Chapter 31 His Majesty's Invitation

"What do you think?" The commander looked at Jiang Chuan Shang expectantly.

Hearing the names of Abe Haruaki and Ashiya Doman, Egawakami was thoughtful. After a moment of silence, he considered his physical condition and finally nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed to go.

"Then wait for me to wash and dress up before we set off." Jiang Chuan Shang said slowly.

At this moment, the followers were as anxious as ants on hot pot.

He secretly calculated the time, and seeing that the time for the audience with His Majesty the Emperor was approaching, he could not help but whisper in Abe Haruaki's ear:

"Sir, time is running out. We must hurry to meet His Majesty the Emperor." His words were full of urgency.

So Abe Haruaki said softly: "Your princess has no intention of punishing you, she is just a little sleepy, you should escort her back to rest quickly. I have important things to deal with, so I'll say goodbye now."

After he finished speaking, Abe Haruaki turned around and left with his entourage.

Jiang Chuan Shang silently watched their backs gradually going away until they completely disappeared, then he slowly said: "Get up, I don't intend to punish you, as he said, let's go back."

"Yes, sir. I will escort you back to the palace to rest." The maid replied hurriedly and stood up swiftly.

"Ah."

After receiving the response, Jiang Chuan Shang walked towards his palace with the help of his maid.

When the two of them returned, Jiang Chuanshang saw that the small incense burner was still emitting wisps of white smoke.

His face was as gloomy as water, and he pointed his finger directly at it. Although his voice was low, it was cold and emotionless: "Throw this thing out of here."

"Your Highness, you must not do this! This incense burner must not be lost!" The maidservant's face was filled with anxiety. She shouted loudly and frantically, and then she knelt down on her knees with a plop.

"What? Do you need me to say it for the third time?" Jiang Chuan's face became increasingly gloomy, his eyes as cold as a knife, but his pale complexion only made him look timid, and the effect was greatly reduced.

He kicked the small coffee table to the ground with a sudden kick. With a slight bang, the small incense burner rolled out, sparks flew, and it fell to the ground with a loud clatter. The ground was covered with incense burner fragments and incense ashes, and the white smoke that was originally rising finally disappeared.

After doing this violent action, Jiang Chuan Shang felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he was hit hard by a heavy hammer. His throat tightened, a strong smell of blood surged into his heart, and his mouth was suddenly filled with a fishy and sweet smell.

His thin body couldn't help but lean forward and he began to cough violently.

After a while, Jiang Chuan finally stopped coughing, but his face became extremely pale again, without any blood at all.

When he slowly put down his hand, he saw a pool of dark red blood in the palm of his hand. The blood was so thick that it looked like solidified internal organs, which was shocking.

The maid looked at everything that was happening in front of her in horror. She widened her eyes and stared at Jiang Chuanshang's every move in disbelief.

Although it was not the first time that she had seen her highness like this, she was still frightened every time and worried about "her".

His hands were trembling slightly, and his fingertips, which were originally as pale as paper, were now stained red with blood, and the shocking red liquid was slowly flowing down the corners of his mouth.

The maidservant was extremely anxious, and her voice trembled with tears as she said, "Please, Your Highness, please don't torture yourself like this! I understand that you hate this weak body, but you shouldn't despise yourself like this anyway!"

As she spoke, her tears rolled down uncontrollably, as if she was the one in pain.

Jiang Chuan stared at the incense ashes scattered all over the ground expressionlessly, as if they had nothing to do with him.

Then he casually threw off the clogs on his feet and walked straight to the window barefoot.

When he stretched out his hand and pushed open the window, a gust of fresh air blew in, making him feel a long-lost sense of comfort. Standing in front of the window, he took a deep breath, and his tense nerves seemed to relax a little.

After doing all this, Jiang Chuan Shang began to think about why he did that just now. All of this had a purpose.

Moreover, Jiang Chuan Shang knew that everything he did did not deviate from the original owner's personality and habits.

Because according to the information provided by the system, the original owner had already hated his frail body to the extreme. He was unwilling to live like this, gasping for breath every three steps and coughing up blood every five steps. He might as well die.

But he wanted to live, desperately want to live, the servants' hypocrisy, the coldness and contempt he had suffered for many years made him want to live desperately to prove to them that even in this situation, he was still alive and well.

