Chapter 287: Surprised
When I woke up, it was already dawn, and I heard that the scene outside was no different from the previous days, and the turmoil last night passed so quietly.
Whispered to Youbai, but it was Jiang Li who came in. Right now, she has taken off the silver-white armor, but she is not wearing the clothes that were common only worn by secret guard women in the past, but extremely ordinary maid outfits like Youbai and Errong.
Although the clothes have changed, the people have become more and more beautiful.
"How's it going out there?"
Seeing that it was Jiang Li who came in, Yan Su didn't feel strange, and asked directly about the situation outside the mansion.
"There were fights at the four gates in the south, east, west, and north, but only the two gates in the southeast were men in black, and the remaining two were like newly assembled ruffians. The battle lasted for two hours, and according to Xiangye's orders, the defenders controlled the thieves at the gate of the city, and none of them were allowed to enter the city. β
"Where's inside the city?"
"Except for our prime minister's house, there is basically no chaos, but there is also an unexpected situation."
"What's the situation?"
"Some officials did not know where they heard the news and tried to take advantage of the civil unrest to flee with their family belongings, but they were caught by soldiers patrolling the city. Xiangye didn't come back in time, he was dealing with these things. β
"Is there a change in the palace?"
"Yes." Jiang Li nodded lightly: "It's related to Concubine Yun." β
Why is it still Yan Muyun?
Yan Suwen closed his eyes slightly, and said in his heart, when will this name be bypassed.
"Concubine Yun did something stupid in the palace?"
"No, she's dead."
"Dead?" Yan Suwen opened his eyes suddenly: "How did you die?" This thief can't even attack the Prime Minister's Mansion, and this deep palace inner garden can't even enter, right? As long as she is good and doesn't die, the emperor won't move her openly on the thin face of the Gu Yan family, how could she die? β
"I died to save the third lady." Jiang Li replied lightly: "Madame should know." The third lady was not missing, but was deliberately abducted. The person who kidnapped the third lady should be Ying Hanshi, the shopkeeper of the bookstore. They kidnapped the third young lady, and I don't know what method they used, erased the memory of the third young lady, and arranged for people to send them to the palace. originally thought that they arranged for the third lady to enter the palace, and the purpose was the same as sending Concubine Yun into the palace, all to find out the news, and by the way, to block the lady and Xiangye. But it wasn't until last night that we knew that the real purpose of their arrangement for the third miss to enter the palace was to use the third miss to kill people. The third lady is a puppet killer controlled by them. β
"Puppet killers." Yan Suwen silently recited these four words.
When Yan Mutong disappeared, she had already sensed that something was wrong, and later learned that she was sent to the palace, and she knew that there must be a conspiracy behind it. It's just that there were too many things that happened later, and she didn't have time to enter the palace to see Yan Mutong, and she didn't have time to think about it deeply, so these things happened in front of her. At the end of the day, she ignored it.
"Third sister, did she assassinate the emperor?"
"It's not the emperor, it's the queen and the prince." Jiang Li paused slightly, waiting for Yan Suwen to accept what he said earlier: "The third lady was controlled by the whistle, and directly entered the queen's palace, and snatched the little prince from the nurse, if it wasn't for Yun Guifei to appear in time, the third miss is afraid that the little prince would have been killed." β
"If the crown prince dies, even if the third sister is controlled by others, my Yan family will not be able to escape the involvement. Even if the emperor takes care of the old feelings and is angry, he will inevitably let the Yan family be buried with him. Although I am the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, I am also the daughter of the Yan family, and when the time comes, I am afraid that Xiangye will also be caught in the middle, which is very difficult. The sin and the Yan family, speaking of which, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong, but now there is only my eldest brother left in my eldest uncle's family, and those who are involved behind it are actually people who have nothing to do with the third sister. It's really going to be implicated, and it's really a bit wronged. β
"Yun Guifei is afraid that she also figured out the joints in her head, so she risked her death and went to the queen's palace, and when she was in danger, she saved the little prince with herself. Although the third lady is guilty, when she entered the palace, she used not Yan Mutong's name, and her identity was not the third girl of the Yan family. In addition, Concubine Yun sacrificed her life to save the prince, and the merits and demerits were offset, the emperor and the queen did not intend to pursue the Yan family, but also ordered to bury Yan Muyun with the gift of the concubine. β
"If the emperor and the queen don't pursue the Yan family, they must be pursuing the official who sent the third sister to the palace."
