The way back was much easier than when he went, and after Mr. Baqi detoxified Jiang Ruan, Xiao Shao sent the news back to Beijing with a flying pigeon. On the way, Jiang Ruan also saw the snow pigeon, the raw jade snow is cute, quite smart, and very close to her, it turns out that there is also a name called Huba, which is said to be given by Steward Lin. If it is really in a place like Jinying Palace, where there are more men and fewer women, it is impossible to find a more delicate name.

When he returned to the Jinying Palace, Steward Lin had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Jiang Ruan come back unharmed, he immediately burst into tears happily. The direct religion should immediately go back to open the ancestral hall to comfort the ancestors, and the ancestors of the Xie Lu and Xie Xiao families will bless them.

Dew Drop stayed in the palace because Xiao Shao was in a hurry, and he would only delay his trip, and he had really lost a lot of weight these days. Jiang Ruan got out of the carriage and several maids surrounded him, all asking long and short questions. Dew Zhu smiled: "The girl is good now, there will be a blessing if she doesn't die, and this time she escaped, she should celebrate it." ”

Bai Zhi was worried: "Don't fall into any disease root to be good, after all, it has been toxic for so many years." The girl has nothing to do, and the slave and maid are relieved. ”

"What are you talking about these discouraged people?" Forsythia glared at Bai Zhi: "Now that the girl has come back well, the past is also gone, so be more careful in the future." ”

Tianzhu lowered his head, and his tone was slightly annoyed: "The subordinates did not protect the young lady well, please punish the young lady." "Jin Yiwei has always taken her duties very seriously, and now she is Jiang Ruan's personal secret guard, and she actually let Jiang Ruan be poisoned under her nose, which is not hers.

"What does this have to do with you, you can't prevent it." Jiang Ruan said gently: "It's just that the other party is too cunning, you can't protect it, I was poisoned more than ten years ago." ”

Tianzhu looked at Jiang Ruan in surprise, Jiang Ruan's face was hot and cold, although he would not make things difficult for his maid on weekdays, but his attitude could not be said to be particularly close, especially for her, the maid who came with him halfway, and would not take the initiative to comfort her. Now these words are excusing her, and looking at Jiang Ruan's eyes, the usual anger seems to have dissipated a little, and it has been replaced by a special relief and openness.

I don't know what Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao encountered when they went to Canaan Mountain this time, but it showed this difference. Tianzhu Wu guessed to himself, but still glanced at Xiao Shao. Jiang Ruan understood what she was thinking, and looked at Xiao Shao: "Since you gave me Tianzhu, I always have the right to dispose of her." ”

Xiao Shao nodded, and Jiang Ruan smiled: "Okay, I said, it has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to ask for guilt." ”

Tianzhu glanced at Xiao Shao cautiously, Xiao Shao didn't react in particular, he was a little grateful in his heart, and said, "My subordinates have thanked the young lady, and the young master is lenient." ”

Qi Fengqing coughed twice: "The third sister-in-law still went to the house first, and she was carefully caught in the cold outside, and now she has recovered from a serious illness, and her body is still a little weak." ”

Everyone thought so, and Forsythia and Bai Zhi helped Jiang Ruan into the house. Xiao Shao still had some things to do to enter the palace, and after appeasing Jiang Ruan, he left first.

After Xiao Shao left, Jiang Ruan sat in the house, the room looked a little messy, and Bai Zhi was surprised: "The slaves and maids are worried about the girl's body these days, and they don't have the heart to take care of the house, so they will go and sweep." ”

"Don't be in a hurry," Jiang Ruan said lightly: "I still have some things to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?" Dew said strangely.

"Although the poison in my body is an old disease, in the end, it was caused by someone who used it a few days ago. I know who did it? Jiang Ruan took the hot tea in Forsythia's hand and took a sip.

