The news that Lan Huaiyu’s wife, brought in to ward off bad luck, was the number one expert in the Jianghu and had captured a Black Robe Sect assassin on the main street spread to the enemy’s ears at an extremely fast speed.
In Yonghua Palace, the Empress stared wide-eyed, “Really?”
Nanny Lu quickly said, “I heard that the assassin was as strong as a tiger, but that wild girl was carrying him around like a toy.
She easily subdued someone that a group of hawks and dogs couldn’t handle, it seems that she is not easy to deal with.”
She really didn’t expect this kind of thing, the Empress heavily slapped the table, “Send more experts to mix in with Ruowu, this kind of person must be eliminated, we can’t let Lan Huaiyu have this kind of help.”
“Yes!”
Princess Ruowu, who was enjoying a male favorite using his pectoral muscles to give her feet an oil massage, rolled her eyes to the sky when she heard that a new order had been sent from Yonghua Palace.
“After she found out that I slept with her nephew once, she has been giving orders endlessly, does she really think I am her subordinate?”
The muscular and good-looking male favorite smiled and gently rubbed her feet on his abdominal muscles, “Princess, calm down, the Empress must have no choice! Other than this, she can’t think of any other way, which indirectly proves that she is at the end of her rope.”
Ruowu deliberately scratched the dots with her toenails, and the pectoral muscles trembled, which was very pleasing to the eye.
She loved to watch this, so she smiled.
“Since the Duke’s wife is an expert and the Empress attaches great importance to her, then this princess will provide a battlefield.
If that little girl wins, this princess will ‘defect’ as a matter of course, so as to avoid that old woman being endless.”
“Princess is wise!”
“This princess has no choice but to be ‘wise’!”
Ruowu continued to have fun. As the only biological younger sister of the current Emperor, the more absurd she was, the safer everyone would be.
The Emperor, who was tending to birds in the Yu Fang, was happy after hearing the report.
“Is her kung fu really that powerful?”
The dark guard nodded, “This subordinate saw it with my own eyes. The Black Robe Sect assassin took medicine, and his strength and speed increased several times in a short period of time.
Hundreds of Suning Guards took turns fighting, but he didn’t show any signs of fatigue, but instead became more and more courageous.
The Princess Consort subdued the enemy with one move, and her speed was so fast that this subordinate didn’t even see her make a move.”
“Good! Good!”
He praised two goods in a row.
He thought about what rewards to give again, looking at his beloved treasures, that yellow-feathered, milky-white-tailed hibiscus bird, wondering if that girl would like it?
As soon as Jiang Chuan saw the Emperor’s gaze, he knew what he was thinking, and sighed repeatedly in his heart.
“Your Majesty, young girls like headdresses and jewelry the most, why not pick a set and reward it to the Princess Consort?”
The Emperor wanted to say, how could those dead things be as good as these treasures?
But thinking about it, what Jiang Chuan said was right. After all, she was young, and it was normal to like beautiful things.
“Go and pick a good set and send it over.”
“Yes.”
Jiang Chuan was finally relieved.
If he sent another bird, the Duke might really throw it out with the cage.
Criminal Justice Division.
The gloomy and bloody atmosphere was even worse than the Suning Guard Mansion not far away.
Normal people would have trembling legs when they got here.
This was the first time Chu Zhi had set foot in this place in two lifetimes, and she was still adapting.
Qingfeng, who had disappeared, came back and brought a food box.
He brought it to Lan Huaiyu, who glanced at it and looked at Chu Zhi, who was 趴 on the window looking outside.
“Zhiyi, come and eat dessert.”
Being called by her name, Chu Zhi was really stunned.
The casual and familiar tone reminded her of when she was in the border pass in her previous life, when Lan Huaiyu, as the supervisor of the army, started calling her General Yingfeng, Yingfeng, Afeng.
Although that wasn’t her real name, it witnessed the process of them becoming good brothers.
It was a pity that they didn’t become good brothers in the end. He probably realized that Yingfeng would not change her position, so after putting his arms around her shoulders at the celebration that night, he ignored her and avoided her.
The food box that Qingfeng brought contained a bowl of fermented glutinous rice balls, and the balls had several colors, which made people’s eyes light up.
The aroma of the fermented glutinous rice, the bright egg flowers, and the sweetness entered her mouth, and she couldn’t help but praise it.
“It’s so delicious!”
And she could be sure that this was definitely not bought from a restaurant, but was made at home.
It was brought by Qingfeng himself, and there was only one bowl, which should have been originally for Lan Huaiyu to eat.
This bowl of fermented glutinous rice balls was made with great care, which made her think of the house in Wutong Lane, the sweetheart that Lan Huaiyu had hidden with all his heart.
“Isn’t it very sweet?” Lan Huaiyu was dealing with affairs. It was noisy outside, and many people had been arrested, but he didn’t pay attention to it now.
“I think it’s just right.”
“Then eat it all.”
He was quite generous.
His sweetheart made soup with her own hands, but he gave it to others to eat instead. Would she be angry if people knew?
Looking at Qingfeng’s face again, it was also as usual.
It seemed that she could eat this bowl of fermented glutinous rice balls without any pressure.
Delicious.
Just as the last spoonful entered her mouth, Xia Ying came in.
She first greeted Lan Huaiyu, and then walked to Chu Zhi, “Madam, Xiaomei brought the third family’s young lady from the Chu family over, saying that she has something important to tell you.”
“The third family’s young lady?”
She remembered, Chu Qiaoqiao.
“Let her come in.”
Chu Qiaoqiao, who was like a mole, was a little scared when she came here for the first time, and rushed over when she saw the eldest sister.
Looking at the ten-year-old girl, Chu Zhi also remembered her previous life.
Because she saw through Chu Zheng’s sycophantic face that used her, she began to be cold.
Chu Zheng became dissatisfied and began to act like a demon, wanting to send Chu Yanyan and Chu Qiaoqiao of the second family to Feng Shi, with the beautiful name of helping her consolidate her favor.
How could she agree? Feng Shi was a pervert, and whoever married him would be jumping into a fire pit.
Because she didn’t agree, Chu Zheng’s face changed greatly, saying that she was raised by lowly people in the countryside and didn’t know what was good for her and was unfilial and unbrotherly.
It was still Feng Shi who was shocked and came forward, saying that the main thing was business and he would no longer take concubines, and Chu Zheng gave up his mind.
And the two girls who were treated as objects by the uncle, it is said that Chu Yanyan was very happy and especially wanted to be a concubine for the prince.
Chu Qiaoqiao, who was a little younger, went on a hunger strike to resist. By the time Feng Shi said that he would not take concubines, she was so thin that she was almost dead.
Now, seeing the girl’s thoughtful appearance, she knew that her hunger strike in her previous life was all true.
“Big sister, let me tell you, Zhang Qing, the manager of the aunt, went to the mansion today.
Based on my experience of eavesdropping, Zhang Qing must have gone to buy poison for the aunt.
The last time the aunt wanted to buy arsenic, Zhang Qing bought it, and I saw a bottle with my own eyes.”
“Zhang Qing?”
This name sounded familiar.
Chu Qiaoqiao immediately nodded and described Zhang Qing’s appearance in detail.
Chu Zhi suddenly remembered and looked at Lan Huaiyu, who was looking at her.
“We just happened to catch Zhang Qing, who went to the spice shop, today. He said he was going to buy spices? Now it seems that he must be lying, and he must be doing something shady again.”
“Don’t worry, let the criminal officer ask him carefully.”
