Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 90 Missy Missing
The congratulatory meeting dispersed, and when Chu Ci left the palace, Chu Ci had already gained the favor of many wives.

In addition, Princess Nanjun was more tolerant of her troubles in the main hall of Kunning Palace.

Back on the carriage, Zhejin immediately came to greet her, helped her to sit down, poured tea for her, and said, "Miss, didn't there be any accidents at the banquet this time?"

Chu Ci took the tea, held it in his hand, and shook his head gently, "No accident, everything is fine."

"The servant girl can rest assured." Zhejin nodded.

There were too many people attending the banquet this time, and as the concubine of Chu Ci, she was not qualified to bring anyone into the palace, so she could only stay in the carriage and wait.

Seeing her come back safely now, my whole heart is relieved.

Seeing the worry in Zhejin's eyes, Chu Ci couldn't help holding down her hand, patted her lightly, and said, "Don't worry, Qingsan and the others are still watching in the dark, everything will be fine."

Zhe Jin nodded again, looked at Chu Ci with burning eyes, and said, "The girl's safe return is more important than anything else."

Just as he was talking, King Lu Xiaojun came over with peace.

Ping An opened the curtain of the carriage, and King Lu Xiaojun jumped into the carriage lightly.

When Zhe Jin saw the male master, he immediately bowed knowingly, and retreated silently.

King Lu Xiaojun sat down at the place given by Zhejin, grasped Chu Ci's hand, looked her up and down, and asked, "The queen didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

Hearing this, Chu Ci smiled slightly, and then told what happened in the hall.

King Lu Xiaojun and King Ming didn't want to be close, so he wasn't keen on the fact that Wei Bing was pregnant, but he gave Chu Ci a disapproving look, and said, "You can't do this again next time. Let's talk later!"

"I got it!" Chu Ci nodded, shook King Lu Xiaojun's hand back, and sweetly added, "Listen to my husband, I won't be so impulsive again in the future!"

"En." Lu Xiaojun Wang responded, then lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips lightly.

After he raised his head, Chu Ci asked again, "Where is the Tai Chi Hall, did the Emperor make things difficult for you and your father?"

The king of Lu Xiaojun shook his head, lifted his lips and smiled coldly, "The emperor has been on the throne for so many years, and finally welcomes a prince, who is still a son-in-law. I am happy to patronize you. How can I make things difficult for others!"

Chu Ci said "Yes", "You are right."

After she finished talking, she was about to change the subject and say something else, but at this moment, King Lu Xiaojun suddenly held her arm, looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist, and said suspiciously, "I remember that when the lady went out in the morning, she didn't Without a bracelet, this is..."

Seeing that he was puzzled, Chu Ci recounted how Mrs. Zhen Guogong's wife, Mrs. Yang, liked her.

After hearing this, King Lu Xiaojun nodded solemnly, looked at her with complicated eyes and said, "Listen to my father, Duke Zhen's family has been loyal and upright for generations, and there is no treacherous person in the whole family. How can Mrs. Zhen treat you well?" It’s a good thing to take a high look.”

What he didn't say was that the regent Meng Jing had just gone to the battlefield in the past, and the person who led him was Zhen Guogong.

More than ten years have passed, and the relationship between the two has long surpassed that of a monarch and his ministers, but that they are both teachers and friends.

There is also the relationship between Dingnan Hou and Zhen Guogong, which is also very deep.

"Well, I see, I will try my best to make good friends with Duke Zhen Guo." Chu Ci did not notice his unfinished words, and agreed while leaning on his shoulder, "However, go to the palace to go to the palace." Banyan is really tiring, I want to sleep for a while, when I get home, you call me..."

"Well, I'm home, I'll call you." King Lu Xiaojun held Chu Ci tighter and said while looking at her closed eyes.

Chu Ci didn't say another word, and fell asleep gently clutching the clothes on his chest...

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of Nanjun Wangfu.

King Lu Xiaojun did not wake up Chu Ci as he said, but picked her up and walked outside...

Seeing this, Nanjun Wang and Nanjun Wangfei, who got out of the car, waved their hands and motioned for him to take Chuci back first.

