"The humble official was ordered to track down the assassin." Huben Zhonglang stood Yi Yang at the front and bowed to him, "Please also cooperate with the second son."
"Assassin?" Jiang Shen was puzzled, "This is the residence of Lord Ziyang."
"Someone testified that His Majesty was assassinated near the Jiang Mansion yesterday." Yi Yang said, "Lord Ting Wei ordered to thoroughly investigate Jiang Mansion, and invited Your Majesty and other people involved in the incident to Ting Wei's Mansion for questioning."
What? Jiang Shen was taken aback, and Chengxu and Yufeng also changed their faces, and stepped forward one after another to put themselves on guard.
"Your Majesty has meritorious escort, but you are taking him to Tingwei's Mansion even though he is seriously injured right now?" Jiang Shen raised his eyebrows, a little annoyed, "What's the point?"
Yi Yang bowed his head in embarrassment: "The humble job is just to follow orders."
Under orders? Liu Yunlie? Jiang Shen stretched out his hand: "What about the escort order?"
Jiang's mansion is an official residence, and anyone who wants to search or seize someone needs at least a warrant from the court lieutenant. However, Yi Yang couldn't take it out, so he just said: "The incident happened suddenly, several veteran officials in the court are already waiting in the Tingwei Mansion, please don't obstruct the second son."
After all, with a wave of his hand to the back, countless government servants holding torches rushed straight in.
Chengxu Yufeng couldn't stop it, Jiang Shen was forced to retreat steadily, and said coldly and angrily: "You are committing the following crime!"
Yi Yang acted as if he hadn't heard of it, his eyes were only on the gate of the main building, he held the scabbard horizontally to block the long sword that was coming at him, and strode forward to kick it.
However, before the feet could be stretched out, the hollow and carved door opened by itself.
Jiang Xuanjin's face was pale. He was wearing a blue tunic and a cobalt-colored cloak. He pulled the door string with his slender fingers, and looked up at him coldly.
Yi Yang was startled, subconsciously took two steps back, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty!"
"Third brother!" Jiang Shen rushed to help him, "Your injury..."
Without his support, Jiang Xuanjin stepped out by herself, stood up straight in front of Yi Yang, and asked him in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
"Your Majesty, this is Master Liu's order." Yi Yang was a little panicked, "The lowly position is just to follow orders, and right now Prime Minister Qi and Lord Lin are waiting for you at Tingwei Yamen!"
"I'm asking you: What is your intention of bringing people into Jiangfu?" Jiang Xuanjin lowered her eyes, her tone suddenly turned cold.
As his body froze, Yi Yang's eyeballs moved left and right. Seemingly realizing that his actions were unreasonable, he hesitated for a moment, lifted the armor in front of him in embarrassment, and knelt down towards him.
"It's an offense from a humble position, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Looking up at the torches in the courtyard, Jiang Xuanjin closed his eyes slightly, and glanced at Chengxu next to him.
Taking advantage of the situation, he quickly left Moju to check the situation in other parts of Jiangfu, and finally came back to report: "The old man was alarmed, and he has already got up. The eldest son and the young master have followed them to the Tingwei Yamen."
With his eyes down, Jiang Xuanjin clenched his fists and walked out.
"Third brother!" Jiang Shen was very anxious, "How can you make trouble like this? The fever just subsided!"
"If I don't go, I'm afraid these people will invite my father to the Yamen together." Jiang Xuanjin sneered, "There is such a big fight in the middle of the night, I'm going to see what Liu Yunlie wants to do!"
Wherever he walked, the servants holding torches retreated one after another, retreating from the main house door to the Moju gate, no one dared to go up to arrest him, and no one dared to make a sound.
Yi Yang followed behind wiping cold sweat, feeling slightly annoyed. Right now Lord Ziyang is obviously very weak and weak, so it should be easy to handle. Why is he so worthless, his legs feel weak when he meets his eyes
The night outside Jiang's mansion was as dark as lacquer, looking from the brightly lit mansion, it looked like the mouth of a monster with its mouth open. Jiang Xuanjin coughed twice, stood at the door and looked back at Chengxu: "Don't look for her."
Then he lifted his foot and stepped out.
Yi Yang looked at Chengxu warily, thinking that what Jiang Xuanjin was saying was a code or a secret word. But after hearing this, Chengxu only let out a long sigh.
What does it mean? Yi Yang was at a loss.
In the middle of the night, Tingwei's yamen sent people to surround Jiangfu, and Lord Ziyang was taken into custody along with General Hussars and others!
In the early morning of the next day, the news flew all over the capital as if it had grown wings. It's fine if they arrest others, few of them are clean officials, but how could they be caught at the head of Jiangfu? The people who came out of the Jiangfu, ranging from Lord Ziyang down to the disciples of minor officials, are all well-known and upright officials!
There were also discussions in the court, but for some reason, after only a few words, no one mentioned it again. It was time to go to court, and it was time to play and play, as if nothing had happened.
Lu Jingxing smiled while flapping his fan: "The water in this officialdom is so deep that ordinary people can't understand it at all."
Huaiyu leaned against the bedside, pinched his nose and drank a bowl of medicine, his face wrinkled in bitterness: "Is there anything I don't understand? It must be because of His Majesty's assassination that he was able to escort people from Jiangfu to the yamen."
