"Hmm..."

  Staring with a pair of watery eyes, Xia Chuqi's mouth was stuffed so tightly that she couldn't breathe.

  This "hush money" is too extortionate!

  Maybe it was the good atmosphere today, or maybe it was to dilute the bloody smell of Luoyan Street before, or maybe kissing was originally a fusion of men and women after a fierce battle. Zhao Zun caught her and kissed for a long time, and after a fierce entanglement, he still didn't let go until her face turned red. He then propped up his hands and looked at her with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

  "The body is too weak and cannot withstand hardships."

  How dare you come and look down on her?

  Summer begins on the seventh day, panting and gasping for air, slightly opening her moist lips, casting a sideways glance.

  "Bully the weak and get bitten by a dog, are you proud of yourself?"

  "Does Ah Qi like being bullied by his grandfather?"

  His voice was somewhat hoarse.

  Looking at his mocking expression, Xia Chuqi's face was a bit hot, thinking of the deep kiss just now, she rubbed her face, and she felt a little regretful. Hmm, did she enjoy it too much? Also, for some reason, every time he kissed her, she easily lost control, which made her wonder if she continued like this, maybe in three years, she would have given in to his will.

  The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became, and she retorted with a blunt remark.

  "Whoever likes it is like being licked by a big dog... all saliva."

  “……”

  "What am I doing? It's originally like this—"

  "Insincere words!"

  Zhao Zhu pinched her face without hesitation, turned his head and kissed her again. It was obvious that he wanted to use actual action to lift the veil of her weakness. But as soon as their lips touched, a sharp and piercing cry came from outside, which was Zheng Er Bao's distinctive voice.

  "Grandfather, someone has come from the palace."

  Zhao Zun slightly paused, but Xia Chuqi looked at his face and her mischievous thoughts took over. She opened her mouth and playfully bit down on his, intentionally not letting him speak. Zhao Zun's eyes darkened, and he countered by biting back, prying open her lips with the intention of entering.

  "It's Grandfather, Cui Gonggong from the Imperial Guard, bearing an imperial edict."

  Zheng Er Bao outside didn't hear the noise, although he clearly knew that at this time disturbing his master's interest might get him kicked, still couldn't help but force himself to add another sentence.

  "Got it!"

  Zhao Zhen pinched Xia Chuqi's face, and as he was about to get up with his hands on the ground, Xia Chuqi's eyes flashed, and she lifted her legs to clamp them around his waist. Not only did she intentionally not let him leave, but she also leaned in, stretched out her soft tongue, and covered his lips, licking them gently and evenly...

  "Little devil!"

  He grumbled softly, panting as he pinched her head, first covering her mouth with one hand, then clearing his hoarse throat and speaking seriously towards the outside of the house.

  "Let him wait, have some tea, I'll be right there."

  "Yes, sir, I'll go and make arrangements right away."

  Footsteps came from outside and soon quieted down again.

  Her mouth was covered by him, Xia Chuqi opened her eyes wide and stared at him, her face flushed red from holding her breath. But in her heart, she was collapsing because of that one sentence "little demon". She wanted to laugh and felt sweet, never expecting that Zhao would use this phrase to make a woman happy.

  "Don't want grandpa to leave, huh?"

  Her lips had just relaxed, but she didn't expect him to lower his head again and kiss her mouth, the heavy gasps in his inquiry, carrying a heat that made her heart skip a beat, instantly burning her heart once more.

  It seems like teasing him in this way isn't quite right?

  No matter how you put it, Zhao Zun is also a normal man, and he's at the age where men are most lustful. It must be so hard for him to hold back! These days, the two of them would occasionally have some intimate and playful moments, but he was extremely self-controlled, rarely having any physical contact beyond kissing, even when he had strong physiological needs. To be honest, this side of him actually made her even more infatuated with him.

  In her previous life's era, men no longer had the consideration of being gentle with women in this regard. As long as they could get someone to sleep with, who cared about those rules?

  To be honest, Zhao Zhu is the most honest fool she has ever seen.

  Another long kiss ended, and this time she was really a little shy.

  Her hands clasped around his neck, her tone carried a hint of little girl's coquetry.

  "Hurry up! Don't keep people waiting for too long, aren't you still carrying the imperial edict?"

  "Just wait a bit longer." He said in a low voice.

