The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 102. Turning point

Jiang Ruan stood up to meet the tip of the sword, her actions were too reckless, even Xuan Li was stunned in place, the assassin did not expect to kill a strange girl halfway, his eyes squinted, and his hand was not soft. The soft sword came close to Jiang Ruan’s chest. At the moment of the deadly attack, a dagger flew in the diagonal stabbing, and the soft sword was missed by a few points. The sword energy was blocked and did not penetrate Jiang Ruan’s chest. It was just that the sword energy scratched Jiang Ruan from his shoulder to his chest. , The blood immediately dyed the clothes red.

Jiang Ruan fell backwards agitated by the sword, and suddenly found himself lightened, and his body fell into a wide, cold embrace. The breath of youth sprayed into her ears, with the good smell of green bamboo on the man’s body. Xiao Shao held her in his arms and snatched the soft sword in the hands of an assassin to block it in front of him. To the surprised Empress Dowager Yide: “It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, please avoid the empress dowager first.”

Jin Yi Jin and two suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Shao, Xiao Shao handed Jiang Ruan to Jin Yi, and two guards guarded Jiang Ruan and the Queen Mother Yi De to leave. Everything that had just been discovered fell into Xuan Li’s eyes. He wanted to save the queen mother, but was shocked by Jiang Ruan’s sudden rushing out. Seeing her injured, Xiao Shao rescued her and left. But I couldn’t calm down for a long time, and there seemed to be a voice in my heart reminding him, no, it’s not like this, it shouldn’t be like this.

Everything that happened tonight was so strange that Xuan Li couldn’t figure out where the weird feeling in his heart came from. And what does the smile that Jiang Ruan showed to him when he approached the tip of the sword mean? It seems to contain the meaning of infinite distance, making people palpitating, but unpredictable.

Seeing all this happened, not only Xuan Li, but also a person in the hall, it was Princess Heyi. When the chaos happened, the guards around her were guarding her, but she was not entangled by the assassin. She wanted to search for that person in the temple, but when she looked up, she saw Xiao Shao holding Jiang Ruan in her arms. The beautiful little face is a little distorted.

Who is Xiao Shao? He is extremely deserted, and he doesn’t get close to others on weekdays, let alone mention strange women. Regardless of how Jiang Ruan can say, it is only an official female family. There are so many injured female family members here, but Xiao Shao has saved Jiang Ruan alone. Besides, only now and Yi saw the tension in Xiao Shao’s eyes clearly. He is really worried about Jiang Ruan.

Heyi’s face was pale, and she bit her lower lip. At the beginning, Xiao Shao was just a beautiful and deserted boy. She fell in love with it the first time she saw it. Unfortunately, no matter how he expressed it, Xiao Shao remained indifferent like a stone man. Today, Jiang Ruan’s appearance is too prosperous and the Queen Mother Yide has blue eyes, which made her unhappy. At this moment, seeing Xiao Shao so defending, her heart became mad with jealousy, and she wished that Jiang Ruan would immediately die by the knife.

The guards guarding outside the palace rushed in, and the assassin was also cleaned up. After being subdued, Xiao Shao put away his daggers and said coldly: “Leave alive and find out who the master is.”

There is a mess of cups and plates in the temple, and there are endless mourning and mourning. There are also innocent family members who have died innocently. The sorrow and sorrow are endless. No one expected this sudden change today. A good palace banquet suddenly became a massacre. . People from the palace helped clean up the corpse, and the nearest imperial physician hurried over to treat the patient.

Guan Lianghan let out a sigh of relief and patted Jiang Xinzhi on the shoulder and said, “Boy, you are doing well today, and you are not chaotic in the face of danger. It looks a bit like a general back then.”

Jiang Xinzhi’s mind was completely absent here, frowning and looking at the temple, but he did not find Jiang Ruan’s figure, and his heart was extremely anxious. After thinking for a while, he walked up to Xiao Shao and said, “Lord Xiao, have you seen my sister-in-law?”

However, it is said that Jiang Ruan was escorted by the dark guards all the way back to Ci Ning Palace with the Queen Mother Yi De. Although the knife wound was not deep, it was very long and had too much blood loss. At this moment, the white face was completely bloodless, and the rosy lips became extremely transparent. The Queen Mother Yide saw her appearance, and while eager to go to the best imperial doctor in the palace, she ordered the palace maid Jiang Ruan to support her on her own bed.

