The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 194. Ghost hunt

The way back is much easier than when we went back. After Mr. Baqi detoxified Jiang Ruan, Xiao Shao used flying pigeons to spread the news to Beijing. Jiang Ruan also saw the snow pigeon on the way. The Yuxue he gave birth to was lovely and smart, and he was very close to her. There was originally a Huba named Huba, which was said to be taken by Steward Lin. Sure enough, it is impossible to find a more delicate name in a place like Jinying Prince’s Mansion where there are many men and few women.

After returning to the Jinying Palace, butler Lin had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Jiang Ruan coming back safe and sound, he immediately burst into tears with joy. Zhijiao will immediately go back to open an ancestral hall to comfort the ancestors, thank the ancestors of the Xiao family for their blessings.

The Dewdrops had stayed in the palace because Xiao Shao had to hurry, and they would only delay the trip, so they have lost a lot of weight these days. When Jiang Ruan got out of the carriage, a few maids surrounded him, asking questions about the long and short. Dewdrop smiled and said, “The girl is good now. If you survive a catastrophe, you will have a blessing. You must celebrate this escape.”

Bai Zhi was worried: “Don’t leave the root cause of the disease to be good, after all, after so many years of toxicity. The girl is okay and the slave is relieved.”

“What do you say about these discouraging things?” Lian Qiao glared at Bai Zhi: “Now the girl has returned well, and the past is gone, so be more careful in the future.”

Tianzhu lowered his head, with a slight annoyance in his tone: “The subordinates did not protect Mrs. Young, please punish Mrs. Young.” Jin Yiwei has always regarded her responsibilities very seriously. Now she is Jiang Ruan’s personal guard, and even let Jiang Ruan make him. He was poisoned under his nose, and it was all her fault.

“What does this have to do with you, it’s impossible to guard against.” Jiang Ruan said gently: “It’s just that the other party is too cunning. You can’t protect me from being poisoned more than ten years ago.”

Tianzhu looked at Jiang Ruan in surprise. Jiang Ruan’s face was hot and cold. Although he would not make things difficult for his maidservant on weekdays, his attitude was not particularly close, especially to her maidservant who came along halfway, and he would not take the initiative to speak out. comfort. Now these words are just to excuse her. Looking at Jiang Ruanmei’s eyes, the usual hostility seems to dissipate a bit, and instead, there is a special kind of relief and magnanimity.

I don’t know what happened to Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao when they went to Canaan this time, and they showed this difference. Tian Zhuwu guessed, but still glanced at Xiao Shao. Jiang Ruan understood what she was thinking and looked at Xiao Shao: “Since you gave me Tianzhu, I always have the right to deal with her.”

Xiao Shao nodded, and Jiang Ruan smiled and said: “Okay, I said, it has nothing to do with you, no need to plead guilty.”

Tian Zhu glanced at Xiao Shao cautiously. Xiao Shao didn’t have any special reaction. He felt a little grateful, and said, “Subordinates thank you Madam Shao, Shao Master is generous.”

Qi Fengqing coughed twice: “Sansao still went to the house, carefully caught the cold outside, and now he has recovered from the serious illness, and his body is still slightly weak.”

Everyone agreed, and Forsythia and Bai Zhi helped Jiang Ruan into the house. Xiao Shao still had some things to go to the palace, and after calming Jiang Ruan, he left first.

After Xiao Shao left, Jiang Ruan sat in the room, the room looked a little messy, and Bai Zhi was at ease: “The servants are worried about the girl’s body these few days and don’t want to take care of the room, so let’s go and clean.”

“Not in a hurry,” Jiang Ruan said lightly: “I still have something to tell you.”

“What’s the matter?” Dewdrop asked strangely.

“Although the poison in my body is an old disease, in the final analysis, it was caused by someone using the poison a few days ago. I know who made it?” Jiang Ruan took the hot tea in Forsythia’s hand and sipped it. A bite.

Tianzhu’s expression tightened: “The girl knows who it is?”

