cold hearted son-in-law

The emperor will give the eldest princess a marriage during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.This news was spread all over the city before the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Some said that the eldest princess would choose a son-in-law at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet;

Everyone secretly speculated. Some said that the prime minister's son-in-law, Tanhualang Qin Jue, was also the eldest princess's cousin. The two childhood sweethearts were the most likely candidates to become son-in-law; Xinglin master can bring people back to life.Invited by the prince to Huaning Palace to treat the queen's illness, the queen praised him very much and intended to choose a son-in-law.

As for Chu Yunxi from the Zhuangyuan's Mansion, when she heard these rumors, she said that they were pure rumors. She felt the empress's pulse but did not treat her with acupuncture and moxibustion.Except for being on duty in Hanlin, she stays behind closed doors all day long, refuses to see guests, keeps all eyes and gossips out of the door, and wholeheartedly treats the birth scar on Xiaowei's face.During the day, Li Mo taught Xiaowei to read and write, and Chu Yunxi taught her to recognize acupuncture points and various prescriptions in her spare time.Xiao Wei's father was originally a doctor, and he was familiar with medicinal materials since he was a child. He has a sensitive nose, is smart and hardworking.Although he is young, he is calm and unhurried when things happen.

Chu Yunxi liked it when she saw it at the time, and it fit her eyes, so on a whim, she wanted to teach Xiao Wei the skills of family medicine and acupuncture.Although she didn't know how she came here and became what she is now, she never thought that she would be able to go back after she died. Wouldn't she fall into a meatloaf if she fell off the bottomless cliff?But now she lives under the knife every day, and if her daughter's body is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous, so she urgently wants to find an apprentice to prevent the Chu family's medical skills from being lost, and also to prevent future accidents. After all, it is difficult for a doctor to heal himself.So she took action to resolve this "life lawsuit" for Xiao Wei on the spot, and revealed her identity, saving trouble in the future. It was just that she looked at the thin and small person at the time, and said in person at Tianranju that she was 14 years old this year.

There is a two-year-old teacher and apprentice, for this matter, the imperial court censor even read a copy of her.It is said that Zhuangyuan Lang has accepted a female apprentice of similar age, corrupting Fengji, and his intentions are not right!When Chu Yunxi heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry.In my heart, I remembered the black face of the second prince when he gave Xiaowei a meeting gift at the Tianranju banquet, and he was dressed in black, that was Heitan!What Shi Ze said was correct, the second prince would care about it, and he was indeed a lowly commoner and immeasurable child.Fortunately, the prince helped to deal with this matter later, and avoided a difficult situation.

Chu Yunxi glanced at Xiao Wei in front of her. She really didn't know that Xiao Wei was fourteen.This thin and small appearance is fourteen?And when Xiao Wei said that she was an abandoned baby, she might have mistaken her age.She absolutely does not admit that when 14-year-old Xiao Wei respectfully calls her 16-year-old body a teacher, it feels sour...so the teaching is even more serious, and she will teach in her spare time during the day, The speed of teaching is three times that of her grandfather's teaching every day when she was studying medicine, and then she will be tested every three days!Just because Xiao Wei is too diligent and serious in learning, where can I find such a hard-working apprentice?

Today, Chu Yunxi Muxiu, when he was free after lunch break in the afternoon, he called Xiaowei and said that he would come for a temporary spot check.Chu Yunxi half-lyed on the stone table and supported his head with one hand, with a sleepy look on his face after a nap, he lazily said to Xiaowei: "Memorize the prescription and efficacy of Guipi Decoction!"

Sitting opposite the table, Xiao Wei was wearing a light blue long dress, her hair was pulled up high into the temples with silver hairpins, revealing her white and slender neck, her head bowed and her eyebrows were lowered, her eyes looking forward, like a lady in an ancient painting.It's just that a thick brown medicinal paste was applied to the scars on the face.There is a tea tray on the table with a pot of tea and cups.Beside the table are several medical books such as "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Huangdi Neijing", as well as prescriptions and medical experience written by Chu Yunxi himself.

"Atractylodes atractylodes three qian, Fushen three qian, astragalus four qian, dried longan meat three qian, jujube kernel three qian, Codonopsis pilosula four qian, roasted licorice one and a half qian, angelica three qian, polygala three qian, woody fragrance three qian. Add ginger Two coins, three jujubes decocted in water.

