Chapter 250: Dissatisfied Xiao Shao
After Tianzhu said this, he couldn't care about anything else, but he couldn't drop the dewdrops, so he had to carry her to the side easily, but he saw Forsythia lying on the ground, and when a knife mark on his chest was shocking, he thought that the blood should have flowed down from Forsythia. The dew supported some residual sobriety, and he was also shocked and frightened when he saw this scene, and he was shocked that Forsythia was seriously injured, and he didn't know what the current injury was, but he was afraid that Jiang Ruan was gone. She was about to call Jiang Ruan's name weakly, but was stopped by Tianzhu and said, "Don't shout, we have been tricked." β
Dew Drop is not stupid, after thinking about it, he understands that the assassins in these crowds suddenly shouted and shouted to kill the unarmed people, could it be just a series of attacks, but the main purpose was to kidnap Jiang Ruan? Thinking of this, the dew was afraid for a while, she had already lost too much blood, and at this moment, her face was even more pale, almost shaky, and said, "The young lady is in danger, ......." Tianzhu, what should I do? β
Tianzhu looked around, the people around her were still fleeing in all directions, she suddenly noticed something, only to see that the back of the carriage contained several small wooden boxes rewarded by the Empress Dowager Yide, all of which were missing at this moment. She suddenly realized something, and said in a low voice: "It turns out that the young lady is ...... on purpose. β
"What did you say?" The voice of the dew drop became more and more low, Tianzhu saw this, and couldn't care about anything else, at this moment, the two of them were unconscious and the other was seriously injured, although Jiang Ruan was also very nervous, but if something happened to the dew and forsythia, wouldn't it be a waste of Jiang Ruan's hard work. Since Jiang Ruan could have figured out this game a long time ago, he must have a way to deal with it. After Tianzhu followed Jiang Ruan for so long, he understood Jiang Ruan's temperament a little bit. Immediately took out a signal firework from his arms, but it was still early today, and the fireworks were not obvious enough, but it was enough for the nearby Jinyi guards to see and come over to help.
Steward Lin was counting the expenses in the mansion this month, thinking that the mansion didn't seem to have added new things soon after the beginning of the year, even if there was a turbulent undercurrent in the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, it was still the same as what should be purchased. Steward Lin was still washing and calculating, and he heard a panicked voice coming: "Steward Lin, it's not good!" β
Steward Lin looked up and saw that this person was a young man in the porter, so he reprimanded: "What kind of panic is it, I have told you, we are the palace, we must have the bearing of the palace, don't babble like a small family, and sweep the young master's face......." β
"Oh no, Steward Lin! The young lady has been taken captive! Forsythia and Sister Luzhu were both injured, and Sister Tianzhu just came back, looking for Xia Xiao's divine doctor everywhere! The fellow finally ran to him, and said everything like a bean in a bamboo tube without stopping, and only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief. Before he could react, he saw Steward Lin, who was still sitting at the table with his beard twisted steadily, jumping up from his seat suddenly, and his voice resounded almost high-pitched throughout the palace: "What! Where is it! Hurry up and show me! β
Jiang Ruan was taken away, Forsythia and Dew Drop were seriously injured, and the fact that he was unconscious at this moment spread throughout the Jinying Palace's mansion almost in a short stick of incense. The chaos on the street today came suddenly, and it was just a sudden attack on the people by the mob, but he didn't think that the real purpose was Jiang Ruan. Those people are fierce and vicious, who knows what will happen to Jiang Ruan? Xiao Shao hadn't come back yet, and Ye Feng had already given a signal to the Jinyi guards lurking in various places in the capital, and made every effort to track down Jiang Ruan's whereabouts.
It's just that now Jing Zhaoyin in the capital has just arrived, and he is naturally frightened when he learns that Jiang Ruan was kidnapped. What is Jiang Ruan's identity, don't say that the Jinying Mansion is behind his back, even the general's mansion that protects his shortcomings is not something he can afford to offend. Naturally, he did not hesitate to let people check immediately, so that the capital was even more chaotic, and the people were also panicked, and the streets were in a mess.
