Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

Chapter 109: Charming and Tender, Yet Painful and Worried

Although Cheng Tianshui was reluctant, Chu Huanjun put five glittering gold ingots in front of him, and he had to accept Lu Che as a patient.

Cheng Tianshui took Lu Che's pulse, then lifted his eyelids to examine him. After a moment's hesitation, he turned to look at Chu Huanjun and said, "Debt collector, you've got a trick up your sleeve."

Chu Huanjun smiled and shook his head: "It's just a minor fight, why would you kill him?"

Cheng Tianshui sighed, then turned to Tao Yao, who was standing on the other side, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, young lady. Although this little fellow has been poisoned, the poison has only invaded the surface of his muscles and bones, and has not reached his blood vessels or internal organs. He is not in danger of death. I will use medicinal wine to clean the surface of his wound, and then use acupuncture to calm his heart. He will wake up soon."

After saying that, Cheng Tianshui went to find the medicine box and prepared to treat Lu Che.

Chu Huanjun pulled Tao Yao aside, and seeing that she looked a little relieved, he smiled and said, "Are you relieved now?"

Tao Yao turned her head to the side in displeasure, not looking at him, and asked with a hint of complaint, "Why are you here?"

Seeing her angry look, Chu Huanjun couldn't help but laugh at her. He also imitated her tone and complained, "Xiao Tao, don't forget, I still have the poison in my body. Of course, I came to the clinic to seek treatment."

Tao Yao turned her head back doubtfully and looked at Chu Huanjun from head to toe. She saw that he had a rosy complexion and looked calm, and did not look like he was unwell.

"Your Highness is blessed by fate. Even if he is poisoned by the most difficult poison, he can still cure it with his own ability." Tao Yao smiled, turned her head to look at Lu Che lying unconscious on the bed, and said, "He is different. He is more unlucky."

Chu Huanjun felt that Tao Yao's words were full of hidden meanings, and said with a smile, "Who is unlucky, him or you? You are annoyed by running into me every now and then, right?"

Tao Yao smiled and spread his hands, saying, "Xiao Chu, I think you overthink things. You always think about the different causes and effects of everything from three different perspectives. But many times, things are just as you see them."

"Oh." Chu Huanjun crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes into a pair of crescents. He looked at Tao Yao's face like a fox and said with a sigh, "So you're not annoying."

Tao Yao rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to continue the conversation. She bowed to him and said, "Anyway, thank you for saving Lu Che..." She paused, then asked, "Did you come to Qingshui Town to investigate Zuo Di's case? Is Wuyan Pavilion related to this matter?"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Huanjun slapped Tao Yao on the forehead: "Don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask about."

"Why shouldn't I ask?" Tao Yao said seriously, "Didn't you just use me as a bargaining chip to question Lu Che? Besides, I really hate Zuo Di. If I knew he would end up in the worst possible situation, I would naturally be happy. So, of course I would ask."

Chu Huanjun sighed and said, "When he really meets his worst end, I will invite you to watch it together."

"What do you mean?" Tao Yao grabbed Chu Huanjun's sleeve. "Didn't you say earlier that Zuo Di had been exiled to the border by the emperor to do hard labor? Could there be any changes to this matter?"

Chu Huanjun raised his arm, gently picked up Tao Yao's hand, and gently flung it aside like a bug, saying calmly, "I told you not to ask about things you shouldn't. This world is chaotic, and it's really hard for someone like you who has no skills to survive without any support. So, in order to survive well, you should not meddle in these messy things."

Tao Yao's heart moved, and she suddenly remembered that Chu Huanjun had promised her in the dilapidated temple that he would protect her if she went back to the capital with him.

It turned out that Chu Huanjun was hinting to herself that he could actually give her some support.

Tao Yao suddenly realized something and smiled faintly, "Who said I have no abilities? I have a lot of abilities. It's just that you don't understand me."

The weather in early spring was neither too cold nor too dry. Outside the window, three soft new willow leaves swayed gently against the window frame in the breeze. Tao Yao stood behind this hazy green. The sunlight did not shine on her face, but it outlined her figure with a soft golden edge.

Chu Huanjun squinted uncomfortably. Was the sunlight a little too bright today? Perhaps it was the lingering ice silkworm poison that hadn't yet cleared. A sharp, stabbing pain spread through his chest, as if he'd been bitten by a snake.

He didn't know why, but every time he faced Tao Yao, he would feel a feeling he had never experienced before: charming, gentle, yet also painful and worried.

What exactly was he worried about? Chu Huanjun himself couldn't figure it out.

They are still young and there is a lot of time in the future - Chu Huanjun comforted himself in this way.

There will be opportunities, and there will be many opportunities in the future. He can slowly get to know her, and she will slowly get to know him.

If he is willing, she will be willing too.

Chu Huanjun has always been confident about things that he is sure of, at least for now, Tao Yao is no exception.

But today, beneath this small window, the overly bright spring light suddenly dazzled him. Things that are too beautiful always make people pity them. Even if they are confident, they will still worry that this fleeting spring light will slip away through their fingers.

"When do you plan to leave?" Chu Huanjun asked.

Tao Yao pondered for a moment, then replied with a smile, "We'll leave as soon as Lu Che wakes up and is well again."

"Oh." Chu Huanjun nodded and pretended to be nonchalant. "I remember that there will be a Flower God Temple Fair in Qingshui Town soon. By then, the town will be full of spring flowers and there will be countless fun things to do. If you are interested, you can stay a while and see the temple fair before leaving."

"No." Tao Yao shook her head. "You must be staying in Qingshui Town for a while, right? Are you planning to take me away during this time?"

Chu Huanjun coughed twice, held his folding fan open in front of his chest and waved it, rolling his eyes at Tao Yao: "Don't be so narcissistic. This prince has important things to do. What kind of man would run around all day just for a woman?"

Tao Yao nodded in understanding, bowed slightly to Chu Huanjun, and said with a smile: "In that case, I wish His Majesty success and fame."

For some reason, Chu Huanjun suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart, especially when he saw the fake smile on Tao Yao's face, he became even more furious.

Chu Huanjun snorted and gently knocked away Tao Yao's clasped hands with the bone of his fan. He sneered and said calmly, "I wish Xiao Tao all her wishes come true."
