Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 92 Cunning
As Chu Ci expected, Qingsi Qinggong was excellent, and he returned in less than an hour.

He was the only one who didn't see the hidden guard on Lu Xiaojun King's body.

Chu Ci went up to meet him, and asked solemnly, "Did you find someone?"

Qingsi cupped his hands and nodded solemnly, "Returning to the master, Miss Lu is imprisoned in the dark room behind the Kunning Palace. The torture racks in the dark room are all made of black iron, and the internal force of the sword can't be used. Please forgive me." Subordinates cannot bring people back directly."

Hearing what he said, Chu Ci's face instantly became extremely cold.

The words that came out of the mouth seemed to have been quenched by ice, "Sure enough, it was the nephew and aunt of the Ren family who did it."

Qingsi said nothing more.

At this time, King Lu Xiaojun also came to Chu Ci's side. He had a gloomy face, as if a storm was coming, and he was about to walk out.

Seeing that he was so aggressive, Chu Ci quickly stretched out his hand to hold him, "Sir, what are you going to do?"

King Lu Xiaojun turned his head, took a deep look at Chu Ci, and said, "My lady, I'm sorry. Zhaohua is my only younger sister, and I have to save her!"

"I didn't say I wouldn't save her!" Chu Ci held his wrist tightly and squeezed his arm even tighter, "I just think that we should discuss a perfect plan, otherwise, if the eldest miss is not saved, you What if you get stuck again? Are you going to drive your mother crazy?"

"I..." Lu Xiaojun looked at Chu Ci's solemn face, and was at a loss for words for a moment.

The two are at a stalemate.

Suddenly there was another sound of footsteps outside, and then, led by Zhe Xia, Yun Niang and Qing Miao's group from the back of the hall hurried towards Luoying Courtyard.

Seeing the two children in Yunniang and Qingmiao's arms, Chu Ci subconsciously let go of King Lu Xiaojun's hand, went up to meet him, and asked anxiously, "Zhexia, Yunniang, why did you come here all night, and you brought them with you?" Xiaoer and Xiner go over."

Zhexia heard the words, but didn't reply immediately.

Instead, he raised his head, took a deep look at the Duke Lu Xiaojun who was still standing there, and then stiffly cupped his hands, and replied bluntly, "It's like this, the girl and the Duke Lu Xiaojun just left for a short time, and the princess of the county came to pick you up." I got a secret letter, which contained an earring of Miss Lu, and it said that if you want to save Miss Lu, you must send either the Eldest Young Master or the Second Young Master to a Zhuangzi in the north of the city..."

"What do you mean, the princess of the county did so?" Chu Ci coldly interrupted Zhe Xia, and asked back without saving face for the princess of Nanjun.

Zhexia is a member of Chu Ci and Meng Jing, so naturally he will not cover up for the people of Nanjun Palace.Listening to Chu Ci guessing the truth, without explaining half a sentence, he just nodded and acquiesced.

After Chu Ci confirmed the cruel truth, he clenched his hands in his sleeves tightly.

Bit by bit, until it crunches...

King Lu Xiaojun was not far from the two of them, and his hearing was not bad, so he naturally heard what Zhexia said in reply.

Immediately, his face turned pale.

The next moment, he stumbled and hurriedly walked towards Chuci, looked at her with a pained face, and called out "Lady" cautiously.

Chu Ci didn't want to pay attention to him emotionally.

But intellectually, he couldn't truly ignore her.

In a dilemma, she couldn't help but clenched her hands even tighter.

The well-manicured nails dug into the palm of her hand, but she didn't seem to feel any pain.

He just looked forward coldly, at Xiao Er and Xin Er who were still sleeping soundly in their swaddling babies.

"My lady, my mother..." King Lu Xiaojun wanted to explain.

But he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word of excuse. He also knew that this time his mother was too impulsive.

But... Even so, she was still his own mother.