"Is this all possible?" Lu Jingxing snorted softly, shook his head and said, "Mr. Ziyang still has meritorious service in escorting him."
Isn't it a meritorious escort? Thinking of his injuries, Li Huaiyu frowned, turned over and got out of bed.
"What are you doing?" Lu Jingxing threw the fan in front of her, and said angrily, "Your body is not finished yet!"
"There is something strange about this." Huaiyu pinched his fan bone and raised his eyes, "I clearly asked Huailin for mercy, and with his temperament, he would never make the assassination a big deal. In the current situation, it must be Someone deliberately messed up and wanted to use this incident to blame the Jiang family."
Nodding suddenly, Lu Jingxing said: "That's just right, Jiang's family is accused of crimes, you take this opportunity to ask for a divorce letter, and from now on, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide, and you won't have to suffer any grievances."
Without even thinking about it, Li Huaiyu kicked him, and Li Huaiyu said angrily: "When are you still joking? Can you use your brain? How many years has Jiang Xuanjin stood in the court? Have you ever seen someone deliberately target him?"
Lu Jingxing looked at her with a complicated expression.
"...except for me!" Bai He glanced at him, Huaiyu snorted softly, "I'm different, the situation is special! But look at other people, did they always obey Ziyang Jun's words in the past, and only him follow his lead? But what's going on now? So good that you want to make trouble with the Jiang family?"
It seemed that something was wrong after hearing this, Lu Jingxing narrowed his eyes: "Who has he offended recently?"
"One is Li Fengxing, the other is Liang Sixian. Both of them have lost their original official positions and have no power. Even though Liang Sixian has many disciples, none of them has the ability to shake Jiang Xuanjin." Li Huaiyu said, "But there is one more thing he is doing. , and offend people.”
"What?"
Pointing at himself, Huaiyu said, "Investigate Sima Xu's case."
To act against Li and Liang can still be said to be in accordance with the law. But what about Sima Xu's case? It is contrary to Ziyang Jun's previous behavior and position, and it can even be said that he is an enemy of more than half of the people in the court. Although not many people know that he is investigating, but there must be someone who knows.
"According to you..." Lu Jingxing frowned, "It was the person who wanted to harm you before, but now he wants to attack Jiang Xuanjin instead?"
"That's right." Huaiyu nodded, "That person must hate me very much, so when Jiang Xuanjin helped him deal with me, he did his best to help him, but once Jiang Xuanjin realized that he had wronged someone, he wanted to go back and investigate the matter carefully. When something happened, that person turned around and dealt with Jiang Xuanjin without hesitation."
In other words, as long as you find the person who made things difficult for Jiang Xuanjin this time, you can basically know who was behind her back.
"I understand." Lu Jingxing nodded and glanced at her again, "But now you are like this, what can you do?"
"Go out first and find out the ins and outs." Huaiyu said, touching his forehead with his hand, "After eating so much, I don't think I have any serious problems. If you are worried, why don't you come with me?"
Lu Jingxing sneered, spread his fan, and said disdainfully: "I am the number one merchant in Kyoto, I am busy with so many things every day, can I be free enough to go out with you?"
After a stick of incense. The dignified number one merchant in Kyoto reluctantly wandered around the street following people.
Seeing the imperial list on the notice wall next to it, Li Huaiyu's eyes lit up, and she hurried over to tiptoe to look.
"A lot of money to catch the assassin? There is a big reward for those who have clues?" She laughed when she saw these two sentences.
There is neither a portrait of the assassin nor the characteristics of the clothes of the person who was assassinated. Posting such an imperial list for no reason is just holding money and shouting to the common people: Come on, talk nonsense! As long as you speak to my satisfaction, the silver is yours!
No wonder they went to Jiangfu to arrest people so quickly. Aren't there a lot of such "witness certificates"
Shaking her head, she reached out to reveal the list.
"What are you doing?" Lu Jingxing frowned and stopped her, "Is the imperial list revealed casually?"
"I also have clues!" Huaiyu blinked, "Why can't we reveal the clues?"
Knocking on her forehead with his fan, Lu Jingxing said, "You have to go to the yamen if you are uncovered, if they find out that you are the third wife of the Jiang family, why not detain you together?"
"Shut it up." Just buckle it up so that she can see what's going on in the yamen.
Lu Jingxing obviously didn't understand her motives, he just scolded her when she wanted to see Jiang Xuanjin, "Are you fooled by him or something?"
"Who was bewitched?" Li Huaiyu rolled his eyes, "You didn't see how aggressive he was at that time, the ghost was bewitched by him."
"and you… "
"Don't worry." Huaiyu waved his hand at him, and said while going to unveil the list: "I'm a hard person to coax, and the important thing is right now, so I don't care whether he lives or dies..."
Before he finished speaking, the imperial list was removed, revealing a painting on the wall behind it.
The painting is very rough, there are two small figures on it, one tall and one short, the tall one lowers his head to touch the short one, and there are a few things in the sky next to them that look like fireworks, which look very familiar.
"What is this?" A commoner nearby saw it, and said disgustedly, "Why are everything posted on the wall these days!"
"It's not just here, there are a lot of stickers on the street over there." Another person sighed, "It seems to be posted by a rich family. I don't know what it is for, and I can't understand it."
