Chapter 150 Qinggong
"Lian'er. There are some things I didn't want you to get involved in because it would be dangerous for you. But today I learned about Shen Fengyu's conspiracy, and I can't just sit back and watch."
"After you escape Shen Fengyu's assassination this time and return to Beizhou, you will report my whereabouts to Shen Fengyu and tell him my intelligence. Then, say that you happened to escape the assassination because you used me. Don't show that you knew it was the assassin sent by Shen Fengyu."
Shen Peiqing told Shen Sulian some things, but when Shen Sulian heard it, she shook her head in disbelief.
"No! If the Second Emperor finds out about your whereabouts, he will send people to capture you or assassinate you. No, no!"
Knowing that Shen Sulian cared about him, Shen Peiqing was actually very happy. At least there was a relative in this world who truly cared about him.
He was resolute and began to analyze the matter to Shen Sulian: "You must do this according to my instructions, otherwise you will die if you go back. You can only rely on Shen Fengyu for now."
Shen Sulian thought Shen Peiqing wanted him to join Shen Fengyu and betray him, but he couldn't do that. Tears welled up in his eyes and he shook his head, "No, I can't do that. I can't put you in an unjust position. It was because of you that my mother was able to have a grand funeral. It was because of you that I was able to live in peace until now. I can't betray you."
Shen Peiqing remained silent, not knowing how to persuade this stubborn child.
Just as he was feeling troubled, Rong Su interrupted, "Who told you to be such a traitor?"
After hearing this, Shen Sulian was stunned for a moment, and finally set her eyes on Rong Su. This was because as soon as he came in, all her attention was on Shen Peiqing, and she didn't notice that there was a girl next to her eldest brother.
Seeing him looking over, Rong Su said calmly, "I'm letting you temporarily rely on Shen Fengyu, not to let you really surrender to him. Can't you be more flexible? You can stay dormant by his side and act according to the situation. Maybe you can stay by Shen Fengyu's side and get relevant information at any time to help Ah Qing."
Shen Sulian listened to these words and thought they made sense. He was listening attentively, but when he heard Rong Su call Shen Peiqing "Aqing", this obviously intimate name made him stunned.
His eyes unconsciously glanced at Shen Peiqing, and he saw that his royal brother was also staring at the girl beside him with a sharp gaze, and his expression clearly showed unusual emotions.
In an instant, Shen Sulian had some ideas in her mind and became a little curious about the beautiful and gentle girl in front of her.
"So, you're planning on having me act as a spy for you?"
Shen Sulian looked at Shen Peiqing seriously.
Shen Peiqing looked at Shen Sulian and said calmly, "I don't want you to get involved. This is a matter between Shen Fengyu and me."
But Shen Sulian didn't think so at all. He looked determinedly: "That's not right. I'm also the prince of Beizhou. How can you say it has nothing to do with me? Since it's what you need, I will do my best! I also want to be useful to you!"
When Shen Peiqing heard this, he was silent for a moment, sighed helplessly, and said nothing more.
Finally, Shen Peiqing briefly explained some things to Shen Sulian and planned to go back with Rong Su because he still had to teach Rong Su the art of lightness.
As they were leaving, Shen Sulian asked quietly and curiously, "Miss Rong, is she your sweetheart?"
Shen Peiqing was slightly stunned, then glanced at Rong Su who was standing not far away waiting for him, curled his lips, and asked softly: "Is it obvious?"
Shen Sulian naturally understood what Shen Peiqing meant, and couldn't help but laugh and jokingly said: "Yes, anyone with a discerning eye can see your feelings for Miss Rong."
"It turns out to be so obvious. It's a pity that the person involved can't see it." Shen Peiqing smiled lightly, and then showed some regret.
This meant that Rong Su didn't know what the eldest brother was thinking. Shen Sulian thought about it and gave him a fist pump of encouragement: "You are such an outstanding person. I firmly believe that Miss Rong will like you!"
Shen Peiqing smiled, said nothing, reached out and patted Shen Sulian's shoulder, then turned and left.
At this time, Xiao Linzi walked up to Shen Sulian and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, what should we do next?"
Shen Sulian looked at the two people walking away, her eyes firm: "Since my eldest brother needs me, I will definitely not let him down!"
-
"I didn't expect you to save Xiao Linzi."
When Rong Su heard Shen Peiqing's words, she immediately laughed and teased, "Am I a very cold-blooded person?"
