Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 115 The secret is revealed
After stabilizing Yiying's time bomb first, King Lu Xiaojun told Chu Ci about Meng Jing's being taken into custody by Dali Temple.

Hearing this, Chu Ci gave him a cool look, "Besides that, what else is there, let's talk about it together!"

King Lu Xiaojun said again, "There are heavy soldiers guarding the Chu residence and the county prince's mansion. My parents were kidnapped, but they were rescued by Han Zhe who is beside the regent!"

Chu Ci nodded, with a solemn face, and asked again, "Then what about the Gu master who gave me a Gu, have you found out his whereabouts?"

King Lu Xiaojun shook his head, and then told the story of Fanghua Palace that night.

After listening to Chu Ci, he looked at him and sighed silently, "Concubine Ning told you that the Gu Master is not in the capital, and the Gu worms that sleep for a thousand days are bought, do you believe it?"

King Lu Xiaojun was startled when he heard the words, then looked at Chu Ci with astonishment, and asked, "Otherwise? Could it be that there is something tricky about it?"

Chu Ci stared into his eyes, and after a long pause, he still told the secret about Fanghua Palace.

King Lu Xiaojun's expression froze even more, his eyes widened, and he said, "My lady, the eldest princess is not the eldest princess at all, but the eldest prince?"

Chu Ci gave a deep "hmm", and after a while, he said, "So you can understand that Concubine Ning and the Prince Regent belonged to the same camp."

Hearing what she said, King Lu Xiaojun seemed to understand something in a daze.

"So, lady, you suspect that the Gu master is in the capital at all, and Concubine Ning told me that she is not in the capital, and the purpose is to let me ask that little girl Yiying..."

"Unfortunately, the Regent has calculated everything, but he didn't. Yiying not only has a relationship with me, but also has a relationship with my wife. The lady just coaxed her to sign the paper contract with just a few words!"

Chu Ci nodded, and then sighed softly, "I have no choice. That girl learned from the most outstanding Gu master in southern Xinjiang. Her Gu can suppress my poison, but my poison can't help her Gu. Right now This slowing down strategy is already the best way I can think of."

"In the final analysis, I'm still useless!" Lu Xiaojun Wang held Chu Ci's hand, looked at her with guilt on his face, and said with reddened eyes, "If I'm useful, why should my lady worry about everything..."

"It's my fault, it's all my fault!"

"Master, don't say that!" Seeing that he had started to apologize and blame himself again, Chu Ci hurriedly shook his head and advised, "I can't blame you for being incompetent when things have come to this point, but I can only blame that person in the Palace of Compassion and Ning for being ruthless and ruthless. Wear a ring."

King Lu Xiaojun couldn't tell that his wife was forgiving him, so he couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and scratched her nose lightly, and said, "In my wife's heart, I will always be the best!"

"That's not right!" Chu Ci leaned into his arms and said proudly, "I don't want to see whose husband it is."

King Lu Xiaojun felt the warmth, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After laughing, his brows tightened even more.

The loving husband and wife passed by overnight.

The next day, after Yi Ying washed up, she came to have breakfast with Chu Ci.

As for Chu Ci, after resting all night, his strength has also recovered a lot.

After breakfast, she asked someone to remove the dishes, then looked at Yi Ying and said, "Sister, there is something that I may need your help with."

"What's the favor? Sister, tell me, if I can help, I will definitely help." Yi Ying said with a smile.

Chu Ci frowned slightly, and said, "You also know about the fact that I was poisoned by a Gu before. I want to ask you, if that Gu Master is really in the capital, can you find out his whereabouts?"

"This..." Yiying thought for a moment after hearing her finish, and said, "It depends on who is better than that Gu master or me. If I am better than him, then I can use my knowledge return worm to find He, but if he is stronger than me, then there is nothing I can do."

"Why don't you try it first?" Chu Ci tried to suggest.

Yi Ying nodded, "That's fine, I also want to see which sect from Southern Xinjiang is causing trouble in the capital."

