Chapter 011: Prince of the Yuan Kingdom
"Don't talk nonsense when you see people, there are countless people in the imperial capital who have more power than me, and it will not be easy to protect you once your identity is exposed."
Before driving into the imperial capital at night, Chu Ci repeatedly instructed Yan Liwu to look much more cautious than when he was in Qinglian Mountain, but fortunately, Yan Liwu was very cooperative, and there was no action at all before arriving at the destination.
She knows very well what she is currently in, doing what Chu Ci said can save her life, and she can also be familiar with the people and things of this time and space and the vast and unfamiliar history through him - if you want to live, these knowledge are essential, and it just so happens that she found that Chu Ci is a very knowledgeable person, wouldn't it be a waste if she didn't use him?
"Go in, I'll take you to meet someone first, and I'll talk about the contract and other things tomorrow." When she got out of the car, Chu Ci carefully opened the car door first, and before she could say goodbye and thank her politely, an oil-paper umbrella covered her head on a sunny day, blocking her whole person. Chu Ci stood beside her with an umbrella, with a deserved expression: "In order to prevent being seen, the girl will be wronged first." ”
Yan Liwu waved his hand to show that it didn't matter, followed Chu Ci and stepped over the high threshold, unintentionally raised his head, and looked into the huge outer courtyard through the screen door, only then did he realize that he seemed to have reached something terrible.
The spacious and atmospheric courtyard is difficult to visually measure the area, and the outer courtyard alone has already made Yan Liwu gasp and can't help but marvel - it is not like the high walls and gray tiles outside, lifeless everywhere, the courtyard is full of flowers and plants, full of vitality, and there is a faint fragrance of orchids, which immediately reminds Yan Liwu of the sages and sages who are indifferent to fame and fortune, or those who only exist in legends.
"This is your mansion?" When he walked to the center of the outer courtyard, Yan Liwu couldn't help but bend down to look at an extremely rare medicinal herb, and asked with envy in his tone.
"Although I like a lot of things, I am not good at tending to flowers and plants, and if this house were mine, you would only see the bricks and rubble all over the floor." Seeing that Yan Liwu was very obsessed with a piece of herb in the corner, Chu Ci chuckled helplessly, "Another person who likes plants and trees, you should be able to talk to the owner of this mansion." Wait a moment here, and I'll call him to you. ”
Yan Liwu didn't care too much about Chu Ci's actions, she really liked these herbs very much, and even when the future was bleak, she still indulged in them, so much so that she didn't even notice when the owner of the house came to the outer courtyard.
The woman leaning on the oil-paper umbrella in the green courtyard and the lush vegetation bowed slightly, her simple clothes and messy hair seemed to explain her embarrassing situation, but the person who had just stepped into the outer courtyard did not blame her for stepping on a few young grasses, but quietly stopped with interest and stood not far away and stared quietly.
One stands, one half-crouches, one silently, one unnoticed. Chu Ci first smiled and stood aside, and after a long time, he couldn't help but smile dumbly when he found that this quiet and peaceful peace was likely to last: "It's not for His Highness to go on a blind date, just look at it?" As I expected, you two really smell like each other. ”
Yan Liwu was startled by the sudden sound of words, and hurriedly stood up and turned around, his panicked gaze happened to be opposite to the person next to Chu Ci.
It was a young man who was more elegant than Chu Ci, looking amiable, but there was an innate nobility between his eyebrows. After seeing the sorrowful appearance of the clear words, the man was slightly stunned, and opened his mouth in surprise, his voice was as clear and magnetic as the empty mountain after the rain: "Lord Qinglian? How to ...... here"
"Your Highness has taken a closer look, she is not the queen whose heart is higher than the sky." Chu Ci coughed lightly and reminded, beckoned, and motioned for Yan to come closer to the worries, "This is the second prince of the Yuan Kingdom, and he is also the owner of this mansion, just now you saw that those flowers and plants were planted by His Royal Highness himself." ”
Facing the stunned second prince of Yuanguo, Chu Ci also introduced Yan Liwu's special identity in detail, but it seems that the second prince's surprise is still far more than polite.
