Chapter 21: Missing

The second prince fell to the ground suddenly, Sheng Yan, who was shrinking in the corner, cried so much that she cried out a few times in pain, and only then did she open her teary eyes after finding that the other party did not attack again.

Jiang Suqing was still holding the huge stone in his hand, looking at her with a pale face, and the right hand that hung down was trembling slightly, I don't know if he was afraid or because the stone was too heavy.

It was An Xia who came back to his senses first, stepped forward and took the stone in Jiang Suqing's hand, and cried: "Girl, what should I do......

Jiang Suqing was also stunned at that time, her mind wandered, and she felt that her brain was blank, and when she reacted, she had already done something wrong and injured the second prince.

Sheng Yan had seen Jiang Suqing, but the Chengenhou Mansion and the Jiang Taifu Mansion were not familiar with each other, and she had been away from Chang'an for many years, and she had only returned to Beijing last year, and she had only seen her at a flower-viewing banquet and had not talked to her.

Why......

She trembled her pale lips and murmured, "You saved me......" As soon as the words came out, a sense of helplessness for the rest of her life came to her, and Sheng Yan broke down and cried.

Jiang Suqing was also so frightened that she couldn't stop crying, An Xia was already crying and her face was red, and she was scared: "What should I do, girl, that's the second prince......" I don't know if I'm out of breath.

The three girls had never seen such a scene, and no one dared to step forward to test the life or death of the second prince.

At this time, the little chamberlain, who had witnessed the whole process, trembled, knelt down and poked his fingers into the second prince's nose, and after a while, he said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness is not dead yet......

That's great.

If the second prince loses his breath like this, he will probably not be able to live as a eunuch.

Jiang Suqing wiped away her tears indiscriminately, and was about to say something to this little waiter, but Jiang Hao suddenly appeared from another place.

He walked straight to the side of the chamberlain and said calmly: "I know that when you served the second prince, you were often beaten and scolded and punished by him, and you must have hated the second prince to the core. ”

The little waiter took a few steps back and said in a panic: "The slave and maid are not, the slave and maid are the servants of the palace, and it is their duty to serve the second prince." Miss Jiang seriously injured the second prince, and when the second prince wakes up, the slave will definitely report it truthfully. ”

The corners of Jiang Hao's lips were hooked, and he looked at the unconscious second prince with cold eyes, and said with a smile: "In this case, what is the poisonous needle hidden in your arms?" ”

Jiang Suqing followed Jiang Hao's words and looked at the waiter, only to see that the waiter's legs were weak with fright, and he hurriedly put his hand on his shirt and stammered: "Where did the poisonous needle come from, the slave maid didn't have it." ”

Jiang Hao didn't go around in circles anymore, he directly pulled him over and took out the poisonous needle hidden in his arms, "Now that the evidence is conclusive, do you still want to deny it?" ”

The attendant was shocked, and immediately knelt down and cried: "Lord Jiang spares his life, the slave and maid do have the intention of harm, but only the heart of a thief has no courage to be a thief." ”

This poisonous needle was hidden on his body for a long time, thinking that if the second prince beat and scolded him like a livestock again, he really couldn't bear it, and simply died with him, but he was just an ordinary little eunuch, even if he hated the second prince to the core, he only dared to imagine the pleasure of killing the second prince in his heart, how dare he really start?

Jiang Suqing grabbed Jiang Hao's sleeve and shouted: "Brother, ......"

Jiang Hao lowered his voice, "Brother will clean up the mess for you first, and the others will clean up after you go back." ”

It's rare for my brother to be so serious, and Jiang Suqing didn't dare to make a noise anymore.

After Sheng Yan buttoned up the loose placket, she also shrank beside Jiang Suqing, not daring to speak.

Jiang Hao helped the waiter up and discussed: "Now if you want to live, you can only listen to me first." ”

The chamberlain hesitated, "But...... "How dare he believe these nobles, if Miss Jiang is taken out, the second prince will only blame him when he wakes up."

Jiang Hao said: "I will let the second prince hurt and look like he fell down after he was drunk, and you, I also have a way to protect it, and after returning to the palace, I will find a way to ask the prince to transfer you away from the second prince and find other ways out, whether it is out of the palace or looking for another master." ”

This condition made the inner chamberlain loyal.

Seeing Ma Zhong's movedness, Jiang Hao continued to follow the temptation, and finally after some persuasion, Ma Zhong finally stood in the same camp with him.

Jiang Hao called his cronies to clean up the second prince, creating a scene where he was drunk and injured, and took Ma Zhong away.

After a cup of tea, the subordinates of the Hou Mansion came to the corridor, only to find that the second prince was unconscious, and soon Pei Xuan personally came to deal with the matter.

