Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 142 Are you here to pick me up?

In the thick fog, Meng Jing was like a lost traveler, no matter how hard he tried to walk, he couldn't get out of the predicament in front of him.I don't know how long it has passed, and finally his eyes went dark, and he collapsed from exhaustion.

"Brother Xingzhi, brother Xingzhi..."

Time passed bit by bit, and that sweet and familiar voice suddenly entered Meng Jing's dream.

Before he knew it, he opened his eyes again.Squinting his eyes, he saw a circle of light not far away, and in the circle of light was the girl he loved when he was young and whom he still owes——Qi Xin.

"A-Xian! A-Xian!" He whispered her name softly, got up from the ground with difficulty, and staggered towards her step by step.

"Brother Xingzhi..." When the woman saw him walking towards her, the smile on her lips became even more charming, even more beautiful than Nanzhao's national flower, the Golden Spike.

"Ah Yuan!" Meng Jing called this name, and finally approached her.He stopped when he was two steps away from her, and looked at her obsessively, "Ah-Xian, are you here to pick me up?"

Dressed in white, Qi Xin nodded towards him with a smile like a spring breeze, followed by looking down, and then looked at his right hand covered in the wide sleeve, opened his lips, and said in a faint voice, "Brother Xingzhi, give me your hand." , may I take you away? Let me take you to a place where there is no joys and sorrows, no wars, no intrigues, okay?"

"..." Hearing what she said, Meng Jing was about to say "OK" before passing her hand over.

But who knows, just as his hand was raised 45 degrees, another familiar and piercing sound suddenly came from this empty space.

It was a woman, and she was calling his name loudly, she said—"Meng Jing, your life is mine, you can't die without my permission! You can't die! Come back! Come back! !"

Hearing this voice, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, and before he had time to react, he subconsciously withdrew his hand.

"Brother Xingzhi!" Qi Xin in white became anxious all of a sudden, and the smiling face she looked at Meng Jing turned into a crying face, and she asked in a weeping voice, "Brother Xingzhi, are you going to abandon me again and leave alone? ? Didn't we agree to be together forever, you only like me, and I only like you, but why, you have changed now? Brother Xingzhi, don't go back with that woman, come with me, okay? "

"Ah-Xian..." Meng Jing's expression began to become painful after listening to Qi Xin's words. He called her name hoarsely, and shook his head gently at her, "I'm sorry!"

At the same time as he finished speaking, Chu Ci's voice tore through the space again, and came in coldly—"Meng Jing, if you dare to follow Qi Xin, I will never forgive you in the next life! Meng Jing , come back to me quickly!"

Hearing the voice embedded in his soul, Meng Jing turned around without hesitation, and walked resolutely towards the darkness on the other side...

He didn't know how long he had been gone.

Anyway, every time he wanted to stop, Chu Ci's voice would suddenly sound. That cold but anxious voice was like his guiding light, bringing him closer and closer to the exit of the dream.

Until, he fell into a deep pit and his consciousness completely disappeared.

When he woke up again, he opened his eyes and saw Chu Ci sitting beside the bed. Her description was messy, her face was pale, and her jet-black hair was only loosely tied with a headband.It looked messy and embarrassed, but it was his favorite look.

"A Ci..." He resisted the dryness and burning pain in his throat, and called out to him in a low voice.

Hearing his call, Chu Ci's eyes turned red again, he lowered his head slightly, and after a while, he whispered, "It's good that the prince wakes up, you have been in a coma for three days and three nights."

"Three days and three nights?" Meng Jing's complexion changed, and she paused, looking at her red eye circles again, and asked, "Then these three days, but you have been talking to this king, telling me not to talk to A-Xian Go, do you have to come back?"

"No, it's not me." Chu Ci shook his head and denied without hesitation, "I didn't tell you anything, I just took your pulse for you, and then prepared the pill outside."

"No, it's you!" Meng Jing looked at her firmly, and said without doubt, "I heard everything in my dream, every word, every word you said, I know... ...In your heart, there is also this king..."

"Drink the medicine!" Chu Ci pretended not to hear Meng Jing's words, did not see his eyes, pushed the medicine forward, and said coldly, "Drink it quickly, if you don't drink it, I'll feed it to the dog!"

"Since Ah Ci asked me to drink it, I'll just drink it!" Meng Jing raised her head and looked at Chu Ci for a while, then opened her mouth to swallow the spoon she handed over to her.

Because of Meng Jing's cooperation, this bowl of medicine was fed very smoothly. After feeding the medicine, Chu Ci counted out seven or eight kinds of tonics from the medicine box on the side. Twenty pills of tonics came and handed him, "Take I have eaten these too, your body is too weak, if you don’t take good care of it, Qi Xin may often come to pick you up in the future!”

