Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 99 Child, Too Fragile

Chu Ci was wondering, the nanny walked over from the next room holding Xin'er.

She stepped forward, blessed Chu Ci and Meng Jing, looked at Meng Jing and said with a smile, "My lord, maybe it's because the concubine has just breastfed Mr. Xiaoer, and Mr. Xin'er smelled that smell, so he didn't want to." Eat the slave's milk."

Hearing what she said, Meng Jing frowned slightly.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Chu Ci again in embarrassment, and said, "In this case, why don't you feed Xin'er?"

Chu Ci heard that this was the reason, and he had no choice but to order Zhejin to decoct the medicine, and then feed Xin'er after she took the medicine.

Zhejin took the order and immediately walked outside.

After she left, Chu Ci glanced uncomfortably in the direction of Meng Jing and King Lu Xiaojun, and said, "My lord, my lord, I am a doctor and Xin Er's mother, I will take care of you here , you go to your own affairs first."

Hearing what she said, Meng Jing and King Lu Xiaojun opened their mouths and said in unison——

"My king is not busy!"

"I am not busy!"

Chu Ci: "..."

She sighed, hugged Xin'er from the nanny's arms, said "I'll take him to the next room", and walked towards the other side of the room.

King Lu Xiaojun wanted to catch up, but Meng Jing stopped him with his hands, and said, "Didn't the King of Xiaojun see the concubine and want to be alone?"

Seeing this, King Lu Xiaojun turned around and gave him a half-smile look, "So what? Chu Xiaoci is my wife, I can find her whenever I want!"

After finishing speaking, Ge opened Meng Jing's hand and walked in.

Meng Jing watched his back disappear quickly, and when he disappeared, he clenched his silver teeth tightly.

Standing beside him was Han Zhe, the King of Lu Xiaojun could clearly see the provocation of his master, he coughed lightly, trying to persuade Meng Jing politely, and diverted Meng Jing's attention, "Master, the concubine is watching, Mr. Xin'er Your condition will definitely be stabilized, you don’t need to worry about this, what you should do most now is to think carefully about how to explain to the Crown Princess.”

Listen to Han Zhe mentioning the word confession.

Meng Jing frowned again. He used to think that Concubine Yun was not his own mother and concubine, and she could do whatever she wanted.

But now, according to Master Jueming, she is clearly his own mother... Moreover, she is sick again, and she really has a few days to live.

He really couldn't figure out how to argue with her about Xin'er.

So what, let her personally apologize to Chu Ci and Xin Er.

Seeing his master in a difficult situation, Han Zhe felt uncomfortable.

However, even though he searched hard, he couldn't think of any way to relieve his master's worries.

In the end, I had no choice but to hang my head and stand with my eyes on my nose, my nose and my heart.

"Forget it, I'd better go to the Hexuan Hall in person!"

Meng Jing's eyes darkened, and after sighing, he flicked his sleeves and walked out with long legs.

Both of them traveled quickly, and they arrived at Hexuantang in a short time.

In Hexuan Hall, Concubine Yun was in good spirits, sitting on the couch talking to Chun Xiao who had just been transferred back by Meng Jing.

I heard the servants tell Meng Jing to come.

Her eyes changed for a few moments before she nodded and asked the newly promoted maid Chuntao to invite Meng Jing in.

After Meng Jing came in, she bowed her hands and called out "Mother Concubine" with a stiff face.

Seeing his appearance, Concubine Yun curled her lips with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "Looking at you like this, it doesn't look like you are here to pay my respects, but rather to seek revenge from me."

"...Mother Concubine, don't you feel guilty for treating a child like Xin'er like that?" Meng Jing's anger has been pent up until now, and she finally couldn't help it, and burst out through gritted teeth.

Hearing what he said, Concubine Yun's smile deepened, she looked at Chun Xiao gently beside her, and said coolly, "Look, I really guessed right, the Prince Regent is really looking for me. Revenge is coming."

It has been nearly a year since Chunxiao was sent down to Zhuangzi by Meng Jing, and now, she has long since lost the coquettishness she had when she was in the Prince Regent's Mansion, and also lost the desire to climb the dragon and the phoenix.

