Chapter 157: Moving Room

After Jiang Jiu settled Zhao Zhuoxi in his main room, he turned around and returned to his original room, only to find his original maid in the room.

Nanny Qian, Xia Zhi, Chu Yu, and Xiao Yimo are all missing.

After asking around, I found out that they had left.

Jiang Jiu was a little confused: "Why did he leave when everything was fine?"

Zhao Zhuoxi had been following Jiang Jiu, and he rolled his eyes in anger.

He is Jiang Jiu's person, not your Su Man's. The reason you didn't leave before was because you wanted to take care of him and wait for Jiang Jiu with him.

Now you are here in the mansion, and you have brought your family with you.

People from the Qin family also came, and they certainly didn't want to live in the palace and suffer.

My son Xiaojiu has two yards and several properties in Beijing. He also has a shop and business. Who would care about you?

Jiang Jiu is not herself now. After changing her body, no one can recognize her.

She was a little anxious, but helpless.

After all, who can believe such an incredible thing.

In the end, she didn't say anything. She told the maid to clean the yard carefully every day and then returned to the main room.

The main wife is also familiar with him, and she often comes to see Zhao Zhuoxi.

The room is large, fully functional, well decorated, and very exquisite inside and outside.

Jiang Jiu was not unfamiliar with it either.

Looking at Zhao Zhuoxi lying on the bed, she squeezed out a hot towel and wiped Zhao Zhuoxi gently.

"Don't touch me. Don't touch me."

Even though Zhao Zhuoxi was so angry that he was jumping up and down.

But Jiang Jiu couldn't see it either.

Pa Ji wiped Zhao Zhuoxi's face because he was handsome and she liked him.

I couldn't help but kiss him on the forehead.

Zhao Zhuoxi felt dirty and sorry for Jiang Jiu, and almost fainted.

Who would have thought that I would return to my body, but my eyelids felt so heavy as if a heavy iron spike had fallen on them, and I could not open my eyes at all.

Jiang Jiu wiped Zhao Zhuoxi's face again, but saw that his eyelids were trembling wildly.

"Are you going to wake up..."

Jiang Jiu wanted to pry open Zhao Zhuoxi's eyelids, but at this moment, Chen and Qin Qing came in, followed by a doctor in a gray gown.

"Princess, the doctor our master invited for the prince is here."

Jiang Jiu stood up, made way for the doctor to check Zhao Zhuoxi's pulse.

Aunt Xu, who was standing by, also came in and reported in a neither loud nor quiet voice.

"Princess, I have taken the butler to go around the palace and asked everyone who is not from the palace to leave. Here is the palace's flower list, please take a look, Princess."

This is the reward for the official management of the palace.

Jiang Jiu opened the flower list and read it carefully.

The imperial court had regulations on the deployment of slaves in the royal palace. Maids, old women, guards, and servants all had ranks and their own managers.

All in all, there are more than 500 people.

Among them, three hundred were guards, the remaining two hundred, fifty servants, fifty elderly women, and the rest were maids.

The courtyard of the palace is very large, and there are dedicated people to manage food, clothing and other expenses.

The courtyard is also divided into inner courtyard and outer courtyard.

The maids in charge are divided into two groups: some are in charge of the inner courtyard and some are in charge of the outer courtyard, and their responsibilities are clearly defined.

In the past, Jiang Jiu was just a concubine of Zhao Zhuoxi. She didn't care about these things, as the maids and old women took care of them.

The configuration is the same in Suzhou, but there are fewer people because Zhao Zhuoxi is more cautious.

More than 500 people serve Prince Zhao Zhuoxi.

It is no wonder that everyone in ancient times yearned for power and nobility.

The key is that these expenses are also huge.

If Jiang Jiu remembered correctly, Zhao Zhuoxi didn't seem to have any land in the capital.

When he opened the account book, he found that apart from the emperor's reward, there was only one item of income, which was the tribute of a small boat.

