Your Majesty, the Princess is here to help you with infertility again.

Chapter 137 Ma Wen is full of secrets

The evening of this day was a bit sultry, so Nan Suhe specially asked the small kitchen to prepare mung bean soup and some side dishes to relieve the heat. The four masters and servants had dinner in the small pavilion in Shanglin Garden.

Yiyi's appetite has not been very good recently, and she is often depressed when she is alone.

Sometimes when passing by Chengyuan or seeing Si Hanchen from a distance, it is obvious that her wilted little face will instantly brighten up and she will look at Si Hanchen with piercing eyes.

But every time, Si Hanchen either didn't see her or didn't speak to her.

Gradually, Yiyi no longer wants to deliberately go around Chengyuan.

In order to make Yiyi happy, Nan Suhe also made some homemade smoothies that Yiyi usually likes.

It was rare to see Yiyi have a little appetite. At this moment, Ma Wen came to treat her on time.

"Greetings to the princess and young lady!"

Ma Wen approached with lame legs, then bowed with his hands, and was about to kneel down when Nan Suhe stopped him and said, "Guard Ma, as I said last time, your legs and feet are inconvenient, you don't need to make such a grand gesture every time. Get up."

"Thank you, Princess!" Ma Wen clasped his fists and bowed.

"Uncle Ma!" Yiyi showed a rare happy smile that she hadn't seen for a long time after seeing Ma Wen, and stepped forward to hold his hand, "Is your leg feeling better?"

"Mom told Yiyi a few days ago that Uncle Ma's leg has just been reattached and can't move yet, so Yiyi hasn't called you while practicing horse riding these days!"

"When can you continue to take Yiyi with you!"

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Yiyi. The little one is much better now." Ma Wen said, touching Yiyi's head, "You should be able to resume training soon."

"Great, great! Yiyi also wants to hear Uncle Ma tell Yiyi the story about the old man!"

"Yiyi." Nan Suhe looked at Yiyi, "Recently you should ask Chengzhe to take you, or rest for a while first. Your Uncle Ma still needs time to recover."

"Huh? Didn't Uncle Ma agree?" Yiyi looked at Ma Wen.

"I'm reporting back to the princess, the little one is already feeling much better." Ma Wen said, "The princess had to treat the little one a few days ago and he lay down for a few days. As expected, his legs feel much better today!"

Nan Suhe turned directly to look at Ma Wen: "This princess has just connected your bones and muscles, and I didn't want you to over-exercise yourself so quickly."

"Ma Wen, it's not that important for Yiyi to learn to ride a horse. Why are you anxious?"

Nan Suhe looked at Ma Wen.

These few times, every time Yiyi came back, she would say that Uncle Ma told her a good story.

How an old grandpa can be both strict and playful at the same time.

The amazing thing is that the old man’s taste is exactly the same as hers!
  If Uncle Ma hadn't said that it was a made-up story, Yiyi would have really wanted to get to know that old man.

And Nan Suhe would always ask Yiyi to retell the story Ma Wen told about an old grandfather.

Nan Suhe always felt that many of the stories Ma Wen told sounded a bit familiar.

Not only that, I heard Yiyi say several times that during breaks, Uncle Ma told her some tea ceremonies, some food stories, and some customs from various places...

These are definitely not things that a palace groom can know.

She had suspected it before, but now she was even more certain.

Ma Wen must be a person with a story and a past.

"No, no! The princess has misunderstood!" Ma Wen quickly clasped his fists and explained, "Miss Yiyi is extremely talented in equestrian skills. She should strike while the iron is hot, not fish for three days and dry the net for two days."

"The younger one is worried about Miss Yiyi's equestrian practice!"

Nan Suhe stared at Ma Wen, thoughtfully.

This Ma Wen usually has a tepid temper.

I just mentioned this a little bit today, and I feel very anxious to explain it.

It's really something unusual.

Although he is not sure what secret Ma Wen has, Nan Suhe can still confirm that Ma Wen must be harmless.

At least it is harmless to the entire Shanglin Garden, and it is considered a person of Shanglin Garden.