Jiang Xinzhi was handling official business in the military aircraft battalion, and only heard his soldiers come to report: "General Jiang, I have just received an urgent order ...... ahead." He hesitated a little, his tone paused, everyone knew that this young general was the most protective of his shortcomings, and Jiang Ruan was very protective when he was not married, if he heard the news, how terrible it would be......
Jiang Xinzhi glanced at him, and said in a deep tone: "What's the matter?" As he stayed in the military aircraft for a longer time, Jiang Xinzhi's majesty and domineering spirit as a general of a country also increased, and the elegance of the former scholars was now sharpened more resolutely, and he felt a little bit not angry and arrogant. When the little soldier heard this, his body trembled, and he immediately said: "Princess Jinying was abducted in the chaos of the mob on Chengxi Street at dusk today, and her whereabouts are still unknown. β
As soon as the words fell, I saw the calm and resolute young general stand up suddenly, his face changed in an instant, and his tone trembled a little imperceptibly: "What did you say?" β
The little soldier was still hesitating whether to repeat Fang Cai's words to Jiang Xinzhi, but he felt a gust of wind on his face, Jiang Xinzhi had already walked out of the camp in three or two steps, and regardless of the surprised eyes of the recruits who were training behind him, he jumped on his horse and rode away.
The little soldier looked at it with a smile, and the recruit on the side came over and asked curiously, "General, what's the matter?" It's so rushed. β
"The general's sister...... They were taken captive. The soldier replied.
At the same time, in the south garden of the palace, Xuan Pei stood in front of the window, I don't know why, since Jiang Ruan left, his heart has not only not settled down, but seems to have become more uneasy, always feeling that something is going to happen. Chaoyang stood quietly behind him, and Xuan Pei pulled his shirt a little irritably. The cool wind on the face can't soothe the impatience in the heart, what is this for?
On weekdays, as long as he sees Jiang Ruan, he will be very happy for many days, and he can settle down because of this, but recently, I don't know why, I always feel a little strange, but I am more and more irritable. After thinking about it, I probably still feel that Jiang Ruan's words and deeds today are also a little wrong.
Xuan Pei thought hard, Jiang Ruan uncharacteristically told him what to do today, saying that he would discuss with Xiao Shao before making a decision, but why not discuss with her? If she is there, why let yourself get along with Xiao Shao. Xuan Pei sensitively felt that there was something wrong here, could it be that Jiang Ruan already knew what he would do next, and she was not there, so she let Xiao Shao do it for her? Why is she not there?
The Divine Decree had now been delivered to Jiang Ruan, who said that the Jinying Palace's Mansion was the best place to protect the Divine Decree, enough to attract all of Xuanli's attention. It is certainly a good ...... to draw the attention of Xuanli to the past. But now, the holy decree is still in Jiang Ruan's hands. Xuan Pei's eyes widened suddenly, and he thought of the key point almost immediately. No, there's something wrong here!
He and Jiang Ruan have been mother and son for two lifetimes, although there is no blood relationship, but there is probably some spiritual connection. Xuan Pei thought of Jiang Ruan's plan almost in the blink of an eye, he slapped his palm on the window eaves, and shouted, "Oops! β
At the same time, I saw Mingyue running in from outside, and said in a hurry: "Your Highness, on the way back to the palace, the princess was injured by thugs on the road, and was abducted in the chaos, and her whereabouts are still unknown." β
Xuan Pei closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Sure enough." β
β¦β¦
On this day, many people in Beijing were able to sleep peacefully, and the chaos at dusk was already panicking, and the news of Princess Jinying's abduction spread far and wide, and the whole capital was talking about it. Among them, there is a princess who sighs for Jiang Ruan, a princess who is very good, once she is taken away, this innocence is not clear. There are also people who are secretly proud, and the jealousy of people in the world is always not less, and there is no shortage of such things as falling into the well from ancient times to the present.
