"Aren't you surprised?"
Listening to the other party's questioning, Jian Yu asked: "As Tang Fu's former confidant, is Young Master Rong surprised?"
Zhou Jinyan replied meaningfully: "It's really not surprising."
"But I can't be regarded as Tang Fu's confidant." Zhou Jinyan leaned back and imitated Jian Yu's relaxed posture and continued: "Miss Jian, no, I should call you Princess Jing now. Princess Jing is a bit older." But don’t worry, I am the person with the strongest martial arts around Tang Fu. If she sends someone here, I will have enough strength to protect you. After all,”
Zhou Jinyan didn't say the rest, but Jian Yu silently added in her mind - it still has value.
Hearing what Zhou Jinyan said, Jian Yu knew something in her mind. Before she came, she thought of going to the emperor for help. This was a helpless move and there was no other way.
On the premise of saving one's life, let everything else go, including Zhou Jinyan's side.
Because once someone sent by the emperor came to Prince Jing's Mansion to protect her, Rong Xiao would definitely not be able to get close to her, and she would not be able to appease the other person. It would be extremely troublesome for her if this person made a fuss and took out the love hairpin.
Listening to Zhou Jinyan's words, there are not many experts around Tang Fu, and no one else can beat him, which makes Jian Yu feel relieved.
First of all, if Tang Fu wanted to assassinate her, it would be impossible to find people in the Jianghu. When the court investigates, it will be easy to focus on her. If this is eliminated, the only people around her who can be used are people like Rong Xiao.
He must be a confidant to ensure that if the assassination fails or succeeds, she will not be implicated.
None of the other confidants are as strong as Zhou Jinyan in martial arts. The other party can keep him by sending only one of his confidants. How many people can Tang Fu have? If it happens too often, she will tie her hands and think that she has experts here, so she won't dare to send anyone.
Now the other party doesn't know that the confidant she sent for the first time has betrayed her! It can be seen that Tang Fu really wanted to kill her, and the people she sent were all the most powerful ones.
"Mr. Rong, this eight-treasure duck is not bad, it's better than the ones in restaurants outside~"
Jian Yu smiled and pushed another plate of dishes over. At this moment, Zhou Jinyan was no longer an assassin to be eliminated in Jian Yu's eyes, but a savior, an important... tool man who played an important role.
Zhou Jinyan cooperatively picked up a duck leg. After eating half of it, he frowned as if he had thought of something and said, "I am now a sweeper outside the court. The servant's room is in the gatehouse of the side courtyard. If an assassin comes over, he may not notice it."
"Simple, I will promote you to second manager tomorrow."
The courtyard where the steward lives is in the front yard, but in fact it is only a high wall and a pond away from the back house.
This is an obstacle that is difficult for ordinary people to overcome, but for Zhou Jinyan, who has a high level of martial arts, he can easily overcome it by raising his body and making a leap in Qinggong.
Jian Yu also has her own Xiao Jiujiu in her heart. The only person living in that courtyard is Butler Song, who has no dealings with Jian Yu. She arranged Zhou Jinyan there to protect herself and monitor the other party's movements.
Furthermore, the Dog Assassin has such a high-spirited attitude that he wants to be an official. If he is asked to work as a sweeper for a long time, he will easily have a rebellious mentality. It is better to arrange a second manager directly.
Without the real power in the government and being able to manage things independently, you can still be a "tool man", killing three birds with one stone!
And Zhou Jinyan also got a result that satisfied him. He became the second manager personally promoted by the princess. In the eyes of the people in the mansion, he must become the princess's confidant. This status makes it easier to act.
Before coming, what Zhou Jinyan wanted to do was to pressure Jian Yu to hurry up and donate money to the official. When the time comes, Jian Yu can't handle it by herself, so she will ask Mrs. Jian for help. Zhou Jinyan already knows that the grandfather Jian Yu mentioned before is not possible. , is a situation where the relationship has been severed.
So in the end, the only person Jian Yu could turn to was Taifu Jian. For the sake of his beloved granddaughter, Taifu Jian created a fifth-rank official to send him away, which was better than angering him. He believed that Taifu Jian would choose the former.
As long as Taifu Jian makes a move, he can find a breakthrough. If Taifu Jian has nothing to do with the incident in Bianbei, he can also see the situation of other officials in the court through Taifu Jian's actions.
The plan was perfect, but after seeing Jian Yu, Zhou Jinyan changed his mind.
He inexplicably felt that the other party might not go to Jian Taifu, and he had infiltrated the Jian family as Jian Yu's confidant. With this status, it would be better to check other officials and use it as a leverage!
When they met that night, the two of them had a great time as guest and host, and sent Zhou Jinyan away. Jian Yu sat back on the imperial concubine's bed and found that the entire table of dishes had been eaten by the other party.
The corner of Jian Yu's mouth twitched, and she complained in her heart, this person couldn't make money by talking about things, right?
The next day, before entering the palace, Jian Yu issued an order to promote Rong Er, who was sweeping the floor at the door, to second steward, causing an uproar in the palace.
No, why did this newly bought boy suddenly turn over? The position of second manager is not low! Everyone in the mansion once again saw how capricious the princess was, and she promoted whoever she wanted.
The housekeeper's face turned dark with anger.
Wei Bai was also dissatisfied. Is the master just like this? !
For his own future, Wei Bai thought that he had to find an opportunity to mention it to his master. As the second manager, he should also take care of his old subordinate. He wanted to be the patrol captain of the mansion!
Jian Yu doesn't care what happens in the house. She has just learned a big news at this moment. Prince Jing has a young prince!
Jian Yu, who talked to Zhou Jinyan very late last night, woke up the next day looking pale and a bit weak. She did it on purpose. She should be so haggard and sad after Prince Jing's death.
After entering the palace, Jian Yu first went to pay homage to the emperor. The emperor did not stand as queen. Sitting on either side of him were Concubine Liu and Concubine Xi. They were the mothers of the second and third princes.
The emperor praised Jian Yu in front of the two concubines and gave her a reward, which made Jian Yu feel proud.
Just when Jian Yu felt that the time was about to thank her and leave, the emperor changed the subject. First he sighed, and then said: "Jin Yan adopted an adopted son in Bianbei, and wrote a letter to invite the crown prince. On the way Running around, yesterday's discount came into my hands."
"Princess Jing, what do you think of this piece of information?"
How to see, she sees with her eyes!
Jian Yu knew that the emperor definitely wanted to fulfill Prince Jing's last wish, but as a mother and concubine, she had to be eloquent and perfect. As someone who was obsessed with Prince Jing, she had to agree.
"Your Majesty has handed me the seal. This is what Your Majesty wishes. Naturally, I hope that His Majesty will fulfill his wish. I will definitely fulfill my duties as a legitimate mother and teach you well..."
Jian Yu said a lot of beautiful words, and the emperor's eyes became more and more kind. He was extremely satisfied with Jian Yu, his sister-in-law, and he knew everything about her!
Others don't know, but Jian Yu knows that Prince Jing is not dead! Even if she had a hundred courages, she would not dare to overstep her authority and refuse!
There is very little description of Prince Jing in the original work, let alone the so-called young prince. Does the emperor mean to bring the young prince back from Bianbei to teach him?
Jian Yu had a headache just thinking about the children who grew up in the military camp in the north. They must be difficult to manage!
By the way, when did Prince Jing announce that he was alive and returned to Shengjing? She didn't want to face the naughty kid. Jian Yu was afraid that she couldn't control her hands and wanted to deal with him.
On the way to Ci'an Palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother, Empress Jian Yu realized that she seemed to have forgotten to ask how old the young prince was!
