The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 189. Peyer

When Jiang Xinzhi hurried to Jinying Palace, his expression could not be described as ugly. In the middle of the night, someone suddenly stepped into his room at night, and if he hadn’t revealed his identity in time, he would probably have been treated as an assassin. The people came in a hurry, only that Jiang Ruan had something wrong and asked him to go to the palace as soon as possible. One of Jiang Xin was anxious when he heard it, and rushed towards Jinying Palace on horseback without any care. The more I thought about it, the more annoyed it became. What happened to him just one day after his good girl married into the palace, the people said it was vague and I didn’t know what it was. But Jiang Xinzhi also knew in his heart that Xiao Shao’s stunt would not personally inform him if it weren’t for a trivial matter.

Sure enough, when I arrived at the Jinying Palace, as soon as I entered the main courtyard, I saw the dignified Baizhi and Forsythia. Jiang Xinzhi’s heart sank, strode in, and I saw Xiao Shao crying in his arms at a glance. Jiang Ruan.

Since Jiang Ruan was picked up from Zhuangzi, he has almost never cried so glabrously. Even in front of Jiang Xinzhi, she was always calm and composed. Jiang Xinzhi knew that his sister had been extremely tough over the years. When I saw her showing such a look, she was a little dazed for a while, and the girl in front of her overlapped with the gentle and weak girl when Zhao Mei was still many years ago.

But only for a moment when he lost his mind, Jiang Xinzhi came back to his senses, walked up to Xiao Shao in two steps, and said angrily: “A Ruan, what’s the matter with you? Did he bully you?”

Jiang Ruan cried so hard that Jiang Xinzhi’s heart was squeezed. There is probably no one in this world that can make her cry like this, but if it is Xiao Shao… Jiang Xinzhi’s eyebrows are cold, Ye Feng is a little nervous, as if If Jiang Ruan said yes, Jiang Xinzhi could immediately fight Xiao Shao here.

“She was poisoned.” Xiao Shao said indifferently: “Now I am troubled by the demons again, and I am unconscious. I called you to ask you something. Before Xia’s family conspired to murder you, did you still have trouble? Overcome the trap of others?”

“What poisoning, what are you talking about?” Jiang Xinzhi frowned, not understanding what Xiao Shao was talking about. When I saw Jiang Ruan as if he hadn’t noticed his arrival, I felt something wrong in my heart. He took a step forward, bent down to get closer to Jiang Ruan, and said, “A Ruan?”

Jiang Ruan didn’t realize it, her eyes were hollow like a deep pond, and her words were clear, like a thunderbolt in the sky, blowing in Jiang Xinzhi’s ears. She said: “Brother, don’t die, don’t leave me alone.”

Jiang Xinzhi was stunned, and Xiao Shao looked down: “Now you understand, why should I call you over.”

“What the hell is going on?” Jiang Xinzhi is not stupid either. Seeing Jiang Ruan’s abnormal state, he already understands something. He scrutinized Jiang Ruan up and down, and he didn’t see any other wounds on her body, so he felt a little settled in his heart. Looking at Xiao Shao, his eyes were already very unkind: “What’s the matter with A Ruan? Why don’t you even know me? This looks like he was caught by nightmare.” Thinking of what Xiao Shao had just said, Jiang Xinzhi was shocked. : “You said she was poisoned?”

“Yes.” Xiao Shao looked at Jiang Ruan in her arms. She had been panicking for too long, and the words she uttered from time to time contained infinite secrets, and every one of them was frightening. Even for him, there are many puzzles. Jiang Xinzhi is Jiang Ruan’s brother. I thought that Jiang Xinzhi knew at least one thing about many of these things, but now it seems that the two brothers and sisters have nothing to talk about. Jiang Ruan has always enclosed herself in a small space, no one can enter, because the secret she guards seems to be a huge conspiracy.

