Divine Doctor's Daughter: The Imperial Concubine

Chapter 118 The Eve of the Big Wedding
Mu Ziyuan and Chu Ruoying fought coldly like this. For half a month, neither of them took the initiative to find each other, and soon the day of their big wedding came.

"Miss, Aunt Pei and Miss San are here." The announcement from the maid at the door brought Chu Ruoying back to her senses in an instant, she slowly got up from the soft couch, arranged her clothes, and then He said, "Let them in."

"My concubine has met the eldest lady." "I have met the eldest sister." Aunt Pei and Chu Qing'er saluted Chu Ruoying as soon as they entered the room, their tone full of respect.

"Aunt Pei and younger sister get up." Chu Ruoying glanced at them indifferently, then turned and said to Li Xia who was beside her, "Bring a stool for Aunt Pei and Third Sister."

"Yes." Li Xia answered, moved a stool by one side of the table over, poured three more cups of tea and brought them over.

Chu Ruoying took a sip of tea with her eyes downcast, and said softly, "Aunt Pei and Third Sister haven't been here for a long time, are you busy today?"

"Tomorrow is the day of the eldest lady's big wedding. The concubine and Qing'er are here to see if there is anything that the eldest lady needs help with." Aunt Pei said softly with a smile on her lips.

"Aunt Pei has a heart." Chu Ruoying would not believe her nonsense, if she really wanted to help, she would have come here long ago, why would she not come to visit until the day before the wedding.

Aunt Pei hurriedly said: "Miss, what's the matter, it is because of the blessing of the maidservant that she can go today, the maidservant is grateful, and brought some things today, I hope the lady will not dislike it."

After Aunt Pei finished speaking, she clapped her hands lightly, and the maid outside the door quickly brought in a small box, which contained some fine jade articles and a statue of Guanyin.

"I appreciate Aunt Pei's kindness. It's just that Aunt Pei should take these things back and keep them for the third sister's dowry later." Chu Ruoying glanced at them lightly, and felt really sorry for Aunt Pei's generous move this time. Shock.

When she heard that Chu Ruoying was not willing to accept, Aunt Pei's eyes flustered for a moment, she thought for a while and said, "Miss, let's accept it, Qing'er is still young, maidservant and concubine can make calculations slowly."

"Third sister is thirteen, right? Auntie should have made plans for Sanmei earlier, and should be more careful when attending banquets on weekdays." Auntie Pei didn't have any big requests, otherwise there are only three in Chu's mansion. Daughter, Chu Ruoying is going to get married soon, and Chu Xiner is engaged. If Chu Lie wants to have a relationship with someone, he will definitely set his calculations on Chu Qinger. It would be better, but now Chu Lie has never noticed Chu Qing'er. This only shows that Aunt Pei is not willing to use her daughter as a pawn, which is why Chu Qing'er has been hidden from everyone's sight.

The smile on Aunt Pei's lips didn't fade, but her eyes dimmed slightly, she said softly: "The concubine is just an aunt, who would invite the concubine to the banquet, and the concubine is a person who doesn't like to be lively, someone I know It’s also really limited.”

"It will be fine in the future." Only then did Chu Ruoying realize that Aunt Pei had set her plan on herself, and wanted to use her status as the concubine of Jin Shi in the future to find a good marriage for Chu Qing'er.

Aunt Pei saw that Chu Ruoying didn't seem to understand her meaning on the surface, she couldn't help but panicked in her heart, she knelt down with a plop, and begged: "Miss Bingxue is smart, she must understand the meaning of concubines, please look at it in Qing For the sake of half a younger sister, I will do something for her."

As soon as Aunt Pei knelt down, Chu Qing'er naturally knelt down too, and kowtowed to Chu Ruoying.

"What is Auntie Pei doing?" Chu Ruoying signaled Lixia to help her up, and said softly, "It's not that I don't want to help Auntie, but that Sanmei has a romantic nature and is not suitable for living in the backyard of a rich family. "

Aunt Pei looked at Chu Qing'er in a daze, tears suddenly flowed from her eyes, she nodded and said: "This maidservant knows, it's this maidservant who thinks things too simply."

"Don't worry too much about Aunt Pei. If it is possible in the future, I will help the third younger sister to see more candidates." After Chu Ruoying entered the mansion, only this Chu Qing'er was with her, who could make her relax a little , now that she has the ability, she will naturally help to take a look.

"My concubine, thank you, Miss." Aunt Pei's eyes immediately beamed with joy when she heard this, she bent over and knelt down again, and thankfully kowtowed to Chu Ruoying a few times.

Chu Ruoying glanced at Aunt Pei, and said softly: "Since Aunt Pei has her own plans for the affairs of the house, I won't take care of them. It seems that Aunt Pei is still a housekeeper these days. I just hope that after I leave , Aunt Pei can still hold the power in the mansion in her hands, don't hand it over easily, let those people with ulterior motives get it."

Aunt Pei was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Chu Ruoying was reminding her and at the same time warning her that Chu Ruoying and Yan Ruwei were at odds, which meant that she could not hand over power to Yan Ruwei at any time. Yes, Aunt Pei nodded earnestly, and promised: "Of course the concubine can do it."

