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

Chapter 137 The more you owe, the better

"If you don't come back to the capital with me, how do you know if my words will count?"

Chu Huanjun probably saw that Tao Yao had really thought about returning to Beijing with him for a moment, so he quickly climbed up the pole.

Tao Yao's dark eyes rolled around in their sockets. She made a face at Chu Huanjun and said, "Nonsense! I won't talk to you anymore. I need to go see how Lu Che is doing."

After saying that, Tao Yao bent her body like a nimble carp and slid out of Chu Huanjun's arms.

When Chu Huanjun came to his senses and was about to reach out to grab Tao Yao, she had already picked up her shoes and ran out the door at lightning speed.

Went to find that "messy guy with unknown origins" Lu Che.

Chu Huanjun's outstretched hands fell upon nothing. There was still some warmth in them from the tight embrace he had just had with Tao Yao, but now there was only a cold wind passing through his fingers and palms, lowering the remaining temperature to freezing point.

Chu Huanjun suddenly felt that the weather in March was not that warm. It was all his fault that he cared more about style than warmth, and only wore a thin spring shirt to please women.

It's a pity that not only did he fail to win the woman's favor, but his face and sincerity were also casually thrown into the corner and shattered into pieces.

Just now he was so confident that he could hold her tightly, but now she comes and goes freely like a gust of wind, leaving whenever she wants, without taking him seriously at all?

She would take the initiative to seduce him into revealing his true feelings, and then escape without any reason after succeeding. This was the trick Tao Yao was best at and used most often.

Chu Huanjun should have learned his lesson long ago, but he still couldn't help falling into Tao Yao's hands again and again.

Forget it, let her be like this. She owes him this, and the more she owes, the better.

As Chu Huanjun thought about this, he picked up the porcelain bowl that had just contained the medicine and walked towards the pharmacy.

Although he still had a cold expression on his face, he actually went to serve Tao Yao the medicine soup.

That's what he wanted, to be good to her, so good that she no longer had the strength to resist him, so good that she couldn't find another person in the world who could treat her as well as Chu Huanjun.

Although Tao Yao had stayed in Cheng Tianshui's clinic for a while before, this was the first time she came to the backyard.

Unexpectedly, there is a hidden world behind Cheng Tianshui's small clinic. Although the yard is not big, all kinds of plants and flowers are planted on all sides according to the owner's wishes. In addition to some medicinal herbs that are often used in daily prescriptions, there is also a small square field specially opened up. There are no special crops planted in the field, only clumps of plants with thin roots and stems that look like weeds.

Only when you look closer can you see that these wild grasses are actually blooming with small white flowers the size of fingernails. When the wind blows, those tiny white flowers tremble on the top of the thin rhizomes.

If the wind was stronger, the flowers would be blown away by the wind and scattered in the soil - because the flowers are so small that once they are blown away, they will disappear without a trace and cannot be found.

Tao Yao was still looking at the flowers and plants when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears. It was Cheng Tianshui.

"Are they beautiful? You came at the right time. It's the season and they are blooming."

Cheng Tianshui also stood beside Tao Yao, bent over to look at the flowers, and couldn't help but let out a barely audible sigh, and said, "If you come any later, you won't be able to see them."

Tao Yao was confused and said, "Aren't flowers and plants like this everywhere? When the weather gets warmer, perhaps Qingshui Town will be full of flowers and plants like this. How can we not see them?"

Cheng Tianshui glanced at Tao Yao, shook his head, and said, "You don't know what's good. This is no ordinary wild flower or weed. I brought it back from the desert of the Western Regions. It's called Jade Liquid Grass. It blooms in spring and bears fruit in winter, never withering year-round. Its fruit has no flesh. When you crack the shell, only thick pulp flows out. The pulp is pure white and delicate, like beautiful jade, so it's called Jade Liquid Grass."

"Jade Liquid Grass?" Tao Yao repeated the names of the flowers and plants and asked, "Is this Jade Liquid Grass a rare medicinal herb?"

Cheng Tianshui squatted down and reached out his hand among the flowers and grass, as if caressing some rare treasure. His palm gently brushed the slender stems and leaves of the Jade Liquid Grass, and he said with a sigh, "It's not a rare medicinal herb, not even a medicinal herb. This Jade Liquid Grass has no medicinal value, but it's not inedible... If I eat it, it's just for the novelty. Its fruit juice has no taste, and there's not much juice in each fruit. It's gone before I can even react after putting it in my mouth... It's tasteless, but it's a pity to throw it away."

Tao Yao was puzzled and asked, "Since this Jade Liquid Grass has no medicinal value and doesn't taste very good, why did you set aside this small piece of land to grow it?"

Cheng Tianshui was silent for a while, then whispered, "It's just to commemorate an old friend."

His voice was so low and soft that it was almost lost in the roar of the wind. Tao Yao almost didn't hear it.

Cheng Tianshui waved his hand and said, "I'm glad you're awake. You look like you're looking for that guy named Lu, right? I'll take you there."

Tao Yao saw that Cheng Tianshui looked a little sad, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Tao Yao followed Cheng Tianshui, walked around the winding path in the backyard, went up the small wooden stairs to the attic, and came to the guest room in the front yard.

The small door of the room was ajar. Song Zhishou was standing on the terrace outside the door, reading something with a notebook in his hand. Seeing Tao Yao and Cheng Tianshui coming, he hurried forward, clasped his fists, and bowed, saying politely, "Second Miss Shi, are you feeling better now? The prince..."

"The prince is very worried about you." Before Song Zhishou could finish the second half of the sentence, Tao Yao interrupted him.

"Lord Song, there is no need to worry about me. Lu Che's injury is much more serious than mine. How is he now?" Tao Yao was anxious to go in, but was blocked by Song Zhishou's arm at the door.

"Hey... Miss Shi, Master Lu just applied the medicine and hasn't put on his clothes yet. There are differences between men and women. Miss Shi, please come back to see him later..."

As soon as Song Zhishou finished speaking, Cheng Tianshui's face showed suspicion. He stroked the long silver beard on his chin and said, "What's the difference between men and women? She and that kid surnamed Lu are already engaged, aren't they going to be married soon? What else can we do?"

Song Zhishou's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Who is going to get married soon?"

At this time, Chu Huanjun came up to the attic with a bowl of medicine, his face ashen.
