Chapter 181: The Love of Master and Servant
On that day, the candidate for the stand-in did not make a decision, but Jingxing was punished by Emperor Qing once, and this time it was much more serious than the previous one.
Although Jing Xing told Wei Rui not to cry many times, the scene at that time was once talked about by many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.
The person who was beaten was Jing Xing, but Wei Rui howled as if she had been beaten herself, at first Jing Xing looked at her tear-stained face a little helplessly, and then she howled Buddha nature, and then fainted.
When he woke up, Wei Rui was still howling in front of him, he stretched out his hand to comfort Wei Rui, but he couldn't lift his hand, Wei Rui saw that he was grinning in pain, and cried even more fiercely.
In short, after the Ming Wangfu spent three days of Wei Rui's howling period, everything gradually got better.
At this time, Wei Rui didn't have time to care about the opening of her own store, and after being reminded by Jingxing several times, she still looked indifferent, so Jingxing didn't say much.
During the days when Jingxing was recuperating from her injuries, Wei Rui had been taking care of everything by her side, no matter how big or small, she took care of her own food, because there was nothing else, she did these things very well.
And Jingxing himself changed from resistance and embarrassment at the beginning to helpless acceptance, and even relied on it in the end.
The people in the palace seemed to understand the situation of these two people, but because they were not named, everyone turned a blind eye, and Jing Yue occasionally came over to see Jing Xing and laughed at the two.
Because Han Wulou recovered very well, Jing Yue's whole person recovered and changed back to her previous appearance, and she also understood Wei Rui's hard work, and the relationship between the two went further.
The matter of choosing a stand-in was quickly selected into the agenda, but whether it was Emperor Qing or the person chosen by the Wuguo State, Chonghua couldn't look down on any of them.
The news that Chonghua once again rejected the stand-in candidate was sent by Mo Wenming, who was in charge of Jingxing's injury medicine during this time, and often brought news from the palace.
Wei Rui still can't forgive Chonghua, although Jingxing has explained to her that there is only one way for Chonghua to be with Mingzhou, but Wei Rui still can't forgive Jingxing for getting hurt.
Every time she changed Jingxing's dressing, looking at him as a big man, a man who never showed his emotions, and the pain almost broke his fingernails, Wei Rui felt that his heart was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
However, Jing Xing did not blame Chonghua once,
Probably because of this, Mingzhou has been very conscientious recently, hardly resting, always guarding the door, and several times Wei Rui chased him, but he refused.
As soon as the matter of choosing a stand-in came out, Mingzhou and Wei Rui understood the purpose of Chonghua's trouble, of course, Jing Xing, who had been holding back, and Guan Qing, who was silently pushing the boat, probably had such suspicions from the beginning.
Guan Qing also came once or twice when Jing Xing was injured, although he was looking for Wei Rui, he refused to spare people, and Jing Xing was so angry that he hammered the bed, causing Wei Rui to not go to see Guan Qing for almost seven days.
Once Guan Qing came, Jing Xing hurt everywhere, Wei Rui looked distressed, and couldn't leave, so he simply went to Guan Qing.
Guan Qing was indignant about this, and inexplicably participated in Jingxing's book in front of Emperor Qing, causing Jingxing to be fined for another month.
But Jing Xing didn't care at all, he was not a person who lacked money, but Wei Rui was so painful.
A few people just made a fuss, half a month has passed, the stand-in has not yet been decided, Wei Rui has been afraid of making another mistake, but Jingxing persuaded her to feel at ease.
That night, Wei Rui was feeding Jing Xing, and Jing Xing was already able to go to the ground, but Wei Rui still liked to feed him when it came to eating.
Because only at this time can she see the well-behaved Jingxing, eliminating her identity and status on weekdays, without all kinds of scruples and shelves, everything becomes natural.
However, as soon as Jing Xing finished eating, the door was pushed open.
The person who came in was Chonghua.
Even though Wei Rui threw the bowl in his hand on the table, he looked at the visitor with angry eyes, and when the words of the guest came to his lips, he was interrupted by Jing Xing.
"Don't get excited." Jingxing comforted her.
Looking at Chonghua's crumbling body, Wei Rui's teeth creaked, but she finally endured it.
Obviously, Chonghua has not had a good time these days, probably because of the pregnancy reaction and the recent pressure, and her body is already weak, so the whole person is visibly thin.
Jingxing called Mingzhou into the house and asked him to retreat from the people around the house.
Wei Rui helped Jingxing to sit up, sat next to him, and looked at the two people standing in front of him, his face full of displeasure.
Jingxing reached out and took her hand, touched the back of her hand soothingly, looked at Chonghua and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Chonghua looked up at Jing Xing, and then slowly knelt down, Wei Rui looked at her and seemed to be a little difficult to even kneel, and couldn't help but want to stop her.
Jingxing didn't speak, just looked at Chonghua, as if waiting for her to speak.
