Seeing Jiang Lin speaking so sternly, Shen Cang knew that he had made a mistake, so he quickly changed his words and said, "My subordinate made a mistake. My subordinate, Shen Cang, would like to send my regards to Jiang Xiaoyi."
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really easy to use, download it here www. Come and give it a try.]
After saying that, he bowed to Jiang Xianyue.
He knew that Jiang Lin had no ill intentions. After all, Jiang Xiuyue was no longer a girl from the Yi'an family. Even though they were cousins, how could Jiang Xiuyue be with Shen Cang when she was now in the Heavenly Family? So close?
Jiang Xiuyue silently clenched her fingers hidden under her sleeves, took a deep look at Shen Cang, and said, "It's okay, just get up."
After entering the palace, everyone called her Jiang Xiaoyi, but no one called her by name again. Now Shen Cang's call of cousin Xiang Yue suddenly reminded Jiang Xiu Yue of the days before she entered the palace.
But it was a big dream after all.
There is no going back.
Jiang Xianyue wanted to exchange a few words with Shen Cang, but there were others around her. In addition, she was now Ming Jin's woman. If she was too close to others, gossip would inevitably spread.
Even a few idle words can be enough to cause a person to die.
Therefore, although Jiang Xiuyue had a lot of thoughts in her heart, her face was still very cold. She only glanced at Shen Cang and said coldly: "You all should step aside."
Shen Cang was surprised by Jiang Xianyue's change, but he also knew that now was not the time to reminisce about the past, so he had no choice but to say: "Yes, I will resign."
Seeing Shen Cang leaving, Jiang Xianyue sighed deeply. Looking at Shen Cang's leaving figure, she suddenly remembered all the carefree things that happened when she was a child at home. But now she is behind bars and can no longer Can't break free.
On the side, Fang'er saw Jiang Xiuyue looking at Shen Cang's back in concentration, so she lowered her head slightly and remembered this scene in her heart.
…
Fang'er told Minbin what she saw.
After hearing this, Min Bin had a sneer on her face. She looked at the setting sun outside the window and her face seemed to gradually darken. She said: "What a Jiang Xianyue, she actually has an affair with a palace guard!"
Fang'er was startled and said hurriedly: "Jiang Xiaoyi does not have an affair with the guard. I heard that the guard's name is Shen Cang, and he and Jiang Xiaoyi are cousins, so that's why."
The expression on Concubine Min's face was gloomy: "Cousin?"
Fang'er nodded: "Yes."
Min Bin raised her head and looked at the sky outside the window. Her mind seemed to be back to that day when the storm was about to come, so she secretly clenched her fingers.
In the palace, she was a seemingly invisible person.
Ming Jin would not think of her easily, and he would only read her name occasionally in a few months. When Ming Jin faced Min Bin, he was always as calm as water, but even so, Min Bin Still looking forward to Ming Jin coming, even if it's just to spend a moment with her.
That day, Ming Jin finally flipped her sign.
She stood in front of the palace with joy, waiting for Ming Jin's arrival with all the maids.
But when the sky was getting dark, the snowflakes were falling, and the whole palace was covered with silver. Min Bin still didn't wait. The maids around her persuaded Min Bin to go back to the palace and wait, but Min Bin was obsessed with waiting there. In front of the palace gate.
But the longer I wait, the colder my heart becomes.
The palace maid next to her told Concubine Min that Ming Jin should be staying in Caiyue Hall tonight and would not come.
But Minbin was unwilling to give in. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Why are you in Caiyue Palace? Caiyue Palace is clearly uninhabited!"
If Mingjin went to the palace of the Queen or Concubine Rou, Minbin might be relieved. After all, she had thought that she was insignificant and could not be compared with the two empresses. But now why would Mingjin prefer to stay in the same place?
Why don't you want to be with her in an uninhabited palace?
impossible……
The maid next to her looked at Concubine Min cautiously and said: "I heard that... the emperor has fallen in love with a maid in the Caiyue Palace. She won't be here tonight. Your Majesty, it's better to go back and rest early. Feng Datian."
It's cold, my Majesty, be careful if you catch a cold. If you get sick, the Emperor won't look at your Majesty's name."
Min Bin didn't want to go back, but the words "I don't know how to turn over brands" touched Min Bin's heart. She quickly tightened her sleeves to prevent the cold wind from pouring into her collar. But even so, her heart became colder and colder.
.
Min Bin's voice seemed to contain the fine ice floes on the river: "Is the Emperor really not coming tonight?"
The palace maid looked a little embarrassed, but she still nodded and said: "Yes, my queen, please go back and rest quickly, the emperor will not come tonight."
The original joy was extinguished in an instant.
At dawn the next day, Ming Jin seemed to have finally remembered Min Bin and ordered the guards to send something to Min Bin. However, Min Bin could not help but feel chilled when she looked at the beautiful things sent by the guards.
Thinking of this, Min Bin pinched her fingers deeply into her palms.
She must let Jiang Xianyue die.
…
In the early morning of the next day, there were already an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going on the street. Li Jiancheng and Huayi were strolling on the street.
"Hey, is Brother Jiancheng back?"
At the porridge shop on the street, a young man called Li Jiancheng.
The young man was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He looked upright and had a friendly and gentle smile on his face. He was clearing the dishes on the table.
Li Jiancheng stopped and looked at him with a clear smile: "Long time no see."