"Okay, you don't need to say any more." Chu Ci knocked out all his resentment and annoyance and swallowed his teeth and blood.

Then he turned his head and looked at King Lu Xiaojun, with a hint of indifference in his calm, he said word by word, "These are meaningless...Let's wait until the eldest lady is rescued."

"Miss!" Lu Xiaojun looked at her painful but forbearance, and let out a soft cry in extreme pain.

Chu Ci didn't pay attention, she just glanced at her indifferently, then turned her head and walked towards Yunniang, took Xiaoer from her hand, lifted the swaddle with one hand, and took a careful look twice.

She hugged Xin'er again, and kissed him lightly on the forehead.

"Qingsan!" After returning the two children to the maid, she suddenly spoke and called Qingsan's name again.

Hearing the sound, Qingsan immediately came out from the couch in the dark, went in front of Chu Ci, and called out "Master" respectfully!
Chu Ci gave him a deep look, "Now you immediately escort the two young masters and Zhe Xia to leave Luoxia Villa, and after entering the city, hand over the two children to the regent and tell the regent that no matter what price you pay, We must protect the two children."

Hearing this, Qingsan immediately surrendered his hands and said, "Master, don't worry, the subordinates will definitely deliver the two young masters to the prince safely. If there is any mistake, the subordinates will come to see you!"

"Yeah." Chu Ci took a deep look at him, "I still have to say, when necessary, I can poison all the people around ten miles away."

"Yes, this subordinate understands!"

"After sending the child to the Prince Regent's Mansion, you rush to meet me at the Chu Mansion in the east of the city. I have other things to tell you!"

"Yes, master!" Qing San clapped his hands and replied again.

Only then did Chu Ci wave his hand, indicating that he could take people away.

Qingsan, Zhexia and two children were sent away.

Chu Ci groaned for a moment, suppressed all the anger in his heart, and then looked back at King Lu Xiaojun, and said, "I'm going back to Beijing now, do you want to go together?"

King Lu Xiaojun didn't expect Chu Ci to pay any attention to him at all, so he hurriedly nodded and followed in three steps at a time.

Outside, the carriage is ready.

After the two got into the car.

There was silence in the whole car.

Chu Ci closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to listen to King Lu Xiaojun's words.

King Lu Xiaojun didn't know what to say.

On the one hand is the mother and the sister of the compatriots, and on the other is the beloved wife and the son who is not related by blood.

The younger sister was kidnapped because of his wife.

He really didn't know what to say, let alone which side to stand on.

The two of them just stayed in the same compartment in silence.

Until dawn, when the carriage entered the city, no one spoke.

The carriage ran like this on the cold and deserted Suzaku Street.

It took another quarter of an hour for Chu Ci to order the driver outside to drive the carriage to Chu's residence.

The coachman had already seen how powerful the concubine Shizi was, so he dared not obey. When he reached the intersection, he turned in the direction of Chu's house without saying a word...

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the Chu residence.

Before Chu Ci got out of the car, he looked at King Lu Xiaojun and said coldly, "This is a house I bought in the capital before. If you want, you can come in together. If you don't want to, let the coachman deliver it to you." You can also go back to the county palace."

King Lu Xiaojun heard what Chu Ci said, but subconsciously asked, "Lady... don't you plan to go back to the county palace in the future?"

Chu Ci gave him a cold look, "Your sister is still in Kunning Palace, are you sure you want to discuss these issues with me?!"

King Lu Xiaojun: "..."

"It's up to you if you want to stay or not, I'll go in first!" Chu Ci said coldly, jumped out of the car, and walked to Chu's residence.

After not coming back for more than a year, Chuci is still the same.

After knocking on the door.

The housekeeper's old face was revealed, seeing him, his eyes lit up involuntarily, and he hurriedly called "girl".

Chu Ci nodded, and while walking in, she heard her excitedly go to the dumb girl and the dumb girl.

The dumb girl's family is hard-working people, and this point has been woken up a long time ago.

