Lu Chi took advantage of Jing Chun's distraction and hurriedly left with Shen Chuli.

Jing Chun wanted to chase after him, "Since the ginseng soup has been delivered, I won't keep it any longer."

Jiang Hejin called out to Jing Chun, "If you want to know anything, just ask me. What are you doing to embarrass Lu Chi?"

"Lu Chi is not willing to say it, so you are willing?"

Jiang Hejin raised his eyebrows and said in a relaxed tone: "Xijun, you might as well give it a try."

Jing Chun tried to find some flaw in Jiang Hejin's eyes, but Jiang Hejin looked frank and lowered his voice, "The king is the one who signed the document today. Since I trust you, what else can I hide? "

There seemed to be nothing wrong with this, and Jing Chun also felt that it made sense, so he cleared his throat and looked more serious, "It's late at night, how could a woman come out of His Highness's study?"

These words reminded Jiang Hejin of something. They were not in a hurry to reply to Jing Chun's words, but looked at the mothers behind Jing Chun, "Since Mr. Xi hasn't rested yet, I will do it in front of you." I have said that from now on, Mr. Xi will go back to sleep with me, and Mr. Xi’s things will be packed up in my bedroom tomorrow morning. Please leave first."

"Yes."

Jing Chun was shocked at first, but seemed to understand Jiang and Jin's intentions. Now that the two had signed a contract, Jiang Hejin no longer had to worry about Jing Chun's feelings if they wanted to show harmony between husband and wife.

So Jing Chun has to sleep on the floor again?

Jing Chunfang wanted to argue, but Jiang and Jin had already gone to their room carrying ginseng soup.

Jing Chunke remembered the purpose of his trip, followed him, and asked, "You haven't answered me yet?"

Jiang and Jin were already sitting together, serving themselves a bowl of ginseng soup and taking a sip, "Xijun is jealous when he sees a woman coming out of the study?"

Perhaps because of Shen Chuli's approval just now, Jiang Hejin's mood was no longer dull, but instead they were in the mood to joke.

Jing Chun was amused by Jiang Hejin's words, "What? Your Highness tasted the sourness of the ginseng soup?"

You see, Jing Chun would never let Jiang Hejin's words fall to the ground.

"She is an actress who goes to the embroidery workshop for you. Once she has learned her skills, she does not need to stay in the embroidery workshop anymore. I will simply resign her and reward her with some money."

"She is my substitute in the embroidery workshop?"

"Stand-in? You could say."

Jing Chun thought about the woman's appearance and clothes, and Jiang Hejin's words seemed to make sense.

If Jiang Hejin's words were mixed with water, it wouldn't be considered a lie.

"I do believe what His Highness said. It's just a matter of learning skills?" Jing Chun came closer, "This reason doesn't seem to be that sufficient, does it?"

Even if Jiang Hejin said that Shen Chuli's family was critically ill, it would be a thousand times better than this. To put it bluntly, if Jiang Hejin used this excuse, then why would he have to resign Shen Chuli at this juncture? And then Jiang Hejin should use this What reasons are there to evade Jing Chun's appointment in Jingzhao Mansion?
"Is His Highness planning something deliberately, or is he taking advantage of my appearance or disappearance to do something shameful?"

Jiang Hejin smiled. Sure enough, Jing Chun's head was really good. He knew that Jing Chun wouldn't believe it, so what he said next became more believable.

"We can't talk about plans, but there is indeed one thing that requires us to resign Shen Chuli."

"whats the matter?"

"Liu Kemian died of illness in prison."

!

Seeing the shocked look on Jing Chun's face, he continued: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the Ministry of Punishment. I just got the news. Shen Chuli was not the one I wanted to resign. She took the initiative. Come on, Liu Kemian has passed away. The entanglement between you and Liu Kemian... The people in the uncle's house do not dare to trouble the Queen Mother, but they will inevitably not set their sights on Princess Li, who is still learning skills in the embroidery workshop. With her body, Shen Chuli is in danger."

