Chapter 513: Victory over the Sun (7)
"Yeah." Shen Zhuo nodded.
Shengxia was happy. She said goodbye after getting off the carriage, walked quickly to her yard, ground some qingqiancao, and then asked the maid to send the ointment to Chen Zhuo.
If Chen Zhuo is safe and sound, then the Wuguo Mansion will be more stable.
On the day of the autumn hunt, Shengxia followed Chen Zhuo to the hunting ground. They played polo on the first day, and the team Chen Zhuo was on won.
There were many noble ladies sitting nearby, but with Chen Zhuo's protection last time, they just glanced at him and didn't dare to say much.
The prince of the Duke's Mansion said on the spot that their family had poor upbringing, and they were all punished by their father after returning.
Shengxia ignored them. After getting over it in her heart, a few glances didn't hurt her at all. There was no need to take them to heart.
What's more, she came here to complete a mission and didn't need to have any friendship with them.
When Chen Zhuo came back, she went to greet him, "Brother, the tea is ready, are you thirsty?"
"Yeah." Chen Zhuo nodded and sat down with her.
"If you want to ride a horse, you can go and have some fun. There are a lot of people at the stables, so you can ride slowly."
"Okay." Shengxia left the banquet after hearing that, changed into a red riding suit, found a docile horse, and mounted it neatly.
A handsome man sat next to Shen Zhuo and looked at Sheng Xia in the horse farm. "Mingche, your stepsister is really different from the last time I saw her. The Duke of Wu's Mansion is really a place where you can raise people. Even small soldiers and crab generals who go in will become powerful generals when they come out."
His temperament and eyes have changed. The last time he was being talked about, he looked as if the sky had fallen and he couldn't walk. He lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. Now he is in high spirits.
Many men set their sights on her.
"That's an exaggeration." Shen Zhuo nodded slightly.
Shengxia came back from riding a horse and saw the person next to Chen Zhuo. She saluted him and said, "Prince Changhe."
"No need to be so polite." Gao Sichen nodded with a smile.
Shengxia sat down, poured herself some tea, and sat quietly by the side, pretending to be invisible, listening to their idle chat. From time to time, someone came over to chat with Chen Zhuo and Gao Sichen.
The second day was the real autumn hunting day. Shengxia took the food prepared for Shen Zhuo. Seeing that the servant was about to walk towards Shen Zhuo who was standing there checking his bow, she also ran towards Shen Zhuo.
Just then, the cup of hot tea that should have soaked a large area of Chen Zhuo's clothes spilled onto her waist.
Shengxia's body shook violently and felt very hot. She quickly patted her body with her hands. The clothes around her waist, which were mostly wet, touched her palms, which quickly turned black.
"I'm sorry, sir! Please spare me, please spare me!" The boy who served the tea immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The clothes and the tea on the ground were still steaming. Chen Zhuo grabbed her shoulders and pulled her away. Looking at her furrowed brows, he frowned and said, "You didn't say anything even though it was hot."
"Brother, it hurts." She whispered, her eyes slightly red, tears quickly falling, and she stretched out her hand in front of him again, "My hand is also burning red..."
"It's dark?!" Shengxia said in surprise.
The pain is real, the crying is fake, and the surprise is also fake.
Chen Zhuo's expression quickly turned gloomy, "Take him away for trial!"
He now understood that if Shengxia had not accidentally bumped into him, the tea with something added to it would have spilled on him.
Shen Zhuo's followers quickly subdued the man. The servant's shouting was so loud that it attracted many people to gather around, and even the emperor sent people to inquire.
"Go find a female doctor." Chen Zhuo instructed the maid beside Shengxia, and then went to report to the person sent by the emperor.
Shengxia was brought into the tent. The female doctor undressed her, applied medicine to her, examined her palms, and carefully smelled the scent of tea on her clothes.
"The burn is not serious. It will heal in a few days with medicine."
"There's intoxicating wood in tea. It's fine for humans, but horses will go crazy if they smell it."
Shen Zhuo stood outside the screen with his back to the screen, his face sullen, and he went through the possibilities of who was behind the scenes in his mind.
"Miss, did you apply something like flower oil containing Mingqiancao on your hands?"
Shengxia replied, "Grind up the Mingqian grass and put it in hand cream. It will have a better moisturizing effect. An old lady in my hometown told me about this. I've been using hand cream with the Mingqian herbal powder these days."
"A mixture of qingqiancao and drunkard flowers will darken your skin. It's not toxic. I'll give you two doses. Boil them and wash your hands, and the color will fade."
"Thanks."
"I don't deserve it."
Shengxia changed her clothes, walked up to Chen Zhuo, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, is someone trying to harm you?"
Chen Zhuo raised his hand and patted her head, "Well, don't worry, you are protecting me from disaster."
If she hadn't bought the herb Mingqiancao to wipe her hands, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Does it still hurt?"
"Some. It feels cool after applying the medicine."
"Let Linzhi follow you. I'll be back soon. Don't leave alone." Shen Zhuo looked at her deeply.
Linzhi is more than just a martial arts master.
"Okay." Shengxia sat in front of the tent and watched him leave.
In this way, he, the chosen one of heaven, will not be crippled again.
After a while, I heard from others that the emperor had postponed the autumn hunt for one day, and the matter was halfway through the investigation when there was no result.
I think he was suppressed. After all, the royal family's reputation cannot be lost.
Why did the Second Prince want to harm Chen Zhuo? Because the Wuguogong family was too rigid, they were loyal to whoever was the emperor. The eldest son was in the front, and his ability was superior to the Second Prince. The Second Prince had no choice but to resort to underhanded tactics and rebel.
Use any means to achieve the goal.
When Chen Zhuo came back, his expression was even colder. He said, "I got you hurt for nothing."
"Brother, I'm fine." Sheng Xia shook her head and leaned close to him and said, "Someone wants to harm you. I'm worried that there are more than one tricks. You have to be careful."
"Okay." Shen Zhuo's face warmed slightly.
The maid brought over the cooled medicine, and Shengxia washed her hands carefully, and the color of her black palms faded by half.
"Like the chicken feet of the chicken you handled last time." She raised her wet hands.
Chen Zhuo handed her the handkerchief and said, "It will look more like it if it's wrinkled."
Shengxia glared at him and pulled the handkerchief towards him, "I didn't ask you to respond to me."
He couldn't help but purse the corners of his lips into a very shallow arc.
A team of palace maids came over with trays, and the leader said, "The Queen heard that Miss Shen was frightened, so she asked me to bring you something to calm you down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Shengxia stood up and said.
After the maid left, Shengxia asked quietly, "Brother, are you trying to tell me to shut up?"
"Not stupid."
"I was smart." It's just that I used to live in a nightmare and hell that I had woven for myself, driving myself out of the center of my life and diligently letting outsiders occupy the most important position.
"That's good." He said suddenly.
Sheng Xia was speechless for a moment when she heard this, "Brother, I will treat you as my real brother from now on."
Both he and the old lady were willing to guide her, to affirm herself, and to be generous and confident.
Shen Zhuo glanced at her.
"I will satisfy you with your birthday gift next year."
"It's to satisfy yourself." Shen Zhuo corrected in a calm voice.
"Brother, meeting you, grandma and father is my life's blessing." Shengxia gave him an especially sincere smile.
She will become better, cross the long journey, and return to Kyushu.
