"Are you looking for me?" Before Yunzhu could answer, Jiang Nianjiao, who had been hiding behind the flower bed, suddenly stood up.
When Yunzhu saw Jiang Nianjiao, her face turned pale, "You...why are you here?"
Jiang Niangjiao looked at the casual worker in front of her coldly and said, "Are you surprised? I've been here since yesterday."
Yunzhu looked even more frightened when he heard this.
When the guard in black saw Jiang Nianjiao, his eyes showed extreme excitement.
He flew forward in the direction of Jiang Nianjiao, and then formed claws with his five fingers, just to catch Jiang Nianjiao.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, two guards in black, also wearing fang masks, were flying forward above the eaves of Nanyuan.
They separated the guards in black from attacking Jiang Nianjiao, and then the three men in the courtyard started fighting.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yun Zhu prepared to sneak away while the black-clothed guard attracted all the firepower.
Unexpectedly, she just touched the door of Nanyuan. When she opened the door, she saw the eldest prince Zhao Nianze guarding the door with his guards.
Zhao Nianze's expression was extremely condensed. If his eyes could turn into knives, Yunzhu would probably be riddled with holes at this moment.
Yunzhu was so frightened at this time that she only stammered and called His Highness.
Unfortunately, Zhao Nianze was indifferent. He only told the guards two words, "Take it."
Yunzhu was then detained.
At the same time, a fierce battle was going on in the courtyard, and the guard in black was clearly outmatched. He already had multiple wounds on his body, and the mask on his face was split in half. He could only hold on to his sword and take a breath.
At this moment, the other two guards only cooperated and quickly captured the black-clothed guard.
After catching the person, the guard barely gave the person a chance to breathe. First, he pinched the person's lips open. After confirming that there was no poison hidden behind his teeth, he removed the hidden weapons from his body.
Only then did they escort the guards in black to Zhao Nianze.
Zhao Nianze asked coldly, "Which palace are you an errand in? How dare you collude with the palace officials of Yuxiu Palace to murder concubines."
The guard in black had a tough mouth. He only looked away from his resolute face that was almost cut in half by the sword and said nothing.
Zhao Nianze was not surprised either. He subconsciously wanted to get the waistband from the guard, but found that there was no waistband at all, and there was not even anything on him to prove his identity.
Zhao Nianze said coldly, "Do you think you can escape this disaster?"
The guard in black spoke this time. His eyes looked at Zhao Nianze unruly, "Kill or behead him, please do as he pleases."
"If I kill you, won't I be advantageous to the master behind you? Don't worry, you won't die before you reveal who your master is." Jiang Nianjiao took the initiative to walk up to the man and said.
Although the guard in black refused to reveal a word, he was not the only one who conspired in this matter. Another accomplice, Yunzhu, was obviously not so strong-willed.
Although when the matter was revealed, Yunzhu felt as if he had been struck by five thunders when he saw Jiang Nianjiao.
But now the strong desire to survive finally brought her back to her senses.
She is not an iron wall, let alone being lynched, even if she is thrown into Ye Ting for punishment, she cannot bear it.
Therefore, Yunzhu shouted loudly, "Please forgive me, Your Highness! I know everything! As long as Your Highness spares my life! I will do anything!"
Hearing Yunzhu's words, the guard in black just stared at Yunzhu, "Do you think you can survive if you do it?"
Jiang Nianjiao only said lightly, "If she is willing to recruit her, why can't she survive? After all, her current master is my aunt. If my aunt is willing to protect her, it only takes a word."
Jiang Nianjiao's words seemed to give Yunzhu reassurance.
Furthermore, I remembered that Concubine Yuxian had never been harsh to those under her.
It was because he was plotted by another maid Qiu Yan that he accidentally bumped into Concubine Xian, causing Concubine Xian to become seriously ill. Concubine Xian did not send her back to Ye Ting at that time, but no longer allowed her to serve her personally and only sent her to Concubine Xian. To do casual labor.
Thinking of this, Yunzhu didn't hesitate anymore. She just said loudly, "He is from Queen Min's palace! The Queen ordered us to do this! He also promised that if I can do this, I can enter Fengchen Palace has become Queen Min’s confidant!”
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she only looked at Zhao Nianze.
Obviously this answer did not surprise them at all.
Instead, the guard in black suddenly struggled vigorously and said angrily, "If you dare to say one more word! I will kill you."
I don't know if the black-clothed guard was too strong, or if the guard was lax.
It didn't take much effort for him to actually break free from the guard's control.
He was a little stunned when he broke away so easily.
Jiang Nianjiao seemed to be watching a show and reminded her coldly, "Aren't you going to kill her? Do it."
Yunzhu was so frightened when he heard this that he screamed, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!!! I'll do anything, you can't break your promise!"
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she sneered, "I said my aunt would protect you, but I never said I would protect you. Besides, I'm not the one who wants to kill you."
As Jiang Nianjiao finished speaking, Yunzhu was only controlled by two other palace guards. At the same time, another person covered Yunzhu's noisy mouth.