  "What's going on?" She raised an eyebrow.

  "What else did you say?" Zhao You hummed coldly and pinched her face hard, "It seems like you've gained some weight?"

  "Haha, really?" Xia Chuqi almost jumped up with joy and rubbed her face hard.

  "Awesome!"

  "Am I happy?" He laughed loudly, Xia Chuqi felt pleased in her heart and pushed him again, "Go quickly, or else you'll stay here with ulterior motives, staring at me with a flirtatious gaze that makes my heart flutter."

  "Are you drunk? I'm just doing this reluctantly."

  Zhao Zun nodded her head, lazily got up to tidy up her clothes, and her movements were still so elegant and beautiful. It seemed that no matter what kind of situation she was in, no matter how disheveled or messy her clothes were, it couldn't hide the unique elegance on her body? Xia Chuyi supported her cheek with her hand, slowly thinking about it, feeling that this woman was truly a clothes rack, even if she wore the most ordinary clothes, she could still outshine other men by ten streets.

  No no, she must grow up quickly!

  What if someone else eats the tender meat she raised?

  With a mind full of absurd thoughts, just as her nosebleed was about to burst out, he finished up and turned around, looked at her with an eye that had already lost its flirtatious spark, and his whole person returned to that aloof and punchable demeanor.

  "Don't forget the ten liang."

  “……”

  Do you have to be so pessimistic?

  ……

  ……

  The person who came to deliver the imperial edict was none other than Eunuch Chui Yingda of the Imperial Guard.

  Zhao Zun came out with a cold face after a while, looking extremely displeased. He bowed his head slightly, greeted respectfully, and then solemnly relayed the old emperor's words. It was said that today the King of Jin had been startled, and the Emperor had been worried about it in his heart, so he hastily sent him to the warehouse to find some ginseng from last year's tribute to bring over.

  "Your Highness, this ginseng is best for calming one's nerves."

  Without changing his expression, Zhao Zun glanced at the small eunuchs holding the purple sandalwood boxes and nodded slightly.

  "Please trouble Your Highness to inform His Majesty that I thank him for his concern, but I am fine."

  Even between father and son, they have to use such polite language; it's probably only the imperial family that does this.

  Cui Yingda is a sensible person, with his eyes half-closed, he glanced at Zhao Zun with an air of indifference, sighed and said a few words about the danger on Luoyan Street today, and then lamented the wisdom and bravery of King Jin's Mansion, only then did he look around.

  "Your Majesty, can the doctor from Chu be summoned to the palace?"

  She gave her a lazy glance, and Zhao Zhu's face was pale.

  "She had a fright today and is resting in her room."

  This kind of "familiar" answer made Cui Yingda's face slightly stiff. Then he smiled and said, "That's right, if I were in the same situation, I would be scared to death. But... Your Highness, may I ask Dr. Chu to come out for a moment?"

  "Anything wrong?" Zhao You raised an eyebrow.

  As soon as he saw his icy expression and emotionless face, Choi Yeong-dal's heart was pounding.

  "The old slave has received Your Majesty's sacred order and has a verbal message to bring to Doctor Chu."

  "Ah," Zhao Zun said softly, picking up the celadon tea cup in front of him, blowing on it lightly, and responding slowly.

  "Speak, I will convey it."

  Pass it on? That's an imperial decree!

  Chui Yingda's lips twitched several times. But he had been through things, and looking at the pampered and protected appearance in front of him, it wasn't good to say anything else that would make people dislike him. He smiled and said, "The imperial edict says that this time Chu Yiguan saved the crown prince with great merit, please ask him to enter the palace on the day of the Zhonghe Festival to meet the emperor, and the emperor will have a reward."

  Zhao Zun's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at him, nodding expressionlessly.

  "I understand now."

  He took full responsibility, with a big package and a big wrap, that completely made Chu Qi's master. This made Cui Yingda both shocked and suspicious, but also dared not to speak much, only awkwardly smiled and bowed his head again, "Your Majesty, the old slave has one more sentence. Your Majesty said that when the time comes, let Dr. Chu go."

  He emphasized the two words "must".

  Ke Zhaozi had always disliked listening to people ramble on, and after being "reminded" by him again, his eyebrows furrowed, he gave him a cold glance, stopped talking, turned his head to look at Zheng Erbao, and stood up.

