Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 141 Saving lives is like putting out a fire

"Sister, what do you want to tell me..." Under Chu Ci's eager, murderous gaze, Yi Ying finally woke up faintly, shook her head, looked at her and asked.

Chu Ci grasped her hand, then looked at her clear eyes, and quickly told what Jueming was going to do to King Lu Xiaojun and King Nanjun.

After Yi Ying finished listening, she was completely awake. She shook Chu Ci's hand vigorously, and asked, "So my sister wants Qingsan and Qingsi to catch up with Yifeng and the county prince and protect them?"

"That's right, that's what I mean. If possible, I would like to borrow some Gu worms that can kill people..."

Yiying listened to Chuci's words, rolled her eyeballs, then raised a hand to touch her snowy chin, and said, "Qingsan and Qingsi belong to my sister, my sister wants to Take it back whenever you want, I am not reluctant, but Gu worms are not so easy to borrow from others, especially murderous Gu worms... If there is no one who controls the Gu worms, those little things don’t matter Friends and foes, if there is a slight mistake, there will be big trouble!"

"Since Gu Chong can't be borrowed, then you can continue to rest. I'll go find Qingsan and Qingsi and let them go on the road immediately!" Chu Ci didn't delay much, patted Yiying's face, turned around and was about to leave .

Seeing that Chu Ci was about to leave without saying a word, Yiying hurriedly reached out and grabbed her skirt and held her back, and shouted anxiously, "Sister, why are you so anxious! I haven't finished yet!"

"Huh?" Chu Ci turned his head, frowned and looked at her again.

Afraid that Chu Ci would throw her off again, Yiying quickly smiled, and said like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, "Sister, don't worry, although I can't lend you Gu worms, I can go!"

"Are you going?" Chu Ci glanced at her thin and small body, and then thought about her usual mount, the white deer, and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure that your white deer can catch up to four of them?" Horseshoe?"

Yiying didn't expect that Chuci would suddenly attack her white deer, and she immediately got annoyed, snorted unhappily, and said, "Who said I want to chase people on a white deer! Can't I change the way? "

"Life is at stake, Yiying, can you stop making trouble!" Seeing that Yiying was still playing with a temper at this time, Chu Ci didn't even think about it, and immediately shook her hand away, He walked out without looking back.

No matter what Yiying called her from behind, she would not look back.

Yiying had no choice but to get out of bed and chase him out.

When she brought some useful Gu worms to the door of Xie Ciju, Qing San and Qing Si had just finished listening to Chu Ci's instructions and were about to leave.

"Brother Qingsi!" Her eyes lit up, and she threw herself into Qingsi's arms without hesitation, raised her head and looked into his eyes and said, "Sister said that my Gu technique can kill and save lives, she let you Take me to chase Brother Yifeng... I have seen your lightness kung fu before, even if you hug me, the speed can still be as fast as a hard-earned BMW that travels thousands of miles in a day... At that time, we will definitely be able to beat my sister's by combining three prongs... Xianggong and the county prince are very protective, don't you think so?"

Hearing what Yiying said, Qingsi didn't agree to her immediately, but glanced at her indifferently, then turned his eyes on Chu Ci's face, and asked, "Is that what the girl means?"

Chu Ci glanced at Qingsi, who was stuck in Qingsi's embrace, and then at Qingsi who was so happy, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded at the two and said, "Saving people is like putting out a fire, you guys are on your way!  … Give me a word to my son-in-law again, let him go back with peace of mind, once the weather calms down here in the capital, I will immediately take my two children back to Jinling to accompany him!"

"Yes, girl!" Qingsan and Qingsi replied in unison, then turned around at the same time, and left like two whirlwinds.

After they left, Chu Ci stood in the courtyard with a sad face for a long time, and she didn't return to Xie Ciju until the fine snowflakes fell from the sky again.

The master bedroom is deserted, even if the earth dragon is burned, it is still deserted.

