CHAPTER XXXIII

Jiang Churan sent Yao Pu to the door of Hsinchu Palace, Yao Pu looked at the obedient emperor at this moment and was stunned for a moment, as if the emperor who was still in Taihe Palace last night with him and intended to kill him woke up and found a loyal minister, it was completely a timely stop-loss appearance.

"Yao Xiang walks slowly, I won't send it."

Yao Pu saluted the little emperor: "The minister retired." ”

Yun Zhi behind her also bowed and bowed, and accompanied Jiang Churan into the Hsinchu Palace.

Yao Pu's expression was complicated, and before he left, he looked up at the gold-painted plaque: Hsinchu Palace. The sentence "It's all up to the old cadres for support" he thought it was Jiang Junlan, but was it him? But think about it, the little emperor doesn't like this biological mother, so ...... Jiang Churan has affection for him?

Yun Zhi brought the brewed tea to the imperial case, and said with some surprise: "Your Majesty actually gave the jade to the prime minister?" ”

Jiang Churan nodded and said, "He can't leave yet, since I want to keep him for playing, I naturally have to do a full set." ”

Yun Zhi let out an "oh" and said, "It's a pity that Your Majesty's favorite piece of Hetian jade." ”

"It's not a pity, it's worthy of Yao Pu."

……

Yao Pu came out of the Hsinchu Palace, he didn't leave immediately, and walked to the Imperial Garden. There is only one person to serve in the palace, Jiang Churan, and she doesn't like to hang out here, the servants in the palace are not as attentive to the rest of the palace as they are to watch the dishes here, and it is already autumn, and the grass here has "run out of oil and dried up", and no one has the leisure and elegance to hang out here.

He walked to the pavilion and sat down, the scene was still there, but all Yao Pu saw was a willow hanging with a few sparse leaves by the lake.

Yao Pu's fingers rubbed the ancient pine on the jade, and he thought: Jiang Churan has always been like this, always like to give him some illusory hopes, this jade pendant is, her soft words are, Zhenning thirteen years is also ......

He sighed in his heart: I have planted and planted orchids, and I am not willing to sit still and watch it lose again, but Your Majesty, you are stunned not to give me a beautiful spring.

Yao Pu retracted his gaze, behind him was a pool of residual lotus, and occasionally one or two fish fluctuated in circles and ripples, if the thirteenth year of Zhenning was a hurdle that Jiang Churan did not want to pass, why not Yao Pu's?

He still clearly remembered that it was the thirteenth year of Zhenning, in mid-June, the Imperial Garden. It was the summer when the foliage was luxuriant, and it was cool in the morning, so he and the little emperor, who was only ten years old, wandered around here. At that time, I only knew that the palace was safe, but I didn't want to hide evil intentions in those leafy breads.

This is how the change happened, holding a knife and jumping down from a cloud of greenery in a high place, he and the emperor girl were stunned in place, and when Yao Pu came back to his senses, he found that the masked man had already put the knife on Jiang Churan's neck, and at that time the little emperor girl was just a canary who was raised in the stars, and there were already two lines of tears on her face.

Jiang Junlan had already fallen into madness at that time, and she was extremely cruel, and the palace people who were sent and killed were as deserted as the current Imperial Garden.

The delicate knife slashed the delicate neck of the emperor, and a stream of blood slowly spread into the collar, he did not hurt the killer but enjoyed the process of torture and killing very much, and defiantly humiliated the prince he swore to follow in front of Yao Pu.

The moment Yao Pu saw the blood, he only felt that a string in his brain "collapsed" and broke, and there was less fear of hindering, he rushed forward desperately, and the sixteen-year-old boy's upright body burst out with incomparable strength, or "breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat" made Jiang Churan's belief in survival his indomitable blade.

Yao Pu really restrained the knife-wielding hand of the fine work and pushed Jiang Churan out suddenly, but the explosive power was only for a moment, and the sixteen-year-old boy was shaking the tree against the adult man after all, and the fine work became angry... It wasn't until the short knife stabbed into his body that Yao Pu remembered that this was a life and death situation.

The goal of the fine work is not him, but it is his duty to protect Jiang Churan, and he tried his best to earn a little time for Jiang Churan to escape, but fortunately, the little emperor was smart, she ran away for a long time before she stopped and kept throwing stones at the fine work, also trying to save him.

Fortunately, the sound of the Imperial Garden soon attracted Yun Zhi and the others, and the assassin was unwilling to bite his tongue and commit suicide when he saw that he had fallen into the disadvantage, and Yao Pucai finally couldn't support it and fell down with Hosaku.

