Chapter 5: Men
"Yes, the war has been won, so let's have a good reunion between your father and daughter." The emperor patted Jiang Moxi on the shoulder heartily, and anyone could see that he was now happy.
"By the way, the prince told me about the matter a few days ago, you were wronged on the day of the courtship, and the people in the second room of the Jiang family categorically couldn't spare it, and they even wanted to let the daughter of the second room marry the prince instead of you."
The emperor was in a good mood and suddenly remembered this, and snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers also asked the emperor to punish Jiang Sheng lightly, although the second uncle is at fault, but he is also his father's sibling, it doesn't matter if the courtiers are wronged, if the father and the second uncle are angry because of this matter, then the courtiers don't know what to do."
Jiang Moxi knelt on the ground with a plop of eyes, as if he was pleading earnestly for Jiang Sheng.
Of course, she wouldn't think about saving Jiang Sheng back, but if she took the initiative to intercede for Jiang Sheng, the emperor would definitely feel guilty about her, and then she would mention the matter of not marrying the prince.
"You're a kind-hearted person, but being too soft-hearted will hurt you." The Ninety-Five Venerable stood with his head bowed, and he couldn't hear what he was thinking in his words, just when Jiang Moxi's heart began to sink slowly, the emperor sighed and smiled, "That's it, since you don't care about it, then it's not good for me to punish too harshly." ”
"As for your marriage to the crown prince, if you want, I will choose another auspicious day for you to marry."
"Thank you for the emperor's magnanimity and forgiveness of the second uncle, but the courtiers also have their hearts, and they really don't want to delay His Royal Highness the Prince, and I hope that the emperor will fulfill it." After finishing speaking, Jiang Moxi leaned over and kowtowed heavily to the emperor to show that he really didn't want to marry the crown prince, but he only had other preferences.
But fortunately, the emperor is not unreasonable, and he waved his hand to agree to what Jiang Moxi said.
"The general has made a great contribution this time, I don't know what to reward, and he is not a person who likes those gold, silver and jewelry, I thought about it carefully, if you like the son of which family one day, come and tell me, I will personally give you a marriage."
The emperor made such a promise, and picked up a long wooden box with four corners inlaid with gold from the yellow rosewood table behind him and handed it to Jiang Moxi.
"A few days ago, Xijiang paid tribute to the cool hosta with warm tentacles, and I specially left one for you today."
Jiang Moxi stretched out his hand to take it, opened the box and took a look, it was really a rare good thing, her father didn't like gold, silver and jewelry, so he could only reward her.
"And the courtier took it." Jiang Moxi bowed his head and thanked him, not as reserved as he was when he first came.
In the memory of the original owner, her father has doted on her since she was a child, and after her mother died, everything went along with the original owner.
Jiang Moxi didn't get her father's love in her previous life, her father was a busy scientist every day, and she couldn't see each other a few times a year, so she was a little looking forward to Jiang Mu's return at this time.
"The emperor is not good!" Just as Jiang Moxi wanted to say goodbye, the chief eunuch hurriedly barged in without saying hello.
"What to do in a hurry, what kind of system to be crazy and crazy." The emperor frowned in displeasure, but he didn't say much.
The chief eunuch knelt on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "It's the regent, a servant came to report just now, and His Royal Highness the regent fell into the water, so I hurriedly came to report to Your Majesty." ”
"What!" The man who was originally sitting on the chair suddenly got up, and before the two people in the room could react, they had already walked to the door of the imperial study.
"You two, go out of the palace with me to find the regent." The emperor looked hurried and didn't care about anything else, and stretched out his hand and pointed to the two guards who took the lead and walked towards the outside of the palace.
Jiang Moxi, who was ignored in the imperial study, lowered his eyes and pondered, this regent could not be found in the memory of the original owner at all, and why was he in such a hurry when he fell into the water, shouldn't he be afraid of the power in the hands of the regent.
Seeing the appearance of the emperor, where did he not like the appearance of the regent, and the moment he heard that the regent fell into the water, he was more concerned and eager to hide.
"Miss Jiang, the emperor sent a servant to send you back to the General's Mansion." While Jiang Moxi was thinking, the guards walked in respectfully.
When she went out, she found out that Old Man Jiang was disgusted with the hot weather outside, and shouted to enter the palace, and the guards at the door were afraid that he would disturb the emperor, so they arranged him to go to the side hall.
When he came out, he said triumphantly: "I don't need your dead girl to help me intercede, the guards told me just now, the emperor is happy, maybe you won't care about this matter, and the general's mansion will naturally not give it to you." ”
The old man said it as a matter of course, Jiang Moxi didn't care much and said: "Whatever you want, you may not know yet, my father is coming back soon, do you say that you can still die and not leave when the time comes?" ”
Jiang Moxi smiled lightly and went back in a good mood.
Old man Jiang froze in place, if Jiang Mu came back, then they would definitely move out of the general's mansion, he panicked all of a sudden, and Congyun didn't follow, so he had to walk forward tremblingly, Jiang Moxi had already gone out of the palace gate when he was stunned.
