The time is fast, and it will be three days later.
For these three days, Jiang Li didn't do anything in the mansion, just as before in Tongxiang, and Ye Mingyu looked after Xue Huaiyuan. Every day people go to the inn where the people of Tongxiang live to see if the people are well.
As an important witness, Feng Yutang has been taken into custody by people from the Criminal Ministry, and the people must be well protected. However, Jiang Yuanbai did not come to Jiang Li again uncharacteristically, probably he was also worried. If the Xue family's case really involves the rightist Li family, Jiang Yuanbai will naturally be in a dilemma.
Jiang Li didn't care that Jiang Yuanbai didn't help him, as long as Jiang Yuanbai didn't listen to Ji Shuran's pillow wind, it would be good if something happened to hinder him at this juncture. Of course, Emperor Hong Xiaodi Jinkou Yuyan promised to personally supervise the matter, which is because Jiang Yuanbai really wanted to stop it and was powerless.
Can only wait quietly for the day of trial.
On that day, Jiang Li woke up early. Emperor Hong Xiao said that Jiang Li must enter the palace to handle the case before the imperial court. This is different from the last time the palace banquet entered the palace. This time entering the palace, he must have already received the attention of Cheng Wang and Princess Yongning, as well as Shen Yurong. Princess Yongning is frantic, she may not dare to attack her in the palace, but she can't bring weapons when entering the palace. It was the dagger that Jiang Jingrui gave, and it wasn't easy to bring it into the palace this time.
At this time, Jiang Li envied Ji Heng's fan instead. You must know that Ji Heng can bring his fan into the palace swaggeringly. The fan is gorgeous and exquisite. Who knows that it is a weapon that can kill people between opening and closing.
In the end, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are, just like the owner of a fan.
When she was thinking about it, Tonger smiled behind her and said: "Girl, comb your hair, how about it?"
Jiang Li looked at herself in the mirror. Tong'er was dexterous, but Jiang Li only let her comb a simple black gauze bun. There were no ornaments on the black gauze bun. But it made her face white, her brows were beautiful, and she became more refined.
Tong'er, who had thought that Jiang Li's clothes were too light, looked at him and was satisfied, and said: "The girl is so beautiful, she looks good with all her hair."
Bai Xue came up with his cloak, hesitated, and asked, "Girl, isn't it a bit too veggie to wear this way? Will the master be angry?"
Jiang Li took the snow-white cloak and put it on her body, and said: "It's nothing, only in this way can I show that I value the Xue family's case."
She turned around, white, black, and inexplicable, and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Yuanbai's carriage was already waiting outside. As a courtier, Jiang Yuanbai also regarded it as an arraignment to watch the case together. But the family members don't have to enter the palace together. As soon as Jiang Li left the yard, he saw Ji Shuran and Jiang Youyao.
Ji Shuran moved for a while and smiled and said to Jiang Li, "Li'er, have you entered the palace so early?"
"It seems that the second sister can't wait to enter the palace to vindicate the Xue family," Jiang Youyao said with a sneer: "I don't know, there is still a female gentleman in our family who wants to be the master of the sky? Don't we invite disaster for the family. good."
"Youyao!" Ji Shuran stopped Jiang Youyao's words and apologized to Jiang Li: "Youyao is joking, don't worry about Lier."
Jiang Li smiled and said: "It's okay." Turning her side, past the mother and daughter and walked away without saying a word. However, the more she was like this, the more angry Jiang Youyao looked. I felt that Jiang Li didn't put her in his eyes. He stomped his feet secretly, gritted his teeth and said: "Mother, look at her!"
"It doesn't matter." The smile on Ji Shuran's face also faded, looking at Jiang Li's back, and said lightly: "Let's see how long can she be arrogant?"
Jiang Li took Tong'er and went on. After not seeing Jiang Youyao for a period of time, Jiang Youyao became more stupid. I don't know if it was because of the relationship between Zhou Yanbang and Zhou Yanbang that Jiang Youyao's impatience would show up on his face. Jiang Li hadn't forgotten what Ji Shuran sent someone to start with him in Tongxiang. He had thought that it would be best to live in peace, but now it's impossible.
