I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 280: Startling by Each Step 9 (17)

Since the couples of the Ninth Master and the Eleventh Master were almost inseparable even when visiting the Eighth Master's house, Ruoxi had never found a chance to be alone with one of them, let alone recognize each other.

Seeing that they would soon say goodbye if they didn't say anything, Ruoxi no longer cared about the Eighth Master and her sister Ruolan who were still accompanying them, as well as the Fifth Master, the Fifth Concubine, the Ninth Concubine and the Eleventh Concubine who were in the background.

She was a little drunk and seemed to be just curious like a young girl. She said that she happened to see a sentence in a medical book and didn't understand its meaning. She wanted to ask the Ninth Master and the Eleventh Master, who were quite knowledgeable about medicine, for help to solve the problem.

Ruolan was a little confused: "When did you become interested in medicine again? I haven't heard Qiaohui say that you bought any medical books recently."

Ruoxi scratched her head awkwardly, and then tried to avoid Ruolan's questioning by acting like a spoiled child: "Oh, it happened when we were still in the northwest. My father was seriously injured that time, and I was worried about his pain, so I bought a few medical books and came here to read them."

Then, without waiting for Ruolan to raise any more questions, Ruoxi quickly said the password that she thought all time travelers must know: "Odds change, but evens don't. Do Master Jiu and Master Shiyi know what the next sentence of this sentence is?"

Yinzhen and Shiyi were confused.

Is this definitely something written in a medical book?

How come they have never heard of it?

While the Ninth was still confused and cautious, the relatively naive Eleventh had already started asking questions: "I've never heard of it. Ruoxi, in which medical book did you see this sentence? What are the previous and next sentences? This sentence does sound quite fresh. Do you know what disease this prescription is for?"

Hearing Eleventh Master ask this, I knew he was definitely not a time traveler, so it must be Ninth Master.

But how should she answer these questions from the Eleventh Master?

How could she know what medical books were? Moreover, this was not in any medical books at all.

However, Ruoxi didn't care about this now. In order to further confirm that Jiu Ye was her fellow villager, she casually said something about how she had read that medical book a long time ago. Now she couldn't remember the title of the book, but only vaguely remembered this sentence to fool Eleven.

Then, Ruoxi asked Lao Jiu a few more questions with great expectation: "Heavenly King Covering Earth Tiger? Imperial Jade Liquor?"

But unfortunately, not only did Jiu Ye not give her the answer she expected, he also looked at her as if she was crazy.

"Are these also from medical books?" Yinzhen said sarcastically.

But the moment he was struggling over how to mock Ruoxi, Ruoxi concluded that he really knew all this, and he was her fellow villager!

Therefore, she turned a deaf ear to Yinzhen's sarcasm and shouted excitedly: "You know! You really know what the next sentence of this is!"

As she approached, she was about to pull Yinzhen's sleeve.

But how could Yinlang, a scholar of male virtue at level 10, allow Ruoxi, who looked like a madman at the moment, to touch the edge of his clothes?

Not only did he avoid Ruoxi's "dirty hands" with great disdain, but he also lived up to his nickname "Poison Tongue" Lao Jiu, and said to Master Ba in a sarcastic tone: "Brother Ba, didn't your sister-in-law say that she would be participating in the talent show soon? Are you going to let her participate in the talent show with this mental state? If she is sick, it's better to let her see a doctor as soon as possible. You are totally unreasonable and inexplicable!"

As a man of perfect yin and yang, Lao Jiu ignored his brother's expression and left with his wife.

Eleventh brother used the excuse that he had to go talk to Ninth brother, and this time he reacted very quickly and ran away with his wife, leaving the honest Fifth Master to deal with the aftermath of his two brothers who had no idea of ​​giving face to others.

The Fifth Master first tried to smooth things over for his Ninth Brother. After all, they and the Eighth Brother were brothers, and they would see each other every year during the holidays. They would see each other every day, so their relationship couldn't become too awkward.

After maintaining superficial peace between the two sides, the Fifth Master left with his wife, using the excuse that it was getting late and he had things to do in his house.

Everyone had left, but Ruoxi was still there, still excited.

If Ruolan and Qiaohui hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to grab Jiu Ye and find a place to talk alone.

The Eighth Master invited the two couples to a small gathering with great fanfare, not just to apologize, but he also wanted to win over the Ninth and Eleventh Masters, especially the Ninth Master.

Although the Ninth Master is no longer engaged in business in this life and cannot bring financial support to the Eighth Master, the Ninth Master's reputation is really good. He is on good terms with almost all the brothers except the eldest brother and the fourth brother, and he also has face in front of the Emperor.

The most important thing is that the medical skills of the Ninth Master and the Eleventh Master are not in vain, especially their health preservation methods. Look at their Royal Father, who is now in his fifties and is still as vigorous as ever.

Who doesn’t have some illness?

Especially the dignitaries, the more powerful the people are, the more they cherish their lives. If the ninth brother can be used by himself and treat those dignitaries who need to befriend him, then his power will definitely rise to a higher level.

It’s just a pity that his plan to win over Ruoxi, the troublesome sister-in-law, failed again.

It’s a pity for Lao Ba, but not entirely a pity.

Although he failed to improve his relationship with his ninth brother and the others, Old Eight did not gain nothing.

Whether it was when she just crossed over and pulled the young eunuch who looked similar to the contractor before she crossed over and shouted "Huang Di" in the street, or this time when she openly wanted to recognize the person she thought was a fellow villager in front of so many people, Ruoxi has never hidden her differences in her actions.

The Eighth Prince didn’t know what happened on the street before.

But what Ruoxi said at the banquet was enough to arouse people's imagination, not to mention that she was behaving so abnormally now.

If the Eighth Brother still can't see the weirdness of his sister-in-law, there's no need for him to fight for the throne.

But Lao Ba was very patient.

Ruoxi later made up an outrageous excuse, and he just thought he believed it. Then, just like in the original plot, he tried to flirt with Ruoxi, hoping that she would reveal something to him when she was confused and infatuated.

The Eighth Master is using his usual "roundabout tactics", but Yinzhen and Lingrong don't have such good patience; uh.

Although Jiu Ye adhered to the principle of "a gentleman should not stand under a wall" and was determined not to stay with a dangerous person like Ruoxi, this did not mean that he would withdraw the investigation of Ruoxi. On the contrary, because of this incident, after returning, Yinzhen asked his disciples to speed up the investigation of Ruoxi.

The new sister-in-law of Bage seemed strange no matter how he looked at her. He didn't believe that he could figure out the clues in such a short time. Bage would not be able to notice anything unusual about Maertai Ruoxi.

Knowing that there was something fishy about that Maertai Ruoxi, he still let her continue to live in his house and allowed her to walk freely in the house. Wasn't my brother afraid that that weird woman would take the life of his only son Miao Hongwang one day because of her current status as the sister of the concubine?

He is really a man of great skill and courage.

Anyway, now I am full of awe for life. In short, Yinzhen, who is keen on health preservation and overly cherishes his life, is afraid.

Although he is called Hard Candy, his life is very fragile and his body is not made of copper or iron and is not hard at all.

The hard candy who cherishes life doesn't mind his soft candy behavior in some aspects.