Hearing the butler's call, he immediately came out from inside.

Seeing Chu Ci's appearance, the two were excited again.

The dumb girl couldn't speak, so the dumb girl told her daughter all she wanted to express——since Chu Ci left, she has been cleaning Chu Ci's Xie Ci residence every day, looking forward to it every day. She can come back... She is really happy to see her back now.

Even though Chu Ci's heart was heavy, seeing such a simple family, his face softened a little.

Following the two, they walked towards Xie Ciju step by step.

As Mute Sister said, Xie Ciju is still the same, there is no change, as if she left not for a year, but for a day and a half.

Sit down on the familiar couch.

She hadn't had time to think about anything.

The voice of the mute girl came from outside, she called "uncle".

Chu Ci looked up, and saw King Lu Xiaojun walking towards her with his head down.

"... Dumb girl, help your mother out first, there is no need for anyone to take care of you here for the time being, may I call you when something happens?" Turning her thoughts, she looked at the dumb girl again, and ordered softly.

Hearing this, the dumb girl bowed her head and saluted, then helped her mother back out.

Wait until no one is in the house.

Lu Xiaojun Ang also slowly walked in front of Chu Ci.

The expression on his face was painful and desolate.

After standing still, without any warning, he knelt down in front of Chu Ci.

Chu Ci didn't expect him to make such a move.

She has also been worshiped by many people before, but those people are all patients or servants who have been favored by her.

She really didn't expect that one day, her husband would kneel in front of her like this without any warning.

Looking at him, she remained silent for a long time with a complex expression before asking, "What... what do you want to say?"

King Lu Xiaojun hasn't spoken yet.

She added coldly, "If you are begging for mercy, there is no need. I can understand what I need to understand, and I will do what I need to do. But forgive me without any grievances... I'm sorry, I Can't do it."

"..." Lu Xiaojun was blocked by her, and even swallowed the last sentence he wanted to say.

"The night is as cold as water, and the house is still on fire, so don't kneel down anymore, it's not good for your health." She stood up and gently helped him up.

"My lady..." Up to now, King Lu Xiaojun seemed to be able to say only these two words.

Chu Ci nodded, followed, stretched out his hand to gently wrap his arms around his waist, pressed against his chest, and said, "Master, I know what you want to say... Don't worry, I will still do what I said. Count, in this life, as long as you don't leave, I will never give up."

"What your sister did, what your mother did, it's their choice, it has nothing to do with you, it has nothing to do with it at all. As long as you don't blindly stand in their position and make an enemy of me, then I will not Take my anger out on you."

"My lady!" King Lu Xiaojun called out again, at the same time, his eyes turned red and his voice became hoarse.

Hearing Chu Ci's heart softened again.

The two are confessing to each other.

There was a sudden coughing sound outside.

Hearing this, Chu Ci subconsciously struggled out of King Lu Xiaojun's arms, then looked at the flowers and branches swaying in the wind outside, and said, "Qingsan, come in!"

"Yes, master!" Qingsan replied awkwardly, then walked in from the outside.

"The two young masters have been safely sent to the Prince Regent's Mansion. I wonder if the master has any other orders?" After Qingsan came in, he kept his eyes on the subject and ran straight to the topic.

After listening to his inquiry, Chu Ci explained the "method of substitution" that he had thought up in advance.

After listening to Qingsan, with an excited expression on his face, he said "The subordinate understands" and retreated.

On the side, King Lu Xiaojun had a serious expression on his face.

After he was silent for a long time, he looked at Chu Ci and asked in a low voice, "Is this really feasible? The queen mother and the queen won't...so get angry and hurt Zhaohua?"

"Otherwise, do you have other ideas?" Chu Ci looked at him and asked seriously.

King Lu Xiaojun shook his head in disappointment, "No."

Chu Ci took his hand, squeezed it lightly, and persuaded in a deep voice, "Since there is no one, then listen to me... If you can't let the Queen Mother hand over everyone in Cheng'enhou's mansion, Then poison everyone in the palace! If poisoning everyone in the palace still fails to achieve the goal, then poison everyone in the entire capital!"

