Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 750
Jia Yu didn't say a word, she just waited for Sun Jian to drink the medicine with a shameful expression, took away the medicine bowl and handed over the hot water with candied fruits that he had prepared earlier.

Sun Jian didn't laugh and scolded Jia Yu for looking like a little daughter-in-law who had done something wrong.

Seeing that it was a joke, Jia Yu still didn't smile. Sun Jian's eyes turned solemn and said:

"Don't worry, dear brother, this is what I, Sun Jian, deserved in my life. I was able to come out safely this time, thanks to your hard work in going door to door and finding witnesses to prove that I did not commit the crime. I should thank you. Yes, I, Sun Jian, are your brothers."

Jia Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the candied fruits in the dish, and said dullly:
"Brother Sun, I cannot absolve myself of the blame for this disaster. It is my duty to save you. I really don't dare to accept any more thanks."

Sun Jian took the plate containing the candied fruits, stuffed the candied fruits into his mouth, and mumbled while chewing:

"I'm a rough man. I haven't taken much medicine since I was grown up. You are the only one who prepared this for me out of fear of hardship. I keep it in my heart. Since you and I are brothers and we are the same master, there is no need to If you make an unintentional mistake, you will share the suffering in the future, and you will share the wealth and honor."

Jia Yu's face softened and she talked about Chu Chengyao's visit to the house:

"Brother Sun, don't worry. Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. Since King Jin wants to use hypocrisy to get close to His Highness again, it's better to pretend to agree and repay him in his own way. After learning that King Jin sent Brother Sun back, I Then I told His Highness that Your Highness knew what was going on, so Brother Sun just needs to have a good life and rest."

Returning home from Chu Chengye, Zhong Yi worriedly said:
"Your Highness, we were in Prince Qin's Mansion just now. Although Prince Qin was reluctant, he finally nodded and shook hands with His Highness to make peace. But with so many things happening in the meantime, can Prince Qin really trust His Highness as before?"

Chu Chengyao, who had cleaned his hands, took the handkerchief from Zhong Yi, looked at Zhong Yi up and down with an inexplicable expression, and said with a smile:
"You've been with me for so long, how can you still be so childlike?"

Seeing Zhong Yi's embarrassed look, Chu Chengyao stopped teasing, walked straight to the table, poured two cups of tea, and handed one of them to Zhong Yi:

"The word "reunion" is deceiving oneself and others. The mutual trust between people in the royal family is like the bright moon in the water. It just looks good. I show my kindness because I don't want to face two enemies at the same time. I want that position. I am lacking in planning and military strength. No. Although Chu Chengye has no talent or strategy, he has an uncle who holds military power."

Zhong Yi took the water glass respectfully: "I know that His Highness wants to stabilize the King of Qin first, and then deal with the King of Qin after the prince is freed up."

"That's what I think. He, Chu Chengye, also has the same plan. His destined opponent is just peaceful on the surface, so why should he trust him?"

Zhong Yi: "It's my subordinate who is shallow."

Chu Chengyao: "If you care, you will become confused. What happened to Cao Xian? Did Dr. Wu say when he would wake up when he left?"

Zhong Yi: "Most of the poison has been cured and my life is safe. I will wake up in the next two days. Before Dr. Wu left, Dr. Zhang invited Dr. Wu to Xiyuan to ask for medical advice."

When Chu Chengyao arrived at Xiyuan, Doctor Zhang was listening with great interest to Doctor Wu's instructions on the medicines he had prescribed in the past.

After bowing and taking a seat, saying thank you and saying a few words, Chu Chengyao said gently to Meng Jie who was standing behind Dr. Wu:
"There are no outsiders here. Dr. Meng is sitting and talking."

Meng Jie couldn't resist it several times before sitting down next to Dr. Wu.

After half an hour of chatting, Chu Chengyao, Doctor Wu and Meng Jie had become quite close.