King Lu Xiaojun was worried that Chu Ci would catch a cold, so he didn't dare to say much, so he carried her and strode towards the prince's mansion.

Zhejin followed closely behind.

Go back to Green Bamboo Court.

Seeing that Chu Ci was carried back, Yunniang's face changed suddenly, and she subconsciously called out, "My lord, girl..."

"It's okay!" King Lu Xiaojun glared at Yunniang, and said in a low voice, "Make the bed, you girls are just tired."

After hearing what King Lu Xiaojun said, Yunniang breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and hurriedly went to make the bed.

After the bed was made, King Lu Xiaojun was about to hug Chu Ci to bed, but by coincidence, at this time, Chu Ci had fallen asleep, and with a groan, he opened his eyes and woke up.

"Are you there?" He looked at King Lu Xiaojun who was hugging her horizontally, and asked softly.

Hearing this, King Lu Xiaojun raised his lips and smiled, and said, "I'm home, I asked Yunniang to make the bed, do you want to sleep a little longer now?"

"No need..." Chu Ci said as he kicked his legs, motioning for him to put himself down.

After landing, he said again, "I promised Mrs. Zhen Guo and the others that I will make rouge for them. Let's do it for a while now, and then go to bed at night."

King Lu Xiaojun nodded, "If you need anything, just let me know."

Chu Ci nodded.

Then, he looked at Zhejin and said, "Follow me to the pharmacy, I need your help with something."

Zhejin Fu body, nodded, "Yes, girl."

After the words fell, the two walked to the pharmacy.

After entering the pharmacy, before Zhejin could ask, Chu Ci pointed to the inkstone on the desk and said, "Grind the ink for me, I will draw a few pictures first, since it is a gift, I must make it more delicate."

When Zhe Jin heard the words, he responded with a sound, then rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward to add water and grind ink.

In modern times, Chu Ci has a long history of family learning, brush calligraphy, and meticulous painting. It has been practiced since the time when it can walk.

Therefore, picking up a brush to paint is not half jerky.

Soon, seven pictures of flowers and birds were drawn, and a brand pattern of Ruyifang was drawn.

Zhejin looked at it and couldn't help laughing, "I didn't know before that the girl is so versatile. This flower, this bird, the painting looks real."

Chu Ci put down his pen, put his chin on his cheek and smiled, "Speaking of which, it's not that I'm versatile, but..."

"But what?" Zhejin asked subconsciously.

But Chu Ci didn't say any more, just smiled inexplicably.

Xindao, where is she so versatile, she was obviously oppressed by her grandfather.

They have a school of traditional Chinese medicine and a school of western medicine, and their majors are different. Even their side jobs and hobbies are completely opposite.

So following her grandfather, she studied Western medicine, body cosmetology, foreign languages, and Western musical instruments.

Following my grandfather, I also learned Chinese medicine, skin care product extraction, meticulous painting, harp erhu and so on...

It's not that she really has this interest, but that the two old men are like children, competing for 360 days out of 360 days a year...

She really had no choice but to sacrifice her spare time to learn everything the old people on both sides wanted her to learn.

Thinking back to the modern times again, Chu Ci was startled.

Seeing his master's appearance, Zhejin couldn't help asking in a low voice, "What is the girl thinking?"

"Nothing." Chu Ci shook his head.

The secret she buried in her heart seemed impossible to tell anyone.

I can only quietly recall and recall by myself...

"Then this painting, is it going to be sent to the workshop now?" Seeing that Chu Ci was unwilling to say more, Zhe Jin stopped asking, looked at the several paintings piled up on her desk, and changed the subject.

Chu Ci nodded, "Well, it's going to be sent to the workshop, and then you can go to the Fukang Institute to find lotus seeds and ask for a set of empty bottles, then let the workshop make it like that, and then change the pattern to the one I draw now. Yes, and burn the Ruyifang engraved seal I drew on the bottom of each bottle."

Zhejin said "Yes" and wanted to collect the painting.

