255. Be mindful
Fortunately, there is a big one in the house, and after diagnosis and treatment, he was only hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and it is not close to the key, and it will not be fatal. Always far-fetched with a smile on his face. Make Concubine Dong angry with her princess, dream. ”
And Mu Xuanyuan on the other side hurriedly bandaged his wounds, and Jiang Chi sent him into the palace to see the Son of Heaven, this fire and attack from the sky was simply too strange!
When Jiang Chi came back, it was already late at night, so he had the opportunity to ask about the details of the accident. Qiao Siwan shook her head and didn't make a sound, and the nearby Hongyu easily explained the matter.
In this process, Qiao Siwan was just calmly fascinated by Xiao Jiang Chi and asked, "Is there anything else that is uncomfortable?" "I'm thinking." Qiao Siwan said meaningfully: "This companion is actually too coincidental! ”
"Why do you say that?" Jiang Chi thought so deeply in his heart, but he saw that Qiao Siwan seemed to have seen something strange, so he continued to ask.
Qiao Siwan slowly groaned: "I suspect that the fire in the post house this time was done by Nanzhao, which was intended to destroy the peace treaty and disturb the situation between the two countries. "That's just one of the doubts and a reason for comparison.
Jiang Chi understood, nodded and said: "Indeed, Your Majesty and the Prince of Gaochang generally have this question, there is no fire in the morning, no fire in the evening, but it happened that the fire caught fire during the time when the Gaochang people stayed in the post house, and once it caught fire, it could not be eliminated, in fact, it was too strange." , There is another one, the post house defense is majestic, there are tens of thousands of Janissaries in the capital, and the Nanzhao people are rampant, how can they sneak into the post house and set fire to it under such a precise defense, don't you think it's strange? ”
Qiao Siwan said slowly: "Then how did Your Majesty deal with it?" ”
Jiang Chi smiled and said, "Your Majesty sent the Praetorian Guard's instructions to General Gao to take him into custody for questioning. If the charge is true. It's a beheading. ”
"General Gao? Isn't that too aggrieved? Qiao Siwan said with a smile, "Although the Praetorian Guard is said to be guarding the capital gate, but this fire is burning from the post house, and the Praetorian Guard is at most responsible for a crime of insufficient firefighting, and it is a big deal to reduce his position, why do you want his life?" ”
"When it comes to sin, there has to be a scapegoat. If the final judgment is that it is a fire, then it is still necessary to take on the responsibility of loose defense and poor protection by Gao Jin, the Praetorian Guard. This is also His Majesty's advice to the two guests. How do you know it's a fire in the inn? Jiang Chi looked at his little daughter-in-law in surprise.
Qiao Siwan smiled slightly and said, "If there is a fire on the periphery of the post house, the nearby Xingye Restaurant and Red Grapefruit should be the first to burn up, because there are countless cloth vines on the second floor of these two houses, but at this time, all the post houses are burned, isn't it?" She thought for a moment, then said, "What kind of faction does this envoy belong to?" ”
Jiang Chi looked at her with a smile in her eyes, and Qiao Siwan knew that she had asked where she was going. Jiang Chi said slowly: "The Praetorian Guard's instructions make the official rank not high. But it is an important position, controlling tens of thousands of guards and horses, and also controlling various city gates, once something happens to the capital gate, it is impossible for anyone to ignore these tens of thousands of horses. It should be said. Gao Jin is loyal to His Majesty, not subordinate to the crown prince, because of his upright temper, he also has many debates with the prince. At this time, all factions are afraid that everyone is eyeing each other and will take this post away just now. ”
Qiao Siwan thought for a moment and said, "It stands to reason that the Praetorian Guards should indeed be the first to get information and rush to the scene. Why have they not yet arrived when all your men have arrived? ”
Jiang Chi touched her head and said, "You really think a lot; After the accident, Gao Jin was imprisoned, and I could only start with his lieutenant, regretting that I didn't find anything. ”
If Gao Jin's information channel is asked, then it proves that someone wants to take this opportunity to remove him" Qiao Siwan looked at Jiang Chi and asked seriously: "So; Are you going to fight for the Praetorian Guard's right to give instructions? ”
Jiang Chi shook his head and said, "For this sensitive opportunity, neither my father nor I should recommend people; It's better to let go of your mind and investigate the whole thing clearly. ”
Qiao Siwan raised her eyebrows: "Investigation clearly? "Will the people behind this be allowed to be investigated?"
