Upon transmigration, Chu Ci became the wronged true daughter in a story of a true and false young lady. Forced medicine, substitute marriage, then exile—a triple threat?
No fear, no fear. Wit...
Chapter 210 Confession
After hearing Chu Ci's words, the Fifth Prince was choked and speechless for a moment, but he did not give up his suspicion of his eldest brother.
Until the purple-robed envoy walked in hurriedly, holding the King of Shu with a broken knife stuck in his chest.
When the Fifth Prince saw this scene, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Big Brother..."
The eldest prince's face was as pale as paper at this time, but he still tried his best to force a smile.
He said weakly, "Old Fifth, you've finally woken up? It seems the Purple Envoy was right. I might still be able to save my life."
After saying that, he turned his head with great effort, stared closely at Chu Ci, and said in a slightly weak but firm voice: "Princess Yixin, come on. Draw your sword——"
At this moment, the King of Shu's eyes revealed a determination to face death, as if he was ready to face anything.
After hearing what the King of Shu said, Chu Ci couldn't help but roll his eyes.
I secretly complained in my heart: What does he take healing for? Does he think it is as simple and easy as pulling potatoes in the ground?
Chu Ci secretly complained in his heart, but he maintained an absolutely professional and service-oriented attitude on his face, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Highness, the King of Shu, my master and I will give you a comprehensive examination first."
"Also, do you need anesthesia when you draw your sword? Anesthetic, five thousand taels. I guarantee you won't feel any pain."
"Yes, of course. Give me all the good medicine you have. I promise I will never go back on my word." The eldest prince seemed to be angered by Chu Ci's words, and his voice was much higher than before.
As soon as the eldest prince finished speaking, the attendant who had been following closely beside him immediately pulled out a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket. His movements were quick and decisive. "Refund if there is more, and make up if there is less."
He is frugal with words, but he doesn't miss any key points.
How great it would be if I had a subordinate like this. Look at how efficient they are in doing things. It's really enviable.
As Chu Ci thought about this, he couldn't help but glance at the thick stack of banknotes again, and secretly estimated in his heart that judging from the thickness, it should be around two thousand taels.
"Okay, just wait and see!" Chu Ci smiled and comforted the eldest prince. He quickly turned to Divine Doctor Hua and said, "Master, I'll give you half."
Hearing this, Doctor Hua's eyes immediately lit up, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "It's just right, I, an old man, have had enough to eat recently."
Grand Prince, if it weren't for...
However, no matter how many flags he had in his heart, because his life was still firmly in the hands of Chu Ci and Doctor Hua, in the end, he had no choice but to choose to turn a blind eye.
Fortunately, the eldest prince’s anger was not in vain.
Half an hour later, the broken knife in his body was successfully pulled out, and even the wound was sutured beautifully.
However, the Purple-Robed Envoy went out again and did not return until midnight.
At this time, the three wounded soldiers had actually woken up from their sleep.
To be precise, they were originally immersed in sleep.
However, the extremely tempting fragrance that wafted over kept stimulating their olfactory nerves. The fragrance seemed to have a magical power, pulling them out of their sleep bit by bit, so that they gradually woke up from their sleep.
As soon as Fan Jingrui opened his eyes, he saw Chu Ci picking up a fried prawn with chopsticks, then leisurely putting it into his mouth. While chewing it carefully, he said slowly, "Are you awake?"
"My wife, I am a little hungry. Could you please feed me?" Fan Jingrui thought of himself as a patient, so he asked without hesitation.
At this time, the Fifth Prince was also growling with hunger. He frowned, his face full of impatience, and then said, "I'm hungry too. No need for the shrimp. Just give me a simple bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."
After saying this, he seemed to feel that it was not enough, and quickly turned to look at the eldest prince beside him, and greeted him warmly: "Brother, do you want to eat anything? Don't be polite with us."
Chu Ci rolled his eyes upon hearing this, and said with a hint of sarcasm and helplessness, "Oh, what a pity! Now you can only smell the fragrance, but you can't eat it. Forget about these delicacies for now."
After saying this, he deliberately smacked his lips, as if he was savoring the delicious taste, or as if he was deliberately provoking them.
It's outrageous.
The eldest prince really didn't expect that Chu Ci would get along with his fifth brother in this way on a daily basis?
His eyes were sparkling, full of curiosity and novelty. He kept looking back and forth between Chu Ci and his wife and the fifth prince and his two companions, as if he was observing some interesting phenomenon.
So much so that he didn't notice the purple-robed envoy who knelt silently as soon as he came in.
Seeing this, Chu Ci felt that it was almost time, so he pushed out the purple-robed envoy who had been ignored by everyone and said, "Didn't you notice anything different in this room?"
Hearing Chu Ci say this, the purple-robed envoy quickly moved a few steps to a conspicuous place.
Because of their different positions, the Embroidered Robe Law Enforcement Officers, even though they were princes, could not order others around at will.
Therefore, when they saw the Purple-Robed Envoy kneeling on the ground, they couldn't help but feel a little surprised and nervous, but they still chose to play dumb.
"Purple-robed Envoy, what's wrong with you?" The Fifth Prince asked in a daze, looking completely confused.
The eldest prince was also a master of acting. Although he clearly couldn't get up, he deliberately pretended to exert force, as if he was struggling to get up. Then, he pretended to be in great pain and said, "Purple-robed Envoy, please get up quickly."
The eldest prince and the fifth prince are good at acting, and the purple-robed envoy who can fight his way out of a crowd of clever people is no less capable.
At that moment, the guilt on his face grew even more intense. "I'm sorry, the assassination of the two Your Highnesses was due to my negligence. I thought the remnants of the previous dynasty were nothing to worry about, but I never expected them to be hiding such a huge force. This is my fault for underestimating the enemy."
"Remnants of the previous dynasty? Has the Purple-Robed Envoy found out?" The Fifth Prince asked first with a frown.
Although there is no problem with the Purple-Robed Envoy's abilities, the Fifth Prince and the First Prince have both dealt with the remnants of the previous dynasty.
You know, if the remnants of the previous dynasty really had the powerful abilities that the Purple-Robed Envoy described, they wouldn't have been hiding for so many years.
Therefore, they were skeptical of what the Purple-Robed Envoy said. The eldest prince also looked at the Purple-Robed Envoy with a serious gaze, as if waiting for him to explain further.
The purple-robed envoy was obviously prepared. He calmly took out a stack of papers from his arms.
Then he said solemnly, "This is the confession of the assassins whom I captured with great difficulty. After interrogation, they confessed directly."
"These confessions detailed the various plots and deployments of the remnants of the previous dynasty, as well as the extent of their power."
After saying that, he handed over the stack of confessions.