“Although I don’t know who the person who poisoned me personally is, I know who is behind it.” Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: “Since he gave me this gift, how can I not respond to him.”

The several maids looked at each other, all of them did not understand the meaning of Jiang Ruan’s words. After a long while, Dewdrop said, “Is this the same person who poisoned the girl more than ten years ago? Why did she kill the girl? If it’s the big lady…” Dewdrop wrinkled her face and said: “Now The eldest lady is already dead, how can you tell someone to poison the girl?”

“That person is not Xia Yan,” Jiang Ruan looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup: “This person came to my life many years ago, and now he is doing the same thing again, just because he feels that I have caused him again. It’s a threat. That person is in the palace, and I will ask them back together with this account and my mother’s.” She sneered, “Xiao Shao has already been set up, and tomorrow morning, I will want them to look good!”

Forsythia looked at each other. Since Jiang Ruan didn’t explain the words clearly, it was naturally because the person behind it was not easy, and she also had her own idea. After several maids have been with her for so long, they naturally understand her thoughts and will not keep asking questions. Tianzhu asked: “What does the girl tell the servants to do?”

“I have made all-out plans. That person is in the palace, and I naturally want to retaliate in the palace. You will follow me into the palace tomorrow. I want to figure out some things too.” She smiled faintly, but there was something in her eyes. There was a bitter chill, and even forsythia couldn’t help having a cold war.

In a corner of the palace, Jiang Dan threw the porcelain bottle in his hand to the ground fiercely. There was a crisp sound, and the crystal fragments burst everywhere. The surrounding court ladies did not dare to get out of the air. One of them knelt down and was about to pick up the debris. Jiang Dan said angrily: “Get out!”

The palace ladies were shocked, and hurriedly backed out. Jiang Dan was the only one left in the huge palace. Her expression was no longer the usual cuteness, and her hideous look was a bit terrifying. She clenched her fists and clenched her teeth unconsciously.

Even if it is relatively tolerable, the longer you stay in this place in the palace and the higher you stand, the easier it is to expose your nature. Once a person loses his form, it is extremely easy to be caught by others. It’s just that Jiang Dan is still more sober even now, so before he is discovered, he still remembers to drive all the palace ladies out. She has always been a careful person.

Jiang Ruan was not only safe and sound, but also appeared in the carriage outside Jinying Palace. When the incident reached her ears, Jiang Dan’s hands were trembling. In the past few days, no matter what, I couldn’t find out about Jiang Ruan. The Jinying Palace was so golden that even a fly could not fly out, and Jiang Ruan had just been involved in an accident and she did not dare to be caught in the middle of a crime. I thought that there had been no news for so long that Jiang Ruan must have been wicked and auspicious, but Jiang Ruan swaggered back to Jinying Palace in a horse-drawn carriage. She didn’t even know when Jiang Ruan left.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ruan was so fateful, but Jiang Dan felt more panic. This incident was originally to lead to poison. Since Jiang Ruan is already in good health, he must know that the poison was in his body when he was young. If he really investigates it, she will find her head sooner or later. Jiang Ruan has such a vicious temper, you can tell by seeing the fate of Xia Yan’s family, it is impossible to stop easily. Once discovered her relationship in it, Jiang Ruan will not spare it.

Every time he thinks about this, Jiang Dan feels flustered. She thought of the man in gray, and she couldn’t help complaining in her heart. Jiang Ruan, who had said that she had great abilities, was also in trouble now, and she didn’t want to be out of the basket. After thinking about it, she walked to the side of the table and picked up a pen from the jade tube to make a gesture to write to someone.

It is also in the palace, but some people feel completely different from Jiang Dan. In Nanyuan, Xiao Shaofang walked into the hall, and the delicate young man stepped forward without being polite. He grabbed his sleeve and said, “She’s back?”

“It’s in the house.” Xiao Shao pulled out his sleeves calmly: “Is the thirteenth prince going to visit my wife?”

