Divine Doctor's Daughter: The Imperial Concubine

Chapter 42 A Warm Moment
In the night, Chu Ruoying extinguished the candle, but she was still sitting at the table. In the darkness, no one could see Ruoying's expression clearly.

After a while, Chu Ruoying's expression moved slightly, and there was a faint scent of black bamboo in the originally quiet room. Then Chu Ruoying reached out and lit the candle again. On the other side of the table, Mu Ziyuan is sitting there.

"How's the injury?" Chu Ruoying glanced at him lightly and said warmly.

"No medicine." Mu Ziyuan seemed to hesitate for a moment, looked at Chu Ruoying, and said truthfully.

Chu Ruoying's face suddenly darkened, "Are you a fool! Do you know that if you don't treat the burn properly, you will get sick and leave scars!"

"Are you worried about me?" Mu Ziyuan saw her get angry, a little hope suddenly rose in his dark eyes, and he looked at her brightly.

Chu Ruoying became even more angry when she heard the words, but she still smiled lightly, "I have nothing to worry about, it's not my body that hurts."

A hurt look flashed across Mu Ziyuan's dark eyes, he pulled his head back, like an abandoned child.

Looking at his appearance, Chu Ruoying couldn't help feeling soft, and sighed softly, "Go back and get some medicine."

Mu Ziyuan shook his head, and said forcefully, "You help me apply the medicine."

After all, it was because of her own injury, Chu Ruoying couldn't help him, she took him to the back of the screen helplessly, "hiss" Mu Ziyuan took off her robe behind the screen, Chu Ruoying looked at the red and swollen back Shaking his head slightly, "It will hurt a little, just bear with it."

Chu Ruoying wiped it gently with a handkerchief dipped in cold water. Feeling the trembling of the subordinates, Chu Ruoying's movements became lighter.

After wiping, he took out a porcelain bottle from the small cabinet in the house, opened it and smelled it, poured the liquid medicine in the bottle on his fingertips, and gently applied it to the burnt area. The knife mark, unconsciously showing pity in the eyes, gently caressed the scar with both hands.

Feeling her gentle movements, Mu Ziyuan's heart trembled slightly, and his usually dark and bloodthirsty eyes completely softened.

In the past 20 years, how many times he has passed by the edge of death, he has never been afraid, and he has never hesitated, but at this moment, he is deeply afraid, he is afraid that the woman behind him will not like him, he is afraid of the woman behind him will leave him!
Suddenly, a drop of clear tears fell on Mu Ziyuan's back. Mu Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull her in front of him. Seeing the color of water in the corner of Chu Ruoying's eyes, Mu Ziyuan's eyes suddenly panicked.

Chu Ruoying looked at Mu Ziyuan's broad palm in front of her, pursed her lips lightly, and said softly: "Why?" Then she raised her head and looked at Mu Ziyuan fixedly, "Why help me to establish a reputation in the mansion? The Princess House wants to help me? Why did you save me today?" Chu Ruoying seemed to lose control while talking, and shouted with red eyes: "Don't you understand? Chu Lie doesn't like me at all, what is wrong with me? You can't get it!"

As if the layer of indifference had been torn off suddenly, Chu Ruoying looked like a girl under fifteen at the moment, without the so-called wisdom, without the so-called composure
Mu Ziyuan looked at the woman with red eyes in front of him, and when he heard her screaming with trembling voice, he felt a pain in his heart. Regardless of the injury on his body, he raised his hand and pulled her into his arms, letting her struggle in the arms, " You really don't know why?"

Holding her waist with one hand, and gently lifting her chin with the other, he slowly lowered his head, kissed the corner of Chu Ruoying's eyes softly, then raised his head, looking at Chu Ruoying who had calmed down with infinite tenderness, He bowed his head again.

The slightly cool lips touched her soft lips, Mu Ziyuan slowly hissed and kissed outside, with a hint of caution, the surroundings were unusually quiet, even the air had a hint of sweetness, Chu Ruoying slightly closed her eyes , the long eyelashes cast a faint halo under the reflection of the candlelight.

Mu Ziyuan slightly left her lips, reached out and touched, "I like you." A hoarse voice rang in his ears, Chu Ruoying's body trembled slightly, and before she could speak, Mu Ziyuan continued: "Do you like me?" it is good?"

She lowered her head again, not satisfied with a simple kiss on the lips, Mu Ziyuan pressed the tip of her tongue against her teeth, tentatively and slowly entered, Chu Ruoying only felt her body soften in his embrace, Unconsciously, Mu Ziyuan opened her lips lightly, and Mu Ziyuan followed the trend, entangled her lilac tongue, just when Chu Ruoying felt as if she was about to lose her breath, Mu Ziyuan slowly left her lips, tightly took her in his arms.

"You like mine, don't you?"

Chu Ruoying slightly raised her head and looked at the person in front of her, seeing his dark eyes full of tenderness and doting, her heart trembled, and she took a breath, "I don't like you, let me go."

Mu Ziyuan's body froze suddenly, Chu Ruoying withdrew from his arms, turned his back to him, and said in a cold voice, "Young Master, let's go!"

Mu Ziyuan didn't say much this time, he put down his hands a little decadently, and stood up, surrounded by a sense of loneliness.

"Don't come to my place if you have nothing to do in the future. If you come to visit, my father will be very happy to entertain you."

Chu Ruoying bit her lower lip, her eyelashes kept trembling, she knew she was softening a little bit, especially when the tea was poured tonight, she saw Mu Ziyuan flying towards him without hesitation , There is no trace of superfluous scruples in his eyes, like instinct, without hesitation, of course!

