The fourth prince stood under the willow tree outside Fengyang Pavilion, and when he saw the fourth princess coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Li'er, why are your eyes red, didn't you say that you want to have dinner at Sister Mingruo's?" ”

After the third prince was grounded by Emperor Xiaowu and Cheng Xi left first, the two of them were worried that they would be implicated, and the four princesses volunteered to go to Fengyang Pavilion to inquire about the situation, but the four princes still didn't worry about her, so they followed her to wait outside Fengyang Pavilion.

When the fourth princess heard the question, she only shook her head and said nothing, and when she walked to a secluded place where there was no one else, she grabbed the sleeve of the fourth prince's coat and said in a panic: "Brother Du, I think we should not provoke Sister Mingruo." ”

Because of these words, the fourth prince was also a little nervous, he stopped and asked, "Why do you say that, did Sister Mingruo tell you something?" ”

The fourth princess looked around cautiously, and when she saw that no one was passing by, she whispered to the four princes about what happened in Fengyang Pavilion.

After listening to this, the fourth prince was silent for a moment, and then said angrily: "A few days ago, I heard the third sister explain that if the younger sister has changed, now it seems that there has indeed been a change, and it has become more fierce and brutal than before, and the six relatives do not recognize it!" ”

The fourth princess tugged at his sleeve and motioned for him to be careful that the wall had ears.

The fourth prince gently patted the back of the fourth princess and comforted: "Don't be afraid, Li'er, what she did like that was nothing more than to take advantage of the injury of the proton of Xinyang Kingdom to establish her prestige as Princess Mingruo in front of us, it seems that it will be a little difficult to use it for us in the future." ”

Not only is it a little difficult, the fourth princess thought of the strange appearance that was vaguely detected in the imperial garden, and the demonic attitude shown by Cheng Xi today, it was obviously even more difficult to deal with.

After the warning by the pond, the four princes and the four princesses have no movement, and Cheng Xi believes that there will be no more ill-intentioned people to harass her for the time being, and she is happy to be idle.

It takes half a month from the first round of the preliminary round to the finals of the martial arts conference, and Emperor Xiaowu and Concubine Liu Defei sent people to watch the battle several times, but she found a reason to push it off, so it is better to stay in the courtyard to read calligraphy and paintings, and occasionally cook a dessert in person.

As soon as she came out of the croquettes, Cheng Xi saw Shui Yue leading Imperial Doctor Zhang to the direction of the side hospital, and she immediately put the snacks into the food box and followed.

Walking into the courtyard, Shui Yue was sitting bored on the steps throwing stones, and when she saw Cheng Xi coming in, she hurriedly greeted her and said, "Princess, Imperial Doctor Zhang is treating Ji Gongzi's injuries in the room." ”

Cheng Xi couldn't help frowning when he saw that the door was closed, but he couldn't do anything else, so he sat on the steps with Shui Yue and waited for the result.

Imperial Doctor Zhang bandaged Ji Chengjin's wound again, prescribed a prescription and handed it to Liuguang, and told Ji Chengjin to rest more before leaving, and when he went out, he saw the vicious princess in the palace, who was sitting on the steps with his maid, and was immediately stunned on the spot, and forgot to salute for a while.

Cheng Xi heard the voice, turned around and saw Imperial Doctor Zhang coming out, quickly stood up, glanced into the room, and asked, "It's okay, right?" ”

The dagger didn't go too deep, and the position didn't hurt the vital point, and it was obvious that the person who hurt him didn't want to take his life, but just wanted him to taste the bitterness.

Imperial Physician Zhang saluted Cheng Xi: "Back to the princess, the son's injury is no longer serious, and he will be able to heal after a while." ”

Cheng Xi nodded, and was about to enter the room to see Ji Chengjin, when he saw that Imperial Physician Zhang wanted to speak and stopped, he stopped and said, "If Imperial Physician Zhang has something to say, just say it." ”

Imperial Physician Zhang originally didn't want to care about the rights and wrongs in these deep palaces, but he had witnessed the large and small scars on the proton of Xinyang Kingdom many times, and after hesitating, he risked offending the princess, and decided to persuade him.

"Princess, Xia Guan has something to say, the prince has been injured too much, if it goes on like this, it will be difficult for his body to recover, and he is also the prince of Xinyang Kingdom, and I hope the princess can show mercy."

The meaning of these words is nothing more than accusing Cheng Xi of deceiving people too much, Shui Yue was about to step forward to defend it, but she saw Cheng Xi raise her hand to stop her, and said politely: "What Imperial Doctor Zhang taught me is that this princess will pay attention in the future." ”

Cheng Xi understands that Imperial Physician Zhang is the heart of a doctor's parents, and many imperial physicians with superb medical skills have seen too much dirtiness in the court, either colluding with the dirt or keeping their mouths shut.

Imperial Physician Zhang didn't expect Cheng Xi to agree so readily, and he was quite surprised, so he didn't say anything more and left.

Shui Yue went to see Imperial Doctor Zhang, Streamer followed back to Tai Hospital to get medicine, and quiet returned to the side hospital, Cheng Xi stood at the door for a while, and then stepped in, and saw Ji Chengjin leaning against the head of the bed at a glance, not reading for the first time, but contemplating.