Jiang Ruan didn’t lose consciousness at all, and when he saw it in a daze, he opened his eyes and went down to the ground.

“Things should be done first,” the Queen Mother Yide said quickly: “You have done a good job in saving Ae’s family, but how about Ae’s family letting you sleep in a bed?”

Jiang Ruan still wanted to speak, but his face became paler, his voice was dumb, and he seemed to be extremely exhausted. He turned his face slightly, and didn’t even have the strength to speak.

Upon seeing this, the empress dowager Yide’s face sank again, and said angrily: “Why don’t you have a doctor yet? I can’t come anymore, the Ai family chopped off his head!”

The aunt next to the Queen Mother Yi De was shocked when she saw this. The Queen Mother Yi De has been very cold-tempered these years, but today she repeatedly showed abnormal emotions for this strange girl, which is really strange.

The highly respected imperial physician in the palace quickly rushed over. It was heard that the empress dowager’s Yizhi was still very puzzled, and it turned out to be even more suspicious to see the strange girl lying on the bed of the queen dowager. This girl’s face is tight, and she is not with Princess Yi. Why is the Queen Mother Yide so nervous? Is there any close relationship with the Queen Mother Yide?

Although he was puzzled in his heart, the imperial doctor didn’t say much, but just gave Jiang Ruan pulse before she got up and said: “This girl just lost too much blood, although she was injured by a knife, but the wound is not deep, if it is deeper, then more biased , I’m afraid it’s dangerous.”

The Queen Mother Yide breathed a sigh of relief, and the imperial physician said again: “I will prescribe two prescriptions, grab the medicine and feed the girl to drink, and then bandage it and it will be fine. Pay attention to the taboos in the past few days, otherwise it will not be conducive to the recovery of the wound.”

“In the opinion of the imperial doctor, will there be scars in the future?” The Queen Mother Yi De frowned. The stab wound happened to be from the shoulder to the chest. After all, it was an unmarried daughter. If the scar was left, it would have an impact on the relationship in the future. Jiang Ruan’s skin was as snowy, and there was a scar on his body. It was a pity even to look at it. In addition, her behavior today is the same as that of Princess Yuan Rong, and the Queen Mother Yi De’s questioning is a bit sincere in it.

The imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead: “If you return to the empress dowager, if you raise it well, you won’t have scars.”

This means that there may still be scars. The Queen Mother Yide’s eyes sank and her tone was sharp: “I see, you can go out and take someone to get the medicine.”

Only then did the imperial physician carry the medicine box and went out of the hall with the maid.

The Queen Mother Yide looked at Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan was lying on the bed, with her beautiful eyes closed slightly, her lips and complexion pale, she tried her best to endure the pain, but she did not frown, she still looked at her with a smile, as if she was In relief. Compared with the calm and charming charm in the hall, she took off her coat at this moment, and she looked green and immature, with a more pitiful style. Especially the smile on the lips, sensible is distressing. Empress Dowager Yide suddenly remembered Princess Yuan Rong. The precocious and sensible Princess Yuan Rong never frowned every time she got sick to prevent her from worrying, but just looked at her and smiled.

Empress Dowager Yide softened somewhere in her heart, and her tone softened: “Why do you want to protect Aijia from that cut?”

Jiang Ruan smiled shyly, and said softly: “I don’t know why, to say something beyond the limits, the courtier feels cordial when he sees the empress dowager, as if…as if I have seen it everywhere, I didn’t think so. Many, I don’t know what’s going on.”

She didn’t say anything blatantly righteous, but the sentence “As if I have seen it somewhere before” made the Empress Dowager Yide’s expression turbulent again. The thought in my heart became stronger and stronger. She slowly said: “You have done a good job in saving the car, and the mourning family will not let people get the knife in vain.”

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, and said: “Will the empress dowager tell her eldest brother, the eldest brother can’t find her, she must be anxious.”

