Thinking of this, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but ask, "Ah Qian, what happened to Bai Ruizhu?"
Seeing Jiang Nianjiao ask about this matter, Chen Changnian immediately snorted, "What else could happen? She just followed me here, acting like a spoiled brat to my third brother, and even said that she could be my third brother's adviser. In fact, she was so little Who doesn’t know what I’m thinking? My third brother is very talkative.”
"Someone introduced someone to my third brother before, and she always disturbed the situation. I didn't like the girls they introduced to my brother before, and my second aunt also wanted to match them up, so I just let her do it. .”
After saying this, Chen Yannian realized that he had made a mistake, and then whispered, "Gillian, please leave her alone. She has been struggling for so long. Do you think my brother will agree to her?"
"And don't look at how noisy she is now. In fact, my second sister-in-law saw that my third brother was not interested in her, and she has already started to look for a suitable partner for her. She won't be able to make a fuss for long if she wants to."
Jiang Nianjiao is not as blindly optimistic as Chen Changnian. After all, when Bai Ruizhu fell into the water just now, others may not have noticed it, but she saw it clearly.
Bai Ruizhu jumped into the river deliberately.
Now, in connection with Chen Changnian's statement that she often disrupts the situation, this Bai Ruizhu is probably a person who cannot live without being crazy.
Jiang Nianjiao said, "Next time I go on a date with your brother, can you help me stop Bai Ruizhu?"
Regarding Jiang Nianjiao's request, Chen Yannian naturally would not refuse, "Don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I won't let her come here again!"
With Chen Changnian's assurance, Jiang Nianjiao felt a little more at ease.
After all, Chen Hongnian is a little bully in the house. She believes that if Chen Hongnian really becomes aggressive, Bai Ruizhu will not be able to disobey him.
After drinking the ginger soup, Jiang Nianjiao decided to visit Chen Jinghuai again.
After all, because Bai Ruizhu disrupted the situation today, she didn't ask anything, and she couldn't help but feel unwilling to do so.
If Chen Jinghuai woke up now, he would be able to ask more questions.
But as soon as the two of them reached the door, they heard an extremely suppressed cry coming from Chen Jinghuai's house.
The cry seemed to come from a woman.
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but look at each other with Chen Changnian.
Chen Yannian was about to push the door open to see who was crying inside.
Jiang Nianjiao grabbed Chen Hongnian's hand. She made a silencing gesture to Chen Hongnian, and finally secretly opened the door paper.
Through the small hole, she could clearly see Bai Ruizhu, who was supposed to be sleeping, sneaked into Chen Jinghuai's room at some point.
Instead, Chen Jinghuai, who should have woken up, was still lying on the bed motionless.
Bai Ruizhu sobbed softly while staring blankly at the man on the couch.
That look was extremely resentful.
Seeing that she was inside, Chen Changnian and Jiang Nianjiao pushed the door open.
Just at the moment when she pushed the door open, Bai Ruizhu's face showed a trace of obvious panic.
"Why did you come to my brother's house?" Chen Hongnian asked angrily.
Bai Ruizhu quickly lowered her head to straighten the broken hair around her ears, and then whispered, "I... I just want to come over and see if uncle is awake?"
Chen Yannian was obviously resentful because her brother almost drowned while trying to save her, so her tone was very unfriendly, "It has nothing to do with you whether my brother wakes up or not. My brother was almost killed by you today, and I didn't let you." You can even fall into a rowing boat, so I’m convinced by you. I think you’d better not follow my brother next time. Otherwise, my brother will be killed by you sooner or later.”
Bai Ruizhu was choked by Chen Hongnian, but she didn't reply. Instead, she just followed Chen Hongnian's words and whispered, "I know that I caused trouble for my uncle and Auntie today. If Auntie gets angry, just hit me. I'm really sorry." I didn’t mean to harm my uncle to save me.”
As soon as the words fell, Bai Ruizhu sobbed and cried softly again.
Chen Hongnian couldn't bear to hear Bai Ruizhu cry the most, so she just waved her hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, you can go down! Crying is annoying to death."
Bai Ruizhu was very obedient this time and left in a hurry without staying in the room.
Jiang Nianjiao always felt that Bai Ruizhu looked a little strange, so she couldn't help but remind Chen Changnian again.
"That Bai Ruizhu looks a bit strange. Although she can't do anything to you, you should still be careful."
Chen Yannian obviously still didn't care, "She's always been weird. Don't worry about it. She just reads too much."
Jiang Nianjiao thought for a while, but she still didn't directly tell what she saw on the ship at that time.
After that, Jiang Nianjiao waited for a while, but Chen Jinghuai still didn't wake up. Thinking that he might not be able to ask anything today, Jiang Nianjiao didn't plan to stay here anymore.
…
It was already late at night, and most of the candles in the main hall of Yuxiu Palace had been extinguished, with only a small lamp burning in the inner room.
The carved bed in the inner room was on the bed, and Jiang Nianjiao was having a good dream after a day of tossing.
Concubine Yu Xian, who was sleeping on the inside, didn't seem to be sleeping peacefully. Her brows were furrowed and she was sweating.
With an unwanted scream, Concubine Yuxian suddenly opened her eyes, but her expression was still dazed.
It wasn't until Jiang Nianjiao, who was woken up by her, called her aunt in a low voice that Concubine Yu Xian suddenly came back to her senses.
