Yun Zhao was imprisoned, and Jiang Qiao was exiled.

On the day Jiang Qiao was exiled, there was constant noise outside, leaving the palace prison and leaving Chang'an City, to pass through the regent's palace.

Jiang Wu heard the sound outside and walked out.

Jiang Qiao, who was arrogant in the past, was now wearing prison clothes and being locked in shackles, his hair was messy, and his face was embarrassed.

When Jiang Qiao was passing by, she glanced at Jiang Wu and saw Jiang Wu, her eyes widened, ignoring the guards on the left and right, and rushed forward, "Jiang Wu!" You slut! ”

Jiang Qiao's move came suddenly, and the guards were caught off guard and failed to stop it in time. When Jiang Qiao's hand was about to touch Jiang Wu, there was an extra force on her shoulder, pulling her over, avoiding Jiang Qiao's touch.

She looked up, "Your Highness." ”

Yun Rongjue lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Wu, his eyes were soft, and when he raised his eyes to look at Jiang Qiao, the softness was gone, and only coldness remained.

"Jiang Wu! Are you satisfied?! You're so happy! You're happy to see me fall to where I am now! ”

Jiang Wu looked at the emotional Jiang Qiao and said lightly: "I didn't think so." ”

Jiang Qiao sneered, "Jiang Wu, don't be pretending, it's you, it's you who hurt me like this!" You are jealous that your father only favored me in the past, and abandoned you and your mother and concubine, you are unwilling, and you want to calculate me everywhere! Well, you've made it now! ”

Jiang Wu breathed heavily, what her father did to her and her mother in the past was what she minded the most in her heart.

Yun Rongjue saw that the little girl's face was not good, and his eyes became even colder, "You and King Huai colluded with foreigners to rebel, you deserve it, and you dare to talk about it here and take her away!" Yun Rongjue scolded angrily.

Several guards dragged Jiang Qiao away.

Jiang Qiao turned his head as he walked, and his mouth was constantly scolding.

She is not reconciled!

Why, she ended up where she is today!

Finally, she got rid of her status as a slave and became the concubine of a prince! There should be a lifetime of glory! She negotiated with Qingzhao people on behalf of Yun Zhao, in order to get more glory!

Jiang Qiao's voice became farther and farther away, and Jiang Wu's tense emotions slowly relaxed.

"Let's go inside." Yun Rongjue whispered.

Jiang Wu nodded and followed into the mansion.

The little girl was frightened, and Yun Rongjue asked her to bring some refreshments that she loved to eat.

"You don't need to take her cathartic words to heart, it bothers yourself." He reassured.

Jiang Wu pursed his lips and nodded, "I know, it's just ......"

"Just what?" Yun Rongjue looked at her.

Jiang Wu's eyes trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but ask the question in his heart, "Is this really Jiang Qiao's doing?" ”

Yun Rongjue's eyes froze, "What?" Sister doesn't believe it? ”

Jiang Wu's little face had mixed emotions, "It's shock, she is arrogant in her life, but such a bold thing, Xiao Wu feels surprised, she will dare to do it." ”

"You also said that she was arrogant in her life, and besides, she was Yun Zhao's concubine, and with Yun Zhao behind her support, she didn't dare, and she dared."

Jiang Wu pursed her lips, Yun Rongjue's words made some sense, but for some reason, she always felt that this matter was a little strange.

But she couldn't tell what was strange.

Maybe it's too much of a coincidence.

However, this is no longer something she can ask and delve into.

The dust has settled on Yunzhao's affairs.

"Jue'er, your decision and approach this time is to kill two birds with one stone, not only to get rid of that girl, but also to take the opportunity to get rid of King Huai." Qin Xiangyou said.

Yun Rongjue chuckled, "Thanks to the help of the master, otherwise it wouldn't have gone so well." ”

Qin Xiangyou raised his head and smiled, and waved his hand, "Eh, the old man's little strength is nothing, but Jue'er, now this should be eliminated has been removed, and there are many fewer obstacles, but in the future, the Empress Dowager's side, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to deal with, and you have to be more careful." ”

Yun Rong Jue bowed his head, "Jue'er understands." ”

"Speaking of which, it fell on that girl in vain, and I also found the so-called creed in your house, Jue'er, your house is not clean, and you should pay attention to it." Qin Xiangyou nodded.

Yun Rongjue's eyes slowly sank, and his thin lips pulled upward, "Understood." ”

……

Yun Zhao's incident made Chu Yin dumb, and she was full of depression and couldn't vent.