Tianzhu's expression tightened: "Who is the girl Zhilu Dao?" ”

"Although I don't know who the person who poisoned me personally is in Lu Dao, I know who is the person behind Lu Dao." Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "Since he gave me this big gift, how can I not respond to him." ”

Several maids looked at each other, all of them did not understand the meaning of Jiang Ruan's words. After a while, Luzhu said: "Is this the same person who poisoned the girl more than ten years ago?" And why did you do this to the girl? If it's the eldest lady......" Dew Zhu frowned and said, "Now that the eldest lady is already dead, how can you order someone to poison the girl?" ”

"That person is not Xia Yan," Jiang Ruan looked at the tea leaves in the cup: "This person came for my life many years ago, and now he suddenly repeats his old tricks, just because he feels that I have threatened him again." That person is in the palace, and this account will be collected together with my mother's. She sneered: "Xiao Shao has already gone to decorate, tomorrow morning, I want them to look good!" ”

Forsythia glanced at each other, since Jiang Ruan didn't make his words clear, it was naturally because the person behind it must not be simple, and she also had her own ideas. A few maids have been with her for so long, so they naturally understand her thoughts and won't keep asking. Tianzhu asked, "What does the girl want to tell the slaves to do?" ”

"I have made all the plans, that person is in the palace, and I naturally want to pay tribute to him in the palace. Tomorrow you will follow me into the palace, there are some things, I also want to figure out. She smiled faintly, but there was a chill in her eyes, and she couldn't help but shiver when she looked at the forsythia.

……

In a corner of the palace, Jiang Dan threw the porcelain vase in his hand to the ground fiercely, with a crisp sound, and crystal fragments burst everywhere. The surrounding palace maids didn't dare to come out, and one of them hurriedly knelt down to pick up the pieces, Jiang Dan said angrily: "Get out of the air!" ”

The palace maids were startled and hurriedly retreated. Jiang Dan was the only one left in the huge palace, and her expression was no longer as cute and cute as usual, and she was a little scary. She clenched her fists and clenched her teeth unconsciously.

Even if you are more forbearing, the longer you stay in this place in the palace, the higher you stand, the easier it is for people's true nature to be exposed. And once a person forgets his form, it is very easy to be caught by others. It's just that Jiang Dan is still relatively sober even now, so he still remembers to drive all the palace maids out of Lu before being discovered. She has always been careful.

Jiang Ruan not only appeared safe and sound, but also appeared in the carriage outside King Jinying's mansion, and when this news reached her ears, Jiang Dan's hands were trembling. A few days ago, no matter what, I couldn't find out about Jiang Ruan, the Jinying Palace's mansion was so solid that not even a fly could fly, and Jiang Ruan had just had an accident, and she didn't dare to be caught by someone at this juncture to commit a crime. originally thought that there had been no news from Jiang Ruan for so long, but who knew that Jiang Ruan would take the carriage back to the Jinying Mansion with such a swagger, and she didn't even know when Jiang Ruan would leave.

didn't expect Jiang Ruan to be so fateful, but Jiang Dan felt more panicked. This matter was originally poisoned, and since Jiang Ruan's body was already well, he would definitely know that the poison in Lu Dao's youth existed in his body, and if he really investigated it, he would find out about her sooner or later. Jiang Ruan has such a vicious temperament, looking at the fate of Xia Yan's family, he knows that it is impossible to stop easily. Once she finds out about her relationship in it, Jiang Ruan will not spare it.

Every time he thought about this, Jiang Dan felt a panic in his heart. She thought of the man in gray, and couldn't help but complain secretly in her heart, Jiang Ruan, who said that he was good, had great ability, and this time he was also in a catastrophe, and he didn't want to get out of the basket in the end. After thinking about it, she walked to the table to the side, picked up the pen from the jade tube, and made a gesture to write to someone else.

is also in the palace, but there are people whose mood is completely different from Jiang Dan. In Nanyuan, Xiao Shaofang walked into the hall, and the delicate young man stepped forward, but he was not polite, grabbed his sleeve, and said, "She's back?" ”

"It's in the house." Xiao Shao quietly pulled out his sleeve: "Does the Thirteenth Prince plan to visit my wife?" ”

