Chapter 80: Jiang Qingyue's good brother!
Lin Zheyuan left the tavern and walked down the street alone, thinking of Fang Mingkun's words all over his mind.
Fang Mingkun's intentions were already very obvious, let him use Zhou Rui'an and Jiang Qingyue's trust in him to find out where the witnesses were hiding, and even kill them, so that the case would be closed in the end.
But can he really do it? And then do what endangers them? Lin Zheyuan also knows that now the Dingguo Mansion and Zhou Rui'an are on the same page, this time the Chen family's case is a sharp blade for Zhou Rui'an to deal with the Dingguo Mansion, if he can't bring down the Dingguo Mansion this time, not only Zhou Rui'an, but even the current court pattern will undergo earth-shaking changes!
In the past, Lin Zheyuan was just a person in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't know much about the affairs of the court, but after he followed Zhou Rui'an, he gradually understood these things, what Zhou Rui'an wanted to do was very important, and even related to the inheritance of the country, and the key to all this is now all in the Chen family's extermination case!
Lin Zheyuan thought of his master again, Chen Hewu treated him like a mountain, at first he didn't understand why Chen Hewu had so many secrets but never told him, not even the slightest hint, but later he understood that Chen Hewu was protecting him.
Didn't Chen Hewu anticipate the danger? No, he expected it, but he didn't reveal half a word to him, just to protect him! Until Chen Hewu died, what he hoped Lin Zheyuan would do was only take good care of Chen Xiu'er, not avenge him!
Master treats him like this, can he really ignore Master's kindness and let him be scolded after death?
Lin Zheyuan stood on the bustling street, and for the first time had a sense of not knowing how to choose.
On this day, Zhou Ruian came back from outside, and Luo Bei greeted him anxiously.
"Master, there's news from the palace."
Zhou Ruian waved his hand, and the two walked into the study together, closed the door, and Zhou Ruian asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" β
"The second prince has been inquiring about the Qing concubine recently, and he also sent the housekeeper of the prince's mansion to ask the emperor about his whereabouts some time ago." Luo Bei said with a solemn face: "How could these two princes suddenly be curious about the matter of the Qing Guifei? I'm afraid that I'm already starting to suspect something, and the insider also said that the second prince was so abnormal after meeting Princess Ningyang. β
The opposite of things is a demon, and the second prince has a special identity, so as soon as the inside line in the palace found out that something was wrong, he immediately notified Luobei.
Zhou Ruian raised his eyebrows, Jiang Qingyue's life experience is a secret he has always wanted to hide, and now the only person who knows the inside story is the queen mother, but the queen mother will definitely not leak it out, although Emperor Xuande also has doubts, but he will not associate Jiang Qingyue's body with it anyway, so as long as he bites his mouth and does not let go, basically, Jiang Qingyue's life experience will always be a secret.
He was ready, even Jiang Qingyue wouldn't tell her!
But Zhou Ruian didn't expect that Jiang Qingyue asked the second prince for help in order to find his life experience, and the second prince really found out about Qing Guifei with clues! This is something that Zhou Ruian did not expect.
If the second prince really found out something, even if the second prince didn't harm Jiang Qingyue now, what about the future? The second prince might use this incident to attack him!
He wasn't worried about anything else, but he was worried that this identity would become an obstacle for him and Jiang Qingyue to be together.
Luo Bei said anxiously: "Master, do you think the second prince will investigate something?" β
Zhou Rui'an frowned, he pondered for a moment, and then shook his head: "It seems that the queen did not tell the second prince about the transfer of the princess, so the second prince began to investigate by himself, so...... You go, send someone to reveal the second prince's investigation of the Qing concubine to the queen, and let the queen stop the second prince. β
Luo Bei immediately came to his senses, and couldn't help but look at their master with admiration, their master is so powerful, he thought of a solution so quickly, isn't it, the queen doesn't want the second prince to know about the transfer of the princess, and will definitely find a way to stop him, where is the use of them worrying?
