Volume 1 The First Encounter Chapter 36 The Shocking Truth

Before Li Jiao'er could figure out how to answer, Xiao Ningan spoke in a deep voice: "Third sister." ”

The third princess saw that the prince's face was pale, so she only snorted and stopped talking.

Xiao Ningan said to Li Jiaoer: "It turns out that your store also has a private room, which is interesting. But I just went out with my sister today, and when I passed by your store, I remembered the matter of Zhen in the palm of my hand, so I came to see it, and I wanted to thank my wife, and I didn't bother much. ”

To put it mildly, Xiao Feifei's attitude was revealed.

Li Jiaoer had no choice but to salute: "Last time, the mother had already rewarded me, and the little girl really didn't dare to be the prince's thank you again." ”

Xiao Ningan looked at Li Jiao'er, who was soft-spoken and well-mannered, and there was a smile on her face: "I believe in Mrs. Li, but I don't know the use of treasures in the palm of my hand." ”

Rao is Li Jiao'er has a good temper, and she is also a little angry.

…… So, what can the treasure in the palm of your hand do?

These big people always talk in twists and turns, and they are uncomfortable to listen to.

Li Jiao'er was full of doubts in her heart, and she couldn't shake her face at the Venerable, so she could only say humbly:

"Your Royal Highness, the little girl is just relying on her ancestors to make a name for herself, relying on some craftsmanship to run this small shop, and the thing in the palm of her hand is because she doesn't want to see Chen Guo arrogant, so she just has a try, as for the rest, the little girl really doesn't know."

Xiao Ningan listened to her sincerely, but her complexion still did not change much, and she only said indifferently:

"Madame tried, but she broke Chen Guo's assassination situation and eliminated a catastrophe, which can be regarded as unintentional."

Assassination?!

Li Jiao'er was shallow in the end, she couldn't hide her thoughts, and looked up at Xiao Ning'an suddenly, sweating on her forehead.

She naturally didn't think that the "assassination" that could make the prince and the third princess fall in love was the one in the alley.

What else can I do with the treasure in my hand?

For assassins, for assassination.

No wonder, no wonder.

Mother, what's going on?

The third princess, Xiao Feifei, looked at her coldly from the side, suspecting that she was pretending, but she couldn't see the flaws.

Xiao Ningan looked at Li Jiao'er's deeply shocked expression, and his face still did not change, making it impossible to see how he was worried about this matter in his heart.

"Zhong Jing has already gained insight into Chen Guo's conspiracy, and his wife has helped him break the situation, and now that the matter is over, his wife doesn't have to take it to heart anymore." As he spoke, he turned around and picked up a set of wine glasses carved from tree roots on the Bogu shelf, and after tasting it, he said to Li Jiaoer: "I think this thing is good, wrap it up." ”

Li Jiao'er was unsettled, and she didn't dare to ask, so she could only say to the back: "Someone!" ”

Only then did a guy run out, packed the set of wine glasses with a good box, and handed it to the little guy brought by Xiao Ning'an.

The little guy gave the guy a string of untidy money, and the guy put it in his hand, about no more, no less, didn't dare to count, hunched his waist and retreated.

Xiao Ning'an's side said to Xiao Fangfang, who was staring at Li Jiao'er: "Let's go." ”

He said to Li Jiao'er again: "Madame stays, you don't have to send it." ”

The two nobles came unexpectedly, and they were surrounded by everyone and left in a hurry.

Only Li Jiaoer stood still, thinking back to all kinds of weirdness during this period of time, the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that there were flaws everywhere, but it was dangerous everywhere.

Qin Le came in from behind, and asked in a trembling voice: "Jiaojiao, I heard Yuntuan say, are those the crown prince and the third princess?" ”

Li Jiao'er nodded stiffly, and suddenly walked out.

