Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 61 I am always by your side

Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something, and then asked Lu Xiaojun Wang, "What about you, didn't you say that you have something to ask me, what is it?"

When King Lu Xiaojun heard Chu Ci's question, embarrassment flashed across his fair and handsome face, he hesitated for a while, and then said, "It's Zhaohua...she got a cold last night, and now she's rolling all over the floor in pain, My mother invited the government doctor and prescribed a prescription, but it would take more than an hour just to decoct the medicine, Zhaohua couldn't wait, she was so painful that she passed out several times!"

After hearing what he said, Chu Ci's gaze deepened, and he said decisively, "Lu Yifeng, for your sake, I can help her this time, but if she doesn't repent in the future, you know my temper!"

King Lu Xiaojun's face relaxed, and he quickly nodded and promised, "Chu Xiaoci, I promise you that there will be no next time! From now on, I will definitely discipline this little sister well."

Chu Ci said "Yes", and walked back with him, while telling the young man beside him to be safe, "I will go to Mingxinyuan with your little county king, and you take a few guards to the west of the city with Yun Niang. Bring Xia's body back!"

"..." Ping An listened to her order, and did not immediately agree, but looked at King Lu Xiaojun.

Seeing this, King Lu Xiaojun gave Pingan a hard look, "Didn't you hear what the concubine said? From now on, what the concubine says will be the words of the young master!"

"Yes, yes, the slave will save it!" Ping An flattered his face. Then, he slapped the two of them, and took Yun Niang to the outer courtyard.Along the way, each mouthful of "Sister Yunniang" was very affectionate.

As for Chu Ci and Lu Xiaojun Wang, they rushed to Mingxinyuan at the fastest speed.

After arriving at Mingxin Courtyard, as soon as the two of them entered the bedroom, they heard Lu Zhaohua sobbing and breaking in pain behind the screen.

"I have seen the little princess, I have seen Miss Chu!" Ziying, Lu Zhaohua's personal maid, was the first to notice the arrival of the two of them, her eyes sparkled, and she hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Princess Nanjun behind the screen heard the voice, immediately let go of Lu Zhaohua's hand, got up, walked around the screen with tears in her eyes, walked to Chu Ci's side, looked at her with tears, and called out "A Ci!"

Knowing what Nanjun Wangfei wanted to say, Chu Ci nodded, took the medicine box from Lu Xiaojun Wang, and walked towards Lu Zhaohua.

When she got to the bed, she looked up, and saw that the woman on the bed was pale from the pain, her eyes were scarlet, and her face was covered with bean-sized sweat... She bowed like a shrimp, biting the quilt tightly in her mouth. horn.

It could be seen that she tried her best to bear it, but even so, some fragmented voices still escaped from her pale lips.

"Zhaohua...she always had severe pain on the first day of her childhood, but she has never been like this..." Princess Nanjun stood next to Chu Ci at some point, explaining with a strong nasal voice.

Chu Ci gave a faint "um" and understood instantly.

Then, she opened the medicine box she carried with her, took out a red bottle from it, handed it to Princess Nanjun, and said, "This is a pain-relieving pill, you can feed her first. When she calms down, I will help her." After her acupuncture, this time it's over!"

When Princess Nanjun heard that Chuci had the medicine, she immediately took it with grateful eyes, then sat carefully beside Lu Zhaohua's bed, and fed it to her.

The medicine bowl melts in the mouth.

After Lu Zhaohua took it off, the situation really got better.

Chu Ci saw that she could finally lie flat.Looking sideways at Ziying, who was standing on the sidelines with a worried face, "Help me take off all the clothes on your lady, leaving only the small clothes!"

"Yes, Miss Chu!" Ziying agreed, and immediately stepped forward. With the help of Princess Nanjun, she carefully lifted Lu Zhaohua up and took off all the clothes that were almost wet from her body.

Chu Ci watched her finish all this, took out the needle bag in the sleeve, opened it, and walked towards Lu Zhaohua.

