Chapter 54, Self-Strategy

"Love comes from nowhere but it's so deep?"

Inside the Huangji Palace, the deep voice of Emperor Yuji came from behind the imperial desk.

"What else did you say?"

"Lady Shu also said that you are you, and she likes you."

The secret guard knelt on one knee, staring at the ground with dead eyes, without blinking.

"And congratulate Lord Shen on his promotion, and express your expectation for a family reunion at the New Year's banquet."

After the report, the secret guard disappeared in the Huangji Palace in the blink of an eye at the signal of Emperor Yuji.

Jiang Quan, who was serving alone in the palace, was very keenly aware that after the secret guards left, there seemed to be a ray of invisible light that dispelled most of the gloom and silence that permeated the Huangji Palace.

The entire hall became bright and spacious in an instant.

Your Majesty, he...

Jiang Quan just started to think more, when he realized someone was looking at him.

With a start in his heart, Jiang Quan looked up and gave Emperor Yu Ji a fawning smile.

"Your Majesty, is the tea cold? I will get you a new cup."

Emperor Yuji waved his hands and said in an inexplicable tone: "I ask you, what does Lady Shu mean when she said I am I?"

I am I, I...me?

Emperor Yu Ji's heart was touched for a moment.

If I were not the ruler of the world, would my noble lady Shu still love me as always?
Emperor Yu Ji felt complicated, and Jiang Quan was even more stunned.

Your Majesty, are you asking the wrong person?
He is just a eunuch with a disabled body, how could he understand love?

but……

Jiang Quan hunched over, patting the emperor's butt with a big smile on his face, "Your Majesty's power and virtue are respected by all the people in the world. Although I am disabled and don't understand love, the sincerity of Lady Shu towards Your Majesty shows that Lady Shu, like me, respects Your Majesty the most. Your servant——"

Jiang Quan was enjoying spanking the dragon so much that he didn't notice that the face of Emperor Yu Ji, who was being spanked, was shrouded in a cloud.

"Shut up!"

With a cold rebuke, Jiang Quan felt a chill in his heart under the indifferent gaze of Emperor Yu Ji.

It’s not easy to shoot dragon farts these days…

"If you don't speak, I won't think you are dumb!" Emperor Yu Ji swept a cold gaze over Jiang Quan.

What grade? !

How dare you compare yourself with Concubine Shu!

Emperor Yu Ji himself did not realize that when he was standing up for Shen Qingtang, he suddenly seemed to have just recognized Jiang Quan, who was smiling all the time. His phoenix eyes, which were like deep and silent pools, suddenly closed in disgust.

"Go out and wait. I don't want to see you now." The memorials were more pleasing to the eyes than Jiang Quan.

After saying that, Emperor Yu Ji completely ignored Jiang Quan's broken heart and raised his hand impatiently. His urging and disapproving look made Jiang Quan slump his back even more miserably.

We feel wronged, but we won’t say it.

Our dog is no longer the emperor’s favorite!
……

"My Lord, are you homesick?"

On the way back, Shen Qingtang lowered her head slightly. When her thoughts were drifting away, she was suddenly brought back to reality by Amber's voice.

She turned around and saw Amber comforting her.

"It's July now. It won't be long before you can meet the Master, the Madam, and the Young Master at the New Year's Banquet."

Amber spoke seriously, and Shen Qingtang became a little curious under her comforting voice.

"Don't you miss home?" Amber shouldn't be an orphan, right?
It was only now that she realized she knew nothing about amber.

As for her, Shen Qingtang only knew that she was picked up by Shen Qingfeng from a stray dog ​​and brought back to the Shen family, but -

Shen Qingtang's eyes flickered. Amber was proficient in medicine, so she must not have been born in an ordinary family. But he didn't know where she got her medical skills from. As Shen Qingtang was thinking, a trace of grief suddenly flashed across Amber's pretty face.

"Where is my home?"

"Because I am the only daughter of my parents, my uncle and aunt killed them in order to embezzle my father's clinic. Now I have no home to go back to."

Amber took a deep breath, and under Shen Qingtang's distressed gaze, she forced back her tears, and instead grinned to comfort Shen Qingtang.

"My lady, please don't feel bad. Although my parents died unjustly, I have already avenged them."

Is Amber's life story so miserable?

only--

Shen Qingtang asked uncertainly: "You said you have taken revenge?"

Does Amber have the guts to kill someone?
As if she could see what Shen Qingtang was thinking, Amber waved her hands awkwardly.

"No, no, it's not what you think. I took advantage of the situation and pushed my uncle and aunt into the pit when they were drunk." Even if they were lucky enough not to die, they would be disgusted for the rest of their lives.

"Push into the pit?" What kind of niche way of revenge is this?

It’s better to end it with one stroke!

Seeing Shen Qingtang's indescribable expression, Amber slumped her shoulders in dejection.

"My lady, do you think I am useless?" She didn't dare to kill anyone.

She was afraid that after taking someone's life, she would never be able to escape.

Amber was in a bad mood, Shen Qingtang couldn't help but touch her head, "No,"

"Parents always hope that their children can be well. You were not blinded by hatred, but you avenged them in your own way. If your parents are still alive, they certainly would not want you to bear the blood debt."

"My lady..." Amber sniffed sadly.

Under Amber's moved gaze, Shen Qingtang patted her shoulder comfortingly.

"So, your medical skills were inherited from your parents?"

Amber nodded heavily, "It's my father."

Suddenly thinking of something, Amber looked at Shen Qingtang a little uneasily.

"But don't worry, young master. Although my medical skills are not as good as my father's, I can avoid any harm to your body if there is no accident."

"I believe—"

Before Shen Qingtang could finish his words, Amber, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, suddenly grabbed him.

"My lord, be careful!"

The accident happened suddenly. Just as Shen Qingtang was staggering due to being dragged by Amber, a black cat with bared fangs and claws suddenly fell from the sky.

“Meow~ meow~”

Perhaps because it was frightened, its sharp claws grabbed straight towards Shen Qingtang.

However, just when it was about to scratch Shen Qingtang, an agile figure flashed past her from behind like lightning. Amidst the sharp and piercing cat cries, the attacking black cat had already been grabbed by someone's thick neck.

Shen Qingtang looked carefully and saw that the person who rescued her was none other than the first favorite concubine, Zhenui Consort.

How could Concubine Zhengui appear by such a coincidence?
I wonder if Princess Zhengui heard the conversation between her and Amber just now...

Shen Qingtang quickly recalled and made sure that the two of them had not said anything inappropriate. Then he pretended to be frightened and thanked Concubine Zhengui with a grateful look.

"Thank you for your help, Imperial Concubine. If it weren't for you, I would have been caught by this evil cat."

"Humph~"

In response to Shen Qingtang's thanks, the noble and cold Concubine Zhengui could only snort coldly.

"I didn't know that Lady Shu was so timid. You are so scared by a cat. You are really useless."
