024 Sheep into the mouth of the tiger

Jiang Yuan made up his mind and was ready to repeat his old tricks, or pretend to be a little eunuch and leave the palace. After everyone was dismissed, Jiang Yuan changed into a eunuch suit and was about to slip out of the Zihua Palace, when his figure was blocked by a dark shadow.

Jiang Yuan looked up and saw that it was Gao Defu.

"Gao, Gao Defu? Why are you here? Didn't I allow you to go back to the house and rest for half a day? ”

Gao Defu looked at Jiang Yuan's outfit and said, "It's more reassuring for the old slave to serve the emperor closely." Where is the emperor going? ”

Jiang Yuan paused, and simply said, "I have an urgent matter to leave the palace, so don't stop me." ”

Gao Defu said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother said hello, for the safety of the emperor, it is better for the emperor not to leave the palace." If the emperor really wants to leave the palace, the old slave will go to tell the queen mother, if the queen mother agrees, it will not be too late for the emperor to leave the palace. ”

If Chu Chengbi knew, she would definitely not leave the palace.

Jiang Yuan immediately said, "Gao Defu, have you forgotten what the queen mother said not long ago?" I am the emperor, if you dare to stop me, beware of my crimes. ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave doesn't dare to embarrass the emperor, but it is also the duty of the old slave to ensure the emperor's safety! Please don't embarrass the old slave! ”

Jiang Yuan deliberately said angrily, "Gao Defu, do you want to say it again?" If you dare to say more than half a word, I will punish you immediately. I'll leave now, and see if you dare to stop me. ”

Jiang Yuan said, pushing Gao Defu away and walking forward.

It's the first time I've spoken to Gao Defu like this, and I don't know if he's scared by himself. After walking a little way, I found that Gao Defu did not catch up. Jiang Yuan was proud in his heart, it seemed that the method taught by the queen mother was not only useful for the concubines, but also for the minions below. She's probably too kind on weekdays, and she occasionally gets angry, which seems to be pretty good.

Gao Defu watched Jiang Yuan leave, knowing that he couldn't stop her, so he prepared to find Chu Chengbi. When he raised his foot, he was stopped by Guan Yu.

"Lord Guan?"

"I am responsible for the safety of the emperor, and Father-in-law Gao can rest assured."

"Then do you still need to tell the Queen Mother about this matter?"

Guan Yu said expressionlessly, "It depends on what Grandpa Gao thinks." The emperor has only been back and forth for a few hours, and nothing can happen. ”

Gao Defu thought for a moment and said to Guan Yu, "Then the emperor's safety depends on Lord Guan." ”

Guan Yu nodded slightly, and then followed Jiang Yuan.

Guan Yu didn't plan to show up to interrupt Jiang Yuan's plan. As soon as he appeared, maybe Jiang Yuan would feel that he was here to stop her. It was difficult for her to leave the palace, so she felt more comfortable. So Guan Yu changed into his regular clothes, but he followed not far away.

When I got out of the palace, I saw Jiang Yuan find a place to go in. Not long after, when Jiang Yuan came out, Guan Yu was surprised. Jiang Yuan actually changed into women's clothes.

But this is the first time Guan Yu has seen this appearance. His eyes were fixed on Jiang Yuan's body and he couldn't take his eyes off. Ever since he was called to him by Chu Chengbi, he had already known the biggest secret of the Jin Kingdom. At that time, Chu Chengbi threatened the lives of his parents at home, and gave him poison regularly, so that he swore to keep this secret and protect Jiang Yuan's personal safety. Since then, his gaze on Jiang Yuan has changed.

Retracting his thoughts, Guan Yu couldn't help but think that this emperor was too bold, if this matter was seen by others, wouldn't it cause trouble? What's more, after Jiang Yuan changed into women's clothes, she looked like a fairy, and she would definitely attract the attention of others. Guan Yu hesitated to step forward to stop it, but in the next moment, Guan Yu saw Jiang Yuan's face covered with a veil. Guan Yu rest assured, it seems that Jiang Yuan is still prepared.

It's just that where is she going to go when she's dressed like this?

Guan Yu had to follow quietly.

