Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 121 Writing the Recipe

Chu Ci knew that the two of them had never dealt with each other since they were in Jinling, and he also knew that he wanted to pair Yiying and Xiao Zhenyun together. Another reason was that Xiao Zhenyun also had some kind of interest in her, but she Reluctant to bring this up.

Therefore, listening to King Lu Xiaojun complaining like this, he just said, "Actually, no matter who it is, just help me get rid of that bad breath."

King Lu Xiaojun pursed his lips when he heard the words, and wanted to say a few more words.

But before he could speak, Chu Ci took a step ahead of him, and said, "By the way, did Marquis Dingnan tell you when Niu Huahuaer came to the capital? Was she alone, or was her aunt Mrs. Xiao also?" coming?"

King Lu Xiaojun shook his head, "He didn't say anything about this, I met him on the road when I came back from the Prince's Mansion, and I thought he was an unmarried young talent, so I brought him back. Show Yiying, as for his cousin, I don't know which corner she jumped out of... When Uncle Wu opened the door, she suddenly ran over from the alley!"

Hearing what he said, Chu Ci thought, Niu Huaer should have followed her cousin all the way here.As for why she didn't show up early, it should be because she was afraid of showing up too early, and her cousin sent her back.

That's why he deliberately followed Chu's residence and showed up.

Facts have proved that in doing so, she did follow up successfully.

But it’s not worth the candle!

She probably never dreamed that her cousin would hit her acupuncture points so viciously and throw her on someone else's chopping board.

"What is the lady thinking?" Seeing that his wife had been silent for a long time, King Lu Xiaojun couldn't help asking with his cheek.

When Chu Ci heard him speak, his thoughts were pulled back all of a sudden, he curled his lips, and said with a slight smile, "I was wondering if Mrs. Xiao came to Beijing. If not, then Niu Huahua'er will probably be beaten up like this." It's nothing, but if Mrs. Xiao comes to the capital, I'm afraid...she will rely on her elders to make trouble for me."

Hearing what she said, King Lu Xiaojun had a flash of contempt in his eyes, "Jinling is the old base of Xiao Zhenyun's mud-legged man, and there are many others. I dare not touch his family members, but the capital city Not necessarily! If the old woman dares to come, I will settle with her, including my grandmother!"

"Young Master is mighty!" Chu Ci saw his sudden momentum, smiled sweetly at him, and said loudly.

Hearing this, King Lu Xiaojun raised his chin and glanced at her. There seemed to be thousands of stars shining in his black pupils. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "My lady's mouth is so sweet!"

Chu Ci pursed his lips and smiled.

After a moment's pause, he asked about Lu Zhaohua's marriage, and said, "Zhaohua only has an elder brother like you, so you must be the one to marry him?"

King Lu Xiaojun nodded, looked at her, and said sternly, "It's natural. What my parents mean is that after seven days, I will pay homage to the county palace first, entertain relatives, friends and officials in the capital, and then wait for three dynasties to return. Let me marry you, send my younger sister and younger sister-in-law back to Jinling, and pay homage to the Qin family again!"

"That's right!" Chu Ci nodded, expressing his understanding.

King Lu Xiaojun looked at her face, coughed lightly, looked at her deeply, and said, "The lady is also Zhaohua's only sister-in-law, why don't you come along for a trip to Jinling?"

Chu Ci: "..."

King Lu Xiaojun continued his efforts, looked at her eagerly, and said, "Lady, it will take at least three or four months to go back and forth this time. Could it be that you have the heart to be separated from your husband for three or four months?"

"I think I can bear it." Chu Ci gritted his teeth and said cautiously.

After King Lu Xiaojun heard this, his face turned dark all of a sudden, but his eyes became more and more moist and pitiful, and he almost carved a sentence on his forehead - please my lady, just follow me!

"You make me think again!" Chu Ci's heart was sore and itchy when he saw him, and he accidentally gave him a little hope.

Hearing this, King Lu Xiaojun moved to her side in a jerk, then held her hand, stared into her eyes and said, "My lady, are you willing to promise me?"

"I just said, I'll think about it again!" Chu Ci said with difficulty.

