Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 27 Vicious
The news of Chu Ci's pregnancy was released from Yunshuiju.As if it had wings, it spread to the palace as quickly as possible, and spread to every dignitary's mansion in the capital.

However, no matter how fast the news spreads, the changes will happen as quickly as possible.

But just twelve hours.

The good news of "the princess regent is pregnant" has become "the prince regent is covered with green clouds, and he will not hesitate to borrow seeds for the sake of face"...

In the Prince Regent's Palace, the first person to hear the rumors was Concubine Yun.

Immediately, she flicked her sleeves, smashed a set of tea sets with a livid face, and with a gloomy face, she angrily ordered Mother Liu who came out of the palace with her, "Go, bring me the princess here, no matter what method you use!"

"Yes, Grand Concubine." Liu Mama replied tremblingly, then bowed and retreated.

With clouds and water in the middle, Chu Ci didn't know that he was approaching a catastrophe.

She was leaning on the couch, flipping through a book of medical skills in boredom.

Hearing movement outside, she closed the book, sat up straight, and said to Baoyue, "What's going on outside? Go out and have a look."

Baoyue answered "Yes" and walked outside.

After about half a cup of tea, she came back, bowed and said, "It's Mammy Liu from Hexuantang who is arguing with the people from Yunshuiju outside, and wants to take the princess to Hexuantang."

"Why do you have to go to Hexuantang for no reason, can you find out clearly?" Chu Ci frowned and asked.

Baoyue shook her head, "Grandma Liu has a strict mouth and refuses to tell the details. It's just that her attitude is extremely tough."

Chu Ci frowned even tighter, and after a moment of silence, he told her, "My lord is not here, I am inconvenient after all, you go and tell the guards and mother-in-law of Yunshuiju, don't let the people from Hexuantang break in, everything Let's talk about it when the prince comes back from court."

"Yes, the servant will save it." Baoyue took the order and left.

Chu Ci looked in the direction she left.For some reason, the right eyelid jumped up suddenly. She raised her hand to touch it, but the eyelid stopped twitching, and as soon as the fingers left, the eyelid twitched violently again...

Left good and right bad... Thinking of these four words, she became inexplicably irritable.

Outside, Grandma Liu spent a lot of effort to get herself into a mess, with scratches all over her face, and her hair turned into a chicken coop, but she didn't force her way into Chu Ci's bedroom.

He could only go back to Hexuan Hall in a dazed manner.

In the Hexuan Hall, Concubine Yun became furious when she saw Nanny Liu like this. She slapped the table and said with a dark face, "Who did this!"

Grandma Liu waited for the opportunity to complain, and howled with snot and tears, "Princess, this old slave is incompetent and failed to bring you back... The princess, relying on the prince's favor, doesn't take you seriously at all. She didn't even see the old slave, and didn't ask any questions. As soon as she heard that she was from He Xuantang, she immediately ordered someone to beat the old slave out... Taifei, on the surface, she slapped the old slave in the face, but in reality Now, she clearly slapped He Xuantang in the face, and it was the concubine you..."

Concubine Yun had always hated Chu Ci in her heart, but now that she was fueled by Liu Mama, she was even more furious.She got up angrily, her eyes seemed to be poisoned, and she shouted angrily, "If you dare to hit someone around me, I will teach her the rules today! Nanny Liu, follow me! I will give you an explanation today !"

"Yes, Concubine!" Liu Nanny agreed, and quickly got up from the ground to follow.

Concubine Yun led a group of people and walked aggressively towards Yunshuiju, and within a quarter of an hour, they arrived.

The guards and mother-in-law of Yunshuiju dared to be ordered to stop Grandma Liu, but they did not dare to act presumptuously in front of Concubine Yun.

Concubine Yun gave those people a cold look, straightened her back, and walked towards the inner room.

In the inner room, Chu Ci's right eyelid was still twitching, making her heart flutter and restless.

It wasn't until Concubine Yun and others lifted the curtain and came in that the cramping feeling disappeared.

She raised her head, glanced at Concubine Yun with a bad look, and was about to salute.

As soon as she lowered her head, Concubine Yun raised her hand and slapped her back.

The force was fast and ruthless, not to mention Chuci, even Baoyue, who had been staring and guarding against Concubine Yun, didn't react.