Efficacy: invigorate the spleen and nourish the heart, replenish qi and blood.Deficiency of both heart and spleen, palpitations caused by insufficient Qi and blood, forgetfulness, insomnia, lack of food and body fatigue, sallow complexion, pale tongue, weak pulse, etc. "Xiao Wei answered seriously and quickly.

Chu Yunxi nodded, eyes half closed and asked lazily: "What are the next 36 deadly points?" The government teaches Xiaowei medical skills, writing novels until the second watch at night, and then practicing martial arts and boxing, taking a bath, washing clothes and going to sleep until the middle of the night.It is like this every day, and I sleep well at night, resulting in lack of sleep, sleepiness during the day, and being lazy and lethargic like a cat all day long.

At this time, the sun is just right, and the sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard is fragrant.When Li Mo cited Shi Ze to come in, he saw Chu Yunxi yawning again and again, as if he hadn't slept yet.Xiao Weiwei on the opposite side had a helpless face and didn't answer any more. He just studied by himself with Chu Yunxi's handwritten experience in studying medicine.

"Master Shi is here, wake up quickly..." Li Mo approached and shook his shoulders, Xiao Wei who was beside him got up and bowed in a low voice, and then cleaned up the books on the table.Shi Ze sat on the side by himself, with a smile on his face, showing gentleness and closeness.

"Don't worry, wake up! Xiao Wei, I'm here first, you go back first. Li Mo, go change the tea." Chu Yunxi opened his eyes and waved Li Mo's hand away, moving his neck to send people away casually.Xiao Wei responded obediently and saluted before leaving.When Xiaowei moved into the mansion, in order to avoid suspicion, Chu Yunxi let her live in the backyard.Li Mo and I lived in the front yard, separated by half a stick of incense.Li Mo and Xiao Wei parted ways.

"Yunxi, you said that you are a master. If you want to teach, you should teach well. If you don't teach, then you will agree to the little girl. You have reached the age, so you can't be delayed in vain." Shi Ze saw that Xiao Wei was gone, and Li Mo went to exchange heat. After the tea was served, the smile disappeared, and he began to preach to Chu Yunxi.

"Yeah, I know." Chu Yunxi perfunctory, since they got acquainted with each other, they knew that she was ignorant of the world, just because she was a few years older than her, and they didn't call her a brother, so they directly called Yunxi.Chu Yunxi thinks it's good to call her by name, and Li Mo finally stopped calling her Xiao Chuchu, which is a good thing.

"Which gust of wind brought you here? Where's Qiwen? I haven't seen him for a long time." Chu Yunxi changed the subject.

"What are you shouting for? You hide at home every day, can you see it?" Shi Ze snorted and didn't bother with her.

"But you can find me wherever I hide!" Chu Yunxi smiled, and took a careful look at Shi Ze.Shi Ze dodged his eyes for a while, and then smiled nonchalantly.

"Why, you're not welcome?" Shi Ze raised his eyebrows and asked back, as if you want me to leave immediately if you don't welcome me.

"Of course you are welcome. Every time you come, you are a distinguished guest. There is a happy event." Chu Yunxi smiled.

"The happy event is because of your good luck. This time I brought two pieces of news, one good and one bad, which one do you listen to first?" When Shi Ze said, he glanced around, his smile did not change, but his eyes observed Chu Yun Hee.

"Is it about tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?" Chu Yunxi was a little uneasy, and asked Shi Ze slowly.

"The good news is." Shi Ze replied, looking at her expression.

"Then let's talk about the bad news first." Chu Yunxi asked casually while lying on the table with his usual expression.

"The bad news is that Song Qiwen was beaten to death by his father and locked at home." Shi Ze said slowly, sighing softly.

"Why?" Chu Yunxi asked in surprise.

"For a woman, he wants to take Qianqian as his concubine." Shi Ze smiled coldly when he talked about Qianqian, with a cold look in his eyes.

"The piano player I saw in Tianranju last time? The oiran in the Furong Courtyard?" Chu Yunxi thought of the woman he saw at that time, the delicate and beautiful girl who played the melody of wind and sea.

"Who else but her?!" Seeing that Li Mo's tea hadn't been brought yet, Shi Ze took a sip of the wine gourd from his waist.

Chu Yunxi is silent, gentle and gentle, and that Qianqian is as beautiful as a witch, Song Qiwen is just an ordinary man.