She wanted to withdraw her hand, but... she couldn't.

King Lu Xiaojun continued to look at her, launching an eye attack pitifully.

It wasn't until Chu Ci couldn't take it anymore and agreed to accompany him to marry and go back to Jinling that he let go of her hand, then pulled her into his arms, and kissed her hard.

Chu Ci was almost out of breath by his kiss, his face was as red as a boiled shrimp.

King Lu Xiaojun let her go, and was amused again when he saw it. He gently stroked her hot cheek with his thumb, and said in a deep voice, "The lady has two children. Unexpectedly, she is still shy as always..."

"You!" Chu Ci was annoyed, clenched his fist, and punched him hard on the shoulder.

After beating, seeing that he was smiling more proudly, she twisted the soft flesh around his waist even more annoyedly, and pointed at his burning ear, "Have you not tried needle pricking for a long time?" I feel like I'm panicking?"

As soon as King Lu Xiaojun heard the word "needle sticking", his upper body trembled immediately, then he turned his face as quickly as possible, looked at the little daughter-in-law in his arms flatteringly, and said, "My lady, I know I was wrong. , I know I was wrong, I will never dare to tease my wife after I become a husband, and I hope my wife will let me off this time!"

"That's about the same!" Chu Ci withdrew his hand, patted him lightly, and gave him a threatening look before getting up and leaving!

Touching the red hot ears, I hid in the pharmacy!

Let's talk about the palace.

Dr. Liang was leading the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital to persist in the Compassionate Peace Palace for several days, but he couldn't find a way to wake up the Empress Dowager Ren.

In desperation, he had no choice but to raise his head and kneel to the imperial concubine's side, asking her to persuade Emperor Jingming to save the queen mother's life first, and then make other plans later.

Otherwise, if this continues, the Empress Dowager's body will only get weaker and weaker until the oil runs out and the lamp dries up.

But the imperial concubine had no influence in the palace, and the Ning family had no right to speak in the court.

Seeing so many imperial physicians begging her in front of her now, after thinking for a long time, she finally agreed.

That night, she took Prince Meng Yu and Aju to Qianyuan Hall.

In the Qianyuan Hall, Emperor Jingming was looking at the memorials of the past few days with a look of irritability.

Hearing that the imperial concubine brought the prince to see him suddenly, his face suddenly softened, and he said to Li Zhong who was close to him, "Hurry up, go and invite Yun'er and the imperial concubine in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Zhong bowed in response, and then walked out in person.

After a while, he came in with the imperial concubine and the prince.

The two greeted Emperor Jingming together, and Emperor Jingming shouted, got up and walked around the dragon case and walked towards the two.

He gently touched Meng Yu's still thin face, and asked distressedly, "Why is Meng Yu still so thin? But the servants are not careful, or the food cooked by the imperial chef is not delicious enough? Tell father, father The emperor decides for you!"

Hearing this, Meng Yu hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted again, then said to Emperor Jingming respectfully, "Going back to the emperor, it's not about the palace people's business, the servants in the East Palace are very careful, and the food cooked by the imperial chef is also very good. Ke Ke, the reason why my son has no appetite has nothing to do with others, it is just because he misses the emperor's grandmother..."

"Okay, good boy!" Emperor Jingming immediately praised Meng Yu's words, regardless of whether they were true or not, touched his thin face, and said with emotion, "Your concubine taught you very well."

"Your Majesty, these are what courtiers and concubines should do." When the imperial concubine heard that Emperor Jingming mentioned herself, she immediately stepped forward with red eyes and said, "The only thought that the emperor left for ministers and concubines How could he not discipline him well? The concubine always only wants the emperor to be happy, and does not want the emperor to be disappointed!"

"Good! Good!" Emperor Jingming stretched out his hand and held the imperial concubine's hand tightly. Through the dim candlelight, he looked at her tear-stained eyes but became more and more tender and said repeatedly, "You are also a good man!" Yes! Your mother and son are my lucky stars."

When the imperial concubine heard Emperor Jing Ming's praise, she hugged her son beside her calmly, and the two looked at Emperor Jing Ming more and more dependently and affectionately.

