Chapter 221: Temptation
"Changle, who's outside?" Jiang Xinyu pretended not to know and asked Zhao Changle, who pushed the door and frowned.
"It's a person, it should be a homeless person, and he said that he heard that it was very noisy here, so he came over to take a look."
"Yes," Jiang Xinyu was noncommittal. Isn't it obvious that such a big fire has happened, and it's just to come and see?
"Indeed, as we said earlier, the possibility of a stream of people leading this matter is the greatest." Zhao Changle keenly felt the coldness in Jiang Xinyu's words.
"These are naturally understandable, think about it, I have to have the house itself is in the headwind, even if it is on fire, it is impossible for the fire to become so fierce at once, not to mention that no one noticed it in advance, there were patrolling guards at that time, how could they wait until the fire could not be extinguished to find out that it was on fire? You should also think about the strange part of this. β
Zhao Changle's face changed, and he thought about it carefully, "Xinyu, you are right, I was negligent, such a big mistake was not discovered at all in advance." β
"It's not your fault," Jiang Xinyu comforted, "You are also eager to save people's hearts, and negligence is inevitable." β
"These Diao people!" Shaoqing was almost angry when he heard this, "You dare to hurt Niangniang, Your Majesty will definitely not let them go!" β
"These homeless people are really bold," Zhao Changle's face was gloomy, "They should also know your identity, and they dare to set fire?" β
"Just the homeless people will definitely not do such a thing, if someone instructs it, then maybe......" Jiang Xinyu narrowed her eyes and muttered.
"What?" Zhao Changle didn't hear clearly.
"It's nothing, Changle, you've been busy all night, go back and rest early, I may not be able to deal with things these days, and you have to be careful about everything."
"Well, I'm really tired, then Xinyu, you have a good rest, and if you have any problems, send Shaoqing to find me." After Zhao Changle finished speaking, he cared about her again, left the house and went back to rest.
"Shaoqing, I'll sleep for a while, remember to call me if you have anything." Jiang Xinyu commanded, closed his eyes and began to pretend to sleep, and quickly thought of countermeasures in his heart.
On the other side, the camp of displaced people.
The young homeless person who had been sneaking outside Jiang Xinyu's room quickly ran into a room, "Brother Zhang Yan! He shouted to the man sitting in the tent with his eyes closed.
"Xiaozhu, why are you in a hurry," Zhang Yan was still looking at the letter in his hand, and his eyes swept to the person named Xiaozhu.
"Brother Zhang Yan, big news!" Xiaozhu leaned into Zhang Yan's ear and told what he had seen.
"Oh? That fire, I know. Kindness? Xue Fei Niangniang is injured? Zhang Yan thought for a moment and patted Xiaozhu's shoulder, "Good job, I'll give you a big credit." β
Xiaozhu immediately left with a smile.
Zhang Yan stood up, walked back and forth in the tent for a long time, beckoned someone to give two orders, and continued to walk around.
"Big brother, what happened, why are you so anxious?" Zhang Ting opened the curtain of the camp tent and saw the frowning eldest brother at a glance.
"Second brother, come here." Zhang Yan sent someone to call Zhang Ting over and repeated what Xiaozhu had said to Zhang Ting as it was.
"Concubine Xue was almost burned to death, and now she has been rescued, but she is injured?" Zhang Ting secretly chewed on the information from these words, while Zhang Yan stared at his younger brother intently, waiting for him to make a decision.
The second brother is smart, he is his brainchild, he will ask the second brother about everything before making a decision, and he does not feel ashamed, they are the same mother, and they are connected by life and death.
"Big brother, let's go visit Concubine Xue first, and then make plans after seeing her specific situation." Zhang Ting pondered for a long time and made an insurance decision. Zhang Yan was naturally full of promises. Neither of them knew the current situation, at this time they could be regarded as the opposite side of Jiang Xinyu, if they were really seriously injured, they would have to plan well.
The two of them made a decision, left their room, and went to Jiang Xinyu's residence on the side, and happened to see Shaoqing who was guarding outside.
Shaoqing saw that the person who came was Zhang Ting and Zhang Yan, and when he thought about it, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "What are you two doing here?" β
"This girl," Zhang Ting bowed slightly, "Our two brothers heard that Concubine Xue was injured, so they came to visit. β
"No need, our mother has already slept, don't disturb her!" Shaoqing didn't give face at all and immediately refused.
Zhang Yan and Zhang Ting glanced at each other, and just as they were about to say something, they heard a faint female voice from inside the room: "Shaoqing, who is outside?" β
"Mother, did we wake you up?" Shaoqing said nervously, "It's Zhang Yan and Zhang Ting, who said they were coming to visit you." β
"Let them in."
Shaoqing glanced at Zhang Yan and Zhang Ting unwillingly, "Okay, Niangniang let you in, don't make her angry!" β
Zhang Ting said yes with a smile, pushed the door and walked in with the eldest brother, and saw the woman half-leaning on the side of the bed at a glance, at this time her face was pale and bloodless, and she looked like a weak willow supporting the wind, it was Jiang Xinyu.
