"Then I don't care." Li Zian refused to let her go, "How many times have you called him, you have to call me a few more times."
"Are you naive..." Shen Tianshu was speechless, "What's the comparison?"
When Li Zian saw her getting up to leave, he suddenly raised his hand and covered his chest with a cry of pain.
"What's wrong?" Shen Tianshu took the bait and turned around to check on him.
He took advantage of the situation and grabbed Shen Tianshu's hand, pressed it on his heart and said, "It suddenly hurt here just now."
Shen Tianshu immediately became worried: "Could it be that there is still some residual poison that has not been cleaned out? Have you taken all the medicine I prescribed for you before?"
"have eaten."
"Maybe it's caused by being too tired recently?" Shen Tianshu said and was about to check his pulse, "I'll give you some medicine."
Li Zian refused to let go of her hand and said, "You don't need to take medicine. As long as you call Brother Zian, I will stop the pain."
Only then did Shen Tianshu realize that he had been tricked by Li Zian.
She waved her hand and said, "Is it fun to scare me?"
"Since Mrs. Tong poisoned me in the first place, she must be responsible for me to the end."
"..." As soon as he mentioned this, Shen Tianshu immediately became short of breath.
In the end, Shen Tianshu couldn't stand Li Zian's teasing. He pestered him and called him "Brother An" several times before he was let go. He was so ashamed that he turned red like a ripe prawn and silently shuddered in his heart. Make up your mind and you will never be fooled again.
Li Zian was greatly used, and he wished he could hear her scream a few more times.
The two of them reunited after a long absence, but after being tired of being together for a while, they still talked about business again.
“Although the epidemic has been cleared now, there is still a lot of follow-up work to be done in the city.
"The houses on the west side of the city can no longer be inhabited. They must be torn down and burned before being rebuilt to prevent any unclean things from leaving any trouble."
"Just leave these tasks to Qi Zihao. He has so many people under him, so it's just right for him to do this!" Li Zian said, "Find something for him to do so that he won't always be under my nose."
The two of them talked for a while. When Li Zian saw Shen Tianshu looking tired, he reluctantly said, "Go and have a rest. If you have anything to say, it will be the same tomorrow."
Shen Tianshu rubbed his eyes, still feeling a little reluctant.
Li Zian simply sent her back to the room, sat beside her bed and said, "I'll wait until you fall asleep before going back."
Shen Tianshu was fully nestled in the quilt, with only one face exposed, and whispered: "No, you should go back and rest early. You must not have slept well these days."
"You just realized that I didn't sleep well?" Li Zian reached out and pinched her cheek gently, "You little heartless child! I miss you every day and I can't sleep, but you'd better..."
He did not continue because Shen Tianshu had obviously fallen asleep.
Her cheek was pressed against his hand, showing an extraordinarily dependent look.
Li Zian gently stroked her face, his eyes full of tenderness.
He sat on Shen Tianshu's bedside for a long time, staring at her sleeping face and couldn't get enough of it.
It wasn't until his upper and lower eyelids began to fight that he cautiously got up and returned to his room.
Not long after Li Zian fell asleep, there was a commotion in the yard.
He suddenly woke up, and his first reaction was to quickly come to Shen Tianshu's door. Seeing that everything was safe and sound here, he asked: "Come, what happened?"
Xie Yun walked in quickly from outside and said: "Master, catch a thief who sneaked in late at night."
"Thief?" Li Zian asked in confusion, "Come to the county government office to steal?"
As he was talking, the commotion outside suddenly became louder.
"It's all your fault. My parents were both killed by you. Why? Why wasn't you the one who died?"
Yan Laosan rushed over and closed the door for them and said: "Master, close the doors and windows, and don't come out!"
Shen Tianshu in the east room was also woken up. He got up, put on some clothes and came out to check: "What happened?"
Yan Laosan said outside: "The man who came just now is not a thief, he wants to poison me."
"Poison?" Li Zian hadn't reacted yet.
Shen Tianshu already understood what was going on and asked aloud: "What did he bring?"
"It was said to be the dried powder of vomit from epidemic patients, and they were trying to find an opportunity to blow it into General Qi's room. Fortunately, we discovered it in time.
"They have taken it down, and the powder has been found. It is still intact in the paper bag and has not been opened. It has been burned."
In the east wing room, Qi Zihao looked a little depressed after being woken up, and the young man's questioning voice just now echoed in his mind.
Four thousand five hundred and sixty-two.
He still clearly remembered the numbers Feng Xuekun said.
It's not just a bunch of numbers, there are real people behind it.
Yes, why wasn't he the one who died?
Seeing Qi Zihao falling into this emotion again, Yan Laosan was about to step forward to offer some words of comfort when he saw Li Zian walking in suddenly.
Yan Laosan was startled: "Master, why are you out here!"
Li Zian ignored him, walked straight to Qi Zihao and said, "Look what you look like now!"
Qi Zihao buried his face in his hands and said solemnly: "You are not me, you don't understand how I feel!"
"Fart!" Li Zian punched him on the shoulder and said, "If you have to find someone to take responsibility for this matter, it should be me. I asked you to come to Fuping County.
"But the difference between me and you is that for things that have happened that cannot be changed, I always think about how to remedy them, rather than being immersed in self-blame and unable to extricate myself.
"If you have the energy to give up on yourself, you might as well keep it and help the people in the city build houses so that they can return to normal life as soon as possible!"
After Li Zian said that, he turned around and left.
Qi Zihao didn't make a sound for a long time, and finally fell back on the bed, staring at the ceiling without moving.
Yan Laosan was afraid that he would be too stimulated, so he just wanted to step forward and say a few words of comfort.
Qi Zihao said in a dull voice: "Sure enough, he and Shu'er are on the same road. When encountering problems, they both know what to do instead of letting themselves be immersed in useless emotions."
Yan Laosan could only say: "General, your thoughts are human nature. The prince loves you deeply and deeply, and I don't want you to wallow in self-blame all the time.
"Don't just focus on this one person. Look at this small bamboo basket. There are still many people who are grateful to you, right?"
Qi Zihao reached out to take the small bamboo basket, and finally fell asleep holding it in his hand.
When we had dinner early the next morning, Qi Zihao had disappeared.
Li Zian frowned and asked, "Where are the people? Why, do you still want to go on a hunger strike?"
Yan Laosan hurriedly said: "Back to the Master, General Qi had something to eat early in the morning and went out to work. At the moment, he is building a house with the soldiers in the west of the city!"
