Zhou Buyan's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes blinked.
A month.
And the shadows hiding around, nervous and nervous, almost didn't reveal themselves when they heard this.
They didn't notice Zhou Buyan's change at all. Has the leader already reached this point?
It's only been a month.
Your Majesty asked them to bring the leader back alive no matter what.
They struggled to stabilize themselves, but Chu Chu was a little unsteady.
"Why did it get so serious so quickly? Why don't you save him quickly?"
The Holy Witch looked at Chu Chu and said, "I'm here to save him tonight."
He looked calm, and Chu Chu's expression changed, "I hope you will do what you say."
"I will. Next I want to talk to him alone and then save him. You can go out first."
"What do you want to talk about?" Chu Chu was alert.
The Holy Witch was still the same, "Isn't this the condition of saving him? You go out, don't worry, he is no match for me now."
After she went out, the Holy Witch looked into Zhou Buyan's eyes.
"Chu Chu said that you were kicked out of the palace by Queen Da Chu. She believed it, but I didn't."
"But it doesn't matter whether you are acting or not."
The Holy Witch said bluntly, "I can save you and give you the Holy Gu again. The only requirement is that you must marry Chu Chu as your wife and take care of her for the rest of your life."
"If you dare to disobey, you will pay a heavy price. Do you accept it?"
After the Holy Witch finished speaking, he continued without waiting for Zhou Buyan to answer, "You may think that we may be extorting a favor, but this is the only thing I can do for Chu Chu."
"Maybe in your eyes, she is hopeless, but it's just because she is miserable."
Zhou Buyan didn't mince words, "Can't we change the conditions?"
The holy witch was resolute, "No, I don't think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me. I just said that you are now at the end of your life, with a maximum lifespan of one month, and the only person in this world who can save you is me."
.”
"I can tell by looking at your eyes that you don't want to die, and this is your only chance to live. I don't think you need to think too much about your choice, right?"
Zhou Buyan nodded, "I do want to live. As long as there is a way, I will try my best to live."
The Holy Witch's expression softened a lot, "Yes, you know better, so you agree?"
Zhou Buyan suddenly turned around and asked, "How does the Holy Witch plan to save me?"
"You don't have to worry about how I save you, just tell me whether you agree or not."
The holy witch looked straight at Zhou Buyan, and Zhou Buyan's eyes slowly turned black inexplicably.
"What's going on?"
There was no expression on the Holy Witch's face, "You just say whether you agree or not..."
The voice seemed to come from the horizon, and also seemed to explode in his ears, causing Zhou Buyan to unconsciously say the words "I promise."
Chu Chu, who wanted to eavesdrop outside, could only vaguely hear the sound, as if she heard Zhou Buyan agree.
Her hands that were holding on to her clothes suddenly relaxed, and a trace of shyness appeared on her face.
He twisted his body unconsciously, "Are you ready to start embroidering the wedding dress..."
She felt a little unhappy when she touched her face, but cheered up again, "My face also needs to be treated. When it is cured, I will be the most beautiful bride."
A smile of intoxicated happiness appeared on her face, as if her lifelong dream was about to come true.
Da Chu, Imperial Palace.
The north wind is howling, winter has come early this year, and it is extremely cold.
Chu Xingchen discussed and dealt with the antifreeze and other tasks, and ran to the medical school after get off work.
Zhou Buyan followed Chu Chu to the Kingdom of Wu, because the final outcome was unknown, and Chu Xingchen was still looking for a way to solve the hidden dangers of the holy Gu.
At the medical school, Chu Xingchen previously established a research and killing base for poisonous insects, and now the laboratory is experimenting with how to eliminate poisonous insects.
Although the progress is slow, Chu Xingchen can't find other people or methods, so he can only have hope for it.
She went there in a low profile. Everyone was very excited about her arrival. Chu Xingchen smiled and encouraged them and asked some questions.
Everyone responded positively, and after waiting for a while, Chu Xingchen left and went to the dean's office.
