Chu Yunfei looked at him expressionlessly.
Rong Cang thought she didn't understand: "The Minister of the Ministry of War once served in the Ministry of Household Affairs and was your father's former boss."
"So what?" Chu Yunfei's voice was indifferent, revealing an indifference that had nothing to do with him. "His career has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to take advantage of him."
Rong Cang narrowed his eyes, a familiar feeling of guilt appeared in his eyes.
So she never counted on her father's protection? If you are divorced, there will really be no way out.
"I really won't go to Mrs. Zhao's birthday party." Chu Yunfei said in a calm tone, not sure if she was reminding or explaining, "Because I have enough reasons not to go. I hope that the prince will just pretend that he doesn't know about this matter."
Rong Cang frowned: "What do you want to do?"
"I want to see the imperial concubine." Chu Yunfei looked at him, her tone calm as if she was informing him rather than discussing with him, "We have been married for one year, and I can count the number of times I have seen her on my five fingers. Are we considered familiar strangers to each other?"
Some things always need to be confirmed in person.
The imperial concubine was so calm that she didn't summon Chu Yunfei after Rong Cang was scolded by the cane, which was really beyond her expectation.
However, Chu Yunfei would create an opportunity for the imperial concubine to take the initiative to summon her.
Rong Cang said: "She might make things difficult for you."
"I'm not afraid of putting her in trouble." Chu Yunfei seemed to be mocking her, "I may always hide in the palace and never leave."
Rong Cang stopped talking again.
Thinking of the two people he arranged to be around her, and the fact that Chu Yunfei's temperament was very different from before, he knew that he didn't need to worry too much.
But he still couldn't help but worry about her safety.
"Yun Fei." Rong Cang suddenly spoke, his voice was low and gentle, as if he was trying to show his goodwill to her, "We are husband and wife, and we share the same bed. From now on, I won't talk to you anymore, and you won't bear any grudge against me, okay?"
Chu Yunfei was startled, then raised his eyebrows slightly: "Does the prince know that he was wrong and is he apologizing to me?"
Rong Cang narrowed his eyes and nodded gently: "Yes. I am apologizing to you."
"Prince Chen just said that for a woman who is not gentle like me, no wonder you divorced me." Chu Yunfei stood up and smiled faintly, "The generals are true to their word, but the prince should stick to his own principles. You said it yourself. You will never regret it, don’t break your promise so soon.”
After leaving these words, she turned and left.
Rong Cang raised his eyes and looked at her back, tightening the corners of his mouth and frowning slightly, feeling troubled for a moment.
The princess does have a tough temper and is not easy to coax.
…
In the evening, Liu Qingxi carried the soup through the front yard and arrived at the middle courtyard. Chu Yunfei stood there waiting and took the soup from her hand: "After one more cup of tea, Miss Liu can return to the palace. After returning, What should I say, I shouldn’t need to remind you more.”
Liu Qingxi lowered his head: "Yes."
"Come back tomorrow, the time will be the same."
"My slave understands." Liu Qingxi resigned.
Chu Yunfei walked back to Shuanghua Courtyard with the decoction in hand. She walked leisurely and slowly. She walked unhurriedly to a flower branch and stopped, pouring all the decoction in the bowl into the potted plant.
The next three days were uneventful.
Chu Yunfei didn't know how Liu Qingxi would reply to the imperial concubine when she returned, and she didn't ask. Liu Qingxi came to the palace on time every day and returned to the palace on time in the evening.
It was like this for three days in a row.
There were two maids watching Chu Yunjiao, and Grandma Lu and Grandma Xiong would come over occasionally. Chu Yunjiao only had to eat and sleep and was forced to kneel down, and his life was miserable.
Chu Yunfei wiped Rong Cang's body and changed his dressing every day, and took medicine twice in the morning and evening. The wounds on his back began to scar, and he spent less and less time lying in bed every day, and often got out of bed to move around.
Occasionally, I would pick up branches to exercise my flexibility.
