Early the next morning, when Jiang Jiu woke up, he felt his waist was very sore. He wanted to get up but couldn't, and Zhao Zhuoxi beside him was nowhere to be found.

She turned over and felt that everything that happened yesterday was just a dream.

"Are you awake? I asked someone to make some chicken soup. Eat some and then go back to sleep."

These words sound so familiar; they were what she said to Zhao Zhuoxi at that time.

She likes to drink chicken soup, and she likes pigeon soup even more. However, there are no wild pigeons in the mountains, but there are pheasants.

Sure enough, Zhao Zhuoxi was dressed in a neat outfit and holding a bow and arrow in his hand.

"This is the pheasant I shot early this morning. I'll have them make chicken soup for you to nourish your body."

Putting down the bow and arrow, Zhao Zhuoxi returned to the house, propped up his hands and looked at Jiang Jiu who had just woken up, with a smile on his lips and a deep smile in his eyes.

Jiang Jiu turned over and felt refreshed. Looking down, she found that Zhao Zhuoxi had asked someone to change the sheets and mattress, and she had also been washed.

"I'm not hungry, I'm just so sleepy..."

Zhao Zhuoxi picked her up lovingly and said, "It's uncomfortable to sleep with an empty stomach. Come, eat something and then go back to sleep."

Jiang Jiu was so sleepy that she closed her eyes, and Zhao Zhuoxi fed her chicken soup mouthful by mouthful.

I don’t know when, Jiang Jiu fell asleep again.

I slept soundly and when I woke up again, the lights were still on.

"Princess, there is a young man named Xiao outside the yard asking to see you." Qiuyue came over to report.

The one with the surname Xiao, it’s Xiao Yimo who is here.

Jiang Jiu immediately stood up and prepared to meet the person, but Qiuyue said again.

"Princess, don't worry. Young Master Xiao has been taken to the study by the prince."

After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Jiu was no longer in a hurry. She had already been recognized by Zhao Zhuoxi, and it was only a matter of time before others recognized her.

Qiuyue asked again: "Princess, who exactly is Young Master Xiao? Why does it feel like he is so familiar with the prince? We don't seem to have seen him before..."

Of course you haven't seen him. Xiao Yimo is Jiang Jiu's man.

Jiang Jiu asked again: "Is Miss Chuyu here?"

Qiuyue shook her head: "The princess only asked to invite Master Xiao Yimo, but not Chuyu. Oh, Miss Nishang wanted to come and pay her respects to the princess, but the prince stopped her outside."

"Princess, Miss Nishang is so beautiful. Is she the prince's concubine? She came to the prince to show off to you, princess?"

A while ago, Lu Ming and Nishang were both working outside, contacting people in Sucheng, and only returned to Beijing during this period.

Therefore, everyone only knew that the King of Qi had a concubine named Jiang, who was very favored, but they did not know about Nishang.

Hearing this, Jiang Jiu burst out laughing.

"If you say this in front of Lu Ming, be careful or he'll hit you."

Qiuyue suddenly realized: "Ah, she is the wife of Guard Lu Ming..."

Jiang Jiu took a deep breath and testified for Zhao Zhuoxi, "The prince is actually a very loyal man. Just like the Third Prince and the late emperor, he only drinks from one of the three thousand rivers."

After packing up, Jiang Jiu said, "Let's go."

In the prince's study, Xiao Yimo, Nishang and Lu Ming were all there, and the three of them were arguing about something.

Xiao Yimo's voice was high and intense, and his emotions were also intense.

"Xiao Jiu agreed to it, not me. Why should we pay more money to the palace? Besides, our money has its uses, right?"

Lu Ming was angry: "Without silver, how can we buy food and war horses..."

Nishang advised, "Xiaojiu died for the prince. You two should stop arguing here. Hua Manlou has also made a lot of money. If you are short of money, you can use it first. But if the prince doesn't show up, I'm afraid those shopkeepers will set up their own business again."

After Jiang Jiu's mother passed away, the small business was ownerless for more than ten years, and many shop owners started their own businesses.

