The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 152. Heart of the People

Downstairs, his men hid the body of Princess Heyi and cleaned up the blood stains on the ground. In the bamboo building, Xuan Li and Xuan Lang were sitting at the table, and their expressions were not as relaxed as they were just now.

“I just want to know how she knows here.” Xuan Li stared at Xuan Lang.

Although this place is in the deep palace, not everyone can see the twists and turns and secrets. If you go from another road, you will definitely meet the guards who guard the gates, and Princess Heyi can walk in unobstructed all the way, he must have encountered no guards. This can only show that the way she walked is her own way. And Princess Heyi obviously couldn’t be his own, and there was a ghost among them.

This place is very confidential. Xuanli and Xuanlang will meet here when they have something to discuss. Therefore, when they met Princess Heyi today, they both had murderous intentions at almost the same moment. Although this place looked like a remote and abandoned concubine’s backyard, other people in the palace knew that the two of them had appeared here together, which would inevitably arouse people’s suspicion.

Xuanlang was taken aback: “Big brother, you wouldn’t doubt me, would you?” He didn’t seem to know how to explain it: “I swear I didn’t. How could I tell her this kind of thing?”

“I didn’t say it was you.” Xuan Li waved his hand: “But, is there anyone else around you who knows this place?”

Xuan Lang shook his head: “No one knows this place except for the guards given by the eighth brother. I also find it very strange that Heyi suddenly found this place. If he found it accidentally, it would be too coincidental. “After a pause, a trace of annoyance flashed across Xuan Lang’s face: “I should just ask how she came here.”

It’s a pity that he lost control of his emotions just now, and he killed Princess Heyi on the impulse. At this moment, he felt a little regret and fear in his heart. But there was no turning back when he opened the bow. Now that the person is dead, it is too late to say anything.

“This matter always reveals something strange.” Xuan Li squinted his eyes: “Heyi’s sudden disappearance will inevitably arouse suspicion in the palace. There is only one way to prevent people from doubting themselves.”

“What method?” Xuan Lang was taken aback.

“Misfortunes are drawn to the east.” Xuan Li smiled slightly: “Princess Heyi was killed, but we can’t kill him. Whoever in this palace has enemies with her, kill her. If you can get rid of it with this. It’s a thorn in her eyes, and she is considered dead right.”

Xuanlang’s eyes lit up, and indeed, it was not safe for Princess Heyi to hide in the palace, and it was not easy to smuggle the corpse out of the palace. Up to now, only one scapegoat can be found, but this scapegoat is not just to find it casually. It is best to kill two birds with one stone, which will not only get rid of this hot potato, but also get rid of the big troubles. Xuan Lang thought about it, and suddenly a cold figure floated in his heart.

“I see,” he was excited: “Baby, I have a good candidate.”

“Oh?” Xuan Li’s eyes flashed: “Let’s talk about it.”

“This method, I promise, will satisfy the eighth younger brother more than finding a scapegoat. We can borrow Heyi to achieve the eighth younger brother’s wish.”

Xuan Lang smiled low, grabbed a piece of paper in front of him, and began to write.

Tianzhu returned to the princess hall and put down the flower basket in his hand. Sure enough, he slowly picked a basket of petals, then poured out all the petals and put them in a wooden basin to start washing.

“When are you still in the mood to do this here.” Dewdrop pulled over the tub, grabbed her sleeve and walked into the house: “The girl is still waiting for you to reply.”

Tianzhu shrugged, as a subordinate, he must satisfy the master’s instructions. In addition to leading the way, Jiang Ruan’s instructions are also the same as finding the petals. She can’t care about one thing and lose the other. Big things and small things are all things that the master has confessed.

In the room, Jiang Ruan was sorting the petals picked earlier. The Queen Mother Yi De was in a good mood recently and pointed out that she should learn how to adjust a few bottles of spices. When she was in the palace in the previous life, she had learned a lot from Xuanli’s blessings. It was not difficult, but now it is cheaper.

