Chapter 119 Jealousy

The room was silent and dark. Jiang Shu lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

As soon as she closed her eyes, Yu Zheng's appearance appeared in her mind. His words, actions, and movements made her feel uneasy.

Suddenly opening her eyes and sitting up, Jiang Shu patted her hot face and took a deep breath.

What happened to her? This was

the first time Jiang Shu had been like this in her life for more than 20 years.

This tormenting sweet feeling made her feel strange and pleasant.

Thinking of getting up early to go out of the city to gather tomorrow, Jiang Shu tried to calm down and lay down again.

She said to herself in her heart, don't think, don't think, don't think about anything.

But her head and heart seemed to have lost control and didn't listen at all.

Tossing and turning until the second half of the night, Jiang Shu fell asleep in a daze.

In her dream, she saw Yu Zheng again.

Yu Zheng, wearing an indigo-colored brocade dress with tight sleeves, stood tall and graceful under the seven-leaf tree, and asked her softly, "What wish did you make?"

Jiang Shu's heart trembled, and she blushed and said, "I can't tell you, it won't work if I tell you."

"Is that so, then I can't tell you what I wished for." Yu Zheng sighed with regret.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart.

Jiang Shu looked up at the prayer board on the top of the tree, and she was very curious and wanted to know what Yu Zheng's wish was.

"Boss, wake up."

"It's dawn, it's time to get up."

Tan Yu called several times in a row, and Jiang Shu finally closed her eyes with difficulty.

"Is it dawn so soon?" Jiang Shu looked at the bright sky, in a trance.

She felt that she had just fallen asleep, how come it was dawn so quickly?

"The sun will be out soon, so hurry up and wash up, don't keep His Royal Highness Prince Jing waiting." Tan Yu brought her clothes and urged her to get up.

Hearing the words "His Royal Highness Prince Jing", Jiang Shu shuddered and got up and dressed quickly.

It would be fine if it was any other time, but today Yu Zheng was escorting prisoners, and it was really inappropriate to wait outside the city.

The master and servant quickly packed up, went downstairs to have a casual breakfast, found the shopkeeper to settle the account, and hurriedly got on the carriage to leave the city.

At this time, there were already many pedestrians on the street, and the guards rode horses in front to clear the way, and the carriage followed behind slowly.

"Why is it so slow?" Jiang Shu was a little anxious.

Tan Yu lifted the curtain and took a look, saying, "Maybe it's because of the long rain, there are so many people on the street today."

"Don't worry, boss. We'll be at the city gate after crossing this street. It will be quick once we get out of

the city." There was no point in being anxious, Jiang Shu could only be patient and hope to get out of the city quickly.

Finally, the carriage drove through the crowded long street and arrived at the wide and open city gate.

"Drive!" The driver whipped the horse whip, and the carriage sped up.

Jiang Shu lifted the curtain and saw the scenery outside the city.

I wonder if Yu Zheng and the others have left the city?

Jiang Shu searched everywhere, but didn't see any carriages and horses waiting outside the city.

"I'm afraid that His Royal Highness Prince Jing and the others are also blocked by pedestrians like us." Tan Yu said.

Hearing this, Jiang Shu asked the driver to drive the car to the side of the road and stop to wait.

The master and servant got off the carriage and looked at the city gate expectantly.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, they saw Zhuiyun Zhufeng riding out of the city, followed by a carriage and a prisoner carriage.

"Come on!" The coachman reined in the carriage and Zhuiyun Zhufeng led the prisoner carriage team to move forward slowly.

"Why are there two carriages stopped?" Tan Yu wondered.

The person who got off the first carriage was Yu Zheng, and the person who got off the second carriage was... Zhao Manying.

Seeing Zhao Manying, Jiang Shu was a little surprised: "Why are you here? And you are dressed like this."

Zhao Manying turned around and asked proudly: "How is it? I wore it specially to send you off."

Zhao Manying imitated Jiang Shu's appearance, put on men's clothes, tied up her hair, and even drew her eyebrows thicker.

Jiang Shu laughed: "I have never seen such a handsome and graceful young man."

"Don't you look like him at all?" Zhao Manying was a little disappointed.

