Xiao Shaofang came out of the palace, and as soon as he turned over and got on his horse, he saw Jin Er fall in front of him, and his always cynical face had a little seriousness: "Oh no, master, Miss Jiang has been arrested and sent to prison." ”

Xiao Shao's eyes sank: "What's the matter?" ”

"The fourth prince and a few palace maids saw Miss Jiang kill the county lord of Heyi, and then someone came, the evidence is conclusive, Concubine Shu is furious, and now she is begging the emperor to call the shots. The queen had no choice but to order the people from the Criminal Department to lock up Miss Jiang first. ”

"When?" Xiao Shao frowned and asked.

"It's noon." Nishiki Road. Xiao Shao was doing other things in the palace, he didn't just come out of the palace, it had been three hours since Jiang Ruan was arrested, and he didn't know what the situation was now. This time it is much more anxious than in the past, and the lord of Heyi is the emperor's favorite little daughter, although she is more stubborn on weekdays, the father-daughter relationship is really unchanged there. Jiang Ruan killed the county lord of Heyi, which was enough to make the emperor angry and dispose of Jiang Ruan.

Xiao Shao turned his horse's head: "Go to the Criminal Department to have a look." Before he could raise his whip, another voice was heard: "Master! ”

Jin San hurriedly came from outside, glanced around, and said in a low voice, "Tianzhu wants to see you." ”

Tianzhu is Jiang Ruan's personal maid, Jin Er and Jin San glanced at each other, Jiang Ruan's temperament is also clear to them on weekdays, the Lord who refuses to suffer losses, it is inevitable that he did not expect today's situation, maybe he did it on purpose, Tianzhu came to visit at this moment, maybe he was to send a message to Jiang Ruan.

Xiao Shao thought for a moment before saying, "Let her come to Yibao Pavilion." ”

There are many people outside, Tianzhu is Jiang Ruan's maid after all, if it falls into the eyes of people with intentions, it is inevitable to make a fuss about this matter. I can also go to Yi Bao Pavilion to inquire about some news.

Jinsan was ordered to leave.

But with a stick of incense, Xiao Shao sat in the dark room of Yi Bao Pavilion, and Tianzhu leaned over and knelt on the ground: "Master." ”

"What did she say?" Xiao Shao asked.

"The girl didn't say anything." Tianzhu Road.

Xiao Shao's dark eyes flashed with a strange light, pursed his lips, and lowered his eyes silently. Jin Er and Jin San on the side were taken aback, thinking that Jiang Ruan had asked Tianzhu to bring a letter, but they didn't say anything they meant. Jiang Ruan didn't have anything to say to Tianzhu to Xiao Shao?

"The girl had expected this to come." Tianzhu didn't wait for Xiao Shao to ask, so he said to himself: "The death of the county lord of Heyi was also arranged by the girl, but the county lord of Heyi was not killed by the girl. There is another person who killed the lord of Heyi, and today someone slandered her. The girl had already made arrangements, and she had already asked her subordinates to hand over a letter to the national teacher Huijue, which should be left behind, and the master didn't have to worry too much. ”

Xiao Shao pondered for a while and said, "You tell me everything that happened in the past few days." ”

"But the master wants to help the girl?" Tianzhu raised his head and asked.

Xiao Shao glanced at her and said, "Yes." ”

"Master, no." Tianzhu spoke: "The girl has already made up her mind about this matter, and the master had better not interfere in this matter." ”

Jin Er and Jin San both frowned, for a Jin Yiwei, meddling in the master's decision is a taboo, Tianzhu's behavior is very excessive, and it can even be regarded as disrespect for Xiao Shao. Tianzhu was trained by Xiao Shao since he was a child, and his loyalty is needless to mention, and now such an attitude makes them a little surprised as colleagues.

"She is from my Jinying Palace, I will not stand idly by, and I will not let her be bullied by anyone." Xiao Shao said lightly, but there was already a chill in his tone.

"Back to the master," Tianzhu didn't hear Xiao Shao's tone, hesitated for a short time but continued: "The master thinks that the girl has no way to solve such a thing?" The subordinates said something that should not be said, now the day when the master leaves Beijing is imminent, and the master can still protect the girl in the capital, but after the master leaves Beijing, is it difficult to think that all the guns and arrows will disappear? Even if the master protects the girl in the Jinying Palace, it may not be all right, and now the people who are staring at the Jinying Mansion are like carp crossing the river, where can the girl's life be easy? ”

"You mean, this king doesn't even have the ability to protect her?" Xiao Shao narrowed his eyes, but this time he spoke much slower, but the chill he carried was much heavier than that of Fang Cai. Jin Er and Jin San were busy glancing at Tianzhu, Xiao Shao was already in a bad mood at the moment, didn't Tianzhu's words hit the musket by himself?

