Chapter 4 Injured
Xuandi Longxin was very happy, and immediately ordered her to be the county magistrate of Siyi County, and went to Xiangzhou to take up the post three days later.

Zhou Shu received an order to thank her, and when she left the hall, Yang Tingli walked up to her and said in a fake manner: "Young Scholar, it's a long way to Xiangzhou, and you have to take care of your bones."

After speaking, like a winning rooster, he walked away quickly with his toes high and high.

Understanding the sarcasm in his words, Zhou Shu pursed his lips, subconsciously tightened the hand holding the imperial decree, and put the other hand into an empty fist to his lips.

"Cough-cough-"

Because of the cough, her body arched slightly, her steps were slow, and every step was extremely steady.

Walk slowly to the gate of the palace.

Qiu Min has been waiting outside the palace gate, seeing her coming out, immediately went up to meet her, and called out: "My lord."

Then he helped her into the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhou Shu's expression immediately turned cold.

She placed the bright yellow imperial decree on the table, leaning her body, her fingers like peeling onion roots, her hand resting on her forehead, and the tip of her other finger gently tapping on the table.

Now the situation in the court is turbulent and treacherous, under the seemingly calm surface of the lake, there are hidden turmoil.

Concubine Wan Gui in the harem is the only one who wins the holy favor, and has always been at odds with Empress Yang. The Yang family and the Wan family are also in tit-for-tat confrontation in the court, and they will never stop dying.

However, Emperor Xuan, who seemed to cherish talent, personally pushed her between the two factions of Yang Wan.

If she hadn't invited herself to go to Xiangzhou and stay in Xijing City, she would have become a victim of party struggle sooner or later.

It's just that, if he goes to the post, he will inevitably turn against the Wan family, and the road ahead will be even more difficult.

Zhou Shu was engrossed in his thoughts. At this moment, there was a sound of galloping horseshoes outside the carriage.

The man on horseback was dressed in a maroon red dress, with his hair tied up and a crown on his head, and he looked very high-spirited.

He appeared suddenly, and the speed of the red-brown horse under him was so fast, Qiu Min was terrified when he saw it, and he reined in the rein with his hands, and avoided it.

The man saw this, but he didn't have the slightest intention to stop.

I only heard "Yu Yu—" a horse neighing.

The horse was disturbed, and the carriage suddenly tilted in one direction.

Zhou Shu in the carriage was unexpected, his little face turned pale with fright.

Both hands tightly gripped the guardrails on both sides, and because of too much force, the veins on the back of the hands bulged.

The voice flustered.

"Qiu Min, what happened?"

"My lord, sit down first."

After Qiu Min answered quickly, she got off the horse, supported the carriage that was about to fall to the ground, and tightened the reins.

After a few high-pitched and hoarse screams, the carriage finally stabilized.

Zhou Shu was so frightened by the accident just now that his hands and feet went limp.

She quickly swallowed her saliva, and when she calmed down, she opened the curtain, just about to check what happened.

Just listen to Qiu Min outside the carriage lecturing people in a serious tone.

"You are so arrogant, how dare you hurt people with your horse on the street!"

"You are a servant, and you deserve to teach me a lesson." Extremely arrogant.

It just so happened that Zhou Shu opened the curtain and looked over here. Seeing that her face was pale from the shock of the scene just now, she sneered and said, "Hey, which weak young master is this?"

Qiu Min was very angry, "You..."

"Qiu Min." Zhou Shu stopped him lightly, "Don't be rude."

After saying that, he got off the carriage, walked up to Wen Yuting's horse, and respectfully said: "Master Wen, my servant has no eyes, if there is any offence, I will apologize to Lord Marquis on his behalf."

Wen Yuting originally wanted to show off his power and prestige, but now he heard her reveal her identity, and suddenly became interested.

Eyebrows slightly raised.

"Oh? How did you know the identity of this Marquis?"

When asked, Zhou Shu took a look at him, and then quickly looked away.

