Sang Lian stood in the corridor, the breeze blew by, blowing the hair on her temples. Under the moonlight, her little face was pale, her water-soaked pupils showed no signs of anger, and she was in a daze.
A handsome face lingers in my mind.
She didn't understand.
Why would Chu Xuanzhi rather marry Jiang Yunxu than accept himself?
How am I worse than this ugly monster?
Tears streamed down her cheeks, and when I reached out and touched the ice, it was cold, three points colder than the night wind.
Suddenly, a dart flew over from outside with a whooshing sound and plunged directly into the pillar.
Sang Lian frowned, looked around and shouted, "Who?"
There is silence all around.
Sang Lian reached out to take off the dart and took off a piece of paper, revealing a few lines of small words.
After seeing the content clearly, Sang Lian suddenly realized.
No wonder Chu Xuanzhi helped Jiang Yunxu in everything.
That idiot Chu Youqi has been deceived for so long that he doesn't even know what Jiang Yunxu looks like.
Sang Lian clutched the note tightly. From today on, she would not underestimate Jiang Yunxu.
next day
Jiang Yunxu got up early. After washing up, she heard Hongqiao say: "Princess, Miss Sang Lian knelt for three full hours last night and didn't leave until dawn."
"Leaving?"
Do you want to continue performing without staying?
Hong Qiao shook her head: "Kneel down when the time is up and then leave. Be quiet in the yard."
Jiang Yunxu touched the tip of his nose. What's going on?
"There is news from the capital that Xiangya has sent people to look for trouble. It is estimated that there is going to be a war. There has been some instability recently."
As soon as I mentioned this, the sound of drills came from outside.
Jiang Yunxu's eyelids twitched: "Could the Emperor want Uncle Nine Emperors to train his troops before attacking Xiangya?"
If this is really the case, Emperor Lingzhou is too despicable.
Chu Xuanzhi was injured in the battle while leading the troops. Emperor Lingzhou took the opportunity to take back most of Chu Xuazhi's troops, so that Chu Xuazhi now only had 50,000 troops in his hands.
It takes 50,000 troops to fight against Xiangya.
Didn’t the Lingzhou Emperor want Chu Xuanzhi to die?
"The princess guessed it right, the messenger from the capital is already on his way."
Yin Lei said this from the treetops.
"hiss?"
Jiang Yunxu took a breath and secretly cursed something despicable and shameless.
"The Emperor of Lingzhou has blamed all this matter on the prince, and wants the prince to go to Xiangya to apologize in person! If the apology fails, there will be a war!" Yin Lei said.
The imperial edict came faster than expected.
Emperor Lingzhou also sent two imperial envoys, Pang Pang and Master Yu, to supervise.
As soon as Panda entered the door, he began to point fingers at the mansion without any courtesy: "The emperor thought that King Xuan had been wronged in Haozhou, but he didn't expect that this place is no less prosperous than the emperor's feet."
"No, no wonder the thieves have been keeping an eye on Haozhou, he is really rich."
Master Yu cooperated, with a face full of sarcasm, and he raised his chin: "Even my house doesn't have such beautiful white pine trees, tsk tsk."
Suddenly Panda walked around and asked again: "Where is King Xuan? Why don't you come out to greet him?"
This attitude is extremely arrogant.
"My lords, my prince has been in poor health these past two days..."
Before the butler could finish his words, Panda kicked him hard on the knee.
The housekeeper knelt on the ground in pain, his face showing pain.
"I want to see your master. You, a slave, are talking nonsense. Even if King Xuan is about to get sick and die, he still has to crawl out to receive the order!"
Pang Daren shouted loudly: "Why don't you go and inform King Xuan quickly?"
Jiang Yunxu stood under the eaves, squinting at the two ministers, one more arrogant than the other.
Why would Emperor Lingzhou send these two people?
"Are you... Princess Xuan?" Pang Pangren stopped and saw Jiang Yunxu's face covered, so he guessed her identity.
Jiang Yunxu snorted coldly: "Since you know my identity, why don't you bow quickly?"
Panda and Master Yu looked at each other and laughed: "We are the imperial envoys!"
"Hongqiao!"
Hong Qiao stretched out her legs, and Master Da Da and Master Yu were kicked hard. They couldn't bear the strength and knelt down on one knee.
"Ouch!"
"Crazy woman! If you dare to attack the imperial envoy, you will rebel!"
"It seems that this is King Xuan's intention. King Xuan really wants to be disobedient to the emperor!"
Jiang Yunxu scolded: "You are here under orders, and I am here under orders. I am just here to teach you the rules. You are talking about King Xuan. If you dare to be disrespectful to me again, I will smash your mouths!"
"you!"
