Chapter 66
"It must be Sister Shen, only she will know that the two of us were punished for sneaking out of the house. Sister Shen is so kind."

Liu Yunxiao smiled sweetly, Liu Yunyan looked at the word Gu engraved on the food box, and did not move.

When he was escorted home by those people, he knew that his identity would be exposed, but he was not too worried, because she would definitely let Liu Yunxiao's deceit go by for the sake of Liu Yunxiao's sake.

She must have prepared all these food for Liu Yunxiao.

It can't be seen that she, Gu Jiaojiao, is still an infatuated kind.

"Say thank you to your lady for me."

Liu Yunyan's voice was a little hoarse because he hadn't drank water for a long time, and he closed his eyes again, not intending to move his chopsticks.

Liu Yunxiao had already had a great time eating. Seeing that his brother was unmoved, he stopped his chopsticks and asked suspiciously.

"Brother, why don't you eat it? No matter what, it's Sister Shen's wish."

"Eat more if you like."

Liu Yunyan's voice was cold. He felt that there was no need to explain to Liu Yunxiao whose intentions these meals were, so he replied indifferently.

The attendant silently remembered the reaction of the two brothers, and reported to Gu Jiaojiao after returning to Zhenjiang Palace.

"He really didn't eat a bite?"

Gu Jiaojiao frowned, she teased Liu Yunyan a few words, but it wouldn't make him bear such a grudge against her.

"Until the subordinate left, Mr. Liu did not move his chopsticks."

The attendant replied cautiously, he was a little curious as to why Shi Daughter was suddenly interested in those two people, but he didn't dare to ask.

"What a stubborn ass."

Gu Jiaojiao clicked her tongue, she waved her hand to send the servants out, picked up a piece of clothing, put it on her body, and got up from the bed.

If he continues to be so stubborn, he doesn't know if his body can bear it.

Without much hesitation, Gu Jiaojiao dragged her sick body out of the mansion. She went to the dim sum shop to pick out some random items, and carried them over the wall into the backyard of Liu Mansion.

Hidden all the way to find the ancestral hall, Gu Jiaojiao looked around cautiously, and after confirming that there was no one there, she raised her hand and pushed open the heavy wooden door, and stepped in lightly.

Hearing footsteps again, Liu Yunyan felt a little impatient, this time she didn't even open her eyes.

Gu Jiaojiao walked up to Liu Yunyan and sat down beside her. She saw Liu Yunxiao curled up on the futon, sleeping soundly with her hands on her pillow, and she hummed softly.

"He's heartless."

A familiar female voice with a smile sounded beside his ears, Liu Yunyan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked over, his face unable to hide his astonishment.

"Why did you come here?"

"Come and see my savior, shouldn't it be?"

Gu Jiaojiao casually threw the snacks on Liu Yunyan's lap, her wounds had not yet healed, and her complexion was really not pretty.

Liu Yunyan looked at Gu Jiaojiao's bloodless lips, and subconsciously clenched the rope that tied the dessert tightly.

"If you are injured, you should stay in bed. If you are not fully recovered, you should run around in Jincheng. If the injury gets worse..."

"Don't worry, I won't rely on you."

Gu Jiaojiao touched her nose indifferently, seeing that Liu Yunyan was not moving, she simply reached out to help him unpack it.

"Although you are really a man, it's fine if you agree to it with your body. Just treat it as my debt to you. If you need my help in the future, just ask."

With the opening of the oil bag, the sweet and soft smell of the pastry slowly wafted out. Liu Yunyan has not eaten a drop of water since he left the city. It is a lie to say that he is not hungry.

He looked down at Gu Jiaojiao's slender fingers as she pushed the brown oil paper aside, the pure white milk cake inside reminded him of her suet-like skin that was half-undressed at that time.

So he blushed.

"Hurry up and eat, I should go back after you finish eating."

Gu Jiaojiao looked at Liu Yunyan leisurely, her usually cynical eyes looked very affectionate in the dim candlelight.

Liu Yunyan hesitantly picked up a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth with lowered eyes.

Because of the strict etiquette education she received since she was a child, Liu Yunyan ate very elegantly, she couldn't see her lips moving, and the piece of her Adam's apple entered her belly when she moved slightly.

"Did you come here just to watch me eat?"

"If you wish, it is."

Gu Jiaojiao didn't deny it, but she also admitted it not frankly.

She didn't know what Liu Yunyan thought of her now, so she didn't dare to make fun of her like before.

Liu Yunyan let out an oh, and when she lowered her eyelids, her gaze swept past Liu Yunxiao's face.

At least this box of dim sum didn't fall under his influence.

After Liu Yunyan finished eating, Gu Jiaojiao really stopped bothering her. She left a piece of jade pendant, saying it was a token of gratitude, and if it was inconvenient for him in the future, he could ask others to bring the token to the Zhenjiang Palace to find her.

Listening to Gu Jiaojiao's footsteps walking away slowly, Liu Yunyan grasped the jade pendant more and more tightly with her fingers.

……

After recuperating for a few days, Gu Jiaojiao's body has almost recovered. She begged the empress for a favor and wanted to handle the case with Jin Yusi.

The empress agreed immediately, and personally appointed her a powerful official with no real power.

After changing into a purple official uniform, Gu Jiaojiao headed to the Jin Yu Division under the leadership of the palace servants. Shen Ruxue worked here, so she could be regarded as a half acquaintance.

"Sister Ruxue, we met again, what a coincidence."

Gu Jiaojiao bent her eyes and smiled harmlessly. When Shen Ruxue saw the official uniform on her body, a deep furrow formed between her brows.

"What are you doing here?"

Gu Jiaojiao glanced at the servant, who immediately understood and explained with a smile:
"My daughter came here to supervise Mr. Shen to handle the case under the order of the empress. If Mr. Shen is incapable of handling the matter, my daughter can directly report to the empress."

Because Shen Ruxue was one of the parties involved, the empress entrusted this matter to her for investigation.

"The minister leads the order."

Shen Ruxue clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. She had always disliked Gu Jiaojiao, but now she was being ridden on her head by the other party, how could she be happy in her heart.

Gu Jiaojiao was not affected by Shen Ruxue's reluctance at all, she smiled and said goodbye to the palace attendant, found a chair to sit down, and crossed her legs carelessly.

"Sister Ruxue, I don't know how far you have gone in this case?"

Shen Ruxue didn't speak, just stared at Gu Jiaojiao with her eyes.

Gu Jiaojiao pulled out a folding fan from her sleeve, and fanned herself slowly, her eyelids slightly narrowed.

"Sister Ruxue, I heard that Jin Yusi has always been strict in rules and regulations. I don't know what punishment will be given to subordinates who dare to contradict their boss?"

"For the first time, a one-month salary and twenty sticks will be used as a warning, and those who refuse to correct themselves will be expelled from the Golden Feather Division at fifty."

Shen Ruxue replied subconsciously, seeing Gu Jiaojiao's bright smile, her face immediately sank.

Gu Jiaojiao pretended not to see Shen Ruxue's expression, and said generously: "Sister Ruxue, for the sake of our personal relationship, I won't punish your salary this time, but it's not an exception."
