Chapter 40 Overcoming the Wall
General Wang asked in a deep voice: "Miss Chunhua, have you discovered it?"
Chunhua suppressed her crying: "No..."
She turned around and looked at She Dengke in disbelief with red eyes. She Dengke's eyes were a little confused and relieved.
General Wang looked at Chunhua, then looked at She Dengke, and his voice became colder: "Miss Wangchunhua will call us next time with conclusive evidence. Our Qiansui Army is the prince's escort, and it is not a little constable who looks for a chicken and a dog. Let's go."
The guards were about to leave, but they were not careful that Old Man Yao would stand in front of them and said lightly: "Apology."
General Wang was silent for a moment and turned to look at Chen Ji: "Sorry, I offend you!"
Chen Ji said slowly: "Please trouble General Wang to clarify for me at the door, otherwise the neighbors will not interact with me in the future."
General Wang shook his head: "I can't do this, let's go!"
The guards of the royal palace came and left quickly. Chunhua looked at She Dengke and stopped talking, and finally turned around and left with red eyes: "You are going to kill me!"
"Slow down!" Chen Ji said.
Chunhua stopped, turned around and looked at Chen Ji, and said with a little fear: "What are you going to do? I don't think about it, but I can't do it."
"Borrow a step to speak."
Chen Ji led Chunhua to the door and said softly: "When I go back, I'll tell Concubine Jing that I don't have to be enemies with her. Liu Shiyu was not killed by me, nor was she killed by the secret spy department. She was silenced by the Liu family. Since I could help her find the lead barium glass cup last time, I can also help her revenge this time. Go back, you should be fine if you bring this sentence."
Chunhua was stunned for a moment and turned around and left.
Chen Ji stood in front of the clinic, listening to the discussion around him, and watching Chunhua's leaving figure.
The sun sets, and the orange-red light fades away from him little by little until it is shrouded in the night.
The Secret Spies Department, Military Information Department, Concubine Jing, Concubine Yun, each of these people is a giant in this world, and it seems that he can crush him to death with his arms raised.
Chen Ji's fate is not controlled by himself, and he can only survive in the cracks when he is a newcomer.
But now there is a chessboard in front of him. He gently falls a piece on the edge of "Spring Corner". Maybe he can't decide the outcome, but he always takes a different approach when playing chess and never takes a vulgar hand.
When he returned to the clinic, he saw Old Man Yao glaring at She Dengke: "Have your wings hard? Kneel down!"
She Dengke knelt on the ground honestly, crying with tears in her eyes: "Master, I didn't expect this to be the case. Chunhua said that Concubine Jing asked her to do this, otherwise she would kill her tonight. Chunhua told me that she just needed to hide a bead in Chenji's clothes and drive Chenji out of the Imperial Medical Center. She took out all her savings for many years and said that she wanted to compensate Chenji. Chenji could do a small business if she left the clinic."
As she said that, She Dengke took out three silver ingots, two silver hairpins, two silver bracelets, and thirty-six copper coins from her arms.
Old man Yao turned to look at Chen Ji: "This is a matter, what do you say?"
Chen Ji stood silently.
Chunhua could have given ten taels of silver, fifty taels of silver, and five hundred taels of silver, but she gave thirty taels of silver and thirty-six copper coins, because Chunhua only had so much.
But can you forgive me? I can't forgive me.
He knew that in this era, a girl like Chunhua had no choice. If she didn't do it, Concubine Jing would really kill her.
But if I was really framed, the ending would be as simple as being kicked out of the imperial physician? No, I would definitely be killed by Chunrong and a staff member.
He thought he could treat the clinic as his own home and his fellow brothers could become his own family, but reality would never happen as you expected.
The fucking thing about this world is that it won’t let you go just because you are a good person.
Chen Ji is not a good person either.
He picked up all the silver, bracelets, hairpins and copper coins on the ground: "I took these things away, but Senior Brother She, you and Chunhua each owe me a life. When will I ask you to pay it back, you will have to pay it back. Is it okay?"
She Dengke nodded wildly: "Yes! Yes!"
Chen Ji turned around and returned to the main hall of the clinic. Liu Quxing looked at his back and stopped talking, but he felt that nothing he said now seemed to be working.
Old man Yao looked down at She Dengke who was kneeling: "Things that are fascinated by women, go into the house and kneel down, don't be annoying here. Although Chen Ji will not be investigated, if there is any incident, this clinic will not tolerate you."
...
...
At night, Taiping Hospital became quiet, as if nothing had happened during the day.
Chen Ji stood behind the counter and supported his chin.
The dark clouds walked out of the shadows, jumped gently on the counter and sat down, spitting out a round pearl in Chen Ji's palm.
It meowed: "Don't be sad, don't be angry."
Chen Ji hid the pearl in his sleeve: "I am not sad, nor am I angry. Sadness and anger are a useless emotion for the weak... Say happy and settle the score!"