After the doctor bandaged the pulse in time, he learned that there was no major problem, but he was in a coma for the time being, and interrogated the chamberlain next to the second prince, confirming that he was drunk and injured himself, Pei Xuan did not want to make a big fuss, so as not to ruin today's banquet of the eldest son, so he deliberately suppressed the matter for the time being, and waited for the second prince to wake up.

**

After the matter was satisfactorily resolved, Jiang Suqing was surprised and said, "Why didn't Uncle Yun send someone here?" ”

Sheng Yan's maid should have listened to her orders and went to the Yun family.

Jiang Hao sat on the stone bench and glared at Jiang Suqing, "If it weren't for your brother and I met that maid halfway and stopped her, it wasn't me who you were waiting for at this time, but Yun Bo's mother who witnessed you killing!" ”

It seems that the elder brother is really angry, Jiang Suqing also feels impulsive, but she doesn't regret saving Sheng Yan, if she does it again, she will still choose to do it, but the second time she will choose to be smarter and break away from the inner servant, so that there will be no one to prove it.

When Jiang Hao saw her puffing out her face, he knew that she hadn't reflected at all, and immediately got angry and had a headache.

The brother and sister quarreled for a few words, and Sheng Yan whispered to Jiang Suqing to thank her, "Miss Jiang, no matter what, thank you very much this time." ”

If it hadn't been for Miss Jiang's help at that time, I'm afraid it would have ......

Jiang Suqing replied with a few words of thanks, Yunyun.

Jiang Hao realized that there was another person beside Jiang Suqing, frowned and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Sheng Yan's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she was angry that this man had regarded her as transparent for so long, and she was very grateful to him for helping, and after careful consideration, she still introduced herself very politely.

Jiang Hao had no impression of the girl in the Chengenhou Mansion at all, so he only sighed.

Seeing this, Jiang Suqing pondered, did it be because of her doing it all over again that her brother and sister-in-law met in advance? But when my brother and sister-in-law first got married in their previous life, because of the blind marriage of the two dumb marriages, the relationship was not good.

And as far as she knows, her sister-in-law already has a crush on her before marriage.

After a few conversations, seeing that Jiang Suqing was finally no longer afraid, Jiang Hao's entourage came over and said that Dali Siqing called him over to drink a few cups, and he had to leave first.

Sheng Yan thanked Jiang Suqing again and again.

Jiang Suqing only said that it was okay, so she offered to return to the front hall with her to the banquet, and at this time, Sheng Yan's maid came over and whispered in her ear, she smiled shyly, saying that she had an appointment temporarily.

Even so, Jiang Suqing was not reluctant, so he could only watch her leave.

It's just that she smiled like this, if Jiang Suqing, who hadn't understood love in her previous life, would not have noticed it, but now she can see at a glance that the person who has an appointment with Sheng Yan must be the person she likes.

Sheng Yan went to the place where the maid said, and she waited in place for a moment before waiting for someone to arrive.

The man is dressed in a bamboo green robe, the jade tree is in the wind, warm and fluttering, it is the protagonist of today's banquet, Pei You.

She hadn't seen her for many days, and she couldn't help but be shy when she saw her sweetheart again, she pursed her lips and said, "Pei Gongzi." ”

Pei You smiled, "I said that you and I will meet again sooner or later." ”

His voice was soft, Sheng Yan's ears were red, and she couldn't help but think of the first meeting with Pei You five years ago, when she was still a sick seedling who was arranged to recuperate in her hometown Zhuangzi due to poor health.

Although she is the daughter of the Chengenhou Mansion, her biological mother died in childbirth as early as when she was born, and her father soon gave birth to a child and rebuilt a new family.

That's 10 years.

Five years ago, her condition worsened in the middle of the night, and the maid went to the town late at night to help her ask for a doctor to no avail, and finally went to the doctor in a hurry, and found three teenagers on the side of the road who claimed to know how to do medicine, and one of the three teenagers was Pei You.

Pei You has been living abroad since she was a child, Xu learned some skills to make a living in order to survive, and Pei You rescued her from the ghost gate that night.

Since then, she has never forgotten it, and she only remembered that Pei You had said to her before leaving: "If there is fate, there will always be goodbye." ”

Sheng Yan said softly: "Pei Gongzi invited me to meet in the verandah of the West Wing, but I ...... I had something wrong with Pei Gongzi and missed it. ”

Pei You smiled: "I also haven't done anything yet, so I asked the girl's maid to make another appointment." ”

Sheng Yan's heart was pounding, "Why is Pei Gongzi looking for me?" ”

**

Jiang Suqing found a clean place to sit for a long time, thinking that the time was almost up, and then planned to return to the front hall.

