King Ying had just finished his morning court, and as he approached the palace gate, he saw several court ministers already waiting there.
When the ministers saw Prince Ying approaching, they all went up to greet him and said to him: "Your Majesty, a new restaurant has recently opened in the capital. I heard it is quite good. I wonder if you would appreciate it...?"
"You're welcome." Prince Ying neither agreed nor refused, why: "His Majesty has been in trouble many times recently, and his face is much worse than before. Haven't you seen it? If you are still doing these drinking and having fun at this juncture,
I’m afraid it would be bad if His Majesty found out about this matter, right?”
The ministers surrounding him wanted to say something else, but King Ying just smiled and said: "Let's forget it. I have always been an idle prince who no one cares about. Please spare me. Not to mention me.
My health has only just recovered, and I really don’t have the energy to go out and walk around.”
After saying that King Ying strode away, the ministers knew that they had been a little cold towards King Ying in the past, and it would not be easy to get along with him now, so they glanced at each other and had no choice but to disperse in anger.
Xia Mingzhong was already waiting outside the palace gate. As soon as King Ying came out, Xia Mingzhong hurriedly walked over and whispered in King Ying's ear: "They are coming from Duyuanqiao."
Prince Ying slowly got on the carriage and said, "What is he here for? But what's going on in the north?"
Xia Mingzhong said: "I don't know yet, I asked him to wait in the palace first."
Prince Ying gently closed his eyes and said: "Well, he hasn't been here for a long time. I almost forgot about this person. Now that he is here, let's see if there is any useful information from him. Listen.
It doesn’t hurt to hear it once.”
Prince Ying's carriage sped up and drove towards the Sixth Prince's Mansion. Not far behind them, there was another carriage following.
The two carriages were traveling in the same direction. Shortly after Prince Ying got off the carriage and entered, the carriage behind him stopped at the gate of the palace.
The woman in the carriage was dressed in plain cloth and her hair was tied high with a ribbon. She was neat and tidy. As soon as she stepped out of the carriage, she happened to meet Yue Xin who was about to go out from the palace.
Yue Xin's steps slowed down, and she looked hesitantly towards the carriage as she walked. It wasn't until she took a few steps closer that she called out uncertainly: "Is this Miss Guan?"
We haven't seen each other for a year, but Guan Jiyu has changed a lot. Her overall condition is much better than before. She is no longer the sickly one who has difficulty walking. The sickly paleness on her face has faded a lot.
With such a heroic appearance, it was really difficult for Yue Xin to recognize him for a while.
"Long time no see, Yue Xin." Guan Jiyu smiled and said hello generously.
Yue Xin said happily: "Miss Guan! It's really you, the girl! I didn't expect that you can come back to the palace after so long." She stepped forward and asked with concern: "Is the girl's health feeling better?
"
Guan Jiyu moved his wrist and said: "I'm much better. I can eat, sleep, and go out to the market. Except that I can no longer practice martial arts, everything else is normal! Speaking of which, the medicine given by Master Zeng Qi was very good.
Not bad, I took it and it was quite effective. It's just that it's been a while since I finished taking the medicine. I just returned to the capital and just came to the palace to get some more medicine. If it's convenient, it would be best if you give me the prescription.
It saves a lot of trouble on the road."
Yue Xin nodded and said: "That's good, that's good!" She said with a smile on her face: "I'm just telling you, why did the prince come back so early today? It turns out it's because you're here, girl. Come in quickly.
, Your Majesty has just entered the mansion."
Guan Jiyu was startled and was wondering how Prince Ying knew she was coming. Yue Xin said, "I'm going out to buy some things. I'll go find the girl when I come back later!"
Guan Jiyu said no more and walked straight into the palace.
There was no one in the front hall, so Guan Jiyu went directly to Prince Ying's study. When he arrived at the door of the study and was about to knock on the door, he heard the voices of people inside.
Just listen to King Ying say: "Is the news accurate? I'm not 100% sure. Don't say such things to my ears. You should know that I never listen to such half-truths and half-false news."
Another person replied: "This is absolutely true! The Yanjiang Corridor in the north is now guarded by Jiang Yingnian. In the past, there were at most a few low-income Hechiliu refugees who went to make trouble.
That’s all, but Hechiliu has sent a team to station at the Yanjiang Corridor in recent days. This matter is not a trivial matter, I’m afraid Hechiliu is about to make a big move..."
Regardless of the content of the conversation inside, Guan Jiyu only felt that the voice of the person talking to King Ying was extremely familiar, and he couldn't help but put his ear closer and continued to listen.
"I haven't heard about it yet, why is Hechiliu so impatient?" King Ying snorted lightly and said: "The Zhenyu Kingdom is considered useless. I haven't paid attention to them for a long time. Why?
I haven’t replied to any of the letters I sent you. Such stupid teammates will only slow down my pace.”
Another person added: "That's why I want to tell you Hechiliu Fang's movements in time to avoid being like the True Foolish Country..."
"The True Fool Kingdom was destroyed by their own hands. There was such a good opportunity, but internal struggles in the True Fool Royal Family continued. Several people in one country made the decision, and I was too lazy to listen to their opinions." King Ying Ruo
He thought thoughtfully: "Now we can only see what Hechiliu will do. I hope they won't be too stupid. Today's border defense team is not what it used to be. Xiang Ju'an has several capable assistants, so it is not that easy to deal with."
