"What's wrong?" Luo Yi asked.
Chu Mengli sighed quietly, glanced at Luo Yi, and then slowly said: "It's my father's birthday in a few days, you..."
Luo Yi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Was it Chu Mengli who wanted her to attend Chu Tiankuo's birthday party, but was worried that she had a grudge?
Chu Mengli raised her slender hand and rubbed her eyebrows. It seemed that this matter had been bothering her for several days.
Luo Yi smiled casually, "If you want me to go, I can accompany you."
Hearing what Luo Yi said, Chu Mengli breathed a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that Luo Yi and the Chu family would be angry and would not attend her father's birthday banquet.
Even when he came, he had already thought of his words, but he didn't expect Luo Yi to agree so readily.
What Chu Mengli thought was that Luo Yi's hiding here would not be a long-term solution.
It's better to take advantage of his father Chu Tiankuo's birthday to return to the Chu family so that he can have someone to rely on in the future.
When the time comes, while Chu Tiankuo is in a good mood, he will say a few nice words, and Luo Yi will personally give a small gift. I think his father will not say anything.
No matter how weak the Chu family is, it is still a family after all. If the Chen family really comes knocking one day, at least the Chu family will be able to stand in front of them.
But what made Chu Mengli feel even more confused was that just a few days ago, Chu Tiankuo came to Chu Mengli's courtyard in person.
It was rare for him to speak to her in his father's capacity and tone.
It was these words that made Chu Mengli toss and turn over the past few days, unable to sleep...
Xiaochan is not familiar with worldly affairs, and Chu Mengli has not had any close friends for so many years. After thinking about it, it seems that she can only talk to Luo Yi.
But when she came here and saw Luo Yi, she suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.
Luo Yi saw that Chu Mengli's behavior today was a little strange, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Are you worried?"
Chu Mengli shook her head. She turned to look at Luo Yi and happened to see the two jars of peach blossom wine. Chu Mengli asked curiously: "What are you..."
Luo Yi smiled slightly: "Have a drink if you have nothing to do."
Chu Mengli suddenly said: "Leave a jar for me."
Luo Yi was stunned, "You want to drink?"
He had never seen Chu Mengli drinking.
Chu Mengli asked, "No?"
Luo Yi smiled and put two jars of wine on the stone table, "Then I'll accompany you."
Chu Mengli reached out to take the jar of wine and ignored Luo Yi, just drinking by herself.
Luo Yi didn't say anything, and the two of them drank in silence.
I don’t know how much time passed, but it felt like it was already sunset.
Outside the small courtyard, dogs barked and cicadas chirped endlessly.
In the small courtyard, the two drank silently.
The evening breeze carries the sound of reading, and the setting sun hides behind dusk.
Chu Mengli's pretty face turned red, and she looked like she was too drunk. She drank up a jar of peach blossom wine, and Luo Yi also finished his wine.
Chu Mengli was lying on the stone table, her head resting on her arms, and she was talking intermittently.
Normally, Chu Mengli didn't talk much, but when she was drunk, she did talk a lot.
It's just that it's too disorganized and intermittent, and I don't know what she is talking about.
But Luo Yi still heard something, and roughly understood why Chu Mengli was acting so entangled today.
It turned out that Chu Tiankuo found Chu Mengli a few days ago and said something.
The general idea is that he wants to entrust Chu Mengli to see if he can get in touch with Mr. Cao or Jingtian Pavilion. Chu Tiankuo has a prescription. According to this prescription, a pill can be made. This pill can completely Cure the hidden disease in Chu Tiankuo's body.
The reason why Chu Tiankuo was stuck at the peak of the Soul Condensing Realm and could not break through for a long time was because of the hidden illness in his body.
This hidden illness was caused by Chu Tiankuo's serious injury many years ago in the eternal secret realm. It has been hindering Chu Tiankuo's rise in realm for so many years.
Chu Tiankuo spent a lot of money to get this prescription from an expert.
But the herbs and other ingredients required for the prescription are all too precious. Even if the Chu family sells them, they probably won't be able to get them all.
At this time, there were rumors in the outside world that Chu Mengli had an unusual relationship with Cao Mo. Chu Tiankuo also had some evil thoughts, hoping that Chu Mengli would come forward to help him complete the prescription.
But how could Chu Mengli have the nerve to beg Cao Mo again? She already owed so many favors, and now she was asked to beg Cao Mo again. Chu Mengli would not be able to do such a thing no matter what.
But he couldn't bear it. Chu Tiankuo came to him again and again, always using both soft and hard tactics in the name of his father.
He even said that if he could break through to the Fusion Realm, he would no longer have to look at the Chen family's face. Luo Yi's matter would be nothing, and the Chu family would be able to protect him.
