Tianjiu's world was finally quiet. The marshal had been away on a business trip for three days. Three days ago, Ivan took her away from the clinic and moved her into the guest room. She was living quite comfortably.
Tianjiu understood clearly that due to the huge disparity in status, she could not expect unwarranted respect from the superior.
People need to have self-knowledge.
Tianjiu has been staying indoors these days on the grounds of physical discomfort, and a housekeeping robot has taken care of everything.
In fact, that night, she had been diligently training her mental strength, and her hands were already able to move slightly. The price she paid was the intense hunger that followed from excessive training. Eating wasn't enough, so she drank three bottles of high-quality concentrated nutrient solution before she finally felt better.
Today, it has basically recovered. And just like in most novels, the ability gets stronger the more it is used.
After this experience, Tianjiu became more proficient in using her spiritual power, and her body contained more spiritual power. Perhaps if this happened a few more times, her entire body would be filled with spiritual power.
But the difficulty lies in that there is still no way to release it.
Tianjiu really wants to try now whether he can purify his spiritual power while in contact with people.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a few days, Chen Junjun finally couldn't help but come to find her.
Chen Junjun is now a concubine, and if someone insists on seeing her, she can't refuse.
Soon the two met in a small open garden.
Chen Junjun had a tall beauty, and the golden long dress made her look even more slender. Tianjiu was like a child in front of her, and his momentum suddenly weakened a lot.
There was no one else in the small garden. Tianjiu didn't know whether to greet her. He rubbed the fingers of his right hand nervously, and hadn't figured out what to do.
Instead, Chen Junjun walked over naturally, took her arm and gave her a hug as usual.
"Xiaojiu, you won't blame me, will you?"
Wow~ What kind of green tea speech opening line is this? Tianjiu's original sense of familiarity instantly disappeared, and she was so cold that goose bumps appeared all over her body.
Tianjiu tried to pull his arm back without leaving any trace, but it was very awkward. He could only shake his head, pull himself away, and sit on the chair.
Chen Junjun didn't care and sat down as well. A maid appeared out of nowhere and brought afternoon tea.
As the plate unfolded and Tianjiu looked at the contents, his mood fluctuated.
"I haven't had it in a while, but I still like this little tartare cake. Fortunately, I can eat it again now."
Tianjiu also took a sip and stopped. It was hard to put a finger on it, but it didn't taste like what it used to.
"Xiaojiu, we have been friends for many years. Under the current situation, we will have more advantages together." Chen Junjun took a bite and did not move again.
Tianjiu really wanted to tell her that he had no improper thoughts about the Marshal, but he was afraid that he couldn't do anything with her. As long as he could live in peace, it would be fine.
But I think no one would really believe this.
"Xiaojiu, are you in love with the Marshal?" When Chen Junjun asked this, the gossipy atmosphere of the former sisters suddenly came up.
"No, don't talk nonsense." Tianjiu finally couldn't help it. Chen Junjun really knew how to make her speak.
"If our Xiaojiu doesn't speak up, he'll turn into a river clam." Chen Junjun habitually wanted to take another bite of the cake. He raised his hand, paused halfway, and then put it down.
"Junjun, what does the Chen family want you to do?" Tianjiu asked frankly, really not wanting to waste time.
"Stupid or not, what else can I do? Of course, I hope that we sisters can join forces and keep the Marshal's heart steady no matter who enters the Marshal's Mansion later."
"The two of us? You're at such a high level there's still hope. Who can count on me?"
"But we are sisters. It's better to look after each other than to be alone and helpless. When Sister Mu and Chris come, if we don't stick together, will we just die of old age in the palace?"
Die of old age in the palace? Tianjiu never thought about it. In her plan, she had to do meritorious deeds to redeem herself.
As Chen Junjun analyzed the pros and cons, Tianjiu felt time slipping away, as if he had returned to the old days. But when the matter became personal, he lost all enthusiasm for gossip.
"How are we getting along in private, Marshal? You can't hide anything from me."
Tianjiu is so desperate. How can he share his experience with such a thing?
Fortunately, she and the marshal were innocent, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing.
"The Marshal...is not that easy to get along with."