Hanging his eyes, he said: "Everyone knows that the Wen family is loyal. 16 years ago, in the battle of Jianmen Pass, General Wen led the Wen family to fight to the death. Although they were defeated, they were loyal."

Hearing her mention the past, Wen Yuting's face became ugly.

Interrupted angrily, "Asshole."

The riding whip in his hand almost fell on Zhou Shu's face.

Zhou Shu was so nervous that his heart stood up, and a layer of cold sweat crept up on his back, but he didn't retreat.

"Young Lord, you have misunderstood me. I have been full of admiration for Old General Wen since I was a child. Since the station of Jianmen Pass, although he died, he is like Mount Tai."

Wen Yuting didn't refute these words, his complexion looked a little better, and he let out a soft snort from his nasal cavity.

Zhou Shu continued: "According to what I heard, there is a family heirloom jade pendant in the Wen family. Old General Wen was happy to have his grandson, and when he was happy, he gave the jade pendant to the young master. Just now I saw the jade pendant on the waist of the young master. Only then did I venture to guess that you are Lord Wen Xiaohou."

After listening to her explanation, Wen Yuting's eyes fell on his waist, and he picked up the jade pendant and played with it for a moment.

"You are smart."

This is an acknowledgment of his identity.

"You're a smart guy, I like it, what's your name?"

Zhou Shu's expression remained unchanged, "Shu next week."

Zhou Shu?Is it the Xinke Zhuangyuan Lang who rejected the marriage proposal of the old man Yang Tingli?
No wonder.

This time, Wen Yuting's eyes on her changed.

His eyes fell on her face, from hair to toes, from top to bottom, and looked her over.

Then, he spoke without sincerity.

"It turned out to be Zhuangyuan Lang. I'm sorry just now. I have a strong temper and disturbed your carriage. Are you okay?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for her to answer, he said again: "I still have something to do, let's go ahead."

After the words fell, the horse's belly was clamped between the legs, "Drive."

Run towards the palace.

The horse rolled up a cloud of dust, Zhou Shu was choked up and coughed twice.

After she stopped coughing, she withdrew her eyes lightly, turned and returned to the carriage.

Command: "Go home."

Qiu Min was not convinced, and kept complaining to her on the way back.

"What kind of horse has a strong temper, I think he is arrogant and domineering, relying on the merits of the Wen family and the emperor's favor, he dares to be so unscrupulous and doesn't take human life seriously."

This is too outrageous.

"Qiu Min." Zhou Shu's voice sank, "Don't speak nonsense."

"The Wen family is full of loyalty, and Old General Wen took the lead. If they hadn't fought desperately on the front line, how could we have a stable life today? Don't ask me to hear things like this in the future."

After being reprimanded, Qiu Min stopped talking.

"Yes, son, Qiu Min knew he was wrong."

Drive honestly.

Zhou Shu went to court on the first day, and everyone in the Zhou family couldn't help worrying, not because they were afraid that she would make a mistake, but because they were worried that her body would not be able to bear it.

No, Zhou Hui had been waiting outside the gate early on, seeing Qiu Min driving in a car from a distance, he took three steps in parallel, and hurried forward.

Before the carriage stopped, he asked, "Why did you come back?"

Wasn't it because Young Master Wen galloped his horse on the street, frightened their horses, and almost caused the young master to fall, so he came back late.

But Qiumin didn't dare to say it.

At this time, Zhou Shu opened the curtain, stepped on the footstool, and explained to his elder brother: "There was an accident on the way back, so it was delayed."

"Accident? What accident?"

Hearing the word "accident", Zhou Hui became anxious, pulled her close, and looked up and down nervously.

Seeing that she was not injured, she was relieved.

Turning to ask Qiu Min who was on the side, "What happened?"

He was imposing, Qiu Min lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eyes, only Nuo Nuo Zheng didn't know what to do.

"Brother, don't force Qiu Min to ask questions."

Zhou Shu relieved Qiu Min and let him go down, "Brother, Your Majesty has appointed me as the county magistrate of Siyi County, and I will go to Xiangzhou to take up the post in three days."
