At Xushi, someone knocked on the door. Huaiyu opened the door a little warily, and was relieved to see that it wasn't Jiang Shen outside.
Jiang Xuanjin looked at her unkindly: "Can Your Highness forget the appointment?"
Huaiyu laughed dryly: "Something happened, it's not that I broke the appointment on purpose."
"What's up?"
Looking behind in embarrassment, Huaiyu said: "It's not easy to go into details with the king about the daughter's family."
The daughter's family who is close to her is also Xu Chuning. Jiang Xuanjin remembered the scene he saw today, and stepped forward to press the door.
"Hey, there should be nothing important these two days, so let's postpone the discussion?" Huaiyu pressed against the door and did not let go.
Jiang Xuanjin glanced at her: "No business."
"What are you doing here without discussing matters?" Huaiyu muttered, "To avoid suspicion!"
Do you know the word? Jiang Xuanjin laughed back angrily, and looked at her with folded arms: "You and Lu Jingxing are together, why don't you avoid suspicion?"
"That's different." Huaiyu said, "Lu Jingxing didn't marry a wife. If he did, I'd avoid it too."
These words sound inexplicably comforting, Jiang Xuanjin's expression softened, and he hooked his fingers at her: "Come out."
After hesitating for a moment, Li Huaiyu stepped over the threshold and closed the door tightly.
"Do you want to help her?" Jiang Xuanjin asked.
Huaiyu raised his eyebrows: "Why do you have the nerve to intervene in other people's housework?"
"Are you still embarrassed?" He snorted slightly.
Li Huaiyu choked, thinking about it, he was shameless anyway, if he could do something to make Chu Niang happier, that would be great.
So she asked, "What's your opinion, Your Majesty?"
Jiang Xuanjin pursed her lips, took her back to her room, and closed the door behind her.
"Second brother may not be ruthless to second sister-in-law, but he has been used to being a bastard since he was a child, and there are always beauties around him." Slowly plugging the door bolt, he said, "Second sister-in-law has always been non-controversial. She is a dignified and dignified house, and she is always overwhelmed by concubines."
Huaiyu frowned when he heard this: "Jiang Shen doesn't care?"
Jiang Xuanjin shook his head: "The beauties in his yard are all treasures."
Squinting her eyes, Huaiyu said in a low tone, "This kind of flirtatious ghost really ruined the first brew."
"Your Highness wants to help her, there are two ways." Sitting next to her, he said, "One is to teach her how to get rid of concubines, and let her monopolize the favor."
"The other one is to ask the second brother to give a letter of divorce."
As soon as this word came out. Huaiyu stared at him speechlessly: "You also agree with their reconciliation?"
Jiang Xuanjin shook his head: "Just tell the way, let His Highness decide."
How should she decide? This is a lifelong event for the first time. Huaiyu propped her chin in depression and thought: "I don't know them too well, why don't you tell me more?"
"Okay." Jiang Xuanjin nodded as his eyes moved slightly.
The room is very warm, and the incense is still burning. The pillows and sheets have all been changed by myself, and it looks very clean. The man whispered about Jiang Shen's past events in a lingering voice, and she yawned long after hearing it.
"The stool is a bit hard, Your Highness can sit by the bed." Jiang Xuanjin said very politely.
The bed looked very soft, and Li Huaiyu didn't show any politeness to him. He went over and touched it, then sat down, moved his buttocks comfortably, and continued to listen to him.
After half an hour, Jiang Xuanjin stopped talking.
The person beside the bed half leaned on his pillow and fell into a deep sleep, his eyelashes closed under his eyes, motionless.
The corners of his lips curled up, and he finally got up, like a fisherman pulling in his net at dusk, straightening the body of the stupid fish caught in the net. Covered her with a quilt.
Jiang Xuanjin didn't like the inn room at all, and didn't plan to sleep here from the beginning. There are still a lot of documents sent from various places in Ziyang. He sits by the bed and reads them quietly. Hearing the familiar breathing sound, he is in a good mood.
The Second Young Master Jiang didn't know that he was betrayed by his own brother. He sat in Gu Luan's room, didn't reach out to hug her like before, just stared at a certain place in a daze.
