093 Enemies meet
"The slave saw Miss Zhao on the edge of Biyan Lake and led people to force Miss Jiang into the lake. After the little eunuch finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor and begged for mercy.
"How can this be reasonable!" the emperor slapped the armrest of the chair and stood up, "Zhao Xueying, I ask you, is what he said true?"
"The emperor spared her life, it was Jiang Zhirong who jumped into the water by herself, not us who forced her. Zhao Xueying panicked all of a sudden, tears fell, and she knelt down with a 'plop'.
"How dare you be so bold and reckless, come and pull her down to the barren mountains. The emperor pointed at her and gave another order, "The county magistrate of Qinghe County is not strict with the goddaughter, and she has handed over the big seal and will never be hired again." ”
"The emperor is angry, you have to take care of the dragon body. Dequan took the lead and knelt down, and in the blink of an eye, except for the emperor and the eighth highness, no one in the hall was standing.
"Don't be angry, this matter is a dereliction of duty in Jing'an supervision, please punish the emperor. Lan Junyao and Tongde all knelt together, their breath was calm, and only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard in the entire hall.
"Father, I think it's because the daughter of the Zhao family doesn't abide by women's morality and bribes the palace, and I hope that my father will be clear. Ling Qixuan's expression was cold, and his face became more and more handsome under the candlelight.
In just a few sentences, the main points have been pointed out. According to the words of the little eunuch, if this matter is investigated, it will inevitably involve a lot. Since the emperor has severely punished the Zhao family, presumably other people will also wake up, and today is another day of great joy.
The emperor pondered for a moment, and the corners of his lips moved slightly, "Yan Ruyu and Jiang Zhirong listen to the order." ”
Hearing this, the second daughter stepped forward and knelt down, "The courtier listens to the order." ”
"Today, there are Yan Ruyu and Jiang Zhirong, who are virtuous and virtuous, and have good appearance, and they are the best for the side concubines. The emperor made the final decision, and the election of the side concubine, which had been busy for several days, came to an end. "Jing'an Xiuyi abides by his duties, rewarding a thousand taels of gold and a string of pearls in the South China Sea. ”
Looking at the rest of the women, their faces were full of frustration. Zhao Xueying had already collapsed in place, allowing the guards to drag her down. After all, the life of the little eunuch was not saved, and the emperor's words determined the fate of many people. Fortunately, these unsuccessful women did not come to this trip in vain, the emperor rewarded them with silver money, and Lan Junyao arranged for someone to send them home.
Yan Ruyu was not surprised by such a result, Jiang Zhirong didn't expect that she could really become one of the concubines, looking at Lan Junyao's face was full of gratitude, if it weren't for her help, I'm afraid she would have become a ghost in Biyan Lake.
Lan Junyao only felt that a fire suddenly rose in his heart, burning himself so hotly that he was full of pain, and there was only one thought in his mind, he was going to marry a concubine. Thinking like this, the last thought in his heart was also extinguished, yes, these two side concubines were personally selected for him.
She felt that she should congratulate him, and squeezed out a smile on her face that was more sad than crying, and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness." I couldn't help but look at him twice, it was a mistake after all.
"Tongxi, Master Xiuyi is tired. Ling Qixuan had the same smile on his face as always, and he should be happy about the three fortunate events in life: when the gold list is inscribed, the night of the candle in the cave room, and the old acquaintance in another country.
According to the custom, before Qin Tianjian elected the auspicious day of the zodiac, these two people should be carefully taught by the grandmother who specializes in teaching in the palace*, the emperor taught this matter to Lan Junyao, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad, he chose a side concubine, and she was busy for him throughout the whole process.
This piece of fat that everyone is looking at is taken into their mouths, and even their families have received a lot of blessings. Naturally, the great benefit they got was to climb the high branch of the Eight Princes.
There has been no happy event in the palace for a long time, and this time it will be lively with Ling Qixuan's family affairs. In the harem, the Yan women ran more frequently to Concubine Mo's palace every day, and it was as lively as usual.
The little eunuch who announced the decree outside the palace also came back, and also brought a message from Jiang Zhirong's mother's family, only saying that Jiang Xiancheng had raised her mother's low position, and now she was on an equal footing with the eldest lady at home.
Lan Junyao has never handled a happy event, and she only feels extremely troublesome about this process, but she would rather be so busy every day and have less effort to think about it.
There are some things that you can't hide if you want to, Lan Junyao is careful not to listen to the news related to him every day, but the things related to him drill into his head everywhere. For example, today's Eighth Prince's mansion was renovated just to welcome the two main wives; for example, the Eighth Prince's suggestion in the palace today was praised by the emperor.
Recently, in the middle of the night, Lan Junyao would always wake up from her sleep, and in her dream she saw a person standing not far in front of her, looking at her sadly, and when she wanted to get closer to see his face, that person would disappear.
Lan Junyao half-leaned on the edge of the bed, sat up in her cloak, took a handkerchief to wipe off the cold sweat on her forehead, and sat for a while, only to feel sleepy. His eyes straightened and he looked into the darkness in front of him.
There was a sycamore tree planted outside the window, and now it had grown to the thickness of two people hugging each other, and the night wind blew the branches and made a rustling sound, and when the wind was a little stronger, the branches crackled on the pane, but she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The feeling was as if she was being targeted by a beast, she pretended to be calm, and quietly touched the dagger stuffed under the pillow in her hand, and threw the quilt covering her body outward, and she had already rolled off the bed.
The man in black at the table had been staring at her with interest, and she woke up shortly after he arrived. I didn't expect her to be so alert, he just walked down a little, and she found out where he was, but it was more fun that way.
Lan Junyao stabbed hard under the quilt, and when she missed, she knew that the other person was no longer far away, so she immediately dodged and spun back, narrowly avoiding the oncoming pair of fists, the fist wind and her hair were intertwined, and she raised the dagger in her hand and fell, and these hairs had been cut off.
"Truly, the little girl hasn't seen her for a few years, and her skills are much better, but today I just passed by and didn't fight. The man in black suddenly spoke, trembling with Lan Junyao while reining his body.
Hearing this voice, Lan Junyao's body shook suddenly, although it has been five years, her memory of the owner of this voice is extremely clear, this person is the murderer who caused her to fall off the cliff five years ago, thinking about it this way, Lan Junyao is not afraid of anger, and the moves in her hand have become more and more powerful, and it seems to outsiders that she is not dying.
After a few moves, the man in black obviously also discovered this, slapped Lan Junyao, and at the same time floated back, "Little girl, leave a line today, and we will meet in the future." Why be so ruthless?" and the voice came from the four corners of the room at the same time, but the man was gone.
Lan Junyao was angry for a while, and hurriedly chased him out of the house, seeing a dark shadow at the door, without saying a word, he attacked him with a dagger in his hand.
