Chapter 239

Without waiting for Jiang Ruan to speak, Xuan Pei had already taken the initiative to say: "Lord Mu insisted that mu Xirou enter the palace. At the beginning, I met her and granted her a freedom. If she wants to enter the palace, I promise her that one day, when the Dajin dynasty changes, it will be her own time. "

"So easily did she believe you?" Jiang Ruan was a little surprised. Xuanpei's real strength was gradually revealed in the new year. In the past long days, in the eyes of the public, he was just a spoilt prince, even without the qualification to win the throne. How can such a person win mu Xirou's trust, and even let mu Xirou become a chess piece willingly?

"People always have weaknesses, and she is no exception." Xuan Pei said vaguely: "since it is destined to enter the palace, it's better to fight for a future with your own life than to live a gloomy life after entering the palace. Maybe you can have some magnanimous freedom." Xuanpei's words were about Mu Xirou, but in Jiang Ruan's ears, they were more like talking about himself. Jiang Ruan looked at the boy in front of him and sighed in his heart. She thought she would protect xuanpei very well. In fact, xuanpei had made too much preparation for today before she and xuanpei knew each other. Those hatred and forbearance never separated from his heart, but she ignored them.

Although I don't know how xuanpei convinced mu Xirou to become a chess player, I think xuanpei also paid a lot of price. Jiang Ruan didn't ask any more. Xuan Pei was no longer the child who needed her to plan everything. He was using his own way to protect her and pave the way for her.

"Good." Jiang Ruan said, "now I want you to give me one of the imperial edicts."

Xuanpei was slightly stunned and didn't refuse. Instead, he asked subconsciously, "what does the imperial concubine want to do?" He didn't say which imperial edict it was, but they both knew that it must be the imperial edict with Xiao Shao's name on it. Since Jiang Ruan said that Xiao Shao would not fight for the throne, Xuan Pei believed that he really would not have this idea. But now what does Jiang Ruan want to do with that imperial edict?

"It's not safe for the imperial edict to stay in the palace." Jiang Ruan shook his head and said: "Xiao Shao's identity is a secret. If this story is spread out, I'm afraid the whole Dajin Dynasty will be in a mess. Even if you have the emperor's imperial edict to make you prince, I'm afraid you can't convince the public. He will only give Xuanli a chance to take advantage of it. He just wants to make a mess. Now that Li Gonggong was killed, Xuanli realized that it was wrong. There were his people everywhere in the palace, so it might not be possible to find mu Xirou's head. I'm afraid you will be made by him at that time. It's too uneasy to leave this imperial edict in the palace. I'll take it away and destroy it. "

"But..." Xuan Pei always felt that there was something strange, but he could not tell what was wrong. It was time to hesitate. Jiang Ruan then said, "it's not easy to get into Jinying palace. The royal guards are loyal and powerful. Besides, I'll take away the imperial edict. You only need to disclose a little information with Xuanli, or you don't need to disclose any information at all. Xuanli's people will know about it. In that way, he will point all his spears at Jinying palace. The imperial edict in the palace is safer. In this way, it will buy you a lot of time. Xuanli will not watch you every day and will not relax. "

That's right. Xuanpei doesn't know. Jiang Ruan skillfully substitutes himself into Jinying palace. Indeed, Xuanli may lack some courage in dealing with Jinying palace. Xuanpei, the strength of the royal guards, knows very well that Xuanli has to do something and weigh it up in advance. However, it is much simpler to treat Jiang Ruan, especially without any protection.

Jiang Ruan didn't give Xuan Pei a clue about the crucial moment, so he said, "OK, now take me to get the imperial edict."

"Now?" Xuanpei was a little surprised why Jiang Ruan was so anxious today. He was wronged and said, "don't you have a lot of concubines here? Take the Edict and you'll be out of the palace. "

"There are some things to do today," Jiang Ruan touched his head. "Besides, you have two imperial edicts here. Take them back when it's not too late. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, there are some changes in the palace. I have to go back to the palace to think about it. It's you Peier. Don't act rashly these days. No matter what happens, just remember to let it be. If you have any decision, please ask Xiao Shao to discuss it. Don't be rash. "

Xuanpei said, "why do you want to talk to him?" seeing Jiang Ruan's serious look, he coughed and said, "I know. If there's something, I'll find a way to talk to him."

Jiang Ruan then laughed: "OK, let's go."

