Chapter 115 The poison reappears
Chu Ci pointed at himself in disbelief: "Do I still have the right to speak?"
The purple-robed envoy nodded, "The emperor has already agreed to your request, and the eunuch who will deliver the decree is on the way."
Wow, so exciting?
Chu Ci was thrilled that the emperor actually agreed to her request, while Shi Shengmin was shocked by Chu Ci's identity. However, due to the presence of the Purple-robed Envoy, he dared not make any move and could only look at Chu Ci with expectation.
Chu Ci would not confront the teacher and the people, but his tone was not weak either. "The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. I think that I, a commoner, have no right to interfere in the affairs of the governor's family."
The purple-robed envoy did not really want to listen to Chu Ci's advice. As soon as Chu Ci finished speaking, the purple-robed envoy said, "There are still many doubts in this matter that need to be clarified. I will keep this letter for now."
Teachers and students didn't want to agree, but who made their wives do something stupid? "It's only natural."
He was very satisfied with the governor Shi Shengmin's wisdom and said, "I still have official business to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
The Purple-Robed Envoy came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
But everyone present, except Chu Ci, broke out in a cold sweat.
Especially the wife of the governor who had caused trouble, after the purple-robed envoy left, she immediately forced out a stiff smile. "Fan, Madam Fan, I'm sorry. I didn't know the letter was fake..."
Xing Tian was almost crying. Couldn't she wait until she was gone before talking about such a serious matter?
I kept complaining in my heart, but tried to pretend to be calm on my face. "Master, Madam, I have something else to do at home, so I'll take my leave now."
Shi Shengmin and his wife were both stunned for a moment. Xing Tian acted so convincingly that they had forgotten about this person.
But Xing Tian was a wife of an official, so they couldn't touch her either. They could only force out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Madam Zhang, take care. Butler, go and see Madam Zhang off."
"And me!" Just as Chu Ci finished speaking, Shi Shengmin and his wife tried to stop him, but Chu Ci had already grabbed Xing Tian's arm.
Left as quickly as possible.
The abandoned butler: ...
The dumbfounded teacher and student Min and his wife: …
On the other side, Chu Ci and Xing Tian just walked out of the governor's house, and Xing Tian took Chu Ci for a spin. "My husband said you were interesting before, but I didn't believe it. I never thought that my husband, a fool, could have good taste sometimes."
Chu Ci couldn't help laughing when Xing Tian called Zhang Yaoyang a fool. "Were you pretending just now?"
Xing Tian was slightly startled when she heard this, "Did you figure it out?"
Chu Ci: “Isn’t this obvious?”
Then he suddenly asked, "Why? If the governor gets angry with you, your life will be very difficult even with Xing Situ's support."
Xing Tian glanced sideways at the gate of the governor's mansion, "Anyway, my husband's personality is destined to prevent him from climbing up the ladder, so why should I put myself in a difficult position?"
Chu Ci: "Okay, as long as you know what's going on. See you later!"
Chu Ci turned around and was about to leave, but Xing Tian unexpectedly grabbed Chu Ci's arm. "Sister Chu, I heard you're studying medicine? Can you help me take a look?"
Chu Ci stared at Xing Tian for a long time before saying, "If you want to, come to the 'pre-marital training'."
Xing Tian agreed without much hesitation: "Okay, I will definitely go, sister, wait for me."
Chu Ci always felt that he was going to fail, and although he didn't know why he had such a premonition, he became more cautious towards Xing Tian.
At the same time, a carrier pigeon from the governor's mansion quickly flew into the sky.
But it had not flown far when it was caught and the letter on its leg was replaced.
However, the man didn't know that shortly after he replaced the letter, the carrier pigeon was caught again and the letter was replaced again.
These teachers, students and couples knew nothing about it. As soon as Yuan Xu, who was far away in Liaodong, received the letters from the teachers, students and couples, the Yuan family began to move quietly.
This investigation actually revealed a lot of interesting things.
Since the issue was related to the stability of the border, Yuan Xu naturally did not dare to conceal it. On the second day, he sent the evidence along with a letter of apology to the emperor through the express channel.
At the same time, Chu Ci finally received the Imperial Sword bestowed by the emperor.
As expected of a royal sword, the scabbard is made of gold, gleaming with golden light, and the hilt is also golden, with a vivid golden dragon engraved on it. When the sword is pulled out, it is chilling and the blade is exceptionally sharp. It is definitely a magical weapon for showing off.
Chu Ci drew out his sword with great interest and danced a few sword flowers excitedly. This was something he had started practicing since he got the news. Although he was not very proficient, everyone present was very respectful.
Only the eunuch who delivered the decree looked embarrassed: "This is an imperial sword, it should be enshrined..."
Fan Jingrui hurriedly put on a smile and stuffed a light purse into his hand. "Eunuch, my wife is just too excited. The imperial sword will be well taken care of."
The father-in-law took the purse and squeezed it gently. It was very light, probably containing banknotes. There were also two round objects, probably pearls. It was worth it for him to use his connections to get this job.
The father-in-law was very satisfied and turned a blind eye to Chu Ci's behavior. Besides, he was specifically warned before coming.
So is the emperor so tolerant of himself now?
After getting the answer he wanted, Chu Ci simply put away the Imperial Sword. After thanking the eunuch solemnly, he found a locked sword box in front of everyone and locked the Imperial Sword inside.
After that, there was the routine reception and greetings. With the experience of the previous two times, everyone was more skilled this time.
With the Fifth Prince and the Purple-robed Envoy present, the young eunuch did not dare to put on airs. So after announcing the decree, he left early the next morning.
Xing Tian arrived at the "pre-marital training" almost immediately after the young eunuch left.
Chu Ci hasn't come over yet, but this doesn't affect Doctor Hua from taking her pulse.
But no one expected that Xing Tian refused Doctor Hua and insisted on waiting for Chu Ci to come before taking her pulse.
Xing Tian was an official's wife after all, and visitors were guests, so Yuanniang could only pass the message to Chu Ci.
Chu Ci came very quickly. At this time, she still didn't know what Xing Tian was up to. "Here I am, let's get started!"
This time Xing Tian did not refuse, but Doctor Hua took an unprecedentedly long time to take her pulse.
"There is a poison in your body?" Doctor Hua said this after he made repeated diagnoses and confirmed that it was correct.
Chu Ci stood up immediately after hearing this: "It's the same as Chu Ling'er's, or..."
Before Chu Ci finished his question, Xing Tian said, "Chu Ling'er."
Chu Ci was even more shocked now, "You know, I came here on purpose today, why?"
"Because I don't want to live like a rat in the gutter all my life, and I'm also... worried about the girl whose identity was replaced. I don't know if she can still be alive like you." Xing Tian's voice was full of compassion, but Chu Ci felt his scalp tingling.
