The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 153. frame
Early in the morning of the next morning, Jiang Ruan received a post from Princess Heyi and invited her to sit in Mufeng Pavilion. When Bai Zhi came to deliver the post, she was still a little surprised. She didn’t know what Jiang Ruan asked Tianzhu to do. She just said that Princess Heyi wanted to do something bad, so she could not help but reminded loudly: “Girl, this Princess Yi I found it at this time, it must be that the drunkard is not interested in drinking, and the girl must not be in her plan.”
Forsythia also nodded and said, “Now that there are so many eyes in the palace staring at the girl, you must not have an accident at this knot. Why don’t you go back to this post and say that the girl is inconvenient?”
“No need.” Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: “You go and pack my clothes for me.”
Forsythia and Baizhi looked at each other. Seeing that Jiang Ruan seemed to have an idea, they had to do as they were told. Instead, Dewdrop came over and said: “Girl, isn’t Princess Heyi already…Could it be that she is not doing well?”
It is impossible for a dead person to send a post, and there is no such thing as a ghost or god in the world. Unless Princess Heyi is still alive, how could this post appear for no reason.
“Impossible.” Jiang Ruan said. Yesterday Tian Zhu had also asked about it, and Princess Heyi returned to the bedroom last night, not even Shufang Palace. Princess Heyi did such a big event yesterday, but didn’t mention anything. The court lady in the palace said that Princess Heyi’s performance was a bit strange yesterday, and she didn’t seem to want to talk more.
In this way, it is very likely that the “Princess Heyi” who entered the bedroom is not really Heyi. This post must have been sent by the “Princess Heyi”. Of course, the person who really wanted to invite her was not the fake “Princess Heyi”, but the person behind it.
The post has been sent to the Princess Palace, how can she not go to the appointment, it has saved a lot of trouble. She raised her eyebrows, stretched out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Tian Zhu: “It’s not convenient for you to show up. Take an opportunity to send this letter to the hand of the Chinese teacher Hui Jue.”
Tianzhu nodded, Jiang Ruan changed his clothes, and let Bai Zhi and Luzhu follow to go to Mufengting.
Although the scenery of Mufeng Pavilion is very good, it is very close to the cold palace. The palace ladies on weekdays do not come here often because they are afraid of bad luck. And the eunuchs and palace ladies have a lot of things every day. We are not here, so naturally they will not come. It’s just that Princess Heyi still likes this place very much on weekdays.
When Jiang Ruan arrived in the corridor of Mufengting, he saw a figure leaning on the table from a distance. It seemed that the clothes and decorations should be the correctness of Princess Heyi, and the two maids beside him were the close-fitting court ladies of Princess Heyi. . Seeing this scene, Luzhu frowned, Xindao and Princess Yi weren’t dead? Could it be true that Bai Zhi had said that he thought of any bad way to harm Jiang Ruan?
Bai Zhi is more careful than Dewdrop, and the sharp-eyed discovery and Princess Yi’s fallen body are a bit strange. It is not clear what is strange. Like a doll stuffed with cotton, his posture is stiff, and even the lines on his shoulders are very unnatural. Bai Zhi left an eye on her mind, and she felt anxious and uneasy in her heart for some reason. I couldn’t help but want to remind Jiang Ruan again, but saw Jiang Ruan walking towards Princess Heyi without blinking his eyes.
She didn’t have to go in a hurry, she didn’t seem to feel that this was a thing worthy of vigilance at all, but it was as if she had really come to an afternoon invitation with an ordinary friend.
When they came to the front, the two court ladies next to Princess Heyi lowered their heads and said, “Princess Hong’an, Chitose.”
Jiang Ruan glanced lightly at the lord Heyi. At this time, he approached Fang to see clearly, on the stone table, Lord Heyi buried his face on the table, as if he was asleep, and couldn’t see his face clearly. The closer you walk, you can smell the strong scent from the body of Princess Heyi.
It is common for ladies in the palace to like to use powdered balm, but the more precious the balm, the lighter the taste. The lighter the smell, the more elegant it feels, and it is as strong as Princess Heyi, but it is almost the same as those famous actors in the brothel.
