Chapter 18: Brother and Sister Talk

That night, Nan Huaifeng did not go to Yongchun Courtyard, but spent the night in the study, and still entered the palace early the next day.

"Princess, the second son is here." Liuying ran in to deliver the message, and Jiang Ziyu asked suspiciously, "Second son?" You say Jiang Yibai? ”

"Yes." Liuying nodded, Jiang Ziyu asked people to invite him in, what was Jiang Yibai doing here at this time?

Jiang Yibai carried two pots of wine in his left hand, and entered the house with the wrapped food in his right hand, and Jiang Ziyu also prepared refreshments and fruits in Qingyu Pavilion.

"Your yard is remote enough." Jiang Yibai put down his things, and then sat down in the chair.

Jiang Ziyuping retreated from the people around him and said, "I'm used to it." ”

Jiang Yibai thought that what she said was that she lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion and was remote, so she got used to it, and didn't think much about it. Instead, he saw the wound on his sister's wrist and sat up straight, and asked solemnly, "How did you get it?" ”

Jiang Ziyu followed his gaze and glanced at his wrist, and said indifferently: "Oh, I met an assassin when I was sacrificing to the sky, and I was a little injured. ”

"You're too careless, you should take care of yourself more in everything." Jiang Yibai's eyes were a little distressed, and Jiang Ziyu chuckled: "Well, I know." Why is the second brother here today? ”

Jiang Yibai stretched out his hand to open the wine, then opened all the food and poured a glass of wine for Jiang Ziyu.

"You should know about the recent rumors in the capital, and you also led people to surround the Drunken Immortal Tower for this matter." Jiang Yibai poured wine and said, Jiang Ziyu nodded in response, this is indeed a fact.

"Now that there are more and more rumors, and many people are talking about them in private, how are you going to deal with them?" The places he has been going to all year round are full of three religions and nine streams, and it is too easy to ask for some news.

Jiang Ziyuyun sipped the wine lightly, and replied nonchalantly: "If you want to say it, let them say it, I don't care about this." ”

"But have you ever wondered what if this is a conspiracy?" Jiang Yibai looked at her cautiously, as if he wanted to remind her of something.

Jiang Ziyu's eyes rolled slightly, and his eyes were a little more cautious: "It's strange to say, when the monk died in the palace, Nan Huaifeng ordered that no one was allowed to spread the word, but Jiang Xue still knew." ”

Jiang Yibai nodded, sandwiched a piece of duck meat for her, and said: "Sometimes you have to take a long-term view, don't just focus on the small in front of you. ”

"Second brother, do you know something?" Jiang Ziyu stared at him with a few hints of consideration in his eyes, and Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Your second brother is a bastard, what can you know?" It's just that I just learned a few words from my eldest brother yesterday, and I scared you. ”

Jiang Ziyu exhaled lightly, she knew that Jiang Yibai was by no means as simple as it seemed, but if he didn't want to expose it, she wouldn't continue to ask, she was not the one who had to get to the bottom of everything.

"One more thing, I heard that King Rui is coming back."

Jiang Ziyu was puzzled and asked rhetorically, "Who is King Rui?" ”

"Rui Wang Nan Zhenyi is the son of the current Queen Mother, the fifth prince of the dynasty. When the first emperor died of illness, he was suspected of having something to do with him, Nan Huaifeng was furious and led his troops back to Beijing, and at this time there was news from the palace that King Rui was also sick, and the Queen Mother took charge of sending King Rui to the south to recuperate. “

Jiang Yibai told Jiang Ziyu everything about three years ago, Jiang Ziyu thought quietly, and then slowly spoke: "The first emperor, who is Nan Huaifeng's brother, was killed by someone?" ”

"Of course, otherwise, how could the first emperor die suddenly for no reason when he was strong and strong just after his establishment? The son of the first emperor was not spared, and you have seen that sick body. Jiang Yibai lowered his voice very low, these things were just silent and stopped talking, and they couldn't be discussed at all.

Jiang Ziyu tapped the table, recalling the reminder of the ancient book in the emperor's medical treatment space that day: "The poison in the emperor is not an ordinary poison, but a poison. Raise the poison on the host, with the host's flesh and blood essence as an offering, this thing needs to be poisoned day by day, and the tumor behind the emperor has indeed been raised for a long time, but it is very easy to treat, which proves that this poison cannot be given to the emperor every day. ”

Jiang Yibai had these curiosity in his eyes, and then thought that it was not strange that she was a disciple of Moxu and knew how to heal, so he dispelled the doubts in his heart.

"And during the period when Nan Huaifeng and I got married, someone once used medicine to hook a poisonous hair. The purpose of the person who poisoned the emperor must be to die, but there are thousands of chances, why not? Jiang Ziyu scratched her head, only to feel that the water in this matter was much deeper than she had seen.

"If the emperor dies now, who do you think will ascend the throne?" Jiang Yibai did not answer her directly, but used a rhetorical question. But this is enough to make Jiang Ziyu understand that the people behind him don't want Nan Huaifeng to ascend the throne, so they have been dragging the emperor's illness.

This person knows Nan Huaifeng very well, and knows that if the emperor does not die one day, he will definitely not snatch the throne, so he hangs the emperor's life.

