Chapter 512 Zheng Lu was injured
It is easy for them to talk about it here now, but how to get people into the imperial city is another troublesome matter.
Over the past few months, although Li Xingsang and others had not met His Majesty directly, they had gained a general understanding of him from what Jiang An had said.
Li Xingsang said worriedly, "Our Majesty is short-sighted and suspicious by nature. I'm afraid that even if An An tells him the interests involved in this matter, he may not necessarily stand on our side."
Master Xie was a great worry to him, so of course he hoped that this man would die soon so that he could feel relieved!
If he stayed one more day, he would not be able to sleep well...
Even if Old Tutor Xie died before the Autumn Examination and caused chaos in the capital, His Majesty would not care. After all, he still has Jiang An to rely on.
If something serious really happens, he will be safe in the imperial city, and there will be others to lead the charge!
So what if the Autumn Examination cannot be held as scheduled? !
Although the Xie family was not involved in this autumn examination, Song Shen was not truly on the side of His Majesty after all.
The whole court knew that Jiang An was on good terms with the princess, and Song Shen often visited Jiang An's residence...
Your Majesty cannot take advantage of the Autumn Examination and cannot get his own people in. Naturally, he hopes that the Xie family and Jiang An will not take advantage either.
This is His Majesty...
He completely ignored the overall situation and only hoped that the position under his butt would be more and more stable!
There are only a few people who call the shots in the palace...
Qi Shanyuan saw the little girl's thoughts and said to her in a serious tone: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not make plans with the Queen Mother and others!"
It is obvious what they are thinking.
This is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger!
Jiang An's thoughts were seen through. He scratched his hands awkwardly and smiled guiltily.
She really planned to go find her mother.
The room was silent for a moment, and the only sound was the faint sound of the candle wick burning.
"that…"
Huo Changming seemed to have something to say.
Just when things were at a stalemate, there were suddenly chaotic footsteps in the yard...
Jiang An's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared straight at the corridor at the entrance.
There was only the faint light from the lanterns in the yard illuminating the shadows of the trees. It was a rainy day today, so there was no bright moon in the sky and it was pitch black all around.
The visitor did not bring any guiding lights and walked in a hurry.
A dark shadow swooped down from the roof in the yard, holding a broadsword and standing in front of Jiang An to guard him.
Jiang Si's sword was half-drawn, already filled with murderous intent!
"Miss!"
Zhengyan's voice came, as if a reminder.
Jiang Si put away the knife, turned around and saluted his master, then left in the blink of an eye.
"My brother is injured!"
As he finished speaking, Jiang An indeed smelled a faint scent of blood mixed in the wind.
She suddenly stood up, took two or three steps out of the house, and prepared to check the situation.
Qi Shanyuan also looked solemn, "I'll go to the side hospital to find a doctor."
Everyone was busy and placed Zhenglu in the side room of the young lady's courtyard.
The closer you get, the stronger the smell of blood becomes...
Jiang An looked calm and called upon the secret guards to clean up after Zheng Yan and the others along the way.
After doing all this, she didn't care about anything else, entered the side room and went straight around the screen to the inner room.
She had to see it with her own eyes to feel at ease!
"What's going on? What happened?"
Jiang An's eyes first fell on the guard who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
Zheng Lu was lying on the bed, looking like he was unconscious. The pain in his back was unbearable, and he unconsciously groaned even though he had passed out.
The knife wound went through the entire back from the shoulder blade, exposing the skin and flesh! The blood spread, dyeing the pure white inner garment bright red.
"Miss…"
Zhengyan was standing by the bed, his eyes a little red and showing a hint of uneasiness, like a child who had suffered a great injustice.
"I took some people... to meet him outside Shangxianfang according to your instructions, and I happened to meet my brother walking out from the top of the wall."
Zhenglu supported himself on the wall and took every step with difficulty.
He felt something was wrong at the time...
"Did you see who did it?"
"Did anyone chase you on the way back?"
Zhengyan shook his head and said, "I was the only one there at the time, and I didn't notice anyone following me on the way back."
