160,a transaction

The deserted Taiping Medical Center suddenly became commotion.

Prince Jing was like a whirlpool, enveloping old rotten leaves and dead branches, dragging the visible and invisible rights and wrongs here. The healthy servants brought by Concubine Yun were scattered in the courtyard and watched eagerly, making the courtyard seem a bit crowded.

There was a healthy servant behind Concubine Yun, looking at this simple little courtyard with disdain: the snow had not been swept away, there was still moss in the gaps between the green bricks, a small corner was missing from the big water tank in the corner, and the bamboo leaning against the wall The broom is bald.

Only the apricot tree wrapped in red silk cloth in the courtyard is more beautiful.

A healthy servant reached out to touch the red strip of cloth on the branch, but Liang Mao'er grabbed his wrist and said in a loud voice: "Don't touch!" The healthy servant struggled to free himself several times before pulling back his arm, and whispered: "Who cares? of?!"

At this time, Wedding Cake was tilting her body and winked crazily at Chen Ji from behind Concubine Yun, signaling him to retreat quickly. However, Chen Ji did not retreat, he just held the whale knife: "Mrs. Concubine Yun, stop, you can't go in now." Concubine Yun. Looking at him expressionlessly: "Do you know what you are doing?"

Chen Ji said seriously: "Reporting to Madam, I know what I am doing. My master is giving the prince acupuncture at this time, and I can't give him any attention. This matter is related to the prince's life. I hope Madam can forgive me."

Concubine Yun sneered: "How do I know if you are trying to kill the prince? Get out of the way!" After that, she walked straight into the house as if there was no one around, ignoring the traces in front of her as if they were nothing.

Concubine Yun was much more domineering than Concubine Jing. Every time she took a step, Chen Ji had to take a step back.

Seeing that Chen Ji was about to be forced to retreat into the house, he whispered: "Madam, I have some well-intentioned advice, I wonder if you are willing to listen to it." Concubine Yun slowly stood still, only one step away from Chen Ji.

She waved the sleeves of her robe, causing Jian Pu to step back a few steps, then stared at Chen Ji and asked in a low voice, "What identity are you using to talk to me?" A medical apprentice, or a Jing Dynasty spy?

Chen Ji said: "Madam, you don't need to care about my identity. You can judge for yourself whether my advice is useful." Concubine Yun slightly raised her chin: "Tell me and listen."

After Chen Ji considered his words, he lowered his voice and said: "On the way the prince picked up the princess, he met a man with a tattoo of Buddha on his wrist. The prince didn't pay attention to it at first, but later the prince told the prince that this man had been there many times. When I look at Bai Li, the prince's face becomes ugly."

Concubine Yun remained calm: "What does this matter have to do with me? Don't just make up some nonsense to hold me back."

Chen Ji said seriously: "If this hadn't happened, I definitely wouldn't have been able to make it up. If Madam knows this person, she'd better inform him to leave Luo City as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the prince wakes up, I'm afraid the whole city will demand him. He won't be able to run away."

Concubine Yun's complexion changed slightly.

Chen Ji knew that he was right in his bet. The man indeed had a secret relationship with Concubine Yun!

But he couldn't be happy that he was right, because Concubine Yun's reaction just led his suspicion to the worst result, which was a truth that the princess was unwilling to bear. Concubine Yun frowned slightly: "How did I know you were doing this? Are those words true or false?"

Chen Ji said calmly: "If Madam doesn't believe it, you can ask the prince or the prince." Concubine Yun remained expressionless and silent. The next moment, she threw up her sleeves and turned to leave.

After taking two steps away, Concubine Yun suddenly turned back and asked, "How is your prince's health?"

Chen Ji thought for a while and said, "My master just told Concubine Jing that the prince has at most three months left."

At this moment, there was a dense sound of footsteps outside Taiping Medical Center, and the sound of armor scraping was so loud that it made people's scalp numb. In front of the gate and outside the back wall, they were surrounded by the royal guards.

Chen Ji stood on the steps of the main room and looked up. He saw Feng Daban, dressed in commoners, walking towards him with great strides. Even when he walked in front of Chen Ji, he didn't mean to stop. Feng Daban was the person placed by the Chief of Ceremonies next to Prince Jing.

He led troops to surround the Taiping Medical Center and forced his way in. He was completely unable to judge the purpose of his visit.

In an instant, Chen Ji raised the whale knife and swung it towards Feng Daban. It was not until this moment that Feng Daban finally stopped and calmly avoided the blade by a hair's breadth. When the blade passed in front of Feng Daban, he saw him carelessly touching the blade.

With a flick of the finger on the side, there was a buzzing sound, and the whale knife trembled violently.

Chen Ji's mouth was numb, and he took a step back with a serious expression. Feng Daban smiled and praised: "It didn't break, what a great knife!" Chen Ji grasped the handle of the knife again and held the whale knife horizontally in front of him.

Seeing that he still refused to move away, Feng Daban said with a soft smile: "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but when they grow horns they are afraid of people. Young man, you are a little ignorant." Chen Ji said calmly: "It has nothing to do with severity."

Feng Daban smiled indifferently and continued to walk towards the main room. The atmosphere between the two was like a taut string that could break at any time.

Yu Dengke and Liu Quxing stood up nervously and involuntarily. Liang Maoer also quickly moved closer to Chen Ji, but it was already too late.

