"Little, miss......" When the maid heard Chu Ci say this, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked at Xue Ling timidly, her eyes full of hesitation and pleading.

Xue Ling was looked at like this by her, and couldn't help glaring at her, and urged, "The princess asked you to get the ointment, you just go and get it, see what I do, is it possible that you want me to get it myself?" ”

The servant girl was reprimanded by Xue Ling like this, the expression on her face became even more flustered, her knees weakened, she fell to the ground with a pop, her hands fell down, she kowtowed her head with a bang, and shouted in her mouth, "Miss forgive me, Miss spare me!" ”

Xue Ling didn't expect her maid to kneel and kowtow, her eyes widened, she looked at her with a confused expression, and asked rhetorically, "Qin Fang, I just asked you to get a medicine, ......what are you doing here?"

Qin Fang was questioned by Xue Ling like this, and her face suddenly became worse, but she just refused to speak, and only kowtowed again and again, until the skin on her forehead was broken and red blood flowed out.

Xue Ling grew up with Qin Fang since she was a child, and she also has some feelings for her.

Seeing her like this, she felt uncomfortable, and was about to step forward and forcibly help Qin Fang up, but she didn't expect that she had just taken a step forward, and her wrist was grabbed by Chu Ci.

"The princess?" Xue Ling looked at Chu Ci with a puzzled expression.

Chu Ci shook his head at her, then turned to Qin Fang, who was still kowtowing, and said, "Do you know how much silver is for a bottle of medicine that you stole from?" ”

As soon as Chu Ci's words came out. Qin Fang finally stopped kowtowing.

She raised her head stiffly and looked at Chu Ci, and after a long time, her voice trembled and said tentatively, "How many ...... Dozens of taels? ”

Chu Ci hooked his lips and smiled, looked at her for a moment, and said, "Ten thousand taels!" ”

"One, ten thousand taels?!" Qin Fang's whole person was shocked, she looked at Chu Ci in disbelief, and thought about the size of the white jade bottle containing the medicine in her heart, and the whole person shook for a while, almost fainting.

Chu Ci nodded seriously at her, "Not bad." That's 10,000 taels! 10,000 taels per bottle! ”

Qin Fang seemed to be blown up by this price, she looked at Chu Cixi's lips in a daze, and after a long while, as if she had finally come back to her senses, she crawled towards Xue Ling on her knees, hugged her calves, raised her head, and cried heartbreakingly, "Miss, slave maid, slave maid really didn't know that the princess's medicine would be so expensive, slave maid is sorry for you, slave maid already knew that this medicine was so expensive, and she would never dare to knock over the medicine...... Kill the slave and the maid. The slave is willing to use this life to pay for the bottle of medicine, miss, you will kill the slave and maid......"

Xue Ling heard Qin Fang crying hoarsely like this, and then she understood why she refused to take the medicine.

"Original...... You're dropping a bottle of medicine. She lowered her head, looked at the maid who was crying at her feet, and said helplessly, then helped her up again, and said angrily, "Since you fell the medicine, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

Qin Fang sobbed, and choked up with a thick cry, "Slave, the slave maid originally wanted to save some silver, buy another bottle of the same from the princess, and return it to the young lady, but, but the slave maid never thought that the bottle of medicine would cost 10,000 taels, even if the slave maid fought for a lifetime, she couldn't save enough, and now she can only pay for her life to the young lady......"

"Fool, what do I want your life for!" Xue Ling was soft-hearted, and while taking a handkerchief to help Qin Fang wipe her tears, she said, "If the medicine falls, it will fall, you should be careful next time!" ”

"Miss......" Qin Fang didn't expect her master to let her go so easily, her eyes widened, guilty and incredulous, "But that medicine costs 10,000 taels of silver!" ”

Xue Ling patted her hand, "Money is something outside the body, you grew up with me since you were a child, this affection is not as good as 100,000 taels, let alone only 10,000 taels...... It's just that in the future, you must not be so careless again. ”

"Slave and maid savvy! Thank you, girl! Qin Fang said, kneeling down again.

