People can't sleep

Shui Yingchen's bedroom was in a mess, and the windows were broken. Luo Jin didn't know what happened, and Shui Yingchen didn't explain. She asked Huamei to take her to another bedroom.

Such a big manor naturally has more than one bedroom.

Luo Jin carefully hypnotized Shui Yingchen, sat at the table with her arms folded, and didn't dare to sleep all night.

She was afraid that Shui Yingchen would do something to her after she fell asleep. After hearing what Shui Yingchen said... Did he make her faint after she fell asleep last night and do something to her? He

even abandoned her body because she was not strong enough and asked her to practice?

Luo Jin was completely broken. She couldn't beat him, and she couldn't escape. Whatever he wanted to do, she had no way to resist. The only consolation was that her body didn't feel anything... But her lack of feeling didn't necessarily mean that he didn't do anything, maybe it was because he wasn't very good...

She sat all night with trepidation, and she couldn't help but get startled every time Shui Yingchen turned over. Fortunately, nothing happened that night, and Shui Yingchen slept until dawn before waking up. When she got up and saw Luo Jin with dark circles under his eyes, she frowned slightly, "Don't you sleep at night? That's perfect, let's start practicing all night today."

Then she pushed the door and went out.

Luo Jin: "..."

Is he humane?

Luo Jin was catching up on sleep all day, and when it got dark, she sighed and went to Shui Yingchen's manor again.

"Your Majesty hasn't returned to Jiyuan for a long time, so don't you have to worry about the government affairs?" Luo Jin muttered.

"I happen to have some capable ministers."

"Then your majesty, aren't you afraid that those ministers will have ulterior motives and plot a rebellion while you are away?"

"No."

Luo Jin still had many doubts in his heart, "When will your majesty return to Jiyuan? You won't stay in Dongyuan forever, will you?"

"No, I have things to do, and I will naturally go back after I finish them." Shui Yingchen took off his outer robe, lay on the couch, and prepared to sleep.

"Then if you go back... I... won't have to..." "

When I go back, I will naturally take you with me."

When Shui Yingchen's breathing gradually became regular, Huamei opened the door for the first time and waved for Luo Jin to come out.

"Can I leave?" Luo Jin said in surprise.

Huamei smiled and shook her head, "No, His Majesty asked Huamei to teach the girl how to practice martial arts."

Luo Jin remembered what Shui Yingchen had said before, and his face turned pale, "Can I... not practice?"

Now that her body is strong, does she have to...

"No! His Majesty has never been so close to any woman. Huamei is so jealous when she sees it, she wants to kill the girl!" "

So if the girl doesn't listen, Huamei will use this as an excuse to kill her."

"I'll learn!"

Fortunately, Luo Jin was not sleepy after sleeping for a long time during the day. He followed Huamei to a small room next door, sat on the futon, and began to learn martial arts from the basics.

Huamei only taught her once, and continued with a smile: "These are the basic internal skills, just practice them repeatedly. I hope you can break through to the next level within half a year, so that Huamei's efforts will not be in vain."

Luo Jin thought she could practice in this small room, but Huamei immediately sent her back to Shui Yingchen's bedroom, asked her to stay outside, and threw a cushion to her.

Although Luo Jin was resistant in her heart, she had to start practicing. If she couldn't break through to the next level within half a year, would Huamei really find an excuse to kill her?

Looking at Huamei's expression, she didn't seem to be joking, did she?

It would be more difficult at the beginning, but Luo Jin calmed down, and after letting the internal energy circulate in the body for several cycles, he felt that this energy seemed to be emitted from the heart and could be controlled freely. Not

only does practicing not make you feel tired, but you also feel a sense of physical and mental relaxation.

At some point, Luo Jin suddenly felt a blockage in his heart, as if he couldn't breathe, and it was very uncomfortable to hold it.

It was already dawn, and Shui Yingchen was not in the room. Huamei pushed open the door, "Miss Luo, do you want to have breakfast? Huh?"

A silent wave of air blew past her ears, and she suddenly realized something and looked at Luo Jin abruptly.

Luo Jin opened her eyes and wiped the sweat off her face, "It's so tiring... but I don't seem to be sleepy anymore. Breakfast? Is there anything to eat?"

Huamei suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Luo Jin's wrist. For a moment, her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

"What's wrong?" Luo Jin walked out the door, "Where is the kitchen?"

Huamei was stunned for a moment and pointed to the right.

Luo Jin trotted towards the kitchen. She felt very relaxed today, much more relaxed than usual.

At this time, Shui Yingchen walked behind Huamei and asked, "Why are you so nervous?"

Huamei's voice trembled, "She broke through... a level!"

Shui Yingchen's fingers froze, "One night?"

"Yes... one night, she... who is she?"

Shui Yingchen pondered for a while and said, "Have you learned her method of helping you sleep?"

"Learn... learn it, Your Majesty, can you let Huamei try it?"

"Well, if you learn it... she will be useless." Shui Yingchen's voice was low, "You come and try it tonight, if it works... then kill her."

Huamei's eyes lit up, "Can you let Huamei do it herself?"

"You?" Shui Yingchen glanced at her, "Are you tired of living?"

Luo Jin was in good spirits when she went to the Taichang Temple during the day. She found a bunch of books to read. Although it was a leisurely job, she had to understand her business.