A courtier, calling himself "I" in front of the prince, Xiao Shao is really bold enough. It's just that His Royal Highness didn't have the consciousness of being bullied at all, and a trace of obvious joy crossed his face: "Okay, when will you leave?" ”

In the past ten days, Xuan Pei has spent many years in the palace, and what he thinks about most every day is Jiang Ruan's illness, and even when the emperor comes to ask him about his homework again, he is absent-minded and answers many questions incorrectly. Even Liu Min saw that he had something on his mind, but Xuan Pei naturally wouldn't tell outsiders the reason. With such a lot of worries, Jiang Ruan was sick in bed, but he lost a lot of weight. Later, he received a message from Xiao Shao, only saying that Jiang Ruan's poison had been resolved, and Xuan Pei fell a stone in his heart. But Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao didn't mean to come back for a long time, which made Xuan Pei very angry, and he didn't know how many times Xiao Shao had scolded, and finally brought Jiang Ruan back to Beijing.

"No one can take the prince away at will, His Royal Highness wants to visit the cold house, and he will come out by himself." Xiao Shao said lightly.

Such a blatant bully, Xuan Pei was stunned for a moment, and then became angry: "You are so unreasonable, you treat me like this and tell her ......." ”

"How?" Xiao Shao looked at him, obviously without a special expression, but his eyes were full of pressure.

Xuan Pei was speechless, he was stunned for a while, and after reacting, he felt very embarrassed to be calmed by the other party's eyes, and shouted in anger: "She must be the master for me!" ”

Xuan Pei has always been calm beyond his age in the palace, and sometimes it is not an exaggeration to say that he is more like an adult than an adult. Especially now that the emperor is more and more valued, people have hardly seen Xuan Pei when he is childish. Now that Xiao Shao is jumping his feet, he has a bit of rare vitality at this age.

"She's my wife, why should she help you?" Xiao Shao continued.

"She's still my ......" Xuan Pei was about to finish speaking, when he suddenly paused, raised his head and looked at Xiao Shao vigilantly, but there seemed to be a huge wave in his heart. This man is so scheming, just a few words almost reveal his secret. Xiao Shao seems to be cold and indifferent to everything, but in fact he has a very good ability to observe. He knew that mentioning Jiang Ruan Xuanpei would cause him to be emotionally disturbed, and he also knew what words to use to arouse Xuanpei's emotions. That's how I said it. Xuan Pei's heart that had just been provoked by the medicine competition slowly calmed down, looked at Xiao Shao, and suddenly smiled and said, "Lord Xiao, you are really bullying the weak by doing this." ”

There was full sarcasm in his words, but Xiao Shao didn't blink an eye, and said lightly: "His Royal Highness Thirteen is not weak. ”

Xuan Pei swallowed his saliva, who said that King Jinying is a cold-faced saint who does not eat fireworks in the world, once this person is bad, it is really bad. can poke people's pain everywhere, and after a deep breath, Xuan Peicai said: "I know what you want to know, but I don't need to tell you." Although you and her are husband and wife, but ......" Xuan Pei smiled maliciously: "I think it shouldn't be a real husband and wife." ”

"His Highness the Thirteenth is too lenient," Xiao Shao reminded, "that day will always come." ”

Xuan Pei was unexpectedly choked by his words, and glanced at Xiao Shao a little strangely, as if he was looking to see if the person in front of him was the same person as someone else's mouth. After a while, he shook his head and said, "No matter what, she and you don't have nothing to talk about now." The thing you want to know is a secret, and this secret is related to me and her. If you are really good for her, you want me to go out of the palace, I want to see her, and there are some things I have to explain to her face to face. After that, if she truly trusts you, she will tell you. But I am under no obligation to tell you. ”

Xiao Shao looked at him silently, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Seeing him agree so readily, Xuan Pei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looked at him solemnly and said, "You saved her life before, no matter what, I should thank you for her." No matter what happens, I have the same purpose as you, and you and I will not hurt her. This is the first time that Xuan Pei has sincerely surrendered to Xiao Shao, or because Xiao Shao thought of curing the poison on Jiang Ruan's body, Xuan Pei is grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Shao glanced at him: "I saved my wife, what does it have to do with you, I don't need to thank you." ”

Xuan Pei: "......"