Xue Ling hurriedly helped her and said, "Don't kneel, see you crying like a cat, go down and wash it!" ”

"Then, the slave will go down first!" Qin Fang said, blessing again, and then walked outside.

Xue Ling watched the maidservant leave, and then turned to Chu Ci and said, "What happened just now made the princess laugh." ”

"Where!" Chu Ci hooked his lips lightly, "The relationship between your master and servant is very good, very enviable!" ”

"The people around the princess are also good!" Xue Ling looked at the green seedlings beside Chu Ci and said with a smile.

Chu Ci heard her say this, and also looked at the green seedlings beside him, and couldn't help but think of the matter in Jinling for a while, nodded with emotion, and said, "What you said is that my family's green seedlings are very good!" ”

Qingmiao was praised by the two of them like this, and accidentally blushed.

After that, Chu Ci gave Xue Ling another bottle of medicine before packing up the medicine box and leaving.

After getting into the carriage of the Chu Mansion.

The flush on Qing Miao's face had not yet dissipated, and after Chu Ci glanced at her, he turned his head, thoughtfully lifted the curtain, and instructed Qinglong Weidao, who was accompanying him outside, "If you have time, help me check Xue Ling's personal maid Qin Fang...... Let's see if anyone around her needs soothing cream! ”

"Yes, master!" Qinglong Wei outside agreed neatly.

At the same time, Qingmiao in the car also raised her head, looked at Chu Ci in surprise, and said, "The girl suspects that Miss Xue's soothing cream was not dropped by Qin Fang, but stolen by her?" ”

Chu Ci glanced at Qing Miao, nodded and said, "Is there such a suspicion...... My gut tells me it's not easy. ”

Qingmiao frowned, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Xue Ling, "Miss Xue treats Qin Fang so well, if she really eats inside and out, and deceives her superiors and subordinates, then she will be so sorry for Miss Xue." ”

Chu Ci smiled, "That's why I have to figure things out, after all, Miss Xue is my patient, if she is short of medicine and uses the wrong medicine, it will be my brand that will be smashed at that time!" ”

"That's what the girl said!" Qingmiao nodded vigorously, looking like the most reasonable look of her girl.

Chu Ci looked at the smiling maid in front of him, thought about it, and asked, "By the way, Qingmiao, how old are you today?" ”

Qingmiao didn't expect Chu Ci to suddenly ask about her age, and hesitated slightly for a moment before speaking, "Back to the girl, the slave is sixteen today!" ”

"Hmm......" Chu Ci nodded, "Then you can stay by my side for a few years!" ”

Qingmiao heard the deep meaning of her master's words, and suddenly blushed, and didn't dare to speak for a while.

Chu Ci glanced at her with a smile and didn't speak again.

An hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Chu house.

Qingmiao Fu Chu resigned from the car, and as soon as the two of them entered the door with their front feet, Steward Wu whispered with their back feet, "Girl, when you went out, there were a few palace attendants in the house......

"The chamberlain of the palace?" Chu Ci frowned, "Did they say why they came?" ”

Steward Wu said. "The leader is a father-in-law surnamed Zhang, listening to his meaning, it seems that he came up on behalf of the emperor to urge the girl to treat Miss Huang!"

So that's it!

Chu Ci had a number in his heart, glanced at Steward Wu again, and asked, "Then now, are they in the front hall of Gonggong Zhang?" ”

Steward Wu nodded, "It's in the front hall, and the slave specially let the dumb girl wait." ”

Chu Ci bowed slightly, the dumb sister couldn't speak, so those fathers-in-law would have no way to inquire about the affairs of the Chu house, and Steward Wu could be regarded as well-intentioned.

Thinking like this, she thanked Steward Wu before walking in the direction of the front hall.

In the front hall, Zhang Gongcheng brought a few waiters he brought to drink tea.

Seeing Chu Ci leading Qingmiao in, he hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and saluted without smiling, "The slave has seen the princess, please say hello to the princess!" ”

He was together, and the fathers-in-law who were sitting below him also stood up.

Chu Ci's slightly cool gaze swept over the faces of several people, raised his hand, and said, "Several of them are the emperor's close attendants, so there is no need to be polite!" ”

"The princess is polite!" Father-in-law Zhang said again reservedly, and then stood up straight.