"The master is really wise and powerful, and his wisdom is unparalleled...... Luo Bei hurriedly praised with a smile.
Just kidding, when a family member is a family member, he won't be a sycophant, how can he get the master's appreciation?
Zhou Ruian ruthlessly interrupted Luo Bei's boasting: "What about Qingyue? How's her body? β
"It's almost fine, is Jiang Gongzi in good health......" Before Luo Bei's words fell, he saw Zhou Ruian turn around and walk out.
"I'll go see her."
Luo Bei pouted, alas, their master is really good at everything, but it's the point that Se Ling Zhi is faint, it's too bad!
Jiang Qingyue was holding a gun and a pen in the room and marking marksmanship, she had always felt guilty and dissatisfied with the fact that she fell into the hands of Fang Mingkun because of her carelessness, with her martial arts, she was actually arrested by Fang Mingkun, which was a great shame for her! Especially the follow-up reaction caused by this incident made Jiang Qingyue even more difficult to accept.
Therefore, this illness just happened, and Jiang Qingyue began to practice martial arts to prevent the occurrence of such incidents.
Her movements were crisp and neat, her expression was focused, and Zhou Ruian leaned against the door, looking at her with a smile.
Jiang Qingyue sweated slightly on his forehead, turned his head, and found Zhou Rui'an: "When did you come, why didn't you call me?" β
To say that Jiang Qingyue was kidnapped this time, what impact did it have on Zhou Ruian, in fact, it was still very huge, in addition to the fact that he handed over the evidence that could bring down the Dingguo Mansion and was impeached by the imperial history one after another, the biggest gain was that his relationship with Jiang Qingyue was one step closer.
You know, the two were still quarreling before Jiang Qingyue was kidnapped, Jiang Qingyue was so angry that he couldn't live in his house, how serious is this? However, because Jiang Qingyue was kidnapped, in order to save her, he handed over important evidence, which made Jiang Qingyue feel guilty, and it was difficult to quarrel with him anymore.
Zhou Rui'an felt that this could be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
"I just want to see, why are you so attractive? As a result, when I looked at it, I lost my mind. Zhou Ruian walked over with a smile and met her gaze: "My family Qingyue is really excellent." β
It's no wonder that she is obviously a man, but the second prince can't help but fall in love with her.
Jiang Qingyue glanced at him suspiciously, and then asked sincerely: "Did you take the wrong medicine?" Or did you forget to take your medicine? How can you talk nonsense? β
Trueβ’Straightβ’Jiang Qingyue asked sincerely, and thought that he was completely concerned about Zhou Rui'an's body, and did not destroy the consciousness of the atmosphere at all.
Zhou Rui'an's expression froze, and he couldn't help but glared at her with some annoyance, "Tell me about you, how can you still attract bees and butterflies everywhere?" β
Jiang Qingyue looked at him innocently, she really felt that Zhou Ruian really seemed to be a little abnormal, "When did I recruit bees and butterflies?" β
Zhou Ruian choked, he couldn't say that the second prince had a crush on her, right?
"Qingyue, what do you think of the second prince?" Zhou Ruian thought for a moment and asked tentatively.
At the mention of the second prince, a complicated look flashed on Jiang Qingyue's face, she thought about it, and then said with a straight face: "The second prince is my good brother!" After a pause, she continued: "I know, you may be unhappy when I say this, but this time, the second prince ran desperately to save me, he really treated me as a brother, Fang Mingkun persuaded him so much, he wanted to use me against you, the second prince didn't agree, he treated me with a deep brotherhood, I really ......"
To use one word to describe Zhou Ruian's mood at this time, it is too difficult, too difficult, too difficult.
Jiang Qingyue looked at Zhou Rui'an and said sincerely: "I know you will be very unhappy if I say this, but the second prince really regards me as a good brother!" β
Zhou Rui'an: "......"
Zhou Ruian looked at Jiang Qingyue and didn't say anything for a while, he really didn't know whether to be happy or troubled now, and she still regarded the second prince as a good brother, but your good brother didn't think so! Hello brother, you are a man and a woman!