When Feng Daban came to Chen Ji, he gently raised his right hand and pressed it towards Chen Ji with a fluttering palm. His movements were obviously very slow, but Chen Ji had the illusion that a tsunami was coming. He couldn't avoid it!

Just when this palm was about to press on Chen Ji's door, Prince Jing's weak voice came from inside the room: "Is Feng Daban here? Come in." Feng Daban's palm suddenly stopped in front of Chen Ji.

The wind brought by this palm suddenly blew the traces of hair back, and even the door curtain behind him was blown open, causing the oil lamp in the house to sway. Feng Daban took back his palm and asked with a smile: "Young man, the prince has spoken.

Come on, why don’t you back away?”

Chen Ji put down the whale knife and slowly stepped aside with an expressionless expression.

Feng Daban took a deep look at him, then opened one side of the door curtain, lowered his head and walked in: "Your Majesty, you are feeling better..." As the door curtain was lowered, the sounds in the room were isolated.

Chen Ji leaned against the window and tried to eavesdrop on the conversation inside, but found that nothing could be heard. It seemed that both Feng Daban and Prince Jing had lowered their voices. He returned his eyes to the courtyard and watched Concubine Yun's back as she hurriedly left the hospital.

, then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Yu Dengke and others hurriedly gathered around: "Are you okay?" Chen Ji shook his head: "It's okay."

He sat on the short stone steps in front of the main house and sighed, "What's the matter?"

Yu Dengke hesitated for a moment: "Chen Ji, where did you get this knife? And when you lifted the knife just now, you looked very powerful, even more powerful than the men from the Cao Gang on the Dongshi Pier..."

Chen Ji thought for a while and said, "Brothers, let's go and rest first. If anything happens, we'll explain it tomorrow... If nothing happens, don't go near Master's room yet." After that, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into sleep.

...

I don't know how much time passed, but someone opened the door curtain of the main room.

Chen Ji suddenly opened his eyes and saw Feng Daban leaving in a hurry with his head lowered.

The expert placed in the palace by the Chief of Ceremonies did not take another look at Chen Ji, while the guards of the palace remained motionless outside the medical center like iron barrels. Not even a bird could fly in the current Taiping Medical Center.

Prince Jing called from inside the house: "Young man, come in." Chen Ji walked into the house and asked, "Why did the prince call me?"

Prince Jing sat by the bed and pulled out the silver needles from his body again. He said angrily: "Next time, don't say that your master is giving me acupuncture. Otherwise, if you lie once, I will be pricked once. I'm fine." I’m also suffering from an illness.”

Chen Ji also lost some respect and said angrily: "Your Majesty, if I don't make this excuse, what else can I make? If you don't run around, why would I need to tell this lie?" Prince Jing smiled and reassured: "Okay. Okay, I just asked you to guard the door, why are you so angry? Is there any food in the kitchen? Go and help me fill a bowl."

Chen Ji sighed with emotion: "You really don't treat yourself as an outsider. There is no food in the kitchen. If you want to eat, I will cook it now. It will take about three quarters of an hour." Prince Jing regretted: "It's too long."

As he said that, he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Chen Ji carefully: "Young man, how about you and I making a deal?" Chen Ji quickly said: "No!"

Prince Jing became interested: "Why? There are so many people in this world who want to do business with me, why do you avoid them like snakes and scorpions?"

Chen Ji explained: "Your status is valuable, and I can't handle anything that has anything to do with you. You'd better hire someone else. I think my master is good." Old Yao glared at him: "You'd rather give it to me." I'm looking for trouble!"

Prince Jing smiled and said, "I want to go out to do something anonymously these days, but I don't have a trustworthy guard around me. How about this, every time you go out with me, I will give you fifty taels of silver."

Chen Ji leaned against the door and said, "I won't go. It's too dangerous to be your guard. I want to live to be over ninety like Master." Old Yao stroked his beard and said, "According to your personality, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. .”

Chen Ji was suspicious: "Are you trying to figure it out for me or are you trying to scare me?"

Old Man Yao said slowly: "I can't predict your affairs now. I did a fortune-telling a few days ago, and I predicted that you would be deceived when you were more than 900 years old." Prince Jing touched his chin: "Drink until you are fake." Meng Po is in soup?"

Chen Ji couldn't laugh or cry: "You are too inaccurate."

Prince Jing looked at him and said, "You two, master and disciple, please don't get into trouble. Back to this deal, you will be my guard. If an official wants to kill me, I promise you won't take action. How about that?"

Chen Ji suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, why me?"

Prince Jing also sighed: "Yes, why you."

Chen Ji was suspicious: "Huh?"

He always felt that there was something in Prince Jing's words.

Prince Jing smiled and spread his hands: "Young man, there is no one else around me that I can trust. Just agree to it. If something happens to me, Bai Li and Yun Xi will lose their father. Your annual dividend of 2,500 taels will be terrible." There is no whereabouts either.”

Chen Ji narrowed his eyes: "How can I go back on the promised dividends? Are you threatening me?"

Prince Jing laughed happily and said, "Yes, I'm threatening you."

Chen Ji was helpless: "Why is the powerful vassal king so rogue?"

Prince Jing said meaningfully: "Otherwise, how do you think I became the powerful vassal king?"

Chen Ji stood up and said, "I can serve as your bodyguard for the time being, but I have agreed in advance that if someone takes action, I will turn around and run away as soon as possible." Wang Wang

"Don't worry." Prince Jing pulled away the bed and walked towards the tunnel.

Chen Ji was startled: "Leave now?"