Huaiyu was startled, stared at the painting and blinked, then reached out and peeled it off.
"What are you doing with this?" Lu Jingxing frowned, "It's as ugly as what you drew."
"..."
Taking a deep look at him, Li Huaiyu gritted his teeth and said, "This is what I drew."
"Huh?" Lu Jingxing choked for a moment, looked at her with strange eyes, and said after a moment of silence, "You poisoned me not enough? What did the people of Kyoto do wrong?"
Slapping him on the back, Huaiyu said angrily, "I drew it, but I didn't post it!"
"Who else can appreciate this kind of painting but you?"
"You don't care!" Huaiyu said angrily after folding the painting and putting it in his sleeve pocket, "I'm going to the Yamen, you can go back by yourself."
"Ancestor, with your appearance, I can rest assured that you go to the Yamen alone?" Lu Jingxing didn't even bother to roll his eyes, and waved his hand to Zhaocai to drive the carriage over, picked up the person and stuffed it into the carriage.
Li Huaiyu frowned: "I'm going to provide clues, what are you doing next?"
"Isn't there a bounty?" Lu Jingxing waved his fan and said Shi Shiran, "After you provide clues and your identity is exposed and you are put in prison, I will collect the bounty for you. I can manage some jailers so that you can have a good meal."
"Fuck!" Huaiyu kicked him, "Can't you say something good?"
Sensitively dodging her attack, Lu Jingxing smiled for a while, then said with a serious expression, "If necessary, someone will send a message to me, and I will wait for you outside."
"Okay." She nodded emphatically.
There were quite a few people holding the imperial list at the gate of Ting Wei's yamen, and the yamen waiter impatiently picked people up and sent them in, thinking that this job was really boring. Just as he was yawning, a chubby house slave suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Guard, there are people here who want to go in and talk." Zhao Cai came up and squeezed his hand, and quietly stuffed a silver ingot over it.
As soon as the yacha weighed it, his eyes lit up immediately, and he smiled and shouted to the people behind him: "Please come to this lady."
Huaiyu wiped his face and looked complicatedly at the carriage not far behind him.
Lu Jingxing was leaning against the shaft of the car and spreading his fan, looking very suave and unrestrained. Sensing her gaze, he raised his chin and gave her a haughty look.
Silly dude, the stuffed ingots are more than the silver rewards, how proud are you? Huaiyu shook his head, turned around and followed the yachamen inside.
The guards at Tingwei's yamen are much stricter than before, and within ten steps you can see a yaman holding a spear. But the person who led her to the side hall was just a small official sitting in the right seat.
"There are clues for this too?" The man didn't look up, "Tell me."
Huaiyu stood still in front of him, and said with a smile, "I saw the assassin. He was fighting a man in dark yellow clothes near Chongde Street."
The official was stunned for a moment, and without dropping his pen, he waved his hand and said, "I know, I know, next one."
"Hey, wait a minute." Huaiyu tiptoed curiously to look at the rice paper in front of him, "Is this my confession, or did I really see the assassin's confession. Don't you write it down?"
"The person in front of you has already said this about you." The official said perfunctorily, "I have already written down everything that should be recorded, so there is no need to repeat it."
"How could it be?" Huaiyu said with surprise on his face, "There was no one around at that time, it is impossible for someone to say the same thing as me."
Can tell the color of the clothes of the Holy Majesty, even if she made up Chongde Street, at least she should pay attention to her, right? So perfunctory
The official raised his head impatiently: "If you say you have it, you will have it. How can there be so many words?"
After the words fell, seeing the well-dressed lady in front of him, the official's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes suddenly became a little apprehensive and wary.
Huaiyu rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is indeed wise, you can't fool me with a few random words. Let me tell the truth, I saw the assassin at the gate of Jiangfu, there are many people there."
At the gate of Jiangfu? The official finally relaxed, stood up and said, "Why don't you just tell the truth? Did you really see it?"
Huaiyu nodded again and again: "The bows and arrows they use to hurt people, I can see the appearance of an assassin clearly, there is a mole on his face!"
"Oh?" Hearing her detailed explanation, the official was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to the yamen next to him, "Quickly report to your lord. There are new witnesses!"
"Yes!" Yacha responded and left.
Liu Yunlie was not promoted, the three princes of the court and several veteran officials were all sitting in the tea hall, and Jiang Xuanjin sat in the main seat, listening to their argument calmly.
"How did those testimonies come about? They said that they saw His Majesty assassinated near the Jiangfu? You also use the nonsense that people make up for rewards as evidence, which is simply ridiculous!" Yun Lanqing was slightly angry.
Liu Yunlie glanced at him several times, then frowned and said, "Master Yun, why do you think the people are lying? You didn't seem to be there at the time."
"This emperor's list is not fair." Yun Lan said clearly, "If you don't believe me, you can invite two witnesses to ask, and if you don't ask anything else, just ask what clothes and hair accessories our Majesty wore when he was assassinated. , see if they can answer it?"
"The situation was so urgent at the time, who could have noticed that?"
"The old man thinks, so what if His Majesty was assassinated at the gate of the Jiangfu?" Bai De opened his mouth again, "Mr. Ziyang has tried his best to protect him, so why did Jiangfu ask for the crime?"
