After Chu Jin's reminder, Gu Xici suddenly remembered what happened before he fell unconscious.

With a gentle smile at Shang Chu Jin, Gu Xici didn't tremble, could it be ......

Sure enough, Chu Jin said the answer that Gu Xici had in mind.

"Marriage!" Chu Jin smiled brightly, his purple eyes were like a galaxy, and he said affectionately to Gu Xici.

His gaze was a little hot, and he couldn't help but lower his head.

The assassin's matter allowed her to escape for the time being, but what Chu Jin saw that night was undoubtedly the biggest problem for her, like a time bomb placed next to her, which could explode at any time.

"After sleeping for so long, is there anything you want to eat?" Chu Jin stroked her long hair and asked softly.

Hearing him ask, Gu Xici realized that he was really a little hungry. I haven't eaten for two days, and some of the ones that are too greasy are not as good as my mouth.

"I want to eat mung bean cake." Somehow, an idea suddenly popped out of Gu Xici's mind. But as soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it.

They are now in a carriage, some way from Kyoto, where is there a place to sell mung bean cakes on this official road?

"Forget it, let's drink some porridge!" Gu Xici changed his words.

As soon as the words ended, the carriage suddenly stopped. I only heard Jing Gao ask outside: "Master, the meal is ready, do you want to send it over now?" ”

"No need, this king will go over in person."

Gu Xici thought that Chu Jin must have wanted to take the opportunity to go out to breathe, after all, he had been by his side for so long. It just so happened that she also wanted to take advantage of Chu Jin's absence to check the wound on her back, and she had been sleeping again for the past few days, and she didn't know what it had become.

After making sure that Chu Jin was leaving, Gu Xici carefully took off his clothes, gritted his teeth, and gently smeared the medicinal powder and tea that Thousand-faced Langjun gave her on his back. I saw a layer of skin turn up, and then quickly fall off her back.

The white and smooth back is gone, replaced by wounded skin. Large and small wounds were of different depths on her back, and they looked very hideous.

Gu Xici has long been accustomed to this, and when she was a killer, her body was still full of scars. One of the things that affected her the most was the bullet hole less than two centimeters from her heart.

On that occasion, she was ordered to purge the group of defectors, who were her seniors and the top masters of the organization. The reason why that mission was successful was not because Gu Xici's ability was stronger than her, but because that senior had concerns that she had never had.

The defector married a man behind the organization's back and became pregnant with that man's child. By the time Gu Xici found her, she was already pregnant.

Even so, the fledgling Gu Xici was not the opponent of her predecessors, and after she dodged a few shots in a row, Gu Xici focused on her towering belly.

pretended to attack her stomach, but she didn't expect the other party to do not hesitate to expose all the weaknesses on her body, and dodge the attack on her stomach sideways, so that Gu Xici had a chance, a shot hit her in the chest, and the bullet passed through the chamber, and the seniors were lying on the ground, and their hands were still desperately protecting their children.

At that time, she couldn't understand how her predecessors could regard children as more important than life, but seeing her begging bitterly, in the end, Gu Xici still carried the organization behind her back and sent the posthumous child to her husband.

It wasn't until she fell in love and didn't hesitate to do it for a man that she understood the state of mind of her predecessors at that time. It's a pity that the object she wants to work hard to protect ends up shooting her in the heart.

Gu Xici retracted her thoughts and wanted to take out the gold sore medicine from her body, only to find that she didn't have the medicine with her.

She was about to get out of bed and rummage, but she heard a "bang" and a white porcelain vase fell from her clothes.

Gu Xici remembered that this was the medicine that Luqiu Xie Lan gave her before. At that time, she obviously refused for a long time, but the other party insisted on giving it to her, so she had no choice but to put it on her body. I never thought that it would come in handy at this time.

She unplugged the wooden cork that was on the porcelain bottle, and the fragrance of herbs overflowed from the bottle. Gu Xici snorted, it smelled quite powerful. I can't care so much at the moment, so I took the medicine bottle and fell down my back with my backhand.

"Hiss......" Gu Xici couldn't help but gasp, the wound was stuck with the medicinal powder, and there was a piercing pain, and his other hand tightened suddenly, crumbling the quilt next to him into a ball.