After she rolled up the scroll, Chu Ci seemed to think of something, and asked a little more, "Which workshop are you going to send to?"

Zhejin said, "The most exquisite gadgets in the capital are all at Liulichang, so the servants are naturally looking for the one with the best reputation."

"Liulichang...it's okay, but you have to remember one thing, this trick can't be leaked." Chuci confessed.

Zhejin nodded solemnly, "The servant knows, and will follow the girl's order and explain it clearly to the shopkeeper."

Chu Ci nodded slightly before letting her go.

After Zhe Jin left, Chu Ci thought of meeting Di Wei Bing in the palace, so he left the desk, wanting to make some more birth-preserving pills for her.

Received it, just after washing her hands, the door of the pharmacy was pushed open, and then Zhe Xia walked in from the outside, and when she came in front of her, she cupped her hands and said, "Girl, the lord wants to invite you to meet."

"My lord asked me out?" Chu Ci frowned slightly, "Did it come from the post, or through you?"

Zhe Xia didn't expect Chu Ci to ask such a question, she lowered her head in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "It's a message from Brother Han."

Chu Ci's face turned slightly cold.

He stared at Zhexia coldly for a long time, staring at her until she felt guilty, and then asked lightly, "Did you say what it is?"

Zhexia gasped, and hurriedly replied, "Brother Han said it was about the empress giving birth."

Queen giving birth? !
Hearing these four words, Chu Ci's eyes suddenly darkened.

After a while, he asked coldly, "Where is it?"

"It's in Desheng Building, where I met the girl last time."

Desheng Building...

As soon as these three words fell into his ears, Chu Ci's mood suddenly calmed down a lot.

She almost forgot that the current Meng Jing is no longer the previous Meng Jing.

He should really be looking for her this time only for the sake of the concubine of Zhonggong.

Thinking like this, she calmly nodded to Zhe Xia, "I see."

After a pause, he added, "However, I don't want others to know about the appointment. Can you take me out of the county palace without disturbing anyone?"

Zhe Xia nodded, "Slaves can."

"Then just wait for a while, I'll clean up!" After saying that, he walked towards the back of the screen.

Two quarters of an hour later, she came out again, with a different appearance. She was taller, stronger, and her face was painted black. Except for her eyebrows, she still had an extraordinary figure, and she was undoubtedly the same as a man.

Zhexia looked at it, and couldn't help being dumbfounded—the girl dressed up in men's clothing, unexpectedly, she looked more like her than when she was performing the task!

"What's wrong, isn't it?"

Seeing Zhe Xia's surprised gaze, Chu Ci gently touched the Adam's apple in his throat, and asked in a low voice,

Zhe Xia hurriedly shook her head, "There is nothing wrong."

"In that case, let's go." Chu Ci said in a deep voice.

It really feels a bit indistinguishable.

Zhexia nodded and led her outside.

The two avoided the guards all the way, and soon came to the back door.

Chu Ci was hesitating about how to dismiss the mother-in-law who was guarding the back door.

Unexpectedly, Zhexia approached her suddenly, said "Miss, offend me", and the next moment, he grabbed her waist and led her to jump out of the two-person high courtyard wall of the county palace.

"...You, you are amazing!" After landing, Chu Ci caressed his chest, looked at Zhe Xia, and said in admiration.

Hearing Chu Ci's praise, Zhe Xia rarely showed a blush on his face, said "Servant, call for a carriage", and walked out to the right of the alley.

Chu Ci stood there and waited.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhe Xia, wearing a bamboo hat, drove back in a carriage.

"Girl, get in the carriage!" After arriving in front of her, she slowed down the speed of the carriage, stretched out her hand and gently pulled her into the carriage.

That movement, compared with Zhe Jin, is simply smooth and... rough.

Chu Ci's arm hurt from being pulled by her. He sat in the carriage and rubbed it for a while before he recovered.

After about an hour, the carriage stopped.

"Girl, we've arrived at Desheng Tower." Zhexia turned around, raised the curtain and said something to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci opened the curtain with a folding fan, and said with a slight indifference on his face, "Don't call me a girl anymore, call me uncle!"

