Chapter 42: Return to the Palace
Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, still wanting to refute, she didn't want to go back to that place, she finally got the opportunity, if it wasn't for this sudden assassination, she would have taken her hire and flown away.
Chang Ge helped on the side, "Xinguan Nu, you can go back to the palace with Your Majesty." ”
Jiang Wan thought about it, this time he was targeted to become a fish on the knife, there must be a next time, this royal nunnery really can't stay any longer.
"The slave obeys."
Hiren'er's injuries would have to wait two days before they could act, so Jiang Wan asked Lu Zhixing to go back to the palace first, and then send someone to pick them up on that day.
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
Lu Zhixing arranged a secret guard by Jiang Wan's side to ensure her safety for the past few days. After Lu Zhi walked, Jiang Wan came to Ping'er's room.
Ping'er has woken up, but she needs someone to take care of her daily life, and the cultivator who is responsible for taking care of Ping'er has just finished changing her medicine.
"I'm tired of the cultivators."
"Poor nuns are obliged, and there is no need to be grateful."
When Ping'er heard Jiang Wan coming, she turned her head to look at her, and the sword went deep into her waist and abdomen, making it very inconvenient for her to sit up.
"Lie down and don't move."
Jiang Wan looked at Ping'er who walked around from the ghost gate, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red. None of the people in the palace were so badly injured because of her.
"Hire'er, it's because I can't stand you."
Jiang Wan sat on the edge of the bed and took Ping'er's hand and held it tightly in his hand, tears falling on the back of his hand. Ping'er couldn't see Jiang Wan crying, and comforted her with a weak voice, "Ping'er is the master's maidservant, and protecting the master is one of Ping'er's missions, how can the master not be able to live with Ping'er." ”
"Master, don't be sad, Ping'er hasn't been rescued, Ping'er will be able to recover soon."
In order to reassure Jiang Wan, Ping'er raised a bright smile. Jiang Wan looked at her and couldn't help sighing in her heart, how could there be such a stupid girl in this world.
Jiang Wan thought for a moment and was about to tell Ping'er the news that she was going back to the palace. Hi'er felt a little surprised when she found out, but it was expected.
Ping'er naturally knew that the target of the assassination was Jiang Wan, where would Lu Zhixing let Jiang Wan continue to stay in danger. Although the palace is treacherous, if Lu Zhixing wants to protect one person, it will naturally be more difficult for others to start.
"The target of those killers this time is the master."
"Exactly, you can see that."
Ping'er knew that Jiang Wan was reluctant to return to the palace, and how could there be anyone else who wanted Jiang Wan's life except for the characters in the harem.
The palace is the most dangerous place but also the safest place, Ping'er said, "Master, Ping'er knows that you don't want to go back, but now that you are worried about your life, after this matter, Your Majesty will definitely pay attention to you and can protect you for a while." ”
"I know, so I promised Your Majesty that I would leave for the palace when you have almost recovered from your injuries."
Jiang Wan couldn't help but feel stunned in his heart, this time he returned to the Longtan Tiger's Den, and he didn't know when he would leave again.
On the other side, Lu Zhixing returned to the palace, and the turmoil in the royal nunnery caused a sensation in the capital. Although the Manchu Dynasty civil and military did not know why Lu Zhi's behavior would appear in the imperial nunnery, Lu Zhi's trip to Lu Zhi's distress this time also made people panic.
After Lu Zhixing returned to the palace, he summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs to reassure them that he was not injured, but the impact of this matter was very bad and must be thoroughly investigated.
"How could His Majesty appear in the Imperial Nunnery on that day?!"
Lin Yao of the Guifei Palace is now like an ant on a hot pot, and she is beginning to be anxious and walking around the palace. Yuan Zhu's face on the side naturally didn't look much better.
Lin Yao's original intention was to assassinate Jiang Wan, and the death of an official woman in the royal nunnery would naturally not have such a big commotion. But the appearance of Lu Zhixing made the whole thing deteriorate, and if she was found out, she would be guilty of attempting to rebel and kill the king.
"He must be there for that slut Jiang Wan!"
Lin Yao's expression was distorted, how could Jiang Wan, a woman, be so good, she could avoid her life three or four times. The last time she lost her troops, this time she was completely cornered.
"Niangniang, don't mess with yourself, the people in that place don't know our identity, even if Your Majesty finds out, it has nothing to do with us."
Lin Yao calmed down after listening to Yuan Zhu's words, he didn't leave a handle on that killer organization, and Lu Zhixing couldn't find his head.
"This time we were careless, we didn't expect the variable of Your Majesty, it seems that Jiang Wan's life is not an easy thing to want." Lin Yao almost suffered a big loss this time, so she was more cautious and prepared to wait for Jiang Wan and Lu Zhixing's next move.
A few days later, Lu Zhixing sent Chang Ge to pick up Jiang Wan and Xian'er from the royal nunnery. Ping'er got into the carriage first, and Jiang Wan stood outside the gate to say goodbye to Master Yuanli.
"Thank you Master Yuanli for taking care of me this month."
"With a show of hands, the daughter of Xin Guannu will take care in the future."
There is another meaning in Yuanli's words, Jiang Wan understands it, nods, folds his hands and bows, "I will, and I hope the master will take care in the future." ”
"Lady Xin, it's time for us to leave for the palace."
Jiang Wan turned around and got into the carriage, but Lu Zhixing was sticky, because Jiang Wan and Ping'er were both injured, and they deliberately used a relatively wide carriage to allow the two of them to sit and lie down alternately.