“How could she be poisoned?” Jiang Xinyi grabbed Xiao Shao’s clothes, probably because he was afraid of hurting Jiang Ruan, he still made a lot of effort. He lowered his voice, but his eyes were a little red, and his tone was full of anger: “Xiao Shao, she only passed the house for a day, so you let her be poisoned under your nose? That’s how you took care of her! I knew this palace was such a dragon, so I kept her in the house for a lifetime. , And will never let her marry you!”

He always protects shortcomings, but Ye Feng, who is listening, wants to complain for his master, and said: “Uncle young master, what you said is inappropriate. Young lady is not poisoned in our house. If you want to investigate it, you have carried toxins in your fetus long ago, and have accumulated in your body since you were a child. The root is not in the palace. If you want to blame the master, is it too unreasonable.”

The Jinyi guards treated Xiao Shao with full respect, but didn’t treat others so much. Ye Feng was unceremonious. When Jiang Xin was stunned when he heard it, he asked, “Poison in the womb?”

“So I ask you,” Xiao Shao looked at him coldly: “In Jiang Mansion, someone used to be against you, who is it?”

Jiang Xinzhi was slightly startled, and then sneered. He had always treated people kindly and upright, and he rarely saw such a gloomy expression. He said: “A Ruan and I are thorns in the eyes of everyone in Jiang’s Mansion. You have to ask me who is not good for us. That is too much. A Ruan has been insulted continuously since birth. My mother and I are protecting, and at least I can live safely. If you didn’t mention it today, I don’t know, she was poisoned long before then.” Jiang Xinzhi clenched his fists: “If I knew who that person was. , He must be broken into pieces!”

“Mrs. Xian was also poisoned by this poison,” Xiao Shao said calmly: “That’s why you died. And you don’t seem to be hit.” Xiao Shao glanced at Jiang Ruan in his arms: “The only housework in Jiang’s house is You know the most about it. You still need to understand the origin. After you find that person, I won’t be better than you, and I won’t make him feel better.”

He said that the clouds were light and the wind was light, but the room was a bit chilly, and the last few words almost swept over the sky with a touch of killing intent. It makes people not hesitate that this beautiful and graceful young man will become Shura bloodthirsty and ruthless in the next moment.

Jiang Xinzhi fixedly looked at him, Xiao Shao looked at him calmly, and after a while, Jiang Xinzhi said solemnly: “If you ask me who my biggest enemy is, it will naturally be Xia Yan’s family. She wanted to do it at the beginning. Being the mistress of the house, she is clearly just a concubine, but she is always embarrassed with her mother. She even pretends to be generous, and Jiang Quan always protects her.” Jiang Xinzhi’s expression seemed to swallow a fly, as long as one Thinking of those days, Xia Yan’s behavior brought the humiliation of the three of them, mother and son, and he felt sick. Now he refuses to even say “father” from Jiang Quan, and he can see that he has no affection for Shang Shufu.

“Xia Yan is dead, but she was induced to excite Chen Poison in her body. It was not Xia Yan who started it.” Xiao Shao said, “I will find out about this. Now…” He looked at Jiang in his arms. Ruan: “Let’s take a look at her.” He let go. Jiang Ruan was coaxed by him before and was a little calmer. At least there was no hysterical questioning, but he still looked terrified and stern, as if he had experienced extreme despair. Things.

As soon as Xiao Shao gave way, Jiang Xinzhi stepped forward and hugged Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan’s eyes were already red and swollen. Although Jiang Xinzhi had answered Xiao Shao’s question before, he was still full of doubts when he saw this situation, and he hurriedly asked: ” How could A Ruan become like this?”

“Mistakenly hit, now her inner demon has been born.” Xiao Shao’s voice couldn’t hear the joy and anger, but it made people feel the faint anger in the calm words. He stood up and took a look at Jiang Ruan: “This is her demon. Jiang Xinzhi, she is immersed in such panic every day. I can’t understand, you don’t understand, but there are some things, I think you You should know.” He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes seemed to tremble slightly, his tone was not turbulent: “Your sister, Princess Hongan, is not as fearless as she seems on the surface. She is frightened every day. It’s just that you and I don’t know it.” After saying this, he pushed the door and walked out, leaving only one of Jiang Xin staying in place.