Gu Luan asked: "My lord, is there something on your mind?"
Jiang Shen paused, then returned to his senses and smiled: "Isn't it all about you?"
Gu Luan smiled slightly, wrapped his neck around his neck and kissed him lightly on the face, then let go of his hand tactfully, and looked at him obediently.
Jiang Shen is the favorite of such a considerate and sensible beauty, but today, instead of praising her, he asked, "Guluan, if I get close to Cuixue in front of you, will you be unhappy?"
Gu Luan was stunned, and the light in his pair of Jianshuiqiu pupils was moving: "I am already content to be with the young master, how can I be unhappy because of this?"
"Then..." Jiang Shen lowered his eyes, "If you are unhappy, why?"
Gu Luan shook her head with a smile: "Young Master, don't worry, I won't be jealous and make you worry."
Is it jealousy? Jiang Shen looked at his fingertips in doubt.
That thin body trembled slightly, like a dying mayfly in the twilight, when he touched her lightly, even her pupils constricted.
He has always disliked women being jealous and making trouble, but Xu Chuyong's appearance made him feel distressed.
It really hurts, like a fine needle, stirring the slightly astringent water, making people's eyelids sour.
Standing up slowly while leaning on the edge of the table, Jiang Shen started to leave.
Gu Luan was taken aback for a moment, and asked softly, "Your Master, do you still want to find your wife?"
"...No." Jiang Shen thought for a while, "I'll go and pay my respects to the old man."
It's so late, it's time for the old man to rest, what can he do for you? Gu Luan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she shook her head slightly: "This place is a little strange, I'm really a little scared..."
As she said that, she stretched out her hand and gently grabbed his sleeve: "You accompany me, okay?"
Jiang Shen was a little hesitant, but Gu Luan said generously: "If you really miss your wife, then I might as well go and talk for you. It's always easier to talk to a daughter's family."
"Who misses her?" Jiang Shen's face darkened when he heard that, "I said it was to pay the old man well."
Gu Luan was startled by his roar, blinked his eyelashes, and water glistened.
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Jiang Shen stretched out his hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows: "Forget it, it's getting late, go to sleep."
"Okay." Gu Luan lowered his eyes, wiped away his tears, and helped him to change his clothes and rest.
Xu Chunyong sat alone in the room, still in a daze.
She is really easy to coax, every time Jiang Shen hurt her. As long as you gently coax her, she will act as if nothing happened and hold no grudges at all.
The old man once praised her temperament, saying that she was gentle and virtuous, and she was a lady of every family.
But this kind of temperament seems to have spoiled him instead. Anyway, he knew she was easy to coax, so he hurt her again and again, and then apologized. Jiang Shen never felt distressed.
Both Guluan and Cuixue are treasures. Only a mediocre person like her is a grass.
Laughing hoarsely, Xu Chuniong took a deep breath and wiped the tears from his face.
He doesn't cherish her, she should cherish herself no matter what. Life is given by parents, so it can't be spent on him.
Just as I was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
Huaiyu is back? Her eyes lit up, and she quickly went up and pinched the edge of the door and pulled it—
"Guest officer." The clerk looked into the room while smiling, and walked in with water, "The guest officer ordered me to bring you a basin of water to wash up. We have a lot of mosquitoes at night. There is also a plate of incense here to repel mosquitoes." , put it by the bed."
Chu Niang nodded: "It's time to work."
The clerk smiled and put the handkerchief on his shoulders: "If you have an order, call again, and the younger one will leave first."
After sending him out, Xu Chunyong closed the door, feeling a little strange, but he couldn't say why.
The smoke from the incense turned white, and she felt dizzy after smelling it for a while, so she simply snuffed it out, and continued to wait for Huaiyu with her eyelids open.
After two sticks of incense, there was another knock on the door.
Xu Chunian heard the "dong dong" sound. But for some reason, her eyelids were heavy and her body was weak. She opened her mouth for a long while, but couldn't utter a word.
Oops!
With difficulty, she opened her eyes and looked at the long-extinguished incense beside the bed. She knew something was wrong, let alone move.
