Chapter 167: She's about to get married
Xia Mingzhong nodded and replied, "Yes, there is a guest in the palace, and the prince should be meeting guests inside at this time."
Guan Jiyu said with a smile: "I didn't come at the right time, I haven't been in the capital for a few days, and I came back this time to come to the palace for a special trip, I don't know if Master Zeng Qi is still in the palace?"
Xia Mingzhong said, "Master Zeng Qi has already returned to Heqiliu, and not long after you left, he saw that the prince was recovering very well and that there was nothing to do in the palace, so he also went back."
"That's right." Guan Jiyu said regretfully: "I still want to get some more medicine, but I am worried that it will be too troublesome and too disturbing to take medicine from the palace all the time, so I want to see if the prince can give me the original prescription, so that I can follow the prescription myself."
Xia Mingzhong listened to Guan Jiyu very patiently, his eyes looking at Guan Jiyu were complicated, the once generation of masters has now become an ordinary person who can't do without medicine all year round, he inevitably has some feelings of sympathy, so he said, "After you left, I didn't stop looking for the lost end of the "Wind Chopping Technique"."
Guan Jiyu didn't care, she asked lightly, "Did you find it?" After asking, she herself felt that this question was superfluous, so she smiled helplessly.
If you have found it, you don't have to wait until now and there is no news.
She pursed her lips and said sincerely, "Thank you for not forgetting this matter for so long, it's just that it's been a year, and my body has long degraded very seriously, and now I can't even lift a little heavy object, let alone think about martial arts training."
She stretched out one hand and said, "This hand can't even hold a weapon."
Xia Mingzhong looked at the weak palm, was silent for a moment, and said, "Don't give up so easily, that's a pity."
"It's nothing." Guan Jiyu didn't know whether he was comforting Xia Mingzhong or comforting himself, and said, "Anyway, I still left this life, and ordinary people are the same to live this life, aren't they?"
Guan Jiyu looked at the study again and said, "Since the prince is busy with official business, then I will leave first and come back another day."
She already had things in her heart, and at this moment, she could only pretend to be calm in front of Xia Mingzhong temporarily, in fact, she couldn't stay in this place for a moment.
Guan Jiyu was in a hurry to leave, and his steps were also very hurried.
Xia Mingzhong said coldly behind her, "I once suspected the golden cicada who supplied medicine to the palace, and I felt that she was the most suspicious, and I also looked for her several times. It's just that now, it doesn't seem like it's easy to go to her."
His voice was flat, like his person, always unfazed. Xia Mingzhong is middle-aged, but his voice is still very penetrating.
Guan Jiyu heard Xia Mingzhong's deep voice coming from behind him: "She's about to get married, do you know?"
Guan Jiyu's footsteps paused, but he didn't look back, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be married to General Xiang's younger brother, Xiang's second son, Xiang Lincheng, right?"
Xia Mingzhong didn't speak, so he should have acquiesced.
Guan Jiyu said lightly: "I already knew about the two of them. It's been so long since the incident of "Wind Chopping Trick" happened, and this incident has already happened strangely, if there is really no clue, you should not go to her again, and stop disturbing her life."
"Yes." Xia Mingzhong said: "I also heard the prince talk about this matter, I always thought that I could help find it, I tried to find it, you can become like this for the sake of the prince, I can't just watch it." But now that I have confirmed with my own eyes that Jin Chan is indeed about to get married, and she is already living in the house of the second son, I really can't follow her anymore."
Guan Jiyu strode out of the palace, there were a lot of people rushing to the market on the streets of the capital today, and the carriage was blocked in the middle of the road, and it took a long time to barely move forward.
She lifted the curtain and saw a hawthorn cake seller on the side of the road, so she got out of the carriage and walked to the stall selling hawthorn cake.
After waiting for a while, there were more and more people on the road, and there was already a crowd of people in front of the stall, and it was even more crowded at the moment, so that people had nowhere to stay.
Guan Jiyu stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look at the stall that was surrounded in the middle, and was about to take a look inside, but he was unexpectedly squeezed by someone, under his feet
He didn't stand firm and was about to fall backwards, but a man stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm.
"Be careful!"
Guan Jiyu stood firm in confusion before he saw the two acquaintances in front of him.
The hand that was holding his arm quickly withdrew as well.
The two people in front of them were Xiang Lincheng and Jin Chan, they seemed to be also visiting the market, Xiang Lincheng carried several large bags of things in one hand, and Jin Chan also took some things he had just purchased.
It's just that the faces of the two people have their own emotions.
The surprise on Xiang Lincheng's face was undisguised, but the surprise on his face quickly turned into embarrassment and then unnatural.
After not seeing her for so long, the golden cicada seems to be plumper than before, her skin has become fair and tender, the dress she is wearing is well-cut, and the beads in her hair look even better.
The original inexpensiveness of the whole body has all disappeared.
Her foundation is not bad, and she is very beautiful when she dresses up a little.
Jin Chan smiled lightly and took the initiative to greet her, "Miss Guan? I haven't seen you in a long time, why are you here?"
"I ......" Guan Jiyu pointed to the hawthorn cake stall and said, "I happened to pass by here to buy something."
I don't know if the hawthorn cake boss has accelerated the speed of packing, and the people who were still surrounding the front quickly left with their hawthorn cakes, and the hawthorn cake boss shouted at Guan Jiyu: "Girl, it's your turn."
