Chapter 170 Seeing an Old Friend Again

Early the next morning, Jiang Jiu woke up and felt his waist was very sore. He wanted to get up but couldn't, while Zhao Zhuoxi beside him was nowhere to be found.

She turned over and felt that everything that happened yesterday was just a dream.

"Are you awake? I asked someone to make some chicken soup for you. Eat some and then go back to sleep."

These words sound so familiar; they were what she said to Zhao Zhuoxi at that time.

She likes to drink chicken soup, and she likes to drink pigeon soup even more. However, there are no wild pigeons in the mountains, but there are pheasants.

Sure enough, Zhao Zhuoxi was dressed in a neat outfit and holding a bow and arrow in his hand.

"This is the pheasant I shot early in the morning. I asked them to make chicken soup for you to nourish your body."

Putting down the bow and arrow, Zhao Zhuoxi returned to the house, supported his hands and looked at Jiang Jiu who had just woken up, with a smile on his lips and a deep smile in his eyes.

Jiang Jiu turned over and felt refreshed. She looked down and found that Zhao Zhuoxi had asked someone to change the sheets and mattress, and she had also been washed.

"I'm not hungry, I'm just so sleepy..."

Zhao Zhuoxi hugged her lovingly and said, "It's not comfortable to sleep with an empty stomach. Come, eat something before going back to sleep."

Jiang Jiu was so sleepy that she closed her eyes, and Zhao Zhuoxi fed her mouthful of chicken soup.

I don't know when, Jiang Jiu fell asleep again.

I slept soundly that night, and when I woke up again, the lights were still on.

"Princess, there is a young man named Xiao outside the yard asking to see you." Qiuyue came over to report.

The one with the surname Xiao, it’s Xiao Yimo who is here.

Jiang Jiu immediately stood up and prepared to meet the person, but Qiuyue said again.

"Don't worry, Princess. Master Xiao has been taken to the study by the prince."

Jiang Jiu thought about it carefully and was no longer in a hurry. She had already been recognized by Zhao Zhuoxi, so it was only a matter of time before others would recognize her.

Qiuyue asked again: "Princess, who exactly is Mr. Xiao? Why does it feel like he is so familiar with the prince? It seems like we have never seen him before..."

Of course you haven't seen him, Xiao Yimo is Jiang Jiu's man.

Jiang Jiu asked again: "Is Miss Chuyu here?"

Qiuyue shook her head: "The princess only asked to invite Master Xiao Yimo, not Chuyu. Oh, Miss Nishang wanted to come and see the princess, but was stopped outside by the prince."

"Princess, Miss Nichang is so beautiful. Is she your concubine? Is she coming to see you to show off to you?"

Lu Ming and Nishang were both working outside a while ago, contacting people in Suzhou, and only returned to Beijing during this period.

Therefore, everyone only knew that King Qi had a concubine named Jiang, who was very favored, but they didn't know about Nishang.

Hearing this, Jiang Jiu burst out laughing.

"If you say this in front of Lu Ming, be careful or he'll hit you."

Qiuyue suddenly realized: "Ah, she is the wife of Lu Ming's bodyguard..."

Jiang Jiu took a deep breath and testified for Zhao Zhuoxi: "The prince is actually a very loyal man, just like the third prince and the late emperor, who only takes a sip from the vast sea."

After packing up, Jiang Jiu said, "Let's go."

In the prince's study, Xiao Yimo, Nishang and Lu Ming were all there, and the three of them were arguing about something.

Xiao Yimo's voice is high and intense, and his emotions are also intense.

"It was Xiaojiu who agreed to it, not me. Why should we give money to the palace again? Besides, our money can be used for other purposes."

Lu Ming was angry: "Without silver, how can we buy food and horses..."

Nishang advised: "Xiaojiu died for the prince, so the two of you should stop arguing here. Hua Man Lou has also made a lot of money. If you are short of money, just use it first. But if the prince doesn't show up for Xiaojiu's business, I'm afraid those shopkeepers will start their own business again."

After Jiang Jiu's mother passed away, the shop was ownerless for more than ten years, and many shopkeepers started their own businesses.