In the palace, countless pairs of eyes are staring at Nanyuan. In this case, xuanpei can still control the current trend quietly. On the surface, Xuanli seems to have the upper hand now, but in fact, xuanpei is the one who arranges for the emperor's pillow. Xuanpei is the safest way to deal with all changes. In this chess game, whoever knows more has a better chance of winning. Obviously, Xuanli knew too little.

Mu Xirou is the most clear about where the emperor put the imperial edict. It's very ironic to say that since ancient times, the monarch was the most suspicious. For mu Xirou, who was so cold and didn't have a good face for the emperor, the emperor thought she was the most sincere. The older she was, the more distrustful she was to the people around her. Those gentle whispers were deeply afraid of the hidden arrows. Mu Xirou was out of place in them. Instead, she became the most trusted person beside the emperor. When the imperial edict was placed on mu Xirou's side, she did not have any contact with the imperial palace or the previous dynasty. No one could think of such an important thing as the imperial edict. Mu Xirou's wife could even know it.After all, Jiang Ruan finally got the imperial edict under Xuan Pei's arrangement. In front of Xuan Pei and mu Xirou, she opened the imperial edict and swept it up. In my heart, it's right to make Xiao Shao the crown prince. Even it's written that Xiao Shao is the son of Prince Hongxi. This imperial edict is heavier than Mount Tai in her hand, but xuanpei doesn't care at all. She only hesitates after letting mu Xirou leave and says, "mother, will this bring trouble to Jinying palace?"

He doesn't want to be in charge of the life and death of Jinying palace. However, Jiang Ruan is now the princess of Jinying, who is both prosperous and damaged. If there is something wrong with Jinying palace, Jiang Ruan himself will be involved. So xuanpei had to compromise for the sake of Jinying palace.

Just as he thought about it, Jiang Ruan had sorted out the imperial edict, put it in a wooden box, and put it together with some gifts from the empress dowager, and got up to leave. Xuanpei was surprised. On the one hand, he regretted that Jiang Ruan would leave before he sat down for a while. On the other hand, he was surprised that she put the imperial edict so hastily. Although he thought that Jiang Ruan had been very safe, Xuan Pei was still a little uneasy to remind him: "if my mother's concubine doesn't put it in another place, in this case, it's also..."

"Don't worry, the most dangerous place is the safest place," Jiang Ruan said with a smile. "If it's really too hidden, on the contrary, there is no silver here, which makes people suspicious. If I'm ok, you don't have to send it. It's suspicious. Now you can't make mistakes in everything. Be careful. "

Xuanpei always thinks that today's Jiang Ruan is strange, but he can't tell where it is. However, for a long time, Jiang Ruan hasn't told him something as detailed as today's, which makes xuanpei feel that the situation is more difficult than he imagined. He ordered Mingyue to send Jiang Ruan out of the palace, and Mingyue did as she said.

But there were many eyes and ears in the palace. On weekdays, there were countless eyes staring at Nanyuan. Today, when Jiang Ruan entered the palace, he aroused everyone's suspicions. When he saw that Jiang Ruan had talked with Xuan PEI for a long time, he came out. When he went to visit the Emperor, it seemed that mu Xirou was also there, which made people puzzled.

Xuan Li stood in the room, listening to the return of his subordinates, his eyes were deep. Since the emperor fell ill, he wanted to be a filial son. Of course, it was more convenient for him to find things around the emperor. So he did not go back to his house. Instead, he lived in the palace and cooked water and medicine for the Emperor himself. People who don't know about it are really impressed by his filial piety. From time to time, some people in the court write about his filial piety. Xuanli naturally didn't mind that he had a good reputation. When he served the emperor, he did his best. He doesn't have to use any more tricks in the medicine. Even Xia Qing has no way to cure his illness. He doesn't need to do it at all.

However, Xuan Li frowned tightly. He thought that it was the perfect way for the emperor to sleep until he died. But now it seems that the emperor's illness is not the right time, just because he has not found the imperial edict. The emperor wrote down the imperial edict early, and the imperial edict is not his name at all. This is something he had guessed for a long time, and later it was confirmed from Li Gonggong's mouth. If you know a son better than a father, you know a father better than a son. After being a father and son to the emperor for so many years, when did he no longer regard him as a father, but as an opponent? It was a stumbling block. Xuanli had forgotten. After so many years of fighting in secret, he never got the upper hand.

Xuanli was clear about the emperor's Secret care and protection for the prince. Because of this, he could not make a better plan. Xuanli was also puzzled sometimes. The emperor clearly hated the prince. The prince was incompetent and ungrateful. Why did the emperor protect him from giving up that position. Anyone can see that the emperor keeps the crown prince, but he doesn't want anyone to do that for the time being. Who is he keeping the crown prince for? Xuanli always thought that he was the only one who had the most qualifications among the princes in the Dajin Dynasty, but he also clearly felt that the emperor appreciated him, praised him, always encouraged him, and treated him very well, but he never thought of letting him sit in that position in his heart.

