cold hearted son-in-law

"Master, don't you want to go and see them?" Xiao Wei curiously asked Chu Yunxi, who was grabbing medicine from the drawer and weighing it. The "the two" Xiao Wei said naturally meant Shi Ze and Li Mo who had an earth-shattering fight .

"No!" Chu Yunxi answered simply, pounding the medicine with a wooden mortar in his hand.

"Then how will the emperor convict the emperor in open fighting?" Xiao Wei continued to ask.

"Why do you care so much about this?" Chu Yunxi stopped his movements, looked at Xiao Wei and said.

Xiao Wei was stunned under Chu Yunxi's gaze, and stood aside a little at a loss and said, "They all know Master very well, and this time the incident seems to be quite serious."

"It's just for some people to watch. Don't worry, nothing will happen." Chu Yunxi lowered her head and went to take her medicine after finishing speaking.

"Actor?" Xiao Wei was surprised.

Chu Yunxi didn't answer, and buried himself in a pile of medicinal materials.

Xiaowei looked at the piles of medicinal herbs, most of which were common Cyperus cyperi, Bupleurum, Chuanxiong, Rehmannia glutinosa, Angelica, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Prunella vulgaris, etc. When she saw the five important gynecological medicines that dredge blood vessels, dissipate blood stasis and relieve pain, After Lingzhi, he raised his head and asked, "Master, how is the Eldest Princess?"

"It's just smallpox. It's not dangerous. These are for her to remove scabs." Chu Yunxi raised his head and thought of the eldest princess who was covering her veil. With a smile on her face, she asked Xiaowei again: "Zhang Han outside the city probably When will you be able to resume walking? Has the military doctor checked all over the army according to the method I said?"

Xiao Wei nodded. Seeing that Chu Yunxi was concentrating on making medicine again, she didn't talk to her anymore, nor did she intend to ask her for help, nor did she ask her to watch and study carefully like before. Ask something, but she doesn't know what to do.This pharmacy is located in the center of the city. Because it is not far from the government office, the guards have put the surrounding area under martial law, and there are no common people. She has to ride a horse for about an hour to see the residential area in order to treat people. Now the city is flooded with smallpox. Your Majesty Sending half of the imperial doctors to various parts of the city, she ran into something bad by mistake. She was originally called the "medicine fairy" and caused countless rumors. She can't do anything now, or Chu Yun, who wants her to leave... Xi, it must be an excuse to drive her away.

Xiao Wei was bored, saw a well in the small courtyard outside the pharmacy, and saw that Chu Yunxi was still concentrating on a pile of medicines, so she went to the residence across the street to wash Chu Yunxi's clothes and bed quilts. Put it in a wooden tub, and when it was brought over to be cleaned, there were a few more guards in the courtyard. King Wu Huangfuze was whispering something to Chu Yunxi in the pharmacy, and Xiao Wei didn't bother, just doing laundry in the outer courtyard.

"When did you fall in love with Xiaowei? Why didn't I know?" Chu Yunxi in the pharmacy was a little surprised and asked the opposite Huangfuze whose face was slightly red and his whole body was a little stiff.

Huangfuze didn't answer, but just sat stiffly, looking at Chu Yunxi with a stubborn expression.

"Oh..." Chu Yunxi smiled knowingly, nodded and said helplessly, "You just want to compete with the crown prince?"

"No! This king really wants to marry Miss Xiaowei!" Huangfuze said in a firm tone with a bit of displeasure when he heard Chu Yunxi's speculation.

Chu Yunxi looked at the young man in front of him, admiring his courage, but Chu Yunxi really didn't know what the relationship between King Wu and Xiao Wei was, and he didn't know who Xiao Wei liked. Although she didn't understand the relationship, but Xiao Wei never told her master, so she asked: "Then Xiao Wei is willing to marry you?"

"I don't know!" King Wu replied honestly, seeing Chu Yunxi sizing him up, he said in a sworn tone: "This king will definitely take good care of Xiaowei!"