Zhou Rui'an was in a complicated mood, and finally just said: "I'm not unhappy, he treats you as a brother, and I'm very happy that you can have a friend......
Jiang Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, and said with relief: "I'm still worried, you will feel unhappy because the second prince came to save me, alas, speaking of which, I didn't expect that the second prince really valued me as a brother, and actually ran desperately to save me." β
Zhou Rui'an: "......"
Seeing Jiang Qingyue's troubled and somewhat confused look, Zhou Ruian couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips and reached out to take her into his arms.
Jiang Qingyue's ears turned red, and he symbolically rejected him: "You, what are you doing?" It's broad daylight. β
"It's nothing, it's just happy, I'm glad." Zhou Ruian whispered, kissing her lightly in the ear.
Glad that he said it bluntly enough, and fortunately he didn't hesitate when he recognized his mind clearly, otherwise he would probably become Jiang Qingyue's second good brother today, he would vomit to death, he would really vomit to death!
Jiang Qingyue's face turned a little red, and he quietly glanced out, seeing that there was no one else, he thought for a while, "Then, then hug it, just take it!" β
Zhou Ruian smiled and hugged her tightly, how glad that this girl, who had never been open-minded, accepted him wholeheartedly.
"By the way, how is the Chen family's case?" Jiang Qingyue leaned on Zhou Rui'an's arms and couldn't help but raise his head and ask.
Zhou Ruian was a little helpless, and pressed her head to her chest, "At this time, can you not care about those irrelevant things?" β
"Oh." Jiang Qingyue continued to lean aggrievedly, but after a moment, he couldn't help but raise his head: "How can this be an inconsequential matter?" This has something to do with you! β
Forget it, it is estimated that Jiang Qingyue will be puzzled in this life.
"There is no physical evidence, we still have witnesses, and I have already arranged it." Zhou Ruian said this, and sighed: "Speaking of which, it is also the fate of the Chen family, in addition to the husband, there was also a little beggar, because he was often relieved by the Chen family's subordinates, gave him a lot of leftovers, on the day of the crime, the little beggar was also near the Chen family, saw the murderer, so many years, he has been looking forward to hoping that someone will show snow for the Chen family, so for so many years, he has not left the capital, this time I heard that Guan Youwei wanted to investigate the case, and he found it." β
Speaking of which, this is also a cycle of cause and effect, the good deeds that the Chen family did back then were still rewarded after many years, no wonder, even a person like Zhou Rui'an, who has always had a cold temperament, couldn't help but sigh.
The Chen family's case still has a turning point, Jiang Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she didn't want to let the murderer behind the scenes go unpunished because of herself.
She raised her head and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Rui'an teasingly: "It seems that Lord Guan has a good reputation, if you are replaced, with your reputation as a brocade guard, I am afraid that even a little beggar will not dare to come to the door, right?" β
The prince is the commander of the brocade guard, and this reputation is not good.
Zhou Rui'an raised his eyebrows, and his handsome face revealed a bit of danger: "Then Qing Yue knows what my Jinyiwei is best at?" β
"What is it?" Geng is as innocent as Jiang Qingyue, and the artist is bold, and he asks questions without fear.
Zhou Ruian smiled slightly, and her big hand couldn't help but tighten her waist: "Naturally, it's a robbery of people's girls!" β
He hugged her tightly in his arms, Jiang Qingyue was vigilant, but it was too late, he had blocked all her retreats.
The prince is also very helpless, his daughter-in-law is strong in martial arts, if she wants to get close, she has to fight wits and courage, if it weren't for his martial arts, I'm afraid I won't be able to get close to her in this life.
Jiang Qingyue's heart was alarmed, and then the knock on the door to rescue her rang.
Zhou Rui'an: "......"