“Don’t be impatient, the Ai family has already sent someone to talk.” The Queen Mother Yi De frowned slightly, Jiang Ruan only said that he wanted to inform Jiang Xinzhi, but did not mention Jiang Quan and Xia Yan. Whenever something like this happens, the daughter’s family shouldn’t usually seek her father. Why is she looking for Jiang Xinzhi with all her heart, even Jiang Quan did not mention it. I knew before that the two brothers and sisters from Jiang’s family had a very good relationship. It was also in the palace just now. When talking about Jiang Ruan’s marriage, Jiang Quan didn’t actually fluctuate too much, as if he were a father.

The armour of the Queen Mother Yide was gently scraped across the edge of the bed, and the ruby exuded a bright, bloody luster.

Jiang Ruan closed his eyes, and the corners of his lips slightly curled up. There are some things that don’t need to be said too clearly, especially for smart people. Let Jiang Quan deal with the rest.

She knew there would be an assassination today. In the previous life, the emperor also held a palace banquet after the flood. Halfway through the palace banquet, an assassin came in, and it was Xuanli who saved the life of the Queen Mother Yide. Xuan Li blocked the sword with his body and was seriously injured. At that time, the assassin was unknown, and all the princes of the emperor were suspected by the emperor. The palace was cleaned overnight, and even the prince who did not attend the day because of illness was also affected. Only the Eighth Prince Xuanli was the only one who picked it cleanly-after all, it was too much to be a drama, and to be seriously injured.

Xuanli gained the favor of the Empress Dowager Yide, and the emperor trusted him for this, and gained a reputation for loyalty and filial piety. After entering the palace in the previous life, Jiang Ruan learned of this from the chats of the people in the palace. At that time, he was very sweaty to describe Xuanli in that scene. Thinking about it now, there are many doubts in all of them. As for blocking the sword for the queen dowager, it was just a joke. If Xuanli was truly a sentimental and righteous person as said in the rumors, he would not commit suicide by his own father. Everyone thought that Xuanli would not be so cruel to himself. In fact, Jiang Ruan knew better than anyone that Xuanli would keep a low profile and treat himself especially cruelly.

In this life, she broke his plan. The Queen Mother Yide must be saved, but the one who saved her may not be Xuanli! Jiang Ruan had just made a desperate bet. Today, she originally thought, deliberately pretending to be like Princess Yuan Rong, and then acting like a way to save the queen mother Yi De. She has merit in saving, and there must be a reward in the palace, although she doesn’t know what it is. what. But it was enough to make the Eighth Prince and the Xia family dare not act rashly for the time being.

No one knew that Xuanli planned to marry her after entering the palace. This was something she had not expected and had never happened in her previous life. Now that she has saved the queen mother, her feelings for her will inevitably rise to a higher level. At this time, even if Concubine Chen wants to use any method to force the queen mother to let go, it is impossible for the emperor to marry him. As long as she showed a trace of unwillingness, the Queen Mother Yide would not agree to marry. Because, the Empress Dowager Yide must have regarded her as half of Yuanrong Princess now.

And she was good at saving, and from then on, Chen Guifei couldn’t say anything more that this was a good thing for her.

However, this is not a matter of making money without losing money. It was only dangerous. Now I want to come, but I have some lingering fears. Although she broke the boat, she did not expect the assassin’s sword tip to be so aggressive, it is no wonder that Xuanli would be seriously injured in the previous life. If Xiao Shao hadn’t missed the assassin’s soft sword with a dagger today, she would not have been relaxed now. She is not afraid of death, but she can’t die until the revenge is over.

She owed him personal love.

Jiang Ruan slowly closed his eyes. In short, it was much better than she expected to be able to do this today.

When Jiang Xinzhi and the Zhao family got the news that Jiang Ruan was sent to Cining Palace for treatment, they were taken aback. The Empress Dowager Yide is condescending on weekdays, and today is only the first time to see Jiang Ruan. However, it is different everywhere. At the moment, she is personally letting her stay in Ci Ning Palace, which shows that Jiang Ruan is not just a daughter of an ordinary courtier in her mind.

