When Chu Ci heard that Ah Tang had woken up, he nodded to Concubine Ning, and walked towards the brocade couch.
"Tangerine, what do you think now?" After standing still on the side of the brocade couch, she looked at the frail Ah Tang and asked in a low voice.
Ah Tang shook his head, "The slave is fine. ”
Then he asked, "What about Celestia?" How is he? Is there something wrong? ”
"The silver needle on Celestia Celestia's head has been pulled out, and she will probably wake up tomorrow." Chu Ci looked at her and said soothingly.
When Ah Tang heard that the eldest princess was fine, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Chu Ci with a weak face, and said gratefully, "The princess's kindness to the eldest princess is unforgettable...... In the future, if necessary, the slave and maid will definitely tie the grass ring in order to repay it! ”
"You're seriously injured, don't think about it so much, let's rest first." Chu Ci said to her gently, raised his hand and flicked it in front of her, and Ah Tang fell asleep again.
Zhi Jin saw Ah Cheng fall asleep, and saw that Chu Ci seemed to be tired between his eyebrows, his thin lips pursed slightly, and he walked towards Ning Concubine, and said, "Niangniang, my girl is tired after being busy for so long, can you let someone take her to rest for a while?" ”
When Concubine Ning heard Zhi Jin say this, she smiled awkwardly as if she remembered something, and said a little out of shape, "Yes, yes, this is how it should be, but this palace is negligent." This palace will let people take you and Miss Chu down to rest. ”
After speaking, he called out "Little Pillar".
The next moment, the little eunuch who had opened the door for Chu Ci and a few people walked in from outside.
Neatly snorted, looked at Concubine Ning and said, "I don't know what Niangniang commands?" ”
Concubine Ning smiled reluctantly, looked at Chu Ci and said. "It's late at night, you take Miss Chu and Miss Zhejin to the Xibei Palace to rest...... Call Ah Cheng up again, let her be sure to serve her well, and never snub Miss Chu. ”
"Yes, sis!" Xiao Zhuzi replied respectfully, turned his head to Chu Ci and Zhejin, and said, "The princess and the girl Zhejin please come with the minions, and the minions will take the two to the West Side Palace." ”
"Hmm." Chu Ci responded, and explained to Concubine Ning that there was something to call her, and then walked out with Zhejin.
Concubine Ning is a woman who is as rich as an orchid, and even if the west side hall of Fanghua Hall has not been inhabited, it is still clean.
The small pillar sent Chu Ci and the two of them to the back. He bowed down and withdrew, and went to call another palace maid, Ah Cheng, on the order of Concubine Ning.
Ah Cheng also knew that the Fanghua Hall had been eventful recently, and he didn't sleep too hard, so he listened to the little pillar report that the master had instructions, and immediately got up from the bed, cleaned up briefly, and went to the West Side Palace.
When she arrived, Zhejin just helped Chu Ci untie her bun.
Seeing this, Ah Cheng smiled and said, "The slave maid went to fetch water for the princess, and the princess was tired for a day, so she soaked her feet and slept more comfortably." ”
Chu Ci looked at her. smiled mildly and said "There is labor".
Under the service of Zhejin and Ah Cheng, Chu Ci quickly packed up and fell asleep.
A good night's sleep.
The next day, Chu Ci slept until dawn and woke up naturally.
As soon as I woke up, I saw Zhejin sitting on the edge of the bed.
Chu Ci raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, closed his eyes and thought for a while before he realized that she was now in the Fanghua Hall of Ning Concubine.
"What time is it?" Putting down her hand and sitting up, she looked at Zhejin and asked.
Zhijin stepped forward to serve Chu Ci to change his clothes, and replied in a warm voice, "It's the end of the hour." ”
Chu Ci nodded.
Now wash up, eat, and rush to Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Ren should just wake up.
Zhejin is accustomed to serving Chu Ci, and soon helped her get dressed and comb her hair.
At this time, Ah Cheng also brought breakfast from the imperial dining room, and after setting it up, he said to Chu with some embarrassment, "Our master has always had no quarrel with the world, and the rules are simpler, but he has wronged the princess." ”
"It doesn't matter." Chu Ci smiled, didn't care about the porridge and side dishes in front of him, took the chopsticks handed by Zhejin and ate them.
After breakfast, she went to see the eldest princess again, touched the eldest princess and felt that the eldest princess had a fever, left a prescription and a bottle of pills, and then said goodbye to Concubine Ning and left the Fanghua Palace.