But what to do?She just wants to keep her heart, and her heart is as calm as water so that she can neither be happy nor sad. She doesn't like the life here, it's too complicated and hard. Master is guarding the mountain alone now. She originally thought that when the things here are over, she will Go back and stay with Master, and live this life in a normal way.

Who would have known that there would suddenly be a person named Mu Ziyuan in his life who would break into his life so forcefully!
Through the candlelight, Chu Ruoying watched Mu Ziyuan's figure approaching little by little, and she held her hand tremblingly. Mu Ziyuan hugged her gently from behind, and said in a hoarse and ruthless voice: " Chuchu. I'll give you time, but you can't refuse me."

After the palace banquet, Chu Xin'er was put in confinement again, Madam Ye was busy making connections to deal with what happened at the palace banquet, so after the palace banquet, although everyone knew it in their hearts, no rumors were revealed outside .

Chu Ruoying stayed in the mansion for a few days, and Chu Xiner and Mrs. Ye did not have the opportunity and ability to do anything wrong. After a few days, it will be the winter solstice.

As the end of the year approaches, in the past, the trees are verdant, and the green mountain path looks a bit bleak and desolate, but there are a lot of pedestrians on the road, so it doesn't feel deserted.

Hanshan Temple is the largest temple in Changxing, where the incense is at its peak, and the famous master Liaochen is also here, but I often travel around the world, and many people are not allowed to meet each other. According to the royal practice, these few days are only high-ranking officials and nobles It's time to come.

The curtain of the carriage was raised slightly, and Chu Ruoying frowned slightly as she looked at the various carriages outside and the mountain road that looked out of reach.

"Mother, why haven't you arrived? It's so uncomfortable!" Chu Xiner said a little irritably as she moved around in the carriage.

"Sister, I won't say that from now on, let it spread out and say that our general's mansion is uneducated." Chu Ruoying said flatly.

"What my sister said is true." Chu Xiner said with a vicious look in her eyes when she heard the words, but there was no expression on her face, she said respectfully.

Chu Ruoying glanced at her indifferently, she had improved a bit after seeing her for a few days, and she didn't speak any more.However, Chu Xiner clearly saw the ridicule and disdain flashing in her eyes, and immediately clenched the handkerchief tightly with both hands.

Continuing on along the rugged mountain road, they arrived at the temple with bumps and bumps along the way. When they got off the carriage, Chu Xiner began to move uncomfortably.

After getting off the carriage, Chu Ruoying realized that many carriages had already stopped in front of the temple, and most of them had already got off the carriages. The women stood and waited in twos and threes, while the men also stood separately, doing nothing.

Chu Ruoying looked at each of them, her eyes paused for a moment on Mu Ziyuan who was wearing a black robe, and at the same time she looked away, the man turned his head to look at her, tenderness flashed across his decisive eyes .

Just as Chu Ruoying looked back, she saw Xia Zhiqi and Fifth Princess Jun Moxi walking towards her.

"Zhiqi, the fifth princess." Chu Ruoying nodded to Xia Zhiqi, then bent slightly and gave a half-respect to Jun Moxi.

"You don't need to be too polite." Jun Moxi stepped forward to help her up, and said softly: "I fell in love with Sister Chu at first sight. Sister Chu is willing to make friends with me."

Chu Ruoying never thought that Jun Moxi would say that, but she still took half a step back and said, "It's my honor to be able to meet the princess."

Jun Moxi didn't say much, after all, the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers cannot be broken, but Xia Zhiqi said: "Ying'er, the princess won't care about these things."

Looking at Xia Zhiqi's sincere eyes, Chu Ruoying couldn't help but chuckled and nodded.

"Xin'er has met the fifth princess." Chu Xiner saw the three of them chatting happily, the jealousy in her heart flashed, and she immediately stepped forward to salute, "Xin'er has always admired the princess' talent, I don't know if it is okay Ask me a question or two?"

But Jun Moxi said with a faint smile: "Second Miss Chu, you don't need to be too polite. This time, I came here to pray for the queen mother. I'm afraid I don't have time to compete with Miss Chu."

"The princess is filial, and the Buddha must feel it." Chu Xiner did not show any embarrassment of being rejected, and still smiled.

"Then I'll borrow a good word from Second Miss Chu." Jun Moxi still said without haste.

Xia Zhiqi didn't have that much patience to pester her, "Second Miss Chu, the fifth princess and I want to chat with Yinger, why don't Second Miss Chu have a look."

Xia Zhiqi's words were too impolite, Chu Xiner's face froze, and the corner of her mouth smiled a little stiffly: "Then Xiner will leave first."

Jun Moxi smiled apologetically, "Miss Chu Er, forgive me, my cousin always talks like this."

"Xin'er knows, Xin'er is leaving," Chu Xiner saw that Jun Moxi had spoken, and hurriedly walked away in response.

Seeing Nangong Xin'er's slightly messy footsteps when she left, Chu Ruoying smiled faintly, Xia Zhiqi took her hand, and said seriously: "Your sister has no good intentions, and her reputation is ruined, you have to be careful .” Chu Ruoying felt warm and nodded.

But Jun Moxi said softly: "Sister Chu knows, cousin, why are you saying this in front of Sister Chu?"

Xia Zhiqi suddenly smiled apologetically, "Ying'er, you."

"It's okay, it's better than not being able to recognize you all the time." Chu Ruoying said softly with her eyes indifferent. In fact, she is not an upright person, is she?