Jiang Quan and Xia Yan were both waiting outside. Jiang Susu was anxious to get news of Jiang Ruan’s death, but he heard that the Queen Mother Yide had declared the doctor to treat Jiang Ruan. This honor can be seen at a glance. Fist, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Quan’s expression is complicated. Today, Jiang Ruan has done a good job in helping him, and this credit will go to Jiang’s mansion in the end. But it was Jiang Ruan. In recent days, Jiang Ruan has repeatedly shined, and he has actually covered up Jiang Susu’s light. He didn’t regard Jiang Ruan as flesh and blood. Jiang Ruan was brilliant, and the more he blocked Jiang Susu’s path, the more dissatisfied he was. Today, Jiang Ruan must have a high Jiang Susu. He wants to pave the way for Jiang Susu. Jiang Ruan’s approach is really-unbearable!

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Quan’s face showed no worries, only a sense of calmness and a few traces of disgust. Only to the little eunuch who reported: “The minister thanked the empress dowager for her kindness, but the little girl was reckless and couldn’t bear this grace. Please go back to report to the queen mother and let the minister take the little girl back to the house.”

When Xia Yan heard Jiang Quan say this, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes. The little eunuch was also surprised at first, as it should have been. His daughter was injured. If it is an ordinary father, he should at least ask about the injury. This person will take someone back. The little eunuch was also a smashing man in the palace, and he saw the clue at a glance. Jiang Quan had only disgust but no warmth in his eyes. Thinking of the Queen Mother Yide’s treatment of Miss Jiang, the little eunuch rushed into the dust and said: “The miscellaneous family dare not pick up these words. Miss Jiang has an emperor in the palace for medical treatment. To such a brilliant doctor. Besides, this is the imperial decree of the Empress Dowager Niang Niang. The miscellaneous family is just a slave to spread the word. If Mr. Jiang has anything to say, he should go to the Empress Dowager and talk to him in person.”

Such a rampant attitude is suppressed, intentionally or unintentionally. The servants in the partial life palace cannot be offended. Jiang Quanzilai is known for being pure and noble in the palace. Why was he so mocked, his face flushed immediately, and he couldn’t say a word. The little eunuch glanced at Xia Yan contemptuously, and sneered in his heart. The two Jiang family really didn’t know how to give birth to a thoughtful lady like Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Xinzhi could not see Jiang Ruan’s injury with his own eyes. Although he knew that there was an emperor’s treatment, he was still anxious. He didn’t know why Jiang Ruan had to block the sword for the Queen Mother Yi De. He was a little bit blamed. Although he said he was rebellious, it was the emperor’s fate. On the front line, he didn’t want Jiang Ruan to take this risk.

The little eunuch was about to leave after speaking. Fang walked to the door and bumped into Xiao Shao. He hurriedly bowed to salute Xiao Shao, Xiao Shao waved his hand, took out a small blue porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it to him, saying briefly. : “Yujigao.”

Yuji ointment is a good thing rarely used by women in the palace. This small bottle is also worth a thousand dollars and can remove scars on women. Although Xiao Shao didn’t say who to use it, the little eunuch also understood that the object should be Jiang Ruan who was lying in the Ci Ning Palace. Although I was suspicious of Xiao Shao and Jiang Ruan’s relationship, he still said with a flattering smile: “Don’t worry, Lord, the miscellaneous family will definitely be there.”

Xiao Shao glanced at him faintly, then turned and walked out of the palace gate.

One night in Ci Ning Palace, Jiang Ruan slept surprisingly well.

When she woke up, two beautiful court ladies around her hurriedly changed her clothes. Jiang Ruan moved his body, and the injury on his chest didn’t even feel pain. A maid smiled and said, “The young lady is awake. The wound is not deep. If you bandage it properly, it will be fine.” After saying that, she explained in a low voice, “The doctor’s wife meant to leave scars. Fortunately, Prince Xiao sent it. With Yuji Ointment, there is no need to worry, and there will be no scars left.” There was a bit of envy in his tone.

Jiang Ruan was stunned when he looked at her, Xiao Shao sent Yuji Ointment? She pressed her forehead, and this favor became more and more owed.

Since her rebirth, she has used people and will inevitably give them some equal rewards. For example, supporting Liu Min is also to be useful in the future, to let Gu Yi help, and also to take advantage of Gu Yi’s love of beauty. Xiao Shao came to help out over and over again, even if it was a gratitude, he was giving it now, fearing that he would pay off the gratitude sooner. Xiao Shao didn’t know how to repay such candid help.

