It's time for her frail body to give birth. Jiang Xuanjin glanced at it, nodded slightly, and didn't suspect anything.
Huaiyu leaned on his shoulder and squeezed her small fists to swear, why is she so forgetful? After a few days of stable life, I almost forgot all the deep hatred.
The person next to him is Lord Ziyang, the one who sent her to hell with his own hands, even if he was really deceived by others, he is still half an accomplice! If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have died so quickly, and he wouldn't have died so unwillingly.
She is not Bai Zhuji, no matter how nice he is to Bai Zhuji, it is useless, he is sorry for Danyang!
Gritting her teeth, Huaiyu closed her eyes.
This justice, she will get it back from him sooner or later.
Jiang Xuanjin flipped through the documents quietly. Unlike the complicated mood of the person next to him, he was in a very good mood.
On a sunny day, the light shines through the wood-carved and paper-pasted windows, and the fragrance of Buddhist scriptures is wafting in the room, with the important affairs of the court in hand, and a gentle and beautiful lady beside you. .
If it was possible, Jiang Xuanjin felt that it would be fine to just let it go for the rest of his life.
"master."
In the evening, when Huaiyu was walking in the courtyard, Qingsi followed her and whispered, "The servants released from Feiyun Palace are all watched by the King."
Looking around without any trace, Huaiyu nodded lightly: "I know he doesn't simply want to forgive."
This is using people as bait, and the line is in his hands, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Who said Jiang Xuanjin was kind? Didn't this also put the lives of her palace people at risk
After thinking for a while with lowered eyes, Huaiyu said in a low voice: "You try to send a message to the shopkeeper Lu, and ask him to protect the person and don't be swallowed by the fish."
"yes."
She continued to walk as if nothing had happened, thinking about things while walking, and was concentrating on her thoughts, when she suddenly felt that someone was watching her.
"Who?" Huaiyu froze, Qingsi behind her reacted even faster, flew up and grabbed the person behind the pillar.
"Little Miss." Lingxiu looked at her anxiously.
"Why is it you?" Huaiyu let go of his guard and said with a smile, "Why are you hiding behind the pillar?"
Lingxiu bit her lips: "This servant is waiting for Miss, there are important things that haven't been prepared yet."
"Important things?" Huaiyu was a little at a loss, "What things?"
Looking at her with complicated eyes, Lingxiu was surprised and a little angry: "You don't remember?"
Seeing her expression, Huaiyu felt bad, and quickly rubbed her temples in distress: "I don't remember much about what happened before, can you remind me?"
Lingxiu stomped her feet: "Tomorrow is the anniversary of the death of my third aunt. No matter if you don't remember it, how can you forget this? According to the old rules, you have to prepare the incense paper money and choose a good place today!"
The third aunt of the Bai Mansion, Bai Zhuji's biological mother.
Li Huaiyu suddenly realized, and then patted himself on the forehead: "I shouldn't forget it. Fortunately, you reminded me, Qingsi, help me get ready."
"Of order." Qingsi nodded, turned around and walked out of the yard.
Huaiyu smiled and took Lingxiu's hand, shook it twice and said, "Good Lingxiu, don't be angry, you also know that your lady has been stupid for three years, so she will inevitably forget some things. I won't remember such important things in the future. , you remind me."
Lingxiu looked at her with mixed feelings in her heart.
She has been looking forward to her young lady recovering her sanity. But once recovered, it seemed like a completely changed person. If she hadn't been watching with her own eyes, she couldn't believe that the person in front of her was the cowardly young lady of her family.
I had doubts before, but I only thought that she had an adventure, and the changes were bigger. But seeing the young lady and that Qingsi together, Lingxiu felt that she seemed superfluous, and Qingsi seemed to be someone who had served the young lady for many years.
It seemed that she really wasn't her miss.
"Hey, don't ignore me." Huaiyu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, "Are you really angry?"
Lingxiu came back to her senses, lowered her head and said: "How could this servant be angry with Miss."
"I'm so scared that you're crying." Putting his hands together, Huaiyu bowed to her and smiled, "As long as you don't get angry and don't cry, I'll listen to you, okay?"
Looking at this smiling face, Lingxiu recalled in a daze that when he was in the White Mansion, this man was covered in injuries, and that's how he comforted her not to cry.
Her heart softened, and she sighed: "Miss, you are serious, and the slaves are also going to prepare things. Remember to wake up early tomorrow."
"Okay." Huaiyu obediently responded.
Lingxiu saluted and left, and took two steps outside. He couldn't help but look back at her.
It was still the same porcelain white face, black hair like clouds, and almond eyes. No matter how similar people in the world are, it is impossible for two people to be exactly alike.
The person is still the same person, but his temperament has changed drastically.
Shaking her head, Lingxiu walked out of the Moon Gate with her skirt in hand.
Huaiyu stood there watching, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he was slightly distressed. It's not easy to lie to people, there will always be something to show your feet.
We have to make a quick decision before it is exposed.
The gambling house case had been investigated for more than half a month, and Bai Dezhong finally brought a thick memorial and reported it on the first day the emperor resumed his early court.
Jiang Xuanjin was given a seat at the side, and when he raised his eyes slightly, he could see Bai Dezhong's court dress cuffs without a trace of wrinkle.
