Chapter 145 Summoning
"So, what's wrong with you?"
She stared at him for a long time, but he didn't say anything. He just stared at her quietly. In the past, she would never give in and would keep staring at him.
But now, for some reason, whenever she looked into his eyes for a long time, her heart would beat unusually faster. She even suspected that she was sick, but when she took her own pulse, there was nothing wrong.
Rong Su was extremely depressed. Seeing that he just didn't say anything, she was about to get up and leave.
As soon as he stood up, Shen Peiqing finally spoke.
"Why didn't you come to check on my injuries these past two days?"
what?
I originally thought that he was so serious because of something important, but it was because of this...
Speechless, Rong Su said bluntly, "Your physical condition is normal. The last time I checked it, I didn't think it was serious. Now I know you're almost healed."
The words speak for themselves, there's no need to read any further.
Shen Peiqing's face darkened, and he looked unhappy, as if he was looking for trouble. He changed the subject:
"Take my pulse. My meridians are not healed yet, but you have neglected them."
Shen Peiqing was so aggressive that Rong Su couldn't understand why he was so angry.
Seeing Rong Su staring at him like that, it was as if she was asking if he was pretending to be stupid.
Shen Peiqing clenched his fists and suppressed the depression in his heart. He always felt that the woman in front of him could really make him angry.
"Anyway, if you neglect to heal my meridians, we'll have to renegotiate our deal."
When Rong Su heard that he had already brought out the terms of the transaction, she immediately became angry, glared at him, and slammed the table with her fist.
"Shen Peiqing!"
But the other party was obviously very calm, looking at her with a firm attitude, as if he was going to cheat on her if he didn't treat her.
She was angry, but she couldn't argue, because Rong Su had neglected one thing, which was a very important thing that she had never thought about before.
That is, if Shen Peiqing completely healed his meridians and regained his internal strength, would he really keep his promise and help her get revenge?
They didn't have any written agreement at the beginning, everything was just verbal promises.
As the saying goes, words are not enough. What if this man turns the tables on her in the end? Wouldn’t she be at a great loss?
Countless scenarios of Shen Peiqing going back on his word flashed through her mind, and she was certain that this man would definitely break the contract.
Shen Peiqing just wanted to use this to make Rong Su pay more attention to him, and he didn't intend to use it to threaten her.
But from her expression, Shen Peiqing obviously realized the problem and hurried to say something to remedy it.
Before he could say anything, Rong Su's face had already turned cold. She smiled sarcastically and said, "Let's talk again, right? Anyway, you already know what herbs you need to restore your meridians in the end."
"Okay, then let's just break up. You go your way, and I'll go mine!"
After saying that, Rong Su stood up expressionlessly and walked out of the pavilion.
"Rong Su, I'm not that..."
Before he could finish his words, Rong Su had already walked away, even quickening her pace, obviously she was really angry.
Realizing that he had messed up, Shen Peiqing looked regretful and sank into silence.
"Master, who offended Miss Rong? I just spoke to Miss Rong, and she actually looked at me as if she wanted to hit me. It was so scary."
Shi Tou walked over from not far away, looked at him blankly, and said while scratching his head.
Hearing this, Shen Peiqing held his forehead and sighed lightly.
Shi Tou noticed that his master seemed a little depressed, and immediately realized that Miss Rong's anger seemed to be related to his master, so he shut up tactfully.
Rong Su was so angry that she wanted to stomp the floor. She stared at the ground and saw a tree blocking her way. She raised her foot and kicked the tree stump hard.
I kicked it several times and my feet were sore, but I still didn't feel relieved.
"Oh, Shen Peiqing! You're awesome! If I had known you were so shameless, I should have poisoned your medicine. At least that would have prevented you from regretting it later!"
But she just didn't think of this!
Her ankle began to hurt, so she had to divert her attention. She held onto the tree, bent down, reached out to touch her ankle, and felt the bone. She couldn't help but groan in pain.
"Shen Peiqing! I will definitely not let you off easily!"
He also blamed Shen Peiqing for his foot pain.
After rubbing her ankles, Rong Su felt a little better and left.
Shortly after she left, a man walked out from under another tree.
It was Yulan who happened to pass by. She stared at Rong Su who was walking further and further away, and her eyes became a little dim.
"She really cares about Shen Peiqing? That's not okay..."
After a few days like this, Rong Su became more and more irritable.
The reason is that no matter where she goes, she can see Shen Peiqing.
