The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 114 114 Deserve it (1st update)

The midsummer sun was scorching the earth, and the weather was as sultry as a giant steamer.

There was an unsettling smell in the air.

"Hurry..." Chu Lingxiao squeezed the words out between his teeth with difficulty, his face as white as gold paper, "Hurry and fetch Chu Qianchen!"

Chu Lingxiao felt his heart suddenly twisting and sinking, and he felt even more uncomfortable. The next moment, his vision went dark and he fell to one side.

The boy was so frightened that he ignored the blood stains on his face and cried out: "Master Hou, Master Hou..."

"Quick, call the doctor!"

The boy called out with a messy breath, but Chu Lingxiao had already fainted and could not hear the sound at all.

The Hou Mansion instantly turned into a mess.

Shen turned a blind eye to this and caressed her sleeves casually, leaving only two words: "You deserve it."

Mrs. Shen was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Behind her, Nanny Chen looked back at the fainted Chu Lingxiao with complicated eyes, and whispered: "Madam, the second girl...she was right."

Chu Qianchen had already seen through everything. She said that the emperor had been planning this marriage for a long time and was determined to win it. He would never let anyone ruin this marriage.

Sure enough.

Ms. Shen walked forward against the wind and said lightly: "There is still a good show to watch."

As Shen said, the fun has just begun.

More than half an hour later, another imperial edict came quickly, this time from another unfamiliar middle-aged eunuch.

In the imperial edict, the emperor reprimanded Chu Lingxiao for being audacious and disobeying the edict. He was fined one year's salary and punished with twenty sticks.

These chamberlains were very good at using sticks and other disciplines. As soon as the word "Qin this" fell, two lean chamberlains immediately pressed Chu Lingxiao to the ground.

The servants of the Hou Mansion knelt on the ground, no one dared to speak, let alone look at Chu Lingxiao and the servants.

Next, I saw the stick in the waiter's hand raised high, and then struck down hard...

"Pah! Pah!"

One stick after another was hit roughly on Chu Lingxiao's buttocks, each blow hitting him hard...

Chu Lingxiao's heartbreaking screams echoed one after another in the yard, but he didn't dare to hide at all and could only grit his teeth and endure it.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The chamberlains kept counting while beating, and they did not stop until they had hit twenty big boards.

After the punishment with the twenty sticks was completed, Chu Lingxiao was already breathing out too much and taking in little, and his breath looked like a gossamer.

The middle-aged chamberlain had long been used to this. He didn't show any emotion or soft-heartedness at all. He said calmly: "Master Marquis, you have to be aware of current affairs."

He didn't stay any longer, and after he finished speaking, he led the people away with great pride, leaving the servants of the Hou Mansion who were kneeling on the ground in silence.

Until the anxious and worried voice of the dowager broke the silence:

"Ling Xiao!"

The lady in purple trousers walked over quickly with the help of her maid, panting as she walked.

Mrs. Tai's graceful face was full of distress, and she said with concern: "Hurry, help Mr. Hou get up quickly!"

Chu Lingxiao's whole body was in pain, and it seemed that half of his life was gone, and he collapsed on the ground like a dead fish.

The boy just helped him up, but the pain made him grin and moan.

"Be gentle, be careful!" Mrs. Tai said quickly, "Ling Xiao, what do you think?"

"Where's the doctor? Have you hired a doctor?"

The madam was so distressed that she was hit on her son's body and hurt her mother's heart. She just wanted to suffer for her son.

The servant hurriedly replied: "Madam, you have already sent for the doctor. He should be here soon."

The madam was so panicked that she asked at a loss: "What on earth is going on?" How could the emperor...

"Chu Qianchen..." Chu Lingxiao murmured.

Before Mrs. Tai could react, she saw Chu Lingxiao asking the boy impatiently, "Has Chu Qianchen been brought back?"

Although the imperial edict just now did not explicitly mention that the emperor punished Chu Qianchen because of his affairs, but based on the words of Eunuch Ni and the middle-aged eunuch, Chu Lingxiao knew that the reason for the 89th achievement was for this matter.

What he doesn't understand is, why?

Even if the emperor named a concubine as Princess Chen just to humiliate King Chen, why did it have to be Chu Qianchen? !

The madam also understood that this was Chu Qianchen's fault, and murmured "crime" in her mouth.

"Not yet." The young man replied grumblingly, "The second housekeeper has personally taken people to Yanghezhuang. There should be news soon."

"Send someone to hurry up!" Chu Lingxiao urged, accidentally pulling the injury on his hip again, and his facial features were slightly distorted.

Chu Lingxiao was upset. He thought about what the emperor said on the day of the wedding, and about Eunuch Ni. Then he looked at the imperial edict he had just received. He was panicked and afraid: this imperial edict was given by the emperor. A warning, if Chu Qianchen does not show up at the longevity banquet tomorrow, will the emperor...

