"I've never seen you care so much about anyone."

Cha Jiu smiled without answering, "Where's your apprentice?"

Jiang Shi frowned, "Practice a new play."

Bai Rong has been busy rehearsing a new play recently, and she hasn't come to see him for a long time.Jiang Shi's expectations for Bai Rong were worn away by time day by day, and finally he just threw up his sleeves and stopped meddling.As long as Bai Rong still bears the name of his apprentice, she can still win a good role.

Jiang Shi didn't have enough time to be a professor like Cha Jiu. After all, Zuimeng is not just a stage for singing.

"Su Qiu, you shouldn't be so nice to her." Jiang Shi said suddenly.

"Instead of pinning your hopes on others, why not try it yourself?"

Cha Jiu was speechless.

She had to admit that Jiang Shi's words were indeed somewhat reasonable.Most of the time, it's her who can't pass the test in her heart.

Jiang Shi looked at her silently for a while, "Forget it, it's better than what you were before."

He was referring to Cha Jiu's outpouring of true feelings.

Once an actor's mask is worn for a long time, it is difficult to take it off.

Seeing that Cha Jiu remained silent, Jiang Shi changed the subject, "You asked me to check this before."

----------------

Bian Shilang tried to make up for everything with his own property, but the loophole in the treasury was like a bottomless hole, how could he, an unknown official, fill it up.

After all, flimsy paper cannot contain fire.

Bian Shilang was powerless to recover from what happened. He didn't even know how the silver in the treasury disappeared.

Many clues pointed to him one by one.

Bian Shilang could no longer defend himself.

On the last day of the trial, the man told him that if he was willing to take all the charges, he could save his daughter from death...

Bian Shilang has no right to choose.

The next day, the soldiers guarding the prison discovered that the minister of household department pleaded guilty, left a blood book in the prison, and bit his tongue and committed suicide.

"Probably the action of the third prince."

The emperor is old, and civil war has already begun among many princes.Among them, the third and fifth princes had the most momentum, and all the ministers in the court also started to stand in line.

"I heard that he has recruited a lot of staff recently, and it is not a small expense to support talents."

The words have already reached this level, how could Cha Jiu not understand.

"God, it's going to change soon."

"An important guest is coming to the building soon. Su Qiu, you can rest for a while."

Jiang Shi didn't want Cha Jiu to get involved in these unpredictable disputes, what's more, the guest this time was...

All he could do was to distract her as much as possible.

This is the only way he can protect her.

Cha Jiu didn't think much about it, she thought it was just this nightmare that frightened Jiang Shi.So Jiang Shi wanted her to rest and take care of her body.

Without Jiang Shi's restriction, Cha Jiu had significantly more time.

Seeing Ze Yan's more and more obedient behavior recently, her heart that has been hovering around has finally completely let go.

After her unremitting efforts, the villain's heart of stone was finally influenced by her.

Ze Yanye didn't bother Cha Jiu anymore.Firstly, she was afraid that Cha Jiu would fall into a nightmare again.Secondly, she already has something better to accompany her~

The setting sun painted half of the tall city tower golden, but there was a loud sound of horseshoes outside the city gate.

The guard guarding the gate argued with the leader a few times with a loud voice and then gradually reduced the volume.Perhaps that person gave some favors, and the gatekeeper finally agreed to let only the leader enter the city gate first.

The city gate picked up the setting sun that had accidentally dropped and returned it.

The person riding on the horse is unhurried and seems to be very comfortable.

The sunlight behind him was monopolized, and the man stepped out of the shadows.

The blood in Cha Jiu's body froze the moment he saw the man's face clearly.

It was him.

The strength in his hand increased unconsciously, and Ze Yan's wrist hurt when he held it.

Ze Yan frowned, followed Cha Jiu's line of sight, and that person actually noticed them too.

Xiangli smiled playfully, and rode his horse towards Chajiu.