And the Jinying Palace's house was brightly lit all night, and the people did not dare to come out, and everyone had a solemn and sad look on their faces. My young lady was kidnapped and I don't know what the situation is so far, and it is also a torment for the next person. But no matter how hard you suffer, it can't compare to the suffering of your own master.
The lights in the study are the same as in the past, but in the past, Jiang Ruan sat inside reading and writing, waiting for Xiao Shao to come back, but today Xiao Shao is sitting inside, waiting for someone who can't go back for the time being.
Steward Lin stood aside, and under the reflection of the lights, his facial features seemed to be strangely a few years younger, and he actually showed a bit of uprightness. But at this moment, no one notices this. And Steward Lin looked at Xiao Shao, who was sitting at the desk and didn't know what to think, and comforted: "Master, let's rest early, if the young lady is here, it won't be easy to see it." β
Xiao Shao didn't seem to hear his words, and looked at the tea cup in front of him silently. Steward Lin sighed softly, knowing that Xiao Shao couldn't listen to what he said at the moment. Since learning the news of Jiang Ruan's abduction, he personally took Jinyiwei and Jiang Xinzhi to search the entire capital, and the door-to-door interrogation at the city gate was not missing, how could Xiao Shao give up? Steward Lin looked at the young man sitting at the table with green pines, his eyes were a little stunned for a moment, and he suddenly saw the appearance of Prince Hongxi when he left Xiang Xiaoyuan, at that time, Prince Hongxi was also sitting at the desk in silence, looking at the codex that Xiang Xiaoyuan had written, and he sat all night.
Maybe this is father and son, who said that the royal family has been ruthless since ancient times, Xiao Shao and Prince Hongxi, but they are real lovers. Huiji will be hurt, and his love will not live, and Steward Lin can't tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. However, Xiao Shao really doesn't need any comfort at the moment, he just needs to sit quietly alone.
Steward Lin didn't persuade anymore, slowly retreated, gently covered the door, and ordered the two guards guarding the door. I went to the kitchen first to watch the medicine for forsythia and dewdrops.
Xiao Shao sat at the desk, the soft light could not melt the indifference of his expression in the slightest, the alienation and coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away almost made him return to a long time ago, when he had just received Jinyiwei, cruel, bloodthirsty, indifferent, and heartless. Now there is a person who warms his heart, but suddenly disappears, and he only has chagrin for himself in his heart.
What came to mind was the picture of Jiang Ruan standing on tiptoe to arrange his collar for him early this morning, and he said that he would come back for a walk in the evening, and Jiang Ruan agreed. But when she came back in the evening, she was gone.
This is a premeditated conspiracy, a conspiracy under the opponent's voice, but it is Jiang Ruan himself who is in charge of all this. Xiao Shao lowered his eyes, and as soon as he heard the ins and outs of the matter from Tianzhu, he understood Jiang Ruan's plan. She had long planned to use herself as bait to lure out the departed people. She had already planned everything, and even this morning she was clearly aware of what might happen at dusk, but she still had to pretend to say goodbye to him as if nothing had happened.
It's ....... Xiao Shao's face turned pale and clenched his fists, deceiving people too much.
Monkey business! It's too messy! I don't have the consciousness of being a wife! I didn't take my husband in my eyes at all! Many thoughts crossed Xiao Shao's mind in an instant, but what remained most of them was distress and guilt. I feel sorry for her, I always have to risk my life for these things, and I feel guilty that as a husband, I didn't even notice this, and I said that I had to protect her life but still didn't do it.
He closed his eyes, his long eyelashes filled with a beautiful shadow, and he trembled slightly, and he even looked a little tired. At this moment, the door was pushed suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, and looked towards the door with his eyes like a sword, but saw Qi Feng walking in.
"What's the matter?" He sat up straight, his mood today was indeed not very good, and for Qi Feng, his tone was inevitably a little hard.