"I thought it was just a trivial matter among the people, but who knew that court officials would be involved." Li Huailin's face was still pale, his left hand rested on the soft pillow, his right hand flipped through the booklet held by the servant, and said in a deep voice, "Lord Bai has worked hard."
Bai De clasped his hands: "Supervising all officials and clearing up the atmosphere of the ruling and opposition parties is the job of a humble official, but I never thought Master Yi would be involved in it."
Mr. Ziyang's pot of soup allowed him to find out Yi Yang. After a search, he found out that Yi Yang had a close relationship with the gambling house. It was clear that he had made preparations to arrest people in advance that day, and the gambling shop used fraud to trap the two of the Bai family. Young master, Yi Yang is responsible for sending them to prison.
Why Bai Dezhong didn't want to understand why this move was intended, but it was obviously aimed at his Bai family. That being the case, he doesn't need to be soft-hearted.
After reading the memorial carefully, Li Huailin's face was not very good-looking: "The man who guards the capital actually mixes with the private gambling house? Have you searched his mansion?"
Bai De nodded: "I have searched, this is the second thing Wei Chen wants to say."
As he spoke, he took out another memorial from his sleeve, and raised his hands above his head: "I have no right to dispose of a thousand-stone general, and I ask the Holy Majesty to make a judgment."
As soon as he heard this, he knew that Yi Yang had made a fool of himself. Li Huailin quickly asked the servant to bring up the booklet. After reading it, he frowned and said angrily: "More than one hundred thousand taels of silver? Why don't I know when the annual salary of all the lovers will be changed from grain to grain?" In exchange for silver?"
The Manchu civil and military were in an uproar, and couldn't help talking in a low voice. Liu Yunlie stood beside Bai Dezhong, his face was not very good-looking.
It was originally a trick for Jiang Xuanjin, who knew that Bai De would be involved? This is good, it failed to force Jiang Xuanjin to give in, but instead got Yi Yang involved.
However, why did Yi Yang have contact with the casino? There is still so much silver hidden in the family. Why doesn't he know
"After careful investigation, there are more than 800,000 taels of black accounts in the gambling shop on Chang'an Street. Among them, there are three relatively large transactions, one of which is 200,000 taels. They were sent to the gambling house in June of the sixth year of Daxing. Fang changed the bargaining chip, and exchanged it out on the same day, and went to the former prime minister, Shi Lifengxing's residence. There are two other transactions that went to Yi's residence this year, and the amount matched exactly with what was found."
Bai Dezhong sighed: "When I asked General Yi Lang, he said that he won the money in the gambling house. However, the gambling shop was so good that Mr. Yi won more than one hundred thousand taels... I'm afraid it's a bit ridiculous. .”
With his right hand slapping the armrest, Li Huailin said angrily, "How dare he argue with such solid evidence in front of him?"
Jiang Xuanjin, who had been silent all this time, finally said: "The money flowing out of the gambling house can only be won."
"Your Majesty?" Li Huailin looked at him in surprise.
Jiang Xuanjin raised his eyes and cupped his hands, and continued, "It's just that I don't understand. The laws of the Northern Wei Dynasty are very clear. Those who are officials in the court are not allowed to participate in gambling. Those who violate it will be dismissed. Why did Lord Yi know the law and break the law?"
When he said this, Bai Dezhong remembered, frowned and said: "According to this, Mr. Yi is not only suspected of accepting bribes through gambling houses, but also violated the law."
This crime is much easier to carry out than accepting bribes. Officials who participate in gambling are directly dismissed and investigated.
Li Huailin pondered for a moment, then closed the script and nodded: "Then leave it to Mr. Tingwei to convict."
Hearing these words, Liu Yunlie managed to regain his composure, lowered his eyes and bowed his hands: "I obey the order."
Glancing at him, Jiang Xuanjin said again: "The other 200,000 taels that Mr. Bai just said went to Li Fengxing's mansion, and the date also coincides with the Jiangxi drought and corruption incident. Presumably the former prime minister Chang Shi's corruption case, It can also be completely convicted."
Li Fengxing was supposed to be exiled, but because Liu Yunlie hadn't checked clearly where the two hundred thousand taels of silver in his family came from, he was temporarily detained. Li Fengxing was still in prison, hoping that the limelight would pass and someone would intercede for him.
Liu Yunlie sighed silently, and cupped his hands towards Jiang Xuanjin: "Your Majesty is right."
This time he really believed in the wrong person, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to bow his head to Lord Ziyang.
However, he bowed his head, but Jiang Xuanjin didn't intend to just let him go.
"Speaking of the drought in Jiangxi in the sixth year of Daxing, I dare to ask, I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers the incident when the officials forced the palace?"
Jiang Xuanjin asked very gently, flicking his sleeves lightly, as if chatting with the emperor on the dragon chair.
However, when these words fell in the court hall, all the officials gasped in shock, and Li Huailin on the seat was also shocked.
"Ziyang Lord!" Liu Yunlie was annoyed, "How many years have passed, how can we bring up this matter again?"