"Miss Jiang, don't you have to wait for Old Man Jiang?" The groom was still the same groom who had sent her to the palace, and asked the people in the carriage in a low voice.
"No, let's go first." Jiang Moxi pulled down the curtain and said with his eyes closed.
Take Old Man Jiang with her, I'm afraid there is no time to be clean, let him go by himself.
"Drive!"
The groom drove the carriage forward leisurely, Jiang Moxi was a little drowsy, the summer weather was hot, and people became lazy and just wanted to sleep.
When the carriage was driving, I saw the flowers on the side of the road blooming under the scorching sun, one by one delicate, but the pedestrians were in a hurry, and no one had the heart to appreciate it.
Jiang Moxi's senses were keen, and he only heard a bang, and there was one more person in the carriage, Jiang Moxi immediately turned over and took out a scalpel from the space and put it on the neck of the person who came.
Looking at it closely, the man was gray-headed, and it was difficult to hide the nobility on his body with a black robe, although the dark clothes covered the blood stains on his body, Jiang Moxi still asked from the man's body about the strong smell of blood.
Jiang Moxi frowned, the man's injury came from nowhere, but it was not light, but the knife in her hand did not leave the man's neck for half a minute.
"Miss Jiang, what's going on in the carriage, are you okay?" The groom heard the movement in the car and asked worriedly.
For some reason, Jiang Moxi said that it was okay, and then turned to look at the man vigilantly, although she did not expose him, she did not trust this man who fell from the sky.
"Who are you? Where did it come from? Jiang Moxi asked.
The man's face was as pale as paper, and he looked at the knife around his neck: "Ben...... I was only robbed, so I had to come to the girl's carriage to take refuge, and I didn't want to hurt the girl. ”
"Really?" Jiang Moxi said suspiciously.
"What I said below is true, the girl might as well put down the knife first." While the two were talking, the man's eyes never left the knife in Jiang Moxi's hand, and he cautiously wanted to move his neck away from the knife.
The funny picture made Jiang Moxi laugh out loud and put the knife back.
Jiang Moxi smiled lightly, with a small dimple on the right side of his face, he looked particularly good when he smiled, and the man opposite unconsciously murmured: "It's so good-looking." ”
If it weren't for Jiang Moxi's closeness, he wouldn't have been able to hear the man's words.
However, it may also be that he is too tired and has lost too much blood, which makes Jiang Moxi worry about whether he can survive it.
"This is a hemostatic drug, you should take it first." Jiang Moxi took out a pill and handed it to the man, poured a glass of water from the teapot next to him and fed him to drink, and the man did not suspect that he took the medicine and ate it.
"Thank you." After saying this, he collapsed unconscious in the carriage.
Jiang Moxi looked at the man fainting, and actually digressed to think that this man was strangely good-looking.
Liang Jiu sighed: "Who called me kind, for your sake, I will take you back." ”
The medicine she fed to the man was not a hemostatic drug, but a tranquilizer, she was originally a doctor, how could she sit idly by when she saw that people were so badly injured in front of her, and she was afraid that the man would not go back with her, so she could only faint the person first.
"Miss Jiang, it's time to get to the place."
"You go down first, I don't have a lot of things to do here." Jiang Moxi said secretly, deliberately turning his words to another guess.
Hearing this, the horseman didn't ask much and took the lead in retreating, Jiang Moxi pulled the curtain and beckoned to the two people at the gate of the general's mansion, "You go to my courtyard to find Si Qing to come over." ”
There was no one at the gate of the general's mansion, and Jiang Moxi hurriedly dragged the man out of the carriage while he was taking everyone away.
The weight of an adult male is not light, and Jiang Moxi wasted a lot of effort to help the person from the gate of the house to the corner where no one was and hurried back.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Si Qing had already been standing by the carriage and waiting, and when he saw Jiang Moxi coming out from another corner, he wondered.
"It's okay, you come with me." Jiang Moxi beckoned the groom to drive the carriage away, and then hurriedly pulled Si Qing to the corner.
"This!"
Si Qing saw the man and exclaimed, how could his young lady bring back a man after a trip to the palace, if this is to make the second room look at it, I don't know what will happen.
"Shhh, be quiet, I picked him up on the side of the road, he was a little seriously injured, I can't take it back by myself, you help me move him to the yard."
Jiang Moxi and Si Qing held aside and lifted the man to the side door.
The side door is unguarded, and it is close to her yard, and the original owner of the loss is happy, so it is convenient for her to choose the yard here.
It's better to be careful, and don't let people see the malicious arrangement when the time comes.
"Miss, go back to the room to rest first, and the slave will move this son to the east wing." Si Qing had a lot of strength, and he helped people to the east wing by himself.
Jiang Moxi went back to the room and became a little sticky because of sweating just now. The tired dress changed, pushed the door and walked towards the east wing.