"Is that girl resigning because of this?" "Now that the embroidery workshop has been entered and someone is watching, maybe it's someone from the uncle's house. What if something unexpected happens to Shen Chuli?"

"As His Royal Highness Prince Li, you are also afraid of Hua Zhou?"

"Afraid?" Jiang Hejin couldn't help but smile, "I don't want to get into trouble. He is a relative of the country, and I am a relative of the emperor. The relationship is inextricably linked. If Mr. Xi were me, I would probably make this choice to protect my own safety. By removing Shen Chuli, we can also avoid disputes with the uncle's house."

Jing Chun thought for a long time, and what Jiang Hejin said made sense. She would indeed make the same choice as Jiang Hejin. It was not that she was afraid of anything, but that Shen Chuli should not bear such danger on Jing Chun's behalf.

Jing Chun frowned. The danger exerted by this pressure seemed to be pressing on Jing Chun's chest. Her depressed mood was like a knot that could not be untied. Jing Chun did not feel any guilt in the face of Liu Kemian's matter. But it still affected others.

Jing Chun did nothing wrong...

Jing Chun came to her senses, but she still had doubts about Jiang Hejin's words. She asked, "In that case, why didn't Guard Lu reveal anything to me?"

Jiang Hejin relaxed his posture, looked at Jing Chun, and said without changing his expression: "Lü Chi is my king's bodyguard, so naturally he thinks about everything for me. What if there is a rift between us and you and me?"

"If you and Shen Chuli are innocent, why worry about any rift?"

Jiang Hejin drank the ginseng soup in front of him calmly and smiled bitterly, "How many pairs of eyes are staring at you and me? It is indeed the principle that I believe in to be pure, but it also applies to reducing unnecessary troubles. "

Turning around, Jiang Hejin glanced slightly sideways, "Jing Chun, there is a written record between you and me. What I just said is really not a lie."

Indeed, there was not a single lie. Jiang Hejin told the truth today, what he worried about Shen Chuli and what Lu Chi concealed, and even used the word "unsure" to slander the uncle's house. Three words.

Look, Jiang Hejin is not lying!

Yes, Jiang Hejin didn't tell any lies.

Jing Chun may not dare to believe all Jiang Hejin's words.

Jing Chun bowed slightly as an apology for being rude to Cai Cai. He looked around and asked, "I want to rest here today, right?"

Jing Chun was already familiar with the process, but it was no longer midsummer. She placed the bedding on a couch, took off her shoes, and then took off her coat, "I'll go to bed first, you Do it yourself."

It was as if Jing Chun regarded this place as his home.

Jiang Hejin called out: "Xijun has a good sleep."

Lu Chi did not take Shen Chuli out of the house, but turned left and right to a small courtyard.

"Girl, please rest here tonight. It is quiet here and no one will disturb you. I will arrange for the girl to leave the house tomorrow."

Shen Chuli opened the door with some hesitation. The room was simply furnished and very clean. Tea and fruits were already prepared on the table. Staying all night was not a problem.

Shen Chuli leaned forward and said, "Thank you so much, Guard Lu."

However, Lu Chi took out the key and did not hide it, "The palace is so big that a stranger will inevitably attract criticism. I will close the door after I leave. I will definitely see Miss Fang come out early tomorrow morning."

After what Lu Chi said, Shen Chuli noticed that the windows in the room had been sealed.

Although Shen Chuli was born in a small family and had never seen such a posture, she also knew that this move was also to prevent herself from committing any inappropriate behavior.

Shen Chuli was still a little worried, but now she could only bravely take two steps into the house, "Justice Lu, just close the door. I will wait for good news tomorrow."

"Girl, sleep well."

After saying that, Lu Chi closed the door, and the sound of locking the door made Shen Chuli's heart calm down... (End of Chapter)