“Girl, the road has been taken.” Tianzhu said: “The subordinates saw Princess Heyi enter the garden, and waited for an hour and never came out. The subordinates went to Jingzhuyuan to collect some petals as the girl ordered. return.”

Jiang Ruan had previously asked Dew Zhu to inquire about the recent news of Princess Heyi in Shufang Palace. Once he knew that Princess Heyi had left Shufang Palace early today, he immediately asked Tianzhu to dress up as a court lady and brought a flower basket to Heyi in person. The princess “ran into”. Let Tianzhu be “followed” again, and calmly pointed out the way to Princess Heyi.

She didn’t explain to the maids why she did this, and Dewdrop didn’t understand the reason, but vaguely felt that this was a very important thing. Only Tianzhu, who is a martial artist, Jiang Ruan called her into the room before, and after giving her a map, she walked all the way to discover the ingenuity of this map.

The garden where Jiang Ruan asked her to lead Princess Yi to visit was clearly a secret place. The one Jiang Ruan took her away was the one that avoided all the guards. This kind of garden is open and upright, but it is really difficult to enter. There are many forks in the road, and the forks are divided into roads. It is really difficult to answer the destination. If you go wrong, you will encounter the guards. , Alarmed the owner. If there is a big man who is lucky enough to get the news in, it is just a garden, and there is no other handle.

This is actually a very bold secret room, which is exposed to everyone like this. The secret room is in a large garden with a large number of people, except for the owner, basically no one can enter.

And Jiang Ruan obviously knew the location of this garden a long time ago, and even knew the road is the easiest one. She brought Princess Heyi to this place, and the dangers of that place can be imagined. If it is his own, Jiang Ruan does not need to use this method, that is to say, Jiang Ruan’s trick to kill with a knife is really extremely clever.

Tianzhu didn’t understand how Jiang Ruan knew about this secret room and passage. She felt that there were many secrets in her new master. She thought to this place, maybe even the person in charge of the dark part of the palace in Jin Yiwei didn’t know the complete path.

Luzhu couldn’t help asking: “Girl, why did you wait for an hour? Sister Tianzhu came back before an hour?”

“One hour is enough.” Jiang Ruan’s gaze still fell on the petals in front of him. After the petals were cleaned, they became more colorful. She said: “You only need a stick of incense to kill. The rest of the time is just for cleaning. ”

“Kill?” Dewdrop was startled, then covered her mouth, hating her gaffe, and asked in a low voice: “Princess Heyi…was killed?”

Jiang Ruan glanced at her and said: “With her temperament, she hasn’t come out now, so she must be alive.” She knew this from the beginning. People who enter that place, unless they are their own people, have never come out. No one can retreat.

Luzhu looked at Jiang Ruan, then at Tianzhu, and suddenly realized: “The girl did it deliberately. The girl has long known that Princess Heyi will die if she enters, so she let sister Tianzhu lead the way?”

“Yes.” Jiang Ruan received each kind of petals in the small wooden box and turned to look at her: “I have already calculated it.”

Dewdrop couldn’t tell what she was feeling in her heart. For a moment, she felt that her own girl was really terrible. Jiang Ruan received her faintly fearful look, and he just smiled nonchalantly, but it made Dewdrop a little guilty. I wanted to find Jiang Ruan after a short distance from Princess Yi. Sometimes I wanted to make Jiang Ruan die. It would be better to start first, so as not to have more troubles in the future. Dewdrop had a very good mentality, and soon returned the unnatural axis of her talent, and said to Jiang Ruan: “But how does the girl know that the princess will die wherever she goes? What is that place?”

Where? Jiang Ruan was taken aback for a moment, but his thoughts drifted away.

Xuanli is a person who thinks he is elegant and interesting. Even if he is discussing some conspiracy, he must find a beautiful place with beautiful scenery. For example, the garden is something that Xuanli is proud of.

Just because it is bold and subtle, it is difficult for ordinary people to find her. In the previous life, Xuan Li also took her a few times. Thinking about it this way, Xuan Li was willing to work hard on a chess piece without being pretentious. He was considerate and gentle, and then showed her all his secret places. It’s hard for her to distrust.

