Chapter 183 The Beating of Concubine Li
Chen Jinchu took Lian Lian and the other two servant girls to the courtyard where Concubine Li was. The courtyard was exquisite and luxuriously decorated. I thought that Concubine Li was very favored by Mu Shuo. Otherwise, how could a concubine live in the courtyard of the main wife? ?
But if you talk about favors and trust, the princess has been dead for so many years, and she is still a side concubine...

Chen Jinchu was still thinking about something in his mind, and had been led into the inner courtyard by the maid.

Contrary to her imagining that the swords are at the verge of breaking out, Concubine Li is thin and pale, her clothes are simple and elegant, her face is deeply sick, and her thin facial features can vaguely see the beauty and refinement of the past.

"Greetings to the side concubine." Chen Jinchu bowed deeply.

Concubine Li nodded, and said: "Sit down, the journey is tiring, I just wanted to see me when I first entered the mansion, and I have a heart." She motioned to the nanny next to her, and the nanny understood, and took a silver coin from her side. A tray with several pieces of jewelry on it.

"These are all the dowry of the empress. When the empress heard that you were coming, she specially selected them for a long time. Although the style is not so fashionable, the workmanship is exquisite and the materials are also real." The mother's tone was polite and distant.

Chen Jinchu took it over flattered, and thanked Concubine Li a lot.

Concubine Li smiled slightly, and said: "I am in poor health, and Lingxi likes to run around. You are here, just to help me with some chores." After speaking, she coughed.

Chen Jinchu hastily declined: "You mustn't do it, my concubine! I'm not very educated. I have been serving the master's family since I was ten years old. I haven't read a book, I don't know a few big characters, and I'm not cautious and eloquent. I'm not good at dealing with people. If you put me in charge, I can only run away overnight, which is better than being beaten to death by my father if I make a mistake in the future."

She spoke truthfully, and she danced in embarrassment, her anxious feelings were self-evident, and several maids and servants in the room showed contempt.

Concubine Li smiled and said: "You child, how can you be so self-deprecating. You can't leave. The prince has never given up these years, and has been secretly investigating, so he found you."

Chen Jinchu said innocently: "Ah? Does King Father care about me so much? He never smiles at me."

"Silly boy, your father is in a high position and has always been strict. He rarely smiles at Lingxi and the others. Don't think too much. When you arrive at the palace, you will go home. If there is anything you need to ask someone to let me know, if the people below are tired You can tell me anytime you want to be slippery." Concubine Li said, coughing a few times because she spoke in a hurry.

"Side concubine, please pay attention to your health." Chen Jinchu looked blankly, like an ignorant girl in the countryside, "Side concubine, you are so kind. To tell you the truth, when I just came here, I was quite scared. You are so gentle."

Concubine Li smiled and said: "Silly girl. If only Lingxi thinks like you do, that girl is going crazy outside all day long."

Chen Jinchu stared at the plates of pastries on the table in a daze, and still swallowed.

Concubine Li and the nurse next to her looked at each other, and said: "I was too busy chatting, but I forgot to ask you to eat some pastries. These are all made in the small kitchen. Try to see if it suits your taste."

Mu Lingxi came in at this moment, greeted Concubine Li, and caught a glimpse of Chen Jinchu holding a piece of pastry to his mouth.

She frowned and said, "Concubine Mu, didn't you prepare these pastries for me? How can outsiders eat them!" She unceremoniously snatched the pastries back from Chen Jinchu's hand.

Concubine Li got up angrily, and said, "You are presumptuous! How can you be so rude! She is your younger sister."

Mu Lingxi smiled and said, "It's not my dear." She began to eat the pastry by herself.

Chen Jinchu got up embarrassingly, and said: "My concubine, how about I go back first? I remembered that the house hasn't been tidied up yet, so I brought some things back and put them on."

She saluted in a panic, bewildered.

Concubine Li waved her hand gently, and said: "You go back, I will arrange two capable people for you later, so that the servants will not bully you."

Chen Jinchu quickly waved his hands and said, "No need, I can do all kinds of work, and Lianlian is enough."

"I know you are thrifty, but this is the rule of the palace. Which of the masters in our mansion is not a group of servants? If you don't want it, it will be thought that I have scolded you. Good boy, go back first, just live well Let's go." Concubine Li got up, walked up to Chen Jinchu, and patted her hand.

Chen Jinchu felt a faint energy pass through his palm, just for a moment.

Back at his residence, Chen Jinchu handed the pastry scraps under his nails to Lian Lian, and said, "Let someone inspect it."

Lian Lian said: "Yes, Princess. The servants checked the jewelry and found that they are all solid, but there is a faint fragrance. Do you want the servants to dispose of them?"

Chen Jinchu glanced at the jewelry, took one of the peony hairpins, and said, "If you don't wear such a precious thing, wouldn't the concubine give you a more expensive gift to knock it on?"

She inserted the gold hairpin into her head.

"But..." Lian Lian said anxiously, "This slave girl sees that Concubine Li is not a kind person, so she is used to acting hypocritical. This batch of hairpins and rings must have been tampered with."

Chen Jinchu said coldly: "Even if it is poisonous, my body is riddled with holes. Am I still short of this chronic poison? You have to be careful, Ye Fusu has left some people for us, and they will take the initiative to find us."

"Yes, the servant girl is going down first, and I'm going to ask someone to inspect the pastry first."

Chen Jinchu was a little tired, lying on the imperial concubine's couch, thinking that Mu Shuo would not be able to come back for a while, after all, the gift she gave was not small - the fire in the military camp was just a small disturbance, not enough to make Mu Shuo Shuo hurts the muscles and bones.

She smiled, what if the leader of the imperial army was killed?
He is Mu Shuo's confidant.

They are bound to choose a new leader of the imperial army, whoever they choose is a big drama, after all, there are more generals under Lu Taiwei, it is not so easy for Mu Shuo to place another confidant in this position.

Wei Zhao came and said with a smile, "You are very comfortable now."

Chen Jinchu also didn't get up, and said, "Everyone, each other."

"You Mu Shuo is too busy." Wei Zhao said again, "The leader of the imperial army was killed."

Chen Jinchu said: "Really? This is also Mu Shuo's person?"

Wei Zhao smiled and said, "You don't know? Yes, it looks more like Ye Fusu's handwriting."

Chen Jinchu smiled and said, "You know again."

Wei Zhao leaned over and got very close to her, the breaths of the two were entangled with each other, and the atmosphere was very ambiguous.

Chen Jinchu stretched out his hand to touch his face, and said, "Your face is not so amazing, but it is very attractive."

Wei Zhao bowed his head, kissed him lightly, and said, "You are so courageous that you even dare to tease the young master. Let me charge some interest first."

Chen Jinchu said: "The interest has been collected, and it's time for us to talk about business. Let's talk about how to divide the spoils."

"Oh?" Wei Zhao looked at Chen Jinchu amusedly, but Chen Jinchu had a serious face, so he had no choice but to put away his smile, and said, "But according to the order, let's talk, my master is all ears."