Chu Mengli was in a state of confusion. She wanted to find someone to talk to, but after looking around, Luo Yi seemed to be the only one.
But when I actually saw him, I didn't want to talk about these bad things. What's more, it was really inappropriate to talk about Mr. Cao Mo in front of Luo Yi.
Chu Mengli just drank, hoping to drown her sorrows.
But unexpectedly, he couldn't control himself for a moment, drank a few more drinks, and became drunk.
Those depressed words after being drunk are like pouring beans through a bamboo tube, said simply.
Luo Yi sighed, gently helped Chu Mengli up, and was about to send her to the house to rest. Chu Mengli was still muttering: "I... I'm not drunk... I'm not drunk..."
"liquor……"
"Luo Yi..."
"More...get more wine...get more wine..."
Luo Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, and had to say: "Have a good rest first, and it won't be too late to drink when you wake up."
Unexpectedly, Chu Mengli suddenly broke free from Luo Yi's hand, staggered on her steps, pointed at Luo Yi's nose, and said vaguely: "What do you want to do?!"
"Where's the wine? Where's my wine?!"
Luo Yi gently held his forehead. The eldest lady looked like a different person after she was drunk.
Suddenly, Chu Mengli fell straight backwards. Luo Yi quickly took a step forward and gently held Chu Mengli in his arms.
Luo Yi sighed softly, Chu Mengli had too many things suppressed in her heart.
He said softly: "Be obedient and go back to your room to rest first."
Unexpectedly, Chu Mengli actually stopped making trouble. Like a docile kitten, she hummed softly, laid her pretty red face on Luo Yi's chest, and breathed out like a blue.
Luo Yi directly lifted Chu Mengli up, walked into the room, and slowly placed Chu Mengli on the couch.
He looked at Chu Mengli's eyelashes that fluttered from time to time, and sighed in his heart, could it be that he was still thinking about those things after he was drunk?
Luo Yi gently smoothed her hair, and then he was about to get up and leave. Unexpectedly, Chu Mengli suddenly grabbed Luo Yi's wrist!
Luo Yi subconsciously looked back and saw Chu Mengli suddenly sitting up, then lying on the bedside and starting to vomit.
Luo Yi suddenly had a big head and told her not to drink so much, but she didn't listen.
You must be suffering now.
Luo Yi hurriedly helped Chu Mengli clean up. Chu Mengli vomited for a while but stopped. She lay on the bed and breathed evenly, and fell into a deep sleep.
It's just that the clothes are dirty and smell of alcohol, so they need to be washed quickly.
Luo Yi sat on the bedside. This time, he was not as restrained as he was the first time in the city lord's mansion. He gently helped Chu Mengli take off her clothes, leaving only a piece of underwear. Luo Yi gently helped her cover her with the quilt. , who knows that Chu Mengli turned over and hugged Luo Yi's arm. Her pretty face rested on Luo Yi's hand, her little face pressed on the back of his hand, and she fell into a deep sleep.
As a result, Luo Yi couldn't move even if he wanted to. He had to sit on the bedside obediently and look at Chu Mengli's charming look when she fell asleep.
It was late at night, and Chu Mengli finally let go of Luo Yi's arm and turned her back to Luo Yi.
Luo Yi took a deep breath, shook his arm, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
It was actually a little numb.
He covered Chu Mengli with the quilt again, and then walked into the courtyard, ready to help Chu Mengli wash her clothes, but suddenly he saw a prescription in the clothes!
Luo Yi remembered Chu Mengli's words just after he was drunk. It seemed that this prescription should be the one Chu Tiankuo used to treat hidden diseases.
Luo Yi opened it casually and frowned.
The person who wrote this prescription should have some skills, but not enough.
Luo Yi had the complex knowledge of the Heaven-Devouring God Emperor in his mind. Luo Yi only needed to take a look at it to know that there was something wrong with this prescription.
There are seven or forty-nine medicinal herbs prescribed in it, and most of them are extremely cherished.
It would probably take some time for even the four major families to collect all the celestial herbs in this recipe, let alone the Chu family.
Luo Yi pondered for a moment, then went back to the house to get a pen and paper, and wrote a new prescription based on this prescription.
Chu Tiankuo's prescription was obviously tricked. It is estimated that the expert who wrote the prescription should be able to help Chu Tiankuo cure his hidden disease.
But Chu Tiankuo's offer probably didn't suit his liking, so he simply wrote down a recipe. The elixir he produced could indeed cure hidden diseases, but he definitely couldn't use so many precious elixirs.
It is estimated that half of the treasures in this recipe will fall into the hands of that expert.
Luo Yi shook his head, wrote a new prescription and put it in his arms.
Luo Yi helped Chu Mengli wash the clothes and hung them to dry in the courtyard. He put on the facial mask and left quietly.