At that time, Princess Danyang first embezzled the relief money, which made the disaster difficult to understand, plagued the city, and aroused public resentment. Later, he insisted on going his own way, closing the three cities of Jiangxi and beheading dozens of officials, which angered his ministers. In the anger of the crowd, Liu Yunlie brought all the officials into the palace, knelt outside the Young Emperor's palace, and asked the Young Emperor to be the master.
Said it was to seek justice, but at that time that behavior was tantamount to coercing the palace, even if it was only the eldest princess who was coerced, the young emperor might not be unhappy.
Now that the emperor is in charge, everyone has tacitly forgotten about it.
Who knew that Jiang Xuanjin would mention it again in court!
Liu Yunlie was so angry, he was also a little flustered, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at the person on the dragon chair.
Li Huailin's expression was solemn, and he was silent for a long time with his eyes downcast, before he said in a low voice: "I remember."
He was only eleven years old at the time, and was held in the arms of the imperial sister and sat on the dragon chair. He watched the palace people nervously pressing against the palace gate, and heard "Your Majesty" outside, shaking with fright.
Sister Huang was more courageous than him, and kept patting him on the back to comfort him: "Don't panic, you'll be fine when General Xu Xian comes back, and Sister Huang will take you to play in the Imperial Garden later."
"Will they rush in?" Xiao Huailin grabbed her sleeve anxiously.
Huaiyu shook her head with a smile: "No, I really rushed in. Sister Huang is standing in front of you."
The sky is falling, and there is still Huang Jie holding it up.
Thinking of the warm and reassuring feeling at that time, Li Huailin felt a little bit sour, and felt that his manner was lost, he quickly took a breath and looked down at Ziyang Jun.
"Why did you mention this matter?"
Jiang Xuanjin said calmly: "Li Fengxing has pleaded guilty, and the whereabouts of the disaster relief money is known. Shouldn't His Majesty seek justice for his sister?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Liu Yunlie, but also Qi Han, Situ Jing and others all stood up: "Your Majesty!"
The eldest princess is dead, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a taboo in the court. He just mentioned the matter of coercing the palace, but he even asked the emperor to seek justice for her
Crazy, really crazy! Liu Yunlie was right, Lord Ziyang must have been tricked, not only to help the remnants of Danyang, but also to complain for Danyang? !
Li Huailin was also very surprised. He stared at Jiang Xuanjin with a complicated expression for a while, and asked him in a low voice, "Is it really possible?"
Jiang Xuanjin chuckled lightly: "Right is right, wrong is wrong. Now that the truth is out, why not clear up people's grievances?"
His eyes brightened slightly, and Li Huailin raised his eyebrows and smiled.
All the people in the court stared at Jiang Xuanjin, with sharp eyes, doubts, and more anger. Jiang Xuanjin sat Shiran, as if he hadn't seen it at all, with a calm posture.
Returning to the court, Jiang Chong walked with him and couldn't help but said, "Third brother, what you did was right, but by doing this, I'm afraid you will isolate yourself from the group of officials."
Jiang Xuanjin got into the carriage. Calmly said: "I have never merged with them."
"But Princess Danyang..." Jiang Chong sighed, "Even if everyone made a mistake in this matter, it can't change anything, she is already dead."
"I didn't want to change anything at all." Jiang Xuanjin shook her head, "It's like clearing her charges of this matter will not change her other charges."
Jiang Chong understood that his third younger brother didn't suddenly want to help the eldest princess because of a gu, but he was just doing what he thought was right. But this... is really too stubborn.
Shaking his head helplessly, Jiang Chong said again: "Now that you can move around, go and ask your father, he has been worried about you, and he went to the temple the day before yesterday to beg you for a Guanyin."
Guanyin? Jiang Xuanjin nodded, thinking that it was time to ask for peace.
So, when he returned to Moju, he raised his eyes and looked around for Bai Zhuji, intending to take her there, but there was no one in the main building, and he didn't see him in the yard.
"Where did you go?"
Yufeng replied softly: "It's at the Xiyan Pool."
Wash inkstone? That place is remote, and Qingsi has been released, so why go there if you have nothing to do? Jiang Xuanjin was puzzled and stepped over to look.
The Feng Shui by the pool is good. Lingxiu laid out a few incense sticks and offerings, while Li Huaiyu knelt beside the brazier, burning paper money one by one.
Bai Zhuji is also very pitiful, she was brought up by her mother until she was four years old, but this girl has never even seen what her biological mother looks like.
But thanks to Bai Feng's baby girl, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get along with Jiang Xuanjin so smoothly.
Thinking of this, Huaiyu gratefully stuffed paper money into the brazier.
"Miss!" Seeing Junshang's figure in the distance, Lingxiu was startled, and quickly pulled her up, "Go and stop Junshang, don't let him come over and see."
Jiang Xuanjin is back? Li Huaiyu looked back, curled his lips and said: "Looking at it this way, I have seen everything that should be seen, so why stop?"
"Then you have to stop it too." Lingxiu said in a panic, "Your Majesty, come and watch, you won't be happy!"
A married woman burns paper for her biological mother at her in-law's house. Although she did not commit any major taboos, she always avoids her in-law's family. That's why she chose such a remote place, thinking that the king would send someone to find her . There is also time to cover up.
Who knew that Jun Shang would actually come to find him in person!
Lingxiu was in a hurry, she gently pushed her young lady's waist and let her pass.
