Even after many years, Jingzhuyuan is spotlessly clean.

It was when Princess Yuanrong was fourteen years old and the first emperor carved out a piece of land in the deep palace to repair into a beautiful courtyard and give Princess Yuanrong a gift.

It's just that the garden is still there, but the Si people are gone. Until Princess Yuanrong and other countries, this garden was not completely repaired. It's just that the scenery is still very good - after the death of the first emperor, the Empress Dowager Yide has always sent someone to tidy up this courtyard.

However, although the garden is good, the Empress Dowager Yide has never set foot in it, perhaps because she is afraid of seeing things and thinking about people, arousing the sins and guilt in her heart. So Jingzhuyuan has become a unique existence in the deep palace, which will be renovated day by day, but it is also a deserted garden.

But the desolation of Jingzhu Garden was changed by the arrival of Jiang Ruan, who inherited many privileges that only Princess Yuanrong had, including walking around in Jingzhu Garden at will. I have to say that the emperor must have loved Princess Yuanrong very much, and every scenery of Jingzhu Garden was very exquisite. There is even a library and a study room, a small courtyard for people to rest.

It's just that the princess's palace is still some distance away from Jingzhu Garden, and Jiang Ruan never goes there on weekdays, but only occasionally sets foot in it.

On this day, a palace maid came outside, carrying a small basket in her hand and walking towards Jingzhuyuan. Look at the direction of going to Jingzhuyuan, the basket in his hand is about picking petals. Recently, Jiang Ruan has learned to make perfumes, and often asks the palace maids of the princess palace to go into Jingzhuyuan to cook some flower petals. Along the way, occasionally, the little eunuch and palace maid can help and get some benefits.

Today, the little palace maid was halfway through, but she was suddenly stopped: "Stop!" ”

The palace maid looked back, Xu didn't recognize it, and after looking at it for a long time, she realized that it was none other than the county lord of Heyi.

Lord Heyi walked over quickly, looked at the flower basket in the palace maid's hand, and frowned, "Where are you going?" ”

"In the name of the lord of Hong'an, the slave maid entered the Jingzhu Garden to collect petals." The little palace maid bowed her head and said.

"Oh, Jing Zhuyuan." Lord Heyi looked stunned and said, "So, you can go." ”

The palace maid glanced at the county lord of Heyi in surprise, she didn't expect the county lord who had always been flying and domineering to talk so well today, but it was a good thing for her, so she hurriedly lifted the flower basket and rushed to the county lord of Yi, and then left.

It's just that the palace maid didn't notice that the lord of Heyi County did not leave, but stood in place, fixed looking at the direction she left, and followed quietly all the way, until she saw the palace maid turn a long corridor and enter a manor, and her figure disappeared.

Lord Heyi straightened her dress, and today she was wearing a plain blue brocade robe. For her, who has always loved golden and gorgeous clothes, this is already very simple. There is no fat powder on the face, and the whole person is like two people on weekdays, and at first glance, it is not easy to be recognized.

She straightened her dress, and a strange smile appeared on her face, and then she walked in the direction of the palace maid's departure and walked towards the courtyard.

The courtyard seemed to be unguarded, and the repairs were as beautiful as the rumors, and Lord Heyi couldn't help but have a resentful expression. When she was a child, she overheard the palace people talk about such a Jingzhu Garden, and she had begged the emperor for it, but the emperor, who had always favored her, refused without thinking about it. The lord of Heyi County has a strong temperament, and he has never been here since he knew that Jing Zhuyuan could not be touched, but there was no such place in the palace. Who knew that as soon as Jiang Ruan came, although she didn't get this garden, the Empress Dowager Yide allowed her to come in and walk around. For the county lord of Heyi, isn't it humiliating. The hatred for Jiang Ruan in her heart has deepened, but Jiang Ruan always has to grab whatever she likes and likes.

The garden is very large, full of scenery, I have never been here before, I don't know its scenery, the more I see its beauty, the more I have a heart of possession, I just wish I could enter this garden.

Somehow there was no one guard inside, and I didn't know where the study was. After reluctantly turning around for a long time, until the county lord of Heyi himself was a little impatient, he suddenly saw a huge camphor tree around it, and there was a bamboo building in the distance.

