Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 144 I'm already married
Yuan Han figured that the time was almost up, so he brought Si'er back. When they came back, Chu Ci was giving Meng Jing medicine for the second time.

"Sier, Master." Chu Ci heard the footsteps, looked back, and raised his lips to call out.

Yuan Han glanced at Meng Jing who was on the bed, smiled, and didn't make a sound.

Si'er looked at the medicine bowl in Chu Ci's hand, but frowned. He turned sideways, put down the basket in his hand, walked towards Chu Ci, and said in a low voice, "Sister, I'm back. It's still a matter of serving the prince to take medicine." I'll do it!"

Chu Ci heard the words, looked up at him, and silently handed over the medicine bowl, "I just happen to have something to say to Master, so I'll leave it to you, my lord!"

"Sister, don't worry, I will take good care of the prince for you." Si'er said, then took the medicine bowl and sat down beside Meng Jing.

As for Meng Jing, he looked up at Chu Ci, and then at Si'er beside him. For the sake of Chu Ci's reputation, he didn't say much in the end, but after Chu Ci and Yuan Han turned and left, they remained expressionless. He snatched the medicine bowl from Si'er, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Si'er watched Meng Jing finish his drink effortlessly, a sarcasm flashed in the depths of his eyes, and after a long time, he looked at the back of his head and let out a soft snort.

Meng Jing turned her back to him and heard his cold snort, but she didn't say anything, not even an expression.

After all, in his heart, Si'er is a weak person, a coward, a person who can't even be called an opponent!

He doesn't even have the courage to confess to the woman he likes, so what right does he have to let him look at him more!

In the dormitory, the dark tide surged slightly.

Outside, the atmosphere between Chu Ci and Yuan Han was not good either.

"Did Master forget that I'm already married and I'm a married man?!" The two stood opposite each other under the wall of flowers, Chu Ci stared at Yuan Han and asked with a frown.

Yuan Han is also a good person, so naturally he can't understand what Chu Ci is accusing him of, but he didn't take her accusation to heart, instead he laughed and said, "How could it be, my teacher knows that you are married. Damn, your husband is Lu Xiaojun King..."

"Then why did the master hide away when I came? He also took Si'er away, and left the prince alone in the room? Dare you say, it's not for the convenience of the prince!" The last three words, She has a very heavy accent on her words, and she looks like she is gnashing her teeth.

Yuan Han was questioned like this by his apprentice, but his face was still calm and breezy. He rubbed his hands and said, "Hey, don't worry about whether it's convenient or not, you just look at the prince's current situation." Is your body much better than before?"

"...So, the prince's recovery has something to do with me?" Chu Ci asked coldly, suppressing his displeasure.

Yuan Han nodded, "It's not related to you! I made a promise in front of the prince, saying that if he recovers, I will help him get you back!"

"..." Chuci heard Yuan Han say this, and felt that smoke was coming from her head. She no longer cared about respecting her teacher, and pointed at the angry little old man in front of her as soon as she raised her hand , bitterly said, "You, you old naughty boy, how can you say anything! Are you worthy of Lu Yifeng like this?! Are you worthy of me!"

"Hey, Ah Ci, don't be in a hurry! I haven't finished my sentence yet!" Seeing that Chu Ci was really angry, Yuan Han took two steps forward in a hurry, tugging on his sleeve and explaining, "Listen I said, what I did was actually a stopgap measure...Cheat him before he gets better, and tell him after he gets better that you love Lu Yifeng more than gold, I just can't do it!"

"Do you think I will believe you?!" Chu Ci withdrew his arm forcefully, looking at him with full suspicion, "I tell you, Master, I don't believe you, every word you said to me now , I don’t even believe it! I’ll go and explain clearly to Meng Jing now, so that he won’t listen to your bewitching, and don’t engage in such delusions!” After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.

Yuan Han managed to adjust Meng Jing to the present state. How could he let Chu Ci go? He quickly took two steps forward and grabbed her again. Behind her, he said kindly, "Tuer, Ah Ci!" , don't worry... the lord, he was encouraged by me, and finally healed up. If you run in front of him now, no matter what the reason is, he will expose everything in one go, and you will let him lose face. Where to put it, how do you let his self-esteem rest, you want to make him vomit blood alive?"

Hearing the last sentence, Chu Ci tensed up.Although he didn't say anything, his footsteps finally slowed down.

"If I tell the truth to the prince, will he really vomit blood?" After a long time, she lowered her head and asked in a hoarse voice.

Behind her, Yuan Han nodded desperately, "Yeah, that's for sure, not only will he vomit blood, but he might even be pissed off by you!... Haven't you heard about the former General Zhou?" Didn’t he just get pissed off three times by the military adviser of the Shu Kingdom, and he was so angry to death! So disciple, for the sake of the lord’s life, you should not confront him, just follow what I said, give him some sweetness first I hope, when he is almost recovering, tell him the truth, then he will be able to bear it, and you won't take your life for no reason, will you?"