After the pain of the heart, it brought a little coolness, and the original painful wound actually improved a lot.

"Resignation?" As soon as Gu Xici put on his clothes, Chu Jin's voice came from outside the carriage.

"Here it is!" Tie the clothes in a hurry, and the medicine bottles were also stuffed into the clothes at will, Gu Xici hurriedly opened the latch in the carriage.

When he opened the door, he saw Chu Jin holding a food box in his hand, looking at him helplessly.

He boarded the car, put the food box aside, and reached out helplessly to tidy up Gu Xici's clothes, and the messy clothes were also untied and rearranged by him.

Seeing Chu Jin's movements, Gu Xici's face turned red. The clothes on his body passed through Chu Jin's hands, and they returned to their former appearance. Helping Gu Xici back to the bed, he opened the food box, took out a small pastry from it, and fed it to Gu Xici's mouth.

Gu Xici subconsciously opened his mouth, and a bean fragrance entered his mouth.

"Mung bean cake?" Gu Xici's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he looked at Chu Jin with a look of surprise, "It's still Dou Tingxuan's mung bean cake!" ”

With a smile on his face, Chu Jin saw Gu Xici like this, reached out and moved the food box on the table to the bed, opened the lid, and the fragrance of mung beans filled the carriage.

"Are you summoning Dou Tingxuan's back kitchen into the palace?" Gu Xici picked up another piece and asked.

"Why, only Dou Tingxuan is allowed to make such pastries, can't this king?" Chu Jin's tone was a little sour.

Gu Xiqi was stunned, this turned out to be done by Chu Jin himself?

"How is it, this king's craftsmanship is okay, right?" Chu Jin smiled softly, "The princess likes it, then the king will work harder and do it next time." ”

"You, you went to study this purpose?" Gu Xiqi ate it, this mung bean cake has the special taste of Dou Tingxuan, if this secret recipe is not his own family, how can he make it.

Chu Jin raised his eyebrows, and suddenly approached Gu Xici, with a hint of a smile in his voice, "You are very moved?" Why don't you kiss me as a reward? ”

This was the first time Gu Xici had observed Chu Jin so closely, and her long eyelashes were like a small fan, fanning her heart.

"I ......" she subconsciously fled, but accidentally touched his cheek in a panic.

The roots of Gu Xici's ears instantly turned red.

And Chu Jin tilted his head, stretched out his hand to brush the place where Gu Xi had just kissed, his eyebrows bent, and he said softly, "Although the location is not accurate, for the sake of your initiative, I am still satisfied with it!" ”

It was just an accidental touch, but it was said so ambiguously by Chu Jin, as if something happened to the two that couldn't be said.

"Poof......" Suddenly there was a burst of laughter outside, which made Gu Xi come back to his senses, and suddenly realized that he had fallen into the trap of an old fox, this Chu Jin was not as pure and harmless as he seemed on the surface. Especially those words just said, where is it like the pure white and flawless person he has always said?

It looks like a pure and good look, and the stomach is black when it is cut open! How do you say that? Black belly! Gu Xici searched in his mind and finally found this appropriate word.

"I gave you and Dilian, can you take it with you?" Chu Jin asked suddenly.

"Here." Gu Xici took out a piece of jade pendant from his clothes and handed it to Chu Jin's hand.

I don't know why, she has never had the habit of wearing jewelry, but the jade pendant that Chu Jin gave her has been carried by her for the first time. She didn't know what the important meaning of this piece of jade meant to Chu Jin, in her opinion, it was just a piece of jade with a better texture.

Chu Jin groped for this piece of jade pendant with satisfaction, and returned it to Gu Xici again, instructing: "You keep it close to you, it will be of great use that day." ”

Gu Xici raised his eyes, couldn't he see that this piece of jade could be different from other jade? Or is it still hiding some secrets?

"What do you think of the fifteenth of this month?" Suddenly, Chu Jin looked at Gu Xici and asked.