As long as it was an activity under normal circumstances, Chu Yunfei would not pay attention to it. She was pregnant. In addition to taking care of Rong Cang, she would give herself as much rest time as possible.
Three days passed quietly. Although Chu Yunfei sneered at Rong Cang's apology, the tense relationship between the two seemed to have eased a lot.
Rong Cang was worried that Chu Yunfei was too tired, so he asked Changqing to ask a doctor to come over and take her pulse more than once. He was relieved when the doctor said that the princess was fine.
On the eighth day of March, Imperial Physician Liu arrived at the palace, his expression not very good.
But Chu Yunfei still ordered someone to invite him in.
After examining Rong Cang's injuries, Doctor Liu's expression changed visibly, and he stopped talking several times.
"I had the medicine given by the imperial doctor boiled on time for the prince to take. I also applied the ointment twice a day." Chu Yunfei sat aside, his tone was calm, but to the ears of the imperial doctor Liu, it sounded as cold as a poisonous snake. Danger, "The prince should be fine, right?"
Doctor Liu had sweat on his forehead and replied respectfully: "The prince is seriously injured and needs to rest for a while."
"Excuse me, Doctor Liu." Chu Yunfei smiled faintly, "I have been free recently and want to study medicine. I heard that there is an old doctor named Qian in Tongzhou who is good at medicine. His granddaughter has also inherited the legacy of her grandfather. I plan to I wonder if Dr. Liu thinks it's appropriate to bring her to the palace?"
Imperial Physician Liu turned pale with fright, and knelt down with a plop: "I know my mistake! All this is the imperial concubine's instruction! As an imperial physician, I dare not disobey the imperial concubine——"
"You don't dare to disobey the imperial concubine, but you dare to openly plot to kill the prince?" Chu Yunfei's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Mr. Liu is really brave."
"I know my mistake! I know my mistake! Please spare my life, please forgive me, please forgive me!"
"It is not impossible for me to pretend that this incident has never happened." Chu Yunfei's tone was calm and full of threats, "First of all, anyone in Tongzhou Qian's Medical Clinic, Dr. Liu, had better not touch them. Murder and silencing will not only not absolve you of your crime, but will accelerate you into the abyss of death."
"I don't dare, old minister."
"The jar of ointment you left for me is the evidence of the crime." Chu Yun said coldly, "If Dr. Liu cooperates with me, I can keep the evidence of crime in the dark forever and never present it to the emperor."
Doctor Liu was frightened: "Princess, please tell me, I will go up to the mountain of swords and go down to the sea of fire, even if I die!"
"You don't have to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire." Chu Yunfei knew human nature well and would not drive him to death. "I want to know, does Dr. Liu know witchcraft?"
Doctor Liu's face turned pale: "I don't dare! I don't dare to come into contact with those evil things. Please be aware of it, please be aware of it, please be aware of it, please be aware of it!"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Chu Yunfei asked calmly: "Do you know who in Shengjing is good at witchcraft?"
Doctor Liu swallowed his saliva and shook his head uneasily: "I have never been exposed to this kind of thing, but...but I heard that concubines in the palace often study here. Is it true or not? I really don't know..."
Chu Yunfei was silent, a deep color flashed in his eyes: "I understand, you should go back first."
"Yes." Doctor Liu resigned with great gratitude as if he had been pardoned.
Just as he was about to cross the threshold, a cold voice came from behind him: "It's best for Doctor Liu to keep tight-lipped about today's matter and not say a single word."
Doctor Liu's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down again: "I don't dare to do this. Please rest assured, I promise not to say a word."
Chu Yunfei hummed and ignored it.
Rong Cang lay silently on the bed, showing no expression at all. It was not until Doctor Liu left that he spoke: "Who do you think did this?"
Chu Yunfei glanced at him: "If I really have such great powers, do I still need to bother to inquire?"
Rong Cang was silent: "Didn't you say that you have foresight?"
Chu Yunfei sneered: "The prophet has a time limit, and it doesn't work every time."
Rong Cang choked and was speechless.
