My Lady is well

Qiuju stood up, wiped her tears, and lowered her head.

"I only know a few words. I saw Li Gongfu in The Legend of the White Snake saying the same thing to the county magistrate."

"..."

Shen Yue picked up her pen and was writing the story of Suzhen trapped in Leifeng Pagoda. As she wrote, she couldn't help but shed a tear.

The word "love" written on my pen spread out and turned into a flower.

Perhaps it was out of pity that Bai Suzhen was a demon but aspired to be an immortal. Thousands of years of hard practice were ultimately ruined by the word "love".

Or maybe it was out of pity for this monster and this person, who went through so many hardships but never achieved perfection.

She stared at the splash of water on the paper and sighed in an inaudible voice.

"Alas, this word of love can really hurt people. Bai Suzhen flooded Jinshan Mountain to save Xu Xian, and many innocent lives were killed. In the end, she only hurt others and herself. It can be seen that the more capable a person is, the less likely he should be moved by love. No wonder emperors are all lonely."

Jing Ruzhang's cold and stern face suddenly appeared in her mind, and she smiled coldly.

"Oh, he calls himself a lonely man, so he will be a lonely man in the future."

She sighed deeply and put down the long pen in her hand.

When you think about your own situation, who has the right to comment on others? It seems safe now, but who knows what the situation will be like tomorrow?

Jin'er came in cheerfully carrying a lunch box and said with a grin.

"Master, Master, you see the food delivered these days is much better than before."

Looking at the dishes Jin'er placed on the dining table, there were yellow mud chicken, vinegar spare ribs, Longjing shrimp, lotus leaf steamed pork, lotus leaf soup, and jade dew dumplings.

Her pupils dilated and she was slightly startled.

"Why is the meal so rich today? Could it be that Yang Li wants to poison me?"

Then I thought, "That's not right. They did it so obviously, are they afraid that I won't notice it?"

Jin Er covered her mouth and smiled, "Don't guess, the dishes were sent by Guard Jiang."

"Guard Jiang?!"

Shen Yueyao blinked and then realized that it was Jing Ruzhang who sent it.

"That's not like his style."

Jin'er placed the cup in front of her, served her a bowl of soup, and said with a smile.

"Who cares? It's sent by Guard Jiang, so it shouldn't be poisonous."

The dishes were colorful, fragrant and delicious. Shen Yueyao felt her appetite whetted at just one look.

She ate Jing Ruzhang's food and reciprocated the gift.

The next day, he gave Jiang Ye his latest chapter, "Suzhen is trapped in Leifeng Pagoda".

......

The Purple Palace was brightly lit. Jing Ruzhang asked in a deep voice with his eyelashes drooped.

"Have you found out?"

Jiang Ye clasped his fists and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, the secret agents in the Sixth Prince's mansion found out that the Sixth Prince brought back a child five years ago. But they are not sure whether it is Ziying's younger brother."

Jing Ruzhang's eyes darkened: "If it is him, then it makes sense. We can't investigate this matter any further, so as not to alert the enemy."

"Concubine Yang's side..."

"Withdraw the people as well."

"Yes."

His cold gaze fell on the book in his hand, and the chillness dissipated a lot.

He opened the booklet, his face showing a rare look of comfort and ease.

As the night deepened, Jing Ruzhang's slender jade-like hands gently stroked the slightly wrinkled marks on the paper. From the foreword and context, he guessed that the ink mark blurred by water was the word "love".

For some reason, there was an extra water mark on the word.

Jing Ruzhang closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and squeezed out three words.

"Shen--Yue--Yao--"

......

Ah Qiu——

Shen Yueyao covered her nose and sneezed, then raised her handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth.

The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs might have been possessed by evil spirits recently, otherwise why would they send so much ice to Liu Fengxuan.

"Jin'er, pour me a cup of hot tea."

Jin'er looked at her with red eyes and pouting lips, then put the tea on the tea table.

Shen Yueyao frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong but couldn't put her finger on it.

She glanced at Jin'er and wanted to ask her what was going on. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed that Xia Ye and Dong Xue standing at the door also looked a little strange.

At this time in the past, he would definitely come over and offer his courtesy, helping her massage her shoulders and legs.

