Chapter 136 Lovesickness
What the empress worries about is also what the Cao family worries about.
Especially since the Cao family pressed him so hard back then, the emperor must have long held a grudge against the Cao family.
Over the years, the emperor has been cold to the crown prince, but doted on Prince Jing, which is really worrying.
As long as Prince Jing is alive, the Cao family can't sleep peacefully.
"Do you want me to make another arrangement?" Cao Qian asked. The
empress shook her head, looking worried: "Prince Jing is not a fool. Too frequent visits will also arouse the emperor's suspicion. Don't take any action for the time being."
"The most important thing right now is to protect yourself and don't let Prince Jing find out about the Cao family."
"Yes." Cao Qian responded, and the two talked for a few more sentences before leaving.
Looking at the open palace door, the empress rubbed her brows and sighed. Prince Jing is becoming more and more powerful, which is really disturbing.
The weather in May is changeable. It was sunny in the morning, but suddenly it was cloudy in the afternoon, and raindrops as big as beans fell before dusk.
Jiang Shu sat in front of the window, staring at the rain curtain in a daze.
The last few times it rained, she played chess and chatted with Yu Zheng.
But since returning to Shangjing, they haven't even seen each other. Counting on her fingers, it has been ten days.
I don't know what Yu Zheng is doing at this time?
"What are you thinking about, young lady?" Chu Yu lifted the pearl curtain and walked into the room lightly.
Jiang Shu came back to her senses and smiled reluctantly, "Nothing, but is it time for dinner?"
"Yes, the old master and his wife sent someone to invite you." Chu Yu took out an oil-paper umbrella, walked to the door and opened it.
Jiang Shu got up and walked over, crawled under the umbrella and stepped slowly into the rain.
Because she was thinking about something, Jiang Shu had no appetite for this meal. When she went to bed at night, she tossed and turned and had trouble falling asleep.
She missed Yu Zheng.
Jiang Shu hugged the thin quilt, thinking about the scenes of the two of them together, and fell asleep in the second half of the night.
The next day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up.
Jiang Shu inspected the shop as usual, but she specially inspected near Cuiyun Building at noon and went to Cuiyun Building for lunch.
After asking around, Jiang Shu learned from Yu Yuan that Yu Zheng had never been there.
It seemed that he was indeed very busy.
Jiang Shu felt a little disappointed and was absent-minded when inspecting the shop in the afternoon. In addition, she did not sleep well last night and felt a little sleepy.
Seeing her like this, the shopkeeper advised: "If you are tired, go back and rest early. There is nothing important in the shop."
Jiang Shu did not refuse. She rubbed her forehead and stood up to return to Jiang's house.
However, before she stepped out of the shop, Tan Yu mysteriously reported that Zhufeng was here.
Jiang Shu's face suddenly brightened up, and she ran out of the shop quickly. Sure enough, she saw Zhufeng standing outside.
"The master is waiting in the car." Zhufeng said, turned around and led the way.
Jiang Shu told the driver to go back to Jiang's house first to report that she had something to do and would be back later.
The master and servant followed Zhufeng into a secluded alley. There was a carriage parked in the alley, which was almost the same as the one Yu Zheng usually rode.
Thinking that Yu Zheng was in the car, Jiang Shu's heart suddenly beat fast, happy and nervous.
Zhufeng opened the door and stepped aside.
Jiang Shu understood and stepped on the carriage seat to get into the carriage.
As soon as she entered the carriage, a long arm suddenly stretched out and picked her up in his arms.
"Did you miss me?" Yu Zheng asked in a low voice.
Jiang Shu's ears were hot and she nodded shyly.
Staring at the man in front of her with almond eyes, Jiang Shu raised her hand and touched his handsome face. The lovesickness in her heart was finally settled, and she suddenly felt a little wronged.
"Are you done with your work?" she asked with a slight sob.
Yu Zheng shook his head, grabbed her hand and said, "The case of Zhao Renxian involves a lot of things. One person is being arrested, and it may take some time to find out the truth."
Jiang Shu's heart sank after hearing this: "Then will you always be so busy?"
Yu Zheng shook his head again: "I have handed this case over to the Dali Temple. I have to go to investigate the landslide."
