After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

Shen Yuyao fed the medicine in the bowl into the monk's already cracked lips.

At first, the monk's lips were tightly closed. As soon as Shen Yuyao fed him some, the medicine flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

The monk was nearly dead.

Shen Yuyao quickly gave the monk an injection at the Baihui and Yongquan points, which softened his muscles all over his body.

Shen Yuyao pinched the monk's cheeks with both hands and fed him the medicine drop by drop through his teeth.

It took an entire hour to feed him half a bowl of medicine.

The black color on the monk's face slowly faded away as the medicine went down his throat.

After feeding the monk the medicine, although his face was still pale, Shen Yuyao knew that the strange poison in his body had been eliminated, and he would be able to recover after taking the medicine to replenish qi and blood for a few days.

"Miss, Princess Xiaoxian has fallen asleep." Zi Su lowered her voice, "Let me carry the princess back to her room to sleep."

Shen Yuyao nodded. She looked at the monk who had fallen into a deep sleep, then she stood up and walked out.

Outside the yard, Xia Yu was sitting on a stone bench, deep in thought.

Tang Wei stood behind Xia Yu, also with a solemn expression on his face.

Shen Yuyao walked to Xia Yu and bowed, "Your Majesty."

Xia Yu raised his head, pursed his lips slightly, and tightened his jaw.

When he saw Shen Yuyao, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

"Yuyao, monk..."

Shen Yuyao only felt that Xia Yu at this moment seemed to have lost his former youthfulness and arrogance. Now he looked more resolute and solemn, and his kingly aura was becoming more and more powerful.

"The monk is fine, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry." Shen Yuyao suddenly wanted to test Xia Yu. How much did he know?

"But, I don't understand why the prince values ​​this monk so much."

"Hmm..." Xia Yu suddenly looked at Tang Wei behind him, "This..."

Tang Wei knew that the couple had something to say, so he bowed and said goodbye, "Your Highness, Princess, I will escort the baggage and resume the journey tomorrow. I will say goodbye now and see you in Yanjing."

"Thank you, Lord Tang." Xia Yu and Shen Yuyao stood up at the same time and returned the greeting.

After seeing Tang Wei walk away, Xia Yu slowly sat down and said, "Yuyao, after you and I parted the night before, I was able to leave the palace in the early morning."

"After leaving the palace, I went to Shanghe Market and thought about buying a toy for the little princess to amuse her."

Xia Yu's expression relaxed.

What Xia Yu didn't say was that he also wanted to personally choose some nice jewelry to give to Shen Yuyao. This was the first time he wanted to give her a gift since the emperor granted her the marriage.

"I just happened to walk to Yuelai Tea House, but was stopped by this monk..."

That day, Xia Yu came to Baoyuanhao in Shangheji, which was King Ning's darkroom in the capital.

Here, apart from Shen Yuyao, even the emperor's Jinyiwei did not know about it.

The shopkeeper and clerks in Baoyuanhao were all invited by Xia Yu himself in Shengjing.

These shopkeepers and their clerks are not business geniuses, nor do they need to find ways to earn money every month.

They all have one thing in common: they are all mute.

Except for the shopkeeper, all the employees are illiterate.

All they knew was that Xia Yu was a wealthy young man from Yanjing.

There are many pigeons in Baoyuanhao.

Every day, the job of the shopkeeper and the waiters is to help the young master receive the letters brought back by the pigeons.

There would always be people sending letters, and the young man asked the shopkeeper to tie all the letters to pigeons and then release them.

For such a simple job, the shopkeeper earned ten taels of silver per month and the clerk earned five taels of silver per month.

Boss and his servants, you must be as loyal as possible to this noble young master Xia Yu.

On the Baoyuan, after changing out of his night clothes, Xia Yu thought about going to the best jewelry store in the city to pick out two unique pieces of jewelry.

As soon as I walked into Yuelai Tea House, I was bumped into by a ragged monk.

