Chapter Seventy-Three: The Death of the Countess
Qu Yan didn't know that Yuna's voice was recognized by Yuna, and she had to go to the county king's mansion to talk to Ning Xin the next day, but she was robbed not long after she went out.
The subordinates didn't stop the robbers, and hurriedly went back to find the old lady, while Qu Yan was directly tied to a suburban Zhuangzi.
Jiang Ziyu did not come forward, but sent a few shadow guards who did not often show their faces, and did not ask anything, but just returned Yuna's injuries little by little.
The first thing to move was Qu Yan's face, how much Yuna was injured, Jiang Ziyu ordered Ying Wei to return it twice, and she didn't plan to let Qu Yan die, it would be too cheap for her.
Qu Yan disappeared, and the first person the Qu family looked for was the Seventh Prince, Nan Chenqing. Qu Yan's father is a foreign official, who only came to the capital a few years ago to serve, but he is only a fourth-grade official or an idle position. Moreover, in the place where the capital is full of royal families, the four-rank officials are really inconspicuous.
"Yan'er went out with you yesterday and disappeared today, so let someone find her." Qu Mu was full of anxiety and walked back and forth in the main hall of the palace, Nan Chenqing frowned slightly-I didn't expect Jiang Ziyu to move so quickly.
"The Son of Heaven dares to rob people on the street at his feet, what kind of system is this." Father Qu slapped the table, obviously angry. Their family has a concubine, who is still the former princess, he likes this daughter the most, and now that his daughter has an accident, he is angry.
Nan Chenqing felt a little bitter in his heart, and he promised never to interfere in this matter.
"There are not many guards in the Chenqing Mansion, I'm afraid I'm looking for ...... Also looking for a needle in a haystack. Nan Chenqing lowered her eyes and refused, and when Qu Mu heard this, her face immediately changed, and she scolded angrily: "What do you mean? You mean you don't want to look for it? It's good that Yan'er is also your former princess, a husband and wife for a hundred days, how can you be so ruthless? Yes, now that you are going to marry Princess Beiyi, you naturally don't look down on my sister-in-law. But don't forget, how did you ask to marry my sister-in-law in the first place? β
"I'm not ......" Nan Chenqing was in a hurry to argue, Qu Mu waved her hand and shouted: "If it's not, why don't you send someone to find it?" How can you say that you are also a prince, it shouldn't be difficult to go to Shuntianfu to quietly transfer people, no matter how bad it is...... No matter how bad it is, there is still the Forbidden King's Mansion, you have such a good relationship with the Forbidden King, why is it difficult to borrow some people from him? β
Nan Chenqing couldn't say anything about the bitterness in her heart, so she sat in the chair and didn't speak.
Seeing him like this, Qu Mu sneered: "The Seventh Prince really forgot his old love when he had a new love, but I heard that Princess Nayuna was kidnapped by gangsters yesterday and came back injured, and it is difficult to guarantee that she is still not innocent." β
Qu's mother's words reminded Qu's father, "Yesterday's Yuna was robbed, and today is Yan'er, is there anything to do with this?" β
"It shouldn't be Yuna's little slut who sent someone to rob her, by the way, it must be her!" The more Qu Mu thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, so she turned around and was about to go to the Forbidden Palace.
Nan Chenqing hurriedly stopped her and said, "Yuna has no power and no power in Beijing, how can someone kidnap Yan'er?" Is it easy to go to the Forbidden King's Mansion? Let's sit down first. β
Qu Mu shook her hand, feeling that Nan Chenqing was a little guilty, and said with a snort: "Who doesn't know that the forbidden princess spoils that little slut of the foreign race, and she raises people to the palace." The princess who has been close to her since ancient times, which is not a post station to live in, she is special. β
"Besides, it's a forbidden palace, what's wrong with it, the forbidden princess is just a teenage baby, I'm still afraid that she won't make it?"
Nan Chenqing couldn't stop people, Qu's mother and Qu's father had already walked to the door, but they saw Jiang Ziyu coming over.
Jiang Ziyu was wearing a lilac long dress, with a rare delicate bun on his head, and Zipo and Xingyu followed behind him, looking at the shelf.
"Third Emperor Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Nan Chenqing had to pretend to be a face, Jiang Ziyu squinted, there was no emotion in his eyes, and walked straight inside, saying: "I'll come to go for the prince today, and allow the seventh prince to recuperate in the mansion in the past few days." β
Nan Chenqing knew that this was the emperor's brother and sister-in-law who deliberately supported him, so she didn't say anything, and nodded slightly.
"Forbidden princess? You came just in time, my sister-in-law is missing, and I beg you and the prince to come forward to help find someone. Qu Mu changed her arrogant momentum just now, and lowered her posture at this time. But the tone is not very respectful, and it looks like an order.
Jiang Ziyu hooked his lips and chuckled, not caring about Qu Mu's attitude at all, and said: "This matter should be notified to Shuntianfu, if someone loses it, he won't report it to the official, and he will talk about the old feelings here?" β
Qu Mu was speechless, and was stunned for a long time before she spoke: "This, don't you know that Yan'er has been kidnapped, where is there a reputation when this is spread?" β
Jiang Ziyu snorted coldly and said lightly: "Then the two of you will keep your reputation." "What they think is simple, Qu Yan was arrested on the street, how can they hide it if they want to?
Originally, Jiang Ziyu came to tell Nan Chenqing not to meddle in this matter, but it was hard to say at the moment, so he could only remind him euphemistically. Seeing that he understood, he didn't stay long, turned around and got into the carriage and went back to the house.
