Yan Chu frowned, wondering if he had gone too far. But when he looked down and saw the scars all over Shen Zhishu's body, he thought that he should let her remember this lesson.

People like her are arrogant and domineering and never know how to restrain themselves. This is not a good thing.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know how I have offended the princess."

Although Shen Zhishu was in great pain, he remained conscious.

Especially when she saw Su Rong being treated coldly by her own lover, with that shocked and desperate expression, as if the sky had fallen, she felt happy.

I can't abuse you physically, but I can definitely make you suffer a fate worse than death psychologically.

But on the surface, she was still the weak, injured Concubine Shen who was about to die, breathing more than she was breathing in.

"none of your business."

Yan Chu was in mixed feelings.

After hearing Shen Zhishu's voice, he quickly helped him onto the bed.

Then he invited the court doctor again.

Someone who was fine yesterday is covered with whip wounds today?

The court doctor was so shocked that he subconsciously looked at the prince.

Which concubine would suffer so much, first a broken leg, and now a whip injury? Did the mansion only catch her and kill her?

He was in a mixed mood, so he consulted the doctor again and was prescribed some medicine.

This time it was an external injury. Although it was not fatal, he would inevitably suffer physical pain, and this time the pain would probably last longer.

The worst part is the legs.

It was almost healed, but now it's completely split again.

Shen Zhishu suffered again and had to unwrap the cotton cloth and bandage it again.

After finishing the work, Shen Zhishu signaled to Bitao and took out a bag of heavy silver as a thank you gift.

This made the court doctor flattered, and he quickly waved his hand to refuse.

After all, as the palace physician, he receives a fixed monthly salary, and everything he does now is part of his job.

"Doctor Zhou, you are the court physician that our prince values ​​very much. I believe that the prince will not treat you unfairly, but this little bit of silver is just a token of my gratitude. Thank you Doctor Zhou for saving me several times. However, I need to ask Doctor Zhou for a favor. Please do not tell anyone about my injuries."

In front of Yan Chu, Shen Zhishu explained very seriously.

Everything was done for the reputation of the palace. If people outside knew that the princess of the Prince of Qin's palace not only had a broken leg but also had whip wounds, who knows how it would spread.

The court doctor subconsciously looked at the prince standing beside him.

Then he nodded vigorously.

"Of course, Concubine Shen can rest assured. I will keep my mouth shut."

Although he was also very curious about what was going on.

But he also knew that if he wanted to live longer, the more confused he was, the better.

After the court doctor left.

Yan Chucai sat on the bed and applied medicine to Shen Zhishu.

Now I have mastered the techniques and it is very easy.

"You don't have to give him more money, and he won't go out and say anything."

He was still very surprised that Shen Zhishu used money to shut someone up in front of him.

"I have heard a folk saying that money makes the world go round. Doctor Zhou gets paid more, so he will be more loyal. He is the palace physician chosen by the prince, so he is one of us, so I should treat him well."

Seeing that what she said made sense, Yan Chu couldn't help but pursed his lips.

"No wonder the housekeeper said you are generous."

He teased.

He must have known that I was giving gold leaves to the butler.

But looking at his expression, he doesn't seem angry.

Shen Zhishu was not afraid either, he just looked a little embarrassed.

"I have just entered the palace, so I naturally want to be kind to others. The butler is the prince's right-hand man. If I can get his help, I think I can at least gain a foothold in the palace and not be bullied."

She admitted it openly.

'Bribing' the butler is all about wanting to make your life better in the palace. There's nothing wrong with that, right?

"You are the master, who dares to bully you?"

Yan Chu thought that she was overthinking it. Su Rong never cared about these little tricks. She could gain a foothold in the palace by herself.

Thinking about it, looking at the scars on her body, all of which were caused by the princess, he suddenly felt that what he said was not quite appropriate.

"Besides, the person you should please most in the whole palace is this king."

He changed the subject and teased her for being so tactless.

"I... thought about it, too, but I feel that it's fortunate that I have maintained a relationship with the prince in the palace, otherwise I would have received the beating today when the princess returned to the palace."

Shen Zhishu turned his head, glanced at him dimly, then lowered his head, his tone a little uneasy.

She seemed a little worried that this would make the prince angry.

Yan Chu was silent for just a moment.

"I assure you that this will never happen again."

Not only was he not angry, but he was actually thinking about her.

This surprised Shen Zhishu.

Can this be achieved with just a beating?

Is there something happening here that she doesn't know about?

What surprised her even more was that the prince actually stayed overnight at Wang Academy that night.

At noon she fell asleep, so he went to the side room.

Finally, after much thought, Shen Zhishu attributed his strange behavior to the fact that perhaps he was trying to attract Su Rong's attention and force Su Rong to come to him again.

On the other side, Su Rong, heartbroken this time, left the palace just like before.

Once he left the house, he disappeared.

Because Yan Chu did not give any orders, the guards in the palace did not go to investigate her whereabouts.

In fact, the guards in the palace didn't like this princess who was always eccentric, hot-tempered and impulsive, especially Chu Yi, who had a strong prejudice against her.

So this time, it was as if she had disappeared suddenly.

In the next few days, a lot of things happened in the court and Yan Chu was very busy.

Shen Zhishu concentrated on recuperating from his injuries and rarely saw anyone else.

Seven or eight days passed.

Her wounds healed again and were almost healed, so she was able to go out and bask in the sun again.

Then she met someone who surprised her.

Her father, Shen Wang, came to visit her.

And his mother and brother finally returned to Kyoto.

A family of four reunited in the courtyard.

Shen Zhishu's mother, Fang, was once a woman of the underworld, so she was somewhat casual in her style of doing things. His elder brother Shen Jie learned martial arts since he was young under the influence of his mother, and his father required him to read a lot of poetry and books, so in the eyes of his parents, he was also a young man from an aristocratic family who was both civil and military, and had an elegant appearance.

He has never set foot in officialdom, but he has a bit of chivalrous spirit and a carefree and unrestrained attitude.

After being reborn for so long, this was the first time I saw my mother and brother, and the house being ransacked in my previous life did not happen.

His mother did not die tragically on the road while following his father, and his brother was not put in shackles or tattooed on his face, becoming a criminal slave.

Their family is still intact.

Shen Zhishu couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. He did not hide his emotions at all and leaned in his mother's arms.

"You were gone for a long time this time. Your daughter felt like she hadn't seen you for a long, long time."

The tears were flowing like water.