Wait until you return to Cining Palace.
The first to catch up was Aunt Ju Rui.
Chu Ci followed her and walked in, and said, "Auntie, has the Queen Mother woken up?" ”
Aunt Ju Rui shook her head lightly and said in a low voice, "Thanks to the acupuncture of the princess, it is rare for the mother to sleep so peacefully. ”
Chu Ci nodded.
Aunt Ju Rui asked again, "The princess came here so early, did she have breakfast?" If not, the small kitchen has just made milk custard, so you can try the taste. ”
Hearing her say this, Chu Ci shook his head, "Thank you aunt for your care, I have already used it in Fanghua Palace." ”
Aunt Ju Rui didn't speak again.
The Queen Mother didn't wake up, so she could only settle Chu Ci in the side hall and wait.
It wasn't until half an hour later that Empress Dowager Ren woke up and led Chu Ci inside.
In the dormitory, the Queen Mother slept peacefully after a night, and her complexion did not know how much better.
When Chu Ci entered, she was taking a self-portrait in the mirror, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Seeing that she was satisfied, the corners of Chu Ci's mouth also raised slightly, and he stepped forward and said, "Ah Ci greets the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is auspicious." ”
When Empress Dowager Ren heard Chu Ci's voice, she handed the mirror to Chu Ci, slowly raised her head, and looked at her, "Ah Ci is here!" ”
Chu Ci nodded, paused, and asked again, "I wonder how the Queen Mother slept last night?" ”
"Good." A trace of smile lines appeared in the corners of the Queen Mother's eyes, she beckoned Chu Ci to the front, held her hand, and said softly, "You don't know, how many years have the mourning family not slept so well...... Last night, the mourning family was really satisfied. ”
"It's good that the Queen Mother is satisfied." Chu Ci nodded.
When Empress Dowager Ren heard this, her eyes flashed slightly, and she held her hand and said, "But Ah Ci, you are the princess of the Nanjun Palace, and you are not the imperial doctor in the palace, and the mourning family can't recruit you into the palace every day to help the mourning family with acupuncture." ”
The implication is that he wants Chu Ci to take the initiative to hand over the line needle context diagram.
When Chu Ci heard her say this, his eyelids moved slightly, as if he didn't hear what the Queen Mother meant, and only said with a smile, "It's a blessing for Ah Ci to be able to share the worries of the Queen Mother, even if he enters the palace every day for the Queen Mother's acupuncture, Ah Ci has no complaints." ”
"It's a pity that the family is reluctant to let you go back and forth, even your father-in-law Lu Xiaojunwang, I'm afraid I can't bear you to enter the palace every day......" The Queen Mother continued to persuade earnestly.
Chu Ci frowned, looked at the Empress Dowager Ren thoughtfully, and muttered softly, "Then what should I do?" ”
Empress Dowager Ren listened to her whispering, pretended to think seriously for a while, and then proposed, "Otherwise, you will hand over this set of acupuncture to Liang Yizheng, so that the mourning family will remember your love, and you will not have to enter the palace every day." ”
"Give it to Liang Yizheng?" Chu Ci frowned, obviously reluctant.
When the Queen Mother saw her like this, the five fingers in her sleeves were suddenly closed, but her face was even more kind, and there was a faint hint of resentment, "What, don't you want to?" ”
Chu Ci's face was even more hesitant, and he opened his mouth, which was very embarrassing. "Yes...... After all, this is my family's secret art. ”
"A family heirloom?" A dark color flashed on Empress Dowager Ren's face, and she casually tried to do it, "Then I don't know which elder you learned this secret technique from?" ”
Chu Ci let the Queen Mother get to the bottom of it, the expression on his face suddenly turned cold, and his tone stiffened, "Does the Queen Mother have to ask me to hand over this secret technique?" ”
Empress Dowager Ren saw Chu Ci's face change, and she no longer held back, so she simply said directly, "Your secret technique can be used by the royal family, which is your blessing, if you insist on going your own way and refuse to teach it to the imperial doctor, then the mourning family can only go to Nanjun Wang and his wife." ”
What she said in her mouth was begging, but there was no hint of begging on her face.
More than that, but a threat.
After hearing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but fall silent.
There was a deep resentment in his eyes.
