Chapter 302: "Simple" Chuci
The two of them were slightly stunned when they saw Chu Ci and the other two looking fine. But it was only for a moment before Prince Li shouted anxiously, "Feng Yan, how are you? Princess Yi Xin, young man Fan, what have you paid for this?"
Prince Li roared at the top of his lungs while personally checking the situation.
His eyes were wide open, full of worry and anxiety, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
During this time, his eyes kept suggesting Feng Yan to faint quickly.
Feng Yan is also a man who listens to advice. His eyes flashed and he already had an idea in his mind. If he said we should fall down, we should fall down!
Just before he collapsed, he did not forget to give Chu Ci and his wife a look to remind them: I am just pretending, don't worry.
Chu Ci looked at this scene and simply couldn't do anything to her.
She stood there blankly, her mouth slightly open, a look of confusion on her face.
At this time, Marquis Wucheng considerately walked up to the two of them, with a gentle smile on his face, and said softly: "You two don't know how to do it? Do you need my help?"
Chu Ci looked at the row of imposing soldiers behind Marquis Wu Cheng, his heart tightening. He quickly shook his head, then raised a finger and asked, "I just have one question. If the imperial physician comes here, he won't be able to tell, right?"
Wu Chenghou didn't expect that this was what Chu Ci was worried about, but he still explained calmly: "Don't worry, Doctor Jiang is the prince's man, and he will never let the news leak out."
"Oh, then I feel relieved." It just so happened that she hadn't slept well in the secret room before, so she no longer had to worry.
Chu Ci gave Fan Jingrui a direct look, then fell back easily and soon fell into a deep sleep, snoring softly.
Fan Jingrui felt helpless when he saw Chu Ci like this: he knew that Chu Ci would always be inexplicably careless at certain times. It would be okay if it was just some trivial matters on weekdays, but he didn't expect that at such a critical moment, she would be so careless.
However, looking at the soldiers behind Wu Chenghou who were eager to try and rubbing their hands.
Fan Jingrui secretly thought, "Oh no!" He said, "A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him." "No, no, no, I'm just worried about my wife. I've been holding on this whole time! But now it seems I can't hold on any longer!"
After saying that, Fan Jingrui didn't care whether there was anyone behind him or not. He closed his eyes and fell down straight away.
Cheng Hou hadn't expected Fan Jingrui to be this way, and he stood there for a long time before coming to his senses. His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
After seeing the soldiers behind him catch Fan Jingrui, he turned to look at Prince Li with reluctance, frowning and saying worriedly, "Your Highness, these three people don't look very smart. Are you sure your recent abnormal behavior is caused by them?"
Prince Li hadn't expected Chu Ci and the other two to be so funny, but he'd seen plenty of big scenes in his life, so he could still hold his nerve. So, he faked a cough and said, "Let's send them back to the guest room first, shall we?"
But as soon as Prince Li finished speaking, he suddenly realized that because he and Marquis Wucheng were so powerful, there was no one from the Feng family around him at the moment.
It's quite embarrassing!
Fortunately, the servant beside Prince Li was quite clever. Seeing this, he immediately said, "Your Highness, I've seen the courtyard next door. It's quiet and clean, and it seems that few people go there on weekdays. Why don't we carry Lord Feng and the others there first and place them there? Once the Feng family arrives, we can make further plans. What do you think?"
Prince Li was secretly pleased, but he did not agree immediately. He pondered for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons.
Instead, Marquis Wucheng excitedly shouted, "Alright, let's do it. I think this is a very good idea. Come, carry Lord Feng and the others over."
Chu Ci fell asleep and didn't feel anything about it. Instead, he slept soundly and had a beautiful dream.
Feng Yan and Fan Jingrui suffered a lot. They were carried by the soldiers, and the process was extremely painful.
Perhaps it was a habit developed from rescuing wounded soldiers on the battlefield for a long time, these soldiers were fast and steady.
However, the ups and downs of this mode of movement were too dramatic, making Feng Yan and Fan Jingrui feel dizzy, seeing stars, and their stomachs churning.
Therefore, when they felt the sunlight disappear from their heads and the light around them dimmed, they opened their eyes at the same time. They could no longer hold back and cried out, "Ugh—"
The few pieces of sweet and soft pea yellow that I had just eaten were vomited out at this moment, splattering everywhere. The sour smell of the vomit spread instantly, it was simply -
Prince Li and Marquis Wucheng both took a step back, expressions of disgust on their faces, and covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves.
After a long while, he managed to suppress his discomfort and said, "You guys, is this a sequelae?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Jingrui's face turned red, and his heart was filled with embarrassment and awkwardness.
But when he saw Feng Yan burying his head like an ostrich, as if he was staying out of the matter, Fan Jingrui could only bite the bullet and explain, "We..."
Just as he opened his mouth, before he could utter a single word, Chu Ci slowly woke up.
She wrinkled her nose with disgust, then yelled, "Oh my god, what's that smell? I just took a nap. Could it be that someone has thrown me into the garbage dump?"
Fan Jingrui's face was a dazzling spectacle, turning red and white. "Wife, we really couldn't help it." His voice was filled with guilt and helplessness.
Chu Ci paused after hearing this, then he noticed that he could still vaguely see the outline of pea-yellow vomit and residue in the pile of vomit not far away. "Well, anyway, we're awake now. Why not go to the study?"
But as soon as this suggestion was made, Prince Li hurriedly interrupted it: "It's better to go next door. Firstly, your bodies are currently weak and it's not suitable for you to move too frequently. Secondly, you need to recover quickly. After all, the royal family is still waiting for you to solve the mystery! There are many mysteries here, and they still need you to solve them."
However, Chu Ci keenly sensed a hint of something unusual, as if he had smelled a melon. "Mystery? These past two days, without the deliberate cover-up from certain powers, have you all discovered many unknown secrets?"
Prince Li and Marquis Wucheng couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this. Could it be that their previous guess was wrong?
Just as Prince Li was about to speak, Feng Yan, fearing they might be misled by Chu Ci, hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, the truth is complex and unfathomable. Even though the Feng family has a special heritage and possesses means and abilities that others cannot match, what we have uncovered is only the tip of the iceberg."
"As for the specific circumstances, I'm afraid it will require the concerted efforts of His Majesty and all the court officials to sort out the ins and outs of this matter."
However, Prince Li, as an old fox who had been in the officialdom for many years, did not believe Feng Yan's words at all.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze revealing shrewdness and suspicion, and then he turned his sharp gaze to stare at the relatively "innocent" Chu Ci.