"Master Bai, please be careful." The old man Qi, who has just moved to the prime minister, said in a nonchalant manner, "You are in-laws in the Tongjiang family now, but you should avoid suspicion in all cases. It's better for you not to speak up."
"It's still a trial?" Han Xiao sneered next to him, "Shouldn't he be promoted, and Lord Ziyang should be held under him for questioning?"
These words were sharper, Liu Yunlie glanced at Jiang Xuanjin. Shaking his head, he said, "Your Majesty's serious injury has not healed, how can you treat him like this?"
"Master Ting Wei still knows that your lord is seriously injured?" Yun Lan said clearly, "People who have meritorious escorts are detained here for questioning. I don't know how many are loyal enough?"
"Your Majesty has meritorious escort, and no one denies it." Liu Yunlie sighed, "If Your Majesty is unscathed, you don't need to jointly write a letter to publish the Emperor's List. But His Majesty is also seriously injured, and Jiang's family is really hard to say goodbye." blame."
"The assassin is not from the Jiangfu, so why can't the Jiangfu take the blame? Didn't they do everything that should be done?" Han Xiao was puzzled.
Everyone was silent, looking at each other.
Whether the assassin is from the Jiangfu, who can tell? It's because they don't know who the assassin is, that's why everyone is afraid that Mr. Ziyang will have treasonous intentions, and invite him here first, right
"My lord!" During the stalemate, someone came to report at the door, "A new witness has arrived."
"Bring it in." Liu Yunlie waved.
Everyone in the hall looked towards the door, but Jiang Xuanjin lowered his eyes and was completely uninterested. The wound was very uncomfortable. He squeezed his fist against his lips and coughed lightly.
However, as soon as he coughed twice, there were a few gasps around him. Bai Dezhong's tea didn't sit properly, and it spilled on the table when it was crooked.
Why are you so excited? Jiang Xuanjin was puzzled, and raised his eyes to look at the door.
Someone came in through the door with small steps, and a brand-new phoenix skirt swept across the threshold, with a graceful figure and a dignified posture. Looking up again, the amber almond eyes swept in his direction, and the corners of the eyes curved into crescent moons.
"I've seen you, my lords." She stepped forward to salute.
Yun Lanqing and Han Xiao were dumbfounded, Liu Yunlie and Bai Dezhong both frowned, only Prime Minister Qi, who had never met Miss Bai Si, smiled in surprise: "The witness is a woman?"
"Yes." Li Huaiyu raised his head and said neither humble nor overbearing, "When His Majesty was assassinated, my daughter was nearby."
Jiang Xuanjin couldn't hold back, and coughed repeatedly.
"Your Majesty?" Prime Minister Qi noticed something was wrong, glanced at the expressions of everyone in the hall, and asked suspiciously, "Do you all know this lady?"
Bai De raised his eyebrows and his heart beat, he got up and scolded: "What are you doing here?"
It's been a long time since he yelled at him like that, but Li Huaiyu actually felt a little kind, and said with a smile, "Come to testify."
"As Mrs. Jun, you are a member of the Jiang family, how can you testify for this matter?" Liu Yunlie said with a sullen face.
Mrs. Jun? Prime Minister Qi was startled, and turned to look at Jiang Xuanjin.
The already pale lips became white because of the appearance of the person in front of him. Jiang Xuanjin raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, his eyes were extremely sharp.
Nonsense! — This is what Li Huaiyu read from his eyes.
Cursing her lips, she turned her head away from him, only staring at Liu Yunlie and said, "My lord hasn't asked me what proof I am here for."
What else can I prove? Liu Yunlie saw that she was not pleasing to the eye: "There is no need to ask, right?"
"It is necessary." Huaiyu nodded earnestly, "This matter is very serious. Now that all the adults are here, you should take the time to listen to my testimony."
Everyone knew her identity, so who would take her testimony to the Jiang family seriously? Liu Yunlie sneered, rolled his eyelids and said: "Madam insists on proof, so let's prove it, what proof?"
Li Huaiyu smiled, turned around to face him, and said word by word: "I want to testify that the top and bottom of Tingwei's house colluded, bribed the people, falsely accused Lord Ziyang with false testimony, shamed the emperor, and chilled the hearts of loyal officials!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yunlie slapped the table and stood up: "You are presumptuous!"
"Why?" Huaiyu raised his eyebrows, "Ting Wei's yamen gate is open six times, threatening that the mirror is hanging high, and the next one can sue, but in the end, he can't listen to himself?"
"Zhuji." Bai De frowned heavily, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could the Tingwei Mansion do these things?"
"Whether you did it or not, why don't you ask someone to confront me?" She smiled, "Just now when I entered the door, I said that I had clues about the assassin, and even revealed His Majesty's clothes. Drive me away. He didn't turn around and pass the message for me until I said that the Holy Majesty was assassinated near Jiangfu."
"Dare to ask Mr. Liu, what is the reason for this?"
Pick up the testimony that the Holy Majesty was assassinated near Jiangfu? Yun Lanqing frowned: "If Madam Jun's words are true, Master Liu, you should give Ziyang Jun an explanation for this matter."
"Yeah, taking a confession like this... how can there be such a thing?" Prime Minister Qi also frowned.
Liu Yunlie was stunned when he heard it, and stood up in puzzlement: "How could such a thing happen?"
"Are you being kept in the dark, my lord?" Huaiyu raised his eyebrows.