Li Huaiyu was a little baffled, but she still walked over according to her intention, and bumped into Jiang Xuanjin's arms.
"oops!"
Jiang Xuanjin stood with his hands behind his back, and asked her coldly, "What are you doing?"
Huaiyu raised her head, covered her forehead with a serious face, and said, "You hurt me, pay for it!"
Tired of being a hooligan, now you want to be a robber? Jiang Xuanjin rolled her eyes and looked behind her: "What are you doing here?"
Lingxiu over there frantically put away her things, but couldn't stop the smell of incense wafting in the air. There was still paper money in the brazier, and there was no place to hide the offerings on the case table for a while, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Huaiyu glanced at it, and covered his eyes with his hand.
"Just pretend you didn't see anything, okay?"
Pulling her hand down, Jiang Xuanjin said slowly, "I've seen it."
Huaiyu was slightly annoyed, grabbed his arm and pulled him around, very angry said: "I will lend you a place to burn a piece of paper, don't you mind?"
This domineering tone has the posture of "If you mind, I will call the brothers in the whole vegetable market to kill you".
Jiang Xuanjin squinted at her: "Normally speaking, you should plead guilty to me now, instead of pinching my arm and threatening."
"Why do you want to apologize?" Huaiyu stared. "Am I not thinking of you?"
Burning paper money in his Moju, or for his sake? Jiang Xuanjin sneered, and slightly lifted his chin towards her: "Edit."
"Listen to my making up... Ah bah! Listen to me!" Li Huaiyu wiped his mouth and said, "You said the seven out of the way that day, I asked Lingxiu later, Lingxiu said the first of the seven out of the way is' Disobedient to parents'—a woman who disobeys her parents will be divorced!"
"Today is the anniversary of Bai Feng's death. If I don't burn paper money for her here, wouldn't that be considered unfilial? You like me so much, if I were divorced by the Jiang family because of unfilial piety, wouldn't you be sad?"
"For your sake, today's paper money will be burned no matter what!"
It's really well-founded.
Jiang Xuanjin was thoughtful: "Then do I have to thank you?"
"Family, you don't have to thank me." She heard the irony, but she still had the cheek to seriously agree, seeing that Lingxiu had almost cleaned up, she dragged him out.
With such an obvious thing in front of his eyes, how could Mr. Ziyang be fooled like this
able.
Your Majesty, whose gaze was like a torch in the court hall, turned a blind eye and let the person next to him drag him away from the inkstone washing pool, he really didn't care about it.
Lingxiu, who was in a cold sweat, was greatly relieved.
Li Huaiyu didn't know the rules of these houses, so he didn't think it was a big deal for Jiang Xuanjin to ignore it, so he asked him with a smile when he got out of the inkstone wash pool: "I came here specially. What's the matter?"
Jiang Xuanjin said, "Go and pay your respects to father."
"Okay." Huaiyu nodded with a smile, "It's true that I haven't seen the old man for a while."
Looking at her like this, it seems that she doesn't remember that she was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall by the old man.
It's not that Li Huaiyu doesn't remember, it's just that what the elders do is reasonable, she can't hold on to it, can she? She would be stingy and hold grudges elsewhere, but she has always been tolerant to those who want to call her father.
At least there are shouts.
Compared with Bai Dezhong, Huaiyu felt that the old man of the Jiang family had an advantage, that is, he was kind and seldom talked, and he would not talk endlessly like old man Bai.
Today, however, the situation seems to be different.
"This is the Avalokitesvara that my father prayed for you." The old man held a dragon head stick and asked the housekeeper to stuff a porcelain Avalokitesvara into her arms solemnly.
Huaiyu thanked her with a smile, looked at it suspiciously, and asked Jiang Xuanjin next to him in a low voice: "Why is this Guanyin still holding a child?"
Jiang Xuanjin's face turned dark.
He was also moved when he heard what his elder brother said, because Mrs. Jiang didn't really believe in gods and Buddhas, and it was unprecedented to be able to ask Guanyin for him.
But what he asked for was to send his son Guanyin.
"Father." Stretching out his hand and rubbing his forehead, Jiang Xuanjin said, "I'm never in a hurry about the matter of the heir."
The old man Jiang raised his eyebrows: "You got married late, if you don't hurry up and have a child, Yan'er will catch up later, wouldn't the family's seniority be messed up?"
"What's the trouble?" Jiang Xuanjin was helpless, "No matter how old or young, those who should be older will always be older."
"You're still talking to me!" The old man frowned and said with a slam of the dragon's head stick, "Is it that difficult to add a grandson to the Jiang family while I have a few more years to live as my father? "
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Huaiyu.
Huaiyu hugged Guanyin and blinked innocently, with a bewildered expression.
Jiang Xuanjin frowned slightly, stepped forward to block her, and said displeasedly: "This kind of thing depends on fate, how can we force it?"
Old Mr. Jiang sighed: "Being a father doesn't mean you have to give birth to one tomorrow, but you don't make me wait too long."
"Understood." Jiang Xuanjin responded with downcast eyes.
Li Huaiyu looked at him, and felt that although he said he didn't like the old man's reminder, he still seemed to be looking forward to having a child.
It's a pity, Huaiyu shrugged as she rubbed her stomach. She will never miss the medicine she should take.
