought that the real experience of castration was just like this.
But within three days, his body had grown to be similar to those of the castrated children, and he passed the examination without any problem.
It was also because of the protection of the eunuch that his life in the palace became much better. With more experience, he also learned that the medicine was called "Sky Shield".
The person who took the pill was undoubtedly a eunuch, which was why he had not been discovered for so many years.
But the side effects of this medicine were severe. Every March, his internal energy would be exhausted and his body would be in excruciating pain from the inside out, which could only be suppressed with another poison.
He thought about removing the effect of the medicine, but the timing was wrong when he first had this idea. Later, there was a palace coup. Later, the father-in-law who could remove the poison was old and had forgotten many things. Sometimes he could not even recognize himself.
In the past two years, he has been looking for a doctor who can cure the poison, but he has been unable to find a cure no matter how many famous doctors he has consulted, not to mention the useless doctors in the palace.
Unexpectedly, the Ninth Princess he met by chance could actually cure the poison. He thought he was lucky after all.
Soon he heard Rong Xi's even breathing, and he knew that Rong Xi had fallen asleep. He leaned over very gently, and put his hands on Rong Xi's waist stiffly and unfamiliarly. He wanted to hug her but didn't know where to start.
Rong Xi was not soundly asleep, and woke up as soon as he moved. He found that Rong Xi actually wanted to hug him. His first thought was to turn around and slap him, but then he thought better of it. It would not be good if he really got angry in the middle of the night, so he just let him be.
The next day.
Rong Xi got up and didn't see Shen Ze'an, so she thought he had left. She was about to scold him for leaving without saying a word when she saw him walk in from the outer room.
"woke up."
"Why haven't you left yet? Are you not afraid that the emperor will punish you for entering the palace so casually?"
"No."
Rong Xi was pulled up, dressed, and then made to sit in front of the dressing table. Seeing him like this, Rong Xi guessed what he wanted to do, so she sat quietly.
She thought he would be clumsy and pull his hair, so she was ready. If it really hurt, she would blackmail him.
But his technique was very skillful and his movements were very gentle, without any uniformity, and Shu's hairline was very beautiful. It takes a lot of skill and patience to do this kind of hairstyle well.
"Nice comb, I didn't expect you to be so skilled."
"If you want to comb your hair well without hurting the master, the best way is to be punished. The more you are beaten, the more you will remember the lesson and will not dare to hurt the master anymore."
He was not the head of the Western Factory from the beginning. He has reached his current position step by step, and it is not entirely due to the help of the late emperor as others say.
Although they were selected as the late emperor's male concubines after entering the palace, the palace would not keep idle people. Instead, their identities would make people look down upon them and it would be more difficult for them to survive in the palace.