Tianzhu ignored Jin Er and Jin San's hints, and continued: "Does the master want to stand by his side is a handless lady who has to rely on the master's protection? If this is the case, Jinying Wangfu is afraid that it will not be able to raise such delicate flowers, what the palace needs is a woman who stands tall in the wind and rain, not an embroidered pillow! ”

Jin Er and Jin San opened their mouths, Jin San closed his eyes helplessly, although Tianzhu was loyal in Jinyi Wei in the past, he was actually a stubborn person, and the things he recognized would never change. When I looked at the appearance today, I was determined to make Xiao Shao angry, but now I am happy for a while, and I am not sure what punishment he will receive in the future. Could it be that he has stayed with the young lady for too long, and his courage has become lawless?

"These days, my subordinates follow the girl, and my subordinates can see clearly that the girl is by no means a delicate woman who needs to be protected, she is stronger than any woman her subordinates have ever seen. The master also knew in her heart that the girl didn't like to have others solve everything for her, especially ...... To deal with the enemy, the girl likes to solve it with her own hands. ”

Xiao Shao lowered his eyes and looked at his sleeve thoughtfully. What kind of character is Jiang Ruan, there is an almost crazy obsession in revenge, he knows this deeply, Jiang Ruan does not like others to meddle in these things, and he also knows that Tianzhu is not lying.

"The girl has already arranged and planned, the person who suffers this time must not be the girl but the other party, if the master really likes the girl, it should not be anyone who controls it for her, and the girl is not a person who is willing to be controlled. If the girl wants to deal with the county lord of Heyi in person, as well as the people behind the county lord of Heyi, the master wants the girl to be the future young lady of the Jinying Palace, so she should learn to be perfect. ”

Tianzhu said: "The subordinates dared to guess the girl's thoughts, begged the master not to meddle in this matter, and begged the master to punish him." ”

Xiao Shao looked at the person kneeling below, raised his eyebrows, and was silent for a long time before saying, "You get up." ”

Jin Er and Jin San were suppressed for the third time today, Tianzhu crossed like this, but Xiao Shao didn't even have the slightest anger, and compared to the bad mood before, it seemed much calmer at the moment. Could it be that the master actually likes to be yelled at?

Tianzhu paused, stood up, still lowered his head, and only listened to Xiao Shao say: "Return the waist card to Ye Feng." ”

"Master!" Tianzhu cried out in a lost voice. Jin Yiwei's waist card was returned to Ye Feng, which means that he will be removed from Jinyi Wei from now on, and it will never be possible to return to Jin Yiwei.

Jin Er and Jin San also froze in place, originally thinking that Xiao Shao was not angry, but it turned out that he was wrong, Xiao Shao was not only angry, but also very angry this time.

Xiao Shao looked at Tianzhu, who looked frustrated and surprised, and said lightly: "Your loyalty is no longer here, according to the convention, you must hand over your waist card." After a pause, he said: "From now on, you only have Jiang Ruan as a master, protect her well." ”

Tianzhu was stunned and looked up at Xiao Shao, but found that Xiao Shao's expression was not angry, nor even the indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away on weekdays, but a kind of entrustment, another kind of trust and equal respect.

He handed over the person he valued in his heart to her, which was not an instruction from his master to his subordinates, but an exchange made in an equal capacity, a kind of trust side by side.

Tianzhu's eyes were hot, and he was almost about to burst into tears. She has been in the Jinyi Guard since she was a child, and Xiao Shao is the person she respects in her heart and is her master. Jin Yiwei gave her a second life, she thought that she would be loyal to Jin Yiwei for the rest of her life, and shed the last drop of blood for Jin Yiwei, but she didn't expect that one day, Xiao Shao would take back her waist card.

She left Jinyiwei, left her most respected master, and went to protect the woman her master liked, that woman also had a tenacious heart and iron-blooded wrists like her master, so although Tianzhu was sad in her heart, she would not be sad for too long. Because, she deserves it.