After hearing this, Chu Yunxi shook her head and said: "Although I am Xiaowei's master, Xiaowei's marriage is up to her to decide, and she has to be consulted about it. I don't have any opinion if she wants to. "

Hearing what Chu Yunxi said, King Wu nodded, took out a black jade pendant with dragon patterns from his arms, put his hands on the table carefully and solemnly, and said: "This jade pendant is left by my concubine. Please donate it to Miss Xiaowei, if she is not willing, I will not force her, as long as she is not married, I will wait forever."

"You..." Chu Yunxi originally wanted to ask him to deliver it by himself, but when he thought about it, it would be a private engagement between a man and a woman, so he turned to another question and asked, "Will the emperor agree? And I won't let you Xiaowei is a concubine."

"As long as Xiao Wei is willing, this king will persuade father and emperor to agree. If it is not possible, this king can give up the surname of the royal family and take Xiao Wei far away to avoid the troubles, and go to the market to be an ordinary couple." Huangfu Ze has a serious attitude and a candid tone.

"I thought you were a cold and stubborn person who was dedicated to helping the community, but I never thought you would have such thoughts. Are you really willing to stay away from the world's disputes for Xiaowei and live a normal life from now on?" Chu Yunxi asked tentatively.

"If you can really live your life in a peaceful way, it will actually be a kind of blessing." Huangfuze said with a wry smile.

The two were talking in the pharmacy. The eldest princess was wearing a veil, a green smoked purple embroidered silk flower dress with scales, a bun, and a hollow orchid bead hairpin. She was leading two maidservants. This is the scene.

"Xiao Wei has met the Eldest Princess." Xiao Wei saw the person first, wiped her hands and came to salute the Eldest Princess.

"Xiao Wei doesn't need to be too polite. According to your seniority, you can call me Mrs. Gong Sheng." The eldest princess looked at the room and still didn't notice any movement outside, as if the two were discussing something important, she didn't rush in, but He stopped and chatted with Xiao Wei.

"The eldest princess has a noble status, but Xiao Wei is just a commoner girl, she dare not climb high, and..." Xiao Wei paused and added: "Master has never asked Xiao Wei to call you Master Mistress!"

After hearing Xiao Wei's words, the eldest princess did not change her smile, but the eyes she looked at Xiao Wei became a little unpredictable.

"She probably forgot to mention it. If I ask her, I will ask her to teach you well." After the eldest princess finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Wei who was hostile to her, said no more, and was about to leave.

There was a clever guard who had already reported to the people in the house, and the two went out to greet each other, and saw the last words that the eldest princess said to Xiao Wei.Chu Yunxi approached and asked casually: "What did I forget to teach Xiaowei?"

"You forgot to tell Xiaowei that it's fine to call me Master's wife in the future, we are all a family, so you don't have to be so polite." The eldest princess said in a half-joking tone.

Chu Yunxi was stunned, Xiao Wei didn't speak, the second prince looked at the eldest princess and then at Xiao Wei with a somewhat unnatural expression, there was silence for a while, Chu Yunxi said after a long time: "Xiao Wei is going to bring tea, that ...Wu Wang should go to work first if he has something to do, I will remember the matter, you go back and wait for the news, I will send it off soon."

Huangfuze glanced at Xiao Wei, nodded to the eldest princess and then left first. Xiao Wei also left with the excuse of serving tea. Chu Yunxi and the eldest princess came to the pharmacy side by side. Putting away the jade pendant and putting it in the purse hanging on her waist, the eldest princess saw Chu Yunxi's movements, her eyes slightly bent, her lips curled up behind the veil, she smiled but said nothing.

The eldest princess sat where Huangfuze sat just now, looked at the herbs on the table and asked, "What are you making again?"

"If you study the medicine for removing acne marks, you will definitely earn a lot of money if you succeed." Chu Yunxi said with a happy expression, and sat down beside him.

