Chapter 143 Winter Banquet 4
Compared to the last time they met, there seemed to be a lot more in Shen Xihe's eyes. Although her face was still the same bright and attractive face, her temperament had undergone a drastic change.
If she used to be a young lady from a marquis's mansion who was kept in seclusion and was at most a little smarter and more stable than other young ladies, now she has the aura of a heroine who avenges and abuses the scum in a cool novel.
Shen Wangshu looked at her, tears streaming down his face unconsciously.
One is that the original body's soul saw that the eldest sister couldn't control her emotions, and was stabbed by the golden halo of the heroine on her.
Sometimes I really feel that there is no need for a newbie like me to do anything, the heroine's sister can lead her to victory easily.
"Sister..." Shen Wangshu called out in a trembling voice, and then took the initiative to hand over the control of his body to his original body who was eager to come out, allowing the two sisters to chat about family matters first, and then take over the account when it was time to talk about serious matters.
What Chen Xihe was most concerned about was whether his sister was doing well these days. The original body wiped away tears and told everything he knew, and by the way, he also made up for the new settings that Chen Wangshu had added to himself.
After learning that she now has a medical skill that can be practiced among the people, Shen Xihe was surprised but quickly accepted it - long-term illness makes one a doctor. She herself has transformed from a knowledgeable lady in the boudoir to an ambitious person aiming for that position, so it seems not impossible for her sister to know medical skills.
It was this damn fate that forced the two sisters to change.
After talking about some things in the past, when asked about the present, the original owner took the initiative to step down and let Shen Wangshu come out instead.
In fact, the dragon horn in his arms could no longer be suppressed.
From Shen Xihe's perspective, his sister just became dazed for a moment while talking, and there was no change at all.
The temperaments of the two of them were similar to begin with, and now they were in a semi-fused state. Except for Long Jiao who was so sharp, ordinary people could not see any clues.
"I am now by Prince Ning's side. I have hunted down and eliminated all those who slandered and harmed our Shen family. The old emperor is now lying on the dragon bed, unable to move, and his life will not last long." When Shen Xihe said this, his eyes were full of excitement and complacency.
She clenched her fists. The feeling of personally sending those maggot-like dog officials to jail was enough for her to savor for a long time. Unfortunately, the people were gone, and the past could never come back...
"Sister, what stage has your plan reached now? Is there anything I can help with?" Shen Wangshu asked proactively.
The original heroine did have plenty of strength and means, but in just half a year, she avenged the Shen family on her own. Now she has entered the next stage and started the battle for the throne.
"No need for you, just stay safe by my sister's side." Looking at her only sister, Shen Xihe's eyes softened: "The situation in the capital is complicated, the general's mansion is next to the Ning Wang Mansion, and the guards are also very dedicated. I'm relieved that my sister can take care of you at all times."
How could she ask Shen Wangshu to do anything? She just wanted Shen Wangshu to live well.
"Sister, Nian Nian can also help with some things now." Shen Wangshu was not asking superficially, she was really prepared to help, after all, she had promised the original owner before.
Shen Xihe fell silent, feeling relieved and helpless.
The comfort is that she has walked this road of revenge alone for so long, and her most beloved sister said, "Sister, I can do something for you." Unfortunately, she is not clear about Shen Wangshu's situation now.
It is true that the power of the General's Mansion and the support of the Duke of Rong's Mansion are very important to them, but these two families have always been neutral and have never participated in the fight for the throne. Why should they take the risk to take sides because of Shen Wangshu?
Chen Xihe sighed and told her what he could tell her simply, frowning slightly: "Although I really want the old emperor to die in bed, the most important thing is that he wakes up now... The fifth prince is like the bait we threw out, and the prince has already bitten the hook, but this fish has been raised fat and big, and it is not easy to catch the net."
This is a very vivid metaphor. Rong Baolin, who used to serve the emperor, has been forced to "retire and return home", and the queen almost cleaned up the harem. Who can tell what exactly made the emperor sick?
Was it the Queen and the Crown Prince who poisoned the person, or was there something wrong with the elixir presented by the alchemist...or maybe it was the former but they were trying to frame the latter. All of these are possible.
But the problem is that now, apart from the doctors recruited from all over the place, no one can easily get close to the emperor. Even the princes and concubines who want to serve him closely are unable to do so.
Shen Wangshu's mind was confused for a moment: "Then we just need to find evidence that the prince poisoned the emperor, right? Why does he have to wake up in person? Does the emperor know about this himself?"
Chen Xihe patiently explained to her: "That's not the case. If both the Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince have problems, then we need the Emperor to issue a succession edict to determine the next person to inherit the throne."
Without an imperial edict, anyone who takes the throne at this time would be unjustified.
Besides, if a palace coup really happens by then...it would be terrible if we were labeled as forcing the emperor to abdicate and treason when we go to war.
For those who are forcing the emperor to abdicate, having a prince is enough. They are going to rescue the emperor.
After thinking this through, Shen Wangshu nodded: "Sister is still thoughtful, but with so many doctors in the world, no one can wake up the emperor? Could it be that someone is doing something wrong?"
Chen Xihe shook his head: "It should be not... Every time the doctor sees a doctor, it is open. This is also the only opportunity to see the emperor. I went in with the imperial concubine before, and there was nothing wrong."
It is possible that the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were bribed, but now the prince is recruiting doctors from all over the world to cure the emperor's illness. It is impossible that everyone who comes here has been bribed by them, right?
“Then it could only be that they are confident enough in the poison they have given, thinking that no one can cure it, and that it is no problem for them to wear down the emperor until his death.” Shen Wangshu touched his chin.
There is no absolutely safe place in this world. After the two sisters recognized each other's identities, Shen Xihe vigilantly put the mask back on her face.
Several palace maids stopped Shen Wangshu's maid outside. From the looks of it, the two of them were "strangers" and talking for too long would attract attention. After knowing that the other party was safe, they felt relieved.
"Sister, do you know what four words were written on the flag when I gave free medical consultations in the past?" Shen Wangshu asked.
"What?"
"Difficult and complicated diseases." She smiled and said, "Besides me, there is another senior brother with superb medical skills who may be able to solve my sister's urgent needs now."
If the profound medical skills of the era were combined and the two most talented students of the national medical master were unable to help him, then the old emperor would really be beyond help and could only lie in bed and wait to die.
"good."
"Oh, right," Chen Xihe held back and said, "The guards at the general's mansion are really good. Tell them when you go back. Otherwise, if my sister wants to look for you, the letter won't be delivered."
We live next door, but I'm really anxious not being able to see each other.