  "Director Cui has arrived at our humble abode after a long journey, Zheng Er Bao, let's keep Director Cui company and have some tea."

  After saying that, he no longer looked at Cui Yingda, turned his head and left in big strides, without giving him any face.

  "Your Highness, slow down—"

  Choi Yeong-da's eyes drooped, and his heart felt chilly and anxious.

  Of course, he didn't really stay to drink tea, but bowed his head and waited for the old man to leave first, then smiled and put the reward silver wrapped by Zheng Erbao into his sleeve, and asked about Zhao Zun and Chu Qi's affairs in a roundabout way.

  What truth can be heard from Zheng's mouth again?

  After sitting for a moment, he left with a smile.

  He nodded, and Zheng Er Bao, who had just been smiling, let out a heavy hum and went to call over Huang Shi Liang, the manager of the warehouse in the Wang Fu, to register and store away the things that the old emperor had bestowed upon him.

  Today, the mansion is indeed lively. The rewards from the palace have just been received, and then the gifts of condolence from the various princes and ministers also arrived. However, these things do not require Zhao Zun to appear in person again. Those who took the opportunity to send gifts came to the Jinwang Mansion one after another, all of whom were received by Tian Fu, the chief manager.

  At one time, the entrance of the Jin Wang Fu was crowded with people and horses, all eager to squeeze in...

  Zheng Erbao had just finished his busy work and was about to go back to serve his master, but he ran into two sneaky little eunuchs on the corridor outside the main hall.

  He took a look from afar, and it was none other than the person Cui Yingda had brought over from the palace earlier. Looking at their appearance, not only did they show no intention of leaving, but they seemed to want to take advantage of the commotion up front to sneak into the backyard.

  "Halt!"

  Zheng Erbao brushed off the dust from his shoulder and let out a loud shout. The two small eunuchs seemed to be frightened, they stopped in their tracks, lowered their hands and stood at the edge of the corridor with their heads hung low, not daring to look up at him or speak.

  "What's going on here? Why don't you hurry up and follow Duke Cui back to the palace?"

  ...... remained silent.

  "Still not leaving?! Get out of our house!" Zheng Er Bao took another step closer, getting a bit angry.

  "...Those two still didn't speak."

  "Hey, you two kids, taking our family's words as nothing, huh?"

  Zheng Er Bao was slightly enraged, and with a loud shout, he walked over to grab one of the little eunuchs and push him. But unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched him, the little eunuch suddenly lifted his head, let out a heavy hum, and kicked Zheng's leg with great force.

  "You damned eunuch, how dare you grab my princess's clothes? I think you're tired of living."

  As soon as he spoke up, Zheng Er Bao was taken aback.

  He rubbed his eyes again and took a closer look at her face, and he was immediately stunned.

  "Ah yo ho——" With a thud, he knelt on the ground and knocked his head several times, "Princess Ziyue forgive me! I didn't know it was Your Highness arriving, and I inadvertently offended you..."

  "Get up! This princess is in a good mood today, so I'll spare you this time." Zhao Ziyue raised her chin and hummed in an ill-tempered tone.

  "Thank you very much, Princess." Zheng Er Bao rubbed his knee and stood up, still bowing.

  "What about him?" Zhao Ziyue slanted a glance at him and suddenly lowered her voice.

  "Who is it?" Zheng Er Bao's forehead was slightly beaded with sweat.

  "That deceitful good doctor who has infatuated my nineteenth brother! Where does he live? Hurry up and take me there. I'm going to see what kind of fox-like appearance she has, seducing my nineteenth brother and making my mother angry every day that she can't eat. Just wait and see if I don't strip her skin off."

  Zhao Ziyue is only fourteen years old, the youngest daughter of the current emperor. Although she is the youngest, her temper is not small. Like Zhao Zun, Zhao Ziyue was also born to Concubine Gong. The old emperor has many concubines, but regardless of their status or experience, there is only one woman who can maintain her favor in the harem for so many years - Concubine Gong.

  Gongfei had a son and a daughter, but Zhao Zun, although favored by the old emperor, was not very close to him. However, this Zhao Ziyue was different, from the moment she understood things, in the palace, she was arrogant and domineering, bullying everyone, deceiving her mother, beating palace maids, but under the old emperor's lenient treatment, she became a spoiled and lawless little demon, making no one dare to provoke her.