That place is Xuanli’s secret place. Xuanli often meets with Xuanlang here, and Xuanli took her a few times in her own way. Xu thought she was a woman after all, and she didn’t have any memory. She didn’t pay too much attention to how outstanding she was, but she didn’t know. She grew up in Zhuangzi when she was a child. She had to identify which herbal medicines on the mountain road could sell for money. She was very familiar with the direction of the road. Keep it in mind enough, let alone several times.

Since the rebirth in this life, those memories have brought blood feuds more clearly. She has carefully recorded almost everything that can be used with a pen, including Xuanli’s secret room in the palace.

She had already drew the map, thinking that she would use it one day, not wanting this day to come so quickly. She knew that Princess Heyi would definitely think of something after learning about Xiao Shao’s marriage. And let Tianzhu pretend to go to Jingzhuyuan and take Princess Heyi to the secret room. Once he finds out for Xuanli, he will inevitably have a murderous heart.

Even if Xuanli had no intention of killing him, but who was Princess Heyi, domineering and defiant, Xu Shi was still a little afraid of Xuanli, but she would inevitably deal with Xuanlang. Xuanlang swallowed his breath for so many years. Seeing the great cause will come to fruition, he will feel arrogant. Moreover, the existence of Princess Heyi will always remind Xuanlang of the shame of the past. Xuan Lang will inevitably add fire to such a stimulus.

Even if the Lord Heyi didn’t want to die, it was very difficult.

The matter seems simple, but in fact there are crises everywhere, and if you are a little careless, you will lose all the games. From the arrogance of Xuanli to the anger of Heyi Princess, to the gloom of Xuanlang, the changes in people’s hearts must be taken into consideration at every step. If she hadn’t lived in the palace for so many years in her previous life, she must be accurate in grasping the minds of these people, how could she dare to set this game?

Princess Heyi did not die in Xuanli’s hands, not in Xuanlang’s hands, nor in her hands, but in the hearts of people. People have weird hearts. Between good and evil, such as Princess Yi, I’m afraid I didn’t expect that the final road to death would be guided by an unknown maid, and that maid was carefully arranged by her opponent. of.

Jiang Ruan looked down faintly, and she had seen the methods of Princess Heyi and Concubine Shu many years ago, and she has not improved at all in this life, even with her eyes closed, she knew what they were thinking.

However, if it is something else, it is related to Jiang Xinzhi, even if it is too light to let the concubine Shu be buried in the family, let alone the mere princess Heyi.

Outside, Luzhu glanced at Tian Zhu and asked, “Do you want to tell Prince Xiao about this?”

Xiao Shao was very concerned about Jiang Ruan’s affairs, and Jiang Ruan took the initiative to solve the Heyi Princess, and I don’t know if there will be any trouble in the future. If Xiao Shao is watching over it, it would be much more convenient.

Tian Zhu shook his head: “The girl told me not to say.”

“Then you won’t say anything?” Dewzhu wondered. Although Tianzhu respectfully calls the girl Jiang Ruan Yisheng, she is actually Xiao Shao’s subordinate, but everything must be reported to Xiao Shao. At this moment, speaking like this, it was beyond Dewdrop’s expectation.

“The girl is my master, I only listen to her instructions.” Tianzhu’s expression remained unchanged. As early as when Jiang Ruan took the risk and covered Xiao Shao again, she really recognized Jiang Ruan as her master, and she had no other ideas.

Dewdrop rolled her eyes, and she was really happy for Jiang Ruan. In any case, Tianzhu was subdued by Jiang Ruan, and it was a good thing to be loyal to her only.

Tianzhu don’t open his eyes, but he has some thoughts in his heart. More importantly, as a subordinate, in addition to protecting the master, you also need to trust the master enough. Xiao Shao can’t be taken care of everywhere. Moreover, Jiang Ruan will face these swords and shadows alone sooner or later. Jinying Prince’s Mansion does not need a weak mistress, she must also be strong enough to stand beside Xiao Shao.