"What?" Gu Xici was still thinking about the jade pendant, and he didn't react to what Chu Jin was talking about, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "There was nothing to do on the fifteenth day!" ”

"Then it's set at fifteen!" Chu Jin nodded with satisfaction, "The people in the Ministry of Rites have counted the days, and it is a rare good day to get married on the fifteenth day of this month." ”

Hearing Chu Jin say this, Gu Xici realized that the "fifteenth" he said was actually the day of marriage, what did she just say? Accidentally sold yourself?

"Isn't fifteen a little too fast?" Gu Xici asked tentatively, "You see that my injuries are not yet complete, and then there must be a lot of things to prepare for the prince's wedding, is it too late to prepare in the palace in just a few days?" ”

"Then you can rest assured, my father has already notified the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and asked him to prepare as soon as possible." Chu Jin smiled and continued: "And I also told the imperial doctor, he said that as long as you wake up and raise for a few more days, you will be cured, and it will not hinder the fifteenth to do business." ”

…… Get down to business?

Gu Xici couldn't listen to it anymore, but Chu Jin still looked like a matter of course, so calm that he couldn't be calmer, this kind of thing seemed to him as ordinary as discussing what to eat tonight.

Sure enough, everyone was deceived by his beautiful skin, and there was a scheming big fox hidden under the beautiful skin!

Thinking of this, Gu Xici suddenly remembered that night, King Zhao deliberately pretended to be General Pingyuan and was in his camp. With a squint of eyes, looking at the person in front of him, he couldn't help but ask, "That day, why did you say that I was with you at night?" ”

Although it has become a reality for the two to get married, she can't help but want to ask more, wondering what kind of existence she is in Chu Jin's heart.

He has been secretly helping her for so long, if these are all coincidental efforts, Gu Xici will definitely not believe it.

"Because I want to marry you as soon as possible, so that you can truly become Princess Zhao." Chu Jin returned to his former calm and put away his previous impropriety. Looking at his calm appearance, Gu Xici couldn't guess the emotions hidden under this man's mask.

"You are King Zhao, what do you want is not a matter of one sentence? Why lie in front of the emperor, this is a bully! Gu Xiqi was not in a hurry, and said calmly into his eyes.

"That's not to quit you!" Chu Jin chuckled, his eyebrows were full of pampering, "I can deceive the king for you, I don't want you to be reluctant to see it, this king has been convicted of bullying the king, right?" ”

Of course, Gu Xici won't debunk it, isn't this a thankless task? Finally, someone helped her clear her name, is it possible for her to deny the anti-generals?

"Naturally, I can't bear it." Gu Xici said with a smile.

"In that case, it's the king's turn to ask you!" Chu Jin suddenly sat up straight, looking at Gu Xici's eyes with a serious look.

This was the first time that Chu Jin had sat beside her so seriously and asked, a trace of surprise flashed in Gu Xici's eyes, and then he nodded, "What does the prince want to know?" ”

"Like you, where were you that night?"

Although Chu Jin was still that weak, Gu Xici unexpectedly felt the pressure he gave. The still pale face was a little more persistent, looking at her gaze had an irresistible courage, but all this dissipated in the next second, and when Gu Xici wanted to see it clearly, the person looked gentle again.

"In my father's account."

Gu Xici's tone was firm, and he didn't look like he was lying.

She vaguely remembered that when she was in a coma, her father Gu Yuan seemed to raise his feet, deliberately wanting to clear her name, and Gu Yuan had a great relationship with the Netherworld Valley, even if it was this, he would not die without help.

This reason sounded reasonable, but Chu Jin didn't let her go because of this, "What is he looking for you?" ”

Gu Xici replied quietly, "That day in the paddock, I bumped into the prince, and my father taught me a lesson about this matter, so that I should understand the rules and etiquette." ”

"I see!" Chu Jin didn't doubt him, nodded and said, "Speaking of which, everything that day was my fault, if I didn't have to let you hunt for me, you wouldn't have been injured, would you blame me?" ”

"How so!"

Gu Xici thought to himself, not only will I not blame you, but I will thank you. If it weren't for Chu Jin's proposal, she wouldn't have been able to enter the paddock justifiably.

