Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 80 Sorry
As soon as he heard the child cry, Chu Ci completely ignored Prince Lu Xiaojun.

She quickly jumped off his lap, said "sorry", and walked outside.

King Lu Xiaojun became anxious, clenched his fists, and punched the Arhat bed hard.

Outside, seeing Yun Niang, Chu Ci immediately asked, "What's going on, why is Xin'er crying?"

Yunniang glanced at Chu Ci apologetically, and then helped her to walk back to the east, while explaining in a low voice, "Returning to the girl, the young master didn't cry, it was the slave who heard the quarrel in the main room, so she went to the room to hear the sound of arguing." I found an excuse to call the girl out..."

Hearing what she said, Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that Xin'er and Xiaoer didn't cry." As for the others, he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Yunniang didn't want to ask more questions.

In Dongci Room, Xin'er and Xiaoer really slept just right, and Qing Miao was watching them intently.

Chu Ci looked at the two sleeping babies, his heart moved, he suddenly said, and told Qing Miao and Yun Niang, "Help me carry the baby to the main room."

Yun Niang and Qing Miao turned their faces away and looked at each other, wondering whether they should agree or not.

Seeing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but put on a straight face, "Didn't you hear what I said?"

Yunniang and Qingmiao hurriedly said, "It's a girl!" Then they went to pick up the child.

When the three returned to the main room with their two children, King Lu Xiaojun had already closed his coat and lay down, facing the bed, looking angry.

Chu Ci sighed inwardly, asked Yun Niang and Qing Miao to put the child in the bed, and waved to them.

Yunniang and Qingmiao understood, and immediately backed away.

Chu Ci glanced at the two children again, and then walked towards the bed.

After sitting down on the edge of the bed, she gently pushed his back.

King Lu Xiaojun snorted coldly, obviously angry.

Chu Ci bit his lip and pushed again.

King Lu Xiaojun snorted again.

Chu Ci continued to push.

This time King Lu Xiaojun didn't snort anymore, he jumped up, sat up directly, glared at Chu Ci and said, "What else do you want?"

"I really didn't drag you on purpose." Chu Ci looked into his clear eyes and explained again, "Really."

"...Then the time limit you gave me!" Lu Xiaojun Wang was unwilling to doubt the daughter-in-law he had finally caught up with, so he paused for a moment and said seriously.

"Wait until after the capital!" Chu Ci pondered for a moment, looked at him and said seriously, "At that time, we will have another wedding, and then we will be a real couple!"

"Okay!" Seeing that she spoke clearly, King Lu Xiaojun immediately nodded in recognition.

After a pause, he stretched out another little finger towards her, and said with a bit of a childish air, "Let's pull the hook!"

"Okay!" Chu Ci smiled like a flower and stretched out the little finger of the other hand, which was connected to his hook and shook gently. The two said in unison, "The hook cannot be changed for 100 years!"

After the words fell, the two pressed their thumbs to each other again.

It's like putting a stamp on the commitment to each other.

"Now, should you be relieved?" Chu Ci withdrew his hand, looked at her and asked softly with a smile.

King Lu Xiaojun snorted and said stiffly, "You are my wife, the only one, when did I feel worried about you?!"

"You just have to be stubborn!" Chu Ci gave him a sideways look and cursed.

King Lu Xiaojun grinned and cast a wink over him, "Lady, don't you know if I'm blunt or glib?"

Chu Ci glared at him again, "We have to go on the road tomorrow, let's go to bed early tonight!"

King Lu Xiaojun heard the words, knowing that there would be no more charming plots today, he let out a disappointed "hmm", and lay down with his arms around Chu Ci.

When the curtain fell, he casually popped out a jade chess piece and extinguished the lights.

A good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Chu Ci woke up after drinking to King Lu Xiaojun.

After the two simply cleaned up, they took their two children, the third wife, Lu Ying's mother and daughter, and went directly to the Peony Court.

Peony Courtyard, Nanjun Wang and Nanjun Wangfei have also packed up.