  Now she disguised herself as a little eunuch and came out of the palace, running to the Jin Wang Fu, how could that be allowed?

  His heart was aching for days on end, and even Zheng Er Bao's scalp felt numb.

  If the little witch really sees the young divine doctor, won't the Jin Wang Fu be in an uproar?

  He bowed his head, with a bitter face, and smiled obsequiously, "Your Highness is of noble birth, why bother to go out and experience things with a lowly medical officer? I'll send a carriage to take you back to the palace right away. You've been out for quite some time, and His Majesty and Empress Dowager will be worried if they don't see you soon."

  "Zheng Er Bao, you have a big nerve!"

  With her arms akimbo and a pout on her face, the little girl was in a very bad temper.

  "This servant... has no guts."

  "Hmph, did you know that I, the princess, have come here today with an imperial edict?"

  "Offer, offer an imperial edict?"

  She hummed a sound from her nose, and Zhao Ziyue looked at Zheng Erbao with slanted eyes. "This princess got the tacit consent of the emperor and empress to come out with Old Man Cui today, otherwise what do you think? Before coming, I told my mother that I would stay in the Jinwang Mansion for a few more days and return with Nineteenth Brother during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This princess came to the mansion specifically to replace my mother in guarding that little seductress who has enchanted Nineteenth Brother."

  "Oh dear, Princess, I...I..."

  He snorted and snuffled, but Zhao Ziyue was impatient and kicked his leg again.

  "Lead the way!"

  Rubbing his leg, which was kicked and aching, Zheng Er Bao let out a hiss. Neither left nor right was good, he felt that he was simply being wronged, running into such an unlucky event. If he were to take Princess Zhi Yue in to meet Chu Qi now, the two would definitely fight, and he would end up getting scolded by Master. But if he didn't take her, this little demon girl was also not easy to deal with. As it was said, she was Master's own younger sister, and had always been doted on by him. If she were to get angry, wouldn't he be the one to suffer?

  Hehe, with a smile, he said with a flattering face, "Princess, why don't let me go to the study and report back to the master first?"

  "How dare you, a lowly servant, block my way?" Zhao Ziyue's nose was almost crooked with rage.

  "I don't dare, I'm just——"

  "Second treasure, sir!"

  A soft voice came from the side, it was Yuè Yù who had just passed by. She walked over with a suspicious look, ready to ask what's going on, but when she saw that it was Princess Zhī Yuè, she was taken aback for a moment. Then, she bowed respectfully and greeted her, before smiling and saying, "Your Highness came to the mansion without sending anyone to announce your arrival, no one has come to receive you, I'm afraid we've put Your Highness to trouble."

  "Never mind!"

  Zhao Ziyue was young, but her demeanor was quite arrogant. She waved her hand to dismiss the courtesy and hummed a tune.

  "This princess is going to give him a lesson, what's with the chicken?"

  "It's too late." The little eunuch beside her whispered in her ear.

  "Ah, ah, ah, that's it! Caught off guard!" Zhao Ziyue said with a pleased expression. After glancing at Zheng Erbao and Yue Yu, she raised an eyebrow and said in a grandiose manner, "What are you two still hesitating about? Hurry up and lead the way ahead. I'm going to go see that surnamed Chu's good doctor, what kind of skills he has, to have hooked my 19th brother."

  Yu Rong hung his head and said with a very respectful attitude, "Princess, it's best if you don't go to the Chu physician."

  The spoiled little girl, how could she listen to this?

  Her temper flared up at once.

  "Why can't the princess go? This is my nineteenth brother's mansion, this world is my father emperor's world, which place is the princess cannot go to? Who is the person that the princess cannot find?"

  "That's not what I meant."

  Looking at Zhao Ziyue's annoyed expression, Yu'er tried to comfort her, "What I mean is... Your Highness should also know that Nineteenth Master loves and respects Dr. Chu very much, and he never allows anyone in the mansion to disturb him. Today, coincidentally, it happened on Luoyan Street, and Dr. Chu was also frightened. He's currently resting in his room, so if Your Highness goes now... I'm afraid it won't be quite appropriate."

  "Inappropriate?" Zhao Ziyue's eyebrows were about to stand up, "The public is mainly looking for him, who dares to say it's inappropriate?"