"Yes." The young man laughed heartily and pulled Li Jiancheng to sit down in the shop, "But I haven't seen Brother Jiancheng for more than half a month, so why not just have breakfast here before leaving."
Li Jiancheng did not refuse and sat down in the shop generously. The young man quickly brought a bowl of porridge over and sat down opposite Li Jiancheng.
"Brother Jiancheng, let me tell you a strange thing."
"you say."
"About half an hour ago, when my mother and I were preparing to open the shop, a madman rushed in." The young man said curiously, "As soon as the madman came in, he rushed into my shop and broke the bowls in my shop.
We met several people, and they kept shouting that there was a ghost, and they shouted that they saw a ghost on Yanshan Mountain."
Half an hour ago, Yanshan encountered a ghost...?
Huayi curled up lazily and couldn't help but think of the coachman he met at night. Come to think of it, the madman he mentioned was most likely that coachman.
Li Jiancheng took a sip of porridge and said calmly: "Maybe he was frightened by the wild beasts in the mountains."
"I told him the same thing, but he insisted that he saw a ghost. No, he went directly to the Yamen now and said he wanted to tell the magistrate." The young man laughed, "There is no ghost in this clear sky.
Well, Brother Jiancheng, do you think so?"
Hearing this, Huayi couldn't help but want to laugh. Under the blue sky and white sun, not only were there ghosts, but they were also very close in front of her eyes.
Li Jiancheng also laughed: "This is natural."
As they were talking and laughing, they saw a government servant not far away pushing the man out.
"Go, go, what are you talking about? Stop bluffing here!" A government servant pushed him impatiently, "How can the magistrate have time to talk to you about such nonsense?"
"Yeah, so what if there is a ghost? If you don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!" Someone on the side agreed.
That man was the coachman on Yanshan Mountain last night.
"There really is a ghost!" He was sweating profusely and raised his hand, pointing in the direction of Yanshan, and said, "I can see clearly that the ghost crawled out of the Yanshan Cemetery, and its fingernails were several inches long.
My hands are covered with blood..."
Adding fuel and vinegar like this.
Huayi couldn't help but smile.
He spoke vividly and vividly, attracting passers-by.
Suddenly a woman timidly said: "I have seen ghosts before."
"Stop talking nonsense!" someone interrupted.
"Really!" The woman seemed to be in shock. "Just a few days ago, when Juan'er and I were washing clothes by the river, we saw a headless ghost in the water. His body was already swollen. I didn't dare to take a closer look.
, ran back in a hurry."
Juan'er on the side also said: "Yes, I saw it too."
"really?"
When one person says this, others just think it is a joke, but when two people talk about it, some people inevitably start to become suspicious.
"Is there really a ghost in Yancheng City?"
"Okay, okay, what nonsense are you talking about? Even if there is really a ghost, we don't dare to come out in broad daylight, so we all dispersed." The Yamen servant waved his hand and let everyone disperse.
Everyone then dispersed.
The driver turned his head and suddenly saw Li Jiancheng.
His pupils suddenly shrank and he subconsciously took a step back.
Li Jiancheng's face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. If the early morning sunlight hadn't fallen on his face, he would have been regarded as a ghost.
Although, he is.
Li Jiancheng just looked at him calmly, with a shallow and gentle smile on his face.
The coachman's eyes passed over Li Jiancheng's hands and finally settled on Li Jiancheng's face, but he still couldn't see anything.
"I don't believe there are ghosts in this world." The young man smiled and said to Li Jiancheng, "Most of them are rumors, just to scare myself."
Li Jiancheng also nodded: "Not bad."
The coachman walked into the porridge shop and was sitting at the table opposite Li Jiancheng.
He swallowed a little and said to the young man: "Bring me a bowl of porridge."
The young man stood up and couldn't help complaining: "I still need porridge. I broke our bowl just now."
Even so, he still scooped some porridge for him.
The coachman said slightly: "I'm sorry, I was really scared before. I will compensate you."
"Forget it, it's just a few bowls, not worth much." The young man waved his hand. As other guests came, he went to entertain them.
The driver lowered his head to drink the porridge, and suddenly saw the flowered clothes beside Li Jiancheng, so he asked: "Is this little flower snake... raised by you?"
Li Jiancheng smiled: "Yes, I met him by chance before, so I kept him by my side."
"It seems familiar to me." The coachman stared at Huayi, "I seem to have seen him somewhere."
The driver's gaze was so menacing that Huayi felt a little uncomfortable, so she huddled behind Li Jiancheng and disappeared.
"There are so many little flower snakes in the world, I must have seen them somewhere." Li Jiancheng said casually, "I heard that there are many snakes on Yanshan Mountain. Since you came from Yanshan, it is not surprising that the flower snakes look familiar.
"
The coachman asked again: "How long have you kept this flower snake?"
"Twenty years."
The coachman couldn't help but be startled: "You look like you are only in your twenties. Have you raised this flower snake beside you since you were a child?"
In response, Li Jiancheng just smiled noncommittally.
There was a moment of silence.
Li Jiancheng drank the porridge, stood up and looked at the young man, saying, "Wei Jia, I'm leaving first."
Young Wei Jia was clearing the table and nodded when he heard this: "Okay, brother Jiancheng, please go slowly and come here often when you are free."
Not far after walking out of the porridge shop, I heard a sound coming from the shop.