"Yo, Ji Gongzi is really resting obediently after listening to the words of the imperial doctor today."

She cheered up and walked over, put the food box on the small table on the side, and teased Ji Chengjin with a smile, she listened to what Imperial Doctor Zhang said just now, and her heart was inexplicably a little sore, and she was a little panicked.

Ji Chengjin raised his head when he heard this, and said, "If I don't take care of my injuries, I'm afraid that I will become a short-lived ghost in the future." ”

Unexpectedly, Ji Chengjin would say such a long paragraph, Cheng Xi's feeling of being a little sad just now also turned into curiosity, she sat on the low stool next to the bed, and said: "Bah, bah, quickly spit out these words, Ji Gongzi, don't say such unlucky words, you have to live a long life." ”

If he really died so early, whoever increased her health would not have died with her!

"Why?" Ji Chengjin raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Because, because ......" couldn't say that Ji Chengjin was her blood tonic tool, Cheng Xi could only find other reasons, but other reasons were not enough, after thinking about it, he decided to say it bluntly, "Because you are very important to me." ”

Ji Chengjin saw that Cheng Xi's words were vague, and suspected that she had other plans, but she had not yet understood the specific details, and was tempting, but it was really against etiquette to hear her say such bold words.

Cheng Xi saw that Ji Chengjin's face changed color instantly, and her eyes began to flicker, realizing that this sentence seemed to be somewhat ambiguous, she pretended to be embarrassed, and opened her mouth to explain: "I mean, I haven't played enough!" ”

"Play? Dare to ask the princess, how do you want to play? ”

Hearing this sentence popping out of Ji Chengjin's mouth word by word, the more she listened to it, the more wrong it became, she shook her head and said, "That's not what I said, in fact, use it, no, this statement is weird." ”

Cheng Xi was thinking about what words should be used to express the meaning reasonably, when the streamer's voice sounded outside, she seemed to be relieved, and hurriedly beckoned the streamer to decoction Ji Chengjin, and then put out the croquettes in the food box.

"Ji Gongzi, remember to eat Coke cakes after drinking the medicine, so that it won't be too bitter."

Seeing Ji Chengjin looking at himself, Cheng Xi picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and after eating it in three or two, he said contentedly: "Ji Gongzi, do you know why it's called a croquette?" Because it's so delicious, you'll be happy when you finish it, so if you don't believe it. ”

After speaking, Cheng Xi took out a piece of croquette from the food box and was about to hand it to Ji Chengjin, when Streamer knocked on the door and walked in, still holding a bowl of freshly boiled medicine in his hand.

"Streamer, why did this medicine fry so quickly?" Cheng Xi looked at the black medicine and asked, feeling incredibly fast.

Streamer was speechless, he put down the medicine bowl and replied: "Princess, this is the last bowl of medicine from the previous prescription, it is very bitter, so I drank it slowly, but Imperial Doctor Zhang said that the medicine of the new prescription is not so bitter." ”

Cheng Xi nodded, picked up the medicine bowl, and stirred it habitually with a spoon, just smelling it was a bitter smell, remembering that he had just tried the temperature last time, and the rich bitter taste spread between his mouth and tongue.

Seeing that the streamer went out, Cheng Xi handed the medicine that was almost hot to Ji Chengjin, although he reached out and took it, he frowned without a trace.

"You're not leaving?" Ji Chengjin held the medicine bowl and looked at Cheng Xi unhappily.

"Can't you leave after you finish your medicine?"

Cheng Xi propped up her jaw and tilted her head to look at Ji Chengjin's speechless appearance, just now she inadvertently found Ji Chengjin's sad little expression, but she didn't expect that a person who was usually expressionless would be afraid of hardship.

She seems to have discovered a new continent and wants to see when Ji Chengjin will break the defense.

Ji Chengjin saw that Cheng Xi couldn't leave, so he could only go with her, after all, the place where he lives now is also her territory.

Glancing at the bowl of black medicine again, Ji Chengjin was mentally prepared, tried to hold his breath, poured the whole bowl of medicine into his mouth, and when he swallowed it all, the rich bitter taste spread out of his throat, and he was about to drink a glass of water to dilute the taste in his mouth, a piece of sweet snack was suddenly handed to his lips.

Ji Chengjin didn't have time to react and was stunned.

Cheng Xi saw him drink the medicine, just like when he was a child, he was reluctant to drink Chinese medicine but was coaxed by his parents to drink it, but after drinking, they would stuff a piece of sugar into his mouth to cover the bitterness of Chinese medicine.

So Cheng Xi had a whim, and wanted to do it again, she picked up the croquettes in her hand, and handed them to his lips while Ji Chengjin didn't react.

"Ji Gongzi, if you eat a croquette, you won't be bitter, really, you can try it." Cheng Xi sent the croquettes to Ji Chengjin's lips again, and said very seriously.

Ji Chengjin looked at Cheng Xi, and a wonderful feeling rose in his heart, which made him have a slight illusion, and the suspicion that had been suppressed now came to his head again.

He clenched his fists, met Cheng Xi's expectation, and took a bite lightly a little uncomfortably, the soft and crispy sweetness swung between his taste buds, making him can't help but take another bite.

"Isn't it bitter?"

Looking at Cheng Xi's warm and warm smile, Ji Chengjin responded slightly.
