Chapter 56 Chapter 56 His Changes

When Jiang Wu heard that Shen Tingxue had been named the Imperial Master, he threw the peanuts he had just picked aside without even bothering to care for them. His expression was filled with shock, and he asked, "What did you mean by that sentence just now?"

How come Shen Tingxue became the national teacher for no reason?

After entering the house, Yu Shu stood by the door for a moment, waiting to dispel the chill from her body before coming over. "When I was out buying groceries earlier, I overheard them say that the princess had invented something called dynamite that could blow up a mountain and destroy a city in the blink of an eye."

"Not only that, the princess also presented Your Majesty with an elixir that is said to not only prolong life but also grant immortality."

Jiang Wu pressed on, "So the princess was appointed Imperial Preceptor because of these offerings?"

“No, the princess is…”

After the grand court meeting, He Shiyan, dressed in a black and gold dragon robe that made him look extraordinary and heroic, stepped forward with a smile and congratulated him. "Changle is truly different from other women. You always bring me unique surprises. From now on, whenever I see you, I will have to respect you as the Imperial Master."

"If I were the same as other women, how could the Crown Prince be willing to be friends with me. But no matter how my identity changes, I am still the Crown Prince's friend." When Shen Tingxue thought of the time traveler who appeared out of nowhere, she hated him so much that she couldn't wait to find her so that she could tear her into pieces.

If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been charged with plagiarism, and how could she have taken out her most precious treasure.

"Well, I wonder if I might have the honor today to invite the Imperial Master to share lunch with me." The more things she brought out, the more interested He Shiyan became in her, and the more curious he became about where she came from.

Because he knew from the beginning that the person in front of him was not Changle, and he even knew that she was the second woman living in Changle's body.

Although I don’t know where the first one went, it is obvious that the second one is smarter than the first one, not to mention that she can even come up with things like explosives.

Shen Tingxue looked at the elegant and graceful man in front of her, who was in line with the usual affectionate male second character configuration in the book, and smiled, "No, I have an appointment with my master, so the dinner appointment with the prince will have to wait until next time."

Today, Xie Ji entered the palace early in the morning and did not come back until dark. Jiang Wu sent someone to the Privy Council to inquire, but the other party said that the Prime Minister would be off duty at the appointed time.

If he was off duty at the appointed time, it would be impossible for him not to come back so late. You know, even if he had something to do and couldn't come back, he would send someone to tell her in advance.

Since he did not come back in the evening, Jiang Wu directly asked the servants to put dinner in Hengwu Garden.

After the dishes were served, she habitually stood up to wash her hands. After she picked up the fragrant soap beside her, she realized it belatedly.

He's not coming back for dinner tonight, so he can just not wash his hands.

She didn't wash and just ate.

When people just sit down and pick up chopsticks to eat, they can't pick up any food at all, and their hands feel dirty, smelly and sticky.

Jiang Wu struggled with his thoughts for a long time, but finally put down his chopsticks in frustration. He washed his hands three times with soap before returning to the table.

After swallowing the braised spareribs in her mouth, she thought about Yu Shu's incoherent words today and asked, biting the end of her chopsticks, "Husband, how did the princess become the imperial tutor?"

After asking, she realized that he had not come back yet, and she was the only one eating at the dinner table tonight.

She thought he would come back before going to bed, but she didn't expect that he would come back even though she waited until her eyelids were about to fall asleep.

Could something have happened?

"Madam, where are you going so late?" Yu Shu, who was on night watch, asked hurriedly when she saw that Madam was going out in the middle of the night.

"It's so late and he hasn't come back yet. There's no news. I can't help but worry that something has happened to him." Jiang Wu had just finished speaking when an unfamiliar maid came in from outside holding a lantern.

After bowing and curtsying, he said, "Madam, the master said he has something to do and won't be back tonight. You should go to bed early and don't have to wait for him."

Jiang Wu frowned, "Did something happen in the court?"

The maid shook her head.

Jiang Wu pressed her brows and knew that she was being asked, but she didn't know what, so she waved her hand and let her go.

When she returned to the house and lay on the soft bed, she didn't feel sleepy at all.

This was the first time he had stayed out all night, and today was the day Shen Tingxue was canonized as the Imperial Master. There was no guarantee that there would be no connection between the two.

My mind was preoccupied, causing the little sleepiness I had to disappear.

Unable to sleep, Jiang Wu didn't force himself to do so. He lit a candle and went to the table. He took out the medical book written by his grandmother and started reading it.

After learning about the past between her grandmother and grandfather that day, she also knew why her grandfather didn't let her learn to read and write.

Because he was afraid that she would have an accident like them after studying medicine, after sending his wife and daughter away, he was afraid of sending his granddaughter away again.

The old man would definitely hit his head against the wall and die, and he would feel guilty towards the mother and daughter in his afterlife.

She understood her grandfather's fear, but perhaps because she had the surname Jiang, she also wanted to follow the same path as her grandmother and mother and become a doctor.

In a trance, she recalled the day when Xie Ji took her around Chang'an and asked her.

What do you want to do in the future?

She thought she now had the answer, to be an ordinary doctor.

I don't ask for medical skills to be so superb that I can bring people back to life, I just ask for the ability to prevent people from dying.

Before anyone knew it, the candle on the table had burned out, and a smoky, green mist was rising from the originally dark sky.

When the fog dissipates, the morning clouds will break through at dawn.

It's dawn.

Tan Yun, carrying water, walked in with deliberate caution, lest she wake the wife, who was still asleep. But as she walked around the embroidered red plum blossom screen, she saw that the wife, who should have been staying in bed at this hour, was not only awake, but also had dark circles under her eyes, suggesting she hadn't slept all night.

"Madam, the master is back and is now returning to Luomingxuan to change clothes." The maid who had been guarding Luomingxuan came back to report the news.

Jiang Wu, who had not slept all night, was dazed for a while when she learned that he had returned. She wanted to go find him immediately, but then she saw that she was still wearing the same clothes she wore to bed.

I turned my head and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked haggard and my eyes were bloodshot.

Otherwise, you should take a shower, change clothes and then go see him.

Xie Ji had just come out of the shower when he returned to Luomingxuan when he heard someone knocking on the door. He said lightly, "Come in."

When Jiang Wu came in, she was relieved to see that he was not missing any limbs. "Husband, were you busy last night? Why didn't you come back?"

"I asked the kitchen to make some nourishing soup for you. You can rest after drinking it."

Xie Ji listened to her chattering since she came in, and impatience flashed between his eyebrows, "When did I need to talk about my affairs with a woman like you?"