Shen Peiqing smiled faintly and looked at her: "You are not a cold-blooded person, but you are similar to me, not someone who likes to meddle in other people's affairs."
This was true, Rong Su could not deny it. She stared at the street ahead and said softly, "Shen Fengyu wants to kill the Fifth Prince. It seems he's already plotting to take the throne. What do you think?"
Shen Peiqing turned his gaze away, looking somewhere in the distance, his voice slightly calmer and more composed: "I don't care who sits on the throne, I just want Shen Fengyu to pay the price for betraying me."
Rong Su was a little surprised by these words, but then she felt it was very normal. At this moment, she had a very real feeling that he seemed to be the same kind of person as herself.
After returning to the residence, Shen Peiqing took Rong Su to the backyard and taught her light skills.
"I picked this Qinggong technique because it's more suitable for women. Because women are so light, floating on water can make them look as light as a feather."
"Next, you need to try walking with weight. Use this to tie your feet." Shen Peiqing went to get two small sandbags and handed them to her.
Looking at the small sandbags, Rong Su thought about it and without hesitation, tied them directly to her feet. Before tying them up, she felt quite heavy when she walked.
Shen Peiqing saw what she was thinking and stood with his hands behind his back, explaining, "This is to train your leg strength. Once you get used to the weight of these two sandbags, you should continue to add more sandbags until you have more than five on each foot."
"In other words, if you can move like the wind with five sandbags tied to your ankles, then you're ready for the next step of training."
Rong Su listened carefully and nodded in understanding.
"Well, then you start walking along the corridor of the mansion for two hours every day." Shen Peiqing was completely different from Aku in this aspect of being a master. He was merciless and extremely strict.
But this is exactly what she wants, only a strict teacher can produce good students.
Following Shen Peiqing's request, Rong Su began to walk along the corridor of the mansion. With every step, she felt the weight on her legs was uncomfortable, and the weight of the sandbags pulled her muscles, making them feel as if they were being torn apart.
However, this pain was still bearable, and Rong Su gritted her teeth and persevered.
On the side, Shen Peiqing looked at her small body, dragging the sandbags along the corridor. After a while, she was sweating and panting, but she had no intention of stopping, not even taking a rest.
Seeing her so diligent, he seemed to see himself back then, that hardworking and ambitious young man who was not afraid of hardships and was willing to learn more, just to become stronger and fight to protect Beizhou and his two younger brothers.
Unfortunately, everything has changed.
When Rong Su first started walking, she felt it was very strenuous. Later, after walking a circle, she felt as if her legs had lost sensation and were so numb that she could not feel any pain.
But she didn't want to stop either, for she was afraid that once she stopped, she would start to slack off and would use tiredness and hard work as an excuse to rest.
Gritting my teeth, I continued walking, leaving a trace of varying depth on the ground with every step I took.
Her actions attracted many onlookers, all of whom were curious about her behavior.
Gu Yuer had just returned and was surprised and puzzled when she saw her behavior. She seemed to notice that something was wrong with her and ran over to ask, "Sister Rong, what are you doing? You look very bad. Why don't you take a rest first?"
Rong Su raised her hand and shook her head: "I'm fine."
I can hold on, there's still a quarter of an hour left and today will be over.
Seeing that Rong Su was unwilling, Gu Yuer was extremely worried. She looked at her ankles and was shocked.
There was blood oozing out of the ankle!
Gu Yuer anxiously grabbed Rong Su who was continuing to walk forward: "Sister Rong! You can't force yourself anymore, your ankle is bleeding!"
She seemed to remember that Shitou had told her that Sister Rong would learn Qinggong from Shen Peiqing.
"Is it that bad guy Shen Peiqing? Is he deliberately making things difficult for you? I'm going to find him!"
Rong Su reached out her hand to grab Gu Yuer, trying to stop her from looking for Shen Peiqing, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, Gu Yuer stopped, then put her hands on her hips and cursed loudly behind her.
"Shen Peiqing! Are you a devil? How could you treat Sister Rong like this!"
"Do you know that Sister Rong's feet are bleeding from all the effort she put into learning some light martial arts? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass Sister Rong?"
Rong Su knew that Gu Yuer was acting like this because she was too worried about her, but she couldn't let Shen Peiqing be scolded for no reason.
She immediately explained, "Yu'er, Aqing isn't trying to embarrass me. This is the basic skill of learning Qinggong. I've read the book."
Gu Yuer was determined to believe that all of this was Shen Peiqing's fault, and she angrily accused him: "Sister Rong, you don't have to defend him! He must be taking revenge for personal reasons and holding a grudge!"
