Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Chapter 144 Vine Fruit

Bai Zhi turned back stiffly and looked at Chu Yunchuan. Chu Yunchuan explained considerately: "This is the guard I brought with me."

There was a sudden knock on the courtyard door, and a maid came in with a tray: "Your Highness, the medicine is here... Miss Zhi! You're awake! That's great!"

Chu Yunchuan ordered: "Ask the kitchen to bring two vine fruits."

"Yes, Your Highness." The maid placed the tray on the stone table next to her and ran out with a happy face, "I will report the good news to the master later!"

The maid came and went like the wind, and Bai Zhi's brain didn't keep up at all. She stood still for a moment like a stone and asked silently: "...What did she call you?"

Chu Yunchuan: "I did tell her that it's okay to continue calling me aunt, but she didn't want to, saying that it was against etiquette."

"..." Bai Zhi's mouth trembled twice, "Who asked you this? Have you revealed your identity?"

Chu Yunchuan said calmly, "Yes. With Prince Jing in charge of the Lin Mansion, he can always scare away some villains, so that the family will be safer."

"So, that means..."

"Yes." Chu Yunchuan continued, "That is to say, everyone in Qing County knows that Yunchuan, the waiter at Wenxianglou, is the real King Jing."

Bai Zhi took a breath and looked at the guards who were standing very straight with a complicated expression.

She suddenly didn't want to go out for some fresh air.

She never thought that the neighbors in Qing County would one day know Chu Yunchuan's true identity.

"Ahem." Bai Zhi wiped her face vigorously and pretended to be calm, "Then Qiaoqiao and Chuqi also know, right? Where are they?"

"Qiaoqiao is in Gongcao, and Chuqi is in Xueshu."

"Why are they still hanging around outside? The assassin hasn't been caught yet. It's hard to say whether it's safe or not... No, we have to call them back."

"Don't worry." Chu Yunchuan took Bai Zhi's hand and took her to sit on the stone bench. He touched the still warm medicine bowl on the tray and pushed it in front of Bai Zhi. "I forgot to tell you just now that the assassin has been caught and is being held in the dungeon of the county government."

"Caught? So quickly?"

Chu Yunchuan did not answer, but urged: "Drink the medicine first, it will be cold soon."

"Oh." Bai Zhi picked up the medicine bowl and the moment she brought it to her lips, the smell of rotten slop that had been held for ten days rushed into her nose.

Fortunately, there is no food in my stomach, otherwise I would have vomited everything.

Bai Zhi quickly knocked the medicine bowl back onto the table and pushed it in front of Chu Yunchuan, her face full of resistance: "Isn't this viscera juice an old friend? It smells even worse after not seeing it for a few years... Can I drink something else?"

As luck would have it, the cook brought in a plate of vine fruit.

"Can the vine fruit withstand this stuff?" Bai Zhi rolled her eyes. "Look, I'm wearing Red Mu Yang. This small bowl of medicine soup is nothing compared to Red Mu Yang. Why should I drink it?"

"One for external use and one for internal use, they complement each other and will save you from the root of the disease." Chu Yunchuan coaxed a child, "If you don't take the medicine, your recovery will be too slow. At the end of the year, when the table is full of delicious food and drinks, you won't be able to eat anything."

Bai Zhi: "..."

That's a bit troublesome indeed...

Her stomach growled appropriately, and Bai Zhi bargained, "Then I'll eat first, then take the medicine."

Chu Yunchuan shook his head reluctantly: "Zhiheng said that your spleen and stomach are weak after sleeping for a long time. You should take the medicine first, and then you can drink some porridge after half an hour."

"..." This medicine had to be taken whether she wanted to or not. Bai Zhi had no choice but to pick up the medicine bowl with a fearless attitude, pinched her nose and tilted her head back to drink it, then quickly held a vine fruit in her mouth and chewed it.

vomit……

There is indeed a reason why ripe vine fruits can only be used to make wine, Bai Zhi thought with a distorted face, how could she think that vine fruits could not stand up to this bowl of offal juice? She really looked down on vine fruits.

For the first time in her life, she experienced what it felt like to be so sweet that it hurt.

Bai Zhi's tongue seemed to have been beaten by the vine fruit. She closed her mouth tightly, chewed it twice as if going through the motions, and then swallowed the vine fruit whole.

It is too sweet……

Bai Zhi was so sweet that she was speechless. She gestured randomly, wanting Chu Yunchuan to pour her a cup of tea to relieve the sweetness.

Not knowing what was wrong with the gesture she made, the next moment, Chu Yunchuan leaned over the stone table, grabbed the back of Bai Zhi's head with one hand, and kissed Bai Zhi's lips like a tiger pouncing on its prey.

A row of guards lowered their heads in unison.

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, then she grabbed Chu Yunchuan's collar, pried open his teeth, slid in, and frantically searched for his tongue.

Anything that can relieve the sweetness is fine, I’m not picky.

Poor Prince Jing, he was treated as human tea by the shopkeeper Bai. As their lips and tongues intertwined, the sweet juice of the vine fruit smeared from the root of Chu Yunchuan's tongue to his teeth. It was not until he felt that the sweetness in his mouth was no longer so sweet that Bai Zhi let go of him with a heavy breath and grinned: "Is it sweet, Prince?"

She had been expecting to see Chu Yunchuan frowning in embarrassment, but Chu Yunchuan seemed to be unsatisfied. He slowly slid his tongue across her lips, and looked at her with slightly narrowed eyes and a smile. The tips of his ears were already red.

These bright peach blossom eyes, no matter when and where, can stretch out countless invisible silk threads to wrap around Bai Zhi from head to toe.

Bai Zhi swallowed her saliva, and her whole body began to feel numb and itchy.

What's the old saying? A little absence makes the heart grow fonder.

If she hadn't been injured...

"..." Bai Zhi suddenly frowned and cursed, "This damn assassin... Oh, by the way, didn't you say you caught this assassin? How did you catch him?"

Chu Yunchuan was caught off guard by Bai Zhi's sudden change of expression. He blinked and said, "Thanks to my aunt's prompt decision to spread the false news that she was seriously injured, the assassin took the bait."

"Has it been interrogated?"

"not yet."

Bai Zhi nodded and said, "That's right. It's hard to interrogate someone who has just been arrested so quickly."

"It was me..." Chu Yunchuan unconsciously sat up straight, "I injured the assassin too badly. The assassin is now in a coma and has not woken up yet."

Injured the assassin? In fact, the assassin might be almost dead. Bai Zhi couldn't help laughing when she saw Chu Yunchuan's guilty look. This agitated her unhealed wound, so she laughed out loud.

Chu Yunchuan was frightened by her and quickly told her not to move.

Just at this moment, the door of the courtyard was knocked again, and a personal guard came in to report that the assassin who was caught the night before had woken up and was being interrogated by Lord Lin.

Chu Yunchuan nodded: "I understand, you can go down."

"Yes."

The interrogation of a serious criminal who might be related to the safety of the Thirteen States, logically speaking, Prince Jing should at least go and take a look, but - Bai Zhi glanced at Chu Yunchuan who was still sitting idly pouring tea, he had no intention of going at all.

"It contains codonopsis, astragalus and longan. Drink more."

Bai Zhi stared at the teapot for a long while: "There's tea in it?"

Chu Yunchuan was a little confused by the question: "What's wrong?"

"Then you just..."

"?"

"It's okay." Bai Zhi shook her head while suppressing her smile. "Aren't you going to interrogate the assassin?"
