Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 20 Mr. Lu ([-])

"Hey, that's her."

"Really? It doesn't look like anything special. Why is the prince willing to let her be his personal maid?"

"I heard that her face is extremely ugly, and she can do sorcery. Anyone who sees her face under the veil will be stunned."

"Ah, so strange, is she a monster?"

"But I heard that she is the princess that the prince married before."

"No way, how could the prince marry such an ugly woman?"

"That's right, it's impossible."

"..."

This was Lin Zijiang's first time out of Wutong Garden since the prison robbery three days ago. Because of the severe injuries she suffered before, Chu Yue specially allowed her to rest for three days before starting work.Who knew that due to the incident of breaking into the dungeon these days, rumors about her had spread throughout the palace, and there were several different versions.Some said she was a maid suffering from a strange disease, and some said she was an ugly goblin who knew sorcery...

Now that the veil has become her trademark, she is pointed at everywhere she goes.And there is always the danger of being watched, so Lin Zijiang had to keep his head down as much as possible and walk quickly, even though he walked fast, he still felt a pain in his chest.

After a while, Lin Zijiang came to Chu Yue's door. She thought that Chu Yue hadn't gotten up yet, so she opened the door and went in without knocking.But he saw Chu Yue getting ready to get dressed.Probably because of his martial arts practice, so his figure is very strong.It's just that there are many large and small scars on his bronze-colored skin, and some of them even have deep bones.Although Lin Zijiang suffered many injuries in his previous life, he was still shocked to see so many scars on Chu Yue's body.

Chu Yue didn't expect Lin Zijiang to break into his room here, and he was taken aback for a moment, then said angrily, "Who told you to come in? Get out."

Hearing that Lin Zijiang was a little puzzled, shouldn't the personal maid serve him, eat and dress him?That's why I wanted to come in before he got up.But seeing Chu Yue losing his temper, she had no choice but to go out and wait.

About a quarter of an hour later, Chu Yue opened the door and came out.He said coldly to Lin Zijiang outside the door: "In the future, without my king's permission, you can't break into my king's room."

"Oh." Lin Zijiang replied in a low voice.Not having to go in to serve Chu Yue made her feel a little relieved.

"Let's go." Chu Yue stopped looking at her, just said this lightly, and strode out.

Seeing this, Lin Zijiang hurriedly followed, meeting the surprised eyes of the people in the palace along the way, Lin Zijiang and Chu Yue came to the gate of the palace.There was a carriage waiting there early.Sitting in front of the carriage was a young man who thought he was driving the carriage. He was also a guard of the palace, and his name was Wang Ji.

"My lord."

Chu Yue was about to step out the door when he heard a woman calling from behind him. He couldn't help but frowned, and turned around dissatisfied. Lin Zijiang also turned around.

I saw a woman wearing a light green tube top skirt hurriedly walking towards this side, graceful and swaying, looking forward to the sky, and the jewels on her head made a small collision sound with her movements, like a green bird. Come like a butterfly.

But when Lin Zijiang saw her, anger rose in his heart. That's right, this is Xue Yuliu who almost killed her a few days ago.

And Xue Yuliu's delightful delicate face also froze at the moment when she saw Lin Zijiang, and all kinds of feelings rushed into her heart for a while, including contempt, resentment, and jealousy.

"Why is she here?" Xue Yuliu asked in disbelief.

"She is the king's maid, is it strange that she is by the king's side?" Chu Yue's answer was full of indifference and alienation.It was as if standing in front of him was a stranger.

Lin Zijiang thought that Chu Yue was just so indifferent to outsiders like himself, but he didn't expect the same with the beautiful concubine Ji.

"Her? . . . maid? But she is not . . . "

Before Xue Yuliu finished speaking, Chu Yue interrupted her: "This king is whoever she says she is."

"But my lord, why do you keep her by your side?" Xue Yuliu asked unwillingly.

"You seem to meddle too much." Chu Yue raised his eyes impatiently and said, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Xue Yuliu naturally heard Chu Yue's dissatisfaction, and then turned into a smile and said: "Is the prince going there again today? The concubine will go with you."

