Chapter 108 Why should a grown man be ashamed?
Jiang Zhenyao had always thought that she only admired Chu Qibai's views and martial arts, but after hearing these words, she suddenly felt that such an insightful person... was really too dazzling. With his presence, how could she ignore the scorching sun?
"it is good."
She agreed, and turned to the captain who came with her and gave specific instructions, asking them to bury all these people outside the city.
Leaving the corpses exposed in the wilderness would certainly allow Chu Qibai to vent his anger, but after all, they were not the real culprits. Even if he really threw their bodies around randomly, how much of his hatred would it relieve?
It must be said that because of Chu Qibai's words, Jiang Zhenyao understood him better than before, so much so that she was surprised. Chu Qibai was insightful and open-minded. He did not have the inherent views of men of this era towards women, and was considerate.
Well, he is worthy of being the one she has chosen.
Chu Xi put away his sword and thanked Jiang Zhenyao earnestly, "I will remember what happened today. If you or the Jiang family need me for anything in the future, I will do my best to help you as long as I can."
Jiang Zhenyao originally wanted to make a joke, telling him that he could repay her now as long as he agreed to marry her, but when she looked into Chu Qibai's eyes and saw the seriousness in them, she suddenly became speechless.
"This matter is under the jurisdiction of my uncle. He will help even if you don't ask." After she said this, she was surprised that not only did she not "take advantage of the situation", but she even pretended to be generous!
She was regretting so much that her intestines were turning green. The Seventh Prince's mother, her aunt, was now pressing her step by step, with the knife on her neck, trying to force her to marry the Seventh Prince.
At this time, I finally found a comrade-in-arms who was suitable for marriage and living together, but I still pretended to be generous. I was really... out of my mind.
"Nothing is natural. I will remember your kindness in helping me." Chu Xi was not just saying nice things. She knew that once Jiang Zhenyao's uncle submitted the memorial.
In the eyes of the Seventh Prince and Concubine Wei, this incident was nothing short of a stab in the back and a huge betrayal.
I am afraid that after returning to Beijing, even if the imperial concubine does not dare to openly criticize Jiang Zhenyao because of the Duke of Weiguo's face, her opinion will be buried in her heart.
This may not seem to pose any threat to the Duke of Weiguo for the time being, but once the seventh prince succeeds in taking the throne in the future, it will become the biggest problem for the Jiang family.
Chu Xi seems to have the script in hand, but even so he is not sure that everything will develop like the novel, and Zhou Yichen will succeed in taking the top spot!
Not to mention being in the game and always remaining neutral.
In fact, Chu Xi has always been puzzled as to how Jiang Zhenyao convinced Duke Weiguo and her uncle to agree to help her.
But it was obviously not convenient to ask these questions at the moment, so she could only suppress her curiosity for the time being.
Jiang Zhenyao was about to speak when she saw Chu Qibai beside her move first, and he walked towards Chu Er.
She was not shy and followed Chu Qibai leisurely, going with him to check on Chu Er's injuries.
As they walked, he asked, "In fact, I have always found it very strange. With your status and insight, even if you don't participate in this fight for the throne, it is enough for you to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
Even though the current Marquis of the Loyal and Brave Marquisate, Chu Qibai's father, is indeed mediocre in talent and learning, but as long as the old Marquis is still alive, the world will never forget the former glory of the Marquisate.
Moreover, judging from the contact during this period, Jiang Zhenyao did not think that Chu Qibai was the kind of person who wanted to profit from the fight for the throne. He would probably prefer to stay away from the court and live a quiet life.
In this case, Jiang Zhenyao really couldn't think of any other reason that could make Chu Qibai so desperate and willing to bet the Marquis' Mansion on Zhou Yichen!
Even her father did not dare to take sides easily just because his sister was a royal concubine and the Seventh Prince was his nephew. So, what kind of reason could make Chu Qibai so selfless?
"For fame or profit, any one of them is fine." Chu Xi had no intention of delving into this issue with Jiang Zhenyao, and she naturally could not tell the real reason.
As for the original owner's reasons, it was certainly not to follow Zhou Yichen blindly. She was just familiar with Zhou Yichen and understood his talents and character, so she trusted him so much!
Jiang Zhenyao noticed that Chu Qibai said this in a nonchalant tone. It didn't seem like an answer, but more like a casual perfunctory response. This made her more certain of her guess, so she shook her head and said with certainty.
"you will not."
Chu Xi paused and glanced at Jiang Zhenyao beside him with his clear and clean eyes. The silver armor fit her perfectly, as if it was tailor-made for her.
As for her hair, she dressed it like a man, tied up high, neat and tidy. When she spoke, she had the confidence and casualness that most women of that era did not have.
Jiang Zhenyao did not show any of the numerous shackles imposed on women under the rule of the feudal dynasties.
"I don't know about others, but I feel like you won't do that."
Chu Xi curled her lips, continued walking forward, and replied without taking it seriously, "You've only met me a few times and you've already made such a conclusion about me. Don't you know that you can only judge a person by his appearance?"
Jiang Zhenyao was not angry at Chu Xi's seemingly rebuttal, but smiled and said in a good-tempered manner, "I know, but I believe in my own judgment."
Chu Xi did not discuss this issue with Jiang Zhenyao. She was indeed an exception in this era and a lucky person, so she did not want to expose all the complexities to her, even though Jiang Zhenyao had the ability to bear it.
When Chu Er was found, he was still treating his wounds. There were too many wounds on his body, so the accompanying military doctor asked him to take off his shirt so that they could see clearly where the wounds were and make it easier to apply medicine for treatment.
Chu Xi walked into the room. Chu Er was still a little uncomfortable and wanted to put on his clothes. The old military doctor next to him saw this and said angrily, "Why are you covering up? You are not a grown-up girl. Why are you so shy as a grown man?"
Chu Er was filled with fear. He felt that his behavior was inappropriate, but was also afraid of offending... the prince.
"Prince..." Chu Er wanted to stand up and salute, but the old military doctor pushed him down forcefully.
"Don't move. If you move again, I won't sew up the wound. You sew it yourself." The old military doctor had a bad temper. He pretended not to know even though he had heard the prince's words, and he even scolded Chu Er to his face.
Chu Xi waved her hand to signal him not to get up, "It's okay, I came here just to see how you are doing."
Chu Er hummed, and although he agreed, it was obvious that his sitting posture was different from before, and his body was very stiff.
His behavior silently showed that he was not used to Chu Xi's appearance.
Jiang Zhenyao, who followed in, had been in the military camp for several years and was already accustomed to such trivial scenes.
When she saw Chu Er shirtless, the only thing that made her feel emotional was that Chu Er had so many wounds on his body!
"I brought some top-quality medicine with me. Give this to him." Jiang Zhenyao took out two bottles of top-quality medicine, all for external application.