Seeing Chu Ci sitting down beside her bed with a calm face, Lu Zhaohua pursed his pale lips with difficulty, tears glistened in his eyes, and said sincerely, "Sister Chu, I'm really sorry about what happened last night...it's all because of my obsession, yes I was fooled by lard, and actually did such a thing that was inferior to a beast, which almost harmed you and your flesh and blood...Sister Chu, I know I was wrong, I really know..."

"Don't talk!" Chu Ci didn't comment on her apology.

She only focused on the silver needles in her hand, and then pierced her body smoothly one by one.

Seeing her so cold and cold, Lu Zhaohua felt sour in his heart, and hot tears flowed from the corners of his eyes little by little, but he never expressed his apology.

It took Chu Ci less than half an hour to finish the acupuncture.

After removing the needles, covered Lu Zhaohua with the silk quilt.

She frowned slightly and looked at Princess Nanjun, "I can only guarantee that she will not be in pain for this month... To cure her chronic disease, I need to drink medicine for a period of time, and then use acupuncture and moxibustion. Nurturing."

"Then... what do you mean?" Princess Nanjun asked a little anxiously and apologetically.

Chu Ci blinked, put the needle pack into his sleeve, and said, "1 taels for decoction and 1 taels for acupuncture."

After hearing what she said, Princess Nanjun's eyes lit up first, and then slowly dimmed after a while.

This is, she completely regards Zhaohua as an outsider!
That's why the price is clearly marked.

Chu Ci could clearly see the expression of Nanjun Wangfei, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he said lightly, "How about the princess of the county?"

Nanjun Wangfei sighed, "Whatever you say, Ah Ci, is what it is!"

Chu Ci nodded, turned around and was about to leave.

Before she turned the screen, Princess Nanjun added solemnly, "I will help you find out about Banxia!"

Chu Ci didn't look back, nor did he respond.She walked around the screen, walked towards King Lu Xiaojun, handed the medical box to him, and said, "Your sister is already well. Do you want to stay and watch her, or follow me to the west of the city?"

King Lu Xiaojun smiled, "Zhaohua has it here, the concubine mother is watching, the young master will not be of much help if he stays, so let's go with you!"

Chu Ci nodded.

The two walked out together.

On the carriage to the west of the city.

Thinking of the entanglement between Erfang and Banxia, ​​Chu Ci frowned tightly and did not let go for a long time.

Seeing her like this, Duke Lu Xiaojun looked a little dignified.

"Lu Yifeng..."

I don't know how much time has passed, but suddenly, as if thinking of something, Chu Ci raised his head to look at King Lu Xiaojun, and said, "Do you know much about your second uncle's room?"

Hearing her question, King Lu Xiaojun raised his eyes with a rare deep expression.He sat up straight, looked at her for a long time, and then said, "It can be regarded as...a little understanding."

"What kind of temperament are the people in the second room? Especially the second master, the second young master, and the second wife."

King Lu Xiaojun frowned unknowingly, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "Second Aunt, she is a person who can't rub the sand in her eyes, and she has a violent temper, like a firecracker. Every move usually hurts the enemy by [-] and hurts oneself by [-]."

"Well, what about the second master and the second young master?"

"Second Uncle...he is very honest and honest on the surface..." King Lu Xiaojun only said this and stopped.

Chu Ci heard the important point in his words, "On the surface?"

King Lu Xiaojun looked at her, and suddenly heaved a long sigh again, with a look of helplessness flashing across his face, he simply said, "Chu Xiaoci, let me tell you this, my grandfather, the king of Nanlaojun, He had three sons, but only two were biological, and the other was the posthumous son of my grandmother and a previous grandfather."

King Lu Xiaojun's words contained a lot of information.

Chu Ci froze for a long time before he realized, "So, the king of Nanjun—that is, your father, is not the biological son of the old county king at all, but the second and third masters?"

King Lu Xiaojun nodded, "Second Uncle also knows about this."

"..." Chu Ci pursed her cherry red lips tightly.

