Chapter 7 (6)
In the courtyard of the capital of Qiancheng Villa, Yue Ning and Dian Yi and Yi knelt on the ground, and Yan Ziqian looked at the two of them uncertainly. Darkness kept getting up, and just wanted to speak, Yue Ning knelt down and took two steps forward, and said softly: "Dark one is to save me, which delayed the time to save the emperor, the two of us were exiled to an unknown village, no one around is credible, I and Dark were injured and hurried back to the border city, and then returned to Beijing with the saint, this way there is a saint to follow, and can not pass the news, but also ask the owner for forgiveness." ”
After that, Yue Ning knelt lower, frowned secretly, looked at Yue Ning's humble appearance, and couldn't stop feeling distressed in his heart, "The owner of the village, they all complain about their subordinates, if their subordinates don't fall into King Ning's trap, I can't ...... either."
Yan Ziqian sneered, "You two are in the same heart." He sat up, walked in front of Yue Ning, slammed Yue Ning's chin with a hand full of pustules, and lifted it hard, Yue Ning looked at him in a panic, his eyes were full of tears due to pain, adding a bit of pity to his posture, Yan Ziqian couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then put down Yue Ning like a relieved spirit, "Does the Holy Lord pay attention to you?" ”
Yue Ning lowered her head and remained silent. Seeing this, he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty was only found that day, and he only wanted to return to Beijing, and King Ning was about to ascend the throne, so he did not record Yuening, but his subordinates repeatedly mentioned Qiancheng Villa, and the saint will definitely remember it." ”
As everyone spoke, they heard the porter walk in with a eunuch bowing his head, and Yan Ziqian saw this and immediately greeted him. Dark One hurriedly helped Yue Ning up, and the two followed Yan Ziqian to the courtyard, and everyone knelt down.
The little eunuch was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, as if he had made a decree for the first time, and his speech was not very smooth, and his decree was quite simple, but he gave the name of the imperial merchant of Qiancheng Villa, and gave him a lot of gold and silver fields. After Yan Ziqian thanked him, he held back the anger in his heart, stood up, and walked to the little eunuch's side. At this time, Yan Ziqian's face was pustules, there were only a few hairs left, and his face was quite hideous, he forced a kind appearance, "Bother my father-in-law to run this trip, does Your Majesty have other wills?" ”
The little eunuch had heard that the owner of Qiancheng Mountain Villa was a very handsome son, but now when he saw such a disgusting monster, he took a few steps back in fright, threw the holy decree into Yan Ziqian's arms, took a few steps back, and said: "It's gone, our family has returned to the palace first, and the owner of the village is not going to send it." So saying, he put the gold and silver title deeds into the house, and trotted out.
Yan Ziqian saw the eunuch walk out, clenched the holy decree in his hand fiercely, threw it to the ground, glanced back at the dark one, snorted coldly, and went back to his courtyard.
Guo Chuanbai walked over from a distance, picked up the holy decree and took a rough look, and then went to Yan Ziqian's courtyard. Yan Ziqian saw Guo Chuanbai walking in, performed light skills and walked up, and his hand suddenly stuck Guo Chuanbai's neck, "Can I solve this poison?" I have to look forward to the fifteenth day every day, the antidote sent by the people in the Feng Cao Pavilion to live? I have always respected you, but now that I look like a ghost, even the eunuchs are afraid when they see it, what is the use of the emperor rewarding me with the name of an imperial merchant? ”
Guo Chuanbai sneered in his heart, Yan Ziqian has been kind to him for many years, and he looks obedient on weekdays, but now it seems that he just regards himself as a slave of Qiancheng Villa. Yan Ziqian is now not in human shape, and the emperor has only rewarded the title of imperial businessman, and for Qiancheng Villa, it is just like chicken ribs, from the eunuch who announced the decree, I think that the emperor may not look down on these rivers and lakes recklessly, and forced Yan Ziqian to take off his humble and polite coat.
Yan Ziqian saw that Guo Chuanbai didn't answer, and he was even more secretly angry in his heart, and threw Guo Chuanbai to the ground fiercely, and closed the door with a "bang".
Since that day, Jiang Lin has been locked up in a prison, and Huizong has not been able to reach a conclusion for several days. The civil and military officials closed the door at home, thinking about whether they had said anything that they shouldn't have said after Huizong disappeared. And Jiang Lin's subordinates and cronies are even more nervous now.