Xuanli was puzzled, and then unwilling. Under this kind of emotional repression, he became extremely distorted. He removed the possible threats one by one in the fight in the palace, but in the end, the emperor did not want to change his mind to make him the prince. He finally gave up the last trace of kindness in his heart and drugged the emperor's food.

Since ancient times, regicide, patricide, take the matter of the law is not rare. Xuanli is no longer the one who tangled about making this decision at the beginning. He frankly thinks that this is right, and this is the best way. If you want anything in the world, you can grab it or fight for it. He is always the most tolerant and excellent hunter, and he will laugh to the end.

But on the way there was Xuan Pei.

From an incompetent prince to an opponent who can compete with him, Xuanli always has a vicious feeling of anger when facing xuanpei. At the beginning, Xuan Pei was not qualified to be an opponent. But now, the emperor had the intention to make him the crown prince, and Xuan Pei even got the support of Jinying palace. How could Xuan Li feel better. If he could, he would have cut xuanpei to pieces.

Just now the people under his command came back to report that Jiang Ruan and Xuan Pei had been together for a long time, but he had some doubts in his heart. It was said that he went to see the emperor together, and mu Xirou was also there, so Xuan Li had a guess in his heart.If we say where the imperial edict is safest in the world, it is Jinying palace. Perhaps the civil and military officials would say that the imperial edict from King Jinying's mansion is not convincing, because it is a family of disorderly officials and thieves. But only Xuanli knew that the emperor had always given Xiao Shao 120000 yuan of trust, which sometimes made him feel jealous. At one time, Xuanli even thought that the emperor and Xiao Shao had any blood relationship, but later the spies sent out did not find anything. Xuanli knew clearly that the emperor never doubted Jinying palace.

Therefore, the imperial edict may really be in Jinying palace.

As long as he wanted to be here, Xuan Li couldn't help getting upset. You know, if you know where the imperial edict is, the next step is to grab it back. But where Jinying palace is, people can easily get close to it.

The spy also said: "just now when Princess Jinying entered Nanyuan, she took the Empress Dowager's reward with her."

Xuanli's spies have always been good at this. Naturally, they will not miss any details. It is not a big deal to bring the Empress Dowager's reward to Nanyuan. Maybe Jiang Ruan wants to choose some rewards for xuanpei. But speaking about it here seems to touch a chord in Xuanli's heart. Could it be. What about a cover up?

Then Xuanli shook his head again. How could it be that someone really wanted to take the imperial edict? It should not be Jiang Ruan alone, but Xiao Shao. Where can come so hastily, so blatant.

But what if that was her cover?

Xiao Shao and Xuan Pei had no communication. If Xiao Shao came, it might be the real confirmation that the imperial edict was in Jinying palace. In order to avoid this happening, Jiang Ruan hid the whereabouts of the imperial edict and made dangerous moves. He planned to come to the most dangerous place, which was the safest place. So what?

Xuanli's eyes were deep, and he was already in his own thoughts. But he didn't know that he had been led here by Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan knew that he was suspicious, and all the way he followed his weakness in character. When he let Jiang Ruan go, Xuan Lihui was so nervous that he caught Jiang Ruan. He was afraid that it would be a blow, but he would expose himself. Xuanli was so tangled that after thinking for a long time, he finally grasped his fist as if determined and said, "go and send a letter to Danzhen. Now she has a chance to catch Jiang Ruan in front of her. Don't expose yourself."

My subordinates are ordered to leave. Xuanli released his hand and stood with his negative hand, looking at the clouds outside the palace wall, slowly spilling a sneer. What if I can't do it easily? After all, there is a good sword in front of him. Dan Zhen has a deep hatred for Jiang Ruan. Qiman has been lurking in the capital for many years and is proficient in hiding. It's appropriate to use these two people's hands to kill people with a knife. Most of all, they will succeed.

Never underestimate a woman's jealousy.

……。

On the carriage back to the mansion, forsythia and dew sat on the right side of Jiang Ruan, while Tianzhu sat on the left side of Jiang Ruan. Today, forsythia and dewdrop also feel the unusual atmosphere. Although Jiang Ruan didn't say anything and had been with him for so long, he could still see a clue from Jiang Ruan's expression. Even Tianzhu was a little nervous now. Although dewdrop and forsythia didn't know what it was, they were also nervous.

