Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

Jiang Jiu broke out in a sweat again and fell asleep again without waiting for Zhao Zhuoxi to come back.

I don’t know how long I slept this time. Jiang Jiu woke up and felt very energetic. When he looked at the time again, it was still noon.

Someone is talking outside.

"Master, Madam Sun has fallen seriously ill and is now deceased. Her husband is bringing her body to the capital. I'm sure that Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Personnel will conduct a detailed investigation."

"What's the point of a detailed investigation? You still have the nerve to investigate what your own family did. You're hurting yourself instead of others. When did this Zhou family become their world?"

"Master, our carriage has already arrived in Huaicheng. In four or five days, it will reach the capital. Do you still want to postpone it?"

"Yan, let him stay sick for another five or six days. It won't be too late to arrive in the capital in ten days. This prince needs to arrange a few things."

"Yes."

The sound outside disappeared, and soon Zhao Zhuoxi entered the house.

No one knew where the original owner of this room had gone. The room was warm and the kang under him was also very hot. Jiang Jiu was sweating and felt much more energetic, with bright eyes.

"You're awake. Are you feeling better?" Zhao Zhuoxi brought a bowl of medicine and placed it on the head of the kang.

Jiang Jiu sighed and nodded: "Much better. I've been sick for so many days. Should we go back now?"

Zhao Zhuoxi helped Jiang Jiu sit up, touched her neck, and saw that she was sweating, so he quickly covered her with a cotton jacket.

"It's been four days. We really have to leave."

Zhao Zhuoxi and Jiang Jiu disguised themselves as the Ninth Prince's large army and would arrive in the capital a few days in advance in order to deploy matters in the capital in advance to ensure safety.

Now Lu Ming and others have arrived in the capital, and Jiang Jiu was delayed for a few days due to illness.

"I'm a little hungry." Jiang Jiu's health improved and he was able to eat.

Zhao Zhuoxi held the medicine and coaxed her: "Drink the medicine first. I've steamed egg custard for you in the pot. You can eat it after you drink the medicine."

Jiang Jiu glanced at Zhao Zhuoxi indifferently. She didn't know why, but she felt that Zhao Zhuoxi was particularly gentle today, as if he was different from before.

As for what was different, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

After taking medicine and eating, Jiang Jiu planned to go downstairs for a walk and some exercise.

Zhao Zhuoxi put a cloak on her, wrapping her tightly. When she went out, she found that it was snowing heavily in the capital. The white snow seemed to have wrapped the earth with thick white gauze.

"It's snowing." Jiang Jiu stretched out his hand and caught the drifting snowflakes.

The snowflakes fell into her palms and soon melted.

Zhao Zhuoxi stood beside her and reached out to gently touch her chin.

"You've been sick for so long, you've lost weight. You must make sure to replenish your energy when you return to the capital."

Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "When we get to the capital, you go back to the prince's mansion and I'll live in the other courtyard."

Yiyepizhou has a private courtyard on the outskirts of the capital. Nanny Qian said that her mother has always lived there, and Jiang Jiu seems to have an impression of that courtyard as well.

Zhao Zhuoxi shook his head: "Plans are not as good as changes. Tomorrow is the first day of the twelfth lunar month. I heard that the daughters of the Chang family will go to the mountains to worship. Don't you want to see Jiang Mingyue?"

Jiang Mingyue entered the Chang family under her name, and Jiang Jiu wanted to know how she was doing in the Chang family.

You have to know that how the Chang family treats her is how they will treat Jiang Jiu in the future.

Jiang Jiu will not go back to the Chang family, but Jiang Mingyue is greedy for wealth and doesn't know the truth. I believe Chang Mingyuan will compensate her well.

Jiang Jiu got up early the next morning. After recovering from his illness, he became lively again. He even wore men's clothes when climbing the mountain today.

Zhao Zhuoxi followed her and changed into a scholar's outfit, and the two of them walked together.

The small village they were in was at the foot of the mountain where the Guanyin Temple was located. In terms of distance, it was much closer than the Chang family in the capital.