This bamboo building looks brand new, hidden in the trees, indescribably elegant and graceful, it should be the legendary study. It is a pleasant thing to watch the shadows of the trees in this study, taste tea and read books.

The eyes of the county lord of Heyi were splashed with raging anger, and there was an impulse in his heart, eager to burn this bamboo building to the ground. But when he touched the envelope in his sleeve, the anger on his face precipitated and was replaced by a smiling expression.

The contents of the envelope were nothing else, but evidence of Jiang Ruan's treason. Although Concubine Shu promised to give Jiang Ruan an a charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason, so that she would die without a place to be buried, she has not found the right time at the moment. Concubine Shu can wait, but Lord Heyi can't wait. You have to know that if Lu Dao waits any longer, what if the emperor's marriage is given, it will cure Jiang Ruan's sin? I'm afraid that at that time, with Xiao Shao's protection, it will be even more difficult to start.

The people around Lord Heyi are all given by Concubine Shu, and if you let the people around you do it, Concubine Shu will naturally know the way. Concubine Shu is not allowed to do anything at the moment, so she can't alarm Concubine Shu. It's just that the temperament of Lord Heyi has never been a person who can bear it, and he really can't bear it anymore this day, so he secretly stole the "incriminating evidence" from Concubine Shu's house, and wanted to complete this matter by himself.

The evidence of the crime was nothing else, it was Jiang Ruan's correspondence with the people of the Heavenly Jin Kingdom, and the letter called Jiang Ruan very cordial, and faintly mentioned that Jiang Xinzhi was safe, and there was even a seal of the minister of the Heavenly Jin Kingdom on it.

Now that Jiang Xinzhi's army is defeated, he is already in a very dangerous situation, as long as this letter is found, it is naturally an unforgivable crime, and Jiang Xinzhi's crime is almost immediately confirmed, and this crime is added to one degree, Jiang Xinzhi's two brothers and sisters collaborated with the enemy and treason, and did the internal response of the enemy army of the Tianjin Kingdom, and they were the sinners of the Great Jin Dynasty. In this way, the people of the Dajin Dynasty will put Jiang Ruan in prison, and even if Jiang Xinzhi does not die in the future, he will never be able to survive in Dajin.

Such a day when people are chased and killed like a lost dog is the best punishment for Jiang Xinzhi, Jiang Ruan doesn't feel very sorry for her eldest brother, she is going to destroy him.

Lord Heyi thought so proudly, she had already inquired, the princess palace was guarded like an iron bucket, and there was no way to start, but Jing Zhuyuan was extremely easy to start. Jiang Ruan doesn't go in often on weekdays, but she often sends palace maids to pick some petals these days, which is very convenient for her to move. It's just that now her people are afraid that they will alarm Concubine Shu, so they can only do it themselves, and the county lord of Heyi is not afraid, if the matter is revealed, as long as she is not caught, as long as the evidence is not caught, how can she be helpless? Today, I followed this palace maid to Jingzhu Garden, as long as no one put this evidence in the study, and then it happened to be someone who broke the news that Jiang Ruan collaborated with the enemy, as long as I searched in this Jingzhu Garden, the evidence of the crime was in front, how could Jiang Ruan deny it?

The lord of Heyi County thought very well, but he never thought that this bamboo building was so difficult to find, but he still had some hesitation in his heart, how could he give birth to a palace maid and eunuch in Jingzhuyuan and never saw it, at least there were people who were responsible for tidying up on weekdays, but now it is not said that it is a guard, and the people who sweep the courtyard have not seen one.

Along the way, I haven't seen any flowers, didn't Jiang Ruan ask the palace maid to pick petals on weekdays, but there was no flower here, so what did the palace maid with the flower basket do here? Isn't it here to pick leaves?

Lord Heyi faintly felt a little strange and suspected that he was going the wrong way. But the palace maid just now is indeed going here, and it is only a moment of hesitation, and the county lord of Heyi has made up his mind, what if he is wrong? She is the lord of the dignified Jin Dynasty, and in addition to the emperor's bedroom, there is no place in the palace that she dare not go to at will. There are no guards in this place, and it must not be a forbidden place in the deep palace, so if you enter it today, if you don't go up to find out, wouldn't it be a trip for nothing?