She sorted out the "truth" that Prince Lu Xiaojun told her, and her expression kept changing, from the old county king to Nanjun king and the second master, to Lu Xiaojun king, the child in her womb, and Meng Jing...

Little by little clues are slowly connected into the truth.

——Erfang came up with these things, most likely because he wanted to plot the title of Nanjun Wangfu.

As for the second lady, if she guessed correctly, she should be just cannon fodder.

It is the second master who is really reaping the benefits behind the scenes.

Opposite her, King Lu Xiaojun could clearly see the change of expression on her face, he sighed deeply, and said in his heart - after all, the Nanjun Prince's Mansion has come to this step.

After that, nothing was said all the way.

An hour and a half later, the carriage stopped at the bottom of the gentle slope under the mass grave in the west of the city.

King Lu Xiaojun's eyes were a little complicated. After taking a deep look at her, he got up and helped her walk out of the carriage.

Because it had just rained outside the city, they easily found a few footprints on the long slope ahead.One row is new, one row is old.

Obviously, the new row was just passed by Yunniang and Pingan, and the old row was stepped out by the servant who dumped the corpse from the second room last night.

"This way!" Chu Ci pointed to the direction Yunniang and the others walked, and said to King Lu Xiaojun.

King Lu Xiaojun's face was a little heavy, he responded with a muffled voice, and helped her to walk forward.

Chu Ci noticed something was wrong with Lu Xiaojun King, she walked forward, glanced sideways at him, and asked in a low voice, "Are you... afraid that the old lady will be sad when the truth is revealed?"

King Lu Xiaojun looked back at Chuci, nodded, paused, and said, "Zhaohua and I both grew up beside my grandmother... But if there is any way, I don't want to see my grandmother sad."

Chuci said "hmm", "So after all these years, you allowed yourself to grow into the number one dude in the south of the Yangtze River, so that your second uncle can rest assured?"

King Lu Xiaojun didn't speak, he pursed his lips tightly, feeling lonely all over his body, "Grandmother has been in poor health, I've been thinking, after a hundred years from grandma, I will return the title to my second uncle, but I didn't Thinking that Second Uncle would be so impatient... Grandmother is still alive, so he couldn't hold back anymore."

"Maybe it's because of my accident."

King Lu Xiaojun lowered his eyebrows and did not answer.

Chu Ci continued, "My arrival has changed the old lady's lifespan, and brought the help of the regent king in the capital... If the second room wants the title, it must be done in advance. Otherwise, wait for us to get married, wait for my belly The child in the middle is born...it is completely late..."

King Lu Xiaojun lowered his brows and eyes even more when he heard Chu Ci's words.

At this moment, he is so powerless.

He has no way to win Chu Ci's heart, no way to stop the second room's ambition, and no way to let his grandmother live happily and peacefully in the remaining days of her life.

Chu Ci noticed the desperation and helplessness emanating from him from the inside out.

She couldn't help but reached out and took his broad hand.Squeezing gently, comfortingly said, "No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

Hearing this, King Lu Xiaojun's eyes lightened slightly, and he turned his head to look at her, "...Really? You really won't leave me?"

Hearing his rhetorical question, Chu Ci smiled stiffly, and then said with some reservations, "If I'm by your side, I won't leave."

Although King Lu Xiaojun is a dude, he is not stupid. Hearing what she said, he saw through her mind at once, snorted coldly, and said, "Chu Xiaoci, is it easy to deceive you when you really treat me as a young master? Even comforting young master, They all have stiff smirks, do you think the young master is rare? Without you, the young master has held back and endured for so many years to come here!"

After finishing speaking, he angrily ignored Chu Ci and walked straight forward.

Chu Ci was thrown by him, the smile on his face slowly faded, and in the end there was only embarrassment left.

……

The two walked for a quarter of an hour before catching up with Yunniang and her party who came up first.

Seeing Chu Ci chasing him from a distance, Yun Niang immediately turned around and ran towards her.