After finishing the Xue family case, she must settle with Ji Shuran next.
Only by cleaning up these difficult little ghosts, can she truly let go, to Princess Yongning, to Shen Yurong, and to become the king.
At the gate of the mansion, Jiang Yuanbai's carriage had stopped.
In the carriage behind, Ye Mingyu poked his head out of it and greeted Jiang Li in a low voice: "Ali!"
Jiang Li smiled and replied: "Uncle."
Ye Mingyu and Xue Huaiyuan were in a carriage. Today, Xue Huaiyuan also went to the palace. Jiang Li was afraid of something going wrong in the middle, so if Xue Huaiyuan was to appear under the nose of the murderer, Yongning, Jiang Li was afraid that Yongning would use any means. Now that Ye Mingyu, who learned that Princess Yongning was the main envoy behind him, also admitted that the matter was of great importance, and promised that Xue Huaiyuan would not leave him, and would not give Princess Yongning any chance to start.
Jiang Li got into the carriage.
Tonger kicked the carriage, almost blinded by the wind and snow outside, and said, "Girl, the snow outside is so heavy."
Jiang Li glanced out, but that was true. Bei Yan has been snowy in winter since then. Today is too big, the goose feathers and heavy snow are blowing diagonally, and the sky and the earth must be connected together.
"Just wait for the wind to come." Jiang Li smiled.
When the wind comes and the chaos is blown away, all the truth will be revealed.
…
The road to the palace is actually not too far, but Jiang Li feels that today has been a very long time.
Maybe she waited for this moment for too long. When she was Xue Fangfei, she waited until she died. Now that Xue Jiaman's grievances were finally caught from the bottomless bottom, after seeing a little light of the sky, he would tear off the false corner to reveal the truth. Jiang Li felt that even in the cold winter, her blood became hot.
After some time, the carriage stopped.
There was a voice outside: "Master, here it is."
Jiang Li got out of the carriage. Jiang Yuanbai was already standing outside the carriage. He looked at this daughter with a complicated expression. He was sometimes guilty and sometimes angry with this daughter, but now he is more puzzled and unfamiliar, and there is also a kind of powerlessness. He can't control Jiang Li's thoughts, and even in many cases, even Jiang Li's actions can't be controlled-Jiang Li can always find other ways to achieve her own goals.
"I'm going to see the emperor first." Jiang Yuanbai said to her: "You and your third uncle must go to see the adult from the Criminal Ministry. The servant will take you there." After a pause, he said again: "You... Be careful."
Jiang Yuanbo also realizes that the complexity behind the Xue family's case will put Jiang Li in danger. As Jiang Li said, the person behind this incident is really the righteous Li Zhongnan. Li Zhongnan must have this evil on Jiang Li. How many souls died in the palace, Jiang Li is his after all. flesh and blood.
"I know, thank you father." Jiang Li smiled and said: "Don't worry, there will be no accidents with Uncle Mingyu with me."
She trusted the Ye family very much. Jiang Yuanbo felt a little uncomfortable in her heart for no reason. He didn't say more, and left first.
Ye Mingyu helped Xue Huaiyuan get out of the carriage, and said, "What did your father say?" Jiang Yuanbai couldn't understand Ye Mingyu, and Ye Mingyu also couldn't understand Jiang Yuanbo, so he tried to avoid talking to Jiang Yuanbo, if not necessary, on weekdays Ye Mingyu didn't even want to fight Jiang Yuanbai.
"Nothing, just let us be careful."
"Is there someone in the palace who attacked us?" Ye Mingyu became nervous, "Isn't it, who dares to be so bold at the feet of the emperor?"
"The heart to guard against others is indispensable." Jiang Li said: "But there should be no danger, let's go first." She wasn't actually ignorant, but after another thought, there should be people from Ji Heng in the palace. Since Ji Heng had promised his life that he would take it personally, he would not let others kill him. In a way, he was the most reliable guard.
