Chapter 43
"I heard from Ah Mo that the prince didn't see clearly when he was walking last night. He fell and sprained his ankle, but the problem is not serious. He is resting in the house now. But didn't the prince rest in the lady's room last night? He How could you twist your foot again?"

A-Lian couldn't understand this matter. Could it be that Chu Yun left because of something else last night?
When Zhao Ying'er thought of the scene where Chu Yun was injured and carried her back to the house yesterday, she felt full of guilt, and besides the guilt, there was also a touch of emotion.

She clearly remembered that when he carried her back to the house, he cried out several times due to the pain caused by walking with his injured foot, and the sound of taking a deep breath after grinning, his breath hitting her face , it seemed that even breathing was painful, and it hit her face, making her skin feel as if it felt, and her skin seemed to ache.

Never before has a man been so kind to her, which made her heart, which had been lonely for many years, begin to have vitality.

"may be."

Zhao Yinger said casually.

In order to express her apology, she decided to make soup herself and give it to Chu Yun.

She did what she said, stood up immediately, and walked towards the kitchen.

"Miss, what are you doing?"

Alian asked.

"Go to the kitchen, the prince is injured, I want to make some soup for him."

"Then I'll go and help Miss."

The two walked out of the house, and soon came to the kitchen. After a while of busy work, the pork rib soup was ready.

Zhao Ying'er carried the soup and walked towards Chu Yun's room. When she came to him, he was lying on the bed and taking a nap.

She walked over and saw that he was sleeping peacefully, so she couldn't bear to wake him up.

It was Ah Mo who said: "Princess, if the prince knows that you came to see him, he will be very happy."

He didn't know what happened last night, so he came to ask A-Lian early this morning, but A-Lian was also very confused and didn't know what happened last night.

However, he knew that Chu Yun's martial arts were very good, and it was impossible for him to fall and twist his foot while walking. There must be something hidden in it. As for what it was, Chu Yun refused to say, and he didn't dare to delve into it.

Chu Yun opened his eyes when he heard the voice. When he saw that the person in front of him was Zhao Ying'er, his eyes were filled with surprise.

"Princess, you are here."

There was no trace of resentment in the faint voice. It seemed that he didn't know that what happened last night was directed and acted by Zhao Ying'er.

"I heard that the prince was injured, so I made ribs soup specially for you. You can taste it or not."

Zhao Ying'er did something wrong, and her attitude became more attentive, as if she wanted to make up for the shame in her heart.

Chu Yun sat up from the bed: "It's nothing serious, just rest for two days and you'll be fine, but you, princess, need to take care of your body."

"My lord, I am in good health."

Chu Yun looked at Zhao Yinger's sweet smile, and he sighed in his heart, silly boy, he still doesn't know how serious his illness is.

He took the soup and took a sip. It was delicious, and the mouthful of the soup was full of fragrance.

He lowered his eyes, and his eyelids covered the darkness in his eyes. He was hesitating how to tell her that she was very ill. If he hadn't been there last night, she might have jumped off the building in a daze.

After the rest is over, you must watch her carefully, lest she sleepwalk again and do stupid things.

"The concubine's cooking skills are really good, almost comparable to the royal chefs in the palace."

"Thank you for your compliment, my lord. Just drink it if you like it. I'll make it for you every day."

This small mouth was as sweet as honey, which made the corners of Chu Yun's mouth smile again. He loved to hear these words.

They were talking, only to see a subordinate walk in, looking at the people standing in the house, hesitating to speak.

"My lord, you sent me to investigate, and I found some clues."

"What clue?"

"Yes……"

He looked at Zhao Yinger again.

Knowing his concerns, Chu Yun said, "Just talk."

"It's like this. I found a kind of tattoo on the arms of those assassins. According to the investigation, these tattoos came from a certain gang in the south, so investigating those gangs must be able to find something useful. But I heard that the gang It’s very mysterious, and the people behind it are very powerful.”

"Check, no matter who is behind it, we must find out."

Chu Yun accentuated his tone.

After Zhao Ying'er heard this, she thought about it for a while, and realized that this gang mainly took on assassination jobs to make money.

The higher the status of the people who let Mie die, the more money they want, and the person behind this gang is Chu Huaiyuan.

Chu Huaiyuan usually did not issue orders to them, but instead asked his subordinates to contact them. Even the assassination of Chu Yun this time was an order conveyed by his subordinates.

He doesn't go there easily to meet people from the gang. He goes there once in a while and wears a mask. No one has seen his real face, which is why he looks mysterious.

