When Zhou Jin praised Xu Shu, he didn't forget to praise herself. Xu Shu couldn't help but smile. A faint smile hung on his face, just like Xu Shu's beloved crabapple, without any fragrance, not fighting with the fragrance, but it attracted people's attention. Zhou Jin couldn't help but be stunned, and his face gradually touched.

"Miss……"

Yuzhu pushed the door and frightened Zhou Jin so much that she immediately sat upright, "What's the matter?"

"Prince..." Yuzhu was blessed, "I stewed soup for the lady in the kitchen!"

"Take it over!"

Yuzhu walked around the screen with the soup and saw Xu Shu sitting in Zhou Jin's arms. Her face turned red. Zhou Jin pointed to the small table beside the bed, "Let it go here!" Yuzhu put down the stewing pot and immediately flashed out.

Xu Shu listened to Yuzhu's messy footsteps and said strangely, "Why does Yuzhu seem to be afraid of you, she is leaving so urgently!"

"I'm probably afraid that I'll eat you! Come and drink the soup! This is wild pheasant soup, which is warm and nourishing!" Zhou Jin blew the soup in the spoon and fed it to Xu Shu's mouth.

Now that Xu Shu has the strength to be fed again, she feels a little awkward, "I'll do it myself!"

"Can you hold it?" Zhou Jin was worried.

"...I can't even hold a bowl!"

Xu Shu was stared at by Zhou Jin and drank three bowls before she was let go. She was so full that she was spread on the bed to rest. Zhou Jin was handling official duties aside. After finishing the matter, she looked back and saw that Xu Shu had already gotten up at some point. Because the room was warm, Xu Shu was wearing only clothes and put a cloak on the edge of the bed in a daze. After a closer look, Xu Shu was "looking" at the letter Deng Yarong wrote to her.

Zhou Jin put down his brush and sat next to Xu Shu. He touched Xu Shu's hand. He found that her hands were warm, so he stopped urging her to add clothes. "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

"How do you want to deal with this matter..." Deng Yarong's letter was not needed, but what Deng Yarong said in the letter could not be ignored.

Zhou Jin smiled and said, "I thought you didn't plan to pursue it anymore?"

"I'm a little sensible and can't tolerate anyone calculating me again and again! What's more, they didn't succeed in Taichang Palace last time. I think there will be further actions, so I really don't have much patience!"

"It's important for you to recuperate now. I'll help you with this matter!" Zhou Jin took the initiative to help, not only because he felt sorry for Xu Shu but also because he was sick, but more importantly, Zhou Jin was worried that Xu Shu would still be soft-hearted at the critical moment, so he finally let them go and left behind the troubles.

Xu Shu was silent and did not nod, and did not refuse. Finally, she just said, "Xu Ting is now the fourth young lady of Duke Rong's Mansion. Duke Rong's Mansion is the mother's home of Concubine Zhen. If Xu Ting is touched, it will inevitably implicate the Qi family. At that time, Concubine Zhen's face will be lost!"

Xu Shu took into account Concubine Zhen and took care of him. Zhou Jin felt warm, "Don't worry, you won't implicate the Qi family! But what I didn't expect was Xu Ting, not Gao Zhinan!"

"The last time I was in Taichang Palace, I broke the sword and broke it in one fell swoop!" Xu Shu sighed softly and looked at Zhou Jin calmly, "I told her that I will never be a princess, so she chose to stand on the side of the queen mother!"

Zhou Jin's expression paused slightly. Xu Shu's words were actually showing her feelings to him in disguise, but so what? Since it is a matter between them, what she said alone doesn't count!

"Since you've gotten ready, I'll do it with confidence. Don't blame me for being ruthless!" Thinking of Xu Shu's repeated distancing with him because she took care of Gao Zhinan, Zhou Jin couldn't help but take his anger a little.

"She has a life in her hand, and it's not too much for her to pay her life..." Xu Hui's death was a hurdle that Xu Shu could never overcome. Zhou Jin held Xu Shu's shoulders and wanted to support her and give her strength. Xu Shu breathed quietly, "Diet is a bargain for her!"

"I understand!" Zhou Jin nodded, and when he heard something seemed to be happening outside the door, he hesitated for a moment, and Xu Shu said, "It's Li Qi coming, you go, I'm going to rest!"

"Okay!" Zhou Jin left the cloak for Xu Shu, and Xu Shu lay down with the opportunity. Zhou Jin tucked the corners of her quilt for her, "Get a good rest!"

Xu Shu closed her eyes and sighed in her heart. What should she do now?

In the hazy state, Xu Shu felt something hit her face. She reached out and touched it. It was a piece of paper. She closed her eyes and said with a slight anger, "Zhuang Li!"

"Awaken?" Zhuang Li sneered, "You are so cruel, you bet on your life. This time the prince was firmly grasped by you. You have used this trick of trying to get it so well!"

"Whatever you think!" Xu Shu threw away the paper ball in her hand, her voice was indifferent. Zhuang Li was not worth it for Zhou Jin, and she was not worth it for Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin should be far away from her... It's good! Zhuang Li is now focused on Zhou Jin, and Zhou Jin will no longer suspect that he has a second intention. He will be valued in the future, and Zhuang Li will get what he wants.

"Am I wrong?" The paper ball that Xu Shu threw away was quickly taken into his hand by Zhuang Li. "You know that the prince is concerned about you, even if you are cruel and heartless, the prince still can't let you go. You forced him with your life, and finally made the prince devote himself to you. Even this morning court almost missed!"

"I didn't know that I still have such great skills!"

Xu Shu laughed at herself. She never thought about playing with Zhou Jin's feelings, but in the end she still hurt him helplessly. She never expected that she should have had her life for another life, and her contact with Zhou Jin should have ended abruptly yesterday. However, God was willing to do something, and she dragged her broken and weak body to survive until today. Now she can't move forward or retreat...

"You are very capable!" Zhuang Li seemed to have already determined that Xu Shu was a sinister person. "The Jingyuan is no longer as good as the Jingyuan in the past. Now everyone knows that the prince lives in Jingyuan. The prince brings you back to Jingyuan, so he can hide it from the common people outside, but he can't hide it from the court. If the prince wants to maintain your reputation, he will naturally give you a title. With the prince's thoughts about you, how can he bear to be a concubine? The position of the prince's concubine is naturally yours!"

"Well..." Xu Shu nodded in agreement, "You are right. It seems that the position of the Crown Princess is indeed my fault. It seems that I have bet right, but I will get what I want if I use a little bitter trick!"

"The beauty scheme is followed by a bitter flesh scheme..." Zhuang Li sneered, "Are you still going to use all the thirty-six strategies on the prince?"

"What? The prince is willing to accept it, but you are unfair to speak for him?" Xu Shu raised her eyebrows, her face full of mockery and jokes.

"You! Why did you become like this?" Zhuang Li was shocked and felt angry, "Do you know what the prince just did?"

"What did he do?" Xu Shu asked casually. Li Qi had something important to find Zhou Jin just now. Does Zhou Jin still have time to do something else?