Zhexia: "..."

After being blinded for a long time, he turned to Chu Ci's blackened face and called softly, "Master!"

Chu Ci nodded in satisfaction, then jumped out of the car.

Zhe Xia also got out of the car, handed over the reins to the waiter, and walked towards the third floor with Chu Ci.

As soon as they went up to the third floor, the two saw Han Zhe guarding the entrance of Yaotai Residence.

Han Zhe didn't recognize Chu Ci right away, his eyes flicked over Zhe Xia's face, and he looked at Chu Ci carefully for a while, before he realized it, and called out "Shizifei" in a gaffe.

Chu Ci nodded expressionlessly.

Walk in through the door that Han Zhe has already pushed open.

Inside, Meng Jing was filling tea.

Seeing her coming in, she slowly turned her head and said, "The concubine Shizi is here."

Chu Ci nodded, paused, raised his hand to touch his nose, and asked, "Can you recognize me?"

"What do you think?" Meng Jing was still dressed in white, looking at her indifferently, with a bit of coldness.

No one can fathom the pain and sorrow in his heart.

Chu Ci was at a loss for words, and after sitting down on the brocade bench a few steps away from him, he pretended to be calm and said, "Let's talk about the business! The matter of the concubine in the palace...what else does the prince know?"

"Isn't it doubtful that the concubine Shizi can come to the appointment?" Meng Jing asked back.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Ci nodded and said, "I did find something wrong... It's only been three days after giving birth, or less than three days, the queen's complexion is so good, she doesn't have the weakness and lack of energy and blood of ordinary women after giving birth... ...Besides, she even drank tea before the banquet, but none of the people behind her reminded her."

After talking about her discovery, she paused for a moment, and said again, "Where is the prince? I don't know what the prince knows?"

"This king only knows that the empress is physically impaired, so she should be childless all her life, but the emperor, he is destined to have only one son, and he has been born for nine years now." Meng Jing told Master Jueming's words by mistake. .

After listening to Chu Ci, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it calculated by Master Jueming?"

Meng Jing was noncommittal.

Chu Ci paused for a moment, then said, "Does the lord have evidence?"

Meng Jing took a sip of the tea in front of her, put it down, and said in a deep voice, "Someone has already checked it. I invite you to come here today just for extra insurance."

Chu Ci nodded, but did not speak again.

Silence spread between the two of them.

"If there is nothing else, I will go back first." After a long time, Chu Ci said softly.

Got up and was about to leave.

"Shizifei!" Meng Jing said suddenly, and stopped her again.

Hearing this, Chu Ci looked at her calmly, and said without a trace of disturbance, "Is there anything else you want to say, my lord?"

"Master Jueming said that he met this king when his mother and concubine were pregnant... He said that this king is indeed the flesh and blood of the late emperor and his mother."

"...My lord, why did you tell me this?" Chu Ci lowered his eyes, his eyelids trembled slightly, and asked in a low voice.

Meng Jing smiled wryly, "It's nothing, it's just this news, I don't know who to tell. If you're not interested, forget it after hearing it."

"Hmm." Chu Ci gathered his five fingers hidden in his sleeves, and snorted indifferently, "...My lord, do you have anything else to say?"

"Master Jueming also approved Xiao Er and Xin Er's orders."

"How?" As it was about his own child, Chu Ci's expression suddenly became eager.

Meng Jing felt as bitter as if she had swallowed a thousand catties of Coptis chinensis.

But on the surface, he had to keep calm and calm, and carefully explained the orders given to the two children by Master Jueming.

After listening to Chu Ci, he was a little dumbfounded.

Xiao Er and Xin Er are destined to be the emperor and the richest man.

……

Digesting this shocking news, it took her a long time before she recovered.

Immediately, he took a deep look at Meng Jing and said, "My lord, be careful that the walls have ears."

Meng Jing's expression changed.

Chu Ci didn't say anything more.

He cupped his hands at Meng Jing, turned around and walked out.

Outside, Han Zhe saw her coming out, saluted respectfully, and asked, "Did the concubine and the prince finish talking?"

