Tang Shishi's voice was low and weak and Zhao Chengjun did not hear clearly. He frowned and asked: "What did you say?"
However, Tang Shishi was already unable to answer. She closed her eyes and passed out. Zhao Chengjun saw that something was wrong, lifted her up, and quickly put her on the bed in the side room.
Zhao Chengjun carefully leaned her neck on the pillow, opened her sleeves, and held her pulse. Zhao Chengjun almost died of illness when he first came to Xiping City, and it took a year for him to get used to it. Since then, Zhao Chengjun has learned some basic pharmacology.
Zhao Chengjun listened attentively, but Tang Shishi was restless. Her clothes were still wet, and she was uncomfortable lying on the couch. She swayed from side to side, trying to break away from Zhao Chengjun's restraint.
Zhao Chengjun was so disturbed by her that he couldn't concentrate, so he could only hold her arm and faintly said, "Don't make trouble."
But Tang Shishi coudn't listen, she couldn't help pulling on her clothes, and muttered in: "It's wet, it's so uncomfortable."
Zhao Chengjun was afraid that she would get cold after wearing wet clothes for a long time, so he had to hold her two wrists and said, "Don't move, I'll come back."
Tang Shishi was wearing a jade-colored hanfu today, with the buttons on the gown all the way up to the neck. Zhao Chengjun reached for the top button and paused slightly when he touched the button.
If it is a man, it is not a problem for others to help change clothes and dress up after being unconscious. However...Tang Shishi is a woman.
It is not proper for men and women to do this.
But he glanced at the condition of Tang Shishi and sighed helplessly. Tang Shishi has become like this, how can there be time to care about etiquette? It's important to save people first.
Zhao Chengjun went to untie the buttons on Master Tang's neckline. Tang Shishi loved beauty and even made the buttons in bells and whistles. This is not the method Zhao Chengjun is accustomed to, he tried for a long time, but he couldn't solve it. Tang Shishi was still moving and whimpering, Zhao Chengjun could only hold her shoulders, leaned closer, and carefully looked at the structure of the collar buckle.
At this time, Tang Shishi murmured a few words. The shape of her lips hardly moved, and the voice quickly faded away, as quickly as an illusion.
However, Zhao Chengjun was close enough to hear it. Zhao Chengjun's pupils were slightly enlarged, and he suddenly looked down at Tang Shishi.
Tang Shishi was still unconscious, her cheeks were flushed, her eyebrows were slightly frowning, and she looked very abnormal. Zhao Chengjun finally knew what kind of poison it was. He just thought it was the Youlanchun poison, but he didn't see such obvious symptoms. The Youlanchun Poison is a aphrodisiac of the high grade.
Judging from her appearance, she would have been drugged in Wangjiang Tower.
Zhao Chengjun was in a complicated mood for a while, frightened, afraid, and extremely grateful. This kind of medicine is overbearing and unpredictable. If she continues to stay in Wangjiang Tower, the consequences will be unimaginable. But she didn't know why, regardless of rushing back to the palace, even braving the rain to find him.
In a sense, her decision saved her life.
Zhao Chengjun couldn't help rubbing her slender and white chin, and asked in a low voice, "You ran back after a lot of trouble and desperateness just to talk about this?"
What Tang Shishi said vaguely just now was "Don't go, be careful someone will ambush you."
Zhao Chengjun knew that there was spies in the mansion, and also knew that the spies were contacting Tang Shishi quietly. In fact, Zhao Chengjun basically knows who everyone is, and the reason why they are still there is just to confuse the Empress Dowager who is thousands of miles away.
It is imperative for him to go to Suzhou this time. Zhao Chengjun has checked the secret letter in private and naturally he can find out if the secret letter had been touched. He has someone in Suzhou, and these internal methods can't deceive Zhao Chengjun.
However, Zhao Chengjun never expected that Tang Shishi would risk her life to remind him of this, instead of helping herself escape the real danger.
Tang Shishi could not hear his voice, Zhao Chengjun watched Tang Shishi for a long time, whispering to himself, not knowing who he was asking: "Why?"
Obviously, she didn't know that she was poisoned. She ran back in the rain completely unintentionally. Not for fame or profit, then what is she doing this for?
Why was she running back? Why remind him? She is a selfish person, how could she not know how dangerous it is to save him? How is she going to explain this action in the future?