"Do you have any clues?" Jiang Shu was also very concerned about this matter.
"Well, I received a letter from Shen Changhuai yesterday, saying that the location of the bandit's lair has been roughly determined." Yu Zheng said, while his fingers were caressing Jiang Shu's lips.
"So you are going to..." Before Jiang Shu finished speaking, Yu Zheng kissed him unexpectedly.
When their lips touched, a tingling sensation spread all over his body, and Jiang Shu slowly closed his eyes.
After not seeing each other for many days, Yu Zheng's heart was filled with longing, and the kiss was tender and passionate.
After a passionate kiss, Yu Zheng leaned against Jiang Shu's forehead and uttered two words with a burning breath.
"Suppress the bandits."
Jiang Shu was stunned for a moment, and after coming to his senses, he asked, "When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow."
"How long will it take?" Jiang Shu was reluctant to let go.
"At least 20 days, at most a month." Yu Zheng was also reluctant to let go, hugging Jiang Shu and refusing to let go.
Going to Qi County, the army will move slowly, and it will take more than ten days to go back and forth, and twenty days is the limit.
Jiang Shu also understood, and did not say anything more.
"I'll take you somewhere." Yu Zheng let go of Jiang Shu and let Tan Yu get in the car.
Tan Yu sat unconsciously at the door of the car, with his back to the two of them and his head hanging, like a quail, trying to minimize his presence.
Zhu Feng drove the carriage, passing the noisy streets and heading west of the city.
After leaving the city, the carriage drove for a long time before it slowly stopped.
Tan Yu got off the car first, and when he looked up, he was amazed by the beautiful scenery in front of him.
This place is a hillside with mountains behind and water in front. It was May, and the hillside was lush with green grass and butterflies flying.
Clusters of peonies bloomed, suppressing the wild flowers scattered on the hillside.
The setting sun shines on the sparkling river, as if melting a layer of gold.
Yu Zheng led Jiang Shu through the peony bushes and climbed to the top of the hill to look out.
"Do you like it here?" Yu Zheng leaned over and picked a beautiful peony for Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu took it in his hand and sniffed it, nodding his head as he smelled the fragrance of the peony.
I didn't expect that Shangjing would have such a beautiful scenery.
The two sat down on the hillside, admiring the sunset and the sea of flowers, talking in a gentle voice.
The carriage stopped by the river, and the horses were leisurely eating grass, swinging their tails.
Zhufeng sat on the river with his legs bent, staring at the movement in the river with a piece of grass in his mouth.
He looked for a long time and was sure that there were big fish in the river.
"Is Zhuiyun better?" Tan Yu leaned over and asked in a low voice.
Zhufeng glanced at her unhappily and sneered: "It's not your fault, he's fine."
"You!" Tan Yu's face turned red with anger.
Zhuiyun was indeed injured in order to save her, but she didn't mean it.
Faced with the unreasonable Zhufeng, Tan Yu couldn't talk to him anymore, turned around and left angrily.
Zhufeng was happy to be quiet and continued to observe the fish in the river.
The orange sun gradually set, and the sky gradually turned golden, and then orange and orange-red, as if it was ignited by a flame, gorgeous and spectacular.
"So beautiful." Jiang Shu's almond eyes were staring straight.
Yu Zheng turned his head and saw that her clear eyes were filled with the sunset glow, and her pretty face was filled with a bright smile.
So beautiful.
The busy and tired days disappeared at this moment, and the cold and irritable heart became peaceful and soft inch by inch. The
warm golden afterglow fell on Jiang Shu's cherry lips, showing an attractive luster. Yu Zheng's throat rolled when he saw it, and he went over with a thought.
The soft lips touched each other, as if opening the mechanism hidden in the heart, and a strange sense of pleasure instantly spread throughout the body.
Jiang Shu's hand holding the peony moved, and he let go of the flower as if he was losing strength.
Yu Zheng supported himself on the ground with one hand, and held the back of Jiang Shu's head with the other, using the tip of his tongue to pry open her teeth, and gradually went deeper.
Jiang Shu felt his whole body soften, as if he couldn't sit still, so he reached out and hooked his hand around Yu Zheng's neck.
Twisting, rubbing, sucking, chasing...