So Nan Suhe continued:
  "Ma Wen, your leg disease has been delayed for too long, and you have missed the best time for treatment."

"If it were treated by another doctor, there would definitely be no solution for your leg disease."

"I saved your leg, but I didn't want you to torment it before it's completely healed!"

"Besides, you still have unresolved toxins in your body and unresolved cysts on your back. You still need to pay attention to the changes in your body at all times until everything recovers."

"Yes, thank you Princess for reminding me." Ma Wen clasped his fists and bowed. “I asked you to come today because the antidote has been prepared.”

With that said, Nan Suhe took out a small bottle of medicinal powder and handed it to Ma Wen:

"The poison in your body is called Hedaiyi."

"This poison is as its name suggests. It is not fierce in its attack, but it follows you like a belt, attached to your skin and blood, corroding little by little."

"Mostly used in——"

"Suppress the inner strength and abolish the martial arts."

"Moreover, the more powerful one is in martial arts, the more suppressed/poisoned one is."

"Not only that, because this poison only wastes martial arts, suppresses internal strength, and makes the body weaker than other people, making it easier to catch a cold. It is not harmful to other people. So ordinary doctors will never be able to diagnose it."

Nan Suhe said, looking up at Ma Wen's reaction.

At that time, the evening sun finally hid the last ray of light, and the surrounding halo dimmed.

Ma Wen's face was hidden in the shadows, and his expression at the moment could not be seen clearly.

"Maybe...it was just an accident."

After a moment, Ma Wen slowly spoke.

And his voice, Nan Suhe heard, had a sense of vicissitudes of life that was not present in his usual speech.

"This kind of poison is very targeted and extremely difficult to make. Even if it is sold, it is still worth a lot of money."

Nan Suhe looked at Ma Wen:
  "Tell me, Princess, what kind of accident would cause such a priceless poison to be used on a groom?"

The surrounding candlelight was lit, and Nan Suhe discovered that Ma Wen had been lowering his head, lowering his eyes, and pursed his lips tightly.

"You don't have to be nervous. If you don't want to say it, I won't force you to say it."

Saying that, Nan Suhe took out the silver needle:

"Sit down and start acupuncture today. For three days in a row, your legs will be completely fine."

"It's just that the toxins in your body have been accumulated for a long time and have penetrated deeply into various acupuncture points. You still need to insist on taking the antidote to completely drive away those toxins."

"Can those toxins be eliminated at the same time?!"

Hearing this, Ma Wen suddenly raised his head, with surprise in his eyes that he had never seen before.

"Yes, but only this princess can!"

Nan Suhe said, took out a silver needle and looked at Ma Wen: "Let's start!"

……

After a stick of incense passed, Nan Suhe finished acupuncture, and Qiaorui had already taken Yiyi back to her room to rest.

Looking at Ma Wen's back as he knelt down and left, Nan Suhe turned to look at Aunt Liu: "How is it that I asked you to continue investigating Ma Wen before?"

"Back to Princess, there are indeed some doubts, and there are some things that the old slave remembered."

"It's just that I haven't fully figured out the whole story, so I never reported it to the princess."

"Tell me about it." Nan Suhe said.

"It is said that he is just a groom. When he enters the house, whether it is a sale or a deed, it will be recorded."

"But there are very few records about Ma Wen. They only said that he had been in the army before entering the government, and that's all gone."

"Not only that, the old slave also remembered that when we were often short of food and use in Lengyuan, from time to time someone would send some things and put them in through a broken wall hole in Lengyuan and never show up. "

"After the old slave found out, he always wanted to know who was secretly helping us."

"But this person is always elusive and only appears before dawn or late at night."

"Only one time, the old slave happened to get up at night and found that he was delivering food to the cave."

"The old slave just lay on the ground and looked through the gap in the hole. Although he couldn't see the whole person, he remembered that the man was lame!"

"When I think about it today, the lameness looks exactly like Ma Wen's walking!"

Nan Suhe couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth while listening to Nanny Liu's narration.

This Ma Wen is really getting more and more interesting.