The assassination of the emperor is a big thing, it is indeed a big thing...

This is the kind of thing that came to Jiang Junlan's ears, and Yao Pu, who was originally a meritorious rescuer, became a criminal who failed to protect him.

Yao Pu knelt outside the Deqing Palace, the knife wound on the right side of his waist and abdomen was simply bandaged to temporarily stop the bleeding, and the young man's back knelt straight, although there was a holy decree thrown outside by Jiang Junlan in front of him, which was clearly written: Yao Pu is not effective in escorting, and he will be killed immediately.

But the little emperor is still pleading in the Deqing Palace, and the people outside are afraid that things will take a turn for the better, who would not dare to do anything to the young man, and besides, it is just the words of a mad emperor...... The two are more convincing than the little prince in the palace.

But the hall could only hear Jiang Junlan's roar: "Even if I kill him today, he will kneel down and thank Junen!" ”

From beginning to end, Yao Pu couldn't hear Jiang Churan's voice, and then there was a sound of porcelain breaking in the hall, accompanied by Yun Zhi's exclamation: "Your Highness! ”

Yao Pu's heart tightened, his hand was held hard, the wound on his waist began to seep blood outward again, and his somewhat chapped lips trembled. Gao Yang in June saw the young man's head slammed down, and his thin back trembled: "Sinner... Yao Pu was not effective in protecting the emperor's daughter, and he was willing to receive ......"

It's just that before he finished speaking, the palace door in front of him was opened, Yao Pu raised his eyes, he saw Jiang Churan smiling at him with a pale face, Yao Pu only felt that his breath was stagnant, Jiang Churan was dripping blood from the corners of his forehead, and there were tears on his eyelashes, and the far sky blue dress in front of her knees had been stained red with blood.

Jiang Churan held on to the door frame, and after she looked at Yao Pu, she said to the officer who was waiting: "Your Majesty has taken back your order, and you will only have a staff of fifty." ”

She turned to Yun Zhi and said, "Yun... Yun Niang, take that holy decree. ”

Yao Pu was still kneeling on the ground, he could only see Jiang Churan who had calmed down, the smile on her face was bright and bright, Yao Pu then watched Jiang Churan grasp the holy decree in his hand and hand it with a cloud branch, and lit the holy decree! Before he could stop it, the tongue of fire quickly swallowed the thin silk paper, and the remaining ashes were lifted by the wind and flew onto the boy's robe and even his face...... Yao Pu's eyes were full of surprise! How dare she?

And everyone else tacitly opened their eyes, and broke out in a cold sweat, such a big disrespectful thing, even if they looked at it, they would be judged as the crime of killing their heads.

……

Yao Pu came back to his senses, his fingers tightened unconsciously, and the fifty canes were sturdy, giving him the most intuitive feeling: pain. But when the pain converged, he felt paralyzed, Yao Pu finally discovered his feelings for Jiang Churan at that time, and he smiled bitterly: It was not love, it turned out to be love......

Fifty rods rebelled against the filthy thoughts he had been hiding.

When the two or three servants walked into the imperial garden, they saw Yao Pu a little unexpected, and he hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the prime minister." ”

Yao Pu came back to his senses, and his voice carried a trace of perceptible sadness: "What did Er Cao do? ”

"Back to the prime minister, the slave will clean up the remnants of the royal garden."

Yao Pu nodded and said, "Even so, there is not much left in that photo." ”

"The prime minister walks slowly."

……

Yun Zhi looked at Jiang Churan, who was practicing calligraphy, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Yao Xiang has already left." ”

Jiang Churan's movements in his hands kept making a "hmm" sound.

Yun Zhi couldn't say what he felt in his heart: "If Your Majesty really can't kill Yao Xiang, why don't you let him go this time?" ”

Jiang Churan heard her words, and the movements in her hands were stunned, and her last stroke was ruined...

"I ......" Jiang Churan didn't know what to say.

The hall fell silent for a while, and suddenly Jiang Churan hid the tangled face on his face, and sneered, but he was obviously lacking in confidence: "Even if I... I really let him go, Yun Niang still thought he could really go? The forbidden army had already checked that he had a weak relationship with his grandmother, and he was really willing to give up everything today? And with my investigation of the Yao family, they can be an unfilial son without mourning, and they will not let Yao Pu lose his position. ”

Yun Zhi was silent, she wanted to ask: Then why did His Majesty give him this step and let him stay reasonably? But she didn't ask.

……

Yao Pu pushed the door out of the study and asked Qiu Qi to give the letter in his hand: "Send things to Yao Jing." ”

"Yes."