She thought about it, and simply ordered Qing Miao to let her and Yun Niang move the two little treasures in Dongci room.

Lu Xiaojun Wang's biological mother passed away. As a son, he has to observe mourning for three years, which means that when he returns to the Chu residence, it will only be three years later.

It is harmless to move the two little babies over now.

Both Qing Miao and Yun Niang are submissive and obedient, as soon as Chu Ci ordered them, they immediately did it.

But within half an hour, all the things belonging to Xiaoer and Xin'er in Dongci's room were moved over.

Chu Ci was sitting on Luohan's bed, wearing a white padded skirt, holding Xin'er in his arms, Xiao Er on his lap, and the three of them were playing the game of insects flying...

Accompanied by Yunniang and Qingmiao, the room finally felt warm for a while.

On the other side, the Prince Regent's Palace.

Meng Jing didn't receive the news from the dark guard until the end of the ugly night.

"My lord, the concubine of Nanjun Palace didn't take Young Master Xiaoer and Young Master Xin'er back to Jinling, but moved the two children to her own room, and they are already asleep now!" The dark guard cupped his hands respectfully, looking at My master reported.

……

"She didn't go back to Jinling?" A look of surprise appeared on Meng Jing's face.

He tapped the table with his right index finger lightly. He had to say that Chu Ci's actions this time really surprised him. Originally, he thought that if King Lu Xiaojun was in trouble, even if there were thousands of dangers in front of her, she They will all be ruled out, and we must rush to him to accompany him and protect him.

But she didn't!
With this doubt, he stood up slowly, walked around the desk, and walked back and forth in the study... He didn't stop until a long time later.

At this time, he also wanted to understand that she must have stayed for the sake of the children, and the two children were less than six months old.

No matter how well the carriage was arranged on the way to Jinling, and no matter how good her medical skills were, she did not dare to bet on the one in ten thousand chance of an accident.

Because Xin'er's lung meridian was damaged last time, she had already shed too many tears, and she could no longer believe in the endurance of the two children.

Thinking of this, the cute faces of the two children also appeared in front of him.

Meng Jing thought for a while, but he still couldn't hold back, and asked someone to prepare a carriage. He wanted to go and see his two children, who were his flesh and blood, and his only remaining relatives.

Or even if you can't see them with your own eyes, it's good to be closer to them.

Han Cang boarded the car with Meng Jing. After he got in the car, he immediately closed the windows tightly and put down the cotton curtains.

After the two sat down, they rattled forward beside the carriage.

Meng Jing's face was covered with cyan, and she leaned a little tiredly on the big pillow behind her, panting lightly.

When the carriage ran half the distance, he suddenly raised his head, as if remembering something, looked at Han Cang and asked, "By the way, where is Han Zhe? How is his injury?"

Han Cang didn't expect his master to mention Han Zhe again. He pondered for a moment before he said, "Brother's injury is too serious, almost on par with the prince's. Even if he recovers in the future, I'm afraid he will be a useless person."

"Really?" Meng Jing raised his eyebrows. On this night when his mind was suddenly clear, he looked at the bodyguard who was close at hand, and added lightly, "Then tell the coachman to drive the car to Han. Chuang Tzu who is recuperating, I, the master, should go see him too!"

Han Cang was taken aback, and after a while, he turned his head to look at the master with deep and shining eyes, and said stiffly, "But master, don't you want to go to the Chu residence?"

"This king wants to see Han Zhe again now. No matter what, he was injured because of this king." Meng Jing explained.

Han Cang was speechless all of a sudden.

Han Zhe is dead, and his bones have been buried. Where did he get a seriously injured Han Zhe for his master!

Thinking of this, his complexion became even worse!

Meng Jing could clearly see the changes in the expressions of the guards around him, his heart sank instantly, he sighed a long time, and said, "Finally, what happened to Ai Hanzhe, you don't have to be afraid that this king will not be able to bear it, This king... can hold on!"