Chu Jin smiled and opened the food box that was originally placed on the table, in addition to the mung bean cake on the first layer, there were other snacks hidden underneath, "The imperial doctor said that you are half fine when you wake up, but you can't take it lightly, cultivate well, don't forget, we still have big things to do after we return to Beijing!" ”

He handed Gu Xici a pair of chopsticks, and then said, "I'll go out to drink the medicine first, you can eat it well." ”

As he spoke, Jing Gao's voice came in from outside, "Master, the medicine has been decocted, do you want to send it in?" ”

Gu Xici's nose was very sensitive, and when he smelled the smell of medicine coming from under the car, he could distinguish the composition of the medicinal materials. In addition to the agarwood fragrance that has always been smelled on Chu Jin's body, the other herbs also have the effect of detoxification.

It seems that Chu Jin, like him, is also highly poisonous. It's just that she can't figure it out, Chu Jin was born in the palace when he was a child, and for so many years, couldn't all the imperial doctors study the poison in his body and develop an antidote?

"But the prince is drinking this medicine every day?" Gu Xici asked.

"It's just a medicine to reassure the queen mother and father, and it's the same whether you drink it or not." Chu Jin lifted the curtain and took the medicine sent in by Jing Gao.

Seeing that the bowl of medicine was pitch black and a little thick, Gu Xici couldn't help frowning.

"Lord Wang, it's a medicine that is three parts poisonous, since it doesn't work, it's better for you to eat less."

"Is this worrying about this king?" Chu Jin raised his eyebrows and said with a wicked smile: "Don't worry, princess, this king will not disappoint the princess." ”

"Ahem......" Gu Xici just took a bite of the mung bean cake, and when he heard him say this, he almost didn't spit it out again.

Chu Jin was intimate, holding the medicine in one hand and gently patting her back with the other, and did not forget to remind: "It's all yours here, why be so anxious?" ”

Gu Xici has never seen such a thick-skinned person! I was angry in my heart, but I couldn't show it to the person in front of me, so I could only pretend to be calm and said, "Lord Wang, drink the medicine first, otherwise the medicine will be cold, and I also want to rest alone for a while." ”

Chu Jin nodded understandingly, "Then you have a good rest, and this king will go out first." ”

Jing Gao stood next to the car door, saw Chu Jin coming over, immediately lifted the car curtain, stretched out his hand to help Chu Jin, who was a little unsteady in his steps, and admonished: "Lord be careful with your step!" ”

Gu Xici looked at Chu Jin's weak body and couldn't help frowning. Wasn't it quite powerful when I held her that day, why did it seem like a different person?

Suddenly thinking of the word "powerful", Gu Xici couldn't help but shudder. Was she taken by Chu Jin, why was her mind full of his evil thoughts?

"It's so dark! What a vixen! Gu Xici couldn't help muttering.

After saying this, Gu Xici felt that it was a little inappropriate. Chu Jin's beauty is comparable to that of a woman, but it is different from ordinary women. His beauty is the beauty that comes out of his bones, and it is the beauty that people can't refuse to want to protect, not like King Cheng, who exudes the commotion of a fox from top to bottom.

Hey, these princes aren't fuel-efficient lamps! Gu Xici sighed, it's better to heal the injuries first, and then think about how to fight wits and courage with them!

*

When I returned to Kyoto, my first priority was to discuss the division of the country from Vietnam.

Luqiu Xie Lan stood on the main hall,-for-tat with Chu Yu. This time, he also brought with him all the ancient books of the Yue Liguo, various documents on the division of the territory of the former emperor, and some folk customs, and even the language used by the people in their city, which should belong to the Yue Liguo.

And the crown prince Chu Yu also pulled out his arrows and vetoed everything that Luqiu Xie Lan said one by one. In the end, the five cities bordering the country still did not discuss a belonging, but the two sides quarreled in the court, and finally broke up unhappily.

The next morning, Lu Qiu Xie Lan left with the mission with only a letter, saying that there was an important matter in the country that he needed to deal with.

The-for-tat confrontation between Luqiu Xie Lan and Chu Yu in the court spread all over the streets and alleys of Kyoto, and the people were talking about it, the crown prince Chu Yu showed talent, and he was still not in a hurry against the enemy, and in the end, in just a few words, he refuted the big truths that Yue left the country and defended the land of Dachu.

