In the corner of the palace, Jiang Dan changed her previous leisurely posture, and became a little anxious, and even the personal palace maids around her saw that she was wrong. She sat down on the chair again, slowly grasping the back of the chair, and the palace maid on the side finally couldn't help but say, "Niangniang is worried about Jiang Shangshu's affairs?" Niangniang and pay attention to her body, Your Majesty will be worried if she knows it. ”

Jiang Ruan's face changed, and he barely squeezed out a smile, and sighed: "I just didn't expect the eldest sister to be so ruthless, and she is also her biological father, how can she be so ruthless." Although Bengong and his father are not very close, it is still a little unbearable to watch him fall into such a situation. As she spoke, she pressed her forehead again as if she were sorrowful.

"Niangniang is too kind-hearted," the palace maid couldn't help but persuade: "It's just that for now, it's better to take care of yourself." ”

Jiang Dan waved his hand, shook his head and said, "This palace knows the way, you go down first." ”

The palace maid glanced at Jiang Dan with concern and retreated, and Jiang Dan was the only one left in the huge hall. She slid her nails against the armrests of the stool for a while, and her face was a little hideous.

Jiang Quan has been sent to prison, I didn't expect Jiang Ruan's ability to be so great, after so many years, he can still come up with evidence, and now it is only Jiang Quan who is involved, but at the beginning, Butterfly also knew that she had worked hard for Xia Yan, why didn't she poke this matter out. Butterfly naturally wouldn't keep it secret for Jiang Dan, in fact, Jiang Dan had already guessed that possibility, that is, Jiang Ruan deliberately suppressed this fact, she already knew that it was she who poisoned her and Zhao Mei in the first place.

As long as he thought of this, Jiang Dan's heart was very empty. Jiang Ruan's methods, she couldn't be clearer. From the daughter of the mountains and fields that no one paid attention to at all at the beginning, to the princess Jinying who no one dares to underestimate now, Jiang Ruan almost swallowed the Shangshu Mansion one bite at a time like a cannibalization, and eradicated the people who opposed her. Jiang Ruan's six relatives don't recognize her, and they have to fight, how can they let her go alone? The reason why there is no movement now must be because there is a back-up move?

The more Jiang Dan thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help biting her lower lip tightly, and after a while, she suddenly ordered her henchman Zhu'er to come in and said, "I have something to tell you." ”

……

At the same time, on the carriage back to the house, Jin San asked Jiang Ruan puzzled: "Since the young lady knows that Jiang Zhaoyi is also the murderer of the lady, why don't you take advantage of the situation and let the butterfly bite her?" is a concubine, as long as it involves the life of the official's wife, it must also be tried, and even His Majesty cannot interfere. Why did the young lady let her go? ”

"I'm not going to let her go." Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "I just don't want to be cheap to her like this." There are too many loopholes in Butterfly's words, and the reason why Jiang Quan was arrested was because Xiao Shao intervened in it, and Jiang Quan's career now seems to have come to an end, and he is not very powerful in the court, and His Majesty will not have too many objections to this. can implicate Jiang Dan, now that she is being favored, if someone with a heart takes this case seriously, it is not difficult to find the suspicious points. Don't forget, butterflies and the so-called evidence are all made by ourselves, and it is impossible to completely reveal the slightest clue about things in the world. ”

Jin San thought for a while before nodding and saying, "Having said that, it seems a pity to give up this opportunity in vain." Does the young lady already have a good solution? ”

"Jiang Dan is suspicious, although he is ruthless, but after so many years, he is still the same cowardly and timid in his bones. She was afraid of the East Window incident, and wanted to come to the palace at the moment. In a hurry, where can I still think about the strangeness of this case, and I should think about how not to be discovered. Jin San, after returning home, you will transfer a few brocade guards to secretly protect Jiang Quan, and before Jiang Quan is sentenced, you can't be killed. Jiang Dan commanded.