"I really didn't know there was such an act in the house." Liu Yunlie frowned. "The confession was collected by the official himself. After I got the confession and discussed it with several adults, I just asked the gentleman to come over."
"Have you ever thought about it, my lord?" Li Huaiyu said, "There are always few people on the official road near the Jiangfu. If His Majesty is really assassinated there, how many people will be able to see it?"
Liu Yunlie said: "There will always be someone who happens to..."
"What if there isn't one?" She sneered, "Didn't your lord use money to buy a false confession, so that someone would frame Ziyang Lord? Am I wrong?"
No matter how you look at it, it is more likely that there is no one around Jiangfu.
Yi Yang couldn't bear it any longer, he came forward and cupped his hands and said, "Madam's words are reasonable, but at most it can show that His Majesty was not assassinated near Jiangfu, but Lord Ziyang escorted His Majesty at that time, but still seriously injured His Majesty. Suspect?"
"Speaking of this, I would like to ask Lord Huben Zhonglang." Huaiyu turned to look at him, "Is it your duty to protect His Majesty? Your Majesty is away from the palace, where is Your Excellency?"
Yi Yang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "At that time, His Majesty didn't allow anyone to follow."
"Your Majesty refuses to let me, so will my lord seriously refuse to follow?" Li Huaiyu squinted, "Your Majesty, this is dereliction of duty! If Lord Ziyang is not here, if something happens to His Majesty, how many lives will my lord and his family pay for it? Thank you, Your Majesty. Instead, blame him for not protecting His Majesty unscathed in the shadow of the sword?"
"I..." Yi Yang wanted to argue again, but when he saw the accusing eyes of the adults around him, he was startled, and immediately bowed his head and dared not make another sound.
Li Huaiyu swept around the people present, and said: "Your Majesty, you should know what kind of person you are after so many years. Your Majesty wants to leave the palace, and you are saved by your Majesty. No matter the cause or the consequence, you can't blame it at all." Come to Jiang Fu!"
These words are well-founded, even if it came from a woman's mouth, some people in the hall nodded and said: "That's true."
"It makes sense." Han Xiao also agreed, but at the same time, he couldn't help but look at the lady twice.
This momentum is so familiar...
Bai Dezhong was going to scold her at first, but after hearing her finish, he thought for a while, and nodded along with him rarely: "I really don't understand, how could this matter be brought to Jiang's house."
Prime Minister Qi did not comment, but just twitched his beard and smiled: "Your Majesty married a very powerful wife."
"Excuse me." Bending his knees and saluting, Huaiyu looked at Liu Yunlie, "What do you think, my lord?"
Liu Yunlie was very helpless: "It's not my idea to ask you to come here today, but it was discussed by all the old ministers. How come I'm not a human being inside and outside?"
Not his idea? Li Huaiyu thought about it. That's true, this person has no reason to get along with Jiang Xuanjin, even if he was a little unhappy before, but with his temperament, he will not hold grudges.
So who else is the veteran here? Huaiyu raised his eyes and took a sneak peek.
Qi Han is an old minister. He used to be a minister. The position of prime minister was vacant, so he filled it. Sitting silently at the back was Tai Changqing, Ji Qing, who was also a veteran, not to mention Lin Zhaoying next to him, who had a lot of white beards.
These people are stubborn, but they are still loyal to the emperor.
Pursing her lips and thinking for a while, Huai Yu said: "Since all the adults also believe in Your Majesty, shouldn't it be time for him to return to his residence to continue recuperating?"
This is definitely impossible, Liu Yunlie shook his head: "There is a wing room in the mansion, and it has been cleaned up for your majesty. If your majesty wants to recuperate from his injuries, he can do it here."
House arrest in disguise? Li Huaiyu frowned, wondering if these people are crazy? Anyone can be on guard, but why is Jiang Xuanjin on guard
She wanted to say a few more words, but Jiang Xuanjin accepted it calmly.
"Since everything has been prepared, then I will bother you." He coughed lightly and said, "I am not feeling well, so I will trouble you all to track down the assassin."
Everyone stood up and cupped their hands: "Your Majesty, take care."
Huaiyu couldn't help but glared at him, after all, he was the leader of the party holding the military power, how could he be so easy to talk to
Jiang Xuanjin walked over with a blank expression, reached out and grabbed her wrist and pulled it out. Huaiyu struggled twice, but did not break free.
"Hey." She gritted her teeth and whispered, "Don't you think I'm disgusting? Why are you touching me?"
The hand holding her wrist was tight, Jiang Xuanjin didn't even look at her, and took her out of the teahouse. Follow the yacha to the wing, and then let go of her.
The door closed, Huaiyu took two steps back, rubbed his wrists and looked at him: "You know that these people keep you here on purpose, but you don't mind?"
"What's the matter?" He looked away and said indifferently, "Jiang's family didn't make any mistakes, at most they were implicated and held accountable."
Danyang is gone, the emperor's foundation is still shallow, and he, Lord Ziyang, who has served in the government for eight years, is not strong enough to protect him, which hurts His Majesty. It is reasonable to be suspected of ulterior motives.
He looked at him firmly. Huaiyu nodded: "That's my meddling."
After all, he stretched out his hand to pull the door.
As soon as the door opened a crack, Jiang Xuanjin stretched out his hand and pressed it back.
