It's a pity that he can put on a show in front of the world, but he never even bothers to pretend in front of himself.
After the fall of the Jiang family, he stood up correctly again and became the right-hand man left by Emperor Yong to his cousin. For a while, he was even more prosperous.
In the later stages of his career, after Concubine Yu Xian, who loved him the most, also left, he no longer even bothered to act out this kind of pretense of affection. He almost refused to refuse the beauties rewarded by the king and the concubines given by his colleagues.
But ironically, it was during that period that she had a chance to breathe. At least with other concubines, he would no longer come to her house frequently.
Although he allowed his beloved concubine to dominate him, the life of a dignified wife was not as good as that of a maid in the house.
But his concubine's method of tormenting her was not even one ten thousandth as good as his.
Moreover, the person's appearance has faded due to repeated stress. If the appearance has faded, even the torture may make him lose interest.
As time went by, he stopped coming to his yard, and she was so forgotten by him that she lingered in his backyard for a few more years.
She also always thought that he must not remember her.
Until the King of Jin rebelled and conquered the imperial city, he left the capital in a hurry with the emperor. He did remember to send away those concubines who were not favored, and even remembered to take away those who were favored, but he only left himself behind. The mansion was worth looting but had no ability to resist.
After that, there was burning, killing and looting by the rebels. After that, under the order of the rebellious King Jin, Wang Liufang started a fire when he went to the palace. The fire burned for three days and nights, and he was also He was burned alive at that time.
Thinking of the past, and then thinking of the person in front of him now, Jiang Nianjiao often had the feeling that the two were not the same person.
However, Lu Zhizhang is used to putting on a show when the situation arises. Who knows if he is using this disguise now because he failed to succeed, or because he is still obsessed with himself.
Thinking of those past events, the slight emotion I felt towards Lu Zhizhang also cooled down slightly.
Even when he looked at her like this, she just felt sick at the moment.
But she didn't want to start any argument with him, let alone let anyone notice his unusual gaze on her.
Fortunately, when Jiang Nianjiao was feeling extremely embarrassed, Chen Changnian, who discovered Jiang Nianjiao, immediately rushed towards him.
"Jiaojiao!" Before she could finish her words, Chen Changnian hugged Jiang Nianjiao tightly.
Obviously this was a subconscious reaction after the aftermath of the disaster. Although there was still chaos outside, when people came to their senses, the team guarding the Xu family and his son immediately began to organize a counterattack to capture the traitors.
Jiang Nianjiao naturally hugged Chen Changnian back.
Although Chen Yannian also looked a bit embarrassed due to the crowding and chaos, she was already a martial artist, and she was also in the favor of the Chen family, so her position was better than Jiang Nianjiao's to escape danger.
Then the two only hugged for a moment before they separated.
But just when Chen Changnian was about to ask Jiang Nianjiao if she was okay, the little follower beside her suddenly burst into tears.
"My brother is missing! My brother is missing! Big sister, I beg you to help me find my brother quickly!"
As the little girl pulled and tugged at Chen Changnian, Jiang Nianjiao noticed that there was a miserable little girl coming with Chen Changnian. .
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but ask, "Ah Qian, who is she?"
Chen Yannian frowned, "How do I know who she is? When I escaped into the hall, I saw a little girl crying in the crowd. I was afraid that she would be stepped on, so I brought her here."
"Who knew this kid could be so difficult to deal with! He's so annoying."
I have to say that it's really annoying when this kid cries.
Moreover, it was not okay for Chen Changnian to hit or scold this child.
After all, she was just worried about her family.
Although Chen Yannian was annoyed by what she said, she was not really a cruel person. After a while, she could only squat down and ask the little girl, "Little sister, don't cry first. You want to find your brother, so why don't you?" You have to tell me your brother’s name first?”
The little girl didn't know whether it was because she was too young or something else, but she couldn't say her brother's name smoothly.
Finally
A female official from the side said, "Isn't this the young lady from the Zhennan Palace?"
Hearing the woman's words, Jiang Nianjiao's eyes immediately lit up, and she quickly asked, "Madam, have you ever met the Zhennan Wang family?"
When the woman heard this, she immediately shook her head, "Where have I seen them before?"
Then the woman, perhaps because she was afraid of being blamed by this little crybaby, quickly said, "I won't tell you anymore. I still have to go find my family."
After saying this, the woman left in a hurry.
Jiang Nianjiao didn't even have time to ask for details.
Fortunately, Chen Changnian finally coaxed the little crybaby into peace.
She gently wiped away the tears that filled her eyelashes, and then whispered, "Don't cry. I will find your brother for you, but I don't know your brother either. I will lift you above my head. You Please check where your brother is. If you find him, I will help you find him."