The door was bolted, and someone pushed it open a crack, and a small hook protruded from the door to catch the wooden peg. With a slight lift, the door opened. Just now the guy who delivered the incense came in, took a look at her, and asked the people next to him in a low voice: "Is it her?"
The person next to him said suspiciously: "It looks a little strange... But this room is right, take it away first."
The man responded, and was about to grab her arm when he came up.
Xu Chuniang was so frightened that she raised her hand to shake him off, but no matter how hard she tried in her heart, she couldn't move her hand at all.
She fell off the bed, her half-closed eyes could only see the boots of these two people, and in a whirl, her forehead hit the leg of the stool next to her. A burst of pain finally woke her up.
"Help... help!" Xu Chuniang shouted with all his might, but his voice was like a mosquito.
"This person is still awake!" The man was startled, and looked around, as if looking for something to knock her out again.
Ruined. Xu Chuniong closed his eyes, and he didn't dare to look any more.
However, after waiting for a while, the expected pain did not subside, and the guy who was still looking fierce just now suddenly fell silent for some reason.
Xu Chuyong was taken aback for a moment, and opened his eyelids with great effort, only to see Chi Jin standing beside her. A long knife was lying under the guy's arm, and as long as he moved it down again, blood could be seen.
"Hit it?" Qing Xian leaned against the door, smiling authentically, "Don't be afraid, isn't it just one arm? It's important to hit someone."
Just Wu pushed Qingxian, came in and helped Xu Chuning up first, looked at the swollen bump on her forehead, and his face was a little ugly for a moment.
"It's over." He murmured, "You should find a way to explain to His Highness."
I knew this shop was not proper, so everyone was careful, they didn't light the incense from the inn, and they didn't touch anything except the food made of red gold. If the store didn't do anything, it would be like this tonight, but once they did, they wouldn't take advantage of it.
It's black and white, everyone has experience, just heard the movement, and also held back for a while, planning to catch it and talk about it later.
As a result, Jiang Xu was injured in this one blow.
Chi Jin kicked the guy away, pulled the lanyard on the bed curtain, and tied his hands and feet. The Qingxian movement was also quick, and he picked up the stool and smashed it on the back of the neck of the person next to him.
"Don't beat me to death." Just Wu said while helping Jiang Xu to the bed, "Leave it to His Highness to question."
Seeing that the situation was not right, the guy shouted out of the window: "The wind is tight, pull..."
"Pull your grandma's legs!" Qing Xian threw a stool over, "Do you still want to run? Dreaming!"
Those who were resting downstairs had already cleaned up all the people who entered the room. At this moment, the Jiang family didn't know what was going on, and they had already started searching around to see how many stolen treasures were hidden in the inn.
The swiftness of the movements and the proficiency of the process made the shopkeeper stunned.
"Brother, which way is it?" the shopkeeper asked.
Several people glanced at each other, imitating the look of the eldest princess with their arms akimbo tacitly: "Li Danyang, the little overlord of the capital, have you heard of it?"
The shopkeeper shook his head in horror.
"Then you can remember it in the future." Bai Aiyu patted his shoulder earnestly, "Otherwise you will suffer a lot!"
As he spoke, he took out his silver deposit box from behind the counter, counted the banknotes, and put them all into his bosom.
Xu Chuyong lay half-lying with lingering fear, the remaining power of the drug made her unable to open her eyes, but she just didn't dare to fall asleep, her face turned blue.
"Second Madam, go to sleep." Chi Jin stood five steps away from her, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, stand guard outside the door."
After that, he turned around and went out, closing the door for her.
The lantern in the corridor outside was on, and the light reflected on the door, illuminating his silhouette. Xu Chuyong looked at him, finally relieved, closed his eyes and passed out.
Wu went to knock on the door one by one to say hello, Jiang Shen was woken up, and asked impatiently: "What's going on?"
look at him. Jiu Wu cupped his hands and said: "Second Madam's room has been broken into by thieves, I'm here to inquire to see if there is any trouble elsewhere."
A Jiling woke up, Jiang Shen frowned, pushed him away and walked out.
Encountered a thief? Xu Chuyong is a cowardly person, he can frighten her by talking loudly, but if he sees a thief enter the house, why not be scared to death
A few steps to the door of the room, Jiang Shen raised his head and saw Chi Jin holding a knife.