The doctor cut open Zhenglu's clothes...
Zheng Yan sniffed, "Miss, this scene is ugly... bloody. You just wait outside, we are here for you."
"By the way, this was given to me by my brother."
Zhengyan took out a few flowers wrapped in silk from his arms. They were bright red and looked seductive.
Jiang An knew that if he stayed here he could only watch, so he might as well not let Zhenglu down by being injured this time and do things well!
“Brew…”
The little girl said, "They are rude, you should stay and watch over them."
"Yes."
"If Zhenglu wakes up, please find out who did it so that I can collect the debt for him!"
The flowers that Zhenglu brought back were divided into two parts, one was sent to the secret group, and the other was given to Cang Ying along with a letter to Xie Yunshan... and sent back to the north.
In the darkness of night, Jiang An stood in the yard, with a goshawk preening its feathers on his shoulder.
She fed the little ancestor a piece of meat and coaxed him in a gentle voice, "It's urgent. You can't run off to chase the mother eagle this time!"
"Chirp!"
The goshawk's pea-sized eyes showed dissatisfaction, and it swept the little girl's face with its wings, as if asking her not to bring up the past.
Watching the eagle spread its wings and disappear without a trace in the darkness, the little girl still had a sad face...
Behind her, Qi Shanyuan and the other three accompanied her silently.
"Ugh…"
This was the umpteenth time Huo Changming sighed tonight.
Li Xingsang's forehead veins jumped a few times, and he tapped his stone-like shoulder with his folding fan.
"Just say whatever you want to say, don't always sigh!"
Young Master Huo shrank his shoulders, looking aggrieved.
"I just want to say, since he can't be sent to the palace, why not send Old Master Xie to the Huguo Temple?"
"That's the Imperial Master's territory, and the Prime Minister's wife can't interfere."
During the days they had been in Kyoto, Qi Shanyuan and Li Xingsang had not actually often gone out to hang out. They were always worried that they had fallen into someone's trap and would hinder the girl.
On the contrary, Huo Changming, relying on his bravery, was the one who really saw all the new things in Kyoto!
He heard about the Huguo Temple and the Imperial Master from the teahouse.
The national teacher of a country, even if His Majesty wants to meet him, he has to be invited again and again!
In an instant, Jiang An turned to look at his brother, who seemed to be a simple-minded person, as if he was eyeing a piece of meat.
Yes, how could she forget about the Huguo Temple!
It was also because the Toffee was too quiet and didn't make any noise for her to notice.
Politeness: Are you Toffee?
Now, except for those bald monks, everyone else in the Huguo Temple is Jiang An's people!
Even the Imperial Master owes a lot to the State Palace!
Even Li Xingsang and Qi Shanyuan looked at this idiot with surprise.
The three of them were so angry that Young Master Huo was furious!
He took a step back and skillfully made a gesture to run away, "What are you going to do!"
Did he say it wrong?
Really wrong? ?
"You can do it!"
Li Xingsang joked, "Following An An, he is becoming more and more cunning!"
The slap in the face I imagined didn't land on the back of my head, but instead I got a compliment.
Immediately, Huo Changming felt as if he had floated into the sky!
He giggled and scratched his head, "Hehe..."
Jiang An stared, unhappy.
"What do you mean by cunning?"
“That’s called intelligence!”
She rolled her eyes at Xing Sang and shouted toward the roof, "Four Four!"
Jiang Si appeared from the darkness, landed lightly on the roof, and waited for his master's orders.
"Zhengyan and the others will stay at the mansion. You take the secret guards with me to the Huguo Temple outside the city."
"Go now?" Qi Shanyuan was a little worried.
The city gates have long been closed and there is a curfew in the city.
"Ah."
Jiang An put on his cloak and asked someone to bring him a sword.
"The palace banquet is the best opportunity. Everyone will be in the palace by then, and the Xie family will definitely be caught off guard... This is the best way to act."
The most important thing is that Queen Mother Xie will definitely take action against Song Shen at the palace banquet!
She was too busy to do anything, so she could do it herself~
It’s just a pity for our little Minister Song!