Qi Feng also ignored his look, because of his special relationship with Xiao Shao, the guard at the door did not stop him, walked in, sat down opposite Xiao Shao's desk, and poured himself a cup of tea, only then did he meet Xiao Shao's cold gaze, and said calmly: "I'm here to tell you about the third sister-in-law." β
Xiao Shao's expression moved, his eyes suddenly shot sharply at him, and said coldly: "You already know the way?" β
"Yes." After Qi Feng said this, he felt that Xiao Shao's gaze was even more unkind, and he almost wanted to eat him alive. As a fellow senior brother, it's not that he hasn't seen Xiao Shao's terrible appearance, but even if he kills someone, Xiao Shao is always cold and unwilling to show a trace of emotion. But now he unabashedly revealed his displeasure with him, which suddenly made Qi Feng feel a lot of pressure, he smiled bitterly, and then said: "In fact, before this, the third sister-in-law came to me once, and this is what she discussed. β
Xiao Shao didn't speak, just looked at him coldly. Qi Feng said to himself: "The third sister-in-law has long wanted to use this matter to lead to the movement of Xuanli and the southern Xinjiang side. However, the most important purpose of her is for the thirteen princes in the palace. Only in this way, Xuan Li put all his eyes on her, thinking that if he got the fake holy decree, he would relax the surveillance of the Thirteen Princes in the palace, so that the Thirteen Princes would be much safer and buy some time. After a pause, Qi Feng continued: "I once asked the third sister-in-law, that fake holy decree is too risky, if it is discovered, it will even be a big crime to lose your head. But the third sister-in-law said that she had a true holy decree, but it wasn't that one. I don't know what went wrong, and the third sister-in-law doesn't seem to want to talk to me more, but there should be no problem with the appearance of vows. Although this plan is risky, it is indeed the best way, so that things are simplified, and before Xuanli knows it, he has fallen into a trap. β
Xiao Shao was slightly stunned, but it was not because Jiang Ruan discussed this matter with Qi Feng, but the key to Qi Feng's words. Qi Feng said that the fake holy decree that Jiang Ruan was looking for was not fake, and if he wanted to hide from the person who had left Xuan, it was indeed impossible to simply fake the holy decree, but Jiang Ruan did not tell Qi Feng the reason. If this matter is really discussed with Qi Feng to this point, there is naturally nothing to hide. Unless this matter is important, it is true that Qi Feng cannot be told. What is it, Xiao Shao already has the answer in his heart - his life experience. In this way, it is clear that what is on that decree must be the decree that made him the prince.
The emperor has always wanted him to sit in that position, Xiao Shao Zhilu said, he has always made it very clear that he has no will to treat the country, the emperor is a stubborn person, he has not given up for so many years, but Xiao Shao did not expect that the emperor did not hesitate to use his life to force him to succeed to the throne, and even hid a holy decree.
This holy decree is a hot potato for Xiao Shao, once it is discovered, his life experience will be exposed, which is the last thing he wants to see. Staying away from the royal family, away from the undercurrent of the imperial court, this is what King Lao Jinying has always hoped he can do. Even if the relationship between King Lao Jinying and him is not father and son, Xiao Shao has never forgotten this sentence.
For so many years, he has been dealing with southern Xinjiang, walking on the edge of danger, and leaving Beijing from time to time, just so as not to get involved in the rights and wrongs of the DPRK and China. He likes to kill neatly, but not to sinister arrows. Jiang Ruan Zhilu said that he was unwilling to be the emperor, and she made such a decision, on the one hand, to attract Xuanli's attention to Xuanpei, and on the other hand, it was for him.
In order to let him have no worries and never suffer in the future, it was a decision she made for him to cut off this imperial order and declare it off.
No wonder, that night, Jiang Ruan asked him: "Do you want to be the emperor?" She had long known that the emperor had made a holy decree with him. She's helping him out of these problems in her own way.
