Chapter 329 City Gate
Fan Jingrui thought the prince was jealous of his sweet happiness, so he smiled and said calmly, "Your Highness, please come and have a drink at the wedding."
The prince had been busy with the affairs of the Northern Frontier and had not paid much attention to the changes in Fan Jingrui. Only now did he realize that Fan Jingrui was now so shameless!
Subconsciously, I wanted to ask: "What kind of situation did Fan Jingrui encounter in the past two years to make him so shameless?"
But when he thought about how everything that happened to the Fan family was caused by him, he suddenly felt deeply guilty, so he changed the words that were about to come out of his mouth to: "Okay, I will definitely go."
The poor sisters Qianxue and Qianyan didn't even know that they had just missed the only chance to get away from the horses along the way, and were pushed out by their own brother.
Fortunately, both of their bodies have been nourished by Chu Ci's spiritual spring, and their physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people.
Otherwise, riding along such a bumpy road would probably make your bones fall apart.
Even so, when the two saw the tall, majestic and magnificent gate tower of the capital from afar, they couldn't help but feel excited and their eyes welled up with tears.
Qianxue couldn't help but complain loudly: "Oh, we are finally going to the capital, my legs don't even belong to me anymore!"
"My bones are almost broken by the bumpy ride. If it weren't for my sister-in-law, I really don't know if I could have held on until now."
Qianyan was shocked to see Qianxue blurting out the truth without any scruples.
He nervously looked around and confirmed that there was no one around. Then he coughed anxiously and reminded her: "Eleventh sister, be careful with your words! Be careful with your words! Don't ruin big brother's plan."
However, Qianxue at this moment seemed as if her soul had left her body, her eyes were staring blankly at a certain place, as if she had lost her soul, and she had no reaction at all.
Qianyan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, running around in circles, and had to raise her voice again to remind him: "Eleventh sister, please stop talking!"
Unexpectedly, Qianxue's voice came at this time: "Ninth sister, it seems that we don't need to hide it anymore, what do you think?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her slender finger and pointed at the tea stall not far away, "Is that Grandpa and his group?"
Qianyan looked in the direction of Qianxue's finger and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's true! Big brother did a great job..."
Qianxue and Qianyan thought they spoke very softly, but they didn't know that Chu Ci had very sensitive ears, and she also had a cheat!
When Qianxue mentioned Grandpa, Chu Ci immediately launched a surprise attack on Fan Jingrui and asked coquettishly, "Husband, Grandpa and the others are back?"
Even though Fan Jingrui was usually calm in the face of emergencies, he was unable to cope with the situation.
He nodded subconsciously, but as soon as he nodded, he realized something was wrong.
Although he reacted quickly and tried to cover it up, the clever Chu Ci already knew the answer.
So he continued to ask: "It's not just grandpa and the others, who else is there, husband, don't hide it from me?"
Fan Jingrui didn't expect that he had kept the secret hidden all the way, and was about to reach the capital, but was exposed at this critical moment.
He could only say awkwardly: "My wife, there are also the Chu family."
"The Emperor has already found out the truth. Although the Chu couple helped Chu Ling'er a lot, it was not out of their own will. They were coerced and had no choice but to do so."
"Therefore, the emperor showed mercy and pardoned their crime of exile. He only demoted them to commoners."
Although her husband has not turned evil, he is not the kind of "holy father" who randomly shows kindness.
Therefore, this reason does not hold water in Chu Ci's eyes. "Husband, I want to hear the truth."
As Chu Ci spoke, he pointed to a place in the tea shed not far away, with a serious expression.
Fan Jingrui looked in the direction where Chu Ci pointed, and immediately felt the same as Qian Yan, regretting deeply, "Alas, how could I have forgotten that Yazhou and the capital are so far apart, how could they appear here together by such a coincidence?"
Now that the matter has been exposed, Fan Jingrui simply wiped his face and stopped covering it up, and started to play the victim.
"My dear, we have agreed before that we will hold the wedding again. I have put a lot of thought into preparing this surprise for you. You can't blame me."
Chu Ci heard this and stared at Fan Jingrui's face for a long time, then slowly said, "So, it's because of this? You let Qianxue and Qianyan suffer all the way through the wind and sun?"
"And grandpa and the others rushed from Yazhou to the capital in a short time. They must have been exhausted from the journey!"
After hearing what Chu Ci said, Fan Jingrui couldn't help but feel a hint of guilt in his eyes.
However, he was determined not to admit that he was wrong, and argued: "My wife, have you forgotten how many precious things you left for Grandpa and the others?"
"Grandpa and his family are in good health now, and are no worse than young people in their twenties."
These words were heard by the prince who had come over to investigate what was going on when he discovered that something was amiss here.
The prince asked with great interest, "What good thing is so miraculous? Would you be lucky enough to see it?"
Chu Ci:......
Fan Jingrui: …
How could they forget that along the way the prince had almost turned into a curious baby, full of curiosity about everything and always wanting to know the truth.
Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui looked at each other.
In the end, Chu Ci managed to force out a perfunctory smile and said, "They are just some ordinary pills for strengthening the body. How dare you worry about them, Your Highness?"
Chu Ci said, and took out a small porcelain bottle from his bag (in the space) and threw it to the prince without hesitation. "Here, this is it."
"But the effectiveness of this medicine varies from person to person. Don't be surprised if it has no effect. Maybe this medicine is not suitable for your constitution!"
Prince: He doesn't believe her. Princess Yixin's lies are just out of her mouth.
Therefore, although the prince accepted the medicine, he did not believe it at all. "Thank you very much. I heard that the best tonic medicine is customized according to one's own body quality. Otherwise, when you have time, Princess Yixin will also check my pulse?"
Chu Ci, is she being blackmailed?
Compared to Chu Ci's naivety and ignorance, Fan Jingrui is very insightful and understands that the prince's health is not just his own and is a matter of great importance.
He quickly blocked Chu Ci behind him and said respectfully: "Prince, please stop joking. Although my wife is good at making medicine, she is careless in examining patients and taking pulses. She is really not up to this important task!"
The prince got along harmoniously with Chu Ci and his wife all the way, but he didn't expect that Fan Jingrui would react so strongly just because he was joking.
He could only sigh helplessly: "Forget it, I just said it casually, why are you so nervous?"
