Chapter 143: The Lame Princess vs. the Blind Hostage Prince Consort (20)
Lu Cha held a bowl of dark medicinal juice and smiled maliciously: "Open your mouth."
Xun Ji's eyes flickered slightly, but he did as he was told with a shy look on his face.
The little girl didn't use a wooden spoon, but directly put the bowl to his lips and poured in the extremely bitter medicine.
"Cough cough..." Xun Ji choked, and his already burning throat became even more painful.
She knows how to feed!
But the next moment, a touch of sweetness was pressed between the bitter lips.
"award."
Xun Ji was stunned.
Only then did I realize that what Lu Cha was holding in his hand were a few small brown-yellow malt candies.
Maybe he was in a hurry to go out, so he just wrapped it with a handkerchief.
She was afraid that the medicine would make me feel bitter, so she came to give me some candy?
Lu Cha rubbed Xun Ji's head, like patting a well-behaved dog: "Next time, if you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me."
"I will listen."
But whether to do it or not is not certain~
After telling him to have a good rest, Lu Cha moved his wheelchair away leisurely.
Xun Ji raised his hand and gently fiddled with the malt candy on the pillow. The sweetness that filled his mouth seemed to flow into his heart.
So this is what sugar tastes like.
Before, he had only watched others eat it.
At this time, the secret guard jumped into the room through the window and knelt on one knee respectfully:
"Master, Young Master Gu has sent assassins, and they have been stopped by our subordinates. Do you want to deal with them?"
Because he was dissatisfied with the emperor's decision, Gu Shaofu secretly hired a killer to take Lu Cha's life.
She will definitely become as miserable as Gu Jingyuan.
Xun Ji bit the candy that Lu Cha had just fed him, and it tasted a little sweeter and richer.
The peach blossom eyes hidden behind the ribbon showed a hint of greed.
It was like a hungry beast wandering through the vast snow and wind, finally catching a delicious prey but not in a hurry to tear it apart.
Instead, he first grabbed the scorching warmth brought by that fragile body to drive away his own coldness.
"Deal with it cleanly and don't disturb anyone in the Princess's Mansion."
Her life can only belong to him.
-
Main courtyard.
Seeing Nanny Li standing outside the bedroom, sticking talismans on the door, Lu Cha was confused: "Nanny, what are you doing?"
"At midnight today, a fire broke out inexplicably at the Nanyue Pavilion, killing several young servants. Coincidentally, they were all people who had been to the mansion last night. I felt it was a bit strange, so I went to ask for a talisman to avoid disturbing His Highness."
As she spoke, Nanny Li also put one on Lu Cha's wheelchair.
“…”
Lu Cha could almost guess who did it.
The little villain has silenced everyone who has seen the dance!
Aunt Li, who was thinking about entertaining Lu Cha, spoke boldly:
"Your Highness, Nanyue Pavilion is closed now. Why don't I go to Qingbairen's house and find some good-looking ones?"
"Although I don't know how to serve, my youthful inexperience has its own unique charm."
“?!”
Lu Cha stopped Nanny Li's thoughts in time and said seriously, "Xun Ji will be jealous."
"From now on, you don't have to look for it anymore."
Otherwise, after killing all the minor villains, she might be the one to take the blame again.
Seeing that Lu Cha "doted" Xun Ji so much, Nanny Li had to give up her thoughts and began to consider whether to send someone to deliver more tonic foods to Xiyuan.
After all, the prince consort looks very weak.
-
More than two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Since there was no evidence that the eldest princess abused Gu Jingyuan, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Yuan Ting lifted Lu Cha's house arrest order a few days in advance.
Luo Jinshuang already knew Chu Jinghong's true identity. She not only helped to restore Lu Tea's reputation among the people, but also made the business bigger and bigger.
This day.
The study in the Princess's Mansion.
Lu Cha listened to Luo Jin Shuang carefully, but from time to time he would steal cakes from the food box on the table with his little hands and quickly stuff them into his mouth to eat.
Luo Jinshuang, who was counting the banknotes, didn't notice anything unusual and smiled brightly: "These several million taels are only half a day's profit."
