Chapter 232: Assassination of the Crown Prince
Zhao Ling proudly hugged Jiang Xiaoyu and said with a smile: "My woman is really reasonable!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu pushed Zhao Ling away: "Although it is reasonable, but my heart is unhappy!" Although you don't have any other thoughts about her, she never stops thinking about you! The thought of her living in the Chu Palace, my heart felt uncomfortable! Although I had to let her stay for the sake of her safety, she helped, and we can't cross the river and tear down the bridge to throw her away, you have to come up with a way to keep her safe and not let her appear in front of my eyes as soon as possible! ”
"Good, good!" Zhao Ling replied, "You can rest assured, when the second child's marriage is over, I will arrange this matter again, and I will not let her appear in your field of vision again!" ”
"By the way, I have something to do with you today!" Jiang Xiaoyu told Zhao Ling what he encountered in the palace today, "Do you think her words are credible?" I observed her expression at the time, the hatred and unwillingness were so real, it made my heart sour, it didn't look like a fake, but the stake was huge, I didn't dare to believe her rashly, so I wanted to discuss it with you! Is there a way to investigate her back? ”
"Since she escaped this matter when the people in the queen's palace were purged at that time, it must not be easy to investigate her background!" Zhao Ling said, "I can trust Jin Concubine Niangniang, she educated the five princes very well, I will find someone to find a way to probe Jin Concubine's tone, saying that Jin Concubine thinks she is reliable, but she can contact it, maybe she can grasp some clues about what happened ten years ago, and then it is the thing that shocked the government and the opposition in her mouth, I also feel very curious, if Jin Concubine Niangniang is related to this matter, what can make her so jealous must be a big thing...... No matter what, you still need to get in touch with Jin Concubine! ”
"Well, you are familiar with the situation in the palace, so it's good to leave this matter to you!" Jiang Xiaoyu sighed leisurely, "The marriage of the second prince is a matter of three days later......"
Before she finished speaking, Zhao Ling's face sank and asked, "What are you sighing about when he gets married?" ”
"After his marriage, I'm afraid that I will start preparing for the marriage of the county lord of Qiwen, this marriage has not been withdrawn, can Qiwen only marry the eldest grandson? With the addition of Jiang Yiran in the Hou Mansion, Qiwen's life is afraid that it will be very difficult! ”
"I will communicate with the eldest grandson Chi about this matter, Qiwen is the sister of all of us, and we will not watch her be wronged!" Zhao Ling said.
"You also have to pay attention to this matter, don't push the eldest grandson Chi to the third prince!"
"Good!"
As the two were talking, Yang Xing's voice came from outside the house: "Qiqi Shizi, the news just came that Prince Chen Guo met an assassin in the post house!" ”
"What!" Zhao Ling's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Is the prince safe?" ”
"No one is in the way!"
"What about the Assassins?"
"The assassin has escaped and is now being pursued!"
"Is it them again?" Jiang Xiaoyu frowned and asked, because Princess Jingyun was almost assassinated when she was with them last time, so this time they also have reason to suspect that the same person was behind the scenes, as for the purpose, I am afraid that it is only to provoke a war between Chen Guo and Da Zhou!
"His heart is punishable!" Zhao Ling sighed, "Let's go to the post house first!" ”
Zhao Ling and Jiang Xiaoyu came to the post house, only to see Zhao Qian comforting Li Changqing, who was quite frightened, Zhao Yan and Princess Jingyun were standing next to them, watching with concern.
Although Jiang Xiaoyu has been cooperating with Zhao Ling to prepare for the marriage of Zhao Yan and Princess Jingyun recently, she has never seen the two, when she was in the Lantern Festival Imperial Garden, Zhao Yan's words made her feel a little uneasy in her heart, and she was also very guilty about Princess Jingyun, so she stood behind Zhao Ling, not knowing how to face the two, or how to make it clear to the two of them, or whether to provoke this topic.
Jiang Xiaoyu didn't know how to deal with this matter, so he simply didn't think about it anymore, he set his eyes on the body of Prince Chen Guo, who she had always been curious about, and took a breath of cold air, this person was really handsome and extraordinary, with a romantic charm between his eyebrows and eyes, revealing a trace of evil energy, and Zhao Qian beside him was in the same place, both of them had a feminine body, but they each had their own beauty, it was really pleasing to the eye!
Compared with them, Zhao Ling is too upright, and at first glance he is a young man with a dragon and a phoenix, while Zhao Yan is more heroic and masculine, which is far from the indistinguishable temperament of their male and female.
"What's going on?" Zhao Ling asked.
"Assassin...... Maybe it's just the person who is watching, and he was discovered by the patrolling guards, his martial arts are very strong, and he was able to get out after being besieged, and now he has escaped! Zhao Yan said, "His right arm is injured and is now being hunted!" Prince, just frightened, not injured! ”
Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at the prince who was with Zhao Qian on the bed, and saw that his face was like a peach blossom and his eyes were like autumn water, and he really couldn't see that he was frightened.
