Chapter 9 Think Twice Before Acting

It rained hard last night, and the rainwater accumulated on the camphor leaves was still dripping.

Inside the mahogany window, Jiang Yu was leaning on the wooden chair next to the desk.

"I wonder if Mr. Bai ever thought about the other people in your house when he assassinated His Majesty. This was a serious crime against the nine tribes." Jiang Yu held a log with his delicate white knuckles and carved it with concentration.

"Last year, when the palace was in turmoil, were you in the palace?" Bo Cang frowned slightly as he watched her fiddling with the things in her hands, and answered the question inappropriately.

Jiang Yu kept moving his hands, and the sharp carving knife was carving something on the rounded front end that had been polished.

"Here you are." The little sword has begun to take shape. Jiang Yu has a smile on his face and speaks very casually.

"Stop engraving!" Baicang took off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it towards Jiang Yu.

Without raising his head, Jiang Yu kicked the table leg. The seat beneath him shifted slightly, and the jade pendant fell to the ground and shattered.

"Jiang Yu, it's a good thing that Ayun was so good to you before. During the civil strife, even though you were in the palace, you were not willing to save her life!" Bo Cang still can't accept the fact that Zhongliyun died.

Baicang and Zhongliyun grew up together as childhood sweethearts.

Zhongliyun is a princess who has been taught the way of being a king since she was a child and has the world in mind.

Unlike Zhong Liqing, Zhong Liyun does not have the insidiousness and suspicion of a royal woman. She is like a bright sunflower.

The people of Yandu and Baicang once believed that such a sunflower could lead Tianlin to a more prosperous and bright road.

However, what no one expected was that at the end of last year, there was civil strife in the palace, and Xiang Yanghua died forever within the gloomy palace walls.

And the person Zhong Liyun is close to on weekdays is Jiang Yu!Even in the palace, there was no stopping him.

"Why didn't you save her?"

Jiang Yu put down the carving knife in his hand and blew the sawdust off the wooden sword.

"I don't want you to come here to accuse me of my behavior. Zhong Liqing and I have never been good friends. She is not qualified yet."

"You are just a commander, why shouldn't Ayun be your good friend?" Bo Cang was so angry that he covered his heart and pointed at Jiang Yu and said in a trembling voice.

"Whether you deserve it or not is not up to you. Zhongliyun's death is not just Zhongliqing's fault. She exchanged her death for your stability. Don't fail to cherish it. Zhongliqing can see that Ayun I’ll endure you once with the grace of saving my life, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want.”

Although Jiang Yu doesn't really want to care about Zhongli Qing and Bo Cang's affairs, if Zhongli Qing really dies, the Zhongli royal family will have no successor, and there will be chaos in the sky.

Jiang Yu didn't want to have Tianlin clean up the mess when the 800th year was approaching.

"There's no way A Yun's death has nothing to do with her." Bo Cang said through gritted teeth.

"That's your own idea. If you don't believe it, you can talk to Zhongliqing when you become the emperor's wife in the future. But if you want to kill Zhongliqing now, don't blame me for being rude to you." Jiang Yu raised his eyes, a look on his face The smile disappeared completely.

"Okay, let's go. Think about your family, think about these hard-won days of peace, and think twice before you act."

"Tao Qian, help me get this person out."

"Okay, Master." Tao Qian jumped in from the window, the tip of her peach blossom umbrella reaching Baicang's eyebrows.

"Young master, please." The peach blossom umbrella suddenly opened, and the handle was gently twirled in the hand, and the surface of the umbrella reversed to hold Bai Cang and forced him out of the door.

"You let me in."

Tao Qian blocked the door to prevent anyone from entering, "Don't think about it, the master said he won't let you in, so go back quickly."

"Jiang Yu, I remember what you said today. I will find the cause of A Yun's death myself." Bo Cang glared at Tao Qian, snorted coldly, threw off his sleeves and turned to leave.

Jiang Yu looked at the shaped wooden sword in his hand and said with a smile, "No matter how big or small, they actually called me by my name."

"Master, can I come in?" Tao Qian knocked on the door and asked in a low voice.

"Come in."

Tao Qian walked into the room, and Jiang Yu was still fiddling with the wooden sword in his hand.

The oiled wooden sword looks a little more shiny.

At first glance, it looks a bit sharp.

However, the purpose of Tao Qian's coming was not to see how Jiang Yu made this sword.

"Master, I have transformed." Tao Qian came back to her senses, straightened her clothes, stood up straight with her chest raised, and said loudly.

Suddenly there was an ear-splitting sound. Jiang Yu's hand shook and the blade whirled, almost hurting his hand.

"What are you yelling at? Can I still not see that you are a human being now?" Jiang Yu put down the things in his hands and looked at Tao Qian with disgust.

"But you haven't found a place for me to stay. I can't sleep on the peach tree every day." Tao Qian squatted down on the table and looked at Jiang Yu aggrievedly.

The four eyes met, and there was a different undercurrent surging faintly.

Just as Tao Qian was about to continue to implement her beauty, Jiang Yu slapped her in the face.

"You hundreds of years old monster, don't try to be cute like my little apprentice, I won't do that."

Tao Qian: "..." Master, you have no heart.

"I was raised by you. When I was a child, you often watered me and told me stories. I have just transformed. I am still young, so why can't I act like a spoiled child?" The more Tao Qian talked, the more aggrieved he became. He quickly grew and transformed in compliance with his master's wishes. However, after transforming, he fell out of favor.

Jiang Yu looked at the handsome man in front of him, it was really hard for him to act like a baby with this face...

"Little Taoshu, listen to me. I will send someone to clean up a house for you right away. Stop following me." After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he picked up the wooden sword on the table and went out.

Tao Qian followed Jiang Yu reluctantly, "Master, can't I sleep in the same room with you? The child last night can do it."

"Besides, just go sleep with Xiao Hei!"

"Who is Xiao Hei?" Tao Qian suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Jiang Yu quickly disappeared and only left one sentence, "Xiao Hei is a loyal dog at the back door of the mansion. If you talk more, you will sleep with him."

After Jiang Yu left, Tao Qian returned to the small courtyard, where the ground was covered with fallen flowers.

The wind passing through the round gate picked up the sun-dried peach blossom petals.

Ever since the peach tree had a peach spirit, that is, Taoqian, the peach blossoms have been undefeated for hundreds of years.

Last night Tao Qian transformed into a human form and separated from the peach tree, depriving the peach tree of its original power. The peach tree began to grow according to the laws of nature again.

It is already early summer, and the flowering season has long passed.

So overnight, the ground was covered with fallen flowers mixed with rain and decayed...

Tao Qian looked up at the withered peach blossoms on the tree and sighed.

But when he jumped on the peach tree and leaned on the peach branch, he couldn't help feeling that his body was the best and he felt safe when sleeping.

I opened my peach blossom umbrella to block the strong sunlight above my head, and stretched my legs lazily, feeling comfortable.

But not long after he lay down, he noticed a strange gaze staring at him.

Open your eyes.

There was a child standing under the peach tree, with a hint of hostility in his eyes.

Tsk, my master’s little apprentice doesn’t seem to like me very much.

But what a coincidence, he doesn’t like his master’s little apprentice very much either!
