Chapter 209 Make Arrangements
Chu Ci looked at Cang Mo who was clinging tightly to his arms and sighed silently.
She found a small path, helped Prince Rui to her own yard, put him on the bed, simply took off his shoes and outer clothes, and helped him lie down on the bed.
Chu Ci had just finished tidying him up and was about to get up when King Rui hugged him in his arms, "I'm so tired, little fox, stay with me to sleep. Give me a little more time, give me a little more time."
Chu Ci looked at the handsome lines on his face and suspected that he was not drunk at all.
But she had no way to prove it. She wanted to pry Cang Mo's big hands away, but she couldn't. In the end, she could only lie on him in frustration. Forget it, she might as well just sleep like this.
Chu Ci had just fallen asleep when Nan Zi, who was holding her, opened his eyes. He adjusted their sleeping positions and said, "Little fox, wait for me. You must wait for me. I have found some clues. I still need time."
After Prince Rui finished speaking, he gently kissed Chu Ci on the face, then fell asleep while holding Chu Ci in his arms.
The next morning, when Chu Ci woke up, she was alone. If it weren't for the faint smell of alcohol on the bed, Chu Ci would even suspect that she was dreaming yesterday.
Chu Ci opened the window and waited for the smell of alcohol to dissipate. A cold wind blew over, and Chu Ci shivered. "It's so cold!"
Chu Ci reflexively closed the window, hugged his shoulders with his hands, and crawled back into his bed.
Just when Chu Ci was drowsy, he suddenly sat up from the bed, "It's bad!"
Chu Ci simply put on his clothes, ran to the door and shouted loudly, "Qiuyue, someone come quickly."
Before Chu Ci finished shouting, Qiuyue appeared in front of Chu Ci, "Master, what's wrong?"
Chu Ci thought of the coming heavy snow. "Hurry up and go to the charcoal we've prepared. First, prepare enough charcoal for our courtyard and Huichun Hall. Make sure to prepare a lot of it, as well as food. In short, make sure to have enough of everything you need for daily life. Remember, don't leak the news."
Chu Ci looked outside, his eyes becoming more profound. "Also, send a copy of these things to Qingsong Academy. In the future, perhaps we will be able to use those people."
Qiuyue didn't understand what her master was going to do, so she asked, "Master, why?"
"You don't need to know."
Qiuyue still didn't understand, so Chu Ci simply opened up about the matter. "Do you really think Tianji Pavilion is just a clinic, a grain store, or something like that? Then why is it called Tianji Pavilion? Could the clinic and the grain store just be side businesses?"
Qiuyue was dumbfounded. Could the people from the Master's Tianji Pavilion even tell fortunes? Know about yin and yang, the five elements, and the eight trigrams?
Is her master so powerful?
Qiuyue was surprised when the eldest brother came over. He put the cloak in his hand on Chuci and said, "It's so cold, why are you standing outside? Why do I feel so cold?"
Chu Ci's face was filled with deep resentment. Thinking of what was about to happen, she made arrangements, "Big Brother, I have asked someone to prepare some things in advance. You can take these things back to the sect. There is no one in charge of the sect right now."
The eldest brother frowned and looked at Chu Ci, "You're fortune-telling again? How's your health? How is it now?"
The eldest brother began to look Chu Ci up and down, and when he saw that she looked normal, he felt relieved. "Chu Ci, I'm really angry. If you keep doing this, your small body won't be able to withstand it for many more times. The next time we meet, I'm afraid I'll have to collect your corpse."
What the eldest brother didn't expect was that one day his anger would come true.
In fact, for those who are really good at fortune-telling, every time they tell a divination, they are revealing the secrets of heaven. Similarly, heaven will take away some things from her. What Chu Ci took away was health, and what Old Man Tianji took away was lifespan. As for the eldest brother, no one knows.
This may be the legendary "God is jealous of talented people".
Chu Ci shook his head, "I'm fine, it's just that this time it's not simple, so I took action."
Seeing that she was fine, the eldest brother turned around and left with peace of mind. He also had to go back to Tianji Pavilion to make some arrangements.
As for Chu Ci, looking at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, she stepped forward and wrote a note, then put it in her arms and helplessly told Qiu Yue, "Let's go into the palace."
Chu Ci's entry into the palace was quite smooth. Although the emperor casually mentioned that he would confer the title of Princess Rui on Xiao Rou in the future, he never issued an imperial decree. This statement could be taken or not.
Arriving in front of the Imperial Study, the Grand Eunuch saw Chu Ci and came forward with a smile. "Princess Chaoyang, what brings you here? There are court officials inside right now. If you don't mind, please go to the side hall and wait for a while."
Chu Ci thought for a moment. She was also very busy and couldn't waste time like this. She just took out the note from her bosom and said, "Give this to the emperor. Remember, only he can read it. No one else can read it."
When the eunuch saw the anxiety on Chu Ci's face, he knew that the content of the note must be extraordinary. After all, Princess Rui has always been very reliable, not to mention her identity as a teacher at Tianji Pavilion and Qingsong Academy.
Thinking of this, the eunuch's attitude became even better. "Princess Rui, please wait here. I will take the note in for His Majesty to read."
The eunuch was about to leave when Chu Ci quickly stopped him, "Eunuch, everything I can say is written down above. You can just give it directly to the emperor."
Chu Ci turned and left. She knew that the backlash was about to come, and she had to get to Qiuyue as soon as possible.
Chu Ci took a few steps and saw Qiuyue waiting to vomit in the distance. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and vomited a mouthful of blood, spraying the floor tiles in front of him into blood red. His body softened and he fell to the ground.
"master!"
Qiuyue screamed, and used her Qinggong to walk to Chuci's side, holding Chuci tightly in her arms. Qiuyue called out softly, "Master, Master, wake up."
Qiuyue called out a few times, but Chuci didn't respond. She freed one hand, took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out two bright red pills from it and fed them to Chuci. These were the pills her master had given her before she came.
Qiuyue had just finished feeding Chuci when the eunuch came running over.
He originally heard Qiuyue's scream and wanted to come out to ask what happened, but he happened to see Chu Ci vomiting blood and collapsing. The scene was something he would never forget, the bright red color.
The eldest eunuch instructed the younger eunuch beside him to take charge of the courtyard, then turned and ran to the imperial study. He whispered in the emperor's ear, "Master, the Princess of Chaoyang County has vomited blood and fainted outside."
The emperor loosened his grip on the memorial, and with a click, the memorial fell directly onto the imperial desk.
Could it be that the legend is true, and if the people in Tianji Pavilion reveal the secrets, they will really be punished by God?
The emperor was still lost in his own thoughts when a dark figure disappeared.
