C164 Operation of Criminal Affairs

When Jiegeng walked out of the palace gates, she felt lucky in her heart. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager was not feeling well today, so she went to rest early. Otherwise, how could she have gotten free so early?

She really hoped that the Empress Dowager would feel unwell in the future!

This thought had just appeared in Jiegeng's mind when Jiegeng immediately thought of ways to erase it.

I am a doctor, how can I have such a malicious idea?

"Invite the princess to the palanquin." The eunuch at the palace gates said while pinching his throat.

Jiegeng shook her hand, "No need."

"Princess, this is against the rules."

"Why? I'm a princess, yet I still want to listen to you?" Jiegeng imitated Shihan and pretended to be angry. In the past, wet nurse Xi would definitely send her back to the residence. Today... wet nurse Xi had to take care of the Empress Dowager and could not care about her anymore. Jiegeng could not let go of this good opportunity!

"This servant dare not!" The eunuch was so scared that he immediately knelt down and begged, "But wet nurse Xi..."

"That's enough." Jiegeng waved her hand," If there is anything, this princess will bear it with all her might. "

Jiegeng walked on the streets. For the first time in the past few days, she felt the feeling of freedom. It seems like my grandfather was not very strict with me in the past. I really don't know how the young ladies in the capital got hurt.

Jiegeng shook her head. Her own clay Buddha had crossed the river and it was hard for her to protect herself. How could she have the time to worry about others?

Jiegeng walked leisurely and was then knocked on the head from behind. Jiegeng covered her head and turned around. She saw Qi and Hsing Zheng fighting on the street.

"Jiegeng, quickly let your maid stop." Hsing Zheng shouted at Jiegeng while dealing with her.

"Qi, don't stop. Teach him a good lesson!" Jiegeng looked like she was watching a show.

"I am the Crown Prince of Qi Country. If anything happens to me, what do you think will happen to me?"

Jiegeng stared at him and said helplessly, "Alright, Qi, withdraw!"

Once she received Jiegeng's order, Qi immediately withdrew her hand and disappeared.

"It is definitely not because of poor martial arts but because it is not good to make a move on women." Hsing Zheng walked to Jiegeng's side and explained for himself.

Jiegeng smiled hypocritically at him, "May I know what business does Prince Hsing have?"

"Let's reminisce about old times."

"Hello, Crown Prince." Jiegeng nodded and smiled.

Hsing Zheng wanted to say something but was interrupted by Jiegeng.

"Goodbye, Crown Prince!"

After Jiegeng said that, she turned around and left.

"Hey!" Hsing Zheng immediately stopped Jiegeng.

"What are you doing again?" Jiegeng asked him unhappily.

"Hiding your identity previously was purely a helpless action. Today, I am here to apologize. I don't know what to do either. Why don't you tell me?"

" Are you serious? " Jiegeng raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Yes!"

"Okay, you first drive away the servants following you."

Hsing Zheng signaled with his eyes, and those people immediately disappeared.

"And then?"

"And then, you just follow."

After that, Hsing Zheng followed Jiegeng in and out of various shops. Unknowingly, Hsing Zheng took a large pile of bags.

After Jiegeng spent an entire afternoon's worth of money, Jiegeng let Hsing Zheng go.

When Jiegeng leisurely drank tea in the main hall, Bai Ye suddenly appeared.

Seeing the things on the floor, Bai Ye could not help but ask, "How many shops did you empty?"

"What are you in a hurry for? I don't need to move, nor do I need to pay. Why not?"

"Who is it?"

"You don't need to care. He's just an idiot. " Jiegeng put down the teacup. "Big Brother, what do you want?"

"Someone is looking for you!"

Just as Bai Ye finished speaking, Jiegeng saw Duan Shuang's figure.

"Brother Yun!" Jiegeng immediately ran to Duan Shuang's side.

"Jiegeng, can you pay attention to your image?"

"Brother Yun, let's ignore him! Let's go to my courtyard. "

The moment they arrived at Jiegeng's courtyard, Duan Shuang got a servant to deliver a bowl of soup.

"Go to the Empress Dowager's place every day. Are you tired?"

Jiegeng picked up the bowl of soup and squinted her eyes as she asked, "This soup is?"

"Yang Lanqing brewed it well. I dare not drink it!" Duan Shuang smiled.

Jiegeng held the spoon and looked like she knew what to do.

Jiegeng drank the soup and teased, "If she knew that her heart's blood was in my stomach, what kind of expression would she have?"

"I don't know."

"She did not have any imagination." Jiegeng complained. "By the way, how long do I have to go to the Tai Chi Palace?" Jiegeng still could not help but display her coquettishness, "When I was in the Ci Yu Palace, I felt that even breathing was wrong. What is there to blindly practice every day? It is tiring and useless."

"Thank you for your hard work." Duan Shuang rubbed the knot on his head.

"Alright, I'm just complaining to you. Don't get into a conflict with the empress dowager because of me." Jiegeng was very considerate.

"You are so obedient. How should I reward you?"

Jiegeng waved her hand, "Alright!"

"Oh right, I brought you your favorite pastries."

The servant at the side immediately served a plate of pastries.

"Don't!" Jiegeng immediately refused. "Your chefs all came from the Palace. These pastries are not much different from the Empress Dowager's Palace. The moment I saw it, I felt that I was still in Ci Yu Palace."

Duan Shuang smiled and immediately got people to keep these.

The next day, Jiegeng went to the Empress Dowager's palace early in the morning.

Jiegeng stood in Cixi Palace. She originally thought that she was going to start training again, but she did not know that the Empress Dowager had changed her way of doing things today.

"Looks like the results of the past few days were not bad. You are becoming more and more handsome now." The Empress Dowager nodded her head.

Jiegeng immediately smiled, "That is because the Empress Dowager taught you well."

"Jiegeng, have you thought about it? Although this Yun'er is currently in love with you, but in the future, the Imperial Residence will definitely not only have you as a woman." The Empress Dowager roping Jiegeng in was also a helpless action. The direct line of descent of the Jiang family did not have a woman of appropriate age. It would definitely take some time to nurture another woman who could enter the Imperial Residence. Currently, the Jiang family was in a critical stage, so they could only wait and see if Jiegeng could be of use to her. When the Jiang family stabilized in the future, it would not be too late to send some female disciples of the Jiang family who listened to him into the Imperial Residence.

Jiegeng lowered her head and did not speak.

"You might not feel anything right now. But once Yun'er treats you coldly in the future and you do not have the support of the family, your days in the Imperial Residence will be very sad."

"Jiegeng believes in the Royal Highness. "Jiegeng is neither servile nor overbearing.

The Empress Dowager sneered, "Flowers never turn red. Aijia is also thinking of you. You must make plans early."

"Empress Dowager, please forgive Jiegeng for being foolish. Jiegeng does not know what the Empress Dowager means."

At this moment, the Empress Dowager was already looking at Jiegeng with disdain. Such a foolish girl, she really did not know that Qu'er had taken a liking to her!

But when she thought about it carefully, her heart felt a little more at ease. It was good that she was a little clumsy, at least it was easy to control.

"What I mean is that Aijia is willing to be your backer." The empress dowager said arrogantly.

Jiegeng was stunned. How could the Empress Dowager's attitude change so quickly?

"Correspondingly, you have to do things for Aijia." The Empress Dowager slowly added.

Jiegeng laughed in her heart. I knew there was nothing good about it.

Just as Jiegeng was about to reject, the palace staff outside suddenly reported loudly.

"Empress, watch your Ladyship arrive!"