Chu Ci looked at the two of them - the king of Nanjun was a man, and he didn't show any sadness about parting.But the sadness on the faces of Princess Nanjun and Lu Zhaohua was obvious.

Both eyes were red.

After all, I have grown up in Jinling for so many years, and now I want to leave suddenly, so I am naturally reluctant.

Seeing this, Chu Ci moved his lips and said something to Xiang, but King Lu Xiaojun sensed her intention, but he squeezed her hand hard, and then said first, "Mother, if my sister is reluctant, I will do it later." Come back and stay for a while."

Princess Nanjun sighed, "Forget it, we will come back sometime in the future, let's go..."

Lianzi and Lianxin immediately supported Princess Nanjun when they heard the words, and helped her walk out.

The king of Nanjun and the princess of Nanjun are side by side.

Chu Ci and Lu Xiaojun Wang took a step back.

The third lady and Lu Ying followed behind.

Outside the Prince's Mansion, the carriages were also ready, but they were not in the form that the Princess of Nanjun used to.

Before getting into the carriage, Chu Ci looked at the structure of the carriage.

I have basically guessed that they should have traveled with Meng Jing on this journey.

But that's good too, with Meng Jing's Azure Dragon Guard around, the safety of their group is more guaranteed.

After everyone boarded the car, the long motorcade headed towards the north gate of Jinling City.

The carriage that Chu Ci was in was quite big, and it was more than enough for her, two maidservants, and two children to sit in it.

As a man, King Lu Xiaojun did not ride in a car, but rode ahead with Meng Jing on horseback.

A group of people left Jinling like this and rushed to the capital...

And at this time in the capital, in the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

After a lapse of one month, the Queen Mother finally received another secret report.

She looked at the teeny script on the secret letter, and frowned tightly.

After a while, he sighed, threw the secret report into the incense burner, and said quietly, "What should come will always come."

Aunt Jianmei was serving at the side, her eyelids twitched, and she asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, what do you mean, the regent is back?"

Hearing her question, the queen mother raised her eyelids and glanced at her, "Not only Meng Jing, but Chu Ci and Nanjun Wang's family are also back."

"This Chuci is quite capable." Aunt Jianmei snorted indiscriminately, "He was able to drag the Lu family into trouble."

The queen mother smiled coldly, "It's a pity that Dingnan Hou has all his heart."

Aunt Jianmei couldn't figure out the meaning of what her master said, so she pursed her lips and didn't answer.

The queen mother glanced at her, "Go, pass on the orders of Ai's family, and report to Dingnan Hou back to Beijing."

"...Yes, Empress Dowager." Aunt Jianmei hesitated for a moment before retreating.

After she left, the queen mother closed her eyes and fell asleep on the couch.

I thought to myself—at this point, Meng Jing's true identity should be revealed.

As long as he is excluded, those two evil breeds and the Lu family will be fish on the chopping board!
In the blink of an eye, he had left Jinling City for ten days.

The further he walked, the more Chu Ci frowned, and the more taciturn he became.

Seeing this, Yunniang couldn't help asking, "Is there something on your mind these days, Miss?"

Chu Ci sighed, "I was thinking, has our journey gone too smoothly?"

Qing Miao was puzzled, and couldn't help interjecting, "Is it going well?"

Chu Ci looked at her and nodded solemnly, "Very bad - that means there is a bigger trap waiting for us ahead."

At this time, Meng Jing, who was eating in the car, thought so too.

After putting down the chopsticks, with a gloomy face on his face, he looked at Han Zhe, "How long will it take for Zhejin and Zhexia to come over?"

Hearing his master's question, Han Zhe hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, "It should have been a matter of a day or two! The low-level job has already made it clear to them how critical the situation is, and they know it well, and they will definitely use the fastest speed came here."

Hearing this, Meng Jing nodded slightly.

Just about to tell Han Zhe something more, at this moment, two swift footsteps came from outside the car.

Then, Zhejin's familiar voice came in from outside——

"My lord, the slaves, Zhejin and Zhexia, are ordered to come here to serve as servants. I don't know what the lord has ordered!"