"That's good." Chu Ruoying smiled and said softly.

After Aunt Pei got the answer she wanted, she also relaxed a lot. After talking with Chu Ruoying for a while, she took Chu Qing'er and left Sheng Junior Court.

The day before the big wedding, there were naturally many things to be busy with. After Aunt Pei left, Chu Ruoying asked someone to record the things she sent in the dowry, and then sorted it out by herself. At night, Also very tired.

After taking an early bath, Chu Ruoying lay down on the bed. The room was already filled with things for tomorrow's big wedding. There was a dazzling array of beautiful things. Chu Ruoying quietly looked at the lavender bed curtain above her head, thinking about the past half a month. The stalemate between the two, and thinking about tomorrow's big wedding, couldn't help but let out a low sigh.

As the night gradually deepened, Chu Ruoying also fell asleep in deep thought, turned over in a daze, and then saw a black shadow standing in front of the bed, she was startled, the drowsiness disappeared immediately, and slowly He slowly reached out his hand and took out a dagger from under the pillow, turned over abruptly, and the dagger shone with silver light and went straight towards the man.

With a sound of "铛", the man knocked out the dagger in Chu Ruoying's hand, and then grabbed Chu Ruoying's wrist. Chu Ruoying was stunned for a moment, only then did she realize that the person in front of her was Mu Ziyuan. Struggling to get his hands out, he hugged the quilt again and lay down, facing him sideways.

"Chuchu, do you want to kill me?" Chu Ruoying turned her back to him, she thought that Mu Ziyuan would leave in a while, but she didn't expect Mu Ziyuan to say such words after a while.

Chu Ruoying took a deep breath, sat up and looked at him, and said in a deep voice, "I want to kill you, so you just go and die?"

The words were obviously out of anger, but Mu Ziyuan's body shook suddenly, with a bitter smile on his lips, he picked up the dagger from the ground, and stabbed it straight at his chest. Chu Ruoying sensed the dagger in the air. There was an unnatural wave, but he didn't expect to see such a scene when he raised his head, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and hurriedly rushed towards Mu Ziyuan.

With a sound of "chi", the sound of the clothes being pierced was heard, and then it was inserted into the flesh and blood, and the blood trickled out from the chest immediately.

Chu Ruoying stared blankly at Mu Ziyuan's blood, her hands trembled unconsciously, tears couldn't stop falling, she stepped forward to look at his injury, and cried, "Mu Ziyuan! Are you Crazy!"

"Doesn't Chuchu want my life?" Mu Ziyuan looked at his wound indifferently, and said with a wry smile.

"Who wants your life!" Chu Ruoying frantically found a medicine box from a side cabinet, opened a bottle of white porcelain and red flowers, poured out a pill, and stuffed it into Mu Ziyuan's mouth. Helping him to sit down, carefully inspecting Mu Ziyuan's injuries, he raised his hand and pulled out the dagger decisively, then untied the clothes on his chest, seeing the injuries, he burst into tears again.

Mu Ziyuan raised his hand to gently wipe the tears on her face, then lowered his head and kissed her pitifully.

Chu Ruoying pushed him away directly, pointed at him with a trembling hand, and said in a cold voice: "Mu Ziyuan, if you are scaring me like this, I will never talk to you again, and find someone else to go without you." !"

"How dare you!" Mu Ziyuan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked at Chu Ruoying fiercely.

Chu Ruoying cried even more fiercely, and sneered even more when she heard the words: "Look at me, dare I!"

"I..." Mu Ziyuan suddenly lost his momentum, pulled his head together, and said aggrievedly: "Chu Chu wanted me to die, so she did it as soon as she saw me."

"Someone appeared in my room in the middle of the night, how did I know it was you!" The anger in Chu Ruoying's eyes deepened, this person actually hurt herself like this because of a single angry word, it's really annoying and funny.

"I was wrong." Hearing this, Mu Ziyuan's long and narrow eyes flashed brightly, he looked up at Chu Ruoying's eyes full of anger, left and lowered his head, and said in a low voice.

Chu Ruoying carefully cleaned the wound for him with the liquid in the medicine bottle, then applied the medicine to stop the bleeding, and bandaged him with a white cloth round and round.

After tidying up, Chu Ruoying raised her hand and gently wiped the fine sweat on her forehead, looked at Mu Ziyuan in front of her, and angrily threw the rest of the white cloth on his face, "It's finished, what's the matter?" If you don't go back, do you want to get married tomorrow!"

"Yes!" Mu Ziyuan stood up quickly, and after tidying up his clothes, he kissed Chu Ruoying's face very quickly. Before Chu Ruoying could react, she had already turned the window and left the house .

Chu Ruoying helplessly tidied up the medicine box, then washed her hands with clear water placed aside, and lay back down again, thinking that just now Mu Ziyuan stabbed the dagger into her heart without hesitation, her heart was complicated for a while. , tossed and turned for half the night, and fell asleep very late, but not long after falling asleep, Li Xia woke up again.