Jin San was shocked: "She actually wants to kill people?" As he spoke, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "Such a woman, in order to protect herself, can do such a thing, no wonder she attacked the first lady back then." It's just that the young lady, although she protected Jiang Quan, what will happen after that? ”

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "I don't want to take the initiative, once I take the initiative to do it, I will always expose myself first." Now all I have to do is to lure the snake out of the hole, and the more anxious she is, the easier it is to make mistakes, and I will lure her into action, but the grave that is dug up is buried by herself. She said it gently, but Jin San felt that there seemed to be an indifferent chill, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, and then looked at Jiang Ruanyu with a smile, and she understood that she must be in her chest, so she simply put her mind at ease.

When he returned to Jiang's mansion, unexpectedly, there were some unfamiliar guards at the door of the mansion, although these guards only dressed as ordinary guards in the mansion, Jiang Ruan could see the difference at a glance. She has always been good at observing details, and these guards have a solemn and well-groomed expression, even the brocade guards are not far behind. Jiang Ruan frowned, she had been in the palace for so many years in her previous life, and these people looked a little like the imperial guards.

Seeing her arrival, the guards only nodded and said, "My subordinates have seen the princess." ”

Jin San and Tianzhu's faces changed slightly, but it was Steward Lin who trotted over all the way, and saw that Jiang Ruan was also slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect her to come back so early, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "Young lady, why are you so early?" ”

Pretending not to see the abnormality of these people, Jiang Ruan behaved calmly and said, "I'm a little tired, Steward Lin, I'll go sit in the study, and I'll talk about it when Xiao Shao comes back." ”

At the mention of "study", Steward Lin was another meal. Among the strange guards around, a leading guard suddenly spoke: "Princess, please don't want to go to the study?" ”

Jiang Ruan ignored it, as if he hadn't heard his words at all, and only walked in the direction of the study in the mansion. The head of the guard's face changed, and immediately stopped in front of Jiang Ruan, and said in a deep voice: "Please princess move." ”

Jiang Ruan looked at him quietly, her eyes were calm, as if she didn't have a trace of prayer, so she looked at the person indifferently. The man was finally a little speechless by her gaze, and Jiang Ruan said lightly: "Steward Lin, is this the new guard?" I don't know the rules. ”

"The subordinate is not a new guard." The head of the guard has been walking for many years, and he has never seen any kind of dignitaries and nobles, but some officials still have to give a little thin noodles. It's the first time I've slapped someone in the face so without hesitation. However, although he was a little embarrassed, his temper was okay, and he didn't have a single tendon to reason with Jiang Ruan. His expression is also very humble.

"What's strange here?" Jiang Ruan smiled: "Since he is a guard of the Outer Mansion, he is an outsider, and an outsider still has to meddle in the affairs of the Jinying Palace, no matter how powerful your master is, as long as he is not surnamed Xiao, he will not be able to interfere here." Jiang Ruan said lightly.

The guard was startled, and looked at Jiang Ruan with some inquiry, Jiang Ruan looked at her calmly, and the man was clever in his heart. knew that Jiang Ruan probably understood the identity of the person inside, but even so, how dare she?

Jiang Ruan's heart was cold, she did seem to have guessed the identity of the person inside, although she was puzzled, but it was more of a faint disgust. On weekdays, she would probably just avoid leaving, but now that it is related to the Jinying Palace, she is unhappy. Although the culprit was not that person in her previous life, since then, she has always been very disgusted with the people of this ancestral hall. In this life, if you can avoid it, you can avoid it, but if you don't want to, you still want to get mixed up? But why is he qualified to meddle in other people's lives?

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, but the smile was not soft, with a hint of undoubted strength: "This guard of the outer mansion, can you let it go now?" ”

"This ......" The guard originally wanted to refuse directly, but when he met Jiang Ruan's eyes, he suddenly couldn't say anything. He remembered that the woman in front of him could even sue his biological father in court, and such a woman who didn't take secular etiquette in her eyes was also very arrogant.

