After sending Lu Zhizhang away, Zhao Yanzhen followed him to the backyard.
Under the grape vine trellis in the backyard, Jiang Nianjiao was taking a nap on the swing under the vine trellis. The indifferent autumn sunshine shone warmly on her body. XiuShu.com
When the maids saw Zhao Yanzhen coming in, they wanted to wake Jiang Nianjiao up, but Zhao Yanzhen just signaled the maids to be silent, and then he walked to Jiang Nianjiao's side softly.
He didn't do anything, just stared at Jiang Nianjiao quietly.
Now every extra day he spent with Jiang Nianjiao felt like he was having a sweet dream that he didn't want to wake up from.
After all, in his previous life, he had also stayed in Prince Jin's Mansion for many years. At that time, he had lost all his relatives and was kept in seclusion by his father.
He regretted all day long, dominated by hatred and pain.
Now that his relatives were alive and could stay together peacefully with Jiang Nianjiao, he already felt as if he had stolen a hint of sweetness in that sea of bitterness. This sweetness made him unwilling to wake up from it.
Jiang Nianjiao didn't know when she woke up. Seeing Zhao Yanzhen saying nothing in front of her, she couldn't help but smile, "Your Highness, has Lu Zhizhang left?"
Faced with Jiang Nianjiao's inquiry, Zhao Yanzhen nodded cooperatively, "Yes, he left. What do you think he came to see me for?"
Jiang Nianjiao thought for a moment, then whispered, "I think he came to you for the Crested Ibis Zhi."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Nianjiao's guess was so accurate. For a moment, Zhao Yanzhen was stunned on the spot.
"Jiaojiao, how do you know this? Could you be eavesdropping on our conversation?"
Jiang Nianjiao smiled when he heard this and said, "I am also just guessing. After all, isn't the case that bothered him the most? This case was arranged by the emperor himself to preside over. Now that the Minister of Dali Temple is preparing to retire, this is the time. At the critical moment when he was competing for the title of Dali Temple, he wanted to handle this case too much. After all, this case was related to more than just his promotion. And he wanted to handle this case well, without our help. He would have brought the entire capital to justice. Even if I turn over the sky, I still can't find the Crested Ibis."
"And he must be able to figure this out."
"I know Lu Zhizhang very well. Don't look at him as a calm person, as if he doesn't care about anything. In fact, he has great ambitions. Promotion is his ultimate goal. Otherwise, he wouldn't be like this in his previous life. He has become the leader of hundreds of officials at a young age. He has always had no bottom line to achieve his goals. Now he is just here to cooperate with you, and even this has not touched his bottom line. How could he miss this opportunity."
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao mention Lu Zhizhang, Zhao Yanzhen was somewhat disgusted because Jiang Nianjiao had such a deep relationship with such a person.
But he also understood what kind of nightmare Lu Zhizhang was for Jiang Nianjiao.
Now that she can feel such relief, it also means that whether she loves or hates him, she has now completely walked out of Lu Zhizhang's nightmare.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yanzhen couldn't help but smile again.
Jiang Nianjiao saw that Zhao Yanzhen seemed to be crying now and laughing now, so she couldn't help but said, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Naturally, Zhao Yanzhen could not say what he was thinking. He whispered, "I just feel that I am so happy to have my wife by my side. Do you think that if you were not burned to death in the previous life, would we still be able to survive?" Together?"
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, Jiang Nianjiao just smiled and said, "Then you may not think highly of me. After all, your army was slaughtering people in the capital for three days. If he hadn't set the fire, I might have died worse than being burned to death." It's miserable. You might as well live in a certain military camp. Do you think you can still fall in love with me at that time?"
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao mention his revenge from another angle, Zhao Yanzhen couldn't help but show a trace of regret on his face.
"I was indeed too impulsive at the time. I shouldn't have hurt innocent people."
Jiang Nianjiao felt strange on the one hand when she heard that Zhao Yanzhen actually reflected and confessed what happened to her back then. On the other hand, she was also a little curious about Zhao Yanzhen's attitude towards her father.
"Yanzhen, can I ask you something?" Jiang
Nianjiao took the initiative to ask.
Zhao Yanzhen looked at Jiang Nianjiao calmly, "Just tell me what you have to say."
"What I want to say is, in this life, do you still want to overthrow your father's rule?"
Faced with Jiang Nianjiao's question, Zhao Yanzhen calmly said, "It's actually quite good to live without hatred."
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's answer, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but hold Zhao Yanzhen's hand.
Zhao Yanzhen lowered his head and looked at Jiang Nianjiao. He calmly returned to the original topic and said, "Gillian, do you think I should help him do this?"
Facing Zhao Yanzhen's inquiry, Jiang Nianjiao just looked at Zhao Yanzhen calmly, "If you help him, he will most likely aspire to be the minister of Dali Temple. However, he still has the most basic credibility when he cooperates with others, so I I feel that if he sincerely wants to cooperate, there is nothing wrong with us cooperating with him once."