Taking 10,000 steps back and she thought, if Zhao Chengjun dies, Zhao Zixun can inherit the throne then no one will hinder Zhao Zixun. This is clearly a good thing for Tang Shishi, why should she go so far as to rescue Zhao Chengjun?
What does she think of him?
Zhao Chengjun sighed deeply, and said: "I'll let you go first, and then I will take care of you when I come back. It is better to detoxify first."
Zhao Chengjun observed for a long time, and finally unbuttoned Tang Shishi's collar. Zhao Chengjun once lead the army, but never once did he feel such a strong sense of relief. He let out a long sigh of relief and helplessly said: "A button is so troublesome, it can make someone go crazy."
Because of this action, the two people were obviously very close. Tang Shishi seemed to be in the two layers of ice and fire, her body was cold and hot, and in the blur, she vaguely felt that there was a heat source in front of her. Regardless of what it was, Tang Shishi subconsciously hugged tightly.
Zhao Chengjun was untying the third button, and was suddenly held by her. Zhao Chengjun's instinct was stiff, and he was about to move, and his neck was wrapped around by Tang Shishi's hands. Her cheeks were naturally pressed against Zhao Chengjun's shoulders: "Mother, it's cold."
Zhao Chengjun was angry and funny. He finally pulled her up helplessly and said: "I am not your mother, don't move, let go..."
Tang Shishi's body is soft, and her waist was as soft as a willow, as if it was boneless. Zhao Chengjun sat up half hugging her, unbuttoned her clothes with one hand, and took off her coat. After finally taking off her outer shirt, Zhao Chengjun was already exhausted and sweating.
Zhao Chengjun threw the clothes on the shelf with one hand, thinking with great helplessness, this is much more tiring than leading the military training.
After removing the coat, the coat was tightly attached to Tang Shishi, and Tang Shishi's neck and arms were soaked. Tang Shishi was irritated by the cold air in the room, and she hugged Zhao Chengjun more tightly. Zhao Chengjun has been enduring her harassment since entering the house. Now that the jade armbands are on Zhao Chengjun's waist, Zhao Chengjun has to use all his self-control to ensure that he sits.
Rather than tearing up her thin layers of clothes that were in front of him.
Zhao Chengjun grasped his hand into a fist, his knuckles tightened and tight, and finally held her shoulders and pulled her away: "I forgive you for being delirious but i don't care about you. You lie down obediently, and I will let people come in."
Zhao Chengjun put Tang Shishi back on the bed and quickly got up. He overestimated himself too much, and something will happen if he stays. Zhao Chengjun didn't take two steps. Tang Shishi on the bed saw Zhao Chengjun leaving both half asleep and half awake. She instinctively got up and hugged him tightly from behind: "Don't go, I'm afraid."
Tang Shishi's arm looped around Zhao Chengjun's waist and clung to him tightly. Zhao Chengjun stopped stiffly in place. From this angle, he could clearly feel that there were two extremely soft objects on his back. No man can resist this temptation. Zhao Chengjun took her wrist, turned around, and stared at her closely: "Who am I?"
Tang Shishi opened her eyes wide innocently, and it was foggy inside. She was poured all the way by the rain, and the medicinal properties were suppressed, so that she could walk to the study safely, but correspondingly, the medicinal properties rebounded again after the suppression, which was more dangerous than the first time.
Tang Shishi is now not quite clear where she is and what she is doing. She only knew that she knew the person in front of her and was very reliable.
Tang Shishi wanted to move her arm, but her wrist was firmly clamped. He exerted so much force that she pinched her a little bit and pane came busting through. Tang Shishi burst into tears aggrieved, and said, "It hurts."
Zhao Chengjun lowered his head to see her hand and let go stiffly. Tang Shishi regained her freedom, wrapped his shoulders contentedly, and said: "I know you, your name is Prince Jing."
"Say the name."
Tang Shishi blinked and thought for a long time before asking tentatively, "Zhao Chengjun?"
Zhao Chengjun's heart finally landed. He thought to himself that Tang Shishi took the initiative to send it up. He also gave her a chance, but she was not sure.
Can't blame her.
"Hey, lie down. Take off the hairpin from your head."
Tang Shishi still looked at him blankly: "Why?"