Xia Yu was a little bit of a germaphobe. He was frowning and shaking his clothes when the monk spoke first.

"I have seen you, young master. Your face is like jade and your body is like a pine tree. You are truly a prince!"

Xia Yu often went to Shangheji, where he met these so-called fortune tellers who ate and drank for free. They just used auspicious words to deceive ignorant women and children.

Xia Yu had already disguised himself at this time and did not want to cause any more trouble, so he thought of spending some change to get rid of the matter.

Xia Yu took out some silver from his sleeve and put it in the monk's hand. Unexpectedly, the monk returned the silver to him.

Xia Yu thought the monk thought the amount was too little, so he took out another ingot and gave it to him, but the monk still returned it to him immediately.

Just as Xia Yu smiled helplessly and shook his head to leave, the monk leaned close to Xia Yu's ear and whispered in a very low voice: "Your Majesty's envoy is here to serve you. I present a white hat for you to wear."

Xia Yu's heart was shocked and his hand had already clenched the hilt of the sword.

The monk called him the King, which meant he had already seen through Xia Yu's identity.

At this time, the monk only needed to shout loudly to attract the Jinyiwei, and the news that Xia Yu had returned to Beijing without an imperial edict would be reported back to the palace within an hour.

But Xia Yu thought that the monk was neither greedy for money nor had any intention of murdering Xia Yu.

So what exactly does he want to do?

Instead, Xia Yu became curious.

Xia Yu calmed himself down and pondered the monk's words carefully again in his mind, only then did he understand their meaning.

Xia Yu's expression changed drastically, and his mood became uncertain.

Although he felt that what the monk said was too far-fetched, he still bowed and said, "We are lucky to meet today. How about we have a cup of tea and have a good chat?"

The monk readily agreed.

The two of them stayed in Yuelai Tea House and talked until the moonlight was like water and the gentle breeze was blowing.

It seems like we met too late.

When Yuelai Tea House closed, the two felt hungry.

For a full eight hours, Xia Yu and the monk did not eat a single grain of rice.

"Hahaha, monks are vegetarians, but I like meat and wine, what should I do?"

Xia Yu laughed out loud.

The monk said: "It's OK. I still have a vegetarian bun. Please help yourself."

Xia Yu: "It's really refreshing. I will set off to return to Yanjing in five days. If the monk is willing to lend a hand, please accompany me back to Yanjing."

The monk put his hands together and said: "I am willing to follow you all my life."

Seeing that the monk was willing to return to Yanjing with him, Xia Yu was happy and hired a carriage. The two had another chat in the carriage.

They were almost at the farmhouse, but the monk was probably very hungry. He took out a hard and black bun from his arms and started eating it.

As the monk was eating, his expression changed. He said, "The buns are poisonous!" and then fainted.

Xia Yu was horrified, and thinking that Shen Yuyao was good at medicine, he hurriedly drove the car himself, carried the monk off the carriage himself, and went into the house to ask Shen Yuyao for help!

Xia Yu told Shen Yuyao in detail how the monk was poisoned.

It was just that sentence: "The king's envoy is here to serve, and I will present a white hat for the king to wear."

Xia Yu didn't say it out loud.

Shen Yuyao thought carefully, "Your Majesty, the strange poison in the monk's body is not the poison of our Great Xia."

"This poison is vicious. If there is no antidote, the person who is poisoned will die within one day!"

"I don't know who this monk offended to suffer such a cruel fate."

Shen Yuyao looked at Xia Yu with a bewildered expression, and then said, "Your Majesty, do you know the name of this monk? Where did he come from?"

Xia Yu was confused by her question. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had indeed not asked the monk, and the monk had not mentioned it on his own initiative.

Xia Yu was a little embarrassed, his eyes darting around, "This...this, I really don't know."

Shen Yuyao tilted her head, "Monk, why did you get up so suddenly?"