Through Chu Ci's sarcastic remarks, Meng Jing saw through her concern for herself.The corners of his eyes raised slightly, and he looked at her expressionless face and said, "I've made a note of it!" After saying that, he took the pills she gave and swallowed them all.

Chu Ci saw that he was still obedient, and his face turned pale.

After pondering for a while, he raised his head, looked at his face, and said again, "My master has also rushed over, since the prince is already awake, then leave your body to my master to take care of from now on!"

Hearing what she said, Meng Jing looked anxious and subconsciously wanted to refute.

But before he could speak, Chu Ci raised his hand, interrupted him, and said, "I know what the lord wants to say, but don't forget, I am the eldest concubine of the Nanjun Palace. The family is responsible, and please respect me, my lord."

Hearing this, Meng Jing stared in deep silence for a long time.

In the end, he was still persuaded by her, and he suppressed all the affection in his heart, then nodded slightly at her, "Then I won't see you off, be careful on the way back to the city."

"Well, thank you for reminding me, my lord, I can save all of this!" Chu Ci got up, gave him a slight blessing, and then walked out with the medicine box...

Outside, Yuan Han was sitting in the living room having tea.

Seeing Chu Ci come out with the medicine box on his back, he hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Your Highness is awake?"

Chu Ci nodded, paused for a moment, and said again, "He's already awake. I'll give him all the medicine for today, and I'll trouble Master from now on... I also ask Master to take good care of him, my lord... It's not easy either."

"Well, Master knows all these things!" Yuan Han took a deep look at Chu Ci, and assured her, "Don't worry, Master will definitely protect your lifesaver!"

"Then Ah Ci will thank Master a lot!" Chu Ci said, then bent down and bowed to Yuan Han.

Seeing this, Yuan Han hurriedly stood up, took two quick steps forward, helped her up, and said angrily, "You can be polite to others, I am your master, do you still want to be polite to me?"

"It's not surprising that people are so polite!" Chu Ci smiled slightly, making an excuse for himself.

Afterwards, the master and the apprentice said something else, and then Chu Ci left with Qing Miao, and Sier left it to Yuan Han to help him, and learn some poisonous techniques to nourish the body from him.

Back at Chu Residence, the first thing Chu Ci did was to take a good bath.

After taking a bath, she felt refreshed, so she went back to the dormitory to see the two babies.

In the bed, Yunniang was teaching the two children to call their mother, but the two little babies didn't say a word, they just rolled their eyes and looked at her with a smile, as if they were watching some fun.

Chu Ci watched, and the corners of his lips could not help but smile.

She walked towards the two little babies, lifted Xiao Er up, hugged him in her arms, and teased him, "Little baby, call mother...you can kiss you as soon as you call mother..."

Xiaoer seemed not to understand her condition, but also seemed to be disdainful. After a while, he twisted up like a ball, then stretched his neck, and kissed her on the face with a smack, and smeared her face by the way drool.

Chu Ci kissed the little baby behind his back, he was dumbfounded!

She stared at him with wide eyes, and asked with a smile, "Are you doing the right thing with mother? So that mother can know that I can't threaten you at all. Even if mother doesn't take the initiative to kiss you, you will take the initiative to kiss mother?"

Xiao Er heard her say such a long sentence, and the smile on Bai Nen's little face deepened.

Then he stretched his neck again, and kissed her other face with a snap.

Chu Ci was kissed twice by the little baby in his arms, and couldn't bear it any longer. He lowered his head and kissed his tender forehead twice, coaxing softly, "Xiaoer is so good. The maid will give you an extra meal..."

On this side, the mother and child are interacting affectionately, on the other side, Xin'er in the couch also became anxious, kept flailing her little arms and legs, and turned over several times...

Yunniang watched, her brows frowned, and she suddenly thought of it. She stood up, hugged Xin'er out, looked into his big black eyes, and coaxed, "Young master Xin'er, you have to learn how to scream!" Mother—mother—only a girl will hug you and call you!"

Being coaxed by Yunniang, Xin'er's eyes rolled even faster.

Chu Ci looked at it with a calm expression on his face.

To be honest, she really wanted to know which little baby would learn to call first.

"Mother—mother—Master Xin'er, hurry up, call, and the girl will hug you!" Yunniang patiently guided the little milk baby in her arms.

Ke Xin'er only rolled his eyes, but didn't speak.

On the contrary, it was Xiaoer in Chu Ci's arms who suddenly grabbed her earrings when Chu Ci was completely unprepared, and yelled "cool" loudly!
Hearing this pronunciation, Chu Ci lowered his head subconsciously, with a look of surprise on his face, and looked at Xiao Er in his arms with expressiveness, "Xiao Er, what was your name just now, call it again!"

