Chapter 21 Difficult to understand
Perhaps it was due to the panic and exhaustion of the afternoon. The moment he saw Grandma Shen, for some reason, Zhou Heng felt that the energy and energy he had accumulated with all his efforts were beginning to uncontrollably disperse, but he thought about it. He had to meet Shen Fu first and tell him the reason for coming here. He could barely hold on on the way to the inner courtyard. But now that he saw the person and told the story, he completely collapsed. This last glimmer of clarity was gone. It also collapsed.
"The boatman wants to kill you? What boatman? Ah Heng!" Shen Fu was shocked. In a hurry, he had no time to think of avoiding suspicion. He stepped forward and hugged Zhou Heng. Unfortunately, after asking two more questions, the latter was already completely unconscious. She walked over and leaned her head softly on his chest, her face pale and unconscious.
After looking around, Shen Fu decisively picked up Zhou Heng and placed her on the Arhat bed next to him. The matter was urgent, so he couldn't care less about the male and female defenses at the moment. Anyway, the two were engaged. of!
"Quick, Chunyu, go get the bed and quilts!" Aunt Shen had already moved the stack of books originally piled on the bed, and then told the little maid next to her: "Go and bring a basin of hot water. Talk more and go quickly!"
The little maid responded and quickly followed Chun Yu out.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I made the decision without authorization and got you into trouble!" Aunt Shen was very uneasy at this moment. Who would have thought that the cousin who was standing at the door of the house calmly at first, looking nothing strange, would now actually Just don’t know about the personnel?
Alas, it was my fault that my old eyesight was dim, and I couldn't see clearly in the dark at night. When I stepped forward to meet her, I realized that my cousin was actually wearing a coarse cloth robe, and there was not a maid behind her.
But even if they met each other, they beat her up. After all, the other party's status was unusual, and she seemed to be alone. She couldn't even deny her entry, right? And even if it was not etiquette to let her in at this moment, she would have to be sent by the palace to leave. Can the carriage be sent back to Zhou's house properly? So Nanny Shen quickly went through it in her mind and thought it would be better to lead the person to Shen Fu first.
Unexpectedly, Miss Shen staggered before taking two steps. Later, even if she and the little maid were holding each other, they were still walking hard and looked like they were about to fall down at any time. Nanny Shen was secretly frightened and hurriedly asked someone to help. First, hurry in and report to the prince.
The result was good. As soon as she said something to the prince, the cousin fainted. She was also frightened and she quickly apologized to Shen Fu.
Shen Fu looked down at Zhou Heng, who was pale and lifeless, and did not respond to Nanny Shen's words. How should I put it, he was reading in the study quietly, but in the blink of an eye he had to face an unconscious person. He didn't know what to do for a moment. What to think.
A Heng had tried various methods to force him to sign a pledge not to take concubines. To be honest, if he hadn't secretly touched A Heng's wrist when he was carrying her to the Arhat's bed, he would have felt that his skin was cold and his pulse was weak and thin. Her face was also very pale, so I thought she was pretending to scare me.
However, I reminded myself rationally that A Heng suddenly came to the palace at this time dressed like this, and said this again before passing out. Although she was willful, she would not joke about such things.
And it was already this time. She was alone without even a maid, and she didn’t know if she came out of Zhou’s house. By the way, what was the “boatman” I just mentioned? Could it be a boatman on a cruise ship? But she ran into her own house. Come for help…
Could it be that something happened to the Zhou family?
Thinking of this, Shen Fu turned around and told Aunt Shen: "Mommy, please freshen up my cousin first, and then give her some ginger tea or something to warm her body. Don't make too much noise. If your cousin wakes up, , just send someone to the outer study room to say something."
Aunt Shen quickly responded solemnly.
After that, Shen Fu left the inner courtyard, recruited Chenfeng Muyun and others, and sent people to the Zhou family to inquire about the situation...
Zhou Heng, on the other hand, unconsciously allowed Grandma Shen to take Chun Yu and the little maid to take off her clothes, wipe her body carefully with hot water, and feed her a whole baby one bite at a time. After a bowl of ginger soup, he saw that she was still unconscious but her complexion was much better. He sighed and told Chunyu and the little maid to take care of her. He personally carried a lantern and went to the study room in the front yard to report to Shen Fu:
"Your Majesty, my cousin looks better. However, when I was washing her, I found that there were some water plants and other things on my cousin's hair and other parts of her body. I thought, maybe my cousin just got there. The 'boatman' mentioned may be a boatman who rows a boat."
It seemed to be consistent with what he expected. Shen Fu nodded and asked Grandma Shen: "Any other findings?"
"Moreover," Grandma Shen paused, looking a little incomprehensible:
"Miss Chunyu took off Miss Cousin's shoes just now, but she found that Miss Cousin was not wearing socks, and the soles of her feet were a little dirty, and there were a few small wounds, but now they have applied ointment."
Shen Fu didn't say anything after hearing this. He thought for a moment and asked Nanny Shen: "Her robe... doesn't look like it?"
"That's right," Nanny Shen bowed and replied, "The robe that Miss Cousin was wearing looked like the clothes worn by women in the market. It was made of poor quality. Later, my servant and Miss Chunyu took a closer look and found that the shoes on Miss Cousin's feet were also of poor quality. , and it doesn’t fit.”
Poor cousin, a rich young lady with thin skin and tender flesh. I don't know what happened before, but there are still injuries on her thin, white and tender feet.
"Mommy, as you can see," Shen Fu walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, then stopped and raised his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. Only a cold voice came: "What happened to Miss Cousin before?"
Nanny Shen had thought about this matter on the way to the front yard just now, so when she heard Shen Fu ask this question, she thought about it and said directly: "Your Majesty, I think I need someone to investigate." I checked and found out if my cousin went to Liuhu Lake to take a boat ride this afternoon, that's the only place in the capital where we can use boatmen."
"However, Your Majesty, I can't figure it out. My cousin won't go on the boat alone. Aunt Huang and the others will definitely not leave. How can we let our cousin come to our house alone?" "
"Besides, the Zhou family is relatively close to Liuhu Lake. Why did she choose to go farther away to find you?"
Shen Fu still didn't speak, so Grandma Shen waited patiently. After a while, the cold voice sounded again:
"Just now, Mu Yun had taken people to check carefully around the entrance of the mansion, but did not find the Zhou family's carriage or servants. Therefore, A Heng did come alone. The concierge said that the carriage dropped her off at that time. Then he left. It looked like a dilapidated and ordinary carriage."
"Mommy, the children of the Zhou family have been known as playboys over the years, and A-Heng is just an ordinary boudoir lady. If the situation is really as A-Heng said, why would a boatman want to kill her in broad daylight?"
