After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Seeing that Chu Qibai insisted, Rong Qingzhu stopped trying to persuade him and turned to go find the imperial physician to ask for medicine.

"The wound on your neck was caused by helping me knock away the arrow. No matter what, I will never sit idly by." Rong Qingzhu knew that Chu Qibai didn't care about the wound.

But he couldn't help but care.

If Chu Qibai had not discovered the arrow in time and knocked it down with his sword during the chaos just now, he would probably not be able to stand here and talk safely.

Chu Xi saw Rong Qingzhu open the medicine bottle and stare at her neck hesitantly. His motionless movements made her unconsciously worry for him.

"I'll do it myself..." Before his hand touched the medicine bottle, Rong Qingzhu dodged Chu Xi's hand.

"Let me do it. You can't see the wound, so it's difficult to apply medicine." Rong Qingzhu felt full of guilt.

A scholar is good for nothing. Today, this is the second time he has experienced this.

The last time was when we were in Qingfeng Mountain. It was because of Chu Qibai that he was able to escape death both times. He didn't say it, but he remembered these two life-saving graces firmly in his heart.

Chu Xi thought about it, felt that it made sense, and did not insist.

Rong Qingzhu felt that although he and Chu Qibai were both men, touching each other's necks was too intimate, so he said something very particular.

"Offended."

After saying that, he slowly applied the powder on his finger and applied it to the wound on Chu Xi's neck.

In fact, the wound was not really deep, it just scraped off two layers of skin, but it was on the neck after all, and the location was dangerous, so it had to be treated with medicine.

Chu Xi, "......"

There's nothing particularly bad about a gentleman's character, he's just a little too rule-bound.

Applying medicine should have been a normal thing to do, but when Zhou Qingmin got off the carriage and saw this scene, he subconsciously shouted loudly, "Qi Bai."

Chu Xi nodded. Ever since Zhou Qingmin came, he called her many times. She had gotten used to it and didn't think it was a big deal.

Rong Qingzhu vaguely felt that the Ninth Princess looked at him with a somewhat strange and defensive look. Lord Rong, who was well-read and had no idea what love was, had a bewildered look on his face.

"Qibai, are you hurt?" Zhou Qingmin exclaimed, her eyes fixed on Chu Xi's neck. If there weren't other people around, she would probably have taken action.

"I'm fine." Chu Xi didn't want to be cared for under the eyes of so many people, and he didn't want the news to spread back to the capital and become a royal consort.

Zhou Qingmin was unhappy. He looked at Chu Xi and Rong Qingzhu sullenly, then walked away angrily.

Rong Qingzhu quietly capped the medicine bottle, not knowing what to say. The princess was angry, it seemed... or was she angry at him and Chu Qibai?

Tang Yuhuai came here in this strange atmosphere. He seemed to see everything, but also seemed to see nothing. He just walked over on his own.

"There were three different groups of people, dozens of assassins. These people really didn't give up, they just wanted to kill people to silence them."

After all, Tang Yuhuai was a military general and had killed dozens if not hundreds of people. He wouldn't be sad about killing people.

But humans are not killing tools after all, and this kind of repetitive killing is quite tiring.

"If we don't kill them to silence them, and if we wait until we return to the capital and hand these people over to the Ministry of Justice and then present their testimony to His Majesty, it will be too late to take action." Chu Xi said calmly.

Even if His Majesty is incompetent and still favors treacherous ministers, he must deal with this matter unless he really intends to bear the infamy of the world.

"Those officials who live a life of drunkenness and debauchery in the capital should be allowed to see the situation in Yunzhou City. Their peace and tranquility are built on the suffering and lives of others."

“You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. Instead, they will blame you for waking them up.” As an orphan, Chu Xi has seen the dark side of the world, as well as kind-hearted people.

However, in a hereditary system, many voices cannot reach the top, and even if they do, no one will care.

In troubled times, the least valuable thing is human life.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these things."

"Qi Bai, you used the flying sword move very well before. When we return to Beijing this time, will there be a chance for us to learn from each other?" Tang Yuhuai was really obsessed with martial arts.

When it comes to martial arts, he has always wanted to reach the top, but there are not many people in Beijing who can compete with him.

Before this, he and the Prince of Chu knew each other but had little interaction and had never really fought each other.

Chu Xi chuckled, "Master Tang, there's no need for that. I'm definitely not your opponent."

Tang Yuhuai patted Chu Xi's shoulder with his hand, his eyebrows flying, "Qi Bai, it's meaningless for you to say that. Your martial arts are inherited from your grandfather, who was an old marquis who fought the world with the emperor, so his martial arts are beyond doubt."

Chu Xi, "Master Tang, how can I be compared with my grandfather?"

Well, if you don’t want to agree to something, just belittle yourself.

"Let's not talk about the competition for now, let's talk about what you plan to do when you return to the capital this time?" Although Tang Yuhuai is the Lieutenant General of the Jinwu Guard, he has a really eccentric personality. His calmness during the battle and his superb martial arts skills are like two different people.

"Sleep." Chu Xi gave the most simple and sincere answer.

"Tsk, there are always other things we can do after sleeping, right?" Tang Yuhuai seemed to think that Chu Xi was not sincere enough, and deliberately bumped her with his shoulder.

Chu Xi, holding a sword in his hand and leaning against a tree trunk, was almost knocked to the ground by Tang Yuhuai's sudden... showoff.

Chu Xi stood up straight silently, "What else?"

"I'll take you to broaden your horizons. Prince Chu must have not seen some new things yet, right?" Tang Yuhuai smiled a little bit naughty.

Rong Qingzhu was also confused, "?"

"You have heard of Ningxiang Tower, right? There is a beautiful lady in Ningxiang Tower who plays the pipa very well. I guarantee you will be satisfied with her." Tang Yuhuai raised his eyebrows, his smiling eyes were clear and flamboyant.

Rong Qingzhu and Chu Xi looked at each other and suddenly remembered the rumors in the capital, one of which was about Tang Yuhuai being crazy about the geisha in Ningxiang Tower.

The two had not taken this matter seriously before. Firstly, they did not care about other people's right or wrong, and secondly, they thought that the rumor might be exaggerated.

"Ningxiang Tower, beauty?" Chu Xi was a little curious about the geishas of this era. That kind of mentality was that when he arrived in a new environment, he wanted to see everything.

"There are only two things in the world that cannot be betrayed: good wine and beautiful women. Qibai and Qingzhu must have never been there, right?" Tang Yuhuai had the self-willed attitude of a young man who was proud of himself.

"Oh, then Lord Tang must have visited here many times." Chu Xi silently set a trap for Tang Yuhuai.

Tang Yuhuai coughed and said, "I can't say I go there often, I just go there occasionally to listen to some music."

Chu Xi glanced sideways and smiled unconsciously at Rong Qingzhu, "Master Rong, have you ever been to Ningxiang Tower?"

Rong Qingzhu coughed, almost choking on Chu Xi's blunt words, and her ears turned red. "No."

His performance was almost as bad as saying it directly, which was disrespectful.
