Thinking of this, Jiang Nianjiao hated the person who encouraged Jiang Zhi to run away.
But at this moment, compared to finding that person, it is obviously more important to find the whereabouts of Jiang Zhi. After all, it is common for Zhao Ruian to play tricks on people.
And I heard that he had a zoo outside the palace. He would only buy people who had signed death contracts outside the palace and send them to the zoo, letting them face the tigers, wolves and ferocious beasts with their bare hands.
Thinking of these rumors, Jiang Nianjiao naturally couldn't sit still anymore.
Even Jiang Fang was shocked when he got the news.
Jiang Zhi is now the only thought between him and Yu Se. If something happens to Yu Se, he can't just find the real culprit for her first. Will his and Yu Se's daughters be toyed with in vain?
But now he didn't know where Zi was, so he only asked Jiang Nianjiao to go to the palace to find Zi's whereabouts, while he himself went to the zoo to find someone.
Because of Concubine Yuxian, Jiang Nianjiao's access to the palace was simple.
Moreover, there was no funeral etiquette in this dynasty, so Jiang Nianjiao's entry into the palace went very smoothly.
As soon as she entered the palace, she went directly to Yuxiu Palace.
In Yuxiu Palace, Concubine Yuxian was drinking afternoon tea with several low-ranking concubines from the side palace who came to visit.
When these people saw Jiang Nianjiao coming, they were very understanding. They just said something to Jiang Nianjiao to express his condolences, and then left voluntarily.
When Concubine Yuxian saw Jiang Nianjiao coming over, she still felt that she was acting inappropriately, so she couldn't help but scolded her softly, "Gillian? Aren't you the one responsible for your mistress's funeral? You are not in the Jiang Mansion at the moment, but you are in the palace to do it." What?"
Jiang Nianjiao didn't argue, she knelt down in front of Concubine Yuxian and said, "Auntie, Azhi is missing. Zi kidnapped Azhi on the street!"
After hearing the news, even Concubine Yuxian was shocked, "Are you sure?"
Jiang Nianjiao nodded solemnly, "Someone on the road saw the Xu family's carriage robbed Azhi when it passed Wangliufang. After that, we went to the Xu family. The third son of the Xu family said that he had borrowed Azhi from the third son's carriage early this morning."
At this point, fearing that Concubine Yuxian would not take it seriously, Jiang Nianjiao could only say, "I touched Azhi at the spring banquet before. Aunt, I want to ask you to help me find out whether she is in the palace." , if you are here, please ask my aunt to help me ask about Azhi's whereabouts."
Concubine Yuxian had also heard about Zhao Ruian's absurdity, and now that she heard Jiang Nianjiao say so, she naturally couldn't take it lightly.
She only quickly sent someone to find Zhao Ruian, but the people she sent quickly returned without success. Zhao Ruian's palace servants only heard that Zhao Ruian had not returned since he went out last night.
Since Zhang Guifei's incident, Zhao Ruian has become more and more ridiculous. He only hangs out with the playboys of the Beijing faction in those places. It is common for him to eat flowers and wine in flower houses everywhere and stay up all night.
Since Emperor Yong's incident with Concubine Zhang, he has naturally turned a deaf ear to Zhao Ruian, and now it is Queen Min who is in charge of these princes who have not yet arranged their residence.
Queen Min and Concubine Zhang had never dealt with each other before. Now that Concubine Zhang's son was left in this world, she was being kind by not disturbing him, so how could she care about him.
I just didn't expect that this negligence would cause him to cause such a big trouble.
After that, Concubine Yuxian took Jiang Nianjiao to Fengchen Palace.
In Fengchen Palace, Queen Min saw Jiang Nianjiao coming, and remembered that her son's marriage was disrupted because of her during this period, and saw her coming to the door. Queen Min naturally wanted to say no.
However, when they heard about this matter, they looked very solemn.
Queen Min, with Qiu Wan's persuasion, finally allowed them to enter Fengchen Palace.
However, she was obviously very unhappy when she saw Jiang Nianjiao.
Therefore, she kept a cold face, ignored Jiang Nianjiao and said, "I don't know why Sister Xian Fei is here."
"Queen, please send someone to find your son."
Hearing this, Queen Min frowned and said, "What do you think Concubine Xian said?"
"Jiang Zhi was out on the street today and was kidnapped on the street. Her whereabouts are unknown since then." Concubine Yu Xian whispered.
After hearing this, Queen Min only pointed out: "It is not appropriate for a woman who has not left the palace to interact with her husband all day long, and to go out on the street again."
But even though I said that,
Queen Min also knew that if this matter got serious, Emperor Yong would definitely punish her for not being able to discipline her well.
Therefore, after Queen Min said this sarcastic remark, she still sent people to quickly find out the whereabouts of the child.
After that, she just asked Jiang Nianjiao to go back and wait for the news.
After hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao naturally returned to Yuxiu Palace first.
It's just that there has been no news from Queen Min.
On the contrary, Zhao Yanzhen, who heard about his coming from nowhere, just heard the wind and came looking for him.
Concubine Yuxian was not very happy when she heard that Zhao Yanzhen asked for an audience.
But she is not Queen Min's kind of person who always speaks her mind.
Therefore, although she didn't like His Highness's behavior of pestering Jiang Nianjiao, Concubine Yuxian still let His Highness enter Yuxiu Palace after Jiang Nianjiao seemed to want to meet him.