When it comes to Song Qiwen, one of the "Four Princes of the Capital", one has to mention his grandfather Song Ming, who grew from a poor student to the prime minister who was the head of a hundred officials, and also served as the prince and Taifu.The eldest son even married Princess Jin, the most beloved young daughter of the former emperor's uncle, the old prince Qi. Song Mingcheng was the pillar of the "government" at that time.Later, the old prince of Qi was imprisoned by the whole family for the crime of 'conspiracy', and the prince was implicated, which was disliked by the late emperor, and he intended to abolish the prince.Later, the prince was poisoned and died, and the prince's party had no leader. When it fell apart, his son killed his wife and voted for the then king of Jin.Afterwards, the first emperor died suddenly, and the king of Jin came to the throne at the age of 19, but the empress dowager controlled the government and listened to the government behind a curtain, and her country name was Fengming.The Song family declined during the Fengming period, and only Song Qiwen was left as a single seedling. He married a wife and had children early. He is 27 this year.

"What do you want to do about this?" Chu Yunxi asked.

"What else can I do? Persuade me." Shi Ze said so, but his expression was a little darker, as if he had no hope for this matter.

"Then go and have a look at him, and persuade him well." Chu Yunxi said with a smile.

"There's another piece of good news that you haven't heard?" Shi Ze couldn't tell that Chu Yunxi was driving him away.

"My cousin said that it's time to pay more attention to your body when the seasons change. Today, I sent someone to deliver two packs of conditioning medicine, saying that you should avoid emotional agitation. Let's talk about the good news later." Chu Yunxi said seriously and sincerely.In fact, she could also guess the other news, but it was not good news for her.

"Nonsense! Don't think I don't know, your cousin hasn't come to your house for a few days, right? Why did someone send medicine over suddenly?" Shi Ze was not in a hurry, and he took his time. Anyway, he came here today. Probing.

"Well, he's busy. What's the matter with delivering the medicine today?" Seeing that Li Mo hadn't brought the tea yet, Chu Yunxi pointed his index finger on the table annoyed.

"You don't tell the truth to my brother, do you? I don't bother to beat around the bush with you anymore. A happy event, the eldest princess consort has been confirmed." Shi Ze looked at Chu Yunxi and said with a malicious smile. Yun Xi didn't speak, and sat silently.

"What's your attitude? Do you know how many people are looking forward to marrying the eldest princess?" Shi Ze restrained his smile and said somewhat displeased.

"Of course I know, it's just that everyone has their own ambitions. I, Chu Yunxi, did not go to Beijing to take the exam for some high-ranking official, high salary and fame. I just want to thoroughly investigate the real culprit for the Huzhou murder case, and comfort my parents, relatives and those dozens of lives! The case is pending. Afterwards, it will be time for me to resign from office and go back to seclusion. My lifelong ambition is to spend my life in the clouds and wild cranes, and I have no intention of starting a family.

"Why do you think so? You are a manly man, you have a family and a career, and you are upright. You don't cultivate immortality and Taoism. How can you be worthy of your parents if you want to cut off the incense of the Chu family? And marrying a princess can also find out the real culprit faster. The emperor sent Liang Wang I went to Huzhou to investigate for several months, but there was no news of any progress." Shi Ze persuaded.

"I won't marry a wife, so as not to harm others or myself." Chu Yunxi was unmoved.She cannot be blamed for breaking the incense, and it is even more impossible to start a family. She has not been a person who can settle down since her previous life.

"Qiwen said before that you were a monk if you wore cassocks, but I still didn't believe it. Tell me the truth, do you really don't want to marry a wife or are you sick?" Shi Ze looked at Chu Yunxi's eyebrows and asked.

"All of them." Chu Yunxi was relieved when he saw that Li Mo finally came over with tea.

"Then what about the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet tomorrow night?" Shi Ze took a big sip of wine, and before she could answer, he said, "It's too late, the imperial decree has been drawn up, and this marriage has been granted."

"Tomorrow, I will not go away because of a sudden serious illness, and my filial piety period has not been completed for a year..." Chu Yunxi had already planned to use acupuncture to make himself paralyzed for a few days or half a month, so as to avoid this time.

"It's difficult, and it's too dangerous." Shi Zehan came out.

Li Mo came to the table, put down the tea, gave Chu Yunxi a secret wink, and retreated a few feet away to wait quietly.