For a long time, everyone seemed to think that Jiang Ruan had a cold temperament, a hot face and a cold inside, compared to Xiao Shao after getting married, he became more humane, but Jiang Ruan was still the same as before. But Xiao Shaozhi said that she was just not good at expressing herself, for example, at this moment, she was silently paying in her own way.
Seeing Xiao Shao's thoughtful expression and the changing look in his eyes, Qi Feng couldn't help but feel bitter. He cleared his throat before he said, "The reason why the third sister-in-law came to me is because you will definitely not agree to let her put her at risk. Rather than let you be on guard, it's better to strike first. The news that Xuanli's subordinates in the palace got was deliberately revealed to them by me. β
Xiao Shao glanced at him, didn't speak, got up and was about to walk out. Qi Feng also stood up, grabbed him and said, "What are you going to do?" β
"Let it go." Xiao Shao pulled out his sleeve.
Qi Feng pressed his shoulder: "You want to order Jinyiwei again, right?" Don't go! β
Xiao Shao looked at him coldly, and Qi Feng hurriedly said: "Think about it clearly, why did the third sister-in-law do this, and she went into danger like this, isn't it all for you?" If you really go and order Jinyiwei now, the third sister-in-law will be rescued, but her hard work has been in vain, but it has made Xuanli have a defense. In this way, the gains outweigh the losses! Seeing that Xiao Shao didn't answer, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "I know that you are not angry now, and I am also..." I can understand that, but you have to calm down. Now that the third sister-in-law is not here, only you can continue her plan, if you are all messed up, Jinying's palace will not be messed up. How can the third sister-in-law not be angry when she sees it? β
After he finished speaking in one breath, he found that his emotions were a little too excited, and he was a little embarrassed for a while. He can see a little bit of Jiang Ruan's mind with a clear eye, although he has not done anything beyond the bounds, and he has tried his best to be a gentleman and frank in his relationship with Jiang Ruan, but every time he meets Xiao Shao's indifferent eyes, he feels a little weak and short-breathed, Xiao Shao clearly didn't say anything, and he didn't do anything, Qi Feng can still feel that Xiao Shao is very dissatisfied with Jiang Ruan getting close to him. This indifferent and indifferent man has a strong possessiveness in his bones, which makes people can't even think about it in their hearts.
Xiao Shao glanced at him again, there was no emotion in his dark eyes, and he said lightly: "I'll go rest." After that, he didn't look at Qi Feng again, and walked out of the road.
Qi Feng was thrown in place and stunned for a long time, then he touched his nose and smiled bitterly, Xiao Shao, who has no energy, is really still unhappy in his heart, this is to vent his dissatisfaction like this, don't you feel a little naΓ―ve?
Xiao Shao walked towards the house with his back to Qi Feng, and his heart gradually calmed down. He knew that what Qi Feng said was right, although he was distressed, he should be more respected, and seizing the opportunity created by Jiang Ruan with his own safety and striking a blow to Xuan Li was the best way at present, and it was not to waste her painstaking achievements. She has faith in herself, and he should have faith in her.
It's just that....... Thinking of Qi Feng's words, Xiao Shao's eyes sank again, what did Jiang Ruan do when he was so close to Qi Feng all day long? Qi Feng's kid is uneasy and kind, and it's boring to watch all day long. I don't know where I got into Jiang Ruan's eyes, if you really want to discuss, you can discuss it with Xia Qing, and why are you sure that you will not agree to her idea, she has always been very reasonable.
Xiao Shao had completely forgotten that it was impossible for Xia Qing to come up with any good way with Jiang Ruan. As for him, he will put Jiang Ruan's safety first, and the only one who can look at this matter reasonably in a fair position is Qi Feng. However, Xiao Shao is not a taste of Qi Feng at the moment, and he also feels a little unhappy that Jiang Ruan made this decision privately, and he only secretly decided in his heart that when Jiang Ruan comes back, he will definitely punish him well to cheer up his husband.