"You...let me think about it again." A look of embarrassment appeared on Chu Ci's face, and after a long time, he said in a low voice.

Hearing what she said, a sly look flashed across Yuan Han's face, he sucked his teeth, and didn't speak again...

That night, Chu Ci didn't leave Zhuangzi until dark.When he left, his face was still full of fear.

Qing Miao sat across from her, poured her a cup of hot tea, and asked tentatively, "What's wrong with the girl? But is there something on your mind?"

Chu Ci looked up at her, and after a while, he sighed deeply, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just feel a little tired."

"Then girl, go to sleep for a while, when you enter the city, the servant will call you." Qing Miao said, took out a blanket from the cabinet beside her, and covered Chu Ci's body.

Chu Ci hugged the warm blanket, feeling a little sleepy, so he didn't refuse, leaned on the big pillow, and closed his eyes.

On this side, the carriage drove all the way at night, while on the other side, Meng Jing's bedroom was brightly lit.

"How about it, did you get Qi Xin's body back?" He glanced at the hidden guard kneeling on the ground, and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing the words, the dark guard raised his hand and arched, and replied, "If you go back to the lord, I feel that the old thief is too bald, and the subordinates have no chance to get close to the body of Princess Qixin... Besides, I gave it to you before." Doctor Chu’s Gu masters have already turned to Jueming, and they seem to be planning to use Princess Qixin’s body to refine Gu... The subordinate guessed that this is probably not what the prince is willing to accept, so they simply followed what the prince said Make the worst move and burn the body of Princess Qixin together with the bamboo building!"

……

"You did very well!"

Meng Jing listened to the dark guard's words, and it took a long time before she raised her head, looked at him sadly and appreciatively, and said, "This is already the best result."

The hidden guards are not grass and trees, so they can't hear the sadness in their master's heart.He knelt straight on the ground, pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "There is one more thing, this subordinate wants to report to the lord!"

"You, go ahead!"

"That Gu master named Gutang, his subordinates have already controlled him, I don't know how the prince plans to deal with him, should he be killed on the spot, or sent to the Chu residence?"

"The Gu Master was caught?" Meng Jing showed a bit of shock on his face, "How did you get caught?"

"Returning to the prince, Jueming and Gutang's biggest reliance is Princess Qixin. Now that Princess Qixin is dead, even the body has been burned, and they themselves have no reliance... Originally, the subordinates wanted to do their best to catch Juexin. Ming that old thief is bald, but he didn't expect that that Nanjiang Gu master would risk his life to protect Jueming, and Jueming was so ruthless that he pulled everyone to back him up, this subordinate let that The old thief ran away."

"Well, the king knows!" Meng Jing nodded lightly after hearing what the dark guard said, and then said, "Since Jueming has nothing to rely on, then I will order you to scatter all the people who can be sacked." Go out, and be sure to chase Jueming back as soon as possible."

"Yes, my lord!"

"As for the Gu Master, there is no need to send it to the Chu residence, you go in person and send a message to the Chu residence."

"Yes, my lord!"

"Go down!" Meng Jing waved at the dark guard again, and the dark guard left.

Chu house.

Not long after Chu Ci returned to the mansion, news from the secret guard came.

"Gutang was caught?" Chu Ci looked at the hidden guard kneeling in the hall, the surprise on his face was exactly the same as that of Meng Jing.

The dark guard clasped his hands and nodded, "If you come back to Shizifei, it's like this!"

"I see." Chu Ci nodded slightly at him, then rewarded him with several boxes of high-quality sword medicine, and then let him leave.

The dark guard listened to Chuci's release, put away the ointment in his hand, and turned to leave.

But when he went out, he was stopped by Chu Ci again.

"I don't know what orders the concubine Shi Zi has?" The dark guard turned his head and asked again in doubt.

After pondering for a while, Chu Ci asked him back, "If I want to meet that Gu Master now, would it be convenient or not?"

Hearing what she said, the dark guard was stunned, "The imperial concubine wants to see the Gu master? Why?"

"Want to make sure of something?"

"Can't someone else do it for you?"

Chu Ci nodded, "It's really inconvenient for others to do it for you!"

"If that's the case...how about asking the Imperial Concubine to wait for a while, and pick you up after the subordinates make arrangements?"

"Then hurry up! Otherwise, I'm afraid that Jueming will cause something else." Chu Ci said worriedly.

The dark guard could clearly see the seriousness on her face, and after giving a precise deadline, he retreated outwards.

After he left, Chu Ci stayed in the study for a long time before returning to Xie Ciju...

The next day, she went to Xue's mansion for a visit as usual.

