She glanced at the Secretary, and saw that his Meteor Sword was not tied to his waist. She never left it when she saw him before. It is said that this Meteor Sword is also one of the most famous swords in the world. It was given by Ye Fusu, so he cherishes it very much.
.
Moreover, it is impossible for Secretary Shu not to know about Ye Fusu's situation. Even if he does not know the full story, he can always make a rough guess. Moreover, according to the rules of the Imperial Prefect's Office, he cannot inquire about Ye Fusu's affairs.
"You just came back?" Chen Jinchu asked.
"Huh?" Secretary Shu didn't understand.
Chen Jinchu smiled and said: "Look at you, you are soaked all over. Go inside and change some clothes to avoid catching a cold. I caught a cold because of the rain a few days ago, so I have been lying in bed to rest."
Secretary Shu said "Oh" and said hurriedly: "No, I have to go out later. Men are not that delicate."
Chen Jinchu smiled and said: "Either you go and take a look. The Imperial Master is very diligent and will definitely be processing documents in the study."
Secretary Shu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "Okay, as long as the master is fine, I'll go and get busy first."
Chen Jinchu smiled and said, "Where are you going?"
"Master asked me to go to Yuzhou to have a look."
"Let's go together, I happen to be going to Yuzhou too." Chen Jinchu said with a smile, "It will be more pleasant to work with you."
The secretary said: "But the master ordered me to go alone."
Chen Jinchu smiled and said: "If that's the case, then don't force it. I'll take the first step."
However, Chen Jinchu did not go far, but turned back to the courtyard and found Si Hua: "When did Si Shu leave?"
Si Hua said coldly: "I went out to do errands yesterday and never came back."
Chen Jinchu said: "Oh no! I want to go in and see the Imperial Master."
When she met Ye Fusu, she told Ye Fusu what had happened before.
Ye Fusu said calmly: "Not too stupid."
"..." I've never been stupid, right?
Chen Jinchu said: "Then what should we do?"
Ye Fusu said: "Everything is as usual."
Since Ye Fusu was so determined, Chen Jinchu didn't want to just eat carrots and worry about it. She simply went out to find food and continued to provide disaster relief. She didn't have the energy anymore. She will never forget how those people at the altar treated her. She will never forget it.
She was still frightened when she got up. Such a person was not worth her trouble!
It was drizzling outside, so Chen Jinchu held an umbrella and walked towards the street.
The dilapidated Jian'an City is a bit fresher due to the washing of rain. It is obviously autumn, but there is a feeling of revival of all things. Every household is at the door. Bottles and cans are placed in the yard to catch the rainwater. On the eaves are
The raindrops fell and hit the water tank, making a tinkling sound.
There were more pedestrians on the street, with bright smiles on their faces. The happy and emotional state made Chen Jinchu think of a word: survival after the disaster.
If there hadn't been that scene on the altar, she would probably have smiled with relief and happiness.
The sound of horse hoofbeats came from behind. Chen Jinchu did not turn around, but instinctively leaned to the side to clear the main road.
A carriage stopped next to her: "I feel so distressed when I see you so lost. Where is the girl going?"
Wei Zhao, who was wearing a lake blue robe, was sitting in the carriage. He was holding up the curtains with a jade bone fan and smiled brightly at Chen Jinchu.
"How come you, Mr. Wei, are everywhere?" Chen Jinchu asked.
She gave the chicken blood stone to Wei Zhao that day. Before that, she looked at it, touched it, and was poisoned. Wei Zhao also looked at it, touched it, and it was impossible not to be poisoned. Since he was also poisoned, with his cunning and cleverness,
, how could you not think that she was poisoned?
He hasn't come to say hello for more than a month, which shows that in Wei Zhao's eyes, he can't be considered a friend.
"Hey, what's going on? I don't owe you any money, right? Or does it mean that Miss Chen doesn't look down on Mr. Wei because she has climbed up to the position of national preceptor?" Wei Zhao said with a smile, but there was nothing in his eyes.
smile.
Chen Jinchu said: "Yes. Mr. Wei can leave, please don't block the way."
Wei Zhao lowered the curtains, raised them again after a while, calmed down his temper, smiled gently and said, "Why are you angry with me? Get in the car and take you to drink tea."
When Chen Jinchu saw that smiling face, he really couldn't bear to continue stabbing him, and said: "The Imperial Master has arranged a job for me. If I leave my post without permission, you can guess what the consequences will be. Drinking tea is something as pleasant as Mr. Wei's alone."
Enjoy it, but you may not be able to find any teahouse in Jian'an City that can meet Master Wei's standard of quality of life."
"Stab me again! Okay, if you don't go to drink tea, where do you want to go? I'll give you a ride to the main office, right?"