"Long time no see, beauty~"

The ones who answered him were Ze Yan's wary eyes and Cha Jiu's whole body stiffened.

"Long time no see..." Cha Jiu laughed hard, every cell in her body was clamoring to escape, but her feet were like rooted stakes, no matter how clamoring her consciousness was, she couldn't control her body.

"Let's go together. I'm going to Drunken Dreams." Xiang Li got off the horse and patted the dust on his body during the journey.

"Is this the maid serving you? She's pretty." Xiangli likes to admire all kinds of beauties.

Ze Yan walked between the two of them, and interjected calmly, "My lord, I am Ze Yan, an actor from Zuimenglou. Ah Qiu is my master."

Xiang Li nodded thoughtfully, "Oh? I happen to have time in a few days. I wonder if Miss Ze Yan would like to show you a thing or two?"

Cha Jiu's breathing stagnated, and she tugged on Ze Yan's hand.

How dare he?

"Of course. Very happy."

Seeing Cha Jiu's movements sharply, Xiang Li smiled brighter, "Miss Su Qiu must come too."

Cha Jiu gritted her teeth and didn't respond.

In the next second, Xiangli's malicious voice reached her ears, "That painting..."

"I'll do it." Cha Jiu was like a frightened bird.As long as this person is around, she even feels that her breathing is a problem.

Noticing Ze Yan's worried eyes, Cha Jiu could only forcefully smile to appease the other party and himself.In any case, she will never let Ze Yan become another self.

"It's fine. Everything is up to me." Ze Yan hugged Cha Jiu with peace of mind.

Cha Jiu lowered her head and remained silent, she needed to calm down her emotions.

Xiangli and Zeyan looked at each other, and smiled heartlessly with their lips curled up.

Ze Yan glanced at Xiangli coldly, and Xiangli restrained himself a lot.

Regarding Cha Jiu's past, she was really helpless.There was nothing she could do but sigh.

-------------

The night was silent.

Ze Yan turned the next page expressionlessly.

She swallowed, pondered carefully for several seconds, and silently memorized the content of this page.

Ze Yan secretly sprinkled requiem incense in the censer, so he was not at all worried that Cha Jiu would wake up in the middle of the night.

The person on the beam made a "puchi", and fell straight down.

"Why do you have such a hobby..." Xiang Li wiped the sweat off his brow, and a bold idea flashed in his mind, "Well, if you have that, I can draw..."

"No." From the moment she heard the other party's voice rippling, she had already guessed what this guy was going to say.

"I came to you, not for this." Ze Yan tried his best to ignore Xiang Li's eager eyes, and silently put away the script.

This is a collector's edition.

Ze Yan cleared his throat and brought the topic back on track, "Aren't you going to cooperate with the Fifth Prince?"

"Hmm. Did He Kang tell you?" Xiang Li took out a fan from his pocket and fanned himself, "The scent of requiem is a bit strong."

"Didn't you do anything for so long?" Xiang Li asked with great interest.

"Uh..." Ze Yan was stunned for a few seconds, "Does it count if you touch the little hand..."

"Hahahaha. You don't know how to be so innocent!" Xiang Li laughed wildly.

The tic-tac-toe on Ze Yan's forehead popped up, "One word, do you want something?"

"Hahaha, I want it!"

Ze Yan quietly looked at this idiot who laughed like a sieve, and rolled his eyes speechlessly, "I haven't bothered with you about what you did before."

Xiang Li didn't take it seriously, "If it wasn't for me, her end would have been even more tragic. I'm already fine, just drawing a picture..."

Ze was silent.This is a fact.

"That's right. Do you want to make a deal?" Xiang Li smiled obsequiously.

"Say."

"Seven treasures in exchange for paintings~"

"Four books."

"Six copies! It can't be lower!" Xiangli gritted his teeth and bargained.

"Three copies plus the author's address. Love it or not!"

"make a deal!"