The more Chu Lingxiao thought about it, the more anxious he became, and his face became uglier.

"Ling Xiao, don't worry, he will be picked up soon." Mrs. Tai comforted her in a good voice, and then hurriedly ordered her servants, "Quick, help the Marquis to the house."

So, under the command of Mrs. Tai, the servants worked together to help Chu Lingxiao back to his room and let him lie down on the couch.

Immediately afterwards, the doctor also arrived.

The old doctor carefully treated the wound on Chu Lingxiao's hip, applied ointment, and asked the boy to change his medicine twice a day. It took him half an hour before he left.

Chu Lingxiao lay on the couch, motionless, completely lost in thought, as if all his energy and energy had been drained away.

He has never suffered such a crime in his life, and it's all because of this little **** Chu Qianchen!

There was an undercurrent in his eyes, and he clenched his hands tightly into fists and punched the couch heavily.

This punch affected the wound again, and there were waves of heartbreaking pain in the buttocks.

Chu Lingxiao took a breath.

"Ling Xiao, don't move!" Madam Tai quickly pressed Chu Lingxiao's shoulders and comforted him with a good voice, but Chu Lingxiao was still frowning, and from time to time he would ask "Chu Qianchen is back" without.

When he asked for the tenth time, the second housekeeper finally came back from Yanghezhuang.

The second housekeeper, who was wearing a green t-shirt, was in a hurry and had a complicated look on his face. As soon as he returned to the Hou Mansion, he heard about Chu Lingxiao being punished by the emperor's decree.

"Master Marquis," the second housekeeper reported with some anxiety, "the second girl is seriously ill and cannot move. She will not be able to come back."

The second housekeeper lowered his head, not daring to look at Chu Lingxiao's face.

What? ! Chu Lingxiao's face turned pale, and his hands were shaking in panic. A thought came to his mind: Could it be that Mrs. Shen has already taken action against Chu Qianchen?

Will Chu Qianchen...

He felt as if his whole body was soaked in ice water, and the chill penetrated his bones.

Chu Lingxiao took a deep breath and said hurriedly: "Quick, go and bring Chu Qianchen back to the Hou Mansion..."

That's right, even if someone drags him, Chu Qianchen will be dragged back.

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Just as the second housekeeper agreed, he was stopped by Chu Lingxiao urgently: "Wait a minute!"

Chu Lingxiao changed his mind again and felt it was inappropriate.

What if... what if Chu Qianchen died on the road, that would be the end!

The more Chu Lingxiao thought about it, the more panicked he became. His heart beat faster and faster. He frowned and said, "Go and call Doctor Xu back and ask him to accompany me to Yanghezhuang."

"Send someone to talk to the eldest lady again..."

Chu Lingxiao originally wanted Shen to accompany him to Yanghezhuang, but thinking of Shen's cold face, he was too lazy to put his hot face on someone else's cold buttocks, and kept silent.

The madam felt sorry for her son, who had suffered a serious crime today, and advised him, "Ling Xiao, you rest here, why don't I go to Yanghezhuang to pick up Sister Chen."

"Mom, I have to go there myself." Chu Lingxiao insisted.

Unable to defeat Chu Lingxiao, the Dowager Madam had no choice but to let him go. She gave numerous instructions to the servants accompanying her, telling them to take good care of the Marquis.

Chu Lingxiao got into the carriage again with the help of the servant. The servants of the Hou Mansion had already laid out thick mats in the carriage, allowing Chu Lingxiao to lie down in the carriage.

Even so, Chu Lingxiao still had a hard time.

As the carriage started to fly, there would inevitably be vibrations in the carriage. Every vibration would touch the wound on Chu Lingxiao's buttocks, as if thousands of needles were pricking his body. It was extremely uncomfortable.

But at this moment, all these sufferings were nothing. What Chu Lingxiao was more afraid of was that Chu Qianchen really couldn't be saved, and what he was afraid of was that the title of the Marquis Mansion would be ruined in his hands.

Chu Lingxiao was uneasy all the way.

The carriage drove for half an hour before arriving at Yanghezhuang.

Chu Lingxiao, who had been tortured all the way, was sweating profusely, even his middle coat was soaked with sweat, and he was in a miserable state.

When the steward of Zhuangzi heard that the Marquis was coming, he panicked and hurriedly came to greet him in person. He nodded and bowed, prepared a shoulder carriage, and carried Chu Lingxiao to the courtyard where Chu Qianchen lived.

This is a courtyard located in the northeast corner of Zhuangzi. Although the location is a bit remote, the advantage is that there is a small lake behind the courtyard. Half of the lake is planted with lotus flowers, and a pavilion is built beside the lake.

