Divine Doctor's Daughter: The Imperial Concubine

Chapter 97: A Dance in an Alluring City

In the early morning of the second day, Mu Ziyuan and Chu Ruoying got into the carriage together, and drove towards Zheng Cheng, all the way peacefully.

After Chu Ruoying arrived in Zhengcheng, she took Mu Ziyuan directly back to the mansion where she lived before. The mansion had just been cleaned not long ago, just to wait for Chu Ruoying to come back.

Mu Ziyuan entered the room and put away the burden, looked around, and asked, "Where is your master?"

"Xuefeng Mountain." Chu Ruoying replied softly, "It's the mountain where you and I first met."

Mu Ziyuan nodded, and looked at Chu Ruoying with worry in his eyes. Chu Ruoying's lethargy these past few days was probably due to the use of internal force to speed up the spread of the toxin.

Chu Ruoying gave him a reassuring smile, pulled him out of the room, and said softly, "I'll show you the place where I've lived for 14 years."

"Okay." Mu Ziyuan has been with Chu Ruoying for the past few days, his complexion is not as gloomy as before, the bruises in his eyes have also dissipated, and he does not look as unapproachable as before.

Walking out of Chu Ruoying's yard, it was only a moment to see a deserted yard with a lonely swing hanging down there. It was full of pear trees. It was spring, and the whole yard was white, and the breeze After blowing, the white petals fell down profusely, which has a special sense of beauty.

Chu Ruoying walked slowly to the side of the swing, reached out and brushed the petals on the ground, and stood silent in the rain of flowers.

Seeing a trace of sadness in her eyes, Mu Ziyuan felt pain in his heart, stepped forward to hold her in his arms, and gently rubbed her head.

"My mother passed away here." Chu Ruoying withdrew from his arms, looked at the ruins not far away and said, "There was a big fire that night, and when I rushed in, my mother was already dead. It can't be done, and then my mother said the last few words to me in the courtyard."

"My mother likes pear blossoms very much. Whenever this time comes, my mother will dance for me. It is very beautiful. When I was young, I was not sensible. I often asked my mother why I didn't have a father. Every time my mother heard it, she was very sad. As time passed, I stopped asking. After I had a master, my father was no longer important to me. After I returned to Beijing, although I didn’t like Chu Lie, I still had a glimmer of hope in my heart. It’s a pity that Chu Lie He doesn't have a daughter like me at all in his heart." Chu Ruoying laughed suddenly as she spoke, and the desolation in her smile made Mu Ziyuan's heart ache.

"Chuchu, you still have me." Mu Ziyuan stepped forward to hug her, let her head rest on his chest, but his eyes were full of cruelty, hurting Chuchu's people, I would not hurt anyone Let it go!
The two snuggled together quietly, the floating pear blossoms fell on the two of them, and a faint warmth gradually permeated the two of them, intertwined into a net, enveloping the two of them.

After a while, Mu Ziyuan let go of Chu Ruoying. Chu Ruoying raised her eyes and carefully painted Mu Ziyuan's eyebrows from her heart, and said with a smile, "May I dance for you?"

Mu Ziyuan's dark eyes were full of tenderness and pampering, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, "Okay."

Chu Ruoying turned around and went back to the yard to change her clothes. When she came back, she was wearing a bright red dance dress. The bright color contrasted with her snow-like skin, making Chu Ruoying even more charming and charming. Can't help shaking God.

Chu Ruoying stepped forward and handed him a hole flute, and said with a light smile, "Please, Prince Jin, please accompany me."

Mu Ziyuan smiled dotingly, watching Chu Ruoying slowly walk to the front, the flute sounded, the water sleeves fluttered, and countless white petals fluttered gently between the sky and the earth, the red clothes danced lightly, with slender feet Point, flowers bloom at every step, and the clothes are fluttering, just like a fairy Lingbo.

Chu Ruoying always had a faint smile on her face, elegant and charming. Her long black hair was disheveled in the wind, stained with some flower petals. She looked back and smiled, which made Mu Ziyuan almost play the wrong tune, and the dance ended. , Chu Ruoying stood where she was, brushing the hair beside her ears with her hand, panting slightly.

Mu Ziyuan put down the flute slowly, walked to Chu Ruoying's side step by step, raised his hand to hold her tightly in his arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "Chuchu, don't leave me!"

"What silly things?" Chu Ruoying smiled lightly, raised her head from his embrace, her eyes sparkled, "My mother said that Ling Bo danced with only one person in her life." Before she finished speaking, Chu Ruoying Yingying stood on tiptoe and held Mu Ziyuan's cheek, and kissed Mu Ziyuan's thin lips lightly.