"Brother is dead." Under Meng Jing's pressure step by step, Han Cang finally revealed the truth.

After Meng Jing finished listening, his body froze again, and his face turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye... He leaned forward, bent over and coughed violently.

Seeing this, Han Cang hurriedly knelt on the ground and gently healed Meng Jing's luck.

He took care of it so carefully.

After a cup of tea, Meng Jing finally stopped coughing and sat up straight.

Han Cang didn't dare to speak anymore, he took out the tonic that Chu Ci had given him earlier, handed it to Meng Jing's lips, and fed him another sip of water.

Meng Jing finished taking the tonic.

Leaning on the big welcoming pillow and dozed off for a while, then opened his eyes, looked at the blood-stained handkerchief in his hand, and ordered in a low voice, "Don't go to Chu's house, go to Han Zhe's grave."

Han Cang also saw the scarlet veil, he didn't dare to persuade anything more, and directly gave instructions to the outside.

The guard driving the car got the order and immediately drove out of the city.

Han Zhe's body was buried in a Zhuangzi ten miles west of the city. That Zhuangzi had a large fruit mountain, and Han Zhe was buried at the highest point.

By the time Meng Jing climbed up to Guoshan wearing a big cloak, the sky was already pale.

Han Cang held the drink and tribute in one hand, and carefully supported Meng Jing with the other, for fear that his master would be unable to hold on and collapse...

Meng Jing really didn't have much physical strength. After he walked to Han Zhe's grave, he sat down on the big bluestone next to him.

"My lord, do you want to add a cushion?" Han Cang watched his master sit down on the cold bluestone, squatted down beside him, and asked one more question.

Meng Jing shook his head lightly at him, then motioned him to bring the jar of water and wine over...

Han Cang didn't dare to delay, and immediately got up and hugged the huge wine jar.

After Han Cang brought the wine jar over, Meng Jing stretched out his bony right hand to remove the seal from the wine jar, poured a bowl for himself, and poured another bowl for Han Zhe's grave.

In the harsh mountain wind, the cloak hanging behind him was blowing loudly, and the black hair behind him was constantly flying, but he didn't seem to feel the biting cold, he just looked after himself elegantly. He was pouring the wine, talking to Han Zhe's tomb one after another.

that's it.

It wasn't until dawn that he stood up and walked down the mountain holding Han Cang's hand.

In Zhuangzi, Zhuangtou learned that the master came late at night and climbed the mountain again, so he had already prepared a good courtyard, ginger soup and soup bath.

But even so, Meng Jing still developed a high fever uncontrollably that night.

The doctor in Zhuangzi was incompetent, so Han Cang had to go to the city to invite Chu Ci in person.

Zhuangzi in the west of the city is quite far from Chu's house in the east of the city.

When he arrived, it was Chou Shi, the time when people were sleeping most soundly.

Han Cang knocked hard on the door for a long time before Butler Wu opened the door for him in a big coat.

The two looked at each other, and Butler Wu held up the lantern for a while to recognize the cold-faced man in front of him.

"Guard Han?" He called out, and then said quickly, "You came so late, but what happened to the prince?"

Han Cang didn't care about anything else now, he hastily responded, and continued to rush in.

Seeing this, Steward Wu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Since the lord has something to do, the guard Han is waiting here. The inner courtyard is our girl's territory, and I have to invite it in person. What do you look like when you go? You've tired our girl for no reason." Fame!" After finishing speaking, no matter how anxious Han Cang was, he turned around and walked tremblingly towards Xie Ciju.

Xie Ci was in the middle, and the two children next to Chu Ci were fast asleep, but she herself couldn't fall asleep because she was thinking about King Lu Xiaojun and Qi Xin, so she just lay upright like this.

Let the messy people in my mind float back and forth in front of my eyes.

"Girl, girl..."

Suddenly, there was an old cry from outside the window lattice.

