The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 22 Heartbeat
  A glimmer of clarity flashed in Lu Xu's eyes. The suspicion of a dead person was the least, so no one would doubt whether the person was dead or not!

"Sir, Jin Yiwei won't even interfere in these dirty things in the harem, right?"

Wen Jiu's hint was obvious enough. This was not a crime committed by a dead soul at all, but someone who took advantage of this rumor and wanted to take advantage of it.

But being able to alarm the Jinyi Guards is enough to show how much the Holy Spirit paid attention to the last incident of resurrecting corpses in the dense forest...

"The dead palace maid was from Xian Gui Ren's palace. Xian Gui Ren claimed that it was Concubine Li who destroyed the body and destroyed the traces. Then this palace maid... should still be in Xian Gui Ren's palace!"

"Lou Wu." Lu Xu already knew something in his mind, "Let the informant check if there is anything unusual in Xian Guiren's palace."

Wen Jiu called him a good guy, there were informants from Jinyiwei even in the concubine's palace!
  "Sir, the princess should be anxious." Wen Jiu kindly reminded him that he had to rush back to Anrui Palace.

"Thank you very much, Miss Wen."

"You're welcome, sir. Just remember our agreement." She bowed lightly to Lu Xu and left with a smile on her face.

Wen Jiu left the palace before the palace door was locked. The night was falling, and the breeze just blew the car curtains. She looked out along the corner. The palace looked nice, but the high gray tiles on the wall looked like a prison. The king's heart is unpredictable, and the beauty is unlucky. Even her father accompanies the king like a tiger.

There are so many ghosts, and there are so many people among them who don’t know how they died.

As soon as we entered the official road, we were surrounded by cars and horses, a stream of people, and the shouts of vendors came and went.

"Girl, do you want to go for a walk?" Ban Xia was not as cautious as Zi Su, and when she saw the market outside, her eyes almost narrowed into crescent moons.

Wen Jiu couldn't help laughing, and deliberately teased her: "Want to go?"

"I think!" Ban Xia responded hurriedly. After saying that, she looked into her young lady's eyes that were half-smiling but not smiling, and her head started to tingle.

Seeing her aggrieved look, Wen Jiu relented and said, "When we get to a busy place, let's get out of the car and take a walk."

At the beginning of the lanterns, the whole street is decorated with all kinds of lanterns, and the streets are bustling with people shouting and selling.

"What day is it today? Why is it so lively?" Wen Jiu walked leisurely in front.

"Young lady, you don't know. Today is not a festival. On the fifteenth day of the month, the capital will be particularly lively."

It was a custom.

"Let's let one let, let one let!"

Frequent and urgent sounds came from behind, and three shirtless men walked towards the open space of the market carrying a human-shaped statue.

The pedestrians who were crowded in the middle of the road dispersed to both sides. Zisu and Banxia subconsciously protected Wen Jiu behind them and leaned against the stall next to them.

"Oh, if you have to take advantage of the crowd to join in the fun, can't you move this thing after the people have dispersed?"

"That's right! Every time the Zhou family does something, everyone must know it."

"Isn't that right? Otherwise, how would you know that Zhou Dashan has done good deeds again!"

Wen Jiu poked his head out curiously. Although he didn't know who the great good person was this week, the statue was very lifelike and he didn't know which famous artist made it.

The three masters and servants followed the flow of people to the open space. This was the most crowded place. It turned out that there were blacksmiths here.

I saw a flower shed set up in the open space, with a stove on one side to melt the iron juice. The flower-arranging artist was bare-armed and used a flower stick to hit the iron juice with a temperature of thousands of degrees onto the shed. The night was instantly covered with fire. The fireworks illuminated the sky, and the shooting stars were like waterfalls.

Everyone was running away from the falling iron flowers, but only the girl in gorgeous clothes and a silk hat was shocked by the sparks in the sky.

"Girl!" Zisu and Banxia pushed the crowd away with both hands, but they were still squeezed out. Just as Wen Jiu was immersed in it, a cloak fell from the sky and wrapped her tightly.

Lu Xu jumped out of nowhere, grabbed her hand and ran to safety.

Wen Jiu followed his steps behind him while sizing him up. Today he was dressed in black and his long hair was pulled up, revealing his natural profile. His face seemed a little sulky at the moment.

"Sir." Wen Jiu's eyes were sparkling. Her hat had already fallen off while running, but she didn't notice at all.

"Look at this iron flower, isn't it beautiful?"

"Good-looking." Lu Xu's Adam's apple rolled slightly. He stared closely at Wen Jiu's smile, not knowing whether he was talking about the iron flower or the woman in front of him.

Wen Jiu's heart trembled slightly, why did he feel that Lu Xu seemed different today?
  "Brother, look, it's Miss Wenjiu!"

Chen Shu had long seen the woman in pink not far away. Even though the place was crowded, he could recognize Wen Jiu at a glance. Her dark eyes were shining with cunning, and she was smiling unbridledly in the sky full of silver flowers.

The beauty of Wen Jiu is out of reach for Chen Shu.

Under Lu Xu's gaze, she glanced unnaturally across the street, and her eyes went straight into a pair of silent and calm eyes. Chen Shu stood quietly under the eaves on the street, with most of his figure shrouded in the eaves. .

"Master Chen." Wen Jiu's eyes flashed with surprise, unexpectedly meeting him here.

Lu Xu followed Wen Jiu's gaze and looked there, his eyes dimming.

Chen Shu.

Lu Xu knew this person, and within two months of arriving in Beijing, he had already solved eight cases that the Ministry of Punishment had not been able to solve for a long time.

Those old foxes can't solve these cases, they just don't want to offend anyone.

On the other hand, Chen Shu, the new official who was very angry when he took office, actually offended half of the ministers in the court.

Lu Xu didn't mean to come forward to say hello. He always kept to himself and didn't like to interact with others.

Moreover, there seems to be a natural opposition between Jinyiwei and Xingbu.

Wen Jiu wanted to come forward and talk, but she was a boudoir girl after all, so she was afraid that she would be too abrupt.
  She lowered her head in disappointment.

For a while, the three of them had their own concerns.
  "Miss Wen!"

Although Chen Miao was Chen Shu's biological sister, her temperament was completely different from Chen Shu's. She ran towards Wen Jiu with her skirt in hand, and it was already too late when Chen Shu wanted to stop her.

"Miss Wen, to be able to see you here, I thought I would never have the chance to see you in this life." Chen Miao's eyes turned red as she spoke.

Only that day did she find out that the girl who saved her twice was actually the apple of Taifu Wen's eye. She usually played with the princesses in the palace and rarely went out during the rest of the time. She originally thought she would have no chance to see her again. , naturally there will be no chance to repay her.

Wen Jiu was so frightened by Chen Miao's sudden appearance that he almost took a step back.

She nodded briefly at Chen Miao as a courtesy.

"I rarely attend those banquets. In the past, I would still go shopping on the streets." A smile broke out on Wen Jiu's lips again.

Chen Shu walked over calmly from a short distance away, his eyes as cold as before.

Wen Jiu held his chest and was afraid to raise his head.