  Yuè Yù took a deep breath, and a smile appeared at the corner of her lips again.

  "The princess is an unmarried maiden, Chu Yiguang is a man, how can they be together?"

  Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziyue's small brow rose, "Hmph, a man? Does this princess care if he is a basket or a pannier? Begone!"

  Having said that, she no longer argued with Moyu Moji, and strode past her, head held high, about to charge into the backyard.

  Yu'e hastily stepped forward and blocked her way, "Princess, no. If Father finds out, he'll be angry."

  Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziyue became even more annoyed. "Scram! This princess doesn't believe it, in my nineteenth brother's heart, I'm not as important as a doctor?"

  The moonlight shone down on her lowered eyelashes, and she smiled awkwardly. "Princess, perhaps... Hehe, I'll go arrange your accommodations first?"

  Her words suddenly made Zhao Ziyue furious, and with one push, she shoved her onto her shoulder.

  "This princess is telling you to get out of here, didn't you hear?!"

  Yuè Yù was caught off guard and took a few steps back, her waist suddenly colliding with the railing of the corridor, leaving her gasping for air and unable to speak. Meanwhile, Zhao Zǐ Yuè had already taken large strides ahead, chuckling to herself as she turned around and winked at Yuè Yù.

  "Hurry up and follow me, can't you? Are you looking for death?"

  "Yes... master." Yuè Yù's eyes flashed, and she replied in a low, resentful tone.

  Zheng Er Bao's scalp felt a little numb, and he looked back at her with a blaming expression, only to see Yue Yu giving him a signal with her eyes.

  He nodded slightly, understanding in his heart, and quietly fell behind.

  ……

  ……

  In this life, people will inevitably encounter many things. Some bad things come even more inexplicably and cannot be avoided or escaped. On the seventh day of summer, Xia returned to her room, thinking deeply, pondering that the time was almost up, so she took Li Mo out, preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to leave the house and find her "clue".

  As soon as she stepped out of the Chengde Temple, a group of women came swarming over. Among them were three "Madams" whom she hadn't seen in a long time. Today, Zhao Zun had "received a shock", so it wasn't strange that these women wanted to come and offer their condolences. What was strange, however, was that the one walking at the front was actually a proud and arrogant little eunuch...

  Wow!

  Isn't it going to be another monkey coming to the rescue?

  However, the days in the backyard of the Jin Wang Fu had been too calm for a long time, and not even a ripple was not in line with the law of development. She thought for a moment, then smiled and stood still, too lazy to walk over, just posing a handsome posture, lazily looking at that group of beautiful women, treating them as if they were all her own harem.

  "Who are you? Get out of here."

  The little eunuch's head was the smallest, but his momentum was the greatest. Before people even approached, he would shout loudly.

  "Princess, she is Chu Qi." The delicate and charming Dongfang Wanyi raised her chin, looked at him with a good feeling, and glanced over. The expression on her face made it feel like someone who was always being thrown big feces suddenly had the opportunity to throw big feces back at people, and that gentle voice made Xia Chuqi's bones numb.

  "Is it him?"

  Zhao Ziyue let out an unbelievable "ah" and cast a suspicious glance over.

  She suddenly felt a bit amused and started teasing, "This princess still thought she was going to grow up to be a stunning beauty, but it turns out she's just this ugly? Didn't my nineteenth brother go blind?" She glanced around at the faces of those elegant ladies-in-waiting, and Zhao Ziyue put her hands on her hips, raised her chin, "Hey, take a good look, watch me take revenge today."

  With an air of righteousness, Zhao Ziyue took a step forward and pointed at Xia Chuyi.

  "You see the princess, why don't you kneel down?"

  Kneel down, princess?

  At the beginning of summer, I don't know if she was a poor-quality seed that the old emperor accidentally spilled out while drinking, but if it wasn't for her being so arrogant and domineering, who knows, maybe she would have knelt down to appease others. But now, her disdainful and condescending gaze has hurt her still-unhealed heart. As for this kind of unscrupulous person, kneeling is out of the question.

  She rummaged through her ears and smiled absent-mindedly.

  "Sorry, Chu Qi is new here and doesn't know who you are. But it's not right for a doctor to kowtow to an eunuch, I'm really sorry about that, little eunuch, go find someone else to play the kowtowing game with! Today, Chu has other things to attend to, if you have something to say, hurry up and say it, if not, then find someone to let you out, so I can hear the sound."