Meng Jing breathed a sigh of relief when the two arrived, and then told Han Zhe, "You take the two of them to Dr. Chu's side first, and no matter what, let Dr. Chu have two of his subordinates."

Han Zhe took the order, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "The humble job must live up to the prince's entrustment!"

With that said, he lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car.

"Brother Han!" Seeing this, Zhejin and Zhexia called out at the same time, "Did the prince ask you to settle us down?"

Han Zhe nodded, made a gesture of invitation, and led the two of them towards the direction where the Chuci carriage was parked, while saying, "My lord is calling you here urgently this time, but actually I want you to protect Dr. Chu... and Our two little masters."

When Zhejin and Zhexia heard this, they immediately understood. The two looked at Han Zhe at the same time, and promised at the same time, "Brother Han, don't worry, our sisters will definitely protect Dr. Chu and the young master! If you risk your life, you will not lose your life." It won't hurt the three masters a little bit."

Han Zhe nodded and said with a smile, "Actually, the prince also trusts you two, so he specially entrusted you with this most important task."

Hearing what he said, Zhejin and Zhexia nodded and said nothing else.

All three of them traveled quickly.

Not long after, they walked outside Chu Ci's carriage.

"Doctor Chu?" Han Zhe tentatively called after the carriage stopped.

Chuci heard a familiar voice and gave Yunniang a wink.

Yun Niang immediately opened the curtain and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything the guard Han can do to find our girl?"

Han Zhe arched his hands in front of him, then pointed to Zhejin and Zhexia and said, "The prince specially sent two people you girls are used to to protect your girls."

"I see." Yunniang looked at Zhejin and Zhexia kindly, then put down the curtain, and whispered to Chu Ci, "Girl, the prince took sisters Zhejin and Zhexia to protect you and the young master."

Chuci heard that it was Zhejin and Zhexia, and a touch of sadness floated on his face.

After a while, he nodded and said, "I haven't seen them for a while, let them come up first."

"Yes, girl!" Yunniang replied, then lifted the curtain again, and said to Zhejin and Zhexia, "Come up, two sisters, the girl wants to catch up with you."

After finishing speaking, he gave Han Zhe another polite look.

Seeing that Chu Ci was willing to leave Zhejin and Zhexia behind, Han Zhe cupped his hands and said goodbye, then walked quickly towards the carriage where Meng Jing was.

On the other side, after getting into the carriage, Zhe Jin and Zhe Xia immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci looked at the red circles of the two people's eyes, and couldn't help feeling sour in his heart. Then he bent over and helped the two of them up.

"You two have followed me, you should know that I don't like these vain rituals the least, so don't kneel down at every turn in the future."

"Yes, girl!" Both Zhejin and Zhexia answered with tears.

Next, the three of them seemed to have a telepathy, and they all avoided talking about the things after the parting, and talked about Xiao Er and Xin Er tacitly.

It seems that he is afraid of hurting his own heart, and it seems that he is afraid of hurting others.

The rest of the journey remained uneventful.

When they arrived in Tongzhou, the third lady suddenly came to find Chu Ci and proposed to take Lu Ying to settle here.

Chu Ci didn't ask why, nor did he say much.He only arranged for someone to buy a house for her, bought servants, left a few honest guards, and enough money for their mother and daughter to use for several years.

The third lady's eyes turned red with gratitude, and she patted Lu Ying's back lightly, "Ah Ying, kowtow to your sister-in-law, without her, we wouldn't be where we are now."

Lu Yingsu was well-behaved, and when the third lady said kowtow, she knelt down and kowtowed.

Chu Ci hugged Xin'er, and it was inconvenient to support her, so he had to glance at Yunniang at the side. Yunniang understood, and immediately helped Lu Ying up.

Chu Ci looked at her, with curved eyebrows, "Ah Ying, let's say goodbye again today. When you are free, my sister-in-law will come to Tongzhou to see you. If you have time, you can also take someone to the capital to see your sister-in-law. live……"

She did not report the house of Nanjun Prince's Mansion, but the Chu house that she bought.

After Lu Ying finished listening, she cried, "Ah Ying will remember, I will go back to see my sister-in-law later."

