Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 143 Looking at her greedily

Chu Ci guarded Xue Ling for nearly half an hour, and after confirming that the medicine he had prepared did not conflict with her physique, he got up and told Qing Miao, "Go get me a basin of water, I want to wash the blood on my hands! "

"Yes, girl!" Qing Miao took the order and left.

But as soon as she went out on her front foot, her back foot was blocked by Xue Shangshu, who was eager to love her daughter. Xue Shangshu stopped her, bent her body and asked anxiously, "Girl, girl, how is my Linger? I didn't come out during the treatment." What an accident?"

Qing Miao was stopped in the way, with a bit of displeasure on her face, she bit her lower lip, kissed Xue Shangshu, and snorted, "Miss Xue is fine, my lord can go in to see her later...but Now I have to trouble you to make way, my girl is dirty all over, she wants to wash it first, I am in a hurry to fetch water for her!"

Hearing what Qing Miao said, Xue Shangshu also sensed his abruptness. He smiled awkwardly, took half a step back, looked at the copper basin in her hand and said, "Young lady, how can you do such rough work as fetching water? What do you do, I will let the servants of the mansion prepare hot water and ointment, girl, just serve the princess in the room!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether Qing Miao agrees or not, she turns around and tells the maidservant behind her.

The maidservants saw how much Xue Shangshu valued Chu Ci, so they didn't dare to delay, they immediately agreed and walked out.

After Chuci finished cleaning his hands and carefully applied the ointment, on the other side, Xue Ling, who was on the brocade couch behind the screen, also woke up.

"Don't move!" Seeing her waking up, Chu Ci stretched out his hand to touch his face, and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Your face was just cut with a knife, and I just applied medicine to bandage it. Acting rashly may affect your recovery..."

"The concubine, can I talk?" Xue Ling heard Chuci say this, thought for a while, and then asked vaguely.

Chu Ci glanced at her indifferently, and said gently, "It's fine, but it's best not to say too much."

"Well, I see!" Xue Ling nodded.After a while, I couldn't help but asked again, "Concubine Shizi, can I ask again, when will I regain consciousness?"

"About an hour!" Chu Ci said, "But after that, there are still some pains that are within your tolerance."

"Will it hurt?"

Chu Ci smiled at her, "It won't hurt too much, you can get over it if you grit your teeth. Or, I'll leave some painkillers for you, if you really can't make it through, just take one."

"Then I would like to thank Shi Zifei!" Xue Ling sincerely thanked her.

Chu Ci sat down beside her, gently shook her hand, and asked tentatively, "Do you want me to stay here with you?"

Xue Ling's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Is it okay?"

"Before dark, it should be possible!" Chu Ci said, and helped her tuck the blanket around her body.

Xue Lingling felt Chu Ci's gentleness towards her, and when he spoke again, his tone became more dependent, "Then Shizi Concubine can accompany me, I am always a little scared by myself!"

"En." Chu Ci nodded, and then didn't say any more...

This time, it's twilight.

After the pain in Xue Ling's body subsided and she fell asleep, Chu Ci got up and left Xue Shangshu's mansion with Qing Miao.

After Xue Shangshu knew that Xue Ling was fine, he was also very grateful. He specially sent Chu Ci to the gate of Xue's house, and arranged for the guards to go with her car, and made sure to send him back to Chu's house before returning to his life.

Chu Ci didn't have any objection to this, and she let the guards of Xue's mansion want to follow.

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

After Chu Ci returned to Xie Ci Residence, he had just changed his clothes, and before he had time to see the two babies, he received Qing Si's letter from Fei Ge.

Qingsi said that when they arrived, King Nanjun and King Lu Xiaojun were fine, and there was no sign of being attacked...so they didn't show up, and told them what happened in the capital, just be careful in the dark Follow them to ensure that they will not encounter accidents.

After Chu Ci read the secret letter, the stone that was hanging in his heart fell behind in his stomach.Then, after a long delay, he went to the study to write back to Qingsi.

After answering the letter, Aunt Wu just cooked supper in the kitchen.

She simply asked a servant to bring a copy to the study for herself, and after using it briefly, she went back to the dormitory to look at the two little treasures.

Since Xiao Er and Xin Er opened their mouths, they fell in love with Jiao Niang.

As soon as the two of them smelled Chu Ci's scent in the leisure bed, they immediately jumped up, one shouting "Liang" and the other "Mother".

Hearing the crisp, one after another shouts, Chu Ci felt relieved, but suddenly felt a little sad. He didn't know when King Lu Xiaojun would have the opportunity to teach the two little babies to call him father...

"Did the girl turn to uncle again?" Qing Miao could clearly see the change of expression on Chu Ci's face, she sighed silently, and asked tentatively.

Chu Ci nodded lightly, "Well, I miss him a little bit, and I don't know where he is now, whether it's cold on the road, whether he's hungry, whether he's sick..."