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Rong Su, and said to her worriedly and earnestly, "Sister Rong, if you want to learn Qinggong, why don't I ask Shitou? Shitou will definitely be more dedicated than Shen Peiqing!"
Uh…
Rong Su didn't know what to say for a moment. It was unnecessary for her to ignore Shen Peiqing, the person with the best martial arts skills, and go to someone far away to seek advice.
Just as she was about to say something, Shen Peiqing suddenly spoke up, and in a somewhat sarcastic tone, he said to Gu Yuer, "I taught Shitou all his martial arts. It's the same if you let Shitou teach Xiaosu."
When Gu Yuer heard this, her eyes widened, and she became furious: "You actually called me Sister Rong so affectionately! Sister Rong!"
She also looked at Rong Su, called her name again in confusion, with a questioning look.
Rong Su twitched her lips and was about to sigh, but the pain in her ankle was unbearable and she had to bend down.
When Shen Peiqing saw this, he immediately stepped forward, put his hand under her arm, and picked her up horizontally.
This sudden action frightened Rong Su so much that she was stunned.
Gu Yuer was even more furious as she pointed at Shen Peiqing and shouted, "What are you doing? Men and women shouldn't touch each other! Put Sister Rong down!"
Shen Peiqing left Gu Yuer stomping her feet in anger without even saying a word to her. He just carried Rong Su back to her room.
When Gu Yuer followed angrily, Shen Peiqing slammed the door with a cold face.
This behavior made Gu Yuer even more angry, and she jumped and banged on the door outside.
"Shen Peiqing! Open the door! What do you want to do to Sister Rong?"
"Open the door quickly!"
The noise grew louder and louder, and soon died away.
Realizing this, Rong Su looked up and saw Shen Peiqing, who was squatting in front of her, taking off her shoes gently.
"The stone will keep Gu Yu'er in check."
Stone?
Rong Su was distracted and not paying attention, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her ankle.
"Ugh!" she gasped.
Shen Peiqing noticed it, frowned, and looked up at her: "Your foot was slightly dislocated, I straightened it for you. But the sole of your foot is rubbed and bleeding. Do you have any medicine in your medicine box to stop the bleeding?"
She thought for a moment, then raised her hand and pointed at the medicine box on the bedside: "There is a white porcelain bottle in the compartment."
After she finished speaking, Shen Peiqing stood up and went to look for the medicine box. Just as he was about to look, Rong Su remembered something and said, "Wait a minute! Take this pill first before you touch my medicine box!"
After saying that, Rong Su threw a bottle of medicine towards Shen Peiqing.
Shen Peiqing realized what was going on, reached out to catch it, poured out a pill and swallowed it.
Then he opened the medicine box and said softly while searching for medicine, "You are quite cautious."
Knowing what he was talking about, Rong Su said softly, "There are too many new poisons in my medicine box. If anyone intends to steal my medicine, he will have to pay the price."
At this time, Shen Peiqing had found the hemostatic medicine. He walked over, squatted again, raised his head and smiled at her, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
"pretty good."
Hearing these three words, Rong Su raised her eyebrows slightly. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her foot. She felt uncomfortable and shuddered. He gently held her foot, feeling her movements, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
"Yeah." She admitted sincerely, lowering her head to look at him. She saw that he was very serious as he used his slender fingers to apply the cream to the broken skin of her ankle. It was the first time she had seen such a careful and gentle expression.
There was a very strange feeling, as if a warm current was slowly flowing through her heart, making her unable to look away for a moment.
And now she no longer felt any pain, she only felt a cool feeling wrapping around the wound, and his movements were becoming more and more gentle.
Just as she was in a daze, Shen Peiqing suddenly raised his head. Her head was still lowered, and their eyes met. At that moment, they were both stunned.
It was as if time had stopped, and a subtle atmosphere flowed between them.
Shen Peiqing moved his thin lips and just opened his mouth to say the first word: "Little..."
Before he could finish, there was a knock on the door, followed by Gu Yun's call.
"A Su? I heard Yu'er say you were injured? I brought medicine. Can you open the door?"
This voice immediately broke the flow between them, and Rong Su came back to her senses in an instant and was about to speak.
Shen Peiqing stood up, walked to the door and opened it.
"She has already been treated with the medicine. Thank you, Dr. Gu, for your concern."
After seeing Shen Peiqing, Gu Yun's expression froze for a moment.