As Emperor Jingming watched, he was naturally more satisfied and proud.

After a long time, the imperial concubine tentatively looked at the mountain of memorials on the dragon case, and asked, "It's so late, has the emperor had dinner yet?"

Emperor Jingming followed her gaze to look at the dragon case, then sighed, and said, "You have seen it too, with so many excerpts, plus the illness of the queen mother, I don't have the energy and mood to have dinner!"

"It just so happens that the concubine and Lu'er haven't eaten yet..." The imperial concubine said in a low voice, "Why don't you let Lu'er eat with the emperor?"

When Emperor Jing Ming heard that his beloved son hadn't eaten, he immediately turned his head and ordered Li Zhong to go to the imperial dining room and order him to cook more dishes that the prince likes to eat.

Li Zhong heard the words, bowed and promised his life, and then retreated outward.

This night, the lights of Qianyuan Hall have been on for a long time...

On the second day, another imperial decree came out of the palace, ordering the concubine of Nanjun Prince's Mansion to enter the palace to treat the empress dowager.

When Chu Ci received the imperial edict, he quietly asked the eunuch who passed the edict a few words about the process of the emperor changing his mind.

Although the eunuch passing the decree was careful, seeing the weight of the purse that Chu Ci handed over, he finally let go a little, and mentioned the matter of the imperial concubine and the prince having dinner with Emperor Jingming last night.

Listen to Chu Ci.

After thinking about it a few times, I understood...

Entering the palace today, she is still wearing Zhejin and Zhexia on her face.Qingsan and Qingsi followed in secret.

After arriving at the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager's bedroom was no longer bustling, and there were only four people left, Emperor Jingming, Imperial Concubine, Ju Rui and Liang Yizheng.

Chu Ci stepped forward and saluted Emperor Jingming and the imperial concubine first.

After Emperor Jingming called out, Ju Rui and Liang Yizheng saluted her again.

Chu Ci smiled faintly at the two of them, then turned his head and looked straight at Emperor Jingming, and said, "The emperor has already made a decision?"

Emperor Jing Ming nodded, "Well, I've already made up my mind. I also ask the Shizi Concubine to give the needle, and wake up the mother first!"

As for what will happen in the future, you can adjust it step by step. As long as you are alive, you will get better one day.This is also what Yun'er told him yesterday when he was celebrating in Qianyuan Hall.

As long as people are alive, there are thousands of possibilities.

When you die, there is nothing left!
Seeing Emperor Jing Ming's attitude, Chu Ci shook his head slowly.

"What does Shi Zifei mean?" Emperor Jingming's face changed, and he asked nervously, "Could it be that, after a few days of delay, the empress mother has already..."

"Your servant doesn't mean that!"

"Then why are you shaking your head?" Emperor Jing Ming asked anxiously and cautiously.

Chu Ci hooked his lips, "What I mean by shaking her head is that I have never said that I need to use needles to save the Queen Mother!"

"No needling?" Emperor Jing Ming was at a loss, unbelievable, "No needling? What else can I do?"

Chu Ci directly took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve and handed it to Dr. Liang Zhengdao, "Feed three pills a day to the queen mother, and the queen mother will wake up within three days!"

"Secret Concubine Shizi's words are serious?" Doctor Liang asked complicatedly while looking at the medicine bottle in his hand.

Chu Ci's expression was light, "Of course it's true."

Otherwise, what would I do for you!
She cursed in her heart.

Emperor Jing Ming didn't suspect anything, he looked straight at Liang Yizheng, and then cursed, "Since the imperial concubine has already given the medicine, why are you dawdling, why don't you give it to the queen mother!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Doctor Liang turned around and replied with a embarrassed face, then took two steps forward, and with the help of Ju Rui, he fed the medicine to the Queen Mother.

"If the emperor has no other orders, then the courtiers will step down first!" Chu Ci watched the queen mother take the medicine, and then bid farewell to Emperor Jingming.

Hearing this, Emperor Jing Ming frowned and looked at her, and said, "If you want to go back, you can go back first, but remember, if something happens to the queen mother, you must be there immediately!"