Jiang Yuan had never been to Su Yan's house, so he didn't know the specific location of Su Mansion. But Su Mansion is a big household in the imperial capital, and it is natural to know if you ask someone casually.

Jiang Yuan's voice is still like that, so she has to speak with a sharp voice, but fortunately, no one is suspicious.

When asked where Su Fu was, Jiang Yuan went there.

On the way, I suddenly saw an old woman squatting by the river, stretching out her arms into the water and not knowing what to do. Jiang Yuan immediately ran over and grabbed the old woman.

"Mine, my jade bracelet...... Fall, fall into the river......" said the old woman panting, her face was as white as paper, and there was no blood at all.

Jiang Yuan didn't say much after hearing this, and simply went down the river directly.

It's still February, and the river is very cold. The coolness was in the bones, and Jiang Yuan felt his body tremble. But since she was determined to help the old woman, she must help to the end. It can be seen that this jade bracelet must be very important to her.

Jiang Yuan wiped in the river for a few hours, and heard someone calling her on the shore, but she didn't hear it. The main thing is that he is so cold that his whole body is almost numb. Finally, in the mud, she touched something, like a bracelet. She picked it up and shook it at the old woman on the shore.

The old woman nodded excitedly, "That's it, that's it." Girl, come up quickly. ”

After the old woman finished speaking, two maids stepped forward and pulled Jiang Yuan ashore.

The old woman looked at Jiang Yuan, her whole body was wet, and although she was trying her best to restrain herself, she could still see that she was very cold. It's still February, the so-called February spring breeze is like scissors, and the river is still very cold.

"Little girl, you are really tired for the sake of your old body. I asked two maids to buy some things for me, but I accidentally dropped the jade bracelet into the river. It was given to me by my lord before he died, and I never took it off when I wore it on my body. Thanks to the girl, I fished up the bracelet. Hurry up and go to the house with the old man to change clothes and warm up. If it's late, I'm afraid I'm going to catch a cold. ”

Jiang Yuan felt that something was wrong, she couldn't go back to the palace like this, let alone see Su Yan, and when she was still hesitating, she listened to the old woman again, "Little girl, don't hesitate anymore." You are kind to the old body, and let the old body do something for you no matter what, otherwise how can I bear it? The house is not far from here, so the girl should come with me quickly. ”

Jiang Yuan thought about it and agreed. At least you can warm up, quickly change your clothes, and you can go to see Su Yan. If he returned to the palace at this time, he didn't know when he would have the opportunity to come out to visit Su Yan again.

Jiang Yuan nodded, and then couldn't help but sneeze.

The old woman was busy and helped Jiang Yuan onto a sedan chair. Guan Yu followed behind. Just now, he kept watching Jiang Yuan touch around in the river, and he couldn't bear it. But he couldn't stand it, so he could only observe secretly. He thought that if Jiang Yuan fell into the river, he must have taken her away directly without hesitation.

Guan Yu followed behind the sedan chair, and when the sedan chair stopped, Guan Yu couldn't help but be stunned. Because this sedan chair did not fall elsewhere, but just at the door of Rongfu.

Could it be that the old woman ......

Guan Yu stood behind, not knowing what to do? At this time, there were no three hundred taels of silver here. But if he doesn't come forward, what if Jiang Yuan is touched by Rong Jiu?

When he was thinking about it, he saw that Jiang Yuan had been helped into the Rong Mansion. Guan Yu saw that Jiang Yuan's expression was not good, thinking that she still needed to wipe it off quickly, take a hot bath, and drink some ginger soup to warm up her body.

That's it, maybe Rong Jiu is not at home, or even if she is at home, she may not be able to recognize her.

Jiang Yuan is actually very witty, which Guan Yu knows.

The old woman was no stranger, it was the old lady of Rongfu. After she entered, she hurriedly ordered someone to prepare hot water, and ordered someone to prepare ginger soup.

Jiang Yuan took a hot bath alone and changed into a set of clothes that Mrs. Rong had prepared for her. She put the veil back on, and walked out of the room.

"Girl, hurry up and drink the ginger soup to warm up." As soon as he got out of the house, someone brought a bowl of hot ginger soup, Jiang Yuan quickly drank it, and immediately felt much more comfortable.

