One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]
Seeing Xiao Huan Xi's pale face and panic-stricken eyes, Chu Junyi's heart sank. "What's wrong? Are you afraid that the medicine will be too painful?" "Don't worry, I've already ordered this servant to prepare the candied fruits. If you drink one and eat it, you won't feel the bitter taste anymore."
Xiao Huan Xi tried her best to control her emotions. She didn't want Chu Junyi to find out what was wrong with her, so she decided to rejoice. Could it be that her brother giving her the bowl of medicine was just a coincidence? What did he discover?
"Brother Jun Yi, I don't want to drink anymore. My body is fine now, but you're still using me as a medicine jar. I've been drinking so much that I feel like vomiting."
"I know you're afraid of the taste of the medicine, but you have to drink it. I've asked the imperial physician before, and he said that you need to drink fourteen days' worth of medicine in order to heal your body. Drink it quickly, it's getting cold."
As she looked at the continuously shaking medicinal liquid, Xiao Huan Xi felt chills run through her body. She personally ordered people to prepare the medicinal ingredients. She was very clear on the effects of using them.
If she drank this bowl of medicine, she would probably need to recuperate in bed for half a year.
She turned her head away, pouting slightly. "Brother Jun Yi, why do you keep forcing me to drink medicine? I said I don't want to."
Chu Junyi looked at the innocent young girl in front of her and couldn't help but close her eyes. She suppressed the unwillingness in them and said, "Huan Xi, don't be willful. Drink the medicine quickly."
Hearing the impatience in his tone, Xiao Huan Xi finally took over the medicine bowl. A bitter medicinal fragrance entered her nose and her stomach couldn't help but twitch. She slowly placed the medicine bowl next to her mouth as she thought in her heart:
If it wasn't for the vicious effects of the medicine, she wouldn't have bothered to drink it to gain her trust. However, the moment it entered her mouth, she wouldn't be able to bear a child in the future even if she was slightly sick.
Chu Junyi stared coldly at Xiao Huan Xi as her hands continued to tremble. Her heart grew colder. She had only said that the medicine was vicious, and if he hadn't personally examined it, he would never have imagined that the medicine was so poisonous. After eating it, not only would it destroy the foundation of the human body, it would also make it impossible for a girl to have children! This was simply an extinct medicinal herb!
Xiao Huan Xi was a girl as well. She should know how important a child was to a girl. Yet, she dared to openly let them do it. She was truly vicious!
"Huan Xi, why aren't you drinking?"
Xiao Huan Xi's hands were trembling as she held the bowl. She could feel that Chu Junyi had clearly seen through her plans. Today, she had gotten revenge for Shen Ninghua.
This medicine would end her life, how could she drink it?
"Big brother, how could I not drink, I … "Ah …" As she spoke, for some reason, her hands lost their balance and the medicine bowl fell to the ground. The porcelain bowl shattered with a clang, scattering black soup everywhere.
Chu Junyi's cold eyes swept over the herbs on the ground, and then the emotions in her eyes gradually died down. "Since you don't want to drink anymore, then don't."
"Brother Jun Yi, I didn't mean to do that. I just couldn't keep the bowl steady. Don't be angry." Seeing that Chu Junyi was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Hengxi quickly reached out to stop her.
"If it's not stable, then how about I get someone to boil another bowl of medicine for you. After all, that old geezer has a lot of them."
"No need! No …. "I didn't mean it that way. I meant that it wouldn't be a good idea to trouble Brother Jun Yi with something like that. I'll just send someone to do it."
Chu Junyi looked at her smile and said, "Xiao Hengxi, I don't dare call you big brother. Even if you had a little trouble with me, you wouldn't go so far as to plot against my beloved."
Xiao Huan Xi's face paled. "Brother Jun Yi, what are you talking about? When have I schemed against your beloved? I've been recuperating from my illness for the past few days, and there's nothing I can do …"
Chu Junyi ignored her words, "You don't have to play dumb in front of me. In a short while, your foster father will arrange a marriage for you. If you know your own limitations, then you can follow his arrangements to get married out of the capital. If you continue to remain ignorant, then I won't help you speak another word in the future."
"Marry out of the capital?" Xiao Huan Xi sat up from the bed and hugged Chu Junyi's waist from behind. "Brother Jun Yi, you actually said that you wanted me to marry you out of the capital. You know that I can't take anyone else. I don't want to marry anyone, I just want to marry you!"
Chu Junyi waved her arms away. "It looks like you're not going to make a choice. I've already warned you, and that's a benevolent act." With that, he walked towards the door.
Xiao Huan Xi ran down barefooted and stopped in front of Chu Junyi. She put her arms around his neck and kissed his lips.
Chu Junyi was caught off guard by her boldness. He used his arm to block her, but she still kissed him on the lips. He felt a surge of anger.
"Xiao Huan Xi, do you still have any sense of shame?"
Xiao Huan Xi tore off the clothes in front of her, her fair and soft shoulders and exquisite collarbones were so dazzling, "You want me to marry out of the capital, so why should I be shameless? Brother Jun Yi, am I not beautiful? How am I not as beautiful as Shen Ninghua? Don't you want me? "
If Chu Junyi had been brotherly with her before, he would have been thoroughly fed up with this farce. Xiao Hengxi had been spoiled! Right now, she was like a madman!
