Canglang looked at his own governor who was full of indulgence and teasing like a child, and couldn't help but look at him twice more out of curiosity. Then he received a cold look in his eyes.
After following Jinyun's lead and leaving, Canglang could still see Xiao Yan leaning against a table and mumbling to herself when he turned his head, while Song Tangning responded with a few words from time to time. During the occasional breaks, Xiao Yan would pick up chopsticks and serve her more food.
It's a question and answer thing. If you can't hear what is said, you can still feel it's pretty good. But if you can hear clearly what your own governor says, I'm afraid your jaw will drop.
Canglang bumped into Jinyun and asked, "Master, do you want to raise a man-eating plant?"
Look at what is being taught.
Digging a hole and setting a trap will only lead to failure.
Cang Lang could almost see the originally pure white crabapple blossoms being dyed black, and couldn't help but mutter, "The Governor is cunning enough himself, and he even went to great lengths to raise a little fox. If this girl learns all of this, the Governor won't be afraid of not being able to subdue her."
Jinyun glanced at him and said, "You can speak louder."
Canglang quickly shrank his head and shut up.
Jinyun looked back at the room and said calmly, "The governor never intended to keep the girl as a vassal, and the girl is not someone who is confined to the backyard. Since she wants to go out and explore, she must learn how to protect herself."
A treasure that is too simple, if no one takes good care of it, will be reduced to ashes when it falls into the hands of others.
Canglang rolled his eyes: "You are the only one who knows how to flatter."
Not only did he take pictures of his master, but even his future mistress was one step ahead of him.
Jinyun was too lazy to pay attention to his mumblings. He only glanced at the night outside and lowered his voice: "The situation with the Empress Dowager is very bad. Lu Zhao has been imprisoned. I'm afraid the governor will speed up the action. We checked the situation with Prince Cheng and the noble family before, and there are some unclear points. If the governor and the girl take action tonight, it will be a big move. Be alert."
"You tell me."
Canglang curled his lips upon hearing this, touched the white phosphorus jade sword hanging on his waist, took it off and held it in his arms in a somewhat showy manner, stroking the sword gently: "My sword has long wanted to be stained with blood."
"…"
The serious atmosphere just now collapsed in an instant, and the veins on Jinyun's forehead popped.
Oh shit.
Sick in the brain!!
"Hey, where are you going?" Seeing Jinyun turn around and leave, Canglang asked hurriedly.
Jinyun had a blank expression on his face. He had to stay away from him, otherwise he was afraid he would not be able to help but beat him to death!
…
At Prince Cheng's mansion, after Ayane passed the news back, she stayed in the corridor outside the door to guard Princess Cheng.
Princess Chen was unable to calm down because of the sudden "truth". She finally got a short rest but was awakened by a nightmare.
Seeing Nanny Jiang rushing forward, supporting the uncomfortable Princess Cheng and asking questions with concern, she also hurriedly poured water for her and helped someone to help her calm down.
Ayane tilted her head slightly and kept her eyes fixed on Nanny Jiang, as if she wanted to see through her. She didn't look up until someone came over in the yard.
That person was the secret guard from the Governor's Mansion who came with her.
"The master has sent a message."
The girl dressed as a maid stood beside Ayane and whispered a few words. Ayane raised her eyebrows and said, "Alerting the enemy?"
"The governor said that we can make a bigger noise."
Hearing this, Ayane glanced towards the inner room and whispered, "Got it."
After the maid stepped aside, Ayane walked straight into the house. When she arrived in front of Princess Cheng and the other two, she lowered her voice and said, "Princess, the young lady and the governor sent a message saying that they found out something."
Princess Cheng was about to send Nanny Jiang out when she heard Lingyin say:
"The people sent by the governor found another family that was engaged to Prince Cheng. They were the family that eloped with the actor and then hanged herself to death. They learned from the brother of the lady that the lady did not hang herself, but was murdered by someone..."
Clang——
Before Princess Cheng had time to react, there was a loud noise beside her. It turned out that Nanny Jiang, who was putting things away, kicked the leg of the table, and the cup in her hand fell onto the table.
The two people in the room looked over, and Nanny Jiang hurriedly explained: "This old slave was frightened."
When she stood up by supporting herself on the table, her hands were shaking a little, and her knuckles turned pale from the effort. She pretended to put the cups on the table in order, and when she looked up, her expression had calmed down a little, but there was still some shock on it.
"Master Xiao, have they really investigated thoroughly? Could something that has been going on for so long be wrong?"
"As long as it's been done, there will be traces left no matter how long it's been."
Ling Yin seemed not to notice that Nanny Jiang's face suddenly turned pale because of these words, and she just continued: "The third family that discussed marriage with Prince Cheng was the Wei Yuchi family of the Sikong Mansion at that time."
"The elder brother of the Yuchi family said that when they found his sister, she had already died by hanging from the beam, but the actor was still alive and was rescued. He told the story of the two of them committing suicide for love and then he hit his head against the pillar and died. Prince Cheng was there at the time, and the fact that the Yuchi girl eloped with someone was confirmed."
"But the people of the Yuchi family said that the girl had known Prince Cheng when she was still a girl, and before the two families wanted to discuss the marriage, the Yuchi family also asked the girl's opinion first. She agreed in person and also expressed her affection for Prince Cheng. Only then did the Yuchi family agree to the marriage and signaled Prince Cheng to come and propose marriage."
How could a girl who had personally agreed to the marriage and was in love with her future husband elope with an actor before getting engaged and commit suicide for love?
Princess Cheng naturally understood what Ayane meant. Her face turned pale and she staggered and fell into a chair.
Ayane quickly supported her: "Princess!"
Princess Cheng said in a hoarse voice: "What else?"
Ayane hesitated.
"You said I can handle it." Princess Cheng looked at her.
Ayane then spoke: "Your acquaintance with King Chen was not accidental. That chance encounter was planned. He had already investigated you privately. Later, the heroic rescue was not a coincidence. He knew that something would happen to you."
"As for the matter between you and Mr. Gu, I'm afraid someone is interfering..."
Ayane said only one sentence and saw from the corner of her eye that Nanny Jiang's eyes were in panic. She had something in mind and said no more. Princess Cheng's face became even paler. Fearing that Princess Cheng would get really hurt in her anger, she quickly avoided Nanny Jiang while supporting her and pinched Princess Cheng's sleeve. The pinch was so big that Princess Cheng couldn't help but feel it.
"Princess, Princess, are you okay? What happened to you? Please don't scare me..."
Princess Chen looked up with red eyes, and saw Ayane blocking the people behind her. She looked very calm as she pinched her wrist and said something to her silently.
"Fainted."
Princess Chen was stunned for only a moment, then she reacted, closed her eyes and fell directly into Ayane's arms.
"princess!"
Lingyin seemed to be panicking, and Nanny Jiang standing behind her also had a changed expression: "Princess!!"