Jiang Chi said: "In front of you, Your Majesty took the lead with the three divisions and sent experienced officials to investigate the fire, because this matter is related to Gaochang, and the Nine Emperors have asked to intervene in the whole process of investigating the case." ”
Thinking of Mu Xuanyuan, Qiao Siwan shook her head, from beginning to end, she didn't know, what was the reason for this prince to leave mm alone and only protect himself, she sighed, and said: "This matter is really a coincidence, it is rare that Concubine Dong asked me to go to incense, and it is rare to encounter a fire in the post house, and it is even rarer." In fact, a large number of assassins have robbed and killed us, and we have been involved in it for no apparent reason. At this time, this princess became my savior, you say, is it a deliberate attempt? ”
Jiang Chi couldn't help laughing when he saw that Qiao Siwan had clarified the strangest part of the matter in half a word: "You." Put away your doubts, don't show them in front of outsiders, the horizontal and vertical people dig a pit for you, you can jump down, don't let people be disappointed. ”
Qiao Siwan nodded and said with a smile: "No matter what other people's intentions are, it is indeed true that Mu Hongxue saved me, if it weren't for her." I may not be able to come back alive. ”
Jiang Chi took her in his arms, only to feel that the thrill in his heart almost made him lose the ability to breathe, and the moment he heard that she was in danger, he couldn't grasp the emotion, and even failed the ability to check the form wisely, fortunately. She's fine.
At this time, Hongyu brought the meal in, Qiao Siwan's face was slightly red, and she gently withdrew from his chest, and said with a smile: "I don't think it yet, I just realized that I was hungry at this time." ”
Jiang Chi didn't feel it at all, Qiao Siwan raised his chopsticks and saw that he was only looking at him with a smile; I couldn't help but say, "Aren't you hungry?" ”
Jiang Chizhou only got a report from his subordinates, saying that Qiao Siwan was attacked, and he was so shocked that he couldn't even put on his clothes, and at this time he saw that she was safe and sound, so how could he care if he was hungry or not, he smiled and said: "In the past, when the army was marching and fighting, there were many times when there was no fire and food during the march, and I came here hungry with the soldiers, so I didn't have to eat this meal, and it wouldn't be good." ”
Qiao Siwan ate two chopsticks, and suddenly laughed, Jiang Chi looked at her in surprise, she coughed, and said sharply: "County King, from today on." The first woman in the universe has come to live in our house, what should you do if you say that she is such a pamper? ”
Jiang Chi heard her say three words about our family. There was already a smile on his face, but after hearing it, his expression became gloomy: "No, there is another Nine Emperor Prince." ”
"What? Mu Xuanyuan? How is this possible?! ”
Contrary to Qiao Siwan's expectations, Mu Hongxue was unwilling to recuperate in the Yanwang Mansion, and the next day she asked for another place to live, Concubine Dong repeatedly retained, and even the Yan King had to come forward to persuade her, because at this time, everyone knew that Princess Xiangxue was injured in order to save Qiao Siwan, if Mu Hongxue really left immediately after being injured, wouldn't it seem that the Yanwang Mansion was extremely repulsive? Buyan Wangfu, even the Nine Emperor Princes repeatedly comforted mm, and said that if he left at this time, it would affect the reputation of Princess Mingjun so that Mu Hongxue was forcibly left.
As Qiao Siwan, who was rescued, she really didn't spontaneously do it at all, there was already a commotion over there, and she was still sitting in the yard reading a book.