Da Da Da and Master Yu looked at each other. They wanted to give Chu Xuanzhi a show of strength, but unexpectedly they were beaten by Jiang Yunxu, which destroyed the power.
This tone cannot be tolerated!
"Princess Xuan, these two are imperial envoys. You can't be so tyrannical. You will bring trouble to Prince Xuan."
Sang Lian arrived at some unknown time and apologized anxiously to the two ministers.
"You two, please calm down and don't get angry. I will apologize to you two on behalf of the princess."
As soon as Sang Lian appeared, Pang Pang and Mr. Yu immediately became arrogant again. Pang Pang stood up and wanted to stand up, but was kicked by Hong Qiao again, and he knelt down again with a crunch.
"Who do you think you are? You dare to teach me how to do things?"
Jiang Yunxu did not give Sang Lian any face. She pointed at Da Da and Lord Yu: "Who doesn't know that the current emperor Renxiao and King Xuan are brothers and sisters, so why would he send a bullshit imperial minister to sow discord between brothers?"
Being insulted, Master Da Da and Master Yu looked very ugly.
"Come here, send someone immediately to send a message to the capital. Be sure to describe the two ministers' arrogance and arrogance word for word. In addition, you must also make it clear that I taught the two adults a lesson in order to save the emperor's face!
"
Jiang Yunxu ordered the guards.
Yin Feng saw this scene as soon as he entered the door, and he almost regarded the princess as his idol.
So cool!
His father has always suffered from being dumb in public, but now someone finally came forward to help.
"Yin Feng, you're here at the right time. You can't let the princess do whatever she wants. The two adults are from the capital!"
Sang Lian said anxiously to Yin Feng, "Go find your cousin quickly."
Yin Feng didn't even look at Sang Lian, but agreed with Jiang Yunxu's words: "I obey!"
"Yin Feng!" Sang Lian's eyes deepened.
"By the way, find another carriage to take Miss Sang Lian back to the capital!"
Jiang Yunxu pointed at Sang Lian. This man was an eyesore.
Sang Lian suddenly looked back at Jiang Yunxu, trembling with anger: "You! You have no right to do this. I...I'm here to take care of my cousin."
"In what capacity do you take care of me?" Jiang Yunxu asked with a sneer.
Sang Lian's face turned red from embarrassment and she clenched her fists tightly.
"You are a good girl who shamelessly lives in someone else's house. King Xuan has already rejected you. Come and see us off!"
Jiang Yunxu has already taken the risk. She is a shrew anyway, and she is not afraid of adding one more crime.
Moreover, she would have to leave Prince Xuan's Mansion sooner or later.
There are some things that are most suitable for her to solve.
"You!" Sang Lian didn't expect Jiang Yunxu to be so tough outside and not give him any face.
She was so angry that she vomited a mouthful of blood, her body softened, and she lay on the ground.
"You jealous woman!"
Upon seeing this, Pang Daren immediately shouted: "You are not worthy of being Princess Xuan at all, you can't even tolerate an innocent woman!"
"It's just that you are too vicious."
The two men pointed at Jiang Yunxu's nose and insulted him.
Jiang Yunxu shrugged, his face not red, his heart not beating. He had long developed a thick skin for these insults.
After the other party had scolded her enough, she asked casually: "Come here, serve tea to the two adults. After scolding for so long, my throat is thirsty. Please moisten your throat."
Soon Yin Lei brought two glasses of water and placed them in front of the two people.
The two people were dumbfounded.
This Princess Xuan is really intolerable!
The little maid cleverly brought her a stool, tea and snacks.
Jiang Yunxu grabbed a handful of snacks in his hand, raised his ears and said with a smile: "If you continue to scold me, I will learn from you."
"You!" The two ministers' faces turned red with anger, and they were choked and couldn't say a word.
Jiang Yunxu turned to Yin Lei and ordered: "Prepare a private room for the two ministers. Since the two ministers think that we are too extravagant, they must want to be thrifty and constrain themselves and 'entertain well'!"
Yin Lei understood instantly: "Princess, don't worry, my subordinates understand."
"What right do you have to arrange for us?"
Panda asked angrily.
"I am Princess Xuan, and I have to take care of everything in the yard!"
Jiang Yunxu threw the melon seeds on the plate and lost his patience: "Whoever dares to send women to Prince Xuan's Mansion, or bring in unclean people, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yunxu became a jealous and jealous woman.
And even though Sang Lian was about to faint on the ground, no one came outside.
The two maids reached out to grab Sang Lian, but before she could open her mouth, she was gagged.
Panda and Master Yu were also asked away by two guards.
Pang Daren had a cold face and was unhappy. He was about to call someone, but was interrupted by Jiang Yunxu: "This is the territory of Prince Xuan's Mansion. Don't be unhappy here. If you dare to use chicken feathers as arrows, don't blame me."
