Chapter 7 Gentleman

After a flurry of fuss, several boys helped Li Mingji to lie down on the bed. Chun Rui ordered the guards to hurry up and invite the imperial doctor to the Hou Mansion.

The imperial doctor checked his pulse several times, relaxed his frown, and said that Li Mingji's injury was not fundamental, but just a lack of Qi and blood, and that he should pay attention to rest and not be overworked.

But his injuries were really terrible. Shu Yao didn't believe the imperial doctor's judgment, so she frowned and asked the imperial doctor to keep a lot of medicine for the injuries. He also ordered people to go to the storehouse to get ginseng and deer antlers to make soup for Li Mingji.

After working for most of the afternoon, her temples were wet with sweat. Chun Rui wiped Shu Yao's face with a handkerchief. Song Needle came in with a food box, "Princess, the eldest princess of Ruyang has sent over iced lychees. Do you want to try them?"

The frozen lychees were sizzling in the air-conditioning, which was very refreshing. Shu Yao sat next to her, with a maid fanning her and a maid peeling the lychees for her. It was very pleasant.

When Li Mingji woke up, he saw this scene.

The girl's cherry lips were slightly opened, biting the pulp, her lips were delicate and moist, exuding a sweet fragrance.

He had tasted it too many times in his previous life and knew the taste. Li Mingji's eyes were dim and his breathing was heavy.

He didn't care if he had to start over again, as long as she was still by his side...

"Are you awake?"

Seeing him open his eyes, Shu Yao's eyes lit up, and she ordered someone to bring the stewed tonic soup to Li Mingji, "The imperial doctor said that you have insufficient Qi and blood, so I ordered someone to stew it specially. Please take good care of it."

Li Mingji thanked him warmly, as if the darkness in his eyes had never appeared.

As expected, the son whom Li Shilang taught was as dull and pedantic as he was, and his every move showed dignity and propriety.

However, Shu Yao had seen many "gentlemen" in the palace, but none of them were as pleasing to the eye as the Li Mingji in front of her. After thinking about it, it was probably because those young men were not as good-looking as Li Mingji.

Whatever good-looking people do makes people feel comfortable. Shu Yao held her chin and watched Li Mingji attentively drinking soup, occasionally feeding a lychee to a pine needle. Chun Rui came in from outside, squatted down, and whispered a few words to Shu Yao.

A special visitor came to the Hou Mansion, she was Li Shilang's wife, and she should have come to take Li Mingji back.

This house is not big, and they have no intention of hiding it from Li Mingji. After Chunrui finished speaking, Shu Yao glanced at Li Mingji and said, "Your mother is here, do you want me to bring her here?"

Li Mingji said: "It all depends on the princess."

Shu Yao has been pampered since she was a child. Although she rarely shows it externally, she shows her coquettish and overbearing attitude in many things. For example, she doesn't like Shu Ningyou being close to her childhood playmate, and doesn't want the person she is taking care of to be taken away so soon.

But obviously, the young man in front of him is knowledgeable enough.

The corners of Shu Yao's lips curled up slightly, and she told Li Mingji to have a good rest and leave someone to take care of him, while she asked Songzhen Chunrui to tidy up her appearance and walked into the front yard gracefully and calmly.

Before stepping through the door, I heard Pan's soft voice:

"Mrs. Li is so polite. We already have these things in our house, so why do you need to spend money? The accident was originally caused by the princess's naughty nature. It is also appropriate to ask someone to treat the son's injury. Speaking of which, I should make amends to the son on behalf of the princess.

no."

This tone of voice is so familiar and comfortable, and it seems to be submissive, but in fact it is full of contempt. Pan is used to this.

Only Shu Jing thought she was gentle, kind and considerate.

Chun Rui caught her eye and sang: "Princess Huaxi has arrived!"

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

The two maids beside Shu Yao were personally selected by the emperor and were taught by the female officials in the palace since childhood. Song Zhen was as careful as a hair and could speak well, while Chun Rui practiced martial arts with the servant when she was young. She was also taller than ordinary women and had a strong voice.

