Divine Doctor's Daughter: The Imperial Concubine

Chapter 45
"Xin'er has met the princess, sister."

"Qianyang has met the fifth princess."

Chu Xiner and Ye Qianyang were standing under the marriage tree, holding a red ribbon in their hands, looking for a place to hang it up, when they saw the two of them coming together, their eyes flashed unconsciously, Chu Xiner smiled slightly After saluting forward, Ye Qianyang also stepped forward to salute Jun Moxi, and then cast a contemptuous glance at Chu Ruoying.

"Why did sister come here?" Chu Xiner approached courteously and asked with a smile.

Chu Ruoying glanced at her with a slight smile, and said lightly, "Isn't my sister here too?"

"Xin'er naturally wants to seek a good marriage. Are you also here to seek marriage?" Ye Qianyang said sarcastically, "You do this because you are dissatisfied with your marriage with Prince Jin."

"Miss Ye just joked, the emperor's grace is so great, how can I be dissatisfied." Chu Ruoying smiled faintly, looked at the marriage tree, and said slowly: "Miss Ye has spoken about my marriage with Shizi Jin several times, but she is dissatisfied with the emperor's bestowal." Marriage, do you have any objections to the royal family?"

As soon as the words fell, Jun Moxi's complexion sank slightly, "This princess doesn't know that Miss Ye actually has objections to the marriage bestowed by the emperor!"

Ye Qianyang froze immediately, and hurriedly bent over to salute, "Qianyang dare not."

"Don't dare?" Jun Moxi sneered, "Miss Ye will still have objections in her heart!"

"Qianyang didn't." Ye Qianyang immediately changed his words and said respectfully.

"Princess! This branch is covered with red ribbons. If you come a little later, there may be no place for you." Chu Ruoying said suddenly, looked at the marriage tree, and said with a smile.

Only then did Jun Moxi look away, looking at the Marriage Tree, "Women always look forward to finding a good husband."

"Princess, the higher the red ribbon hung on the marriage tree, the more effective it will be." Seeing Jun Moxi standing under the tree branch ready to hang it, Chu Xiner immediately stepped forward and said courteously.

Jun Moxi paused, looked up, then slowly shook her head, "Thank you Miss Chu Er for your kindness, let's stay here."

"Princess." Chu Ruoying stepped forward, looked at the position on the top of the tree, and said with a faint smile, "Why don't I help the princess hang it up?"

"Mo Yan!" Chu Ruoying glanced at a corner not far away, and said softly.

"What's your order?" Mo Yan knelt in front of Chu Ruoying and asked respectfully.

After Mo Yan took the red ribbon and hung it on the top of the tree, he didn't leave directly as usual. Anyway, he still stood where he was, looking at Chu Ruoying with a strange expression.

Chu Ruoying frowned slightly, "What else?"

"Concubine Shizi, don't you hang one for you and Shizi?" Mo Yan lowered his head and asked in a deep voice.

Chu Ruoying took a deep look at Mo Yan, and said calmly, "No need, I don't think I will believe this in the future."

"Sister, help me too" Chu Xiner was talking behind her, she suddenly looked up and saw that Chu Ruoying had waved back Mo Yan and was about to leave, she couldn't help but clenched the ribbon in her hand, and gritted her teeth resentfully .

Chu Ruoying walked slowly down the winding path at the back of the mountain. Not long ago, when the maid beside Jun Moxi came to look for her, Jun Moxi took a step first. Chu Ruoying stopped, looked behind her and said: "Go back first, I want to walk alone."

Mo Yan stepped out and said in a deep voice, "In the name of the son, I will protect the concubine!"

There were faint ripples on Chu Ruoying's lips, and she said in a very soft voice: "Since you belong to him, you don't have to come here again in the future."

Mo Yan's body shook, and he stood quietly on the spot for a long time, remembering what the crown prince said when he was sent here, his master was no longer the crown prince, he lowered his head immediately, and said in a deep voice: "I would like to obey the crown prince's concubine!" In the name of this, this subordinate will retire."

Only then did Chu Ruoying smile lightly, and continued walking down the road. Occasionally, a few clear birdsongs could be heard from the forest beside her, adding to her sense of leisure.

"Why is Miss Chu here alone?" At a corner, Prince Qi Chen of Northern Liang and his attendants saw Chu Ruoying standing alone on the edge of the cliff, and asked curiously.

"My daughter has met the eldest prince." Chu Ruoying came to her senses when she heard the words, turned around and saluted lightly.

"Why isn't Miss Chu in the hall?" Qi Chen looked at the plain-clothed woman with a calm face in front of him, a thought flashed in his eyes.

"The courtier has never believed in Buddhism. The so-called sincerity leads to spirituality. Since the courtier doesn't believe in it, why bother to worship Buddha?" Chu Ruoying said lightly with a faint smile.

Chu Ruoying lowered her head slightly, the corners of her mouth were raised slightly, fine snowflakes were still floating in the sky, quietly falling on the woman's cloak, it was so beautiful that she couldn't be real, Qi Chen was taken aback, put her hand on her chest, and felt her chest With his heart beating faster, he looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes flickered suddenly, and an inexplicable feeling gradually emerged in his heart.