"Where do you want to go?" he asked.
She stiffened her neck and didn't look back, but she could feel him standing behind her, Huaiyu smiled lightly: "Don't you want to see me? So I'll leave quickly, so as not to anger you."
Jiang Xuanjin said coldly: "I didn't say clearly."
"How clearly do you have to say it?" Huaiyu was puzzled, "I have already said everything I should say."
"It's not you," he said, "It's me."
Slightly taken aback, Huaiyu turned around and faced him: "What?"
Jiang Xuanjin lowered her eyes halfway, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes: "Where did you go?"
Halfway through the conversation, come to ask her again? Huaiyu sneered, leaned against the door with folded arms, and said angrily: "Where did I go, you probably don't want to know."
Jiang Xuanjin frowned, slightly annoyed: "Say."
"Lu Manor," she said.
Slowly closing his hands, he tightened his chin, his eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Unhappy?" Huaiyu tilted his head and looked at him, "But, you drove me away, I have no other place to go, naturally I want to go to my friend's place."
"Friend?" Jiang Xuanjin sneered. "He doesn't consider you a friend."
"As for sowing discord?" Huaiyu pouted.
It wasn't to sow discord, that day at the gate of Tingwei's yamen, Lu Jingxing told him personally that he never regarded Bai Zhuji as a friend. As for the second half of the sentence, Jiang Xuanjin was in a bad mood every time he thought about it.
"Stay away from him." He whispered.
Huaiyu smiled softly: "Stay away from him, and then what? Waiting to be driven out of the house, and then die on the street?"
"..." The breath all over his body began to become anxious, Jiang Xuanjin leaned against her, seeing the indifference and alienation on her face that had never been seen before, and his heart clenched into a ball.
"It's better for you to rest." Huaiyu waved his hand, "Every time you talk to me, don't you get mad at me? For the sake of your health, go and lie down, I'm leaving."
"Going away?" He pursed his lips half-angrily and half-panicly, pressing on the door firmly.
Li Huaiyu looked puzzled: "What am I doing here? To disturb you?"
"You know I'm stuck, why don't you coax me?" His knuckles on the doorstring tightened, and he said angrily, "You know how to coax."
Huaiyu was stunned for a while when he heard the words of being three-point angry and seven-point coquettish.
This is... Is the wronged child asking for candy
Looking up at him, Huaiyu tilted her head and reached out to touch his pale and cold face. He smiled lightly and said, "You don't remember? I coaxed you, but you slapped my hand away so hard that it hurt a bit."
With a slight panic in his eyes, Jiang Xuanjin pursed his lips, and reached out hesitantly, wanting to touch the back of her hand.
Huaiyu put his hand behind his back with a smile: "Are you regretting it now? It's too late, I've been in pain, and I've been sad too. You can't get better if you hold it now."
"You..." Jiang Xuanjin frowned, "It's clearly you who did the wrong thing first."
"Yeah, I did something wrong, so I apologized and I was punished." Huaiyu nodded, "But if you talk harshly, I will be sad too. I was trying to coax you, but you wanted to Divorce me."
"… no."
"You want to say it's not true, are you angry?" Huaiyu blinked, "But if you say it, I will take it seriously."
Reaching out to straighten his clothes, she smiled: "Do you want to apologize to me?"
The aloof Mr. Ziyang apologized to others? Or in the case of her doing wrong first? Jiang Xuanjin frowned, feeling that she was bullying. The thin lips were pressed tightly.
Huaiyu stared at him for a while, seeing that he didn't seem to want to speak, so she shrugged her shoulders and muttered, "Sure enough, he was raised in the palm of someone's hand."
This kind of temperament cannot be changed, even if he knows that he is wrong, he will not apologize, will not bow his head, and will always let others bow his head to coax him. No matter how good-looking she is, she won't feel bad for others.
Shaking her head, she turned to leave.
However, as soon as he turned around, he was caught from behind, and the whole person stepped back half a step, and stuck into a warm embrace.
"I don't want to divorce you." Jiang Xuanjin buried her head and said in a muffled voice against her head, "No."
His heart seemed to be hit by something suddenly, his bones were a little numb, Huaiyu froze for a moment, blinked and asked: "What else?"
"Jiang Yan shuts you out of the house, I don't know."
Um? have no idea? The corner of Huaiyu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth: "That bastard!" Then he turned his head and asked, "What else?"
what else? Jiang Xuanjin was silent.
Huaiyu narrowed his eyes: "Is it so difficult for you to apologize?"
"..." It was quite difficult, I didn't know how to speak at all, Jiang Xuanjin frowned and thought for a while. He turned the person in front of him over and pecked lightly at the corner of her mouth.
Li Huaiyu really wanted to laugh, but forced him to stare at him with a tigerish face: "That's it?"
What else? Jiang Xuanjin really wanted to say that she was taking an inch, but just as she opened her mouth, the man stretched out his hand and kissed her directly on tiptoe.
Caught off guard, she broke in before closing his teeth, he snorted and frowned slightly.
Huaiyu didn't pay attention, just thought he was shy, and climbed onto his body, almost biting him. Jiang Xuanjin was stunned for a while, but then smiled, letting her run amok, and only reached out to support her waist to save her some strength.