It's not easy! Some time ago, he quarreled with Jiang Qingyue, causing the two of them to ignore each other, Zhou Rui'an was already holding back the fire in his heart, and later Jiang Qingyue was kidnapped again, and he was sick and injured, this is finally better, he wants to be close and close, why are so many people bothering him? Why can't you see him so well?
Jiang Qingyue looked at Zhou Ruian innocently: "Why don't you let him in first?" β
Luo Bei felt bitter in his heart, and he walked in with an innocent expression of 'I didn't mean to': "Master, Master Lin is here." β
Zhou Ruian frowned: "Come on, come on, it's not the first time he's here, please go to tea, and come to report?" β
Luo Bei blinked, looking aggrieved.
Jiang Qingyue said: "I guess they came to see me, and letting the guests wait, it's really not a way of hospitality!" β
I don't know which sentence Jiang Qingyue said to please the prince, the expression on Zhou Ruian's face was clear, and he smiled slightly: "Yes, how can we let the guests wait?" β
The two walked out side by side, Luo Bei looked at Zhou Rui'an's back, and couldn't help pouting, saying that women have needles in their hearts, and their sons are not much worse, they were still strained just now, and they were immediately happy!
Lin Zheyuan, who was in the living room, saw Zhou Ruian and Jiang Qingyue walking in together, and immediately stood up: "Lord Shizi, Qingyue." After a pause, he looked at Jiang Qingyue and smiled: "It seems that Qingyue's body is almost better, so I can rest assured." β
Jiang Qingyue nodded slightly: "There were no heavy injuries, by the way, why didn't Xiu'er come with you?" β
"She's been feeling a little unwell lately, she's resting at home, she's worried about you, and she's been clamoring to come to see you." Lin Zheyuan said with a smile.
Jiang Qingyue was anxious when he heard this: "What's wrong with Miss Xiu'er's body?" Is it a big deal? β
Zhou Ruian coughed lightly twice on the side as a reminder.
Jiang Qingyue glanced at him inexplicably, but Lin Zheyuan smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just an occasional cold, Qingyue don't worry," paused, he looked at Zhou Ruian and said: "Lord Shizi, this time, it's all because I didn't find Qingyue, and finally let the Lord have to hand over the evidence to exchange it for Qingyue, I'm really guilty, if I delay the big event of the Lord Shizi because of this matter, I should really be ashamed." β
"Senior brother, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to blame yourself, speaking of which, I will be caught if I underestimate the enemy, and the culprit in this matter is me." Jiang Qingyue said.
Lin Zheyuan said: "Fang Mingkun is insidious and cunning, he is eyeing you, how can he prevent it?" It's mainly the case of the Chen family, without evidence, I don't know if it will affect the prince? β
Zhou Ruian smiled: "You have to worry about it, although the evidence is gone, but fortunately, there are still people to testify, and it is not so easy for the Dingguo Mansion to get rid of the crime." β
"That's great, this person is very important now, but it must be protected so that nothing can go wrong again." Lin Zheyuan is colorful.
Zhou Ruian nodded, and said, "It's not too early, Master Lin might as well stay and eat together." β
Lin Zheyuan shook his head: "You don't have to eat, only Yan Niang is taking care of Xiu'er at home, I'm a little worried, and I have to rush back to have a look." β
Zhou Ruian said: "Since this is the case, I won't keep you." β
Lin Zheyuan nodded at Zhou Ruian and Jiang Qingyue, and walked out, Jiang Qingyue looked at his back, his eyes flashed: "Senior brother, something is wrong." β
Obviously, they had met on the roof the night before, and she had also used light exercises at that time, indicating that her injuries were almost healed, but Lin Zheyuan came to care about her body again, which was a bit deliberate.
Zhou Ruian pulled her to the table and sat down: "It's for witnesses." β
Jiang Qingyue was so smart, but he instantly understood what he meant, "You mean, he wants to be unfavorable to people?" After a pause, she had a flash of inspiration: "Is it for Weiyuan Dart Game?!" β
Facts have proved that as long as Jiang Qingyue is not involved in emotional problems, she is usually a witty and intelligent girl, Zhou Ruian just mentioned it, and she has already guessed the key.