Zhao Chengjun couldn't help laughing: "You'll know soon."
Outside the window, there was heavy rain and thunder, and the world was covered by rain into a vast white fog. Liu Ji stayed outside, watching his nose and his heart, very calm.
Time slowly passed, the rain gradually diminished, and only the sound of water tickling was heard and finally, the rain finally stopped. Zhao Chengjun put on his shirt and sighed helplessly when he saw the blood on his arm.
Next time, he should cut off Tang Shishi's nails.
Zhao Chengjun looked back, she was sleeping peacefully in the tent, and she looked very well-behaved. Zhao Chengjun sighed secretly, if she had been so behaved, how good she would be.
Outside the door, Liu Ji was already waiting. Seeing Zhao Chengjun coming out, Liu Ji did not ask anything, but asked for instructions: "Wangye, the rain has stopped, and the line is ready. Do you want to leave now?"
Zhao Chengjun looked at the sky, and although he was reluctant to give up, he said, "It is better to pass the order down, and lead the team. You send a maid to change her clothes, and call the imperial physician to check her pulse soon."
When Liu Ji responded, he hesitated slightly and wanted to ask if Zhao Chengjun wanted to give Tang Shishi the abortion medicine. However, thinking that the prince has no heirs so far, he concealed it on his own terms.
Anyway, the prince did not order, then naturally Tang Shishi doesn't have to drink it.
Zhao Chengjun didn't notice Liu Ji's slight pause. He put on a scarlet cloak as he walked, and said: "Take care of her, don't tell anyone, i will take care of this when i get back."
"Yes."
Tang Shishi was very restless in her sleep. She seemed to have a long dream. In the dream, there was fire and rain. She fought cold from time to time, and melted from time to time. Later, it became pure pain.
The pain was subtle and dense, and Tang Shishi tried to break free several times, but there was no way to stop it. After that, the pain faded and turned into trembling numbness. Tang Shishi tortured and cried. In her dream, she seemed to be begging for mercy with someone. The person comforted her and promised her, but he kept going.
Tang Shishi was so angry in her dream. She felt someone approaching in the ups and downs of her consciousness. She suddenly opened her eyes. The maid who was pulling the bed was startled and crouched to bow to Tang Shishi: "Miss Tang, you are awake. ."
Tang Shishi slowly stood up and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar furnishings in front of her, but couldn't react for a long time. Wasn't she fired by Zhao Chengjun? Why did she appear in the study?
No, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, she should be in Wangjiang Tower! Tang Shishi found out that her clothes had changed at this time. She was shocked and instinctively covered her collar.
When the maid saw it, she whispered: "Girl, you didn't wake up just now. The maid cleaned your body and changed into a new coat. Does the girl think the clothes don't fit?"
Tang Shishi was completely stunned, her apricot eyes stared extremely wide, the light in her eyes faded, and she gasped loudly.
Tang Shishi's arm softened and she almost fell on the bed. The maid was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her. The blush on Tang Shishi's face faded, and she couldn't believe what she had done.
She and Prince Jing? How is this possible?
Tang Shishi's lips trembled lightly and asked, "Where is the prince?"
"The prince led his troops away half an hour ago."
It is as expected. With a trembling voice, Tang Shishi asked: "Then did he leave any words?"
The maid thought for a while and shook her head gently. Tang Shishi seemed to be splashed with cold water on her face, and even her lips were white. She lowered her head and smiled self-deprecatingly.
What did she think Zhao Chengjun would leave behind? She slowly recalled what happened before. Feng Qian calculated that she took the aphrodisiac and transported it back to the palace instead of being taken advantage of outside. She took the initiative to post it, and naturally no man would refuse.
Zhao Chengjun probably looks down on such behavior. Maybe, he thought she was deliberate.
Tang Shishi suddenly lost all her strength and leaned back on the pillow. After the shock dissipated, she realized that her whole body was hurting, especially in that place, as if she was torn. Tang Shishi closed her eyes in despair, thinking that she had even ruined her way to become a female officer. As a maid climbing on the master's bed, she had become a taboo.
Zhao Chengjun is still a person who is so tired of being calculated by women. When he comes back, how will he send her off?
Tang Shishi couldn't even think about it. The maid called Tang Shishi several times, but Tang Shishi did not respond. Liu Ji heard the movement outside the door, knocked on the door and came in, saying a thousand words through the screen: "Miss Tang, are you awake?"