"I have my own way, you go back first. I will act according to circumstances, and I, Chu Yunxi, will remember the kindness of Big Brother Shi today." Chu Yunxi served tea to see off the guests.

"What's this called?!" Shi Ze frowned and left, not wanting Chu Yunxi to see him off, and hurried away.

"How and where have you been?" Chu Yunxi asked Li Mo who was approaching.

"There was a knock on the back door just now, and I looked very anxious. After I opened it, a stranger handed me the letter and left. The person had never seen it before, and the letter was not signed. I asked Xiaowei to examine it, and then took it away. Come here." Li Mo said and handed over a sealed letter.

"Don't come out no matter what sounds you hear tonight, close the door early and don't turn on the lights. You also go and tell Xiao Weiyi" Chu Yunxi read the letter and crumpled it tightly and said to Li Mo.

"Are you in danger? Do you want to report to the police?" Li Mo asked.

"Reporting to the official is useless." Chu Yunxi smiled and went to the study.

In the middle of the night, with the moonlight like frost, several men in black leaped into the Zhuangyuan Mansion, and seeing the study room with the oil lamp still on, they exchanged glances, and immediately two of them went in through the window, and after a while, there was no one in the room. The sound came out, the light remained on, and everything reflected was silent.

Two more people pushed aside the wooden bolt on the door, and the other men in black went in carefully.When they came out, two of the men in black were carrying sacks in their hands, and the room was pitch black.

There were two sounds of '咻咻', two bows and arrows shot on the sack, and there was a muffled scream, as if someone shouted with their mouths gagged.The men in black were in chaos, and the archers on the opposite roof were already firing arrows.Chu Yunxi, who was hiding on the beam of the house, was holding a crossbow, and felt chills watching it.The man in black couldn't fight the enemy with his dagger, so he retreated, and the sack had been snatched away by the archer.

Chu Yunxi watched the sack being opened, and the leader looked it over carefully, then ordered people to approach the study.

'Hoo' This time it was the sound of the crossbow in Chu Yunxi's hand, heading straight for the leader.

The leader couldn't dodge in time, and shot directly through the thigh. The man let out a muffled grunt and drew his knife, and the rest of them also drew their knives and surrounded them, blocking the door and guarding the windows.

There were two "sighs", white smoke filled the room, and in the dark room, Chu Yunxi was condescending, shooting at the door and the positions remembered by the doors and windows, and every time there was a whistling sound, there was a painful sound.Until the fire broke out, the gangsters outside the door set fire to the house. When the fire broke out, Chu Yunxi's position was exposed, and the situation reversed.

"Master?" "Chu Yunxi?" Two men and women shouted from outside, following the footsteps outside, it was Li Mo and Xiao Wei who came.

After hearing this, Chu Yunxi was masked in black cloth, and fought out with a crossbow.

"Be careful!" Li Mo yelled, Chu Yunxi was fighting with the leader, he didn't notice that someone shot an arrow in the back, the arrow flew, Li Mo stood too far away protecting Xiao Wei, only watching the arrow pass through Chu Yunxi On the left shoulder bone, blood flowed, staining half of the clothes red.

Chu Yunxi was sweating coldly from the pain, and his face turned pale. He threw his crossbow at the leader and quickly pulled out two silver needles and stuck them directly into his throat, but he didn't want to hurt his life.

"Stop it!" Chu Yunxi held the half-needled hand, and two needles went into his throat. The man was speechless, his face pale.But several archers still charged with long knives, extremely vicious.Chu Yunxi backed away quickly, and screamed a few times as the blade entered his body. Chu Yunxi looked forward and saw five men in black. This should be the third group of people.Those people didn't make a sound, they cleaned up the corpses and helped put out the fire before retreating silently.

"You guys go back!" Chu Yunxi said to the stunned two while covering his shoulders.In fact, she was also afraid, and

"Master, the wound is very deep, Xiao Wei will help you bandage it?" Xiao Wei regained her composure, her expression was still calm, except that her trembling hands revealed her fear.

"The injury is so serious, should I call a doctor?" Li Mo came back to his senses, calmed down, looked at the penetrating arrow, and was very worried.

"Don't go, Xiaowei, come and pull out the arrow for me." Chu Yunxi glanced at the study room, but fortunately the fire was small and the damage was not serious.Chu Yunxi was supported by Xiao Wei to get the arrow in her room.
