Chapter 76

If he hadn't heard Lu Ming personally say that he didn't like her at that time, Jiang Chujiu must have thought about it again.

But lest Lu Ming throw her another word of "narcissism", Jiang Chujiu decided to ignore it.

Lu Ming never thought that he would lift a rock and shoot himself in the foot. To be honest, he almost forgot what he said to Jiang Chujiu.

Jiang Chujiu didn't say much, and left Lu Ming's bedroom and returned to his side hall.

In the next few days, Jiang Chujiu kept secretly watching the movements of Yaohua Palace and Chu Shangshu. Three days later, after the morning court, Chu Shangshu went to the imperial study to meet Lu Ming.

As usual, Jiang Chujiu accompanied Lu Ming to the morning court, and then escorted Lu Ming all the way to the imperial study.

Although based on the abilities of the two of them, even if something happened, it was very likely that Lu Ming would protect her, but the process still had to be followed.

Lu Ming had just entered the imperial study, and before he could sit down, he heard Nan Xu coming in to announce that Minister Chu was asking to see him.

It is not difficult to see that Chu Shangshu rushed from the Zichen Palace to the Imperial Study Room as soon as he was in court.

"Let him in."

While speaking, Lu Ming was already sitting on the dragon chair behind the table.

Nan Xu answered yes, then turned around and went out, telling Chu Shangshu that he could go in.

Jiang Chujiu was not in a hurry to leave. She planned to stand obliquely behind Lu Ming as before, but Lu Ming raised his jaw directly at her: "Go and sit down. You have been standing outside the Zichen Palace just now. It's been so long, and I'm quite tired."

Jiang Chujiu was indeed a little tired from standing, so she didn't refuse, and sat down with Chenxi in her arms.

When Chu Shangshu came in, he heard Lu Ming's voice ordering: "Nan Xu, prepare some tea, don't be too hot."

"Yes, the slave will prepare now."

Seeing this, Chu Shangshu quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but I just want to ask His Majesty's consent for something, and I'm really sorry to bother Mr. Nanxu to prepare tea."

Lu Ming looked at Chu Shangshu, as if there was only one sentence written in his eyes - I'm afraid there is something wrong with you?

Lu Ming didn't talk nonsense with him, and asked directly, "What do you want to report?"

Seeing this, Chu Shangshu also immediately said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, a few days ago, Concubine Guan ordered Zhirou to send back a letter from her family, saying that she misses her parents a little bit, and as a foreigner, it is not easy for the old minister to enter the palace to see Concubine Guan, so I came here to ask for an order, I hope His Majesty will agree that Concubine Guan will return to the mansion for a briefing, and before dinner, the veteran will definitely send her back to the palace in person."

"It's human nature for Concubine Guan to miss her dearly." Lu Ming said, nodding his head lightly: "Yes, on the ninth day of the lunar new year, you will personally send Concubine Guan back to the Shangshu Mansion later, and bring her back at night .”

Jiang Chujiu said yes, and Chu Shangshu quickly thanked him when he saw this.

At this time, Nan Xu also came back with tea.

Lu Ming stopped Nan Xu from pouring tea for him, and said, "I don't need it, pour it for Chu Jiu."

As soon as these words came out, all three of them were taken aback.

Nan Xu and Jiang Chujiu reacted quickly. Nan Xu walked up to Jiang Chujiu with tea and poured tea for her.

But Chu Shangshu's old face turned red instantly.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand what Lu Ming's eyes meant just now.

"If Aiqing has nothing to do, go back first. After a while, Chu Jiu will bring Concubine Guan back to Shangshufu."

Although there was embarrassment of being affectionate, Chu Shangshu still maintained a respectful face, as did his attitude.

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty, the old minister will leave."

After Chu Shangshu left, Lu Ming also ordered Nan Xu to retreat.

When there were only the two of them left in the imperial study room again, Jiang Chujiu said, "Your Majesty, you are so blatantly asking me to send Concubine Guan back, will you startle the snake?"

"No." Lu Ming's voice was firm, and he said: "After you send Chu Yunwan back, you can leave the Shangshu Mansion under an excuse and sneak back secretly. With your lightness skills, it is still very easy for them not to find out."

The Shangshu Mansion is full of literati, even if there are guards and servants, they are still skilled in boxing and kicking. They only know brute force and don't know internal strength.

So it was very easy for Jiang Chujiu to dive back, and she would not be discovered.

Jiang Chujiu nodded, put down the tea cup in his hand, and stood up.

"Then, Your Majesty, I will send Concubine Guan back first."

Lu Ming hummed, and said, "Be careful, your own safety comes first, even if you can't find out, don't put yourself in danger."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have a measure."

Lu Mo looked at Jiang Chujiu's leaving figure, although he was still a little worried, but he couldn't leave the palace in broad daylight, otherwise he would be easily exposed.

At this time, Lu Ming didn't even remember that Jiang Chujiu was able to be alone.

Although she couldn't be exactly the same as the original owner, her strength was still not weak. It was simply because she was so well protected by Lu Ming during this period that even she herself had the illusion that she was a little trash.

After leaving the imperial study room, Jiang Chujiu went straight to Yaohua Palace.

Of course, he did not forget to order his Imperial Guards to prepare a carriage for leaving the palace.

In the Yaohua Palace, Chu Yunwan obviously heard about Chu Shangshu's visit to the Imperial Study Room, so he has been waiting in the Yaohua Palace.

The moment she saw Jiang Chujiu appear, she had guessed the purpose of Jiang Chujiu's arrival.

"Concubine Guan, you can tidy up, Your Majesty ordered me to take you back to Shangshu Mansion."

"No need, just go home, don't need to dress up, that's fine." Chu Yunwan replied.

In fact, it could be seen that Chu Yunwan was really anxious to go back.

So Jiang Chujiu didn't waste time, and directly took Chu Yunwan out of the palace and got into the carriage.

For the convenience of going out of the palace this time, Jiang Chujiu was still wearing women's clothing, but it was not as cumbersome as before.

So instead of riding in a carriage, she chose to ride a horse.

Although Jiang Chujiu had only walked the road to Shangshu Mansion once, she still had a deep impression of this road.

The journey was not long, but the closer he was to the Shangshu Mansion, the more flustered Chu Yunwan felt.

What she was afraid of was what she thought, and it finally became a reality.

What I am afraid of is that everything I once believed will be false in the end.

With such a mood, she went all the way to the gate of Shangshu Mansion.

After arriving, there was no movement on the side of the carriage. Jiang Chujiu felt a little puzzled, so she got off the horse and walked to the carriage.

"Miss Guanfei, the Shangshu Mansion is here."

Perhaps it was Jiang Chujiu's voice that woke Chu Yunwan up, and Chu Yunwan lifted the curtain of the car and walked out.

"Master Lao Jiang is very concerned. I finally returned home. I am really happy in my heart. I got carried away for a while."

 Happy New Year everyone!