"What does this mean by forbidden princess?" Mother Qu looked at her back and was stunned for a long time, Nan Chenqing gritted her teeth and said solemnly: "Uncle and aunt, please go back, I really can't do my request." β
Qu Mu turned around and wanted to scold, but Nan Chenqing had already raised her feet and walked out of the palace, Qu Yan was at fault in this matter, and Jiang Ziyu was so protective, even if he went to intercede, it would only make her more angry, it was better to just wait, she ...... You won't really kill Qu Yan.
"Princess, someone from the Jiang family said that you would like to come over to the house." Zipo whispered outside, Jiang Ziyu lowered her eyes and was a little puzzled - what else did the Jiang family look for her? Isn't it already torn in the face?
She thought that there was nothing to do, and it was still too early to go and see what they were going to do, "Go and see." β
Zi Po responded and walked to the Jiang family's new residence in a carriage, the Jiang family's new house was far less atmospheric than the Prime Minister's Mansion, but with Jiang Mao's current position, it was reluctant to live in such a house.
Jiang Mao was not at home, but Mrs. Jiang wanted to see her. Jiang Ziyu didn't say anything about this, just sat in the main hall and listened to Mrs. Jiang lightly.
"It's a long journey, drink some tea and rest." Mrs. Jiang said with a smile, as if she had completely forgotten the grievances of the past.
Jiang Ziyu was just about to take a sip of the teapot, when she smelled the strange smell of the tea, she cautiously put the teacup aside, leaned back in the chair with her hands around her chest, and asked in a tone of voice: "What is Madam looking for me for?" β
"It's not that I want to see you, it's a friend who wants to see you." With a strange smile in her eyes, Madame Jiang rushed out of the side hall as soon as she finished speaking.
Because the hall was full of women, Zipo had been guarding outside, and the countess came out suddenly, but Jiang Ziyu's ability was not vegetarian, and he immediately dodged a knife on one side of his head.
The countess slashed at Jiang Ziyu with a dagger like crazy, Jiang Ziyu unhurriedly controlled the dagger with heavenly silk, she watched coldly, and the countess was still scolding angrily in her mouth: "You slut!" Give back my son's life! β
Jiang Ziyu saw that the countess's face was a little wrong, and his eyes were also sloppy, and the dagger was snatched away with a slight effort, and he felt strange in his heart, and he didn't plan to stay here for a long time, so he snatched the dagger and turned around and walked out.
Where is Mrs. Jiang willing to let her go, if she leaves, this scene will not be able to continue. So he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Ziyu: "The Countess will inevitably be a little crazy when she loses her beloved son, don't forget to go in your heart, hurry, sit down again." β
Seeing that she was so attentive, Jiang Ziyu felt that something was wrong, and shook off Mrs. Jiang with all his might: "No need." β
Zipo also felt abnormal outside, and hurriedly came in to escort the princess out, and at this time the countess began to foam at the mouth, and Mrs. Jiang secretly said that it was not good to reach out and pull Jiang Ziyu to push her in.
While everyone was at a stalemate, a secret weapon suddenly appeared outside, and this dart went straight into the countess's head, and the personβimmediately died.
"Princess, there are assassins, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go home." Zipo took the opportunity to say a word, and directly escorted Jiang Ziyu out of the mansion.
Mrs. Jiang looked at this scene with some astonishment, what was going on? Where did the people really kill the Countess? However, before she could react, another dart came in, and the teacup that Jiang Ziyu had just placed on the table that had not moved was instantly torn apart.
The tea inside flowed all over the table, and the water was covered with a layer of white foam.
Jiang Ziyu sat in the carriage and his mind was chaotic, and he finally calmed down and figured out the cause and effect of everything just now.
"Zipo, when you go to Dali Temple, you will say that an assassin assassinated the countess in the Jiang family, and asked him to send someone to investigate."
Zi Po was a little worried, and said in a low voice: "But you ...... princess"
"I'm fine, I still know the assassin just now." Jiang Ziyu frowned, there was only one person who could appear around her quietly.
Zipo heard her say this, so she had no choice but to respond, Jiang Ziyu and Xingyu both got out of the carriage and prepared to walk back to the palace. Zi broke the carriage and went to Dali Temple.
"It's really strange just now, Mrs. Jiang saw that something had happened to the countess, and the expression on her face was extremely complicated, as if she ...... It's the same thing. Xingyu said suspiciously.
Jiang Ziyu frowned and thought deeply when he heard this, looking at Mrs. Jiang's behavior just now, she should be to blame her for some things. What does that weird-tasting cup of tea do?
The most strange thing for her was why Baili Lin appeared there so coincidentally. Thinking of this, Jiang Ziyu suddenly paused, and suddenly turned back and looked around.
"Princess, what's wrong?" Xingyu also looked back left and right, and there was nothing strange about it.
Jiang Ziyu shook his head, didn't see the white-clothed figure, and said lightly: "It's okay, let's go back." β
Baili Lone, who had just been hiding in the distance, resurfaced again, looking at Jiang Ziyu's gaze and not daring to stay for too long, if her gaze stayed on her for too long, she would definitely find out.
"This little girl...... It's really, it's so hard to track. β
Baili Lin had a gentle smile, he was just about to turn to leave, he found a chill behind him, he turned around and looked at an unexpected person, that person's face was full of frost, and the momentum around him seemed to be overwhelming.