"I'm sorry, my lord, because my business has caused you to be injured." When she said this, her tone was sincere and full of guilt, Wei Rui could see that she was not pretending, so she turned her head to look at Jing Xing to see what he would do.
At this time, Mingzhou also knelt down and said: "It's a dereliction of duty on the part of my subordinates, I should have stopped her, but ......"
Mingzhou was about to stop talking, Jingxing stared at Mingzhou for a while and asked, "You knew her purpose early on?" ”
Wei Rui was stunned for a moment when she asked this, and said in surprise: "You already knew?" ”
Mingzhou didn't reply, it was a tacit acquiescence, but Chonghua said: "The matter was decided by me alone, he came to me that day and asked me to tell the truth about it, so I told him my plan, it's none of his business." ”
Wei Rui looked at her protecting Mingzhou, and couldn't tell what it was like for a while, and only said after a while: "If it wasn't for Jingxing's mediation and cooperation with me, you would have been arrested a long time ago, why didn't we discuss this matter, why did you harm him?" ”
This is the first time Chonghua has seen Wei Rui speak to her like this, Miss Wei has always been a warm, kind and thoughtful person, it is rare to see her choke with others, and it is rare to see her scold others in this tone.
Chonghua secretly envied her simplicity and innocence, and at the same time understood what she did this time, which made Wei Rui really sad.
However, all she can say now is "I'm sorry".
Wei Rui felt annoyed when she heard the words "I'm sorry", glanced at Chonghua, scolding and ugly words were on her lips, but she looked at Mingzhou next to her with some pleading, and took the words back.
"Get up." It was Jingxing who broke the silence, and he said slowly, "Since I have borne all the punishments, this matter can only succeed, not fail." Your body is getting heavier and heavier now, if you encounter something that you can't decide, you will consult with Mingzhou, if Mingzhou asks me, I will try my best to help. ”
Chonghua pursed his lips and nodded, his eyes were red, and the guilt in his eyes was about to pour out with tears.
After saying this, Jingxing excused himself to rest and let Chonghua go back.
Chonghua didn't say anything, and left very obediently, and Jingxing asked Mingzhou to send it again.
When there were only two people left in the house, Wei Rui asked Jingxing why he was not very different from Chonghua, he had never been very nosy, but this time he would rather be punished like this for Chonghua, did he also like Chonghua's beauty.
She knew that she was messing around, and Jingxing also knew that she was messing around, but she still explained the reason to her seriously.
Jing Xing didn't have any thoughts about Chonghua, he always didn't like people who were too good-looking, men and women didn't like it, probably because of Guan Qing's shadow, or others, so he always avoided these people.
But this time, the person who was involved was none other than Mingzhou.
When Jingxing mentioned the name of Mingzhou, Wei Rui was really surprised, because in the final analysis, Jingxing was not helping Chonghua, but Mingzhou.
The people in the palace are clear about Mingzhou's feelings for Chonghua, if Chonghua is like this, there is only a dead end to go back to Wuguo, she wants to live, and she wants to be with Mingzhou, no matter how she thinks, it seems that the only way to use Jingxing is to use Jingxing.
Jingxing is not stupid, he understands what Chonghua means after thinking about it carefully, but the people in the palace have always been suspicious, and when he is uncertain, he does not dare to tell anyone, whether Chonghua is a good person or a bad person, no one can really know.
However, the reason why he is more inclined to believe in Chonghua is because he believes in Mingzhou.
I believe in Mingzhou's vision and Mingzhou's feelings, and I hope that I can do something for Mingzhou. Mingzhou is the one who saved himself more than once, although it is Mingzhou to outsiders, but in private he has already regarded the people around him as his own family.
When he was a child, he rarely felt the warmth of his family, so when he grew up, he would take care of anyone who would do his best for him.
Mingzhou now has a lover and a chance to leave here, and Jingxing doesn't want to restrain him, he may not end well, but one of the people around him can die well, which can be regarded as the whole affection for protecting him all these years.
Therefore, whether he is punished or injured, because it is Mingzhou's business, he endured everything, and now he only hopes that the two lords will not find anything, so that Chonghua Chenggong and Mingzhou can leave here.
Wei Rui lay next to Jing Xing, looking at his black eyes as deep as the sea, but when he heard what he said, he couldn't help but laugh. Because of the injury on his back, Jingxing basically slept on his stomach during this time, and the two heads were next to each other, which was inexplicably warm.
Jing Xing looked at Wei Rui's smile and said slowly: "There is one more thing, not only will I not blame Chonghua, but I also want to thank her." ”
Wei Rui was stunned for a moment, sat up straight on the ground, made a stop gesture and said, "Okay, you don't have to say it." ”
Jing Xing stretched out his hand to pull her down and said, "You are particularly good-looking today." ”
Almost instantly, Wei Rui's face flushed to the base of her neck.