Full of energy and momentum.

Seeing her coming in, Pan quickly stood up and greeted her with a smile, "Why is the princess here?"

The two maids, one on the left and one on the right, followed Shu Yao into the main seat. Song Needle also took out a handkerchief to wipe the seat, and took out a soft cushion before helping Shu Yao sit down.

"Auntie, it's so lively here."

Shu Yao smiled and looked down.

Sitting next to Mrs. Pan was a woman, dressed plainly, with her hands restlessly on her legs, looking very embarrassed.

The woman also brought a tall young man with her. When she saw Shu Yao, surprise appeared on her face. Then she raised her eyebrows frivolously, cupped her hands and said:

"I've met the princess."

Shu Yao didn't look at him.

Pan smiled slightly and said: "The princess is joking, just because of the matter of Erlang of the Li family. Mrs. Li brought Li Dalang here, and I must explain everything clearly."

Viciousness flashed across her eyes.

Pan was always embarrassed when Shu Yao was around. Since she was not the head wife, she didn't even dare to sit on the throne. Shu Yao's distinguished status was there, and without Shu Jing's support, Pan would naturally not ask for trouble.

Songzhen said: "Mrs. Pan, just leave Li Erlang's affairs to our princess. Our princess also hired a doctor for Li Erlang this afternoon, how can we neglect him? You have already brought him back to your house, our princess

I have always been kind-hearted, so I am naturally responsible to the end.”

Mrs. Pan smiled softly: "If that's the case, I'll be relieved."

Shu Yao suddenly said: "Mrs. Li."

From the moment she entered the door, Mrs. Li kept her head lowered, not daring to look at her. When she was suddenly called by name, her shoulders shook in shock and she whispered: "Princess, Princess."

"Does Mrs. Li want to take Li Erlang back to her home?" Shu Yao said, "Li Erlang is living well in the Hou Mansion, and there are imperial doctors to diagnose and treat him. He will stay in the Hou Mansion until he recovers from his injury."

With one sentence, she determined Li Mingji's whereabouts. She glanced at Pan again, "As for my aunt, she was so worried about Li Erlang, so she went with me to see if he was in need of me."

Are you missing an arm or a leg?"

*

Pear courtyard.

Li Mingji, who was still weak and lying on the bed when Shu Yao left, now straightened up, leaned against the bed, and slowly wiped a dagger.

The dagger was shiny, reflecting his sharp eyebrows.

Kneeling in front of him was a man dressed as a servant. His lips were pale and he trembled as he said, "Second, the second young master has already done what you asked. The eldest young master has not noticed."

This is the book boy of the Li Mansion, who has been with Li Dalang and Li Mingxuan since he was a child. After the Li family's mother and son came to the Hou Mansion, he was taken to Liluoyuan to inquire about Li Mingji's situation on behalf of Li Mingxuan.

A few days ago, Li Mingxuan conspired with several dandy boys to drag Li Mingji into a dark alley and beat him unconscious. As Li Mingxuan's confidant, the bookboy was responsible for finding a suitable opportunity for Li Mingxuan to strike.

Just when the book boy wanted to trick Li Mingji into coming out with an excuse, Li Mingji suddenly pulled out a dagger and put it at his neck. As a result, the place where Li Mingji was beaten changed from a dark alley to a racecourse on the outskirts of the city. The book boy thought that Li Mingji was fast.

He died, but he stood up like a normal person, coughing up blood, and cut the horse's reins with a dagger.

It wasn't until the book boy heard that Li Mingji was taken to the Hou Mansion that he suddenly understood his purpose. But the book boy didn't dare to think too much, because Li Mingji didn't even care about his own life, he was just a pure lunatic.

Li Mingji hummed lightly.

Seeing the complicated expression on the book boy's face, he chuckled lightly and drew an afterimage in the air with his dagger, "Don't think too much about things you shouldn't think about, you know?"

The book boy's legs went weak and his head hit the ground deeply: "I understand, little one."