But he was unwilling to accept this and was jealous of others for having a healthy body while he had to lie in bed helplessly, burning strong and bitter incense every day.

His character had long been twisted, and the maid in front of him definitely knew it. The original owner had ordered the maid to throw away the incense burner more than once, and even put it into practice, but every time the maid picked it up and burned it again.

The maidservant is loyal because she firmly believes that as long as she burns incense every day, the incense will be able to drive away the illness of her master, so she burns incense every day; the maidservant is rigid because she only believes in what she believes in, loyalty to her master is a firm belief, and pedantic superstition is also a firm belief, but this incense cannot cure her master's illness at all.

However, only this maid dared to stand up and persuade the master to treat life well and live well. The rest of the maids and servants avoided her and found various excuses to escape from this place and serve elsewhere.

Today, there are only two maids left in this palace.

One is the maidservant in front of him who serves him wholeheartedly, and the other is the maidservant who covets the original owner's salary and wants to turn a sparrow into a phoenix. This maidservant pretends to obey her but actually disobeys her. She also curses the original owner viciously every day, asking her why she doesn't die quickly.

The original owner had a dark and hateful personality, but his heart was full of kindness and softness. Jiang Chuan Shang had his own analysis of a series of things, and they were absolutely correct. He was the God of Strategy.

As expected, the maid didn't find anything strange at all. Ji Jun lost his temper because he couldn't stand his own fragility and pain. She understood him very well, wiped away her tears, and actively cleaned up the mess.

Noticing the movement behind him, Jiang Chuan Shang looked at his bloody palms with satisfaction and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with the back of his hand.

He turned around, his expression had returned to normal, his handsome brows slightly wrinkled, and his melancholy eyes gently fell on the maid.

The silly maid had already cleaned up the ash. She turned around and saw Ji Jun standing there barefoot and thin. His pale face made the tiny red teardrop mole under his eyes even more conspicuous. The blood on his lips made him look even more frail, which was heartbreaking.

The maid hurried to find suitable shoes for Jiang Chuan Shang and bent down to ask him to put them on.

Jiang Chuan Shang looked at him calmly and whispered, "No, go get me a basin of water. I want to wash my hands."

The maid responded, picked up the garbage she had just dealt with, and ran out in a hurry. As a result, she bumped into someone at the door, bounced back and fell to the ground, with incense ash spilling all over her again.

The person who bumped into the maid was a woman wearing the same clothes as the maid. She was plump, with broad shoulders and a thick waist. No wonder she was able to knock the maid to the ground.

"Hey, what are you doing? Can't you see?"

When the fat maid saw that it was the other maid who bumped into her, she cried out loudly. Her fat face had small, ugly eyes, and she immediately put her hands on her hips and looked down at her condescendingly.

The maid rubbed her lower back and slowly stood up from the ground. She patted the ashes off her body and looked at the dirty floor as if she didn't hear the fat maid talking.

"Oh, I have to clean it again."

Seeing that the maid ignored her, the fat maid reached out her hand and poked the maid's forehead, tapping her hard, "Aren't you stubborn? Why, you're using your broken incense to coax people again? Why are you such a slut? You always work hard but get no thanks!"

"..."

The fat maid was most annoyed by people who could not get anything out of them even with three sticks. Her eyes rolled around cunningly and she immediately spoke in a loud voice, as if she was afraid that the people in the room could not hear her.

"If you ask me, you'd better stop serving that sickly person inside. Just let him fend for himself. He won't live for more than a few days. When the time comes, we can just bury him anywhere. This palace will belong to the two of us. Maybe even if we are discovered, we won't be punished!"

“Hahahaha, by then, even if his body stinks, no one will care…”

The fat maid knew how to poke a person's lungs. What the maid was most worried about was the weak Ji Jun inside. When he heard what she said, he immediately raised his head angrily and glared at the fat maid.

"Your mouth stinks, you are the one who should die. Your Highness is going to live a long life, unlike you who are a traitor to your own people!"

"Hey, you little bitch, I think you've grown wings, haven't you? If you dare to talk back, I'll tear your mouth apart!" The fat maid got angry and rolled up her sleeves, wanting to fight with the maid, but the maid dodged her.

"you!"

The fat maidservant failed to catch the maidservant and became angry and humiliated. Just when she was about to hit her again, she was immediately interrupted by a scolding voice. The voice did not come from inside the house, but from outside.

