The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 143
Lu Jing Yu furrowed her brows at the beautiful girl dressed in male clothes in front of her. Her hair was not decorated with hairpins or beautifully styled but rather tied a ponytail with a black jade bracelet with a flame pattern that bound her. Her body stood upright like a true warrior instead of like any other beautiful girl. Her pretty face looked mysterious as it looked so resolute.
"Sister-in-law ah wrong. I should have started calling Her Highness the Crown Princess, the crown prince asked me to be your personal bodyguard from this point on." Pei Shi Liang said confidently. He lifted his chin proudly. Seeing her sister-in-law like that made Lu Jing Yu massage her temple in frustration. What problem did her husband give her this time?
"Don't call me that. Calling in the usual way. Why are you wearing clothes like this anyway? If anyone saw you wandering around here in this kind of clothes, not knowing what people would think about this residence. Perhaps they would think that King Rui's residence was acting arbitrarily to treat an Emperor's daughter to be a guard." Lu Jing Yu grumbled at Pei Shi Liang's appearance.
"No problem. I'm used to wearing men's clothes like this. After all, when practicing swords, it's impossible to wear a woman's hanfu, right?" Pei Shi Liang held his sword that he held in his belt.
"But I'm sure there must be a woman's hanfu that suits the female swordsman. Quickly change clothes and dress up pretty. Right now all I need is a friend instead of a guard."
"I don't think the crown prince's sister knows what happened at the Lima's sister's residence, do you?" Pei Shi Liang obviously did not want to change clothes. After all for him male hanfu is easier to use and more comfortable to use moving.
"What's going on? Nothing happened to His Majesty, did it?" Lu Jing Yu asked in panic. Lately, a lot of problems have arisen. And now it was sudden that Zhu Man Xie died after receiving a not-so-numbered whip sentence. Lu Jing Yu had a premonition that Zhu Man Xie's death was definitely not as simple as it looked on the surface. So the moment he heard something happen that the Pei Qin Yang residence where Pei Zhang Xi was at this moment of course made Lu Jing Yu worried.
"The crown prince's brother is fine. But he was worried about the safety of the crown princess' sister-in-law. So ask me to come here."
"Aish! Can't you really change that call? If a long call like that makes the ears uncomfortable."
"Forget it!" Lu Jing Yu gritted her teeth ignoring the call of Pei Shi Liang which sounded very strange when she heard the girl call him that. The most important thing right now was to find out what was happening in Pei Qin Yang's current residence.
Pei Shi Lian thought for a while before telling Lu Jing Yu the state and conjecture of Pei Zhang Xi to Lu Jing Yu. Pei Zhang Xi specifically advised him not to hide anything about the incident at the Pei Qin Yang residence from Lu Jing Yu and told him if his wife asked. Although Pei Shi Lian still did not understand her brother-in-law very well, if Pei Zhang Xi alone came to believe and did not hide from her, it meant that her brother-in-law was indeed worthy.
Lu Jing Yu nodded in understanding. Then think for a while before giving the order after finding an idea. "All right, I understand. Please have someone say something to Your Majesty."
"Alright sister-in-law crown princess. I'll call someone." After Pei Shi Liang came out of his room, Lu Jing Yu asked Xiao Bei to get him some paper and ink. Then immediately wrote a few sentences before giving it to Pei Shi Liang who was received by the girl without hesitation and gave it to a guard outside to pass on to Pei Zhang Xi.
"Good Crown Princess." Chu Fei nodded and immediately moved closer to Pei Shi Liang.
"But brother..."
"What's going back to the palace now." Break up Lu Jing Yu quickly.
"Replace. I'm changing now. Don't ask me to go back to the palace." Pei Shi Liang ran as he pulled Chu Fei out of the room. Lu Jing Yu sighed while shaking her head.
Pei Zhang Xi received the message that Lu Jing Yu had sent to him in surprise. It was like getting a glimmer of light. Since then he was confused to think of the best solution to this problem. He really had to think of the most appropriate way to resolve this matter so as not to cause a huge impact as well as reveal the culprit before Zhu Man Xie's funeral ceremony.
Just as Pei Zhang Xi was discussing the plan with Mo Han, a servant came and told him that Zhu Yao Yan asked him to come to one of the rooms in the Pei Qin Yang residence.
"Old master Zhu?" Pei Zhang Xi muttered his brows. "alright. Take me there."
