Chapter 177 Night Rain Walk (1)

Fuquan led her to go back again, and entered another door. The room was a little dim, and there were no candles lit.Shu Yao's gaze adjusted for a while, only to realize that Emperor Zhao was sitting right in front of her, staring at her.

She was taken aback, and quickly knelt down to salute, but she heard his Lang Lang's laughter and said, "Mr. Mo Li, don't need to be too polite!"

Fuquan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, but her ceremony could not go on.

In the dim light, Shu Yao looked at Emperor Zhao, he was really skinny, if it wasn't for his eyes shining in the dark, he would have doubted whether the person sitting in front of him was a human or a ghost.Shu Yao can imagine how many illnesses and tortures a person has experienced after becoming this appearance.

She looked at Emperor Zhao and said:

"Is the official family suffering from old illnesses?"

Emperor Zhao raised his eyebrows, she didn't know this? Did Shen Junzhuo not tell her, or did he ask this on purpose?Regardless, he still had a pleasant face and said:

"I was wounded by an arrow in my early years." After a pause, he asked again:
"Isn't it alright now?"

Shu Yao nodded and said:

"The lesions were left at that time. But the official family has been sleeping badly, sweating at night, and dull during the day?"

You are right, she does have some tricks, and the discomfort he tried so hard to hide was revealed to her without a doubt.Emperor Zhao was a little embarrassed, noncommittal, and only said to Fuquan who was standing behind Shu Yao:
"Miss Li's benevolence is a reward! Go outside and get my picture of eight birds and give it to Miss Li."

Fuquan responded yes, and was busy going out to get things.Only Shu Yao and Emperor Zhao were left, and Emperor Zhao said politely:
"Mr. Mo Li, please sit down."

Shu Yao smiled, found a place to sit down, and said:

"Officials don't have to be so polite, it's the right thing for courtiers to do."

should?Will she think that these are what she deserves, not in exchange for something?Emperor Zhao looked at her meaningfully, and in the dim light, he saw her eyes full of autumn water, showing sincerity and calmness.

There was a sudden movement in his heart, and he didn't dare to look her in the eyes anymore, and avoided her eyes in a panic, just when Fuquan came in, he gave an order to clap the lamps.

Fuquan gestured to the outside, and some maids filed in and lit the lamp trees in the room.

Fuquan handed the painting in his hand to Shu Yao with both hands. Shu Yao was about to kneel down to thank him when Emperor Zhao waved his hand and said:

"Don't thank me, just treat it as a kindness between ordinary friends."

Shu Yao was taken aback, and Fuquan who was standing opposite had already smiled and stuffed the scroll into her hand.Shu Yao hesitated for a moment, that's all, it was Emperor Zhao's wish, if she refused too much, she would be petty, and if she lost her honesty, Shu Yao graciously accepted it.

The next step was pulse diagnosis. Shu Yao made a careful diagnosis, slightly adjusted the previous prescription, handed it over to Fuquan, and explained to him how to decoct the medicine and what not to eat. It took a while to finish.

Without further words, Shu Yao bid farewell to Emperor Zhao.Emperor Zhao nodded with a smile and watched her leave the hall.

……

……

Shen Minghe never thought that he and Shen Junzhuo would meet again like this one day.He came back from drinking outside, pushed open the door with a belch, and suddenly saw a person sitting in the room, his eyes dazed, and he thought it was the old man, and he was half sober after a shock.

After a closer look, it was clear that the person sitting there was Shen Junzhuo.

He took a deep breath, put the small wine jar in his hand on the table beside Shen Junzhuo, and said:
"Why did brother come here? When did you come?"

"Brother" immediately reminded Shen Junzhuo a lot.When he was young, he went out with his elder brother. At that time, he was short and had to be hugged when he got on and off the carriage. In other families, servants would hug such a small master. Only he was always carried by his elder brother himself.

He runs fast, and often does not look at his feet. When he falls, his elder brother will help him up and softly coax him, saying a word, brother, be good, don't cry, brother will buy you candied haws to eat...

He also climbed onto his shoulders, sat on his shoulders to watch the sunrise and sunset with him, and listened to him talk about Pangu, Nuwa, and Houyi...

What a gentle and generous man his elder brother is, what he lacked in love from his strict father, he has made up for in him.
