Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 129

When Chu Ci heard that King Lu Xiaojun was about to apply medicine for him, his expression was startled for a moment, he hesitated for a while, and then he reluctantly nodded and said, "Then I will ask Zhexia to take out the medicine." Then he raised his head and looked towards the bedroom shouted in the direction.

Hearing the sound, Zhe Xia quickly took out the medicine and handed it to Chu Ci.

After Chu Ci took the medicine, he looked at King Lu Xiaojun uncertainly, and asked, "Master, are you sure you want to give me the medicine yourself?"

"What's so uncertain about this, you are my wife, I am your husband-in-law, and giving you medicine is what I should do!" As he spoke, he snatched the medicine from Chu Ci's hand, and squatted down again , personally removed the shoes and socks for Chu Ci, and untied the gauze circle after circle.

After the gauze was torn off, Chu Ci's bruised and somewhat horribly swollen feet were exposed.

It was the second time King Lu Xiaojun saw these wounds, but the feeling he felt now was no different from the first time.

His hands trembled, his heart throbbed in pain, he raised his head after a long time, and asked with red eyes, "Lady, do these injuries still hurt?"

Hearing the words, Chu Ci evoked a faint smile, shook his head lightly and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's been gone for a long time...Master, hurry up and give me medicine!"

King Lu Xiaojun nodded, then unscrewed the ointment bottle in his hand, dug out a little green ointment and put it on his palm, and after warming his hands together, he wiped off the wound on Chu Ci's foot.

During this process, Chu Ci didn't even frown.

Even if the ten fingers connected to the heart, wave after wave of heart-rending pain kept coming... But she didn't snort or change her face.

After applying the medicine, King Lu Xiaojun re-bound Chu Ci's feet with clean gauze, and put on embroidered shoes for her.

When he stood up, the faint smile returned to Chu Ci's face.She glanced at the green ointment on his hand, and ordered Zhexia, "Take my uncle to wash it off!"

"Yes, girl!" Zhexia agreed, then turned to Lu Xiaojun and said, "Young master and slaves are invited!"

"Then I'll go wash up first!" King Lu Xiaojun explained to Chu Ci before leaving with Zhexia...

Chu Ci sat in the living room and waited. Not long after, King Lu Xiaojun came back, and at the same time, he brought in a faint scent of soap.

Chu Ci smelled the smell on his body, couldn't help showing a smile, and asked after he sat down, "When will Zhaohua and A Fang leave? Is it the day after tomorrow?"

King Lu Xiaojun didn't expect that Chu Ci would take the initiative to care about his sister, and his originally smiling face suddenly became embarrassed, looked at her, and said embarrassedly, "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow."

"Then I'll take a look at her tonight, and I'll bring over the makeup I prepared for her... By the way, didn't you say last time that she has something to tell me?"

King Lu Xiaojun also remembered what happened before Chu Ci's accident, nodded and said, "Zhaohua hasn't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much. She can't wait for you to talk to her before she leaves."

"Then when I have finished making the pills for the Prince Regent, I will follow you to the Nanjun Palace!" Chu Ci said.

"Okay!" King Lu Xiaojun agreed, and after he finished speaking, he paused, and then he asked you tentatively, "Have you seen the regent's body, too? When will he wake up?"

"Not sure yet." Chu Ci shook his head, "The injury he suffered this time was too serious. Not only was his physical strength overdrawn, but the snake venom also invaded his internal organs. We can only save his life first, and then slowly recuperate. As for When to wake up, it can only depend on chance."

Hearing what she said, King Lu Xiaojun couldn't help sighing, paused for a while, and said, "I remember that there are also several hundred-year-old or thousand-year-old purple ginseng and blood ginseng in the warehouse of the county prince's mansion. If you need it, I will turn around Just get someone to bring it over!"

This Chu Ci did not refuse, she looked at him and smiled, "Then thank you very much, Mr. Xiang!"

King Lu Xiaojun listened to what she said and thought about it, his heart suffocated slightly, he couldn't help reaching out to hold her hand, and said heavily, "The regent saved you, these are what I should do!" He is her husband, Then of course he should pay back the favor she owed.

