Chapter 21: Retrieving the Aftermath
Jiang Ziyu temporarily suppressed the Queen Mother, she asked Chenxing to bring a few teams of soldiers to protect the Chengqian Palace, and even ordered that all news in the imperial city should not be transmitted, and with Nan Huaifeng's private soldiers guarding, even a bird could not fly out.
Chenxing secretly took Xingyu out of the palace and sent it to the palace, after all, all the subordinates of the entire Chengqian Palace were locked up, and it was very difficult for the princess to take care of the emperor and the prince alone.
"Xingyu, you go and make some breakfast, don't worry about Nan Huaifeng's share, I'll do it." Jiang Ziyu didn't sleep all night, and found several medicinal materials from the space to make an antidote, and the mandala flower is easy to solve, but it is not easy to think about the wood gall.
Xingyu went to the small kitchen in response, and Jiang Ziyu asked Chenxing to go to the other hall to get two pots and set up a fire in the side hall. I've been boiling the medicine and I've been boiling the porridge that has been put away.
After cooking for nearly half an hour, Jiang Ziyu took two porcelain bowls and brought the porridge and medicine back to the main hall. The emperor was already sitting at the table honestly eating the breakfast made by Xingyu, and he saw the imperial aunt come back with a smile on his face.
Jiang Ziyu raised his eyebrows, saw him smile and turned his head to look at the bed, Nan Huaifeng was already awake, half-leaning on the futon and lowering his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
"Awake?" Although these two were bland, Jiang Ziyu was still surprised in his heart, how did he wake up so quickly?
Nan Huaifeng nodded lightly when he heard the sound, Jiang Ziyu put down the porridge and medicine, and reached out to pinch his pulse.
"Drink the medicine and finish eating." Jiang Ziyu threw his hand back, she sat a little sullenly on the side, Nan Huaifeng was able to wake up because the antidote was related to the poisoning of the puncture point, and a big reason was that he had deep internal strength, the specific reason Jiang Ziyu couldn't explain clearly, but he knew that Nan Huaifeng would be fine.
Nan Huaifeng stretched out his hand and drank the medicine down, then picked up the medicine porridge and drank it slowly.
"I'm sorry."
Jiang Ziyu raised her eyebrows undeniably when she heard Nan Huaifeng's apology again, she held her face and said, "Excuse me, I have wrapped up the antidote, since you are awake, then I will go." ”
Xingyu's eyes were a little sad when she heard this, Jiang Ziyu stared at her and thought for a moment, turned her head and said to Nan Huaifeng: "For the sake of me saving your life, let's make another condition to you." ”
Nan Huaifeng's eyes were a little unclear, and he replied in a low voice: "What I did yesterday, I can't help myself, and I can't help it." ”
"I know that after being poisoned by mandala flowers and wood gallbladders, it is not easy for you to still hold on to recognize people." It's one thing for Jiang Ziyu to understand him, and it's another thing for him to continue in this whirlpool.
After this incident, she can see that this is a never-ending war, and it can only end when one side is completely defeated, so she doesn't want to wade into this troubled water again.
"I don't want you to go." Nan Huaifeng put the empty porridge bowl aside, looked up at her and continued: "Is it that you left and left alone?" ”
Jiang Ziyu sneered slightly, fiddling with the furnishings in front of him and said lightly: "It is you and the emperor that the Queen Mother wants to kill, not me." Now she knows that I am not easy to deal with, so this time she is just using you to force me away, so why can't I be alone? ”
"You ordered to surround the palace, and as soon as you leave at this time, she will push everything on your head, you don't care about the Jiang family, don't you care about Liuying and Zipo who accompanied you into the palace?"
Jiang Ziyu frowned, it is true that she can't leave now, otherwise Liuying and Zipo will be to blame. With the queen mother's scheming, she will definitely leave herself alone, and it is difficult to guarantee that she will not reverse black and white to frame Liuying and Zipo, not to mention that another prince is involved.
"What I said at the beginning is still valid, and when the court is stable, I will not stop you if you want to leave." Nan Huaifeng knew that he almost lost this time, because his momentary negligence almost cost his nephew and his own life, including this country.
If it weren't for Jiang Ziyu's strength to turn the tide, his Nan Huaifeng would have no bones left at this moment. He is grateful to Jiang Ziyu, but he knows better that only gratitude cannot keep Jiang Ziyu.
"How are you going to deal with the aftermath?" At present, there must be turmoil outside the palace, and the successive changes must have been discussed by civil and military officials for a long time, and this fire is already burning very strongly, and it is not easy to quell it.
The emperor sat aside and listened quietly, while Xingyu went to the outer hall early, and the dormitory fell into a depressing silence.
"Girl, I just went to the cellar and stole two jars of good autumn dew, this is the best wine." Before the sound arrived, Nan Chenqing went out of the palace yesterday to find out the news for Jiangzi Yu, and returned to the palace when the news was almost collected in the morning, and took two jars when he passed by the palace wine cellar.
As soon as Nan Chenqing came in, he found that Nan Huaifeng had woken up, and looked at Jiang Ziyu with some concern.
"Sit down." Jiang Ziyu lightly raised his chin and motioned for him to sit, Nan Chenqing took out two wine bowls from his arms, and said after filling them with wine: "I went to the teahouse early in the morning, and there are different opinions outside, among which the most rumored is ......."