She lowered her head, knelt down again, kowtowed respectfully to Xiao Shao three times, and said loudly: "My subordinates, thank you for the grace of the young master's cultivation." ”

Xiao Shao's expression seemed to be slightly touched, and he said in a low voice: "Thank you." ”

Thank you for choosing to follow her.

……

The matter of Jiang Ruan being imprisoned naturally did not only reach Xiao Shao's ears, but also when it reached Xuan Li's ears, Xuan Li's face was even more ugly than Xiao Shao's.

"Disgusting?" He chewed these two words in a low voice, and a wordless anger suddenly appeared in his chest, and when he slapped the table, the teapot on the table fell to the ground by such a heavy shock, shattering into countless pieces, and the guards hidden in the room did not dare to make a sound, Xuan Li's expression at this moment was too terrifying.

The gentle and lotus-like smile on the face of the Eighth Highness, who had always been gentle, had long since disappeared, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched slightly from anger, showing a bit of strange distortion.

How dare she! How dare she do that!

In this way, even if she was imprisoned, she didn't want to marry him, and she said the word disgusting. Xuan Li admitted that he had not done anything to be sorry for Jiang Ruan, and there was only one reason why Jiang Ruan treated him so harshly, and that was Xiao Shao.

In the matter of men and women, Xuanli has always been invincible and has never met any opponents. For women, in his eyes they are just stupid. Jiang Ruan didn't have much to do with him, but every time he saw her, he would have a strange feeling in his heart. It's as if this woman belongs to him. This kind of possessiveness was all stimulated when Jiang Ruan chose Xiao Shao, and was even willing to do this for Xiao Shao, which reminded Xuanli of the past many years ago.

At the beginning, on Canaan Mountain, Mr. Baqi's disciples had received ten disciples, and Xiao Shao was the third disciple accepted by Mr. Baqi, ranking third, for the third senior brother, he ranked eighth, and he wanted to respect Xiao Shao's senior brother. Xuanli has been smart since he was a child, and among the emperor's sons, he has made outstanding achievements. At a young age, he already had an excellent reputation in the court, and the people also supported him, and he was good everywhere. Those who are accustomed to being the first have hit a wall on Mount Canaan.

Mr. Baqi does not restrict his disciples from choosing what to practice, when Xiao Shao worshiped the master, there was no accident in the Jinying Palace, he had a light temperament, and there was nothing particularly interesting, so Mr. Baqi taught him a little bit of everything, all relying on his creation. However, even after only teaching a little, Xiao Shao's comprehension ability is amazing, and he has learned everything perfectly. All the brothers and sisters in Canaan Mountain admired Xiao Shao, but Xiao Shao was still a very arrogant person in his heart, and these mundane things didn't seem to be in his eyes.

After Xuanli was unwilling to succumb to others since he was a child, his daily hard practice could not withstand Xiao Shao's gentle glance, young people are always competitive, and Xiao Shao always looked very cold to others, and over time, Xuan Shao was finally dissatisfied. He didn't understand what he had to work so hard to get, Xiao Shao got it without much effort.

Later, there was an accident in Jinying's palace, and Xuanli was very happy in his heart, but when there was an accident in Jinying's palace, Xiao Shao was named a rebellious minister and thief, and the emperor took him seriously. Xiao Shao can speak bluntly in front of the emperor, and he doesn't even have to guess the emperor's mind like him. Xiao Shao's subordinates are in charge of 300,000 brocade guards, Xuan Li is afraid of him, and he doesn't dare to express anything anymore, for so many years, the calm he and Xiao Shao have maintained on the surface seem to have been broken by Jiang Ruan overnight. Only then did Xuan Li find that the resentment and jealousy towards Xiao Shao in his heart had never changed for so many years.

"What's going on over there Xiao Shao?" Taking a deep breath, Xuan Li calmed down and asked.

"Back to His Royal Highness, Lord Xiao didn't do anything." The man at the bottom replied.