Moreover, today, on the first day of the new year, some people came early in the morning with offerings of fruits and incense to make wishes.

Jiang Jiu and Zhao Zhuoxi walked slowly. Zhao Zhuoxi recalled the incident in Su City when he followed Jiang Jiu to burn incense and was assassinated.

"You never asked who sent those assassins. Do you know?"

Jiang Jiu glanced at him calmly: "Besides Princess Qiyang, who else is there?"

Zhao Zhuoxi shook his head: "It's the Queen."

Jiang Jiu was puzzled: "I have no grudges against the Queen, it must be because of you."

Ever since Zhao Zhuoxi arrived in Su City, he has been hunted by Queen Zhou. He has been hiding from her, and the two of them have been playing hide-and-seek for fifteen years.

That time, it really wasn’t the case.

Zhao Zhuoxi didn't say it clearly.

He reached out and held Jiang Jiu's hand: "Are you tired? If you are, let's take a break."

Jiang Jiu was physically tired. After all, he had suffered a serious illness and his vitality was greatly damaged.

"I'm in a good mood, but my legs are weak and my waist is sore."

Jiang Jiu glared at Zhao Zhuoxi angrily. Zhao Zhuoxi's ears turned red. She put her big hands on her slender waist and rubbed it slowly.

"From now on, I will never be reckless again."

Jiang Jiu lowered his eyes, his cheeks flushed.

Zhao Zhuoxi took the opportunity to hug the person in his arms, lowered his head to look for Jiang Jiu's soft cherry lips, and suddenly heard the disgusted voice of a passerby.

"Hey, two men, are they my husbands?"

Xiaoxianggong means short sleeves, which is the folk name.

Jiang Jiu then realized that she was wearing men's clothes today. Just as she was about to push Zhao Zhuoxi away, Zhao Zhuoxi had already pulled her behind a big tree.

Once the cloak is pulled, no one knows who they are.

After a long time, Jiang Jiu was out of breath and supported himself on his body with his hands.

"Let's go, why don't you kiss enough..."

Zhao Zhuoxi pinched her chin. For some reason, the self-control that she had been so proud of for the past twenty years suddenly collapsed at this moment.

"When I see you, I want to kiss you. Your eyes are full of stars. When you look at me, my heart itches and becomes soft as water..."

Jiang Jiu playfully covered his eyes: "Okay, okay, I won't look at you from now on, okay."

Zhao Zhuoxi pecked the back of her hand again: "I will try my best to control myself."

Jiang Jiu chuckled, pushed him away, and pulled him to continue climbing the mountain.

The higher you go, the more people there are. Like all temples, if you want to enter the temple, you need to climb countless steps before you can see the Bodhisattva.

As they walked, Zhao Zhuoxi pulled her and said, "Look, they're here."

The daughter of the Chang family, led by Mrs. Chang, also came to worship Guanyin.

Everyone's carriages were at the foot of the mountain. Even if they were princes and nobles, they had to walk in front of the Bodhisattva.

This is probably the only proof that everyone is equal in Buddhism.

But it was still different. Madam Chang had guards and maids in front of her to clear the obstacles for them.

There were maids supporting him and guards following him on both sides. It was a grand procession and one could tell at a glance who was the master and who was the servant.

Chang Mingyuan's wife walked first, followed by two women. Jiang Mingyue walked at the end, without any maid to support her. However, there was a maid following her with a bamboo basket hanging on her arm.

Jiang Jiu looked up: "We're almost there, let's wait for them."

Unexpectedly, behind them, Jiang Jiu saw a pair of familiar faces.

Xiao Yimo looked at Chu Yu's back helplessly and chased after her.

"Auntie, now that we know Xiaojiu's whereabouts, we don't have to rush. We must always take care of our own health."

Chu Yu was so angry that she kicked Xiao Yimo: "It's all your fault. You're a grown man, but you don't know how to be restrained. Now you're pregnant, unmarried, so embarrassing..."
