Chapter 2 The Assassin Was Sent by the Regent
Jiang Yu pinched Jiang Xue's neck hard, but footsteps sounded not far away.
It's the Queen and her party!
The person who brought them here was her maid Cuizhu.
It turned out that Cuizhu, a cheap servant, had betrayed her so early.
"You are lucky!"
She couldn't risk the entire Mu family and her mother just to kill them.
Jiang Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the violence and hatred in her heart, quickly messed up their clothes, and quietly left through another road.
The person who was caught raping now was not her, but Jiang Xue, but Jiang Xue and the prince would definitely doubt her when they woke up, and she needed someone to help her prove it.
As soon as she left the rockery, she heard some movement by the pool in the imperial garden. Not wanting to cause trouble, she strode away, but instead she bumped into two figures.
It was the regent Helianji and his future princess.
She remembered that this princess was clearly the daughter of an ordinary merchant. Helianji had a big quarrel with the emperor over marrying her. Why would she appear in the palace now?
The two looked at each other in the air, and Jiang Yu saw the flash of jealousy and murderous intent in the woman's eyes.
Killing intent? Could it be that she is today’s assassin?
The assassin was sent by the Regent!
The profound meaning made Jiang Yu break into a cold sweat.
The next second, Helian Ji suddenly opened his eyes.
What a pair of eyes they were, sharp as knives, but as black as ink, like an abyss.
Jiang Yu's scalp was numb from being stared at like this, and she didn't dare to move.
She is going to be silenced!
"I didn't see anything!"
She can't die, she hasn't taken revenge yet, she hasn't seen her mother yet, she...
If I had known earlier, I should have killed those two people just now.
"..."
"let go!"
He Lianji pushed the woman away, his eyes always on Jiang Yu.
He knew that Jiang Yu was Taishi Mu's granddaughter and had met her several times, but for some reason, when he saw her today, something inexplicable always flashed in his mind.
The wrists with skin as soft as cream, the delicate red lips, the sweet and sobful voice, and the vague incense of evening...
Lingering and decadent!
Helian Ji's pupils shrank, how could he have such a memory?
"you……"
As soon as he said a word, more confusing memories were forced into his mind, and Helianji passed out again.
The woman took the opportunity to support Helian Ji and warned him coldly.
"The prince is not something you can imagine! Keep your mouth shut, otherwise Master Mu won't be able to protect you!"
Jiang Yu squeezed her sweat and realized that her hand had been protecting her lower abdomen.
Boy, your dad is terrible.
When they arrived at Rongyun Palace, Jiang Yu saw the maid Ziyue.
Ziyue's eyes widened when she saw Jiang Yu coming.
"Miss, when did you leave?"
Ziyue's eyes widened.
Didn't the young lady go in with Cuizhu to change clothes? She had been guarding the door and didn't see them come out.
Ziyue trotted over and saw Jiang Yu's embarrassment.
"Miss, what happened?"
Ziyue's concern made Jiang Yu's nose feel sore and she felt guilty.
In her previous life, she felt that Ziyue was annoying and stupid, acted impulsively, and was brute force. She always thought that the Mu family was not as smart and loyal as Cuizhu, so she alienated Ziyue and promoted Cuizhu.
Even when changing clothes, Ziyue just stayed at the door.
But when Jiang Xue wanted to deal with her child and asked Ziyue to come forward to accuse her of being unruly, Ziyue would rather die than surrender and was tortured to death without leaving any body behind.
"Miss, why are you crying? Who bullied you? I will go find my uncle and they will make the decision for the lady!"
Ziyue was anxious. She had never seen the young lady cry so sadly, as if she had experienced such a desperate thing.
"I'm fine."
Jiang Yu wiped her tears and said seriously:
"Ziyue, I'll go in and change clothes first. No matter what happens later, you will always insist on being with me and never leave here. Do you understand?"
Although Ziyue was confused, looking at the lady's cautious look, she still nodded in agreement.
She is the lady's maid, so naturally she obeys the lady in everything.