I didn't expect him to make a move so quickly this time. It seems that the plot is a little different from what was written in the book.

Zhao Yinger blinked her sharp eyes, even if she knew the truth, she couldn't tell it.

Seeing that Chu Yun had finished drinking the soup, she took the empty bowl and prepared to find an excuse to escape.

"My lord, please be busy, I won't bother you."

"My king is not busy."

Chu Yun still wanted to see his little wife, but Zhao Ying'er didn't give him a chance to speak at all. After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away quickly, leaving Chu Yun very depressed.

"Amo, do you think the princess is very different?"

"My lord likes her, he must think she is different."

"You mean, you have other thoughts about her?"

"The subordinates dare not, the princess is indeed extraordinary."

"That's right."

……

Zhao Yinger is going to go out to play again, this time she is going to visit her sister who lost her memory, and secretly send her some money to make her life not so difficult.

She didn't bring A-Lian out this time, lest she show any flaws.

When she walked out of the mansion, her admirers were still putting up banners at the door, calling her name, and she felt very noisy when she heard it, so she left in a hurry.

When I came to the place where I met Zhao Rongrong last time, I turned around, but couldn't find Zhao Rongrong.

Zhao Ying'er suddenly remembered that when she followed them yesterday, she heard Zhao Rongrong say that she came to the city to sell vegetables, which meant that she was probably setting up a stall on another street where there were many vegetable sellers.

Thinking of this, she walked towards the street.

In order to prevent Zhao Rongrong from seeing her face, she specially bought a veil to cover her face.

Zhao Yinger came to the street selling vegetables, fresh vegetables were lined up on both sides of the street, the vegetables were very fresh, and dewdrops were still hanging on the leaves of the vegetables.

She started looking for it from the street, and finally found Zhao Rongrong in an inconspicuous corner at the end of the street.A beautiful woman with an extraordinary temperament, among a group of aunts and uncles, she looks so different, like a flower standing alone in a grass.

Zhao Yinger walked over and looked at the vegetables Zhao Rongrong sold. There were bamboo shoots, mushrooms and fungus, which should be picked from the mountains.

She knelt down, pretending to be picking vegetables, and asked as she picked, "How do you sell these mushrooms? Are they fresh?"

"My mushrooms were all picked yesterday afternoon on the mountain. They are very fresh. If you buy them, just watch and give me some, so that I can buy some buns to fill my stomach."

Zhao Ying'er smiled, how could her elder sister make money by doing business like this.

"How much money can I give?"

"Yes."

Zhao Rongrong smiled sweetly, but because of such a bright smile, people felt that she had no intentions and was innocent.

"Okay, then I'll buy all the vegetables."

A kind aunt next to her heard that she was afraid that Zhao Rongrong would suffer a loss, so she kindly reminded her: "Girl, you should set a price, otherwise you will lose money so easily."

The aunt stared at Zhao Yinger, always feeling that she was going to cheat Zhao Rongrong.

She has seen this kind of customers a lot, they are stingy, tricky and like to take advantage.

"No, I believe the girl is a good person."

Seeing her confident appearance, Zhao Yinger asked, "How do you know that I will definitely pay you more?"

"I don't want to ask for more money from you, but I feel very kind when I look at you, and I think you won't cheat me. Even if you take away all the food and don't give me a copper coin, I am willing."

Zhao Ying'er has gained a lot of knowledge, and thought that she deserves to be the heroine, she deserves to have the halo of the protagonist, she can even speak with such confidence, she is not afraid of compensation and can't even afford buns.

But she still smiled and said, "You're wrong, some people can't see her thoughts clearly from their faces."

At this time, Zhao Rongrong was loading dishes, and she was taken aback when she heard this, and then said confidently: "You can say such a thing, which means you are also a good person."

"Are you really not afraid that I will run away with your food?"

Zhao Yinger asked this on purpose.

When Zhao Rongrong was still answering that she believed her, the aunt beside her was anxious. According to her experience in setting up a stall and selling vegetables for more than ten years, generally people who say such things are hard-headed iron cocks.

She couldn't help but persuaded again: "Girl, you should give her a clear price, otherwise she will take your food away and only give you a copper coin, and you will lose a lot."

Zhao Rongrong just comforted the aunt gently: "It's okay, if she only gives one copper coin, it means that my food is worth one copper coin. I have already promised to sell it to her, so how can I go back on my word."