"Yes, he had an affair with Ying Hanshi, there was no direct evidence, even if the emperor and the queen knew it in their hearts, but if there was no matter of the third girl as a reason, it would be difficult for the emperor to take him as a Beijing official. Anyone who can achieve a fourth-grade official or above in the capital is not involved in a force, but behind this force, there are more interests involved. It is extremely difficult to move people and move them, but it is extremely difficult to move these forces and the interests involved behind them. β
"I don't understand what you're saying, but I think it's a bit sudden. When I lay down last night, it wasn't that I didn't think about the things in the palace, I just felt ...... It's just that the world is impermanent, maybe this is the real life, anytime, anywhere, full of variables. β
"Madameβ"
"I'm fine. What about Ying Hanshi, did you catch it? β
"Nope." Jiang Li added: "But there is a situation, Jiang Li also heard it from others. β
"What?"
"Ying Hanshi kidnapped the emperor and asked him why he didn't save Princess Hehui back then."
"What did the emperor answer?"
"I don't know, no one knows, I only know that Ying Hanshi released the emperor, and the emperor didn't ask anyone to continue chasing him, so he disappeared from the palace so calmly."
"The knot is difficult to knot, but it is easy to knot, the key is whether the method is right. The emperor is not the kind of faint monarch who has no brains, he knows that the person behind this curtain is Ying Hanshi, who was the Hehui master back then, and he must also know where this horse master's heart is. β
"What if you know? Princess Kazue is dead. There is no resurrection from death. β
"At least I'm calm." Yan Su asked looking at the scenery not far away: "Is this the growth of people?" To be honest, it's quite long, if there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, and there are no major diseases, almost all of them can live to be more than 70. Especially when you encounter difficulties, you feel that the day is really difficult, and no matter how you survive, it seems that you can't get through it. But is life really long? Even if you can live to 70, you won't have more than 30,000 days. To use a cheesy analogy, it would be as if I had given you 30,000 taels of silver now, and when that box of silver came to you, you would feel like a lot, and you were about to get rich, as if you couldn't spend it all. But if you really spend it, you will find that the 30,000 taels of silver are really not spent, and they have been used up before they are used. Life is actually no different from this silver. β
"Madame, this metaphor is very novel."
"When I saw Xiangye last night, I knew that you didn't betray Xiangye, nor did you betray our Xiangfu. You are indeed the emperor's eyeliner, but over the years, you have not done anything to be sorry for Xiangye. I put myself in my shoes, if it were me, I was afraid that I would not be able to handle it better than you. Jiang Li, you have worked hard all these years. β
"Ma'am." Jiang Li's eyes were full of things.
"We all know that you like Yunfei, and we also know that Yunfei likes you in his heart. It's just that this kid is using the wrong method. He thinks that he is making things difficult for you and deliberately targeting you, and you will know that you are different in his heart. But facts have proved that his way of showing favor is difficult for ordinary girls to accept. Now, I just want to ask you a word, would you like to go to Kucheng and be with Yunfei. β
Jiang Li first pursed her lips and said nothing, then looked up at Yan Su and asked, "If Mrs. just asked me if I was willing, Jiang Li's answer was yes." But what if you are willing? He is now a general personally rewarded by the imperial court, but Jiang Li is a secret guard with a killer background, and he lives in the dark and cannot see the light. If it is known in the future that the lady he Gu Yunfei married is a killer, what should he do? At present, he is protected by Xiangye, but Xiangye can't protect him for the rest of his life. If Jiang Li marries Gu Yunfei, she will become a stain on Gu Yunfei in the future, the kind that can be used as a target and stabbed blood. β
"Then let's change my identity." Yan Suwen pinched his shoulder: "Are you willing to be my sister?" β
"Sister?" Jiang Li was stunned.
"You also know the situation of my third sister. Although she is controlled by others, the emperor and the queen will never let her go easily. Even if she is spared, she is afraid that she will not see the light of day for the rest of her life. Moreover, she entered the palace under the name of someone else, in this world, except for a few of us, I'm afraid no one knows that this concubine next to the emperor is the third lady of my Yan family. Our Yan family still lacks a third miss, a third miss who has been closed for many years. β
"Madame meanβ"
"Although my third sister has a bad reputation, it was more than two years ago, there are many things in Yecheng, and after so many chaos, I am afraid that there are few people who can remember. If you are willing, you will take the name of Yan Mutong, this identity, and marry as the third lady of my Yan Mansion, the cousin of the Prime Minister's wife. This identity, not to mention how glamorous it is, is still enough for him Gu Yunfei. β
"Madame!" Jiang Li was rarely excited, and knelt down all of a sudden: "Jiang Li thank you, Mrs., Jiang Li is willing." β
"You still call me Madame?"
"Tong'er has seen my sister." Jiang Li fell to the ground and said softly in a voice.
"From now on, in this world, there will be no secret guard Jiang Li. On the emperor's side, I will let Xiangye say it. When this matter is over, I will prepare for you as a sister and send you to marry. As for the days after you come to Kucheng, I won't help you calculate. I believe that you can take care of yourself and Yunfei, and you can also help Yunfei to defend the reservoir city. β