After a moment of stun, Jiang Xinzhi seemed to understand, he looked down at Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan didn’t realize it, even though Jiang Xinzhi was by her side, her gaze was through Jiang Xinzhi as if she was looking at something else. Jiang Xinzhi noticed her little finger, which was deeply bent and wrapped in her palm, and Jiang Xinzhi’s eyes blushed immediately. When Jiang Ruan was young, he was very courageous, but when he was extremely scared, he always did this little action unconsciously. Later Jiang Ruan came back from Zhuangzi. She was smart, calm and bold. She seemed to have nothing to fear, and she never saw her make such a move again. I thought it was because she no longer had something to be afraid of and didn’t keep this habit anymore, but when I saw it today, it turned out that she had always been the little girl before. How could he let his sister fall into such a situation? What Xiao Shao said was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart. Jiang Ruanri was immersed in fear and fear day and night, but he didn’t know? He didn’t even know? One of Jiang Xin gritted his teeth and slammed his fist against the head of the bed.

The vase on the head of the bed broke at the sound, and blood slowly spilled from between the fingers. Jiang Ruan trembled. Jiang Xinzhi looked at her. She grabbed Jiang Xinzhi’s hand and muttered in her mouth: “Blood. , Elder brother bleeds, elder brother is dead… elder brother died in battle, elder brother was not killed in battle, he was murdered! elder brother!” Her originally stable emotions suddenly became excited, and her eyes were crazy, but It is Jiang Xinzhi who keeps talking. Although Jiang Xinzhi did not understand what she said, his nose was sore when he heard the words, and he couldn’t help holding Jiang Ruan into his arms, as if comforting his little sister many years ago, and said softly: “Aru, the eldest brother is fine. Brother won’t leave you behind, don’t be afraid. I’m not going anywhere…”

In the silence at night, the movements of the siblings just wanted to be ignored, and it was clear in the ears of everyone outside the door. Dewdrops covered her mouth, with tears in her eyes, she whispered: “I never knew that a girl was so bitter in her heart.” Since she followed Jiang Ruan on Zhuangzi, Jiang Ruan has never shown a bitter side. My own mind, but in all emotions, the only one that does not include vulnerability.

Jin Er patted her fearfully on the shoulder: “The young lady is strong and will get better.”

Tian Zhu did not move, but looked at the room quietly. She once admired the tenacity and means of the woman in that room, and wanted to work hard to become a strong person like her. Now that he suddenly saw Jiang Ruan’s appearance, Tian Zhu was also confused.

“She must have suffered a lot.” Steward Lin said suddenly. It is rare for everyone to see him so serious, and they all turned to look at him. Steward Lin was standing outside the house, a pair of shrewd eyes seemed to have strange emotions drifting by at this moment, it turned out to be vicissitudes of life for a moment, he said: “The mental methods are different from ordinary people, and they are not the talents of the heavens. But they are just to endure when they were young. Ordinary people can’t bear to know. She is so good that she has never been afraid of something, it must be because, long ago, she experienced a very desperate moment, and the unintentional must have been hurt by others. .”

Have you ever been sad? Everyone looked at the silhouette under the pair of lamps in the room again. The woman seemed extremely sad. In the shaky lamp shadow, her shoulders were surprisingly weak, which was really unbearable. People who thought that they were splitting and indifferent turned out to be so painful in their hearts. For a time, everyone felt a little bit more regretful for the future heroine of the palace.

“Where did the master go?” Jin San looked around, and Xiao Shao disappeared sometime after leaving the house.

Jin Siyi was stunned: “Oops, the master won’t go directly to Jiang Dan on impulse?”

Everyone looked at each other.

