Chapter 62 Shen Jing, You Must Come

"What reason do you plan to find to execute Ji Xiuxu?"

"I don't need to find a reason. I have found a more suitable person to help me do it." Shen Weixiao now wants a good reputation and does not intend to do it himself.

The Queen Mother saw that Shen Weixiao didn't say who it was, so she tactfully changed the subject.

"When will you issue an order to marry the Crown Prince to Ji Yunchu?"

"Soon." Shen Weixiao smiled intriguingly.

If Ji Yunchu wants to be the Crown Princess, she has to let him see her sincerity. No one who enters the palace has clean hands.

At this moment, Ji Anyu walked out of the palace and saw the familiar carriage from afar.

After thanking Nanny Jiang, she skillfully took out a gold leaf from her waist bag and presented it to Nanny Jiang with both hands.

"Miss Ji, you are too polite. I am only following orders. Miss Ji has left the Duke's Mansion now. You will have many places to spend money in the future. Keep it for yourself." Nanny Jiang turned around and left without any reluctance.

Ji Anyu immediately became more fond of Nanny Jiang. In the past, palace servants always wanted to make some money no matter what they did.

She looked at Nanny Jiang's back as she returned to the palace with a smile on her face.

"Miss Ji, the prince invites you." Zhu Sha stood beside Ji Anyu without him knowing.

"Well, go over now."

Ji Anyu put away the gold leaves as he walked away.

He got on the carriage in a very good mood, and saw Shen Jing wearing a jade crown and a white robe with gold thread patterns. Shen Jing looked particularly gentle and scholarly.

"Prince Shen, you are a little different today than you were in the past."

Shen Jing was in a good mood because of the food Ji Anyu sent yesterday. He was in an even better mood when he heard that Ji Anyu gave Wei Songlin's jade Buddha to the Queen Mother.

"What's the difference?" He looked at Ji Anyu tenderly.

Ji Anyu tilted his head, "Hmm... I can't really say."

"By the way, Master Shen, do you know that your head is worth a thousand taels of gold and a hundred acres of fertile land? The imperial concubine said that if she kills you, she will give me another reward."

Shen Jing frowned slightly, with disdain flashing in her eyes.

"Is my head worth so little?"

Ji Anyu smiled secretly. It seemed that the money in Prince Zhong’s Mansion was more than what the imperial concubine promised. The imperial concubine was so stingy.

"Ji Anyu, are you tempted? Do you want to take my head?" Shen Jing said gritting his teeth.

"I knew you were mean and evil! Humph!"

"I don't want to agree, but the imperial concubine forced me to drink a bowl of medicine." A sly smile flashed across Ji Anyu's eyes.

"Did you drink?"

Shen Jing suddenly approached Ji Anyu, gently pinched Ji Anyu's cheeks, and lifted them slightly.

"Ji Anyu, how much did you drink? Are you dizzy?"

Seeing Shen Jing getting very close to her, Ji Anyu turned her head away a little nervously.

"I didn't drink. Nanny Jiang, who was beside the Queen Mother, broke into the room and forcibly took me away. You were not there at the time. The Imperial Concubine's face was so dark that she looked like she wanted to eat someone."

Shen Jing realized that Ji Anyu was teasing him and sat back in anger.

"Prince Shen, was it because of the Imperial Concubine that you were seriously injured last time?"

"Ah."

"You have no grudge against the imperial concubine, and you are not competing with her son for the throne. Why would she want to kill you?"

"I don't know." Shen Jing's mind wandered off. Perhaps only by finding his father could he know the inside story.

After a moment, Shen Jing bared his teeth and threatened, "You'd better stay away from the Wei family, otherwise you will be skinned alive and I, the prince, will not be able to save you."

"Especially stay away from Wei Songlin!"

"Oh." Ji Anyu nodded calmly.

Shen Jing felt as if he was hitting cotton and couldn't even breathe.

"You don't want to ask me why I stopped you from contacting Wei Songlin?"

"Didn't you say that the Wei family would skin me alive? I know." Are you so easy to talk to today?
Shen Jing was stunned for a moment, and his attention was suddenly attracted by Ji Anyu's actions.

