Chapter 205 Hemophobia
Chapter 205 Hemophobia
Looking at the eunuch kneeling on the ground with cold sweat soaking his back, Zhu Yanxiao said silently, "Is it you, a servant, who confessed voluntarily or did this prince find a way to make you confess?"
“Please spare my life, my slave knows nothing. Please spare my life, my slave knows nothing. Please spare my life.” The eunuch kept knocking his head noisily, repeating the same thing over and over again.
"Xingyun." Zhu Yanxiao didn't say much.
Xingyun stepped forward, bent down, and pried open the eunuch's palms, letting the five fingers come together and touch the ground. Before Shen Shenshen could react, Xingyun's feet had already stepped on the fingers and palms, and he turned his feet from time to time to ensure that the force on the stepped fingers and palms was evenly distributed.
"Ah~~~~" A eunuch screamed in his unique sharp voice.
Zhu Yanxiao raised his hand, and Xingyun stopped moving. "Speak."
The eunuch was breathing heavily, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead. "Slave, I really don't know, please, Master Zhu, give me a quick death."
Zhu Yanxiao didn't waste any words and gave Xingyun a wink.
Shen Shen was a little reluctant. She had never seen a prisoner being tortured in real life. She had seen it in movies and TV series in her previous life, but she knew it was just acting. After watching it live today, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Zhu Yanxiao clearly felt that Shen Shenshen's face turned pale, and said, "Wait a minute." Xingyun stopped and looked at his master.
"Shen Shen is not feeling well?"
"Yeah, it feels a bit uncomfortable." Shen Shenshen's eyes drifted to the eunuch's purple fingers and palms, and he felt even more uncomfortable. He raised his eyes and saw Zhu Yanxiao's arm covered in blood. He heard the rustling sound of the tree shadows swaying, and felt very dizzy. He suddenly fell towards Zhu Yanxiao.
Before he fainted, he heard Zhu Yanxiao's exasperated voice: "God, God. God, God. Quick, find the imperial physician and wait for him in the palace."
She suddenly remembered that she had blood phobia in her previous life. She forgot about it when she was attacked by the monkey just now. When she was bandaging Zhu Yanxiao's wound, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. She was still worried. Could she be pregnant? Now that she relaxed, she finally remembered that she had such a problem in her previous life.
At the Marquis An's Mansion, Madam Shen heard that her second daughter had fainted in the royal enclosure. She was worried about her daughter and would never allow Shen Shenshen to spend the night at Prince Zhong's Mansion. She said to the visitor, "This is outrageous. Shen'er is my own daughter. How can she be kept in the mansion by the prince after fainting and not returning home? I will go to the mansion myself to get her back." Then she ordered Ban Xing to prepare the carriage.
Rui Huang, the maidservant at Xunyu Cottage, had long regarded Shen Shenshen as the Crown Prince's Consort, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Madam Shen, the Crown Prince's arm was scratched while trying to save the Crown Prince's Consort. The Prince has invited the imperial physician from the palace to treat the Crown Prince. Miss Shen fainted but is not seriously injured at the moment. I would like to ask Madam Shen to wait for the Marquis to come back and ask him what he thinks. If you really want to pick her up, it's not too late. With the imperial physician here, the Crown Prince's Consort will be well protected in the Marquis' mansion."
"Prince Zhu's arm was scratched? This...this...Is Shen'er okay? Who would want to hurt a woman?" Madam Shen became even more worried. Shen Caizi, who was sitting nearby and chatting with her mother, lowered her eyes and listened, but her eyes kept flickering.
"I don't know much more, I can only say that the Crown Prince's Consort is fine. The Marquis will be back soon, and I think Madam Bi wants to discuss this matter with the Marquis, so I'll take my leave first." After saying this, she bowed and left the main courtyard.
"Miss Ruihuang, let me see you off." Lianhe was smart. She immediately went forward with a smile and escorted the maid out of the house.
Shen Shenshen actually slept very soundly this time. She had not had a good rest for several days. She was busy with the operation of Heyinlou during the day to help His Majesty earn money for herself. At night, she was tormented by "my Ziyuan". After fainting from blood today, she slept well. Another reason for her good sleep was that Xunyu Cottage was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. All the servants dared not make any sound except panting.
Because the owner of the yard, the prince, had a face so dark that it was unbearable to look at. They all knew that if they made any noise that disturbed Second Miss Shen's rest, the grass on their graves would grow taller than their waists next year.
An hour ago, the prince carried Miss Shen back to the palace.