"Young lady, please come in." But it was Steward Lin who opened his mouth, and he said: "The palace is your home, you can go wherever you want, how can there be your own family that you can't go to?" The young master is in the study, and the young lady has worked hard today, so the old slave asked the kitchen to send some sweet soup. Steward Lin said with a smile, but the leader of the guards looked at him in disbelief and said, "You ......." ”

"I'll take care of something." Steward Lin was a little impatient: "Besides, what the young lady said is right, the affairs of the Xiao family have nothing to do with you, so it's better for outsiders not to interfere." This is a bit tough and even rude, although Steward Lin is unreliable in Xiao Shao's affairs on weekdays, as a housekeeper, he is still very tactful the rest of the time. Today's ruthless speech is really very special.

The guards behind the leader of the guards were a little angry, as if they were not satisfied with their master being insulted like this, and almost jumped up to theorize, not wanting Jin Tianzhu and the two of them to suddenly block in front of Jiang Ruan, their expressions were slightly vigilant, and they said to Jiang Ruan: "Young lady go over first, the provincial standing here is infected with the wind cold." ”

Everyone in Jinying's palace is well known for protecting her shortcomings, but she didn't expect to be so protective of a princess who had just married in, and the guards had never been treated like this in their lives, so they were very angry for a while. But it is inevitable that it will not be beneficial to do it in the Jinying Palace, and there are countless Jinyi guards here, so they can only look at Jiang Ruan's long and gone figure angrily.

Steward Lin followed Jiang Ruan's side, his expression was cold as he walked, he had always been out of town and cheerful, it was the first time he was so nervous, he said: "Young lady, when you enter the palace, you are a member of the Xiao family, and you are one with the young master." You should also know a little about the affairs of the young master. ”

He had something to say here, Jiang Ruan didn't speak, just waited for Steward Lin to continue, and sure enough, Steward Lin continued: "The young master has not been easy over the years, outsiders can only see his external scenery, but the old slave has seen his appearance from the young master's baby to the present, and the old slave has watched him grow up. The young master is just not used to telling everything, not long after the old prince and the princess had an accident, the young master took over the Jinyi guard, and later went to southern Xinjiang alone. came back alive, but half of his life was gone, and the scars on his body Xia Wu worked tirelessly for three days. ”

"There are many people in this capital who want the life of the young master, some are from southern Xinjiang, some are from the Jin Dynasty, and there are all kinds of people. In order to protect the brocade guard, the young master has suffered a lot over the years. Now that he has married a wife, the old slave is also very pleased. He has such a temperament, he probably doesn't care about anything, and he lives for the mission all his life. Nowadays, it is rare to have something that you want to grasp, and you look like an ordinary young man. Steward Lin looked at Jiang Ruan, and the beard on the corner of his mouth curled: "The young lady is a good girl, when I heard Jin San and a few people say that the young master treats the young lady differently, the old slave knows that only the young lady can help him." Our Jinying Palace, although it is indestructible, has stood in the ups and downs of this Jin Dynasty for so many years, it seems that there is nothing that can knock it down, but there are too many things to bear. Ordinary ladies can't bear it, but young ladies can. ”

As he spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the door of the study, and Steward Lin stopped, looked at Jiang Ruan a little seriously and solemnly, and said, "Young lady, in this world, only you can stand side by side with him." ”

Jiang Ruan followed, the door of the study was not covered, a gap was opened, and there was not a single guard outside, obviously deliberately opening everyone to stop here.

The voice of the person inside clearly reached the ears of the two people, one of them had a thick voice, unusually familiar, with a kind of condescending arrogance that gave orders all year round, but at this moment he was about to be angry, his voice was a little unstable, and he completely lost his usual grace and said heavily: "Don't be obsessed!" What's so good about that woman? The matter of suing her biological father is now known to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, how do the people of the Dajin Dynasty think of her? What do others think of you? I thought that as long as you liked it, as long as she lived in peace, I would endure it. Look at her, setting off such a big storm? Push you to the cusp, where is there still the appearance of a wife! ”

As soon as he came over, he heard the accusation against Jiang Ruan, and Steward Lin was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but turn his head and sneak a glance at Jiang Ruan's expression. Jiang Ruan's expression was calm, and he didn't feel uncomfortable hearing being scolded at all. He didn't even show any surprise when he heard the voice, as if he had already known who the man inside was.

