After saying these words, Cui Qiao directly slapped the dagger into Yu Shisan's arms, and then trotted away with her face flushed.
Yu Shisan, who had been scolded a lot and received an innocent slap on the face, really didn't understand why he received such a slap.
After all, didn’t Cui Qiao ask this herself? I just answered honestly, why did I have to get this slap?
Immediately, he only thought that someone was saying bad things about him in front of Cui Qiao, right?
And it seems that the only person who can convince Cui Qiao to hate her is Lianying who is beside Jiang Nianjiao besides Jiang Nianjiao.
He thought that Jiang Nianjiao would not slander him, and if he was not mistaken, she might not even know that he was pursuing the maid next to her.
So excluding Jiang Nianjiao, the only possibility is Lianying.
Thinking of this, Yu Shisan was determined to find time to talk to Lingying.
Of course, threats and intimidation will not do. After all, these are the maids around the princess. If he threatens them, the prince will not skin him.
So now I can only go to please Lianying and see if there is any misunderstanding between them. If there is any misunderstanding, it is best to resolve it as soon as possible. If you can coax Lianying to say good things to him, he can keep Cuiqiao's whereabouts under wraps. It might be better to call the report to myself than to mess around like this.
As a secret guard under King Jin, Yu Shisan has always had an amazing execution ability. Now that he has made up his mind, it will not take long for him to start hanging around Lianying. In order to please Lianying, he only used Coax Cui. It took a lot of effort to raise the eyebrows.
After Cui Qiao saw this situation, Cui Qiao decided that Yu Shisan was a dirty kid, or a dirty kid who had changed his mind. After that, the two went around and around and fought over this matter.
Of course, these are all things for later.
After Zhao Yanzhen had dinner with Jiang Nianjiao this evening, it was rare that he didn't bother Jiang Nianjiao anymore.
He only whispered to Jiang Nianjiao, "I have something to do today and have to go to the study. If you are sleepy, don't wait for me and go to bed early."
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, Jiang Nianjiao breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Zhao Yanzhen had been clinging to her very tightly these days, especially after eating meat. Thank God in my heart.
But she didn't dare to show any joy on her face. She was not afraid that Zhao Yanzhen would be angry. She was afraid that Zhao Yanzhen would become unhappy after seeing her emotions, and he would torment her even more with revenge if he got the chance.
So she only said warmly, "Thank you for your hard work, husband, but no matter how hard it is, you must take care of your body. I will wait for you in the house."
After hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen only smiled and replied, "Madam, don't worry, my husband will not only take care of himself, but also take care of his wife."
After hearing what he said, the maids in the room felt as if they had been stuffed with dog food, and they couldn't spit it out.
Afterwards, the two of them stayed warm and affectionate for a while, and then parted ways. Jiang Nianjiao went into the house, while Zhao Yanzhen went to the study.
Lianying on the side saw this and said, "Madam, we are really waiting for the prince to come back."
Jiang Niangjiao shook her hand and said, "You lied to him. He wouldn't wake me up again when I fell asleep. If you ask me tomorrow, I'll tell you that I've been waiting for so long that he can't wait. He's too sleepy to fall asleep. If you stay with me again, There's a half-read book next to the bed, and I guess there's nothing he can do about it."
Lianying just covered her mouth and snickered and said "Jiang Nianjiao is wise."
The two of them entered the inner room before their eyes.
On the other side, Zhao Yanzhen walked quickly on the veranda with the boy beside him holding a small lamp.
Someone else pushed the study door open for him.
When Zhao Yanzhen arrived at the door of the study, he dismissed his men and began to deal with the unfinished official documents today.
But just as he was picking up his pen, he heard a noise behind his bookshelf.
He immediately called someone, then took a sword and came to the bookshelf. Behind the bookshelf, he saw a woman in plain clothes inserting a white magnolia into a vase. The sweet fragrance filled the room.
He put his sword against the woman's shoulder and asked sternly, "Who are you?"
The woman just shivered and immediately knelt down at Zhao Yanzhen's feet and said, "Slave, call Cheng Susu."
Zhao Yanzhen
He just said coldly, "Raise your head."
Hearing this, the woman slowly raised her head. She looked a little pitiful, like a white pear blossom soaked in rain and dew.
She is just a weak woman, but she is a woman I have never seen before.
Therefore, the tip of Zhao Yanzhen's sword still did not leave his head's shoulder.
"Cheng Susu? It seems that I have never seen you in this study? And I remember that I told my servants not to come here to serve you at night."
Hearing this, Cheng Susu only said in a trembling voice, "I am Madam's new one. She arranged for me to work in the study, but no one told me that I don't have to come over at night."