Zhao Yanzhen has become much thinner during this period, but his handsome and gentle face still remains the same as before.
He only wore a pale robe embroidered with silver threads and magnolia flowers, and his figure was slim. He looked like an immortal under the moon.
He greeted Concubine Yuxian in a gentle and polite manner. After receiving Concubine Yuxian's arrangements, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but cast her eyes on this person.
This seemed to be the first time they had such a formal meeting in the presence of elders.
Zhao Yanzhen seemed to be aware of Jiang Nianjiao's gaze, and he only smiled tenderly in return.
Then he asked Concubine Yuxian for instructions, "Concubine Xian, Yanzhen has something to say to Jiaojiao, but I wonder if it would be convenient for you to do so."
Concubine Yuxian naturally knew that the person Zhao Yanzhen really wanted to see was Jiang Nianjiao, and Jiang Nianjiao probably wanted to see him too.
Therefore, although she sighed in her heart that this was just a bad relationship, she still allowed them the opportunity to talk in private.
With Concubine Yuxian's approval, Zhao Yanzhen's eyes fell even more intensely on Jiang Nianjiao. He stepped forward and took Jiang Nianjiao's hand and said, "Jiaojiao, let's go outside for a walk."
When he said this, Concubine Yu Xian couldn't ignore his strong love.
Jiang Nianjiao also wanted to ask him something, so she naturally followed him outside Yuxiu Palace.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yanzhen took her to a secluded place again. Seeing him like this, she thought that Zhao Yanzhen might have some shady plans.
So when he arrived at the sweet-scented osmanthus forest, Jiang Nianjiao's face turned red as he thought about Zhao Yanzhen's behavior in front of others last time.
As expected, Zhao Yanzhen subsequently dismissed the guards around him.
When they were the only two people left in the forest, Zhao Yanzhen turned around and said, "Jiaojiao, what's going on with your stepmother?"
When he asked this, he was surprisingly serious.
When Jiang Nianjiao heard that he was just asking about Yu Se, her expression became serious. Then she only briefly told Zhao Yanzhen what happened yesterday.
Zhao Yanzhen frowned when he heard this, "So there is something wrong with Fenmei and Cuozhu? Have you ever gone to the tavern to look for them?"
Jiang Nianjiao naturally nodded when he heard the words and said, "That's right, but we don't have the authority after all. After all, that is the residence of Prince Nada. If we don't have definite evidence to find someone in his house, I'm afraid it will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. And you should I also know that my stepmother has colluded with the Qiangmo people. If we continue to investigate carefully, the current mess of the Jiang family may also be found out."
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao mention what happened next, Zhao Yanzhen also frowned, "So you plan not to report Yu Se's death?"
Jiang Nianjiao nodded lightly, "My father said that His Majesty is now thoroughly investigating the secret collusion between the Qiangmo people, and besides my uncle Gao Yizhong, my father is also one of the principal persons involved in the secret investigation. If something like this happens at this time, Come. I’m afraid it will reduce His Majesty’s trust in my father.”
Zhao Yanzhen snorted slightly when he heard this, and said in a low voice, "My father has always been suspicious. You don't really think that he let your father take charge because he trusts your father, do you? And compared to Gao Yizhong, your father has always been suspicious of him." It only takes a little while to surrender, and there is nothing to prove your father's loyalty. If your father wants nothing to happen, it is best to find an opportunity to confront him privately. Now that your stepmother has died, it is the most suitable time. .”
Hearing what Zhao Yanzhen said. She also thought of Emperor Yong's behavior in the later period of his succession. Although she had not had much dealings with Emperor Yong, she also knew how deep and scheming Emperor Yong was.
There are many smart people in this world.
It was obviously a fool's errand to hide it in front of Akito.
Moreover, the Jiang family was so hollow that if Emperor Yong had the intention, it would be easy to investigate. @
Instead of being smart, trying to hide the truth, or waiting to be found out later, it is really better to find a way out for yourself while you are still useful and can defend yourself.
Jiang Nianjiao nodded, truly grateful for Zhao Yanzhen's suggestion.
"What you said makes sense. Thank you for reminding me. I will go back to discuss this matter with my father."
Just as Jiang Nianjiao finished speaking, Zhao Yanzhen's eyes settled on Jiang Nianjiao's face.
When he looked at her like this, Jiang Nianjiao almost thought there was something dirty on her face. She subconsciously touched her cheek and asked, "Is there something dirty on my face?"
Hearing her question, Zhao Yanzhen smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing dirty. I heard Jiaojiao thank me just now, but I don't know how genuine Jiaojiao's gratitude is, otherwise why she didn't show any expression at all."
Seeing the cunning look in his eyes, Jiang Nianjiao knew that he was no longer serious again. Fortunately, she just lamented that this man finally looked like a gentleman to her.
Now it seems that the fox's tail can't be hidden.
She could also tell that his thank you gift was probably not a serious matter, but she was used to this man's behavior, so she didn't bother to pretend to be ignorant.
Just after he hinted, she placed a soft and delicate kiss directly on Zhao Yanzhen's lips.
Zhao Yanzhen's fox-like eyes were surprised for a moment when Jiang Nianjiao took the initiative.
But he quickly realized it. He hugged Jiang Nianjiao, wanting to deepen the kiss.