Seeing that Chen Jinchu was still hesitating, he said, "Come up here, there are a lot of delicious foods. I bought them here all the way from the capital. There must be something you like." As he said that, he turned around and took out a few pastries.
"Are you kidding?" Chen Jinchu sneered, but the next second she sneered at herself, because she actually got on the carriage because of the stutter.
…
In the post house in Yunlai City, the innermost room is the best room in the post house. It faces the sun, is quiet, and is spacious. The interior decoration is also exquisite and exquisite.
Such rooms are naturally reserved for distinguished guests.
A person is lying on a soft couch. If you look at the back, you will see infinite grace. His long hair is spread freely around his shoulders and waist like splashed ink.
Looking at the face, it's a man's face, but it's prettier than most women, and it's that delicate and good-looking.
But his face was pale, and even his lips were only a light red.
He made a fist with one hand, put it to his lips, and coughed a few times.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates went to Ye Fusu's residence, disguised themselves as Secretary Shu, one of Ye Fusu's four attendants, and asked the woman. She said that Ye Fusu was fine and that everything was fine. Because he was afraid of exposing his whereabouts, his subordinates did not dare to enter.
Investigate in the yard." The man said, with a face exactly like Secretary Shu's.
Xiao Jingning said: "Are you afraid that if you enter the yard and disturb Ye Fusu, if Ye Fusu is not injured, he will directly kill you, right?"
His voice was not loud, but it was melodious despite his weakness. However, neither his weakness nor his melodiousness were enough to cover up the majesty and viciousness in it.
"The lives of my subordinates belong to the prince, and I will die for the prince no matter what." The man said hurriedly, sweat breaking out from fear.
Xiao Jingning leaned forward slightly, and a beautiful young man stepped forward to help him up.
"That's all. What is the identity of that woman? Can you find out clearly?" He noticed that woman. The incident in the hall was widely spread at the beginning. Even if there was no such incident, just because she was Shen Chengshu's woman and she was serving Ye Fusu closely.
This was enough to attract his attention.
"She was originally the daughter of a farmer in Lijiang County, Linzhou. She was sold by her father to Xia Nansheng as a maidservant. Xia Nansheng fed her acacia poison and gave her to Shen Chengshu to be a bed-warming maid -" He had not finished reporting,
was interrupted.
"Select the useful ones at the back." Xiao Jingning said.
The man hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"She was later brought back to the capital by Ye Fusu from Wuling County. For her sake, Ye Fusu did not hesitate to attack Baili Xingyao and sent people to punish Baili Xingyao's sister. Then came the palace test that was well known to everyone in the capital.
The subordinates heard that this woman was extremely favored in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, and Ye Fusu was very special to her. She often ate at the same table with Ye Fusu and asked her to serve her personally," the man said.
"This is all the information that my subordinates sent to investigate." The man held up a handwritten note.
Xiao Jingning opened it, took a look, smiled lightly, and said, "Interesting, it's really interesting."
He originally thought that Ye Fusu was incorrigible and impeccable, but it turned out that Ye Fusu also had seven emotions and six desires.
"Find a way to arrange it so that I can meet this woman by chance," Xiao Jingning said.
"Yes, I will make arrangements now."
Besides, Wei Zhao was carrying Chen Jinchu, and the carriage was moving very slowly. It only wandered for a long time and only walked two streets. Along the way, Chen Jinchu knew that Wei Zhao was the inspector of the household department this time, and he was with Prince Ning.
We came together to inspect the disaster relief work.
"Tell me, young master, why are you so unhappy?" Wei Zhao handed Chen Jinchu a piece of jujube paste cake.
Chen Jinchu took it and ate it silently, still not wanting to talk.
"What did I do wrong? Do you deserve to shame me like this? I will be sad." Wei Zhao said with a smile.
Chen Jinchu smiled and thought to himself: "As expected of Neptune, he is so gentle to every woman, has no airs, and is excellent!"
"I have no objections to you, Mr. Wei, and there is nothing wrong with you." Chen Jinchu said with a smile, "Stop the car, I ate the food, and I took these few bags away. Thank you, Mr. Wei, for targeted poverty alleviation.
"
"I just like listening to you talk, it's refreshing and fresh. You really don't want to have dinner with me?" Wei Zhao said with a smile.
Chen Jinchu shook his head.
Wei Zhaodao: "If you come with me, I will tell you good news."
Good news? Chen Jinchu thought for a while, maybe she shouldn't vent her anger on Wei Zhao, there might be a misunderstanding, so she asked: "There is a question I really want to ask you. You also touched the chicken blood stone that Xia Nansheng gave me that day. What happened next?
