Chapter 381 Interrogation

Since Nuomin entered the palace, even Concubine Shu, who was once the favorite of the Six Palaces, retreated. Nuominsheng's young and beautiful appearance is not a charming demon goddess of the country, but a cute girl who makes people feel pity for her at first sight. Not to mention others, even Concubine Ying sometimes feels soft-hearted when she sees her. If Nuomin makes any request, as long as she looks at you with her clear eyes, even the stern-hearted person will not be able to refuse.

Concubine Ying lowered her eyes to hide her thoughts, and her smile was still flawless. She sat dignifiedly behind Emperor Jing Hong, looking down at the person who was happy. Her son, the Ninth Prince, had a carefree smile, and he was very close to Chu Junlan at first sight.

Nuomin was very sensible, but in just a moment he returned to Emperor Jing Hong.

Emperor Jing Hong smiled and said, "The marriage between the Chu girl and Xu'er is approaching. I specially allow the girl to go to Tiandao Mountain to pray for blessings and meditation to cleanse her heart. Today's family banquet, I wish you two a smooth journey."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you for your kindness, uncle."

Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu stood up and saluted respectfully.

The King of Qin, the Ninth Prince, Concubine Ying and Nuomin also congratulated each other. Everyone raised their glasses and drank several times, wishing Chu Junlan a smooth journey to Tiandao Mountain. Chu Junlan all thanked with a smile.

When dusk is about to sink, the banquet is over.

The King of Qin and the Ninth Prince left first, and Concubine Ying also knew the truth and left first.

Nuomin reluctantly held Chu Junlan's hand: "It's rare for us to meet each other, why don't you stay with me for a while? I'll ask someone to send you out of the palace later." After saying that, Shui Lingling looked at the emperor with big eyes begging.

Emperor Jing Hong smiled and said, "Forget it, it's rare that Concubine Yu likes you so much, so you can stay for an extra hour to talk with Concubine Yu."

"Abide by the order." Chu Junlan's heart skipped a beat, and he calmly put on a grateful smile to thank him.

She had just looked for an opportunity at the banquet and saw only two words "Beware" on the note Nominsai gave her.

What should I be careful? Nuomin has been with the emperor for a long time, and he must have known something inadvertently.

Today's banquet came suddenly, and it was strange that even the emperor ordered her to go to Tiandao Mountain to pray for blessings and recitations.

Could it be that there is anything else that Chu Junlan doesn’t know about?

Emperor Jing Hong looked at Xiao Xu with a smile: "Xu'er, come with me."

"Yes, uncle." Xiao Xu responded respectfully and did not give Chu Junlan a look. His face was as noble and cold as usual, and he seemed to be worried at all.

Chu Junlan followed Nuomin and walked all the way to a remote courtyard.

They followed Zhao Lu, the eunuch next to Emperor Jing Hong, and dared not say anything extra. He even had to act happily and relaxed, and the performance was really hard.

"Empress Yu Concubine, the emperor said that the empress is weak and the weather is cold now. Please go back to the palace to have a rest. Don't walk too much outside. If you get infected with the cold, you will be bad." Inner supervisor Zhao Lu suggested with a smile.

Nuomin's heart was pounding, and he held Chu Junlan's hand with a little reluctant expression and shook it: "I have indeed been feeling unwell recently. I have walked a long way more now, making it uncomfortable when the cold wind blows."

Chu Junlan hurriedly said, "The emperor loves the empress, and the empress should cherish her body. You should go to rest according to the emperor's will."

"Well. Then I'll leave." Nuomin waved his hand to Chu Junlan with a smile, still refusing to call himself "I". After turning around, he dared to show a trace of worry at the angle that Zhao Lu and the rest of the people could not see, but soon raised a cheerful smile to cover it up.

Chu Junlan smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhao, it's getting late, and the little girl should go out of the palace. Please ask your father-in-law to lead the way."

"No hurry," Zhao Lu said with a smile, "The emperor told you to wait here, please come with our house." As he said that, he swung the whisk and led Chu Junlan to the main house beside him.

Chu Junlan couldn't help but remember the scene when Emperor Jing Hong saw her privately. He knew it and his heartbeats and thumps like a drum beat.

She followed Zhao Lu to the house, and bypassed a large screen of a mahogany carved magpies climbing onto the branches, and saw a not-so-wide hall.

The floor tiles in the hall are black marble that can be seen by others. Every time Chu Junlan takes a step, he feels like stepping on the smooth mirror. At the end of his sight, he can see a table and a chair. There are antiques and books placed on the Duobao Pavilion around him. The decorations in the house are simple but gorgeous.

Behind the black-painted table, Emperor Jing Hong sat upright on the official hat chair, and the eunuch Li Defang stood beside him.

As soon as Chu Junlan entered this room, he keenly realized something was wrong.

There seemed to be a slight whirl in the air. She noticed that there were at least ten masters of internal martial arts hidden in the room. However, she glanced over and could not see where they were hiding. She could only judge one direction from the breath.

Chu Junlan couldn't help but feel secretly shocked. The same scene as when she met last time, Cao Qin took the lead last time. This time Cao Qin had withdrawn from the power center of the emperor's confidants, but Chu Junlan did not dare to neglect at all, because the other party was a master of one stern rule. She was not confident that she could escape safely from here, and she could not implicate anyone in the family because of her affairs.

It seems that the note Nomin gave her means.

Chu Junlan respectfully walked up to the front and knelt on his knees: "See the Emperor."

Since Chu Junlan entered the door, Emperor Jing Hong was looking at her expression. However, Chu Junlan's expression was always calm, making him unable to see any clues.

Such people who are not surprised by the situation are the most difficult to deal with.

Emperor Jing Hong chuckled, his voice relaxed, but the majesty and domineering in his words could not be ignored.

"I ask, you answer."

"Abide by the order." Chu Junlan knew that if she could not satisfy the emperor if she had a half-sentence answer, she might not be able to go out today.

Emperor Jing Hong was very satisfied with Chu Junlan's obedient attitude and asked slowly: "How do you learn your medical skills?"

Chu Junlan kowtowed respectfully and took out the set of words he said to everyone.

"Return to the emperor, my daughter's medical skills are obtained from the year when I was suffering from the wood stagnation. My daughter was sick, and although she was lying down and unable to move, her thinking seemed to have entered another world, where she learned everything she knew now."

She did learn this in another world, and she was not guilty at all.

Emperor Jing Hong looked her up and down, as if he was judging whether her words were true or false.

Chu Junlan said: "My daughter dare not say anything falsely. The emperor will find out once he checks the past, and the minister has no way to deny it."

It is precisely because he can find out after checking that Emperor Jing Hong became very interested in her current state.

Doctor Qi has disappeared for so many years. Some people say that he has been buried in the world, some people say that he is still looking for an heir, and some people say that he has ascended to become an immortal. Could it be that Doctor Qi's bizarre medical skills have been that after he became an immortal, he could not bear to have his medical skills lost, so he chose Chu Junlan and taught them in his thoughts?