"How dare you! What are you doing under the feet of the Emperor?" the man said majestically, followed by a stream of servants, each holding a precious wooden box gift in his hand.

When the fat maid turned around, she found that the person who came was the emperor's personal guard and the leader of all the servants in the palace. Almost everyone in the palace knew his face. The sudden visit of such a person frightened the fat maid so much that she immediately knelt down and saluted, and the maid followed suit.

The commander looked stern, glanced at the two of them, and asked in a cold voice, "Where are the others in the palace? Why are there only two of you? You are still fighting in front of the master's door. What crime should you be punished for?"

When the maid heard this, she felt that someone had come to support her, so she immediately explained, "She was the first to slander and insult the master, and I was so angry that I started fighting with her. I beg the commander to investigate!"

"You... you are talking nonsense, I didn't do that, sir, it's unfair, even if I had ten times the courage, I would not dare to insult Mr. Ji!"

"It was you who cursed Ji-jun and told him to die, you evil creature!"

Jiang Chuan Shang originally planned to lie down on the bed and rest, but it turned out to be really noisy at the door. He put on some clothes and finally walked out of the room, just in time to hear the maids' rude remarks again.

The Immortal Jiang Chuan Shang: ...

The commander watched them quarrel again, feeling a headache, and immediately shouted, "Shut up, I'm not here to listen to you quarreling, get out of the way, I want to see your Lord Ji!"

Jiang Chuan Shang also looked at them with a headache, rubbed his eyebrows, and finally said, "No need, I'm here."

As he spoke, he walked over and appeared in front of everyone, his pale and handsome face full of fatigue.

When the maid saw her own princess coming out, she quickly called out, "Your Highness."

The commander widened his eyes, staring at the tall figure that was gradually approaching. He stood there frozen as if struck by lightning, with a storm in his heart.

Is this really the Kawakami-hime who has always been unpopular and is rumored to not live beyond next year?

The beauty of the person in front of me is beyond imagination!

The commander racked his brains but could not find any words to describe this extreme beauty. Even though he had seen countless beauties with the emperor, he was shocked and speechless at this moment.

“She” looked pale, as if she had been ill for a long time, but her delicate figure was like a willow in the wind, lovable. However, she was too tall, taller than the commander himself.

But just seeing "her" slightly frowned brows made people feel pity for her, and even her abnormal height was not a big deal.

This... is this really the Kawakami-kun who is suffering from illness? !

The commander blinked hard, wondering if he was hallucinating. After coming to his senses, he quickly replied, and even his voice unconsciously became flattering.

"Uh, it's Your Highness. It's windy outside, why did you come out? Haha, I want to meet you in person."

Jiang Chuan Shang didn't want to be polite with him, so he asked directly and coldly, "Just tell me what you want to say."

"...yes."

The commander hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and bowed, and replied, "On the orders of His Majesty, I specially invite Lord Jijun to the Qifu Palace to watch the ceremony. In addition, there are additional rewards for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the commander waved his hand, signaling the followers behind him to come forward one by one.

Each of them held a beautiful box in their hands and opened it carefully. The box contained all kinds of treasures, including dazzling jewelry and colorful and gorgeous cloth.

These things are not priceless, but they are gifts from the emperor and are of great significance after all.

However, a person who has been neglected for eighteen years is now suddenly summoned and rewarded. There must be some unspeakable secret hidden in this.

Jiang Chuan Shang refused without hesitation: "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well and can't come. Please leave on your own."

"Oh, Your Highness, you must not refuse! Your Highness, it is precisely because you are in poor health that you should go!" The commander dissuaded hurriedly.

Faced with the commander's urgent words, Jiang Chuanshang wanted to turn around and go back without even looking back.

Upon seeing this, the commander quickly stepped forward to stop him, with a rather funny expression on his face.

Jiang Chuan stared at the commander with a stern expression and his brows were tightly furrowed.

The commander smiled awkwardly and continued, "And you must go, Your Highness."

"Your Majesty has not only invited Lord Qingming and Lord Daoman, two top Yin-Yang masters, to be guests, but he has also specially prepared a grand magic competition in the Qifu Palace! If you go to watch the competition, you may be able to receive personal treatment from these two great Yin-Yang masters. In this way, your physical condition will definitely improve and you will definitely recover gradually."

The commander lobbied, fearing that Princess Kawakami would not agree to go.