She knew that her life and her future had always been in Meng Jing's hands.

Although Concubine Yun loves her, she has never been able to twist the prince's thigh.

As long as the lord doesn't wait to see her, then she won't be able to get lost in this life.

Thinking in this way, she hurriedly glanced at Meng Jing cautiously, and added to Concubine Yun, "My lord, the concubine did not mean to blame you for saying this, she...she didn't intentionally infect her with lung disease. For Mr. Xin'er, the servants are too careless. Mr. Xin'er is the grandson of the concubine. This tiger's poison will not be returned to the son. How can the concubine be willing to hurt her own grandson? The servants of Hexuantang are the ones who mixed up the tableware of the concubine and Mr. Xin'er, please enlighten me!"

Between the tone, is actually very sincere.

Hearing what she said, Meng Jing couldn't help but look at Concubine Yun, with one hand behind her back, her voice sank, and she asked, "Mother Concubine, is everything Chunxiao said true?"

Concubine Yun glanced at Meng Jing, then at Chun Xiao.

Eyelids moved slightly, no one knew what she was thinking.

After a long time, he glanced at Meng Jing with a smile, and said, "Xiao'er, this girl is speaking exactly what my concubine mother thinks. Xiaoer and Xin'er are both concubine mother's grandsons, and concubine mother will not hurt herself even if she hurts herself." It will hurt them, and this time, Concubine Mu actually didn't expect that the people in the small kitchen were lazy and confused Concubine Mu and Xin'er's tableware... Afterwards, Concubine Mu will definitely teach them a lesson."

After saying that, she looked at Meng Jing, paused for a moment, and said, "By the way, how is Xin'er doing? Is her life in danger now?"

Hearing this, Meng Jing cupped her hands again, and said calmly, "Thank you, Concubine Mu, for your concern. The heat on Xin'er's body has subsided."

"Oh, I've already retreated, that's good, that's good, otherwise, Concubine Mother will die of guilt." Concubine Yun nodded, with a relieved look on her face, but there was a hint of danger in her eyes The dark light flashed.

Meng Jing saw this dark light in her eyes.

His fist hidden in the sleeve could not help but clenched.

Taking a deep breath, he said cruelly, "Speaking of which, when my son comes to Hexuan Hall today, there is one more thing that he needs to inform his mother and concubine."

"What's the matter?" Concubine Yun hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice.

Meng Jing looked at her and said, "There is a Xiaotang Mountain a hundred miles outside the city. There are many hot springs on that mountain. It just happened that my son built a Zhuangzi there a few years ago. It is the best way to take care of your body... What my son means is... "

"I'm not going!" Before Meng Jing finished speaking, she was interrupted by Concubine Yun. She looked at him with a sharp look in her eyes and refused without hesitation. I don't go to places where I don't want to shit, whoever wants to go will go!"

Meng Jing took another deep breath, looked at her, and said word by word, "The son said, the son is here today, just to inform the concubine mother!"

The implication is that I didn't mean to discuss with you at all, I just told you a result.

Concubine Yun was not too stupid to be hopeless, after hearing Meng Jing's emphasis, she immediately understood the point of his words.

Immediately, his face became even more livid, he stared at him fiercely, and said viciously, "I also said, I won't go, if you insist on letting me go, then just carry my body over there !"

Seeing Concubine Yun returning to her old ways, Meng Jing couldn't help but sighed, looked at her, and said almost in despair, "Mother Concubine, why don't you let your son go!"

"Then what about you, why can't you marry Xiao'er!" Concubine Yun pouted her nose and face, and answered without losing her breath.

Meng Jing looked at Chunxiao, who was huddled there cautiously like a quail, and his eyes deepened a bit, then looked at Concubine Yun coldly, and asked, "Are you willing to move to Xiaotangshan as long as your son accepts Chunxiao?" Another courtyard?"

Concubine Yun's eyes lit up, and she looked at Meng Jing half-believingly, "Are you really willing to pay for the night?"