Jiang Ruan listened silently, and the people inside were really the same as she imagined, and they were now saints. At the beginning, when she was just acquainted with Xiao Shao, she felt the difference between the emperor and Xiao Shao, including the Empress Dowager Yide, but it is certain that the attitude of these two people towards Xiao Shao is extremely tolerant. This is also for the reason why even if the old Jinying and his wife are accused of rebellion, Xiao Shao is still safe and sound, and is even trusted by the emperor. Although he didn't know what the reason was, Jiang Ruan could vaguely guess that this was not because the emperor was a generation of Ming monarchs who were meritocracy, and how could he allow others to sleep soundly on the side couch, in fact, no emperor could tolerate the descendants of the rebels to enter the court alive as officials, there must be some reason for this.

Immediately followed by the emperor's angry voice was Xiao Shao's cold voice: "Your Majesty, this is Weichen's housework. ”

"Shut up!" The emperor seemed to have been stabbed by something: "Don't forget what your surname is, you are not surnamed Xiao, you have the blood of the Xuan family in your body, what housework, your housework, is my housework!" ”

Jiang Ruan's eyes widened in shock, Rao is she had never been emotionally exposed, and she couldn't help but lose her mind when she heard this. The words of the people inside were so clear that there was almost no chance of mishearing. She thought of a thousand possibilities, but she never expected it to be so. Xiao Shao, Xuan Shao?

"Why should Your Majesty insist on going your own way," Xiao Shao's tone was indifferent: "Weichen has nothing to do with the royal family, Your Majesty is cautious." His words were also very cold, almost very provocative.

"It's up to you!" The emperor snorted coldly: "I have done so much for you, hiding you in the Jinying Palace's mansion for so many years without restoring your identity and secrets, in order to pave the way. The rivers and mountains of the Great Jin Dynasty will one day be handed over to you, you are the royal man, the future prince of the Great Jin Dynasty! How dare you say that it doesn't matter? ”

Steward Lin buried his head and didn't dare to look at Jiang Ruan's expression, Jiang Ruan clenched his fists and slowly calmed down, yes, Xiao Shao killed Xuanli after the most reckless in his previous life, didn't he also sit on the throne. So that's the case, it turns out that he is the Huang family, and the emperor was going to pass the position to him?

"There is a difference between monarchs and ministers," Xiao Shao was still unmoved: "The country under Your Majesty should be handed over to more talented people." I will not accept His Majesty's arrangement. ”

"You...... Stubborn! The emperor jumped to his feet angrily, suddenly thought of something, and said: "You insisted on refusing to ask for the throne for the sake of that girl?" I've heard that you're spoiling her alone, how can that be? It's just that when you're young and don't know what's at stake, since you really like it, marry it. Now that you are spoiling her, how will you serve the public in the future? The people of the Jin Dynasty don't need an emperor who is only intoxicated with the love of men and women! ”

"I said it a long time ago," it seemed to mention that Jiang Ruan made Xiao Shao a little unhappy, and his tone was aggravated: "I don't agree with your arrangement, Your Majesty should choose another way." ”

Not only was Xiao Shao a little unhappy, but Steward Lin's face was also a little unhappy. What kind of existence Jiang Ruan is now in Jinying Palace, that is a young lady who is recognized by everyone and admired very much. What does it mean for the emperor to beat people to death with a stick like this? Even the emperor can't deny the merits of a person at will. What's more, it is the young lady who everyone agrees to be perfect.

The three people inside and outside the house were unhappy, but Jiang Ruan was the calmest. She doesn't feel sad about this, she has been disgusted by the emperor since ancient times, and she doesn't care about her past and present lives.

"Ah Shao," the emperor suddenly softened his tone, as if admitting defeat, and said weakly, "Have you forgotten your father?" I promised him......"

"Your Majesty," Xiao Shao interrupted him, his tone suddenly sharp: "You also promised my mother." ”

The emperor stopped suddenly.