Seeing that Zhao Rongrong couldn't be persuaded, the aunt asked the people around her to help her.

In this way, everyone regarded Zhao Yinger as someone who was unwilling to pay for groceries, and some people said to her unceremoniously: "Girl, I advise you to be kind and don't bully honest people."

Zhao Ying'er was also speechless, she just wanted to buy more vegetables and give Zhao Rongrong some more money, which can be regarded as making up for some mistakes made by the original owner. Why do the people around think that she is the kind of person who doesn't want to pay but wants to get food.

She knew that the more she explained, the more she couldn't explain clearly, so she simply remained silent.

It wasn't until Zhao Rongrong packed the dishes and handed them to her that she took out a large ingot of silver from her purse and handed it to Zhao Rongrong.

"keep the change."

After throwing down these words, she left with the dishes, and the crowd talked about which lady she was, who made such a big deal, and they all misunderstood her just now.Thought she wouldn't pay.

Zhao Ying'er was carrying the vegetables, thinking that there was no shortage of these dishes in the palace, and she would have to walk a long way back home, tired.

She put the vegetables on the ground and rested for a while. When she was worried about where to send the vegetables, two children walked past her laughing and looking at them thoughtfully.

"Children, I'm a little familiar. Did it say in the book that Zhao Rongrong had a house in the city, and in that house, she rescued the victims who came into the city from other places. If I remember correctly, there were more than a dozen children among those people. "

Zhao Ying'er looked at the vegetables on the ground and thought it would be better to give the vegetables to the victims.

Since Zhao Rongrong's accident, I haven't visited them again. I don't know how they are doing now, so I should make up for the mistakes made by the original owner.

Zhao Ying'er only knew that the house was in the sixth alley, but she didn't know which house was in the alley.

But the people living in that house were the victims who fled from the disaster, so there must be a lot of people.

Crowds are a clue.

There was a place to deliver the food, so Zhao Ying'er carried the food and walked away. At this moment, she felt full of strength, and even the sun was shining brightly, just like her smiling face.

It's not enough to have talents, you have to buy some meat to take with you, you can't let them only eat vegetables.

Zhao Ying'er came to a place that sold pork, asked for a few catties of meat, and asked the boss to wrap the meat. She carried the vegetables and meat and walked towards the sixth alley.

After walking for a long time, the arms that carried her were tired and aching. When she couldn't bear it and wanted to sit down and rest, she found that the sixth alley was in front of her.

She walked over to each house and knocked on the door to ask, and finally found the place where the victims lived in the innermost alley.

After carrying heavy things and walking a long way, Zhao Ying'er was exhausted, she put the vegetables on the stone pier at the door, and shouted at the top of her voice.

"Is there anyone?"

As soon as the voice fell, a few people came out of the house and asked her what was the matter, and she explained her purpose.

"Zhao Rongrong is my elder sister. Something happened to her more than a month ago and she couldn't come to see you. She specially asked me to come and see you. No, I bought vegetables and meat for you."

When the victims heard that something happened to Zhao Rongrong, they asked eagerly, "What happened to Ms. Zhao?"

"It's not a big deal, just rest and rest."

"She has been resting for more than a month, and she still hasn't recovered."

"This disease is more difficult to treat. It is a chronic disease. There is nothing serious about it. It just makes people feel a little lazy, lying in bed every day and not wanting to get up."

A few people look at me and I look at you, but they don't know what kind of disease it is.

"Then let's go and see her. She saved us and gave us a place to live. We are very grateful to her. Now that she is sick, we don't know. Now that we know, we must go and see her."

"No, she's not in the city. She went out to see a doctor. There is a miracle doctor with good medical skills, but he's not here, so my sister went to find her."

Only then did a few people understand: "Oh, so that's the case, no wonder we haven't seen her these days."

While talking, several children ran out from the inner courtyard. Some of them were pale and skinny, and some were weak. These were the victims Zhao Rongrong picked up, and their parents were already dead.

Thinking of the plague in Zongcheng, many people died, only a few people fled to the capital and got into the city.

"Hurry up and accept it, I will deliver food to you in the future."

One of the victims said: "Thank you, girl, now a few of us go out to find some jobs every day, and we can earn some money to fill our stomachs, but there are too many children in the courtyard, and we earn very little, and Xiaohua is also I got sick and spent some money on seeing a doctor.”

Zhao Ying'er knew what it meant, they had no one to rely on in the city, and they were old, weak, sick, and disabled, so life was very difficult.

"Here is some silver, take the flowers."