Hearing that it was Jiang Nianjiao who sent the person here, he moved the sword away from the woman's shoulder.
He just said coldly, "Okay, please leave. You don't have to come to the study at night from now on."
Cheng Susu didn't seem to understand how she escaped death.
But she still nodded in confusion.
Then she hugged Bai Magnolia and left the study room, but before leaving, she couldn't help but glance at the man again.
When King Jin asked her to raise her head, this was the first time she took a good look at King Jin from such a close distance. She had to admit that King Jin became more and more beautiful up close. It was said that the daughter of Jiang Xiang, a beauty from Beijing, was the leader. , the noble son of the Jin Dynasty is undoubtedly the most handsome.
Looking closer, she had to admit that her withered heart was starting to feel a little restless.
Of course, she also knew that besides being interested in King Jin's skin, she was even more interested in his power. After all, she had been removed from the family, and no one cared about her life or death. If she wanted to get her family to accept her again, perhaps she could only do it for herself. Find a good marriage.
Although she is now in ruins, she should still have no problem being a concubine.
And now it is said that the two kings of Liang and Jin were fighting fiercely for the throne.
Although many people were optimistic about King Liang, she wanted to bet on King Jin more than King Liang.
If she wins the bet, even if she is just a concubine at first, once King Jin becomes a great treasure, and if she can get some of King Jin's favor, King Jin will not treat her lightly.
At that time, as a concubine in the harem and the pillow of King Jin, can her family still abandon her?
Thinking of this, her little white eyes were filled with shrewdness and calculation.
But how to win the heart of a person whose thoughts are in the hands of others is obviously a problem.
Although she usually takes advantage of her beauty, competing with the most beautiful woman in the capital is tantamount to seeking death.
But if she remembered correctly, those who had interacted with this most beautiful woman in the past only said that she was an arrogant and domineering person.
She is exactly the opposite of the other person, and perhaps this is her advantage.
After all, there is no man who doesn't cheat.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Susu's face.
When she opened the door to the room, the maids who were already lying on the bed chatting and laughing all suddenly fell silent after seeing Cheng Susu.
Cheng Susu ignored their reactions and only held the half-bunch of magnolia flowers left in her arms and placed them in the water glass beside her bed.
Then she carried a copper basin to wash herself with face water.
Seeing her acting like she was okay, several other people in the room couldn't help but wink at each other.
After she went out, a maid couldn't help but said, "She actually came back alive? Could Your Highness let her go to the study?"
"You said that she looks so weak and charming that she can't take care of herself. Could it be that His Highness Prince Jin just sees her beauty and is reluctant to do anything to her. I think men seem to like her."
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be an advantage for her?"
"I think it's impossible for His Highness Prince Jin to fall in love with her. Our princess is already so beautiful. Compared with our princess, this woman is simply boring. How could His Highness fall in love with her?"
"Okay, it's all out of the question, so please stop saying a few words. After all, she is the person brought back by the princess, and her origins are unknown. If you don't like her, you can openly mess with her like this. If she has a trouble-loving temperament, How can you please please the princess?"
After hearing this sentence, the room finally became silent again.
Cheng Susu, who was holding the copper basin, returned to her original posture. She opened the door calmly and came in again.
But before turning off the lights, she said quietly, "I turned off the lights, do any of you want to get up?"
The room was silent and no one answered her question, but she didn't care and just blew out the light.
"Jiaojiao? Jiaojiao?"
Jiang Nianjiao was sleeping drowsily when she heard someone calling her name.
She opened her eyes hazily, thinking it was Prince Jin calling her. She was about to speak, but suddenly realized that the person speaking seemed to be a woman?
woman?
Thinking of this, Jiang Nianjiao opened her eyes completely, and she looked at him lightly.
Then she saw the woman smiling gently towards her.
The woman was born with a similar face to her.
In the painting that Concubine Yuxian left for her, her mother's appearance when she was young looked exactly like her.
So did she meet her mother?
But didn’t her mother die in childbirth when she was born?
Or is she still dreaming?
Thinking of this, Jiang Nianjiao felt a little relieved.
"Jiaojiao? I am your mother."
The other party's words confirmed Jiang Nianjiao's suspicion.
"I think when you see me, I may no longer be in this world, but my daughter, I still want to tell you that you do not belong to this world. Everything here is illusion. You must quickly break this illusion and get out of it. Come out. I'm waiting for you in reality."
"What is reality? What is a dream?" Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but ask.
The woman only showed a gentle smile and said, "Dreams are reality, reality is dreams."
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao suddenly remembered the scene she had dreamed about several times.