Chu Ci didn't understand what he meant.

She nodded to him lightly, after that, said a few other words, and went to the dormitory to prepare the prescription.

After preparing the prescription, he went to the pharmacy of the palace to make pills.

When everything was done and Yuan Han was given the opportunity to take the medicine, it was already dark outside.

It was also at this time that Chu Ci left with King Lu Xiaojun.

On the way to Nanjun Prince's Mansion, there were fine and small snowflakes in the sky again. Chu Ci heard the exclamation of passers-by outside, and couldn't help but lift the curtain to take a look.

Seeing her reaching out to catch the snow, King Lu Xiaojun had a doting smile on his face, and asked softly beside him, "Does my lady like snow?"

Hearing his question, Chu Ci smiled deeper, and after a while, he put down the curtain, turned his head to look at him and said, "Tomorrow will be Laba, and I suddenly remembered that I was in Jinling City last year when I was Laba. Grandma was rescued in the inn..."

Hearing Chuci mention Jinling and grandmother, King Lu Xiaojun's eyes showed a look of sadness, "Yes, time flies so fast, a year has passed in a blink of an eye."

Grandma also passed away for half a year.

"A lot of things, when you close your eyes, it seems like it just happened yesterday, but when you open your eyes, you've already gone so far." Chu Ci sighed, with a somewhat melancholy tone.

King Lu Xiaojun couldn't bear his Chu Xiaoci being so melancholy, he stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, wrapped his long arms around her shoulders, pressed her to his chest, and said in a deep voice, "Miss, don't care about you No matter how the other people around you are right and wrong, Xiao Er and Xin Er, I, and I will always be by your side, we are your dearest people, and we will never leave you in this lifetime..."

"Fool, there is no such thing as absolute inseparability in this world! People are born to say goodbye constantly..." Chu Ci held King Lu Xiaojun's hand, half-closed his eyes, and sighed softly, "Old people will die when they are old, and children will start a family when they are old. Even husband and wife have a seven-year itch. The difference between raising the case and sharing the same bed with different dreams is nothing but time!"

"Miss..." King Lu Xiaojun's face suddenly changed when he heard his wife's sad words. With a pale face, he couldn't help but hug her tighter, lowered his head, and asked in a trembling voice, "My lady, are you still jealous of what I said to you this morning?"

Chu Ci was not surprised by King Lu Xiaojun's reaction.

He guessed right, it was because of his attitude and words in the morning that made her feel a sense of crisis.

Close relatives and estranged couples.

They were originally two men and women who had no relationship at all, but because of a moment of affection, they formed the closest relationship.

When the love is strong, it is natural that everything is good, and life and death are promised.

But what if the love fades one day?When that day really comes, I'm afraid that the two of them will be even stranger than when they first met.

Thinking about this in her heart, but Chu Ci didn't say it to King Lu Xiaojun, she raised her head, smiled at him faintly, and said, "Sir, you think too much, I just express my emotions indiscriminately, there are other things everywhere." I mean, don't think too much, I understand what you mean to me."

"Really?" King Lu Xiaojun still didn't believe it.

Chu Ci hugged his waist, turned sideways, raised his head and kissed him superficially on the lips, and looked at him with bright eyes, "What about this? Do you believe me?"

After being kissed by her like this, King Lu Xiaojun's ears turned red, and his eyes were as bright as the brightest stars in the night sky. He kissed her back and said, "I already believe it a little bit, if the lady expresses a few more times, For my husband, I believe it all."

Chu Ci listened to his request, snorted, but ignored him, turned sideways and continued to lazily lean on his chest.

Lu Xiaojun Wang was interrupted by her, and the uneasiness in his heart was finally dispelled.

He lowered his head to play with Chu Ci's black and smooth hair, and the corners of his lips raised slightly...

His Chu Xiaoci has such magical power, as long as he is with her, even if he doesn't say or do anything, just leaning together and looking at her, his heart will be sweeter than eating honey.