Luzhu first glanced at Princess He Yi with some doubts, and then widened her eyes as if thinking of something, for fear that the two palace ladies would find her head down quickly, she was shocked. How can Princess Heyi use such a strong fragrance, if she would not understand it on weekdays, but listening to Jiang Ruan’s words yesterday, it seemed to have a breakthrough for her doubts at this moment. The scent is too strong, and it doesn’t seem to be used for dressing up, but as if it is hiding something.
What is it hiding? It must be to cover up the smell of blood, the gas of decay!
Dew Zhu’s heart jumped, and the dead princess Heyi sat here, and someone else posted a post to Jiang Ruan in her name. What purpose could it have? It was clearly a game set up against Jiang Ruan!
“Girl,” Dewdrop called out in a hurry.
Jiang Ruan turned his head and glanced at her. The clarity and calmness in that gaze made Dewdrop a little stunned. For some reason, Dewdrop only felt that Jiang Ruan’s eye had swept away her uneasiness, and slowly calmed down. Thinking that my own girl is always strategizing, I am afraid that today’s things are already expected, so I might as well watch the changes.
Although Bai Zhi didn’t understand what was going on, she instinctively felt inexplicable under Princess Yi’s post today, but she has always had to be calmer, just staring at Jiang Ruan closely and refraining from other crazy thoughts.
The two palace ladies stood there without saying a word, Jiang Ruan raised his eyebrows, smiled slightly and said, “Is Princess Heyi asleep?”
A court lady who was waiting for Princess Heyi nodded and said: “It is, the servants dare not disturb the Princess at will.”
“Then how about I wake her up?” Jiang Ruan said with a smile. This unpredictable tone instantly made the two palace ladies stunned, but Jiang Ruan didn’t expect that Jiang Ruan’s picking up was so refreshing, but it saved them. But when I heard Jiang Ruan’s tone for some reason, there was always a sense of anxiety, as if someone was watching him. The two looked at each other, and both bowed their heads.
Jiang Ruan slowly stretched out her hand and pressed it on Princess Heyi’s shoulder. As far as she could reach, it was really stiff. A smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she suddenly lifted Princess Heyi back.
With a “bang”, Princess Heyi suddenly fell from the stone bench, rolled on the ground, and lay on his back face upright. At this time, it was clear that there was a delicate dagger inserted in the abdomen of Lord Heyi, with bright blood stains covering the original traces. And Princess Heyi’s eyes widened, her lips pale, and she had obviously been dead for a long time.
Dewdrop was just shocked because she had been mentally prepared before, but Bai Zhi was so frightened that she screamed, and Princess Heyi’s eyes were facing Jiang Ruan, as if she had experienced great pain and disbelief before dying. There was resentment and fear in it, but it was like an evil spirit desperate for life.
“The princess!” the two court ladies yelled together, their complexion suddenly changed, and one of them pointed to Jiang Ruan and said, “You killed the princess!”
Jiang Ruan was not happy or angry, and said indifferently: “Oh, how can you see it?”
From just now to the present, when she suddenly saw the body of Princess Heyi, there was no slight change in color. If she was not very contemplative, she had already anticipated what would happen. Either way is terrible, but Jiang Ruan’s nonchalant attitude is even more confusing. Under the fright of the two palace ladies, they could only bite the bullet and act according to the previous script. One of them said angrily: “The host of Hong’an is so cruel. The servants and servants have seen that the host of Hong’an and the host of Heyi have become the host, and the host of Hongan has been hurting the killer, and he has arrived before his majesty, and the host of Hongan is also Murderer!”
“Did you see it with your own eyes?” Jiang Ruan smiled lowly: “You have two people, but I also have two people here. What you saw with your own eyes was that I killed Heyi. My two maids, I’m afraid I saw something It’s different.”
After the initial fear, Bai Zhi also recognized the situation. He was very angry when she heard the maid talking nonsense with her eyes open, and wanted to frame Jiang Ruan. Hearing what Jiang Ruan said, he immediately reacted and said: “It is, the two sisters are talking so strangely. When our girl came, the princess was already dead.”
“It’s true.” Luzhu said: “It’s okay for the two sisters to have one mouth, and there is nothing wrong with our three pairs of eyes.”
