Chapter 174: Why You?

It was Li Zhen and Lin Biao. They were riding horses and walking in the middle of the road. Lin Biao followed Li Zhen expressionlessly as always, protecting her every step of the way.

Li Zhen turned her head when she heard Xiao Xin's shout. Jiang Mei had already quickly turned around and entered an alley.

Jiang Mei was so frightened that the more she wanted to hide from someone, the more she didn't want to meet him. When she saw him, she was so frightened that she panicked and had no choice but to run away.

Even though she was wearing a curtain hat, her body shape could arouse his suspicion.

Sure enough, Li Zhen glanced at Xiao Xin and the two of them without paying any attention. Instead, she saw a figure wearing light pink clothes and turned around and disappeared.

But at the moment when he turned around, because he was too hasty, it seemed that the curtain of the hat had a corner, and he saw the lower half of the right side of the face, and immediately asked Xiao Xin and the others: "Who was with you just now?"

They had never spoken to their grandson before and were extremely nervous. Xiao Xin said quickly: "Ji Jiang."

Xiaoqin saw that Ji Jiang ran away after seeing his grandson, and she said: "Who are you talking about, Your Highness? It's just the two servants, and the rest are passers-by."

Li Zhen looked at Xiao Xin. Did she just say that person's name was Ji Jiang? Was it really not her?

But that face, that figure, he felt that he saw it correctly, it was her.

He couldn't care so much, so he quickly chased after it. However, during the delay, Jiang Mei saw a carriage parked at the corner. She got in without even thinking about it. After entering, she didn't see clearly what was inside.

The man begged: "There are bad people chasing me, please let me hide for a while."

She raised her head and saw the person sitting in the carriage: "Is that you?"

At first, Jiang Mei was wearing a curtain hat, and the people in the carriage didn't know who the person who suddenly ran in was.

He was about to throw her out, but he heard her voice and resisted the urge to leave in shame.

Li Chu couldn't help but frown a little when he saw her kneeling on the carriage floor in a panic and embarrassment. It was extremely indecent.

When Jiang Mei saw him frowning, she was afraid that he would kick her out, so she begged again: "Please!"

"Get up and sit down, who is chasing you?"

Jiang Mei also felt that the way she climbed onto the carriage without any pedals was extremely inelegant and rude. When Li Shu told her to sit down, she sat down next to him.

Just as Jiang Mei was about to answer him, Li Huaiyong, Li Shu's personal bodyguard, came back, holding a yam cake and saying, "Sir, I have bought the yam cake that Miss Chunshan likes to eat."

Miss Chunshan? He bought yam cake for a girl?

She immediately lowered her head.

Just yesterday, she was interested in asking about his situation. Now she heard that he was buying cakes for others. It seemed that the dreams of girls in the palace were about to be shattered.

Li Shu looked at her and asked her what she wanted to do. He was about to leave.

Jiang Mei didn't want to rely on his carriage, but she didn't dare to get off.

When she was hesitating, Li Zhen, who had been looking around, turned around and saw the carriage in the East Palace. He asked Li Huaiyong: "Uncle Li, did you see a girl wearing a curtain hat and a light pink long coat and skirt passing by?"

When Li Huaiyong saw it was Li Zhen, he saluted and said hello: "Your Highness Jin An, why are you here?"

Li Zhen was not in the mood to ask why he was here. He was anxious and said in a more serious tone: "I asked you if you saw a girl wearing a curtain hat."

Li Huaiyong is Li Shu's personal attendant and bodyguard. Wherever there is Li Shu all the year round, he must be there. He is Li Shu's retainer. Since Li Zhen calls him Uncle Li when he sees him, it can be seen that Li Huaiyong's status is usually somewhat respectable. Now,

Li Zhen got angry just to find her?

Li Shu looked at Jiang Mei. After she heard Li Zhen's voice, her whole body was obviously shaking like chaff. She unconsciously put her hand on her mouth and bit her thumb.

Hearing Li Zhen's aggravated voice, she trembled even more. Li Shu had no doubt that if she had something in her hand, like the manuscript that day, she would be frightened and drop it.

She turned her head with tears in her eyes and shook her head at her with pleading eyes, hoping that he would help her lie.

"Your Highness, I just went to buy yam cakes, and I didn't see anyone there."

Li Zhen saw her pitiful look and heard that Li Zhen looked a little angry outside. Li Zhen did not dare to rashly lift his curtain. If it had been another person, Li Zhen would have dared to lift the curtain. Otherwise, Li Zhen would have dared to lift the curtain.

Found Jiang Mei in the car.

He couldn't see her pitiful look, let alone Li Zhen's domineering look. He stood up and opened the curtain from the other side and stood on the shaft of the carriage to look at Li Zhen riding the horse.

Li Zhen originally had an attitude of not giving up until she found someone. When she saw Li Shu, she immediately jumped off her horse and prepared to salute and call her father. Li Shu thought of the people in the car and raised his hand and said, "No need."

Li Zhen cupped her hands before saluting, and when Li Shu blocked her, she stopped insisting. Li Zhen thought that her father was traveling in a light carriage, and only Li Huaiyong was following him, and she didn't want to expose his whereabouts, so she didn't speak.

"Why are you here with the Sixth Prince of Wu Di Kingdom if you are not accompanying him in the other palace at this moment?"

Li Zhen was about to explain the situation, but Li Shu said: "That's all, you go and do your own business. We'll talk about it in the evening. I have to do something now."

Li Zhen didn't dare to say anything. When she saw Li Shu turned around and entered the car, she held her hands and bowed her waist to see him off.

Jiang Mei felt relieved when she saw that he could dismiss Li Zhen with just a few words.

Li Shu took the red date and yam cake from Li Huaiyong's hand and took it in.

She then looked at the pack of three-medicine cakes that he brought in. He had specially ordered someone to buy them for others. Seeing this, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Li Shu said, "Put it on the copper stove to warm it."

She felt a little uncomfortable. Why did he need her to warm the cakes he bought for others?

Is it because she is the maid of the East Palace that she should do this?

But she didn't refute and acted obediently.

Although Li Huaiyong didn't know that Jiang Mei ran into the car, his internal strength was very good. When he sat on the shaft of the car, he felt that there was another person in the carriage. Since Li Shu didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't say anything.

Li Huaiyong was a person Li Shu trusted. He had been Li Shu's servant all his life. He knew very well what should be said and what should not be done.

But when she saw the carriage starting to move, she began to panic again. She was still in the carriage.

After the carriage traveled a certain distance, Li Shu looked at her panicked look and started to laugh a little: "Why do you always look panicked every time I see you?"

Jiang Mei was also very upset. It seemed that she had never had a good impression in front of him.

She was confused and said with an embarrassed look: "I was reckless. Thank you just now."

She thought he was very powerful and helped her solve the problem immediately.

"Are you hiding from your grandson?"

Li Shu looked at her. Her eyes flickered and she hesitated. Li Shu said, "That's it. If you don't want to say it, just don't say it. It's a lie anyway."

Jiang Mei felt extremely embarrassed again. She was really thinking about making up some lie just now. How could she reveal her identity? She didn't know if the man in front of her had a good relationship with Li Zhen. If she told the truth, she would be doomed.

Hearing what Li Shu said, she breathed a sigh of relief. It felt great not to have to lie, so she smiled kindly at him.