Obviously, I rarely paid attention to this guy in the past!
But now, whenever he stood there, she couldn't help but look at him.
This feeling made her feel disgusted and annoyed.
Besides, they were arguing, so it was impossible for her to talk to him first!
Not only did Rong Su have different emotions, Shen Peiqing was even more depressed because he didn't know how to make Rong Su calm down.
For example, now he passed her in the corridor, he just turned his head to look at her, as if he had something to say to her, but she just didn't look at him, turned her head and looked away.
Or maybe he knew she was planning to go out to the pharmacy to buy herbs, and he wanted to go with her, but she didn't even look at him.
Not to mention agreeing to let him go with her.
The most annoying thing was not that he couldn't go out with her, but that he saw Gu Yun always talking to Rong Su before him, and the two of them would walk side by side with laughter.
She would show a brilliant smile to Gu Yun, but when facing him, her face was as cold as ice.
"Damn it!" Shen Peiqing slammed his head hard against a tree, letting the sharp thorns on the trunk pierce his skin and blood began to seep out. At the same time, a deep hole was left in the tree stump.
Shi Tou, standing aside, couldn't bear to watch this. He saw his master hurting himself in anger, but he didn't even think about trying to keep Miss Rong or please her. He felt that his master had a long way to go.
After feeling helpless in his heart, Shen Peiqing suddenly retracted his fist with blood stains on it and glanced at the stone with a bad look on his face.
The look was extremely aggressive. As soon as it swept over, Shi Tou felt as if an ice spike was stabbing his face. The intangible pain made him shiver subconsciously.
"Master, I heard that several of my men have found girls recently, and they are all reading a book. Perhaps you could buy it and read it?"
Shi Tou really couldn't stand Shen Peiqing's cold gaze, so he could only rack his brains to think of a way to help him.
I originally thought that a man as handsome, cold and arrogant as my master would not read books that try to please girls.
He was prepared to endure his master's wrath and reproach, but he never expected this.
"What are you still standing there for? Go buy it!"
Shen Peiqing stared at Shitou, whose heart was beating fast, with a tense face. When these words came out, Shitou looked at him in shock, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
"What? Master, are you saying that you want to see it?"
Shen Peiqing glanced at him coldly, silently warning him that if he said another word of nonsense, he would be done for.
Shi Tou immediately understood the meaning of Shen Peiqing's eyes and responded without turning his head, fearing that he would really be crippled by Shen Peiqing.
On the other side, Rong Su went to the pharmacy with Gu Yun.
Along the way, Rong Su was a little absent-minded. In fact, she didn't know what she was thinking, but she just couldn't concentrate.
"Asu?"
A gentle and soft voice sounded beside me.
Hearing the call, Rong Su reacted and quickly turned her head to look over, meeting Gu Yun's clear eyes, which were looking at her with worry.
Realizing that he was not in the right state of mind, he was distracted and didn't hear what Gu Yun said at all.
She looked at him apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you said."
Gu Yun did not seem to blame her for this. Instead, he looked at her worriedly and said to her in an extremely gentle voice:
"If you feel unwell, you can tell me the name of the herbs you need and I will go to the pharmacy to buy them for you."
Feeling that Gu Yun was making a big deal out of nothing, she quickly waved her hands and explained, "No need, I'm not feeling unwell, I'm just thinking about something."
In fact, she lied, but she didn't want Gu Yun to chase her and ask her questions, as this would only give her a burden that she could not repay.
Gu Yun seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He did not ask any further questions, but just silently accompanied her to the pharmacy.
After they bought all the herbs, they were on their way back.
Gu Yun suddenly stopped. Rong Su, who was still a little dazed, stopped when she saw him stop and turned to look at him.
"Gu Yun?"
But he was standing in a green robe among the endless stream of people, but it still couldn't cover up the natural and gentle aura he exuded.
But now, it seemed as if he revealed a hint of sadness and loneliness.
Rong Su was a little confused and looked at him, waiting for his reply.
After a long while, Gu Yun raised his head and gave her a faint smile. At this moment, the sadness in his body seemed to have disappeared with a gust of cold wind.
"It's okay, let's go."
At that moment, she blinked, and Gu Yun was still as gentle as ever, looking at her and still smiling at her.
It seems she was wrong.
That night, I suddenly received a message.
Because the defense map was lost, the Emperor of Dongzhou ordered Prince Jin'an to bring all relevant personnel to the Eastern Capital.
