Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

Those lucky families, when they finally saw the familiar figures of their children, the whole world seemed to cheer for them. In some families, parents could not wait to open their arms and hug their children tightly, fearing that if they let go, the children would disappear again; in others, their eyes were filled with tears, but their faces were filled with gratified smiles, which were a complex emotion mixed with excitement, joy and deep gratitude to God.

In the dim light, the joy of these families is like the brightest stars in the night sky. Although they may be only a faint light, they are enough to penetrate the darkness, warm and illuminate each other's hearts.

Chu Zixi stood quietly by the side, silently watching the scenes of joy and sorrow in front of her. Her mood was like a pot of five flavors overturned, with all kinds of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty tastes surging in her heart.

She sighed softly, and Jun Feimo noticed Chu Zixi's emotional fluctuations. He reached out and patted her back gently, giving her silent comfort. Then, the two slowly turned around, walked side by side, and walked towards the inn.

After returning to the inn, the two walked into the room together.

After a quick wash, she prepared to go to bed to rest. However, lying on the soft and comfortable bed, Chu Zixi tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Jun Feimo felt distressed when he saw this. He stretched out his arms, gently hugged Chu Zixi, and gently stroked her back, trying to calm her down.

He murmured, "Xi'er, go to sleep quickly. We can set off to return tomorrow morning. As for the follow-up matters here, we only need to hand them over to the magistrate of Fu'an County for proper handling."

Chu Zixi snuggled gently in Jun Feimo's arms, responded softly, felt his warmth and care, gradually relaxed, and finally slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the room, the two were already ready.

After breakfast, they set out from Fu'an County.

A few days later, Jun Feimo led his men and horses, traveling all the way, enduring hardships, and finally rushed back to the capital from Fu'an County.

The sound of horse hooves echoed on the ancient bluestone road. As soon as I stepped into the majestic city gate of the capital, Eunuch Xi was already waiting there. He walked quickly towards me with a smile on his face.

"This old servant pays homage to Prince Zhan and Princess Zhan!" Eunuch Xi bowed respectfully.

Jun Feimo tightened the reins in his hands, and the horse under him neighed and stopped.

He frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Eunuch Xi bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has ordered you to come to the palace to see him immediately. He said there is something urgent that needs to be discussed with you."

Jun Feimo heard this and turned to look at Chu Zixi beside him, his eyes showing concern. However, before he could speak, Chu Zixi said first: "You'd better go to the palace quickly, in case there is an emergency in the palace and I can't delay! I will go back home by myself." After that, she raised the whip lightly with her jade hand and drove away with a vigorous posture.

Jun Feimo stared at her back as she walked further and further away until she disappeared. Although he was reluctant to let her go, he knew that he could not delay any longer. So he resolutely turned his horse around, raised his whip, and galloped towards the direction of the palace.

After Chu Zixi returned to the palace alone, she went straight back to the main courtyard.

As soon as she entered the room, she ordered, "Go and prepare some hot water. I want to take a bath to wash away the fatigue from the journey."

"Yes, Princess." The maids acted quickly after receiving the order.

Soon, the steaming hot bath water was ready and the whole room was filled with mist.

"Princess, the hot water is ready. Please take a shower and change your clothes first." Yu Da stood aside and said softly.

Chu Zixi nodded slightly and said, "You go down and rest too," then she walked into the inner room.

Upon hearing this, Yu Da retreated.

In the bathroom, steam rises and thick water vapor fills the air. The whole space is shrouded in a layer of hazy mist, just like a fairyland. The water vapor is lingering, and it seems to have magical power to wash away all the dust and troubles in the world.

She undid her clothes gently, her movements graceful and slow, and pieces of clothing fell from her body like petals.

Finally, she walked into the tub slowly, naked, like a fine sculpture. The moment she stepped into the tub, the hot water wrapped her delicate skin tightly like a gentle embrace.

That trace of warmth and comfort seeped into her body through her pores, as if a pair of soft hands were gently caressing her long-tensed nerves, allowing them to gradually relax.

As time passed, the water in the bathtub gradually lost its temperature.

Chu Zixi slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were as clear as water, revealing a kind of tranquility and peace. She stood up slightly and left the bathtub. Water drops slid down her smooth skin and dripped onto the ground, making a crisp sound.

Then, she picked up a soft towel and wiped her body carefully, leaving no corner untouched. After her body was completely dry, she put on the clean clothes that had been prepared long ago.

Chu Zixi walked out of the bathroom with light steps and returned to the master bedroom.

She walked to the couch, sat down gently, and then leaned against the soft pillow.

At this moment, she was wearing a simple and elegant dress, the color of which was fresh and elegant, just like the flowers blooming in spring. This dress made her skin look as white and crystal clear as snow.

There was a hint of peace and calmness between her brows, as if the hustle and bustle of the world could not disturb her inner peace.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. It turned out to be the two maids, Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu, who were walking into the room quietly, holding a pot of hot tea and a plate of exquisite snacks in their hands.

The two of them came to the couch and carefully placed the tea set and snacks on the low table beside them.

Xiao Cui smiled and whispered softly, "Princess, you must be tired after the long journey. This is some new cake I made. Please try it and see if it suits your taste." As she spoke, she opened the lid of the cake box, and immediately, an enticing aroma wafted into her nose.

Chu Zixi turned her head slightly, her eyes slowly falling on the plate of exquisite pastries in Xiao Cui's hand.