When the subordinates in Jiang's mansion heard the news of Jiang Lin's imprisonment, they all ran away that night. The empty Jiang Mansion was particularly lonely and lonely compared to the city two days ago. Mrs. Jiang stared blankly at the withered yellow leaves in the courtyard and the quiet house, and felt a little ridiculous. She has been fighting with Jiang Lin for many years, and she has never seen such a bleak scenery in the Zhang family in the Yue Kingdom. In the past, she liked the maple leaves of this tree in this house, and in autumn, the red and bright one added a bit of joy, but now it seems to be as bloodthirsty as an eyesore.
She knew she couldn't hide this time. She walked to Jiang Kun's study, everything in the study remained the same, it was still the same as when Jiang Kun left that day, it was the book on the table, and it was still the page that Jiang Kun saw. She gritted her teeth, picked up the pen and paper on the table, wrote down a short message, put it in a bottle and put it in the sewage can, and returned to Jiang Kun's study, resigned herself to fate and closed her eyes.
Half a day later, the mother-in-law who delivered the vegetables came to the Jiang Mansion again, and now there are heavy soldiers outside the Jiang Mansion, and they saw that the mother-in-law who delivered the vegetables only brought a basket of vegetables that Mrs. Jiang used on weekdays, so they put it in. The mother-in-law who delivered the food walked to Mrs. Jiang's room and said in a low voice, "Miss, the pavilion master asked you to come over." ”
Madame Chiang put on her hood and activated the mechanism, and the secret passage that led to the outside turned out to be in the bedroom of Madame Chiang and Jiang Lin. Madame Jiang walked through the dark secret passage, and she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart, and her palms were already dripping with cold sweat. After all, she was afraid that the Emperor of Yue would blame, if he really couldn't tolerate Jiang Kun, what was the use of being so careful? She risked her life just to save her son's life. If the Pavilion Master doesn't agree, what should she do?
She finally made her way to the hut of that day. The interior of the house is still furnished from that day. Behind the light veil, it was still the white jade screen that covered the appearance of the pavilion master. As soon as she took off her hood, she heard the pavilion lord say softly, "Madame has already thought of a way out for your son, why did she come to look for me?" ”
Mrs. Jiang hurriedly knelt down, "The concubine just wants to beg the pavilion master to save my son's life." The concubine has been a consultant in the cabinet for many years, and was sent to the north in the previous dynasty and lived in Yao all the year round. The concubine knows that His Majesty hates Yao people, although my son retains the blood of the Jiang family, but he also sent the pavilion master to spare my son's life for the sake of his subordinates who have worked hard for the pavilion for many years. ”
There was silence in the room for a moment, and Mrs. Jiang thought that she had pleaded here before, but the people in the house had a false relationship with her, and she only thought that the pavilion master would definitely not agree, so she could only hope for her brother. The Zhang family is a good general, so they will definitely be able to save her Kun'er's next life, right? She was still thinking about it, but she heard a girl's sigh from inside the room.
"You know, I originally meant to ruin the Jiang family, but I didn't think that you would be involved in the battle for the throne between King Ning and the emperor. If it weren't for you insisting on going your own way and inducing Jiang Lin to help King Ning, how could I lose this good chess piece? You just want to save Jiang Kun's life. Do you think I don't know what you're going to do? It's just that I think that King Ruoning will ascend the throne and become emperor, and the Jiang family will go further, and the cabinet will definitely not give up your chess piece; If he can't be called the emperor, Huizong will be missing and the whole country will be in turmoil, and I can take this opportunity to attack the capital, you will be the hero, and I will spare Jiang Kun. ”
Mrs. Jiang was dripping in cold sweat when she heard this, she knew that this woman was not big, and she thought that she and Jiang Kun could be designed to escape from this shackle, but who would have thought that this girl was so wise and close to the demon that she had already seen through the situation she had set up, but she had never said it.
"You are in private contact with your mother's family, but don't you want the Zhang family to live?"
The girl's fluttering words couldn't help but make Mrs. Jiang drenched in cold sweat, she only felt that her mind was a mess at this time, and she couldn't think of any way to get out of trouble, so she had to press her head lower. If the Zhang family is gone, then Jiang Kun will definitely not be guaranteed.
The girl sighed softly, "You know, if it had been in the past, I would never have agreed." ”
When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she burst into tears of despair and said loudly: "Why do the women in my pavilion work hard? It's just that you want to protect your mother's family, why do you want to force each other step by step? If it weren't for the service in the cabinet, I could have shown my strength in this Yao country, I was loyal to the country and the honor of my mother's family, but why do you want to force each other so much? If so......"
Before she could finish her sentence, the woman sat up and walked out. This was the first time in ten years that Madame Chiang had seen this woman come out from behind the screen, and she forgot to speak, just looked at her in a daze. The woman helped her up and said softly, "Now that I have someone I want to protect, I'll try." ”