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way. The carriage drove slowly. Dewdrop and forsythia began to feel at ease. When they were laughing in the carriage, they suddenly heard a loud sound coming from outside. The sound was getting closer and closer, and forsythia was surprised. The coachman sitting in front of them was a new recruit. Although he was calm, he was a bit flustered "Young lady, there are dead people in front of us!"

The carriage jolted suddenly, and the dew let out a cry. It lifted the curtain of the carriage to look out. Then it saw the crowd running around as if they were scattered by something. It looked like a mess, as if there was something terrible behind them. If you look closely again, it seems that there are some unusual people among the ordinary people. These people dress the same way as ordinary people, but they have a long knife in their hand. They chop when they see people. They are disorganized. When they catch a person, they chop it down. There was a lot of crying and howling outside. Many people had fallen on the ground, and the blood gradually accumulated. It looked shocking.

"No, young lady," dewdrop said in horror, "outsiders have assassins. They hold knives and chop people at random."

The crowd fled in all directions, and the blade of the sword went into the flesh, mixed with the scream, which made people tremble. But Jiang Ruan frowned. Tianzhu had drawn out her sword to protect him. At this time, she could not leave him. Forsythia said: "coachman, go to the side quickly, don't go there."

It was obviously irrational to get off the bus at this time. How many assassins mixed in the crowd did not know. How many people were stabbed in the throat without any defense. It's safer in the car, as long as it's far away from the crowd. Forsythia is a little annoyed. Why didn't she remind her to bring more bodyguards when she went out today. Today, there is only one Tianzhu. Rao is a Tianzhu with excellent martial arts skills, but also a little overwhelmed.

Just thinking about this, I suddenly felt the carriage tremble, a clear splash of blood color on the curtain in front of the carriage. The carriage seemed to be hit by some violent collision, and ran forward madly."Coachman! The coachman Forsythia while holding Jiang Ruan with her hand to prevent her from being hit by the ruts of the carriage, while struggling to shout. But there was no response for a long time, and then he pulled the curtain open, and suddenly his heart was cold. The coachman, with a machete in his chest, was lying half on his horse, apparently dead. There was also a small dagger on the horse's back. The horse felt pain and ran wildly, but it couldn't stop for a while. The crowd in front of him ran into the carriage from time to time. The carriage was knocked upside down and was still running desperately forward, as if it would fall down the next moment. It was rushed up by the crowd and trampled into a pile of mud.

Tianzhu was protecting Jiang Ruan, but the carriage seemed to suddenly hit something stiff. The horse hissed, and the whole carriage body swung forward, but the whole carriage was thrown out.

"Ah --" dew screamed. She was sitting outside the carriage. Jiang Ruan and Tianzhu Forsythia just fell dizzy. When they stopped, they heard the cry of dew. They quickly picked up the curtain of the car and looked out. They saw that dew had been thrown into the crowd. She was thrown too quickly and fell to the ground in confusion The crowd were screaming and fleeing, where they would look at their feet, one by one they stepped on the dew. As soon as Jiang Ruan's eyes were fixed, he saw that one of the men in coarse linen had quietly pulled out a knife from his waist and stabbed dew on her back -

"dew Forsythia also saw, suddenly lost his voice and called up. Dewdrop was stabbed on her back. She was so painful that she could hardly speak. The man wanted to do it again. Jiang Ruan immediately told Tianzhu, "Tianzhu, help dewdrop!"

"Young lady..." Tianzhu is hesitant. She and dewdrop are not without affection. For a long time, Dewdrop has been regarded as a friend. But the rule of the royal guards is to protect the master to the greatest extent. If you want to protect dewdrop, who will protect Jiang Ruan and forsythia who don't know martial arts?

"Go Jiang Ruan accentuated her tone. She saw the hesitation of Tianzhu and ordered coldly. After a meal, the master had no choice but to disobey. He immediately ran to the dew without hesitation. Dewdrop was watching the knife stabbing her chest, but she couldn't hide it anyway. When she was very frightened, she saw Tianzhu's sword blocking the dagger stabbing her chest. She stabbed the sword into the man's throat with her backhand, and the man fell down. Dewdrop looked at Tianzhu with a lingering fear. Regardless of the pain on her back, she bit her teeth and said, "go, little lady..."

Before he finished, he was stunned. In front of the broken carriage, forsythia half fell on the ground with a touch of blood. I didn't know whose it was, but look around, where is Jiang Ruan's shadow?

"No!" Tianzhu Road.