"No need." Chu Yue glanced sideways at Lin Zijiang, "It's fine for her to accompany me."

After speaking, he stopped looking at Xue Yuliu, turned around and walked towards the carriage parked outside the door.

Lin Zijiang was really relieved to see Xue Yuliu's deflated appearance, but she quickly regained her composure and followed Chu Yue into the carriage.

Seeing the carriage start slowly, Xue Yuliu never took her eyes off until the carriage drove out of her sight.

"Ma'am, the carriage has gone far, let's go back." Pu Tao, who was standing beside her, advised cautiously.

Xue Yuliu's eyes still did not leave the direction of the carriage, but he said in a dazed way: "Pupao, why do you think the prince wants to keep her by his side?"

"I don't know the servant girl. The prince has always been alone, and he doesn't like to be served by servants, but now he suddenly let this ugly girl be his personal maid. The servant girl can't understand why. I heard that she broke into the palace three days ago. I thought the prince would kill her because of this, but I didn’t want to keep her by my side. But Madam, don’t worry, the prince’s temperament has always been uncertain, and she might anger him when she stays by his side , then she won't live long." Pu Tao's eyes gloated, as if she had foreseen Lin Zijiang's fate of provoking Chu Yue's death.

"I hope so." Xue Yuliu sighed softly, and finally looked away.

In the carriage, Lin Zijiang sat opposite Chu Yue.Lin Zijiang was still a little uncomfortable at first, but after Chu Yue got into the carriage, he closed his eyes and rested his mind, which made her relax a lot.This was the first time Lin Zijiang looked at Chu Yue so closely.Why does such a handsome facial features always have a lot of sorrow? Even when he closes his eyes, his brows are tightly furrowed.

As if sensing Lin Zijiang's gaze, Chu Yue opened his eyes.Just as her scrutinizing eyes met, Lin Zijiang quickly looked away.He turned his head and raised the car curtain, pretending to be looking at the scene outside the car.

But Chu Yue's displeased voice came from behind: "Close the curtain."

"Oh." Hearing this, Lin Zijiang had no choice but to close the car curtain angrily.Then she turned her head in embarrassment and asked, "Did you bother the prince?"

"This king doesn't like light." After Chu Yue finished speaking, he continued to close his eyes and meditate.

Although Lin Zijiang thought he was strange, he didn't say anything more, and he didn't dare to move too much. He sat on pins and needles in the carriage, deeply afraid that if he was not careful, he would make him unhappy.

After finally arriving at the destination, Lin Zijiang followed Chu Yue out of the carriage and immediately stretched, feeling refreshed. She was almost restrained to death in the carriage.

After stretching for a while, she realized that they came to the outskirts, and there seemed to be only one family in front of them, and the plaque of this shop was written with five big characters "Lu Ji Blacksmith Shop".

It's just that Lin Zijiang felt strange, since it was a business, why should the door be closed in broad daylight?

Immediately, the little brother named Wang Ji who was driving the carriage just now walked to the door and gently knocked on the door.

After knocking on the door for a long time, I finally heard the sound of fumbling and opening the door.

The person who opened the door was a young man in blue cloth. He only opened the door a small crack, looked at the three people in front of him through the crack, and then said impatiently, "Why are you here again?"

"Please also inform Mr. Lu that the King of Yue is coming to visit." Wang Ji said.

"Master said he didn't see any visitors, why are you still here?"

"Mr. Lu is gone, so we will wait here according to the old rules." Wang Ji still said respectfully.

"You can wait if you want." After the boy finished speaking, he closed the door.

And Wang Ji seemed to be used to it, he took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms and spread it on the stone bench in front of the shop, and said to Chu Yue, "My lord, please sit down."

But Chu Yue also sat down in response, with a peaceful expression on his face, without any trace of displeasure.

Lin Zijiang looked at Chu Yue in surprise. He was not angry. What kind of person could reject King Yue and make him wait outside the door so patiently.