In this life, she no longer trusts Pei You, presumably he can't design to frame her, as long as she survives today, then she won't repeat the mistakes of her previous life.

It took too long to come out, Jiang Suqing smiled and said, "Anxia, let's go back, my mother is probably in a hurry." ”

The master and servant walked back along the verandah they had just come, and An Xia followed, her eyes were suddenly attracted by the back of a child on the winding path under the verandah, and she said in surprise: "Girl, isn't that a little boy?" ”

Jiang Suqing stopped and looked in the direction she pointed, only to see the hem of Jiang Yan's clothes flashing by.

That stinky boy, on the occasion of so many people today, still dares to run around! Even if Jiang Suqing wanted to catch Jiang Yan back in person, he took a step forward, and suddenly remembered something, and said calmly: "Anxia, I'll go back to the front hall first, Yan'er will trouble you to watch, be sure to bring him back unscathed." ”

An Xia received the order, lifted her skirt and ran in the direction where Jiang Yan had just strolled.

Jiang Suqing shook his head and continued to walk back, and when he finally walked to the front hall of the banquet, he saw that the banquet was still very lively, and it seemed that he would not be able to disperse for an hour.

Sheng Yan also led the maid back at this time, she was first surprised when she saw Jiang Suqing, and then walked towards this place, stepped forward to hold Jiang Suqing's hand, and said, "I've been looking for you for a long time." ”

"Looking for me?"

Sheng Yan smiled: "Well, I think about it for a while after the banquet is over, I don't know if I have a chance to meet you again, if I miss it like this, I am also very reluctant, you saved my life, that is my benefactor, my grandmother often said to me, to be a man to know how to repay Entu." ”

At this point, she didn't know how much she said, and Jiang Suqing couldn't help laughing.

Only this time she not only thanked her verbally, but also ordered the maid to offer a gift.

Jiang Suqing was a little surprised, "Miss Sheng is too hearted, but in fact, I really just raised my hands, not to go for the thank-you gift, this ......"

"You open it up and take a look."

She was so gracious, Jiang Suqing couldn't refuse, and after opening the small brocade box, her eyes were slightly stunned, and after a long time, she asked in disbelief: "Is this for me?" ”

The brocade box contains the extremely difficult to find ink jade on the market today, which is not everywhere on the market, but originates from the Western Regions, with delicate and oily texture and ingenious carving techniques, which can be called an excellent product.

This was three years ago, before Pei Xiaojiu was going to go to the northern Xinjiang to practice, she promised to make this black jade into a jade pendant and give it to him, but at that time he left in a hurry, she set the day of this black jade was still one day later than the day he left, and it was not successfully handed over to him, and because of this, she did not go to pick it up, and directly stored the jade in the Lingyu Pavilion.

When he came back from Northern Xinjiang three years later, she also forgot about it.

Because they grew up together when they were young, they really have too many memories, and there are countless gifts they have given each other, and she really hasn't felt at ease in the past three years.

Now that three years have passed, this rare Moyu has appeared in front of her again, and Jiang Suqing has to admit that she is moved.

Sheng Yan looked at her watery eyes, saw that she was very happy, and said with a smile: "Miss Jiang smiled, if you don't accept it, I will not be able to do it." ”

It would be hypocritical to shirk it again, Jiang Suqing could only accept it with a smile.

Sheng Yan pursed her lips and chuckled, and said secretly, Pei Gongzi asked her for the task, and she finally completed it.

Jiang Suqing couldn't put it down while holding this black jade, thinking that when Pei Fumo returned to Beijing, he would pick a suitable time to give him this gift that was three years late.

He'll be happy.

I don't know how long it took, there were fewer and fewer guests at the banquet, maybe it was finally time to disperse, and Jiang Suqing was also a little relieved.

It's just that, for some reason, she suddenly became extremely tired, and even the scene in front of her looked upside down, and the face of the person next to her was clear for a while and blurry for a while.

In the distance, the Yun clan was talking to the Tang clan and the noble ladies, but she felt that her mother's face looked exactly the same as that of Mrs. Zhenbei Hou.

She stood up, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and walked outside, still a group of people who looked very similar, and she gradually couldn't distinguish the faces of the people around her, and her body was so weak that she couldn't stand steadily.

She limped on her right foot, and her whole body fell forward, and she should have fallen directly to the ground, but Jiang Suqing didn't feel pain, as if she had fallen into a warm embrace.

The man held her waist, she slowly raised her head, trying to see the appearance of the person in front of her, her eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes were hazy, and she finally saw the person clearly.

"Pei puppy, you're finally back."
