"If what you said is true, why don't you dare to swear?" Zheng Jinhua's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped her painful leg.
"You are clearly lying to fool us and the Emperor! This is deceiving the Emperor!"
It is a serious crime to deceive the emperor. Even if the regent can save her life, she will not be able to escape the physical pain!
In fact, after returning to the mansion during the day, she gradually regained her composure, and immediately began to question Chu Ran's words in the palace, but felt that she did not have the guts to lie in front of the emperor.
At the same time, there was a glimmer of hope in my heart, hoping that there would really be such a senior person in the world who could reshape his son's spiritual roots, so he had been waiting until now.
But at this moment, after hearing Chu Ran's words, she was almost certain that the so-called senior was just the other person's random nonsense!
Zheng Jinhua was so excited that his voice rose several times, "I will go into the palace now to report to the emperor!"
"Okay," Chu Ran didn't care, and even called the housekeeper enthusiastically for her, "go help Er Niang prepare the carriage and take her to the palace."
She's not afraid!?
A trace of suspicion arose in Chu Tian's heart, and he stared at her with scrutiny, wanting to see if she was really confident or if she was bluffing.
However, Chu Ran still had that smiling face, which was elusive.
"Do you think I don't dare?" Zheng Jinhua decided that she was just faking it, so she immediately turned around and walked out the door.
Chu Tian kept looking at Chu Ran, trying to see the panic and guilty look on her face.
But he failed.
Even though Zheng Jinhua had already walked into the yard and the housekeeper had ordered the guards to bring the carriage and was waiting outside the house, Chu Ran remained calm and composed, and even yawned lazily!
Chu Ran frowned, looked at her deeply, and then shouted: "Stop!"
Zheng Jinhua turned around and looked at him in disbelief: "Master?"
He glared sharply: "You don't even look at what time it is. If you enter the palace at this time, isn't it nonsense!"
Zheng Jinhua opened her mouth to speak, but when she met his intransigent look, her years of habit of pleasing him and her instinct of obeying his orders made her subconsciously shut her mouth, but her expression was filled with unwillingness.
Chu Ran had seen enough of the show, and then he said leisurely: "Second mother and father are discussing slowly, and I won't accompany you. It's so late, and if you two don't rest, I still have to rest."
After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and walked out of the front hall leisurely.
When he passed by Zheng Jinhua, he smiled at her. Looking at her face that was deformed with anger, he felt that the air in the General's Mansion tonight seemed to be extra sweet.
The steps under my feet are a little more brisk, like a spring breeze.
"This bitch!"
Zheng Jinhua cursed loudly, and even the fear of her husband was dispelled by anger. She turned to look into the hall and asked: "Why did you stop me just now? She didn't dare to swear, she was obviously guilty! If she brought trouble to the emperor, he would never do it.
Let her go easily!"
"Does she feel guilty at all like she did just now?"
Chu Tian retorted, with a bit of anger in his words.
"I think she is eager for you to make this matter bigger and then swear an oath in front of the emperor! If you fail to file a complaint then, she will beat you up! Have you ever thought about the consequences?"
The furious rebuke made Zheng Jinhua confused.
"No...it's impossible, right? How can that bitch have such a scheme?"
"If that were not the case, why wouldn't she be afraid if you were making noises about entering the palace? She must be well aware of it!"
Chu Tian picked up the portrait with still wet ink on the table.
"This person may not be fake. I always thought that her change was related to Mo Jue, but now it seems that may not be the case."
Maybe there really was some reclusive powerful person who came to the imperial city by chance and met her.
It's not certain that this rebellious girl got this opportunity just by chance.
But Chu Tian still had some doubts in his heart, so he said: "No matter what, send someone to check first. If it is true as she said, this person has been to the inn, there must be other people in the city who have seen him!"
"Then what if we can't find it? And it's been so many days, who knows if this person is still in the city. Can we wait so long for our son's injury?"
Thinking of her unconscious son, Zheng Jinhua felt so distressed that she wanted to cry.
"It's all that bitch's fault! She is a lone star! She killed her mother, and now she wants to harm us!"
"That's enough! What nonsense are you talking about!" Chu Tian seemed to have been poked into a painful spot. He was extremely excited and his eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to eat her.
Zheng Jinhua panicked and realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Why did she mention that old bitch?
He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to cry and lowered his head in fear.
Chu Tian closed his eyes suddenly, took a deep breath, and suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart.
"If you can't find it, it means that the rebellious girl's words are false, and it won't be too late to enter the palace by then. And didn't you say this afternoon that Xinghe once said that the second-grade alchemist from Nanling College is about to arrive?"
He also knew something about that person.
"As far as I know, there is only Zong Zhengyun in the academy, who is of the second grade. The person who comes here should be him! This person is extremely accomplished in alchemy. There is no one in the entire Jin Dynasty who can defeat him. With him here, he may be able to think of a way to save his life.
Xinghe. No matter what happens, there will still be Medicine Sect!"
The rebellious girl had already promised in front of the emperor to help them save Xinghe. If they couldn't find the senior she mentioned, no matter what she said was true or false, she would have made a mistake.
Didn't Mo Jue want to protect her?
At that time, he can take the opportunity to ask the Medicine Sect to come out, and in exchange, he doesn't have to worry about Mo Jue not agreeing!
…
Zhaiyue Pavilion.
As soon as Chu Ran entered the yard, he saw Mercury sitting on the steps in front of the main house, waiting eagerly.
Seeing her, Mercury's eyes suddenly lit up: "Miss, you are finally back!"
She ran up to Chu Ran in three steps and two steps, and looked her up and down several times to make sure that she was not injured and did not look like she had been wronged. Only then did her tense nerves relax.
"I'm really worried that they will hurt you. Fortunately, you're fine."
Chu Ran smiled, and seeing a hint of fatigue in her brows, her heart softened unconsciously, and she said warmly: "You are also tired today, go down and rest."
Mercury was a little reluctant, she hadn't helped the young lady to bed yet.
But these days of getting along with each other made her realize that her young lady was a stickler for words, so she had no choice but to step aside obediently.
Back in the room, Chu Ran took out the elixir he had bought from the black market, refined it into juice with his bare hands using elixir fire, and put it into the medicine bottle.
There are more than a dozen of each of the three elixirs. Chu Ran spent a whole night just refining them, almost depleting the spiritual power in the sea of qi, but the results were quite impressive.
There are a total of twelve medicine bottles!
After putting away the medicine bottle and taking a spirit-gathering pill to replenish her spiritual power, she called Mercury in: "What's going on in the house today?"