Even at the end of the year, even the palace is very lively, everywhere starting to buy things for the new year. In addition, the weather in the past few days is very good, even if it is light snow, the sun is always lovely, the emperor Longyan is happy, all the concubines in the palace are happy, the master is happy, the people underneath are also good for a time. The previous depression in the palace was swept away, and it became cheerful and lively.

In a corner of the palace, Mingyue was serving the young man for breakfast, and Xuan Peifang got up. This young man is now highly valued by the emperor. Even Xuanli and Xuanhua can’t force him much, although the courtiers felt that the bet was a bet. The thirteen princes who had no background were in danger, but they were a little undecided by the emperor’s attitude.

The thirteenth prince Xuan Pei was familiar with the four books and the five classics, and the policy theory was well written. Even the always strict Tai Fu Liu Min praised him. He is not arrogant and arrogant. Even though he is still young, he has some insights into the affairs of the imperial court. Every time the emperor takes the official affairs of the imperial court to test him, Xuan Pei can also come up with several good ideas.

如今天色才刚刚有些泛白，他便早已命人点灯，随便吃了几口早膳，梳洗好后自个儿走到书桌前，桌上放着厚厚的一摞经史。他总是这样，鸡鸣时刻就起身，众人只看得到他人前风光，却不见这少年私底下下的苦工。他从不与人说道这些，明月却暗暗心惊，呆在宣沛身边越久，她就越发觉得这秀气美丽的少年实在是不可思议。年纪小小，却懂得韬光养晦，自制力好的惊人，几乎不需要别人提醒什么，他总能准确的知道自己要做什么事并且为之努力。就连皇帝对他的好感，也在宣沛的一步步计划之内。譬如此刻，如今的苦读，也不过是为了在皇帝出新的问题前，他能对答如流。

宣沛已经坐到了桌边，明月起身收拾残留的碗筷。不想才收到一半，便听到外头宣沛的另一个贴身侍女朝阳慌乱的声音：“萧王爷，您怎么来了？殿下还在休息，您……”话音未落，便听到门“砰”的一下被人推开，一身黑衣的青年就站在门口，目光冰冷，神情却有隐隐憔悴之意。

朝阳奔了进来，看着宣沛有些害怕：“殿下，奴婢拦不住……”

宣沛虽然平日里看着十分好说话，似乎也没有对自己的下人说过什么重的话，然而一旦惹怒了他，下场总是让人毛骨悚然的。所以朝阳平日里虽是笑眯眯的，对待这个主子却是十足的尽心尽力。朝阳的话倒是提醒了明月，她本是萧韶安排到宣沛身边的人，说起来萧韶才是他的主子，宣沛平日里用她倒也用的顺手。此刻，她断没有去拦住萧韶的想法。

好在宣沛也并没有生气，只是看了一眼萧韶，便对明月和朝阳道：“本殿要看看书，你们都下去吧。”言语间便是要隐瞒萧韶在此的意思了，明月和朝阳赶紧退下掩上门。待两人走后，宣沛才不紧不慢的走到桌前坐下。今日他穿着一件松绿色织锦金边朝服，如今皇帝待他好，衣裳再也不是当初不合身的了。身段和布料都十分衬着宣沛的气质，他本来也生的容貌秀气尔雅，如今更是贵气十足，更是多了几分介于稚嫩和成熟之间的特别味道。

他往椅背一靠，声音尚且还显得稚嫩清朗，语气却是十足的大人派头：“王爷大清早的就闯我宫殿，有话不妨直说。”说着便是提起了笔，似是想要练字。

“你与蒋阮是什么关系？”萧韶冷冷开口。

After Xuan Pei’s hand paused, a large drop of ink dripped from the wolf’s hair and dipped on the paper. He put down the pen, covered the deep meaning in his eyes, and said slowly: “Oh? Why did Prince Xiao say this?”

“You go back to my question first.” Xiao Shao did not back down, staring at him closely.