Chu Ci was so beaten that his eyes were staring at him, his body tilted, and he almost fell to the ground.At the critical moment, fortunately Baoyue stepped forward in time to support her.

"Princess, are you okay?" Baoyue was so nervous that her eyes were red, and her voice was full of tears.

"..." Chu Ci covered his hot cheeks, his ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear the voice of hugging the moon at all.

A streak of bright red rolled down from the corner of her mouth, and tears rolled in her eyes—from Modern to Yun Chao, she has lived for so many years, and she has never been beaten, let alone slapped head and face.

She bit her lip hard, pinched Baoyue's arm tightly, and almost exhausted all her strength to resist the slap back.

When the feeling of tinnitus subsided, she let go of the arm holding the moon, turned her head, and looked at Concubine Yun coldly, with a cold light in her eyes, and said word by word, "Please tell the concubine whether I will What did you do wrong? You actually let me embarrass me in front of so many servants and slap my mouth!"

Concubine Yun sneered when she heard the words, "What mistakes did you make, you still have the face to ask! I will teach you well today, what are rules and what are women's morals!"

"Grandma Liu, continue to slap me!"

"Yes, Concubine!" Liu Nanny's eyes flashed with viciousness, her brows raised, and she stepped forward to slap Chu Ci.

Chu Ci was unprepared just now, and was slapped by Concubine Yun, and it was difficult for her to fight back because she was an elder.But Nanny Liu, what is she that dares to act presumptuously in front of her?

With a slight flip of the hand hidden in the sleeve, she pinched three silver needles at her fingertips.The next moment, a gust of breaking wind hit her face, she saw the timing, and suddenly raised her hand to block it.

The next moment, a scream almost broke the roof of Yunshuiju's bedroom.

Nanny Liu held up her hand in pain, her expression almost distorted.And her hand became bruised and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye, and every time it swelled, the tingling sensation would become ten times stronger.

"Concubine Tai, Concubine Tai, save...save this old slave!" She shouted at Concubine Yun with a ferocious face, incoherently speaking.

Concubine Yun was also frightened by the scene in front of her, her shoulders shrank slightly, she stared at Liu Mama for a long time before turning her gaze to Chu Ci.

But he was a little more scruples, and he spoke again, with a little lack of confidence, "You... why are you so vicious!"

"Am I vicious?" Chu Ci glanced at the silver needle on his fingertips and sneered, "If I'm really vicious, it won't be the dog beside you, Taifei, but you!"

Concubine Yun did not expect Chu Ci to have such an aggressive side, her arrogance suddenly weakened, and after a long while, she spoke again, saying, "I can't blame you for slapping you, I can only blame you I don't obey women's morals!"

"I don't obey women's morals, which eye did you see?" Chu Ci asked bluntly.

Concubine Yun snorted, "The whole capital knows that you are pregnant with a bastard!"

Chu Ci was stimulated by the word "wild species". For a while, his body was filled with cold air. After taking a deep breath for a long time, he said in a deep voice, "You mean, the whole capital knows that I am pregnant with a wild species?!"

Concubine Yun glanced at her contemptuously, "If you are sensible, you can kill yourself with a piece of white silk, and I will forcefully give you a whole body for the sake of Jing'er's wife. But if you don't Acquaintance..."

"What if I don't know people?!" Chu Ci looked straight at Concubine Yun, his face full of sarcasm.

Concubine Yun's eyes were full of hostility, she looked at her coldly, and said firmly, "I will never allow anyone to tarnish and confuse the blood of the royal family!"

Chu Ci sneered, looked into her eyes and asked back, "Then what if the person who tarnished and confused the royal blood is the concubine?"

Her eyes were too cold and sharp, as if she could see through people's hearts.Concubine Yun was in a state of embarrassment for a moment, but soon she came back to her senses and said angrily, "Don't bite me, I'm not a slutty woman like you!"

"Toffee don't have to be so stern, you know what kind of person you are..." Chu Ci looked at her coldly, with an inscrutable look, as if he could see through everything.

Concubine Yun looked at her, feeling even more flustered, and even her voice unconsciously stuttered, "Don't say something cloudy and misty, I'm sitting upright, and I'm open and upright. frankly..."