Even if there is any danger, Ji Heng will appear.
Ye Mingyu didn't say anything when he heard the words, and walked in with Jiang Li along with the palace man who led the way.
Xue Huaiyuan's mind is now a five or six-year-old child. On the way to the palace, he looks around from time to time, and is very strange to the surrounding environment. With Jiang Li, he wasn't very scared. Ye Mingyu entered the palace for the first time, but he tried his best to show that he didn't care and was very stable.
Mr. Zhou Dezhao of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is in charge of the case, and Jiang Li will make a peace with Mr. Zhou together with Ye Mingyu as a witness.
The palace that led the way was very tight, and Ye Mingyu wanted to get some news from his mouth, but he was helpless after a long time. Waiting for a place outside the palace, the palace man stopped. A person who looked like a guard walked out of it, looked at Jiang Li, and said, "Ms. Jiang Er, Master Zhou is waiting in the room."
Jiang Li and Ye Mingyu looked at each other and entered the room.
Zhou Dezhao was about the same age as Jiang Yuanbai, with a thin body, a face with Chinese characters, and a square chin. At a glance, he looked like a fortitude person. He looked at Jiang Li and Ye Mingyu, then glanced at Xue Huaiyuan, who was playing the rattle in his hand, without saying a word of nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Ms. Jiang Er, the book of the admiral Xue’s case has been shown to the official. Yes, do you know who is involved in this case?"
"Princess Yongning." Jiang Li said calmly.
Zhou Dezhao was taken aback, and it seemed that Jiang Li would say so calmly, as if he was not a princess of a country, but a commoner on the street. When Emperor Hong Xiao personally told him about this, Zhou Dezhao could not hide his surprise. You must know that he had seen a lot of dirty and weird things while watching the dynasty, and he had also seen a lot of unsuccessful cases involving people suing officials, but this was the first time that the first assistant's daughter sued the princess of the dynasty.
"The evidence in the hands of Miss Jiang Er is conclusive," Zhou Dezhao said: "The emperor also intends to vindicate the people of Tongxiang, but this case involves the princess and the power is complicated. Miss Jiang Er must think clearly."
"There is no turning back when I open the bow," Jiang Li smiled. "The emperor personally supervised the case. Jiang Li was too grateful in his heart. He will definitely do his best to let the truth of the case come to light."
Jiang Li bite especially hard with the words "the water came to the bottom".
"This case is not invulnerable," Zhou Dezhao said: "If the person behind the scenes is really related to the princess, this case alone will not really solve the source. On the contrary, it will put Miss Jiang Er in danger. Even so, Jiang Didn't the second lady change her mind?"
"Master Zhou doesn't have to test me." Jiang Li smiled: "If I have the intention of shrinking, I don't have to do these things. Besides, the emperor personally supervises the handling, I still have some reservations. Didn't I commit the crime of deceiving the emperor? "
Zhou Dezhao is considered an upright official, but he can achieve this position, but he is not someone who doesn't know how to work. Remind Jiang Li that this case will not bring down Princess Yongning, but will make Princess Yongning hate her. I don't know if it is because of temptation or kindness. But Jiang Li thought it was useless to say these.
Seeing Jiang Li's determination, Zhou Dezhao couldn't say anything. Jiang Li is also Jiang Yuanbai's daughter anyway, and he wants to sell Jiang Yuanbai three-point thin noodles. This case will definitely offend Princess Yongning, but the emperor himself said that he has no second choice. In some ways, he and Jiang Li are the same.
"Okay." Zhou Dezhao nodded and said: "Miss Jiang Er tidy up, we will go to the palace later." After a pause, he said again: "Princess Yongning will not go to the palace today, but Royal Highness Cheng will be there."
Cheng Wang is Yongning's own brother, and if Jiang Li is made things difficult by Cheng Wang, it is also possible.
"It doesn't matter who he is," Ye Mingyu couldn't listen anymore, "he would never do too much in the presence of the emperor."