Zhou Rui'an's eyes flashed with appreciation, he bowed slightly, sighed and said: "In the end, it is the deep love between master and apprentice, the grace of saving lives, and the love of nurturing, Lin Zheyuan can't be indifferent, he is affectionate and righteous." β
Jiang Qingyue was silent for a moment, "Actually, I can't see it, after such a long period of contact, although the senior brother is too nervous about the affairs of the Weiyuan Dart Game, he is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, I think he will not be confused in front of the big right and wrong." β
"No matter how deep he understands righteousness, he is a person after all, this Chen Hewu is as kind to him as a mountain, and now he has died unexpectedly, he is afraid that he will not be able to see others talk about Chen Hewu's rights and wrongs, and you also know that he has not given up wanting to revive the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, if Chen Hewu does destroy the Chen family, the brand of the Weiyuan Dart Game will not be able to stand up, do you say that this is not in the face of love and righteousness?" Zhou Ruian looked at Jiang Qingyue and asked rhetorically.
Jiang Qingyue thought about it, but still shook his head: "I still think that Senior Brother will not do this." β
The corners of Zhou Rui'an's mouth hooked, chuckled, and touched her head: "Qingyue, you still don't understand human nature, no matter how beautiful your appearance is, but human nature is ugly, you will never know what a person can do for selfish desires, what fathers and sons, brothers, flesh and blood, can be abandoned." β
In the end, Zhou Rui'an's eyes were cold.
Jiang Qingyue's heart moved, she felt that he meant something by saying this, he was referring to Emperor Xuande, right? When Emperor Xuande was still the prince, he was besieged on the battlefield, and it was the prince of Jin who went back to save him regardless of his safety, but in the end, the prince of Jin died on the battlefield.
This matter is known to the whole country, but later Emperor Xuande snatched the throne that should have belonged to the prince of Jin, and gave 'Jun Mochou' to the only son of the prince of Jin, who can say that the things on the battlefield back then were not hidden?
Jiang Qingyue sighed slightly in her heart, she couldn't blame Zhou Rui'an's suspicions, because he had faced such dirt and ugliness since he was a child.
Jiang Qingyue turned around, Lin Zheyuan had disappeared, so what choice would Lin Zheyuan make?
Jiang Qingyue looked at Zhou Rui'an and said, "This must be Fang Mingkun looking for Senior Brother to inquire about the news, otherwise with Senior Brother's temperament, he would definitely not have thought of this." β
"More than this, I want to know what Lin Zheyuan will do." Zhou Ruian said lightly.
Jiang Qingyue was slightly stunned: "Didn't you say that the senior brother would compromise for the Weiyuan Dart Game?" β
"I think so, but who made you believe him?" Zhou Ruian smiled helplessly: "Since you believe him, I don't want to see you disappointed." β
He had experienced the most difficult predicament, and he had also felt hopeless about human nature, but he didn't want Jiang Qingyue to bear these too, if she believed Lin Zheyuan, he hoped that Lin Zheyuan could withstand the test of human nature.
There was too much ugliness in this world, but he didn't want her to go through it too.
Although he judged rationally that Lin Zheyuan had no reason to refuse, he hoped that his judgment was wrong.
Jiang Qingyue's experience since she was a child was not smooth, she left her parents since she was a child, and was raised by her master, she didn't know who she was, in order to find this answer, she experienced unimaginable tribulations for other girls, she was actually just an eighteen-year-old girl!
But even though the experience didn't give her too much warmth and beauty, she still grew into the optimistic and hopeful girl she is today, which is exactly what he wants to cherish.
The girl he loves has a man's tough temperament, but she also has a woman's softest heart.
Jiang Qingyue understood what he meant, and couldn't help pursing his lips, looking a little uncomfortable: "That, you still have to pay attention to the safety of the witness." β
Zhou Ruian touched Jiang Qingyue's head with a smile, Qingyue is shy, it's really cute.