After two days of recuperation, the wound on Xue Ling's face became more stable, and it didn't hurt too much.

While helping her wrap the gauze, she nodded in satisfaction and said, "The recovery is very good, the edge of the wound is very smooth, within three months, it will definitely return to its previous appearance."

Xue Ling's eyes lit up when she heard her saying this, and she repeatedly asked, "Concubine Shizi, is this true? Is it true?"

"Of course it's true!" Chu Ci helped her fix the gauze, and nodded with a smile, "Don't worry too much, during the recovery period, you must maintain a happy mood, which is good for the recovery of the face, you know ?”

"Well, I listen to the concubine Shizi!" Xue Ling nodded excitedly.

Chu Ci looked at her and nodded slightly, then told her some other precautions, and made an appointment to come back for a follow-up visit in three days before leaving.

When she left this time, it was still Xue Shangshu who personally saw her off.

The two walked towards the door slowly. Along the way, Xue Shangshu expressed his thanks to her again.

Chu Ci just smiled slightly, without comment.

Xue Shangshu was talking by himself, but he also felt that it was meaningless... After coughing lightly, his eyes rolled, and he said another thing, "I wonder if Shi Zifei has thought about how to deal with...my sister? "

"Madam Jiang?" Chu Ci asked back as if thinking of something, paused, looked into Xue Shangshu's eyes, and said, "I haven't thought it through yet, and I'm not in a hurry."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xue Shangshu nodded quickly, "The ones who should be anxious are my younger sister and the young lady of the Ren family."

"Why, did Mrs. Jiang ask the adults to intervene?" Chu Ci pondered for a moment, then glanced at Xue Shangshu, and asked again tentatively.

Xue Shangshu was caught by what she said, and a bitter hatred immediately appeared on his face, and said, "The concubine Shizi guessed right, someone from the Jiang family came to ask me to intercede for my sister, but I reprimanded her." After a while, he was kicked out!"

"What does your lord mean?" Chu Ci raised his eyebrows.

Xue Shangshu went on to say, "The lower officials are guessing that my way will not work, they may take other ways...for example, Mrs. Zhen Guogong..." What he said was cryptic but to the point.

Chu Ci also understood.

"I see, thank you sir for reminding me!" When she reached the door, she deliberately stopped and thanked Xue Shangshu.

Xue Shangshu smiled awkwardly, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, as long as Shi Zifei has a score in mind!"

"Well...then let's just say goodbye today!" Chu Ci smiled slightly, then turned around and walked towards the carriage.

on the way back.

Qing Miao helped Chu Ci squeeze her shoulders to relax, and raised her eyebrows and said, "Girl, tell me, will Mrs. Zhen Guogong intercede for Mrs. Jiang?"

"I don't know." Chu Ci picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, shaking his head sincerely.After a pause, he raised his eyelids again, and asked his maid, "What do you think? Mrs. Zhen Guogong will intercede for Mrs. Jiang?"

"The girl doesn't know, so how could the servant know!" Qing Miao smiled, as if she didn't care much about this matter.

Chu Ci also liked her nonchalant attitude, smiled and said nothing else.

An hour later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Chu's house.

As soon as the master and servant got out of the carriage, they saw a familiar carriage parked opposite.

It is used by Mrs. Yang, the wife of Zhen Guogong's mansion, when she travels.

"Girl..." Qing Miao called Chu Ci, and glanced in the direction of the carriage.

Chu Ci withdrew his gaze, and patted the back of her hand lightly, "Let's go, let's go in first, until the last moment, we will never know what is facing us!"

"Yes, girl!" Qing Miao replied, and walked in with Chu Ci.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the gate of the Chu Residence, Aunt Wu greeted her and reported, "Girl, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo and Miss Six are here! They are drinking tea in the flower hall now!"

"I see!" Chu Ci nodded at Aunt Wu, "You tell them to wait, I'll go back to my room and change my clothes!"

"Yes, girl!" Aunt Wu agreed, and turned around to leave, but when she took a step, she turned around as if remembering something, and said, "By the way, girl, there is one more thing, Miss Zhexia came back from Ruyi Building Right now, I am serving Xie Ciju, and Miss Zhejin is also up today, she is helping to entertain Mrs. Zhen Guogong in the flower hall!"

"Oh? That girl Zhe Xia finally remembered and came back?" Chu Ci's face was full of interest, "Don't say it, I really miss her a little bit after not seeing her for so long!" Saying that, he went to Xie Ci's residence direction to go.

Xie Ciju, Zhe Xia was waiting for Chu Ci in the main room, and dusted the ornaments on the Duobao Pavilion by the way.

She is a martial arts student, and she has been serving Chu Ci for so long, so she couldn't be more sensitive to Chu Ci's footsteps.

Therefore, as soon as Chu Ci reached the porch, she greeted her with a feather duster on her back, and called "Girl" cheerfully.

