Shu Nuan silently helped her pick up the things and helped her up. Wen Zhigu also waited until he stood up and raised his head, only to realize that the person who helped her was Shu Nuan. ".

"What's wrong with your hand?" Shu Nuan looked at the blood-stained gauze wrapped around her wrist, and always had bad thoughts popping into her mind.

But Wen Zhigu just replied casually: "I accidentally scratched."

After speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but before she could take half a step, she was dizzy and shaky, Shu Nuan grabbed her right hand, and she could hear that she didn't want to tell him how her hand hurt, so she didn't ask any more She fell, took her to sit on a stone chair not far away, frowned and said, "Do you want to rest for a while?"

Wen Zhigu: "I'm going to buy medicine."

Shu Nuan: "What medicine? Let me buy it for you."

Wen Zhigu looked at her and said softly, "Musk."

Hearing this, Shu Nuan didn't realize it for a moment, "Why buy that?"

Now Wen Zhigu took a strange look at Shu Nuan, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Hasn't King Sheng ever gotten into your body?"

Shu Nuan was taken aback for a moment, his face turned red when he realized something.

Probably because he didn't expect Wen Zhigu to look at Qingqing and Leng Leng, who didn't seem like someone who would say such things, but spoke so bluntly.

"I and him... no..." Shu Nuan didn't know what to say, but Wen Zhigu stared at her for a while, blinked, understood, and slowly looked away, smiling coldly : "Then he treats you very well."

Shu Nuan immediately realized what Wen Zhigu meant, but she was stunned, her eyes fell on Wen Zhigu's still flat belly, she really didn't know what to say, she opened slightly Opened his mouth: "Is it Ji Xubai?"

Wen Zhigu lowered his eyes, as acquiescence.

Shu Nuan really didn't expect Ji Xubai to be such a beast, she frowned: "Why didn't you mention this to Grand Master Li and Mr. Chen? A person like Ji Xubai is not worthy of being a tutor of the academy."

After listening to her innocent remarks, Wen Zhigu thought it was quite funny, so he smiled, and said softly and slowly: "I visited Mr. Chen once, and Mr. Chen fined Ji Xubai with one month's salary. My younger brother He was sold to Seoul as a slave."

Shunuan was silent for a while, understood what Wen Zhigu meant, lowered his eyes, and said nothing more.

This is the Northland, where the words of powerful and powerful people are effective, and those of humble status will only end up being slaughtered.

Shu Nuan turned to look at her: "If there is a good person who has the right to speak, how about exposing Ji Xubai?"

Wen Zhigu said lightly, "Are you referring to King Sheng?"

Shunuan didn't deny it.

But Wen Zhigu felt that she was too naive, couldn't help but make fun of her, and said lightly: "Shu Nuan, if I remember well, you are a subjugated slave of the Qing Dynasty, right? These powerful people like you, but they are just trying to make you new Forget it, you can still keep your own life safely by being low-key, how dare you ask him to do anything for you?"

Shu Nuan lowered his head, remembering the scene he saw outside the barracks not long ago, and remained silent.

"The most important thing is that the person you want to expose is Ji Xubai. You know his identity, right? He is the second son of Lord Ji, and his sister grew up with royal family members like King Sheng. , King Sheng will not offend the Ji family just because of you, a humble female slave."

Wen Zhigu said, paused, and then continued: "Have you heard of the incident in the womb before? The Seventh Prince insulted a nobleman in the emperor's harem, and the person who died was a nobleman. You Why do you think? These powerful people never take the lives of inferior people seriously."

Wen Zhigu has stayed in this northern city for a long time, and as time goes on, he has already seen through the intricate network of power relations in this city.

After hearing Wen Zhigu's words, Shu Nuan still had no expression on her face, but because of Wen Zhigu's words, she thought of Jing Fei's incident, and realized that her thoughts just now were too self-righteous.

She almost forgot that the word "slave" was engraved on her collarbone, an imprint that would never be erased in this lifetime.

She almost forgot that she was a subjugated female slave.

She almost indulged in the tenderness that Sheng Qianmo gave her.

Just like what Sheng Gu said before.

Ji Xili and Sheng Qianmo are childhood sweethearts, they stand together, no matter in appearance, age, status or status, they are a perfect match.

And she counts as nothing.

How could a slave girl have... that kind of thought.

Shu Nuan stood up and said softly, "You wait for me here, I'll buy it for you."

Shu Nuan found a pharmacy nearby and asked the doctor for musk.

What she didn't know at the time was that Zi Lan was picking up the medicine on the other side of the pharmacy counter.

Zilan came to get medicine for Shenggu, but she didn't expect to run into Shunuan here, and she heard clearly that Shunuan came to buy musk...

After Zilan took the medicine and paid the money, she left with her head down. After returning to the huge courtyard house that King Sheng bought for Princess Shenggu, Zilan told Shenggu about it, but Shenggu was furious when she heard it. Really, she wished that everyone in the academy knew Shu Nuan's true colors, just as she said - be a good student in the academy during the day, and can't wait to climb into King Sheng's bed at night!

It's good now, even the child will be killed quietly...

"Princess... Tell me, does King Sheng know about this?"

Sheng Gu coughed twice, gnashing his teeth a bit: "Naturally, you have to know, how could Fourth Uncle keep the seeds of a slave."

Zilan had other ideas, "What if King Sheng really doesn't know?"

Sheng Gu was slightly taken aback: "You mean, Shu Nuan came to buy musk behind Uncle Fourth's back?"

"The servant girl is just guessing like this..."

Hearing what she said, Sheng Gu became thoughtful again.

If it is said that the fourth uncle does not know, then it is impossible for Shu Nuan to buy musk behind the back of the fourth uncle. If a subjugated female slave like her has a child of the fourth uncle, she will definitely use this as a threat to arrest the fourth uncle. Uncle will not let go.

Or...the child in Count Nuan's belly...isn't fourth uncle's?

Whose would it be?

Sheng Gu remembered that Sheng Lingyun had always been obsessed with Shu Nuan, could it be that Shu Nuan secretly hooked up with Sheng Lingyun?

Thinking of this, Sheng Gu's heart trembled.

...

After Shu Nuan and Wen Zhigu bid farewell, they went back to Shenghe Palace.

However, just as he entered, he bumped into Li Yuan who was about to come out. Seeing her, Li Yuan was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Where did Miss Shu Nuan go?"

Shu Nuan replied truthfully: "I bought some food on the street."

After hearing this, Li Yuan frowned and said, "Miss Shunuan, go to Shuge to explain to the prince. The prince thought something happened to you, so he sent someone out to find you."
