Chapter 115: True Identity
Chapter 115: True Identity
Chu Ci arrived at Huichuntang and met the shopkeeper and the little medicine boy who were sorting herbs.
They wanted to go forward and pay their respects, but Chu Ci waved his hand and said, "Just focus on your work. I'll go upstairs. If you have anything, just come to me."
Chu Ci went to a specially reserved study upstairs. As soon as she sat down, the little medicine boy brought her the best tea. "Miss, please."
Chu Ci sat there, thinking about how things had developed to this point and what the people behind the scenes wanted to do.
What consequences would arise if these 10,000 lives were really lost?
Prince Rui was punished? Is that all? This only benefits the other princes, but they are also their people.
It will also generate huge public opinion and panic, and that will not be the country's business.
Chu Ci thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who was behind this. He picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip to comfort his burning brain.
At this moment, the door of the study opened, and Chu Ci saw the shopkeeper and Cang Mo coming in, "Miss, Prince Rui wants to see you."
Chu Ci waved his hand and said, "Go out."
Cang Mo looked around and saw that there was only one seat in such a large room. He walked to Chu Ci's side and picked her up. After he sat down, he placed Chu Ci on his legs and said, "You will feel more comfortable sitting here."
Chu Ci was speechless. Could she choose not to sit?
Cang Mo put his arms around Chu Ci's waist and buried his face in Chu Ci's arms. "Let me lie down for a while. I haven't slept for two days."
Chu Ci swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and just made a "hmm" sound from his nose.
After a cup of tea, Chu Ci stroked Prince Rui's head and said softly, "Don't you have anything you want to ask?"
She could clearly feel the person in her arms pause, and then a muffled voice came, "I can wait, wait for the day you are willing to tell me, wait for you to tell me everything in person."
Chu Ci smiled, and the movements of his hands felt much gentler. "Okay, it will be quick. It shouldn't take long."
After all, this matter caused such a big stir that she wouldn't be able to hide it when her master came to deal with her.
Cang Mo thought that Chu Ci meant that the time would soon come for him to share his secret with her, which relieved a lot of his fatigue during this period.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Cang Mo held Chu Ci in his arms, blinked, his eyes flashed, but he still didn't move. But when he listened carefully, he could hear a soft snoring.
Chu Ci looked towards the door, then glanced at the person in his arms, hesitated for a moment, and said to the person outside the door, "Come in, and keep your voice down."
The shopkeeper slowly pushed the door open, and when he saw Chu Ci holding a man in her arms, he subconsciously closed the door again.
But when he was halfway through closing the door, he realized something was wrong, "Miss, what are you doing?"
Chu Ci made a gesture to speak in a low voice, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
The shopkeeper then remembered the purpose of his visit. "Miss, everything has been done. The only thing left to buy is the food. I can give it to you around tomorrow morning."
"Just find a large frame and install it. Place it on the cliff next to Suansi Mountain. Have Lin Feng find someone to watch over it. Remember, don't let anyone see it."
When Chu Ci talked about the Death Mountain, the person in his arms clenched his fists, and Chu Ci happened to see it.
Chu Ci shook his head in amusement, and his voice was no longer suppressed. "Okay, go out and make the arrangements first."
Chu Ci sent the person out and began to tease the person in her arms. She muttered to herself, "Oh, right, I read in a book the other day that if a sleeping person raises their arms, they won't put them down. It's okay, let's try it."
Chu Ci suppressed his laughter, lifted Cang Mo's arm, and let go. Sure enough, the arm did not fall down.
Chu Ci turned his head to the side and sat on him to see how long he could last.
Sure enough, not long after, Cang Mo woke up.
He rubbed his eyes as if he had just woken up, and when he met Chu Ci's half-smiling eyes, he suddenly understood.
The sleeping man had no idea how to keep his hands raised, and since he was not paying attention at the time, he just did as she said.
"Are your arms sore?"
Prince Rui pinched her nose and said, "You little fox, you even lied to me."
"Weren't you the one who lied first?"
"Then I also want to clarify my identity."
Chu Ci glanced at him sideways, flipped through the account book on the table, and started to calculate the accounts using two abacus.
Xie Mo watched Chu Ci's small hands rummaging around so quickly that he wished he could only see their shadows. He thought that in the future he would hand over his private property to Chu Ci, who would definitely manage it well.
After a while, the account book in front of Chu Ci was finished.
The next day, Mu Qiran got up while it was still dark.
She changed into a neat outfit, tied her hair up simply, and walked towards the edge of the cliff.
As soon as Chu Ci left, a black shadow jumped down from the big tree outside. He knew that the little fox would not call him.
Just as the man was about to catch up, he saw Qiuyue coming out of the house to catch up.
Cang Mo called out to her, "You stay here, I'll go."
Before Qiuyue could answer, she vaguely saw a dark shadow flash by.
Chu Ci reached the edge of the cliff alone. Standing on the edge, looking at the thick fog below, Chu Ci felt like dying again.
The difference from last time was that Chu Ci knew this time that she would not die if she jumped, but, how to say it, she was scared.
It's like going bungee jumping. You jump up, knowing that you won't die, but it also doesn't stop you from feeling extremely scared.
It's so high, what did she think she could come last time? She didn't come even when I called her aunt, and this slap in the face came so quickly.
Chu Ci walked to the edge of the cliff, tied the rope around herself consciously, and personally confirmed the length of the rope to make sure she could reach the bottom directly. She didn't want to climb down again.
Chu Ci stood on the edge of the cliff, her face full of confusion. She was really scared.
Lin Feng stood aside and looked at Chu Ci's eyes at this moment. He knew that this was embarrassing for her. After all, she was just a little girl. If it were an ordinary person, he would have run away long ago.
He stepped forward and asked, "Princess, how about I go in your place? Please tell me what you are going to do next."
Chu Ci glanced at her and knew in his heart that she must be willing, but in reality she couldn't.
Chu Ci shook his head resignedly, "You'll die if you go down there. My body is special, so I can walk inside."
Chu Ci checked the rope on his body again and prepared himself mentally. Just as he was about to go down, a familiar voice was heard.
"Chu Ci, you want to abandon me again."
Chu Ci turned around and looked at Cang Mo with a bitter face, tears almost falling, "You have to believe me, if even one of you can make this journey, I will never go down."
"Then I will accompany you."