"Don't worry about this girl!" Qing Miao comforted her, "When my uncle left, you prepared so many things for him. With those things protecting him, he will not be surprised at all!"

"Really?" Chu Ci smiled embarrassedly.

Qing Miao nodded repeatedly.

While the two were talking, there was another rush of footsteps outside, and then Aunt Wu came in from the outside, Fushen said, "Girl, the guards who were sent to Tongzhou before came back, they asked me to come in and ask you, Mrs. Jiang, are you meeting today, or tomorrow?"

"The third aunt was brought back?" Chuci asked in surprise when she heard Aunt Wu mention the word 'Jiang', sat up straight all of a sudden.

Aunt Wu hurriedly bowed and replied, "Yes, I brought it back, and I'll just wait outside!"

"I see!" Chu Ci nodded. She let go of the two children, rolled over and got off the bed, and said to Aunt Wu, "I'll go there now. Tell that group of people to go to the study and wait for me!"

"Yes, girl!" Aunt Wu agreed, then bowed and retreated.

After she left, Chu Ci bent down again, kissed Xiao'er and Xin'er, told Yunniang to take good care of the two children, and then ordered Qing Miao to wait for her to change clothes.

About a quarter of an hour later, she appeared in the study with a dignified expression.

At this time, the third wife, Mrs. Jiang, had already slowed down from the exhaustion of the boat. When she saw her, before she could say a word, the circles of her eyes turned red.

"Third Aunt!" Chu Ci looked at her, and called out to her with complicated eyes.

After hearing Chu Ci's address, Jiang could no longer hold back the tears from her eyes, knelt down in front of her with a plop, grabbed her clothes, and shouted heartbreakingly, "A Ci, I am the one who is sorry for you!" , I... I didn't teach Ah Ying well! I'm sorry for you! Ah Ci—"

"Third Aunt, you, you get up first!" Chu Ci couldn't bear such a crying scene the most, she looked at Jiang's hand tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, and said with a frown, "We have something to talk about, You are like... what is it, those who don’t know think I have done something to you.”

"Yeah, you should get up first!" Aunt Wu saw Chu Ci's uneasy expression, so she also went to pull Jiang Shi.She is different from Chu Ci, she has endured hardship since she was a child, and she has a lot of strength in her hands, but with a slight tug, she pulled Jiang away and left her aside.

"Girl, sit down!" Pulling Jiang away, Aunt Wu supported Chu Ci and sat down on the armchair beside her. The armchair was covered with thick velvet cushions. Sitting on it, Chu Ci felt warm. , very comfortable.Feeling this warmth, she couldn't help raising her head, and nodded to Aunt Wu in satisfaction.

Aunt Wu noticed Chu Ci's praise for her, so she was naturally happy again.

"Aci—"

Besides, Mrs. Jiang, when she saw Chu Ci sitting down, she originally wanted to crawl towards her with a loud voice.

It's just that before this goal was achieved, Aunt Wu stopped her. Because of Lu Ying, a wolf cub, Aunt Wu was also very angry with Jiang Shi. After knocking her to the ground again, Aunt Wu looked at her condescendingly She reprimanded, "Speak well if you have something to say, cry and howl! You're even dragging around, you really think you're a shrew in the market!"

Jiang Shi was frightened by Aunt Wu, she knelt up straight without saying a word, carefully looked at Chu Ci again, and said, "A Ci, I... I know I was wrong..."

"Third Aunt, let's talk about Tongzhou!" Because Chu Ci hated Lu Ying, and now he didn't want to talk about the old relationship with Jiang Shi, he directly pointed the topic at her.

From Chu Ci's attitude, Jiang also saw that she had no intention of reminiscing about the past, so she had to lower her head and explain her life in Tongzhou for half a year.

Among them, it is not much different from what Lu Ying explained before.

The only difference is that Jiang knows more things and sees them more thoroughly.

She has long seen that the playboy's love for her is not that simple, and under the persecution of that unstoppable force, there are clearly deeper schemes hidden.

Especially, when that person's wives came into contact with Lu Ying... She realized almost immediately that the real target of those people was never her, but Ah Ying, and they wanted to use Ah Ying to do something.

After guessing this, she originally wanted to take Ah Ying away, but it was too late.

Those people had already cast a net, so how could the fish in the net escape.

So, after they took her and Ah Ying back, they revealed their true colors.

They tortured her, humiliated her, and bullied her in front of Ah Ying over and over again, just to plant hatred in Ah Ying's heart and make her a knife in their hands.

Go to Beijing to help them assassinate Chu Ci...

Hearing what Jiang said, Chu Ci also understood in her heart. She glanced at her coldly and asked, "So, the wife of the evil young man is from the Ren family?"