Mu Ziyuan turned against the guest, raised his hand through her black hair and put it on the back of her neck, rubbing gently on her lips, different from the previous affection, the light kiss was full of distress and pity, maybe the atmosphere was too ambiguous , Mu Ziyuan's kiss was too gentle, and Chu Ruoying also began to kiss him back jerky, noticing Chu Ruoying's initiative, Mu Ziyuan's body was shocked suddenly, looking at Chu Ruoying, who had blurred eyes in front of him, Mu Ziyuan's movements suddenly became rough, invading and plundering her mouth, gradually the kiss went down her neck, and Mu Ziyuan's big hand slipped into Chu Ruoying's clothes without knowing when. In the middle, when the fiery palm touched the smooth skin, Chu Ruoying woke up suddenly as if she had been electrocuted, and whispered: "Mu Ziyuan, don't."

Mu Ziyuan withdrew his hand, looked at Chu Ruoying tenderly, hugged Chu Ruoying carefully, suppressed his desire, and said in a hoarse voice, "Chuchu, in this life, I will never let you leave me !"

Chu Ruoying huddled in Mu Ziyuan's arms with a red face, felt his nervousness, felt a slight pain in her heart, her white hands tightly clutched Mu Ziyuan's clothes.

The two rested for a day, and after waking up, they headed towards Xuefeng Mountain.

The time of poisoning became longer and longer, Chu Ruoying would suddenly fall asleep from time to time, Mu Ziyuan carried Chu Ruoying on his back and climbed step by step towards the mountain range.

The chirping of various birds echoed in the spring forest. Chu Ruoying laid her head on his back with a faint smile on her lips. When she was halfway up the mountain, Chu Ruoying moved. Let Mu Ziyuan put her down.

"Where are you going?" Seeing that Chu Ruoying was going straight to the depths, Mu Ziyuan asked softly.

Chu Ruoying paused, turned around and took his hand, and said with a slight smile, "Go see my mother."

The two walked together for a long time before they saw a stone tablet deep in the forest. Chu Ruoying reached out and wiped the stone tablet lightly. The tomb of my beloved daughter, Chu Ruoying, stands."

Chu Ruoying stood at the same place and watched quietly for a while, then turned to look at Mu Ziyuan, then turned her eyes to the stone tablet again, and said softly, "Mother, he is Mu Ziyuan."

Mu Ziyuan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, stepped forward and hugged Chu Ruoying, the dark eyes on his cold face contained fiery emotions, and said in a deep voice, "I'm still Chu Chu's future husband."

Chu Ruoying leaned obediently in his arms, looked up at him slightly, and felt relieved in her heart, and said softly, "Let's go, Master should be in a hurry."

"En." Mu Ziyuan nodded, picked her up again, and continued to walk towards the top of the mountain. After a long time, Mu Ziyuan asked, "Is there someone here who often visits your mother?"

Chu Ruoying was taken aback, and said softly: "I thought you wouldn't ask, that person is my master."

Sensing the sadness in Chu Ruoying's tone, Mu Ziyuan paused, understood, and walked silently with her behind his back.

After a long time, the two arrived at the destination. The scene in front of them was very different from when they came here. There was a piece of emerald green bamboo planted in front of the bamboo, and behind the bamboo was a clear stream. There is a lake of spring water, and there is a simple bamboo house next to the spring water.

Probably hearing footsteps outside, Wei Hanxuan came out of the bamboo house, Chu Ruoying stepped forward quickly, and said softly, "Master."

Wei Hanxuan nodded, and put his eyes on Mu Ziyuan, his eyes flickered slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Are you the son of King Jin?"

Mu Ziyuan looked at Wei Hanxuan with his hands behind his back, the air pressure around him was condensed and felt oppressive, and he nodded very lightly.For a while, the two confronted each other, and their momentum was not lost.

A flash of appreciation flashed in Wei Hanxuan's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Not bad."

"Master, I." Before Chu Ruoying finished speaking, Wei Hanxuan raised his hand to make her stop. After leading the two into the house, Wei Hanxuan raised his hand to check the pulse seriously, and let go after a while , his face was quite heavy.

"What happened to Chuchu?" Mu Ziyuan asked anxiously with some uneasiness in his heart.

Wei Hanxuan looked at Chu Ruoying carefully, and said, "The poison on Yinger's body needs to be put into the cold pool, and I will make some medicine and soak it for two days and two nights to cure it, but Yinger has a cold feeling. And I can’t use my internal strength, I’m worried that Ying’er won’t be able to bear it.”

Mu Ziyuan's expression darkened instantly when he heard the words, and he said in a deep voice, "Is there any other way?"

Wei Hanxuan shook his head.

"Then how painful will this process be?" Chu Ruoying asked Mu Ziyuan with a comforting smile.

"The extremely cold air wraps the whole body and invades the blood vessels. The whole body will tremble continuously, and then suddenly heat up, as if trapped in magma, burning the body, and finally forcing the poison out of the body." Wei Hanxuan said in a deep voice.