A large bag of hawthorn cake has been wrapped, and Guan Jiyu wanted to find some money from his pocket, but found that his sleeves were empty.
I didn't even have a copper plate on my body.
In broad daylight, it's just that such an embarrassing thing happens, but it is still seen by people who know it. Guan Jiyu bit his lip and was thinking about how to find a reason to return this pack of hawthorn cakes, but Xiang Lincheng suddenly said loudly: "Boss, I see that your hawthorn cake is very well made, so bring me a pack, how much is it in total?" I'll pay for it all."
Jin Chan looked at Xiang Lincheng beside her, and she said with half disgust, "How much can these two packs of hawthorn cake cost? I'll pay for it, I still have some leftover copper plates."
The hawthorn cake in Guan Jiyu's hand seemed to be hot, she unnaturally swiped it in her hand, and the big bag of hawthorn cake should have been wrapped very tightly, and it was so slammed, the oil paper wrapped in the hawthorn cake opened a hole, and a lot of hawthorn cake fell out at once.
"Yikes!" Jin Cicada was the first to find out, and exclaimed, Xiang Lincheng looked over, and hurriedly reached out to catch the hawthorn cakes that were falling down one by one.
After Guan Jiyu reacted, there were already hawthorn cakes in front of his heels.
Guan Jiyu's face was so hot that she was about to find a crack in the ground to get into, and at this moment she hurriedly squatted down to pick up the hawthorn cake on the ground, not to be able to eat it again, Guan Jiyu's mind was full of worries about so many people on the road, if you don't pick it up quickly, this hawthorn cake is sticky and soft, and if you step on it, it will be sticky everywhere.
She was silent and lowered her head to pick up the hawthorn cake on the ground, the hawthorn cake was originally a dark red color, but at the moment it was all stuck to dust, she picked it up, and saw that in the gray dust, bright red beads fell into it.
The movement in Guan Jiyu's hand stopped, and she was still for a moment before she wiped her nose with the back of her hand.
A large patch of blood appeared on the back of his hand.
"Lincheng, look!"
The golden cicada exclaimed again, this time her voice was much sharper than when she had just seen the hawthorn cake fall.
Xiang Lincheng looked over with the screams of the golden cicada, Guan Jiyu's nose and mouth were already stained red with blood, and even his cheeks were smeared with some blood.
He exclaimed, "What's going on?!"
The boss who sold hawthorn cakes also stopped the action of loading hawthorn cakes in his hand, looked at Guan Jiyu sitting on the ground, and his nose was full of blood, and said kindly: "There are a lot of people on the street today, the girl is so hot, right? Some people are weak and can't stand the heat, and when they get hot, they will bleed from their noses, and my little nephew is like this, it's fine!"
Xiang Lincheng listened to the words of the hawthorn cake boss, looked at Guan Jiyu strangely, and said
"It's okay for a weak person or a child, but you have been practicing martial arts since you were a child, and your body is not so bad, why did you shed so much blood?"
Guan Jiyu slowly took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped the blood on his face, covered his nose again, and said in a muffled voice: "It's okay, it's true that there are too many people on the street today, I've been squeezing here for a long time, and the heat is so hot that I am upset, maybe the anger is too great."
Jin Chan hurriedly walked over and helped Guan Jiyu up, and said, "Miss Guan, you tilt your head up, don't lower your head, otherwise you will have to bleed again."
Guan Jiyu covered his nose with one hand, and stood up with the other hand held by the golden cicada, and said, "Thank you." She looked at Jin Chan, then at Xiang Lincheng, and said, "I haven't had time to congratulate you two yet, I heard that you are about to have a good time, and I didn't want to meet you here!"
She smiled embarrassedly and said, "Congratulations to you haven't said it yet, but let you see this scene, it's really troublesome for you two."
At the mention of "good things are coming", Xiang Lincheng's expression obviously became unnatural, he was not without guilt, even if it had been so long, he still wrote this guilt on his face.
Guan Jiyu naturally blessed and said, "I wish you all to grow old together, and raise your eyebrows."
"Thank you." Jin Chan Song switched Ji Yu, turned around and climbed on Xiang Lincheng's arm, and smiled, "Thank you for your blessings, Miss Guan."
"I've bought my things, then I'll leave first, so I won't disturb you and continue to visit the market."
The bleeding in Guan Jiyu's nose had stopped, she put down her arms, held the remaining hawthorn cake in her arms with both hands, turned around and slowly moved her steps.
Xiang Lincheng looked at the weak back, stood there and looked at it for a long time, Jin Chan shook his arm, and said, "Lincheng? What's wrong? Let's go, too."
He nodded, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Let's go."
On the bustling street, Xiang Lincheng and Jin Chan only turned around and walked a few steps, when they heard the boss who sold hawthorn cakes behind them screaming again and again, and there was also a discussion in the crowd.
"Oops! What the hell is wrong with you, girl?"
"Oops! The two of you in front of you stay and take a look!"
Xiang Lincheng turned around and looked over, Guan Jiyu had already fainted on the ground, and the half-pack of hawthorn cake she was holding in her hand was scattered everywhere.
He shook off Jin Cicada's hand without hesitation, hurriedly jumped over, and ran to Guan Jiyu's side.
"Yoshiwa!"
