Sang Lian looked at Chu Xuanzhi's retreating back, dazed, and suddenly smiled. The tears on her cheeks fell down. She stretched out her hand to wipe them gently, closing her eyes and dispelling all the past scenes in her mind.
She has reached this level of cowardice, but she is still aggressive and refuses to even give herself a place to stay.
Then don't blame her for being cruel.
Sang Lian stumbled to his feet and left the mansion step by step. Before he even stepped out the door, a group of people came outside. The leading guard still held a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
With this shout, everyone was quickly alerted.
The guards looked around and walked straight to Sang Lian: "Are you Miss Sang Lian?"
Sang Lian frowned, then nodded.
The guard immediately opened the imperial edict and read out: "By God, the emperor decrees that Miss Sang Lian is dignified, virtuous, graceful and beautiful, and is a daughter of a famous family. From now on, she can be canonized as Concubine Yu. I hereby express my gratitude!"
Sang Lian was stunned.
"The ministers and others pay their respects to Concubine Yu. May your concubine be blessed with peace and happiness."
All the guards knelt down to Sang Lian to greet him. Sang Lian was in a daze watching this scene.
God is really playing tricks on people. Instead of becoming the concubine of Chu Xuanzhi, she actually became the concubine of Emperor Lingzhou.
Sang Lian stood up slowly, a faint smile appeared on her pale face, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
"Concubine Yu, the emperor also said that if you are not in good health, you can rest in Haozhou. When you feel better, the emperor will take you back with him in disguise when he goes on a visit." The guard said.
Hearing this, Sang Lian immediately knew what Emperor Lingzhou meant.
The titled concubine, whose status was second only to the queen, kept her in Haozhou just to suppress Chu Xuanzhi and Jiang Yunxu.
What an ironic concubine.
But it suited her perfectly.
Who would have thought that someone who was a slave half an hour ago would become a noble concubine in an instant?
Sang Lian turned around and kicked the housekeeper, exuding a fierce momentum: "Come here, drag him out and give me fifty big sticks."
She had not forgotten the cynicism the housekeeper had made towards her in the past few days, and the look on his face when he kicked her out just now.
It's disgusting to look at!
The housekeeper raised his head in horror. He was gagged before he could even ask for mercy. The two guards immediately started beating him.
"stop!"
Jiang Yunxu hurried over after hearing the news. On the way, he heard about the imperial concubine. She scolded Emperor Lingzhou in her heart because she was really afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
Knowing that Prince Xuan's Mansion had offended Duke Zhao's Mansion, he actually dared to make a woman with a discredited reputation a noble concubine at this juncture.
How could a random little orphan girl with an unknown biological father become a queen of a famous family and be given the position of a noble concubine?
I have the intention to punish myself.
Dog Emperor!
"Are you questioning me?" Although Sang Lian was still wearing the same plain dress, with no makeup on her small face, and her face looked up to the sky, she looked weak, but suddenly she became a bit fiercer.
Such a rapid change caught people off guard.
"Princess Xuan is so brave that she even dares not to listen to the words of the imperial concubine!" Pang Pang seemed to have seized the opportunity and kept courting Sang Lian and belittling Jiang Yunxu.
Jiang Yunxu took a deep breath and had to step forward to salute due to etiquette: "My dear concubine, you have a kind heart and you beat the housekeeper of Prince Xuan's Mansion with a stick for no reason. Shouldn't you give a suitable reason?"
"Just because he disrespects the imperial concubine, it's not an exaggeration to beat him to death." Panda Man spoke again.
Sang Lian squinted at Jiang Yunxu and nodded to show his approval of Pang Pangren's words: "This housekeeper is disrespectful to me. Damn it. I originally wanted to punish you with a small punishment, but in this case, let's kill him with a stick!"
Several guards came forward, raised their boards, and were about to hit someone.
Jiang Yunxu knew that Sang Lian was deliberately trying to prevent her from getting off the stage. She glanced at Yin Lei and saw the other person frowned and had a serious expression on his face.
She took a deep breath and rationally told herself not to be impulsive. With so many people watching, Chu Xuanzhi was the unlucky one to be caught.
Chu Xuanzhi has not made that decision yet and cannot force him.
People with different paths do not seek each other.
When the board fell heavily on the housekeeper, the screams were deafening. Jiang Yunxu closed her eyes tightly and kept admonishing herself. A small impatience will ruin a big plan. Sang Lian deliberately angered himself.
Don't be fooled!
You must not be fooled.
"Help, help." The housekeeper yelled miserably.
Yin Lei on the side looked at Jiang Yunxu with a pleading look in his eyes. Jiang Yunxu opened his eyes and saw this scene.
"stop!"
The guard did not stop, but looked at Sang Lian.