He was not polite, and directly asked about Chu Ci's drug test.

Chu Ci is naturally a seven-point true and three-point false compilation, "I'm really ashamed, there is no progress at the moment, but I disappointed the emperor!" ”

As soon as Gonggong Zhang heard that Chu Ci had not made the slightest progress, he immediately turned cold, looked at her and said, "Since there is no progress in testing the medicine for the emperor, how can the princess still have the leisure to go out for a stroll!" ”

In this tone, there is already a bit of accusation.

Chu Ci felt slightly uncomfortable in his heart, but thinking of the identity of the person in front of him, the Son of Heaven's close attendant, did not have a seizure, but carefully told Xue Shangshu about asking her to heal Miss Xue's face.

Originally, she thought that as Xue Shangshu's status as an important minister in the court, Zhang Gonggong would also give some face, but what she didn't expect was that after she mentioned Xue Shangshu, Zhang Gonggong's face became even darker, he glanced at her coldly, and reprimanded, "It's just the daughter of a second-grade official, where can she be as valuable as the emperor's dragon body!" The princess is a smart person, and she still has to prioritize in the future! ”

Chu Ci: "......"

In the face of such an unreasonable person, she no longer wants to continue to communicate.

But Father-in-law Zhang refused to let her go.

Seeing that she was silent, he thought that she was afraid of his status as a close servant of the Son of Heaven, so he snorted lightly and continued to preach. "According to the meaning of the slave maid, before the successful test of the medicine for the emperor, the princess should not go out again...... The princess thinks that the slave maid is arranged like this, but is it right? ”

Chu Ci took a deep breath, "You're right! ”

"In this case, the princess will go to the pharmacy now and help the emperor test the medicine!" Zhang Gonggong said again.

Chu Ci continued to take a deep breath, "Okay, I'll go!" ”

Father-in-law Zhang stood up and pressed step by step, "The slave will accompany you." ”

Chu Ci stopped abruptly, looked back at him, and asked rhetorically. "Father-in-law, are you afraid that I'll be lazy?"

"Slaves don't dare!" Father-in-law Zhang said that you were respectful, and he didn't dare to say it, but on his face, he was a little more arrogant than the proudest peacock.

didn't wait for Chu Ci to speak, and couldn't wait to urge, "Isn't the princess still leaving?" ”

Chu Ci gritted his teeth, "Then I'll go back and change my clothes first!" After speaking, without waiting for Zhang Gong to speak publicly, he turned his head and walked out.

Father-in-law Zhang also wanted to stop Chu Ci and advised her to hurry up, it was okay if she didn't change her clothes, but Chu Ci didn't give him a chance to speak, and he walked faster than a rabbit!

"Girl. That Father-in-law Zhang is too much! I don't know, I thought he was the head of the cell, and the girl was a prisoner, so strict! On the way back to Xie Xie's resignation, Qingmiao had an annoyed smile and complained angrily.

Chu Ci smiled sideways at her and reminded, "Don't say that, be careful that the wall has ears!" ”

Hearing Chu Ci say this, Qingmiao hurriedly covered his mouth, his eyes dripping and looking around. After making sure that there was no one around, he put his hand down, and caught up with Chu Ci, who had already strode away, in three steps and two steps. He lowered his voice and asked, "Is the girl going to endure it like this?" ”

Chu Ci was still smiling, and he couldn't see the slightest annoyance, "Naturally, I won't bear it!" ”

"What do you mean by that girl......" Aomiao asked hurriedly.

Chu Ci hooked his lips, "You'll know when the time comes!" ”

Saying that, the two of them had already arrived at the Thanksgiving House.

However, after Chu Ci entered the door, he did not change his clothes, but went straight to the bed of the two little babies.

The two little darlings had grown up for a few more months, and now they were more fluent in their speech, and when they saw her come in, they shouted from afar, "Mother! Mother! ”

Chu Ci stopped next to the bed. leaned over and kissed Xiao'er, and then kissed Xin'er.

Xiao Er and Xin Er didn't see their parents for a day and a night, and they also thought about it so badly, both of them refused to let go of Chu Ci.