Neither Jiang Li nor Zhou Dezhao spoke. Ye Mingyu was far away from the temple and naturally didn't know, but the power and arrogance of becoming a king did not happen overnight. If Emperor Hong Xiao wanted to keep a low profile, he also had to avoid his edge, pretending to be brothers and friends respectful, but in fact undercurrents surged.
Jiang Li sighed softly, and didn't know whether he should sympathize with the current emperor of Bei Yan, not to mention that his throne was still watched by many people. Ji Heng, the official he relied on most, also had his own plan.
"Master Zhou, let's go." Jiang Li put away the thoughts in his heart and said.
Zhou Dezhao nodded.
Xue Huaiyuan could not go to the temple with Jiang Li immediately, because he was afraid that his unconsciousness would disturb the holy driver, and he needed someone to look after him. When the time was right, he could face the holy. So only Jiang Li and Ye Mingyu followed Zhou Dezhao to the Jinluan Temple. Estimating the time, all the courtiers who came to watch the interrogation today should also arrive one after another.
When they were approaching Jinluan Temple, some courtiers also saw them, and they all cast their gazes at Jiang Li.
Nowadays Jiang Li can be regarded as a big red man in Yanjing City, but there is no official in the family who does not know Jiang Li's name. What Jiang Li did was the first among the noble ladies of Yanjing. But everyone still couldn't guess what she was thinking, so the lady didn't do it well, she was involved in this storm, and showed her face outside for an irrelevant person, and she didn't know what she was trying to do.
As he was walking, someone's voice suddenly came from behind: "Master Zhou."
Zhou Dezhao and Jiang Li turned around and saw a young man slowly walking from behind the garden.
This man was dressed in luxurious brocade clothes, with extraordinary bearing, and his followers did not look like ordinary people. They were also handsome, but his eyes were deep and shrewd. When he looked at people, he felt a bit shameful.
Although he called Zhou Dezhao in his mouth, he stared at Jiang Li and looked at it unscrupulously. Ye Mingyu on one side was a little annoyed. How could he stare at a little girl like this.
Zhou Dezhao bowed and said, "The lower official has seen His Royal Highness Cheng Wang."
Jiang Li also bowed and bowed.
Zhou Dezhao's words are now fully understood, and they have been fulfilled so soon. Jiang Li didn't want to meet King Cheng here, but didn't expect to meet King Cheng on a narrow road before entering the Golden Luang Temple.
Cheng Wang said: "This is Miss Jiang Er." He smiled slightly, "I saw the grace of Jiang Er on the test field a few days ago, but it was charming. I didn't want to see it for a long time, and Jiang Er's skills got better. It really surprises this king every day."
What he said was really frivolous. Ye Mingyu was unhappy, and Jiang Li feared that he might have trouble here, so he said to Zhou Dezhao: "Master Zhou, you should enter the hall with my uncle first. My Royal Highness Tongcheng will have a few words, and he will come soon."
"How can this be done?" Before Zhou Dezhao could speak, Ye Mingyu objected first. He said, "Go together." This Cheng Wang was not a good person at first sight. Ye Mingyu heard it too. This time it was Princess Yongning, Cheng. Wang is Yongning's elder brother, can he not vent his anger for Yongning. Moreover, what Cheng Wang just said was arrogant. He was really worried that Jiang Li and Cheng Wang were alone together.
Zhou Dezhao was also a little surprised. At this time, Jiang Li didn't rush to avoid becoming a king, but even took the initiative to meet him. Isn't she afraid of becoming a king
Jiang Li is indeed not afraid. She looked calm and calmly explained to Ye Mingyu: "It's okay, uncle, Royal Highness Cheng and I are just a few steps away from the Jinluang Temple. People come and go here. I and King Cheng Your Highness won't be in danger. It's just that you have something to say, so come in soon. Uncle, you are here, but you are delaying the business of Master Zhou, right?"
What else did Ye Mingyu want to say, Zhou Dezhao already handed over and said, "In this case, the officials will retire first." He signaled to Ye Mingyu. Ye Mingyu was still a little hesitant. Seeing Jiang Li winking him, he paused and felt unwilling. Unwillingly, Zhou Dezhao advanced to the palace.