The next few days. Except for going to court, Jiang Xuanjin spent the rest of the time in Mojuli with her.
Huaiyu reached out and hooked a strand of this man's black hair, and said weakly: "You are so strange, you yell that your wound hurts and you have to be fed, why doesn't it hurt at night? You are alive and well!"
Jiang Xuanjin opened her mouth and stuffed all her truth back into her throat.
Did you really listen to what the old man said? Huaiyu raised her eyebrows, flirting with him shamelessly, and put down the bed curtain with a twitch of her toes.
The death-defying cloud and rain, tireless greed, she will give him as much as he wants, and she will make up for all the joys of fish and water that Danyang has not tasted for many years.
It's just that afterwards, a bowl of "blood-enriching and Qi-enriching" medicine is indispensable.
On the branches of the moon, with soft light, Huaiyu took a wooden comb and combed the man's black hair. Jiang Xuanjin half leaned on the couch, staring intently at the person in front of him.
This is his person.
This thought flashed through his mind, his heart was slightly hot, he couldn't help but grabbed her hand holding the wooden comb, put it to his lips and kissed it lightly.
A tingling sensation spread from the back of his hand to his heart, Huaiyu shuddered and blinked at him.
There was a layer of moonlight between Jiang Xuanjin's brows, and her dark eyes were wet, staring at her motionlessly. Her black hair is loose, her robe is half-closed, and she is full of boundless beauty.
Swallowing, Huaiyu couldn't help reaching out to caress his face: "Beauty, would you like to go to the temple with me tomorrow?"
temple? Jiang Xuanjin was puzzled: "What are you going to do?"
Nuzui pointed to the Avalokitesvara of Sending Children on the table next to her, Huaiyu said with a smile: "You still have to ask for this thing yourself."
Jiang Xuanjin was silent.
This person really thinks he is in a hurry to have a child
Rubbing her shoulder with his fingertips, he didn't explain much, hooked her over, and said in a low voice, "It's better to ask for yourself than to ask for others."
Li Huaiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, stretched out his hand to push him and said, "I have to go there tomorrow anyway, I'm so bored."
"Okay." He replied, nudging her lightly, and then rolled into the mandarin duck quilt again.
The next day, Jiang Xuanjin got up and went to court, Huaiyu lay on the bedside, clutching her waist and wailing.
With a blushing face, Lingxiu rubbed her waist, and whispered: "Chengxu and the others all said that your majesty didn't like women in the past."
"Bah!" Li Huaiyu rolled his eyes and said, "The more serious you are in front of others, the more rascal you will be behind you!"
"It's all favors, miss." Lingxiu said, "It's impossible for others to look forward to it."
She knows that Jiang Xuanjin likes her and wants her to have a baby, but he can't be completely unrestrained, right? Poor Bai Zhuji's old waist is almost broken.
Grinning her teeth for a while, Li Huaiyu caught a glimpse of Qingsi coming back from the corner of her eye, and quickly ordered Lingxiu: "Bring me some breakfast."
"Yes." Lingxiu went out in response, Qingsi came in and closed the door behind her.
"How about it?"
"Return to master, the news has been released."
"Very good." Holding her hand to get up, Huaiyu found a clean dress and changed into it, and was ready to go out after dinner.
Chengxu was still guarding the gate of the courtyard, seeing her come out with blue hair, he asked a little surprised: "Aren't you waiting for the king?"
Huaiyu said: "It's uncomfortable to be bored in the room. I'll go to Bailong Temple first, and go to burn two more sticks of incense. When you come back, you let him come to me."
After staying in Moju for so many days, it's normal to feel uncomfortable, Chengxu didn't doubt it at all, and agreed with it with a nod.
Going out and sitting in the carriage, Qingsi said in a low voice: "Master Lu said that news will come within an hour."
Li Huaiyu lowered his head, touched the Buddhist beads on his wrist, felt guilty for a moment, and then calmly said: "Let's go."
Jiang Xuanjin used her people from Feiyun Palace as bait to catch the person behind the scenes, so why couldn't she use him as bait to also catch the person behind the scenes? With his ability, it is much easier to save his life than those palace people.
She made up this idea a few days ago, she found an opportunity to lure him out of the mansion, and secretly released the news to see if the person behind the scenes would be tempted by this excellent opportunity to assassinate.
If she is tempted, then she will have a back move waiting to arrest someone, if not ... just treat her as accompanying Jiang Xuanjin out to burn two sticks of incense.
This is a very reasonable arrangement, but for some reason, she panicked.
Jiang Xuanjin didn't know anything, and after hearing Chengxu's words after going down to court, he led his people to Bailong Temple.
"Master is in a good mood." Looking at the people in the carriage, Chengxu sat on the shaft of the carriage and whispered, "I seem to be very happy these days."
Yufeng said: "Everything is going well, plus Madam is obedient."
The main reason is that the wife is obedient and allows him to bully, can you be unhappy? Such a serious person, now he secretly smiles behind his wife's back, and when the cold Motong smiles, he does not know how many springs he has melted.
Thinking of the smile on Junshang's lips when he left Moju early in the morning, Chengxu couldn't help shivering.
The carriage passed through the woods in the north of the city, and the surrounding area was very quiet. Both Chengxu and Yufeng were silent, and became alert.