"Most of the profitable restaurants in Beijing are ours now. Once the newly opened ones are stable, I will start doing other things."
"We will strive to make His Highness have many concubines as soon as possible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the study door was pushed open with a creak.
Xun Ji walked in stumblingly, leaning on a cane, his timid voice tinged with trembling:
"Your Highness, are you going to keep a concubine?"
Immersed in the delicious deer tea, he raised his little head blankly.
Who? What's going on?
"Well, I was just joking with Your Highness." Luo Jinshuang turned around awkwardly and suddenly caught a glimpse of the empty food box.
Across the table, Lu Cha had a silly look on his face, his chubby cheeks moving, and he was holding a half-eaten pastry in his hand.
Luo Jinshuang's temples jumped. "In just one stick of incense, all the pastries I brought for His Highness for three days are gone?"
“?!”
Oh no! The little heroine found out!
Lu Cha innocently swallowed the food in his mouth, forgetting Xun Ji who came in for a moment, and made up a lie in a soft voice:
"It's hot, and I'm afraid they'll go bad, so I eat them all to avoid wasting them~"
“…” I don’t believe you!
Luo Jinshuang had no choice but to find some digestive medicine for Lu Cha.
Through the ribbon, Xun Ji saw the delicate little girl, smiling and acting coquettishly with others, completely ignoring him. A sense of resentment inexplicably arose in his chest.
He raised his hand to his lips, coughed a few times, and said in a hoarse voice, "Please forgive me, Your Highness. I have a cold and it was not my intention to disturb your conversation with Miss Luo Er."
"It's been almost three months, and you're still not healed?"
Lu Cha looked suspiciously at Xun Ji, who looked like he would fall down at the slightest gust of wind.
During this period, the little villain stayed in the West Garden and did not go out, using illness as an excuse.
Could it be that he is not developing his power secretly, but is about to die?
Xun Ji lowered his head in shame: "I am weak, so I keep repeating it over and over again."
"Your Highness, I recently met an old doctor. Why don't you invite him to your residence and have him examine the Prince Consort?" Luo Jinshuang placed the tea in front of Lu Cha.
"I heard that even eye diseases can be cured."
Xun Ji froze.
Lu Cha looked at him teasingly: "I think this is a good idea."
"I have had this eye disease for many years and have given up hope." Xun Ji coughed lightly and said:
"Your Highness is going to the palace to admire the moon tonight. I will go back to the West Garden to drink medicine first, so as not to disturb you when I accompany you."
After he finished speaking, Xun Ji bowed and left with the help of a cane, his steps somewhat hurried.
Lu Cha couldn't help laughing.
Even the little villain gets scared sometimes.
Luo Jinshuang looked at Lu Cha, who was smiling with his chin in his hand, with confusion.
Why do I feel that both His Highness and the Prince Consort are a little weird?
-
You hour, the imperial garden of the palace.
Exquisite and dazzling palace lanterns were hung everywhere, and palace servants came and went, each busy with their own work, placing fine wine and delicious food on the low tables one by one.
Because the banquet had not yet started, Yuan Ting and the ministers in the court were all waiting and discussing matters in a nearby side hall.
The relatives of officials came to the garden first and exchanged greetings with each other.
But no one dared to go to the octagonal pavilion with the best location, because the eldest princess of the current dynasty was there.
The incident at the last palace banquet was so widely spread that everyone was tactful and stayed away from it or peek.
Inside the Octagonal Pavilion.
Unlike the laughter and joy in the distance, it is unusually quiet here.
Xun Ji sat obediently on the stone bench, while Lingying stood behind him.
Lu Cha yawned boredly: "How long will it take for Shuang Shuang to arrive?"
"About a quarter of an hour." Lingying took out the candied fruit she had prepared in advance.
"Miss Luo Er has to pay her respects to Concubine Luo before entering the palace. Your Highness can eat something while waiting."
Lu Cha raised her eyebrows slightly.
She had been staying in the mansion recently, eating and drinking every day, and had forgotten that Luo Zelan had climbed from a concubine to a concubine.
The little heroine should not be bullied.
Just as Lu Cha was about to go and take a look, Huipin, who was dressed in her finery, came over and saluted, saying:
"I greet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