The palace lady did not expect that Jiang Ruan was so calm at this moment, and even had the heart to fight with them. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say, so at this moment, she heard a voice behind her and said: “Gun The Lord really has the courage to know people, and the enemy is chatting and laughing, making this hall admire him.”
Jiang Ruan turned around, and saw a person coming from outside the corridor. He was decorated in brown clothes as usual. Who is it that is not the four prince Xuanlang?
Although he didn’t grasp the person behind, at least this trip was not without gain. Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: “His Royal Highness.”
“The princess, now there are not only two people.” Xuan Lang smiled very warmly and kindly, and with a little joy from his heart: “The palace also saw the princess’s murder with his own eyes, even if the two court ladies didn’t say enough. Weight, if you don’t know the main hall, can you count them?”
Luzhu and Bai Zhi both stared at Xuan Lang bitterly. Even the prince who is no longer favored in the palace, his identity and status are here. If Xuan Lang really comes out to testify, Jiang Ruan will not have the upper hand at all. Especially when Jiang Xinzhi’s whereabouts are unknown right now, many people in the court are watching Jiang Ruan’s every move, hoping that she makes a mistake. If she is really accused of this crime, everyone will step on it. Jiang Ruan wants to think Standing up again, I’m afraid it will be difficult.
“His Royal Highness, might as well be straight to the point.” Jiang Ruan sighed: “Speaking in a circle like this is really tiring.”
Xuanlang nodded: “This hall thinks the same way. This hall believes that the princess is only impulsive, not deliberately. In fact, the eighth brother has been admiring the princess for a long time, and since the princess is the beloved of the eighth brother, the princess does not Too much embarrassing the princess.”
Jiang Ruan didn’t speak, but looked at Xuanlang quietly and smiled. When she didn’t answer Xuan Lang’s words, Xuan Lang seemed a little embarrassed, but Xuan Lang was not really as fragile when someone said it on the surface. In certain matters, Xuan Lang is more persistent than Jiang Dan, and he is not as embarrassed. Even if he was met with cold reception by Jiang Ruan, he continued without hesitation: “Although this matter has developed to the current situation, it is not completely dead. If there is anyone in this palace who can keep the princess, There is only the eighth brother. If the princess can get the asylum of the eighth brother, it will not be difficult to solve this problem perfectly.”
“What’s the solution?” Jiang Ruan looked at his fingertips, his expression unchanged. Xuan Lang frowned anxiously in his eyes.
After a pause, he said, “At least the eighth brother can cover up the matter and prevent the princess from being wronged.”
Jiang Ruan seemed to be a little impatient at last, and asked: “My Royal Highness and I are only acquaintances, how can I get his protection?”
“The princess don’t want to say that.” Xuan Lang was overjoyed and immediately talked: “The princess is the sweetheart of the eighth younger brother, but now the whereabouts of Vice-General Jiang at the border is unknown. If you accidentally make a mistake, there are countless pairs of eyes staring. If you want to be blessed by the eighth brother, the only way to go to the eighth brother’s mansion is the long-term way.”
After some words, Xuan Lang couldn’t help but clenched his fists, feeling a little nervous in his heart.
Xuan Lang proposed this method to Xuan Li, which is not undesirable. He knows that Xuanli has taken heart to Jiang Ruan, but he doesn’t know why Jiang Ruan is like a snake and scorpion to Xuanli. Recently, Xiao Shao’s request for the emperor’s marriage is more like a thorn in Xuan Li. Xuan Lang has been with Xuan Li for so long, and he knows some of Xuan Li’s thoughts well.
