Your Highness, the princess is going to paint your portrait

The next day, when Jiang Hejin woke up, Lu Chi was the only one serving him.

"Your Highness, you are finally awake."

The stone in Lu Chi's heart finally fell. Just because Jing Chun refused to let the doctor enter the house, Lu Chi felt relieved for Jiang Hejin, who had a high fever.

Jiang Hejin sat up and took off the sweat towel from his forehead.

He vaguely remembered that he had a high fever last night, but his memory stopped at the conversation with Jing Chun.

Jiang Hejin couldn't remember clearly what happened after that.

The sun outside is a bit dazzling.

"It's already dawn..."

"Your Highness, you have been sleeping all night. It is already noon. The kitchen has sent porridge and vegetables. How about some, Your Highness?"

Jiang Hejin shook his head. He was very weak and had no appetite.

Jiang Hejin refused Lu Chi's support, glanced at the bed that had been tidied up, and said calmly: "Are you alone?"

"Princess, she took care of His Highness all night. She said she was worried that you would talk nonsense, so she only asked her subordinates to take care of you."

Jiang Hejin continued to ask: "Where is she now?"

"...The princess should go to rest..."

The hesitation in his words made Jiang Hejin raise his eyebrows slightly, "So you're not sure either."

Lu Chi said in fear: "This subordinate has no skills, so he did not notice the whereabouts of the princess."

Jiang Hejin never liked to hear excuses, but now that Lu Chi was taking such good care of him, he didn't want to argue.

"That's all. If she is resting, there is no need to disturb her."

"Yes."

When Lu Chi retreated, Jiang and Jinfang stretched their bodies, recalling what Lu Chi had just said, their eyes flashed with dullness for a moment.

lies?

What nonsense can Jiang Hejin say?

"Your Highness, Your Highness... Princess, she, she is not in the palace."

what?

……

In the palace, Queen Mother Liu looked at the token in her hand repeatedly, and then looked at Jing Chun in the hall.

"The Ai family remembers that this token was taken away by He Jin, so why did it end up with you, Princess Li? If He Jin gave it to you willingly, you wouldn't have to hide your real name and enter the palace, Princess Li!"

Jing Chun left the room last night just for this token. The agreement she made with Jiang Hejin was just to have a bargaining chip when she stood in front of Queen Mother Liu today.

Yes, she really couldn't trust Jiang Hejin completely.

She was alone and weak, but that didn't mean she had to swallow her anger and willingly cooperate with Jiang Hejin.

Jing Chun did not hide it and replied directly: "My concubine stole it from His Royal Highness Prince Li."

steal?

Jing Chun actually dared to say such obvious words so boldly.

"Tell me," Queen Mother Liu straightened her body, "Why did you bring this token to come to the Ai family now?"

"I just want to confirm one thing with the Queen Mother."

"what's up?"

"Jing Chun, can you be the Queen Mother's eyeliner?"

Liu's face was calm and calm, "Jing Chun, you are so brave."

Jing Chun was unfazed and continued to ask: "Empress Dowager, you haven't answered me yet?"

"Why are you willing now?" The Queen Mother stood up and walked slowly towards Jing Chun. "How does the Ai family know if this is your counterintuitive plan?"

"Because King Li can't believe it. Only the Queen Mother can give me what I want."

Jing Chun did not hide his selfishness at all. "What do you want?" Mrs. Liu looked at Jing Chun's expression carefully. She could see that Jing Chun was not saying nice things to compliment her like others, so she smiled slightly and said, "What you want is freedom? "

She told Jiang Hejin countless times but couldn't make him understand things, but Queen Mother Liu could express them without any difficulty.

With sincerity in her eyes, Jing Chun looked into Queen Mother Liu's eyes, "Yes, I want to leave Prince Li's Mansion with my name."

It's a name, not a designation.

He left Prince Li's Mansion in an upright manner, rather than disappearing in an evasive manner.

Mrs. Liu was a little stunned. It was not difficult for Jing Chun to leave, but what was difficult was for Jing Chun to walk out of Prince Li's Mansion calmly. Intimidation and inducement were not good ways to influence Jiang and Jin's thoughts. Jing Chun couldn't possibly not know how difficult it was. .

Queen Mother Liu twirled her fingers and thought in a flash, "Do you want to make peace?"

"Yes."

Queen Mother Liu raised her eyebrows slightly. Although it was a bit difficult to handle, how could she, the majestic Queen Mother, let go easily?

Liu gave Jing Chun some space, "That's it?"

"Also," Jing Chun took a deep breath. She knew that the chips in her hands were weak, but she still said what was in her heart. "Jing Chun, the Queen Mother, wants to know. She will definitely try her best to find out, but the matter of arson and murder I just can’t do it.”

"Is Aijia the kind of person who forces others into trouble?"

This is why Jing Chun chose Queen Mother Liu.

Jiang Hejin was the one who pushed Jing Chun towards the Queen Mother.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Liu calmly put the token in Jing Chun's hand, "Now you just need to stand still. When the need arises, the Ai family will naturally summon you."

"If I just leave like this, I won't be able to tell His Highness Prince Li if I can go and kneel in front of the Queen Mother's Palace for an hour."

If Jing Chun goes back like this, there is no guarantee that Jiang and Jin will not get to the bottom of Jing Chun's behavior today. In this case, it is better to reveal some truth and let Jing Chun give an explanation.

Mrs. Liu admired Jing Chun's thoughtfulness and she really didn't leave anyone with anything to say.

Ha, what a cruel trick!

only……

Ms. Liu frowned slightly, her lips half smiling but not smiling, "Does the Ai family have any reason to punish Princess Li?"

"Master Shaoqing died of illness in prison. Doesn't the Queen Mother hate her concubine?"

Ms. Liu smiled softly. Although she was saddened by Liu Kerian's own consequences, she didn't feel it was a pity.

She really fell in love with Jing Chun more and more, and she had given Liu an impeccable reason.

How could Queen Mother Liu not understand? She cleared her throat and then ordered: "Princess Li was not polite enough and rushed into the Ai family. The Ai family punished Princess Li by kneeling at the gate of the Ai family's palace for an hour. Anyone who asked for mercy would be punished by the Ai family." One pass of punishment.”

"The concubine receives her punishment."

Jing Chun said nothing, turned around and knelt at the palace gate.

There were many people coming and going at the entrance of the Empress Dowager's palace. Within half an hour, the news that Jing Chun was punished by the Empress Dowager by kneeling spread throughout the palace.

Many eunuchs and maids were talking not far away.

"Isn't this Princess Li? Why is she kneeling here?"

"What did Princess Li do to displease the Queen Mother?"

More and more people are watching the theater, and there are constant discussions, "It must be what happened to Liu Shaoqing last time. Now that Liu Shaoqing has died of illness in prison, it seems that it was Princess Li who caused Liu Shaoqing's misfortune."

The little palace maid said straightforwardly, "Liu Shaoqing deserves what he deserves. What does it have to do with the princess?"

"It was the Queen Mother who brought Liu Shaoqing's matter to the attention of many of the royal family members, and it was only then that the Queen Mother issued an order to conduct a thorough investigation. Who would believe that she is just a niece and nephew, and that she does not bear any grudge against the Princess?"

The little eunuch sighed and said: "It's a pity that His Royal Highness King Li will not come to the palace today, otherwise His Highness King Li would not have the heart to watch Princess Li kneeling here."

"His Royal Highness, Prince Li, is unable to save the princess," the little palace maid clicked her tongue, "The queen mother is furious, and anyone who pleads for mercy will be punished."