They still call her miss, so it can be seen that she doesn't have any status yet. Tang Shishi smiled bitterly, cheered up, and helped the bed to bow down to the ground to salute: "Liu Gonggong, forgive me..."
Both Liu Ji and the maid were taken aback. The maid quickly helped her. Liu Ji also tried to sue her behind the screen: "Don't be embarrassed. Miss, you got rained on the road, and got saved by Wangye. He specifically ordered this slave to wait for you to give you the decoction to keep you away from the cold. The girl should drink it while it's hot."
The maid walked outside and soon came in with a bowl of concoction. Tang Shishi looked at the bowl of black medicinal juice with a bright heart.
Isn't this baizitang? Tang Shishi didn't say anything. She took the medicine and poured it directly into her mouth. Seeing that she was drinking in a hurry, Liu Ji specifically added: "Don't worry, girl, this is a medicine for colds, and it will not harm your body."
When Tang Shishi heard this, she was even more certain. This is indeed an abortion medicine. Liu Ji was afraid that she would not drink it, and even specifically said it was a cure for illness.
Funny, is she that stupid?
Tang Shishi's agility in drinking medicine was beyond Liu Ji's imagination. Liu Ji vaguely felt that Tang Shishi's attitude was not right, but he couldn't think of anything wrong, so he could only leave the matter behind and said, "Miss, there is no one outside. You don't have to worry about being seen by anyone when you go back. Does miss want to go back to her residence or stay here?"
Even her departure had been prepared. It can be seen how much Prince Jing doesn't want to see her, and doesn't want people to know. The more Tang Shishi thinks about it, the more saddened she was. With such an attitude, can Tang Shishi still keep her face? Tang Shishi felt wronged, and immediately got up and said, "I'll go back now."
Tang Shishi wrapped her cloak and returned to Jianjia Courtyard. Du Juan was shocked when she saw that Tang Shishi's hair was loose and her clothes were changed. But Tang Shishi refused to say anything, her face was pale and she looked extremely tired: "Prepare water, I want to take a bath."
In Wangjiang Tower, everyone had been searching for a long time, but still could not find Tang Shishi. Lu Yufei calmly asked, "Have you seen all the corners, haven't you found where she is?"
The servants shook their heads angrily. Feng Qian stood on the side with a sad expression, wiping her tears and said, "I blame myself. If I kept Sister Tang with me, she wouldn't disappear."
Lu Yufei's complexion was extremely bad, she wasn't in a good mood when they first arrived. This festival was really inauspicious. Halfway through the dragon boat race, it was raining. Finally, after the rain stopped, Tang Shishi disappeared.
When Lu Yufei heard the news, she felt a little stunned. Today, the Wangjiang Tower is full of powerful and powerful people, and there are many foreigners. Someone like Tang Shishi disappearing is not a good thing.
The more Lu Yufei thought about it, the more irritable she became. If she was an ordinary maid, she wouldn't care. However, the problem is that Tang Shishi is Zhao Chengjun's maid.
Tang Shishi is gone, how can Lu Yufei dare to shoulder this responsibility?
Lu Yufei was upset, and a small servant came outside to pass a letter, saying: "Shizi Consort, the prince is out today. Shizi has gone back. The Prince ordered Shizi and Shizi Consort to go back immediately."
Lu Yufei's face suddenly became gloomy. She was worried about the presence of many maids around, and she barely endured, and said, "Okay, I know. Since the Shizi is gone, we can't delay, let's go."
"Shizi Consort, Miss Tang..."
"The matter is urgent, since Wangjiang Tower can't be found, then let's go back to the city and look for her there instead." Lu Yufei said, "We can't disobey the Prince's orders, let's go."
Feng Qian followed the crowd with awe-inspiring tears. Lu Yufei came out of Wangjiang Tower, thinking in her heart that they will definitely not be able to catch up with Prince Jing even when they go back now. The war will take half a year, and after half a year that's the only time Prince Jing will return. How can he remember Tang Shishi?
In this case, the loss of Tang Shishi is not a major problem. Lu Yufei let out a long sigh of relief. She thought that the scourge would never happen again in the palace, and she was immediately relieved, even being left behind by Zhao Zixun was nothing.