Chu Ci was noncommittal, really didn't want to see her face again, and said directly to the guest, "I'm tired and want to rest, so I won't see you off." After speaking, he walked towards the bed behind the screen.

Concubine Yun watched her background drift away, she clenched her hands tightly, with complicated emotions, she didn't call her back, but turned around restlessly, and walked out in a panic...

How to do?How to do!
The secret that had been hidden for so many years was still discovered.

What should she do!
When Meng Jing came back, Chu Ci had asked people to inquire about the rumors outside, and the wound on his face had been iced, but the bruise was still horribly swollen.

"Did the concubine beat her?" Meng Jing looked at her side face distressedly and asked affirmatively.

Chu Ci smiled coldly, "Otherwise? Besides the concubine, who else would dare to do anything to me!"

"...This king will give you an explanation for this matter." Meng Jing said word by word after pondering for a moment.

Chu Ci waved his hand, "I'll talk about this later, can you hear the rumors outside?"

Meng Jing nodded when he heard the words, with a look of sternness on his face, and hummed in a chilly voice, "This king will not let those who spread rumors go, not even one."

"I have a way here." Chu Ci didn't ask Meng Jing what he was going to do, but told him straightforwardly that he could handle it.

"What way?" Meng Jing frowned and asked.

Chu Ci signaled him to listen to him, and then said his method in a low voice.

After hearing this, Meng Jing gave her a meaningful look, nodded and said, "It's up to you."

The corners of Chu Ci's lips curled into a cold arc—is her person so easy to bully?Her rumors are so easy to create?

Those who dare to bully her and spread rumors about her must bear her temper!
……

A night that was destined to be restless passed.

Early the next morning, many dignitaries in the capital who woke up from their concubines' beds found that they couldn't get hard anymore!
Ren Xiaoqie uses her hands and mouth, no matter how she provokes her, she just can't be hardened!
To raise or not to raise, this is a major event of passing on the family line and extending the descendants!
All the dignitaries were so anxious for a moment that they didn't even care about the morning court.

Palace, Golden Palace.

Emperor Jing Ming's face turned darker when he looked at the empty Jinluan Palace.

He turned his head, looked at the eunuch Li Zhong calmly, and said in a cold voice, "This...what's going on!"

The great eunuch Li Zhong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and said, "Early in the morning, Duke Zhen, Duke Liang, Prime Minister Jiang... more than a dozen adults handed over urgently ill patients to the palace..."

"Sudden illness?" Emperor Jing Ming's face flashed unnaturally, he lowered his voice, and asked, "You know it is, what sudden illness?"

Li Zhong bent down and approached Emperor Jingming, "The subordinate officials in Mr. Jiang's house revealed something vaguely...it seems that he didn't do it."

Do not lift!

As soon as these two words came out, Emperor Jingming's face turned pale, and he immediately clamped his legs under the dragon robe.

Li Zhong is a fine individual, he immediately noticed something strange about his master, bowed his back even more, and said in a lower voice, "It is said that Master Xie and Master Liang also suffer from this disease..."

When Emperor Jing Ming heard it, he understood in an instant.

His high-ranking ministers of the whole court, including him, the emperor, suddenly collectively refused to vote!

As for why.

There was a sneer in his heart.Turning his head, he ordered Li Zhong, "Chuan Tai Hospital's Yang Yuan sentenced to Qianyuan Hall!"

"...Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Zhong agreed, taking into account Emperor Jing Ming's mood, and retreated in person.

Half an hour later, Qianyuan Hall.

Emperor Jingming cast a cold look at Yang Yuanpan, "What can we expect?"

Yang Yuanjuan knelt on the cold and hard marble floor, shook his head tremblingly, and said, "The emperor forgives the crime, but the minister is incompetent. I can't see what's wrong with the emperor's pulse!"

"...Forget it, you go down first, don't spread the matter of today!" Emperor Jing Ming's face darkened even more, but he had no choice but to let him go.

Yang Yuanpan was sweating profusely, walked on his knees, and retreated cautiously.

It wasn't until he retreated outside the hall and stood up with the help of the red porch that his heart fell back into his stomach. After a while, he tremblingly walked towards the Tai Hospital...

In the next month, the air pressure in the capital was unprecedentedly low.