"As for the investigation, do you want to do it yourself?"

"Of course I want to go in person!"

"Since this is the case, when you are ready, I will send a few people to you!"

On this point, Yi Ying did not refuse, she was also afraid that the Gu master who kept the Thousand Day Sleeping Gu worm was a master, so for her own life, she would naturally have to do something safe.

After the two discussed it, Yiying went to prepare things.

And Chuci went to the second room to see the two children.

As King Lu Xiaojun said, the two children were really well-raised, and after seeing each other for a few days, not only did they not show any signs of crying, but they also gained a lot of weight.

Especially Xiao Er, who has been able to turn over several times in a row.

It was not until the afternoon that Yiying prepared the things that should be prepared.

Chu Ci directly ordered Qing San, who is a master of poisoning, and Qing Si, who is the best in lightness kung fu.

Yiying saw the methods of the two Azure Dragon Guards again, and then left with confidence...

It was already late at night when she came back.

Chu Ci has been thinking about her side all the time, but he hasn't stopped yet, and even left the light on purposely.

In this way, as soon as Yi Ying came back, she went straight to Xie Ciju.

"How is it, is there any trace of that Gu master in the capital?" Chu Ci asked with concern after pouring a glass of water for Yiying himself, with his long hair loose and silk pajamas.

Yi Ying was really tired and hungry after running for a day, she took the teacup, raised her head and drank it clean, then wiped her mouth, looked at Chu Ci and said, "It has been found out, that Gu master is in the Empress Dowager's palace. Coincidentally, I also recognize those elders in his family... I thought he was going out for a trip, but I didn't expect him to do such an outrageous thing!"

"Oh? Do you recognize that Gu Master?"

Yiying nodded, his eyes sparkled, and said, "Of course I recognize it! Back then... among those elders who killed my grandfather, his father was the leader!"

"Then that means, that Gu master is actually the empress of your enemy?"

Yi Ying gave a "hmm", paused, and said again, "I originally thought that even if we came from southern Xinjiang, we should show some kindness when we meet, but now I don't need it!"

Chu Ci took a deep look at her, "So, you want his life?"

"It's not in a hurry to kill him. I now suspect that the Longevity Gu that was taken from Grandpa is on his body. It is Grandpa's relic. I must find it first, and then talk about other things!"

Chu Ci nodded, "Since it is your grandfather's relic, it must be retrieved."

Yiying didn't speak, and seemed to be thinking about how to get back the relics of grandpa.

Chu Ci also knew that this topic was too heavy, so she didn't continue. She calmed down, looked at her, and said softly, "You must be starving after running outside all day? I asked Aunt Wu to save the pot for you. Don't want to eat?"

"Pot?" There is no such thing in Southern Border, Yi Ying asked with a puzzled expression.

Chu Ci didn't answer her, but shouted outside, "Aunt Wu, bring the hot pot!"

Aunt Wu heard the voice outside, and immediately went to the kitchen to prepare.

About a quarter of an hour later, she opened the curtain, walked in, and said respectfully to Chu Ci, "Miss, the hot pot and dishes are all ready and placed in the Warehouse. Are you and Second Miss going over now?"

Chu Ci nodded, "Thank you, Aunt Wu, we'll go there now... You can go down and rest first, and we'll pack up tomorrow."

Aunt Wu restrainedly waved her hands and said, "Miss, don't worry about me. I'm getting old, and I don't feel dizzy. I'd better wait for the young lady and the second young lady to finish eating and tidy up before going to bed."

"Then you can figure it out on your own. If you are too tired, go to bed first." Chu Ci explained again, and then took Yi Ying to the Nuan Pavilion next door.

In the Warm Pavilion, Aunt Wu really prepared everything. The red and white hot pots were bubbling, and on the table next to them were thinly sliced ​​beef and mutton, as well as neatly sliced ​​mushrooms and white meat. Chinese cabbage, tofu, green bamboo shoots, fungus, etc...