"Be good!" Chuci handed Xin'er to Yunniang, then patted Lu Ying's head, took out a box of candy from his sleeve, stuffed it into her hand, and said, "Ah Ying will save it for the journey."

"Ah Ying thanked my sister-in-law." Lu Ying raised her head and looked at Chu Ci, holding candy in her hand, and thanked earnestly.

Chu Ci smiled, then handed Lu Ying to the hands of the third lady, and watched them leave.

"Girl, we should go too!" Yun Niang didn't remind Chu Ci until the carriage that the third lady was riding in disappeared.

Chu Ci nodded, turned around and got into the carriage.

After passing through Tongzhou, it is only a few days away from the capital.

Everyone in the group also understood that Queen Mother Ren would not set up an ambush on the way to Beijing.

With such calculations, the days of rushing are also relaxed.

Five days later, a group of people finally entered the city.

Meng Jing didn't return to the Prince Regent's Mansion immediately. He first sent the members of the Lu family and Chu Ci back to the Nanjun Palace's mansion in the capital, and then returned home.

"I haven't been back for decades, and I don't know if this mansion can be the master, and whether the people below have cleaned it up." Nanjun Wang complained softly while walking to the back house while holding Chu Ci's hand.

Chu Ci didn't say anything.

But in my heart I understand better than anyone else.

That fellow Meng Jing, since he was traveling with them, he would definitely make proper preparations for the capital.

When she arrived at the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, it was exactly as she expected.

The corridors are clean and tidy, the flowers and trees are lush, and even the walls are all clean and flat... It doesn't look like there has been no master for decades.

"It seems that Steward Lu took Lu Qi to take care of everything well!" Nanjun Wangfei didn't think much, seeing that the house was well taken care of, she credited all the credit to the father and son of the Lu family who went to Beijing to make arrangements first.

Thinking of Lu Qi's bastard, Chu Ci sneered in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

……

The Junwang Mansion in the capital city and the Junwang Mansion in Jinling are similar in general structure, both belong to East, West and Middle Three Roads, and are designed in the shape of Sichuan.

The only difference is that the Jinling County Prince's Mansion is bigger, while the capital is very expensive, so the mansion is naturally smaller. On average, each courtyard is exactly one-third smaller than that of Jinling.

A group of people walked and soon arrived at the main courtyard.

Between two Xifu crabapple trees, there are three words on the brown wooden plaque - Fukangyuan.

It was also at this time that Steward Lu hurried over.

Judging by his sweaty appearance, he should have come back from running outside.

"This old slave has seen the prince, concubine, prince, concubine, eldest lady, and the masters are auspicious." He gasped and said urgently.

Seeing this, Nanjun King couldn't help but frowned, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Steward Lu led the masters to the Fukang Institute, and at the same time made an apology and said that he went out to buy, but was told by the people below that the master rushed to the mansion suddenly and then rushed back desperately.

King Nanjun nodded, paused, and asked again, "Didn't you leave the purchase to Lu Qi, why are you doing it yourself now?"

When Butler Lu heard this, embarrassment flashed across his face, he paused for a moment, and then said, "This child, after arriving in the capital, has been acclimatized to the environment, and is now being raised outside, and he can only return to the mansion to serve him after he has been raised."

Nanjun Wang let out a "hmm" and just skipped mentioning it.

But Steward Lu wiped the sweat off his brow, and after the King and Princess of Nanjun settled down, he said to Lu Zhaohua and Chu Ci, "Besides Fukang Courtyard, which is the largest in the backyard, the two remaining best yards are Lvzhuyuan and Luoshen Yuan, I don't know where the eldest lady and the concubine want to live?"

After Steward Lu finished speaking, Lu Zhaohua took a look at Chu Ci and his elder brother, and said first, "I can live anywhere, let's see where brother and sister-in-law want to live!"

Steward Lu looked at Chu Ci.

Chu Ci smiled, "I'm not picky either, Steward Lu, just look at the arrangements."

