Lady Jiao - Chapter 12

After all Pei Jiu is the king of Chu, Chu land is vast and capable people come forth in large numbers, there are many capable people in his house, it is not difficult for him to find a doctor who can rejuvenate.

Three days later, Ning’er was drooling in the carriage, she lost all image, she hugged Pei Jiu’s arm and muttered in her sleep.

Pei Jiu nodded between her eyebrows: “Here we are, get up.”

Ning’er opened her eyes in confusion: “Are you there? Where are you?”

Seeing her dumbfounded look, Pei Jiu had nothing to do with her: “We’ve arrived at Prince Chu’s Mansion.”

Ning’er jumped down from the carriage: “Your house? What are you bringing me here for? Ah, you don’t think you want to marry me to be the mistress of your house?”

Pei Jiu also came down with her, and said in a cold voice, “Idiots are talking about dreams.”

The butler was about to reach out to help the girl out of the car, but saw that the girl jumped off carelessly. She didn’t look like a lady at all, and what she said was…extremely brazen.

No woman has ever dared to be presumptuous in front of His Highness the King of Chu like this.

Even the current Empress Dowager Xing hated the King of Chu deeply, and when they met, she couldn’t help but put on a smiling face and greet her.

The tiger falls in Pingyang, after all, it is still a tiger.

Pei Jiu took a look at the butler, and the butler hurriedly said: “Miss Yuan, we prepared a food mat for you.”

Ning’er said “hmm”, “Okay.”

The butler lived to be in his fifties and had been with Pei Jiu for nearly ten years, so his eyes were very sharp.

The girl in front of me is too beautiful, like a disaster, His Highness’s temperament is not suitable for this girl.

Ning’er entered the room and sat on the small couch by the window. On the table was a green jade pot, exquisitely carved, as thin as paper, with a jade cup on one side, and Ning’er was holding the jade pot He poured tea into the jade cup, but it didn’t come out, and there was no tea in the pot at all.

The maid who came in to deliver the snacks saw it, and hurriedly said: “Miss, this Yangchun pot…”

She wanted to say “Yangchun Pot is priceless, but you can’t touch it”, but a cold look came over her. The maid was startled by the King of Chu, and hurriedly said: “Girl, this is Furong Cake, you can try it.”

Ning’er threw the jade pot aside and ate the lotus cake.

She smelled it, and it was delicious.

Ning’er waved to Pei Jiu: “Brother Pei, you eat.”

Pei Jiu said: “I don’t eat sweets.”

Ning’er took a piece and insisted on stuffing it into Pei Jiu’s mouth, Pei Jiu squeezed her wrist, “Don’t make trouble out of no reason.”

The maid didn’t dare to look at it, and stood aside with her head down.

Ning’er said: “Brother Pei, I don’t like lotus cakes.”

Pei Jiu said, “Come for something else.”

The maid hurriedly backed out, and when she came in half a quarter of an hour later, the maid brought a bowl of bird’s nest porridge.

Ning’er pinched her nose and disliked that the bird’s nest didn’t look clean enough.

Pei Jiu took a look, it was crystal clear, where was it not clean enough, this little girl really has many problems.

He said: “I haven’t eaten since noon, don’t force me to pour you.”

Ning’er pursed her mouth and obediently drank half a bowl.

After drinking it, she continued to sit and play on the couch. The furnishings in the room were extremely elegant, and the gadgets she got, whether it was fans, jade pendants, jade bottles, or wood carvings, were all exquisite.

Tired of playing, she tilted her head and gradually fell asleep.

Pei Jiu came over and took away the jade chess piece she was pinching.

He casually took a soft pillow, placed Ning’er on the couch, and let her lie flat.

Pei Jiu said: “Has Mr. Zhen come?”

The maid outside said: “I have passed the third door, and I will be there in half a minute. Your Highness, you go and change your clothes first, and this servant is here to watch Miss Yuan.”

Pei Jiu changed his clothes, and when he came back, the doctor was waiting outside the door.

The maid opened the door curtain and let Pei Jiu and Mr. Zhen in.

Pei Jiu said: “She has passed out, Mr. Zhen, she is weak and afraid of pain, you should be gentle when you give her the needle.”

Ning’er strained her ears to listen, at first she thought that Pei Jiu was going to faint her and sell her for money, but now that she heard him say that, her heart suddenly softened.

There was a veil on her wrist, and Mr. Zhen felt her pulse through the veil.

After pondering for a moment, Mr. Zhen said: “The poison has entered the veins of the heart. It’s not that there is no cure, but it’s not easy to cure. The person who injured the girl left a glimmer of life for her, and the girl’s body is always good. I have the ability to heal.”

Pei Jiu said: “I hope you can tell me about the rescue method.”

Mr. Zhen said: “The medicines used for detoxification are all precious. Just the thousand-year-old snow lotus used in the daily medicinal bath will cost dozens of flowers. This is just one of them. I will write down the prescription later.”

Pei Jiu nodded, and said again: “Doesn’t acupuncture force out the toxin?”

Mr. Zhen shook his head: “That’s useless.”

Pei Jiu’s face darkened slightly.

Mr. Zhen glanced at Ning’er again. He felt that this woman had an extraordinary background, but he, a doctor, couldn’t ask about many things.

Pei Jiu followed Mr. Zhen out.

The two maids were guarding outside the screen, Ning’er opened her eyes and touched her shoulder.

She… seems to be saved.

Ning’er actually didn’t think about how she should live in the future if she could survive.

Pei Jiu came back after two quarters of an hour, Ning’er’s legs were a little sore, but he had to pretend to be asleep, when he came back, he shook Ning’er: “Wake up.”

Ning’er’s eyelashes trembled: “Ah? Why did I fall asleep?”

Pei Jiu said: “Apart from eating and sleeping, do you usually do anything else?”

Ning’er smiled and said: “Of course I will sit in other places, such as…”

She pressed Pei Jiu’s shoulder and moved her body lightly: “Sit on your lap.”

Pei Jiu: “You—”

Ning’er’s slender fingers caress Pei Jiu’s long and narrow eyes.

He changed his clothes, and he was wearing a black robe in front of him. The neckline and cuffs were exquisite silver moiré patterns, his hair was tied in a jade crown, his eyebrows were deep, his nose bridge was straight, and his thin lips were very sexy.

Ning’er moved a little closer, and breathed like blue: “Brother Pei, why didn’t I realize that you are so… pretty.”

Pei Jiu pinched her fingers: “Don’t touch me casually.”

Ning’er knelt on the couch and said very seriously, “I want to kiss you.”

Pei Jiu turned around and walked away, “Shameless.”

Ning’er laughed until her stomach hurt, she immediately got out of bed and acted as Pei Jiu’s little tail.

After going out, an attendant came over: “Your Highness, General Su Zhou is here to ask to see you again.”

When the attendant looked up, he saw His Highness’s ears were a little red, and he couldn’t hold back for a moment, and asked, “Your Highness, have you caught the cold? What’s wrong with your face…”

“No.” Pei Jiuhan said in a low voice, “Let him wait in the north study, the king will go there right away.”

Ning’er poked her head out from the door, and she rolled her eyes: “Su Zhou?”

Pei Jiu suddenly remembered Ning’er’s evaluation of Su Zhou a few days ago, Ning’er compared Su Zhou with Rong Wang Shu Nanzhu, praised Su Zhou to the sky, and Shu Nanzhu to the ground.

Su Zhou is also from the prince’s side, and Ning’er is so high on Su Zhou, it must not be like what she said, she is very afraid of the prince.

Thinking of this, Pei Jiu felt a little uncomfortable.