Chu Ci also wanted to accompany the two little babies more.

So, Zhang's father-in-law, who was still waiting outside, was unconsciously forgotten by her......

It wasn't until two quarters of an hour later that there was a commotion outside.

As if she remembered something, she raised her head and looked at Zhe Jindao, "Go and see, what's going on outside!" ”

"Yes, girl!" Zhejin agreed, and was about to turn around and leave.

But who knows, she hasn't gone out yet. The curtain of the bedroom was lifted.

Then, Gonggong Zhang walked in from the outside with a gloomy face, holding Shang Fang's sword in his hand......

"Grandpa Zhang's business?" Chu Ci let go of the two children, stood up, looked at Gonggong Zhang, who was getting closer and closer to her, and asked awe-inspiringly.

After Gonggong Zhang stood still in front of her, he lifted his lower lip coldly and said, "Did the princess forget anything important?" ”

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows, "Father-in-law Zhang might as well say it directly!" ”

"Okay, the princess is quick to talk, and the slave and maid won't hide it!" Father-in-law Zhang said. He glanced at her gloomily again, and said, "In the front hall just now, the slave reminded you that nothing is as important as the emperor's dragon body at the moment, so did the princess forget it?" Do you know that if you delay for two and a half quarters and a half hours, the emperor will have to suffer for a few more days? ”

"Then according to what Father-in-law Zhang said, I should not do anything, just wait in the pharmacy to try the medicine for the emperor?" Chu Ci asked coldly.

Gonggong Zhang snorted, "This is how it should be, the emperor's dragon body is more important than anything else!" ”

“……”

Chu Ci was silent.

Gonggong Zhang's chin was raised even higher, "If the princess has no other opinions." Shall we go now? ”

Chu Ci glanced up at Gonggong Zhang, and suddenly asked, "Did the emperor send his father-in-law to watch me test the medicine?" ”

Grandpa Zhang didn't think about it, so he nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

"So, as long as I'm in the pharmacy, my father-in-law has to keep looking at the prescription?"

"Exactly!"

"In that case, let's go!" Chu Ci said, glanced at Zhe Jin and Yun Niang soothingly, and walked outside with his legs.

A sneer curled up at the corner of Zhang's lips, and he kept following for a moment.

Chu Ci went directly to the pharmacy with a few fathers-in-law who came with him.

As she entered, she pointed to the opposite south wall and said. "Just stand here and watch!"

Gonggong Zhang didn't refute this, and took a few people behind him and walked towards the south wall that Chu Ci pointed to!

They stood still in rows under the south wall.

On the other hand, Chu Ci also began to observe the mold she had cultivated before, she was the kind of person who would forget the time when she was doing the right thing.

I watched the daylight cast on the window shift little by little.

Chu Ci didn't mean to raise his head at all, but the fathers-in-law standing under the south wall next to him couldn't bear it.

Two hours later, Chu Ci had already changed hands and began to mix the ointment, and the fathers-in-law also moved slightly.

They originally thought that when it was time for dinner, Chu Ci would stop.

But no one expected that until it was dark, Chu Ci had no intention of resting, outside, Aunt Wu had reminded her, but Chu Ci sent people away directly under the pretext of not being hungry.

At night, Chu Ci was still very energetic.

But the fathers-in-law who were used to being pampered were like frosted eggplants, and they kept glancing at the Minister Zhang Gong who was the leader.

Gonggong Zhang saw the exhaustion of several subordinates in his eyes, but he was unwilling to give in to Chu. He pretended not to see the pleading eyes of several subordinates, but instead glared at them fiercely and motioned them to stand up straighter.

Several fathers-in-law had no choice but to be hungry and straighten their waists. Continue to stand.

And just like that, a long night passed.

By the dawn of the second day, several fathers-in-law had reached the end of the crossbow, but on the other hand, Chu Ci, who was adjusting the ointment, was in high spirits, as if he would not be tired if he persisted for another three days.

After a night, in fact, Grandpa Zhang was also tired.

But he thought of his coercion of Chu Ci yesterday, and he didn't dare to step forward and beg her to let them rest.

Gritting his teeth, he could only continue to stand along.