"Are you deaf if I say stop?" Jiang Yunxu's face darkened and he shouted in displeasure.
This shout made everyone stop.
"Princess Xuan..." The loser Pang Pang still wanted to be humiliated by Jiang Yunxu, but he was about to add insult to injury.
Jiang Yunxu gave him a sharp look, and Panda was so frightened that he shut his mouth.
"What does Princess Xuan mean by this? Are you going to openly disobey the emperor's orders?"
Sang Lian took a step forward and pointed at the butler: "Keep beating me!"
Jiang Yunxu raised his chin: "Whoever dares to continue to take action, don't blame me for being ruthless. Someone, please stop me, Princess!"
Today's fight is about face. If Sang Lian is not suppressed, Jiang Yunxu will not be able to hold his head high in Prince Xuan's Mansion in the future.
Soon several guards came forward to stop the executioner. There was some argument between the two sides. Jiang Yunxu said in a deep voice: "You are holding a chicken feather as an arrow. Anyone who wants to kill me must have evidence of guilt. As for Concubine Yu,
You said you were disobeying the holy order. Do you dare to ask if the emperor gave you an order to kill people at will?"
Sang Lian's face changed slightly: "You are really sharp-tongued, Jiang Yunxu, you are doing the following!"
"I was given the title of Princess Chen by the Emperor. She went to the ancestral hall. I am on an equal footing with you. How can I say that I am above you? If the Empress were here today, I would respectfully address you as "Sister-in-law of the Emperor". I wonder if you can afford this.
Princess sister-in-law?"
A royal concubine, to put it bluntly, is just a high-level concubine.
Sang Lian's face turned red with anger, and her fists clenched loudly. Was she going to be bullied by Jiang Yunxu all the time?
"How outrageous, Princess Xuan, you are openly provoking the majesty of the royal family!" The guard who delivered the order roared, trying to suppress Jiang Yunxu: "If you know the truth, Princess Xuan will kowtow to the imperial concubine to apologize, otherwise what happened today will definitely happen to me.
I will report back to the emperor!"
Jiang Yunxu was not afraid at all, and laughed angrily: "By the way, you should also go back and ask the emperor when he will come to private patrol in private. What's the matter with a dignified concubine Yu concubine living in my brother's house? There is no need for men and women to guard against each other.
If you don't care about it and ruin the reputation of either of you, do you still want the face of the royal ancestor?"
Jiang Yunxu felt confident despite risking her life. She had a gold medal to avoid death.
"You!" The guard was stunned by Jiang Yunxu's words.
There was silence all around. The two imperial envoys had learned about the reputation of the fierce princess.
Reckless and impulsive, no matter what, King Xuan had to suffer eight bad lives to marry such a princess.
"Is this what you mean, or does King Xuan also think so?" Sang Lian suddenly asked.
This question was asked very cleverly, because it wanted to drag Chu Xuanzhi in, and it would be better to punish him for being disobedient and disrespectful to the emperor's favor.
Jiang Yunxu sneered: "Haven't you heard of Concubine Yu? I was the third concubine before. It was the emperor who personally married me to Prince Xuan. My reputation has always been like this. If you have to blame Prince Xuan,
…”
She raised her head without showing any signs of weakness and said in a deep voice: "Does that mean someone is deliberately using this princess to frame King Xuan, just waiting to punish King Xuan?"
After saying this, everyone present changed their faces. Why did Princess Xuan dare to say anything?
Not shy at all?
"You are slandering the emperor!"
"It is not me who slanders the emperor, but you yourself, Concubine Yu. I believe that the emperor is magnanimous and will not be so small-minded that he cannot tolerate his compatriot King Xuan."
The two women competed against each other, neither giving in to the other.
Sang Lian took a deep breath and told the guards: "I am not in good health, and I still need Princess Xuan to take care of me. Since it is inconvenient for both men and women, I feel sorry for Prince Xuan to move out temporarily."
Jiang Yunxu couldn't refute these words. If he had known that this woman was so difficult to deal with, he shouldn't have been so merciful.
The matter was settled just like that.
Chu Xuanzhi moved to the courtyard next door, and the current large courtyard was freed up for Sang Lian to live in.
As if he loved Sang Lian so much, Emperor Lingzhou gave her more than a thousand guards, all of whom were powerful Ouchi masters.
"The Emperor has made it clear that he deliberately sent people to monitor King Xuan, Concubine Yu... ugh."
Hong Qiao poured a glass of water and handed it to Jiang Yunxu. She really couldn't figure it out. Sang Lian had a bad reputation throughout the capital. How could she become a noble concubine?
"Because the emperor has no intention of letting Concubine Yu return to the capital. He just wants to keep her here to deal with others."