There used to be a lot of people passing through this forest, but today, for some reason, there is no one at the end of the road. Cheng Xuzheng felt strange, and suddenly heard a piercing scream.
"Master, be careful!" With a low shout to block the hidden weapon, the two got out of the carriage together, and surrounded the carriage together with the guards beside them.
The light and shadow flickered in the woods, and after a while, a figure appeared, dark and vague. Jiang Xuanjin lifted the curtain of the car and took a look, frowning slightly.
Yufeng pulled out the Emei thorn and Chengxu stepped forward, but found that there were quite a lot of people coming, there was constant movement in all directions, and the branches were rustling. But they seemed to be scruples about something, and they didn't make a move for a long time.
"There are more and more people." Chengxu's heart sank, he turned his head and whispered, "Master, let's make a gap later, you go first."
Jiang Xuanjin got out of the car. He scanned the surrounding area, shook his head and said, "I can't get away."
The other party obviously came prepared, knowing the number of guards he used to bring with him, he laid out an ambush several times more than them, and made a special trip here to wait for him.
More bad luck than good luck.
Chengxu was a little anxious: "Who leaked the news?"
Who knows? Jiang Xuanjin pursed her lips, the injuries on her body were not healed yet, if she was injured again, Bai Zhuji would definitely yell at him fiercely when she went back.
However, now he is not even sure whether he will go back or not.
The sound of whispering kept coming, and the people around them changed from a few to dozens, and finally more than a hundred masked people with knives surrounded them.
"meet again."
The leader came up and raised the knife in his hand: "Your Majesty, as I said last time, since you want to protect that beast, you should die together!"
This sentence... Jiang Xuanjin raised her eyebrows: "It's you again."
Yi Yang has never tracked down the group of people who were about to smash Danyang's coffin on the palace road in the past, and never thought they would appear here.
"It's me. I respected you last time and didn't do anything cruel." The man sneered, "It's different this time."
Staring at him seriously for a while, Jiang Xuanjin said, "I've seen you."
The leader was startled, subconsciously touched the scarf on his face, frowned and said, "Who are you scaring?"
Only a pair of eyes are exposed outside, even if you have seen it, you will not recognize it.
Jiang Xuanjin shook her head, waiting to say more, but someone beside said: "My lord, I have to delay for a long time, be careful of this person's tricks!"
It makes sense, the man nodded, waved the big knife in his hand, and slowly pushed forward with the man.
The dense crowd of people looked very desperate to see Chengxu Yufeng. With such a gap in the number of people, no matter how high the martial arts are, it is useless. We can only desperately see if we can give you a chance.
The sword was stern and murderous, and more than a dozen guards were squeezed into a ball, fearfully protecting Ziyang Jun in the middle, and the atmosphere was tense, ready to explode.
At this moment, there was another rustling sound in the woods.
The people on the outermost side of the encirclement noticed it, and when they looked back, they were startled, and quickly slapped the people around them to signal them to be careful behind them. Patting one floor after another, the leader raised his knife and was about to make a move when someone patted his shoulder.
"What are you doing?" He turned his head impatiently.
In the woods, the flags of the city guards were fluttering. Deputy General Jiang Qi and Ting Weizheng Xu Yan stood at the forefront. Seeing that they had noticed it, they waved and shouted: "Arrest!"
"Yes!" The two hundred guards shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky.
The first reaction of all the masked people was to run, rush up and tear a hole in the encirclement, and then rushed out desperately.
Jiang Xuanjin ordered in a deep voice: "Catch someone alive."
Chengxu and Yufeng agreed, and Feishen stepped forward, one left and one right to keep the leader.
Fighting broke out in the woods, swords collided, and shouts continued. The masked men who escaped ran without looking back, and those who could not escape desperately resisted. The tits swallowed their stomachs.
Xu Yan and Jiang Qu hurried up to salute: "Your Majesty is frightened."
Looking at them, Jiang Xuanjin didn't feel the joy of the rest of his life at all, and asked coldly, "Who gave you the courage?"
Jiang Qu was at a loss: "What do you mean by your majesty's words? Mr. Beizhi and Mr. Xu came here because they heard people report that your majesty was besieged here by thieves..."
"It's only a stick of incense." Jiang Xuanjin interrupted him, "I'm under siege, and it's only a stick of incense. Are you capable of gathering so many people and rushing here from two miles away?"
A stick of incense? Xu Yan was stunned, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I received the news an hour ago. I didn't see anyone when I came here. I was planning to withdraw. Who knew that your carriage suddenly arrived again. I thought something was wrong. , I just looked at it for a while, but I didn't expect..."
The message received an hour ago
This time it was Jiang Xuanjin's turn to be stunned. He had just descended to court an hour ago and hadn't walked this way yet. How could someone say that he was besieged
Turning around and looking around, there were corpses lying all over the ground, there was a faint smell of blood in the air, Chengxu and Yufeng were struggling to press down on the leader and were tying ropes for him.
Stepping up and walking over, Jiang Xuanjin stretched out his hand and pulled the man's face scarf.
It was a familiar face, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
"You didn't hesitate to use your body as a bait to catch me." The man spat and laughed, "Mr. Lao Ziyang values this so much, I'm not at a loss!"