Chu Ci didn't feel sleepy at all, and immediately recognized that it was Uncle Wu calling her.

Her heart suddenly tightened, could it be that something happened again?

Thinking of this, she couldn't lie down anymore, she simply put on her clothes and walked outside.

"Uncle Wu, why are you here in the middle of the night?" She opened half the door and asked Uncle Wu who was holding a lantern.

Uncle Wu rolled up his sleeves, "Didn't the girl tell me? As long as someone from the Prince Regent's House comes, no matter how late it is, whether it's midnight or early in the morning, they must report immediately."

When Chu Ci heard Uncle Wu talk about the Regent's Palace, he seemed to think of something, and said, "So, did something happen to the Regent?"

Butler Wu nodded, "The guard Han Cang is here. Judging from his expression, he seems to be very urgent. If it is convenient for the girl, please hurry to ask him about the situation... This life-saving is like putting out a fire, so I dare not delay the regent's order." illness!"

"I see!" Chu Ci nodded, "Go and tell him, I will change clothes and follow him to the Prince Regent's Mansion, don't let him worry, the prince will be blessed with the spirit of a real dragon, and nothing will happen !"

"Yes, yes, the girl should go back quickly!" Butler Wu said, turned around and walked out.

Chu Ci hurriedly closed the door and went back to his room to change clothes.

After she changed her clothes, Qing Miao and Yun Niang, who were guarding the outside room, woke up faintly. They stood up in their clothes, looked at Chu Ci in surprise, and said in unison, "What are you going to do, girl? Did you change your clothes without making a sound?"

Seeing that the two of them had been woken up, Chu Ci had no choice but to tell him about his going out.

Qing Miao had gone out with Chu Ci a few times in the past few days. Seeing this, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The servant girl will go with the girl, and she can also help her and carry the medicine box."

Hearing what she said, Chu Ci shook his head lightly, "No need, I'll let Si'er go with me, you two just stay at home and take good care of the two young masters!"

"Well, that's fine too." Qing Miao replied biting her lips.

Chu Ci didn't stay any longer, she picked up the medicine box, called Si'er in the front yard, and went out with Han Cang.

Because of the urgency of the matter, Han Cang did not finish talking to Chu Ci about the previous night until after he got into the carriage.

After listening to Chu Ci, he saw something was wrong almost immediately. He lowered his voice, raised his eyebrows at Han Cang who was opposite him, and said, "I also understand the prince's temperament. The death of Han Zhe is definitely impossible to force him To such a desperate point... Tell me, is there something else that I'm hiding from me!"

Han Cang: "..." Are all of them human beings?

Is it easy for an honest man to hide something?

Why can everyone see that he hides a secret in his heart!

"Let me tell you, didn't you hear?!" Seeing Han Cang's bitterness and grief, Chu Ci paused for a moment, and finally couldn't bear the anger in his heart, and yelled at him.

After being yelled at by the former mistress, Han Cang no longer dared to hide it, and poured out Qi Xin's death with one mouthful.

After Chu Ci listened, the whole person froze all of a sudden.

Sitting there like a stone monument, every part of her body seemed to be dead...even her eyeballs didn't blink.

After maintaining this movement for a long time, she blinked her dry eyes lightly as if returning to her senses.

"Princess Qixin... how did she die?" Her voice was trembling, sad, and angry. She swept towards Han Cang and asked word by word.

Han Cang lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "Yes... As soon as Jue Ming learned that Huiming was missing, he sent people to Qingya Mountain to arrest Miss Qixin, and wanted to use her to threaten the prince to let Huiming go... But Miss Qixin, But she is a character who would rather die than surrender. She would rather die than be whole. Before those thieves cut off her hand, she left her last words and committed suicide by biting her tongue... Before she died, she said that she didn't want to be anyone's pawn , she just wants to live freely... As for the unfulfilled wish, she hopes that the prince can spend the rest of his life with Miss Chu."