Qin Le hurriedly pushed the clouds to follow, and he chased him to the door: "Where are you going?" ”

"Go find him," Li Jiao'er didn't look back, her lips trembled, "I have something to ask him." ”

*

On Xiao Ningan's carriage, he glanced at Xiao Fangfang disapprovingly, and said, "The third sister is too reckless." ”

Xiao Fangfang felt a little wound on her forehead, and said unhappily: "Brother, do you still blame me for being reckless?" Xue Zhen sang a good drama with his father in the front, and then let his wife come out to earn fame, which provoked the heavenly family, what kind of good person does my brother think he is? ”

Xiao Ningan was speechless for a while, closed his eyes for a moment, and then sighed, as if his spirit was gone.

"But I believe that Mrs. Li is innocent."

"But I don't believe it." Xiao Fangfang replied.

"Third sister, don't mess around." Xiao Ningan advised.

Xiao Fangfang looked at him and asked, "Brother said this, is it in the capacity of the prince?" Or as an older brother? ”

“…… What are these words? ”

"The prince's order is the order of the monarch and the minister, and the minister does not dare to disobey; But if the elder brother commands, the younger sister can always be coquettish, when she doesn't hear it. Xiao Feifei raised her head and said arrogantly.

Xiao Ningan was amused by her, and shook her head helplessly: "What can I say about this?" ”

"Then let's not talk about it." Xiao Feifei said, "But don't worry, brother, I have a point." ”

Xiao Ningan stopped talking, only leaned against the wall of the car, and continued to close his eyes to recuperate.

*

Li Jiao'er knew that Xue Zhenxin had resigned from his position as a city gate guard, and he was diligent in his work, so he should stay in the military department during the day these days, and he didn't care about anything else, so he took the cloud group to the yamen of the military department first.

The little official at the door looked at Li Jiaoer's ordinary dress and wanted to drive away, but when he heard Li Jiaoer report the door, his tone immediately stammered:

"Madam, the prince came back from the court today, and stayed only half an hour, and after setting the rules for a new errand, he went back to his house."

"Back home? When did you leave? Li Jiao'er was very surprised, and raised her hand to signal Yuntuan to give him a silver reward.

The little official who took the reward was even happier, nodded and flattered: "I walked about a cup of tea." ”

Weighing the reward in his hand, the little official also lowered his voice and reminded: "Madame doesn't know, today the prince of the court received the reward, and when the prince left the yamen, his face was not very good. ”

Even though Li Jiao'er was confused, she still tried her best to listen to every word of the little official.

Although she doesn't understand the world, she has been in the Hou Mansion for three years, and she knows that this kind of little official is the most well-informed, and if she can let him remind her, it must be unusual.

The assassination of Chen Guo, the conflict between the emperor and the queen, His Majesty's Shen Yu, the visit of the prince and the princess......

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.

"I see." Although Li Jiaoer thought a lot in her heart, she didn't show any clues, and only walked home with Yuntuan quickly.

When the little official looked at Li Jiao'er's back, he didn't have much respect, but he had just put up his silver sleeves, and suddenly saw an acquaintance from another direction, and greeted him with a smile:

"Huai Wang An, why is King Huai here today?"

*

After Li Jiaoer and Yun Tuan returned to the Marquis of Anyang Mansion in this sweltering weather, her middle clothes were already wet with sweat, but when she saw that Xue Zhen's horse was in the stable outside the second gate, she didn't care about changing clothes and eating tea, nor did she care about the strange eyes of the men and servants, and hurried to Xue Zhen's study.

Unexpectedly, Xue Zhen was not in the study, and even Chang Feng was not seen.

She asked the little guys in the courtyard where Xue Zhen went, and they all said that they didn't know.

Although it is a habitual thing, Li Jiao'er is very anxious today, and she can't help but bring some unhappiness on her face.

It's just that she didn't want to waste time with them, so she just withdrew and wanted to go to the back garden to find Xue Zhen.