Wiping his mouth, Jiang Yuan felt that it was time for him to go. It was already a waste of too much time to pick up the jade bracelet for Mrs. Rong, and if she went back later, Chu Chengbi would definitely be to blame for this incident.

Jiang Yuan thought about it, so he decided to leave here quickly. didn't care about being polite, Jiang Yuan decided to say goodbye. When she saw the maidservant in front of her carrying the bowl away, she hurried to find out where the gate was.

When he was about to leave, he was stopped.

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw a familiar face, it was the woman she met at the Lantern Festival that day. If it was an ordinary woman, Jiang Yuan might not necessarily remember it. But the person standing next to the woman at that time was Rong Jiu, so Jiang Yuan couldn't forget her.

"You're the kind girl who helped my mother? Mother specially asked me to look for you, let's go to the main hall. Mother will thank you very much. Rong Yu said to Jiang Yuan with a smile.

Mother? She was standing beside Rong Jiu, she must be someone from Rong Jiu. And now the old woman is her mother again? Isn't it...... Jiang Yuan's eyes looked up and saw the hanging lantern. There was a word on the lantern.

This turned out to be Rongfu.

Jiang Yuan felt the sky fall. How could she come to the Rong Mansion by mistake? These people don't recognize her, but what if they meet Rong Jiuke?

Rong Yu looked at Jiang Yuan's eyes as if she was a little panicked, so she took Jiang Yuan's hand affectionately and said, "Don't be nervous, but you are still not very comfortable when you catch a cold?" Let's go, follow me to meet my mother, who is quite kind on weekdays. She said thank you! ”

Jiang Yuan was dragged by Rong Yu to see Mrs. Rong.

Jiang Yuan saw Mrs. Rong in the main hall, compared to just now, this old woman who lost something and was anxious became Mrs. Rong in a blink of an eye, which caught Jiang Yuan off guard. When facing Mrs. Rong, she couldn't help but get nervous again.

"Does the girl feel more comfortable?" When Mrs. Rong saw Jiang Yuan coming, she asked with concern, her loving face and tone made Jiang Yuan even wonder if Rong Jiu was her son, why was the mother and son so different.

Jiang Yuan shook his head.

"There are some small gifts here, and I ask the girl to accept them to show her gratitude." A maid beside Mrs. Rong came over with a few ingots of gold.

Jiang Yuan hurriedly waved his hand, and then thought that if he didn't speak at this time, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to. She deliberately held her throat and said, "This is absolutely unacceptable." I didn't pick up the jade bracelet for the old lady for this. ”

Rong Yu frowned after hearing this, "What's wrong with the girl's voice?" It doesn't sound natural. ”

Jiang Yuan hurriedly said, "I suffered from a cold a few days ago, and my throat was uncomfortable, and I haven't recovered yet, please forgive me." ”

When Mrs. Rong heard this, she immediately said, "Then didn't it make the girl's condition worse today?" It's an old body, it's not. Eighth child, I remember that there is no special medicine for throat treatment in our house? Bring some to this girl. ”

"Yes, mother."

Seeing Rong Yu retreat, Jiang Yuan felt that he needed to leave quickly, and there was a change when he was late, so he immediately said, "Old lady, forgive me for staying for a long time, I still have important things to do, and I need to leave quickly." This time has been delayed for a long time. ”

Old Madam Rong said with guilt on her face, "It's the old body that has caused the girl." ”

"Then I'll take my leave."

Jiang Yuan was about to go out as he spoke, but Old Madam Rong hurriedly stood up and said, "Girl, you take away this gold, and you also have to take away the medicine!" ”

Jiang Yuan turned around and replied, "Let's come back to pick it up again when we have a chance in the future." As for the medicine, I don't need it, I'll be fine in a few days. ”

Old Madam Rong looked at Jiang Yuan, she liked it very much, and hurriedly asked, "Then the bad girl also let the old man know your name." ”

"My name is Yunshang." Jiang Yuan blurted out.

After that, Jiang Yuan hurried out of the Rong Mansion, but when he walked to the gate, he collided with someone. Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and found that the person in front of him turned out to be Rong Jiu.