"...Will the people in the capital be too innocent?" Duke Lu Xiaojun still had some doubts.

Chu Ci shook his head, "As long as this kind of poison can be removed within seven days, it won't harm the body. As for whether they will blame me, I will sit in the Huichun Hall and have a free clinic for three months. "

Hearing what she said, King Lu Xiaojun was relieved.

On the other hand, Qingsan's speed is indeed fast.

According to Chu Ci's order, he made the entire Chengenhou mansion fall down in less than half an hour.

On the door of Cheng Enhou's study, there was a piece of letter paper, and there was only one concise word on the letter paper - "Chu".

The meaning is obvious, the poison was given by Chu Ci.

As for why they targeted Chengenhou's mansion, the queen mother and empress could figure it out if they had any brains.

An hour later, the news reached the palace.

Kunning Palace, when the queen heard the news, she almost dropped the teacup in her hand. She sat up from the phoenix seat with an angry face, and said angrily, "This Chu Ci is such a bitch, how dare you treat me like this?" My natal family took action..."

Her close maid Iris and Yuanshi knew everything the queen did.

Yuanwei has always had the same temperament as the queen, and now seeing her master angry, she also became angry, echoing the queen and said, "Your Majesty is right, this Chu Ci is a bitch, not to mention one daughter and two marriages, how dare she still marry her now?" If the empress doesn't give her some flair for taking action against her natal family, won't she ride on her head in the future..."

"What you're saying is that this palace should give her some color! Come, someone, drive to the Palace of Compassion and Ning!"

Yuan Shi did not agree with what Yuan Wei said, as soon as he heard that the Empress was going to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, he immediately went out to have someone prepare the sedan chair.

In the eyes of outsiders, the queen is still giving birth, and these details cannot be ignored.

About two quarters of an hour later, the Empress appeared in front of the Empress Dowager of Compassionate Ning Palace.

Empress Dowager Ren looked at her niece and daughter who were in a hurry, and frowned slightly, "What's the matter? She ran to my aunt angrily before the confinement period... But the emperor favored the newcomer again! "

"No!" The Empress sat down beside the Empress Dowager Ren, hugged her arm and shook her, and said, "It's not because of the Emperor, the Emperor has got a son, and right now he is so hot-hearted, how can he attract those charming girls."

"Then what's the matter?"

"Aunt, don't you know yet? Something happened to the Marquis of Cheng'en's mansion..." The queen looked at the Empress Dowager Ren in astonishment. She really didn't expect that the news of her aunt would lag behind her.

After hearing what she said, Empress Dowager Ren paused for a moment, then said, "Ai's family slept a little longer this morning, perhaps because of this, the servants didn't report immediately... Tell me, what happened to the Marquis of Cheng'en's mansion?" What's the matter?"

"If you go back to my aunt, my grandmother, mother, second uncle, third uncle... all the hundreds of people in the family have been poisoned, and now their faces are pale, and it seems that they have their last breath... On the door of the study, someone I left a letter with a Chu character on it."

"It's her again!" Upon hearing the word "Chu", the Empress Dowager's face suddenly darkened.

"Auntie, what should we do now...or, directly order people to arrest everyone in Nanjun Wangfu, and then arrest Chu Ci, torture her severely, and force her to hand over the antidote!"

"That's not right." The queen mother shook her head with a very bad expression.

The queen didn't know that Chu Ci was accompanied by a Azure Dragon Guard, but she knew it.

If it wasn't for the Qinglongwei, she might have let Chu Ci and the bastard in her stomach meet the King of Hades when she was in Jinling.

"Why!" The queen looked anxious.In the midst of irritability, he lost even an inch, and looked directly at the queen mother and asked, "Could it be that even you are afraid of her, aunt?"

