Song Yushu folded his hands, his mouth curled up slightly, "Guard Jiang, can you say it again?"
"It's the same no matter how many times I say it!" Jiang Ye looked at Song Yushu arrogantly, not taking the eunuch seriously at all. "It's true that you have the seal of the Chief Secretary, but you have no right to ask about the guards' affairs! A eunuch wants to touch my--"
Before Jiang Ye could finish his words, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere and kicked Jiang Ye away, knocking him onto the stone table beside him.
Jiang Ye smashed the stone table into pieces, fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your people? Everyone in the palace is the prince's people. Who do you think you are? How dare you speak so arrogantly?" Liu Bai's face turned ashen and he glared at her angrily.
I didn't expect that Liu Bai, who has always been calm and composed and is equally talented as Song Yushu, would help Song Yushu in this way.
The guards standing in the yard immediately suppressed their disdainful expressions on their faces and lowered their heads in fear.
"Liu, Lord Liu Bai, please forgive me. I have no rebellious intentions towards the prince." Jiang Ye gritted his teeth, climbed up and begged for mercy.
Liu Bai didn't even look at Jiang Ye, but glanced at the guards in the courtyard, "I didn't know you were so careless and didn't take the prince's orders to heart!"
"Lord Liu Bai, we absolutely have no such intention!" The guards were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"What did you say to me?!" Liu Bai was still furious, and the guards were so scared that they all begged for mercy from Song Yushu.
"Eunuch Song, please forgive me!"
Song Yushu hadn't expected Liu Bai to give her this kind of face. He had always looked down on her. She bowed to Liu Bai and said, "Thank you, Master Liu Bai."
Although Liu Bai's face was sullen, he politely returned the gift to Song Yushu, then said to the guards, "Eunuch Song is the Chief Clerk appointed by the prince himself, so he represents the prince's reputation. If you do it again, I will definitely not punish you with a few sticks as Eunuch Song said!"
With the help of Liu Bai, Song Yushu successfully rehabilitated the guards.
"Lord Liu Bai, thank you today." Song Yushu bowed to Liu Bai sincerely.
"Hey..." Liu Bai pursed his lips, looking unsure of what to do. "You, you don't have to be like this. This is my fault in the first place."
After being scolded by Lu Zhixing, Liu Bai was scolded again by his mother when he returned home. He finally realized that he was no longer the deputy general who fought with Lu Zhixing on the battlefield, nor was he the guard who lived a carefree life with Lu Zhixing after he became blind.
He is the one who will help Lu Zhixing in his bid for the throne. If he is not smart enough, he should follow the smart ones.
Song Yushu was favored by the prince and was asked to work in the prince's mansion. His status there was definitely not as good as that in Prince Jing's mansion, but he did not hesitate at all. As long as the prince said so, he would do it, and he did it very well. He wanted to leave the mansion and clean up the mansion as if nothing had happened. Liu Bai asked himself if he could do that at all.
"We are all serving the prince, so what's wrong with that?" Song Yushu didn't take the previous incident to heart. She looked at Liu Bai seriously and said, "Lord Liu Bai, if I leave the palace, please keep a close watch on the palace patrols."
When Liu Bai met Song Yushu's eyes, he immediately understood that the palace had been cleaned up with great difficulty and must not fall back into disarray.
"Don't worry." Liu Bai nodded seriously.
After talking with Liu Bai for a while, Song Yushu went to Lu Zhixing's study to report the situation.
After listening to what Song Yushu said, Lu Zhixing still didn't trust the people Song Yushu had chosen. "I have some impression of Nanny Chen. She has a stubborn temper."
She sticks to the rules and never steps out of line. Even though Lu Zhixing's reputation for being hot-tempered has spread outside, she will never give up on what she insists on because of his temper.
If it weren't for Song Yushu's godfather protecting her, Nanny Chen would have been kicked out by Lu Zhixing long ago.
"It is precisely because Nanny Chen has a stubborn temper that she is the most suitable person to replace me during this period of time." Song Yushu couldn't help laughing.
To say that Nanny Chen has a stubborn temper is an understatement. Sometimes her godfather gets mad at her, but he can't bear to give up on her.
Lu Zhixing chuckled and shook his head. "That's true. Who else but her would listen to you and never change? You're really good at choosing people."
This sentence didn't sound like a compliment, but Song Yushu automatically turned it into a compliment, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment."
"You're so shameless." Lu Zhixing curled his lips in disdain. He gathered his energy and eyes and looked seriously at Song Yushu who was standing in front of him. He could already see the outline of a human figure recently.
The short and fat guy in front of him really couldn't imagine that she had so many thoughts.
Song Yushu pretended not to hear and took out the moxibustion needles from the secret compartment on the bookshelf next to him. After washing and disinfecting his hands, he asked Lu Zhixing for permission, "Your Highness, may I give you acupuncture?"
Lu Zhixing didn't say anything and nodded slightly.
A faint medicinal fragrance came over along with Song Yushu. At this time, Song Yushu was much closer, and Lu Zhixing could still only see a vague outline.
He just vaguely felt that Song Yushu was not tall. Even if Lu Zhixing was sitting there, she would not be much taller than Lu Zhixing. She should only reach his chest.
"Little shorty, drink more milk and grow taller. If you go to the Prince's Mansion like this, people will think that the Chief Secretary of Prince Jing's Mansion has no food to eat." Lu Zhixing suddenly spoke.
Song Yushu was stunned for a moment, and asked Lu Zhixing doubtfully, "Your Highness, can you see something? How do you know my height?"
Lu Zhixing paused with his slightly upturned lips, and said calmly, "If you knew martial arts, you would know even if you were blind."
Yes, I would like to learn it, but unfortunately I can’t learn it now. Besides, learning martial arts requires a lot of hardship. Just like Song Chun, his bones were already fully developed, but he still started learning martial arts. The suffering he endured was not a little bit.
"Your Highness, you are truly amazing." Song Yushu never expected that Lu Zhixing would hide it from him and praise him sincerely.
However, this sincere praise sounded very unpleasant to Lu Zhixing, who had something to hide. He closed his mouth to show that he didn't want to talk.
As soon as Song Yushu saw Lu Zhixing's expression and actions, he knew that he was angry for no reason again, so he just obediently did the acupuncture and massage and waited on the side.
At this moment, there was a knock on the study door, and Liu Bai's voice rang out from outside the door, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is getting off the carriage in front of the mansion gate."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhixing's face instantly turned cold, and Song Yushu could even feel the anger gushing from his heart.
In this era, one had to send a visiting card in advance when visiting someone else's house. This kind of surprise attack was very impolite, or it would only occur when there was a huge difference in social status.
It's obvious that the prince looks down on people.
But no matter how uncomfortable Lu Zhixing was, he had no choice but to welcome the prince. No matter how arrogant he was, he could not directly block the prince outside the mansion.
Lu Zhixing sat there without moving, but the emotions on his face subsided. Song Yushu also quickly put the things in the room in order and lit a stick of incense to dispel the medicinal aroma in the room.
Just as he had done all this, the prince's voice came from outside the study.
"Ninth brother, I came here uninvited, you won't be angry, right?"