"So you are busy making money?" The eldest princess glanced sideways at Chu Yunxi, and then went to look at the smashed medicine.

"It should be said that I am making money while saving thousands of beautiful women." Chu Yunxi said, seeing that the eldest princess did not seem to be in a hurry when she came to find her, so she took the medicine mortar and continued to pound medicine, taking care of her. .

"Then you have treated me for so long, do you have to pay for the medical expenses?" The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Yunxi and asked.

"Oh, the eldest princess's medicine has already been paid." Chu Yunxi said without raising her head.

The eldest princess was a little surprised and asked: "When did you pay?"

Chu Yunxi raised his head, looked at the eldest princess with an embarrassed smile, and said with a smile: "Well... when I left Beijing, I took a box of things from the warehouse of the son-in-law's mansion. Those arrived."

"What did you take?" The eldest princess looked at the person in front of her, and said, "There are two warehouses in the concubine's mansion, which one did you go to?"

"It seems to be the one on the east side, and there's nothing wrong with it." Chu Yunxi's face was a little stiff, as if he was caught stealing. The master set up a private court and asked the thief what he took. It chopped off its hands and feet.

"What are you doing with those?" The eldest princess still asked Chu Yunxi calmly.

"As a dowry to Xiao Wei." Chu Yunxi was a little low-key.

The eldest princess was silent for a long time before asking: "Have you sent it out?"

Chu Yunxi shook his head and whispered, "Confiscated."

"Don't you know that the East Warehouse of the Consort's Mansion is where the palace's dowry is placed?" The Eldest Princess looked at Chu Yunxi dumbfounded and said.

Chu Yunxi didn't meet her eyes, but shook his head, tilting his head to look around.

"Forget about it, I'll ask you again, what I got is smallpox, and it's not life-threatening, right?" The eldest princess looked at Chu Yunxi and asked, because usually people with symptoms of smallpox will die within three to five days. Death, that's why the eldest princess felt the difference.

"Small smallpox, medium smallpox, and small smallpox have exactly the same symptoms, and the way of infection is exactly the same, but the fatality rate is different. Although His Highness is only a benign infection, the infection of small smallpox is also in danger of one percent of his life. Maybe His Highness will become that person." What about one percent? No one can tell, His Highness came to me for this matter?" Chu Yunxi stopped what he was doing, looked at the eldest princess indifferently, and tried his best to show a calm expression.

The eldest princess looked at Chu Yunxi, her eyes met, this time it was the eldest princess who looked away first, she tilted her head slightly, looked at the medicinal materials on the table, and said to Chu Yunxi in a low voice: "I came to you this time, I hope you can help the prince. The situation is chaotic now, and I have trouble moving. Nearly half of the troops in Huizhou City are in your hands. Only you can help him. Chengqian may not be a qualified prince yet, but I really don’t want to Seeing that something happened to him, if Chengqian has any accidents, I will die without face after seeing my mother, if you help him, you should also help me."

Chu Yunxi looked at the eldest princess who was staring at her after speaking. The eldest princess should have never begged for help in such a low voice, her face was a little stiff.

"If I don't help, what will happen to Your Highness?" Chu Yunxi said slowly, turning his eyes away.

"The emperor is suspicious, the crown prince is powerless, the soldiers are few, the plague is everywhere, and people's hearts are scattered. What can we do now?" The eldest princess smiled sadly, looking at Chu Yunxi and said.

The eldest princess is right, and she sees the current situation clearly.Even if we know that cowpox can be prevented and controlled, the plague is limited by manpower, and those people are still peaceful in this short period of time, lingering on, muddling along, but they don't know that the situation in Huizhou is approaching an abyss, and the situation is like walking on thin ice. After the plague, once troops are sent in, it will be a disaster.

"Do you think I can turn the tide?" Chu Yunxi smiled wryly, and said, "The actual military power is in Li Mo's hands, and I can't do anything."

