Chapter 12 The protagonist's past
Everyone put aside their thoughts, picked up their tea bowls, and started chatting and laughing. The emperor left early because he had some government affairs to attend to.
Wen Renyuan took a sip of her wine and pretended to ask about Chu Sishui's family situation.
"I heard that an elder sister of your sister-in-law's family stole the show at the flower festival a few days ago. A poem titled "On the South Village of the Capital" written by Cui Hu, the immortal in a dream, tells a story of a beautiful encounter and loss." He turned to look at King Jing, "Fourth brother, do you think so?"
Chu Sishui just pretended not to understand the mockery in Wen Renyuan's eyes and said, "I haven't heard about this yet. I'll ask when I return home tomorrow."
Wen Renyuan pretended to lament, "Then you should ask your sister whether the immortal in her dream told her what to rewrite next."
Chu Sishui, "..."
Prince Rui, who seemed to be in a state of meditation from the beginning to the end, finally raised his eyes and said, "I am a little tired, Queen, I will take my leave."
The former queen waved her hand and led a group of palace servants to leave their seats.
Originally, there was no one to see the couple off, so the kind-hearted Fifth Princess volunteered to see them off.
Rong Lianzhi is fifteen years old this year, the most romantic and gossipy age.
Even though Chu Sishui was just talking casually along the way, she still leaned close to Chu Sishui's ear and whispered, "I hate that fake woman Wen Renyuan the most. Relying on her father being a general, she used to bully my third brother and made everyone in Jinxiao City say that she and my third brother are a perfect match. But I know that my third brother only treats her as a sister and doesn't like her."
Chu Sishui raised her eyebrows. It turned out that this was the case. Fei Jian was pushing Prince Rui in front, and all his attention was on the wheelchair. He didn't notice that Chu Sishui and the Fifth Princess were several steps behind.
The Fifth Princess looked at the distance between her and Prince Rui and continued, "After the Third Brother broke his leg, she extended an olive branch to the Big Brother. The Big Brother's dignified and steady appearance was no match for her face, so he immediately asked Father for marriage."
"She pretends to be noble, elegant, gentle and virtuous on the surface, but in fact, Wen Renyuan is very cruel."
Chu Sishui heard something different now, "Princess, what do you mean?"
"Because I'm a princess, everyone is not on guard against me, so I may see some things more clearly. I heard clearly that day that Wen Renyuan and my eldest brother's marriage was premeditated. As for why, you should know. I just feel sorry for my third brother. He lost his mother when he was young. My mother took care of him for a few months, and then the court officials said that he wanted to become the queen. She was scared and didn't dare to take care of my third brother."
"I just helped him secretly. Although I am a princess, my mother has no support from her family. Since I was a child, the eldest princess has taken away all the limelight. I have had enough of her bullying. Only my third brother is kind to me, taking me to study and playing."
She wiped her tears and said, "But it seemed that God would not let him go. He met an assassin again and fell off a cliff. When my father found him, he was almost dead."
She sighed softly, "That day, I heard that Third Brother had chosen his own princess, and today I heard him say that Third Sister-in-law, you also know medical skills. I felt that I had to tell you this. Although we just met today, I think you should be someone who truly cares about Third Brother."
Chu Sishui stopped and looked at the girl with red eyes in the backlight, and silently said in her heart what she had never said before - don't worry, your third brother will definitely be able to stand up again.
"Thank you Princess for telling me this. I believe your third brother will be able to create another miracle."
"Yes." Rong Lianzhi took a deep breath and waved his hand, "I'll drop you off here."
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched Rong Lianzhi's departing figure, as if trying to keep her. Chu Sishui turned around and her eyes fell on the figure supported by the flying sword.
She understood what everyone meant today. The pearl of the past has now fallen into dust. Some people ridiculed it, some were indifferent, some were glad, and some were regretful.
But no matter which one it is, it tells Chu Sishui that Rong Zhuo must have been the best candidate for the crown prince in the past.
Now disabled, his life has come to an end.
Chu Sishui originally didn't care about the royal struggles. If she was to be selfish, she really hoped that Prince Rui would return to his fiefdom in Jiangdong so that she and he could live freely for the rest of their lives.
But today, Prince Rui's expression was even more deadly than his usual indifference. It turned out that he just hid it well, not that he didn't care.
Sitting in the carriage again, Chu Sishui no longer felt as relaxed as when she came here. The wind happened to blow through the curtains. Outside the east gate, groups of children were running quickly, laughing loudly, and their laughter became more powerful as the sun set.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Rong Zhuo still asked, "Are you worried about something?"
Chu Sishui turned his gaze and said with determination, "Your Highness, I have combined the prescriptions of dozens of traveling doctors and have prepared the medicine to repair necrotic muscles. Your Highness, please take one pill tonight."
Rong Zhuo didn't expect her to say this and looked at her in silence for a moment.
Chu Sishui searched the original owner's memory in her mind and smiled, "Your Highness vouched for me in front of my father today. Are you afraid that I will poison you now?"
"Your Highness, rest assured. I modified this prescription based on the Guizhi Jia Fuling Baizhu Decoction in the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases. The main ingredients are three liang of peony root, two liang of roasted licorice, three liang each of ginger, white atractylodes, and poria, twelve cut jujubes, and several medicinal materials from the itinerant doctor."
Rong Zhuo looked at her for a long time, "That's not what I'm talking about."
Chu Sishui was a little confused.
Rong Zhuo asked, "What did Lian Zhi say to you today? Why didn't you say anything while sitting in the car?"
Chu Sishui clasped her hands and recounted their conversation verbatim, "I just think that Your Highness should stand in a high position. I don't feel sorry for Your Highness."
Rong Zhuo lowered his eyelids and was silent for a moment, "I have accepted this reality and don't feel any pity."
Chu Sishui was rarely sad. "Your Highness, if you really believe in me, just listen to my treatment method in the future, and you will see hope."
Rong Zhuo, "...Okay."
Seeing that he was not greatly touched, Chu Sishui did not dwell on this topic.
Thinking about the fact that I have to go back tomorrow, "Your Highness, you may not know much about my family."
Rong Zhuo withdrew his gaze from the window and motioned for her to continue.
"My mother died when I was ten years old. I don't have much gratitude towards the Chu family."
Rong Zhuo said, "Yeah." and then closed his eyes.
Chu Sishui breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had understood what to do when he returned home tomorrow.
We walked slowly all the way back to the palace, and the sun was already setting.
While Rong Zhuo was changing his clothes, Chu Sishui went behind the screen and took out a nanoscale micro robot made into pills from the spiritual spring in the space.
They can accurately locate damaged nerves and tissues, releasing specific biological signals and trace amounts of drugs.
Seeing that he had changed, Chu Sishui picked up a cup of tea and handed it to him.
Rong Zhuo didn't think much about it. In fact, he didn't hold out any hope. Although the medicine she gave him last time made his legs warm, he didn't think he would really be able to stand up.
Seeing him eat it, Chu Sishui was happy for a long time.
