After Chu Moxi returned to the courtyard, she didn't say anything and returned to her room to cultivate. She needed to recover her strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would die a horrible death in this Duke Chu's Mansion.
Unfortunately, no matter what Chu Moxi did, there was no movement from her dantian. Chu Moxi was on the verge of going crazy. In the midst of her depression, she slowly fell asleep …
Deep in the night, a figure appeared in front of Chu Moxi's bed. He stared at Chu Moxi on the bed without blinking an eye. It was as if he was afraid that with just one more blink, she would disappear.
The hazy Chu Moxi seemed to feel the gaze. She woodenly opened her eyes and saw a figure standing in front of her bed. With that unique temperament, even if she died, she would be able to recognize it.
"Chenchen …" This time, Chu Moxi felt that the person in front of her was too real.
Xi Er … Shang Chen softly called out in his heart. His gaze greedily landed on Chu Moxi. He could tell that she seemed to be a little weak, and her spirit was not very good, especially since there were no fluctuations of spirit energy from her body. What was going on with her? How did this happen? What about Zhu Bajie?
A series of questions filled Shang Chen's mind. His eyes never left Chu Moxi's figure.
"I'm dreaming again …" Chu Moxi's mouth rang out a few times before she fell asleep on the bed again!
The next day, Chu Mo Xi woke up early in the morning. After washing up, Lian'er entered her room.
"Boss, why didn't you wait for Lian'er?" Lian'er brought in some water and saw that Bai Piao had already cleaned up the room and was sitting on the soft couch in a daze.
"I finished packing early. Lian'er, remember to make me ten sets of clothes according to this pattern tonight." While supporting her chin with her right hand, Chu Moxi continued to be in a daze.
"Alright, boss." Lian'er put away the clothes Chu Moxi handed over to her. The person who delivered the clothes really did know their eldest brother. Such a generous and simple style was filled with endless praise from the clothing store's owner last time.
After Lian'er carried the water out, she started to clean up the room. Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside.
"I was wrong, I won't dare …" Weeping sounds came from outside, mixed with the voices of a few men.
Chu Moxi raised her head and frowned, "Lian'er, let's go take a look."
"Yes." Lian'er nodded and immediately left the room.
The three young men at the entrance of the courtyard were holding long sticks in their hands as they climbed up a bloodied figure. From the bluestone path to the ground below her, they dragged out a bloody path. It was clear that she had crawled all the way over there.
"Run!" Continue to run! " A youth with a green mole on the right side of his face said as he glared at the curling figure on the ground.
"Brother Liu …" Please... "Let me go!" There was a pleading note in the faint voice.
"Liu Li, who can we blame? You can only blame yourself for not knowing what's good for you. " That person called Brother Liu had a weird smile on his face as he looked at the woman on the ground. He had been beaten up to such a state, but his face was still fine. Wasn't it because the steward had taken a fancy to this face?
"Liu-ge, why are you wasting time with her?" "Take her back with you and send her to the housekeeper's bed at night." The last one was a short, dark man with a grin on his face.
Although it was a pity about this face, why wouldn't they do it if it was a good impression they had of the steward?
"Bring him back!" Brother Liu waved his hand, and the green mole young man and the short, tanned man picked up Liu Li from the ground and prepared to drag her away.
"Wait!" A delicate voice rang out, and immediately after, Lian'er came out from the courtyard.
The three of them raised their heads and saw the imperial concubine's personal maid standing at the courtyard entrance, watching them. They looked at her with disdain before lifting Liu Li and preparing to leave.
"What did she do wrong? You think I need you to treat me this way? " Lian'er had already been listening in the courtyard for a long time. She roughly understood that the eunuch butler had taken a fancy to this little girl. Afterwards, the three henchmen grabbed the little girl and went to fawn on the eunuch.
However, they didn't expect that this girl wouldn't agree until she was locked up and beaten to such a state. Then, this girl found a chance to run out, but was chased by these three people.
"That's none of your business." Brother Liu didn't even spare a glance at Lian'er. Even wangfei and the others didn't like it, not to mention a little girl from wangfei.
"Then I'll be fine today." As Lian'er spoke, her spirit energy surged as she coldly swung her palm towards Brother Liu.
The latter did not expect that Lian'er would suddenly attack. Moreover, Lian'er was already at the fifth level of the Spiritual Master Stage. Moreover, the Ice Mantra was already stronger than those of the same level.
Although Brother Liu is said to be the captain of the guards of the manor and is also at the first stage of the spirit rank, compared to Lian'er, he is simply too lacking.
Lian'er's icy cold palm wind, although this is my first time fighting with an enemy and I'm inexperienced, but I've still successfully knocked Brother Liu unconscious on the ground.
When the remaining two people saw that their strongest brother Liu was defeated by Lian'er, they were so scared that their legs went soft. They threw the Liu Li they were holding onto the ground.
Lian'er didn't even pay attention to them as she directly stored her spirit essence. Then she bent down and picked up Liu Li, who was on the ground, and prepared to return to the courtyard.
When the two guards saw Lian'er turn around, they immediately got up from the ground and supported the unconscious Brother Liu as they ran away.