"I can't imagine that there are two people who are so similar in the world, if the person who told me is not Chu Ci, I will definitely not believe it."
"I don't want to believe it, but it's true, and I'm almost forgetting who I am if I continue to be misunderstood."
The prince who suddenly appeared was not as domineering as he imagined, and his words were inevitably a little more casual; The second prince didn't think much about it, and after a few simple conversations, he introduced Yan Liwu into the front hall of the inner courtyard, and after carefully closing the door, he let out a long sigh of relief: "Chu Ci, you are too bold, aren't you afraid of accidents if you bring her like this?" Now how many people inside and outside the imperial capital are looking for the Qinglian King like crazy, in case someone finds her hiding in my place, no matter what her identity is, you and I will get into trouble. ”
Chu Ci smiled disapprovingly: "The emperor is dead, the world is in chaos, who still has the heart to stare at His Highness?" When I came back, I took a special look, and the eyeliner that had been sitting in the front street teahouse for two years was no longer there, probably being sent elsewhere. Besides, I had an umbrella to cover her when she entered, so no one should see her. ”
"There is no best. By the way, what did you find in Qinglian Mountain? There has been no news from the Qinglian Palace, and many ministers in the court plan to send people to find out - the Qinglian King is not dead, and no one can be quiet. ”
Chu Ci and the second prince communicated for a long time, as if forgetting that there was a woman next to her who was looking at her in a daze, and she couldn't interject and couldn't understand what they said, so she could only sit dryly, and when she sat down and yawned, she couldn't help but take the teacup on the table and drink it all.
"Don't-" When the second prince saw it, it was too late to stop him, and he exclaimed, and his face stopped abruptly with his words.
Chu Ci gasped, and there was obviously a hint of schadenfreude in his pretended pity eyes: "Words can be said nonsense, things cannot be drunk indiscriminately, it is better for the girl to be cautious in His Highness's mansion." ”
Yan Li glanced at Chu Ci without saying a word, frowned, picked up the teacup and sniffed it carefully, the bitter taste filled his nose. Putting down the teacup and looking at the second prince, Yan Liwu asked tentatively: "Your Highness has a cold disease?" ”
"How does the girl know? You...... Knowing how to heal? The second prince seemed to be a little surprised.
Yan Liwu didn't answer directly, and tasted the residual medicinal fragrance in his mouth thoughtfully: "This flavor medicine contains ginseng, atractylodes, boiled licorice and dried ginger, and some milder cold-warding herbs, which should have evolved from Lizhong soup." Seeing that the color of the palace is slightly pale, I think it is caused by the stagnation of qi and blood and poor operation, and the spleen and stomach are weak and cold. It's just that the longer this soup is drunk, the weaker the effect of the treatment will be, and now His Royal Highness takes the medicine as tea to drink, which shows that the deficiency and cold have invaded the bone marrow, and it is not a one-day disease. ”
The second prince was stunned for a long time, then coughed lightly twice, pointed at Yan Li and smiled bitterly at Chu Ci: "Chu Ci, you not only brought me back a big trouble, but also brought a female doctor, should I thank you or blame you?" ”
"Thank you, no, I'm just a three-legged cat." Without waiting for Chu Ci to answer, Yan Liwu grabbed the conversation, and there was a touch of shrewdness hidden between the corners of his lips, "It just so happens that I have some recipes that are better than Lizhong soup, and I can serve them at any time if His Highness needs them, but a few coarse meals and light meals will give people a way out." ”
Speaking of conditions, you have to sell favors first, and the strange but bold woman made the second prince of Yuanguo laugh, waved his hand, and his eyes were clear and soft: "That Wen Moshu thanked the goddess doctor first." ”
