Chen Jinchu was wrapped in a large silver mouse fur cloak. He could not conceal his frailty and was incompatible with his surroundings.
"We meet again, Mr. Gu." Chen Jinchu said.
The jade-white fingertips were gently placed on the amber cup, and the weak gesture of the flower shining on the water made Gu Qingtan feel inexplicably frightened.
"Why is the girl so weak?" Gu Qingtan asked.
Chen Jinchu smiled lightly and said, "Time is also destiny. This tea is good, but is it made with peach dew?"
In spring, you catch the dew on the peach blossoms, store it in a cellar, and use it to make tea. It is not only elegant and sweet, but also increases your cultivation.
Gu Qingtan raised her eyes slightly and said, "Young lady is well-informed, she is Tao Lu."
Chen Jinchu asked Lianlian to order people to present jewelry and other objects, and said: "They are just some common things. Please don't dislike them, sir. Thank you for teaching Zhao Qinghui carefully and giving me an extra boost on this trip."
"No way." Gu Qingtan said coldly, "I have some affinity with him, but I just gave him some random advice."
Chen Jinchu did not force himself and said, "If I invite the young master to go to the Great Prayer, will the young master be willing?"
Gu Qingtan didn't even think about it and said: "I don't want to."
Chen Jinchu stood up, wrapped himself in a large cloak, nodded slightly, and said, "Sorry to bother you, take my leave."
When he came out, he saw Wei Zhao leaning on an old tree, resting his arms on his head and closing his eyes to meditate.
"You came out so soon?" Wei Zhao said with a smile. Under the sun, his teeth were especially white and neat.
Chen Jinchu said: "It seems that you are in a good mood."
Wei Zhao said: "It's good, after all, I can hug the princess's lap soon."
Chen Jinchu smiled but said nothing.
Wei Zhao added: "The Daqi royal family is more complicated than Tianyuan. Do you want me to introduce it to you?"
"What makes you think I'm unprepared?" Chen Jinchu said calmly.
Wei Zhao took two steps forward, picked up Chen Jinchu, and said, "Look at you, you're a little loser. You're out of breath after taking only two steps. I'd better hold you! How about it, do you have the strength?"
Chen Jinchu didn't object, he hooked his hand on Wei Zhao's neck and said calmly: "Wei Zhao, don't breathe!"
At this moment, Wei Zhao's chest was heaving violently.
Wei Zhao laughed with a sense of joy.
He carried Chen Jinchu into the carriage. Chen Jinchu did not drive him out of the carriage, but lay in his arms and asked quietly: "Is there really a spiritual spring in Daqi?"
Wei Zhao was slightly startled and said: "There should be some, but most people don't know that this is the secret of the Daqi royal family. I haven't found out yet."
Chen Jinchu closed his eyes and said, "I just want to live healthy. Without health, what's the use of a country."
Wei Zhao smiled and said: "Don't you still have a young master? Where can you find a rich and beautiful man like my young master?"
Chen Jinchu pinched his hand, but Wei Zhao caught it.
She didn't pull it out, just smiled.
Wei Zhao said: "You are so good, it really hurts me. So, it's not all a bad thing that you are sick."
Chen Jinchu said: "Let people speed up."
Two days later, they arrived at Daqi's land.
After walking for a few more days, we arrived at Huadu, the imperial city of Daqi.
Mu Lingxi came to greet him with a guard of honor, as well as some officials from the capital.
She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a cool and arrogant temperament. Standing in front of the honor guard, she was naturally noble, making people dare not look directly at her. The officials behind her also became foils.
Mu Shuo didn't come, but Mu Lingxi came to greet him with the royal guards and officials, which was interesting.
A woman who has not yet entered the genealogy, was born from a foreign family, has been living among the people of other countries for many years, and her bloodline has yet to be confirmed. Even if she is made a princess, according to secular etiquette, she is still a humble existence, but she can be picked up by hundreds of officials and royal guards!
How virtuous and capable she is, she is not worthy!
If virtue is not matched, there is only one result: being pushed to the forefront.
I'm afraid these people will regard her as a thorn in their side in the future, and they will at least try to embarrass her overtly or covertly - or even kill her!
If she is submissive, these people will only think that she is even more unworthy, and I am afraid it will be more difficult to end the situation.
Fortunately, she still has a trump card.
"Please, Your Majesty," Chen Jinchu said.
With Mu Yicheng here, there is room for maneuver in everything.
"They are here to greet you. When I enter Huadu on weekdays, I have never been greeted by such a formation." Mu Yicheng tilted his head to her side and whispered, "If you ask me, I may be able to help.
you."
Chen Jinchu whispered: "My good brother..."
She fell directly to the side, and just when she was about to hit the ground, she was supported by Mu Yicheng.
Mu Yicheng said: "That's it."
While he called for people to help Chen Jinchu for treatment, he clasped his fists and said: "Thank you for coming to welcome me, my brother and sister. You have also seen that my sister is weak and she has been running all the way and passed out. Let her rest for a few days."
, the two of us will hold a banquet at the palace to thank you all."
His words were polite, but they undoubtedly further aroused the inner dissatisfaction of some ministers: they did not want to come to the regent's palace, they came under the emperor's order, and were dismissed by Mu Yicheng with just a few words. The regent
The palace really doesn’t take the emperor seriously!
When Chen Jinchu sat in the carriage and entered the city gate, she saw someone looking at her resentfully through the half-open window. The look in his eyes was like a dagger tempered with poison, which made her shudder - this big prayer was indeed a dragon's den and a tiger's den.
Mu Yicheng rode next to him and sneered: "You should cheer up."
Chen Jinchu said: "Why, you won't act anymore?"
Before entering Huadu, Mu Yicheng looked for him affectionately several times.
Mu Yicheng said: "You are worthy of my acting only if you survive and are useful."
"To be honest, it doesn't sound as disgusting as before." Chen Jinchu said.
Chen Jinchu took out a brocade box from his pillow. Inside, there were four pills lying quietly. The dark red pills were glowing with a faint light.
Wei Zhao put his hand on the box and said, "You have to think about it."
Chen Jinchu said: "I don't seem to have many choices. If I can't gather my energy for this trip to the Dragon Pond and the Tiger's Den, I can't think of any other way to survive other than death."
She took a pill and put it in her mouth.
These are the medicinal materials that Ye Fusu spent a lot of money to find, including several rare poisons in the world, and asked Lu Boyuan to refine them into pills that can stimulate the potential of life. However, every time he uses them, his body will be weaker than before. If all four pills are taken,
, helpless.
After entering the city, she was invited to the palace before she could even enter the regent's palace.
Wei Zhao said: "I will accompany you in."
Chen Jinchu said: "No, if you go, it will cause unnecessary trouble. Although I don't know why the person inside summoned me, it doesn't seem like a bad thing."
She and Wei Zhao looked at each other, which showed that although Mu Shuo was praying for help, the little emperor was not at the mercy of others, otherwise he would not have announced her entry into the palace at this stage.
Not only could she use this to explore the little emperor's methods, but she could also test Mu Shuo's trump card.
She didn't believe that if she really had the role as rumored, she didn't believe that Mu Shuo would let her enter the palace.