Did you find anything unusual?"
Wei Zhao smiled and said, "Then you have to have lunch with me. I'm just going to tell you something. You should be happy to hear it."
In this way, Chen Jinchu followed Wei Zhao to a private house. It was elegant and clean, and it didn't look like it was open to the public. Just looking at this small courtyard, there was no clue that this was Jian'an City, which had experienced three years of drought and had no harvest.
Wei Zhao said to the steward: "Get ready."
The two sat down, and Wei Zhao said that he had also discovered something unusual about the chicken blood stone, but such an unfounded matter could not be put on the table for confrontation, so he caught Xia Nansheng's mistake and went to the palace to complain.
Xia Nansheng is like this, Xia Nansheng is now grounded.
Chen Jinchu sneered: "Is this the good news you said? Do you think I will be happy to hear that Xia Nansheng has been banned?"
No, she will only become more disappointed and angry after hearing this.
Is what Xia Nansheng did just a matter of personnel? If we really intervene in the investigation, will we not be able to find out? For such a heinous person, being grounded is considered a punishment?
This is not treating her as a human being!
People have dignity and inferiority, and Xia Nansheng used dignity to offend inferiority. Therefore, being grounded is a punishment for Xia Nansheng. As a lower-ranking person, she has no right to object. She can only be happy and satisfied.
If people don't treat me as a human being, I will torture this person; if God doesn't treat me as a human being, I will destroy the world! It's just a novel! Chen Jinchu thought bitterly.
"The punishment is indeed light, but Xia Nansheng's situation is quite special. You will understand it later. If you are angry, as long as I have the chance, I will help you make amends sooner or later." Wei Zhao said.
"How did you solve the problem last time you went back?" Wei Zhao asked cautiously.
Chen Jinchu smiled and said, "You want to know?"
"Don't think too much. I don't mean any harm. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. I was just thinking about it in case..." Wei Zhao, who has always been eloquent, actually stuttered.
"Is there anything that can't be said?" Chen Jinchu said, and then he slightly processed the words he told Wen Rui. While Ye Fusu detoxified her, he also gave her another medicine that could stimulate her body's potential.
However, it will greatly shorten her lifespan.
"The Imperial Master is so cruel!"
"Isn't Xia Nansheng even more serious?" Chen Jinchu smiled.
There is also a class gap, she and Wei Zhao are two different types of people.
"Let's go, there are still things to do! Don't you think that the national master gave me this skill just for free rice?" Chen Jinchu said with a smile.
Wei Zhao clenched his fists, but a smile quickly appeared on his face and said: "That's right. It's okay. I will stay here for a while. I will ask Ye Fusu to send you to me for dispatch."
Chen Jinchu was too lazy to pay attention to him and sneered in his heart, "Wei Zhao, are you a good person?"
She had to admit that she couldn't see through Wei Zhao. On the surface, this man was like a bowl of clear water, but Chen Jinchu felt that Wei Zhao was not that simple. The more transparent a man was, the less simple he was.
Chen Jinchu left the house, turned left and walked forward according to his memory when he came.
Walking to the center of an old street, she noticed something strange. The smell of blood in the air was unusually strong, the street was eerily quiet, there were messy yellow mud footprints on the ground, and there were knife marks on the pillars in front of two nearby shops.
A cold light flashed over and Chen Jinchu dodged it.
Hey, if I had known, I would have brought a sword with me. She is not used to it. She always feels that she is a bad girl if she carries a sword. If she misses it... I don't dare to think about it!
Dodge, fly, fight...
Chen Jinchu hesitated whether to run away or stay and fight, but in the blink of an eye, two more people came to attack her.
"Don't worry about this woman, she's just passing by!" one of the men in black shouted.
Only then did Chen Jinchu realize that they had got the wrong person.
Then she can leave. Drawing a sword to help when there is injustice is not suitable for her.
However, when she saw several shining knives slashing at a thin man, she couldn't hold back and took action anyway! It's wrong to meddle in other people's business, but being brave is a traditional virtue that cannot be thrown away!
She pulled out the pearl hairpin, and the pearls popped out, and with the blessing of inner power, they became hidden weapons.
Several people were in pain, and some even lost their knives.
Chen Jinchu turned around, grabbed the man and ran out.
Those people were about to chase after them, but they were surrounded by a group of soldiers. A man in armor said angrily: "Catch them alive!"
He hurriedly walked up to the man and knelt down in fear: "The end will come later. The prince was frightened. Please punish him."
The thin man is fair-skinned and beautiful, with picturesque features. He is a rare handsome man. He is also dressed in fine clothes and has a Qinghua temperament. People will never forget him after just one glance.