The man replied: "Yes, Your Majesty is far-sighted, and I can always feel at ease following you." He smiled contemptuously and said, "But Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much, it's just a few newly grown stupid heads."
Qingzi, my wife is a bit young."
King Ying frowned and sneered: "Don't look down on others when you talk. Let's not talk about other people. Now the newly promoted generals defending cavalry Jiang Yingnian and defending generals Zheshu are enough to help Xiang Ju'an hold up half of the sky.
That’s not to mention He Lanchang’s second son, He Lanlan. If he hadn’t been granted the title because of the incident in the past, do you think everyone in Xiang Junying is vegetarian?”
Hearing this, Guan Jiyu felt relieved. She had never seen Jiang Yingnian again this year. During the Chinese New Year, Guan Jiyu returned to Nanqin once, but did not see Jiang Yingnian back.
That dream that is getting farther and farther away from her will always be realized by someone for her.
That person was Zhe Shu, and he was also very good. In this way, both honors of defending the honor and defending the knight fell on Jiang Fu.
"Jiang Yingnian..." The person who spoke inside suddenly laughed a few times. At first, Guan Jiyu thought the voice was familiar, but when she heard this burst of laughter, she suddenly remembered that this person should be the capital of the Beizhong family.
The head of the mansion is far away from the bridge!
The voice she has remembered since she was a child, no matter how long it takes, she will still remember his laughter. When she lost to Zhan Feng, he laughed like this and said to Zhan Feng, "Then it's you."
But what is Duyuanqiao doing here now? Why is he familiar with King Ying?
After Du Yuanqiao finished laughing, he said with half pride: "He's just a brat from Nanqin, he won't make much of a difference. Jiang Qing was in the limelight at that time, and I could deal with him easily. Am I still afraid of him?"
?』
King Ying said lightly: "Don't look down on people at any time. I think he has brains. If you put him in any position, he can do great things." He also told Du Yuanqiao: "
He is different from his brothers. This kid is not someone to be trifled with. Now he is stationed at the Yanjiang Corridor. You have to be cautious in everything. He is very smart, so don't let him catch any clues.
"
Guan Jiyu's head was full of "buzzing" sounds. What did Du Yuanqiao mean when he said, "Jiang Qing was very popular at that time, and I could deal with it easily." Her fingers were tightly clasped on the door frame.
Mu Mu, this doubt is getting bigger and bigger, making her heart beat fast.
There seemed to be silence for a while in the study. Only the sound of the teacup being picked up and put down was heard. Then Prince Ying added, "Don't count on me for everything. I don't want to do that."
I'll follow you." He said half jokingly, half seriously: "I remember that your two families were family friends in the past. If Jiang Yingnian knew that the murderer behind his eldest brother's death was you, his family brother, then he would probably not
I will give up and give up."
Du Yuanqiao paused and said, "He won't know."
It has been two years since Jiang Qing's death. In the past two years, Guan Jiyu dared not forget this incident almost day and night. Jiang Qing's death seemed to have become a mystery. She could not think of the real enemy even if she thought hard.
Who is it? Where is it?
Guan Ji
Yu stood at the door of the study in a daze. She could no longer hear what the people inside said behind her. The only words in her ears were these words - the murderer behind the scenes is you, my brother.
The murderer behind the scenes is Du Yuanqiao.
The murderer who killed Jiang Qing was Du Yuanqiao!
After parting ways with Jiang Yingnian last year, Guan Jiyu did not forget about seeking revenge even though she was ill this year. She walked many places and was too tired to walk countless times. She also relied on her obsession to persist.
Now. It turns out that after going around in circles for so long, the answer to this mystery has returned to the very beginning.
Guan Jiyu suddenly remembered the words Jiang Yingnian scolded her when he rushed back to Jiang Mansion after learning about Jiang Qing's death.
She still remembers those words.
At that time, Du Yuanqiao came to Jiang Mansion to express condolences. She also remembered the strange words Jiang Yingnian said.
It's just that Guan Jiyu has always believed that she was not someone who would completely abandon her old master after having a new master. Now looking at her so-called attitude of caring about her old relationship at that time, it has become a big joke.
Guan Jiyu clenched her teeth. She looked at the fist she wanted to clench, and it looked like she had no strength at all.
She has never been so powerless as she is now. Now her hands are completely useless except for daily tasks such as eating and dressing.
The top expert of the Qingzi camp who is always ranked number one, the only female general in the military camp who is said to be like a god, at this moment, facing this enemy who doesn't know much Kung Fu, there is nothing he can do.
She gently tiptoed and retreated some distance silently. She was about to leave secretly when no one wanted to, but she happened to bump into Xia Mingzhong walking towards her.
Xia Mingzhong was simple, but she was also very surprised and asked: "Are you looking for the prince?"
Guan Jiyu tried hard to calm down. She even managed a smile and pretended to be relaxed: "Long time no see. I am indeed here to see the prince. I saw the carriage outside. I didn't see it in the front hall just now, so I thought
Come in and look for it."
She pointed to the study and said, "I haven't had time to go over and take a look. Is the prince in there?"