Chu Ci couldn't pretend not to hear the last sentence, but she could only pretend not to hear it.

She sighed, turned her head, gave Han Cang a faint look, and said in a deep voice, "When I begged the prince, he already knew about it, didn't he?"

Han Cang nodded, "Yes, the prince already knew about it at that time."

"So the rescue he talked about at that time was just to rescue the body of Princess Qixin, right?"

Han Cang nodded, "Yes!"

As he finished speaking, Chu Ci's tears could no longer hold back...

Praying, this woman with a tragic fate, she still didn't get a good death in the end.

As for Meng Jing, he has been thinking about Qi Xin for so many years, almost madly wanting to make up for her. After thinking about it for so many years, it is still useless in the end. Once again, he watched her die because of him.

This bit of crazy emotion, coupled with Han Zhe's death, I'm afraid this is what makes him unable to hold on any longer, the boulder pressing on his chest!
Chu Ci's eyes were red and swollen, and tears were streaming down her cheeks!

To be honest, this time even she herself was a little bit uncertain, she was not confident at all, she didn't know if she could pull Meng Jing back from hell.Because the news of Qi Xin's death was so shocking that even she was heartbroken, not to mention Meng Jing, who always felt that she owed Qi Xin a lot, and was almost crazy about her guilt.

She didn't wipe away the tears from her face little by little until she left the city gate in the west of the city.

Another half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of Zhuangzi.

Chu Ci jumped out of the car, and walked towards the courtyard where Meng Jing was with the two people behind him.

When he arrived, Meng Jing was so burned that he was talking nonsense.

Called "Qi Xin"'s name a few times, and called her name a few times.

Looking at him like this, and listening to his breathless voice from between his dry lips and teeth, she felt that the tears that had been wiped away with great difficulty were about to burst out of her eyes again.

She could also see the guilt in his heart...

That day, she knelt down in front of him. Although he rejected her coldly on the surface, she knew that his heart must not be so hard, and he would definitely feel guilty for rejecting her.

Because, if he was really as cold as he showed, he wouldn't hide the news of Qi Xin's death from her.

This man, he is different from the children who grew up in a happy family like King Lu Xiaojun.

King Lu Xiaojun has a lot of love, so he can say it very much, he doesn't hide at all, he doesn't lie, he can even act like a baby, invite pets, compare, duplicity, and apologize.

But Meng Jing was not. He suffered too much when he was a child, and he prayed for his heart when he was a teenager. The love he expressed was always just the tip of the ice on the glacier. As for how much love he had in his heart, She didn't know, Qi Xin didn't know, or, even Meng Jing himself didn't know.

He is really not a smooth-talking person, especially after they reconciled, his feelings for her have been hidden deeper, with twists and turns, and she has to go to the end every time before she discovers how strong his heart is. soft, sensitive...

"Meng Jing!" Thinking of this, she sat down beside his bed, held his hand, and softly called his name, "Don't die, can you wake up? Me and your Qi Xin doesn't even want you to die, Xiao Er and Xin Er are waiting for you, they don't know how to call Daddy, are you going to teach them?"

"Meng Jing, did you hear me, don't die... Don't you like me the most? You can see me when you open your eyes..."

"And Qixin, she doesn't want you to die, she wants you to live well!"

"Pray for heart, pray for heart... Ah Xian!" Meng Jing didn't know what dreamed, and subconsciously murmured the name of pray for heart again, and slowly raised her weak hand.

Seeing this scene, Chu Ci suddenly had a bright light in his mind.It is said that before people die, they will see relatives come to pick them up.

Could it be that Qi Xin has come to pick up Meng Jing?

After guessing like this, she didn't dare to hesitate anymore, grabbed Meng Jing's hand that was about to reach out to Qi Xin, and shouted at him, "Meng Jing, come back to me! Who told you to go with Qi Xin?" Yes! You come back to me, and you are not allowed to go with her! Your life is my resignation! Come back to me quickly!"
