Chapter 344: Bad Luck
When Fan Jingrui heard this, he subconsciously reached out and covered Chu Ci's mouth without thinking.
Chu Ci was not annoyed, his eyes were shining.
No wonder every time I confront the traitors of the previous dynasty, it always feels like it will end badly. It turns out that this is the problem!
However, after the excitement subsided, Chu Ci realized belatedly that Fan Jingrui's hand was covering her nose, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She slapped Fan Jingrui's hand covering her mouth with all her might, moaning, "Let go! Let go! I can't breathe!"
Fan Jingrui quickly let go, thinking in his heart that he must never cover Chu Ci's mouth again.
But for some reason, perhaps because he was too nervous, or perhaps because he had just covered it too tightly, when he let go, he used too much force and threw Chu Ci to the ground without noticing.
As luck would have it, there was a small charcoal stove where Chu Ci fell.
There was a dull "bang" sound, and Chu Ci's head hit the edge of the charcoal stove, and blood gushed out instantly.
The bright red blood flowed down her forehead and dripped onto the ground.
"It's bleeding?" Chu Ci subconsciously touched the wound on his forehead with his hand, his face full of disbelief, his eyes filled with astonishment and confusion, "No way, the side effects are so severe?"
Seeing this, Fan Jingrui looked anxious, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being careless. Just bear with it for now! I will definitely find a way to help you."
Fan Jingrui was about to come over to help Chu Ci. However, he didn't expect that his feet would suddenly slip, and he lost his balance and fell directly on Chu Ci.
Chu Ci gasped in pain, "Ah, you're going to kill me!"
If Chu Ci thought Fan Jingrui's statement was exaggerated before, now she felt that her life was really in danger!
At this moment, she only felt waves of piercing pain in the wound, and her head was dizzy, as if she was about to faint in the next second.
Just at this extremely embarrassing moment, the door of the tea room creaked open.
The prince looked at the chaotic and confusing scene before him and asked hesitantly, "What are you two doing?"
His face was full of confusion and puzzlement, and his eyes moved back and forth between Fan Jingrui and Chu Ci.
Chu Ci, being looked at like this, felt even more angry. "What are you looking at? Why don't you find someone to help us up?"
Upon hearing this, the prince's face instantly showed tension, and he thought Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui were seriously injured.
He hurriedly ordered the eunuch beside him, "Go get the imperial physician immediately! Act quickly! There can't be any delay!"
Then he turned to the guards beside him and said anxiously, "Hurry over and help them. Be careful not to aggravate their injuries."
"Yes." The eunuch accepted the order and prepared to trot away.
When Chu Ci saw this, he thought to himself that this was not going to work.
Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing for her?
He quickly shouted, "Wait, we're fine. No need to call a doctor."
Upon hearing this, the prince raised his hand and called the young eunuch back. He looked at Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui with suspicion, "Are you sure?"
Fan Jingrui's face flushed crimson as he stammered, "Sure, we were just unlucky and careless, so it happened like this. It's really nothing serious. Your Highness, there's no need to worry too much."
Unlucky? Hearing these two words, the prince couldn't help but think of Feng Yan's words after he regained consciousness. His face was filled with disbelief, and he murmured, "So soon?"
Then his eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something important, "What about your wedding?"
"I can only..." Chu Ci was about to say that it would be postponed, but before he could finish his words, Fan Jingrui eagerly interrupted him. "My wife, I don't want to wait any longer!"
At this time, the guards beside the prince happened to help the two men up.
Fan Jingrui simply reached out and held Chu Ci's hand tightly, his eyes fiery and determined: "No matter what happens, I want to marry you as soon as possible, and I don't want to wait even a day longer."
The prince, although he understood Fan Jingrui's feelings of cherishing his life after surviving the disaster.
However, such eagerness is a bit too unrestrained.
He couldn't help but frown slightly, cleared his throat and coughed, then said with a reminder: "Father and Mother are still waiting for you in the Imperial Study. Don't delay here too much, it's better to go quickly."
Fan Jingrui, who was interrupted, felt dissatisfied with the prince for the first time.
After all, at this moment his heart was filled with deep affection for Chu Ci and his eagerness to get married, so he couldn't help but feel annoyed by being interrupted so suddenly.
However, he soon suppressed this feeling of dissatisfaction with his strong self-control.
"Thank you, Prince, for your reminder." Fan Jingrui said thank you.
But no matter how the prince listened, the words that came out of Fan Jingrui's mouth seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with a bit of suppressed anger and helplessness.
The prince thought he was mistaken, waved his hand, and said, "You're welcome. If you have nothing else, please go over quickly!"
It's just that when this guy is unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in his teeth.
Even though Chu Ci was being carefully supported by a eunuch, he still tripped hard on the high threshold of the imperial study when he reached the door.
Chu Ci cried out "Ouch" and fell forward.
Fortunately, the two eunuchs were very strong and used all their strength to hold Chu Ci tightly, thus preventing her from falling to the ground.
If it weren't for the two eunuchs' quick reaction and great strength, Chu Ci's face would probably have been disfigured.
This scene was also clearly seen by the emperor, the empress and all the ministers in the imperial study.
"This situation? No way..." A minister frowned and muttered softly, his face full of confusion.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.
In contrast, the queen, who had always been kind, now walked forward with a worried look on her face, gently took Chu Ci's hand, and said, "How could this child be so careless? Are you hurt?"
The queen seemed to care about Chu Ci, but in fact she quietly put all the blame on Chu Ci.
Sure enough, at the critical moment, the closeness of relatives became apparent.
Although this is human nature, Chu Ci will not tolerate it.
She bowed slightly, with a perfectly balanced smile on her face, and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I've always been so lucky, and I'm a little uncomfortable with this sudden misfortune. I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself, Your Majesty!"
In fact, everyone present knew who was the joke.
"You..." The queen was so angry that her face turned blue. She pointed at Chu Ci for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence.
The emperor knew the queen's thoughts, but he was somewhat tolerant of Chu Ci. So he dragged Feng Yan out and asked, "Director Feng, do you have any solution for Princess Yixin's situation?"