"No!" Mu Ziyuan directly refused, his eyes were dark red, and a violent air lingered all over his body.

"There is another way." Wei Hanxuan paused, raised his eyes to take a deep look at Mu Ziyuan, and continued: "I found snow lotus to make medicine, and guided by internal force, it will soon detoxify, but the body will be damaged. In the future It's not easy to get pregnant!"

"Okay, that's it!" Mu Ziyuan didn't care about the child, as long as Chu Ruoying was doing well, he didn't care about anything.

"Wait! Master, how long can I last if I don't detoxify now?" Chu Ruoying stretched out her hand to hold Mu Ziyuan's cold hand at the moment, and asked softly.

"At most half a month." Wei Hanxuan said in a deep voice.

Chu Ruoying nodded, and smiled at Mu Ziyuan, "The army should have arrived in the middle of the capital. It's time for you to join them. I'll wait for you here."

As soon as Mu Ziyuan heard that Chu Ruoying wanted to get rid of him, his face suddenly became sullen, and his voice was terrifying, "Don't even think about it!"

"Mu Ziyuan, there is no snow lotus here, Master. I heard that Xiao Huang has a thousand-year-old snow lotus in his hand. Can you go and get it? I won't mess around, and I will wait for you here." Chu Ruoying knew that he Worried about something, promised softly.

Mu Ziyuan clenched his fists tightly, hugged Chu Ruoying tightly in front of Wei Hanxuan, and said in a deep voice, "I will keep Mo Yan and Mo Shang behind."

"Okay." Chu Ruoying nodded in response.

However, Mu Ziyuan received the news that the army going on an expedition would arrive in Beijing in three days. As the commander of the army, he had to rush back to join the army.

After Chu Ruoying was settled, Mu Ziyuan rushed back that afternoon. Chu Ruoying sat beside the stream informally, looking at the flowing water with clear eyes.

Wei Hanxuan walked steadily to Chu Ruoying's side, and said softly, "It's been a long time since I saw Yinger sitting like this."

"How has Master been in the past six months?" Chu Ruoying raised her eyes to Wei Hanxuan and asked with concern.

Wei Hanxuan nodded, "It's just that it's a little cleaner, and I just want to cook some food occasionally."

Chu Ruoying smiled lightly, and said softly: "Since Master likes it, Yinger will do it for Master later."

"Ying'er, as a teacher, I still say that, don't force yourself too much." Wei Hanxuan looked at her lovingly, and said suddenly.

Chu Ruoying was taken aback, and said lightly: "I always remember what Master said. Now that Ye Shi is dead, I will be fine."

Wei Hanxuan sighed lowly, and asked in a deep voice, "Ying'er, have you decided?"

Chu Ruoying nodded, Wei Hanxuan continued: "Aren't you afraid that he will blame you?"

"Master, don't worry." Chu Ruoying said seriously.

Two days after Mu Ziyuan left, Mo Yan and Mo Shang were called out by Chu Ruoying. Sitting on a chair, Chu Ruoying raised her hand to pour tea for the two of them, and said calmly, "Sit down."

"Subordinates dare not!" Mo Yan and Mo Shang were taken aback, and said hastily.

Chu Ruoying didn't force it, she lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "I've decided to go to the Cold Pool with Master to detoxify tomorrow."

"Concubine Shizi!" Mo Shang was startled, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, "My son won't agree, I hope Shizifei thinks twice!"

Chu Ruoying raised her eyes and glanced at Mo Yan who was still there, looked at Mo Shang and said, "Think twice."

Hearing this, Mo Shang gritted his teeth and said, "Then my subordinates will inform the prince."

"I pushed him away on purpose, do you think I will give you a chance to inform him?" Chu Ruoying glanced at Mo Shang with a half-smile, and said calmly.

Mo Shang's expression froze, and before he could speak, Chu Ruoying said softly, "Mo Yan, take him down!"

Mo Shang raised his head abruptly, and looked at Mo Yan in disbelief. Mo Yan had guilt in his eyes, but his hands were merciless, and he took the opportunity to hold him there.

Chu Ruoying stood up, walked slowly to Mo Shang's side, and asked Mo Yan to lift his chin. Chu Ruoying directly stuffed a pill into it, and said lightly, "I don't want to make it difficult for you, take it. This pill will wake up in about three days."

Mo Shang's expression became even uglier, and he struggled with his internal strength for a while, but finally couldn't resist the medicine, and fell into a deep sleep.

Chu Ruoying then looked at Mo Yan and said, "I'll leave him to you, take care of him."

"Yes." Mo Yan said in a deep voice.

Only then did Chu Ruoying walk out of the room slowly, and when she reached the cold pool, Wei Hanxuan had already prepared all the medicines to be used, one side of the cold pool was sprinkled with medicinal materials, and Wei Hanxuan was still boiling the medicine Juice, the smell of medicine permeates above a cold pool.