A courtier who called himself “I” in front of the prince, Xiao Shao was really courageous enough. It’s just that the little majesty didn’t have the consciousness of being bullied at all, and there was an obvious joy in his face: “Okay, when will you leave?”

Xuan Pei spent the past ten days in the palace like years, and what he thinks most about every day is Jiang Ruan’s condition. Even the emperor was absent-minded when he came to ask him about his homework and answered many wrong questions. Even Liu Min could see that he had something on his mind, but Xuan Pei naturally wouldn’t tell outsiders why. With so much trouble, Jiang Ruan was ill in bed, but he lost a lot of weight. Later, I received a message from Xiao Shao, saying that Jiang Ruan’s poison had been cured, and Xuan Pei dropped a stone in his heart. But Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao didn’t mean to come back, so Xuan Pei was very angry again. In my heart, I don’t know how many times Xiao Shao had taken away Jiang Ruan insidiously, finally bringing Jiang Ruanpan back to Beijing.

“No one can take the prince away at will. His Royal Highness wants to visit the humble house and come out by himself.” Xiao Shao said lightly.

With such blatant bullying, Xuan Pei was stunned for a moment, and then became angry: “You are so unreasonable. You treat me like this and tell her…”

“How?” Xiao Shao looked at him, clearly without a special expression, but his eyes were full of pressure.

Xuan Pei was so speechless that he was stunned for a while. After reacting, he felt ashamed to be stunned by the other’s eyes, and yelled, “She must be the master for me!”

Xuan Pei’s performance in the palace has always been more calm than this age. Sometimes it is not an exaggeration to say that he is more like an adult than an adult. Especially now that the emperor is more and more valued, the people have hardly seen when Xuan Pei was childish again. Now that Xiao Shao has jumped his feet in anger, he has the kind of vitality that is rare at this age.

“She is my wife, why should I help you?” Xiao Shao continued.

“She’s still me…” Xuan Pei was about to finish, suddenly stopped, raised his head and looked at Xiao Shao vigilantly, but a huge wave appeared in his heart. This person’s scheming is so deep, it is just a few words that almost reveal his secret. Xiao Shao seems indifferent and indifferent to anything, but in fact he has a very good ability to observe. He knows well that when he mentions Jiang Ruan Xuanpei, he will be emotionally upset, and he also knows what words can be used to arouse Xuanpei’s emotions. Just said it like this. Xuan Pei’s heart that was confronted by the provocative Yao Feng slowly calmed down. He looked at Xiao Shao, and suddenly smiled and said, “Prince Xiao, if you do this, you are really bullying.”

His words were full of irony, but Xiao Shao didn’t blink his eyes and said indifferently: “His Royal Highness Thirteen is not weak.”

Xuan Pei swallowed. Who said that King Jinying was a cold-faced saint who didn’t eat the fireworks. Once this person broke down, he would really be broken. I can poke people’s pain everywhere, sinking down, Xuan Pei said: “I know what you want to know, but I don’t have to tell you. Although you and her are husband and wife, but…” Xuan Pei smiled maliciously. After a while: “I think it shouldn’t be a real couple.”

“His Royal Highness Thirteen is too lenient,” Xiao Shao reminded: “That day will always come.”

Xuan Pei was coldly choked by his words again, and looked at Xiao Shao a little strangely, as if to see if the person in front of him was the same person as someone else’s mouth. After a while, she shook her head and said, “No matter what, she and you are not talking about everything now. What you want to know is a secret. This secret concerns me and her. If you are really good for her, just think about it. Let me go out of the palace. I want to see her. I have to explain certain things face to face with her. After that, if she truly trusts you, she will naturally tell you. But I have no obligation to tell you.”

Xiao Shao looked at him silently and nodded: “Okay.”

Seeing him so readily agreed, Xuan Pei sighed in relief and solemnly looked at him: “You saved her life before, and I should thank you for her no matter what. No matter what happens, my purpose is with you. It’s the same. Neither you nor I will hurt her.” This is the first time Xuan Pei has sincerely convinced Xiao Shao, or because Xiao Shao thought to relieve Jiang Ruan’s poison, Xuan Pei’s heartfelt gratitude.