At the end, several of them were leaning against the wall, their legs as if they were unconscious.

After dawn, Aunt Wu asked Chu to quit for breakfast as usual.

Several fathers-in-law heard Aunt Wu's voice, as if they had heard some heavenly sound.

Meantime. looked at Chu Ci with an expectant face, and expected her to put down the things in her hand and say yes.

But what disappointed them was that Chu Ci seemed to be really not sleepy or hungry, and refused Aunt Wu without raising his head.

Outside, Aunt Wu wanted to persuade again, but was stopped by Qingmiao.

Qingmiao pulled her to the side and whispered, "Aunt Wu, you don't need to persuade the girl, the girl must have other ideas in her heart, if you are really worried about the girl, it is better to go back and prepare a few more things to eat." When the time comes, the girl will come out! ”

"Is that so?" Aunt Wu looked at Qingmiao worriedly and asked.

Qingmiao nodded again and again, approached Aunt Wu again, and said, "Those fathers-in-law are so annoying, the girl said that she would teach them a lesson, let's not ruin the girl's plan!" ”

"That's right...... There is some truth to what you say! Aunt Wu wrinkled her eyebrows and nodded.

But having said that, she still felt a little relieved in her heart, and ran to the door of the pharmacy to ask a few words, and made sure that Chu Ci really didn't eat, so she went back to the small kitchen......

Behind Aunt Wu, several fathers-in-law listened to the footsteps that were gradually moving away, as if the hope in their hearts had also followed. It's not okay to be distressed.

But Chu Ci on the other side was expressionless, still serious about medicine.

Father-in-law Zhang looked at this scene, and his face turned blue.

But he just held his breath and refused to give in to Chu Ci.

The sun rises and the moon sets.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

By the morning of the third day, there was no other color on Grandpa Zhang's face, only a little white.

And the father-in-law around him was even worse, they couldn't stand up straight for a long time, and both legs were stiff and swollen......

Just when they couldn't hold on any longer, outside, Aunt Wu's worried voice came in again, "Girl, it's been three days, it's time for you to come out for breakfast......"

Hearing this, Chu Ci raised his head, and was about to refuse.

But who knows, before she could speak, the knees of several fathers-in-law standing against the south wall suddenly weakened, and they knelt down without warning.

Because they were kneeling at the same time, the sound was inevitably louder.

Outside, Aunt Wu thought that something had happened to Chu Ci, so she broke into the door directly, called "girl" worriedly, ran over to Chu Ci, held her hand, looked her up and down, and asked anxiously, "Girl, are you okay?" You don't know, that sound just now scared me to death! ”

"I'm fine!" Chu Ci raised his hand and gently patted Aunt Wu's hand holding her arm.

After speaking, he raised his head again, looked at the fathers-in-law kneeling under the south wall, and said with a smile, "They are the ones who have something!" ”

"Them?" Aunt Wu followed Chu Ci's gaze and looked at several fathers-in-law, then raised her eyebrows and said, "Then the loud noise just now......

"It's the sound of them kneeling!" Chu Ci explained lightly.

After speaking. He looked at the father-in-law who were already dying, and said, "How many of you...... Is this untenable? ”

When several fathers-in-law heard Chu Ci's question, they were about to cry, and they didn't look at Father-in-law Zhang's face, but just arched their hands and said, "The princess is forgiving, the slaves really can't stand it...... You, you've been busy for three days and three nights, and it's time to rest......"

"But didn't Grandpa Zhang say that everything should be the emperor's dragon body first, and nothing else should be a problem?" Chu Ci said, his sharp eyes staring straight at Gonggong Zhang.

Gonggong Zhang stood for three days and three nights, and his spirit was extremely poor. Now that Chu Ci saw him like this, the whole person immediately shook, and he bit his lip hard, still not wanting to be convinced.

Seeing this, Chu Ci laughed coldly, "It seems that Gonggong Zhang doesn't know what is wrong, so it's okay...... Then let's continue to test the medicine for the emperor, and come back for another three or five days, anyway, I will insist on it, but you ......"

She didn't finish the last sentence, but a few fathers-in-law understood it better than anyone else!