Jiang Li had his own ideas when he did things, and Ye Mingyu was also afraid that he would be reckless, and instead disrupted Jiang Li's plan.
After Ye Mingyu and the other two left, Cheng Wang squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Li with profound meaning.
What Jiang Li said to Ye Mingyu to reassure him was actually told to him. This place is just a few steps away from the Jinluang Temple, and there are people who come and go, so I definitely can't do anything to Jiang Li. It was precisely this point that she had calculated so that she had the courage to speak with herself alone here.
"The second girl Jiang is so courageous," Cheng Wang said, "Jiang Shoufu is self-contained. I didn't expect his daughter to be quite brave. This king admires her."
Jiang Li smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness is absurd."
It was accepted generously.
Cheng Wang was taken aback, suddenly burst into laughter, and said: "The second girl Jiang is always surprising. I don't know why she is always so confident. Is it true that today's matter will definitely involve Yongning, so she is so confident?"
Jiang Li suddenly raised her head, staring at Cheng Wang, her heart sinking slightly.
King Cheng has his own power in the palace, Jiang Li has long known about it. After all, people who aspire to that position can't put chess pieces everywhere, but the folds written by themselves should be very concealed. Wang Cheng knew it now, and it was obvious that Emperor Hong Xiao still had his eyeliner beside him. And to be able to come into contact with such a hidden thing, the eyeliner should be someone close to Emperor Hong Xiao.
"What is the second girl Jiang thinking? How did this king know?" Cheng Wang went a step further, suddenly lowered his voice, and said viciously: "There is nothing in this world that this king does not know. The second girl wants to be here. This king is too naive to hide from the sky and cross the sea with his eyelids. Your father still dare not do this. You are a yellow-haired girl, and you are quite courageous."
When he is not smiling, the gloomy face on his face is not a disguise, it is really scary. Whenever Jiang Li is the real Miss Jiang Er, or if another girl comes here, she will really be scared by Cheng Wang. But it was Jiang Li, and she even estimated in her heart that although Wang Cheng is quite powerful, but the nature is similar to his mother concubine Liu Taifei, she really doesn't know how to constrain, is too arrogant, and has an arrogant temperament, and she will inevitably suffer in the future. In terms of mentality, it is inferior to the weak Emperor Hong Xiao.
Seeing that Jiang Li did not show a panic expression as he expected, Cheng Wang felt even more displeased. He said: "The second girl Jiang is so courageous, but I don't know how long this courage can be maintained? You know you have offended this king, Even your father can't keep you!"
"His Royal Highness Cheng." At this moment, someone's voice suddenly came not far away.
Jiang Li and Wang Cheng looked at the voice together, but not far away, a young man walked quickly and respectfully saluted Wang Cheng again: "The lower official has seen His Royal Highness Cheng."
Jiang Li was startled. This person was not someone else, but Ye Shijie.
Now Ye Shijie is the newly appointed household member Wailang. Because he was appointed by the emperor, he seems to be in-laws with Shoufu Jiang's family. In addition, he is a talented person, and he is doing a good job. Among the rookies in North Korea, everyone is willing to sell him a face, and Emperor Hong Xiao also appreciates him.
Jiang Li frowned slightly. She didn't expect Ye Shijie to stand up at this time. Ye Shijie has only just entered the imperial court. It would be bad if he was embarrassed by the king because of this. She is a daughter's family. If Cheng Wang really wants to catch her, he can only start from the inner house, and Jiang Li can deal with it more carefully. But Ye Shijie is still immature as an official. How can he compare to those experienced people? As long as Cheng Wang's subordinates make things difficult for official affairs, it will be possible for Ye Shijie to be unclear or not in vain.
This young man is very good, but he is not too old, and he is still a little bit arrogant, just like Xue Zhao before.