Jiang Shu said: "If you really want to pretend to be a man, in addition to dressing up, it is more important to learn to imitate men's words and deeds."

"Is that so." Zhao Manying suddenly realized.

She was wondering why Jiang Shu looked pleasing to the eye when he dressed up as a man, although he was handsome. It turned out that she had grasped the essence.

It is difficult to paint the bones of a tiger, and it is difficult to imitate the spirit of a person.

"To make a long story short, we are in a hurry." Yu Zheng reminded from the side.

Zhao Manying grabbed Jiang Shu's hand and sighed: "It's really hard to see each other again after this separation."

"You can come to Shangjing to find me when you have time in the future. If I come to Lin'an Prefecture again, I will definitely look for you." Jiang Shu said softly to comfort her.

Zhao Manying nodded, opened her arms and said, "A hug is a promise."

"Pfft." Jiang Shu was amused by her, and the sadness of parting that had just arisen disappeared in an instant.

The two hugged each other deeply, and everything was said without words.

Yu Zheng, who was standing aside, looked at them and felt inexplicably jealous.

How long have they known each other? How many times have they met? Is their relationship so good?

"Take care, and have a safe journey." Zhao Manying said, and reluctantly let go.

"You too, you must be well, and I will write to you when I arrive in Shangjing." Jiang Shu's almond eyes were slightly red, and she was finally stained with the intention of parting.

In front of Yu Zheng, the two said goodbye reluctantly, and Yu Zhengjun's face was solemn.

After getting in the car and leaving, Jiang Shu even leaned out of the window and waved to Zhao Manying.

Zhao Manying also waved goodbye to her, her beautiful eyes moist.

She had no friends, Jiang Shu was the first.

Jiang Shu did not look away until the carriage was far away and the figures could no longer be seen. When

passing by the prisoner car team, Tan Yu's eyes widened in surprise.

"Strange, why are there so many vegetable leaves and eggs hanging on the prisoner car."

Jiang Shu looked at the prisoner carriage after hearing this, and was stunned before suddenly realizing.

"It must have been thrown by the people when passing through the street."

Presumably, it was because of this that Yu Zheng and his men left the city so late .

The official road was flat and wide, and the warm April sun shone on the earth, full of vitality.

Zhuiyun and Zhufeng led the way in front, and the guards rode on both sides of Yu Zheng's carriage, and Jiang Shu's carriage guards followed behind Yu Zheng.

Then, there were the carriages and prisoner carriages that transported the stolen money.

The team was huge and fast, heading to Shangjing.

After walking for half a day in one breath, the team stopped in a forest to rest.

There was no town in front and no city behind, so they could only eat dry food for lunch.

Zhufeng picked up firewood and started a fire, and Zhuiyun skillfully set up a hanging pot and cooked a pot of meat and vegetable soup.

"Master, Miss Jiang." Zhuiyun served them two bowls of soup.

Jiang Shu took it, blew on it, took a sip and praised: "Good cooking skills."

Although she didn't eat the grilled fish last time, Tan Yu said it tasted very good.

After she tasted the soup today, she felt that what Tan Yu said was true.

Hearing Jiang Shu praising Zhuiyun, Yu Zheng frowned slightly.

He looked at the soup in the bowl, then at the cake in his hand, and said slowly: "The cake is cold and hard. Tear it into pieces and put it in the soup to soak. It will be much softer."

As he said, Yu Zheng personally demonstrated.

Jiang Shu watched Yu Zheng's movements and followed him to learn.

The cold and hard biscuits were soaked in the boiling meat soup. Not only did the biscuits become soft, but the soup was not so hot either. Everything was just right.

"Your Highness is amazing." Jiang Shu praised with a smile.

Hearing this, Yu Zheng pursed his lips slightly.

"Did you wait outside the city for a long time this morning?" Yu Zheng asked while eating.

Jiang Shu swallowed the biscuit in his mouth and said, "Not long."

The two chatted with each other. A bowl of meat and vegetable soup with biscuits tasted like delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

After the meal, the team rested and set off again.

Jiang Shu, who had not slept well, began to feel sleepy and almost lost her balance when she stood up.

"Be careful." Yu Zheng reached out and supported her.