"Naturally!" Chu Ci agreed.

After finishing the work, he saluted again, and then walked outside.

Outside, Zhejin and Zhexia have been looking forward to it.

Seeing Chu Ci come out, the two immediately ran to her and said, "Miss, is it resolved?"

Chu Ci nodded and said with a smile, "It's solved!"

Finally solved it!
In the future, Mrs. Ren will no longer be able to issue orders behind her back, what kind of trouble will she be given!
As for Emperor Jingming, that idiot emperor, even if there were another dozen, she would not be afraid!

Hearing what she said, Zhejin and Zhexia breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her relaxed expression.

The three of them walked straight to the palace gate.

An hour later, the carriage stopped outside the Chu residence.

After Chu Ci got out of the car, he saw another carriage that did not belong to the Chu residence.

Moreover, the car was very simple, it didn't look like it belonged to a wealthy family at all, but it was somewhat similar to a horse-drawn carriage on the street.

After arriving at the door, Zhexia stepped forward and knocked on the door of Chu Residence.

Chu Ci walked in with the two maidservants, and asked Steward Wu, "Uncle Wu, who owns the carriage outside? But there are guests at home again?"

Butler Wu heard Chu Ci's question, and hurriedly replied, "If it's a girl, it's a little maid, who is said to be from the Qu family."

The people of the song family...

Chu Ci thought for a while, and found out that the people from the Qu family seemed to know the family of Mrs. Ren's natal family.

Could it be that Qu Dingjun's condition has repeated again?

Thinking like this, she walked in quickly.

When we arrived in the living room, there was indeed a little maid in a blue dress waiting inside, at this moment, Aunt Wu was sitting with her.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Aunt Wu put down her work and raised her head subconsciously.

Seeing that it was Chu Ci, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she immediately stood up, walked towards her and said, "The girl is back!" Then, she looked back at the little maid in blue and said, "This The girl is from the Qu family, she said she had something to do with the girl... I saw that she really knew the girl, so I brought her in and waited here!"

"I see!" Chu Ci smiled at Aunt Wu, then looked at the little girl and asked, "Are you from the Qu family? Are you from the second master Qu's yard?"

Hearing her question, the little servant girl quickly knelt down to salute, and then said, "If you come back to Shizifei, the maidservant's name is Qing He, and she is from the Qu family, but not from the second master's courtyard, but from the old lady's courtyard. "

"In the old lady's courtyard, why did you come to me?" Chu Ci looked at her and asked softly,

The little maid heard the words, but she didn't immediately explain the reason for her visit. Instead, she looked at Aunt Wu and said cautiously, "Miss, forgive me, the master has said it. The words of slaves can only be said to the girl alone! You can't tell others. listen."

"Then... I'll go out now!" Hearing what Qing He said, Aunt Wu smiled at Chu Ci again, turned around and was about to leave.

Chu Ci stopped Aunt Wu, she looked at her, and said gently, "Aunt Wu doesn't need to shy away, I'll take her back to the study and talk about it!"

As she spoke, she looked at Qing He again, motioning for her to follow.

Qing Heben just accepted the master's order, and didn't say anything at the moment, got up from the ground, followed Chu Ci and walked out.

In this way, the two walked all the way to the study.

Qing He personally closed the door of the study room again, making sure that there was no one in the room, and then looked at Chu Ci, and said, "I want to report to the concubine, although the servants are from the old lady's courtyard of the Qu family, they are not from the old lady. but..."

"What is it?" Chu Ci followed Qing He's words and asked.

Qing He gritted her teeth, and then said, "This servant is actually the second aunt's."

Second aunt, isn't that the second Mrs. Ren?

Hearing what she said, Chu Ci nodded, "I see, and then, why did your second aunt ask you to come to me?"

"If you go back to the concubine, the second aunt asked the maidservant to come to the Chu residence in the east of the city in person, and then told the concubine that a new face suddenly appeared in the Marquis of Cheng'en's mansion a few days ago. She didn't pay much attention at first. A few days later, she accidentally heard from the eldest lady that that strange face was actually a Gu master!"