Meng Jing nodded helplessly, and had to compromise, "Yes, as long as you are willing to move to Xiaotangshan, my son will accept Chunxiao!"

Concubine Yun couldn't restrain her excitement when she heard the words, gritted her teeth, and warned him, "Then don't lie to me!"

"My son will never lie to you. My son is still here today to promise you that as long as Chunxiao gives birth to a son and a half daughter for my son, my son will ask her to be a side concubine."

"Concubine, please?" Concubine Yun was a little dissatisfied, "Then she can only follow you as a concubine now?"

"Otherwise?" Meng Jing looked at Concubine Yun coldly, "With her status, is it possible that you still want your son to make her his concubine?"

"Then there's nothing wrong with that!" Concubine Yun really likes Chunxiao very much, she is not satisfied no matter how you look at it, and she can't help but compare her with Chuci, "Isn't your former concubine also from a low-class background? Your daughter? She can be your main concubine, so Xiaoer can naturally."

Meng Jing gave Chunxiao a mocking look, and then said coldly, "No matter what Chuci said, she is a good citizen, isn't she Chunxiao? Don't forget, she is from a humble family, and she has a record in the government!"

After hearing what Meng Jing said, Concubine Yun realized that she forced it.

But even so, she still wanted to fight for something for Chunxiao.

From the yard where they lived, the people who waited, and the dowry things, Meng Jing was grinding with Meng Jing one by one, and Meng Jing felt a little colder when he heard it.

In the end, Chunxiao couldn't stand it anymore, and offered to listen to Meng Jing's arrangements for everything.

Concubine Yun always listened to Chunxiao's words the most, although she was reluctant in her heart, she finally agreed.

A deal is settled like this.

Three days later, Meng Jing officially took Chun Xiao into the room.

On the fourth day, Concubine Yun followed Meng Jing's confidants to Xiaotangshan to recuperate...

Speechless for a day.

At night, Meng Jing was worried about Xin'er in the study.

After hesitating for a long time, just when he couldn't bear it anymore, he was about to go to the east wing to guard again.

There was a sudden announcement from outside, "My lord, Miss Chunxiao from Hexuantang is asking to see you..."

Hearing that it was "Pure Night", Meng Jing's eyes deepened, and after a slight pause, he ordered Han Zhe, who was beside him, to bring him in.

Chunxiao entered the study, thinking that Meng Jing had saluted, so she knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"What are you doing?" Meng Jing glanced at Chun Xiao who was lying on the ground without anger and prestige, and asked in a deep voice.

Chunxiao was fighting with each other, she was extremely afraid, but she couldn't help but say what she wanted to say - "The slaves are here to surrender to the lord."

"Oh? I wonder if you have anything to surrender to this king?"

"...The servant is willing to become a puppet in the hands of the prince, to help the prince conceal the truth from the concubine, so that the concubine will no longer seek trouble from the prince."

"What about your conditions?"

"The slaves don't ask for high-rise houses, they don't ask for a thousand taels of gold, they only ask that in the future, after the prince has fulfilled his wish, he can release the slaves out of the mansion, allow the slaves to marry into a small household, and be an upright and dignified lady." .”

Hearing what she said, Meng Jing gave her a high look. After a moment of silence, she asked again, "You don't want the position of side concubine of the Prince Regent's Palace?"

After thinking for a while, Chunxiao raised her head, looked straight into Meng Jing's eyes, and said, "It's easy to find a priceless treasure, and it's rare to have a lover. The slaves used to be young and ignorant, and they committed mischief, but after staying outside for nearly a year, , this servant thinks that knowing the cold and the hot is better than anything else."

"In this way, this king agrees to you! After the mother and concubine leave, if you have someone you like, this king will give you a marriage. I will give you a dowry and let you be a dignified lady."

"Thank you, my lord, for your understanding, and my slaves thank you for your kindness."

Chunxiao kowtowed vigorously to Meng Jing, then stood up and retreated.

After she left, Han Zhe walked towards Meng Jing and said softly, "I didn't expect that after a year in Zhuangzi, she could figure out what to covet and what not to covet."

Meng Jing didn't speak.