After thinking about it, I simply put this matter aside. She asked the maid: “Who was hurt last night?”

The maid reported a long list of names, and Jiang Ruan was relieved when she heard that there was no one she knew. If you must say yes, it was Jiang Dan panicked and fell into the arms of Zuo Langzhong last night. Zuo Langzhong was young and promising, but Jiang Dan’s clothes were torn in the chaos last night, and Zuo Langzhong watched at that time. Jiang Dan, a daughter who is tender and weak and crying makes her heart reassuring, so she promised to be responsible for her after this matter.

The maid said: “I’m afraid that the fourth lady’s happy event will also be settled.”

Jiang Ruan raised her eyebrows. She looked at the cowardly and timid fourth sister with admiration. The chaotic scene last night made it hard for her to think about it. She would dare to lose her life if she was not careful. But Jiang Dan’s luck was good, didn’t he win the bet?

The palace lady saw Jiang Ruan in a trance, and said: “Vice-General Jiang came to see you, and then something went away in a hurry. The empress dowager will be back soon. When the lady was in a coma, the vice-admiral and the empress dowager were very worried.”

Jiang Ruan thought for a while: “Where are my father and mother and sister?”

“The Empress Dowager has ordered them to return home first.” The court lady replied.

Jiang Ruan looked down, and the Queen Mother asked Jiang Quan and the others to return to the palace. Didn’t it mean that Jiang Quan was already unhappy with Jiang Quan? In this way, it is very good. She smiled slightly and looked at the palace lady a little sorry: “I’m a little hungry.”

“The meal has been prepared, and the servant girl will serve the lady.” The maid said with a smile.

In the imperial study room, the emperor suddenly smashed the paperweight on the table to the ground: “So, were you from the Kingdom of Heaven last night?”

Guan Lianghan and Xiao Shao acquiesced.

The Kingdom of Tianjin was located in the north of the Dajin Dynasty, and its territory was not vast, because it relied on the sea and did very well in transoceanic business. It has always been a non-aggressive relationship with Dajin Dynasty. It’s not that Jin Dynasty didn’t think about annexing Tianjin Kingdom, but although Tianjin Kingdom was small, its steel smelting was very good, and the weapons worn by soldiers were much better than those of Dajin Dynasty. The emperor once tried to attack the Kingdom of Heaven, but the Kingdom of Heaven was stunned to resist the 400,000 army of the Jin Dynasty. The war dragged on for a whole year, until the Jin Dynasty was lacking in troops. The people did not live for the people because of the tax and the emperor realized that this was In a losing-lose situation, the troops were ordered to withdraw. Since then, they have only guarded against aggression, and have been in peace.

But last night Xiao Shao and Guan Lianghan interrogated them overnight. Although these dead men had been very firm, there was something wrong in their words. Xiao Shao ordered Jin Yiwei to investigate, and it was found that these assassins were all from the Kingdom of Heaven.

“The land of bullets, dare to be so presumptuous!” The emperor was furious.

Last night’s assassin’s moves were all direct against the emperor, but in the end he slaughtered in the palace, causing panic among hundreds of officials. This disrupted the court, and the behavior actually meant provocation. What does Tianjin Kingdom mean? Want to go to war against Jin Chao?

“Tianjin Kingdom has been making troubles in the frontiers for several years, and I am ready to move.” Xiao Shao reminded: “This assassination is likely to be a signal.”

“A signal for war?” Guan Lianghan asked.

“I’m still afraid that he won’t succeed!” No emperor can tolerate such a presumptuous provocation. The emperor’s dignity cannot be trampled on, not to mention that this is still a major issue related to the safety of the country. He frowned: “General Guan, would you like to lead troops to the Heavenly Jin Dynasty?”

Guan Lianghan smiled: “I’m so happy.”

He didn’t want to stay in the capital of Raoshizi. Faced with these gentle people every day, he returned to Beijing after winning the battle this year. The emperor said that he would stay in Beijing in the future and he was very unhappy. Soldiers were born for the battlefield, especially Guan Lianghan can only exert his greatest ability on the battlefield.

The emperor thought for a while: “Bring your lieutenant along. If he is a born general and comes back from a victory, I will have a lot of rewards!”