……

Jiang Ruan returned to Jinying's palace for only half an hour, and Jiang Xinzhi, who received the news, rushed back from the barracks, and pulled Jiang Ruan to talk about a bunch of things that needed to be paid attention to when he was sick. If it weren't for the fact that his eldest brother was born in martial arts, Jiang Ruan would have wondered if Jiang Xinzhi was going to change his career to become a doctor. She didn't tell the General's Mansion about her poisoning, and she kept the news of the General's Mansion secret, if Zhao Guangzhi said that someone had attacked their mother and son more than ten years ago, I was afraid that she would immediately go to Shangshu Mansion to make a big deal. But now is not the time.

When Jiang Xinzhi mentioned this matter, he was still angry, and only said: "What the hell is going on?" Xiao Shao didn't tell me who was going to poison you, and you didn't plan to tell me either? ”

Bai Zhi sent some plum blossom honey syrup, Jiang Ruan pushed a cup in front of Jiang Xinzhi's eyes, and comforted: "I know who that person is, but now I just don't want to startle the snake." Big brother and relieved, I will settle this matter tomorrow morning, and this matter will not be difficult for me. With Xiao Shao's help, what will happen in the end. My eldest brother also knows what kind of person I am, and there is no reason why I have been calculated in vain. ”

"Ah Ruan, I'm your brother." Jiang Xinzhi was sullen: "You'd rather tell Xiao Shao than tell me, you think your brother is useless, so you don't want to tell your brother about this matter and let your brother handle it?" Jiang Xinzhi felt a little aggrieved in his heart, this girl was really not his own sister if she married someone. Jiang Ruan treated him very intimately at the beginning, he said: "When you were a child, you were bullied by others, and it was your brother who helped you out, why don'......t you remember it now." ”

Jiang Ruan helplessly held his forehead: "Big brother, what are you talking about." It has nothing to do with me that I think you're useless. I'll tell you about it, but isn't it now, you can't even wait a night? Besides, I don't let you interfere because you are in the wrong position now, you are a general, and meddling in these things will always attract tongues. Xiao Shao is different, the brocade guards under him are different from the soldiers, they are already doing things in secret, and they are also easy to use. He is my husband, and his people are my people, big brother, you don't like him, are you dissatisfied with me? ”

Jiang Xinzhi was speechless and said, "How can I be dissatisfied with you." I have won this fame now to let you not be bullied, if you take this fame, you will be afraid of being said, even for you to think about it, what is the point of climbing high? Seeing Jiang Ruan's slightly stunned appearance, Jiang Xin's heart softened, she was afraid that she would want to provoke her body that was recovering from a serious illness, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, whatever you say, I don't care." Tomorrow you must find out that man for me, and if you dare to attack you, I will have to abolish him with my own hands! ”

Jiang Ruan smiled, Jiang Xinzhi looked at her, suddenly sighed, and said, "Although I don't know what Lu Dao is for, this time you went to Xiao Shao's master's gate, and the person seemed much more cheerful." I think it's all Xiao Shao's credit. ”

Jiang Ruan was stunned: "Why did the eldest brother say that?" ”

"You're my sister, I know you." Jiang Xinzhi shook his head: "In the past, I always felt that you had something in your heart, even if you were married. But when I came back this time, I felt that my personality had changed a lot. I didn't like Xiao Shao before, I thought he was too cold and couldn't take good care of you. Jiang Xinzhi paused: "But now it seems that he treats you well." I just said, Ah Ruan, you are so good, how can there be people in the world who don't like you. Xiao Shao's vision is not bad, you treat him now...... It's not the alliance you mentioned earlier. ”

Is she so obvious? Jiang Ruan's heart was stunned, and then he laughed: "Big brother doesn't like me like this?" ”