Xiao Shao glanced at him: “I am saving my wife. I don’t have to thank you for anything that has anything to do with you.”

Xuan Pei: “…”

Only half a moment after Jiang Ruan returned to Jinying’s palace, Jiang Xinzhi, who received the news, rushed back from the barracks, and once again pulled Jiang Ruanxu about a bunch of things that need attention when he was sick. Unless he knew that his eldest brother was from Xiwu, Jiang Ruan would have doubted whether Jiang Xinzhi would change his career to become a doctor. She didn’t tell the General Mansion about her poisoning. She kept hiding the news from the General Mansion. If Zhao Guang knew that someone had attacked their mother and son more than ten years ago, she would immediately go to Shangshu Mansion to make a full blow. It’s just that it’s not the time yet.

When Jiang Xinzhi mentioned this matter, he was still lingering in his heart and was mostly angry. He only said, “What the hell is going on? Xiao Shao didn’t tell me who was going to poison you. Are you not going to tell me?”

Bai Zhi offered some plum honey syrup, Jiang Ruan pushed a cup to Jiang Xinzhi’s eyes, and comforted: “I know who that person is, but now I just don’t want to be horrified. Brother, please be at ease. I will resolve this matter tomorrow morning. It’s not difficult for me. With Xiao Shao’s help, it won’t be so. My eldest brother also knows what kind of person I am, and there is no reason to be calculated in vain.”

“A Ruan, I am your brother.” Jiang Xinzhi was frustrated: “You would rather tell Xiao Shao than tell me. You think your brother is useless, so you don’t want to tell your brother and let him handle it?” Jiang Xinzhi feels a bit wronged in his heart, this girl is really not her own girl if she is married. When Jiang Ruan was so caring to him, he said: “When you were a kid, you were bullied by others. It was your brother who helped you get ahead. Why don’t you remember now…”

Jiang Ruan helplessly said, “Brother, what are you talking about. This has nothing to do with what I think you are useless. I will tell you about it, but it’s not now. Can you not wait for a night?” Besides, you are not allowed to intervene because you are in the wrong position now. You are a general. Intervening in these things will always attract people. Xiao Shao is different. The Jinyiwei under his hands is different from the soldiers. What he did was secretly. He is my husband, and his people are mine. Brother, you don’t like him. Are you dissatisfied with me?”

Jiang Xin’s words were blocked, and said: “How can I be dissatisfied with you. I have won this fame now that you should not be bullied by others. If you win this fame, you will still be afraid of being said, and even think about you. What’s the point of climbing no matter how high it is?” Seeing Jiang Ruan’s stunned appearance, Jiang Xinzhi’s heart softened. In the end, she was afraid that she wanted to cause her body to recover from a serious illness. Whatever, I don’t care. When tomorrow you must find that person for me, dare to attack you, I must personally abolish him!”

Jiang Ruan smiled, Jiang Xinzhi looked at her, suddenly sighed, and said: “Although you don’t know why, this time you went to Xiao Shao’s Master’s Gate, but people seemed a lot more cheerful. Want to come is also Xiao Shao’s credit. NS.”

Jiang Ruan was stunned: “How did the big brother say that?”

“You are my sister, I know you.” Jiang Xinzhi shook his head: “In the past, I always felt that something was in your heart, even if you were married. But this time I came back and felt that my temperament changed a lot. I didn’t like Xiao Shao before, and felt that he was too cold-tempered to take good care of you.” Jiang Xinzhi paused: “But now it seems that he treats you well. I’ll just say, A Ruan, you are so good. , How can anyone in the world dislike you. Xiao Shao’s vision is not bad, you treat him now… it’s not the relationship of ally you mentioned before.”

Is she so obvious? Jiang Ruan paused in his heart, and then laughed: “Big brother doesn’t like me like this?”