"Gu Master?" Chu Ci frowned, pretending to be surprised on purpose.

Hearing that she was so aggressive, Qinghe bit her lower lip again, and then said, "Yes, it's a Gu master! Then the second aunt knew about Shi Zifei's voodoo a few days ago, so...so she suspected that the voodoo The master is the Gu master who attacked the concubine at the beginning!"

"Is there anything else?" Chu Ci calmed down his emotions slightly, then looked at Qing He, and asked again.

Qinghe said, "The second aunt said that she was very grateful for the kindness of the concubine Shizi for saving the second master, so she didn't want the concubine to be recruited again without investigating, so she asked the servant to come and remind the concubine Shizi , let the concubine be on guard against everyone in the Marquis of Cheng'en's mansion, especially... the eldest lady!"

"Ren Qiu?" Chu Ci read out the name, she took a deep look at Qing He, and asked, "Then why should you focus on guarding against Ren Qiu?"

Qinghe said, "As for the concubine, what the second aunt overheard that night was the dispute between the eldest lady and the eldest wife. The eldest lady wanted to learn Gu poison self-defense with that Gu master, but the eldest wife did not agree! So... That's why Second Aunt Grandma asked this servant to remind you like this!"

"I see!" Chu Ci listened to her saying this for a long time, then nodded, then looked at her and said, "Thank you and your second aunt for reminding me, this kindness, I, Chu Ci, will definitely do it in the future." Report to each other!"

Hearing this, Qing He repeatedly said, "Don't dare!"
Then he said something else to Chu Ci before bowing and retreating.

Chu Ci was worried that the little girl would leave by herself, so after she left, she called Zhe Xia in again, and asked her to escort the little girl secretly, and help her erase all traces of coming to Chu Ci.

Zhe Xia never said a word about Chu Ci's orders, and immediately, he responded and retreated.

When she came back to return to her life, it was already two hours later.

"Returning to the girl, the servant has already erased all the traces of the little girl leaving the house along the way. This incident will definitely not implicate her in the future!"

Zhe Xia knelt in front of Chu Ci, speaking seriously.

Hearing this, Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his hand, and said to her, "I'm sorry for your trouble this time! Later, I will ask Aunt Wu to cook a delicious meal for you!"

Hearing this, Zhe Xia hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "Miss, you don't need it, slaves are yours, and it's their duty to help you with things!"

"Then just treat it as helping me try dishes!" Chu Ci smiled at her, and then mentioned that she was going to open a restaurant and launch some new dishes.

After hearing this, Zhe Xia came to her senses, and said bluntly, "The sentimental girl didn't specially reward slaves at all, she just took a fancy to slaves' tongue!"

Although Chu Ci really thought so in his heart, he still felt a little more embarrassed when he was poked by his maidservant.

Looking at her, he coughed lightly and said, "It's good that you know it yourself, why did you want to expose me, your girl? Do I want to lose face?"

Hearing what she said, Zhexia couldn't help showing a few smiles on her face that was usually as cold as ice, and cupped her hands again, and said in a warm voice, "Yes, girl, this servant has made a note, there will be another time, Make sure not to poke the girl!"

"Okay, okay, go down, I'll write out the recipe later, and I'll ask you to try it!" Chu Ci waved her hand, signaling her to go down first.

Zhexia gave a "hmm", then turned her head and walked outside without stopping.

As for Chuci, after Zhexia left, he didn't write the recipe immediately, but was thinking about the words that the second wife Ren asked Qinghe to bring her.

She thought to herself, next time there is a banquet or something, she has to be careful of Miss Ren and Ren Qiu!

And Yi Ying, she also had to remind her that when she went to Cheng Enhou's mansion in the future, not only should she be careful of that Chang San hiding in the dark, but also be careful of other people in Cheng Enhou's mansion!
Who knows, besides Ren Qiu, is there anyone else in Cheng Enhou's mansion who is learning Gu skills from Chang San.

If you are too careless, you will inevitably stumble.

Thinking in this way, she planned for a while, and then started to write the recipe!
