Chapter 181 Adding fuel to the fire
Prince Rui arrived outside Chu Ci's courtyard and stood at the door for a long time, not daring to go in.
He looked at the two busy figures inside and knew that they were treating patients, but Lin Feng's words lingered in his mind for a long time.
Cang Mo prepared himself mentally for a long time at the gate of the yard before walking inside.
As soon as he reached the door of the house, Cang Mo shot out a sharp look as soon as he stepped in.
Prince Rui quickly dodged and took a step back.
The eldest brother stood at the door and looked at King Rui coldly, "She doesn't want to see you."
Prince Rui poked his head inside, unwilling to leave. "Xiaoci, I can explain this matter. I didn't expect you to be injured so seriously."
The eldest brother took a step directly towards Prince Rui, blocking his sight completely. "Do you need me to remind you? Prince Rui has made an indelible contribution to the little girl's transformation."
The eldest brother said this with gritted teeth, looking into King Rui's eyes, wishing he could tear him into pieces.
Cang Mo opened his mouth to explain, but then he realized that what his senior brother said was right. He really contributed a lot to his little fox becoming like this.
Cang Mo looked towards the bedroom and said, "Big Brother, I want to go in and see her."
The eldest brother crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Prince Rui, I'll say it again, she doesn't want to see you at all right now."
Cang Mo drooped his eyelids, thinking that the person in front of him was Little Fox's senior brother, and he still had to respect him well, "Senior Brother, whether she wants to see me or not, I want to hear her say it herself."
"Also, even if there are any misunderstandings between us, she, Chu Ci, is still my Princess Rui, and that will never change in this lifetime."
The eldest brother's face changed. He knew that what King Rui said was true, but he didn't want to admit it. "No one can say for sure until the last moment."
Prince Rui had a bad temper and his aura was instantly released. He wanted to take action but was afraid that Chu Ci would blame him when she woke up, so he didn't dare to do anything.
The two people were at loggerheads, neither of them giving in.
"Chunhua!" A voice came from the bathroom. The two people who were about to fight suddenly took a step back, and the fierce looks on their faces quickly subsided.
Chunhua was standing aside watching the fun. When she heard the young lady calling her, she quickly put down the teacup in her hand and said, "I'm coming."
As soon as Chunhua entered the bathroom, she felt a mist in front of her eyes.
"Master, are you done soaking? I'll serve you." Chunhua helped Chu Ci dry herself and put on her clothes. Her hair, which had just been dried, was loosely draped over her back.
She walked out of the bathroom and sat down at the table. Qiuyue came over with a pot of scalding hot water and said, "Miss, drink some hot water first."
Chu Ci saw the eldest brother standing at the door and was a little curious, "Elder brother, what are you doing standing at the door? Come in quickly."
The eldest brother sneered and closed the door. He walked over to Chu Ci and sat down to drink some water. He whispered, "Your body will be much weaker after this. You must take good care of yourself."
Chu Ci nodded perfunctorily, "Big Brother, I'm also a doctor. I know my own body. What were you doing standing at the door just now?"
Before Cang Mo, who was standing outside, could say anything, the eldest brother said directly, "It's okay. I don't know where this lunatic came from, but I chased him out."
Chu Ci looked towards the door suspiciously. Just as he was about to ask, he saw the door being pushed open suddenly and Prince Rui walked in.
The smile on Chu Ci's face disappeared instantly, and he looked at Prince Rui expressionlessly, "Excuse me, Prince Rui, what brings you here?"
If Chu Ci's cold attitude cheered Cang Mo up, then the two words "King Rui" made him feel cold all over.
These two words stretched the distance between them to an infinite distance.
"Little fox, I can explain this matter. I didn't know you were so seriously injured, so I called you over."
"Originally, I had no intention of revealing you, but General Dingbei fought countless battles throughout his life, and his entire family died on the battlefield, leaving only this little girl. If it weren't for the last resort, I would never have revealed you, let alone called you over when I knew you were injured."
Chu Ci lowered his head and said nothing.
In fact, if this is the case, General Dingbei has made so many contributions to the country, and this little girl is the only one left in his family. She needs to undergo medical treatment. She can understand it, but she is unhappy.
The reason why I was unhappy was that I was annoyed with that little girl. I could tell at a glance that she was full of tricks and she didn't deserve to be in the right place.
No, neither the father nor the son are good people.
Cang Mo saw that Chu Ci's face had relaxed a little, so he quickly continued, "I'm sorry, I know this matter was wrong, it's my fault, I can promise that I won't do it again in the future."
The eldest brother stood up and blocked Cang Mo's sight with his broad body. "No forgiveness, we won't forgive you. You admit your mistake once, and the little girl almost lost her life. Why?"
Chu Ci nodded, what the senior brother said made sense.
Cang Mo saw Chu Ci nod, and his mind was about to explode, "What should I do to make you forgive me?"
Cang Mo is not the kind of person who can guess, so it is most reliable to ask directly.
Chu Ci looked at him and tilted his head, "What is your relationship with that little girl?"
Cang Mo was confused. "Which little girl? Who else is with me besides you?"
Chu Ci picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at Prince Rui. "Which little girl? You held me very tightly when you were riding horses, and I leaned very close to you when I fell into your arms."
Cang Mo scratched the sides of his clothes awkwardly, "Little fox, I really have nothing to do with her. On the day we were riding, General Dingbei suddenly fell ill, and the carriage was full of doctors, so there was no room for her."
"The reason she's on my horse is because she doesn't know how to ride. If she had just found a random guard, Dingbei would definitely not be willing to march forward."
"But I swear on the reputation of the entire royal family that I didn't touch her."
Chu Ci saw that he spoke with certainty and thought carefully. His hands seemed to be pulling the reins, and the little girl was in his arms.
"That won't work either. If you really have a girl in mind, just let her wait here and then find a carriage to pick her up."
Cang Mo had a sad face, "Little fox, the emperor is still waiting for us. The time has been calculated by someone. We can't wait. Believe me."
Chu Ci tilted his head. "A young lady who grew up in the frontier can't ride a horse. This is really unheard of and unseen. I think what Senior Brother said is right."
Cang Mo was speechless. Before he could say anything, Lin Feng's voice rang out from outside, "Master, I have something to ask you."
Chu Ci looked at Cang Mo with amusement. Lin Feng said this, obviously asking him to go out. It seemed that he was hiding something from her.
Besides, she hadn't yet figured out what Princess Jingle had said.
The eldest brother stood aside and did not forget to add some firewood, "Girl, it's obvious from one look that I don't take you seriously. I'm hiding something from you."
Cang Mo felt numb all over when Chu Ci looked at him, and he shouted at Lin Feng outside, "Come in quickly and tell me."