Lian'er turned around and glanced at him with disdain, then carried Liu Li into the courtyard, "Boss, it's a girl who's been bullied."
Chu Moxi lazily raised her head to look at the Liu Li in Lian'er's hand. Then, she lightly said, "Put her in an empty room over there. Then, we can call a doctor to take a look."
"Yes sir!" Lian'er immediately carried Liu Li out.
After she arranged Liu Li's accommodations, she went out of the house to find a doctor to pick and boil the medicine. She didn't report back to Chu Moxi until nightfall.
"Boss, everything's settled. I've already swallowed some medicine, and I'm already asleep." "Truly a pitiful girl. It was only because I didn't agree to serve that eunuch's steward …" Lian'er's face carried a trace of sympathy.
"It's just skin and no bones. Lian'er, you should learn some of these skills." Lian'er is still too tender. It's just a meagre stratagem!
"Boss, are you talking about a 'torture method'?" Lian'er raised her head in shock as she looked at Chu Moxi with disbelief.
Chu Moxi sighed in her heart and asked, "Lian'er, where do you think she would not run over to our Xuan Pavilion? How far is the front yard? How far is the servants room? Earlier, were you the one who asked the guards at the entrance to call for a doctor? Did the doctor say that he was injured to the core and almost lost half of his life … "
Lian's expression started to change again and again after Ye Zichen asked this line of question. "Boss, throw her out now!" Lian'er's tone was full of anger, she actually used her sympathy. With that, Lian'er stood up and walked out.
"No, Lian'er, why don't we play it by ear!" Chu Mo Xi immediately stopped Lian'er.
"Deal?" Lian'er stopped in her tracks with a puzzled expression on her face.
"Come, Lian'er, we'll do this …" Chu Mo Xi whispered into Lian'er's ear, and the smile on Lian'er's face became wider and wider.
"Lian, are you clear?" Chu Moxi indifferently said.
"Got it!" Boss, I'll go pay attention to our bait first. " It was all up to the girl, and she cared about it.
"En!" He answered lightly.
Amid the haze, he heard some noise coming from outside.
"Someone, quickly stop the prince …"
Chu Moxi opened her eyes and called out, "Lian'er, what's going on?"
Lian'er pushed the door open and said, "Boss, I think Prince Chen ran out from that wooden house. His personal guards are gathering the guards to capture him right now!" Lian'er replied while changing Chu Moxi's clothes.
"What?" I'll go take a look. " Chu Mo Xi waved away Lian'er and directly rushed out of the room.
Her footsteps were hurried, her tone agitated.
That's right, Chu Moxi was very excited. Upon hearing that it was Prince Chen, she was very excited. In her subconscious, Prince Chen was somehow related to Chenchen.
"Boss, you haven't combed your hair yet …" Lian'er chased after her from the room. However, Chu Moxi had already run far away without a trace.
Lian'er didn't even think before chasing after him …
In the backyard, a white figure was ducking and dodging the guards who were rushing towards him.
His hair was loose, and because the people around him did not want to hurt him, he was able to successfully dodge them.
Panic could be seen in his eyes as he brandished a wooden stick, preventing anyone from getting within two meters of him.
He was shouting loudly, "You are not allowed to come over, I'm going to find Father …" "I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death …"
Suddenly, the figure standing at the very end made a gesture, and those around him approached the middle as if they had trained it a thousand times and were as adept at it as they were at it.
The man in the middle seemed very alert and wanted to escape. However, the surrounding people did not give him any chance. The moment he fled, they all swarmed around him.
He pressed his hands, his legs, and his body. Prince Chen struggled for a while, but unfortunately, there were nearly twenty people trying to push him away, but he couldn't do anything.
"Wait, what are you guys doing?" As soon as Chu Moxi arrived, she saw that the Duke Chen was being suppressed by 20 bodyguards, so she immediately rushed over and shouted.
"So it was an imperial concubine. Our prince had run out to injure someone, so we could only capture him and bring him back." The silhouette stood up and bowed to Chu Moxi.
"Let me take a look …" Chu Moxi stared at the Duke Chen lying on the ground, then she squatted down and looked into his eyes.
His eyes were unfocused, but they were no longer lavender. At this moment, Chu Moxi took a deep breath in.
It wasn't him! It was not Chenchen! Then was yesterday's one really Chenchen?
When she thought of this possibility, the racing heart in Chu Moxi's heart calmed down.
She stood up slowly and said, "Take good care of Prince Chen. Don't let him get out again."
"Yes sir!" The shadow bowed to Chu Moxi, then reached out to pick up Prince Chen and headed towards the wooden house.
The guards at the side of the wooden mansion immediately followed, and the rest of the people dispersed as well.
Chu Moxi stood there and giggled as she watched the silhouette carry Prince Chen's back and leave …
"Boss …" As soon as Lian'er arrived, she saw her boss standing there with a smile on his face. This was the first time Lian'er had seen that smile as well, causing her to be infatuated.
Only after hearing Lian'er's call did Chu Moxi come back to her senses. She glanced at Lian'er and said, "Go back!" To be able to uncover such a secret today, it wasn't in vain.