Sun Rouning hurried over, and when she saw Qiao Siwan flipping through the album while eating jade peach cake, she almost didn't dare to trust her eyes: "What are you doing?" ”
Qiao Siwan raised the book in his hand, "Didn't you catch a glimpse?" ”
Sun Rouning couldn't say a word for a long time: "You...... With so much news in there, can you still sit still? ”
Qiao Siwan patted the peach crumbs on her body and said, "Is the news big?" ”
Sun Rouning nodded righteously: "No, Xiangxue Gong mainly went elsewhere to recuperate, and Concubine Dong kept it again and again." ”
"Oh," Qiao Siwan sighed softly and said casually, "What does this have to do with whether I read or not?" ”
"You've always had such a bright head, is that stupid? Princess Xiangxue can't leave, she is your savior at this time, if you let her go, what will others think of you? Do you think that you are so cruel and unkind that you can't tolerate your benefactor? This time, I don't think Concubine Dong did anything wrong, if she let Princess Xiangxue go, even Yan Wangfu would be criticized. ”
Qiao Siwan smiled faintly and said, "Did I want her to save me?" ”
"It's not—" Sun Rouning remembered, indeed, "but she saved you anyway." ”
Qiao Siwan's expression was very ordinary, and she didn't have a very grateful look: "Have you ever thought about how she suddenly caught fire when she lived well in the post house?" Forget about the fire, where is she not going to take shelter for a while, and she has to come to our carriage? I don't blame her for bringing in the killer for the best, do I need to thank her for saving her life? ”
Sun Rouning was stunned: "You won't ...... Is it intentional to question Snow Xiang? ”
Intentions are not, the truth Mu Hongxue is not enough to take human life to find happiness, but Qiao Siwan always feels that the batch of killers is too coincidental, so coincidental that she has to be suspicious. What she and Jiang Chi said was a possibility, and a possibility was that some people wanted to use this fire and this assassination to send Mu Hongxue to the Yanwang Mansion. This guess is very bold, and before it is proven, I am afraid that no one will trust it, so Qiao Siwan does not want to say it to anyone. In this way, it is difficult to say whether Mu Hongxue knows the truth. If she knows the truth but enters the water, then her psychology has to be prevented, if she doesn't know, then she is just an innocent victim.
Regardless of the possibility, Qiao Siwan was determined to keep a proper distance from her.
"Anyway, you should go with me." Sun Rouning's rare confrontation.
"Why is that? Didn't the princess decide to stay? Qiao Siwan smiled.
Sun Rouning was stunned for a moment, and then realized that although Qiao Siwan said that she was staying at home, she already knew everything that happened inside, and she said, "How do you know that she stayed?" I didn't say that. ”
Qiao Siwan chuckled, and a faint coldness crossed her eyes: "Concubine Dong is so virtuous and generous, naturally she will not agree to let Princess Xiangxue go." Otherwise, how can this play be sung? ”
Sun Rouning showed an unbearable look on her face: "Wan'er, to tell you the truth, I don't think Mu Hongxue is the kind of woman with a complicated heart, she is really injured, and the injury is not light, and at the same time, she really wants to leave, if she pretends to be, she will not tear the wounds open." ”
"The wound is open?" Qiao Siwan was slightly surprised, and heard Sun Rouning say: "Will anyone in the world take their bodies to have fun for the sake of Bo Shou Trust?" Wan'er, I think you're too suspicious, if you don't believe it, take a look with me and you'll know. ”
Qiao Siwan sighed, got up from the chair, and handed it to Hongyu, "Go and get my cloak." ”
Qiao Siwan's mind strung together the events of yesterday, and after thinking about it over and over again, Si Xu had already arrived at the Furong Pavilion where Princess Xiangxue temporarily lived. Because of the identity of the princess, it is not good to allocate the general courtyard to her to live, Concubine Dong deliberately gave her the most beautiful and exquisite Furong Pavilion of Yanwangfu, which is the most suitable for people to recuperate and live in this Hibiscus Pavilion.
When she arrived at Furong Pavilion, Yahuan was already waiting outside the courtyard, and when she saw Qiao Siwan immediately stepped forward, Sun Rouning said, "Has the wound worsened?" ”