A mountain top of Xuefeng Mountain is covered with snow all the year round, and there is a cave on the top of the mountain. In the cave, there is a naturally formed cold pool in the severe cold, and the temperature is extremely low.

Half an hour later, Wei Hanxuan handed the boiled medicine to Chu Ruoying. Chu Ruoying took it and drank it, and then jumped into the cold pool. For a moment, the chill penetrated into the bone marrow, and Chu Ruoying's body couldn't help but feel slightly weak. trembling.

Wei Hanxuan sighed lowly, and said softly: "This is the beginning." Then he turned around and walked out, otherwise the more painful it would be, Wei Hanxuan was not sure if he would soften his heart.

Chu Ruoying hugged her body tightly and shrunk herself into a small ball. She felt that her internal organs were being eroded by the water in the cold pool, and wherever the cold water went, it condensed into ice, and her soul seemed to be sucked out. He came out, clenching his teeth tightly, his face pale with no blood.

Chu Ruoying was desperately suppressing the pain here, and Mu Ziyuan was also rushing towards Beijing.

This time Mu Ziyuan led an army of 25 to defeat Southern Chu again, and the people in Beijing all sought after him. Mu Ziyuan's voice among the people became louder and louder, Xiao Huang became more and more jealous, and the third prince Jun Yao felt jealous at the same time .

Mu Ziyuan's class teacher returns to the court, two days later the morning court
"Elder Prince Jin has returned from victory this time, I'm really happy to congratulate you!"

"Congratulations, Prince Jin!"

As soon as Mu Ziyuan stepped into the court hall, the surrounding officials rushed over and spoke compliments. Mu Ziyuan frowned impatiently, and said coldly, "Get lost!"

The faces of the surrounding officials froze, seeing the violent aura around Mu Ziyuan getting stronger and stronger, they left embarrassingly.

"Ziyuan, I am very happy that you defeated Nanchu." Sitting on the dragon chair, Xiao Huang looked at Mu Ziyuan with scrutiny in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "What reward do you want?"

Mu Ziyuan cupped his hands and said, "I have nothing to ask for."

Xiao Huang's eyes darkened slightly, and he said lightly: "If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, gold, silver and jewelry, official position and power, just tell me."

Mu Ziyuan's expression did not change, and he said in a deep voice: "My minister's marriage is coming soon, please also ask the emperor to give me one month's time, and I will not enter the court within one month!"

"Ziyuan, you love beauties and not country." Xiao Huang was silent for a while before opening his mouth.

Thinking of Chu Ruoying, Mu Ziyuan's eyes flashed tenderness very quickly, he raised his hand and took out the soldier talisman in his hand, "I have made up my mind, please the emperor to make it happen."

Xiao Huang's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't send anyone to pick up the soldier talisman in Mu Ziyuan's hand, he said in a deep voice: "How can the court be away from Ziyuan for a month?"

"Your Majesty governs diligently, is wise and mighty, keeps my country stable, and protects my people. In this court, only the Emperor is absolutely inseparable." As soon as Xiao Huang's words fell, one of Mu Ziyuan's ministers shouted. Stand up and speak decisively.

Xiao Huang glanced at that person indifferently, and continued: "I heard that Miss Chu Family is now living in Gu Mansion?"

"Back to the emperor, my daughter does live in the Gu residence." Chu Lie hurriedly stood up and said respectfully.

"Why?" Xiao Huang continued to ask.

"Back to the emperor, the old matriarch missed his granddaughter, so he stayed in the mansion. Now the niece of the minister is seriously ill, which delays the return to the mansion." Gu Yu stood up and said in a deep voice.

"Oh, since that's the case, I have granted Ziyuan's request." Xiao Huang narrowed his eyes slightly, no one could guess what he was thinking.

Prince Jin's Mansion seems to be in Changxing, but in fact it is extremely cold. Xiao Huang supports Chu Lie in order to compete with Prince Jin's Mansion. Therefore, Prince Jin's Mansion and Chu Mansion will never stand on the same line, even if it is Chu Ruoying Married to Mu Ziyuan, Chu Ruoying is nothing but a Gu family behind her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Mu Ziyuan said.

"Shizi Jin can really let go of the affairs of the court?" After the court, just as Mu Ziyuan was about to step out of the hall, the third prince Jun Yao quickly stepped forward.

Mu Ziyuan paused, glanced at Jun Yao with a dark look, and said coldly, "What does it have to do with you!"

Jun Yao's face darkened suddenly, seeing Mu Ziyuan leaving without any scruples, he couldn't help but clenched his hands, he was nothing more than a prince, and he didn't even take this prince seriously!
Jun Yao's eyes were full of jealousy, he stood with his hands behind his back, but he let go of it after a while, turned around and walked towards the backyard of the palace.