Suddenly, Chu Yu became famous among the people, and many people of knowledge joined him.

Gu Xici just sneered when he heard this. The prince's trick is very powerful, first he hired someone to spread the matter out of the palace, and then recruited people to say that his image was more lofty, and the people spread it by word of mouth, anyway, no one really saw how the scene was, and the people who saw it would not say, and the public opinion formed in the end would definitely go in the direction that the prince wanted.

Gu Xici was not interested in this kind of political method, but she was also relieved to know that Lu Qiu Xie Lan was gone.

That person always appeared inexplicably beside her, but whenever she did something, that person always had to be involved, which made Gu Xici a little puzzled, could it be that he had met him before?

Gu Xiqi had inquired about her previous situation with Xiaohong before, and learned that she had been living in the Netherworld Valley all along, and she never showed up at any other time except for going on a mission. If that's the case, maybe it was because she participated in a mission to leave the country and had a relationship with him.

Gu Xici didn't take these things to heart, and the biggest headache for her at present was the wedding with Chu Jin.

And the people didn't have a long time for this state affair, and they were attracted by King Zhao's imminent concubine.

Gu Xici always thought that everything would fall in love and get married naturally, and finally go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate and it would be over, at most she would invite a few relatives and friends to dinner, but she didn't have any friends by her side before. But she didn't expect that this Great Chu State still has so many courtesies for marriage.

According to what the imperial doctor said, after she woke up, she recuperated at home for a few days, and then all kinds of people from the palace measured her clothes and taught her the big wedding festival. And the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was also shrouded in red cloth.

How can I say that she is also the daughter of the prime minister, Chu Jin is also the emperor's prince, and the three media and six appointments are all the same, and every day from morning to night, Gu Xici actually feels that it is more difficult than completing a task.

The entire Prime Minister's Mansion was beaming, but Gu Xici was not very happy.

Her relationship with Chu Jin is getting closer and closer, and several times Gu Xici almost exposed her identity, but every time Chu Jin helped her finish without complaint, and he didn't want anything from her.

Gu Xici has known since he was a child that there is no profit and he can't afford to be early. Chu Jin was so kind to her for no reason, so that she gradually got used to this feeling. Not only that, every time she wanted to find some clues from Chu Jin's body, she was finally prevaricated by him, and a few times she also led the fire to herself, and Chu Jin was the main anti-guest.

She felt as if she was in a big net, and everything seemed to be going according to her thoughts, but it was always like someone was behind her manipulating it.

The previous task was completed ambiguously, and it was already the best ending for her to hide it and not expose it, but before she could take a breath, now her big wedding with Chu Jin was put on the agenda again.

And all this, including accidents, seemed to be within Chu Jin's expectations. Everything he did looked like he was uneventful, which couldn't help but make Gu Xici ponder, could it be that he had already planned all this, including accidents?

She shuddered.

Maybe she's thinking too much!

"Third girl, this is a wedding dress sent by someone from the palace, can you come out and try it?" An old woman's voice rang out outside the door.

Gu Xici couldn't help but roll her eyes, this voice was like the old woman who was taking care of her beside Li Mengyi.

She just wanted to refuse, but she didn't expect the old woman to push the door in with a few girls.

Twisting his waist and walking over to Gu Xici: "Oh, Miss San, you shouldn't be silent, I thought you weren't there!" ”

"I thought to, but you didn't give me a chance!" Gu Xici looked at her and said coldly, avoiding her powdery hands.

The woman's face was full of embarrassment, this third lady is really different from before! Ever since she was fished out of the lake that time, she has become sharp-toothed, where is she still the Gu Xici who can be ridiculed and scolded at will?

But now that people are also people with status, the mother-in-law smiled on her face and apologized: "It's the slave's fault!" The third lady's wedding is imminent, and the people in the palace sent a sample drawing, isn't this the clothes ready to be taken to the young lady to try on! Madame can say, this matter cannot be delayed! If it's not suitable, I'll send someone to change it immediately! ”

The mother-in-law chattered for a long time, and Gu Xici's face was full of impatience. What's wrong with this mother-in-law today, and she suddenly came to her with great courtesy?
