Chapter 169 Hiding Something from Her
Chapter 169 Hiding Something from Her
Returning to Chu Ci's bedroom, Chu Zhen carefully placed her on the bed and said, "Be good, bear with it for a while. The doctor will be here soon."
Chu Ci saw Chu Zhen's still-bandaged hand and asked, "Brother, how is your hand now?"
Chu Zhen smiled faintly, "It's already responding, and it's getting better. My hand can only heal slowly now, but after using your medicine, it will heal much faster than ordinary medicine."
"That's good." Chu Ci forced a smile and then closed her eyes. It really hurt. She had been unlucky recently and was always being picked on.
Or maybe find an old woman and learn how to beat the evil spirits? She needs to prepare a thousand shoes to prevent the evil spirits from always causing trouble around her.
After that, Chu Ci didn't say anything until the imperial physician came and saw Chu Ci's injuries. His brows were furrowed. This Chaoyang monarch was the girl with the most and most serious injuries he had ever seen.
Hot water, gauze, and various plasters were prepared. The female doctor went up to help and began to prepare to pull out the dagger.
Chu Zhen and Lin Feng looked at each other, walked out, and prayed for their poor princess, praying that it would be better for her to have some peace and quiet during this period.
The two men guarded the door until they heard the voice of the imperial physician from inside. Then they released their tightly clenched fists and ran to the inner room to take a look.
The two entered the inner room. The imperial physician had already packed up the prescriptions and other things. "County Lady, you should rest well first. I will be leaving now."
Chunhua took the prescription, took a look at it, and took the initiative to send the imperial physician out. She still had some questions to ask the imperial physician. After all, her master asked her to learn some basic medical skills.
Chu Ci looked at Chu Zhen and Lin Fengyunsheng who came in and smiled at them, "I'm sorry to have made you worry."
Lin Feng quickly waved his hands, "Princess, this is what a servant should do."
Chu Zhen felt distressed. He stepped forward to help Chu Ci smooth the wet hair in front of her. "Does it hurt?"
Chu Ci shook her head and said, "It's still within the acceptable range." What they didn't know was that the poison that had been suppressed in her body was almost uncontrollable.
Chu Ci looked at Lin Feng, "Where is your master?"
After hearing Chu Ci's question, Lin Feng and Yun Sheng's faces changed. They couldn't say anything.
The two people's evasive eyes made Chu Ci feel something was wrong. They were hiding something from her.
Whether she was assassinated or injured these two days, Cang Mo never showed up.
"Princess, something happened on the battlefield recently. The master is busy with the battlefield affairs, so he is quite busy during this period."
Lin Feng kept blinking while speaking, and didn't even dare to look into Chu Ci's eyes.
Chu Ci's suspicion deepened. Could it be that Cang Mo was really hiding something from her?
Chu Ci thought that he still had things to do, so he didn't ask any further questions. "I'm tired. You guys should go do your own things first. I want to rest for a while."
Seeing Chu Ci's pale face and exhausted look, Chu Zhen stepped forward to cover him with the quilt and said, "Xiao Ci, you should have a good rest. I will leave first."
After everyone left, Chu Ci closed her eyes. She felt that something was wrong with Cang Mo recently, so she thought about taking a break first and then going to see what he was doing.
When I woke up, it was already dark.
Chu Ci was just about to turn around when the maids who had been guarding the door heard the noise and hurried in.
Seeing the master struggling to get up, Chunhua stepped forward to help Chuci up and asked with concern, "Master, how are your injuries?"
Chu Ci looked at himself and waved his hands, "It's okay, it's just a small dagger, and it was stabbed by a young lady. Plus, the whole situation is tense, how deep can she stab?"
Chunhua thought about it and agreed. The imperial physician said it wasn’t a big problem.
"Master, are you hungry? I'll bring you some warm porridge right away. Please eat first."
After Chunhua finished speaking, she wanted to go and serve the porridge, but Qiuyue stepped forward and said, "Sister Chunhua, let me go and serve it. You stay here and take care of me."
Chu Ci walked to the table and sat down. Although he was not injured in any vital parts, it still hurt.
A group of people were looking at Chu Ci nervously when Lin Feng's voice rang out again from outside, "Princess, I have something to ask you."
Chu Ci looked up at Qiuyue and nodded with a pale face, "Let him in."
Cai He quickly took out a coat and put it on Chu Ci, "Master, you should put it on."
Chu Ci nodded in agreement.
Lin Feng came in and knelt down immediately. "Princess, we have been interrogating Chu Yue for a long time and we did find out something. However, she said she wants to see you before she speaks."
Lin Feng presented the note in his hands with both hands, which was stained with a little scarlet.
Chu Ci picked up the note, opened it, and narrowed his eyes, emitting a strong light.
She instructed Qiuyue beside her, "Prepare the carriage, I want to go to Prince Rui's Mansion."
Qiuyue looked at her pale face and wanted to say some words of advice, but in the end she didn't say anything and could only nod in agreement.
By the time Chu Ci got on the carriage, a thin layer of sweat had already formed on his forehead.
Qiuyue felt very distressed, "Master, why don't you just lean on my shoulder for a while."
Chu Ci responded weakly and leaned on Qiuyue, and his eyes, which were originally shining with stars, closed together.
When they arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion, Lin Feng led the way and went straight to the private prison where Chu Yue was imprisoned.
As soon as Chu Ci entered, he felt the disparity among people. No one here was intact. Everyone had old wounds on top of new wounds, and they all looked scarred.
They walked in and didn't stop until Lin Feng stopped in front of a cell.
Chu Ci covered his mouth with a handkerchief and turned to look inside the cell. A person in red clothes and with loose hair was lying on the straw. It was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
"Princess, this is Chu Yue."
Chu Ci looked carefully, but really couldn't see Chu Yue at all.
The person lying on the straw seemed to have heard Lin Feng's words. He turned around suddenly, and when he saw Chu Ci, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.
She used to compete with Chu Ci in everything, but now she is in this situation. Even if Chu Ci wants to step on her, he will think she is dirty.
Chu Yue simply tidied up her hair in front to make herself look less bad.
"Chu Ci, let's make a deal. I'll tell you a secret, and you have to ask them to let me go."
Chu Ci looked at Chu Yue suspiciously. What secret could she know?
"No, if you just say one, I can't take this blow in vain." Chu Ci felt puzzled. Seeing her confident look, it seemed that she really had the goods in her hand.
"Don't worry, I know a secret that you definitely don't know. It's about the Chu family. It's also the key to why my aunt and I were exiled to the old house and imprisoned for such a long time before being brought back. But after I tell you, you have to let them let me go back."
