Chapter Ninety-Three: Robbery While the Fire is Burning
In Chu Xiaoxiao's opinion, it seems that she has always been clinging to Yun Ruochen, and every time they meet, she takes the initiative to find Yun Ruochen, so it is inevitable that it will be a little boring to go on like this.
Hearing this, Yun Ruochen's lips hooked up a faint smile, and he said in a warm voice: "Xiaoxiao is a busy person, how can this king bother." ”
Chu Xiaoxiao picked up a chair next to Yun Ruochen and sat down at random, snorted lightly and said, "How do idlers know that busy people don't want idlers?"
Hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's words, Yun Ruochen was stunned for a moment, and then reacted instantly.
Although Chu Xiaoxiao's words were awkward, they were extremely pleasant to Yun Ruochen's ears.
"Xiaoxiao......" Yun Ruochen felt that he was a little short of words for the first time, and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Chu Xiaoxiao has been with Yun Ruochen during this time, and her cheeks have been much thicker than usual. In Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes, a beautiful man of Yun Ruochen's level is definitely worthy of her dead face.
Although Chu Xiaoxiao has not yet determined how far her own feelings for Yun Ruochen have reached, the only thing that is certain is that in her eyes, Yun Ruochen is different from others.
According to modern terms, the current stage of her and Yun Ruochen belongs to the friendship is full, and the love has not yet been reached.
"Don't speak. Chu Xiaoxiao saw that Yun Ruochen didn't say anything, so she directly pursed her lips and opened her mouth to block his words, and then said, "Stretch out your hand." ”
"Hand?" Yun Ruochen was slightly stunned, obviously not understanding what Chu Xiaoxiao meant.
Chu Xiaoxiao snorted and said, "I'll take your pulse, I heard that when you were in the capital, there was an imperial doctor who came to ask for peace every day." At this time, the imperial doctors who came to Yongzhou City are busy, and no one has time to pay attention to you, so I will reluctantly help you check the pulse. ”
Yun Ruochen knew the purpose of Chu Xiaoxiao's visit this time, and he didn't shirk it, he gently rolled up one of his sleeves, and then put his wrist on the table in front of Chu Xiaoxiao.
Because of the perennial lack of sunlight, Yun Ruochen's almost all of them show a color like white jade, and the whole person seems to be delicate without a trace of flaws.
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Yun Ruochen's exposed arm with straight eyes, and suddenly thought in her heart, wouldn't it be embarrassing if her hand was darker than Yun Ruochen's when she took Yun Ruochen's pulse?
Thinking of the scene of playing with a big knife under the sun, Chu Xiaoxiao, who had never cared about her appearance in her previous life and this life, felt inferior in front of a man for the first time.
But Yun Ruochen didn't know Chu Xiaoxiao's thoughts, at this time, he looked at Chu Xiaoxiao and didn't move, paused slightly, and then called out softly: "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, it's okay!" Chu Xiaoxiao hurriedly forcibly grabbed back her divergent infinite thoughts, and then reached out to Yun Ruochen's wrist.
Whew, it's okay, it's okay, she's not darker than Yun Ruochen......
However, unexpectedly, although Yun Ruochen looked thin, his wrists were not as weak as Chu Xiaoxiao imagined, except for the somewhat pale complexion, he didn't look like a long-term sick person at all.
Yun Ruochen looked at Chu Xiaoxiao, suddenly remembered something, and said suspiciously, "What about Lord Chu?"
In the past few days, Chu Ci has been in the post house and has not gone out, Chu Xiaoxiao has taken care of this father in the end, even if she meets him, she doesn't talk much.
Being able to take the initiative to come to him today made Yun Ruochen a little surprised.
"My dad is out. Chu Xiaoxiao helped Yun Ruochen take the pulse, and said: "My father has been in retreat for the past few days, and he has studied the prescription for treating the plague, and he is going out of the city to find someone to try at this time, so he doesn't have time to care about me." ”
"I see. Yun Ruochen nodded and didn't say anything.
Chu Xiaoxiao was taking Yun Ruochen's pulse, but there was a hint of surprise on her face, "Yun Ruochen, have you ever injured the meridians before?"
Hearing this, Yun Ruochen looked at Chu Xiaoxiao in some surprise.
Chu Xiaoxiao said: "Although I am not skilled in medicine, compared to those imperial doctors with excellent medical skills, I am a martial artist, and I am naturally better at these things than them." ”
Hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's words, Yun Ruochen paused slightly for a moment before speaking: "This king doesn't know, it should be a very young thing, in short, it has been like this since this king remembers." ”
Chu Xiaoxiao probed Yun Ruochen's meridians again, and found that just like Yun Ruochen said, what she just found was indeed some old injuries, at least more than ten years, and Yun Ruochen had just reached the crown this year.
Merely...... Yun Ruochen was only a few years old at that time, how could a child of a few years old hurt the meridians? If he could, someone would definitely do it on purpose!
No wonder His Majesty the Emperor is so mean and unkind, after killing all the princes of the previous emperor, he can still allow Yun Ruochen to live for so many years.
His Majesty the Emperor should have known early on that Yun Ruochen had no possibility of competing with him.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes slowly let out a trace of evil spirit.
"Xiaoxiao. After feeling Chu Xiaoxiao's emotions, Yun Ruochen shouted helplessly, "You don't have to think about it so much, this king has been like this for so many years, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Yun Ruochen, her eyes suddenly became serious, "Yun Ruochen, one day, I will cure you." ”
Yun Ruochen smiled, and he couldn't tell whether he believed or didn't believe Chu Xiaoxiao's words in his tone, but the smile on the corner of his lips was extremely warm, "Well, I believe in you." ”
When Chu Xiaoxiao returned to her yard, she happened to meet the oncoming Chu Ci.
"Dad?" Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Ci who had gone and returned in surprise, and couldn't help asking, "Dad, why did you come back?"
Chu Ci's face was a little unpleasant, and after hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's words, he sighed and said, "It's still a matter of the plague." ”
"Plague?" Chu Xiaoxiao frowned, and then said, "Isn't there already a prescription that can cure this plague?"
Hearing this, Chu Ci sighed again and said: "For the sake of the plague in Yongzhou City this time, the disaster relief silver allocated by the imperial court household department is not very abundant, and as a result, the medicine merchants in several states and counties near Yongzhou City have taken advantage of the fire to rob and increase the price of medicine several times, relying on the silver taels for disaster relief, how can so many poor people afford to use it?"
"Robbing while the fire is on?" Chu Xiaoxiao's face instantly became gloomy, and she suddenly remembered the idea that Yun Ruochen gave her before.
Because of what she said without choosing words, she completely forgot about business when she came back!
Chu Ci said helplessly: "It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with businessmen pursuing profits, but they choose this time...... It's too much, and it's hurtful. ”