"Empress Dowager, take a look, now the power of the regent is balanced with you, and now he is using this matter to eradicate King Huai, we originally wanted to use this matter to weaken the power of the regent, but I didn't expect that in the end, I made a wedding dress for others." Guan Yue sighed.

Chu Yin glanced at him, "Why do you need to sigh like this, Lord Guan." ”

Guan Yue let out a sneer, "The Empress Dowager, can the old minister not sigh, the current situation is obviously in favor of the regent, if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before the regent ascends the throne and takes power." ”

The chess pieces in Chu Yin's hand made a piercing sound.

"Lord Guan is confused, the regent will not have the day when he will ascend the throne, and the mourning family will not let that happen." She said in a deep voice.

Guan Yue pursed his lips, thought for a moment and then said slowly: "Hopefully, but ...... If there really is such a day...... The regent is on the throne, perhaps—"

"Tube, sir!" Chu Yin scolded and sneered, "Lord Guan wants to defect!" ”

Guan Yue opened his eyes, and Chu Yin continued: "Don't forget, Lord Guan, the promise of the mourning family, if the regent ascends the throne, Lord Guan thinks, can you have the status of being above 10,000 people under that person?" ”

"At present, the power of the mourning family and the regent is balanced, and the regent's attitude towards Lord Guan and you, you can also see it, he has no idea of reusing you, you want to defect, I'm afraid you won't even have your current status." Chu Yin said alarmedly.

Chu Yin's two sentences brought Guan Yue back to reality, Guan Yue eased his emotions, and bowed his head, "The old minister knows that the old minister will do his best for the Queen Mother." ”

Chu Yin dropped the chess pieces in his hand, "As long as he collapses and Jin'er succeeds to the throne smoothly, everything will be fine." ”

She didn't have the idea of letting Xiao Qijin succeed to the throne, after she and Xiao Qijin recognized each other, she wanted to live peacefully with his mother and son, and make up for the debt to Jin'er over the years, but now, she has no other choice and no way out.

Since there is no way out, then she has to help Jin'er take the position!

Guan Yue followed the chess pieces, he looked at Chu Yin's eyes with a little doubt, and couldn't help but speak, "Empress Dowager, forgive the old minister for asking more." ”

"If you have anything to say, just ask, just say it."

"This Xiao Qijin is the son of the Empress Dowager, and so is the regent, but the old minister looks at the Empress Dowager and only wants to support Xiao Qijin, who is also the flesh and blood of the Empress Dowager, the difference between the Empress Dowager and the two seems to be too obvious, in fact, no matter which of them sits in that position, the Empress Dowager, you, will not suffer." Guan Yue said.

A trace of disgust crossed Chu Yin's eyes.

"Lord Guan, you also know the temper and temperament of the regent, if he sits in that position and has great power, your status will not be as good as it is now, and you will mourn the family...... He is the son of the mourning family, but he cares more about the big position than the mourning family, so he will no longer put the mourning family in his eyes, and the mourning family supports such a person to take the position, which is not beneficial at all. ”

Guan Yue listened and nodded lightly.

It seems to be the truth.

Over the years, Yun Rongjue and Chu Yinmian seem to be as harmonious as mother and son, but in fact, there are many places where they contradict each other.

Xiao Qijin has no roots in Da Liang, only Chu Yin's support, and Yun Rongjue is different, he has a deep foundation, and he likes to seize power, Xiao Qijin is on the throne, for him, for Chu Yin, it is only beneficial and harmless.

Chu Yin glanced at the ground, and suddenly saw Xiao Qijin who came at some point, the seriousness on her face suddenly disappeared, and turned into a touch of softness, "Jin'er." ”

Guan Yue turned his head when he heard the sound, he was interested, put down the chess pieces in his hand, and stood up, "The Empress Dowager, the old minister will retire first." ”

Guan Yue left, passed by, and Xiao Qijin exchanged their heads and looked at each other.

"Jin'er is here," Chu Yin's face was gentle, "Caitang, quick, bring a bowl of bird's nest stewed in the small kitchen." ”

When the bird's nest was brought over, Chu Yin handed it to Xiao Qijin, "This bird's nest is the best, you can taste it." ”

Xiao Qijin smiled lightly, "Thank you Empress Dowager for your concern." ”

Xiao Qijin's unfamiliar sentence of the Empress Dowager made Chu Yin disappointed, although their mother and son recognized each other, Xiao Qijin's name for her has never changed.

"How's it going, is it still appetizing?" Chu Yin asked.

Xiao Qijin chuckled and nodded. Although he was not comfortable with the care that Chu Yin gave him, he did not deliberately reject it.

"I just came in and overheard the conversation between the Empress Dowager and Lord Guan." He spoke up.