Hearing what she said, the Queen Mother wanted to get angry at her, but felt it was unnecessary.

In the end, he could only sigh and said, "Auntie is not afraid of her, but afraid of the Azure Dragon Guard behind her..."

"Qinglongwei..." The queen knew about this, and she was shocked at the time. She looked at the queen mother with a look of incredulity, "Auntie means that the regent gave the Qinglongwei to that bitch?"

The Queen Mother nodded, "Not bad."

After a pause, he continued, "If she only had that kind of medical skill, or only Qinglongwei, the Ai family would not be too afraid, but unfortunately, she has superb medical skills, and Qinglongwei is by her side... the two Adding it up is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two."

She had no doubt that if they didn't put Lu Zhaohua back within a day, Chuci would definitely do crazier things.

"In the end, it's useless to blame the princess of Nanjun!" The queen couldn't offend Chuci, so she had to vent her anger on the incompetent princess of Nanjun. No, she is still the child's grandmother in name, it is useless!"

Empress Dowager Ren ignored the queen's complaints. She looked at her most beloved niece, and after a while, she ordered in a low voice, "Let someone put Lu Zhaohua back."

"...Just put it all back like this?" The queen looked unwilling.

"Otherwise?" Empress Dowager Ren asked back, "Don't you think the palace should not be like Cheng Enhou's mansion?"

The queen shook her head quickly.

Then, he pursed his lips for a while, and then said, "I see...the niece will go back first."

The queen mother nodded.

Seeing that she got up and saluted, she was about to go out, as if thinking of something, she asked again, "By the way, how is the eldest princess... I heard from the people below that Chu Ci and Concubine Ning still have some relationship! Don't let her really heal the eldest princess, as well as Concubine Ning, the Ai family thought that she was the only one who was the most honest in the harem, but she didn't expect that behind the scenes..." He secretly raised the eldest son of the emperor.

I also kept it for nine years and hid it for nine years.

The queen is still worrying about things at home.

How can I care about Concubine Ning? Hearing the Queen Mother's question, he just responded casually, "The niece has been watched by others at Fanghua Palace. Chu Ci pulled the needle on that little thing, but that little thing has not been treated until now. I haven't woken up yet... I also asked the imperial physician privately, saying that in such a situation, even if I wake up in the future, I will be a fool!"

"In this way, the Ai family can rest assured." Queen Mother Ren heaved a sigh of relief, and waved her hand again, indicating that she can go.

The queen bowed again, and then walked outside...

In Kunning Palace.

As soon as the empress entered the dormitory, Yuanwei chirped with her hind feet, "Your Majesty, are you really going to listen to the Empress Dowager and let Lu Zhaohua go like this?"

"Otherwise?" The queen gave Yuanwei a cool look, and said angrily, "I can still offend someone my aunt can't afford."

As soon as the iris rolled her eyes, she began to come up with bad ideas, "Why don't you think of a way to break that Lu Zhaohua's body first... You know, this Lu Zhaohua is the heart of the princess of Nanjun. If she has a bad life, Then Chu Ci can't even think about living a good life, so, wouldn't it be considered revenge for you?"

Hearing what Iris said, the queen nodded hesitantly, thinking that it was feasible.

Then he glanced at Iris, then took off a golden step shaker from her head, gave her a reward, and said, "You can arrange this matter!"

"Yes, empress!" Yuanwei held the golden steps and walked out happily.

After arriving at the outer hall, the smile on her face subsided.

Then, a cunning flashed in the corner of his eyes.

After putting away the golden steps, he asked where the little palace girl was going next to him, and then walked towards the warehouse.

At this time, Yuan Shi was in the warehouse with the little maids counting the congratulations for the court ceremony, and the congratulatory gifts from the wives, when she suddenly heard the door of the warehouse being pushed open, she subconsciously looked towards the door.

Seeing that it was Iris, she frowned unconsciously, and then went up to meet her, and asked softly, "Why are you here, does your empress have any orders?"