While kissing, Huaiyu rubbed the tip of his nose against him, muttering inarticulately: "The smell on my body is the same as that in the Buddhist hall."
However, it seems to be a little different, in the heavy and elegant Fanxiang, there seems to be a fishy-sweet smell. What is it? Huaiyu thought blankly for a while, then suddenly took a breath and let him go.
"Your injury!"
"I just remembered it now. Isn't it too late?" He looked down at her, then bowed his head and kissed her.
"Don't make trouble!" With a sinking heart, Li Huaiyu hurriedly pressed against his chest, helped him to the side of the bed without any explanation, and looked up at his back.
A large part of the blue shirt was stained dark, and the smell of blood slowly came out through the clothes, and the injury was serious.
"You... don't you feel pain?" Li Huaiyu was shocked.
Looking at her wide almond eyes, Jiang Xuanjin pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "It hurts."
"Doesn't the pain stop me?" Huaiyu was angry, "You look like a beast to me!"
Isn't it a beast? Jiang Xuanjin shook her head, seeing her panic-stricken, she really wanted to comfort her: He has suffered injuries much more serious than this, it's nothing serious.
However, before he could open his mouth, the person in front of him said distressedly: "I was wrong, I will ask them to invite a doctor first, and then I will make amends to you no matter what!"
Hearing these words, Jiang Xuanjin swallowed back all the consolation, and let out a muffled groan in pain.
Huaiyu immediately picked up her skirt and looked for someone.
Lu Jingxing waited outside the yamen for a long time but there was no movement inside. He was worried, so he asked Zhao Cai to find someone to inquire about. Who knew that the yamen servant actually said, "The one who just entered is Mrs. Jun, and she is taking care of you."
Still taking care of it
Feeling relieved, Lu Jingxing quickly spread out his fan and slapped himself twice, "This person probably forgot to let me know."
I was really angry and had nothing to do with her.
"Then shall we go back first?" Zhao Cai asked.
"Go back?" Lu Jingxing squinted his phoenix eyes for a while and smiled, "You go back first, I'm going to deliver a greeting card."
Passing greetings to Tingwei Yamen, this is something only this master can do. Zhaocai resigned himself to his fate and got into the carriage, watched his master staggering into the gate of Tingwei Mansion, and then drove the carriage back.
The doctor came over to re-apply the bandage, Huaiyu stood beside him frowning and looked at him, seeing his rough hands and feet, couldn't help but said: "Can you be gentle?"
"This... is already very light. Your wound is deep, no matter how you touch it, it will hurt."
"But it can't make him hurt like this!" Huaiyu looked around, "Is there any Mafeisan?"
"That's not suitable, it hurts my brain."
"Then what should I do?" Huaiyu stared, thought for a while, opened her sleeves and stretched out her arms in front of Jiang Xuanjin, "Bite me!"
The snow-white lotus root arm was stretched out so generously, Jiang Xuanjin glanced to the side, and pressed it back for her with a dark face: "Don't make trouble!"
"Aren't you in pain?" She wrinkled her face.
"It's bearable." He said, "It's a help if you just stay there and don't move around."
Huaiyu had no choice but to stand beside him, scratching his ears and cheeks, when he heard someone shouting at the door: "Zhuji."
Who is Zhuji? Not knowing, Huaiyu continued to stare at the doctor for bandaging.
"Have you been hit by a horse in the ear?" Someone suddenly asked in her ear.
"Wow!" So frightened that she jumped up on the spot, Li Huaiyu covered her heart and turned her head, only to see Lu Jingxing looking at her with a half-smile, and the matching fan was knocking on the palm of his hand.
After taking a breath, she gritted her teeth: "Shopkeeper Lu, can't we talk properly if we have something to say? Why are you scaring people?"
"I called you just now, but you didn't answer."
After thinking about it blankly, Huaiyu suddenly remembered that she seemed to have a name called "Zhuji", so she quickly apologized: "Are you okay?"
Jiang Xuanjin looked up coldly.
Sensing his gaze, Lu Jingxing stared at Li Huaiyu without turning his head, and said, "Have you forgotten the agreement with me?"
Agreement? Huaiyu blinked, and patted his forehead with an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh size" level, "I really forgot, you actually came in?"
"I always have to look at you to rest assured."
How dare you say such a thing in front of him? Jiang Xuanjin squinted her eyes and glanced at Bai Zhuji. She was a fool, she didn't feel anything wrong at all, and her face was frank. However, the shopkeeper Lu next to him didn't say anything wrong, and casually glanced at him with provocation in his eyes.
Jiang Xuanjin sneered slightly, and let out a muffled snort with lowered eyes.
Huaiyu quickly ran back to the bed and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"Hmm." His long eyelashes drooped, and he responded in a low voice, looking very fragile.
Huaiyu turned her head and stared at the doctor: "Why are you attacking harder and harder?"
Doctor: "..." This has already been wrapped in two layers. The emperor didn't have such a big reaction just now. Now he is more lenient, and he shouldn't have such a big reaction!
Unable to argue, the doctor said aggrievedly: "You come in person?"
Huaiyu frowned: "I'm not a doctor."
"Hey, I'll do it." Stretching out his hand to thrust the folding fan into his waist, Lu Jingxing moved forward while smoothing his cuffs, "I can bandage."
"Really?" Huaiyu gave up his seat with confidence.
