Chapter 535： The envoy was killed

Chapter 535 The envoy was killed

After Chu Nanzhi finished speaking, the embarrassment on Tang Ru and Lin Jinqian's faces eased a lot.

But Ji Wanying was afraid that she and Princess Qian would not be able to quarrel, so she looked at the children in front of her earnestly, and pretended to be unfair and said: "How can my cousin say that about my nephews and nieces? They are cousins ​​after all. It must be extraordinary for my sister-in-law's flesh and blood to be valued by my uncle and Mr. Nie."

Deliberately looking at Lin Jinqian with a gloomy face, Ji Wanying couldn't help but smiled sullenly: "Who is my uncle, who is not the best among the students he recruited, first the prince, sister Shu, and then my cousin, They all came from my uncle's family."

If there was no previous request from Princess Qian, Chang Yanjue would naturally listen to his niece's words as a compliment.

But at this moment, there was no joy on his face.

This niece repeatedly instigated the relationship between the several families, but he couldn't understand the little girl's mind even more.

Brows were as frosty, and she glanced at her coldly, Chang Yanjue said displeased: "The princess is joking, it's all your brother and sister's own good fortune, the old man and old Nie dare not take the credit."

Erbao Lin Ruixi heard that the princess had no good intentions, so she pouted and sneered coldly: "My aunt is right, we are just wild children in the countryside, and we don't need the princess' aunt's praise."

"Lin Ruixi, don't be rude."

Chu Nanzhi scolded, and then told Shen Yunqing: "Yunqing, take your younger brothers and sisters back to the study."

Shen Yunqing was already terrified the first time he saw so many distinguished people, but when he saw a face with ulterior motives, he became even more terrified. After obediently bowing to everyone, he led the little ones to the study.

Chu Nanzhi didn't expect Lin Jinqian to appear suddenly, and wanted her son to study in the house, which she couldn't decide.

Since Ji Wanying intends to stir up trouble, let her make trouble.

Princess Qian didn't like her anyway, it just made her feel more jealous.

Even Chang Lao doesn't care about these, so what should I be afraid of.

Pretending that nothing happened, he greeted everyone to have tea. Lin Jinqian had nowhere to vent his anger. Thinking that today was the feast for Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao, he provocatively said:

"My palace has already received news that the imperial edict is on the way. I guess it will be able to arrive at Luyan Port today. The little princess of my family has been pampered since she was a child. When she enters the palace, she will have to work hard. Wangfei should be more tolerant, don't treat her harshly."

"Princess, worry too much. I have never been a tricky and vicious master. I have never treated the servants of the house harshly. As long as these servants behave in a proper manner, I will leave them with dignity."

Chu Nanzhi replied very calmly.

But these words made the two teachers and concubine Yue nearly laugh out loud.

Ji Huazhen glanced at this stinky girl dumbfounded, she really treated Princess Yuanxi as a slave.

It's just that she couldn't find anything wrong with what she said, so she could only echo it:

"There are rules in the palace, and the palace also has rules in the palace. No matter how honorable Princess Yuanxi is, if she enters the palace, she is a member of the palace. Nan Zhi has a tolerant attitude, but she is the master of the palace. , there is no need for a little kindness to control so many servants, but Princess Qian, the brother-in-law, should tell the princess more, don't think that the marriage is bestowed by the court, and she can do whatever she wants when she arrives at the palace."

"you."

Lin Jinqian was so angry that his blood surged up, and Tang Ru immediately stopped him when he was about to say something: "Mrs. Ji reminded that Sister She is indeed a bit arrogant. If she breaks the rules when she arrives at the palace, Princess Pingning doesn't need to be shy. The control is the control."

"With the words of the great governor, I feel relieved."

Chu Nanzhi laughed.

Ye just finished speaking, and saw the figure of Captain Chen Chuan appearing outside the door. He seemed to be in a state of desperation, and there was nothing good about it.

She strode past, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, Captain Chen?"

"Princess, the old grandpa Chu and brother Shu Yang were not at home these two days, someone took the opportunity to slip into the yard and poisoned the fish raised by the princess in the pond."

Chen Chuan frowned tightly, seeing Chu Nanzhi's gradually gloomy face, full of self-blame, hurriedly apologized: "It's all due to the incompetence of the last general, who failed to take care of the fish pond, the last general"

"It's not a big deal, it's just a loss of a few hundred taels of silver, and it will be made up later."

Chu Nanzhi interrupted him immediately, and said in relief: "You don't need to blame yourself for such a trivial matter."

Although she was extremely resentful in her heart, it was obvious that someone wanted to disgust herself, so she would not fall into other people's tricks.

"Go."

Chu Nanzhi gently waved at Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan was about to turn around when he heard noisy quarrels in the yard.

Chu Nanzhi's forehead trembled, and the two looked at each other and walked quickly towards the place where the sound came from.

When they arrived at the entrance of the living room, they saw a group of people discussing loudly around Lin Jinxiao: "What should I do? The assassination of an imperial envoy is a serious crime of extermination. I don't know who has the courage to do such a big crime." The opposite."

Chu Nanzhi sized up Lin Jinxiao who was sitting upright, and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Li Sanmu was the first person to discover this outside the city, and said at a loss: "Someone intercepted and killed the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to announce the decree outside the city."

Lin Jinxiao was even more disturbed, and showed her the few imperial edicts in his hand: "The messenger who came to deliver the edict of commendation to his mother-in-law and the officials was all right, but the imperial envoy who came ahead of them to deliver the edict of marriage was killed. murdered."

"The envoy who gave the marriage edict was murdered?"

Chu Nanzhi suddenly felt bad.

What is the plan for intercepting and killing the envoys for no reason?

It is just a paper edict for bestowing marriage, it is not a confidential matter, if you want to intercept it, you should also intercept the edict that officials commend.

After thinking about it, she immediately realized that someone might want to use this to express her dissatisfaction with the marriage.

From the obvious point of view, the most dissatisfied people are naturally Liu and Chu.

Obviously, this matter came for me again.

Sure enough, she had just come to a conclusion when the Shushu heard about the incident in the courtyard, and all of them rushed out in a hurry.

Seeing the several edicts in Lin Jinxiao's hand, and thinking that only the marriage edict was snatched away, Lin Jinqian pointed the finger at Chu Nanzhi without hesitation: "It's you, it must be you, it must be you who don't want Yuan Xi Married into the palace, so I sent someone to intercept and kill the envoys, and took away the imperial edict."

"The princess really has a good case. She will pour dirty water on me without evidence."

Chu Nanzhi shook her head helplessly: "It's not a secret that Princess Yuanxi married into the palace. If I really want to stop it, I should ask His Majesty face-to-face before entering the capital. Why bother to assassinate a servant who passed the imperial edict? The imperial edict is gone." One more thing to add is that anyone with a discerning eye understands this truth.”

Undoubtedly, this matter was either done by an undeveloped child, or someone with ulterior motives wanted to provoke the relationship between Lin Jinxiao and the Tang family.