She and Yun Tuan didn't go far when they happened to see a little maid named Wufu, who was in charge of sprinkling and sweeping in the back garden, holding a stone the size of a sea bowl, coming this way.

Seeing Li Jiao'er, Wufu hurriedly stopped, squatted down with a smile and saluted: "Madame An." ”

Li Jiao'er bowed her head and asked her, "Are you from the back garden?" What to do with this? ”

"Yes, there is a bonsai in Shizi Academy, and a good stone is missing, so let me send it over." Wufu Road.

When Li Jiao'er heard this, she immediately asked again: "You came from behind, can you see the son?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, the prince is in the Canglang Pavilion," Wufu said with a smile, "The slave sent it over after seeing this stone for the prince." ”

Knowing Xue Zhen's whereabouts, Li Jiao'er made a slight decision: "I know, you should be busy." ”

"Yes." After the five blessings were saluted, he gave way and watched Li Jiao'er's figure disappear on the way to the back garden, then he turned around and walked into the study courtyard of Xue Zhen.

*

There is a small pond in the backyard of the Hou Mansion of Anyang, all the scenery is built according to the pond, one step at a time, it is very delicate and beautiful.

Xue Zhen attaches great importance to these matters, so even if he is often not at home, the servants of the garden deacon do not dare to slack off and take care of them all the time.

It's just that Li Jiao'er is about to walk to Canglang Pavilion today, and she hasn't seen any servants, let alone Changfeng, who has never left Xue Zhen's left and right.

Li Jiao'er didn't realize the strangeness, until she bypassed the mountain rock in front of her and could go up the stairs to the Canglang Pavilion, when she suddenly heard the voice of Xue Zhen and a man talking in front of her.

Anyone there? No wonder the servants were dismissed.

Even though she was anxious, Li Jiaoer still slowed down.

If Xue Zhen was discussing government and military affairs with others, it would be really bad for her to go.

"Then Uncle Cousin is going to stay in the capital these days?"

"Yes." Du Day's voice rang out.

It turned out to be Du Day? Li Jiaoer stopped.

Since Du Sun is here, what is such a mysterious and mysterious thing? Even those who served were dismissed?

When she was hesitating to go out, she heard Du Tian ask Xue Zhen: "I have heard a little about the previous things, but it is a pity that you can return to Beijing to take up your post so easily, but for the sake of ...... I have to leave Beijing again, alas, the turmoil in the DPRK and China is even more chaotic than the last time I left Beijing. ”

Xue Zhen seemed to smile: "It's okay, I'm willing to go to the northern frontier." If you can get a name or two at the border, it will be happier than fighting with people in Beijing. ”

Li Jiaoer rarely listened to Xue Zhen's bold words, but somehow, she felt that although his words were proud, she was more indescribably discouraged.

However, it sounded like they were talking about the imperial court, and she decided to step back for the time being.

But before she could move, she heard Du Tian sigh again:

"If you can hide it from others, how can you hide it from me? Didn't you go to Northern Xinjiang because of your nephew? ”

For me?

Li Jiaoer was surprised again and stopped again.

"Zhong Jing, since your nephew and daughter-in-law have nothing to do with those things, why don't you let it go? Tang Ying...... It's dead after all. Du Day's soft words seemed to be full of sorrow.

In the quiet garden, the breeze was gentle, and the sound of ripples in the pond brought her mother's name to Li Jiao'er's ears.

Did you hear it wrong?

She thought she had misheard.

But the next side covered his mouth and was looking at her clouds in surprise, but let her know that she heard correctly.

"Tang Ying and I have a grudge against killing my father and brother...... Uncle Cousin, how can I forget? ”

It was Xue Zhen's cold and irrepressible voice.

Li Jiao'er buzzed in her mind, only to feel that the sky was spinning, her feet were staggering, and she didn't know what day it was for a while.

The conversation in the pavilion came to an abrupt end.

When Li Jiao'er came to her senses, she happened to meet Xue Zhen's deep and blood-colored eyes.