Master Yuanli looked at the carriage and sighed heavily, "Xinguannu, I hope you can dodge the open guns and hidden arrows in the harem." ”
After Master Yuanli calmed down, he naturally knew that this assassination was not aimed at them cultivators, but other people in this nunnery.
Lu Zhixing came secretly this time and couldn't be known by others, so the spearhead was Jiang Wan from the palace.
Jiang Wan returned to the palace, and the people in the harem got the news. The three who reacted more were Xia Yahan, the Queen Mother and Lin Yao. Because the fact that Jiang Wan left the palace to practice did not spread in the palace, they only wondered when Jiang Wan left when Jiang Wan came back.
"Jiang Wan is back?!"
"Wan'er is back?!"
Since the Queen Mother learned that Lu Zhixing was assassinated in the royal nunnery, she was particularly worried about Jiang Wan's situation. And she didn't have a chance to ask Lu Zhixing, so she kept worrying, and Xia Yahan was the same.
Jiang Wan and Ping'er had just returned to Luoyunxuan's side courtyard, and the familiar grass and trees could not make Jiang Wan happy, but Ping'er was obviously in a much better spirit.
Because Lu Zhixing sent the chief manager to clean up with the palace maid before, it was no different from when he left, and there was no dust.
"Your Majesty has a heart, lest we clean up by ourselves."
Jiang Wan said casually and opened the window to ventilate the room. At this moment, Xia Yahan had already rushed over with Mo'er, and when she saw Jiang Wan, who was obviously emaciated, Xia Yahan was very distressed.
"Jiang Wan, why have you suffered so much, are the people in the nunnery treating you badly?"
Xia Yahan wanted to pounce on Jiang Wan, but Jiang Wan dodged him.
"I have a wound on my body, but I can't help your enthusiasm."
Jiang Wan smiled, as if the injured person was not herself. Xia Yahan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then thought of Lu Zhixing's previous assassination in the royal nunnery.
"But because of that assassination?"
"Well, I received a sword on behalf of Your Majesty, but it's not serious."
Jiang Wan glanced at Mo'er, who was looking for Hi'er with her eyes.
"Mo'er, you can go and see her in your own room, she was injured much more seriously than me this time to save me."
Mo'er nodded and turned to leave, Xia Yahan frowned, her eyes full of questions and worries.
"How so?"
Jiang Wan shook her head, she didn't want to tell Xia Yahan that this assassination was for her, she didn't want Xia Yahan to know so many shady things.
Just as Xia Yahan and Jiang Wan were chatting, the Queen Mother and Mama Liang came to the side courtyard of Luoyunxuan. Mama Liang looked at the doors and windows open, she stood outside the door and said with a smile, "Ju Chang is here, Xin Guannu, the Queen Mother came to visit when she learned that Xin Guannu returned to the palace." ”
As soon as they heard this, Jiang Wan and Xia Yahan went out to greet the Queen Mother, and the two saluted the Queen Mother.
"The mourning family is unfortunate to disturb your two sisters' greetings." The Queen Mother turned to look at Jiang Wan with a kind smile on her face, and her face was also distressed, "Wan'er, you have suffered." ”
"Jiang Wan is not bitter, thank you for the Queen Mother's concern."
The four of them returned to Jiang Wan's room and sat down to chat. Jiang Wan has been talking about his practice in the royal nunnery and some enlightenment of Buddhism, and tried not to mention the assassination.
However, the Queen Mother learned from Xia Yahan that Jiang Wan and Ping'er were in the house, and her face was a little more serious. Whose handiwork this is, how could the Queen Mother not be able to see it, but Lin Yao actually stretched out her hand outside the palace, but she was bold.
"Wan'er, since you have returned to the palace, you will not encounter this kind of danger."
Before the Queen Mother was ready to leave, she told Jiang Wan to let her take her to the Queen Mother's dormitory to wait until their injuries were completely recovered before coming back.
"Jiang Wan thanks the Queen Mother for taking care of her, but you don't have to."
The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Wan's appearance and sighed, so she had no choice but to give up. Xia Yahan saw that the Queen Mother was gone, and also called Shang Mo'er to leave the side courtyard.
"Then I'll go back first, and you and Hiro'er will rest."
"Hmm."
When it was time for dinner, there was a knock on Jiang Wan's door. Jiang Wan opened the door and saw that it was a palace maid, and she said that she was ordered by Lu Zhixing to bring dinner to Jiang Wan and Hire'er.
Jiang Wan took it and went to call Ping'er out for dinner. After dinner, the Queen Mother ordered someone to send a lot of medicines and supplements, and Jiang Wan thanked him and placed them properly.
Jiang Wan thought that there would be nothing wrong with her, and she would return to the same days as before, but what happened the next day surprised her.
The next day, Jiang Wan and Ping'er had just finished breakfast, and the chief manager came with someone. The chief steward still had his usual smile on his face, and he held a bright yellow scroll of holy decrees in his hand.
"I went out on patrol in Weifu, I was assassinated on the way, Xin Guannu escorted meritorious, promoted constantly, and the title remained unchanged."
After the chief manager finished reciting the holy decree, Jiang Wan was stunned and didn't react for a while, why was he suddenly promoted? The hired children on the side were pleasantly surprised. The chief manager saw that Jiang Wan didn't move, and coughed lightly, "Congratulations to Xin Chang for being here, Xin Chang is coming forward to take the order." ”
Jiang Wan stepped forward and took the sudden decree very reluctantly.
"The slave and the maid take the order."
The chief steward asked the palace people to carry all the things that Lu Zhixing had rewarded into Jiang Wan's room. Because Jiang Wan was promoted to Changzai, there were also three or five palace maids stationed in this side courtyard of Luoyunxuan to wait for her.