"..."
He didn't use his body as bait, someone else used him as bait.
Feeling a little angry, Jiang Xuanjin stood up straight and said, "Since you are an assassin, please trouble your two lords to take him back to the yamen for interrogation."
"Your Majesty, won't you go back to the city together?" Xu Yan was curious.
Jiang Xuanjin shook his head: "I still have things to do, so you take him away."
"yes."
Chengxu frowned, and said in a low voice: "After something like this happened, you still have to go to Bailong Temple? The subordinates will go down and inform Madam, and just take her back to the residence."
"If you let her pass this kind of place, don't you want to scare her?" Jiang Xuanjin said with a suppressed anger, and got into the car with a flick of his sleeves.
Chengxu didn't say a word, he and Yufeng re-sit on the shaft of the chariot, and continued to Bailong Temple.
Cigarettes curl up in Bailong Temple.
Qingsi glanced sideways at the person next to her several times, and finally couldn't help but say, "Stop chewing."
Li Huaiyu came back to his senses, looked down and realized that he had been gnawing on his nails, laughed dryly, and quickly wiped his hands on his clothes.
"Nervous?" Qingsi frowned.
"No, why am I nervous?" Huaiyu casually asked with a stick in his hand and shook it. "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky."
"You..." Staring at her complicatedly, Qingsi shook her head, "You shouldn't bet on yourself."
The decision to marry Ziyang Jun is really a bit absurd, although now Ziyang Jun is indeed moved as she wished, but what about herself? Isn't there no way to hate him like before
"Oh, don't worry." She smiled lightly, "I'm fine, I'm just acting on occasion, don't be fooled by my play."
Yeah? Qingsi pursed her lips and sighed lightly.
The stick was rattled and rattled, Li Huaiyu stared at the entrance of Bailong Temple, and was a little distracted.
A stick was shaken out, and it fell to the ground with a "click", she was stunned, and bent down to pick it up.
"Zhuji." The voice lingering in the fragrance of Buddha sounded at the door.
Startled, Li Huaiyu raised her eyes quickly, and when she saw the familiar figure in the distance, she grinned.
Jiang Xuanjin was as handsome as before, without a trace of blood on her body, and walked towards her at a leisurely pace, like a fairy descending from the heavenly palace, with misty clouds of smoke and bright sun and moon between her brows.
Looking down at the lottery in her hand, she smiled even more happily, stretched out her hand and raised it to the front, and said happily: "Look, you are a lottery right from the moment you come!"
Having just experienced life and death, Jiang Xuanjin was still uneasy and angry, but when he looked down at her, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
"That's great!" Holding the lottery, Huaiyu reached out and hugged him, buried her head in his chest, paused, and repeated, "That's great!"
One is signed, so why are you so happy? Jiang Xuanjin was puzzled, but still let her hold her and stood with her for a while.
His heart was a little tight, and he couldn't explain why. Li Huaiyu closed his eyes, and his hands tightened more and more, wanting to grit his teeth and rub him into his bones.
However, she cannot afford to lose her composure. Can't let him notice the clues.
Taking a deep breath, Huaiyu let go of him, and asked with half reproach and half heartache, "Did you procrastinate again this morning?"
Jiang Xuanjin shook her head: "Something happened on the road."
"What's wrong?" She raised her eyes, her eyes were clear, and she wasn't even half guilty.
Staring at her, Jiang Xuanjin lowered his eyes: "It's nothing, the small troubles have been resolved."
Is that still called a small fight? Chengxu behind was still pale, what would happen if the guards didn't come? He didn't even dare to think about it!
Pulling her into the main hall of the temple, Jiang Xuanjin said, "Kowtow to the incense."
There are not many pilgrims today, and knowing that Lord Ziyang is coming, the main hall has already been cleared. There were only two of them kneeling in the huge Buddhist hall, Jiang Xuanjin wanted to wave his hands in a bow, but the person next to him grabbed him tightly and refused to let go.
"do what?"
Clutching his hand tightly, Huaiyu smiled and said, "It's hard to let go."
"Don't mess around, you're desecrating Buddhism."
"Buddhas don't think this is blasphemy." Holding him with one hand and standing in front of him with the other, Li Huaiyu looked at the golden Buddha statue solemnly and bowed reverently.
Jiang Xuanjin struggled to no avail, looked at her with disgust, and kowtowed three more times in front of the Buddha.
Set off to return home. The two sat in the carriage, and Huaiyu began chattering about what he saw while waiting for him, such as the infatuated woman who came to ask for marriage, the filial man who came to ask his mother's serious illness to recover soon, some very ordinary things , said it from her mouth, adding a bit of fun.
Jiang Xuanjin listened quietly, and calculated that she was about to reach the woods, so she took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose without saying a word.
"What's the matter?" Li Huaiyu blinked, and said in a low voice, "Do you suddenly feel that I am so beautiful that I am afraid of being robbed by bandits?"
"Worry." He shook his head.
Huaiyu laughed, and let him cover it with his hands, pretending that he didn't smell the bloody smell blowing in from the wind outside.
After entering the main city, Jiang Xuanjin still asked her in a low voice: "Have you ever told others about going to Bailong Temple today?"
"I said it before." Huaiyu said, "I always have to explain to the people in Mojuli."
