Late May.

The weather was getting hotter, but the bed in Su Xuqing's room was covered with spring and autumn quilts. Even so, Shen Xuanheng sometimes had cold hands and feet and asked Su Xuqing to get into bed with him.

Sometimes Su Xuqing couldn't resist him, so she went in and let him take advantage of her for a while, and then she gasped for breath from the heat and was covered in sweat.

At night, Su Xuqing refused to go to bed no matter what and could only sleep on the floor with a mat, which made Shen Xuanheng sigh and feel very sad.

Although Su Xuqing sometimes blamed Shen Xuanheng for being restless, she was happy in her heart, because since he was able to talk nonsense, it meant that his health was getting better and better.

During the days of recuperation, the old princess found a lot of precious medicinal herbs, and even Liang Heng from Tianxing Pavilion sent people to deliver medicinal herbs.

Su Xuqing suddenly felt that Liang Heng was a very nice person.

"Ma'am, I feel a little discomfort in my shoulder."

Shen Xuanheng lay on the bed with a frown on his face.

Upon hearing this, Su Xuqing hurried over, bent down, pushed aside his lining and took a look, then reached out and gently kneaded it.

"Is it uncomfortable here?"

Shen Xuanheng's beautiful eyes were filled with a smile, and he suddenly stood up and kissed her on the cheek.

"Okay, it's okay."

Su Xuqing pinched her waist angrily. These past few days, Shen Xuanheng had been taking advantage of her in various ways, and she was fooled every time, but Dangdang was different!

"You just know how to bully me every day. I won't feed you today!"

Shen Xuanheng sighed when he heard this, "Then let me starve."

Su Xuqing puffed up her cheeks, feeling that this could not threaten him at all. Instead, she ended up feeling sorry for him.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Shen Xuanheng stretched out his hand to pinch Su Xuqing's face, but he couldn't reach it. He exerted force suddenly, then took a breath and frowned.

"What's wrong, husband? Are you having a cramp?"

Su Xuqing was so worried that she quickly sat down on the edge of the bed.

As a result, Shen Xuanheng suddenly reached out and pinched her face, laughing.

"Ahhh!"

Su Xuqing went crazy for a while and was tricked again.

Shen Xuanheng smiled complacently, then slowly said: "Madam, I heard that the method you used to treat me was learned from an old Taoist priest?"

Su Xuqing nodded and pulled his hand away from her face.

Shen Xuanheng groaned, "Since it's a life-saving grace, I must thank him after I recover."

"That may be difficult."

Su Xuqing said helplessly, "The day after you regained consciousness, I sent people to look for you, but the soldiers at the gate said that you had already left the capital and I don't know where you went."

As she spoke, Su Xuqing seemed to have thought of something, and then asked, "Husband, who is this person? Is he an old immortal from some mountain?"

Shen Xuanheng was stunned for a moment, "You ask me? I haven't seen him..."

"Have you seen him?"

"Of course... Why do you think I've seen him?"

The two of them stared at each other with confusion in their eyes, and then Su Xuqing took out the yellowed paper with the message on it.

"Since you haven't met him, why did he leave this sentence?"

Shen Xuanheng was stunned when she saw the old Taoist's rumors. "Thank you for the wine from your husband. When have I ever invited him to drink..."

Halfway through his words, Shen Xuanheng suddenly recalled this memory and couldn't help but gasp.

Half a month ago, he took over the Tianxing Pavilion again. After dealing with the internal traitor, he took the wine to the street. In the end, he felt that carrying the wine gourd with him was a hindrance, so he threw it on a Taoist stall on the street...

Could it be that Taoist priest?

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Xuanheng became more and more uneasy, because he was traveling outside using the identity of Liang Heng at the time, but when he was injured that day, he was the ninth son of King Zhennan.

If these two Taoists are the same person, doesn't it mean that my identity has been seen through by this person?

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly all of a sudden?"

Su Xuqing looked puzzled, spoke with concern, and reached out to wipe the cold sweat off his face.

Shen Xuanheng seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and said meaningfully: "He is really an expert. I didn't expect that I just threw away a gourd of wine, but saved my life."

Hearing this, Su Xuqing narrowed her eyes slightly and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on his waist.

"Tell me the truth, when did you drink secretly?"

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, please spare me, ma'am!"

Shen Xuanheng begged for mercy quickly, looking pitiful.

Su Xuqing snorted softly and raised her fist, "Next time if I find you again, I will make you realize how powerful I am."

Shen Xuanheng laughed loudly, "I know, I know, Madam is the best."

After a short play, Su Xuqing went out to cook medicine. Shen Xuanheng lay on the bed and kicked away the quilt, wondering about the origins of the old Taoist priest. However, this person was elusive and it was impossible to guess whether he had left any clues.

"Forget it. If this person has evil intentions, why would he save me?"

After realizing this, Shen Xuanheng stopped worrying about it. He made a "cooing" sound, and soon a pigeon flew in from outside.

He picked out a charcoal pencil from the gap between the bed boards, wrote a letter with it, and put it into the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg.

Although they were able to escape danger this time, the culprit has not been found yet. Shen Xuanheng will never let go of anyone who tried to hurt Su Xuqing. This matter must be thoroughly investigated!

The pigeon flapped its wings and flew high towards the Tianxing Pavilion.

The kitchen in the palace was filled with the aroma of medicine.

The medicine that Shen Xuanheng takes every day is cooked by Su Xuqing herself. She would not trust it if it were given to someone else.

In front of the burning stove in the small courtyard, medicinal herbs were bubbling in the black pottery pot. Su Xuqing took a cattail leaf fan to increase the fire. The hot summer day and the high temperature made her sweat profusely.

"lady!"

A familiar voice came, and Su Xuqing turned around and found that it was Yinhuan who came back.

Yinhuan walked quickly into the yard, her eyes red and her mouth puffed out like a duckling.

"What's wrong? You're crying right after you got back?"

Yinhuan cried out "Wow", then knelt down in front of Su Xuqing, "Madam, I heard from the housekeeper that it was all because of me that you were attacked when you came back, and the prince vomited blood and fainted. I have been at home all these days and have not been able to help at all. Madam, please hit me and scold me!"

Su Xuqing laughed and reached out to pinch her cheek. When she did this, she suddenly understood Shen Xuanheng a little. You know what, it felt great.

"Someone is harboring evil intentions and wants to harm me. Even if it weren't for your incident that gave them the opportunity, they would have found another opportunity to do something to me. It has nothing to do with whether I go to your house or not."

Su Xuqing reached out to wipe away her tears, but the black ash on her hand left a 'deep' eye shadow on her eyes...

"Well, actually, it's all thanks to the fact that we are near your village. If it weren't for the right time and place, I really might not be able to escape danger."

"really?"