The sleeve of Prince Zhu Yanxiao's precious sky-blue robe was torn, his arm was covered in blood, and the Second Miss Shen in his arms was unconscious.
The eldest son, who was raised in the palm of the hands of the prince and princess and had never been hurt, today had half of his robe stained with blood.
The whole Prince Zhong's mansion was in turmoil. The princess almost "ran" to Xunyu Cottage, looking left and right at her eldest son, tears streaming down her face. The prince was called back from the Ministry of Revenue, and even Concubine Huo and the other two concubines came to visit the prince, but it was unknown whether they were sincere.
The imperial physician in the palace was urged several times and rushed to the prince's palace. He was shocked to see the prince's injuries and was about to stitch and bandage the prince's body, but was stopped by Zhu Yanxiao.
"Doctor Gao, please take a look at why Miss Shen suddenly fainted today."
"Let me bandage your wound first. Your arm is at risk of infection."
"This prince has made it very clear. Let's take a look at Miss Shen first." Zhu Yanxiao's face darkened.
"Doctor Gao, just do as Ziyuan says." The prince said helplessly.
"Yes, Your Highness." Well, since his own father said so, why should he worry about it.
The princess looked at her eldest son's lost appearance, sighed softly, and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.
The head maid Qingsuo pulled out half of Miss Shen's arm from the quilt, put a handkerchief under it, and Doctor Gao stepped forward to take her pulse.
He took the pulse left and right for half a cup of tea.
Zhu Yanxiao looked at the doctor and kept saying "Huh" and "That shouldn't be the case." He felt flustered and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"
Doctor Gao stood up, his eyes dodging as he said, "My Lord, Princess, and Prince, this Second Miss Shen... this Second Miss Shen..."
"Speak. If you keep hesitating, I will kill you."
"Yes, yes, yes." He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said tremblingly: "Miss Shen Er, she...she...fell asleep."
"Falling asleep?" everyone asked in unison.
"Impossible. She fainted right in front of me. I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake?" Zhu Yanxiao gritted his teeth. "What a lousy imperial physician. I think he is a fraud. He not only deceived the palace, but also deceived His Majesty. Someone, drag this quack out and behead him."
"Please spare my life, my lord. Everything I said is true." He knelt down with a plop, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "May I ask, lord, did you bleed a lot before Miss Shen fainted?"
"so what?"
"My Lord, that's right. I have seen records in ancient books that the Second Miss Shen is suffering from hemophobia."
"Hemophobia? Humph, could it be that Imperial Doctor Gao made it up to save his own life?" Zhu Yanxiao sneered. At this moment, he was already beginning to have murderous intent.
Doctor Gao had been in the palace for a long time, so how could he not know what was going on? He immediately explained, "Prince, this disease is extremely rare. It does not affect your life on weekdays. You will faint only when you see a lot of blood. I don't know if Second Miss Shen has been busy preparing for her wedding with you recently. It seems that she has not rested much at night recently, so she fainted and... fell asleep."
At first, Zhu Yanxiao was still sneering as he listened to the doctor's explanation, but when he heard "I didn't get much rest at night", his expression suddenly froze. Well, the prince finally realized why Shen Shenshen fell asleep.
It turns out that I am the culprit.
"Are you serious, Doctor Gao?" Zhu Yanxiao showed an expression that showed that the prince still didn't quite believe it.
Seeing that the prince was relieved, Doctor Gao said hurriedly, "It is absolutely true. Prince, you can wait until Miss Shen wakes up and ask her if she has this disease. If what I said is false, it won't be too late to tie me up immediately."
Zhu Yanxiao knew he was in the wrong, so Imperial Doctor Gao gave him a way out and changed the subject, "Also. Imperial Doctor Gao, please get up."
"Doctor Gao, you can take a look at the prince's injuries now." The princess interrupted. Since the prince's wife who had seduced the eldest son's soul away was fine, then her son must be the most important.
"Yes, Princess, I will treat the prince's wound right away." Doctor Gao took the medicine box and began to bandage Zhu Yanxiao's wounds caused by the monkey.
An hour later, Imperial Physician Gao said goodbye, and the prince and princess returned to the main courtyard after seeing that their eldest son was fine.
Zhu Yanxiao ordered Qingsuo: "Keep a good eye on Second Miss Shen. When Ruihuang returns from the Marquis' Mansion, you two will take turns watching her. If she wakes up, immediately ask Liushui to notify this prince."
"Yes." Qingsuo didn't dare to neglect Miss Shen Er at all.
"Also, tell everyone in the yard that if anyone makes a noise that disturbs Second Miss Shen's rest, they will be killed immediately."