Guan Lianghan’s expression was solemn. The emperor’s words really gave Jiang Xinzhi room to play. He thought that Jiang Xinzhi had refuted Chen Guifei’s face, and the emperor would have some prejudice against Jiang Xinzhi. Now that Jiang Xinzhi’s brothers and sisters just got together, they gave Jiang Xinzhi the opportunity to go on an expedition. If he shines in this battle, then there will be another young hero in the Dajin Dynasty, and Jiang Xinzhi will be able to truly be in the court. A firm foothold in the middle.

I just don’t know if that girl lover is willing to leave Jiang Ruan?

The emperor said again: “There were so many assassins in the palace last night, and the guards were all dead?” He looked at Xiao Shao: “A Shao, call out your Jinyiwei.”

This is a major cleaning. The assassins of the Tianjin Kingdom entered the palace as if there was no one, because the palace had already had an internal response. Although he didn’t know who the person was, he could not get rid of it in a day, just like a malignant tumor in the emperor’s heart for a long time.

Xiao Shao nodded slightly: “Yes.”

Guan Lianghan sighed in his heart, this palace is bound to be another bloody storm.

After the two had discussed other matters with the emperor, as soon as they left the imperial study room, they saw a beautiful girl standing outside. She wears a golden gauze dress, gorgeous and exquisite dress, and a well-dressed face is glamorous and compelling, with a touch of exotic atmosphere. She walked over and smiled at Xiao Shao: “Lord Xiao.” It was Princess Heyi.

Guan Lianghan winked at Xiao Shao and left in strides.

Xiao Shao looked down at He Yi faintly, and his eyes were not warm at all. Princess Heyi felt a little timid when he was seen by his indifferent eyes. But when she thought of what happened last night, her eyes showed a little bit of resentment. She raised her head and looked straight at Xiao Shao’s handsome and deserted face, and said, “What is the relationship between Prince Xiao and Miss Jiang?”

This question was inexplicable, Xiao Shao didn’t know what she meant, frowned, and said coldly, “What does this have to do with the princess?”

Princess Heyi’s eyes were red, and his whole body was pierced by his cold words. He grieved and said: “You know I like you.”

“The princess said carefully.” Xiao Shao’s eyes were suddenly cold: “Xiao has no thoughts about treating the princess.”

“What about Jiang Ruan,” Princess Heyi couldn’t help but asked harshly, “Do you like her?”

Xiao Shao’s brows furrowed tighter, as if she couldn’t understand her words, but there were more important things right now, so she only gave Princess He Yi a cold look and turned away. Such a move fell in the eyes of the Lord Heyi, and it was acquiescence. She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly covered her face and burst into tears.

After Jiang Ruan had eaten breakfast, the Queen Mother Yide returned to Cining Palace. Seeing her doing this, she said, “Is your body better?”

Jiang Ruan smiled: “It’s much better when I go back to the empress dowager.”

The Queen Mother Yide looked at her up and down and saw that her spirit was indeed much better than yesterday. Relaxed and sat down on the soft couch. The maid next to her served a cup of tea. The Queen Mother Yi De took the tea and took a sip, calmly looking at Jiang Ruan.

The girl in front of her is well-behaved and clean. Although her appearance is charming, her eyes are clear and free of impurities. The most rare thing is the unfavorable composure, which makes her beauty get rid of her frivolousness and become calm and noble.

She seemed to ask casually: “Jiang Quan treats you badly?”

Jiang Ruan seemed to be taken aback by the questioning, he thought about it for a moment, and smiled: “No, it’s just that the courtiers were raised by Zhuangzi, and he was not very close to his father since he was a child.”

She didn’t complain hard, nor did she lie that Jiang Quan treated her very well. What she stated was facts, but she justified Jiang Quan in words. It is very appropriate.

A faint smile appeared on the lips of the Queen Mother Yide: “If you are not close, you won’t be sad if you want to come and separate.”

Jiang Ruan was really taken aback at this moment and looked at her suspiciously.

Empress Dowager Yide looked at the ruby on her armor and said: “Girl Jiang, Ai’s family is going to the royal ancestral temple next to the imperial mausoleum for three years. Would you like to go together?”