  "How dare you scold me? You have a big dog's gall."

  When did Zhao Ziyue ever suffer from this kind of treatment?

  With a loud stomp, she stood with her hands on her hips and glanced at the several women who were also frightened out of their wits. In a spoiled tone, she shouted, "Who's going to go and slap that woman for me? Tonight, I'll let my nineteenth brother take her as his concubine."

  Those women looked at each other in dismay, and before they could make a sound, Yuè Yù had already stepped forward to intercept them.

  "Princess Ziyue, please calm down. The Chu physician had a fright today and his mind is not clear. Seeing you in this attire, it's really hard to recognize you, that's why he spoke out of turn. Please be magnanimous, Your Highness..."

  "Shut up!"

  Zhao Ziyue was already in a bad mood, this young lady who was used to being spoiled by others, had always only acknowledged people's flattery, not their words. Upon hearing Yuemou's sentence, her expression became even more annoyed.

  "You mean it's all because I, the princess, wore the wrong clothes and deserved to be scolded as a piece of trash?"

  Yuè yù's face turned pale, with an embarrassed expression, and she knelt down in front of her with a thud.

  "I dare not, I just... just... just please don't make things difficult for Dr. Chu, Your Highness. If you must punish someone, I'm willing to take the punishment in his place..."

  "It's not necessary!" Before Zhao Ziyue could speak, Xia Chuyi slightly curled her lips and her eyes seemed to sweep over Yuemeng's beautiful face, then looked back at Zhao Ziyue, step by step, smiling as she walked closer.

  "So this is Princess Ziyue? Forgive me for being blunt, you're not a fart, I'm the one who's a fart, that settles it!"

  Seeing her softened, Zhao Ziyue's face looked much better, but she still looked down on him and hummed.

  "Do you think I will spare you just because you beg for mercy from me?"

  A little girl spoiled by adults, who received too much pampering and knew too little about the world, would naturally look down on others. But after hearing her words, Xia Chukai didn't show any sign of fear, and instead smiled slightly.

  "Is the princess going to fart?"

  "You——"

  One sentence made Zhao Ziyue so angry that she jumped up and down.

  "What a thick...thick face, what's it called again?" She got anxious and forgot the words.

  The little eunuch standing beside her hastily stepped forward, "Princess, it's shameless."

  "Right, right, that's it." With a glare, Zhao Ziyue put her hands on her hips again. "You shameless dog slave, wait and see how I'll teach you a lesson today. You few people, who wants to serve my nineteenth brother in bed, hurry up and fight for me! Whoever fights well, I'll choose whoever!"

  "Princess, does farting cost money?"

  With a smile as bright as spring flowers, Xia Qiuzi took another step closer with an air of nonchalance, chuckled and rubbed her nose, before raising her eyes to flirt with her.

  "Although Xiao is a nobody, he's worth a lot. If we hit him, we can get fifty taels of silver, so the princess should prepare the money?"

  "What did you say?"

  Zhao Ziyue had obviously never seen such a slick person before, and her eyes widened in surprise.

  "Speaking of which, Princess, you have to pay for the fart——” With a lazy glance, Xia Chuqi hugged her arms and smiled ambiguously at the arrogant little girl in front of her, pursing her lips and leaning in to whisper, "As long as the price is reasonable, we can cooperate, right? You get to fart happily, and I get to count silver coins until my hands are numb. What a great deal, isn't it?"

  She was completely bewildered by her, Zhao Ziyue stared with wide eyes, as if she had seen a monster.

  "Aren't you afraid of being beaten?"

  Xia Qiudi smiled and said: "A man dies for wealth, a bird dies for food. What's the big deal about being beaten?"

  "Good, you said it."

  Zhao Ziyue bit her lip and saw that none of the madams dared to approach the animal, so she finally couldn't hold back her temper.

  "None of you dare to fight? Alright, I'll take care of it myself."

  "Come on, come on, hit me here. Hit the right spot, okay?" Xia Chunqi smiled and stuck out her left cheek.

  "You, you..."

