At the same time, as time passed, the northern suburbs prayer meeting finally arrived.
In addition to members of the royal family, this blessing also included some powerful officials and loyal ministers.
Jiang Fang was naturally among them, and Jiang Nianjiao, as the future Princess Jin, was naturally invited.
The mighty carriage drove slowly along with the guards opening the way ahead.
Driving from Wangliufang to the west of the city, there are many people watching and worshiping along the way.
This scene did not end until we left the city.
After arriving at the ancestral temple, the monks and nuns from the ancestral temple naturally came to greet them. Jiang Nianjiao only walked slowly behind a group of female family members. She looked at the incense candles everywhere in the temple, feeling somewhat uneasy in her heart.
I just don’t know if this batch of incense candles has been successfully replaced.
Unexpectedly, when she was thinking like this, someone patted her shoulder from behind. When Jiang Nianjiao turned around, she realized that it was Chen Changnian whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
I haven't seen Chen Changnian in this period of time, and my spirit is visibly depressed.
However, after seeing Jiang Nianjiao, her eyes suddenly became clear. No matter what other people's arrangements were, she only took small steps and quickly approached Jiang Nianjiao.
Although her behavior was much more elegant than before, she still caused dissatisfaction with Jiang Nianjiao when she suddenly pushed away a boudoir lady next to her.
The young lady couldn't help but said dissatisfiedly, "Who are you? Why are you squeezing towards us? Can't you even look at the road?"
The young lady wanted to say more, but the companion beside her quickly stopped the impulsive girl and said, "Okay, Xiaofen, let's get out of the way. You don't want to see who she is."
The young lady called Xiaofen had obviously just entered the capital. When her companion said this, she was quite dissatisfied and said, "Who is she?"
However, before she could finish her words, she was quickly pulled aside by her companions to learn more about Chen Changnian's great achievements as the Demon King in Shangjing over the years.
But Chen Changnian didn't care at all about this. She just said angrily to Jiang Nianjiao, "Jiaojiao, you little heartless one, you don't even think about coming to see me these days."
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she just smiled and said, "Isn't your brother busy giving you a blind date? If I go, I'm afraid it will only be in vain."
Not wanting to hear what Jiang Nianjiao said, Chen Changnian became even more unhappy, "Jiaojiao, I think you just don't pay enough attention to me. My brother returned to Yunzhou a few days ago."
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao just widened her eyes and said, "Really? When did your brother return to Yunzhou?"
"When His Highness Prince Jin went to Yunzhou, my brother set out with him." Chen Changnian glanced at Jiang Nianjiao unhappily and said.
Then she didn't forget to say derogatoryly, "You don't even know this?"
"But think about it, I guess you were only here to remember His Highness Prince Jin, so how could you remember us, unrelated people." After saying this, Chen Changnian glanced at Jiang Nianjiao with a hint of resentment.
Jiang Nianjiao was amused by her behavior, and felt that she had indeed neglected her in recent days, so she took the initiative to apologize to Chen Hongnian, "It's all my fault these days, but I'm just too busy these days."
Unfortunately, facing Jiang Nianjiao's apology, Chen Changnian still said quietly, "What are you busy with? What are you busy with? I think you have obviously changed your mind."
Chen Yannian's teasing voice became louder, which naturally attracted the attention of others. The girl next to her who heard the words clearly couldn't help but chuckle.
But this laughter only caused the monks and nuns leading the way to turn around and say, "Dear gentlemen, this place is solemn, so please don't say anything."
The monks and nuns all said this, and the others naturally quickly suppressed the smiles on their faces. Although Chen Hongnian was not used to following any rules, she also knew that talking too much in today's situation would easily bring disaster to her family, so she rarely No more words.
Then everyone went to the main temple under the guidance of the monk and nun.
The main temple is very spacious at this time. Although there are more than a hundred people worshiping here, the temple can still accommodate half of the people. However, most of the half of the people are members of the royal family, and then the royal relatives. Noble relatives, dignitaries and dignitaries.
Although Prime Minister Jiang usually has a very high status in the court, he is still ranked low in terms of his close relationship with the royal family.
As a result, Jiang Nianjiao could only kneel outside the temple
, but looking at the brilliant lights in the temple and the empress in the front, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but silently thought that if the candlelight in the room really exploded, the empress in the innermost place would definitely be the first victim. .
However, after a long time, the candle was still lit silently, while the ceremonial officer recited a prayer loudly in the room.
The bright red candle flame is like blood and tears dripping on the gilt copper candlestick shaped like a branch.
The scent of sandalwood lingers in the room, and the people kneeling on the ground all have their own evil intentions.
However, before the candle exploded, chaos broke out outside.
There was an exclamation from the crowd, and then the scream was followed by the woman’s heartbreaking cry, “Daddy!”
