Chapter Twenty-Four: Returning Home and Being Blocked
Nan Huaifeng's actions caused a lot of pressure on the Queen Mother, not to mention that there were no available people in the imperial hospital, He Zhiqing only sent two older and less ambitious old imperial doctors to the concubines in the harem, and the people in the internal affairs house were also replaced by Nan Huaifeng, and the Queen Mother lost her right-hand man in the harem this time.
"After An'er arrives at the palace, let's live in the courtyard next to you." Nan Huaifeng can trust Jiang Ziyu, and An'er is relieved to let her side.
Jiang Ziyu has no opinion on this, Zuo is just looking at one more child, and let Liuying play with him when the time comes.
The group left the palace in a carriage, but was stopped by Jiang Yibai halfway.
"Don't go back to the palace through the main gate." Jiang Yibai leaned against the window outside the carriage, cynical and a little serious.
Nan Huaifeng raised his eyebrows, he didn't know much about Jiang Yibai, he only heard that he was a swinger, and only for the sake of Jiang Ziyu's face did he ask, "Why?" ”
"The gate of the forbidden king's mansion is full of people, all of whom are seeking justice." Jiang Yibai also felt Nan Huaifeng's distrust, and he scoffed at it.
Nan Huaifeng turned his eyes slightly to look at Jiang Ziyu, Jiang Ziyu sipped his tea and didn't care: "What is fair to please of." ”
Nan Huaifeng understood the meaning of her words, and ordered Chenxing to continue walking, Jiang Yibai reached out and grabbed Chenxing when he saw this: "That's it, I miss the sixth sister, the prince won't give his brother and sister a chance to get together, right?" ”
When Jiang Ziyu heard this, he looked up, Nan Huaifeng snorted, and said, "In that case, go back to the house with us." ”
Jiang Yibai rushed into the carriage when he heard this, Jiang Ziyu saw that he was still carrying two bags of things in his hand, Jiang Yibai saw her look over, and casually stuffed the paper bag into her hand: "Qiqiao Zhai's dim sum, just queued up to buy, try it?" ”
Jiang Ziyu opened the paper bag and had mixed feelings in her heart, Jiang Yibai was really good enough to her, although she had only seen her three times, Jiang Ziyu really felt her brother's affection in him, and for a moment she remembered her brother in her previous life.
"Thank you, second brother." Jiang Ziyu picked a snack and ate it in his mouth, this snack is delicate and melts in the mouth, and there is no greasy feeling, it is very delicious.
Nan Huaifeng raised his eyebrows slightly, Jiang Ziyu is not a person who knows how to thank her, but looking at her appearance, she has a little respect for Jiang Yibai.
Jiang Yibai saw Nan Huaifeng looking at him, he also pouted slightly and looked back, he hadn't figured out the cause and effect of the previous incident, but Nan Huaifeng ordered to surround the Jiang family, and his shadow guards came to him to ask for the sixth sister, and the siege of the imperial city This series of events is enough to prove that there is a dislike between Nan Huaifeng and the sixth sister.
At the moment, Nan Huaifeng's face was still a little pale, and with the notice posted, Jiang Yibai thought in his heart - could it be that Nan Huaifeng was calculated?
"What news has the second brother heard outside recently? And why did the people besiege the king's house? Jiang Ziyu saw the two of them looking at each other, and then looked at the displeasure in Nan Huaifeng's eyes, so he opened his mouth to break the silence in the carriage.
Jiang Yibai's attention was really attracted, he looked at Jiang Ziyu and said: "The day after you entered the palace, the rumors outside intensified, and they all said that you bewitched the prince and was discovered by him, which caused the prince to kill you." also said that the prince entered the palace to hide from you, but you cast a demon spell to enter the palace and bewitch him. ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Yibai chuckled sarcastically and said, "Those who have a nose and eyes will take out all the things about your assassination in the sky." ”
"Coming at me?" Jiang Ziyu originally thought that those people were going to seek justice with Nan Huaifeng, but she didn't expect that they were coming to her.
Jiang Yibai nodded slightly, his expression was a little serious: "Since you married into the palace, the rumors have never stopped, and the matter of sacrificing to the sky is not enough, there are many people." But you said that you had ordered a ban on spreading the news about the Zen master that day, why did even Jiang Xue know about it? ”
Jiang Ziyu frowned, which was also something she had been wondering about, Nan Huaifeng listened for a moment, went through the recent events in his mind again, and said coldly: "There were no rumors outside on the day I returned to the door, and the rumors came out after returning to the house after the sacrifice to the sky." In other words, I am afraid that someone deliberately revealed this news to your Jiang family. ”
Nan Huaifeng felt that it was necessary for him to let someone check this Jiang Xue, and he didn't believe the Jiang family at the moment. At the beginning, Jiang Ziyu said that the Queen Mother must have some substantial benefits to kill her, if it was just to find a handle against Nan Huaifeng, her death would not be painful in the end.
At most, it makes Nan Huaifeng's reputation worse, and he can't lose anything.
The significance that Jiang Ziyu can bring to her is self-evident.
"After this time, I'm afraid that the sixth sister will rarely encounter assassins again." Jiang Yibai suddenly said this, Jiang Ziyu turned his head and asked, "Why?" ”
Jiang Yibai raised his eyebrows undeniably, but he didn't say it so thoroughly, but his eyes lowered his eyes and glanced at Nan Huaifeng's body slightly.