Get up and go straight out.

In the east wing, when he arrived, the whole room smelled of bitter medicine.

The imperial physician stood guard by the door and saw Meng Jing coming in.

He hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "My lord, the young master's illness has relapsed again, and the temperature on his body tonight is even higher than last night."

When Meng Jing heard this, her face immediately became tense.

He walked directly to the bed.

I saw Chu Ci with disheveled hair and red eyes hugging Xin'er, leaning against the bed.

Xin'er's entire face was flushed with heat, and she clutched the clothes on Chu Ci's chest tightly, making kitten-like meows.

Seeing this scene, his heart clenched tightly.

On the side, King Lu Xiaojun also looked anxious and distressed.

Right now, seeing Meng Jing coming in, there was a deep sense of guilt and distress on his face.

He clenched his fists all of a sudden, glared at him fiercely, and said, "You still have the face, if it wasn't for your bad care, how could Xin'er become like this!"

Meng Jing had nothing to say about Lu Xiaojun's accusation.

He could only clenched the hands in his sleeves even tighter, fixed his gaze on Xin'er in Chu Ci's arms, and said, "The child will be fine, definitely will be fine!"

"It's best that Xin'er is fine! If something happens, even if I risk my life, I will definitely seek justice for my son!" King Lu Xiaojun said, and gave Meng Jing another hard look.

If it wasn't for the seriously ill Xiao Er and the devastated Chu Ci beside him, he would have had a fierce fight with Meng Jing, and made him feel the pain that Xin Er had suffered.

Meng Jing couldn't refute King Lu Xiaojun's words, but just stood there straight, with mournful eyes and straight back, like a sculpture.

As for Chu Ci on the side, although her body didn't move, the words of the two men fell into her ears verbatim.

It took her a while to raise her eyelids, glanced at King Lu Xiaojun, and said, "What are you blaming him for? The reason why Xin'er became like this is not his fault, but me. If I didn't let Qing San Send the child back to him, then even if Concubine Yun intends to frame her, how can she find a chance."

"It's really not his fault, it's just me! It's all my fault!"

As Chu Ci said, big teardrops flowed from his eyes, hitting Xin'er's face drop by drop.

Xin'er seemed to feel the sorrow of her biological mother, and her hands gripping Chu Ci's skirt became tighter.

The crying was also louder.

Hearing the hoarse voice, Chu Ci's tears fell even more fiercely, like pearls with broken strings.

"My lady, don't cry. My heart will break if you cry like this!" Seeing her appearance, King Lu Xiaojun hurriedly moved to sit beside her, and tightly covered her hugging Xin'er. Hand, said, "Believe me, our child will be fine. You can't save him, but others may not be sure. There are all kinds of miracles in the world. There are born miracle doctors, and there must be some unborn miracle doctors. As a husband, let's go!" Writing a list, hiring a doctor with a thousand dollars, I believe that in the entire Yun Dynasty, there will always be a doctor who can save Xin'er!"

"Lady, you are waiting for your husband, so go now!" He said, and he was about to walk out.

Seeing him like this, Chu Ci quickly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, shook his head, choked up and said, "It's too late, it's too late... The child is not an adult, medicine can hang his life, child, too fragile."

"My lady..." Hearing what she said, Lu Xiaojun called her again.The imposing seven-foot man's eyes were already flushed, and his voice was trembling.

Chu Ci listened to his weeping voice.

But there was no answer.

She stood up slowly, and handed Xin'er to King Lu Xiaojun. With tears in her eyes, she ordered in a low voice, "Master, help me hold Xin'er first."

"My lady, what are you going to do?" Lu Xiaojun Wang took Xin'er and asked nervously.

He was afraid that Chu Ci would not be able to bear it for a while and would commit suicide.

Chu Ci didn't expect this, and just replied in a hoarse voice, "I'll prescribe the medicine." After saying that, another string of tears fell, smashed into the Persian wool carpet under her feet, and disappeared in an instant.

"Could it be that Xin'er can still be saved?" King Lu Xiaojun asked tentatively when she heard that she wanted to prescribe medicine.