"Cool!" Xiaoer called again happily.

Now that Chu Ci heard clearly, tears began to roll in her eyes. She lowered her head, kissed his two little cheeks twice, and praised, "Mother, Xiao Er is so good!"

"mother!"

"mother!"

"mother!"

Chu Ci had just finished praising Xiao Er's baby, when three standard pronunciations of "Mother" sounded in his ears.

After she heard it, she immediately looked at Xin'er in Yunniang's arms with a tacit understanding.

At this moment, I saw my little baby was looking at her anxiously with big watery eyes!A look of begging mother to hug, beg mother to rub, beg mother to love her.

Looking at it, Chu Ci felt that his heart was about to melt. He coaxed Xiao Er back into the bed, took Xin Er over, hugged him tenderly and kissed him, At the end of the quarrel, both mother and son had drool on their faces.

However, the atmosphere in the room was unprecedentedly warm and harmonious.

Such days, Chu Ci passed several days in a row.

On the third day, someone came to the Chu residence again.

It was a regular customer before, Xue Shangshu.

Just as Chu Ci guessed, for the sake of his daughter's future happiness, he tried his best to persuade her.

"If it's convenient for the concubine, I can start treating my daughter's injuries today!" In the front hall, Xue Shangshu said solemnly after reporting the situation at home.

After saying that, he took out a brocade box from his sleeve, pushed it to her and said, "In addition, this is the prepaid consultation fee for the princess, a total of 10 taels! Of course, if the follow-up treatment is not enough, the next official will definitely It was made up in advance! If it is enough, then the current official will pay the Shizi Concubine's hard work!"

"It's not necessary!" Chu Ci knew Xue Shangshu's twisted thoughts, and also knew that his current practice was no different from the family members of patients who gave red envelopes to the chief surgeon in modern times, but he was afraid that she would not use it when she used the knife. try best.

But she knew in her heart that she was not that kind of person!

She is a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded first, and then a businessman.Her consultation fee may be set high, but she will never play petty tricks or blackmail with the patient's family during the treatment process.

However, she did not explain this to Xue Shangshu, because even if she explained, Xue Shangshu might not believe it.

How can a person who can pass the imperial examination and become a first-class official book be a person who believes in whatever others say!

So in this case, it is useless to explain, it is better not to explain. "If that's the case, then I'll keep it for the concubine first." Seeing that Chu Ci refused, Xue Shangshu had no choice but to take the brocade box back.

Afterwards, the two agreed that at noon the next day, Chu Ci would come to the door and personally treat Xue Ling's face.

A day goes by.

Soon the next day came, because Chu Ci was going to perform surgery on someone, she got up early in the morning, and Sier was away, so she could only complete the face surgery by herself.

Adhering to a serious and responsible attitude towards patients, she checked the tools and medicines that might be used later, over and over again, until she was sure that there were no problems before putting them into the medicine box one by one.

At the beginning of noon, she took Qing Miao out of the Chu residence and headed for Xue Shangshu's mansion.

When we arrived at Xue Shangshu's mansion, it happened to be noon, and it was also the time of day when the light was strongest and brightest.

"Please, Concubine!" Perhaps because today is a very important day, Xue Shangshu specially changed into a brand new robe. When she didn't come, he stood upright outside the mansion and waited for her. When she came , he immediately bowed and led her in.

The general layout of Fengling Residence is still the same as before, but the details are much cleaner. No matter where it is, there is no trace of dust accumulation, which can be called bright and clean.

"Ling'er has seen the concubine Shizi!" When she arrived, Xue Ling was standing by the bed looking at a pot of orchids. When she heard her footsteps, she immediately turned her head and walked slowly in front of her, feeling a little heavy. I saluted.

Chu Ci got close to her, so he could see the panic on her face.Sighing faintly in her heart, she suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed her wrist, and said, "Miss Xue, let me remind you, if you regret it now, there is still time!"

Xue Ling was startled when he heard the words, and after a while, tears flowed down, and he said sadly, "But my father... my father made the decision for me, he hoped that I could heal my face..."

"What about you!" Chu Ci interrupted her with a frown, "What do you think? You would rather endure the pain on the tip of a knife and be reborn, grow colorful wings again, and fly freely in the blue sky , or will you be stuck in the mud forever, guarding the three-inch sky of Fenglingju, complaining day after day, and having nightmares?"

Xue Ling was taken aback by the two life questions in Chu Ci's description.

After a long time, I finally realized it and said, "Of course I want to have colorful wings, to be free and happy for the rest of my life...but, but I'm really afraid of pain!"