"Sit down quickly, eat it while it's hot!" Chu Ci smiled at Yiying, and then explained to her in detail how to eat this hot pot.

Yiying's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was sweating profusely after eating.

Even the oil dish, I tried several kinds according to Chu Ci's recommendation.

At the end, she hugged Chu Ci's arm tightly, and smiled innocently, "Sister, just because of this hot pot, I will rely on you for the rest of my life... In our southern border, there is no For such a delicious thing, two flavors can be cooked in one pot, which is great!"

Chu Ci had endless aftertaste for this hot pot meal.

Although the mandarin duck pot has been prepared a long time ago, she has never tried it.

She also didn't expect that the first time she used it, it was with this sister who met by chance and was married to Jinlan.

"Actually, if you like, this pot can be made into four grids, nine grids..."

Hearing what she said, Yi Ying immediately made a decision, "Then when I have time, I must try it!"

Chu Ci let out a "hmm", followed, and left her to talk for a while, before sending her back to her room.

As soon as she left, Queen Lu Xiaojun walked in from the outside, looked at Chu Ci with a displeased face, and said, "Lady, when are you going to send that girl away! Since you have her, I will come into your room." It's like being a thief!"

"Then you can come in openly!" Chu Ci shot him a look, "I won't be jealous!"

"Forget it!" King Lu Xiaojun sat down on Luohan's bed, looked at her and hummed softly, "My lady, you won't be jealous, you'll destroy me directly!"

After finishing speaking, he complained again, "Such a fragrant hot pot should have been eaten by us as a husband and wife sitting opposite each other, lovingly until the candle shadows are glowing, but my lady, you just gave your first time to that girl! "It caused him to squat in the study, almost breaking two brushes!

Chu Ci didn't expect that he would even eat this kind of vinegar, so he coughed lightly, glared at him, and said, "The more you talk, the more outrageous it is! Besides... I'm just here to thank her for finding out the poison for us. Master's whereabouts, did you prepare a hot pot for her?"

"So, that Gu master is really in the capital?" Lu Xiaojun Wang's originally annoyed face hardened suddenly, looking at Chu Ci and asked solemnly.

Chu Ci nodded, "It's in the Compassion Palace!"

Hearing this, King Lu Xiaojun immediately became angry. He stood up, slapped the table hard, and roared through gritted teeth, "Meng Jing!!!"

This guy is too dark, he's all in jail!She even managed to black him out!
He couldn't imagine, if Chu Ci couldn't restrain Yi Ying, what would happen to him for the rest of his life!
Is being a walking dead?Still buy drunk day and night with resentment, and drink for life!
Damn Meng Jing!It's too much!He wanted to completely destroy him!

Chu Ci saw King Lu Xiaojun's anger, and in order to avoid suspicion, she didn't even dare to persuade him.

In the end, he just said cautiously, "Sanggong, didn't he succeed? Don't be angry!"

"No, he almost succeeded!" King Lu Xiaojun looked at Chu Ci with scarlet eyes, his hands trembling slightly, and he smiled wryly, "Lady, you know that when I decided to compromise with Yiying, I had something in my heart. How painful is it, how cold is it? All night... I walked on Zhuque Street all night under the heavy snow, and when I arrived at Desheng Building the next day, I was frozen and covered in icicles... ...Miss, you don't know how desperate and painful I was at that time!"

Hearing what he said, Chu Ci froze there.

She knew from Zhejin that there was a heavy snowfall in the capital two days ago, and that the temperature dropped sharply in those two days, even if the earth dragon was burned, it would still be very cold.

But the only thing she didn't know was that her husband actually walked on Zhuque Street all night under the heavy snow.

Thinking of what Yi Ying told her, she sealed his internal energy with Gu.

... Then at that time, he was only wearing a single coat and a pair of cloth boots, how cold it was!

Thinking of him in the blizzard that night, her heart felt like falling into a frozen lake in the twelfth lunar month of winter, stinging and cold at the same time.

After a long time, her eyes were red, across the kang table, she tightly held King Lu Xiaojun's hand, and murmured "Xianggong".

