After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 207 Chapter 207
I thought he must be very annoyed.

The guilty Shen Qingci didn't even bother to look at his face.

Her trembling hand was about to retract, but he squeezed it tightly.

"Be careful."

Sheng Tingye supported her shoulder with one hand and her hand with the other, and led her away from the ship's side.

Shen Qingci's ears turned redder.

"Feel sorry."

She really didn't mean to.

"Ah."

Sheng Tingye responded lightly, with a cold tone as usual: "There is no need to say thank you between you and me."

He was not angry.

Moreover, he said such misleading words again.

Shen Qingci's mind was in a mess, and he had already brought his body into the cabin.

This is a cargo ship, the bow and stern are neatly piled with cargo, only the cabin in the middle is separated by wooden boards, which are used as several simple compartments.

It's not just them, besides the boatmen, there are also many merchants on the boat who are on their way.

Most people, though, gathered at the stern, warming themselves around a charcoal basin with their backs against the cargo.

Shen Qingci and the others were at the bow of the boat because there was no one there because it was facing the wind.

After returning to the cubicle, Shen Qingci sat down firmly, and Sheng Tingye ordered Qingsong who was waiting outside to go to the boatman for some medicine and methods to prevent dizziness and vomiting.

Shen Qingci had already emptied his stomach by now.

Although my head was still dizzy, it was much better than before.

It was only then that he remembered that he had checked his own pulse before.

"Sir, how is my body?"

She always felt that something was wrong.

But she didn't understand medicine after all, so she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"The breath is a little messy."

Sheng Tingye sat down in front of the table beside him, "It's a little... strange."

Shen Qingci also knew that his body, which had used glass fire beads, was different from ordinary people.

She was about to say that she was prone to sleepiness recently, but she saw Sheng Tingye took out a small oil paper bag from her arms.

After opening it, I saw that there was a square of handkerchief wrapped inside.

It was exactly the one that Gao Nanny gave to Shen Qingci in Fengyi Palace before.

"What's the clue of this veil?"

Shen Qingci didn't see anything special at the time, but he thought that since Madam Gao gave it to her, she probably wanted her to take it to Qingzhou, waiting to "use it".

Since Sheng Tingye still wrapped it in oiled paper, there must be something wrong.

Unfolding the veil, there was also an antidote pill for cedar poison given by Nanny Gao.

As if afraid of Shen Qingci's impatience, Sheng Tingye didn't show off this time.

He said succinctly: "The veil has been soaked in poison. If you didn't know it and took it with you to Qingzhou, this journey alone could damage your body."

Sheng Tingye paused for a while when he said "the body is damaged", and finally added: "It is difficult to have an heir."

Shen Qingci took a breath.

This trick is too ruthless!
I still remember that day when the queen was in Fengyi Palace and urged Shen Qingci earnestly to spread branches and leaves for the royal family earlier... Who could have imagined that she would let Gao Nai give Shen Qingci the medicine for infertility.

After all, she is Sheng Tingye's biological mother.

How could such a thing be done!

It turned out that this veil was not for her to take it to deal with Qingzhou royal family, but for her.

To be precise, it was aimed at Sheng Tingye.

Shen Qingci was still in shock, but Sheng Tingye said again: "Not only that, but also this."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and picked up the cedar poison antidote pill in the veil.

"I have already asked Lu Kui to identify it. Someone has tampered with it, and it is also poisoned with the same poison as this veil."

Shen Qingci's hands and feet were cold.

She might not wear that handkerchief close to her body, but if it wasn't because of her special physique and Sheng Tingye's antidote, the queen was sure that she would not miss this "only" source of antidote.

Tackling the antidote... What a ruthless plan.

After saying this, Sheng Tingye looked at Shen Qingci with a bit of worry in his eyes.

"I even suspected that your inner breath disorder might be the result of their secret manipulation."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci immediately denied it: "Probably not, I am especially cautious after entering the palace."

In fact, it was she who understood her special constitution, and those poisons could not do anything to her.

Sheng Tingye nodded slightly: "Besides, if you think about it carefully, if they had already succeeded, they wouldn't have arranged these things."

Shen Qingci nodded.

Sheng Tingye turned his head and looked out of the window through the half-rolled curtain, so Shen Qingci couldn't see the chill in his eyes at this moment.

Although Sheng Tingye didn't say anything, Shen Qingci could vaguely feel that he was in a low mood.

Although it was a little out of place, she still couldn't help asking in a low voice: "The queen... why did she do this?"

This is no longer just a matter of eccentricity.

What she did before contacting her clearly had the intention of killing Sheng Tingye.

Shen Qingci thought of the "story" that Sheng Tingzhao hadn't had time to tell in the Imperial Garden yesterday.

Thinking of his sentence - "Then you know why my mother's queen and my grandfather Wang's family don't like him, and even want to target him."

Shen Qingci felt like a stick in his throat, like sitting on pins and needles.

However, she waited for a long time, but she couldn't wait for Sheng Tingye's response.

Just when she thought he would not answer, she saw him suddenly turn his head, meet her gaze, and said in a cold tone as usual: "I don't know."

At this moment, his dark eyes were full of sincerity.