Today, they were unusually silent with their heads down. What happened to these people?

Chunfeng and Qiuju would usually visit her at this time and ask her what she wanted to eat the next day.

But today he didn't even show up.

Strange! Really strange!

The next day, Shen Yueyao was looking forward to what dishes would be served that day?

Will there be steamed goose with salted bamboo shoots? Or steamed lamb with wine?

She waited happily for Jin'er to bring the food box, but Jin'er's brows were furrowed.

She comforted him, "It doesn't matter if it's almost there."

She opened the lunch box and her smile froze on her lips.

It's like rotten steamed buns and sour vegetables again.

It was a little hard for her to accept the sudden change that happened overnight.

She couldn’t figure it out, she really couldn’t figure it out!

Jin Er looked at her with a bit of sympathy and called out softly, "Master..."

Shen Yueyao raised her hand, signaling her not to speak, she wanted to be quiet.

"Go, get a ladder."

Jin Er was puzzled: "Master, what are you going to do?"

"Is Jiang Ye going to Feihua Pavilion next door to feed the cats later?"

"Yes, Guard Jiang comes every afternoon at 4 p.m."

Shen Yueyao fixed her gaze on the ground and said in a deep voice.

"Oh, I see."

Shen Yueyao climbed up the ladder to the top of the wall, placed her hands on the eaves, and rested her delicate chin like white porcelain on her forearms.

There are several lazy cats in the courtyard of Feihua Pavilion, black, yellow, gray, spotted...

Looking at their fur as delicate as silk, it is not difficult to see that they are well taken care of.

She stood there for quite a while, and when she looked up she saw the red sunset sinking into the sky, leaving only a patch of bright afterglow floating in a thin mist.

The palace attendant at the entrance of Feihua Pavilion bowed and said, "Greetings, Guard Jiang."

Hearing the voice, Shen Yueyao turned her gaze to Jiang Ye who was striding into Feihua Pavilion.

He is tall and sturdy, and it is obvious that he has practiced martial arts for many years, but he looks very handsome, like a scholar, and walks with light steps.

It may be the characteristic of warriors, and Li Ning is the same.

Shen Yueyao called out, "Guard Jiang."

Jiang Ye looked up and saw her lying on the wall. He was shocked. The behavior of Concubine Shen was really different from that of ordinary people.

He walked to the wall and bowed, "I greet Concubine Shen."

"Guard Jiang, there is no need to be so polite."

"May I ask why Concubine Shen called me here?"

Shen Yueyao lowered her eyelashes and thought about it. This man was a sincere person, so she would not beat around the bush with him.

"I want Guard Jiang to help convey a message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How long will it take for me to leave Liufengxuan?"

Jiang Ye was silent for a moment. This was not a difficult task. He just had to report truthfully to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

He replied, "Okay, I will pass on your message."

After being locked up for too long, I suddenly longed for freedom.

Furthermore, Shen Yueyao felt that the atmosphere in Liufengyuan had been so low recently that it was difficult to treat people well.

Shen Yueyao gave him a grateful smile.

"Thank you, Guard Jiang, for your generosity. I will wait for your news here at the same time tomorrow."

Jiang Ye scratched his head and said.

"No, no need. I can go to the entrance of Liufengxuan and inform them."

"...In that case, I'll have to trouble Guard Jiang."

She thought that it had been so long, Jing Ruzhang’s anger should have subsided, otherwise why did he send her those food yesterday?

Shen Yueyao waited at the door early in the morning, pacing back and forth with a nervous mood.

It was getting dark when Jiang Ye appeared at the door of Liufengxuan, his face looking a little solemn.

Shen Yueyao couldn't wait to go forward and almost stepped out of Liu Fengxuan's door.

The two eunuchs guarding the gate were so frightened that they coughed twice at a high volume. After receiving the warning, Shen Yueyao retracted her raised foot.

He stared at Jiang Ye with shining eyes and asked expectantly.

"Guard Jiang, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say?"

Jiang Ye first clasped his fists and bowed respectfully.

"I have met Concubine Shen."

Then he paused and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince originally said this -

White Snake is still imprisoned in Leifeng Pagoda. She wants to get out? Dream on!

"..."