The Taichang Temple was responsible for a wide range of matters, including ancestral temples, sacrifices, rituals, music, and astrology. However, it was not difficult to do the work. As long as it was done according to the fixed rules, there would be basically no mistakes.

Luo Jin was confused. Lin Jinzhou could not even handle such a dawdling job. How negative must his work attitude be?

She called Lin Jinzhou over and asked, "What did you do that day? How did you go wrong? Tell me so I can learn from your mistakes."

Lin Jinzhou was suddenly exposed to his scars and felt very unhappy, but he did not dare not say, "I have tried really hard. The robe for the grand ceremony was clearly confirmed again and again. Who knew that when Your Majesty wore it, a dragon claw was suddenly missing. I don't know which unscrupulous person secretly removed the dragon claw for me..."

"So... someone deliberately framed you?"

"Isn't it?" Lin Jinzhou muttered, "If you weren't in Dongyuan, I would have suspected it was you..."

"Ah... I just slipped my tongue for a moment, how could it be Lord Luo? Lord Luo has served the country and the people, and heaven and earth can bear witness to that..."

"Okay, bring that robe over, let me take a look."

"Yes..."

Lin Jinzhou took the robe out of the storeroom and handed it to Luo Jin.

Luo Jin flipped through it a few times and saw that the robe was indeed embroidered with a four-clawed dragon, not a five-clawed one, which was obviously not in accordance with etiquette. How could Lin Jinzhou not notice such an obvious problem?

"Have all the people who have come into contact with this dress been checked?"

"We have checked, but we didn't find any problems. The embroiderer insisted that it had five claws when she was embroidering, and she didn't know why it became four claws."

Luo Jin looked carefully next to the fourth claw, and there were indeed some small pinholes, as if it was exposed after being dismantled. It seems that there was indeed a fifth claw embroidered, but someone secretly dismantled it.

"Did Lin Shaoqing offend anyone? The kind who wants to kill you no matter what?"

"My lord, I am just an idle official, who could I offend?"

"Maybe it's because you look hideous?"

"My lord..."

Luo Jin put away his robe, "I will go back and find an embroiderer outside the palace to take a closer look, maybe someone outside can find clues."

Lin Jinzhou looked at her and it seemed that she really wanted to help him solve the case.

He was touched, "Your Excellency is actually willing to investigate this case. If the truth can be revealed, I really don't know how to thank you..."

"You're welcome, we're all colleagues..."

Luo Jin packed up his robe and walked out of the Taichang Temple, thinking of taking the opportunity to take a walk.

As soon as he reached the door, he saw an acquaintance, who waved and greeted him, "Mr. Liu, how come you have time to come to my Taichang Temple? Come in and have a cup of tea?"

Liu Zishu blushed and said, "His Majesty has summoned you. Luo Qing, follow me into the palace!"

"Is there something urgent?"

"Not really...not urgent."

Luo Jin nodded, "Then I'll go buy some delicious food and bring it to the palace for the princess. Will it delay anything?"

"It won't delay anything. I...will accompany Luo Qing." Liu Zishu lowered his head.

Luo Jin thought that Liu Zishu was quite interesting. He blushed as soon as he saw her. Could it be because of what she saw that day? She was saving people at that time. This was no different from having a doctor see her body when treating a patient, right? In her time, there were many male doctors in the delivery room. Women in labor did not care about the other person's gender at all, let alone blush.

Luo Jin came to the market and saw someone selling candied haws. She walked up and took a few strings. Just as she was about to pay, Liu Zishu had already taken out his wallet and paid for her.

"How can I be so embarrassed..."

"Luo Qing, you don't have to be polite. It's just a few copper coins..."

[This Mr. Liu is so nice. I like friends who pay first, hehe...]

[She looks so cute when she blushes. I want to pinch her. 】

【He looks quite young, about sixteen or seventeen? I remember he was the captain of Gong Yuwei, right? His martial arts skills should be pretty good. 】

【He is young and promising, handsome, and generous. I wonder which girl will be so lucky in the future. 】

Liu Zishu's face turned even redder, and he whispered, "Luo Qing, are you free tonight? I want to invite Luo Qing... for dinner."

"In the evening?" Luo Jin shook his head, "I don't have time. I can't go."

"That... doesn't matter."

【I have to go find that man in the evening...】

【Actually, I really want to go and eat something delicious, but he won't let me go. 】

【Speaking of which, the food in his house is too light. In the morning, there is only white porridge to eat, and there is not even any salted vegetables. He didn't treat me to dinner either, so I had to eat my fill before going to find him. 】

Liu Zishu felt a little disappointed. It seemed that this Luo Qing already had a lover, and their relationship was so close that they lived together. He didn't even mind that the other party was poor and could only give her one bowl of porridge a day.

"By the way, since you are the chief of the Gong Yu Guard, then you are responsible for the safety of His Majesty, right?" Luo Jin suddenly asked.

"Yes." Liu Zishu was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"

"You were also responsible for the sacrifice on the first day of the new year?" "

Yes."

Luo Jin pondered and said, "Is there any difference between that day and previous years?"

"Different..." Liu Zishu thought for a while, "It is true that there is a little bit."
