Chapter 118: The Knife Hanging Overhead

For Jiang Xiaoyu, the time seems to have passed very slowly recently, slowly climbing to August, under an autumn rain, the summer heat has been completely extinguished, and the morning and evening winds are bleak.

Nine times out of ten, for Jiang Xiaoyu, Su Xuan will be the knot between her and Zhao Ling, although no one will take the initiative to mention it, but it does not mean that she does not exist, whether Zhao Ling is willing to admit it or not, Su Xuan occupies an indelible position in her heart, if the two of them go down plainly, the throbbing that he has not realized may gradually dissipate, but now in a tragic way, it has carved a deep imprint on his heart, and it will linger with guilt for the rest of his life.

Maybe Zhao Ling kept his promise to himself and guarded his heart tightly, but Jiang Xiaoyu once thought that if he was in Zhao Ling's position, would he be tempted by the beauty who accompanied him and supported him, she would, this has nothing to do with Zhao Ling's feelings for him, it is just human nature, but Zhao Ling may never realize it, but he just used his sister's words to block this feeling.

Even if Zhao Ling really has a relationship between men and women for Su Xuan, after Jiang Xiaoyu thinks about it, he will not feel jealous, but moved, seven emotions and six desires are human nature, in this world where men have three wives and four concubines, he remembers his promises, his feelings for himself, and his greatest efforts as long as he is alone.

There has never been a flawless saint in this world, and those love stories that have been circulated are just sacrifices and concessions to each other.

It's just that now she doesn't have the extra heart to care about Su Xuan's affairs, there is a knife hanging above her head now, and it may fall down at any time.

A sect appeared in the northwest, under the banner of his grandfather, saying that it wanted to avenge him. The northwest is grandpa's hometown, when resisting the barbarians, grandpa has been stationed in the northwest for 20 years, and the name of the god of war is also from there, grandpa's prestige in the hearts of the people here is very high, and now there are people under his banner, claiming that he was wronged, and he wants to avenge him, naturally he responds, and many people are willing to join.

And the reputation of this sect gradually spread to the capital, and it was inevitable that some people would once again set their eyes on the Jiang family and Jiang Xiaoyu. He paid attention to the reaction of the Chu Palace, and already had the attitude of the palace towards this matter.

Inside the Fengxi Palace.

"Meet the Queen Mother, Meet the Imperial Brother! I've seen the royal sister! "Xiuwen is already about to leave for the fiefdom, and today he entered the palace to bid farewell to the Queen Mother, but he didn't expect Emperor Zhou and the eldest princess to be there.

Since Emperor Zhou gave the prince and Jiang Xiaoyu a marriage, Princess Xiuwen has always ignored this imperial brother, and there is not much contact with the eldest princess more than ten years ago, and after greeting the two, she never looked at the two again.

"Erchen is here to bid farewell to his mother, and Erchen is going, and I don't know when I will be able to come back!" Princess Xiuwen wiped her tears and said, "Erchen is not around to serve, the queen mother must take good care!" ”

"You just have to go, your royal brother and sister are here in the mourning family, you can rest assured! There is no one to take care of you, you have to be careful, the mourning family only has one thing to remind you, don't do anything foolish, if there is a next time, even the mourning family can't protect you! The Queen Mother said lightly, but her eyes were still very concerned, after all, she was the young girl in her mouth, she had not left her too far since she was born, except for the incident ten years ago, which did not affect her, but there was never anything against her wishes.

"Going to the fiefdom and staying away from the capital can be regarded as a lesson for you! In the future, use your brain to think about what you can touch and what you can't! Emperor Zhou said with a straight face.

"The courtier's sister doesn't know what to touch, what can't be touched, and the things that the royal brother is not happy to touch!" Princess Xiuwen snorted and said, "Sister Chen just wants to remind the imperial brother that the foundation of our Great Zhou is the scholar clan, and the imperial brother is forcing the scholar clan to a desperate road step by step, don't be bad at cleaning up when the time comes!" ”

"Imperial Sister!" The eldest princess hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has made a wise decision, these things are naturally taken into account, don't be open-mouthed!" ”

"I'm just as the princess of the Great Zhou, I'm just expressing my worries for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, since you don't let me say it, I won't say it!" Princess Xiuwen said lightly, "But there is one thing that is not unpleasant to be pressed on my heart, there is a red-clothed sect in the northwest, saying that it is to avenge the Bai family, don't tell me that none of you have heard of it!" ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" The Queen Mother asked with a calm face.

