Isn’t it good for the five of us to be together?

I thought Jiang Yuchen would return home very late today, but I didn't expect to bump into him coming back during dinner.

Jiang Yuchen saw the wound on my neck at a glance and asked, "Who hurt you?"

I hesitated and said nothing.

Jiang Yuchen: "I heard that the regent punished several ministers during the court session this morning, but was the regent injured?"

I said: "He punished the minister today, but this is not why I was injured."

Jiang Yuchen took a closer look at my wound. I took a few steps back reflexively. Jiang Yuchen pressed my shoulder, making me unable to move.

Jiang Yuchen: "You are afraid."

"No, no."

Jiang Yuchen: "The injury was from a sword."

After checking it, he gave me a small porcelain bottle in his sleeve: "Take it once a day, don't touch it with water."

After Jiang Yuchen said these words, he walked straight to the door of the house.

I stopped him hastily: "What are you going to do, Master National Preceptor?"

Seeing that he couldn't push me away, Jiang Yuchen said: "There is a sword wound on your body, either from an assassin or from the regent himself. No matter what the reason is, I have to question it. I can't let you be bullied in vain." .”

It would be a lie to say that he is not moved. Jiang Yuchen has never interfered with the political affairs of the DPRK and China. If he goes to discuss an explanation with Chi Wanshen now because of me, it will be bad for him and the entire Imperial Prefecture. Some ministers in the DPRK will definitely be ready to take action. .

Besides, the Beiyin Imperial Master went to the Regent's Palace just to help a woman get an explanation. What does it look like?

"Master National Preceptor, please don't be impulsive. This injury was indeed caused by the Prince Regent, but please think twice before offending the Prince Regent's Palace for this trivial matter."

I knelt on the ground, as if I wouldn't get up if he didn't agree.

Jiang Yuchen is the kind of person who looks cold and ruthless on the outside, but is actually soft on the inside. And I am also a member of the National Preceptor's Office. He naturally wants to seek an explanation for me, but I don't want to break his principle of ignoring political affairs for many years because of myself.

"Master Imperial Master, I am a person who must retaliate against others. There is no need to go into such a big fight. I will not let myself be bullied in vain."

Jiang Yuchen helped me up and gently touched my neck with his fingers. After a while, he said: "Okay."

In the next few days, no one gave me any trouble at court, but I still had to make some achievements to convince these ministers.

There is no precedent for women to serve as officials in Beiyin, and no one in the court came to me to make friends. Therefore, although I am not as famous as Nanyang as a strategist, I am more relaxed and at ease.

It’s just that there will always be people who like to compare something, and people are the same.

I don't know where the rumors started, saying that the newly appointed Chen Ceshi had no ideas and was not as good as the Nanyang policy strategist at all. It's been a few days since I took office, and I can't even produce anything decent.

The people in the court also criticized me a lot, but they only dared to whisper a few words in private and did not dare to say it openly. After all, in addition to my title of strategist, I also have the title of county leader.

I guess it won’t be long before this topic turns to the puzzling relationship between the newly appointed Chief Chen and the Prince Regent.

But these are all things for later. The important thing now is that Chi Wanshen summoned me suddenly, and I don’t know why.

I haven't had much interaction with him in the past few days. I thought he must have been angry with me that day. It would be good for you and me to calm down. Even when he went to the palace to accompany the young emperor, he always left in a hurry, for fear of bumping into Chi Wanshen.

We had arrived at the Prince Regent's Palace, and it was the same as usual. There were just a few more tinkling sounds. When I looked up, I found dozens of kittens basking in the sun on the eaves. Each kitten still had a bandage around its neck. A small bell sways twice from time to time.

I find it strange, why does Chi Wanshen keep so many cats in his house?

"Master Chen?"

Chi Wanshen stood on the corridor and looked at me. Today, he was wearing a dark red patterned robe, which was very eye-catching. What caught my attention was the hairpin on his head... He must have been in love recently, so he was like this Swagger.

Chi Wanshen walked closer to me and asked, "Does Mr. Chen like these kittens?"

I smiled back: "Kittens are cute, so of course I will like them."

The kittens in the Prince Regent's Palace are very smart. As soon as I finished saying this, a kitten came to rub my trouser legs and meowed beside me.

Chi Wanshen: "They like Mr. Chen very much."

I find it strange. I don’t see Lihua clinging to me much in the Imperial Preceptor’s Mansion. Why is this cat in the Prince Regent’s Mansion so enthusiastic? Could it be that he smelled the same kind of scent?

"I wonder why the prince called the officials here?"

Chi Wan squatted down and touched the kitten, and said, "I wanted to talk to Mr. Chen a few days ago, but I never found the opportunity, about the Holy Emperor's birthday banquet."

The birthday banquet has been very noisy in the court these days. How to arrange the banquet is decided by the Ministry of Etiquette. However, according to Beiyin law, the visiting envoy must go to the Guoshi Temple to undergo some ceremonial baptism. It can be called the highest courtesy.

And this time it was the Emperor of Nanyang who came, so this trip was naturally unavoidable. But there is a process in the ceremony that requires the princess of the royal family to complete. However, the eldest princess of Beiyin is still suppressing thieves. Secondly, Beiyin does not even have a princess, so the next step is to decide on the county owner.

The main point of the quarrel among the ministers is that I, the only county head of Beiyin, was originally from Nanyang, so some people objected. But some people support it, saying that since I have registered residence in Beiyin, I am from Beiyin.

I asked: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Chi Wanshen: "I want you to bear it."

"Your Majesty, please give me a reason."

I also squatted down and looked directly into his eyes.

Chi Wan smiled deeply and said, "This way you can tell the world that you are from Beiyin."

So childish.

I complied.

Originally, I was still worried about losing my vest in front of Ling Hengyuan Qin Che, but now I have not only changed my identity, but also my skin. If I were secretive, I'm afraid it would arouse more suspicion. It would be better to stand openly in front of people. I still don't believe they can recognize me.

Chi Wanshen: "Aren't you afraid?"

Now it was my turn to wonder: "What are you afraid of?"

His sentence had no beginning and no end, which made me a little unresponsive.

Chi Wanshen returned to his smile and said, "Nothing." He turned to look at my wrist and said, "Why didn't you bring that bell with you today?"

I stroked the cat's hand, but I didn't expect him to mention it so naturally: "Sometimes the bell gets in the way, so I don't wear it very often."

he mused.

"If nothing happens, Your Majesty, I will resign first."

Chi Wanshen: "Wait a minute." He took out a small box from his sleeve and handed it to me: "This is for you."

"what is this?"

I reached out to open the small box and found a bunch of silver jewelry inside, with a safety lock in the middle, strung together with a silver wire. It was very beautiful.

"Is this... for me?"

Chi Wanshen was very happy to see me, and the smile on her face became even deeper: "I'm afraid you won't like it."

The small safety lock lies in the palm of my hand, and it seems that something is slowly filling it.

But the silver thread strung with silver ornaments felt very familiar to me: "This silver thread is..."

Chi Wanshen: "Now Gu's hand can already use a sword, so there is no need for this silver thread. Gu will give it to you. It is as thin as silk thread, and it can kill people. I am afraid that it will be too thin and hurt you, so I will use it to kill people." Twisted together.”