Jiang wiped away the tears from her face, and nodded in despair, "Yes, they are from the Ren family."

"I see!" Chu Ci hummed softly.

Mrs. Jiang couldn't figure out her calm plan, so her heart came to her throat, she knelt up straight, looked at her cautiously and asked, "Then...then Aying and I...I don't know what the concubine Shizi wants to do ?”

Chu Ci saw Jiang's panic and fear in his eyes.She slowly raised her head, looked at her, and smiled softly, "What do you think... how will I deal with you mother and daughter?"

Jiang looked at her, her lips trembling for a long time, but she didn't say a word.

In the end, Chu Ci couldn't stand it anymore, and told Aunt Wu, "Aunt Wu, go and bring Lu Ying out!"

Aunt Wu was startled when she heard the words, "Young lady means..."

Chu Ci chuckled, "It's my ex-relatives after all, so I won't send them to officials, or use lynching, give them some money, let them leave the capital!"

"Yes, I'll bring Lu Ying here!" Aunt Wu said, then turned and walked outside.

As for Jiang Shi, who was kneeling in the middle of the study room, after Aunt Wu left, she finally raised her head as if regained consciousness, looked at Chu Ci, and murmured, "Is the imperial concubine really willing to forgive our mother and daughter?"

Chu Ci met her eyes, and after a long time, he sneered, "Who said I would forgive you?"

"Then you let us go?" Jiang asked with a puzzled expression.

Chu Ci took a deep look at her, and said, "You may have misunderstood, letting go and forgiving are two different things..."

Jiang's eyes widened, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh.

Not long after, Lu Ying was brought in from the outside.

These days, she didn't eat well, didn't sleep well, and she lost a lot of weight.It is not too much to say that it is skinny.

"Aying..." Jiang looked at the little girl in front of her, stared blankly for a long time, and then tried to call out.

And Lu Ying, after hearing her mother's familiar voice, immediately threw herself into Jiang's arms, hugged her tightly and said, "Mother, mother! Has sister-in-law finally brought you back? Can we meet again in the future?" Also not separated?!"

Mrs. Jiang embraced the thin daughter in her arms, rubbed her back non-stop, tears streaming down her cheeks, and nodded vigorously in the hollow of her shoulder, "Yes, your sister-in-law brought mother back, mother I will never leave you again in the future, and I will never be separated from you again in this lifetime..."

The mother and daughter have been crying for a long time.

It wasn't until Chu Ci was a little sleepy that the two separated.

After Jiang Shi saw Lu Ying, her face became more lively. After she calmed down, she knelt up straight, kowtowed three times to Chu Ci, turned her head to look at Lu Ying beside her, and told her: , "Kowtow to your sister-in-law!"

Lu Ying looked at her own mother, then at Chu Ci, hesitated for a while, and then kowtowed three times to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci didn't have any comments on the two's approach.He just waved his hands and said to Aunt Wu, "Aunt Wu, send them out!"

Aunt Wu answered yes, turned around and walked towards Mrs. Jiang and Lu Ying and said, "The night is getting dark, our girl is going to rest, please go!"

Lu Ying didn't know that Chu Ci was going to drive them away. Seeing this, she frowned, "Auntie, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?!" Aunt Wu snorted softly, "Of course I sent you out. Could it be that your mother and daughter have harmed our girl, and you still want to stay in Chu's house and eat our girl for the rest of your life?"

Lu Ying blushed when she heard Aunt Wu's unscrupulous words, opened her mouth, and didn't say a word for a long time.

If it was in the past, Chu Ci must have felt very distressed looking at her small appearance, but after being assassinated last time, she no longer has that soft heart towards her.

He didn't want to stay and look at her again, so he got up and walked out.

"sister in law!"

After she walked out of the study, there was another heart-piercing cry from Lu Ying.

But she didn't stop.

To live in this world is to keep saying goodbye.

The relationship between her and Jiang's mother and daughter has been exhausted.

There will never be half a relationship in this life.

Thinking of this, she walked faster.

After returning to the room, he simply washed up and rested.

A night without dreams.

When she woke up the next morning and had breakfast, she remembered something and asked, "Has the mother and daughter left?"

While helping her prepare vegetables, Qing Miao said, "They're all gone. Aunt Wu gave them 200 taels of silver, as well as the household registration of Liangmin, and arranged a carriage for them."

Hearing what Qing Miao said, Chu Ci smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

After the meal, the carriage from Xue's residence also arrived, and she was specially invited to change Xue Ling's medicine.

Since Chu Ci had already received this consultation, she naturally treated the patients with [-]% care. She didn't make any excuses, and asked someone to carry the medicine box, and then went to Xue's residence...

Fengling House.

After a whole day of healing, Xue Ling's wound had formed a thin layer of blood scab, which looked a little scary.

