Chapter 235 I Don’t Want Him Anymore
Chu Ci's complexion gradually improved, and it was just no longer pale, but he still looked like he was seriously ill and was about to return to his hometown.
The eldest brother was very angry, but there was nothing he could do. He could only turn his horse around and gallop towards the palace.
During the days of traveling, Chu Ci never woke up again.
When they arrived at the palace, the eldest brother directly hugged Chu Ci and walked to the emperor's study.
The Emperor stood up abruptly when he saw Chu Ci in the arms of the eldest brother. He didn't even dare to ask, had he really killed the child? Were they here to seek revenge on him?
Thinking of this possibility, the emperor fell on the dragon throne, looking at Chu Ci's body with panic in his eyes.
Old Man Tianji looked at the emperor and knew what he was thinking. He deliberately did not tell the truth so that the emperor would remember it well.
It's his family's empire, but why is it always his own little girl who gets hurt? He can't vent his anger if he doesn't charge some interest!
The eldest brother looked at the little girl in his arms worriedly, not knowing when she would wake up.
Just when the emperor was about to ask something, Chu Ci suddenly opened his eyes.
She looked around until she saw the emperor in a famous prince's dragon robe not far away. Then she patted her eldest brother's arm and said, "Put me down."
The eldest brother was still dissatisfied with the royal family, and he was unable to vent his anger on the emperor.
Feeling the movements of the person in his arms, the eldest brother looked at Chu Ci in surprise, "Girl, are you awake?"
Chu Ci nodded with difficulty, "Put me down."
The eldest brother slowly placed Chu Ci on the chair and supported her until she could stand firmly on her own, not forgetting to straighten her skirt.
Chu Ci took a step forward, walked in front of the emperor, took out the imperial edict from his bosom, and placed it in front of the emperor, "Please stamp it, Your Majesty."
The eldest brother looked at the master beside him in confusion, "Master, what's wrong with this girl?"
Elder Tianji shook his head and said, "It's alright, she'll do everything, and I'll cover everything."
The emperor knew that the words of Tianji old man were meant to warn him.
He took the imperial edict and opened it bit by bit. There were not many words in it, but the general idea was to cancel the engagement with Prince Rui.
The emperor looked at Chu Ci reluctantly, "Chaoyang, have you made up your mind? Do you still remember what I said?"
Chu Ci nodded indifferently, the corners of her mouth slightly raised in frustration, "Your Majesty, Chaoyang has made up his mind. Prince Rui is a man of great beauty, and we are not suitable. It is better for us to separate."
This time, old man Tianji was not happy with this. He wanted to cancel the engagement if he wanted. Why should he belittle himself? It was not their girl’s problem.
He walked to Chu Ci's side, stood straight, and looked at the emperor, "My girl is here to cancel the engagement. Your boy is not worthy of her. The girl doesn't want him anymore."
Old Man Tianji specifically stated the last sentence, which was that Chu Ci no longer wanted King Rui!
Chu Ci looked at the serious look on Old Man Tianji's face and laughed out loud, "Yes, I don't want him anymore."
As Chu Ci spoke, tears began to fall from the corners of her eyes. After going around in circles for so long, in the end, the only ones who stayed with her were her master and senior brother.
Chu Ci looked at them with a happy face, and when she last saw the emperor, she had calmed down.
Seeing this scene, the emperor knew that Chu Ci had made up his mind, so he could only nod and say, "Okay, I'll stamp it first. But, as always, if you regret it one day, come to me and I can take this imperial edict back."
Chu Ci smiled bitterly, "I won't regret it. There is no relationship between us anymore."
After saying that, Chu Ci took the imperial edict with the emperor's seal, put it away, and walked towards the eldest brother, "I want to go back to the courtyard first. You and Master should go and deal with the things outside. I will pack my things and tell my mother and brother, and then we can leave."
The eldest brother didn't know if Chu Ci could hold on until then, so he looked at the master next to him asking.
Old Man Tianji nodded helplessly, "Okay, go ahead, but not for long."
The eldest brother placed Chu Ci at the gate of Chu Ci's yard and followed the master to purchase some medicinal herbs. Huichuntang also had to be dealt with, otherwise if King Rui came back and caught him by surprise, he would use this to force the girl out and it would be difficult to save her.
The eldest brother went to Huichuntang and first announced its closure, then informed the man to transport all the medicinal materials away, and then arranged everyone in other stores, but not in the same city. Huichuntang was closed down.
Even Tianxianglou closed down because of this incident.
Chu Ci returned to his own yard and first went to his eldest brother's yard. He heard the sound of his brother Lang Lang reading from afar.
Chu Ci smiled with satisfaction. The Chu family also needed someone to take over the helm, so he handed this matter over to his eldest brother. How high the Chu family could develop in the future would depend on Chu Zhen.
Chu Ci walked into Chu Zhen's room and stood in front of Chu Zhen, "Brother, I'm here."
The first time Chu Zhen saw Chu Ci, a smile crept onto his face and never disappeared. "Xiao Ci, why are you here?"
He looked at the chair next to him and motioned Chu Ci to sit next to him.
Chu Ci sat down and looked at Chu Zhen with some embarrassment. Finally, he explained, "Brother, I'm not feeling well right now. I may not be able to stay here anymore. I have to go back to Tianji Pavilion."
Chu Zhen looked at Chu Ci worriedly, holding Chu Ci's hands anxiously with both hands, "What's wrong? Are you injured?"
Chu Ci pulled his hand away and shook his head. "I'm not injured. It's just that my health has been poor for so many years. Now I can't hold on any longer."
"The box I gave you is something I left for you. You must protect yourself well in the next period of time."
After Chu Ci finished speaking, he stood up, turned around and left.
Chu Zhen chased out and stood by the door, looking at Chu Ci's back reluctantly. He wanted to reach out to stop her, but thinking of his identity, Chu Zhen pulled his hand back.
Chu Ci returned to his own yard, packed up all the things that King Rui had given him, and found a box to put them in.
She took out the token from her sleeve again, turned it over and over in her hand several times, and then reluctantly put it in.
Finally, Chu Ci took out the string of beads from his arms. Although it was all broken, Chu Ci still held it in his hand, looked at it reluctantly for a long time, and finally put it in the box.
Also placed in the box was the imperial edict she wrote herself to cancel the engagement.
Chu Ci closed the box and kept stroking it for a long time before he carried the box to the nearby Prince Rui's Mansion.
Arriving at Prince Rui's mansion, Chu Ci handed the box directly to the butler and said, "Just give it to Prince Rui when he comes back."