When King Lu Xiaojun saw her distressed so much, he felt a wave of reluctance for a while.

He shook her hand back, tried his best to smile, and persuaded in a warm voice, "Okay, lady, don't be sad, isn't this already over?"

"It's over, let's not talk about it, okay?"

But when Chu Ci heard what he said, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing this, King Lu Xiaojun had no choice but to walk around the kang table, hugged her tightly in his arms, and coaxed her softly, "My lady, don't cry, don't cry, we will get along well and get along well in the future after going through this calamity." Forever..."

……

At the same time, the third cell of Dali Temple.

Han Zhe sneaked in quietly, bowed his hands to Meng Jing, who had his back turned to him, and called "Prince".

"How's the situation at the Chu residence?" Meng Jing stood facing the prison wall for a while, then turned her head and asked in a deep voice.

Han Zhe sighed, and then truthfully said, "My lord miscalculated, Dr. Chu and that Yiying girl are old friends, and under her mediation, Yiying girl agreed to wait three to five years before mentioning this marriage. "

"In addition, Doctor Chu has already found out the whereabouts of Gu Tang through Miss Yi Ying, and the words that the prince Tuo Ning concubine communicated with Lu Xiaojun's king... must have revealed the truth."

After listening to Han Zhe's report, Meng Jing turned the sapphire finger on his thumb with a gloomy expression. After a long time, he replied in a deep voice, "This king knows."

Han Zhe lowered his head, the matter has come to this point, and he doesn't know what to say.

There always seems to be a gap between their prince and Doctor Chu.

When the relationship between the two was the strongest, Princess Qixin appeared.

Later, Princess Qixin was finally willing to let go, but Dr. Chu had already married someone else in Jinling...

And this time, it was only a little short, and the prince's tricks succeeded, but who would have thought that Dr. Chu had some old stories with the Nanjiang Gu girls, so he calmly resolved their prince's tricks.

There is no fate in the floating world, and love is hard to grow old!Maybe this is the fate of the two of them, Han Zhe thought sadly and helplessly.

Meng Jing didn't know what Han Zhe was thinking.

After he was silent for a long time, he turned his gaze back, gave him a cold look, and said, "What about the other thing my king ordered you to do? Is there still no news?"

Hearing this, Han Zhe cupped his hands and said with an embarrassed expression, "If you go back to the prince, none of the old people beside the concubine, or the old people released from the Palace of Compassion and Peace, are alive. After they left the palace, they were not robbed by bandits. It’s just that there are all sorts of accidents…”

"According to what you said, can't you find a witness to prove the identity of this king?"

Han Zhe was silent.

Meng Jing sighed deeply, and then asked again, "Then those old nuns who were raised in the palace...didn't they meet with their family members?"

Han Zhe thought for a moment, and said, "No, I remember that there was a Nanny Wu in the Empress Dowager's palace. When she left the palace, her nephew came to pick her up at the gate of the palace. However, Nanny Wu didn't talk to her at the time. The nephew walked together, and I don't know what excuse she used, first coaxed the nephew to the inn, and then she was trampled to death by a crazy horse on Dezheng Street!"

"What year was that?"

"The year of Bingchen." Han Zhe said without thinking, paused, and added, "Because it is the same year as the prince's birthday, so I remember the humble position very clearly."

"Bingchen year..." Meng Jing read these three words in a low voice, her eyes sharpened suddenly, she looked at Han Zhe, and confessed, "You should check on that nephew of Nanny Wu now, and you must ask him clearly. Did my aunt give him anything back then!"

"My lord suspects that Nanny Wu was silenced?"

"I can't help this king not to doubt it. The time when this Madam Wu left the palace and the time when she had an accident are too suspicious... If she is really related to this king's identity, and she chooses to dismiss his nephew wisely after leaving the palace , then she will definitely leave some clues."

"Then I'm going to investigate that Nanny Wu's nephew!" Han Zhe said immediately.

Meng Jing nodded and watched him turn and leave.