"Then why do you still come to Huizhou? Did you fall into despair after giving hope? Or what do you want to help?" The eldest princess looked at Chu Yunxi with a frozen face.

"The eldest princess really turns her face like a book." Chu Yunxi said with a sneer, and the atmosphere became a little tense when the words came out.

"To each other." The eldest princess said blankly, as if feeling that it would be useless to say more, she got up and wanted to leave.

"The eldest princess let Mrs. Hua and her party go to the border, so she must have left behind?" Chu Yunxi smiled and said to the eldest princess carelessly.

"Let go?" said the eldest princess, she turned and looked back at Chu Yunxi, staring straight at him. If eyes could kill, Chu Yunxi must have been cut to pieces.

"Isn't it?" Chu Yunxi's tone was firm, and his expression seemed to have determined that Mrs. Hua was able to reach the border because of the eldest princess. Otherwise, the wise and unparalleled eldest princess would definitely get rid of Mrs. Hua at all costs.

"It turns out that you have always suspected me, but why did you let her go? Besides, you overestimated me too much. Back then, the imperial court had issued a arrest warrant, and I sent most of the secret guards to search, but there was no one. It is reported that Mrs. Hua was able to reach the border because of the help of a traitor, otherwise how would she pass through the checkpoints?" The eldest princess frowned and said to Chu Yunxi, more like defending herself with grief and indignation.

"Is it a traitor?" Chu Yunxi asked in shock, and at the same time felt a chill in her heart. If what the eldest princess said was true, then the traitor might still be by their side. She would rather believe that it was the border where the eldest princess let Mrs. Hua go than I hope there is a mole around me.

"Yes, a spy who has been hiding very deeply, and he should still be with us, maybe one of the people we know!" The eldest princess said in a cold tone, thinking that she hated the spy to the bone.

"Are there any doubts?" Chu Yunxi also frowned and asked.

The eldest princess shook her head, and said, "Now we have to find out the traitor, and we must find a way to leave Huizhou quickly and continue to move south." As he spoke, he looked at Chu Yunxi again.

"Well, I do have a way to avoid King Qi and Li Tai's army going south." Chu Yunxi said, but there was no happy expression on his face.

"What method?" The eldest princess asked hastily upon hearing this.

But Chu Yunxi looked at the eldest princess, and asked slowly: "If one day my identity is revealed, how will Your Highness respond?"

The eldest princess was stunned for a long time when she heard the words, and Chu Yunxi had been carefully observing the changes in her expression.Identity disclosure naturally refers to the daughter's identity. If one day, everyone in the world knows that the eldest princess' son-in-law is a woman, how will the eldest princess deal with herself at that time?How will he deal with the eyes of the world?

"Good or bad depends on whether you stay or go." The eldest princess thought for a long time before she said this sentence awkwardly. She hoped that Chu Yunxi could understand her meaning. She never hated Chu Yunxi's approach.

"So what if you stay?" Chu Yunxi looked into the eldest princess's eyes and asked slowly, her heart was beating like thunder, but her tone was inexplicably cautious and tentative.

"May we live and die together!" The eldest princess looked at her with a serious expression.

Chu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "So what?"

The eldest princess looked at the person in front of her, her heart seemed to be floating in the air, unable to go up or down, for a long time, she seemed to accept her fate, and then slowly said: "Frankly accept it!"

"Is this true?" Chu Yunxi wanted to confirm.

"High fives!" The eldest princess raised her right palm with a firm expression.

When the two palms pressed together, Chu Yunxi sighed softly, but with a sudden smile on his face, he said to the eldest princess: "I will accompany you until I die."

With just eight words, the uneasy heart suddenly calmed down. At that moment, the eldest princess clearly saw her own shadow in Chu Yunxi's starry eyes. There was a smile in the shadow's eyes, and the smile was Relaxation like never before.