An hour later, the two arrived at the Nanjun Prince's Mansion.

After Lu Xiaojun led Chu Ci into the mansion, he directly caught a young man and asked, "Where is the county prince?"

Hearing this, the little servant hurriedly put down the broom for sweeping snow, bowed and replied, "If you go back to the little prince, the prince has been in the study since the afternoon, and he is probably here now!"

"Well, I see!" Lu Xiaojun Wang Chong nodded his head, and then walked to the study in the front yard with Chu Ci.

After arriving at the door of the study, the lights inside were indeed on.

King Lu Xiaojun walked over directly, and told the guards guarding the gate, "Go in and tell my father, I will bring the Shizi Concubine to greet him!"

"Yes, Xiaojun Wang, Shizifei!" The guard agreed and walked into the study.

After a while, he came out and said directly to King Lu Xiaojun, "The prince of the county invites the concubine and the prince to come in!" After saying that, he deliberately opened the door of the study for the two of them.

King Lu Xiaojun nodded politely, and the next moment he led the people and walked in.

There are no earth dragons in the study, but several braziers are burned.

The two went forward, and after saluting the king of Nanjun behind the desk, the king of Lu Xiaojun waited on Chu Ci to take off the big fur cloak on his body.

King Nanjun hadn't seen Chu Ci for a while, and since Chu Ci had just returned from an accident, he inevitably cared and asked a few more questions.

Chu Ci saw King Nanjun's concern for her, and politely answered all his questions.

After asking about Chu Ci, King Nanjun changed the subject and asked Meng Jing again.

Chu Ci was concerned about Meng Jing's identity, so he didn't answer this question carefully, but only briefly mentioned it.

The king of Nanjun is not a stupid person either. Looking at Chu Ci's attitude, he knew that he should not care too much about Meng Jing.

So, the next sentence easily took the topic elsewhere, talking about the two children.

Chu Ci patiently chatted with his father-in-law for a while.

When she had finished speaking, she tentatively said, "How is the princess coming in? My daughter-in-law finally came back once, so I should go and say hello to the princess."

When Nanjun Wang heard this, he couldn't help but take another look at Chu Ci.

Smiling secretly in his heart, this girl, looking at him, he can't tell that she is being polite!

But he didn't make things difficult for her, just waved his hand and said, "You don't need to look at your mother-in-law, she is pregnant, she should have gone to bed by this point, you will only add to the chaos!"

"The daughter-in-law will listen to my father!" Chu Ci blessed himself, and responded with kindness.

The king of Nanjun smiled, "I know that you came here today to see your sister, and my father won't keep you here anymore. Go and talk to your sister more, she is very convinced of your sister-in-law!"

"The daughter-in-law will leave first!" Chu Cifu saluted again, and then left with King Lu Xiaojun.

At this time, in Luoshen Garden, Lu Zhaohua also heard the news of Chu Ci's visit, and without further ado, he drove Qin Fang, the minister with red sleeves, to the wing.

When Qin Fang left, he took one last look at her, it was a resentment, accusations in his brows and eyes!

In this world, how can there be a bride who drives her husband out of the new house and sleeps with her sister-in-law three days after the wedding!
But Lu Zhaohua walked out the door as if he didn't see the reluctance on her husband's face.

Then, as soon as Qin Fang entered the wing room, Prince Lu Xiaojun and Chu Ci entered the gate of Luoshen Garden.

Lu Zhaohua hadn't seen Chu Ci for a long time, so he led his maidservant to the door with an umbrella.

Chu Ci bumped into her as soon as he entered the door.

"Sister-in-law!" Lu Zhaohua yelled sweetly. He didn't even care about the snowflakes still dancing in the sky. He directly squeezed the little prince Lu who was beside Chu Ci, and hugged Chu Ci's arm, regardless of Chu Ci's expression. , I started chattering straight away, "Sister-in-law, you don't know how much I resemble you. The ancients said that if I don't see you every day, it's like three autumns every day, but I think that if I don't see you every day, it's like every ten autumns...you have Did you miss me? Also, I heard from my elder brother that you were found at the Jinshui River, were you injured, serious?"