  Zhao Ziyue was at the age of rebellion, and she was a spoiled princess. Usually, everyone in the palace flattered her, pampered her, and catered to her. Growing up like this, she had never seen anyone dare to be so rude to her. She was furious, her lips trembling with rage, and she raised her hand to slap Xia Chuyi's face.

  Bang!

  A slap in the face.

  Unfortunately, it was slapped on Zhao Ziyue's own face.

  In the midst of the gasps, a group of women stared at Zhao Ziyue covering her face with wide eyes, and they couldn't believe it.

  "Woooaaaah----"

  Zhao Ziyue was stunned for a while before she burst into tears.

  "How dare you hit me! You actually dare to hit me... Where's my 19th brother? I want to go find my brother..."

  On the seventh day of summer, he suddenly straightened his waist and looked at her strangely.

  "I said, Princess, which eye of yours saw me hit you? I've been standing here, and haven't even moved!"

  "It's you! Besides you, who else dares to hit me?"

  Zhao Ziyue shouted loudly, turned her head and looked at those concubines again, extremely angry.

  "Did you all see that? Is it this ugly freak who ate bear heart and leopard gallbladder, hitting our princess?"

  "In response to your question, Your Highness, I didn't see anything, all I saw was you hitting Dr. Chu."

  Several ladies had not yet spoken, and the first person to come out and respond was actually Yuè Yú again. However, this sentence of hers was too much, completely stirring up a hornet's nest, making Zhāo Zǐyuè furious. Originally she wanted to give Xià Chūqī a warning, but as soon as she swung her hand out, she encountered resistance, and ended up being slapped in the face by someone, which made it hard for her to swallow this insult?

  Without saying another word, she angrily walked up to Yuè Yù's face, raised her hand and gave her a slap, at least venting the anger from just now.

  "You ignorant servant, if Her Highness doesn't teach you a lesson, you won't even know your own surname..."

  Then, with another "crack", Yu'e's head tilted to one side, and fresh blood flowed from the corner of her lips.

  But she knelt on the ground, without a hint of resentment, only raised her head and said with a sigh.

  "As long as the princess calms down, beating the slave is fine."

  "You..."

  This little witch Zhao Ziyue was just a spoiled and mischievous child, and she didn't actually hit people very often. These two slaps came down, and on Moyu's face were ten red finger marks, her own hand also numb from the shock.

  She stamped her foot and didn't hit anymore, but instead she got angry and started crying.

  "You bully people, you all dare to bully me. Once I return to the palace, I will definitely let my father emperor punish you."

  This situation...

  Xia Chuqi rubbed her forehead, staring at the spinning door.

  Unexpectedly, after venting her emotions and wailing for a while, Zhao Ziyue calmed down and pointed at Yuè Wǔ's fire.

  "Get up and take this princess to change her clothes quickly, the princess mainly lives in the mansion."

  "Yes, Princess." Yuè Yù covered her face and stood up, with no expression on her face.

  "Hmph! This princess will deal with you later." With a fierce glare at Xia Chuqi, Zhao Ziyue rubbed her wrist, looking somewhat annoyed and dissatisfied. She then led Yue Yu and her personal maid away.

  Xia Zuqi pouted and spread his hands, exchanging a glance with Li Mo. He then looked at the three people in front of him who had not yet had a chance to speak. They were all dressed up as if they were going to a banquet, like a lady. He curled up the corner of his mouth and made a rare polite bow.

  "Three people like madams, but is there still something to instruct Chu?"

  "Chu Medical Officer smiled stubbornly, I'm leaving now." Xie Shi smiled warmly at her, probably because she had benefited from her last time, and said with concern, "Just that earlier, Princess Zongyue... anyway, be careful, Chu Medical Officer."

  "Oh, Sister Xie, what nonsense are you talking about? Chu Yiguan is deeply favored by the Emperor, how could he possibly take Princess Ziyue seriously? Didn't you see the play just now? Hehe, the princess will stay here, and there's a good show to watch——" After saying this with a sour tone, Dongfang Wanyi's gentle and charming eyes glanced towards the direction of Chengde Hall, but after looking again and again, she didn't see Zhao Zhu's figure, and couldn't help but feel some disappointment and regret as she turned around and left with two little maids."

  As he gazed at her enchanting back figure, Xia Chuqi's mind involuntarily flashed with the image of Dongfang Amu.

  Her heart skipped a beat, and she smiled slightly, looking at Xie Shi and Wei Shi.

