Chapter 71 His Highness is worried about her

She was still afraid, holding Shen Chuwei's hand tightly, and whispered: "My lady, it's a good thing you left in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Shen Chuwei said nothing, nor was she afraid, because no matter how crazy the dog was, it would not attack her.

As for why Shen Mingzhu and Shen Tingfeng were attacked by the black dog, it was because the black dog smelled the scent of Shen Chuwei and naturally regarded her as its master.

Shen Mingzhu and Shen Tingfeng became strangers. The dog was naturally prone to biting people, so it would be easily attacked if a stranger approached it, let alone being whipped?

It would be strange if it didn’t bite you!

Inside the house, the doctor took a long time to treat the wounds of the two patients.

But the patients were in a bad mood. One was crying, and the other was looking at his right hand sadly.

Mrs. Shen raised her handkerchief and wiped her tears. "Doctor, is my son's hand okay?"

The doctor replied: "Mrs. Shen, it's hard to say. The wound on the wrist is too deep. It hurts the tibia. You need to rest more."

When Mrs. Shen heard this, tears started to flow down her cheeks again. "Master, what should we do?"

Shen Haisheng looked at his son's hand with a worried look on his face. How could he know what to do?

"Why raise a good dog? Now look what happened!" Shen Haisheng sighed and looked at Shen Mingzhu. Now his leg was injured, and he couldn't compete for favors in a short time. It was really a double whammy.

When Shen Haisheng and Mrs. Shen noticed Shen Chuwei standing nearby, the former saw hope, while the latter gnashed her teeth in hatred.

Shen Haisheng asked with concern: "Wei'er, are you not scared?"

Shen Chuwei said: "Father, I'm far away and won't be a problem."

"That's good, that's good." Shen Haisheng placed his hopes on his youngest daughter. As long as she was favored and became the Crown Princess, the Shen family would have hope.

Mrs. Shen saw through Shen Haisheng's thoughts at a glance. How could Shen Chuwei, a concubine's daughter, be compared with her daughter?

Because Shen Mingzhu was injured and delayed her return to the palace, she could only stay in the Shen Mansion for one night.

At this time, in the East Palace

After Xiao Jinyan finished his work, he found that it was already dark. He thought Shen Chuwei should be back by now, "Liu Xi, get ready to go to Xiyun Pavilion."

Liu Xi stepped forward and reported: "Your Highness, Shen Liangdi has not returned to the palace yet."

Xiao Jinyan asked in confusion: "It's already dusk, why haven't you returned to the palace yet?"

"Your Highness, Little Rabbit sent a message saying that Shen Liangyuan was bitten by a dog and was delayed in returning to the palace. She can only return tomorrow." Liu Xi said.

As soon as Xiao Jinyan heard it, he knew that the matter was not that simple. It was impossible that Shen Liangyuan was bitten by a dog for no reason.

He frowned and paced back and forth in the study.

Liu Xi watched his master walking back and forth, and thought, Shen Liangdi just went back to her parents' home, but His Highness was so worried and concerned about her. It seemed that he really liked Shen Liangdi.

When Xiao Jinyan heard what Liu Xi said in his heart, he paused and snorted coldly, "I'm just afraid that Shen Mingzhu is too scheming, and that foodie Shen Chuwei will suffer the consequences."

If he had half the scheming of Shen Mingzhu, he wouldn't have to worry so much.

If Eunuch Liu had the ability to read minds, he would definitely say that, after all, the master is still worried about Concubine Shen Chuliang.

Xiao Jinyan looked at the time and realized it was too late to send someone out of the palace to pick up Shen Chuwei.

At this time, the eunuch outside the door came in and reported: "Your Highness, Lord Lu is here."

Xiao Jinyan: "Let him in."

"Yes." After the young eunuch left, Lord Lu came in and greeted him.

"Your humble servant greets His Highness."

Xiao Jinyan was already sitting on the chair, looking up at Lu Zhaoyan in front of him, "Is there something important that brought you here at this time?"

Lu Zhaoyan said, "Your Highness, today the Queen asked me to go over and ask about the matter of appointing the Crown Princess."

Previously, the matter of appointing a Crown Princess was delayed because of Lu Zhaoyan's fortune-telling.

After hearing what her son said that day, the Queen thought of appointing a Crown Princess.

Now, more than half a year had passed, and the Queen called Lu Zhaoyan over to question him.

Xiao Jinyan frowned when he heard this. He understood his mother's thoughts. She just wanted to make Chang Liangdi the Crown Princess.

"How did you answer?"

Lu Zhaoyan: "Your Highness, I have not yet told the Queen the result. I will go back to look at the stars and calculate. I will tell the Queen the result tomorrow."

Xiao Jinyan: "Tell the Queen that it is not appropriate to appoint a Crown Princess now."

Lu Zhaoyan: "Your Highness, this excuse cannot be used a second time after it has been used once."

Xiao Jinyan paused when he heard this, and simply threw the hot potato directly to Lu Zhaoyan, "You are the director of Qintian Prison, this matter is not difficult for you, think of another reason."

Lu Zhaoyan was a little upset. It was you who wanted to appoint the Crown Princess, not me! Facing the Emperor and Empress, he was under a lot of pressure!

He sighed, being the warden of Qintian Prison was not that easy.

Lu Zhaoyan suddenly remembered something, "Your Highness, I heard that Shen Fengyi risked his life to save me during the autumn hunting competition. Is that true?"

Xiao Jinyan corrected her, "She is already a concubine."

Lu Zhaoyan was stunned for a moment. This promotion speed was too fast.

Xiao Jinyan added: "She did risk her life to save me, and she almost lost her life because of it."

Lu Zhaoyan was a little surprised. He had met Shen Liangdi twice before and knew at first glance that she was a delicate and weak girl. She actually had the courage to block the arrow for Xiao Jinyan, so it was no surprise that she was promoted to Liangdi.

Shen Chuwei lay on the couch, but always felt that it was not as comfortable as the couch in Xiyun Pavilion.

Chunxi walked in with small steps and saw her master lying on the couch. She was no longer surprised.

"My lady, someone has brought some cakes."

When Shen Chuwei heard that there were cakes, she sat up on the couch and looked at Chunxi expectantly, "Where is it?"

The maid came in with two plates of cakes and bowed to Shen Chuwei: "Shen Liangdi, these are the mung bean cakes and osmanthus cakes that Madam prepared specially for you."

When Shen Chuwei heard about mung bean cake, she felt a little greedy, "Thank you for your trouble, mother."

The maid placed two plates of snacks on the low table and left.

Shen Chuwei picked up a piece of mung bean cake and put it in her mouth and took a bite. It was a little sweet, but she didn't get tired of it.

Seeing Shen Chuwei eating so happily, Chunxi also picked up a piece of mung bean cake and put it in his mouth and took a bite. It was indeed delicious.

If other people saw this scene, they would definitely think that Chunxi was unruly.

However, this scene was very common in Xiyun Pavilion, and Shen Chuwei tacitly approved of it.

“It tastes good, but a little too sweet.”

Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement, "Great minds think alike."

Chunxi ate a piece and went out to prepare hot water.

When Chunxi came back, the plate was empty and all the pastries had gone into Shen Chuwei's stomach.

She sighed, not worrying about the discomfort caused by the food.

Next day

Chunxi came in to help Shen Chuwei get up, and was shocked when she saw Shen Chuwei's face.

"My dear, wake up, wake up!"

Shen Chuwei reached out and touched his face in confusion, "What's wrong with my face?"

Chunxi hurriedly brought a bronze mirror and came over, "My lady, take a look."
