Chapter 275: Restless
Zixi heard the movement outside and frowned slightly, but ignored it.
King Qingjun came to Chu Chen's courtyard at this hour, there should be something important, but Chu Chen's detoxification could not be interrupted.
Lowering her eyes, she focused on luck.
Layers of sweat poured out of Chu Chen's body, dripping onto the bath bucket, and another layer came out.
The water in the tub quickly turned brown.
King Qingjun waited outside for a long time, the night was cold, he stomped his steps, and the anxiety on his face could barely be concealed.
Zixi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"There's probably something big going on out there." Zixi said quietly, "Your father looks anxious. β
Chu Chen was silent for a moment, and he also heard his father's messier and heavier footsteps than usual, and judged roughly: "Maybe something happened in the palace." β
What can happen in the palace at such a late hour?
It can't be the emperor who died suddenly.
Chu Chen thought maliciously, he hadn't had time to make a move yet.
After about a cup of tea, Zixi slowly withdrew his hand, walked in front of Chu Chen, removed all the silver needles on his wrist, and "Dry your body and put on your clothes." β
Then she began to pack up the needles and turned to open the door.
King Qingjun was standing alone outside the door, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he quickly turned around: "Miss Zixi." β
"Lord Wang." Zixi bowed, "It's so late, but there is something important to find the son?" He was getting dressed. β
"No, I'm looking for you." King Qingjun didn't have time to think about why his son was wearing clothes at this time, "Cang'er's illness has been cured?" β
Zixi nodded, and turned sideways to get out of the way: "The prince came in and said." β
King Qingjun hesitated for a moment, walked in with his feet raised, and quickly closed the door: "Miss Zixi, this king arranged for a carriage to send you away overnightββ"
"Leave?" Chu Chen was startled and walked out of the inner room, "Father, what happened?" Why is Zixi leaving? β
King Qingjun raised his eyes and saw his son's disheveled appearance, and was stunned: "Cang'er? β
"Don't get me wrong, prince." Zixi unhurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed at the bath bucket, "Fang Cai Shizi is in the medicinal bath." β
King Qingjun turned his head to look at the water in the bathtub, nodded, and quickly returned to business: "Miss Zixi, there is a will in the palace just now, let the girl enter the palace immediately, saying that the queen is unwell." β
The queen is unwell, isn't there a doctor in the palace?
However, Zixi and Chu Chen reacted quickly, they were afraid that the queen's physical discomfort was just an excuse, otherwise King Qingjun would not react like this.
Moreover, the palace doors were closed in the middle of the night, so let Zixi enter the palace at this hour?
Probably not well-intentioned.
"The king got the news, the emperor recently ordered someone to secretly check the identity of the girl." King Qingjun said, "Miss Zi may be in some danger right now, and this king thinks it's safer to send you out of the city first." β
Zixi was silent when he heard this, and glanced at Chu Chen quietly, and then smiled lightly.
"Don't worry, sir." Zixi's tone was calm, "No matter whether the queen is really uncomfortable or fake uncomfortable, I can't leave, otherwise the crime of resisting the decree will be borne by the prince." β
King Qingjun softened his voice and said, "The girl doesn't have to think about this, this king has his own way to deal with it." β
"Nope." Zixi's voice was very calm, and there was no panic at all, "Since the emperor is coming for me, of course I won't run away." β
King Qingjun frowned: "Miss Zixi, you don't understand that the imperial power cannot be violated-".
"Father." Chu Chen finally took care of his robe and spoke unhurriedly, "Don't worry, the emperor can't help Zixi." β