"What?" Jiang Ziyu took a sip of wine and asked absently, Nan Chenqing pursed his lips and said, "Saying that you are a demon and harming the third brother." I don't know who spread the news of the third brother's serious illness, plus the third brother ordered you to be arrested, and the imperial city was surrounded by the third brother's private soldiers, these things are spread together as if they were the real thing. ”
Jiang Ziyu glanced sideways at Nan Huaifeng, his face was really bad, I don't know if it was because of poisoning, or because his princess was drinking together with other princes in front of him.
"I'll take care of the aftermath." Nan Huaifeng looked at Nan Chenqing gloomily, the latter was holding a wine bowl and trying to block his vision, Jiang Ziyu put the wine bowl down and said: "I'm afraid that this news was prepared in advance by the Queen Mother, but she didn't expect that I would break into the palace and even be able to transfer troops to surround the palace, and all the news was blocked in the palace, so outsiders didn't know that I entered the palace and didn't know that you were fine." ”
"This time, the Queen Mother is ruthless." Nan Chenqing took the opportunity to interject, and Jiang Ziyu looked at Nan Huaifeng and was a little curious if he would retaliate.
"Let Morningstar come over." Nan Huaifeng seemed to say a word to the air, but the two people who were drinking knew that someone had gone to find Morning Star.
Jiang Ziyu knew that Zipo had been guarding the roof, and Nan Chenqing was because he heard it.
Not long after the morning star came, Nan Huaifeng's eyes were full of frosty chill, and his voice was also full of majesty: "Pass the order, let the forbidden army withdraw to the outskirts of Beijing, and write the emperor list and say that yesterday's incident was a plan set by the king and the princess, just because there were thieves in the palace recently, and the design was introduced." All rumors are forbidden to be spread again, and anyone who finds that they are spreading strange powers and chaos can go to the yamen to report and receive a reward. ”
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it." Morning Star is a smart man, he already knows what the prince means, and he can do it without explaining everything to him.
Jiang Ziyu tapped the table and asked, "What are the plans of the Queen Mother?" ”
"The guards who stopped you yesterday and the guards and palace maids who guarded the Chengqian Palace will all be killed, as for the Queen Mother, she may have already thought of a perfect plan." The fierceness in Nan Huaifeng's eyes became more and more obvious, Jiang Ziyu didn't believe that he would forget it like this, after all, this time their uncle and nephew almost became a stepping stone, can Nan Huaifeng swallow this breath?
"Are you going to leave it at that?"
Nan Huaifeng squinted his eyes and turned his head to look at Jiang Ziyu: "Don't worry, kill people first." ”
Jiang Ziyu had to admit that she still admired such a ruthless and resolute Nan Huaifeng, perhaps because this was similar to her.
Nan Chenqing ran away first, Jiang Ziyu wanted to take another sip of wine but suddenly remembered something, and said, "Do you know who poisoned you?" ”
"You know?"
Jiang Ziyu lowered her eyes, afraid that after she finished speaking, Nan Huaifeng would only be more surprised than now.
"I went to your study before the accident, and the snacks in your study were poisonous, and I didn't think much about it at the time, and when I checked your pulse, I realized that the strange smell in the snacks was caused by the fusion of mandala flowers and wood galls and left for too long."
Nan Huaifeng frowned, there was almost invisible disbelief in his eyes, Jiang Ziyu continued: "I heard Zipo say that only one Mama Chang will send you snacks, and only the snacks she sends you will eat. Last night I had your shadow guard secretly spy on her, and it's up to you what to do with her. ”
"It won't be her, she is a loyal servant by the side of the queen mother, and she takes care of the royal brother and me subtly, how can she ......" Speaking of this, Nan Huaifeng couldn't say it anymore, the imperial brother died of a sudden illness. The death is so strange, the imperial brother is cautious and will not let people be harmed easily, the imperial doctor said that the imperial brother is overworked and causes palpitations, because he has never thought much about it before. I only thought that King Rui sent someone to do it, but now......
"Have you thought about it, the death of your imperial brother, the poison of your nephew, and the poisoning of you this time, even you can be harmed, who else can there be besides the person you trust?" If Jiang Ziyu hadn't cared about Mama Chang being someone close to him, with her character, he was afraid that Mama Chang would have been tortured at this time.
Nan Huaifeng's eyes became more and more gloomy, that was the person who had followed his mother for many years, the person who was brought out of his mother's family, the Chang Mama in his memory was so gentle and kind, the imperial brother took her to respect her like an elder, and she was also one of the few people in his palace who trusted, how could she be like this?
"That box of dim sum should still be in the study, and the imperial doctor who framed me should also be carefully examined." Jiang Ziyu yawned, and when he saw that Nan Huaifeng was gloomy and cold, he stopped talking and asked him to calm down and think about it.
After all, being betrayed by someone close to her is not something that can be digested in a while, and she just wants to sleep well at the moment after she hasn't slept all night. She leaned over on the table, Jiang Ziyu hadn't realized it at this time, her subconscious was believing in Nan Huaifeng, otherwise how could she be willing to sleep peacefully in front of him?
Nan Huaifeng turned his head to look at Jiang Ziyu, who fell asleep instantly, only then did he realize that her eyes were very blue, I was afraid that in order to take care of him and An'er, he had not slept all night, his heart was full of indescribable emotions towards her at the moment, she was excellent in the face of such a change, she still had the ability to turn the tide and turn the tide, and she had a heart that could go out at any time.
The energy that he carried in his small body was incalculable, he really didn't see the wrong person at the beginning, Jiang Ziyu's cold face was not known to be a lot of blood, but she tried to restrain all her emotions, but how could a person with a pure and good nature escape a good word?
When she was unconscious and ordered her to die, she could still take risks to save him regardless of herself, and Rao is Nan Huaifeng was not moved.