"I'm igniting a total of sixteen fires in total. I feel that fighting a secret spy is not a problem. When I was imprisoned by the royal guards today, I feel that I can completely break free from them. I don't know how many fires I ignite to defeat Si Cao, Lin Chaoqing, Yunyang, Jiaotu..."
"Pearls cannot be sold now, so I will go to other cities to make a move. I bought six ginseng in Bailu Pavilion and returned one to Old Man Yao. The remaining five ginseng costs a total of 195 taels of silver... Including the fifty taels under the bed, there are also the money that Chunhua compensated me. We still have 85 taels of silver and 121 copper coins left."
Wuyun was puzzled: "How many roast chicken can I buy?"
Chen Ji didn't understand after quitting for a long time: "...Anyway, there are a lot! When buying ginseng, the Si Cao really didn't give any cheaper at all. Do you think I want to find a way to become the Military Information Department in Haidongqing, Luocheng, and go to Bailu Pavilion to be a shopkeeper? It just so happens that I am studying traditional Chinese medicine and my major is also right..."
If you can take charge of Bailu Pavilion, even if you are not greedy for money, you can buy ginseng for purchases, right?!
At this time, the dark clouds pricked up their ears, and it heard the slight but messy footsteps outside the door, and several people were leaning towards the clinic.
"Chen Ji, someone has come here, several!"
"Huh," Chen Ji blew out the oil residue lamp and gently came to the back of the door panel to listen.
Who will it be?
Ning Chao Secret Spies Department or Jing Chao Military Information Department? Or Jing Fei was unwilling to give up and sent someone to kill him?
This is the situation of multiple identities. When someone attacks, Chen Ji cannot even judge who took the action.
However, before he could think clearly, he heard a voice coming from the backyard: "Hurry up, move lighter!"
Chen Ji suddenly turned around and looked through the corridor between the main hall and the backyard, but saw a tall figure rolling into the yard!
Surrounded!
He gestured to Wuyun and asked Wuyun to hide in the darkness. He pulled out a short knife for cutting medicine from behind the counter and quietly covered it up.
Chen Ji's palm was sweating slightly, and more than a dozen people were in contact with each other. He was definitely not able to deal with such a siege and killing.
But before he could walk to the backyard, he saw a little monk climbing up on the wall between the clinic and the royal mansion!
The little monk's head was smooth and shiny under the moonlight, and he was rushing into the courtyard wall with great effort. Chen Ji looked carefully and saw that it was the prince of Prince Jing's mansion who was dressed in bright clothes and angry horses during the day?
In amazement, a voice came from Anxi Street outside the clinic: "Everyone should be calm, the prince will come out immediately!"
Chen Ji looked back at the main entrance, then looked at the prince, the little monk in the yard, and the princess who were climbing over the wall... Princess Baili.
Chen Ji: Ah?
In the middle of the night, he thought that Concubine Jing had sent more than ten people to assassinate him, but he didn't expect that he would make a mistake.
Chen Ji slapped the little monk's bald head and said angrily: "Hey, what are you doing?"
As soon as these words came out, the little monk and the prince were startled. Princess Baili, who was climbing over the wall, quickly retracted her head, and then secretly poked her head out and looked into the backyard of the clinic.
Under the moonlight, Chen Ji held a knife, the graceful girl slammed the wall, the prince and the little monk were as guilty as thieves, and no one expected that everyone would meet like this.
Just like the beginning of all stories, people are caught off guard when they meet.
Chen Ji raised his eyebrows and asked, "Criminal, it's midnight. Isn't it good to climb over other people's walls like this?"
The prince was puzzled: "Do you know me?"
Chen Ji sneered: "I met you, I hugged you when you were a child."
Prince: "…"
Zhu Baili, who was lying on the wall, laughed: "Brother, he is hurting you."
"Speak quietly," the prince yelled: "Don't attract the guards!"
The prince was not angry when he looked at the apprentice of the clinic in front of him. He smiled and wanted to hold his arms around him. However, after seeing the short knife in Chen Ji's hand, he retreated angrily: "It's such a little brother. You know who we are. The palace is curfew at night and there is no free entry or exit, so we will borrow a passage from your clinic. Don't worry, you will never damage any property!"
Chen Ji had never heard of the royal palace curfew, but he combined the prince’s words “the old man is strict in control”, perhaps the curfew was specifically targeted at the prince and the princess.
So the other party kept the main entrance of the palace and did not leave, but just climbed over the wall of the clinic.
While thinking, the little monk looked at Chen Ji in the moonlight, and his eyes lit up: "So it's you, are you in this clinic?"
The prince was puzzled and asked in a low voice: "Do you know each other?"
The little monk smiled and said, "I met you. I have seen you during the day. He is a very powerful person. I originally wanted to ask for some advice, but he disappeared from the crowd."