After learning the news, Lianxin was worried that something might happen to Prince Jin'an and expressed her desire to go with him.
"Lianxin, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't follow us. Just wait for us to come back in Xuancheng." King Jin'an saw that Lianxin really cared about him, so his tone became much gentler.
But before, because of Ying'er's appearance, he had invested a lot of emotions, but Ying'er lied to him, saying that it was impossible that he had not been shocked or affected.
But during this period of time, after getting along with Lianxin, King Jin'an was truly moved by Lianxin's care and kindness, so he opened his heart again.
Lianxin looked at Prince Jin'an anxiously, and seeing that he was determined, she looked at Rong Su.
He looked at her with pleading eyes, and after seeing it, Rong Su insisted on King Jin'an's decision.
"You have to trust your adoptive father on this matter."
In the end, Lianxin stayed in Xuancheng, and all of them had to follow Prince Jin'an to the Eastern Capital to meet the emperor.
On the way, the King of Jin'an said to them with some apology: "This matter was originally due to my poor supervision of the defense map, and I should not have implicated you."
People in high positions generally feel superior.
But King Jin'an seemed different. He never felt proud of being in a high position, and even gave people a sense of humility.
"Your Highness, don't blame yourself for this. If you need any help, we will do our best to help."
Rong Su looked at King Jin'an and made his position clear as soon as possible. It would be an honor for anyone to make friends with a wise king like King Jin'an.
"Yes." Shen Peiqing echoed at the right time. Rong Su heard it and glanced at him quickly. He seemed to have noticed her gaze and quickly caught it.
After hearing this, King Jin'an looked at them with gratitude and thanked them again.
"But there is one thing I don't understand. Do you know the person who stole the defense map? Why Ying'er?" King Jin'an paused and then began to speak.
"Why did that woman target you? And why did she deliberately use the criminals to frame Master Gu?"
Speaking of this incident, Gu Yun was falsely accused of poisoning someone to death, but later the King of Jin'an sent people to investigate and everything became clear.
Those people didn't dare to investigate before because they were scared by Ying'er, who was a princess at the time, abusing her power and didn't dare to take any action.
Rong Su had actually confirmed that Ying'er was Rong Yingxin, but if she told this to others, probably no one would believe it.
The candidate for Tianfengnu in Zhongdu actually came here to steal the defense map and even got to know her, a commoner doctor.
She wasn't trying to hide it, she just didn't want to spend time explaining so much.
"Perhaps this person felt that we were an eyesore and would hinder her from stealing the defense map, so she took action and framed Gu Yun to divert our attention."
As soon as Rong Su finished speaking, Shen Peiqing seemed to have predicted what she would say and supplemented her next words in advance.
"Because we brought Lian Xin back from the fishing village."
After hearing this, King Jin'an nodded thoughtfully and felt that it made sense.
Rong Su glanced sideways at Shen Peiqing. He stared at her with his dark eyes, as if he was begging her to pay attention to him with a pleading look.
But Rong Su was still angry. Although she didn't know what she was angry about, she still chose to ignore it and turned her head away.
Seeing this, Shen Peiqing became even more annoyed.
At this moment, the person they were discussing did not leave Dongzhou, but came to Dongdu instead.
In a magnificent palace, fragrant mist slowly flows out from an exquisite incense burner carved with various exotic beasts.
Lying on her side on the bench, Rong Yingxin was wearing a gauze dress, with her long black hair casually draped at her side, looking lazy.
But such a charming posture with a baby face seemed a bit artificial and totally inconsistent with her appearance.
{Host, the next task is to gain Xuanyuan Zhi's trust and help the Third Prince of Dongzhou, Xuanyuan Zhi, successfully ascend the throne. This will allow you to completely seize 20% of Rong Su's heroine halo.}
Rong Yingxin glanced at the task and didn't seem to find it difficult at all, as if she was sure of winning.
"Xuanyuan Zhi, this ambitious and lustful guy, it would be easy for him to trust me."
{Host, please review the question. The main purpose is to help Xuanyuan Zhi sit on the dragon throne.}
The system's nagging made her irritated. Rong Yingxin always felt that the system was like an old nanny, ordering her around. She really hated this feeling.
"I know, I know."
Rong Yingxin always looks impatient, and the system has been unhappy with her for a long time, but it has no choice but to bind itself to such a host.
Both of them, like master and servant, have their own complaints.
