Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 827 The aloof Master Ning
The appointment was made at the corner gate in the northeast corner of Dali Temple.

When Shen Qian saw Ning Xiuyuan sitting in the carriage, he was slightly startled, and then he understood - after hearing that His Majesty was ill, he became more and more fond of the young Imperial Master and asked him to come to the palace to accompany him every day. Speaking of which, even Pingyang County Prince did not receive such treatment.

The young adult sitting in the carriage gave people a completely different feeling from when they met at his house before.

At that time, he still seemed to be a very talented, humble and polite young man. Now, sitting in the carriage with his back straight and his chin slightly raised, but with his eyebrows lowered and serious smile, he looked very much like a popular dignitary in front of His Majesty. Shen Qian was about to step forward, but the guard beside him raised his hand to stop him, and whispered, "The Emperor's Master has given orders, you can just stand here."

Shen Qian was stunned again before he suddenly realized what situation he was in now.

But I was so anxious that I even thought about going to see His Majesty.

He lowered his head, straightened his clothes, stood there, bowed slightly, and said to Ning Xiuyuan, "I don't know, Lord Ning, come here, does His Majesty have something to tell you?"

Ning Xiuyuan turned his head and looked away. He raised his hand that was resting on the car window and waved it. The guard was very discerning and went down. Ning Xiuyuan looked lazily at Shen Qian, his eyes slightly lowered for a moment, and then he sighed softly and asked, "How is your lady's condition?"

Shen Qian was slightly startled again. He and Ning Xiuyuan didn't have much contact, but they were both officials in the court, and they always met each other without looking up. Later, because of Luo Xin's friendship with Miss Ji, they were no longer strangers. . But today was the first time he heard Ning Xiuyuan call Xu Siniang "Mrs.", distant, calm, polite, and even strange.

High and above.

Shen Qian lowered his head and said, "It's still the same. Doctor Qin wrote the prescription and is still taking it. The medicine is also sent out every day, but there is no improvement at all. He has obviously lost a lot of weight... so he just I want to meet His Majesty, but I wonder if there are other imperial doctors in this court..."

"Other imperial doctors?" Ning Xiuyuan did not look at Shen Qian. He rested his hand on the window frame to support his chin and laughed in a low voice with an unpredictable expression. "The imperial physician Qin is the head of the hospital. He was originally in charge of His Majesty's dragon body. . Now Your Majesty is considerate of Your Majesty and has sent Imperial Physician Qin to come over... Lord Shen should know that after this Imperial Physician Qin went to Dali Temple, he could no longer enter the palace to serve His Majesty. Now Lord Shen is dissatisfied with the head of the hospital. I want to change to another imperial doctor, but have you ever thought about His Majesty? Or...since meeting me, Sir Shen, have you ever asked His Majesty if the dragon is in good health?"

Shen Qian was speechless.

He knew that his request was indeed unreasonable, but he thought that even if he risked losing his hat or even his head by threatening His Majesty with what happened back then, he would give it a try.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty did not receive him, but Ning Xiuyuan came in person, and he was still like this... Ning Xiuyuan, who was a bit fearful, couldn't use the rhetoric he had prepared early in the morning. Unexpectedly, his mind was also slow. He was said to be Left speechless. After a long while, he cupped his hands in the direction of the emperor's palace and said, "Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings. Even if you are temporarily ill, you will be healthy soon."

"Ha... Mr. Shen will save these high-sounding words for you to talk to His Majesty later." Ning Xiuyuan put down the hand supporting his chin and finally looked sideways at Shen Qian, who was standing within the threshold. His dark pupils were hard to detect. The look of pity passed away in a flash. He rubbed his fingertips and said, "My lady is a master, and she obviously knows a lot about pharmacology. If it is a common disease, my lady can prescribe the medicine herself, so there is no need to bother." Anyone. But now there is an epidemic... The capital of Qin Yuan is helpless. Who else can turn the tide? Doctor Chen also went, and several young people from the Chen family also moved to the Ji family. Just like that, there was still little effect..." Probably after hearing the news about his daughter, Shen Qian subconsciously looked up, and he happened to face her directly. The other person’s sight.

This young man is sitting firmly in the carriage, in the shadows where the sun cannot reach him. His skin is too white, which makes his eyes darker and more profound. When he looks at people, he seems to be able to see into your heart. of. Even though he had been an official for many years, he felt that he had developed the ability to remain calm about favors and humiliations, and to keep his emotions and anger intangible, but he still felt timid when he suddenly saw them.

Ning Xiuyuan...

People say that Mr. Ning is high-spirited and arrogant, but they don't know that his past image is just that he was deliberately low-key and restrained. This is the real Third Master of the Ning family, a man who was called "Master" by people in Yanjing City at a young age. He is cold and dignified, sitting on the top of a mountain, overlooking the common people.

In the past, I had underestimated myself.

Shen Qian slowly raised his hands and bent down, "Shen is stupid and clumsy. Please give me some advice from Mr. Ning."

"Ta, tap..." The sound of fingertips tapping on the car window echoed for a long time in this small alley where no one usually travels.

Ning Xiuyuan didn't speak. He only looked at the man who had suddenly aged a lot through a car window and a wooden door. The man still maintained a slightly bent look, humble and weak.

Ning Xiuyuan has never been a person who is particularly obsessed with power, and he doesn't like to watch others grovel to him. Otherwise, he would not be so "idle and not doing his job" in these years. Shen Qian is one of the few relatively clean people in the court, and one of the few "understanding people". He is good at poetry, good wine, and beautiful women.

He really didn't want to embarrass such a person.

I came here today, firstly, to hammer and make the other party feel more at ease here, so as not to make any trouble for him and delay his affairs. Secondly, it was also to remind him.

"The Crown Prince is grounded, but his mind is still active. I have received news in the past two days that His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to investigate the boy who was carrying the box next to the Madam. It must be to investigate the affairs of the late Crown Princess... ...If my guess is correct, I am afraid that within a few days, the prince's people will come to ask your lady... Your lady can think of countermeasures in advance in case of emergencies. "That's all he said. As a reminder, even if Shen Qian didn't understand the unfinished words, Xu Siniang would definitely understand.

Just think of it as a little compensation from your own side to the Shen and his wife.

Shen Qian obviously understood. He was stunned for a moment and then said seriously, "My daughter is temporarily staying at Ji's house, and I am grateful to you and Miss Ji to take care of her. Shen would like to thank you." After saying that, he bowed to the end.
