The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 41 The mummy reappears
  The night was clear, and almost all the people on the street had dispersed. Only a few snack vendors were still cleaning up their stalls.

As Jiang Yaoxi was walking, the person next to her suddenly stopped. Wen Jiu stopped in place as if he was attracted by something.

She followed Wen Jiu's line of sight in confusion and saw an ordinary noodle stall. She saw the old man skillfully scooping the noodles into the bowl and adding the toppings that had been prepared, no more, no less, just full. A full bowl.

There were three or five tables next to it. It was getting late, and there were still two or three people sitting in the stall eating noodles.

A man suddenly stood up among the group of diners. The man was dressed in white, with a delicate jade pendant hanging from his waist. He was somewhat incompatible with his rather simple clothes. He was tall and tall, and his eyes were cold.

If this person is not Chen Shu, who is he? Even if Jiang Yaoxi didn't know this person, she could still see him in the crowd at a glance.

"Old man, here it is."

Chen Shu put the money in his hand on the noodle stall.

"Oh, Mr. Chen, you give me too much every time. You don't need it this time." The old man said and pushed the money back.

Chen Shu gave a rare smile and pushed the money in front of the old man again, "It's when you need money, just keep it."

"Hey... then... thank you so much, Mr. Chen, I can't repay you..."

"Then give me an extra spoonful of soup next time." Chen Shu smiled.

not far away…

"This person is..." Jiang Yaoxi was just about to boast that there are good officials in the capital, but she saw the junior sister next to her raising the corner of her mouth, not as dignified as before.

"Junior sister, do you... know him?" Jiang Yaoxi asked softly.

"We know each other." Wen Jiu looked at Chen Shu's leaving figure not far away, with a little smile in his eyes.

"You... like him?" She suppressed the excitement in her words, trying to get something out of Wen Jiu when he wasn't paying attention.

"Hi...what are you talking about?"

When Wen Jiu came back to his senses, he realized that the person had already gone away, but he was so stupid that he almost got tricked by Jiang Yaoxi.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.

Jiang Yaoxi couldn't help but raise her eyes and glance at Wen Jiu.

"I heard from Zisu that Jiu'er is engaged to Mr. Lu just now?"

"The engagement is about to end, what is Senior Sister doing with it?"

Wen Jiu coughed lightly and looked indifferent.

"It's nothing...it's just..." Jiang Yaoxi glanced at Chen Shu who was walking away, and then thought carefully about Wen Jiu's reaction, "I just think Mr. Lu is not bad, not worse than Mr. Chen."

Wen Jiu's eyelashes trembled and she lowered her eyes slightly. She had never thought of comparing the two of them together.

Seeing Wen Jiu's sudden silence, Jiang Yaoxi was afraid that she might have poked her sore spot. She put her arms around Wen Jiu's shoulders and tried to change the subject: "Senior sister, I'm just joking. The most important thing for us right now is of course to put out this ghost hunter like you." Ling, it lights up every night, and I feel very flustered."

"Senior sister, you will follow Lu Xu into the palace tomorrow to investigate, and I will try my best to stay with the Sixth Princess to take care of you."

Wen Jiu frowned slightly and said, she always felt that this matter was not simple.

"Well, you can rest assured that I'm here, junior sister."

"Oh, by the way, Senior Sister, please pay more attention to the Emperor and Concubine Rou. The entire palace can disappear overnight. There are not many people in the palace who have such ability, and there are even fewer people who can suppress this matter."

Everything is so strange, there must be some unknown secret behind it.

There is still no explanation for the disappearance of an entire palace. There is also the emperor's favorite concubine and the unborn prince. If the investigation is not allowed, what is the reason that prevents the truth from coming to light?
  If it weren't for this mummy incident, which was witnessed by many people in the palace, the Suining Palace incident would have been forever buried in this cannibal palace. "Okay." Jiang Yaoxi nodded cautiously.

The morning fog has not yet dissipated, and Wen Jiu got up very early.

Zi Su added some incense brought by Jiang Yaoxi to the incense burner. Naturally, she didn't know that this was the incense Wen Jiu used to use in Qingyun Mountain. "After the girl got better, she started getting up earlier."

"Can't sleep." Wen Jiu stood under the eaves and glanced at the wing next to him.

"Miss Jiang got up earlier than the other girls and went out before dawn."

"Yes." Lu Xu went to the morning early. If his senior sister wanted to follow him into the palace, she naturally had to get up earlier.

"Girl, would you like some breakfast first?"

"Serve it." Wen Jiu turned around and entered the room.

The trees in the courtyard had already stood there bare, and after standing there for a while, I felt the chill pouring into every inch of my exposed skin.

"This fragrance smells good." I didn't smell it when I was standing outside the door, but it was so refreshing when I entered the house.

Wen Jiu's eyes narrowed. People in the palace were now panicked, and the sixth princess was even more uneasy. If there was a fragrance that could soothe the mind and help sleep, then he should give it to the princess.

The carriage entering the palace rumbled, and Jiang Yaoxi looked at the soldiers in the imperial city wearing armor with solemn expressions on the carriage.

"I heard from Miss Wen that Miss Jiang is her senior sister?"

Lu Xu was the first to break the silence in the carriage, his voice as cold as ever.

After two days of getting along, Jiang Yaoxi knew that although Lu Xu looked distant, he was not a bad person and would not eat her up even if he said a few words.

"Well, I am ranked fifth and she is ninth, so she calls me Fifth Senior Sister."

"Miss Jiang is young but has extraordinary skills. She must be extremely talented and can still calm down and study hard. Lu admires her."

"How can you say you have no talent?" Jiang Yaoxi's tone was not as proud as usual, "Isn't this talent a flaw?"

"how do I say this?"

"Although we have different origins, we were both brought back to Qingyun Mountain because we were haunted by evil spirits when we were young. Only in this way can we have a chance to survive." Jiang Yaoxi couldn't say that she was disappointed. She just felt that if she were like ordinary people, she wouldn't need to be controlled by the ghost order.

"Is this all the case?" There was an unknown emotion in Lu Xu's eyes.

"Well, I still remember that when Junior Sister Ninth came here, the master pushed her very hard. At that time, she was still young and she only knew how to listen to the master. If she didn't eat after noon, she wouldn't eat until noon. She would start practicing at midnight. Practicing Qigong has caused us all to be scolded."

When Jiang Yaoxi thought about those days, she couldn't help but want to give Wen Jiu two slaps, not to mention the torture!

"I don't think she is so honest."

"Then he spent more time with us, and he gradually became lazy. He used to not eat after lunch, but later he learned to sneak into the kitchen to find food by himself, so he was punished." Jiang Yaoxi shook her head with a "tsk" He shook his head and said, "This is my nature. I can't say that I was led astray by us in the future."

Lu Xu couldn't help laughing. She was indeed different from the women in Beijing.

"Miss Jiang, we are almost there."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yaoxi knew that Lu Xu had something to say.

　Da da da da da why are you so quiet?