  "Two of you, like madam, if there's nothing else, Chu will take his leave first..."

  "It's nothing." Xie smiled lightly, "Officer Chu, shall we go together?"

  "I'm afraid it's not a good time, Chu Qi has something to attend to and needs to leave."

  At the beginning of summer, Qi'er gave her a bright smile and was about to leave.

  "Wait." Unexpectedly, the smallest of the Wei family walked over, with a red face, as if he had just mustered up the courage, "Officer Chu, I...I have something to say."

  "Oh? What's the matter, madam?" Xia Chuqi raised an eyebrow.

  "I've been feeling a bit unwell for the past two days and I was thinking of asking Dr. Chu to take a look, may I, may I go inside first before we talk?"

  Come in?

  As soon as the summer began, she turned her head to take a look at Chengde Hall behind her and let out a sigh. These madams must not have seen Zhao Zhu for a long time, and it's likely that they're not feeling well is just an excuse. Now that the princess has brought them to Chengde Hall, if they don't go in to see Master, they would feel a bit regretful or unfulfilled.

  Is she really so kind?

  Looking at Wei's slender waist that could be grasped in one hand, she raised an eyebrow and let out a worried "oh no".

  "In that case, there's no time to lose. I'll take Rong'er to see a good doctor right away, it's more convenient for her to be treated there."

  "Well, never mind then. Maybe some other time. I see Dr. Chu is busy." Wei's demeanor was somewhat awkward.

  Looking at this innocent and naive Rong lady, Xia Chuyi chuckled, "Yes, Chu has some matters to attend to..."

  "I'll take my leave then."

  Wei and Xie both left, Xia Chuqi stood in place but fell into thought.

  In the Jin Wang Fu, who is the "master of house fighting" that wants to deal with her? Which one will she be among these people? Why has it been quiet again now? Is it because they think she's not easy to deal with and have given up, or haven't found an opportunity to make a move yet?

  Her eyes narrowed slightly and she curled her lips.

  When soldiers come, we will stop them; it's nothing big.

  She shook her head and smiled at Li Mo, giving him a thumbs up.

  "Brother, you're really something, impressive."

  The palm that hit Zhao Ziyue earlier was Li Mo's hand, who was quietly standing beside her. Li Mo's kung fu was good and his speed was extremely fast. At that time, everyone's attention was focused on Xia Chuyi, and when she chose to strike back at the moment Zhao Ziyue made a move, it only allowed people to see a shadow of her hand, but no one saw clearly who hit whom.

  Li Miaoyan raised an eyebrow, accustomed to her behavior, and didn't say much, only softly asking her, "Where are the two of us going now?"

  "Go out and find some evidence."

  Previously on Luoye Street, she not only let those attacking guys taste her thunderbolt but also fed them her special allergy powder. Whoever got that powder on their body would break out in red rashes within two hours. Now that those people have run away, even if they don't come looking for medicine, can they really just not show up on the streets again?

  "The scope is too broad, should I tell the 19th Highness?" Li Mo thought for a moment and asked again.

  Xia Qi's footsteps paused slightly, and her eyes narrowed as she shook her head.

  "Why did he want to silence him on Luoyan Street today? It's clear that they don't want to investigate further?"

  Li Mo was silent and didn't say anything more.

  Two people came out together, but before they had gone very far, Zheng Er Bao hurriedly ran out.

  "Wait a minute, Chu Yiguan——"

  Wait again?

  At the beginning of summer, she turned back with some regret, but in an instant, she smiled and narrowed her eyes.

  "Is Second Treasure looking for Mr. Chu about something?"

  Bowing slightly, Zheng Er Bao said with a very respectful attitude, "Officer Chu, the master requests your presence in the study."

  Looking at his mysterious appearance, Xia Chuyi had a hunch that nothing good would come of it.

  "Now?"

  "Right, now!"

  She curved her lips slightly, Xia Chuqi smiled and lowered her voice, leaning in close to him.

  "What's going on, Second Treasure? Can you reveal it first?"

  He raised his eyelids slightly, Zheng Er Bao thought for a moment before saying in a low voice, "It seems that the Crown Prince's people sent something to our mansion, it was for you, Imperial Physician Chu..."

  "Ah?!"

  Zhao Mianze gave her something?
