Chapter 82: Reunion of Old Friends (2)

  "Huh? Where's Master and that imperial physician? Xue Lian stared blankly at the empty chair, her eyes wide with shock. They had vanished."

  At the time when Xue Lian and Xiao Xuanzi were quarreling, Shen Si Jue had already carried Yan Xi Jun into the inner room. He lovingly said with a low head: "Jun'er, it's raining outside, why didn't you come in? Don't do such silly things again next time."

  "Uh-huh. I see." Yan Xijun nodded in his arms.

  Shen Si Jue carried her to the bed and walked over, then somewhat reluctantly placed her on the bed. He himself pulled over a chair and sat down.

  After the tears she had been holding back for so long flowed out, Yan Xijun's mood was no longer as sorrowful. She gazed at him who had become handsome and tall, and exclaimed in surprise: "Shen Ge, how did you appear here?"

  Shen Siyu pointed to the medicine box beside him and smiled: "I am now a royal doctor."

  "When are you going down the mountain?" Yan Xijun stared at him, the royal imperial physician, his identity changed so quickly.

  "Yesterday." Shen Si suddenly said. He had just returned home yesterday and heard his family discussing that matter. They were saying that it was a pity that the Empress Dowager did not have an imperial son. The women in the harem are really poisonous.

  He didn't care about the royal harem at all, but after his mother mentioned that name, he anxiously inquired and only then did he find out she had entered the palace, and it was her who was involved in the incident.

  He learned that she had been poisoned and couldn't rest, so he begged his father to arrange for him to work at the Imperial Hospital, just so he could see her as soon as possible and treat the poison in her body.

  "No way." Yan Xijun's mouth was agape in shock. The person who used to be so nonchalant about everything, when did he become so swift and decisive?

  "You just returned yesterday, so why did you become the imperial physician today?"

  "Have you forgotten who my father is?" Shen Si Jue smiled. "I've been studying medicine for over twenty years now. Letting my father arrange for me to work at the Imperial Medical Bureau isn't a difficult thing."

  Yan Xijun thought so too. Shen Bobo was the manager of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and arranging his son to work at the Imperial Medical Bureau was just a small matter.

  "Shen Ge, where have you been studying medicine all these years?" Yan Xijun said: "It's been several years since we parted ways that year, and after you left, there was no news from you at all. I couldn't even find a way to contact you."

  Especially in the year when her sister left, the person she had been thinking of didn't come to see her off, making her leave with so much reluctance.

  Shen Si sighed. "I've always wanted to contact you guys, but Master is a weirdo. He doesn't allow me to get in touch with outsiders. He wants me to focus on studying medicine and cut off all connections with the outside world, including my parents."

  "Who is your master."

  "He is known as 'Jade' Han's divine doctor." Shen Siyu said.

  "Jade" Hanzi... "Jade" Hanzi... how familiar is this name. Yan Xijun furrowed her brow, thinking to herself. This name seems to have been heard somewhere before.

  "Your master is really a weird person." Yan Xijun couldn't think of the name and simply didn't think about it anymore, laughing as she spoke.

  "It's not, is it?" Shenshi thought of his treatment over the years and couldn't help but complain. His master was truly a strange person, with medical skills that had reached an extraordinary level, and he was also obsessed with researching medicine.

  "He himself has seen through the worldly dust and cleared his mind of desires. He doesn't need me to be like that, but he wants me to see through the worldly dust with him. That's why he isolated me from everything in the outside world."

  "Hehe, your master might be doing it for your own good. Hope you put aside all distractions and focus on studying medicine."

  "It's probably so." Shen Si Jue suddenly grabbed Yan Xi Jun's left hand, giving her a big fright. Yan Xi Jun said: "Shen Da Ge, what are you doing?"

  "Help you see a doctor." Shen Si Jue smiled and 'rubbed' her somewhat disheveled hair. "I heard that you've been poisoned."

  "Perhaps." Yan Xijun pointed to her belly with a sorrowful expression, saying to him: "Shen Ge, do you know? This place once nurtured a small life. But now it's gone."

  A misty haze spread out in Yan Xikun's eyes again. Although she didn't like Chu Yixuan, she couldn't help but care about her own child. She hadn't even seen the child yet and now it was gone. How could she not be heartbroken?

  He looked at her with a complex expression, then comforted her: "Jun'er, don't think too much about it. Let bygones be bygones. You're still young, there will be more things to come in the future."

  "Hehe." Yan Xijun gave a faint smile. "Shen Ge, you won't understand. Losing a child is the most devastating thing for a woman."

  "Yes, maybe I don't understand. But if you keep being sad about this matter, it's not good for your body. Live well while you're alive, don't add unnecessary sorrow for things that have already passed."

  He suddenly hugged her and comforted, "Jun Er, promise me, don't be sad anymore, don't do stupid things again, it's not worth it, you know?"

  After a while, Yan Xijun's voice was heard. "Mm... I promise you, Brother Shen."

  "This is more like it." Shen Siyu breathed a sigh of relief and let her go. He said gently, "Come, let me examine what kind of poison you've been afflicted with."

  Yan Xikun gently stretched out her hand to let him take her pulse. The two of them quieted down. Shen Si became calm and focused on listening to the pulse's beat. Yan Xikun, however, secretly took a glance at his profile.

  He's really handsome. Could sister like him that much? Shen Si Jue's face turned increasingly solemn as he listened. Finally, his hand left Yan Xi Jun's wrist. Seriously asking: "Xi Jun, how many people have drugged you?"

  "What's wrong, Shen Ge." Yan Xijun asked with a startled heart, seeing him so solemn.

  "There are two deadly poisons on you. The first one is really hard to cure, I've never seen it before. The second one is simple, just take a few doses of 'medicine' and it'll be fine."

  Yan Xijun listened to his words and naturally knew what kind of poison he was talking about first. He didn't expect that the poison would be so difficult to solve.

  "Brother, when was your previous one put down?" Shen Si Jue asked.

  "It was in February. I already had it on me at that time."

  "It's been several months now. Are you in pain every month on that fixed day, to the point where you even think of dying?" Shen Si suddenly thought and hastily asked.

  "Uh-huh. That's right." Yan Xijun nodded, thinking back to that day last month. She was still traumatized by the pain she had endured, which had made her want to die at one point. It wasn't until Chu Chengming sent over some relief medicine that she was finally able to get rid of the pain.

  "What kind of person is so vicious? How could you give me such poison?" Shen Si shouted angrily.

  Yan Xijun couldn't help but smile wryly. Since she entered the palace, there hadn't been a single day that went smoothly. She was always being bullied. The imperial palace really wasn't suitable for her.

  "Don't be afraid, I'll go back and check the ancient books. I'm sure to find a way to detoxify it. You can rest assured."

  "Thanks, Shen Gege." Yan Xijun apologized to him.

  "What's with the thanks? What's our relationship? Why be so polite?" Shen Siyu gently scratched her delicate nose, just like when they were kids.

  "Hehe, still have to thank you. Because I hope Shen Da Ge will soon develop the antidote." Yan Xi Jun had a private motive. She truly hoped he could develop the antidote to cure her and Chu Cheng Ming's poison.
