Chapter 59 The Ritual of Lettering
Chu Muhen knew what Doctor Xiao meant. Doctor Xiao had been helping Gu Jingxi with his medical treatment and taking care of his health since he was a child. How could he not see the difference between His Highness the Crown Prince and Jing Xi?
Just don't say anything.
He lowered his gaze and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for reminding me. Mr. Xiao is very interested."
It has not been exposed, because some things cannot be exposed, just like Gu Jingxi's current identity. If it is exposed, it may lead to chaos in the southern country.
Mr. Xiao said in a low voice while tidying up his medicine box, "His Royal Highness the Regent wants His Highness to grow up, so he must learn to let go."
If you always protect the young ones behind you, that child will never grow up and will always rely on the strong.
Chu Muhen: "..."
The person lying on the bed lowered his eyebrows silently and did not speak, as if he was deep in thought.
Dr. Xiao had already packed up the medicine box and bowed slightly to Chu Muhen, "I've said too much, sir. There are still matters in the hospital, so I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, he turned around and left. At this time, Gu Jingxi came in with tea. Seeing that Mr. Xiao was leaving, he immediately put down the tea set, "Mr. Xiao, I'll... see you off."
Mr. Xiao glanced at Gu Jingxi, then smiled kindly and gently, "Your Highness..."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is aloof and aloof, and holds himself in high esteem. There is no need to give it away."
Gu Jingxi was stunned and realized her identity. When she stopped, she also lowered her gaze and said, "Then I won't send you away, Doctor Xiao."
Mr. Xiao nodded slightly and then left.
Watching Doctor Xiao leave, Gu Jingxi looked back tremblingly, like a child who had done something wrong, standing in front of Chu Muhen in an orderly manner, "I'm sorry, I... seem... to have made some mistakes."
"Are you hungry?"
Chu Muhen asked lightly.
Gu Jingxi's eyes trembled, her beautiful eyes were filled with water. He looked at Chu Muhen, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "Well..."
Hungry.
Chu Muhen stood up holding on to the bed, "Let's go, I'll take you to dinner."
When Gu Jingxi heard that she was eating, she became nervous. She grabbed the sleeve of the person who had already walked up to him and blinked with aggrieved eyes, "I... don't want to eat rabbit meat anymore."
Chu Muhen's eyes were downcast, and he glanced at his pulled sleeves, "If you don't want to eat, don't eat. Don't act coquettishly. Your coquettishness is of no use to me."
Acting like a baby? Gu Jingxi frowned and let go of her hand. Was he acting like a baby? It seemed... No, he was just saying his request.
How could he be considered coquettish like this? Inexplicably, when he was about to speak again, he saw Chu Muhen flicking his sleeves, leaving him and walking out.
Gu Jingxi looked at Chu Muhen's back, a little at a loss, "Why...is it weird?"
In the North Kingdom, the day Lin Junlan was allowed to enter the palace was already the day before the wedding. Logically speaking, the engraving ceremony should have been completed.
"The etiquette of engraving" is the etiquette for "male wives" in the North before they enter the marriage. Because unlike women, they cannot prove their innocence, so before getting married, they have their husband's family name engraved on their wrists to show their loyalty.
In this way, even if he is driven away from his husband's house in the future, he can still tell whether the man is innocent or not from his wrist.
Boring and stupid requests are the madness in the northern court.
Fu Shiting and Lin Junlan entered the palace together. Originally they were worried, but when they walked together, they seemed to be watching over them.
"After entering the palace, don't say anything you shouldn't say."
Originally, it was a word of concern, but to Lin Junlan's ears, it sounded a bit ironic, as if... it meant a warning.
He frowned and looked at Fu Shiting, "What should be said and what should not be said?"
"Words that go against the emperor are things that should not be said."
Fu Shiting knows Su Yanzhi's character best. On the surface, he doesn't mind some things, but in his heart he is very grudge. Even if he doesn't care about it now, it doesn't mean that he won't think about it in the future.
Lin Junlan walked on the road of the palace, his figure silent, his eyes downcast, looking ahead, his voice cold and firm, "He is your king, not mine. He is not now, and he will not be in the future..."
Su Yanzhi's regal posture would only make him feel sick.
As soon as he finished speaking, his wrist was grabbed. With a bang, his back was thrown against the wall nearby. His wrist was pinched and stuck on the wall. Fu Shiting pressed his hand and his voice was hoarse:
"Lin Junlan, no matter what you think in your heart, you are now the royal family in the North Kingdom, understand."
Lin Junlan: "..."
His wrists were so painful from being pinched that he raised his eyes and looked at Fu Shiting, "So, let me be grateful to him? Bow three times and kowtow nine times, and make offerings like a Bodhisattva? How about being more direct? I will set up a memorial tablet and give it to him every day.
Offer incense and pray for blessings?”
Fu Shiting frowned tightly and stared at his with knowing eyes, "Listen, Su Yanzhi wants you to die. It's easy. You'd better be obedient."
I wanted to persuade Lin Junlan to be more open-minded, think about her situation, and not to act rashly, but I don't know why these words sounded like a threat.
Lin Junlan was also arrogant and threw away Fu Shiting, "If it's easy, let him kill me. Kill the nine tribes? Destroy the clan?"
"Then it's okay to commit suicide together with him."
Fu Shiting: "..."
Silent, Lin Junlan was already angry, and any further persuasion would be counterproductive. She let go of his wrist and continued walking forward, saying as she walked, "When you meet that person, you have to go back with me. We still have to finish today.
The gift of engraving.”
"It's up to you, you can engrave as much as you want. Anyway...I'm not that clean."