"Okay, let's put it aside for now. I'll ask the housekeeper to go to the side hall this afternoon. I'll ask everyone one by one."

Nanny Xing was the one who urged Jiang Jiu to take charge of the palace, and she was very satisfied.

He agreed readily: "Okay, then I'll ask them to wait in the flower hall at 5 pm."

Jiang Jiu nodded.

At this moment, Chen couldn't help but become gloomy.

"I heard that the prince fell ill this time because his beloved concubine died. As soon as the princess entered the palace, she drove all the concubines away. This is too cold-blooded."

"If the prince wakes up and sees you do this, he will definitely not be happy."

Chen was feeling a little anxious. She had come to the palace to help on the orders of her mother-in-law.

Who knew that Yagen was no match for the people sent by Princess Zhaoyang.

Everyone in the capital knew the reason why Zhao Zhuoxi went crazy. He was playing chess with the emperor in the palace just fine, but the queen insisted on punishing his concubine.

His favorite concubine also had a hot temper. She had a dispute with the empress and burned down the empress's bedroom.

Yes, after Jiang Jiu blew up the Queen’s bedroom.

There is indeed such a gossip rumor in the market.

At that time, it was announced that the prime minister and the queen of Zhou were planning a rebellion, but this was discovered by a maid of the King of Qi. The King of Qi and the emperor responded immediately and captured the prime minister and the queen in one fell swoop.

Then, with lightning speed, he captured Zhou Xiang's followers, killed Zhou's family members, and exiled many noble families.

Everyone in the capital is in danger.

Chen originally wanted to use her concubine to provoke Jiang Jiu, but Jiang Jiu was that concubine.

Jiang Jiu glanced at her calmly and asked Aunt Xing: "By the way, were the concubine's people also driven out of the palace?"

Nanny Xing nodded and said, "If you are not from the palace, you are naturally not qualified to live here."

Jiang Jiu sighed helplessly: "Then remember to give them some money, as a token of our appreciation. After all, I am not a heartless person."

Nanny Xing said hurriedly, "Of course I know. I gave each of them twenty taels, but they didn't even look at her. Princess, that concubine is from a merchant family in Jiangnan, and she has plenty of money."

Jiang Jiu thought about it and decided that she was not willing to throw away such a big money jar, so she still had to bring these people back.

"I just looked at the account and saw a sum of money that belonged to them. Could it be the concubine's dowry?"

Nanny Xing smiled and said, "Princess, it is of course the dowry. It is now also considered as the account of the palace. In the future, the princess will be in charge of the management..."

Nanny Xing was very meaningful and asked Jiang Jiu to handle it personally because the amount was really large.

Jiang Jiu naturally knew: "Okay, wait until I finish taking care of the affairs of the palace, and then go and see it in person."

Chen was willing to come to Prince Qi's palace to help, in fact, it was for this business.

Everyone knows that the concubine beside Prince Qi is the heir to the richest man in Jiangnan. When the concubine dies, all the wealth will naturally belong to Prince Qi.

That's why the Qin family asked her to come to the mansion to help, mainly to see if there were any benefits.

After hearing all this, Chen said shamelessly: "If the princess is too busy, we can help."

I'm sorry, I really can't help you with this Chen.

Because it is not easy for Jiang Jiu to get to know Xiao Yimo and the others, this is an opportunity.

Zhao Zhuoxi was also anxious because the business belonged to Jiang Jiu and he had a lot of transactions privately and he didn't want the new princess to know at all.

But he was lying there unable to move and could only scream wildly in his heart.

"Suman, get out of here."

However, the people here can't hear it at all.

The doctor took the patient's pulse for a long time before he stood up.

She shook her head gently and said, "Princess, Madam, I am really young and inexperienced. The prince looks very healthy and does not have any incurable disease."

Chen asked hurriedly: "Then why can't you wake up?"

The doctor stroked the goat's beard and thought for a while before saying, "It's caused by heart disease. His soul has left his body. He has suffered a serious heart injury and his soul is no longer in his body."