Remind you!"
Coupled with her fierce and cold eyes, the two of them were so frightened that they shut up.
Jiang Yunxu waved his hand: "Everyone, please step aside."
This tone is like dismissing a beggar.
Without giving the two of them a chance to talk, he took the maid to the back pond to feed the fish.
Sitting next to the chair, Jiang Yunxu grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it into the pond.
After a while, Chu Xuazhi stood beside her.
Jiang Yunxu looked back at Chu Xuazhi.
"Sang Lian is still outside, I drove her away."
"This king knows."
Chu Xuanzhi's tone did not contain any complaints at all, but he said in a very appreciative tone: "If you were my king, what would you do today?"
Jiang Yunxu raised his eyebrows and immediately threw down all the fish food in his hand.
It attracted fish to jump out of the water and fight with each other.
"If I were the prince, I would definitely resist and never compromise. Even if the prince doesn't fight or grab, no one will believe it."
In the end, it is still a dead word.
Emperor Lingzhou is now thinking of swallowing up Chu Xuanzhi's power, scheming against him at every turn, and will frame him and kill him whenever he gets the chance.
Either die or resist.
Even if Jiang Yunxu was going to die, he would still have someone to support him.
"It's easier said than done..." Chu Xuazhi let out a long sigh.
"The prince cares too much, so he is always controlled by others."
Jiang Yunxu pointed to the fish in the pond: "If you don't fight, you will starve to death."
Following her fingertips, she looked into the pond. The fish were big and small, fat and thin, and the fish on the edge couldn't squeeze in at all.
"Been taught a lesson."
After Chu Xuanzhi said that, he turned around and left. Before leaving, he left a brocade box on the table. It looked like it was quite heavy.
Jiang Yunxu picked it up and opened it, and a red gold hairpin fell into her eyes.
The whole body is golden, the carving is very exquisite, and it is heavy in the hand.
"What about the prince's aesthetics..." Hong Qiao frowned. It's not that it's ugly, it's just that such a heavy hairpin can't help but crush her temples.
Jiang Yunxu smiled: "I think it's excellent and affordable enough."
outside the door
Sang Lian endured her weakness and went to find Chu Xunzhi.
The maid stopped her: "Don't waste your time, the prince will not see you."
Sang Lian held a hairpin in her hand and put it against her throat. With a little force, she scratched a trace of blood.
"Go and send a message. I must see my cousin today, otherwise I will die here!"
The maid glanced at Sang Lian and was not moved at all.
"If I die, the Duke of Zhao will definitely hold me accountable, and you won't be able to run away!" Sang Lian threatened.
The two maids were frightened now and had to ask one of them to go find Chu Xunzhi.
This time it went very smoothly.
Yin Feng appeared with a pale face pushing a wheelchair. Sang Lian immediately walked over but was stopped by Yin Feng.
"Cousin, do you really not care about your name?" she asked reluctantly.
Chu Xuazhi looked at her indifferently.
"I know my cousin misunderstood me, and I really don't want to see my cousin being deceived again."
Sang Lian was a little excited and could be said to be frustrated.
Since childhood, she has been popular everywhere with her good looks.
How many people wanted to marry her, but Chu Xuanzhi didn't even give him a serious look.
"What are you going to say?" Chu Xuazhi was very impatient.
Sang Lian sniffed and choked and said: "Jiang Yunxu has been lying to you. Her face was not injured at all and her appearance was intact. She has committed the crime of deceiving the king. If my cousin continues to trust her,
, the emperor will blame you, she has a rude temper and will hurt my cousin sooner or later..."
Sang Lian stopped pretending now. All her strategies were of no use in Prince Xuan's Mansion.
The guards did not listen to her and could not be bribed.
Chu Xuanzhi is hot and cold, unpredictable.
Now here comes another Jiang Yunxu who doesn't care, and humiliates her endlessly. She is helpless to resist on her own.
This is her last time to make a bet.
Chu Xuanzhi didn't even raise his eyelids, but said coldly: "Are you done? How about the princess? That is a family matter of Prince Xuan's house and has nothing to do with you. But it is a bit inappropriate for you to stay here."
Yin Feng drove people away without politeness.
Chu Xuanzhi on the side showed his acquiescence.
Sang Lian's heart felt cold. She didn't understand why this life would be like this.
"Cousin, the mountains are high and the road is far. I, a girl, am really scared."
Sang Lian lowered his head and tried to stay: "Cousin, can I stay, even if I am your maid?"
Chu Xuanzhi turned the wheelchair with his hand and said mercilessly: "If you want to be a slave, go to Ren Yazi. There is no shortage of maids here."