Chu Ci couldn't help showing a look of helplessness when she was bombarded with cannons like this.

But before she could speak, the King Lu Xiaojun next to her spoke instead of her. Looking at his own sister, he frowned and asked, "Zhaohua, can't you ask each question one by one? Asking so many questions all at once, why don't you ask me?" How will your sister-in-law answer, and what will you do if your sister-in-law is tired?"

Lu Zhaohua was a little embarrassed by her elder brother's training, but she was not really angry. She looked at Chu Ci and stuck out her tongue mischievously, "Sister-in-law, let's go back to the room and say, ignore elder brother!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether Chu Ci agrees or not, he took Chu Ci's arm and walked to the main room.

Being dragged by her like this, Chu Ci couldn't break free, and he was too embarrassed to break free, so he had to greet King Lu Xiaojun backhandedly, reassuring him and leaving her alone.

King Lu Xiaojun smiled, indicating that he understood what she meant, and then watched the two of them enter the main room, and then found a servant, asked where Qin Fang was, and chatted with Qin Fang for a night of wine.

In the main room, Lu Zhaohua originally wanted to take Chu Ci to sleep in the new room, but Chu Ci refused to agree.

Even though Lu Zhaohua raised his hands to assure her that the bedding and pillows were all new and no one had used them, she still didn't want to.

Lu Zhaohua had no choice but to follow her wishes and take her to the wing.

After arriving in the wing room, Chu Ci took out the makeup that he had prepared for her earlier.

There are not many things, all packed in a small box.

At first, Lu Zhaohua thought it was some kind of jewelry, but he didn't care about it. He thought that the gift was light and affectionate, even if the sister-in-law gave her a goose feather, it would be the most valuable and unique goose feather in the world.

But she never expected that what the sister-in-law gave her was something thousands of times more valuable than she had imagined.

Inside the box was a stack of prescriptions, including medicinal food, skin care products, anti-birth products, and life-saving antidote... In short, there were only things she couldn't think of, and there were no things that Chu Ci was unprepared for.

Looking at these, Lu Zhaohua's eyes became wet unconsciously. She held Chu Ci's hand tightly, looked at the small box, and choked up, "Sister-in-law, these are too precious, really too precious!"

Seeing her moved, Lu Zhaohua smiled softly, took out a handkerchief to help her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "You are the only aunt in the Lu family. It is the hope of the whole family that you can live a good life. ...Compared to your happiness, these things are nothing more than external possessions! If you really want to thank me, after Jinling, you can live your life well, and you must live more comfortably and happily than me!"

"Sister-in-law..." Lu Zhaohua heard Chu Ci say this, the corners of his eyes became redder, and tears fell down like beads with broken threads.

Chu Ci smiled helplessly, and it took a lot of effort to coax her into smiling again.

In the end, the two leaned together like the closest sisters in the world.

Chuci watched as she asked her close maid to put away the things, and told her secretly, "However, Zhaohua, you have to remember that things written on paper are not safe after all. I hope you can spare some time." Familiarize yourself with those recipes, so that those things really belong to you!"

Lu Zhaohua understood the deep meaning of Chu Ci's words, so he agreed one by one, "I listen to my sister-in-law, and I will recite those prescriptions from tomorrow, and when I am familiar with the memorization, I will burn them all."

Chu Ci nodded and said nothing else.

Seeing that it was Haishi, Lu Zhaohua asked his maid to bring in water and help them wash up.

After washing, the two got on the bed and lay down side by side.

He also talked about some private conversations between the boudoir.

When talking about the love between him and Qin Fang, Lu Zhaohua's gratitude to Chu Ci could almost overflow, and for a while, he choked up again and again.

Chu Ci also knew the embarrassing things that Lu Zhaohua had experienced, but he didn't say anything else, just hugged her silently, and finally said, "You and your sister-in-law will get better and better in the future."

Lu Zhaohua nodded, and buried himself deeper into Chu Ci's shoulder.

After Qin Fang finished speaking, the two were silent for a while.