Chu Yin paused with a smile on his face, "Jin'er heard it." ”

"I heard something, the Empress Dowager, it is the right choice for you to support the regent to ascend the throne." Xiao Qijin said.

Chu Yin frowned when he heard this, "He is not worthy." The disgusted words Chu Yin blurted out.

Xiao Qijin had a trace of doubt in his eyes, "The regent is the first emperor's own brother, and he is excellent in literature and martial arts, and the empress dowager has repeatedly belittled the regent, why." ”

Chu Yin took a deep breath, still not meaning to say more and explain more.

Xiao Qijin looked at Chu Yin like this, and his heart became suspicious, so he couldn't help but want to find out the reason.

————

Winter has passed, ushering in spring, this year's spring seems to be more prosperous than in previous years, and the flowers are blooming more gorgeous than in previous years.

In early spring, Jiang Wu and Nanfu would always pick some flowers and fruits together to make flower cakes and fruit cakes.

However, in the past two days, Jiang Wu went to the yard to pick, but he didn't see Nanfu's figure. Come to think of it, it seems that I haven't seen her in days.

"Sister Suimiao, why haven't you seen Nanfu these days?" She asked about picking the seedlings together. 520

When several maidservants next to Sui Miao heard Jiang Wu's question, their faces changed slightly.

"What's wrong? Sister Suimiao, is Xiaonan unwell? She asked curiously.

Sui Miao picked the fruit, with a deliberate smile on her face, she shook her head, "No, she, no discomfort." ”

Jiang Wu felt even more strange, "Then why haven't I seen her in the past few days, and I haven't seen her in the past two days picking flowers and fruits, Xiao Nan was the most active in previous years." ”

Sui Miao's lips tugged, trying to change the conversation, "Xiao Wu, this fruit is full of juice at a glance, let's pick more." ”

Sui Miao's dodge made Jiang Wu notice something strange, "Sister Sui Miao, don't hide it from Xiao Wu, is something wrong with Xiao Nan?!" ”

"Nope!" Suimiao hurriedly denied it, "She...... She's fine, how could something happen. ”

"Is that something at home?" Otherwise, how could Xiao Nan not be seen for several days.

"Sister Suimiao, these are almost these, let's take them first." One of them interjected, Suimiao took the conversation, and after saying a word to Jiang Wu, he left with the basket.

Sui Miao deliberately dodged, which made Jiang Wu deeply confused.

But she refused to say it, and she was helpless.

"Why are you so preoccupied?" Yun Rongjue supported her forehead with one hand, held the little girl's little hand with the other, looked at the little girl and asked.

Jiang Wufan pursed her lips, "I haven't seen Xiao Nan in the past few days, these two days are the time to pick fresh fruits and flowers, in the past, Xiao Nan was the most active to pick with me, but I haven't seen her in the past two days." ”

Yun Rongjue's eyes paused slightly, but soon, the emotions in his eyes dissipated, "Yes." He whispered, as if he wasn't interested.

"Your Highness, do you know where Xiao Nan has gone? Did you leave the house because of something? ”

Yun Rongjue sat up straight, relieved his breath, and then took the oranges in the fruit bowl on the table, and peeled the orange peel little by little, "It seems that the person in charge has said it, it seems that there is something at home to go back." ”

After he finished speaking, he brushed the peeled orange away and handed it to the little girl.

Jiang Wu nodded suddenly, "Xiao Nan's grandmother was sick before, and her health has been bad, if Xiao Nan goes back, I'm afraid it's probably because of her grandmother." ”

Yun Rongjue snorted, "So, you don't have to worry too much." ”

Hearing Yun Rongjue say this, Jiang Wu's heart relaxed a little.

But three days later, Jiang Wu didn't see Nanfu come back.

Counting the days, Nanfu has been away for nearly ten days, and it was only three days for Nanfu to leave the house to take care of her grandmother, but this time, it was so long.

Could it be that something is going on?

Jiang Wu fiddled with the jewelry box, suddenly!

Seeing the white exposed under the red case inside the box, she calmed down, stretched out her hand and twisted it, and there was a note pressed under the red case.

"What is this?" Curious, she picked it up and spread it out and looked at it.

With just one glance, her breath was heavy.

Jiang Wu stood up in a panic, and he didn't have time to take care of what he was doing.

This is a note that Xiao Nan wrote to her!

The note was just a simple sentence.

- Xiao Wu: I'm sorry, goodbye.

The bottom is named Nanfu.

is so dignified, how could Xiao Nan leave her such a note.