After hearing Chen Changnian's words, the little crybaby finally stopped crying, and she just said "Hello" softly. Chen Hongnian lifted her above his head. After the little girl sat on Chen Hongnian's shoulders, she immediately carefully looked at the surroundings of the temple.
At this time, the crisis outside has obviously been greatly alleviated.
The archers who were standing on the roof to release arrows did not know that there was someone else behind them. When they were about to release a round of arrows, the team of the eldest brother of the Xu family just sneaked up behind them, giving them little time to react. , the heads of these archers were cut off.
It's just that although the crisis was resolved quickly, the chaotic crowd below didn't know that the crisis had been resolved. They only crowded and pushed in a disorderly chaos. It can be said that the injuries caused by the archers in this crisis are probably not recovered. The damage caused by congestion without their own pushing and crowding is higher.
Even if someone told the people below that the danger had been resolved, people turned a deaf ear. Looking at this situation, they looked at Emperor Yong who had no look of surprise on his face and was only protected by his guards, looking at the situation outside coldly. , Jiang Nianjiao suddenly felt that Emperor Yong had probably anticipated today's situation, and that he deliberately wanted these events to happen, and that it might have been a wrong decision for him to only tell Emperor Yong about this matter from the beginning.
After all, if Emperor Yong really wanted to nip things in the bud, perhaps what happened today wouldn't have happened at all.
At present, he has only relieved himself of the risk, but has put others into this risk, just to make the Chen family's guilt traceable.
The candle that originally contained gunpowder did not explode, and the sandalwood that originally contained gunpowder did not play any role. Seeing that the soldiers who were ambushing him outside were also killed, the face of the head of the Chen family darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, he only knew very clearly that his defeat was already certain.
Even Queen Min, who had been following Emperor Yong, didn't look so good.
Although Jiang Nianjiao had already removed Queen Min from this dispute.
But Queen Min is a member of the Chen family, and Emperor Yong has no affection for her. Now that the Chen family has fallen, even if Queen Min is innocent, will Emperor Yong not kill her because of her innocence?
You must know that Emperor Yong in front of you is a ruthless emperor who can only involve innocent people in order to achieve his goals.
When Jiang Nianjiao thought about this aspect, her heart became cold.
But before she could think of Queen Min's retreat, a maid who had been guarding Emperor Yong showed a trace of murderous intent on her face.
Almost before Jiang Nianjiao could speak, the maid suddenly pulled out the dagger, and the cold light flashed slightly. Emperor Yong was naturally defenseless and saw the dagger immediately piercing Emperor Yong's back.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Queen Min suddenly jumped forward. She only completely blocked the back of Emperor Yong. As the dagger pierced into Queen Min's body, people suddenly discovered that a maid actually took advantage of the opportunity. Luan wanted to assassinate Emperor Yong.
Fortunately, there were many guards around Emperor Yong, and they hardly gave the maid a chance to come again.
After missing the target, the guards also held long blades and stabbed the assassin to the core.
The maid soon fell to the ground, but Queen Min's back was dripping with blood.
It was only at this time that Emperor Yong discovered that Queen Min's phoenix robe was stained red with blood.
"Zhiwei?" Emperor Yong didn't seem to expect
Queen Dao Min actually blocked the knife for herself, and for a moment his expression only revealed a bit of complexity.
On the other hand, Qiu Wan on the side saw this and called out "Mother!" in great sorrow.
Then she shouted loudly, "Come here! Call the doctor quickly!"
However, the scene is so chaotic at this time, and there is no imperial doctor anywhere. In the end, His Highness Ninth Prince Zhao Lang, who had learned three melons and two dates at Taiyuan Hospital, found out that Queen Min was injured, so he rushed over and bandaged Queen Min urgently.
Everyone was probably shocked by the assassination so close at hand, and some were also shocked by Queen Min's sacrifice of her life to save Emperor Yong.
After all, the rumors that Queen Min and Emperor Yong were not getting along were no longer a matter of one day or two.
However, under such a situation, in the end it was Queen Min who blocked Emperor Yong's sword.
Some people were just sighing, and at the same time they were worried about Queen Min's safety.
However, while they were lamenting, Jiang Nianjiao just looked at Qiu Wan thoughtfully.
Although the assassination only happened in an instant, she happened to be observing Emperor Yong at that time, so she could see the situation when the assassination happened more clearly than anyone else.
When Emperor Yong was about to be assassinated, Empress Min did not take the initiative to block the knife. She may not have even noticed the abnormality in the assassination of the maid.
But Qiu Wan, who was beside Queen Min, saw it, and not only did she see it, she even took action.
At that moment, when she realized that the maid had assassinated Emperor Yong, she was the one who pushed Queen Min onto Emperor Yong.
She clearly remembered that Qiu Wan and Queen Min had always had a deep relationship between master and servant. Even before her rebirth, Qiu Wan only followed her master.