This is not an endless desert, and there are no horse thieves wielding knives to chase passers-by.
But her expression was still gloomy.
Jiang Nianjiao asked in a low voice, "Auntie is suffering from a nightmare?"
Concubine Yu Xian only covered her chest, and after taking a few breaths of relief, she nodded, "I dreamed that Yizhong was hacked to death by horse thieves in Guanyuan Town."
After saying this, she didn't want to say anything more. It seemed that she just remembered that it was not Yao Ping who was with her tonight.
Seeing this, Jiang Nianjiao could only comfort her a few more words softly, "Aunt, uncle must be fine. When he left the capital, he brought with him all the masters from His Majesty's secret guard camp. Even if they encountered horse thieves, how could they not spread any news? come out."
Concubine Yuxian was persuaded but still looked gloomy, "But if Yizhong is fine, why is there no news at all?"
"I heard Captain Chen say that the terrain in Guanyuan Town is complicated. It's not necessarily that they just got lost."
Concubine Yu Xian only sighed quietly when she heard this. She said no more and just said to Jiang Nianjiao, "Jiaojiao, my aunt is a little thirsty. Please go and get me a cup of cold tea."
Jiang Nianjiao nodded. After getting out of bed, she took the teapot from the round table not far away, and then poured a cup of tea absentmindedly.
But when she was about to bring the tea, she felt that the fragrance in the incense burner next to the tea table did not seem to be the incense her aunt used every day.
Moreover, this fragrance stays in the chest, making people feel dizzy and the chest becomes stuffy.
She immediately thought of dousing the remaining spices in the stove with tea.
However, she soon remembered what Yao Ping said. It seemed that in the past few days, Imperial Physician Zhang had prepared some soothing incense for Concubine Yuxian to help her sleep. Maybe this incense was the soothing incense.
Therefore, she resisted the thought of extinguishing the incense burner.
Then he held the teacup again and went to Concubine Yuxian.
After Concubine Yuxian drank tea, Jiang Nianjiao remembered that Yaoping had said that Concubine Yuxian seemed to have nightmares every night and couldn't sleep anymore, so she decided to chat with Concubine Yuxian.
Unexpectedly, after Concubine Yuxian drank tea, she could only say four or five sentences and fell asleep quickly again.
Seeing that her aunt fell asleep so quickly, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but wonder if Yao Ping was lying when she said that her aunt couldn't sleep again after every nightmare.
But I don’t know if I was working too hard during the day.
She soon had no time to think about anything and fell into a deep sleep.
At the same time, the originally closed window of Yuxiu Palace was gently pushed open. The person jumped and quickly landed on the window sill.
Then the man quickly turned over and entered the main hall of Yuxiu Palace.
During this period, the man didn't make a sound, so even the eunuch on duty at the door didn't even notice.
The man was dressed in black and his face was covered. Even though the candlelight in the room was dim, no one could see his appearance clearly.
After he touched the bed in the inner room, he quickly took out a dagger.
He stabbed Jiang Nianjiao fiercely at Jiang Nianjiao who was lying on the bed. However, when the dagger was still an inch away from Jiang Nianjiao, the man's two wrists and even ankles holding the dagger were quickly hit by a seven-inch dagger connected with silk thread. Pin it.
At the same time, the man was quickly pulled out of the window by the thread.
With a scream and the sound of the window being dragged, the little eunuch who had been keeping watch outside the palace finally heard the movement.
He quickly pushed open the door of the inner hall, but when he looked around, the room was empty. The loud noise and scream just now seemed to be just an illusion.
Fortunately, the little eunuch was also a careful person, and he soon discovered that the window leading to the inner room seemed to be wide open.
Realizing that something was wrong, the young eunuch panicked and called into the room, "Your Majesty."
Seeing no one in the room answered, the little eunuch quickly stepped into the room again.
All that could be seen was the flickering lights in the room, which reflected a mess in the room.
The little eunuch was also frightened to the point where his legs were weak. He was about to call out for someone to come.
But the smell of incense in the inner room was too strong. After inhaling a large amount of the fragrance without any precautions, the little eunuch's eyes sank, and then he fell to the ground.
It wasn't until the little eunuch was stunned by the incense that he saw some movement on the phoenix tree not far away.
I saw a secret guard in black following the thin silk rope and carrying the masked man who just wanted to assassinate Jiang Nianjiao towards the outside of Yuxiu Palace.
At the same time, there was another secret guard in black, following the thin silk rope, like a brisk flying swallow, he quickly slid into the messy room.
After cleaning up the traces left by the masked man in black in the room, the secret guard in black fed the little eunuch who just broke into the room a bottle of medicinal solution.
After the liquid entered his throat, the man dragged the little eunuch who was as sleepy as a dead pig and threw him at the door of the outer room.
After everything was taken care of, the secret guard disappeared into the phoenix tree again.
It was as if nothing had happened just now.
However, someone knocked on the door of Huanhan Hall on the other side.
Although it was already midnight, Zhao Ruian didn't fall asleep.
Hearing the knock on the door, he was delighted and opened the door himself. However, the door has only just opened.
Then he saw a group of black shadows rushing towards him.
If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have almost been knocked down by the black shadow.
He couldn't help but cursed angrily in a low voice, "Don't you have eyes?"