Then Lu Zhaohua started talking about Chu Ci and King Lu Xiaojun.

Chuci knew Lu Zhaohua's worry.

She smiled softly, and comforted her, "I know what you mean, your elder brother was spoiled by the family since he was a child, sometimes he can't bear his temper, and he said angry words accidentally, but don't worry Well, since he and I are husband and wife, we will definitely be together for the rest of our lives, and when he commits a crime, I will also persuade her... Occasionally, it's okay to give in. "

Hearing what Chu Ci said, Lu Zhaohua felt relieved.

Then, the two fell asleep separately.

The next day, Chu Ci woke up early.

In order to avoid meeting the princess of Nanjun, she originally didn't plan to have breakfast at the Prince's Mansion.

But King Lu Xiaojun and Lu Zhaohua refused, they pressed Chu Ci firmly on the dining table, King Lu Xiaojun served her porridge, and Lu Zhaohua handed her chopsticks.

The hospitality was hard to come by, so Chu Ci had no choice but to take the chopsticks and prepare to eat.

Silently thinking in her heart, Princess Nanjun is a pregnant woman, she might not get up until Chenshi or Sishi, by then she must have left Nanjun Wangfu.

But what she never expected was that the pregnant princess Nanjun was not as sleepy as she imagined.

Not only that, she even woke up earlier than her, and got the news that she was in Luoshenyuan immediately.

And, holding onto Lian Xin's arm, she hurried over.

"My maidservant has seen the princess of the county, please greet the princess of the county—" When the maidservant was a little loud, with a bit of vigilance, when she remembered, Chu Ci could only put down the chopsticks in her hand, and then turned her head to look at her husband ——Looking at King Lu Xiaojun, he said silently, "It's all your fault."

But King Lu Xiaojun didn't care about it. With a smile, he lightly patted Chu Ci's shoulder and said, "Leave everything to me!"

Just as she was speaking, the Princess Nanjun came in from the outside.

The four people who were having breakfast all got up and saluted.

After Nanjun Princess called out, some cold eyes fell on Chu Ci's face, and she said in a tricky tone, "Chu Ci, do you still regard yourself as the daughter-in-law of Nanjun Princess? Please be safe!"

There was a wry smile on Chu Ci's face, and he was about to step forward to answer, but before he could be blessed, King Lu Xiaojun had already stepped forward, cupped his hands and said to Princess Nanjun, "Back to mother, when my wife and I entered the mansion last night, I wanted to go to pay my respects to my mother immediately, but my father stopped me and my wife because he was considerate of my mother's hard pregnancy."

"Really?" Nanjun Wangfei sneered, she didn't believe a word of what Lu Xiaojun Wang said to Nanjun Wang.

However, King Lu Xiaojun said solemnly, "It's like this when I go back to my mother. If my mother doesn't believe me, I can send someone to the front yard to ask my father!"

"I'll ask later!" Princess Nanjun snorted angrily.

This fault could not be found, his eyes changed, and he was about to find another fault.

But Lu Zhaohua didn't give her a chance to speak, walked directly to her, and said with a smile on his face, "Mother just came here, this is the breakfast that elder brother specially sent someone to Desheng Building this morning. I remember that mother likes Desheng the most. Lou's crab roe buns are ready, sit down and try it!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether Princess Nanjun agreed or not, she pressed her down on the stool.

How could Princess Nanjun not know that her daughter was pleading for that troublemaker Chu Ci, but the new uncle was right next to her, so she had to give her daughter face, so she had to sit down reluctantly in her daughter's eyes. After being attentively served, I ate a somewhat full breakfast.

After breakfast, she only felt that her mood was even more depressed.

He cleared his throat, and was about to continue to find fault with Chu Ci, but at this moment, Qin Fang spoke again. He stepped forward and cupped his hands like the princess of Nanjun, "Mother-in-law, my son-in-law remembers that there is a pair of Master Gu in the flower hall of your Fukang Courtyard." To be honest, the favorite female calligrapher of my son-in-law's grandmother is Master Gu!"