"Please stop." Chi Jin stopped him.
Jiang Shen looked him up and down, and sneered: "What are you? Stop me?"
Chi Jin cupped his hands: "Follow orders, please be considerate of Mr. Jiang."
"Order?" Jiang Shen narrowed his eyes, "It's my wife inside, so what if you follow the order?"
Chi Jin remained silent, and stood in front of the door, refusing to budge.
People in the inn were awakened one after another. Bai Xuanji heard the news and immediately went to the door of Jiang Xuanjin's room.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Jiang Xuanjin paused, and her first reaction was to cover Li Huaiyu's ears on the bed.
"Second Miss, don't make any noise." Chengxu came over, frowned and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty wants to rest."
Bai Xuanji said anxiously: "It is said that there are thieves in this inn, so I have to ask your majesty if there is nothing wrong."
"Second Miss is too worried." Cheng Xu said, "Your Majesty is fine."
"How did you know if you didn't go in and see?" Bai Xuanji was persistent.
The noisy voices continued one after another, and Li Huaiyu was awakened from such a deep sleep. When she opened her eyes in displeasure, she saw Jiang Xuanjin sitting by the bed with a dark face, and she was shamelessly occupying someone else's bed.
"Hey, why did I fall asleep again?" Huaiyu quickly lifted the quilt and got out of bed to put on his shoes, seeing his obviously angry expression, Huaiyu said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
How did she know that Jiang Xuanjin was angry with others? Fortunately, Mr. Ziyang was well-bred, and he didn't throw her out after being so angry with her.
Jiang Xuanjin got up, stepped forward and opened the door.
Bai Xuanji was taken aback, then looked at him again and said, "My lord, I am very worried about you!"
Her eyebrows twitched when she heard her claim, Jiang Xuanjin said: "Please, Second Miss, please respect yourself."
Bai Xuanji pursed her lips, pretending that she didn't understand, and said: "My concubine's clothes are a little disheveled, and I also care about your lord, and I didn't take care of it when I was in a hurry. If your lord thinks that my concubine is frivolous, then I will go back and change my clothes first."
After saying a salute, he turned his head and left.
Jiang Xuanjin looked at her back with cold eyes.
Huaiyu appeared from behind him and asked suspiciously, "What happened?"
Chengxu cupped his hands and replied: "It is said that a thief broke into the store..."
"This wilderness, where are the thieves? It can only be the black heart of the store!" Just now, Li Huaiyu was still a little sleepy. Hearing this, Li Huaiyu woke up, and walked out with her skirt in hand, "Close the net, close the net!"
She walked quickly, Jiang Xuanjin stopped after two steps, watching her disappear into the corner of the corridor like flying.
It's not so much rushing to watch the fun, it's better to say it's like running away.
Huaiyu is indeed on the run, she feels that her emotions are not quite right. Isn't it just a "concubine"? In the past, she herself didn't want to call herself so, but now what do you think she should do
It's so awkward. Forget about it.
Cursing herself a few words in her heart, Li Huaiyu returned to the door of the room, and saw that the surroundings were in a mess.
Jiang Shen grabbed Chi Jin, and for some reason they fought together. There were two charming girls beside him trying to persuade him, but Wu Wu and the others stood by and watched the fun, muttering from time to time: "Take the next game."
The corner of his mouth twitched, Huaiyu went up and gave them a kick: "Don't you hurry up and pull away?"
Just Wu Qingxian was startled, and immediately put on a look of persuading a fight, and stepped forward to separate people from one left to the other.
Jiang Shen's face was full of color, and he was caught by Jiu Wu and spat on Chi Jin: "Do you really think that rabbits won't bite when they are in a hurry?"
Chi Jin replied blankly: "It doesn't hurt even if I bite it."
"you!"
Huaiyu heard it funny, pulled Jiang Shen by the collar and sent him back to the hands of the two concubines to support him, and then said: "The second son is so talented, he has always used pen and ink to run the world, how can he do it today? Crude fighting thing?"
Jiang Shen pointed to Chi Jin: "He blocked my way."
"Really?" Huaiyu leaned over to look at Chijin, saw that he was not injured much, patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Good job!"