As for Han Zhe, after leaving the Dali Temple, he headed for Qinglongwei's foothold in the capital...

After some investigation down.

What he never expected was that Qinglongwei actually found out about Chu's house again.

The nephew that Madam Wu sent away at that time was the housekeeper Wu Bo that Chu Ci had just bought when he bought property in the capital.

Chu House, Chu Ci listened to Zhejin's report, Han Zhe came to visit late at night, hesitated for a long time, and then asked her to invite him to the pharmacy.

In the pharmacy, Han Zhe always felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Chu Ci again.

He bit the bullet and stepped forward to salute.

But Chu Ci didn't have the intention to shout, just looked at him coldly, and said, "Go back and tell your master, next time you do something wrong, you must do it cleanly! Let him not forget, the two of them A son is still surnamed Lu..."

Hearing her slightly mocking words, Han Zhe's face suddenly burned.

He didn't even dare to lift his head, and just clapped his hands in a muffled reply.

Seeing that he was still ashamed, Chu Ci finally calmed down a bit.

After a moment's delay, he said again, "Come on, what do you want from me?"

Han Zhe hurriedly told about Nanny Wu.

Although Chu Ci was angry with Meng Jing, he couldn't just watch him being wronged like this.

He answered "Understood", and ordered Zhejin, who was waiting outside, to call the housekeeper over.

After receiving the order, the butler naturally rushed to the pharmacy immediately.

After saluting, Chu Ci looked at him and asked, "Uncle Wu, I remember that it was written in the deed of sale that your ancestral home is Changzhou, right?"

Hearing this, the housekeeper bowed his waist and nodded, "Yes, miss, I remember, the old man is from Changzhou."

"Then you still have an aunt who works in the palace?" Chu Ci asked again.

Now, the butler's face changed, and after a long time, he lowered his head and said sullenly, "Returning to the girl, I used to have an aunt who worked in the palace, but... the aunt has passed away for decades! "

"Then, did your aunt give you anything? After she left the palace?"

Hearing Chu Ci's question, the housekeeper frowned and pondered for a long time before saying, "I remember, that year was the year of Bingchen. A few months earlier, the family received a letter from my aunt, saying that she was going to be raised in the palace. The old slave My father only had this one elder sister, so the relationship between the two of them should be as small as possible, so the father asked the old slave to come to Beijing to pick up his aunt... But the old slave never expected that on that day, something happened to her aunt, and she was on the street. , was trampled to death by Crazy Horse!"

Speaking of this, there were muddy tears rolling in the butler's eyes.

He raised his hand, wiped it with his sleeve, and then choked up, and continued, "Speaking of presents, my aunt has asked someone to send a lot to my home in those years, but the old slave is keeping only my aunt. The letter I sent home that year, and the silk handkerchief that my aunt accidentally dropped when she sent me back to the inn."

Hearing what he said, Chu Ci's eyes moved slightly, then looked at him, and asked softly, "Will Uncle Wu show me the letter and handkerchief?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, girl, wait, this old slave will go get it now!" Uncle Wu didn't ask why, he heard Chu Ci's request, turned around and went back to get it.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Chu Ci took a box from Uncle Wu.

The box contains the letter and handkerchief that Uncle Wu said.

It's been 30 years and both things are a little yellowed.

The paper is even a little brittle.

Chuci read it over and found that it was an ordinary letter from home.

That veil is also made of ordinary Hang Jin.

After all, it is used by palace people, so it cannot be said that the material is very good, but it is a little better than ordinary wealthy people.

What was embroidered on the handkerchief was not flowers and plants, but an octagonal pavilion. Inside the pavilion lay a white-haired old man lying sideways with jugs of wine in disorder.

Since he had never seen such embroidery before, Chu Ci couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Han Zhe waited cautiously by the side, and after a while he asked tentatively, "Have you seen anything about the concubine Shizi?"

Chu Ci shook his head, then handed the letter and handkerchief to him, and said, "You can read it too!"