Seeing the guards in black approaching step by step, Yunzhu felt desperate like a lamb on the chopping board.
She could only shake her head at the guard in black, and tears fell from her eyes.
However, the guards in black did not attack Yunzhu. Instead, they stretched out their hands to attack the guards beside Yunzhu.
It's a pity that all the people in this courtyard belong to Zhao Nianze, and these guards are not vegetarians. The man was quickly pinned to the ground again.
"You were given the chance to kill her, why didn't you do it?" Jiang Nianjiao suppressed the evil thoughts in her heart and spoke coldly.
She did not look at Yunzhu, who was crying with tears and snot in his eyes for the rest of his life. Instead, she only looked down at the man in front of her with half of his face pressed into the dust.
"She has already tried everything. If I kill her again, it won't help! If you weren't protected, I would have killed you instead of the guard!"
Even if the man had his head pressed to the ground, he would not forget to glare fiercely at the woman in front of him who was clearly delicate and gentle, but was extremely vicious.
It was as if he was really unwilling at this moment, but had to accept his fate.
Jiang Nianjiao was not afraid of the sight of the person in front of her. She knelt down and said softly, "So this is really Queen Min's doing?"
The man didn't say anything, but in the eyes of others, it seemed like he acquiesced.
Jiang Nianjiao didn't say anything more. She just stood up again, not hiding her hatred and contempt for Yunzhu at all. "You're lucky. You, a fellow countryman, are very kind to you and won't do anything to you."
Then she turned around and told the guards on the side, "Yunzhu intends to murder Concubine Xian, so you can send her directly to Ye Ting."
In fact, if he were really sent back on this charge, Yunzhu would also die.
However, after Yunzhu was frightened just now, his whole body was like a pile of mud, and he couldn't say anything at this time.
The guard in black originally thought that the matter would be settled with Yunzhu's confession, and that he would be sent to trial.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Nianjiao had been observing his expression. When he breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Nianjiao only winked at the guard on the side. The guard was also smart. Taking the instructions from his eyes, they did not take the person out of Nanyuan.
After the attendant kicked the dilapidated inner room of Nanyuan away, the guard in black was also pushed into the inner room by the guard.
Suddenly the sunlight penetrated into the dark room, and the dust all over the sky spread its teeth and claws in the dim light, leaving nothing to hide.
It is said that Nanyuan was once the residence of a Zhaorong. Unfortunately, Zhaorong was banned here because his father and brother committed crimes and interceded for his father and brother. Later, Zhaorong committed suicide in Nanyuan because he failed to save his father and brother. Here It has been deserted for a long time, and no new people have moved in.
Unexpectedly, there seems to be a weak figure hiding in this originally deserted inner room today.
But she was hiding in a dark corner, and others couldn't see her face clearly.
She seemed to have been tied up, with something gagged in her mouth, and she could only make whining sounds.
However, when the guard in black heard the whimpering sound, his eyes widened.
"Do you think she's a bit familiar?" Jiang Nianjiao suddenly asked.
The guard in black ignored Jiang Nianjiao's question. He only stared at the woman who was hidden in the corner.
As the woman was dragged out by a guard, his veins suddenly popped out and his eyes were filled with tears.
The woman hiding in the corner seemed shy about seeing people. Even when she was dragged out, she only stretched out her left hand timidly, trying to cover half of her face.
However, her bare palm, which had lost all five fingers, was just like an ugly ball, densely covered with various marks burned by fire.
Her clothes were very thin, even though they had already covered the woman with clothes that could cover her body.
But following the woman's movements, everyone could easily see the various whip wounds and scars on her body.
It can be said that except for that face, which is as beautiful as a Jiangnan lotus, no part of this whole body is complete.
And even though there were no scars on that face, it couldn't hide the fear in the girl's eyes.
If the guard in black was acting in the courtyard before, then his hatred for Jiang Nianjiao at this moment was no longer an act, but a true expression of emotion.
"What did you do to Ah Wu!" He roared angrily, like a trapped beast, with scarlet eyes.
Frightened by his roar, the girl started to tremble even more.
Seeing the girl's appearance, the guard in black felt his heart tremble like a knife.
"Ah Wu, don't be afraid, it's me, I'm Zhang Yiliang." The guard in black tried to soften his voice, trying to appease the woman in front of him.
However, the girl trembled even more when she heard this.
When Jiang Nianjiao saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but look away. Even though she thought she was mentally strong, she didn't dare to take a closer look at the girl's appearance.
At this time, Zhao Nianze asked the guards around him to loosen their grip on Zhang Yiliang.
When Zhang Yiliang tried to get close to the girl, Zhao Nianze just said, "I sent people from Chengde Palace to get her out yesterday. She was already like this before she came out."
Hearing Zhao Nianze's words, Zhang Yiliang just remained silent.
Zhao Nianze then said, "If you are willing to cooperate, I can help you send her out of the palace and give her a relatively appropriate arrangement."
