My Lady is well

Chapter 133 Enemies

What's wrong with this woman? Hasn't she always wanted to move out?

He looked at her sideways for a few times, and seeing that she was smiling, although he still had doubts in his heart, his inexplicable anger was much lessened.

His voice softened a bit: "Oh, didn't you make a fuss about moving out before? What's the matter? Have you been living in Zelu Palace for too long and can't bear to leave?"

Can't bear to leave? His words were vague, and I didn't know whether he was saying that he couldn't bear to leave the person or the palace?

Shen Yueyao didn't have the energy to figure out what he was thinking.

But leaving Zelu Palace now is not a wise choice.

Didn't he forbid her to move out before? Did he find her useless after living in Zelu Palace for a long time? She was lazy and difficult to serve, so he decided to let her go to fend for herself?

Shen Yueyao thought for a while and said, "I see that the emperor needs someone of his own by his side. I am willing to stay. When the emperor is bored, I can accompany him to relieve his boredom."

"To relieve boredom?"

You will feel suffocated when you talk to her, right?

Shen Yueyao nodded with her long eyelashes flashing. He sat on the soft chair beside her, raised one eyebrow and looked at her, wanting to see what tricks she was trying to play.

"Oh? I am indeed a little depressed right now. How does Lady Shen plan to relieve my boredom?"

Shen Yueyao frowned slightly and looked at him, then asked softly.

"May I ask what is troubling the Emperor?"

Jing Ruzhang lowered his brows and thought about it. Since she came close to him, he naturally couldn't refuse her, so he decided to give her a difficult question.

"Princess Mingxuan, I have no intention of marrying you, nor do I want the two countries to go to war. What should I do?"

"..."

Shen Yueyao gasped. It was this Princess Mingxuan again. She was truly her enemy.

She lowered her head and thought for a moment.

"It seems that the emperor wants Princess Mingxuan to give up and return to Beishuo by herself?"

Jing Ruzhan smiled in his heart but did not show it on his face. He stretched out his bony fingers to pick up the ink-glazed teacup on the small table and put it to his lips. The heat slowly rose and spread between his cold brows. His eyes were fixed on the green tea.

"Lady Shen is smart. I... do have this idea. The Queen is not in good health and should not work too hard. Since Lady Shen wants to share my worries, I will accept your kindness. How about leaving this matter to Lady Shen?"

Shen Yueyao looked at him with eyes wide open, she didn't expect that he was so good at climbing up the ladder.

She just wanted to talk to him to relieve his boredom. What did this person want to do?

Doesn’t he know that Princess Mingxuan has a grudge against her?

She wanted to live two more days, not to mention that she was pregnant.

Therefore, she hastily declined: "What does the emperor mean? There are the Empress and Concubine Li above, and at worst there are Concubine Wen and Concubine Jiang. This kind of thing should not be the turn of a little beauty like me, right? Besides..."

Jing Ruzhang interrupted her: "Mrs. Shen's abilities are beyond the reach of other concubines in the harem. I have high hopes for you, go ahead!"

No, I won’t go even if you kill me.

How to do?

Malingering!

She held her stomach and shouted.

"Ouch, my stomach hurts."

His heart tightened, he stood up, took her in his arms and sat her on the soft chair, and hurriedly said, "Xuan Imperial Doctor!"

"No, no need. I just need to rest for two days."

Seeing her evasive expression, he immediately understood that she must be pretending to be sick to avoid being around. He thought to himself that this matter should really be left to her.

It doesn't matter if it fails, he has his own way to deal with it. If it succeeds, it will be beneficial to her future promotion.

"I am not very reassured. I'd better summon an imperial physician to take a closer look at you and prescribe a hundred or so prescriptions for you to take care of yourself day by day."

She hates drinking those bitter and astringent things the most.

A hundred or so prescriptions?!

What was she? -- a medicine barrel?

Shen Yueyao took two breaths and waved her hands quickly.

"No, no. I've rested for a while and I feel much better."

He frowned his thick dark brows, his eyes fixed on her little face, with a hint of concern, but in fact he appreciated the annoyance in her eyes.

He put his hands behind his back and leaned down slightly to check with her.

"Are you really not going to use it?"

Shen Yueyao frowned slightly and shook her head: "No need."

Then she smiled and nodded: "I am fine now."

"That's good. I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter. I have something else to do in my study, so I won't be able to have dinner with you. If you want to add any dishes, just tell the palace maid. You don't have to be polite to me."

She smiled perfunctorily, he was really generous.

Jing Ruzhang turned around and raised his lips slightly, but suddenly felt that his smile seemed unfamiliar, so he immediately stopped smiling and became no different from usual.

But it did not escape Luo Zhong's eyes. Seeing the smile flash across the corner of his lips, he was stunned. After watching the man walk away, he hurriedly followed him.

I thought to myself, Oh my god, I've lived long enough to see everything.

Shen Yueyao didn't have much appetite for the meal. She just ate a few bites casually, thinking about how to deal with Princess Mingxuan.

After much thought, I decided to settle the grudge with her first and then say something to make her give up.

But if I walked out alone like this, I would probably be kidnapped as soon as I stepped out of the door.

She paced back and forth in the hall and looked at the palace maids standing guard inside.

He sighed and gave instructions to Jin'er.

"Count the number of people in Zechen Palace and pick out ten or so who look tall and strong. Follow me to Mingqiong Garden later."

Jin'er had a sense of what she was going to do and nodded solemnly.

"Master, rest assured, I will definitely pick the best for you."

Jin'er was efficient and in a short time she had gathered nearly thirty people in the yard. The palace maids and eunuchs stood in two rows, waiting for her inspection.

The palace servants were all speculating.

"What is Lady Shen going to do?"

"I've been working at Zelu Palace for so long, and I've never encountered anything like this. Doesn't this count as being absent from duty?"

"It looks like I have to do some extra work. I wonder if I will get an extra salary."

"..."

Dongxue was confused when she saw this and felt her heart pounding. It seemed like her master was going to do something important and how could she be left out of this matter?

He walked quickly to Shen Yueyao and bowed.

"Master, what do you want to do? Take the servant with you."

Shen Yueyao glanced at her slightly red fingers and said in a low voice.

"The wounded soldiers don't need to go. You should have a good rest."

"..."

Dongxue looked at her aggrievedly and said softly.

Jin'er picked out a dozen tall people and said loudly.

"The selected ones should stand in two rows, and the rest of you can go and do whatever you need to do."

Jin'er came over with high morale and bowed slightly with a smile.

"Master, what do you think?"

Although Shen Yueyao felt it was a bit solemn, it was also out of consideration for her own safety. If Mingxuan was to fight with her later, it would be good to suppress her momentum and make her hesitate.

Jin'er looked at her expectantly and asked.

"Master, are we going to attack Mingqiong Garden?"

"..."

The palace maids below all looked at her in surprise.