Jiang Yunxu could no longer complain about Emperor Lingzhou's arrangements.
Too doggy.
"Princess, thank you for saving the housekeeper." Yin Lei knelt on the ground, feeling a little excited.
Jiang Yunxu asked: "Who are you, butler?"
"It was the housekeeper who saved this subordinate, so he had the opportunity to come to the prince."
Yin Lei did not hide it. Everyone in Haozhou Mansion was carefully selected by the housekeeper and was absolutely loyal to Chu Xunzhi.
If Chu Xuanzhi hadn't been injured a few years ago and was forced to return to Beijing, there would still be more of them living in Haozhou.
"I have selfish motives for saving the housekeeper, so you don't have to be too polite." Jiang Yunxu said to Hongqiao again: "Go get him a bottle of golden sore medicine."
"yes."
Yin Lei waved his hands repeatedly: "Princess, I don't dare to ask for it anymore."
"This medicine was made by me myself, and it works well, so there is no need to refuse."
It's just a bottle of medicine, and since Yin Lei often does things for him, Jiang Yunxu is still very generous.
"Thank you, Princess."
When there is an additional master in the house, things become a little complicated. For example, if the master insists on eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, the kitchen must put down its work and start busying with the concubine.
It was almost afternoon and Jiang Yunxu hadn't had lunch yet.
Another example is that the blood swallow in the warehouse was rejected by the other party as not pure enough, and there was no way to let it nourish its body.
The accountant had to go buy it.
In just one day, the house was disturbed by chickens and dogs, and many people were punished for no reason.
Chu Xuanzhi didn't rush back until the evening, and he immediately went to find Jiang Yunxu.
"I asked someone to set up a courtyard next door and opened a small gate. Our two courtyards are right next to each other. It is better for the prince to come back from the main entrance to avoid being caught."
Jiang Yunxu pointed in a direction on the right: "That woman was very fierce today."
This sentence directly broke Chu Xuanzhi's guard and relieved the solemn atmosphere. When the imperial edict came, he happened to go out to do something and learned the news halfway.
"I was reckless today..."
"No, you are doing very well. No matter what you do, don't worry, I will support you."
Chu Xuanzhi knew that everyone thought Jiang Yunxu was reckless and tough, but he knew in his heart that this girl was relaxed and relaxed in doing things and would not lose her temper for no reason.
It's just using a strong reputation to cover up and fight for yourself.
"You don't blame me?"
Chu Xuanzhi shook his head, with a gentle smile in his eyes: "No wonder, as you said, some people will die if they don't fight. If they die, why not fight?"
He is the war god prince of Lingzhou Kingdom who has made great achievements in war. He has a noble status and is capable of literature and martial arts, but he never thought that one day he would rebel.
It's just that in the past few years, he has been forced by others and has become more and more decadent, like a trapped animal, left to die.
But today he suddenly realized that the soldiers who had followed him had sacrificed too much. If he compromised, these people would not end well.
Chu Xuanzhi is not afraid of death.
But he must not die bearing the infamy, and he must not let his former subordinates bear the infamy as well.
not worth!
Jiang Yunxu looked at the other party with bright and dark eyes. He was completely different from the usual gentle and gentle Nine Emperors Uncle. She didn't know whether to be excited or scared.
"You can go ahead and do whatever you want, but I still have the final say in Haozhou."
It was these words that gave Jiang Yunxu the confidence. Before she could be moved, a little maid came outside the door: "Princess Xuan, the imperial concubine suddenly feels unwell in her abdomen. Please go and have a look."
One sentence brought me back to reality.
Chu Xuanzhi's face darkened and he whispered a few words to Jiang Yunxu. Jiang Yunxu frowned: "Is this possible?"
"That person is very concerned about his reputation. If he doesn't get rid of these people in time, he will be a big trouble if he stays around."
The reason why he asked Jiang Yunxu to come to Haozhou was that he wanted her to stop worrying and be free.
Instead of having to salute and grovel when Haozhou comes.
Jiang Yunxu hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Since the prince said so, let's try it."
"good."
The two men acted separately.
Jiang Yunxu tidied up briefly and left with Hongqiao. The maid saw Chu Xuazhi coming out of the door. She was not surprised at all. Concubine Yu Gui had known the news since Chu Xuazhi entered the door, so she sent
Come and invite Jiang Yunxu away by yourself.
Jiang Yunxu happened to see the maid showing a triumphant smile, and she rolled her eyes.
When they arrived at Sang Lian's yard, Jiang Yunxu reached out and deliberately took off her veil and pinched her face. After a while, her face turned red. Regardless of the scars on her face, she was obviously shy at this time.
appearance.
Sure enough, there was a line of sight staring at his cheek from the moment he entered the door.