"I want to talk about Jiang Xiaoyu, a lot of things have happened in the Jiang family these days, it seems that it has nothing to do with Jiang Xiaoyu, but if you think about it, does it really have nothing to do with it? She is an orphan girl whose mother is not close to her father, how can it be smooth sailing in a short period of time? Today, there is such a red-clothed sect, and I finally understand that the reason why Jiang Xiaoyu has such great power is just because of this red-clothed sect behind him! Princess Xiuwen said eagerly, a strong murderous aura gradually appeared in her eyes, "Think about it, Jiang Xiaoyu is the remnant of the Bai family, and the Cardinal Sect is under the banner of the Bai Family, if you want to say that Jiang Xiaoyu has nothing to do with the Cardinal Sect, I will not believe it if I am killed, as long as Jiang Xiaoyu is arrested and tortured, I will definitely be able to find evidence of collusion between the two, maybe Jiang Xiaoyu is still their spiritual leader, as long as Jiang Xiaoyu is killed, this Cardinal Sect may collapse by itself!" ”

"Imperial sister, you can't talk nonsense!" Because of the marriage between the Dingjun Marquis Mansion and the Jiang family, the eldest princess was worried about being implicated, so she opened her mouth to speak for Jiang Xiaoyu, "Anyway, Jiang Xiaoyu is also a teenage girl, she has so much power?" This girl is a little scheming in the city, but it is also in the inner house, the northwest is far away from the capital, and she has not been out of the capital at all in the past ten years, how can the two be pulled together? However, a small organization of chaotic people, just send someone to exterminate it, is it too much of a fuss to implicate a future princess! ”

"Queen Mother, although there is no evidence for the son, but Jiang Xiaoyu, this woman is definitely not simple, if you don't kill her now, the tiger will be fed in the future, but she will be injured!" Princess Xiuwen hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, when you break it, you will break it, you would rather kill by mistake than let it go!" ”

"Imperial sister, I know that you can't let go of what happened ten years ago, so you hate Jiang Xiaoyu, but she was just a child back then, what can she know!" The eldest princess said, "Since Your Majesty has decided not to pursue it anymore, this matter should not be mentioned again, if Jiang Xiaoyu is killed because of this matter, maybe the people in the capital will become panicked again, this scientific examination is good, or a thorough investigation of the enclosure is a rule set by His Majesty, if these things are delayed because of a small Jiang Xiaoyu, it is because of a small loss!" ”

"But ......"

"Shut up!" Xiu Wen also wanted to continue to persuade the Queen Mother to kill Jiang Xiaoyu, but Emperor Zhou scolded coldly, "I just asked you to think more about it, and you forgot it so quickly?" Whether to kill Jiang Xiaoyu or not is my business, so don't worry about it anymore, clean it up, and hurry up to the fiefdom! ”

"The imperial brother is not a woman's benevolence, but now he has repeatedly tolerated Jiang Xiaoyu, what is the purpose behind it?" Xiu Wen looked at Emperor Zhou and said suspiciously, "Your Majesty's thoughts, the courtiers have never seen clearly, maybe Your Majesty, you have other plans, the courtiers will take a good look at the capital in the fiefdom, and wait for Your Majesty's next move!" ”

After speaking, after she kowtowed to the queen mother, she got up and left the palace quickly, the carriage was waiting outside the palace gate, and Zhao Yan and Zhao Ye brothers said goodbye to her at the palace gate. After she got into the car, she went straight to the city gate, where the escort assembled and escorted her to the fiefdom.

Zhao Ling and Zhao Qian's brothers were already waiting at the city gate to see off Princess Xiuwen, and Zhao Qian whispered in Zhao Ling's ear: "You say, will the princess tear us apart later?" ”

"Is my aunt such a rude person?" Zhao Ling sighed, "I'm just afraid that my aunt won't forgive me so easily!" ”

"That's right, the princess will be driven out of the capital, with your credit, if it were me, I wouldn't want to see you!" Zhao Qian gloated and said, "But when you said that if Princess Xiuwen was not good for Xiaoyu, you would drive the princess out of the capital, and you did what you said, and you forgot your aunt when you had a daughter-in-law!" ”

While the two were talking, Princess Xiuwen's carriage had arrived, Zhao Qian walked over and said a few words to her, and when Zhao Ling walked over, she didn't look at it, and got back into the car and asked the coachman to catch the car.

Zhao Ling sighed helplessly and said, "Zhao Ling knows that he can't live with his aunt, and his aunt ignores Zhao Ling, Zhao Ling is self-inflicted!" However, it is not a good thing for my aunt to go to the fiefdom, although Yandi is bitter cold, but it is far away from the capital, and where my aunt will have unexpected harvests! ”

Princess Xiuwen did not reply in the car, and the coachman drove away in the carriage, and the escort followed in a mighty manner.

Zhao Qian touched Zhao Ling with his arm and said, "It's already a tragic thing for the princess to go to Yandi, you still have unexpected gains, it's too much!" ”

"The so-called seeking kindness and getting kindness, how do you know that your aunt will not have a harvest?"

"You kid have something to say, do you know any inside story?" Zhao Qian asked gossipingly, "Share it!" ”

"No comment!"

"What do you think about the Cardinal Sect?" Zhao Qian looked at the geese in the sky, his face began to become serious, "This matter can be big or small, if this matter really makes trouble, it is not a joke, and Your Majesty sent you to disaster relief at this time, what is the purpose?" ”