Now Jiang Jiu has managed to stabilize the business of Yiye Pianzhou.

As a result, something went wrong again.

Fortunately, everyone knows that Jiang Jiu is the wife of Qi Wang Zhao Zhuoxi. If Zhao Zhuoxi is willing to come forward, those shopkeepers will definitely be afraid.

But in ancient times, princes doing business were looked down upon.

"If it weren't for him, Xiaojiu wouldn't have died." Until now, Xiao Yimo still couldn't forgive Zhao Zhuoxi.

Blame Jiang Jiu's death on Zhao Zhuoxi.

Therefore, after Jiang Jiu's death, Xiao Yimo did not transfer a single cent of the agreed money to the palace's account.

Jiang Jiu had been in the palace before, and Xiao Yimo knew that their money was transferred from one hand to the other.

Whether it is the royal palace or the business, the account books are all in Jiang Jiu's hands.

But without Jiang Jiu in the palace, Xiao Yimo treated them as outsiders.

If it were in the past, Zhao Zhuoxi would be angry and furious if he heard such a quarrel.

But today...

Zhao Zhuoxi watched them quarreling for a long time with a smile on his face, but he was still not angry. He didn't know where his thoughts were drifting. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked very happy.

After arguing for a while, they stopped.

Lu Ming and Ni Chang looked at Zhao Zhuoxi's happy expression inexplicably, feeling that he was sick.

Xiao Yimo was not afraid of Zhao Zhuoxi just like Jiang Jiu. He widened his eyes and asked.

"What are you laughing at? There's nothing funny about that."

At this moment, Jiang Jiu pushed the door open.

"Xiao Yimo, I'm back..."

The appearance is someone else's, and the voice is also someone else's.

But the tone and voice were undoubtedly Jiang Jiu's.

Jiang Jiu entered Zhao Zhuoxi's room and looked around. Zhao Zhuoxi immediately gave orders to his attendants.

"You all go down."

Jiang Jiu nodded at Qiuyue: "You go back first, leave this to me."

Qiuyue was still wondering when their girl got to know these people outside.

He was driven out by the prince.

I was the only one left in the room.

Jiang Jiu walked forward and sat next to Zhao Zhuoxi.

"According to custom, the money on the account will be paid to the palace at a four percent interest rate. Go ahead."

"Xiao Yimo, I have blown up all the bombs in the Queen's Palace. You should have made some more, and there are also pistol bullets..."

Picking up the pistol, Nichang hesitated for a moment, then took out her own.

Jiang Yao had two guns, one of which was given to Zhao Zhuoxi, and the other was originally held by Jiang Jiu, but she dropped the gun after she was knocked unconscious.

Nichang had been letting it go all the time, and it was Xiao Yimo who taught her how to shoot.

Xiao Yimo also made several. He kept one for himself, gave one to Chu Yu, and kept the rest in the safe at home.

No one knew about this except Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu asked this and Xiao Yimo was shocked.

"You, are you really Jiang Jiu?"

Jiang Jiu rolled his eyes speechlessly: "I am really Jiang Jiu, but my current identity is Su Man..."

"I don't know either

What happened? I woke up in her body. I thought maybe my life is not over yet and God found a body for me."

Although this matter was unbelievable, the person was right there, and Xiao Yimo couldn't believe it.

"If you are really Jiang Jiu, I will ask you one more thing..."

Jiang Jiu pursed his lips and said, "You have a spade-shaped birthmark on your left buttock. When you were sick, Chu Yu wanted to give you an injection, but you refused and accidentally pulled off your pants. She and I saw it together."

This embarrassing incident happened when he was a child. Jiang Jiu was only eleven or twelve years old at that time. He first met Xiao Yimo and then Chu Yu.

Once, Xiao Yimo and Jiang Jiu went out to do some work together and got caught in the rain. Jiang Jiu went home and drank some ginger soup and was fine. But Xiao Yimo developed a fever and a cough instead.

Jiang Jiu asked Chu Yu to help with the diagnosis, but Xiao Yimo was actually afraid of acupuncture...
