It was not difficult for Jiang You to see that if she did not cooperate, Murong Xiu might have murderous intentions towards her.
He has always been arrogant and always feels that he is unparalleled in the world. He has probably never even counted the number of girls he has coaxed. But all his tricks are of no use to her. It happens that what he wants is in her hands, so he is naturally angry.
.
There was a hint of coldness in Murong Xiu's eyes, but he still showed kindness. However, if Jiang You really ignored him, he might really have murderous intentions towards Jiang You.
But the painting has already fallen into her hands, how could she be willing to hand it over?
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, this painting is to be presented to the Queen Mother as a birthday gift and cannot be transferred to you." Jiang You simply said it clearly.
Murong Xiu's expression changed. He didn't expect that Jiang You would take this painting as a birthday gift to the Queen Mother!
Murong Xiu looked at Jiang You for a long time and said in a low voice: "Sixth Miss, as far as I know, your relationship with your father is not very good. You worked so hard to get this painting. Isn't it possible that it was for your father?
But if it weren't for others, you, a concubine... Even if you offer a gift, the Queen Mother will not accept it. Miss Sixth might as well sell me a favor and transfer this painting to me. I will definitely remember Miss Sixth's kindness.
"
Jiang You shook her head and said, "I asked for this painting for Prince Su."
Murong Xiu's expression suddenly changed.
He originally thought that Jiang You and Su Yan were not that familiar. After all, nothing has happened to Jiang You and Su Yan now, and the two of them have gone in a different direction from the book. But now, Jiang You actually said so frankly
She said she was doing it for Su Yan, what's going on? Could it be that... there really is some kind of shady relationship between these two people?
Murong Xiu paused for a moment before saying: "I don't know...when did Sixth Miss and Prince Su have such a good relationship? Prince Su has left such an important matter to you?"
Jiang You listened to the meaning of Murong Xiu's words. There must be something wrong with her answer. It was all to give Murong Xiu an excuse. After all, she and Su Yan were male and female, and they had no engagement. If they were too close,
He always makes people talk about him, and Murong Xiu likes to make people talk about him the most.
Jiang You smiled and said: "Your Highness is joking. Princess Zhenbei asked me for help. How can I refuse? But since I have agreed, I must do it, so I will not say this to His Highness. Farewell."
."
Jiang You didn't want to talk to Murong Xiu anymore, so she directly bypassed Murong Xiu and left here.
Murong Xiu stopped there without moving, his hands behind his back tightly clenched into fists. He slowly turned around and watched Jiang You disappear on the street, his face even more cold.
He slowly let go of his hand, turned to Lin Chongshan, and said, "Chongshan, take someone with you."
Lin Chongshan's eyelids twitched: "Your Highness, do you want that painting?"
Murong Xiu's voice became colder and he said: "Yes, I want that painting... No matter what, I will bring that painting back. As for Jiang You... I don't care whether he lives or dies."
No matter life or death.
Since Jiang You is seeking death, he will never show mercy.
Lin Chongshan was horrified and asked: "Your Highness, is that painting... really that important?"
Murong Xiu nodded and said: "Of course, I am determined to get that painting... As for Jiang You, I have expressed my kindness to her many times. She is so ignorant of praise, what's the use of keeping her?"
It will also cause trouble for himself.
Why should he care about such a woman if he doesn't have any kind of woman? Besides, this woman belongs to Su Yan in the original work, and he has no interest in other people's women.
"Yes." Lin Chongshan agreed.
Jiang You and Fu Sheng quickly left Yuxian Town. Their horses were still tied in the nearby woods. The two got on the horses and started on their way immediately.
Jiang You chose a different route than when she came here before. Although it would take a few more detours, it would be safer.
"Miss, we may not be able to reach the capital by dawn?" Fu Sheng calculated the distance and felt that it was getting farther and farther.
"It's okay, it's safer this way. Murong Xiu won't let go."
"Is this painting... so important?" Fu Sheng was a little doubtful.
Jiang You nodded and didn't explain any more.
She must not let the Queen Mother become Murong Xiu's helper.
The Queen Mother of this dynasty is no ordinary person.
The Queen Mother and the Emperor are not biological mother and son. It can be said that in addition to the help of the King of Zhenbei and others, the Emperor's rise to power is also indispensable for the Queen Mother's support. After the former Emperor died of illness, it was the Queen Mother who supported the Emperor. After the Emperor's throne was stabilized, the Queen Mother
He retreated behind the scenes and never participated in political affairs. However, the emperor respected the Queen Mother very much and was really willing to listen to the Queen Mother's opinions on some matters.
At present, neither the prince nor the princes have a close relationship with the queen mother, who treats everyone equally.
In his previous life, Murong Xiu used this painting to gain the Queen Mother's trust. Because Murong Xiu was very good at making people happy, especially women, even the Queen Mother, they were all made very happy by Murong Xiu.
This painting is a posthumous work by an old friend of the Queen Mother. The person in the painting is the Queen Mother when she was young. And that old friend... was the Queen Mother's lover before she entered the palace. For the Queen Mother, it is extraordinary. The person in the painting is that person.
What he left before his death, even on his deathbed, he still thought of the Queen Mother with all his heart. For the Queen Mother, this was a deep affection that was destined to be unrequited.
Jiang You took a special detour to avoid Murong Xiu's men, but she never expected...
"General Lin, are we taking the wrong path?" The people who followed Lin Chongshan to chase Jiang You couldn't help but question when they saw that Lin Chongshan was taking them on an increasingly eccentric path.
Lin Chongshan composed himself and said: "No, this woman is very cunning. She must have guessed that we would come to chase them. She must have taken a detour back to Beijing. We should chase them from here."
"General Lin is indeed extraordinary!" The man gave Lin Chongshan a thumbs up, "I hope we can catch him and take him back early. Getting what His Highness wants is the key."
"That's natural."
Lin Chongshan originally thought that he took a detour specifically to delay time so that Jiang You could have time to leave. After all, if they didn't take a detour, it would only take two hours to reach the capital. After they left here,
Jiang You should have arrived in the capital long ago.
He thought so, but he didn't expect that their pursuit didn't take long when they met a hunter who was hunting early in the morning, and when he asked about it, he learned a piece of news that almost took his breath away.
"Two girls? Yes, I saw them. They were riding horses, not far away. One girl was wearing a veil, so her face couldn't be seen. The other one... was quite beautiful."
Lin Chongshan: "..."
"General Lin is so tall!" The man admired Lin Chongshan so much, "Those two women really took this path!"
Lin Chongshan couldn't laugh anymore.
He originally wanted to let Jiang You go, but didn't he want to catch up with Jiang You?
Really are……
Destined by fate, they are destined to be enemies.