After a long time, he said with a cold face, "Since the Queen Mother wants it so sincerely, I will teach it." ”
"The mourning family asked Liang Yizheng to come over." As the Queen Mother spoke, she glanced at Aunt Jianmei.
Aunt Jianmei understood and went out to ask Liang Yizheng.
In the dormitory, behind the screen, only Chu Ci and Empress Dowager Ren remained.
Empress Dowager Ren saw that Chu Ci's face was not good, and she got what she wanted, and after thinking about it, she still said something to appease her, "This kindness of yours will be remembered by the mourning family." ”
Chu Ci shook his head, "Between me and the Queen Mother, it's better to calculate one yard at a time." ”
"What do you mean by that?" The Queen Mother's face stiffened slightly, and she asked with a calm face.
Chu Ci smiled coldly, "I can teach the secret technique to Liang Yizheng, but not for nothing, but for sale." ”
"Sell?" The Queen Mother repeated the word.
Chu Ci nodded, paused, and said, "The Queen Mother is a body of ten thousand gold, and I will ask for ten thousand gold for this secret technique, do you think it's good?" ”
Empress Dowager Ren listened to Chu Ci Lion's mouth open wide, her face turned black all of a sudden, looked at her, gritted her teeth and said, "Chu Ci, don't you think your tone is too big?" ”
"You don't want to buy it!" Chu Ci sneered, "Even if you don't have any money, you are still the queen mother, can I still buy and sell with you?!" ”
"You!" The Queen Mother was speechless angrily.
Chu Ci snorted coldly, and said, "Don't think about threatening me with the Nanjun Palace, I might as well tell you today...... If you dare to touch a person surnamed Lu, I will dare to let the bones of ten people surnamed Ren be gone. If you dare to move the whole family of the Nanjun Palace, I will dare to move the nine clans of the Chengenhou Mansion. ”
"You! Do you know who you're talking to?! Empress Dowager Ren was even more angry.
But Chu Ci didn't seem to see her suddenly pale face, and only warned her solemnly, "You'd better remember the word I said...... Don't challenge my bottom line, otherwise, I will make you, and all the people you care about, worse than death! ”
Empress Dowager Ren: "......"
Why is this little slut so rampant.
But on the contrary, she was afraid of the poison in her hand and did not dare to confront her.
In the end, you can only knock out your teeth and swallow blood," you said. The mourning family has remembered that your secret technique, the mourning family bought it. ”
After that, Aunt Jianmei, who had just come in, endured her anger, "Go, bring the treasure chest on the top floor of the Duobao Pavilion to the mourning family." ”
"Yes, sissy." Jian Mei agreed, and walked towards the Duobao Pavilion behind her.
After getting the box, he personally delivered it to the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Ren opened the treasure chest, took out 100,000 taels of silver tickets from it with a gloomy face, handed it to Chu Ci, and said, "Give!" I hope you will be the talker. ”
"I'm naturally good at talking!" Chu Ci accepted the silver ticket with a faint smile. After counting the numbers, they were then thrown to the brocade.
The Queen Mother looked at her casual appearance, and her angry face turned a little pale.
Two quarters of an hour later, Doctor Liang was hurrying over.
Chu Ci borrowed a pen and paper from Aunt Jianmei, gave Liang Yizheng the diagram of the line of needles, and explained it to him in detail.
After listening to this, Doctor Liang's eyes lit up, and he said continuously, "Exquisite, really exquisite, thank you for the teaching." ”
Chu Ci looked at Liang Yizheng, smiled inexplicably, and curled his lips. "Doctor Liang is thanking the wrong person, the person you should thank is the Queen Mother."
When Liang Yizheng heard this, although he didn't understand the meaning of Chu Ci, he still respectfully bowed to the Queen Mother and thanked him repeatedly.
After the Queen Mother listened, the blue on her face became heavier.
In his heart, he scolded Chu Ci with blood, but he couldn't say a word on his face.
And Chu Ci, the task of entering the palace this time has been completed, stepped forward and said goodbye to the Empress Dowager Ren with a smile.
Empress Dowager Ren hated to death in her heart, but she had to order Aunt Jianmei, who relied on her most, to send Chu Ci out.
Aunt Jianmei has always listened to the Queen Mother's words. He kept sending Chu Ci out of Cining Palace before stopping.
"The slave maid still has to serve the queen mother, I will send you here today, and the princess will go slowly." Aunt Jianmei stopped at the gate of Cining Palace, blessed, and said softly to Chu Ci.