Rongyun Palace was originally an abandoned palace, and the guards here were even more sparse. It is said that a crazy concubine of the late emperor once lived there, and it may have been a taboo. After that, no one lived here, and it became a secluded place.
No wonder Cuizhu and Jiang Xue dared to attack her here.
After Jiang Yu entered, she quickly changed her clothes, endured the discomfort, and left with Ziyue.
After wandering around the palace for a few times and bumping into many maids and eunuchs, Jiang Yu took Ziyue to the rockery.
Before he even got closer, he heard Jiang Xuerou's weak voice.
"I came here at the invitation of my sister. As soon as I got closer, I fainted and did not see His Highness the Crown Prince."
As expected, Jiang Xue poured dirty water on her.
Jiang Yu's eyes showed sarcasm, and she held back Ziyue who rushed to retort.
This is the imperial palace, Ziyueren speaks softly, and it would be inappropriate to refute at this moment.
"When did I invite you here?"
After squeezing through the crowd, Jiang Yu saw Jiang Xue and Jiang's father kneeling on the ground, as well as the prince He Lianchen, who was holding his head and his face covered in blood.
No one saw that her hands hanging on her sides were clenched tightly, her fingertips digging into her flesh.
What a shame, it almost killed them!
Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Yu suspiciously, trying to discern something, but she only met Jiang Yu's cold gaze.
Did he get discovered by this idiot?
Jiang Xue quickly winked at Cuizhu in the crowd.
"What's going on? I allowed you to change clothes, but why did you stay there for so long?"
The queen squinted her eyes, looking bored.
When she just saw Jiang Xue and the prince rolling together, she was indeed angry, but she soon discovered something strange. Both of them were unconscious and had injuries on their heads. She would not believe it if there was nothing fishy about it.
.
Hearing this, Jiang Yu put away her thoughts and directly apologized:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I wasted my time when I was changing my clothes. I wasted some time. When I came out, the palace maid who was leading the way was missing. I almost lost my way just now, so I came here when I heard something moving here."
The queen pondered, she had also heard about it on weekdays. This daughter-in-law of Jiang Shilang's house was not good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She only liked to dress up all day long. She stole a lot of jewelry and clothes from the ladies and ladies in the capital. She was secretly called
Be the number one idiot in Beijing.
Because of this, the queen actually believed Jiang Yu's seemingly absurd reason.
"But your maid said you were missing."
If the maid hadn't sworn that Jiang Yu was missing and hinted that Jiang Yu had gone to the Royal Garden with the prince, she wouldn't have mobilized an army to come. She just wanted to take the opportunity to settle the marriage between the two so that Taishi Mu could not object.
But now, the person who was caught became Jiang Xue.
Jiang Yu was waiting for the Queen's words and immediately made a sign of surprise when she heard the words.
"Ziyue has always been with me and never left. Could it be Cuizhu?"
Cuizhu had long received Jiang Xue's eyes, feeling confused and anxious. When Jiang Yu finally mentioned her, she immediately said:
"Miss, you said you wanted to see His Highness the Crown Prince for something, and asked your slave to wait. However, an assassin appeared in the palace, and your slave was worried about Miss, so you reported it to the Queen."
Although Cuizhu's words clearly had nothing to do with Jiang Xue, they still confirmed one thing invisibly.
She, Jiang Yu, had an affair with He Lianchen.
"You are talking nonsense! The young lady has been choosing clothes with me all the time, and she has never mentioned that she is looking for His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Before Jiang Yu could speak, Ziyue followed her instructions and killed the matter.
Jiang Yu noticed that Ziyue's ears were slightly red, which would happen when she lied.
Fortunately, others don't know.
Ziyue's words were so convincing that even the prince beside him believed them a little and looked down at Jiang Xue on the ground.
Is it possible that Xueer really regretted it?
Jiang Xue was so angry that she bit her silver teeth into pieces, feeling miserable.
Although she had calculated everything, Jiang Yu didn't expect her to be evaded. Instead, her reputation was damaged and His Highness the Crown Prince was also suspicious.