Zhao Qian held Li Changqing's hand and said, "You have a good rest, don't worry, I'm not leaving, I'm here to accompany you!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu trembled, what is the difference between this affectionate appearance and facing a lover? She pulled Zhao Ling's sleeve and asked, "Is this the same between you men?" ”
"No, they're the only ones like this!" Zhao Ling said.
At this time, Princess Jingyun walked to Jiang Xiaoyu's side, smiled softly and said, "Let them men talk together, and we girls can talk, right?" ”
"Okay!"
Jiang Xiaoyu greeted Zhao Ling and left with Princess Jingyun, Zhao Yan's brows frowned slightly and then relaxed, looking a little helpless.
Li Changqing sighed: "Not bad! My little sister's popularity is quite good, and she has a girlfriend so soon, and the two girls don't know what to whisper! ”
The two girls walked outside under the gaze of the four men, Jiang Xiaoyu coughed lightly and asked, "Is there anything the princess looking for me?" ”
"I want to talk to you about the second prince!" Princess Jingyun said, "I know that the person in the second prince's heart is you, and since this is something I already know, I won't be surprised or blame you at all!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu bit his lip lightly, not knowing what to say.
Princess Jingyun thought for a while and said: "It's just that I'm an ordinary woman after all, and I do have the second prince in my heart, so if I don't mind at all, it's a lie, don't get me wrong, I don't have any intention of blaming, I'm just pleading, I hope you can keep your distance from the second prince in the future, don't make any response to his feelings, if it's not in a particularly necessary situation, I hope you don't meet, I know that my request is a little rude, I also know that you are helping to prepare for our wedding, and I still say these words to you, it is too unconscionable, but whether it is for myself or for the second prince, I should say these words! ”
"You can't ask too much!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I have never responded to the feelings of the second prince from the beginning, and I will not in the future!" I promise you that I won't meet him unless I have to, and I don't know what to do to reassure you, but I want you two to be happy more than anyone else! ”
Princess Jingyun grabbed Jiang Xiaoyu's hand and said with a smile: "I don't want the relationship between us to be affected because of a man's affairs, you are my first friend in Da Zhou, and it is also a friend I cherish very much, I hope the friendship between us can last forever!" ”
"Okay, we'll always be good friends!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, "You will be a bride soon, have a good rest, Jingyun, you are really good, you deserve to be happy!" ”
"Thank you!"
Zhao Ling returned to Jiangfu from Jiang Xiaoyu and asked on the way, "The princess didn't embarrass you, right?" ”
"No, the princess is one of the few women I can see and have a high mood!" Jiang Xiaoyu admired and said, "At this point, I feel that I can't compare to her!" ”
"Each of you is good in your own way!" Zhao Ling said, "The princess is indeed a smart woman, although the second child has thoughts about you, but you have not responded, you are open in your heart, so she has no reason to target you, if you change to a scheming woman to approach the second child, do you see if she will be angry?" Instead of treating you as an enemy and making Zhao Yan's heart unhappy, it is better to become friends with you, so that the second child will feel guilty in his heart! Although I think it is more gloomy, but choosing this approach is indeed a more correct path for Princess Jingyun! ”
While speaking, they had already arrived in front of the Jiang Mansion, because there were more things next, and the two were only afraid that they would have time to meet at the wedding of the second prince, Jiang Xiaoyu instructed: "Don't let Ruyan get too close to you, Chu Wangfu is full of my eyeliner, you can watch it yourself!" ”
"Madame's order, Zhao Ling doesn't dare to disobey, there is still a need for eyeliner!" Zhao Ling said, "Okay, go back and rest!" ”
Saying goodbye to Zhao Ling, Jiang Xiaoyu returned to Taoyao Courtyard and greeted several maids in the courtyard, at this time, she saw Yan Yan sneakily hiding something behind her, she raised her eyebrows and walked over, and said lightly: "Miss, I don't want to do it, let's explain it myself!" ”
Yan Yan pouted and took out the white gauze in her hand: "I didn't expect to meet Miss here......"
"Someone hurt?" Jiang Xiaoyu hurriedly asked.
Yan Yan nodded.
Jiang Xiaoyu hurriedly pushed the door in, only to see Wu Qian cleaning his wounds, and when he saw her entering, his brows furrowed slightly.
"How? How did it hurt? Jiang Xiaoyu asked, "Master is in the house, why did you come here to treat your wounds?" ”
"I'm fine, don't tell Master about this!" Wu Qian said.
Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at the wound on Wu Gan's arm, although it was not a fatal injury, but it was also deep to the bone, she sighed and said, "Let me come!" It's okay if I don't tell Master, but you have to tell me what happened first! ”
