After being scolded by Chang Lao Nie Lao and seeing Chu Nanzhi, Ji Rongheng thought that she would also give him a scolding to vent her resentment, but what surprised him was that this woman didn't even say a word of reproach.
nor.
Her attitude made Ji Rongheng feel even more uneasy about his conscience.
"Please rest assured, Princess, I dare to guarantee with my life that this kind of thing will never happen again."
Ji Rongheng promised swornly.
"After all, it's okay if I get used to this kind of thing."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him with a faint smile, and sighed meaningfully: "The Governor should be more careful, it's very cold at high places."
"What does the princess mean by this?"
Ji Rongheng asked without knowing why.
Seeing his eager eyes, Chu Nanzhi ignored him and led the babies slowly back to the house.
Nowadays, there are people who want to harm themselves, and I am afraid there are also people who want to kill this upright governor.
After all, Lin Yanjing's desire to detain her was what King Qinghe wanted, but Ji Rongheng's thoughts were difficult for them to figure out.
If you want to maintain the current situation, the best way is to get rid of him.
But there was only so much she could instruct.
Seeing her lukewarm attitude towards him, Ji Rongheng knew that she was jealous of him for luring her family to the state capital and failing to fulfill her promise to send them away. He did not dare to blame him, so he left the inn and went there gloomily.
Governor's Mansion.
Along the way, he was carefully savoring Chu Nanzhi's words. When he arrived at the Governor's Mansion, he suddenly realized: "Could it be that the eldest princess also wants to take action against the governor?"
As soon as the idea came up, he immediately denied it.
It should be impossible. After all, he was leading the Langzhou cavalry. If he died in Langzhou, the state capital would be the first to fall into chaos before King Pingning entered the city.
Putting aside his worries, he went straight into the Governor's Mansion.
At this time, Lin Yanjing had just received a letter from Princess Yan Jun. When she learned that the Governor had entered the mansion, she quickly put away the letter and went out to greet her with a smile.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he met Ji Rongheng, this guy put on a disgusting face: "Why did the eldest princess arrange for a killer to assassinate Princess Pingning?"
Lin Yanjing had just learned about what happened in the post house, but she didn't know why he would doubt her. She sneered and replied, "Do you think it was my princess who did it?"
"If it hadn't been for the eldest princess, who would have dared to do such a bold thing in Langzhou?"
Ji Rongheng asked again aggressively.
"The Governor is really confused. If this princess wants to harm Princess Pingning, why should she be brought to the state capital?"
Lin Yanjing shook her head helplessly: "Aren't you causing trouble for yourself?"
She also guessed that he was resentful because of the cold treatment of the mother and son, and said quickly: "The prince-in-law has been feeling unwell recently, and I, the princess, have been very busy all day long, and have no intention of receiving Princess Pingning and her entourage. I just have some time today, and I am already free."
While we were preparing a grand banquet to entertain the mother and son, we never thought that the Grand Governor would come to the house to investigate."
"The eldest princess really thinks so?"
Ji Rongheng felt happy and asked with a smile on his face.
"Of course."
Lin Yanjing led him into the living room and took a seat in a leisurely manner. She smiled slowly and said: "The Governor does not need to question this princess. Although I have temporarily left Princess Pingning in the state capital, it is also for the sake of dozens of people throughout the state.
For the sake of the army and the people, as the governor of Langzhou, you should understand the painstaking efforts of this princess."
"The eldest princess cares about the people and is happy to be promoted to an official position. But now that your majesty is in trouble, we should not prevent King Pingning from going north. Wouldn't this mean that he will be infamy?"
Ji Rongheng saw that her attitude was indeed much kinder today, and began to persuade her earnestly.
"How could I not know this?"
Lin Yanjing suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and explained with a smile: "At the moment, the matter of Princess Yuanxi has not been investigated. When the truth comes out, I will personally explain the reason to King Pingning."
"In this way, I can feel relieved when I am a low-ranking official."
Ji Rongheng finally felt relieved, stood up and clasped his fists: "Then I will not disturb the eldest princess."
"Grand Governor, walk slowly."
Lin Yanjing watched Ji Rongheng leave, then called Pei Jian, and immediately gave instructions: "Tomorrow the Japanese princess will entertain Princess Pingning. Before that, do I want to give her a big gift?"
Pei Jian's eyes paused and he stared at her blankly.
"Pei Jian, you are responsible for a big event for me."
Lin Yanjing's eyes gradually turned sharp: "Send someone to get rid of Ji Rongheng tonight. I want to give his head to Princess Pingning."
"Get rid of the Grand Governor?"
Pei Jian was so frightened that he was dumbfounded: "Princess, the Commander-in-Chief comes from the famous Ji family. Although he has only been in Langzhou for a few months, he has already won the support of the army officers and soldiers. If something happens to him at this juncture, he will definitely arouse suspicion."
"What are you afraid of?"
Lin Yanjing showed a sinister smile: "If this princess's guess is correct, the person who assassinated last night must have been sent by King Qinghe. Now the person who least wants to see Ji Rongheng stay in Langzhou besides me is probably him. Anyway, he is the one who least wants to see Ji Rongheng stay in Langzhou."
He is not even afraid of the charge of rebellion, so how can he worry about the additional charge of assassinating the governor of Langzhou."
After finishing his words, he quickly urged: "Hurry up and get ready. After tomorrow, I will let the world know who is the smartest and most prestigious woman in the world."
Pei Jian had already seen that the eldest princess's heart was no longer with the royal family in the capital. What she wanted was definitely not to dominate the court like the Empress Dowager, but to become a queen that people admired.
Since his elder brother fell ill, the prosperity and decline of the Pei family can only be pinned on this ambitious eldest princess.
Pei Jian gritted his teeth and replied firmly: "Please rest assured, eldest princess, the general will definitely help the princess achieve her great ambitions."
After saying that, he walked away with his heart surging.
In the hotel, Chu Nanzhi was sitting in the courtyard slowly sipping tea.
Just now, she had received an urgent report from Lin Jinxiao. She learned that Xie Jingchen had returned to Shita City safely and that the Baiyu army was gradually withdrawing from the border.
Lin Jinxiao also asked Zhang Yu to lead the navy northward, while he himself led eight thousand light cavalry to Langzhou secretly.
Thinking that it wouldn't be long before she could see him again after a long separation and return the little treasures to him safe and sound, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but feel excited in her heart.
Just when she was filled with joy, news suddenly came from the Governor's Mansion that Princess Yan Jing was hosting a banquet tomorrow and invited everyone to come to the mansion for a party.
Chu Nanzhi glanced at Sang Qi silently, thought for a moment in her heart, and suddenly told her: "Sang Qi, you don't have to stay with me these days. You can secretly hide in the Captain's Mansion and protect Governor Ji."
.”
How could Sang Qi dare to rest assured and said suspiciously: "Master, if this slave is not with you?"
Before she spoke, Chu Nanzhi quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me. After what happened last night, the Langzhou Army will definitely not take it lightly again."
On the contrary, it was Ji Rongheng's safety that made her feel uneasy.
Langzhou is heavily guarded. Since the assassins can swarm into the city to attack him, they can naturally find the opportunity to attack Ji Rongheng.
Regardless of whether these assassins were related to Lin Yanjing or not, as long as Ji Rongheng was saved, she firmly believed that she could capture Langzhou.
He had to make sure that Lin Jinxiao's stubborn donkey was fine before he entered Langzhou.