Tianjiu spoke the truth. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, and this one is a tiger whose mental strength is constantly on the verge of collapse, no different from a mental patient who could explode at any moment.
"Xiaojiu won't tell me the truth anymore. It's all over the place. The Marshal really likes you. The eunuchs have even booked you for three nights. Especially the first night, which lasted a full 14 hours."
"What? What did you say!" Tianjiu couldn't help but exclaimed. His face didn't turn red, but turned pale with fear.
What kind of horror story is this? Why would anyone know this?
"Royal family, this is normal. After all, bloodline must be pure."
"But, but, why did everyone know about this? And what the hell is 14 hours?!"
"Xiaojiu, you really haven't changed at all. These are all in the Royal Family's public records, anyone who wants to see them can see them."
It was a bolt from the blue, and he was too embarrassed to face life. Tianjiu quickly searched on his brain.
...Marshal Xing Miss Shen, 14 hours...
...The universe is destroyed.
"How, how could it be, how could it be like this? I've never heard of this before."
"Haven't you noticed? It was a law passed twenty years ago. At the time, many people questioned the bloodline of His Majesty's third prince, so he had no choice but to make the internal affairs public. So what if it was public? It could be falsified, so it was just a formality to appease the people. Later, this tradition was preserved. Anyone interested can check it out on Starnet at any time."
So, I am the only one who still thinks I am innocent, but in fact the whole world has already acquiesced?
It's so embarrassing. What do people around her think of her?
Just as I was thinking about it, Ivan came.
It was obvious that Ivan had adapted to the current situation better than Tianjiu, and was completely at ease, no different from before.
But there is a slight difference, that is, he seems to be more unruly towards Chen Junjun.
"Congratulations, you've also differentiated into an Omega."
"Thank you. I hope you can get what you want too." Chen Junjun ignored the doubt in Ivan's tone, but instead showed an inexplicable magnanimity.
The atmosphere was too awkward and Tianjiu couldn't stay any longer.
"Xiaojiu, the marshal is away these days. When he comes back from his business trip, we must work hard."
Tianjiu couldn't react. All he could think about was that she was innocent, innocent, not what you thought.
As for the marshal, it should be given to the most capable one.

On Abyss Star, the Marshal stayed for three days for a simple investigation, almost treating the prison planet as a temporary residence.
"Marshal, many people have visited the prison. The Mu family, the Chen family, the Chris family, and even the Shen family have all come. But none of them are under surveillance, and none of them have the ability to cause a natural death without any warning."
"Indeed, the autopsy report shows that the death was basically natural. Considering his age and physical condition, it is too unbelievable. The modus operandi requires further investigation."
The continuous high-pressure working conditions were nothing to Chizhou and his men, but something was clearly wrong with the Marshal.
The simple matter of Li Minde being silenced was not worth their trip, but the marshal stayed here for three days.
During these three days, the Marshal handled the rotation of the Fourth Army, commanded a small-scale operation on Planet N18, approved the quarterly armament upgrade plan for the entire empire, personally tested the combat ceiling of the latest A-class mechas, reviewed the records of the Wang family's dereliction of duty and illegal sale of discarded military equipment, and even coordinated the personal grudges between the two generals.
But, I just don’t go home.
These people were handling official business on the Abyss Star, while the people below were running back and forth to the Abyss Star.
The imperial prison on Abyss Star has never been so lively even during the last struggle for the throne.
It was rumored that the Li Minde incident was too serious and the Marshal had to take drastic action.
During this period, His Majesty the Emperor sent messages to inquire, but they were suppressed by the Marshal with a palm.
It would be great if someone could come and replace them at a time like this.
at last!
"Wu Ping is here, do you want to see him?"
The Marshal finally turned his gaze away from the screen full of Zerg data. He pressed his temple out of habit and nodded slowly.
Li Nuo was happy. With Wu Ping's arrival, there were more people under pressure than just the two of them.
However, as soon as Wu Ping entered the room, before he could say anything, the marshal opened his eyes, his eyes filled with coldness, as if he wanted to kill someone.
The two people beside him were also shocked.
"Cousin Marshal, Yi'er is here."