"Ning Hua is a girl from a noble family, her every move is incomparably beautiful. Her beauty is exquisite and exquisite, beautiful beyond compare. No one can compare to her!" Chu Junyi's gaze was as cold as a thousand year old ice, and the chilling aura was like many sharp blades that stabbed into one's heart.
Xiao Huan Xi took two steps back with a dejected look on her face.
Chu Junyi walked past her without a glance, and then walked out of the room.
The door closed with a clang!
Xiao Huan Xi stood there in a daze for a long time before she fell to the ground with a thud. Her fingers were tightly pressed against the blanket on the ground and the look in her eyes was cold and sinister. "Heh heh, what a high evaluation. If she lost her charming face and became an ugly monstrosity that everyone would want to puke on, would you still think she's beautiful?"
"Shen Ninghua, if you want to ruin my life, don't blame me for bringing you down with me. There are thousands of men in this world, and you shouldn't have taken a fancy to my brother Jun Yi!" You damned bitch! "
As they walked out of the room, Chu Junyi caught sight of Xiao Feng Jue who was standing not too far away.
Xiao Feng stood next to the pavilion like a stern pine tree. Apparently, he had heard everything Xiao Hengxi said to him. However, he didn't say anything. He just looked deeply at Chu Junyi, then turned and left.
Chu Junyi didn't stop either, leaping over the walls of the Xiao family.
That day, when he returned to the Xiao family, he wanted to discuss the matter with Xiao Jingran. However, he heard the furious words from Xiao Jingran:
"We raised him. If it weren't for the Xiao family, no matter how prestigious his status is, he wouldn't have survived the many attempts to kill us. Even now, the Xiao family is still supporting him. With so many relationships, is it not enough for him to give Huan Xi the position of main wife?"
He had never been short of food, clothes, food, and living in the Xiao family, and was no different from Xiao Feng Jue and the rest. He was also grateful to the Xiao family for their kindness to him, and he had even already planned to ensure that the Xiao family would enjoy a hundred years of glory once he recovered his identity. It was a pity that the Xiao family did not seem to be satisfied with him.
He didn't want to stay in the Xiao family any longer, so when he came out, he went to the princess' mansion. However, he didn't know that Xiao Huan Xi had summoned all of the deathsworn by her side, vowing to destroy Shen Ninghua!
Inside the Canton Courtyard, Shen Ninghua watched as Bai Yu helped Shen Xuelin with the medicine. The look in his eyes relaxed a lot. "Xuanlin, have you felt tired in the past few days?"
In order to deal with the imperial physician, Shen Xuanlin was now awake and lying on the bed, unable to move at all. From time to time, he would even pretend to be unconscious for a bit.
Shen Xuanlin shook his head and smiled widely, "Big Sis, I'm not tired at all." She was very happy to be able to help elder sister!
Shen Ninghua's lips curled up into a smile as she bent down to help him cover himself with the blanket. "Rest well, I'll head back to the Rebirth Hall first. If there's anything else, get someone to call for me."
"Alright, I got it. Big Sis, hurry up and rest."
Walking out of Moon Facing Residence, the smile on Shen Ninghua's face dimmed. "Bluebird, has the house been peaceful recently?"
"Miss, many servants think that young master will die soon. They are very afraid of chicken pox, so they think of ways to send a message to the outside world so that people can fish them out."
A cold glint flashed in Shen Ninghua's eyes. "These people are really brainless. The entire Canton Courtyard has been sealed off. If this boat were to capsize, they would all drown to death. To think someone would jump down to save them!"
"What is Miss going to do with them?"
"Since they are restless, we will beat them until they are obedient. Tell them to keep an eye on us. If anyone else sends a message, we will drag them into the courtyard and execute them so that everyone can watch them."
"Yes, miss."
Shen Ninghua returned to the courtyard. "Have you investigated Senior Servant Gui's family members and found any news about them?"
"Miss, I only found out that Senior Servant Gui's son owed a large amount of gambling debts, and that the person chasing the debt broke his leg." Miss, I only found that Senior Servant Gui's son owed a large amount of gambling debts, and that the person chasing the debt broke his leg.
Shen Ninghua paused in the middle of playing with the jade bracelet on her wrist, a sharp glint flashed across her eyes. "Second Prince's Mansion …" After experiencing the incident with the venomous snake, Baili JinChuan should have been extremely angry and resentful towards her. However, he wasn't going to make a move on Shen Xuanlin. It seems like the person behind this was trying to throw the blame on the Second Prince.
Just as the two of them were talking, Hong Ling walked in quickly and reported, "Miss, there's a commotion at the Xiao family's side. Xiao Huan Xi has sent a Death Soldier from the Xiao family to assassinate you!"
"Death Soldiers of the Xiao family really send pillows when they are sleepy!" Shen Ninghua stood up. Her starry eyes were cold and resplendent. "Since she dares to come, we'll give her a proper gift!"
