Chapter 294 Miss Shen is a good person
Shen Shuyi looked directly at Xie Jingchi and said slowly, "Master Xie was assassinated by his enemies again?"
Xie Jingchi: "I can't say they are my enemies, but investigating a case will inevitably lead to hatred. It is inevitable that someone wants to buy my life."
Shen Shuyi said calmly: "Master Xie is truly selfless, but Master Xie and I don't seem to be that close."
Xie Jingchi sighed lightly, not being polite at all, and said quietly: "Miss Shen has repeatedly framed Madam Shen and her brothers and sisters. I don't think you would want this to be known to everyone."
Shen Shuyi sneered: "Are you threatening me?"
Xie Jingchi covered his wound with one hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "No, I'm asking Miss Shen for help."
"But why should I help you?" Shen Shuyi asked bluntly.
Xie Jingchi looked calm: "As the old saying goes, help people to the end, and send Buddha to the west. I believe Miss Shen is a good person."
Facing Xie Jingchi's narrow and long phoenix eyes, Shen Shuyi chuckled softly, thinking that this man's ability to speak nonsense in a serious manner was no less than his own. He really couldn't imagine what kind of person this top scholar Xie was.
At this moment, Jianpo hurried into the courtyard and said, "Miss, the Chai Imperial Guards and Prince Song are here to search under the orders of the Third Prince."
Shen Shuyi glanced at Xie Jingchi. His expression remained unchanged, but the wound was still bleeding, making that handsome face look paler and paler.
But even so, the man remained calm and composed, without any sign of panic.
Shen Shuyi's heart sank slightly: "What are you searching for? There are only women here."
Jianpo said immediately: "It seems that the Third Prince has lost something. The Chai Imperial Guards and Prince Song have been ordered by His Highness to thoroughly investigate the entire Jade Buddha Temple. Everyone must cooperate."
As he spoke, the footsteps got closer and closer.
The servants of the Shen Mansion stopped them outside the courtyard: "Who are you? What are you going to do..."
When the noise started, Shen Shuyi's sight fell on Xie Jingchi. Xie Jingchi looked calm and said slowly: "If it is inconvenient for the young lady, it will be the same if I ask the Third Prince for help."
Shen Shuyi stepped aside and said softly, "Forget it. I don't know if Lord Xie will be able to survive until then. Besides, the Third Prince doesn't have such a good temper as me."
Probably not expecting her to speak like this, Xie Jingchi paused for a moment, then chuckled.
Xie Jingchi walked into the room. As it was a guest room prepared by the Buddhist temple for pilgrims and it usually served as an inn, the furnishings in the room were very simple.
There are two rooms, one inside and one outside. In the outer room there is only a round table, a square display cabinet and a screen.
However, although it is simple, it has a different charm with the arrival of its owner.
There was a lavender brocade cloth on the round table, and a light green jade vase with a unique and exquisite root branch inserted in it. The antique display cabinet on the other side was very clean, with some books that the girl carried with her, and two makeup boxes.
In addition, the maids' belongings were neatly packed in two wooden boxes on the ground and were not placed together with the maids' usual residence.
Xie Jingchi retracted his gaze, sat down at the table unceremoniously, and stretched out his wrist: "Please take my pulse, Miss Shen, and see if I can live to see the sun tomorrow."
Shen Shuyi: "..."
Why didn't anyone tell her in her previous life that this vigorous and resourceful top scholar of the current dynasty had such a sociable personality?
Shen Shuyi lowered his eyes to look at the man's fair and strong wrist, on which was a big, clean hand with long sleeves. His hand did not have as distinct joints as most men's. His hand had soft, slender and clear lines, and his nails were neatly trimmed, with a faint healthy pink color, and the white crescent moon was clearly visible on it.
Shen Shuyi didn't move, he looked directly at Xie Jingxing and said, "Master Xie, my medical treatment is very expensive."
Xie Jingchi was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I have nothing to repay you with."
Shen Shuyi: "..."
"Master Xie is really not sincere. No wonder I heard before that Master Xie's strength lies in his love for getting something for nothing."
Shen Shuyi was really speechless. This man had an incredibly handsome face and looked at her with a pair of harmless eyes, but he refused to spend a penny and didn't even make a promise.
It would be better to say thank you last time at least.
Shen Shuyi knew that Xie Jingchi was a loyal minister. Although he was young, he had a strong character.
Similarly, he is ruthless, shrewd, and not pedantic, yet he is a rare honest official who serves the country and the people. However... this does not mean that he is really penniless!
You should know that in his previous life, Lord Xie refused to accept bribes and was unwilling to end up with nothing, so he went to court in tattered clothes, which made Emperor Qianwu unable to bear it, so he waved his hand and gave him a thousand gold coins.
Seeing that Shen Shuyi remained silent, Xie Jingchi remained silent for a while, and then said sincerely: "If Miss Shen saves you today, I will repay you with gratitude someday."
"Ha ha……"
Shen Shuyi couldn't explain the reason, he just felt that this person was just making empty promises.
After all, thinking about the fact that he had solved many major cases in his previous life and done many good things that benefited the country and the people, Shen Shuyi slowly extended his hand.
The girl's soft and delicate fingers gently rested on his wrist, and she asked nonchalantly, "Master Xie, do you think I'm easy to fool?"
Xie Jingchi shook his head seriously: "No, I really think Miss Shen is a good person."
"Lord Xie is really not stupid at all. He knew to come to me at this time." Shen Shuyi said in a cold voice. Obviously, judging from Xie Jingchi's pulse, he was seriously injured.
The injuries from a few days ago have not healed yet, and today I have new injuries.
However, although he was seriously injured, he was lucky. Although the sword stabbed deep, it just avoided the vital parts, and the wound was in the gap between the two vital parts.
Shen Shuyi suddenly felt that in order to accomplish anything in this world, perhaps one really needed some luck.
Otherwise, for the things Xie Jingchi had done in his previous life, even if he, a man without any martial arts skills, died eight or ten times, it would not be enough.
Xie Jingchi looked at her directly with his phoenix eyes: "To be honest, before I came here, I went to Master Qingyi's residence first, but Master Qingyi was not there. I happened to hear that Miss Shen was here, so I had no choice but to come here."
Shen Shuyi had lived in the Jade Buddha Temple and knew that Master Qingyi was a famous master in the temple. He was known for his medical skills. In recent years, most of the people who participated in the disaster relief free clinics in the Jade Buddha Temple were disciples brought up by Master Qingyi.
Shen Shuyi said nothing, but stared at Xie Jingchi to feel his pulse.
The injury is indeed serious, and an ordinary doctor may not be able to suppress it, which will only make him more dangerous.
He was smart to find himself.
Shen Shuyi narrowed his eyes and looked at the man in front of him. You know, sometimes some people's success depends not only on luck.
However, she really couldn't see through Xie Jingchi.
After a while, Shen Shuyi withdrew his hand, stood up, took out two pills from the small box on the antique shelf, handed them to Xie Jingchi, and then picked up a pen to write a prescription.
"For the next month, follow this prescription. If Sir Xie has money, you can replace two of the herbs to double the effect."