However, Chu Ci has been a doctor for so many years, and finally she did not lose her composure. She quickly applied medicine and bandages to Xue Ling.

Originally, before wrapping up the bandages, Xue Ling wanted to look in the mirror to see what she looked like now, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was stopped by her, "If you don't want to have nightmares in the middle of the night, you still don't look at it." it is good!"

What Xue Ling was most afraid of was having nightmares, and immediately gave up the thought of looking in the mirror, and started talking to Chu Ci about other topics.

Knowing the uneasiness and worry in her heart, Chu Ci coaxed her heartily for a while, and finally put her at ease before leaving with the medicine box...

After leaving the Xue residence, she did not return to the Chu residence, but ordered the guards who were driving to go to Zhuangzi outside the city.

It's been a few days since Meng Jing was pulled back from the line of life and death, and she hasn't looked at him again, so she always feels a little worried.It just so happens that I have some time today, so I might as well go and see him.

Zhuangzi outside the west of the city is quite far away. Chu Ci set off from Xue's mansion at the end of the day and didn't arrive until noon.

Zhuangtou on the Zhuangzi also knew Chu Ci, seeing her getting off the car, he rushed up to greet her, called "Shi Zifei" respectfully, and asked, "Is Shi Zifei here to see our prince?"

The corners of Chu Ci's mouth moved slightly, and he smiled unrecognizably, but he didn't say if it was true or not, he just asked lightly, "How is the prince recently? How does he look, have you fainted yet?"

Zhuangtou's eyes rolled, and his heart went back and forth many times. After thinking about it, he still didn't tell the truth, but said, "This... the small one is just a Zhuangtou in the farm, and even the decent slaves in the palace Not even counting, there is a chance to get close to the prince... If the concubine Shizi really cares about the prince, why not go and see the prince in person, I will show you the way..." Saying that, she led her to Meng Jing's courtyard That road turns.

Chu Ci: "..."

What else can she say!I can only follow him!
At the same time, Meng Jing also heard the news that Chu Ci came to visit him at the farm. Under the excitement, even his face turned rosy, and he never refused the medicine Yuan Han handed over. .

Yuan Han watched Meng Jing swallow a handful of pills as if he was swallowing rice, and smiled kindly while smoothing his snow-white beard, and teased him, "My lord is really refreshed on happy occasions!"

Hearing what he said, the smile on Meng Jing's face suddenly froze, she snorted softly, and said, "What kind of happy event is this! It's just the most basic way of hospitality!"

Yuan Han chuckled, "My lord said it's the way of hospitality, so that's the way of hospitality. I'll avoid it for now!" After speaking, he turned and walked out.

Seeing his back disappear, Meng Jing felt a little more uncomfortable sweetness in her heart.

He knew that the short-lived joy he was experiencing was stolen from the absence of King Lu Xiaojun... But, his heart couldn't help throbbing, trembling, and cheering.

He wanted to see her, he was going crazy!
He wants to see her concern for him, her care for him, even if this relationship and care is to quench thirst with poison.

But he is happy.

"The courtier has met the prince, please greet the prince!"

Looking forward, waiting, she finally came, stood by his side, and spoke to him.

"Exemption!" He suppressed the excitement in his heart, slightly raised the corner of his eyes, looked at her and asked lightly, "Why is the concubine Shizi here today?"

Chu Ci made an excuse at will, "Didn't you agree to take care of the prince every three days? It just so happens that I have some time today, so I'm here!"

"Then do you want to take the pulse now?" Meng Jing asked in a questioning tone, but at the same time she stretched out her wrist.

Chu Ci nodded, and after sitting down beside his bed, he gently squeezed his wrist to help him feel his pulse.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After half a cup of tea, Chu Ci let go of him, smiled politely at him, and said, "My lord has recovered very well these few days."

"Really?" Meng Jing raised her eyebrows, paused, and said again, "Actually, I don't do anything every day, I just eat the medicine bowl you prepared for me on time, five times a day, twenty times a time. Come."

"This is very good!" Chu Ci leaned over slightly, helped him tuck the quilt under his body, and said, "My lord, continue to persevere, maybe there will be miraculous results in the future... By the way, where is my master?" She seemed like As if thinking of something, he suddenly asked Yuan Han.

Hearing this, Meng Jing's eyes flickered slightly, "Mr. Yuan...he may have gone up the mountain to gather medicine!"

"Collecting medicine?" Chu Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is Master going to make new medicine for the prince again?"

Meng Jing nodded, and said casually, "Maybe, these kings don't quite understand either."

Chu Ci said nothing more.

Meng Jing was almost greedy, and looked at her cautiously. After a long time, she tentatively added, "The concubine Shizi came here after a long time. When Mr. Yuan comes back, you can see him before leaving!"

Chu Ci did not refuse this proposal, she did have something to say to her master, Yuan Han...
