The second, third and third chapters Zhang Qin makes a move
"Concubine Jian, don't rush to conclusions!" Shangfeng picked up the tea cup prepared by Jian Xiao and played with it. Jian Xiao kept staring at her. She really wished to take off the mask and drink water so that he could see her true face, but she was just playing.
"Didn't you pick up the queen's plum vase? If you have any news, you can tell it."
"No need!" Jian Xiao said with a smile, "I agree! But I will not hang your plum bottle on you. I am just a collaborator, just a relationship of mutual use. Don't think that I will become your vassal."
"Hahaha! Concubine Jian is indeed superior to others," Shang Feng said, "I just want to know what you can do with me?"
Jian Xiao looked at the mask, "Have I ever asked you what you will get from our cooperation?"
Shangfeng shook his head
"That's right! We are just cooperating. As for what we can get, we each get what we need," Jian Xiao said
"Concubine Jian is really happy, so we can agree on this matter. I'm afraid Concubine Jian will suffer some pain!" Shang Feng put down the teacup in his hand.
Jian Xiao raised the corner of her mouth, "What sufferings have I not suffered? If the person who killed Tuo Jinglie can be found out, it will be worth losing my life!"
After Shang Feng left, Jian Xiao picked up a brush and drew on the paper the mask she had seen in Yunyutang. It was absolutely true that it was this mask that killed Tuo Jinglie. But this person said he did not know about it, so,
The person who killed Tuo Jinglie was someone close to Shang Feng, but not Shang Feng himself. If you want to find out the truth, you must find out who else can get this mask and who else has what purpose.
To kill the one you love
"What! You want to cooperate with him?" Wei Zhu heard Jian Xiao tell him the news with his own ears. He simply didn't believe himself and suspected that he had heard wrongly.
Jian Xiao picked a relatively clean stone and sat on it, "Yes! This is the only way I can go now. Now that I have dragged down Fu Huan and your two guards, if this continues, someone will find out about you sooner or later...
…”
"You don't have to worry about me, they are not that capable!" Wei Zhu said arrogantly, "I didn't expect that the emperor would repay kindness with hatred like this. You helped protect his empire!"
Jian Xiao shook her head, "It's definitely not him. He wouldn't have done this to me. It must have been done by someone around him." Jian Xiao didn't believe that Zhang Qin would do this to her. He had always been the gentle man with a folding fan in his hand.
, the man who took him into the palace, the man who pampered himself
"Why do you want to defend him like this?" Wei Zhu burst out with a nameless fire, pressing closer to Jian Xiao, and asked sternly: "If he doesn't draft the imperial edict, who dares to draft it? If he doesn't issue the appointment and removal order, who dares to issue it?
?You don’t know what kind of life you’ve been living these days? Has he been to your place? Have you ever asked him to say hello?” A series of questions were like pebbles thrown into the lake of her heart. Although they had sunk without a trace, they still swayed.
Circles of ripples
"Huh..." Jian Xiao sighed and said helplessly: "If he really wants to do this to me, then I have to cooperate with Shang Feng."
"Can he protect you?" Wei Zhu squinted his eyes with disdain, "He will only use you and then kick you away."
"Then what do you think I should do?" Jian Xiao looked at Wei Zhu, "Now that I am surrounded by enemies from all sides, should I kill myself in Wujiang?"
Wei Zhu opened his mouth to say something, but he held it back, put away his sharpness, and said softly: "Hey, why did you agree to him without telling me? Didn't you say that we are in the same boat?"
Jian Xiao lowered his head and crossed his fingers, "I want to know who killed him!"
"He? Not Shangfeng?" Wei Zhu asked
"No! Someone is impersonating me. I want to know who it is and why they did it," Jian Xiao said firmly.
"You miss him so much?" Wei Zhu asked puzzledly, "He has been dead for such a long time!"
The corners of Jian Xiao's mouth curved into a nice curve, and she lowered her eyes. Her eyes were as tender as water, "Unless I die, I will never forget him. I am his! General Wei..."
Jian Xiao looked up at the expressionless Wei Zhu, "Can I ask you something more?"
"explain!"
"If you really want to do it, I'll do it. My sisters won't be able to escape. Wan Yun is pregnant at this time, and Min Lan is still with her. Please protect them. They are the only ones I care about in the palace."
"I will! But I also have requirements," Wei Zhu said
"any request?"
"No matter what you do, listen carefully, no matter how big or small, you must tell me. I am afraid that Shang Feng has plotted against you. If you cooperate with him now, you are making a deal with King Yama. If you are not careful, you will die." Wei
Zhu said seriously, "You can trust me! I will never hurt you!"
Jian Xiao nodded and took a deep breath. Although it was cool in the cave, it always made you feel out of breath. She nodded gently and adjusted her breathing.
Wei Zhu noticed something strange about Jian Xiao, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Jian Xiao shook her head, "It's okay! I should go back." After saying that, Wei Zhu left alone and hurriedly left.
As soon as I walked out of the rockery, I saw Yueyue running over in a hurry, "Mother, you scared me to death, where are you going?"
"What's wrong? In such a hurry, how can I still lose my life?" Jian Xiao joked
"Oh, His Majesty suddenly came to Xiaoxiang Tower. I jumped out of the backyard in a hurry," Yueyue said. "Otherwise, if you asked me where my mother-in-law went, wouldn't I be in trouble?"
Jian Xiao nodded, "I ran the right way this time."
She pulled Yueyue towards Xiaoxiang Tower, thinking about what happened and asked Zhang Qin to come here in person.
"Long live your Majesty! I didn't know that your Majesty was coming, so I kept him waiting for a long time!" Jian Xiao walked in and saluted Zhang Qin.
Zhang Qin looked at Jian Xiao, whom he hadn't seen for several days, with a haggard expression, as if he hadn't had a good rest. Zhang Qin's originally determined heart was slightly shaken. He lowered his head and said, "You are quite leisurely and relaxed. And
Went to the garden?"
When Jian Xiao heard this, she was not like what Zhang Qin usually said to her, "The imperial doctor said that the summer is getting warmer, so it's good to move around more often."
"Which imperial doctor said that?" Zhang Qin asked.
"Du..." Jian Xiao was about to say, but suddenly she remembered the memorial that was printed for her. Du Zhong's name was not written on it yet, so she had better not expose it. "Mr. Liu!" Jian Xiao said.
Zhang Qin didn't ask further, "Fu Huan, the person you recommended to me last time, was relieved of all other duties and allowed him to take care of Min Tong and Min Hua's studies."
Jian Xiao thought to himself that Shang Feng's method was really clever, and he said he could keep Fu Huan alive, and sure enough!
"Your Majesty, it's better for me to leave my concubines alone when it comes to government affairs. Now I can feel comfortable playing the piano and writing. Your Majesty is wise, and you can't do anything wrong when it comes to government affairs." Jian Xiao put all this aside.
"Jian Xiao, you are a smart person, you naturally know what to say to me," Zhang Qin still said coldly.
Jian Xiao didn't say anything, knowing that whatever he said at this time was in vain. Zhang Qin looked at Jian Xiao and said, "Jian Xiao, I want to ask you something!"