The lord of Heyi County has always been arrogant and unwilling to admit defeat, and he has never taken this place into his eyes at all. Besides, if he wants to put Jiang Ruan to death wholeheartedly, where would he put these things in his heart, and people who are carried away by hatred, no matter how shrewd they are on weekdays, they can't think clearly about the pros and cons at this moment.

She lifted her skirt, and Shi Shiran walked to the bamboo building. The bamboo building is very beautifully repaired, and the lord of Heyi County walked up the steps of the bamboo building, and when he walked to the seventh step, he didn't know what the road touched, only to hear the sound of the wind, and a sharp sharp blade jumped out of it. Unexpectedly, there was such a drastic change, and the county lord of Heyi immediately screamed, and before she could react, she heard a familiar voice from the bamboo building: "What person?" ”

"Ben-" Before the two words of the county lord could be spoken, the county lord of Heyi felt a layer of sharp silver light on his face, and then the steps under her feet collapsed, and she planted straight down.

"Bang", a puff of smoke and dust suddenly rose on the ground, and she fell down from the two-story small bamboo building, which was not so life-threatening, but the lord of Heyi County was also a delicate and expensive golden branch and jade leaf on weekdays, and her face turned white, and she didn't know where the bones were broken.

"Ninth Sister." The familiar voice spoke again, stopping in front of the county lord of Heyi, and the county lord of Heyi stared wide-eyed: "Starling, fourth brother." ”

Xuan Li and Xuan Lang stood in front of her, both of them had a look of surprise on their faces, obviously the arrival of Lord Heyi also surprised them.

"Why are you here?" The county lord of Heyi suffered a loss, and he refused to give up, he was extremely angry in his heart, and he was hurt by his leg injury, so he blamed him as usual without thinking about it: "You have harmed me like this, I will tell my father to go." I'm going to tell my father that the two of you hooked up to discuss bad things together, and you want to kill people! ”

The lord of Heyi County has always been open-mouthed, and he is used to buttoning the basin on people's heads when he speaks, and he has not used this kind of words to threaten Xuanhua on weekdays, but he is just a happy mouth. Today, I just want to make Xuanli Xuanlang feel that it is a loss, and it is best to help her deal with Jiang Ruan together.

It's a pity that this time, Lord Heyi made a miscalculation.

When Xuan Li and Xuan Lang heard this, their expressions suddenly changed. Xuan Lang said: "Ninth sister, what are these words? ”

"The fourth brother is still bullying me, I don't know anything, I can't do anything?" Lord Heyi has always looked down on Xuan Lang, and he spoke a little harshly at the moment: "I didn't expect the fourth brother to still be such a ambitious person, why, now that I choose to follow the starling brother, I can't be confident enough?" Hmph, I'm afraid that the fourth brother has long forgotten the time when he begged me and my mother in the past. Fourth brother, you can't forget your roots. ”

Xuan Lang has always been a talentless name, although the virtuous concubine occupies the position of the fourth concubine, in fact, it does not necessarily have much status in the palace, Xuan Lang has angered the envoys of other countries, and at that time, the concubine was the most favored, Xuan Lang personally knelt in front of the concubine and the lord of Heyi for four full hours, before he asked for a good word from the concubine in front of the emperor.

If you say that you don't have the ability to do anything else, the ability to anger others is ten out of ten. probably learned it from Concubine Shu, but Lord Heyi's brain is not as good as Concubine Shu. At this moment, Xuan Lang's face had changed, and Lord Heyi was still chattering.

Xuan Lang had been threatened by Jiang Ruan the day before, and he was frightened in his heart, but at this moment, the words with the county lord of Yi made his emotions hidden in the shadows explode. Looking at the distorted and beautiful face in front of him, Xuan Lang suddenly remembered that many years ago, when he was still a teenager, he was obviously a prince, but he was forced to kneel outside the gate of Shufang Palace, the scorching sun was on his head, and the mother and daughter inside laughed and listened to the conversation and ate the chilled watermelon, ignoring his sweat. The palace maids and eunuchs who came and went were all watching his jokes, and he knew that those people looked down on him.

There are always some women in the world who are like snakes and scorpions, and the shame inflicted on him by the mother and daughter in Shufang Palace suddenly became unbearable. What if he just wants to cling to Xuanli? Since then, there has been a great cause of the country, there is Xuanli's dragon chair, and there is also his acre of land. The great cause is close at hand, what is a little woman?

