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

Chapter 53 Is that love?

People came to Anrui Palace and it gradually became lively.

Wen Jiu talked to Jiang Yaoxi for a long time last night, and finally fell asleep but started to have nightmares again.

She dreamed that Jiang Yaoxi was hurt by a ghost, and she dreamed that Chen Shu pushed her away so hard that she didn't sleep a wink all night.

As soon as Wen Jiu got off the carriage, he saw the nun in charge of Anrui Palace waiting there.

"Mommy, I've been waiting for a long time." Wen Jiu nodded slightly towards her.

"You're so polite, girl. Come with me."

The three of them walked on the palace road one after another. The palace was a bit colder than last time.

Whether the weather is good or not, people's hearts are good.

As soon as the group entered the imperial garden, they heard a burst of abuse.

I saw Grandma Zhang frowning slightly. She was already an old man in the palace. She didn't need to meet anyone to know who was making noise here.

"You're a thing that crawled out of a secluded place in a poor country. I want to see how hard your bones are! Kneel down here for me. You are not allowed to get up without my order!"

Wen Jiu saw through the grass and trees that there seemed to be a lot of people standing there, and it was very lively.

It's not unusual for the palace to punish its servants. Even if she can save this one, she can't save the next one, so she'd better not meddle in other people's business.
  "Master Chen is also unlucky. He happened to meet Concubine Li in the imperial garden, alas."

Master Chen? Wen Jiu suddenly thought of the dark red official uniform. Could it be
  "Wait a minute." Wen Jiu called out to the palace maid who had just passed by, and asked with some disbelief: "The Lord Chen you are talking about is Lord Chen Shu from the Ministry of Punishment?"

"Girl, that's right."

"Why did Concubine Li punish him?"

Such a person who looked like an immortal was humiliated by a concubine in public in the imperial garden!
  Wen Jiu barely restrained his emotions and was bound to ask about the cause and effect.

The two palace maids who were stopped looked at each other, wondering whether they should speak or not.

"You tell the truth, and I promise not to mention what happened today to anyone."

One of the maidservants hesitated for a moment and replied in panic: "Back to my lady, the slaves only heard that Master Chen read a copy of Concubine Li's father and brother in the previous court."

Wen Jiu's eyes flashed, revealing a moment of murderous intent. This concubine dared to avenge her private revenge!

"Miss Wen, the Sixth Princess is still waiting for you." Seeing that the momentum was not right, Grandma Zhang quickly spoke out to stop her.

"Mommy, Mr. Chen is my father's disciple. If you are dedicated to serving the country and still being humiliated by the concubines in the harem, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of many people."

There were tears in Wen Jiu's eyes, and he said in a half-serious manner: "Please help me tell the sixth princess that I will come later."

After saying that, Wen Jiu walked in the direction he came from.

In the imperial garden in winter, the bluestone slabs reveal a chilly atmosphere.

Chen Shu was already wearing thin clothes, and he knelt on the ground with only clothes between his knees.

Wen Jiu suppressed the sourness in his heart, forced his voice to steady and asked: "I wonder what Master Chen has committed? To make the empress so angry, she punished him to kneel here in front of so many palace people. Up?"

Concubine Li raised her eyes and glanced at the person who came, but it was the popular person in front of the Sixth Princess recently, Wen Jiu, the daughter of Taifu Wen.

"It's just a collision with me, it's not a big deal." She touched the hairpin in her bun and said in a light tone as if she said the scenery of the imperial garden was nice.

"Confrontation? Mr. Chen has always restrained himself and returned courtesy. I wonder why he collided with the empress?" Seeing Concubine Li's virtue, Wen Jiu's smile gradually faded away, and there was a bit of cruelty in his brows.

"Miss Wen hasn't entered the palace for a long time. It's better to go find the Sixth Princess quickly. It's better not to interfere in the affairs of this palace." Concubine Li glanced at Wen Jiu with disdain in her eyes and a warning in her words.

"Empress Li is just avenging herself for court affairs. If the Holy One knew that the harem wanted to interfere in politics, would your status be demoted three levels in a row like your father and brother?"

Wen Jiu curled up his lips, since you didn't drink the wine as a penalty, then don't blame her for being rude.

"You!" Libi was angry because of the matter between her father and brother, and Wen Jiu, the daughter of a minister, dared to mock her in front of her!

"Don't think that with the support of your sixth princess! I don't dare to touch you! Come on! Give me a slap!"

"Cough cough cough... cough cough..." Wen Jiu suddenly coughed and bent over, his face turned red as if he was about to cough out his lungs.

"Empress Li, this matter is all the fault of one of us! Just punish one of us!"

Chen Shu took a step forward and knelt down, his back still straight. He protected Wen Jiu behind him without leaving a trace, directing all the spearheads to himself.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough... you... don't worry... cough cough..."

At this time, no one in the palace dared to come forward. A maid leaned close to Concubine Li and whispered in her ear: "Master Wen has only one daughter, Wen. She has been weak and sick since she was a child. If anything happens to the empress, Master Wen will definitely fight to the death." I won’t give up on my old destiny, not to mention that this girl is the royal concubine appointed by the Holy Emperor...My dearest lady, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years."

Concubine Li was certainly not stupid to climb to where she is today. Wen Jiu has a special status and she cannot offend her. As for Chen Shu, few people in the court are friendly with him. Are you afraid that you can't control him?
  "Master Chen, cough cough cough..." Wen Jiu continued to cough, "If I just go like this... you will tell my father what happened today... you have always been my father's most proud disciple... my father must believe it. you…"

The way Wen Jiu looked at Li Bi, he knew what she was planning, so how could he let her succeed?
  After moving out Mrs. Wen, Libi could not act rashly no matter how angry she was. She twisted the handkerchief tightly and gritted her teeth and said: "Master Chen, Miss Wen is interceding for you today. I am your master in this matter." Don't remember the faults of villains. I hope you will be careful in your words and deeds in the future and don't fall into my hands!"

"Your Majesty, I obey." Chen Shu's tone was neither humble nor overbearing, as if he couldn't hear Li Bin's knock.

"let's go!"

Li Bin angrily led the people away, not forgetting to give Wen Jiu a hard look when she passed by.

After the people left, Wen Jiu slowly calmed down his breathing. This concubine, no wonder someone wanted to get rid of her. She was really annoying.

Chen Shu turned around silently and bowed to Wen Jiu.

"Thank you, girl. If this happens again next time, girl doesn't have to intervene."

If it drags you down, what should I do? How should I handle myself?
  "Master Chen doesn't seem to like me very much, but did Wen Jiu offend him in some way?"

Wen Jiu thought about it for a long time and finally asked this question.

At this time her heartbeat was extremely fast.

Chen Shu was dressed in official uniform, with a wide robe and large sleeves. He covered his hands in his sleeves and slowly clasped them.

His mother's words kept ringing in his mind.

"No, okay?"

"No, okay?"

"No, okay?"

"No, I don't like girls." What Chen Shu said so naturally went against what he was thinking, "Girl has helped me many times, I'm afraid I'm dragging her down."

Wen Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes couldn't help but light up a little.

Zi Su on the side had been lowering her eyebrows and gathering her breath, and only now did she quietly raise her head.

There is no dislike, is it like it?

　Is it because of the weekend? Or am I out of favor? It’s so cool.