Hearing this, Chu Ci glanced at her more.
Then, a frown said, "Auntie, has she often had insomnia recently, her hands and feet are cold, and she can't get out of bed at all?" ”
Aunt Jianmei was stunned for a moment, and then showed a hint of surprise. "How does the princess know?"
Chu Ci pointed to his eyes, "Look, hear, ask, the first word...... I just knew. ”
"Does the princess have a cure for such symptoms?" Aunt Jianmei asked anxiously and eagerly.
Chu Ci squinted and smiled, "What do you say?" ”
When the words fell, he turned around and left.
Aunt Jianmei saw her walking far away, and her heart was unbearable.
I wanted to catch up, but I didn't dare when I thought of my identity.
In the end, he could only sigh, turned around and returned to Cining Palace.
She thought that Chu Ci's question outside Cining Palace was just deliberately teasing, but who knew that half an hour later, she was waiting in front of the Queen Mother. Aunt Ju Rui walked in with a prescription.
In front of the Queen Mother, he handed it to her and said, "Sister Jianmei, this is the recipe given to you by the princess...... Say what buy one get one free. ”
Buy one, get one free.
When the Empress Dowager Ren on the bed heard these four words, she immediately became angry.
His eyes were sharp and sharp as a blade, and he looked at Aunt Jianmei.
When Aunt Jianmei saw that her master was angry, she also understood what was going on, so she hurriedly knelt on the ground, pleaded guilty like her own master, and said sincerely and eagerly, "The Queen Mother Mingjian, slave maid, slave maid don't know either...... Why would the princess send such a prescription...... Queen Mother Mingjian, the slave really doesn't know! ”
"Ju Rui. You said! The Queen Mother didn't look at Aunt Jianmei again, but looked at Ju Rui with a calm face, pointed at her and drank in a low voice.
When Ju Rui heard this, she immediately knelt down, put her hands on the ground, looked at the eyes of the Empress Dowager Ren, and said truthfully, "Back to Niangniang's words, when Sister Jianmei sent the princess out, she talked to the princess for a long time outside the Cining Palace, and the princess always had a faint smile on her face...... Sister Jianmei turned her back to the slave, but the slave couldn't see her face. ”
The Queen Mother listened to Ju Rui. Snorted coldly, and looked at Aunt Jianmei's eyes even colder, "What else do you have to say!" ”
Aunt Jianmei opened her mouth to explain.
The Queen Mother waved her hand again, "Okay, the mourning family is tired, you don't have to say more, let Ju Rui serve in the dormitory in the future, and you will serve in the outer hall." ”
When Aunt Jianmei heard the Queen Mother say this, tears flowed out at once.
The Queen Mother had no patience to watch her play loyalty, and with a wave of her hand, someone stepped forward and dragged her out.
Ju Rui watched Jian Mei being dragged out, and her face turned slightly pale.
The Queen Mother looked at her quail guts, but she was rarely satisfied, glanced at her, and said without anger, "Come here, help the mourning family pinch their legs." ”
"Yes, sissy." Aunt Ju Rui answered and walked forward in small steps......
Outside the palace.
Chu Ci and Zhe Jin, the three of Zhe Xia's master and servant got into the carriage back to the Nanjun Palace.
Zhi Jincai patted his chest, and said fearfully, "The girl was in Cining Palace just now, why did she suddenly change her face, you talk to the Queen Mother like that, the slave is really afraid that the Queen Mother will be angry." ”
When Chu Ci heard this, he glanced at her with a smile. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Girl, you are wrong, with the queen mother's scheming and suspicion." If I change my face, she will believe that the secret technique I handed over is true, if I don't change my face and hand it over honestly, we will really not be able to get out of Cining Palace. ”
Hearing Chu Ci say this, Zhe Jin's brows furrowed tightly.
After a while, he figured out the meaning of Chu Ci's words, and then said with a smile, "Later, the prescription of buying one and getting one free was to separate the Queen Mother and Aunt Jianmei......
Chu Ci heard Zhi Jin mention his son who was separated. He smiled and said, "It's not too far to be separated, I just want to give Ju Rui a few chances to see if she can grasp it." ”
Zhejin heard Chu Ci mention Jurui.
I remembered what I promised Ju Rui last night.
couldn't help but speak, "Then should we go back to the house first, or go to Aunt Jurui's house first?" ”
"Where is her home?" Chu Ci asked sideways.