"The grass people meet the Snow Princess." Zhang Yan and Zhang Ting still dare not omit in terms of etiquette, at least on the surface, they have not completely torn their faces.
"When the two of them came, they should have greeted each other well, but unfortunately this palace is now weak and can only talk to the two of them in bed, which is really rude." Jiang Xinyu said this, but she didn't look embarrassed, and her body didn't move.
"Where," Zhang Ting said with a smile, "Concubine Xue's jade body is important, and the two of us naturally won't mind a lot." I don't know how my mother is doing now? β
"That's it," Jiang Xinyu's beautiful eyes showed a hint of sadness, "God forbid, let me escape to death, I can't ask for more." β
"I don't know why it's on fire?"
"I don't know......" Jiang Xinyu gently wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, "I felt the smell of smoke when I was still asleep, and when I woke up, I found that the fire had already burned." β
Zhang Yan and Zhang Ting glanced at each other, but it was still Zhang Ting who spoke: "In this case, the two of us will not bother much, Niangniang has the blessing of God, and naturally the evil will turn into good fortune, as long as you take care of your care, recovery is just around the corner, and I hope that Niangniang will not be too sad and hurt her body." The two of us took our leave. β
"The two of you go slowly, and the palace won't send much." Jiang Xinyu bowed to Zhang Yan and Zhang Ting, and when she got up, she coughed lightly, as if it took her a lot of effort to say these few words.
Zhang Yan and Zhang Ting gave a salute, walked out, and slowly paced back to the camp of the displaced people.
Jiang Xinyu felt the two of them walk away, and slowly sat up straight, with a cold light flashing in her eyes. Fortunately, she never revealed that she knew martial arts in front of others, and she was easily deceived at this time, but Zhang Yan and Zhang Ting ...... Hmph, you can't let them go!
"Niangniang, what did those two people say just now?" Shaoqing walked in and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, it's just a sign of concern for me."
Jiang Xinyu smiled at Shaoqing, "The two of them are the leaders of the homeless people, you speak so politely, and you are not afraid that they will hold grudges." β
"I'm not afraid," Shaoqing sat at the table angrily, "Whoever dares to hurt Niangniang, that is my Shaoqing's enemy, I don't bother to give them a good face, Niangniang, you are a daughter, and you are favored by Your Majesty in the palace, who dares to give you a little face?" On weekdays, the brocade clothes and jade food are served, and even the pastries in the imperial dining room are not to be made, His Majesty will ask the imperial dining room to be redone, and also opened a small kitchen for the mother, which little master in the palace has such treatment? What kind of good life you have lived in the palace, what kind of crime have you suffered here, and they still want to hurt you! Shaoqing remembered it all, and when the time came, he would tell His Majesty the same, and let His Majesty avenge you and be angry! β
Now listening to Shaoqing's simple complaint, Jiang Xinyu couldn't help laughing. Let's talk to Shaoqing now, her naΓ―ve words can always bring a little different feeling to herself, maybe Shaoqing is a simple person like Xiaorou.
"Niangniang, you continue to rest, Shaoqing will stay outside." Shaoqing's eyes widened and said to Jiang Xinyu, "When you wake up, I'll ask the kitchen to make some light porridge and vegetables for you to eat." β
"Well," Shaoqing retreated, Jiang Xinyu lay on the bed, really felt a little tired, closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly.
In the main courtyard,
"Go, call a few of them, and say I have something important!" Zhang Yan returned to the room and instructed his subordinates.
The subordinates received the order and retreated, leaving only Zhang Yan and Zhang Ting in the tent.
"Big brother, I think we need to restrain the behavior of our subordinates." Zhang Ting frowned.
"What the second brother said is that I just want to announce this, and this time they have gone too far." Zhang Yan said in a low voice.
After a while, more than a dozen people came to Zhang Yan's tent one after another, and when they saw Zhang Yan's face sinking like water, they all didn't speak and sat in their seats.
After seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhang Yan stood up, "What is the purpose of calling everyone here this time, I guess you also know more or less in your hearts." β
The people below looked at each other, and they all looked at Zhang Yan.
"Presumably everyone has received the news that the courtyard where Concubine Xue lives is on fire, and she herself was almost burned to death, but fortunately she was rescued, but she was seriously injured."
"What about Concubine Xue's injuries?" There were strange looks on the faces of the people present, and they naturally knew about such a big thing. But now hearing such words, a man asked carefully.
"I just went to visit her with my second brother, she was seriously injured, her face was very bad, and she looked like she was going to recuperate for a long time." Zhang Yan replied in a deep voice.
"Isn't that great?" The man was happy, "Concubine Xue is a person sent by the imperial court, and she is originally our opponent, so there is nothing wrong with letting her suffer a loss, and it also lets her know how powerful we are." β
"Yes" and "That's right" should be harmonized one after another, but after seeing Zhang Yan's worse and worse face, he was silent.