This matter may not be a test, depending on how Jiang Ruan did.

In Zhuangzi, thousands of miles away from the capital, there was a three-in-house farmyard, and the last one was so dirty, as if no one had come in for a long time.

A thin woman hurriedly walked through the yard with a basket in her hand, and kicked the door open when she passed the last room.

The room was filled with a stinky damp and corrupt smell. The woman lit the lamp, and a figure curled up inside. Seeing the light, the man seemed to be very frightened, and was busy with his hands covering his face and lowered his head, for fear that the light would be refracted in front of his eyes.

“Hidden what to hide,” the woman said irritably, “I have eaten.”

After he said that, he put the contents of the basket on the table, put the basket in it, and yelled at him without even thinking about it: “My old lady has to take care of you, a waste person, who is busy every day. What’s easy to keep, the silver is good. The original Jiang’s daughter still had three taels of silver a month in our yard. Although you have fifty taels of silver, you can’t carry it on your shoulders, and you can’t embroider and pick grass for me. After all, my old lady has lost!”

When they heard the words “Jiang’s daughter”, the people on the ground seemed to tremble suddenly, and suddenly raised their heads, revealing a dirty face. The flesh-and-blood body seemed to have only a thin layer of skin and flesh left, and there was a stench and dirt all over the body. I don’t know how long it has been since I took a bath. Only a pair of eyes can still vaguely see the original style, it is Xia Yan.

If someone passes by here, someone would not believe that this person is Xia Yanding, just because this woman is so dirty that she looks like a beggar, and she has nothing to imagine than the gentle and virtuous Madam Shangshu who was the first talented woman in Beijing at the time. .

Xia Yan still struggled with the woman, saying something vaguely.

“Humph,” a trace of jealousy flashed across the woman’s face, and she glanced at Xia Yan amusedly, and said coolly, “But she is beautiful now, and she also named the county lord, thinking about the pig she used to live in my house. It’s better than a dog. I don’t want to be so promising now.”

That woman is no one else, she is really Chen Fang, the youngest daughter of Zhang Lan’s family. Since Wang Yushi came to Zhuangzi to vindicate Jiang Ruan, Chen Zhao has been imprisoned and has not been released. In order to give Chen Zhao activities in prison, Zhang Lan sold all the property fields. The gambler’s husband was also beaten to death because of the money he owed, and Zhang Lan soon suffered a stroke and was paralyzed at home. Chen Fang was a girl’s house, and in desperation, she married a widower in the village. The widower beat and scolded her at every turn, and she gradually became a powerful shrew in such an environment.

Time passed quickly, as if everything was going backwards. Perhaps Xia Yan didn’t even think of it, but the people who once embarrassed Jiang Ruan are now embarrassed to him. She also did not expect that her life now is worse than Jiang Ruan at the time.

Hedong for thirty years, Hexi for thirty years. Xia Yan collapsed in a daze. She was sent to this place by Chen Zhao in the name of recuperating her illness. She thought she had escaped from birth, but didn’t want this to be the beginning of hell. At first she tried to threaten Chen Fang to be nice to her, but this Zhuangzi was very remote. How could she beat Chen Fang alone, in front of such a vulgar shrew, Xia Yan couldn’t use all of his scheming methods. She is good at fighting and surviving in the back house, but she is no match for the stupid woman in front of her. Chen Fang snatched her jewelry, forced her to work, gave her the worst meals, and lived in the worst house. All the tricks that Jiang Ruan had done before were applied to her, and they were even worse.

Xia Yan was so stunned, Chen Fang glanced at her impatiently, thinking that this woman was so annoying, and the official said that she could not be allowed to die for the time being. But looking at the official’s appearance, this woman will be a dead end in the future, but sooner or later.

Without waiting for Xia Yan to say anything, Chen Fang turned around and walked out of the house, shutting the door heavily. The room suddenly fell into darkness again, and Xia Yan opened her godless eyes, and a drop of tears suddenly overflowed from the corner of her eyes.
