After retiring, I saved the crazy prince

Chapter 8

Qi Jiuzhu vaguely seemed to hear the low roar of wild animals and the chirping of birds. She opened her eyes again, and it was already late at night outside.

Then she found in despair that she was in a meditation room, and her moon-white dress was also hung on the hanger. Her face turned pale, and she retracted her head into the bedding. They were all replaced.

The series of blows and grievances she received today crushed her completely in an instant. She buried her head in the quilt and finally couldn't help sobbing softly.

When Wei Xuan opened the door and came in, he heard the extremely low and suppressed crying. He quickly put down the white porcelain bottle in his hand, ran to the bed, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you, but why do you feel uncomfortable? ?”

He touched her hand through a thin layer of quilt and felt that her fever had subsided.

The river water in March was icy cold, Qi Jiuzhu fell into the water and caught the wind and cold, and passed out with a fever. He took care of her himself for most of the night and fed her the decoction. Only then did her fever subside and she woke up.

Hearing Wei Xuan's voice, Qi Jiuzhu suddenly poked her head out of the quilt nervously, retreated to the corner of the wall, excitedly pulled out a hairpin from her hair bun, and pressed it to her neck, her eyes were red with red eyes. It was full of tears, but it looked like a fierce little beast. "Although you saved me, your behavior is not that of a gentleman. Don't even think about humiliating me again!"

Wei Xuan was taken aback, and the smile in his eyes deepened. She may have been crying for a long time in the quilt, with long disheveled hair, her eyes were red and swollen like peaches, her face was full of tears, and her face was full of grievances, especially the fierce disguise. The appearance is simply too cute.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled like a gentle and jade-like young man.

But that smile made Qi Jiuzhu frown even more. Although the person in front of her had a smile on her face, she felt that the smile was more like a disguise. The smile was not sincere, especially those dark and deep eyes. Eye pupils, what is hidden inside are all unpredictable things.

That smile made Qi Jiuzhu think of dangers and traps, and she was like a prey caught in it.

"I saved my wife, how can I talk about humiliation?" He pressed his finger on the jade wrench to pretend not to know, and looked at Qi Jiuzhu with a smile, "How can it be regarded as a gentleman's actions in my lady's opinion?"

Qi Jiuzhu was a little annoyed, "I have already told you, I am the daughter of the Qi family. If you are a gentleman, you should send me back, instead of living alone in the same room late at night like this. You should know that a woman's reputation is more important than her life. What Lang Jun did was to force Jiuzhu to die, and..."

She hesitated for a long time but couldn't speak, she was very annoyed, pointing to the hanging moon white dress, her face flushed.

Wei Xuan squinted his eyes, looked at the plain coarse cloth dress on her body, looked at her thoughtfully, and raised the corners of his lips.

Qi Jiuzhu became more and more annoyed, he really wasn't a good person, his eyes wandered, implying scrutiny, this person is really shameless.

She folded her hands in front of her chest, covering herself tightly.

It's just that he didn't scold the disciple.

But Wei Xuan was not annoyed, he just indicated with his hand that her hair was a little messy, and said softly, "My lady's hair is messy."

At this moment, a nun came in with hot porridge. Qi Jiuzhu looked a little embarrassed. She quickly pinched the hairpin in her hand and retracted her hand into her cuff.

She combed her messy hair with her hands, and hid her tears with a handkerchief.

Seeing her waking up, the nun had a benevolent smile on her face: "The lady is awake, she must be hungry already? Please warm up with some hot porridge. By the way, the lady still wears this dress." The poor nun's clothes are made of coarse cloth, but the dress on the lady's body is already soaked, so she can't wear it anymore, so I can only wrong the lady first."

"My teacher changed this dress for me?" Qi Jiuzhu secretly looked at the calm smiling face, blushing hot, and looked a little embarrassed. She blamed Wei Xuan by mistake.

The nun pursed her lips and said with a smile: "My lady is seriously ill and has a high fever. Lanji Temple is a hundred miles away from Chang'an City. Thanks to Mr. Wei Langjun who invited the doctor in time, the poor nun fed my lady some soup. That's right. , Why is the lady's face so red, is it possible that the lady still has a high fever?"

Qi Jiuzhu held her cheeks, and said in a faltering voice: "Thank you, Mrs., the fever has subsided, and I'm fine..." Her voice was as low as a mosquito moan, and she rubbed her fingers together because she blamed Wei Xuan. skirt, and dare not look directly at Wei Xuan's smiling eyes.

She squeezed the silver hairpin tightly and hid it in her sleeve in a panic.

At this moment, she felt even more annoyed, just because of that hidden smile and a dream, she misunderstood that he was not a good person.

"The poor nun will not disturb the lady to rest here."

After the nun left, Qi Jiuzhu rubbed the corners of her skirt, straightened the coarse cloth dress on her body, and quickly got up from the bed, Fushen said: "I'm sorry, Jiuzhu misunderstood Mr. Wei."

"My lady, can I explain why I didn't send my lady back?"

As soon as Qi Jiuzhu said this, she felt more and more like a villain. She blushed and smiled embarrassedly, "Lanji Temple is hundreds of miles away from Chang'an City. Mr. Wei Lang must have made up his mind to enter the city." The time required, the curfew in the city, and the city gate will be closed at the beginning of Haishi. It must be too late to rush back at that time. It was Jiuzhu who didn't check for a while and blamed Mr. Wei Lang. Jiuzhu then apologized to Mr. Wei Lang. "

Although her appearance has changed a lot from when she was a child, she is still as smart and quick-witted as she was when she was a child. Wei Xuan pursed his lips and smiled, thinking of the brave and cute little girl dressed in pink and wearing a bun.

After finishing speaking, Qi Jiuzhu knelt down and bowed. Wei Xuanzheng was going to help her, but then remembered that she was the most polite, and she must not like men's frivolous behavior, so he retracted his hands, clenched one hand into a fist, the other Lost behind him, he pretended to be calm and coughed lightly,
"The lady has not recovered from the cold, and she fell into the water for no reason. Although the fever has subsided now, the cold air entering the body must be harmful to the body. Tonight, the lady will rest here for a night. Tomorrow, I will inform the lady's family to pick up the lady."

Qi Jiuzhu nodded, "In this way, there will be Mr. Lao Wei."

"By the way, why did the lady fall into the water?"

Wei Xuan handed the bowl of hot porridge to Qi Jiuzhu, and his bony fingers inadvertently touched the soft fingertips. The cool and soft touch came from the fingertips, and even the room was filled with the faint fragrance of the girl's body. .

Qi Jiuzhu felt her fingertips burning, pulled her hands away instantly, and replied with a blushing face, "I don't know, it seems that I was pushed into the water by someone, but I didn't see the person's face clearly."

She thought of the man who was staring at him on the bank, with a hole in his right tooth, it was only because she was in a trance when she came out of the meditation room today, she didn't notice when the man appeared, and she didn't see the man's appearance clearly.

She guessed in her heart that the person who pushed her into the water might have been arranged by Bo Ruoyan.After all, she just came out of the meditation room and fell into the water again, Bo Ruoyan was the most suspicious.

If she died, her engagement with Lu Mingtan would also be void. She shook her head. After a high fever, her head was still hurting at this moment. This was just her guess. There is no evidence to prove that Bo Ruoyan did it.