"How is it? Did you find Banxia's body?" Chu Ci grabbed Yunniang's next door and asked anxiously,

Yun Niang shook her head, "No, we've been looking for it for over an hour, but no matter what, we just can't find it."

"Can't find it?" Hearing what she said, Chu Ci frowned slightly. Could it be that they buried Ban Xia's body on the spot?Or dismembered?

Thinking of this, her brows suddenly darkened.

After a long time, he looked at Yunniang again, and was about to ask her if she had anything from Banxia.

But before he could speak, Ping An yelled loudly, "We found it! We found Miss Banxia's body!"

Chu Ci was shocked, and immediately walked towards the direction of peace.

King Lu Xiaojun and Yun Niang hurriedly followed.

When they approached, Ping An and several guards had already dug Ban Xia's body out of a shallow pit.

Those people in the second room had a ghost in their hearts, so they buried the body on the spot.

But they didn't expect that it rained all night last night, they didn't bury them deep enough, and the soil under Ban Xia's feet was washed away.

In order to verify his conjecture, Chu Ci walked directly towards Ban Xia's body.

King Lu Xiaojun looked at the mud and blood stains on Banxia's body, quickly grabbed her, frowned and said, "It's a corpse that was buried overnight, if you touch it with your hands like this, if it gets on something, I'm afraid Hurt the child in the womb."

Hearing what he said, Chu Ci subconsciously withdrew his hand.After contemplating for a moment, he turned to Ping An and said, "Go to the car and get my medicine box."

Ping An had already been reprimanded by King Lu Xiaojun, now that he had listened to Chu Ci's order, he no longer looked at King Lu Xiaojun's face, and slapped him a thousand times before turning around and running downstairs.

After about three or four quarters of an hour, he ran back panting.

Send the medicine box to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci put the medicine box on the ground, opened it, and took out a pair of lambskin long-sleeved gloves from it.

Then he walked towards Pinellia.

After squatting down in front of Ban Xia, she thought she remembered something, and then turned around and told King Lu Xiaojun, "You can just stay with Yunniang, and take the others away. It's inconvenient for you to stay."

King Lu Xiaojun understood that Chu Ci was going to do an autopsy.

Nodding his head, he walked under the tree on the other side with Ping An and the guards.

Yun Niang held the medicine box and stood by Chu Ci's side.

Next, Chu Ci spent half an hour examining Ban Xia's body.

The final result was indeed similar to what she had guessed.

Ban Xia has lost her body, and there are many abuse injuries in the most secret place of her body.

And just had a miscarriage.

As for the cause of death——it was lying flat, pierced through the abdomen with a barbed stick, and died of excessive blood loss...

Chu Ci closed his eyes, as long as he thought of that scene, he felt extremely bloody.

She couldn't help shaking slightly.

Seeing this, Yunniang hurriedly put down the medicine box to help her, "Miss, are you alright?"

Chu Ci took off his gloves, and relying on her support, he slowly stood up from the ground.

There was anger and resentment in her eyes, and she slowed down for a while before she opened her mouth, trembling, gritted her teeth and said, "Go...call the little county king and the others to bring Banxia's body back to the city."

She didn't say to go back to the county palace.Because we have to consider the mood of the old lady.

We can't take the old lady's life because of the bastards in Erfang.

In this way, not to mention whether it will ruin the blessing of the child in her womb, it is in her own heart that she will not be able to get through this life...

"Chu Xiaoci, are you alright?" Lu Xiaojun Wang hurried over, seeing Chu Ci's pale face, he asked nervously.

"..." Chu Ci didn't speak, but shook his head silently.Dun Dun, looking at his side face again, said blushingly, "I'm a bit heavy now, I'm afraid I can't support it to the carriage, can you help me there?"

When King Lu Xiaojun heard that Chu Ci had no strength, he didn't hesitate, he bent over and hugged her horizontally, and strode forward.

Chu Ci didn't expect him to embrace him without saying a word, so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands for a while.