The dignitaries all knew what the problem was, but they didn't have the courage to go to the gate of the Prince Regent's house.

Until a minister came out of the Rejuvenation Pavilion and returned to normal.

Then one pass ten, ten pass one hundred.

On the second day, all the dignitaries and ministers rushed to the Huichun Pavilion wearing a fence.

The shopkeeper of the Rejuvenation Hall did not shy away from saying that the prescription was given by the Princess Regent, and the medicine was also sold for the Princess Regent.

A pair of 10 taels of gold is the best.

Those powerful ministers who were recruited scolded Chu Ci and Meng Jing ruthlessly in their hearts, but when it was time to pay, they still had to bear the pain and pay out, even if the money was the furniture they had owned for so many years as an official , Even if you have to find a good colleague to write an IOU to borrow money... you have to buy it!
After this turmoil passed, Chu Ci made a lot of money.

Naturally, those red lips and white teeth, the unsavory rumors also disappeared without a trace.

In the crane selection hall.

Concubine Yun looked at Chun Xiao with an extremely complicated expression, "I didn't expect that bitch to be quite capable... Jing'er's illness must be cured by her!"

As Concubine Yun's most trusted maidservant, Chunxiao also has some understanding of the turmoil outside a while ago.

Hearing this, Fushen said with a smile, "What Your Majesty said is that Wangfei's medical skills are really good."

Concubine Yun's face was cold, "No matter how good she is, she is not the person on the cusp of my heart. I only suffer from you, Xiao'er, who is obviously good-looking, but you can only stay in this deserted Hexuantang, with this lonely family in this palace. ..."

When Chunxiao heard what Concubine Yun said, a little sadness also surged in her heart.But soon, he covered it up again, and while gently beating Concubine Yun's back, said, "Xiao'er never wants to be a master, Xiao'er just wants to be by Madam's side."

"...Good Xiao'er, I'm sorry for you." Concubine Yun choked up, and became more determined to plan for Chunxiao.

Yunshuiju.

Chu Ci glanced at the account book sent by the shopkeeper of Huichun Pavilion, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed it directly to Baoyue.

Baoyue looked at the small silver box, and was a little afraid to take it, "With so many gold and silver tickets, the princess really wants to hand them over to the servants for safekeeping?"

"Why, you don't want to?" Chu Ci glanced at her indifferently, "Then I should change someone?"

Baoyue shook her head quickly, "I am willing, I will take good care of the princess."

Chu Ci smiled, looked at the exquisite silver box in her arms, and said, "I will earn more in the future."

Holding the moon and smiling, the brows and eyes are crooked, "The servant believes in the empress!"

The master and servant were warming up, when suddenly there was a rush of noise outside.

Chu Ci subconsciously frowned, winked at Baoyue, and was about to let her go out to see what was going on.

From the outside, the voice of the chief steward of the palace came in first——

"Princess, the Empress Dowager of the Palace of Compassion and Ning has summoned you to enter the palace. Eunuch De is waiting in the front hall now..."

Chu Ci was taken aback, the Empress Dowager of the Palace of Compassion?

Isn't that Meng Jing's aunt—the queen mother.

She remembered that when Meng Jing was gossiping with her, she once mentioned with a sneer that the Queen Mother Ren was a ruthless person who cannibalize people without spit out bones.

Back then, I don't know how many concubines and heirs of the late emperor died at her hands for no reason.Even Meng Jing, because of her, went to the frontier at a young age, and lived and died for more than a hundred times, and was not allowed to return for more than ten years.

Now, the Empress Dowager Ren wanted to see her.

——Is she also here for the piece of meat in her belly?
Thinking of this, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Princess?" The butler of the palace did not wait for her response, and called out again.

"Understood, this servant will help the concubine change her clothes, and she will go out soon." Baoyue replied to the housekeeper for her.

Then he helped her to walk to the cage behind the screen. As he walked, he softly comforted her and said, "Princess, don't be afraid, the lord is in power now, and the sun is in full swing. Even if the empress dowager wants to make things difficult for you, you have to weigh it... you won't be positive." Those who conflict with you, servants will accompany you into the palace, be careful to avoid everything, and you will be able to return safely."

After finishing the words, he took out his handkerchief and gently wiped away the perspiration on her forehead.