"If that's the case, then the servant will do it for you!" He said, looking at the three of them, cupped his hands, and said, "Luoshenyuan is closer to Fukangyuan, why not live in Luoshenyuan and give to the county every day?" It is also cheaper for the princess to greet you, and the Green Bamboo Garden is more refined, which is just convenient for the princess to concentrate on studying medical skills, and it is also convenient for the little county king to go to the martial arts hall to practice dance, how many masters think it is okay?"

"That's it." Chu Ci and Lu Zhaohua said at the same time.

Butler Lu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. The sister-in-law and sister-in-law in their family are really in harmony.

If it was someone else's house, they would have to fight in order to pick a yard.

"Then, how many masters will this old slave send over here?" After suppressing his thoughts, Steward Lu looked at the three of Chu Ci and said respectfully.

Chu Ci had no objection, and neither did Lu Zhaohua and King Lu Xiaojun.

The two places to live were arranged like this.

After two quarters of an hour, Chu Ci finally rested.

She gave the child to Prince Lu Xiaojun to watch over, and after taking a brief bath, she planned to catch up on sleep.

King Lu Xiaojun looked at Chuci's appearance of Shui Furong, hugged the child, and said a little distractedly, "Lady, don't forget what you promised me on the last night in Jinling!"

Chu Ci: "..."

Is this a superficial man?I just want to consummate the house anytime, anywhere.

Sighing softly, she also knew in her heart that there was no way for her to retreat, so she looked at her and smiled provocatively, "If you have enough energy, then let your horse come here!"

King Lu Xiaojun finally waited for Chuci to let go, and his interest suddenly rose. He looked at her proudly, and said arrogantly, "Of course my physical strength is enough! You will know tonight!"

Chu Ci snorted, lay down on the bed noncommittally, closed his eyes, and was about to fall asleep.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

Then, Zhejin walked in quickly, cupping his hands like King Lu Xiaojun, and said, "Young Prince, the Queen Mother ordered that the entire Lu family bring the two sons into the palace to face the saint."

So fast? !

Chu Ci's sleepy man ran away without a trace.

She immediately sat up from the bed, lifted the curtain, looked at Zhe Jin and said, "You go out and inform Zhe Xia, and you two will accompany me into the palace later!"

"Yes, girl!" Zhejin solemnly agreed, then bowed and retreated.

When King Lu Xiaojun saw Chu Ci's face suddenly tense, he felt a little uneasy.

Walking towards Chu Ci, looking at her pale face, she said in a low voice, "The Queen Mother came too fast, she didn't even give us a chance to recuperate!"

"No problem!" Chu Ci shook his head vigorously, then grabbed King Lu Xiaojun's hand, and said, "Don't be afraid, with me here, she won't dare to act rashly."

King Lu Xiaojun did not expect that Chu Ci would comfort him immediately.

His face turned livid all of a sudden, he raised his hand, flicked her forehead lightly, and blamed, "Chu Xiaoci, have you forgotten that I am the man, your man!"

"That's why I want to protect you!" Chu Ci held his hand tightly, looked into his restless but firm eyes, and said seriously, "Master, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will protect you." You, will protect your father, mother, and... your sister."

King Lu Xiaojun: "..."

Cooperating with what he said just now, she didn't listen to a single punctuation mark!

"It's too late, I'm going to prepare what I'm going to bring into the palace!" Chu Ci said, ignoring the tenderness in Lu Xiaojun Wang's eyes, and walked towards the cage that was just brought in from the carriage.

Two quarters of an hour later, all the masters of Nanjun Wangfu packed up and gathered at the main entrance.

The Compassionate Ning Palace sent a total of three carriages to pick him up.

A car for King Nanjun and Princess Nanjun, a car for Chu Ci and King Lu Xiaojun and their two children, and a car for Lu Zhaohua alone.

After several people boarded the carriage, the carriage rattled towards the imperial city.

After about half an hour, the carriage stopped.

Several people got off their horses and changed several sedan chairs.

Chu Ci is no stranger to the road from the gate of the palace to the Palace of Compassion...

Because every time she passed by as a sedan chair, her heart was full of hatred for Queen Mother Ren.
