It's okay, it's easy to overthrow the heroine's system

Chapter 233: Visitors from the Palace

Jiang Jingmo seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this.

Soon, it was evening.

Jiang's father and mother prepared a rich dinner in advance. The servants went to report, and soon Shen Shuli and others arrived.

Seeing the table full of delicious food, even Shen Shuli couldn't help but be surprised for a moment.

Everyone took their seats, and Jiang's father and mother greeted everyone with smiles on their faces.

Father Jiang spoke first: "It is a great honor for the Jiang family to be able to meet with you all today."

As he said this he raised his glass to toast everyone.

Everyone responded with greetings, and the atmosphere at the table was filled with joy.

Among them, although Nan Xun had a smile on his face, he still couldn't hide his loneliness.

Because of his condition, Jiang's father and mother specially sent servants to help him pick up food, but since he had lost his sense of taste, everything he ate tasted like chewing wax.

Ke Su, who was sitting next to him, noticed this, looked at him with some concern, and patted his shoulder gently to comfort him.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Nan Xun looked in the direction of Ke Su and smiled gently at her. He was now much calmer than before, but he had also lost some of his liveliness.

Everyone soon noticed this situation. Although they were still chatting, their eyes had already fallen on Nan Xun.

Looking at Nan Xun like this, Jiang's father and mother suddenly understood why their child had to take such a risk to go to the palace.

Nan Xun was too depressed at the moment, like a pearl covered with dust, having lost its brilliance.

The two elders sighed silently, and then started chatting with Nanxun about family matters as if inadvertently. Perhaps because his attention was diverted, the loneliness on Nanxun's face gradually faded away.

Everyone seemed to be relieved, but Jiang Jingmo discovered something strange about one person.

"Why do you look so nervous?"

Jiang Jingmo looked at Shen Shuli beside him with some curiosity. He was tense and had a correct posture while eating, which was completely different from his usual casual demeanor.

"Have it?"

Shen Shuli turned his head and glanced at Jiang's father and mother.

"Yes, are you uncomfortable? Don't worry, my parents are very easy to talk to."

Jiang Jingmo comforted him with a few words.

"I know……"

Shen Shuli smiled. He had drunk a few glasses of wine today and seemed a little drunk.

"I just wanted to...be nice."

"Huh? Why?"

Jiang Jingmo looked at him and saw that the man's eyes seemed to be glued to him, with a hint of alcohol and a burning sensation.

Everyone at the table was chatting happily. I don't know what they were talking about, but everyone started laughing.

Shen Shuli spoke at this moment, his voice was lost in the laughter and Jiang Jingmo could not hear it at all.

"What did you say?"

Jiang Jingmo moved closer to him again and smelled a hint of alcohol on him.

"fine."

Shen Shuli smiled, twisted a strand of her hair with her hand, and then let it go. The faint fragrance emanating from the girl lingered at the tip of her nose.

Jiang Jingmo looked at him suspiciously, but was pulled back by Jiang Jiting who was standing beside him. He poured her a bowl of plum soup to relieve her greasiness and placed it in front of her.

"Mother made it. It's your favorite."

Jiang Jiting smiled at her gently, and Jiang Jingmo turned to look at his brother. Although he felt a little strange, he nodded and drank the bowl of plum soup.

At this moment, Jiang Jiting looked at Shen Shuli, and their eyes met in the air for a moment.

Shen Shuli suddenly laughed. He said nothing, but just glanced at the girl next to him.

Those eyes were filled with some strong emotions, which seemed to be no longer concealed due to the influence of drunkenness.

Jiang Jiting slowly looked away, a complex expression flashed across his face, but in the end he said nothing.

.........

The dinner went smoothly and it was already late at night when it ended, with only a crescent moon hanging above.

Jiang Jingmo also drank a lot of wine and was a little drunk. At this moment, looking at the moon, he felt a little sigh.

There is no moon in the Land of Fallen Souls, only darkness, and the Pure Soul Fortress located there is built to be as identical to the outside world as possible, including day and night.

But there was no moon at night either.

She seemed to suddenly understand the significance of those disciples staying there. Perhaps it was to protect the full moon and also to protect their families far away.

Jiang Jingmo felt a little sleepy, so she returned to her room alone. The familiar furnishings inside made her feel very at ease, and she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she lay down on the couch.

While she was half asleep, she felt a corner of her bed sinking. Jiang Jingmo wanted to be alert, but suddenly she smelled a familiar smell.

Somehow, she felt at ease, her fingertips touched a piece of fabric, and she grasped it in her hand.

"Why... don't you go through the main entrance..."

After saying that, Jiang Jingmo fell asleep, and the man next to her chuckled twice and his fingertips gently fell on the girl's face.

His eyes were tender and nostalgic, but he seemed to be suppressing something. After a long time, he withdrew his hand and spoke softly.

"Go to sleep, you little heartless bastard."

.........

The next day, Jiang Jingmo woke up to the noise.

She got up in confusion, and there was still a faint smell of agarwood by the bed.

The sound came from the front yard.

Jiang Jingmo quickly put on his coat and came to the front yard, where he saw a crowd of people.

The leader was a eunuch dressed in red, followed closely by a group of imperial guards.

Judging from the situation, it is obvious that the person here has no good intentions.

The eunuch was quite arrogant and was talking to Jiang's father at the moment with a very domineering attitude.

It was at this time that Jiang Jingmo came to her parents' side. She simply bowed and then looked at the eunuch.

"I wonder what the father-in-law wants to do?"

The eunuch looked Jiang Jingmo up and down for a long time before he spoke in a shrill voice.

"Who are you? Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

There was disdain in his eyes, and it seemed that he did not take Jiang Jingmo seriously.

"Eunuch, I am the daughter of Prime Minister Jiang. I joined the sect two years ago. Now I don't need to perform the imperial etiquette any more."

Jiang Jingmo stood straight. She smiled and explained a few words to the eunuch, but saw that his face was getting darker and darker.

"Oh, you are Prime Minister Jiang's daughter. I heard that you brought some people back yesterday?"

The eunuch sneered a few times when he heard this, and his attitude became even worse.

At this moment, other people were also attracted by the sound in the front yard and came here. When they saw this scene, they were a little surprised.

"Yes."

Jiang Jingmo nodded.

"That's right. You can take those people with you and go with me. Prime Minister Jiang will also come."

The chief eunuch waved his sleeves, and the imperial guards rushed forward and quickly took everyone under control.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this. They looked at Jiang Jingmo in confusion, and the latter shook his head slightly at them.

"Father-in-law, what are you doing? My children came back with their friends yesterday, but they didn't do anything."

Father Jiang bowed to the eunuch in front of him again. As things had developed to this point, he was also full of confusion.

"We are also working for the emperor. If you have any questions, Prime Minister Jiang should go and talk to the emperor."

After that, the eunuch didn't even listen to his explanation and directly ordered the imperial guards to take everyone away.