"That's it, these things are all things that Nan Huaifeng has to deal with, and they have nothing to do with me." Jiang Ziyu shook her head, she just promised to help Nan Huaifeng manage the backyard, she couldn't interfere in these things, and she didn't want to interfere.

"You're his princess." If something happened to Nan Huaifeng, she wouldn't be able to escape, Jiang Yibai was vaguely reminding her.

Jiang Ziyu cut off disdainfully, remembering what Nan Huaifeng said to her yesterday, and said coolly: "I can't be a princess for long, she has a sweetheart." ”

Jiang Yibai's eyes tightened when he heard this, and he asked sullenly, "So is he using you to protect that woman now?" ”

"Not really, who knows." Jiang Ziyu didn't care, Jiang Yibai looked at her worriedly, why was this sister of her so stupid?

Jiang Ziyu was leisurely drinking wine and eating meat, and Jiang Yibai looked at her and seemed to be hesitating in her heart.

"Sixth sister, how do you think people should live?" Jiang Yibai was a little dazed, Jiang Ziyu obviously didn't understand what he was asking for, and looked at him suspiciously.

"How do you live?"

Jiang Ziyu is also thinking about this problem, she only thought about how to live in her previous life, as for the way of living, it doesn't matter, whether she survives or calculates, even if she has the blood of her compatriots on her hands, she can't care about it, only living is her only thought.

But now......

"If it were me, I would like to live a life of wanton style." Jiang Ziyu said this with stars in her eyes, which was her extravagant hope and her lifelong untouchable dream.

Jiang Yibai lowered his head in a deep voice, and the corners of his hidden mouth hooked an unknown wry smile.

"Princess, the Qi Palace's Mansion sent someone to send something." A guard walked over with a box in his hand, Jiang Ziyu stared at the box silently, Zi Po, who was guarding outside the pavilion, stepped forward to open the box, turned around and said, "Princess, the ointment sent by the Seventh Prince, and a letter." ”

Jiang Ziyu raised his eyebrows almost invisibly, and the King of Qi is the Seventh Prince? The white-clothed boy in the drunken immortal building that day?

Zipo handed over the letter, Jiang Ziyu opened it and didn't say anything else, just introduced the effect of the ointment. She folded the letter casually and instructed lightly, "Put the things down." ”

The guard bowed his head and answered, handed the box and letter to Zipo and hurriedly retreated, Jiang Yibai looked at her curiously: "Do you know the Seventh Prince?" ”

"Sort of, we've had a drink together." Jiang Ziyu wasn't sure if this was an acquaintance, and he didn't know what the purpose of the ointment he was sending was here.

Jiang Yibai chuckled and said: "This seventh prince is a rather interesting person, he married the princess early, but he prefers to go out and drink with fox friends and dogs. Outsiders say that he doesn't like the princess so much, but he never drinks flower wine and refuses to take concubines and cypriots, you are not surprised. ”

"The world, why is it strange?" Jiang Ziyu knew that he was reminding her that the Seventh Prince had a princess, and asked her to stay away so as not to cause trouble.

Jiang Yibai was relieved when she heard it, the seventh princess was very impatient, and it was inevitable that she would get into trouble.

The brother and sister sat and drank again, Jiang Yibai estimated that it was time for Nan Huaifeng to go down, so he took the initiative to say goodbye, Jiang Ziyu did not leave him, let people clean up the table, she got up and sent Jiang Yibai.

"By the way, I've finished reading the book last time, are there any other books in the house besides the study?" On the way back, Jiang Ziyu suddenly remembered that the book that came out of the study had been read several times, and she planned to read another one.

Zipo shook his head and said, "All the books are in the study, but didn't the prince allow you to go in?" ”

Jiang Ziyu raised her eyebrows, if she wants to go in, others won't know, right? After thinking about it, she turned a corner and went to the study, and Jiang Ziyu, who originally wanted to sneak in, found that the guards in the study had doubled compared to before, and it was seamless at all.

"Our princess wants to go in and find the book." When Jiang Ziyu was still thinking about how to get in, Zipo had already gone over to hand over to the guards, and the guards seemed to have got the word and made way for Jiang Ziyu to invite her in.

After Jiang Ziyu entered, he flipped through the books on the shelf, and when he looked up, he saw a historical record of the Chu State, so he stepped on a chair to get it. When she came down, she saw that there was still a box of food on the table, so she opened it and took a piece, put it to her mouth, smelled a bad smell, and threw it back.

"Nan Huaifeng is also too himself." Jiang Ziyu went out with the book in disgust, still thinking about the dim sum on the way.

"Zipo, do you princes still have the habit of reading books and eating snacks?" It's not difficult for Jiang Ziyu to imagine what it looks like to read a book and eat, but it's hard to imagine why he eats such unpalatable things.

"Back to the princess, the prince rarely eats in the study, but occasionally the palace grandmother will send someone to bring some snacks, and the prince will eat a few bites on the spot."

Jiang Ziyu raised his eyebrows slightly, a little curious: "Mama Chang?" Who has such a big face? ”

"This Chang Mama is the nurse of the first emperor, and she has also taken care of the prince and the emperor for a period of time, so the prince respects her very much."

Jiang Ziyu felt that this grandmother was not an ordinary person, the first emperor and the current emperor had taken care of the current regent, no wonder Nan Huaifeng would give her face like this, her identity is indeed worthy of it.