譬如现在,若是能以此事拿捏蒋阮,让蒋阮嫁给宣离,绝对比找个替罪羔羊来让和怡郡主的死有其他名义更能让宣离高兴。此事若是成功,宣离必然会给他记上一功,日后大事建成,他也能多几分筹码。
可是宣朗能料的见其他,却迟迟料不准蒋阮的态度。如果用普通的法子,必然是行不通的,唯有以和怡郡主的性命和蒋信之的安康威胁。在宣朗看来,蒋阮之所以不选择宣离是因为有更好的选择萧韶。可是当危及到自身利益的时候,她也没有别的办法。女人都是一样,再厉害的女人,到了某些时候,除了示弱和求饶,一无是处。就如同当初的和怡郡主。
蒋阮淡淡反问:“八殿下布置这么一出戏,就是为了逼嫁?也实在太看得起我了。”
白芷和露珠早已是心中不忿,没想到宣离为了一己私欲竟然做出这样下三滥的事情,竟往蒋阮身上泼下这等脏水。可是一国郡主之死怎么说也不是小事。
“郡主千万别妄自菲薄。”宣朗一笑:“在八弟心中,任何人都比不上郡主珍贵。”
蒋阮微微一怔,这话宣离前生倒是经常说。彼时她在深宫之中每日过的暗不见天日,有时面对宣离的体贴也会觉得自卑,宣离常常道:“你大可不必如此看低自己,在我心中,任何人都比不上你珍贵。”
如今这话从宣朗嘴里说出来,蒋阮只觉得讽刺。这一世蒋阮没有看低自己,宣离却是高看了自己在她心中的地位。在她心中,宣离是一只臭虫蛆蝇,怎么看怎么恶心?
“四殿下惯会说好话,”蒋阮微微一笑:“却不知是不是别人家的狗当久了,只会捡好听的说。”
“你——”宣朗脸色一变,实在不明白方才好好地的蒋阮何以会忽然变了脸。这话又实在太过刺耳,当下就往宣朗心底的软肋处戳,若非蒋阮的身份,宣朗差点就要忍不住动手了。许是宣朗认为如今跟着宣离前景一派光明,也有些自持身份妄自尊大。否则在过去,听到蒋阮这么说也不过是一个懦弱的笑容便敷衍了。如今这般,却也不知道是不是因为已经杀了一个和怡郡主的缘故,人性的黑暗面一旦被激发出来,想要再收回去便是难上加难了。
宣朗铁青着脸,对蒋阮道:“本殿一片好心,郡主却恶言相向,实在是让人心中遗憾。”
“You don’t have to regret it,” Jiang Ruanman glanced at the corpse on the ground carelessly: “It doesn’t matter if you say that I killed the person, but I won’t marry Xuanli.”
“What did you say?” Xuan Lang looked at her incredulously: “Do you know what you are saying?”
“I would like to hear it for more details.” Jiang Ruan made a gesture of listening respectfully, and how the smile fell in Xuanlang’s eyes was ironic.
“You killed Princess Heyi in full view today, and you have committed a serious crime. Princess Heyi is the daughter of your father’s favorite. You are only the princess who is halfway through Shangshu Mansion. How can your father help you this time? Even the emperor’s grandmother can’t protect you. Vice-general Jiang had another accident at the border. At this time, you killed Princess Heyi. Do you know what the court would say?” Xuan Lang’s voice was a little threatening: “You are with Jiang Xinzhi I have already had a rebellious mind. I want to trample on the royal dignity and betray the land of the Dajin Dynasty! You can live in prison, but you can’t come out alive!”
Dew Zhu and Bai Zhi, who had spoken bluntly, both changed their faces. Although they hated Xuanlang’s shamelessly, they had to admit that everything Xuanlang said was right. As long as Jiang Ruan is accused of murder and Princess Yi, it will be very difficult to get out of the matter completely.
“Thank you Four Your Highness for the suggestion.” Jiang Ruan didn’t seem to hear Xuan Lang’s words at all, only lightly nodded and said: “It really opened my eyes.”
“At this point, are you still unwilling to change your mind?” Xuan Lang has changed from unbelievable to ridicule, only saying that Jiang Ruan is a lunatic. In his opinion, the alternative road is Huangquan Road. Jiang Ruan would rather die than marry Xuanli, but his head was broken.
“His Royal Highness, you can do whatever you want, whether you want to be sent to jail or the imperial court. In short, I can’t marry Xuanli.” She said: “I told you before, why do you think , Will I change my mind?”
Xuan Lang looked at Jiang Ruan for a while, and finally said: “Can you tell me one thing, why are you unwilling to marry the eighth brother, do you have a holiday?”
“Perhaps it is the hatred of the previous life.” Jiang Ruan said lightly: “The important thing is, it’s too disgusting.”
“Disgusting?” Xuan Lang was dumbfounded.
“Yes. Disgusting.”