In the end, King Lu Xiaojun glanced at her haughtily, and said triumphantly, "Chu Xiaoci, won't you hug my young master's neck?"

Chu Ci's cheeks became even redder, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No! Yes!"

King Lu Xiaojun snorted softly, "You are so thin-skinned, you blush at just a word, I really don't know how you conceived this child!"

Chu Ci: "..."

Isn’t the depth of this topic a bit [-] forbidden? !

King Lu Xiaojun didn't care about her embarrassment, and said with a little emotion, "I don't know when you will be able to give birth to a big fat boy for my young master!"

Chu Ci clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Lu Yifeng, if you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll knock out all your teeth one by one!"

King Lu Xiaojun curled his lips, "Believe it! How can you not believe it! I have never seen a woman who is more ruthless than you!"

Chu Ci raised his hand, patted his face vigorously, and said threateningly, "You just know! If you dare to be unruly to me, I have a hundred ways to make you survive or die!"

……

The two just bickered like this.

Until I got on the carriage.

Chu Cicai looked at King Lu Xiaojun solemnly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Lu Yifeng, I know you want to make me happy...but, you are unhappy, who will come to make you happy again?"

"Young Master, what's your displeasure!" King Lu Xiaojun waved his jade fan again, with the corners of his mouth curled up, his face full of indifference, after a pause, he closed his fan again, looked at her, and said seriously, "If you say yes The second uncle's class has a bad heart, the young master will just drive their family out of the county prince's mansion!"

Chu Ci: "..." Can't this guy be a little more serious?

"To be honest, if you don't want to make the old lady sad, I can promise you to settle the matter of the second room privately." After a while, she looked into her eyes and said again.

Now, King Lu Xiaojun was stunned, he looked at her fixedly, "Chu Xiaoci, what... are you talking about?"

Chu Ci had no choice but to repeat what he said just now, "I said, if you really don't want to make the old lady sad, then I can settle the score with the second master in private!"

"Chu Xiaoci, you... are you really willing to swallow your anger for me?"

After listening to his question, Chu Ci was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "It's not all for you. I know the old lady's body better than you. If she knows that the second master is willing to commit fratricide for the sake of title, She might..."

She didn't say anything after that.

But King Lu Xiaojun understands better than anyone else.

The old lady suffers from diabetes and can't stand stimulation most.

If she was allowed to find out about the dirty things in the second room, maybe the old lady would not be able to hold on before those people in the second room paid the price...

At that time, he and Chu Ci will be charged with disobeying and angering the old lady.

Thinking in this way, he nodded heavily at Chu Ci, "For the sake of grandma, I can only do this!"

Chu Ci let out a "hmm", paused, and said again, "With your ability, is there a way to take the second master out of the county palace now?"

Prince Lu Xiaojun was silent for a moment, he raised his head and said, "Before my grandfather left, he gave me a secret guard of the Prince's Mansion. If they are dispatched, they should be able to take Second Uncle out of the Prince's Mansion quietly."

Hearing what he said, Chu Ci smiled at him with his eyebrows bent, and said, "The old king of the county is really kind to you!"

King Lu Xiaojun nodded, "Grandfather... what he loves the most is me, the eldest grandson of the house... Even though I am not his own grandson, he still passed on all his most important things to me. My kindness, even if I will be a cow or a horse in the next life, I will not be able to repay it."

Chu Ci nodded, "From now on... you will show the greatest filial piety to the old prince by making the Nanjun Prince's Mansion a success!"

King Lu Xiaojun nodded, "Well, I will! I will definitely work hard, not to let you down, nor to let grandfather down!"

……

An hour and a half later, the carriage entered the city.

Because of Pinellia's body, King Lu Xiaojun and Chu Ci did not go directly back to the Prince's Mansion, but asked the coachman to drive the carriage to a Zhuangzi in the east of the city.

Zhuangzi was given by the old county king to Lu Xiaojun king.

It was also the favorite Zhuangzi of the old county king during his lifetime.