Chu Ci nodded, "Well, I'll go first!"

After saying that, she took Zhe Xia and walked downstairs.

On the way back, Chu Ci was always preoccupied.

Especially when entering the mansion of the Nanjun Prince's Mansion and approaching the Green Bamboo Garden...

Sure enough, as soon as she stepped into the yard, Zhe Jin greeted her with her back, and said very unkindly, "Girl... the king of the little county is waiting for you in the pharmacy."

Hearing what she said, Chu Ci's face also turned pale.

The next moment, without saying a word, he walked towards the pharmacy.

After going up the steps, he pushed open the door where the medicine was put, and saw King Lu Xiaojun standing with his back to her.

The tall, thin and straight figure is somewhat depressing and lonely.

Seeing him like this, her restless heart suddenly sank along the way.

He lifted his foot and walked towards him step by step.

After walking behind him, she stretched out her hand to gently wrap her arms around his waist with some comfort.

"What are you doing back here!?"

Although King Lu Xiaojun endured and did not push her away, the words he spoke were extremely cold and piercing.

Chu Ci choked for breath, but he didn't dare to talk back, but continued to hug her, coaxing him softly, "My husband, my child, and my family are all here, what do you think I'm going to do when I come back?"

"Do you still regard me as your husband-in-law and Nanjun Wangfu as your home?" Duke Lu Xiaojun was annoyed.

Anger was evident on his face, and his hands were clenched tightly.

But, she couldn't bear to push him away.

Chu Ci secretly touched his mind, immediately hugged him even tighter, and pressed his face tightly against his back, "Sister... don't be angry, okay, I know I was wrong, I promise , next time, the prophet will definitely meet you, ask you for instructions, if you agree, I will go out again, okay?"

"Do you still want to have a next time?!" Hearing what Chu Ci said, the anger in Lu Xiaojun Wang's heart was gradually extinguished.But in order to prevent Chu Ci from getting too far, he resisted not holding her in his arms and loving her, but pushed her away, turned around, poked her forehead with his index finger, and questioned her severely!

"I...that's all I said!" Chu Ci acted coquettishly, and hugged King Lu Xiaojun again.

King Lu Xiaojun snorted coldly, "Then you promise me that you will never meet with Meng Jing in private again."

"Okay, okay, I promise!" Chu Ci looked up at his cold eyes, raised his right hand and said flatteringly, "Sir, I swear to you, I will never see Meng Jing in private again, if I violate this oath , punish me for the rest of my life..."

"Enough!" Lu Xiaojun was afraid that the little girl in his arms would swear poisonously indiscriminately, so in desperation, he lowered his head and gave a heavy kiss, betting everything she wanted to say.

After a long time, he raised his head, pressed his right hand on her left chest, and said in a deep voice, "I don't need you to swear, all I want is your heart, and on it, only mine. The name is only Lu Yifeng... there is no other man."

Chu Ci was a little heavy when Lu Xiaojun Wang said it. She stared at him for a long time, then raised her hand, put it on his hand, and said seriously, "Okay, let me have this heart, and you are the only one on it. Your name... in this life, I only pretend to be you!"

"That's about the same!" King Lu Xiaojun snorted coldly.

When Chu Ci saw this, he knew that his anger had almost disappeared.

Standing on tiptoe, she pressed a kiss on the corner of his lips, "Sister-in-law, since I met you, I have liked you... only you..."

"Chu Xiaoci..." King Lu Xiaojun called her name vaguely, hugged her waist with one hand, and supported the back of her head with the other, deepening the kiss forcefully.

The two were deeply in love, and neither knew anything about the main courtyard.

Until, Lianzi led someone into the pharmacy, "The king of the little county, the concubine, the eldest lady is missing!"

Lu Zhaohua is missing!

Hearing this news, King Lu Xiaojun quickly let go of Chuci, pulled her behind him, stared at Lianzi, and said sharply, "Say it again, who is missing!"

"If you go back to Xiaojun Wang, the eldest lady has disappeared. Counting it, it has been two hours..."
