Chapter 237: What about exchanging lives?
Chapter 237: What about exchanging lives?
After eating more than fifty dishes and drinking more than five kinds of wine, Chu Ci felt very weak all over.
Seeing Chu Ci like this, Mrs. Li smiled faintly, "Okay, my body doesn't allow me to eat too much now. You two, eat a little more and then have a good rest."
Mrs. Li helped the little maid's hand to stand up, "I'm going to leave first. I'm old, not in good health, and tired. You two can eat."
Chu Ci wanted to stand up and see him off, but his body swayed.
Chu Zhen quickly stood up and hugged Chu Ci in his arms, "Mother, you go first. I will take care of my sister."
Chu Zhen said this, holding Chu Ci's arm with one hand and tugging at his collar with the other.
Mrs. Li nodded in satisfaction and left. She owed her son so much. As long as it was something her son wanted, she would help him get it, no matter what the cost.
Chu Zhen picked up Chu Ci, slowly walked into the inner room, and carefully placed Chu Ci on the bed.
Looking at Chu Ci lying on the bed, Chu Zhen suddenly felt a little hot all over.
Looking at Chu Ci's sleeping face, he reached out and touched Chu Ci's face, then fell down uncontrollably.
Chu Zhen looked at Chu Ci's snow-white neck, swallowed his saliva, and kissed her directly.
Just when he was about to kiss her, his whole body suddenly shook. What was he doing?
Realizing that he was wrong, he quickly dodged to the side and slapped himself hard in an attempt to wake himself up.
Chu Zhen realized that he was wrong and looked at Xiaoci lying on the bed. What about her?
Chu Zhen looked at Chu Ci and couldn't take his eyes off her. The more he looked, the more addicted he became. His body felt more and more uncomfortable, and he was getting closer and closer to Chu Ci.
By the time Chu Zhen regained consciousness, the two of them were already face to face. Chu Ci took a deep breath, quickly ran to the side, and shrank into a corner.
In order to make himself feel better, he took off his coat, and he didn't know when the collar of his coat was opened.
Chu Zhen kept taking deep breaths and felt like he was burning in fire, so hot and so swollen.
Chu Zhen felt like a long time had passed and his body was already burning hot. There were two voices in his mind. One voice kept telling him to go to bed, saying that he would feel better as long as he went to bed.
Another voice told him that the person on the bed was his sister, someone he could not desecrate.
The original intention of this voice was to tell him to stay away from Chu Ci, but the two words "Chu Ci" were what attracted him the most.
Chu Zhen couldn't hold on any longer and rushed towards Chu Ci.
At the same time, the eldest brother and the master had already dealt with their own affairs and were thinking about coming to pick up Chu Ci.
They entered Chu Ci's yard, but there was no one inside, not even a sound.
The two of them realized that something was wrong and ran into Chu Ci's room, and saw Chu Zhen rushing towards Chu Ci on the bed with his upper body naked.
The eldest senior brother dodged and kicked Chu Zhen. Chu Ci fell on the table beside him and the table was smashed into several pieces.
Chu Zhen struggled to get up, but Old Man Tianji's eyes darkened and a silver needle flew over to him. Chu Zhen sat there unable to move.
The eldest brother held Chu Ci in his arms and called out a few times, "Girl, girl."
But no matter how he shouted, Chu Ci didn't react at all this time.
Old man Tianji came over and took Chu Ci's pulse. His face immediately darkened. Originally, if he had put all his efforts into bringing Chu Ci back, he would have had a 90% chance of success. But now, there was only a 20% chance.
"Someone gave me an aphrodisiac, and the effect was too strong. My heart meridian, which I had barely protected, was now even more seriously injured."
The eldest brother felt so distressed when he looked at the little girl. He didn't understand why such a kind little girl had so many disasters?
"Master, how confident are you?" The eldest brother's voice was hoarse. That was a strong aphrodisiac, but it didn't have any effect on the little girl. She just had a little flush on her face.
"Twenty percent, wait a minute." Old Man Tianji had just said twenty percent when he seemed to have diagnosed something wrong.
Seeing that the master's face had turned very dark, the eldest brother felt a pang in his heart, feeling that something even worse had happened.
Old Man Tianji took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then changed hands to take the pulse.
The eldest brother knew that something was wrong. The master had to take his pulse, so it must be a serious matter.
The eldest brother was very anxious and felt like he was being roasted alive on the fire.
"One percent."
As soon as Elder Tianji finished speaking, the eldest senior brother who was holding Chu Ci collapsed to the ground with a deathly expression on his face, as if he had lost his life in an instant.
One percent, he laughed, what’s the difference between that and certain death?
But when he thought about his little girl, he was unwilling to give up. Such a beautiful time, such a beautiful little girl. He tugged at the sleeve of Tianji Elder, "Master, Master, is there any other way?"
"What about exchanging my life for hers? Give her my life back, even if it means she can live a few more days?"
Old Man Tianji shook his head. "It's useless. It's not someone's destiny. Otherwise, why do you think those emperors were willing to die? Don't they want to live forever?"
"Let's go back to Tianji Pavilion first. It's not completely impossible. Isn't there still a 10% chance? Man can conquer nature."
The eldest brother carried Chu Ci and walked out. When he saw Chu Zhen lying on the ground, he raised his foot, wanting to stomp his heart to pieces.
Elder Tianji saw through it and stepped forward to stop him. "Okay, he didn't do it on purpose. He was drugged. Saving him is more important."
The eldest senior brother withdrew his hand and left with Old Man Tianji, but he never forgot the grudge against Chu Zhen.
Another person who felt something was wrong at this time was King Rui.
The battlefield was also extremely lively at this time.
Xiaorou woke up not long after Chu Ci left.
Prince Rui didn't wait for her to react, and immediately ordered people to arrest Xiaorou and everyone around her, and began to interrogate her, using torture, until she found out who her superiors were and everything she knew.
Xiaorou looked at Prince Rui in disbelief, tears welling in her eyes. "Brother Rui, why do you treat me like this? Don't you like me? Don't you want to marry me and make me Prince Rui's Consort?"
Prince Rui looked at Xiao Rou, who was covered in wounds, with cold eyes. He took out his dagger, walked to Xiao Rou's side, stepped on her wrist, and said, "I never said I liked or loved you."
"I never said I wanted to marry you or make you the Princess of Rui. All of this was to buy me time to find all the spies."
Having said that, King Rui thrust the dagger in his hand fiercely into Xiaorou's wrist, pinning her wrist to the ground, and bright red blood slowly flowed out.
"You are not worthy of her blood. For your own selfish interests, how many of the 500,000-man army died in your hands? How did you defeat 200,000 soldiers? This matter will not be let go like this."
"Watch here. After the blood has dried, hang it upside down in front of our gate as a demonstration. Let it dry in the sun, and then throw it to the stray dogs."
Prince Rui's voice was full of powerful force, but the next moment, he was filled with panic.