"Shen Shizi, why do you think the Queen Mother gave me the jade bracelet? I think this jade bracelet is very much loved by the Queen Mother."

Ji Anyu rubbed the jade bracelet with her fingertips, but her eyes were on Shen Jing.

She always felt something was wrong when she held something that was not given for nothing.

Shen Jing looked at the jade bracelet on Ji Anyu's wrist with a complicated expression.

"I never thought that the Queen Mother would give it to you."

"What does this jade bracelet mean to the Queen Mother?" Ji Anyu quickly took off the jade bracelet. In fact, she was more afraid that the Queen Mother wanted her to be the Crown Princess.

"It was given to the Queen Mother by her mother when she got married, and she has been wearing it on her hand for many years."

Ji Anyu wanted to cry but had no tears. "Shen Jing, why did the Queen Mother give it to me? I just gave the Queen Mother the Jade Buddha to show my loyalty to the Queen Mother and the Emperor. The Queen Mother...she wouldn't let me enter the palace, right?"

She didn't want to enter the palace.

Shen Jing couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ji Anyu was sad because she didn't want to enter the palace.

"After you enter the palace, you will be able to live a life of luxury, with food and clothes provided for you, and a bunch of people waiting on you. Hahahaha..."

"What are you laughing at? I don't want to! Weren't you also unwilling for me to enter the palace before? Now you can actually laugh!" Ji Anyu punched him.

Shen Jing caught the fist, "Don't be upset yet, the Queen Mother must have learned that you saved me, so she wanted to thank you."

Ji Anyu calmed down. This must be the reason. She couldn't think of any other reason.

"Oh, really, it's just a piece of cake for me." Ji Anyu grinned, waved his hand shamelessly, and put away the jade bracelet with peace of mind.

The corners of Shen Jing's mouth twitched helplessly, the change was so fast.

"Prince Shen, do you know that Ji Yunchu and the Imperial Concubine have a close relationship?"

"I know." He is neither a member of the Crown Prince's party nor the Second Prince's party. Even if he knows something, he will pretend not to know.

At most, I could grab a handful of melon seeds and sit in the middle to watch the show.

"Ji Yunchu finally entered the palace, but she didn't go to the prince or the queen, but stayed with the prince's mortal enemy, the imperial concubine. It's really puzzling. Can you find out what the imperial concubine instructed Ji Yunchu to do?"

"It's nothing more than being a pawn, monitoring the actions of the Crown Prince and the Queen."

Ji Anyu remembered that Ji Yunchu had no contact with the imperial concubine in her previous life. It seemed that she died too early and she didn't have time to know some things.

"Shen Jing, will you go to celebrate the birthday of Marquis Nan's wife?" She was really afraid that she would be trapped in Marquis Nan's mansion like in her previous life.

"Of course not, but if you want me to go, I can go and take a look."

Shen Jing saw that Ji Anyu was smiling a little sadly, as if something was clamoring for him to catch it, but he felt that he couldn't catch it, and his heart was in a panic.

"If you are afraid of going to Nanhou Mansion, don't force yourself to go."

Ji Anyu shook her head firmly. This birthday party was very important and she had to go.

"Young Master, we've arrived at the Ji Mansion!" Zhusha shouted happily, not knowing the atmosphere in the carriage.

Ji Anyu pretended to get off the car and turned back to look at Shen Jing seriously.

"Shen Jing, you must come."

After saying this, she got out of the car without looking back.

Shen Jing was not used to Ji Anyu's serious look.

What is the grudge between her and Wei Luoyan?

Zhusha's cheerful voice interrupted Shen Jing's thoughts.

"My Lord, the meat pies in the west of the city should be ready by now. Since I'm supposed to have a day off today, could you allow me to drive over to buy two meat pies?"

Just know how to eat!

Shen Jing gave him a fierce look.

"Go buy a set of mourning clothes and send them to Nanhou Mansion!"

"Ah? The Nanhou Mansion holds a birthday banquet and sends mourning clothes... This job is too offensive." Zhu Sha complained silently. He didn't know how many people hated him.