Last night, when Aunt Ju Rui left Fanghua Palace, she left the address of her home to Zhejin.
Zhejin said, "In Huangjiao Village in the west of the city, at the west end of the village, the last household, the one with a big locust tree in front of the door." ”
Chu Ci nodded. "Since you have promised her, let's go to Huangjiao Village in the west of the city first!"
Zhejin said "um", leaned forward again, and instructed the horseman who was driving, "Don't go back to the Nanjun Wangfu first, go to Huangjiao Village in the west of the city." ”
"Yes, Orijin girl!" The groom agreed, turned the corner in front of him, and headed for the west of the city.
An hour and a half later, the carriage stopped in the village of Huangjiao.
Because the road in Huangjiao Village is narrow and it has just rained, the only small road is extremely muddy, and the carriage cannot enter it at all.
No way. The groom had no choice but to ask her to walk into the village.
Chu Ci listened to the groom's words, but he was not pretentious, jumped out of the carriage with the wheel, and walked towards the west of the village with the two maidservants.
When I arrived at the west end of the village, I saw a large locust tree that was hundreds of years old.
Behind the locust tree is a family.
The chai door was lightly covered, and the sounds of various domestic animals in the yard could be faintly heard.
She glanced at the two maidservants, and Zhexia immediately stepped forward to call the door.
After about a cup of tea, a simple wooden door was pulled open from the inside, accompanied by the weak voice of a little girl.
Then, a clear face was revealed, which was four or five points similar to the chrysanthemum in the palace, and then looked at the age, like her sister.
"Is this Luo Ju's home?" Zhexia looked at the little girl standing against the door and asked coldly.
Ju Rui is the name given by the master after entering the palace, and she is called Luo Ju before she enters the palace.
Luo Mei heard Zhe Xia ask like this, but her eyes were wide, and there was a trace of anger between her eyebrows, and she said fiercely, "No, this is not Luo Ju's home, you go!" Tell that heartless woman that the Luo family will no longer have her daughter in the future! ”
After saying that, he closed the door with a snap.
Chu Ci looked at this scene, his brows furrowed tightly.
This...... It doesn't seem to be quite the same as Ju Rui's description.
She said that she and her mother and sister depend on each other, and the relationship between the three is very good......
But judging from the current situation, her sister doesn't want to see her sister at all, or rather, I should say hate her sister.
What's going on with all this?
Is it Ju Rui lying, or is there some misunderstanding in it!
Thinking like this, an old man's voice suddenly came from behind her, and when she turned around, she saw an old woman with a charitable face looking at her with a complicated face, for a long time. Only then did he ask tentatively, "Girl, are you a friend of Luo Ju, the eldest daughter of the Luo family?" ”
"I am, what's wrong?" Chu Ci took a few steps closer to the old man, looked at her, and said truthfully with a puzzled expression, "I was entrusted by Sister Luo Ju to come to see her family, but I don't know why, as soon as her sister heard Sister Luo Ju's name, she became angry, let alone give a good face, even the door didn't let me approach?" ”
"Alas......"
The old woman listened to her. A long sigh.
Then, he said, "Actually, it's no wonder that Luo Mei girl, it's all Luo Ju's sin!" ”
"Oh? What's going on? Chu Ci helped the old woman and asked again.
After hearing this, the old woman seemed to be weak in physical strength, so she led Chu Ci to the big bluestone under the old locust tree on the side, and the two sat down on the big bluestone......
It turned out that before Ju Rui entered the palace, her father had passed away for many years, and she had always been dependent on her mother and sister.
At first, she and her mother slurred laundry, sewed things, and planted some wasteland, and life was passable.
But later, one winter was very cold, and Luo's mother fell ill.
In fact, it is also an ordinary wind cold, if you take medicine well, you will not fall into any disease.
But for the sake of her two daughters, Luo's mother was reluctant to spend money on medicine.
stunned to carry the ordinary wind and cold into tuberculosis......
And Luo Ju and Luo Mei tried any way to make money for their mother's illness.
In the end, he still couldn't afford his mother's medicine money, and later it happened that the palace sent an imperial list to select palace maids, and those who could be selected would have a large amount of silver to sell their bodies, and Luo Ju sold himself for that amount of silver, planning to use the silver to treat his mother.
But who knows, after she entered the palace, the silver also disappeared with her. He was not sent back to his home in Huangjiao Village.