Chu Ci didn't speak, but walked towards the round table in the room with some indescribable grief and determination.

There are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the round table.

After she picked up the pen, before she could write, tears fell and soon wet the rice paper in front of her.

"Girl, I'll help you..." Zhe Jin saw Chu Ci's sadness in her eyes, she stepped forward and helped her change a piece of paper.

But the second piece of paper was still wet with her tears.

Zhejin had to be changed again.

Changed to the tenth card, Chu Ci still did not prescribe the medicine.

On the other hand, Meng Jing, who was standing by the side, realized something was wrong. He quickly walked towards Chu Ci, held her writing hand, and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, what kind of medicine are you going to prescribe?"

"I...I want to prescribe the medicine that can save Xin'er's life!" Chu Ci met Meng Jing's cold but sad eyes through his hazy tearful eyes, and said in despair, "The only thing I can save now is his life Already!"

Chu Ci spoke cryptically.

Not sure yet.

But Meng Jing guessed her thoughts through her distraught.

Presumably, she wanted to forcibly save Xin'er's life with some tiger and wolf medicine that only adults can use.

However, after taking that medicine, Xin'er's mind will also be greatly damaged.

It's just... just...

Chuci's life is on the line!
"You read, I will write it!" After an unknown amount of time, Meng Jing was finally willing to let go of Chu Ci's wrist. He looked into her eyes and said sharply, "This master, I will also do it!"

Chu Ci lowered his head, tightly covered his mouth, closed his eyes, and announced a series of terrible things.

After Meng Jing wrote it down, she took the prescription and walked out in person.

After he left, King Lu Xiaojun walked to Chu Ci's side with Xin'er in his arms.

His mind is not as calm as Meng Jing's, and he still doesn't understand the meaning of such words.

Looking at Chu Ci's tearful eyes, he asked distressedly, "Since you can save Xin'er's life, why is the lady still so sad?"

Hearing this, Chu Ci raised his head, looked at Xin'er in his arms apologetically, raised his hand, held his little hand, opened his mouth with difficulty, called his name again and again, and said sorry in his heart.

"My lady, what is going on here?" Duke Lu Xiaojun looked at her, but he became more and more puzzled.

Zhejin stood not far from the two of them.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but stepped forward, lightly bumped Prince Lu Xiaojun, and said in a low voice, "My lord, it's better not to ask, you will know later."

Seeing this, King Lu Xiaojun looked at Zhejin again.

But he found that Zhejin's eyes also contained tears of sorrow.

He looked away, recalling every word Chu Ci said just now.

"I...I want to prescribe a medicine that can save Xin'er's life!"

"The only thing I can save now is his life!"

……

After thinking about it, King Lu Xiaojun's expression also changed.

Could it be that what his wife said was literal.

She could indeed hold Xin'er's life, but she could only hold his life.

As for other sequelae, it cannot be guaranteed.

Thinking of this, Duke Lu Xiaojun's heart also felt sad.

When his originally red eyes blinked, tears fell drop by drop, hitting Xin'er's red forehead.

"Xin'er, Xin'er..." With a sore throat, he shouted the child's name almost choked up, more tears fell down, and soon wet Xin'er's entire face.

Zhejin watched this scene, tears fell down involuntarily.

Only Yun Niang, she bit her lower lip so hard that it bled.

He picked up the handkerchief without saying a word, and helped Xin'er wipe away the tears on his face.

Meng Jing came back half an hour later.

When he came back, he had a bowl of medicine in his hand.

After walking in front of Chu Ci, he lowered his head and asked in a deep voice, "... How much of this medicine do I need to feed?"

After hearing his question, Chu Ci went to touch Xin'er's forehead, and it turned out to be hotter than before.

She really had to calm down at this fatal joint, looked at Meng Jing, stretched out a hand towards him, and said decisively, "Give it to me, I'll do it!"

"..." Meng Jing refused to give it. He already owed her too much, and he really couldn't bear to let her be this villain again.

But Chu Ci refused to compromise, she looked straight at him, and said word by word, "I am a doctor, but also the child's mother, I can only feed this medicine!"
