Chapter 125: The Cold War (I)
Jiang Jingshu returned to the room, quickly changed her clothes, scattered her hair, and returned to the window. Zou Chen is still asleep.
Sleepless nights.
In the early morning, Jiang Jingshu felt Zou Chen sit up in a daze, she opened her eyes and subconsciously asked; "Your Highness, isn't it Xiu Mu today?"
"There are some government affairs that need to be dealt with, Shu'er, have a good rest. Wait for me to come back. After speaking, he leaned over, lowered his head and kissed Jiang Jingshu's forehead.
"Good ......," Jiang Jingshu muttered, and soon fell asleep.
At noon, the voices outside were noisy. Jiang Jingshu walked out of the East Palace alone, lowered her head, and got into the carriage parked outside the palace.
After asking Zou Chen's attendant about Zou Chen's itinerary today, Jiang Jingshu quietly set off to find him.
It is undeniable that last night, Teng Yu's words seemed to take root in her heart, and she really wanted to know, why did her eldest brother die? The honor and disgrace of the Marquis of Anguo have long been integrated with the royal family, and if the royal family wants to give up, the fate of the Hou Mansion will end.
But if you ask Zou Chen, will the other party really tell you?
Moreover, she never expected that the place where Zou Chen was going today was actually the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion.
At that time, Zou Chen was sitting in the main hall, talking with Jiang Shang. Suddenly, Jiang Shang's gaze moved to the door, and he said with some uncertainty: "Shu'er......?" ”
Zou Chen was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and glanced at Jiang Jingshu.
Jiang Jingshu hesitated a little and lowered her head.
On the other side, the two continued to talk, only to hear Jiang Shang say: "Your Highness, please come with me." So he got up and walked in the direction of the door.
Seeing this, Jiang Jingshu greeted her father, and then stood aside and waited. Zou Chen then followed, and was about to cross the threshold, but the next moment, he was called by Jiang Jingshu.
"Your Highness......"
"Shu'er, why are you here?"
"Your Highness, it's me who shouldn't have followed you here. But I have a puzzle, and I don't know if I can ask your Highness for verification. ”
"What confusion?" For no reason, Zou Chen seemed to be a little irritable at this moment, and his tone was not very good.
Seeing Zou Chen's impatient expression, Jiang Jingshu's heart sank. subconsciously decided that the other party was hiding something from him, and just wanted to send her away as soon as possible.
Thinking like this, my heart became a little sour.
She looked away and said softly, "No...... What the. ”
Zou Chen glanced at her, and he didn't know what the expression was on his face. Say no more, turn and go.
When the two came back, Zou Chen was saying goodbye to Jiang Shang at the door. Jiang Jingshu was silent for a long time, stepped forward, and sat in the carriage with Zou Chen.
Along the way, neither of them spoke, and the air was very silent.
"Your Highness, can I disturb you now?"
"Why are you talking today?" Zou Chen finally couldn't hold back and said.
"His Royal Highness has been going to the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion quite frequently recently, is it for Du Ruo and the fourth brother?"
"Something." Zou Chen was vague.
If it was in the past, Jiang Jingshu would not have chosen to continue to delve into it, but Teng Yu's words were like spells, constantly circling in her mind, and she still spoke: "What is it?" ”
"Politics-related." Zou Chen only replied with a few words, and then stopped talking.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Jingshu was also angry, turned her head, and never said a word to him on the way.
