"You damn girl."
Seeing Chu Yue reaching out to hit her, Ningdong quickly picked up the medicine box and ran out of the medical center with a smile.
"Princess, your servant is waiting for you outside."
Chu Yue shook her head helplessly, and after saying hello to Wu Xiuwen, she drove straight to the outskirts of the city in a carriage.
When she arrived outside the city, she asked Heimu to park the carriage at the place where Lu Xinghe usually waited for her. After getting off the carriage, she ordered a pot of tea and two snacks at a tea stall not far away, and took her time. Eat.
Time passed slowly, Chu Yue waited from Shen Shi to Xu Shi, from full of expectation to frowning, but did not see Lu Xinghe.
Because of the heavy dew in the mountains, her hair was still stained with small crystal water drops, and the mountain wind was blowing, which made her feel a little chilly.
The owner of the tea stall looked at the full moon in the sky, came to Chu Yue's table and whispered, "Miss, our tea stall is closing, do you think?"
Ningdong also looked at her cautiously.
"Princess, my uncle may be delayed by something, why don't we go back first?"
After a short while, Chu Yue nodded and stood up.
"Let's go."
Because she had been sitting for too long, her legs were still a little weak when she stood up. Fortunately, Ningdong's quick eyes and hands quickly supported her.
Got on the carriage and went straight to Zhuangzi.
Along the way, Chu Yue said nothing.
Although there was no emotion or anger on her face, Ningdong could feel that she was in a bad mood now.
When they returned to Zhuangzi, it was already Haishi, and Ningdong helped Chu Yue get out of the carriage.
"Are you hungry, Princess? Can I ask the kitchen to prepare some food for Princess first?"
Chu Yue shook her head, "No need. If you are hungry, go and eat something. I will go back to the house first."
Ningdong bit her lip and said comfortingly, "Princess, my uncle may have been delayed by something, and he may not have expected that we would be waiting for him outside the city..."
"I know, I'm not angry with him, it's just that it's too late and I'm a little sleepy." She smiled and said with relief, "Don't worry about me, just go about your business."
After Chu Yue finished speaking, she returned to the room and closed the door behind her back.
Ningdong looked in the direction of the door, then looked at the black wood behind.
"what to do?"
Kuroki, who was unloading the carriage, raised his head in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
Ningdong frowned, "Didn't you notice? The princess seems unhappy."
Kuroki glanced towards the door and said nonchalantly, "Since I'm sleepy, just take a nap."
"You..." Ningdong bit his lip and was immediately deflated, "I shouldn't have asked you this big ice cube."
After saying that, he went to the kitchen.
After Ningdong left, Heimu stood up and looked in the direction of the door, worry flashing in his originally cold eyes.
He has been following Chu Yue longer than Ningdong. Of course he can feel her mood, but he can't say nice things and has never coaxed anyone. So when Ningdong asked him just now, he Just pretend not to know.
Chu Yue entered the room, hugging her knees and sitting on the low couch. Her long eyelashes drooped, forming a shadow under her eyes.
In fact, she was not angry with Lu Xinghe, she just felt that what she did today was stupid.
There was no agreement, so I waited for two hours on the outskirts of the city but found nothing, and I didn't know what the meaning of this was.
After the last light on the Zhuangzi went out, a black shadow jumped onto the roof where Chu Yue was. Heimu sat on the ridge of the roof, looking at the bright moon in the sky, while picking up the wine bottle and sipping it in his mouth. Drink.
It wasn't until the sky turned pale that he returned to his room and squinted for a while.
…
On the second day, Chu Yue did not get up as early as usual.
Ningdong knew that he came back late yesterday and wanted to let Chu Yue rest for a while, so he didn't wake her up when he got up.
After putting everything away, she came outside and knocked on the door.
"Princess, are you awake?"
Chu Yue, who was lying on the bed, frowned. She reached out and pinched the center of her brows, her voice a little hoarse.
"Just woke up."
Hearing Chu Yue's voice, Ningdong opened the door and walked in with a worried look on his face.
"Princess, why is your voice so hoarse?"
When Chu Yue sat up from the bed, her head was still a little dizzy.
"Maybe I caught a cold due to the dew and the wind yesterday. I'm fine. Just take a moment and you'll be fine."
After Ningdong put down the basin, he quickly stepped forward to support Chu Yue.
"The princess didn't eat anything last night. Are you hungry now? How about I get you some food first?"
Chu Yue shook her head.
"Not hungry yet."
Ningdong looked at her with worry on his face, "Princess is not in good condition today, let's rest on Zhuangzi for a day? After all, Doctor Wu is watching over at the medical center, so Princess doesn't have to worry too much."
Chu Yue rubbed her groggy temples.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to go to the hospital later and tell Uncle Wu."
Ningdong nodded, "My slave, please remember. Princess, please drink some water first."
As she spoke, she went to the table to pour a glass of water. After Chu Yue drank it, she took the glass and put it back where it was.
"Ningdong, please go out and let me sleep for a while."
After Chu Yue finished speaking, she shrank back into the quilt again.
Ningdong frowned, "Princess Princess, do you want a doctor to take a look at it for you?"
Chu Yue covered her head entirely in the quilt and said dullly, "No need, I'll just take a nap."
Ningdong looked at her like this and couldn't bear to disturb her anymore, so he carried the basin out of the house and closed the door.
Heimu stood not far away holding the long sword. Seeing Ningdong going in and coming out, there was confusion on his face.
"what happened?"
Ningdong glanced in the direction of the door, with worry on his face, "Princess caught a cold last night and feels a little uncomfortable today, so she won't go to the hospital."
Kuroki frowned.
"Do I need to call the doctor?"
"I asked just now, and the princess said no. You tell people to go to Xingyue Medical Center to inform the princess of her condition. I'll pour the water and I'll be there right away."
After Ningdong finished speaking, he carried the basin to the backyard.
Kuroki glanced in the direction of the door, then walked toward the courtyard entrance with his long sword in his arms.
…
Somewhere in the palace, when Lu Xinghe sat up from the bed, rubbing his head, he saw Qian Yu sitting by the window, drinking tea slowly.
"If I had known there was a palace banquet yesterday, I wouldn't have followed you into the palace."
Qian Yu glanced at him and said softly, "At least you gained something from entering the palace, right?"
Lu Xinghe pinched his eyebrows, then stood up with his shoes on and walked towards Qian Yu.
"There are gains, but there are also losses."
Qian Yu couldn't help but smile.
"What's the matter? The princess's golden body is not worthy of you?"
"It's not like you don't know my situation, so why are you here to ridicule me? I'm still remembering the fact that Concubine Shu sent someone to assassinate Yueyue. Even if it hadn't happened..." Lu Xinghe paused and said: He poured a glass of water and drank it with a firm expression, "My wife can only be Chu Yue."
Qianyu put down the tea cup in his hand with a calm expression.
"You don't know how to take a concubine?"
"No." Lu Xinghe replied without thinking.