Suddenly there was a slight fluctuation in the air, Qi Chen looked up, and saw a short arrow glowing with silver light quickly heading towards Chu Ruoying in front of him, before Qi Chen had time to think, he grabbed Chu Ruoying's wrist, Holding her in his arms, he spun around to avoid the short arrow.

Chu Ruoying was slightly stunned, she gently stretched out her hand and pushed Qi Chen away, looked at the short arrow on the ground, and said indifferently: "Thank you, First Prince, for saving me!"

Just as Qi Chen was about to say something, more short arrows struck again not far away, and a man in black was also coming towards here quickly. Before he could think about it, Qi Chen hugged her once, while avoiding her. Shooting short arrows, he quickly swept towards the distance.

Chu Ruoying quietly stayed in his arms. In front of Qi Chen, she must not let him see that she knows martial arts, and then look coldly at the short arrow not far away.

Seeing this, the guards behind Qi Chen hurriedly drew out their long swords, and there was a sound of swords clashing behind them.

But after a while, the group of men in black had already caught up. Looking at the two who were still running ahead, a vicious glint flashed in their eyes, and they drew their arrows again and shot again.

There were three vibrations from different directions behind her. Chu Ruoying narrowed her eyes slightly, took out a few silver needles from her waist, and was about to shoot them, but Qi Chen turned her body sideways, "Pfft!" The short arrow hit hard. Touching Qi Chen's shoulder, blood splashed out, Chu Ruoying only felt a chill on her face, and couldn't help but froze.

In a blink of an eye, the two were pushed to the edge of the cliff. Qi Chen stood in front, protecting Chu Ruoying tightly behind her. A man in black was about to surround them from all sides, and Qi Chen, who was already injured, took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Prince, I'll count one, two, three, you jump down with me!"

Qi Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, and was about to say something when Chu Ruoying's voice suddenly dropped, "One, two, three!"

Chu Ruoying grabbed Qi Chen with one hand and jumped down the cliff.

The four men in black were startled, and ran to the edge of the cliff to look down. The sea of ​​clouds was vast and there was no one, so they nodded to each other and left the edge of the cliff.

"Prince, are you alright?" Chu Ruoying felt that the four of them had left, she lowered her head and said to Qi Chen below.

"It's okay, I just didn't expect Miss Chu to know martial arts." Qi Chen jokingly said from below.

Chu Ruoying tightly wrapped the white long silk around the branches of the cliff with her right hand, and smiled slightly when she heard the words, "This place is so high, if you fall, eldest prince, it will always be a secret."

Qi Chen was taken aback, thinking that his life was still in the hands of others, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Miss Chu, I saved you just now!"

"That's why I didn't throw you down." Chu Ruoying quickly glanced around and found a cave not far away, "Prince, have you seen a cave in the northwest? ?”

Qi Chen heard the words and looked over, nodded and said, "I see."

"Okay." Chu Ruoying tightly clenched the white silk, poured her internal energy into the palm of her left hand, and threw Qi Chen out viciously, and Qi Chen rolled into the cliff cave.

After seeing him go in, Chu Ruoying grabbed Chang Ling and swung in.

The cliff cave was very narrow, and after the two of them entered, there was not much room left. Chu Ruoying sat on the ground and took a breath before looking up at Qi Chen who was opposite.

Qi Chen glanced at her with a smile, "Miss Chu is very strong!"

Chu Ruoying glanced at him coldly, but Qi Chen still smiled and said: "It's a pity, you have already been promised, otherwise you can go back to Beiliang with me, it's much better to be a prince concubine than a prince concubine Bar."

Chu Ruoying glanced at him indifferently, "The eldest prince should be cautious."

"Anyway, we're trapped here, so am I. Cough cough." Qi Chen coughed suddenly, with bright red blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. Chu Ruoying remembered that he had just been injured by an arrow, and stepped forward to turn him around. Pressing his acupuncture point, he pulled out the short arrow neatly, and suddenly black blood flowed out from the wound on his shoulder.

Chu Ruoying's expression turned serious, she poured out a pill from the porcelain bottle at her waist, stuffed it into his mouth, and Qi Chen swallowed it with a wry smile, "Miss Chu, be gentle."

Chu Ruoying didn't look at him again, she cleaned it up with the potion around her, lowered her head, tore off a piece of cloth from her skirt, and bandaged the wound.

"Fortunately, the poison is not very strong." Chu Ruoying sat back after finishing her work, and said softly.

Qi Chen smiled when he heard the words, "If I die, I'm afraid Miss Chu will be uneasy in the future."

Chu Ruoying looked at Qi Chen, and said calmly: "My daughter hasn't blamed the First Prince for involving me, a weak woman, in this innocent disaster, but the First Prince is pretending to be innocent."

"I'm clearly doing this to save your injury." Qi Chen still said rascally.

"The eldest prince is talking nonsense because he sees me as a weak woman." Chu Ruoying raised her hand and picked up the short arrow on the ground. Totem, the royal family uses the goshawk as the totem, the front end of this short arrow is bent, and the goshawk is on the tail."

After Qi Chen listened quietly with downcast eyes, he burst into laughter, "Haha! Miss Chu is really smart!"

"However, it is true that you saved me." Chu Ruoying put down the short arrow in her hand and said calmly.

"Miss Chu is so smart, how do you know who is going to kill me?" Qi Chen looked at her firmly, and said with a smile.