But Nan Huaifeng knew the reason, and said lightly: "The Queen Mother wants to borrow my hand to kill you, you didn't die, didn't run, and didn't even alarm your master, what do you think she will think?" ”
Jiang Ziyu was stunned for a moment at first, her master? But then I remembered the cheap master Mo Xu that Nan Huaifeng found for her, and I am afraid that the queen mother's actions this time were also tentative.
"I don't think she's got the harem down, I'd like to see how many assassins she has to use to assassinate me." Jiang Ziyu is not afraid at all, no matter how powerful those assassins are, she is a human being, but she is the one who crawled out of the zombie pile.
Nan Huaifeng admired her courage a little, Jiang Ziyu was very sorry to go out more openly, she was not afraid of these swords and blood shadows, but she was comfortable in them, which was why he felt that she was the best candidate for the princess.
During the conversation, the carriage had already arrived in front of the gate of the Forbidden King's Mansion, and there were indeed many people gathered at the door, and they didn't dare to make a mistake when they saw the carriage coming, but waited for Nan Huaifeng and them to get off the carriage, and these people knelt down one after another.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang is the top pillar of the country, don't be fooled by this demon girl!"
"Please also ask the prince to make it clear, this demon girl must not stay by his side."
……
The voices of forcing Nan Huaifeng to deal with Jiang Ziyu came and went, Jiang Ziyu originally had no emotion, and Nan Huaifeng would not really deal with her, but she just swept a familiar figure in the crowd, and her eyes suddenly chilled.
The woman inadvertently looked at Jiang Ziyu, and was so frightened that she immediately knocked her head down.
"You say I'm a demon girl, it's nothing more than hearsay, who of you has ever seen me really hurt people?" Jiang Ziyu's eyes were staring at the woman, she was inducing the people's words.
"You killed the Zen master of Wuli Mountain in the palace, and jumped off the cliff on the way to worship the heavens, aren't these enough to prove that you are a demon girl?" It was an old man who spoke, full of righteousness and awe, as if he would not hesitate to make Nan Huaifeng wake up, even if blood was splashed on the spot.
Jiang Ziyu sneered, raised his hand and pointed at the woman and said, "Sacrifice to the sky and jump off the cliff, why don't you ask her why I jumped off the cliff?" ”
The woman was covered in cold sweat when she saw that her eyes were all around, she was silent for a long time, and the people around her were cheering her up, telling her not to be afraid of Jiang Ziyu.
"Princess, princess...... In order to win the love of the people and the trust of the prince, I deliberately took advantage of the chaos to push my child off the cliff, if it weren't for this, there had never been an accident on the road to heaven for so many years, and there were the Royal Forest Army and the Forbidden Family Army, where would the thief assassin dare to be so arrogant? Just a few dozen people also came to assassinate? ”
Jiang Ziyu looked at the woman, and there was no trace of warmth in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were hooked with a touching and indifferent smile.
"So vicious, how can you keep her by your side, Lord Wang?"
"I don't even let go of the child, it's really made of animals."
All kinds of curses continued, and Liuying and Xingyu on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, and stood up to rebuke and refute.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Obviously, it was her child who rolled off the cliff by himself, and my princess couldn't bear the child's death before she came to the rescue, and in order to save her son, the princess was injured for several days, and you came to slander the princess so much without distinguishing between right and wrong, you ...... You guys....... Xingyu couldn't say it angrily, pointing to the eyes of these people full of anger.
Liuying helped on the side, glaring fiercely at the people in front of him: "There were so many people who worshiped the heavens that day, there are always people who have seen what happened at that time, I don't believe that a person who reverses black and white can still be all black-hearted!" ”
"This king has said that whoever spreads rumors again will be punished. Do you think that this king is a three-year-old child who has no power to tell right from wrong? Nan Huaifeng swept everyone coldly, and his majesty made everyone who was debating with Xingyu Liuying shut up.
Jiang Ziyu had no expression on her face, but Nan Huaifeng could sense from the change in her momentum that she had already moved with killing intent. He immediately reached out and grabbed her, lowered his head and whispered, "They are innocent." ”
"Am I not innocent?" Jiang Ziyu raised her eyes and asked her, she is a ruthless and cold-blooded person, but she has never taken the initiative to harm anyone, and she can't even bear to save people for a while, and she has to be bitten back, and now she is blocked by everyone on the street and slandered, is she not innocent?
Nan Huaifeng watched her fall silent, Jiang Ziyu gritted his teeth and endured the pain, he remembered vividly, and the person who was kowtowing to her to thank her in the last second stabbed her in the back in a blink of an eye, and he really couldn't say anything to consol.
But he won't let Jiang Ziyu kill at this moment, if she moves, it will be useless to explain.
"The order goes down, and anyone who remembers the whole process of the child's fall from the cliff and the princess's rescue during the sacrifice to the heavens will be rewarded as long as they go to the yamen to complain within three days, as long as it is true. After three days, the yamen will post all the records anonymously, and you don't have to worry about the king or the princess taking revenge, the king only wants justice. ”
Nan Huaifeng looked at the people kneeling on the ground, looked at the pedestrians who stopped by and stopped, and there was a little sadness in his seriousness: "This king has done his best for the Chu country, and now he just wants to ask you for justice." ”
Jiang Yibai was a little surprised, this forbidden prince even said such a thing for the sake of his sixth sister, could it be that he had a sixth sister in his heart?
Jiang Ziyu herself was also surprised, she looked sideways at Nan Huaifeng, and said softly, "You don't have to be like this. ”
"You are the princess I am marrying, if no one believes you, then no one believes me, and I don't deserve this prince."