“No, I’m very happy.” Jiang Xinzhi smiled slightly: “If anyone in the world makes you happy, no matter who it is, I will be happy for you.” Jiang Xinzhi reached out and touched her head: “Just treat you well, this That’s enough.”

The two brothers and sisters said something again. Jiang Xinzhi didn’t dare to talk to Jiang Ruan for too long because it would affect her rest. Soon after, he got up and left. Before leaving, he carefully asked Forsythia to see her again in the palace. After Jiang Xinzhi left, Jiang Ruan rested for a while. It was getting late. After drinking the medicine, Jiang Ruan looked at the ledger in the house for a while. He didn’t have time to look at the ledger in the Canaan Mountain House. Jiang Ruan turned over the things he did.

Bai Zhi came up and persuaded: “It’s getting late. The girl should go to bed early and rest. It’s not too late to read this account book later.”

“Yeah,” Dewdrop blinked sharply: “My uncle is still waiting in the dormitory. The girl has been in the study, and she has been taking a cold look carefully. My uncle is having trouble finding some servants.”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the relationship between Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao seems to have become a little different this time. Dewdrop changed her way even more, trying to gather the two together.

Forsythia flicked the dewdrops on her forehead: “Little hoof, what a girl says is something you can joke about at will. It seems that the girl treats you too well and is becoming more and more lawless.” She smiled and looked at Jiang Ruan: “But it’s not what I said. Pertinent, the girl’s body can’t stand the toss now, it’s better to rest early, lest my uncle feel distressed.”

Jiang Ruan looked at his own servants who were fighting, and suddenly remembered the scene in his dream when he was poisoned and unconscious. These servants never met in the end of his previous life, and suddenly sighed: “You have been with me for a few years. ?”

Forsythia was taken aback for a moment, no one expected why Jiang Ruan would suddenly say this. Forsythia and Bai Zhi looked at each other, and said, “The slave servant and Bai Zhi have been with the girl since they were young, and they have been around for sixteen years now.”

Dewdrop blinked: “The slave servant followed the girl from Zhuangzi for about six years.”

“Subordinates have been with the young lady for two years.” Tian Zhu said softly.

“It’s been so many years.” Jiang Ruan said in a low voice.

“Girl…” Bai Zhi worried.

Jiang Ruan waved his hand and said with a smile: “It’s just a feeling. You have been with me for so many years, but it seems that you are not doing very well. On the surface, you look bright, but in fact, you are in crisis. Speaking of it, I am the master. ”

She said this inexplicably, and Luzhu quickly said: “Girls must not say that. It is the blessing of slaves to follow the girl who is so compassionate. The girl treats the slaves very well, and the slaves have never felt wronged.”

Forsythia also hurriedly followed, Jiang Ruan smiled: “It’s okay, I will rest first, you guys should go to bed earlier, and you will enter the palace tomorrow morning.” He stood up and Tianzhu hurriedly gave it to him. She put on her coat, and Jiang Ruan went out of the study door and entered the bedroom.

The sky was sinking, Jinying Palace fell into silence, there was no sound at night, it seemed peaceful and tight. In the middle of the night, a little snow began to fall, and the ground was wet and cold, and it slipped slightly when stepped on it inadvertently.

In such a dark night, an inconspicuous figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard, as if it was a hut in the middle of the night, but when passing by the outer wall, it seemed to squat down inadvertently and swept in somewhere at the root of the wall.

At this moment, suddenly my eyes lit up, and suddenly several torches appeared in the dark night in front of him, shining brightly on the man, the man was startled, and he squatted down to cover his face with his hands, bowing his head and refused to let people see. Own face.

A voice rang extremely clearly in the night: “Young lady, caught it! There really is a culprit!”

Another human said: “Hey, raise your face, who is this person?”

The man trembled and his head was lowered. It was a game of catching turtles in the urn. Behind the guards, Jiang Ruan slowly walked out from behind, holding a torch in her hand, and the light of the fire reflected her cold and beautiful face, but there was a touch of compassion in her eyes, and A trace of disappointment that is not easily noticeable.