Xuan Lang suddenly arched his hand at Xuanli and said, "Eighth brother, what we just said, I'm afraid that the ninth sister will listen to it, this is a bad thing." ”

Lord Heyi looked at Xuan Lang's reaction that was different from the past, and a layer of panic suddenly appeared in his heart. However, she has always been able to pretend, and she has never shown half a point on her face.

Xuan Li glanced at Xuan Lang: "Fourth brother, what do you mean?" ”

"The stakes are high, and you must not make a mistake." Xuan Lang said in a low voice: "Dead people are foolproof. ”

"You're crazy Xuanlang!" Lord Heyi's eyes widened in disbelief, if she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she would never have believed that the person in front of her with terrible words would be the incompetent prince who everyone in the palace had rejected. She twisted her body uneasily, her foot injury made her unable to stand up, and she had to use words to threaten: "Xuan Lang, you dare to kill me?" Aren't you afraid that your father will cut off your and your mother's heads? You waste prince, why do you dare-"

It's okay not to say it, as soon as Lord Heyi said this, Xuan Lang's expression became even more gloomy. Turning his head to Xuan Li, he said sincerely: "Eighth brother, please think twice." ”

Xuan Lizi also saw that Xuan Lang was unusual, but he didn't refuse in a hurry, but suddenly laughed: "What the fourth brother said is reasonable, fourth brother, it's better for you to deal with it this time." ”

His smile was like a spring breeze, as if he was chatting about a painting and calligraphy, an ancient inkstone, he was gentle and elegant, but the words he spit out seemed to have a cold chill, and the meaning was chilling.

Xuan Lang was stunned, and he couldn't help but admire Xuan Li's good calculation. Today's matter, it was estimated that Xuan Xuan was also murderous to the county lord of Heyi, but he put it forward, so it was natural for him to make a request. This is a test for him by Xuanli, if the matter is not revealed, he will have one more handle in front of Xuanli from now on, if the matter is revealed, this matter has nothing to do with Xuanli.

Lord Heyi was shocked, and at this moment he really felt scared, and said in a loud voice: "No...... It's not me, I didn't hear anything, don't kill me, I didn't see anything ....... ”

Xuan Lang's eyes narrowed, even if Lord Heyi really didn't hear anything today, but she saw her dark side, and she also knew that she was trying to kill people and kill her mouth, and if she was left alive, there would be one more disaster in the future. And...... Xuan Lang looked at the county lord of Heyi who was prostrate at his feet, and for some reason there was a faint sense of happiness in his heart. It was as if he was enjoying it so much, as if he had suddenly had a dark thought, wanting to look at that beautiful body covered with scars, and his distorted expression would forever freeze in the moment of stiffness, as if then he could regain his lost dignity.

He slowly overflowed a weird smile: "It's good, eighth brother, leave it to me to deal with." ”

"No-" Lord Heyi screamed, panicked and wanted to call for help, but where there are guards in this deserted garden, there are guards, and I am afraid that they will not come to save her. The slender hands grabbed weakly in the air, as if someone had suddenly drained their strength and slowly hung down. A streak of blood splattered down the tip of the sword.

Xuan Lang slowly drew his long sword, and his cowardly and mediocre eyes flashed with an excitement that he had never seen before, which was very strange. It is as if a mouse has glimpsed a delicious delicacies, and it is an abomination for no reason. If someone passed by, they would be surprised, because Xuan Lang's expression at the moment was like another person possessed by a demon. And Xuan Li took a step back slightly, as if he was afraid of being splashed with blood to the corners of his robe, but the expression on his face did not change at all.

The blood slowly soaked in, soaking down the sleeves of the county lord of Heyi, and the "incriminating evidence" in the sleeves was also stained red by bloodstains, and the handwriting gradually dissolved. Lord Heyi's eyes widened, his face was full of disbelief, perhaps he didn't expect that this incompetent prince who had never taken it seriously would eventually kill her. Perhaps she didn't expect that this exquisite garden would become her burial place in the future.

What she saw the last thing was the clean corners of the two people in front of her, which was in stark contrast to her blood-stained and sticky body.

What she heard the last thing was Xuanli's faint inquiry: "How did she find here?" ”