Jiang Shen: "..."
"How's the first brew?" she asked.
Several people glanced at each other, pushed Chi Jin up, Chi Jin pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "I've been drugged, and I'm falling asleep. I knocked on the head, but nothing else is serious."
Still hurt? Huaiyu stared, and went inside after digging them open.
Xu Chuniong was still asleep, his expression had returned to normal, only a lump was swollen on his forehead, and he looked a little embarrassed.
Huaiyu stared at it for a while, went to find the ointment in the luggage, stuffed it into Chijin's hands, then hooked Jiuwu and the others: "Come with me."
Eight faces opened the way, and Li Danyang, the little overlord of the capital, rushed downstairs aggressively.
When Jiang Xuanjin arrived, the detainee's firewood room was already full of howling ghosts and wolves.
"Auntie! Auntie! We're just making a living!" The man with a bruised nose and a swollen face repeatedly begged for mercy. Let's kill and sell!"
"Oh?" Li Huaiyu swayed with Erlang's legs crossed, "If you kill people, only those in my room will be touched?"
The clerk said: "We don't know you, auntie! It's this person! It's he who asked for 'Bai Zhuji' by name."
Huaiyu took a look, and stretched out his hand to turn the unconscious big man over, but he was blocked before he reached out.
"People in the palace." Jiang Xuanjin said calmly.
Looking at him in surprise, and then at the uncharacteristic big man on the ground, Huaiyu was curious: "How do you know?"
Jiang Xuanjin cared for her with the eyes of a fool: "Except for the people in the palace, who would have trouble with Bai Zhuji?"
The two days went well. They really relaxed a bit, thinking that in the territory of Ziyang, the emperor's hand could not be stretched so far, but they were still unable to guard against it.
Huaiyu shook his head: "Then it's over, he knows I'm with you, and you can't clear up the suspicion of rebellion."
Giving her a cold look, Jiang Xuanjin dragged her out of the firewood room, turned her head and told Chengxu: "Clean it up."
"Yes." Cheng Xu cupped his hands.
Seeing that he led her in the direction of his room again, Huai Yu hesitated and said, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Xuanjin glanced at the sky: "There is still an hour, you sleep a little longer."
Huaiyu wanted to say that she could sleep in her own room too. But think about the first brew is still there. So he said: "Let Jiuwu and Qingxian squeeze together, I can sleep with them."
After a pause, Jiang Xuanjin turned her head: "Their bed is more comfortable than mine?"
"It's not this..." Huaiyu shrugged, "It's not convenient for you."
The ghost knows what "concubine body" will appear again after sleeping.
Looking at her steadily, Jiang Xuanjin said, "I'm going to see my second brother. It's not inconvenient for you to sleep in the room."
After all, as soon as he turned his steps, he went in another direction.
Huaiyu stood at the same place and looked at his back, feeling that this person seemed to have changed a little bit, although he still didn't mean what he said, but he seemed to be a lot gentler.
There was no one except Li Huaiyu that night. No one rests well. At dawn the next day, everyone set off and left the inn in a hurry.
When Xu Chuyong woke up, Gu Luan was waiting beside the bed.
"Ma'am." She said expressionlessly, "No matter how angry you are, there is no reason for you to keep the young master from stepping down in public."
Looking at her blankly, Xu Chuniang said in a hoarse voice, "When will I stop him from coming down?"
"It's clearly the son's main room, but he sleeps in someone else's room, and let a man with a different surname guard him?" Gu Luan frowned, "Your master is so tolerant, do you think it's justified?"
Xu Chuniang listened calmly, and then asked her: "In your opinion. What should I do?"
Gu Luan replied: "Go and plead guilty with the young master, he hasn't had breakfast yet."
This lady has always been easy to handle, she has offended her many times, and she is not red-eyed in a hurry, and she will not complain, so Gu Luan always puts her airs high in front of her.
However, after hearing her words, Xu Chuniang didn't respond as before, instead he propped himself up and leaned against the soft pillow, smiling softly:
"The chick is gesturing in front of the swan, and the wings are probably not long enough."
Gu Luan was taken aback, puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"Praise you." Chu Nian nodded, "Thank you for your kindness."