"No, I'm happy." Jiang Xinzhi smiled slightly: "If there is someone in the world who makes you happy, no matter who it is, I will be happy for you." Jiang Xinzhi reached out and touched her head: "As long as you are good, this is enough." ”

The brother and sister said something again, Jiang Xinzhi didn't dare to talk to Jiang Ruan for too long for fear of affecting her rest, so he got up and left after a while, and when he left, he carefully instructed Forsythia to come to the palace to see her tomorrow. After Jiang Xinzhi left, Jiang Ruan rested for a while, it was getting late, after drinking medicine, Jiang Ruan looked at the account book in the house for a while, and he didn't have time to read the account book in the Canaan Mountain Mansion, but there was nothing else to do at the moment, so Jiang Ruan flipped through it.

Bai Zhi came over and persuaded: "It's getting late, the girl should go to bed early to rest, and it's not too late to read this account book later." ”

"That's right," Dew Drop blinked narrowly: "Uncle is still waiting in the bedroom, the girl has been in the study, carefully catching a cold, Uncle is going to find trouble with the slaves and maids again." ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao seem to have become a little different this time, the relationship between the two has improved, and the people are happy to see it. The dew drops even changed their ways to make a pile of two people.

Forsythia flicked the dew on her forehead: "Little hoof, the girl's words are also something you can joke at will, it seems that the girl treats you too well, and she is becoming more and more lawless." She looked at Jiang Ruan with a smile: "But what she said is also pertinent, the girl's body can't withstand the toss now, so it's better to rest early, so as not to distress my uncle." ”

Jiang Ruan looked at his own maids playing, and suddenly remembered the scene in his dream when he was poisoned and unconscious, these maids had not been able to meet them in their previous lives, and suddenly let out a long sigh: "How many years have you been with me?" ”

Forsythia was stunned, no one expected why Jiang Ruan would suddenly say this. Forsythia and Bai Zhi glanced at each other and said, "The slave maid and Bai Zhi have been with the girl since childhood, and now it has been about sixteen years. ”

Dew Zhu blinked: "The slave maid has followed the girl from the Zhuangzi for about six years. ”

"The subordinate has followed the young lady for two years." Tianzhu said softly.

"It's been all these years." Jiang Ruan said in a low voice.

"Girl......" Bai Zhi said worriedly.

Jiang Ruan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a little feeling, you have been with me for so many years, but you don't seem to be doing well. ”

What she said was inexplicable, and Dew Drop hurriedly said: "Girl, don't say that, it's a blessing for slaves and maids to be able to follow such a compassionate person as the girl, the girl treats the slaves and maids very well, and the slaves and maids have never felt sorry." ”

Forsythia was also busy following, Jiang Ruan smiled: "It's okay, I'll rest first, you guys go to bed early, and you will enter the palace early tomorrow morning." As he spoke, he stood up, Tianzhu hurriedly put on her coat, and Jiang Ruan walked out of the study door and entered the bedroom.

The sky had sunk, and the palace of King Jinying fell into silence, and there was no sound at night, as if it was peaceful and tight. In the middle of the night, light snow began to fall, and the ground was wet and cold, and the slightest inadvertent step on it would make it slippery.

In such a dark night, an inconspicuous figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard, as if he got up in the middle of the night to go to the thatched house, but when he passed the outermost outer wall, he seemed to inadvertently squat down and flick his head into it somewhere at the base of the wall.

At this moment, suddenly his eyes lit up, and several torches suddenly appeared in the dark night in front of him, shining brightly on the person, who was startled, and hurriedly squatted down to cover his face with his hands, lowering his head and refusing to let people see his face.

A voice sounded extremely clearly in the night: "Young lady, catch it!" There really are thieves! ”

Another said, "Hey, look up, who the hell is this man?" ”

The man's body shuddered, and his head was buried lower. It was a turtle in an urn, behind the guards, Jiang Ruan slowly walked out from behind, she was holding a torch in her hand, the firelight reflected her face cold and beautiful, but there was a faint compassion in her eyes, and a trace of imperceptible disappointment.