"What if I try my best to relieve the pain for you, and control the range of pain within the range you can bear?" Chu Ci pondered for a moment, then asked again.

This time, Xue Ling finally did not hesitate anymore, she nodded to Chu Ci, and said, "Concubine Shizi, if this is the case, then I am willing to treat it!"

"In that case, let's start!" Chu Ci had been preparing for this operation for so long, and he didn't want to waste any more time.She glanced at her, and ordered lightly, "Go and sit on the brocade couch behind the screen over there."

Xue Ling didn't move for a long time, she looked at Chu Ci with a bit of worry and fear, "Concubine Shizi, now... are we going to start now?"

"Why, you don't want to?" Chu Ci frowned and asked,

Xue Ling took a deep breath, clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and said, "No... I'm going to lie down right now!" As she spoke, she beckoned to the maid in the room, and with the help of the maid, she limped He walked towards the brocade couch behind the screen.

Chu Ci watched her back disappear behind the screen before moving on to the next step. She turned around and opened the medicine box on the table, took out a bottle of Mabosan prepared in advance, and handed it to Qing Miao, "Take Send this bottle of medicine to Miss Xue, let her drink it all, and when I do it, she won't feel any pain!"

"Yes, girl!" Qing Miao took the porcelain vase, turned around and walked towards Xue Ling behind the screen.

At this time, Xue Ling was already lying on the brocade couch, but because of fear, her whole body was trembling, Qing Miao could hear her teeth clashing and chattering from far away.

"Miss Xue, this is the medicine our girl specially prepared for you. After drinking it, you won't feel any pain later!" She opened the porcelain bottle and handed it to Xue Ling.

Xue Ling stretched out her hand tremblingly, and took a while to take the porcelain bottle in her hand.

But after only taking a sip, she frowned, "What kind of medicine is this? It's so bitter!"

"Painkiller!" Chu Ci's cold voice came in through the screen, "This medicine is also called Mafeisan, and I don't have much in hand. If it weren't for your young age and the injury on your face, you would think I'll give it to you? Drink it quickly, or you won't be able to bear the pain later, don't blame me!"

Hearing how serious Chu Ci said, Xue Ling quickly raised the porcelain bottle and drank it all in one gulp.

After finishing drinking, she was about to ask Chu Ci again, so that it won't hurt later!
But before she could speak, she fell backwards without any warning.

"Miss!" Xue Ling's personal maid exclaimed, and quickly supported Xue Ling.

Qing Miao stared at Xue Ling who was unconscious in front of her, and was also taken aback for a while, then turned her head, turned to the other side of the screen, and whispered, "Girl, Miss Xue has passed out!"

"I know!" Chu Ci's cold voice came through the screen again, and after a while, she also walked over quietly.

"Get out!" After walking to the brocade couch, she told the maid next to Xue Ling expressionlessly.

The servant girl was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, "Concubine Shizi, is the servant girl going out too?"

"Otherwise, why don't you stay here and cause trouble?" Chu Ci frowned, "Or, can you guarantee that you won't get dizzy when you see blood, and won't scream when you see the wound?"

The maid was at a loss for words for a while, although she was a servant, but she was also a big maid who was pampered and pampered for many years, she was usually afraid to see the cook killing chickens in the big kitchen, let alone watching others use knives on their girls' faces. up...

That's all, she'd better go out!
Thinking this way, the servant girl lowered herself to Chu Cifu, and walked out step by step.

Chu Ci watched the maid leave, and then ordered Qing Miao to start preparing various tasks for her: preparing strong wine, hot water, disinfecting gloves and scalpels, and disinfecting Xue Ling's face...

After completing all the preparations, she picked up the scalpel, cut open the skin on Xue Ling's face, and cut off all the newly grown polyps where she was bitten by the Gu insect.

Because those polyps and the original flesh have grown together, every time a little bit is cut off, a lot of blood will flow out.

Chu Ci needed an assistant to cooperate with her and help her wipe the blood beside the incision.

Fortunately, Qing Miao is not dizzy, bold and careful, even the first time he did it with ease.

With her like this, Chu Ci also relaxed a lot.

The cooperation between the two was flawless, and within half an hour, the polyps on Xue Ling's face and the granulation under the eyelids were almost treated...

After wiping off all the blood, Chu Ci began to apply the medicine for her. After applying the medicine, he carefully covered her face with gauze, leaving only two nostrils to breathe.

After the entire operation, she was drenched in sweat and could barely stand.

But even so, she still responsibly counted the surgical equipment again, making sure that there was nothing missing, and then asked Qing Miao to put away the things, while she sat beside Xue Ling, watching her closely.