Thinking that Nanfu was not in the house these days, she asked Suimiao about them, and they looked at him left and right, and a bad premonition came to her heart.

Xiao Nan must have had an accident!

Jiang Wu didn't care much and rushed out of the room. She's going to find someone to ask for clarification!

Jiang Wu hurried through the corridor and suddenly heard the whispered discussion between the two people passing by her.

- The backyard prison will execute a person who makes a mistake.

The prison, the one who makes mistakes......

Could it be...... Xiao Nan ......

Jiang Wu's face turned pale when he thought of this possibility.

The Regent's Mansion has its own prison, and Jiang Wu knows it, but this prison has always been vacant and has not been locked up.

But now there is, and it's so coincidental.

Jiang Wu hurriedly ran towards the backyard prison.

She ran in a hurry, and bumped into a small guy on the way, who was holding something in her hand, and saw Jiang Wu almost subconsciously avoiding it.

However, Jiang Wu still saw it, and on the red lacquer plate in the little guy's hand was a white silk, as well as a dagger and a bottle of things.

"Are you going to the prison?!" Jiang Wu grabbed the little guy when he was about to leave.

"Miss Jiang Wu, let go, I still have important things to do."

"Tell me if you're going to the prison! Is Nanfu locked up in a prison cell! She asked hurriedly.

However, the little guy was very strict, and he threw Jiang Wu away with a hard flick and left in a hurry.

Jiang Wu was just about to catch up when a voice sounded, and at the same time, a pair of hands grabbed her.

"Jiang Wu."

It's Jiang Sumo.

"Princess."

"Princess, the slave still has something to do." She said a word and was about to leave.

Jiang Sumo grabbed her tightly, "Xiao Wu, what are you going to do, let's go, I just have something to tell you." ”

Jiang Wu didn't have any thoughts now, "Princess, the slave and maid really have something important, and it will be too late if you don't go!" ”

If the people in the prison are really Xiao Nan, then Xiao Nan will be executed!

She doesn't know what happened and why Xiao Nan was locked up, but no matter why, she must save Xiao Nan!

"There's something important in this mansion that makes you so anxious." Jiang Sumo deliberately delayed.

Jiang Wu was anxious, "Princess, please let go!" In the prison...... It's too late! ”

Jiang Sumo's eyes flickered, "Are you going to the prison?" Nonsense, not to mention that there is no one in that place, even if there is, it is not where you should go, if Your Highness knows, you will be angry. ”

Jiang Wu looked at Jiang Sumo's eyes, and her pink lips trembled slightly, "Princess, you know, right?" ”

Jiang Sumo pursed his lips and did not respond.

The two were at a stalemate, Jiang Wu kept pleading, Jiang Sumo frowned, clasped Jiang Wu's hand, and unconsciously let go.

Seeing this, Jiang Wu immediately ran away.

"Catch up with her!" Fu Dong hurriedly shouted.

"Stop chasing." Jiang Sumo sighed lightly.

Fu Dong looked at it and was puzzled, "But Your Highness has explained it...... If His Highness blames it, how can it be good? ”

Jiang Sumo looked at the direction in which Jiang Wu hurriedly ran away, "It's a foregone conclusion, she can't change anything, they are friends, and she should give her a ride." ”

……

Jiang Wu hurriedly arrived at the prison cell, there were guards guarding the door of the prison, and she rushed inside regardless of it.

The guards in the prison wanted to stop her, but they were afraid of hurting her and provoking Yun Rongjue's blame, so they went back and forth, allowing Jiang Wu to sneak in.

When Jiang Wu rushed in, he saw Nanfu holding the bottle in his hand and was about to raise his head to drink it!

"Don't!" She stepped forward, reached out and patted the medicine down.

"Xiao Wu?" Nanfu was surprised to see Jiang Wu.

"Miss Jiang Wu, this, why are you here! It's better to leave quickly, or Your Highness will be to blame. The little guy looked panicked, he didn't expect Jiang Wu to really follow here, and he broke in!

"Xiao Nan, what the hell is going on! Why are they locking you up, ......?"

Jiang Wu's breathing was heavy, thinking that as long as he was one step too late just now, he would no longer be able to return to the sky.

"Girl, this is your Highness's order." The little guy said.

"Xiao Nan didn't do anything wrong, why should he do this? Even if it's wrong, what is wrong, it must be her life! Jiang Wu asked.

"Xiao Wu!" Nanfu raised her voice and looked at Jiang Wu's eyes, with deep emotion, "Xiao Wu, I did something wrong and should be punished, I am very happy to see you again before this." ”

She really regards Jiang Wu as a good friend.

It's a pity......