Jiang Xuanjin grimaced and said, "Don't bother."
"Hey, why are you being polite?" Lu Jingxing smiled kindly, and only showing a bit of evil when he got closer to him, "Afraid of pain? I will be gentle."
Jiang Xuanjin gritted his teeth, he stretched out his hand, and he blocked it with his uninjured hand, and a few moves were passed between raising his hand and dropping his palm.
"Don't move!" The doctor shouted hastily. "This side hasn't been wrapped yet, if you move it, it will fall apart!"
"He doesn't know how to pack." Jiang Xuanjin looked at Li Huaiyu, frowning slightly.
Huaiyu was taken aback, and leaned over to take a look, then rolled his eyes at Lu Jingxing: "What are you doing?"
"Who messed around? He was the one who moved around." Lu Jingxing snorted softly, "That's not how bitter tricks are used."
"Shopkeeper Lu might as well use this bitter trick." Jiang Xuanjin said, "Just give me an order, and someone from outside will bring the knife."
"Forgive me, Lu doesn't care."
Noisy again? Li Huaiyu blocked his own ears with his hand, squinted at the doctor, and signaled him to come and save her. The doctor had no choice but to separate Lu Jingxing against the fire and thunder, carefully bandaged the wound, then picked up the medicine box and ran away.
Huaiyu didn't keep him either, seeing that Jiang Xuanjin's wound was no longer bleeding, he was slightly relieved.
"Is shopkeeper Lu planning to stay here?" Jiang Xuanjin asked coldly.
Unfolding the fan, Lu Jingxing said, "You don't have to live here, the smell is bad."
Why don't you leave
You can stay if you want, you bite me
There was a round of eye contact, and the atmosphere in the room was a little stiff.
Li Huaiyu sighed: "Are the two of you not compatible?"
"The zodiac signs don't quite match either." Lu Jingxing added.
"Then don't stay in the same room." He got up and gave Lu Jingxing a push. Li Huaiyu said, "I'll take you out."
Without waiting for his objection, she pushed him out of the wing room, followed quickly and closed the door.
Jiang Xuanjin lowered her eyes.
Jiang Shen took Chengxu and Yufeng and finally found the wing room here. As soon as he entered the door, he felt that the room was gloomy.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Shen asked, "Didn't you say that the younger siblings came over? Why didn't you see anyone?"
Jiang Xuanjin said coldly, "I don't know."
Muttering a few words in doubt, Jiang Shen didn't bother with the matter, just said: "When I came here just now, my elder brother was still discussing with those people in the teahouse. It seems that the situation is not very optimistic."
It is impossible to convict the Jiang family for the assassination of the Holy Majesty, and the Holy Majesty will not allow it, but if those old men don't want to get entangled in this matter, they must pay something.
Jiang Xuanjin lowered her eyes.
The first emperor named him Ziyang Lord, and took advantage of the opportunity to give him the power of one hundred thousand troops stationed in Ziyang. It's just that he was never allowed to go back to Ziyang to contact the army for so many years, which can be regarded as the first emperor's defense against him.
The first emperor had foresight, so he trusted him and let him go, but other people in the court may not. In order to frighten Princess Danyang, no one raised any objection to his military power. Now is a good time to take the opportunity to let him return to military power. Scatter it in the hands of several generals, so that everyone doesn't have to be so afraid.
The abacus was well played, but unfortunately he would not back down.
Except for the elder brother Jiang Chong, the two major generals in the court and the central government already have more than 50,000 soldiers, and let them share the military power of Ziyang, how about the young master
Just thinking about it, Liu Yunlie came over. He looked solemn, and when he came in, he let his followers stay outside to guard the gate.
"Xuan Jin, have you thought about it?"
Meeting his gaze, Jiang Xuanjin shook her head: "You know my temper."
Right is right, wrong is wrong, it is impossible to use other things to pressure him to bow his head.
Liu Yunlie sighed: "You are still seriously injured, isn't it uncomfortable to toss like this?"
"It's okay." Jiang Xuanjin said, leaning gently on the pillow, "It's very good to recuperate here, avoiding trivial matters in the court, and stealing a bit of leisure."
In Tingwei's yamen, not being able to go to court early and not being able to do official business should be extremely fatal to those in power. However, the person in front of him didn't seem to care at all.
Liu Yunlie was puzzled: "You are not afraid to wait for your injury to heal. Has the sky outside changed?"
Jiang Xuanjin stared sideways at him for a while, and then said, "This gentleman knows whether it will change or not, the sky raised by me."
This is said calmly, but it is shocking to people's ears.
He's holding up the sky... isn't it? Since the death of Emperor Xiao, this piece of sky has been held up by Lord Ziyang. This man does not strive for fame and fortune, nor is he greedy for power. As time goes by, everyone seems to have forgotten, and forgot how strong this man was in the battle of King Qin Heart and thunder means.
"Hey, why is someone guarding here?" A crisp voice suddenly came from outside the door, muttering, "Get out of the way, I want to go in."
Liu Yunlie returned to his senses, and turned his head to look outside the door in a daze.
Seeing Bai Zhuji's figure appear, he suddenly smiled, and murmured: "No, Your Majesty is the same as before. It's already different."
Jiang Xuanjin used to be invulnerable, but now he has a weakness.
People with weaknesses can always be taken care of.