After hearing Jiang Nianjiao's answer, Zhao Yanzhen seemed to have fallen into some kind of deep thought.
At the same time, Cui Qiao came back with the little Zi girl they picked up a few days ago.
As soon as she saw these two people, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but wave to Cui Qiao.
When Cui Qiao saw Jiang Nianjiao waving, she naturally walked over quickly.
"Miss, what are your orders?" Cui Qiao asked.
Jiang Nianjiao just glanced at Xiao Zi beside Cui Qiao and said, "Has Xiao Zi remembered her identity?"
When Jiang Nianjiao asked this, Cui Qiao couldn't help but shook her head in disappointment.
"She is in good health now, but she still can't remember anything. I asked my uncle to show it to her before. My uncle said that she needs to be stimulated by some things related to the amnesia before she has a chance to recover her memory. . So I also took her to those places for stimulation treatment. At that time, she said that she seemed to remember some memories related to the past. I was quite happy at the time, but after a while, no matter where I took her, she But I can’t remember anything anymore.”
Jiang Nianjiao heard this and asked carefully, "What information did Xiao Zi remember?"
This time, Cuiqiao didn't answer. She looked at Zijuan and said, "Little girl Zi, please tell our lady what you remember."
Hearing Cuiqiao's words, Zijuan couldn't help but recall the previous episode again, "I seem to remember that I jumped from a cliff and fell into the Weishui River. It was night, the wind was high and the rain was strong, and a group of people behind me People are still hunting me, and I feel like everything is so scary, and I don’t remember the rest.”
After hearing Zijuan say that she jumped from the top of the Weishui River, Zhao Yan
Xiu Shuwang Zhenbian couldn't help but follow suit. He only whispered, "There is the official road above the Weishui River. There are not many robbers on the official road, especially these days when the government is vigorously cracking down on this matter. I think if something like this happens, If so, it will definitely be recorded."
After saying this, Zhao Yanzhen only whispered, "The official road of that section of the Weishui River is managed by the government of Weishui Town, but typical cases like this are usually reported to Dali Temple. We will arrive around October 20th." Weishui Village, so I think if we go to Dali Temple and ask about October 21st, maybe we can find clues about Xiaozi’s life experience."
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, Jiang Nianjiao's expression also lit up, "You are right."
Zhao Yanzhen then smiled slightly and said, "Do you need me to ask Lu Zhizhang about this?"
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she shook her head, "I think it's useless even if you ask him about this. His investigation into the case of Yunzhou Prefect is already enough for him to drink. How could he have the intention to inquire? other things."
Hearing what Jiang Nianjiao said, Zhao Yanzhen felt that what she said was reasonable, so Zhao Yanzhen couldn't help but whisper, "Then who else can we ask? Zhao Shuhai? In fact, this kid can't ask, but as far as I know You know, this kid has no interest in his current position. His work is basically delegated to others. I suspect that if I ask him, I will be confused."
Jiang Nianjiao smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, I don't need to trouble you. I also have acquaintances in Dali Temple."
"Does your acquaintance
Is it Lu Zhizhang? But do you think it’s appropriate for you to ask him? "
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, Jiang Nianjiao only said, "Your Highness, you must be looking down on me too much. I am also the daughter of Prime Minister Jiang. Can't my father, the prime minister, have a few people from Dali Temple in front of him?"
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Zhao Yanzhen also chuckled, "I forgot about this level, then who are you going to ask at Dali Temple?"
Facing Zhao Yanzhen's question, Jiang Nianjiao just said calmly, "The Minister of Dali Temple was on good terms with my father. When I was young, the Minister of Dali Temple often visited my home, so we are quite familiar with each other. He is now Although he is about to retire and return to his hometown, he is the chief official of Dali Temple after all. I think he must know this. Even if he doesn't know, the Dali Temple Minister still has the key to the case warehouse, so if I ask him, I will definitely not leave empty-handed. Come back, and I think if I go to visit the Minister of Dali Temple in person, the Minister of Dali Temple will not fail to give me this face."
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Zhao Yanzhen only said, "You are still pregnant with the child. I don't want you to walk around. It will be too hard for you."
Jiang Nianjiao looked up at Zhao Yanzhen and said, "I will pay attention to the situation, and it's not just me who is bored at home all day, the baby also says it's boring."
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Zhao Yanzhen just smiled softly, "Okay, since you insist, there's nothing I can do, but you have to let Cui Qiao and the others follow you."
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she naturally nodded cooperatively.
Then she looked at Zijuan and said, "Xiao Zi, it doesn't matter if you can't remember. We can find out who you are by checking. When you return to your relatives, I think you will be faster." Remember what happened before."
After hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Zijuan just thanked Jiang Nianjiao gratefully.