Chu Ci also lifted the hem of the skirt, walked towards her quickly, grasped her arms, looked her up and down, and made sure that her whole body was not broken at all. With a sigh of relief, he said, "It seems that you are really fine, you don't know how much I worried about you when I was in Moss Villa!"

"Girl, this servant is really fine!" Zhe Xia saw Chu Ci's concern for her, and assured her that she was fine, before asking about Chu Ci's recent situation.

Chu Ci was patient and briefly told her about recent events.

Of course, when they were talking, their hands were not idle. Zhexia quickly helped Chuci change into a set of clothes, and then pressed her in front of the rhombic mirror, and helped her comb a new bun.

After dressing up, the two of them had almost said what they should say, and then they went to the flower hall.

In the flower hall, Mrs. Zhen Guogong waited with Liang Mingxin for a while. When they saw Chu Ci come in, they got up and greeted Chu Ci at the same time.

Chu Ci also saluted, and said with a smile, "Madam and Miss Six haven't been here for a long time!"

Mrs. Zhen Guogong's wife, Mrs. Yang, smiled kindly, "In my heart, I've actually wanted to come and see you for a long time, but it's just because you have a lot of things going on in your house, so I'm afraid it's just a coincidence!"

Chu Ci smiled back, "Madam said that there are a lot of things in the Chu residence these days, and it's only these few days that I'm free."

"So, didn't I just take advantage of the opportunity to come here?" She said, looking at the nanny beside her again, and said, "Hurry up and take out the things I prepared for the princess!"

"Yes, ma'am!" said the nurse next to her, and took out a red and gold bronzing gift list from her sleeve.

Yang took the gift list, glanced at it, and handed it to Chu Ci after making sure there was nothing wrong.

Chu Ci didn't take it immediately, but asked instead, "It's not a year or a festival, why did Madam even use the gift list... As the saying goes, you don't get paid for nothing, I don't have a foundation in my heart, don't you?" Dare to take."

"It's just that I think you're not in good health, so I prepared some medicinal materials for you!" Mrs. Yang has been the Duke's wife for so many years, and she can't see the precautions and temptations on Chu Ci's face.

She smiled slightly, and said all the words, "When you fell off the cliff before, I held my heart for you, but I knew at that time that you still had to take care of the Nanjun Palace and the Prince Regent's Palace Over there, I didn't dare to come to the door. In the past few days, I saw that you were free, so I asked someone to tidy up... As for other things, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who can't figure it out. He’s not the kind of person who can’t walk when he sees small profits!”

"As for Mrs. Jiang's matter, don't say that I won't intercede with you for her. Even the Fang family and the Shen family, don't worry. I've beat them up for you, and I will never let them lose their winks. I'm bothering you."

"Really, you have enough troubles here."

"Let me say this, you shouldn't reject our family's things anymore, right?"

Chu Ci heard what Mrs. Zhen Guo said, but there was still something in his heart that he didn't understand.

She smiled embarrassedly at Mrs. Zhen Guogong, and said, "In this way, I bet on a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart! I should apologize to you!" After saying that, she stood up and wanted to ask Yang saluted.

Seeing this, Yang hurriedly winked at the nurse beside her and said, "Hurry up and help the concubine Shizi!"

The nanny understood, and hurriedly supported Chu Ci, and Yang said at the right time, "There is no need for these vain rituals between our two families, you just sit down, it's better for us to talk than anything else!"

"Ma'am is right!" Chu Ci nodded again and again, but because of his youth, his skin was still a little tender, and his cheeks were slightly red.

Mrs. Yang saw her performance in her eyes, and then quickly changed the subject in a considerate manner, saying, "By the way, Ming Xin has some minor health problems recently. If it's convenient for Shi Zifei, you might as well help her see a new one now." Look!"

"Alright!"

Chu Ci also knew that Mrs. Yang was helping her out, so she quickly climbed down the ladder, looked sideways at Liang Mingxin, who was sitting beside Mrs. Yang, and said, "Miss Six is ​​not feeling well, is it because of the tightness in her chest, or after blowing the cold wind?" Shortness of breath?"

Liang Ming smiled at Chu Ci embarrassedly, and said, "If you go back to my sister, it's chest tightness. Does this symptom cause a pulse?" After saying that, she got up and walked towards Chu Ci, and sat beside her deliberately. Rolling up the sleeves, revealing a section of white wrist, he said to Chu Ci, "Then please help me to have a look!"

Chu Ci nodded, and then gently squeezed her wrist.

Close your eyes, think carefully, and after about a quarter of an hour, let go of her and said, "Your body should be recuperating well recently, and the hospital shouldn't be bored..."

"Then why do I still feel bored?" Liang Mingxin frowned slightly.

Chu Ci smiled at her and joked, "That's because you've been running wild recently!"