"master!"
As the sharp voice sounded, anxiety and fear exploded among the crowd like a drop of boiling oil.
Only then did people discover that the official following the team was shot in the back with an arrow.
After that, someone discovered that there was a group of archers on the eaves above the ancestral temple, holding only bows and arrows and aiming at the crowd!
"There is an assassin!"
Following this exclamation, panic broke out in the venue. People crowded into the room from time to time, while others ran out the door. ..
In the sudden chaotic scene, the archers had not taken many lives, but the chaos first turned the people involved into a mess.
Cries, cries for help, shouts, all kinds of chaotic sounds mixed together.
Those who were running, those who fell to the ground, and those who were panicking only aggravated the panic.
Some people get separated from their families unconsciously just while running, and the same is true for Jiang Nianjiao. She was originally kneeling next to Jiang Fang, but when she was running just now, the people around her had already changed into completely different ones. Unfamiliar faces.
But at the moment, she didn't care to look for Jiang Fang. After all, arrows were flying everywhere and the field was chaotic. Rather than looking for Jiang Fang, what she should do most now was to run away and hide.
But she hadn't been able to run a few steps, and she didn't know whether someone stretched her leg intentionally or by accident. In the chaos, she was tripped to the ground by someone's hook.
The people in front were brought to the ground by her, but before they could stand up, the people behind them rushed forward regardless.
Jiang Nianjiao just tried to stand up with her hands, but the person behind stepped on her back. Jiang Nianjiao was stepped on the ground again in an instant, and then she saw countless pairs of feet walking towards her as if they had no eyes. Walking on people.
Jiang Nianjiao didn't have the extra energy to stand up at this time, and she didn't have the time to yell. After all, she was cooking porridge in boiling water. Even if she yelled like crazy, no one might pay attention to her.
It's a pity that although she tried her best to avoid the crowd and find a gap to stand up, the crowd was too crowded and she couldn't find a gap at this time.
And just when Jiang Nianjiao thought that there was a high probability that she would be trampled to death, she heard the man's angry shout in her ears, "Are you trying to kill someone? Get out of here!"
As the man shouted angrily, people seemed to realize that Jiang Nianjiao was being stepped on.
After the crowd made some room, the man just grabbed Jiang Nianjiao and rushed into the palace.
Jiang Nianjiao was so dizzy after being stepped on that she couldn't see clearly the person who saved her.
It wasn't until she entered the main hall and was protected by the attendants that Jiang Nianjiao had enough energy to see her savior.
"Thank you so much just now." Jiang Nianjiao just said words of thanks to the other party.
However, when the two looked at each other, Jiang Nianjiao still felt a little unbelievable.
She probably never would have thought that she would be rescued by Lu Zhizhang.
Lu Zhizhang didn't seem to see the incredible emotion in Jiang Nianjiao's eyes. He just stretched out his hand and handed a handkerchief to Jiang Nianjiao and said, "There is something dirty on your face. You'd better wipe it with a handkerchief first!"
Jiang Nianjiao naturally couldn't see the dirt on her face and the messy bun on her head, but the muddy clothes on her body were still visible to the naked eye.
She just silently thanked Lu Zhizhang once again.
Then she silently wiped the mud from her face. Lu Zhizhang stayed by Jiang Nianjiao's side, and his eyes only focused on Jiang Nianjiao.
Being watched by him like this, Jiang Nianjiao felt that her hands were all numb
I feel like I don't know where to put it.
Originally, she should have kept an absolute distance from Lu Zhizhang.
After all, in the life before his rebirth, Lu Zhizhang didn't have the same pity for him as he does now.
All he coveted was the help his father could give him. For this help, he married the wealthy young lady who had fallen into prostitution.
At first everyone said he was a flower mixed with cow dung. But no one knew how she was treated as his head wife in the boudoir. Those methods could hardly be summed up by one taste.
Especially after he stepped on his father Jiang Fang to become the leader, his methods became even more unscrupulous. Anyway, no one cared about what she had gone through, and no one would care about this boudoir.
And who would have thought that this talented, gentle and personable gentleman would turn out to be a hypocrite full of violent tactics.
He devalued himself and imprisoned himself, just to find someone to vent his negative emotions.
Later, the entire Jiang family was slaughtered, but he left her alone to plead for her. Everyone thought he loved her, but in fact, he was just acting from the beginning.
After all, some people lamented that he was like a flower hanging on cow dung, while others were actually quite shameful towards him. He only said that he was a villain who would do whatever it took to get the upper hand, and he was the proof of his unscrupulousness.
After all, who in the right mind would want to marry a daughter who has fallen into prostitution and has long been notorious in the capital.
And this was something that bothered him, so when he first begged for mercy on his behalf, he just wanted to prove to the world that he actually loved her when he proposed to marry her.