It's not perfunctory to prevaricate her, nor is it to deceive her.

He really doesn't know.

It's just that the more he looks like this, and the more he thinks about his cold reception from the queen, the more Shen Qingci feels distressed.

There is no child who does not yearn for the approval and love of his mother.

How did Sheng Tingye get here all these years?
Shen Qingci's heart was a little blocked. She originally wanted to comfort him, but before she could speak, Sheng Tingye said: "It's okay, I don't care."

The voice of Qingsong appeared outside the compartment.

He found anti-motion sickness prescriptions and melons and fruits from the boatman.

After Shen Qing accepted the resignation, he didn't want to get up and toss about anymore, so he lay down and fell asleep with the help of dizziness.

In this way, two days of dizziness and ignorance passed.

In the afternoon of the second day, they arrived at Miaochuan.

This place is located at the confluence of three rivers. When coming from Yunzhou, whether you are going to Qingzhou or Kyoto, you must pass through this place.

In the evening, they boarded a passenger ship from Yunzhou to Qingzhou.

It took another night, and on the morning of the third day, we arrived at Qingzhou Wharf.

Shen Qingci thought before that it would take a lot of effort to get the Wang family to recognize Zhang Jincheng's identity and welcome him into the Wang family.

Unexpectedly, the Wang family got the news in advance and arranged for people to meet them at the pier.

Sheng Tingye only took out the seal and token, and was politely invited in.

As for the seal and token, of course Zhang Jincheng himself had someone prepare it early in the morning and sent it over before Miaochuan and the others boarded the boat.

Before getting off the boat, Shen Qingci changed into the same maid outfit as Ting Lan, and followed Sheng Tingye.

She never expected that she could come to Wang's house again, and it was still in a different capacity.

Standing at the gate of the Wang family, Shen Qingci was filled with emotion.

The one who came out to greet Wang Qici, the current head of the Wang family, whose father Wang Chengquan was the eldest brother of Jiang Yuwan's grandfather.

In terms of seniority, Jiang Yuwan had to call him uncle.

The Qingzhou Wang family has nothing to do with the Wang family, the head of the four major families.

The reason why they made a fortune was all thanks to the support of Shen Qingci's grandfather, Wang Chengen.

It is said that the ancestors of this Wang family were originally in the Qinghe area, and they all lived on farming.

At that time, Wang Chengen, who had a conflict with his family, went out to run a boat and started a business in Qingzhou with some capital.

Later, the business grew bigger and bigger, and members of the Wang family came to join him one after another. Wang Chengen also abandoned the previous suspicions and vigorously supported these relatives.

After the two daughters got married, they left part of the money to the family, and even recorded their nephew Wang Qici in their own name, and let the family move into the Wang family mansion.

Looking at the familiar scenery and familiar people, Shen Qingci didn't feel the slightest sense of intimacy.

Wang Qici, who is over fifty years old, is a well-rounded person who is also addicted to women.

In contrast to his grandfather Wang Chengen, who only married his grandmother in his life, Wang Qici's back house was full of women.

There are more than a dozen concubines who are well-ranked, not to mention the maid who was accepted by him without a title.

And these women gave birth to him one after another.

This back house is called a lively place.

The last few lucrative properties left by Shen Qingci's grandfather before his death had already ruined them all.

Now this huge family members are all pointing to the money held by Shen Qingci's grandmother.

It's not all bad.

At least with this guarantee, even if these people were not sincere, they still had to confess Shen Qingci's grandmother.

Although there is no problem with food and clothing for the time being, who doesn't want to take a step up?

Especially after Jiang Yuzhi became Concubine An and got on the boat of King An, the Wang family was even more eager to move.

Therefore, how could they miss such a good opportunity to curry favor with Zhang Jincheng.

Seeing Sheng Tingye from a distance, the wrinkles on Wang Qici's face almost burst into laughter.

That flattering face seemed to have completely forgotten that he was the head of the Wang family.

It's hard for Sheng Tingye, who is so cold and indifferent, to respond to Wang Qici's greetings one by one in order to conform to Zhang Jincheng's gentle temperament.

Naturally, lunch was served under the flattery and flattery of the members of the Wang family.

Shen Qingci did not see his grandmother.

She didn't need to inquire specifically, Wang Qici took the initiative to mention to Sheng Tingye that the old lady Liu was ill a few days ago and hadn't been out of the yard to see outsiders for a long time.

Sheng Tingye came and went with the Wang family on the main seat, he had nothing to do here, and Shen Qingci and Ting Lan, who were maids, were also arranged to eat in the small cubicle next to them.

Although it was a servant's table, the Wang family also put a lot of thought into it.

Shen Qingci didn't have a good meal on the boat for the past few days, the seasickness passed, and after a long time, he was already hungry.

She had just picked up the rice bowl, and before she could move her chopsticks, she heard the sound of the bamboo curtain behind her.

Someone got into the cubicle.

Before people arrive, a faint fragrance arrives first.

Before Shen Qingci could turn her head, she heard a familiar crisp voice behind her.

"You are sister Wan!"

"Sister Wan! Why did you just come back!"

Shen Qingci was shocked from the bottom of his heart.

She turned her head when she heard the sound, and met those watery eyes the next moment.