"What about people other than Mercury?"
"I've been in the main building, people outside Moju, where should I go?"
Nodding, Jiang Xuanjin didn't ask any more questions.
Li Huaiyu squeezed his hand with downcast eyes, feeling that this person is actually quite simple. He believed everything she said.
Passing the official road, there was a lot of people outside, Huaiyu asked curiously: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Chengxu turned back to the carriage and said: "There is an imperial list posted."
"Huh? What did you post?"
After listening to the discussion of the people nearby, he took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty personally wrote an edict on the crime committed by the former Prime Minister Shi Li. I didn't see what was written in detail, but everyone seems to be mentioning Princess Danyang."
Huaiyu was taken aback, grabbed Jiang Xuanjin's hand and shook it: "You must know, right?"
Jiang Xuanjin said: "You read it a few days ago."
A few days ago... Huaiyu was speechless: "The one who said he wronged the eldest princess?"
He nods.
With a slight twitch in her heart, she pouted and acted coquettishly: "I'm going to watch the fun, Your Majesty's own handwriting! I've never seen what kind of handwriting our Majesty wrote."
"no."
"Why?!"
"Too many people, dangerous."
Huaiyu gritted his teeth: "Then you go with me!"
This person is really becoming more and more lawless, Jiang Xuanjin shook his head, retracted his hand, and looked away coldly.
Seeing this, Huaiyu immediately jumped out of the car as soon as he let go of his hand, and squeezed into the crowd by himself.
"Master?" Chengxu stopped the car on the side of the road, looked at the bouncing back of his wife, and called out in embarrassment.
"Who cares about her?" The people in the carriage snorted coldly.
There were too many people at the front of the imperial list, even though Li Huaiyu wore simple clothes today, she couldn't squeeze through the crowd in front of her, she was so angry that she held up her skirt and danced on the spot. When jumping the highest, you can glance over the front head and see the shadow of Huangbang. But it was about to fall to the ground in just a moment, and the words on it were not clear at all.
Furious, Huaiyu mustered all his energy, kicked the ground and jumped hard, glanced unwillingly, and was about to fall down again.
But this time, before she fell down, her waist suddenly tightened.
Someone reached out and grabbed her waist, not only stopped her falling trend, but also lifted her higher.
Huaiyu was taken aback for a moment, turned her head in doubt, and saw Jiang Xuanjin's expressionless face.
"Look." He said coldly.
Li Huaiyu was dumbfounded, this posture is really... Many people around looked over in surprise.
"Don't watch?" Seeing that she didn't respond, Jiang Xuanjin let go of her and put her down, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Hey!" Huaiyu stretched out her hand to grab him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, she hugged his arm and did not let go, "Since you are enduring the injury, why don't you take two more steps and watch with me?"
Jiang Xuanjin was very impatient: "There are too many people."
"Just treat them as carrots and cabbages!" She stomped her feet.
Glancing at her angrily, Jiang Xuanjin looked at Chengxu and Yufeng behind.
The two knew each other, got out of the car and came to open the way.
All the common people were looking at the imperial list. When they squeezed in, all of these people's eyes fell on Jiang Xuanjin.
Jiang Xuanjin's face darkened.
Sensing that this master seemed to be getting more and more irritable, Huaiyu quickly raised his head and read the imperial list as quickly as possible.
Huai Lin ordered Li Bing to commit the crime of corruption, and directly wrote down the whereabouts of most of the disaster relief money in the six years of Daxing. He didn't clear up the crimes for Princess Danyang, but everyone who watched knew that Li Fengxing was the culprit, and they wronged Danyang.
Feeling hot in his heart, Huaiyu took a light breath, contentedly pulled Jiang Xuanjin back to the carriage, and buried his head in his arms.
Thank you.
She said so in her heart.
Naturally, Jiang Xuanjin couldn't hear her, and only thought she was tired from dancing, so she asked Chengxu to return home quickly in a low voice.
"I still have to go to the yamen." At the gate of Jiangfu, he put her down, pursed his lips and said, "You have lunch first, don't wait for me."
"Okay." Huaiyu nodded with a smile, then watched his carriage continue to go to the Yamen.
Chengxu followed, but Yufeng stayed behind.
After hesitating for a while standing beside her, he still whispered: "Just now on the way to Bailong Temple, Your Majesty was besieged by people. He almost died."
Li Huaiyu paused, turned around slowly, and asked with a complicated expression: "The situation was critical at that time?"
"A close call."
"Then your majesty... why are you acting like a normal person?"
Shaking his head, Yufeng said: "No matter what happens, he won't let you worry."
Even when she came back, she was afraid that she would find out that someone had died in the forest, so she tried to cover it up.
A face is cold and indifferent, but the heart is softer than anything else.
Her throat was a little tight, Huaiyu gritted her teeth, took a deep breath and tried to suppress this weird feeling.
If she couldn't be moved, how could she be moved by the murderer
Jiang Xuanjin's means were more than hers, there was nothing to feel bad about, even if he almost died, isn't he still dead? Unlike her, she will never change back to Danyang.
Clenching his fists, Li Huaiyu stabilized his mind, put on a face of false impatience, and murmured: "Then when he comes back, I will have to comfort him."