Chu Xingchen wanted to talk to the old doctor, but he didn't expect that because there were seriously ill patients in the hospital, the old doctor went there.
Chu Xingchen jumped into the air and didn't care, "I'll wait for the old doctor."
Xia Zhi was afraid that Chu Xingchen would be hungry. There was no one there after school at the medical school, and Shadow was also watching over her, so he went to buy her food.
Chu Xingchen was left alone.
Chu Xingchen sat on the chair and looked out the window, not realizing that there was someone hiding under the dean's office.
The man was wearing a medical school uniform and was holding a writing brush in his hand. He might have hid in a hurry and accidentally got the ink on his face.
But he didn't know it himself, he just focused on hiding.
There are medical records on the table, one written in wild cursive writing, and it looks like the handwriting belongs to an old lady doctor.
The other one was written neatly and was specially copied and kept. It seemed that the medical student was copying for the old lady.
Normally, Chu Xingchen might have noticed something strange, but today she was absent-minded, so she didn't notice it.
Miraculously, Shadow didn't notice it either.
The medical student was breathing so lightly that they ignored him.
Originally, the medical student was hiding away, but Chu Xingchen remained silent. Instead, he couldn't help but become curious, so he couldn't help but poke his head in and take a look.
The first thing I saw was Chu Xingchen’s shoes and skirt. Whether it was the fabric of the shoes or the skirt, you could tell at a glance that they were expensive.
After looking at it twice more, his eyes finally fell on Chu Xingchen's face.
Seeing this, the medical student was stunned for a moment.
It was not because of the queen's beauty that he was amazed, because what he saw was a tired and sad face.
If it weren't for the fact that he had indeed met the Queen before, he might have thought that he had made a mistake.
There was no majesty and gentleness that I had seen earlier, and there was no bright sunshine when speaking. It was as if all the aura had disappeared.
She was leaning on the chair, feeling weak and looking out the window indifferently. Her eyes were numb, her face was haggard, and she was so fragile that she seemed about to fall down in the next second.
The medical student was stunned, as if he had seen another side of the Queen.
He just stared blankly. After a while, when he heard the gentle and appropriate voice of the palace maid coming from outside, she stood up and left.
The medical student sat under the table and did not move for a long time.
Chu Xingchen didn't know there was anyone in the office. She was just too tired and couldn't find hope. The pressure on Zhou Buyan's body pressed towards her, making her breathless.
She thought she would cry, but she hadn't cried since Zhou Buyan left.
She was so tired and numb that she couldn't cry.
After listening to Qiu Lai, the old lady doctor couldn't finish it for a while, so Chu Xingchen went back to the palace first.
On the way, Xia Zhi tried his best to make her happy and let her eat some.
Chu Xingchen touched Xia Zhi's head, lowered her head and stuffed the food into her mouth. She didn't notice the taste, but she hadn't missed a meal since Zhou Buyan left.
When she returned to Liangyi Hall, she saw Xiao Wang waiting for her. He was still holding the account book. When he saw her coming back, he said hello, but his hands on the white jade abacus did not stop, and they were crackling.
After waiting for a while and coming to an end, he stopped and pressed his eyebrows, "Counting the days, Zhou Buyan and the others should have arrived in Wu State. If nothing unexpected happens, the news will come back tonight."
He was going to wait for the news together, "Please invite me to sleep with you tonight."
Chu Xingchen paused and said, "Okay."
Xiao Wang's prediction was correct, news did come back from Zhou Buyan.
They have arrived in the Kingdom of Wu and confirmed that Chu Chu is indeed the daughter of the Holy Witch. They agreed to treat her in three days.
"That started yesterday."
When the news came back, even the fastest flying pigeon was delayed.
"I don't know what's going on."
"It should be fine." Xiao Wang reassured.
But Chu Xingchen was still very confused.
He thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night. Chu Xingchen tossed and turned, and when he finally fell asleep in the second half of the night, he had a dream.
She dreamed that Zhou Buyan and Chu Chu were getting married.