Chu Qianchen was standing beside the pavilion, in front of a hibiscus tree, with a graceful figure. She was wearing a bright red skirt, her thick black silk hair was tied loosely, and she only wore a pearl flower on her temples. Her fair skin was so tender that it could almost hydrate.

She gracefully held the scissors to cut the flower branches, her small and delicate chin was slightly raised, and her slender neck was as elegant as a swan.

The bright and bright sunshine gently shone down, covering the surrounding flowers and trees as well as her body with a light layer of golden powder, making it look like a picture.

When the wind blows, the rain-like petals fall with the wind and fall on the girl's hair, shoulders, and skirts. They are extremely pure and beautiful, with a look that outshines all other flowers.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Chu Lingxiao's eyes widened and he was stunned.

The second housekeeper who accompanied him was also stunned and in disbelief.

Chu Lingxiao glared at the second housekeeper fiercely. Didn't he say that Chu Qianchen couldn't afford to get pregnant? !

The second housekeeper said tremblingly: "Master Marquis, it was Miss Hubo who said that the second girl is ill and cannot afford to get pregnant."

When the second housekeeper came to Yanghezhuang last time, he didn't see Chu Qianchen at all. The only person he saw was Hu Hu. At that time, Hu Hu said that the second girl was seriously ill, so the second housekeeper believed it.

After all, the second girl was "exiled" to Zhuangzi, and now the Marquis is willing to take her back to the Marquis Mansion. No normal person would pretend to be sick, right?

He was a man, there were differences between men and women, and it was inconvenient to enter the house to see Chu Qianchen, so he had to leave empty-handed.

The second housekeeper was sweating and looked panicked.

Chu Lingxiao still didn't understand that he had been tricked by Chu Qianchen!

At this moment, the anger in his heart suddenly surged up. The emotions accumulated from Eunuch Ni to the Hou Mansion until now suddenly burst out, burning him up and losing his mind.

"You rebellious girl!"

Chu Lingxiao took a few steps forward angrily, rushed to the pavilion, and struck Chu Qianchen with the crutch in his hand. He even forgot about the pain in his buttocks.

The second housekeeper and others behind him took a breath of air and looked at Chu Qianchen with some sympathy.

Chu Qianchen blocked Chu Lingxiao's crutch with a light move of scissors.

"Father," she looked sideways at him with a bright smile, "I am young and weak. If I am beaten, what should you tell the emperor?"

The corners of her phoenix eyes were slightly tilted upward, as if they were covered with water, and they were so beautiful that it made people's hearts beat.

To Chu Lingxiao's ears, her words were tantamount to a threat!

A naked threat!

"You..." Chu Lingxiao's eyes widened and he stared at the girl one step away, feeling that he had never known this daughter before.

The girl in front of her had a faint smile and seemed gentle and harmless, but her eyes were cold and clear, like a wolf's cub.

She was completely different from the shy and weak look in her memory.

When did Chu Qianchen become like this? !

Chu Lingxiao's thoughts were confused, his expression was dazed, and he couldn't recover for a while.

Chu Qianchen casually withdrew the scissors that were blocking the crutch, and Chu Lingxiao's crutch fell to the ground. He was completely unaware and staggered forward.

The boy beside him quickly supported him and called nervously: "Master Hou!"

Chu Lingxiao grabbed the boy's arm with his backhand and stabilized his body.

Only then did he come back to his senses, feeling both embarrassed and angry. After all this torment, the wound on his buttocks became even more painful, so painful that he felt as if his body was being torn in half.

If it weren't for Chu Qianchen, he wouldn't have suffered like this!

Chu Lingxiao held his breath, and the veins on his forehead popped out, like a furious and crazy beast.

And Chu Qianchen continued to prune the flower branches.

"Kacha kacha..."

She calmly cut off the dead leaves from the branches, and cut off a branch with half-open flowers, and placed them on the wooden tray held in Amber's hand.

Chu Qianchen was calm and focused on pruning flowers and branches, as if there was nothing more important in the world;

Chu Lingxiao was furious and glared at Chu Qianchen. He really wanted to beat this unfilial and disrespectful girl to death with his own hands. He raised the crutch slightly, but dropped it again.

His desire to hit Chu Qianchen just now was just impulsive and hot-headed.

After being impulsive, he gradually calmed down.

The emperor has given instructions to Chu Qianchen to enter the palace tomorrow to attend the longevity banquet. If he really beats this girl up, she will enter the palace injured tomorrow. If the emperor discovers her, he will be the only one unlucky in the end!

Thinking of the twenty sticks he was punished with today, Chu Lingxiao's face twisted again.

Emotions such as hatred, unwillingness, anger, hesitation, fear, etc. flashed across the face...