Chu Ci was soothed by her soft words, nodded slowly, and gradually relaxed his body.

A quarter of an hour later.

Change your clothes.She was wearing a moon-white palace dress, supported by Baoyue, and walked out step by step.

lobby.

Sure enough, there was a white-faced eunuch in his forties who was waiting for her.

Seeing her walking, Eunuch De got up unhurriedly, bowed his hands to her, and said in a gentle voice, "I have seen the princess regent...the queen mother is still waiting in the palace, please please..."

Chu Ci withdrew his gaze from looking at him, nodded slightly, and then walked out of the mansion with great demeanor, and with Baoyue's support, got into the carriage of Compassionate Ning Palace.

The carriage was very smooth all the way, and no accidents occurred.

About an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.

Chu Ci got out of the car and changed into a sedan chair.After walking staggeringly for more than two quarters of an hour, the sedan chair landed on the ground.

"Princess, the Palace of Compassion and Ning is just ahead." Eunuch De personally helped her off the sedan chair, bowed and stood beside her, reminding her gently.

Chu Ci nodded, "Please also ask the father-in-law to go in and report."

Eunuch De smiled, "The Empress Dowager has ordered that the princess is pregnant, so you don't have to wait outside, and you can go in directly when you arrive."

Chu Ci blessed himself, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your compassion."

Eunuch De smiled and bowed again, and then led Chu Ci to walk in...

Walking through the long bluestone corridor, passing through a shadow wall, and walking forward dozens of steps, we entered the main hall of Compassionate Peace Palace.

Xu Shi has calculated the time for her arrival, and the Empress Dowager Ren is already waiting... Xu Shi is in a high position and has been proficient in taking care of her for many years. She is obviously five or six years older than Concubine Yun, but looking at her now, she can't see her. Much younger than Concubine Yun, she doesn't look like she's in her fifties, more like her early thirties.

"Greetings to the empress dowager, the empress dowager is blessed and safe!" When she walked to the center of the hall, she lowered her eyes and greeted the empress dowager respectfully.

Empress Dowager Ren said no, and waved to her again, "Come, come to this palace."

Chu Ci hesitated before walking forward.

Queen Mother Ren looked at her carefully before and after she approached, squinted her gentle crescent eyes and praised, "It's such a lovely symbol, even this palace is very happy to see it .”

"The empress dowager praises it." Chu Ci was polite with a stiff face.

Empress Dowager Ren stroked her hand, her smile deepened, but there was no trace of crow's feet, "You are Jing'er's concubine, so you should follow him in calling me Empress Dowager. Calling her Empress Dowager is too natural."

Chu Ci lowered his head, and pinched his thumbs overlapped on his lower abdomen—howling in his heart, he couldn't tell how to break it!
"Why, you don't want to?" Seeing that she was silent, Queen Mother Ren asked back with a smile.

Chu Ci gritted his teeth and called out "mother queen" in a low voice.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she patted the back of her hand with satisfaction, "Good boy."

After finishing the words, he turned his eyes and looked at the aunt who was serving beside him, "Jianmei, bring over the things I prepared for Ah Ci."

"Yes, ma'am." Aunt Jianmei agreed and stepped back.

After a while, when he came back, he had an extra brocade box in his hand.

Empress Dowager Ren took the brocade box, and when she opened it, there was a radiant nine-winged phoenix hairpin inside.

She took out the phoenix hairpin and put it on Chuci's bun, and said with a smile, "This is what Empress Xiaohui gave me as a reward when she entered the East Palace. Now I will give it to you... The phoenix hairpin should be set off by young people to look good."

Chu Ci felt that this thing was hot and was about to refuse it, but Queen Mother Ren didn't give her a chance to refuse it.After handing the empty brocade box to Aunt Jianmei, she asked Concubine Yun again...

Chu Ci had no choice but to swallow the words of refusal, and said in a deep voice, "Madam Lao is concerned, the concubine is in excellent health."

"That's good. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Sister Yun since she left the palace..." After speaking, Empress Dowager Ren seemed to be unwell, covered her mouth with her hands, and yawned beautifully.

Then, looking at Chu Ci apologetically, he said, "As you get older, your body always gets tired easily. Ah Ci doesn't mind going back to the dormitory with Bengong to take a nap?"