Now Jiang Jiu has finally managed to stabilize Yiye Pianzhou's business.

As a result, something went wrong again.

Fortunately, everyone knows that Jiang Jiu is the wife of King Qi Zhao Zhuoxi. If Zhao Zhuoxi is willing to come forward, those shopkeepers will definitely be afraid.

But in ancient times, princes doing business were looked down upon.

"If it weren't for him, Xiaojiu wouldn't have died." Until now, Xiao Yimo still can't forgive Zhao Zhuoxi.

Blame Jiang Jiu's death on Zhao Zhuoxi.

So after Jiang Jiu's death, Xiao Yimo did not transfer a single cent of the agreed silver into the palace's account.

Jiang Jiu had been in the palace before, and Xiao Yimo knew that their money was passing from one hand to the other.

Whether it is the royal palace or the business, the account books are all in Jiang Jiu's hands.

But without Jiang Jiu in the palace, Xiao Yimo treated them as outsiders.

If it were in the past, Zhao Zhuoxi would be angry and furious if he heard such a quarrel.

But today...

Zhao Zhuoxi watched them quarreling for a long time with a smile, but he was still not angry, and his thoughts drifted to another place. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked very happy.

After arguing for a while, they stopped.

Lu Ming and Nishang looked at Zhao Zhuoxi's happy expression inexplicably, feeling that he was sick.

Xiao Yimo, like Jiang Jiu, was not afraid of Zhao Zhuoxi. He widened his eyes and asked.

"What are you laughing at? There's nothing funny about it."

At this moment, Jiang Jiu pushed the door open and walked in.

"Xiao Yimo, I'm back..."

The appearance is someone else's, and the voice is someone else's.

But the tone and manner of his voice were undoubtedly Jiang Jiu's.

Jiang Jiu entered Zhao Zhuoxi's room and looked around. Zhao Zhuoxi immediately gave orders to his attendants.

"You all go down."

Jiang Jiu nodded at Qiuyue: "You go back first, leave this to me."

Qiuyue was still wondering when their girl got to know these people outside.

He was driven out by the prince.

There were only our own people left in the room.

Jiang Jiu walked forward and sat next to Zhao Zhuoxi.

"According to custom, the money in the account will be allocated 4% interest to the palace. Go ahead and do it."

"Xiao Yimo, I've blown up all the bombs in the Queen's Palace. You should have made some, right? And some bullets for the pistol..."

Picking up the pistol, Nichang hesitated for a moment and took out her own.

Jiang Yao gave one of her two guns to Zhao Zhuoxi, and Jiang Jiu originally had the other one, but she dropped the gun after she was knocked unconscious.

Nichang had been letting it go all the time, and it was Xiao Yimo who taught her how to shoot.

Xiao Yimo also made several, one for himself, one for Chu Yu, and the rest were kept in the safe at home.

No one knew about this except Jiang Jiu.

Xiao Yimo was shocked when Jiang Jiu asked this.

"You, are you really Jiang Jiu?"

Jiang Jiu rolled his eyes speechlessly: "I am really Jiang Jiu, but my current identity is Su Man..."

"I don't know what happened. I woke up in her body. I guess my life is not over yet, and God found this body for me."

Although this matter was unbelievable, the person was right there, and Xiao Yimo couldn't believe it.

"If you are really Jiang Jiu, I want to ask you one more thing..."

Jiang Jiu pursed his lips and said, "You have a spade-shaped birthmark on your left buttock. When you were sick, Chu Yu wanted to give you an acupuncture, but you refused and accidentally pulled your pants off. She and I saw it together."

This embarrassing thing happened when he was a child. Jiang Jiu was only eleven or twelve years old at that time. He first met Xiao Yimo and then Chu Yu.

Once, Xiao Yimo and Jiang Jiu went out to do some work together and got caught in the rain. Jiang Jiu went home and drank some ginger soup and he was fine. But Xiao Yimo got a fever and a cough instead.

Jiang Jiu asked Chu Yu to help with the diagnosis and treatment, but Xiao Yimo was actually afraid of acupuncture...