He didn't want to see Chu Mengli in trouble, not to mention that Chu Tiankuo was Chu Mengli's father anyway, and he was about to pass his birthday anyway, so he should regard it as a birthday gift from him.
Luo Yi transformed into Cao Mo again. He should have gone to Jingtian Pavilion for this kind of thing, but this time Luo Yi hung a peace and quiet sign on his waist. Instead of going to Jingtian Pavilion, he set off directly to the Jingtian Pavilion. royal palace.
Since you want a heaven-appreciating master to help you win your direct descendant, let's use this as a starting point.
Luo Yi showed up at the summer palace again. He didn't say much. He just handed the prescription to Su Minglou. Within seven days, he gathered all the eighteen herbs in the prescription.
Naturally, Su Minglou didn't dare to shirk, or he didn't want to shirk. If Mr. Cao promised to help him win the heir, but didn't ask for anything and didn't bother him with anything, in that case, Su Minglou would Lou was truly uneasy in his heart.
Again, I am not afraid that Mr. Cao will ask for anything from me, but I am afraid that he will have no desires or desires!
No matter what, the former is well fed.
The latter is a bottomless pit.
After Luo Yi finished explaining, he left the palace directly without staying much. In fact, there were nineteen herbs in this recipe, but as for the last one, Luo Yi was sure that even with his status as the fourth prince of Su Minglou , and it was impossible to gather them all in just seven days.
That medicine is called agave.
It has broken away from the mortal realm and can be called an immortal spiritual grass.
And this fairy grass, Luo Yi, knows where it is now.
It's in Jingtian Pavilion, but it's not in Jing Haoran's hands, but in the hands of... Yan Song.
The chief treasure appraiser of Jingtian Pavilion, Yan Song!
Luo Yi walked in the dark, thinking constantly in his mind about how to get this aglossus from Yan Song.
The last time I saw this dragon tongue grass, it was in a Thousand Mechanism Box in Yan Song's hand. The Thousand Mechanism Box actually has no restrictions, so even a master treasure appraiser can't open it.
This Thousand Machine Box is completely controlled by the ancient magic mechanism. It contains tens of millions of laws and is ever-changing. If you don't have certain profound attainments and insights into the ancient magic mechanism, you will never be able to open it.
If it is opened with brute force, the Thousand Machine Box will self-destruct, and no matter what treasures are inside, it will disappear in an instant...
That aglossus plant is in that Thousand Machine Box!
At that time, Luo Yi only accidentally saw with his obsidian eyes that there was such a treasure in the Thousand Machine Box!
"Yan Song..."
Luo Yi murmured his name, not knowing what he was thinking.
Luo Yi took a trip back to Wutong Courtyard. Wei Qing and Bai Jingmeng both went to bed. Luo Yi asked Wei Qing to keep an eye on the girl these days, and he would send her to a school to study another day. Just find a private tutor. Anyway, we can't let her go on like this.
She was clearly a girl, but she turned out to be even more naughty than those teenagers. She climbed over wall tiles, dug out bird's nests, and caught crickets. There was nothing she couldn't do.
Luo Yi returned from Wutong Courtyard to the small house on the edge of Shaking Sky City. After running around all night, it was already dark. After Luo Yi returned to the small courtyard, he took a special look at Chu Mengli and saw that she was still sleeping. He covered her with the quilt and then walked out of the room.
Luo Yi sat in the small courtyard by himself, took out an old chessboard, and wrote music by himself, as if he was deducing something.
But what Luo Yi didn't know was that Chu Mengli had already woken up when he came back, but she had been pretending to sleep.
When Luo Yi walked out of the room, Chu Mengli opened her eyes.
A blush suddenly flashed across her pretty face. She gently lifted the quilt and blushed even more.
"Luo Yi, he..."
"He will not……"
Chu Mengli's face was flushed, but her heart was full of mixed feelings.
Although the two have the name of husband and wife, they do not have the reality of being husband and wife!
After I was drunk last night, I wonder if Luo Yi...
Especially since she only had such a set of close-fitting clothes on her body, this made Chu Mengli even more confused.
Chu Mengli sat up, but didn't feel anything strange at all. Could it be that Luo Yi had been adhering to the courtesy of a gentleman last night and didn't do anything to him at all?
Chu Mengli rubbed her eyebrows with both hands, blaming herself for being drunk.
She quietly glanced outside and happened to see her clothes hanging out in the courtyard. She vaguely remembered some of her ugly behavior after being drunk last night, and her face became even redder.
Chu Mengli quietly got out of bed and glanced at the small courtyard. She didn't see Luo Yi, which made her slightly relieved.
She bent over and tiptoed toward the door of the room. She wanted to go to the small courtyard and quickly get her clothes back, but she didn't expect that as soon as she reached the door of the room, the door of the room suddenly opened...