Xuan Pei turned his head to look at him, his eyes slowly falling on Xiao Shao’s arm. Where did Jiang Ruan bite last night, and then Steward Lin bandaged him, the wound on his arm was bandaged, but the scratches on the back of his hand left when Jiang Ruan went crazy. As soon as Xuan Pei saw the scratch clearly, he immediately stood up, his expression changed: “What did you do to her?”

Xiao Shao is deserted and arrogant. There is almost no other woman beside Jin Yiwei who can get close to him. Now he is married, and Jiang Ruan is also the closest to him. The scratches of a woman’s nails appear on the back of a good-looking hand, it is really hard not to make people think of other places.

It’s not that Xiao Shao has never seen Xuan Pei, and knows that this immature boy is also a master of disguising emotions, but now that his emotions are so exposed, it is really surprising. Fortunately, even so, his attitude towards Xiao Shao was so clear that he was very concerned about Jiang Ruan. At least it will not be disadvantageous to Jiang Ruan.

Seeing Xiao Shaowu meditating and not speaking, Xuan Pei felt anxious, and stepped forward and said, “Quickly answer me, what did you do to her?”

Xiao Shao looked at him thoughtfully when he heard the words. Xuan Pei was suddenly aware of his gaffes when he was glanced at the deep black eyes. However, it was too late, Xiao Shao asked calmly: “Why do you care so much?”

“I…” Xuan Pei was speechless for a moment, and then he seemed to think of something, and immediately said: “Princess Hongan is now the half-elder sister of the main hall. Since they are brothers and sisters, they should take care of each other. If you bully her, you are fighting. Royal face. The main hall is not afraid to tell you plainly today, if you dare to touch her hair, although the main hall is weak, even if you fight for this life, you will seek justice for her!”

Although this young man is usually happy and angry, he is extremely persistent about Jiang Ruan’s affairs. In the end, even if he is a little childish, he can see the determination. Those words were not false, but from the sincerity. If Xiao Shao really bullied Jiang Ruan one day, Xuan Pei would really desperately seek an explanation for her. This kind of relationship is really unusual. Jiang Ruan is only a nominal princess after all, and has never had a long contact with Xuan Pei. What’s more, he has also found out that the intersection between Jiang Ruan and Xuan Pei is just the same as when he helped Xuan Pei out of the siege from Princess Heyi in the palace. It’s just a tiny thing, why there is such a great friendship. However, since then, Xuan Pei even helped Jiang Ruan testify at the court trial in the Golden Luang Temple, and even the prince’s presence and Xia Qing’s visit to Kyoto have Xuan Pei’s strength. The handwriting of Xuanpei’s gift on the day of marriage really caught up with the very rich dowry of ordinary official daughters.

No matter how you look at it, it is not an acquaintance of nodding. Now Xuan Pei’s expression confirms Xiao Shao’s conjecture. But even so, there are many things that don’t make sense. It is clear that the two did not communicate very much. Jiang Ruan still…

He lowered his head and looked down at Xuan Pei. The young man’s head was not yet fully grown, and his appearance was very cute, but his eyes were deeply hostile. Xiao Shao said indifferently: “I did nothing, she was poisoned.”

“Poisoned?” Xuan Pei was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: “Then how is she now? Is she okay?”

“Not good.” A hint of deep meaning flashed in Xiao Shao’s eyes, and said: “The whole person fell into a demon and muttered to himself, and the words of others were completely inaudible.”

“What should I do?” Xuan Pei anxiously lost his usual precociousness and stability, and only said: “Aren’t you King Jinying? Why didn’t you get an emperor? By the way, is the Jinling Master still in the capital, why not go? Invite him? The hall immediately sent people to take the post to invite him!”

“No need,” Xiao Shao interrupted his movements, and his voice became cold for an instant: “He is in the mansion. However, A Ruan said a name when he muttered to himself, this king thought he was familiar.”

Xuan Pei was startled.

Xiao Shao slowly said, “She said, Peier.”