In the end, he weighed the pros and cons and finally endured it.

He could just settle the score with Chu Qianchen after tomorrow's longevity banquet.

She is just a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken, and she is not allowed to be rubbed by herself!

"Chu Qianchen, get on the carriage and follow me back home!" Chu Lingxiao said in a commanding tone, his voice so cold that it almost made ice shards fall out.

Chu Qianchen ignored it and continued to cut the flower branches, taking his time.

"Click, click."

Wherever the sharp scissor blade passed, broken branches and leaves scattered on the ground.

The girl is so focused, as if nothing deserves her attention more than the hibiscus tree in front of her. When the breeze blows, the tree full of delicate flowers trembles gently in the sun, and the clouds are steaming and glowing.

Chu Qianchen picked another flower branch with five or six buds, cut it off casually, held the hibiscus branch between his fingers, played with it, and said nonchalantly: "Father, I'm sick, so I won't go back, so as not to hurt anyone." The house is infected with disease."

She didn't even look at Chu Lingxiao, she opened her eyes and told lies.

The second housekeeper next to him was dumbfounded. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that the second girl, who had always been weak and meek, dared to talk to the Marquis like this and didn't take him seriously at all!

Chu Qianchen's words were like pouring another bucket of hot oil on Chu Lingxiao's body.

He was filled with anger and was rising again. He suddenly raised his voice and ordered to his servants: "Come here, please take the second girl away without me!"

Chu Lingxiao had previously thought that Chu Qianchen was seriously ill, so he brought a few nannies and mothers-in-law with him to Yanghezhuang this time. He originally thought that they could take care of Chu Qianchen, but now they have come in handy.

The two big-bodied women with round waists quickly responded. They looked at Chu Qianchen with strange eyes, and felt that the second girl was simply crazy.

Any girl's family, whether she marries into a high position or a low position, needs the support of her mother's family.

Besides, the second girl married into Prince Chen's Mansion in the name of happiness. No matter whether Prince Chen survives or not, without the support of the Marquis, she will not have a good life in Prince Chen's Mansion in the future!

The two women approached Chu Qianchen aggressively, and one of them said with a smile: "Second Miss, I'm sorry! You should go back to the Marquis's residence with the Marquis."

Chu Qianchen smiled slightly, but said nothing.

Her response was to casually thrust the scissors in her hand into the red painted columns of the pavilion next to her.

The sharp scissor blades sunk deeply into the wooden pillar, as if poking tofu.

Chu Qianchen twisted his delicate eyebrows and said softly: "Hu Huo, these scissors are too blunt, please change them."

Hu Bo glanced at the scissors inserted in the wooden pillar, nodded seriously, and handed a new pair of scissors to Chu Qianchen with a smile, "Girl, this pair of scissors was just sharpened by the slave today, they must be sharp. "

Amber also gave the two women a look of sympathy.

Chu Qianchen raised the new scissors to his eyes, looked at the sunlight above, curled his lips with satisfaction, and his eyes became brighter against the blades of the scissors.

The sharp scissor blades reflected a dazzling light in the sun, shining coldly.

"..." The two women were so frightened that they stopped.

They thought that their flesh was definitely not as hard as the wooden stake. If the scissors were inserted into their hearts, it would be fatal!

The second girl is the future Princess Chen, so killing a slave is nothing. Not to mention Prince Chen's Mansion, even the Hou Mansion will cover it up, and their death will be in vain.

The two women swallowed, exchanged glances with each other, and timidly did not dare to step forward to look at Chu Lingxiao again.

Chu Lingxiao secretly scolded these two women for being useless.

"Crack!"

Chu Qianchen took the new scissors and neatly cut off another branch as thick as his thumb, and repeated lightly: "I'm sick."

Chu Lingxiao's eyebrows were raised deeply, and he stared at Chu Qianchen without blinking, with scrutiny, speculation, and consideration.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you crazy?!"

Chu Lingxiao finally understood that Chu Qianchen had not changed, she was always like this!

She used to be as docile as a sheep, but she was all pretending. She pretended to be cowardly and filial to her aunt, but in reality she was just a wolf cub, a white-eyed wolf, and a broom star!

Chu Lingxiao's eyes were deep, and there was darkness hidden in the dark pupils that others could not read.

He suppressed his anger and said slowly: "I don't care whether you are sick or crazy, in short, you must come back to Beijing with me today!"

Chu Qianchen cut off another section of flower branch, put it under his nose, smelled it, and sighed: "It smells so good!"

She ignored Chu Lingxiao, as if he didn't exist at all, and then handed the flower branch in her hand to Amber, "Humber, smell it."

Amber glanced at Chu Lingxiao's face, which was so dark that it was dripping with ink, from the corner of his eye, and he admired his girl in his heart.