There was such a big thing, I am afraid that the whole capital will spread all over at this time, Xiao Shao did not move, and it seems that Jiang Ruan's thoughts are not heavy. Xuan Xuan sneered, Xiao Shao's eyes were above the top, he was very cold when he was on Canaan Mountain, ordinary women were infatuated with him, but they didn't know that Xiao Shao himself was a heartless person. Jiang Ruan, that stupid woman, since she rejected him for Xiao Shao's sake, she might as well let her see how ruthless and ruthless Xiao Shao was. Not to mention...... Xuanli suddenly smiled lightly, Xiao Shao wanted to ask the emperor for marriage, and the civil and military officials had also heard of it, the last moment he was still asking the emperor for marriage, and the next moment his sweetheart was in prison but he didn't care, Xiao Shao was a chaotic minister and thief in the hearts of the courtiers, and his reputation was about to plummet.

may also dislike the Empress Dowager Yide because of this, although the Empress Dowager Yide doesn't care about the affairs of the court, it does not mean that she has no weight in the court. Sometimes, the attitude of the Empress Dowager Yide can even determine the future career of a courtier.

Xiao Shao will suffer so much loss because of this matter, Xuan Li thought about this, how not to be happy, in just a moment, Fang Cai's displeasure was swept away. He said loudly: "You go and send someone to continue to keep an eye on the Jinying Palace, to see if Xiao Shao has any movements." ”

"Yes." The subordinate took the order to leave, leaned back on the seat, played with the wrench in his hand, and laughed slowly.

……

Seeing the wind and making the rudder has been human nature since ancient times, and it is especially obvious in Shangshufu.

Ruan Curry's mother-in-law and son-in-law were all panicked, and as soon as the news of Jiang Ruan's imprisonment came, the sensitive-minded one had already turned against him, abandoning the old master and turning to the new one.

However, in just half a year, Jiang Ruan has been imprisoned for the second time, before the death of Mrs. Jiang, but it has not been transferred to the Criminal Department, and there are many doubts at that time. Now the deceased person has become the lord of Heyi, which is related to the royal matter, and the case is directly submitted to the criminal department for trial. The most important thing is that there is an important witness in this case, the fourth prince Xuan Lang.

If the murder is seen by others, there is a chance that there is no way to run away from the crime. Especially since this is still the prince of a country, almost everyone thinks that Jiang Ruan will not have the same good luck as last time, and the prosperous future of Jiang Xinzhi's two brothers and sisters will end here. The Jiang Mansion still couldn't accommodate them in the end.

In the courtyard, Hongying is lying on a soft chair with her stomach basking in the sun, the sun in the autumn afternoon is just right, not too hot and not too cold, there are some exquisite pastries on the table, that is, the tea is Jiang Quan specially ordered people to mix the tea for the body. The day of childbirth is approaching, and the house can be said to have great respect for the red tassel.

Sitting across the table was Jiang Dan, who carefully twisted a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth, took a bite lightly, and said with a smile: "This cake is well made." ”

"The cook that the master invited from outside." Hongying said indifferently: "The fourth lady will go to the palace in a few days, the pastries in this house are ugly, don't dislike it." ”

"Where is the aunt," Jiang Dan smiled humbly: "The palace is not as easy to live as it seems, and it looks like the eldest sister has an accident in the palace." Her expression darkened: "I still expect to be taken care of by my eldest sister when I enter the palace, and I don't want such a thing to happen." ”

"The world is impermanent." Hongying sighed and looked at Jiang Dan: "But the fourth young lady is blessed when she looks at it, this time she should be able to get the favor of the saint when she enters the palace, and the glory of the Jiang Mansion will be tied to you in the future." Maybe the eldest lady won't have the future scenery of the fourth lady. ”

"Auntie, don't make fun of me." Jiang Dan lowered his head, but a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he asked as if unintentionally: "But now that the eldest sister is in prison, what good way can my father think of to save the eldest sister?" ”

"Method, what good way can there be." Hongying picked up the plugboard in front of her and took a sip unhurriedly, before saying, "If such a big thing happens, if you are not careful, it will affect the house." The eldest lady made a mistake this time is really a big basket, your father is already angry, and he has discussed with your second brother for a long time and has not come up with a solution. Now the lady concubine in the palace is furious, and His Majesty has also lost the lord of Heyi, the eldest lady is in a catastrophe this time, even if your father goes to intercede, wouldn't it be worse? ”

Jiang Dan paused his fingers on the pastry slightly, and changed his worried expression: "What does my father mean is to leave it alone?" ”

"The master is also weak." Hongying looked at her fingertips that had been coated with Koudan: "The eldest lady is from the Jiang Mansion, so she naturally knows when to make sacrifices, and she can't ignore the names of the entire mansion for her alone." ”