"Oh? The rescue is here." King Cheng looked at Jiang Li, then at Ye Shijie, and said, "The second girl Jiang's cousin and the second girl Jiang seem to have a very good relationship. Outside Ye Yuan," he said. He fixed his gaze firmly on Ye Shijie, "If you are smarter, you won't jump out in such a hurry today. What a pity," he seemed to regret: "You are such a manufacturable material, this king really can't bear it. Up."
As soon as this remark came out, Jiang Li's heart tightened, and Cheng Wang was clearly eyeing Ye Shijie!
No matter what his heart is, Ye Shijie still looks respectful on his face, saying: "His Royal Highness talks and laughs. It is a blessing for a lower official to be loved by His Highness."
Although he was young, he was not the arrogant person who would quarrel with others about a painting on the street. In the face of provocation, he knew to avoid the edge and pretend to be crazy.
Cheng Wang laughed instead of anger, saying: "You two are not afraid of this king, this king will definitely make you regret..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a chuckle. Someone's voice floated from behind the garden, with a careless laziness and a little smile, and said, "Oh, isn't this becoming a king?" "
Someone is here again.
Hearing this voice, Jiang Li was overjoyed. He raised his eyes and saw that in the ice and snow, the man was a touch of red, and in the deep palace with its walls, there was no faint brilliance at all.
His clothes are bright and eye-catching, and his appearance is seductive, and the guards next to him hold an umbrella for him, so the snow will not float on him. He has a low-pitched voice, charming and low-melt, but he has a kind of schadenfreude to watch the excitement, and said: "What is the noise in the early morning?"
It is Su Guo Gong Ji Heng.
Cheng Wang was also startled. After a long while, he said to Ji Heng, "Duke Su Guo."
According to the ceremony, Ji Heng should also salute with him. But Ji Heng never saluted him, and Cheng Wang didn't dare to force him. In Cheng Wang's heart, he was more jealous of Ji Heng than Emperor Hong Xiao. He had tried to desperately pull Ji Heng into his camp, but he failed. But Ji Heng did not participate in the camp of Emperor Hong Xiao and the Jiang family, and it was precisely because he had always maintained a neutral posture, Cheng Wang was guarded against him, and would not take the initiative to attack him.
He is unwilling to cause unexpected trouble for himself.
"I heard you say dying and alive all the way, why, someone is going to be unlucky?" He asked with a smile on his face, his hands folded in his sleeves.
Jiang Li bowed to him and said: "It was the courtier and cousin who angered His Royal Highness Cheng Wang, and His Royal Highness Cheng Wang was just angry."
At this moment, both Cheng Wang and Ye Shijie looked at Jiang Li.
what happened? Did Jiang Li sow discord in front of Cheng Wang? And who is the object of his instigation, it is Ji Heng! That Su Guo Gong, who only knows about watching dramas, contained a subtle, soft accusation in the meaning of these words, as if Ji Heng was an elder who came to mediate, and was the master of Qingtian who could be the master of Jiang Li.
Is she crazy
Cheng Wang sneered: "The second girl Jiang will shirk, I'm afraid you are not annoying this king, you have offended this king. Under the world, no one who has offended this king has a good end."
He didn't shy away from Ji Heng's presence, no matter how moody, Ji Heng didn't dare to treat a prince. When he said this in front of Ji Heng, he seemed to want to test Ji Heng's reaction to see what Ji Heng had to do with Jiang Li.
Ji Heng's beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of his lips. He said lightly: "Children are not sensible, so why bother to become a king, forget it."
He actually... persuades peace
Both Ye Shijie and Cheng Wang stared at Ji Heng incredulously. Ji Heng's unapologetic apology really showed his attitude. He was defending Jiang Li!
Jiang Li's eyes widened too. She deliberately pulled Ji Heng in, and wanted to use Ji Heng to make Cheng Wang jealous, but she never thought that Ji Heng would speak for herself in front of Cheng Wang!
This person is accustomed to acting every time, it is the occasional feeling of true love in dealings, and it is also a glimpse, the moon night has passed, and it is day, each wears its own disguise.
But at this moment, he actually did it for a while.
