After his wife and daughter died tragically, the scumbag prince's hair turned white overnight

With a thought, he called the guard forward, "What's your name?"

The guard had an upright posture, but when he got closer, Gu Shi realized that the guard looked only sixteen or seventeen years old.

If Shuyin hadn't died, she would definitely have recognized that this was the little guard who had given her some change and who had once been very dependent on Zhuifeng.

"My name is Wang Ying." The young guard bowed respectfully to Gu Shi.

Wang Ying...

Yes, that's him.

"Were you a wind chaser before?"

Gu Shi asked bluntly and in a flat tone, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Wang Ying's expression suddenly changed, and he knelt before Gu Shi. "Your Highness, Brother Zhuifeng has been incredibly kind to me. While I truly wish to remain with you, Your Highness, that doesn't mean I should be ungrateful and sever all ties with him..."

"Okay, I'm not here to accuse you," Gu Shi interrupted Wang Ying. When Wang Ying looked at him blankly, he ordered, "You must leave tonight and go to Danyang to find out the whereabouts of Shen Muxi and her daughter."

After a pause, he added, "This will be done in secret, and there is no need to inform anyone."

Wang Ying realized belatedly that he might be highly valued by the prince. He did not dare to ask any more questions and left quickly as requested by Gu Shi.

...

Nanyuan.

Shen House.

Shen Muxi sent Lanzhi away and was about to pack up her medicine box and prepare to go out.

Shen Xi sat at the desk, swinging her feet without any dignity. "Now Zhang is barely alive, relying on medicine to keep her alive. Madam Cui died from excessive blood loss due to a sudden fall of her right hand. Has my revenge on my mother been largely avenged?"

Shen Muxi's hand that was placing the silver needle paused.

"Do you think that if these two people are really that useful, the people behind them would let us hurt them so easily?"

"You mean, they were just scapegoats?"

Shen Muxi nodded, "The people behind this know that I'm abnormal, and they will definitely not give up so easily, so they pushed Zhang's master and servant out."

Shen Xi was silent for a moment, then said, "In my mother's last letter, she told me to be careful of everyone in the Shen Mansion... In other words, everyone in the Shen Mansion might have problems..."

“Who is behind this?”

Her eyes were a little dazed and confused.

Shen Muxi also stopped what he was doing and lowered his eyes, "I think it's best for you to think back on everything you've encountered in your life.

Your maternal grandfather's family was full of loyal and brave people, leaving only your mother. The emperor took pity on your mother being alone, so he made her a county lady, but she enjoyed the honor of a princess.

But in the end, she was still eaten up and her entire family was wiped out. This kind of thing, although it is an unexpected ending, is sad, but from another perspective, it is also an inevitable ending..."

When Shen Xi heard the phrase “the whole family was eaten up”, his expression immediately became excited.

"Your Majesty...my mother passed away, and my father remarried. Your reaction was too calm."

Shen Muxi wanted to ask something, but Shen Rou's voice came from outside, "Sister, are you getting ready to go out?"

"It really is haunting me." Shen Xi muttered and floated aside.

Shen Muxi raised an eyebrow and opened the door.

I just happened to see Shen Rou pretending to talk to Lanzhi.

The moment she saw the door open, Shen Rou smiled happily at Shen Muxi, "Sister."

She stepped forward and tried to get close to Shen Muxi, but Shen Muxi easily dodged her.

She stopped beside the medicine box, a look of disappointment quickly appearing on her face.

"Sister, you and I are sisters after all. Just because of a little unpleasantness, are we really going to have no contact with each other from now on?"

"I don't deserve your calling me sister."

Shen Muxi went forward to retrieve the medicine box and closed it.

Shen Rou saw her movements, her eyes lit up slightly, and the corners of her mouth twitched before she suppressed her smile, "Sister, are you going to take care of the prince's concubine?"

Shen Muxi paused as he carried the medicine box on his back. After a while, he turned around and looked at Shen Rou with cold eyes.

"If you can't talk, just say less. It's not easy to keep your belly healthy, so don't lose it because of your talkativeness."

She couldn't see anything else, but Shen Rou attached great importance to this belly, it was real.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked her servants to do everything they could to keep Zhang alive, and she was still trying to persuade Shen Chuanhai to advance her wedding.

Isn’t it just that you can’t hide your belly?

Shen Rou's face turned pale, as if she was threatened by Shen Muxi.

"Sister, the child is innocent. I came to see you out of kindness, and it would be fine if you didn't appreciate it, but you actually said these words to threaten me..."

After saying that, she left quickly with red eyes and covering her mouth.

I think she was also afraid that Shen Muxi would do something harmful to the baby in her belly.

Shen Xi frowned, "I always feel that Shen Rou's coming here today is a bit too deliberate. Is she trying to test something?"

Shen Muxi recalled Shen Rou's every move just now.

After a while, he slowly said, "Without Zhang, she can't jump too high."

...

Small East Palace.

After the last needle was placed, Shen Muxi withdrew the needle skillfully.

When she opened the medicine box, her brows furrowed slightly.

"No, this wooden box is not mine."

Although the box is similar in color, the workmanship is much rougher.

The wooden box that Shen Muxi is using now was polished by Shen Xi himself, while that rough box was obviously bought from outside for two or three cents each.

"Look at the blood-activating pills in the box?

This color doesn't look like what you made before. Instead, it looks like the roots of the heartbreak grass mixed with something else and kneaded into a ball. If I really don't understand pharmacology and feed Xiaoxiao this, I'm afraid it will cause big trouble."

Shen Xi said a series of words anxiously.

Shen Muxi's eyes turned cold and he put the wooden box aside.

Immediately take Gu Xiaoxiao's pulse.

After a while, she finally opened her eyes. "No, logically speaking, if I follow the blood-activating prescription you taught me, combined with acupuncture, Xiaoxiao's blood shouldn't be stagnant anymore."
