Princess Xie Yuan stayed by her side for a whole day and night, curled up by the bed. When Shen Zhiyi woke up, she pulled away the broken hair from her face and covered her with a cloak.
Shen Zhiyi sat in the courtyard, admiring the gorgeous sea of flowers, gently stroking the hairpin given by Jiang Yubai in her hand. The sunlight fell on her slender fingers, reflecting dazzling light.
It was only the beginning of March, and it stands to reason that the camellias would not be blooming so beautifully. Perhaps it was because it was getting hot earlier this year, so Shen Zhiyi didn't take it to heart.
Looking at the hairpin in my hand, I felt a little lost...
I can't help but think that according to Jiang Yubai's temperament, he must have investigated the assassin's origin and the mastermind behind it. The people in charge of the Jinyi Guards and the Supervisor of Ceremonies all respected him.
Sure enough, power is the highest weapon. She has to climb higher and further than Jiang Yubai.
The princess was also nearby at the time. If the villain had any accomplices and knew the princess's identity, she might also be in danger.
Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and the petals fell gently, like a rain of flowers. Shen Zhiyi closed her eyes, feeling this gift from nature, and felt an inexplicable sense of peace and tranquility in her heart.
"What are you thinking about?"
Shen Zhiyi was a little distracted.
"How did you come?"
Shen Zhiyi looked at Jiang Yubai who appeared in front of her with some surprise.
"The governor can't come?"
Jiang Yubai was dressed in the official uniform of a royal guard. He was tall and tall, and his deep eyes under his straight nose were staring at Shen Zhiyi.
Shen Zhiyi denied guiltily: "No..."
Really, he appeared so suddenly without making any sound. Do you want to scare someone to death?
She remembered that she was clearly thinking about him just now, right?
Jiang Yubai looked at her suspiciously.
Shen Zhiyi felt numb at the sight of him and tightened her cloak: "Why are you here?"
"Come here to remind you that the two bastards in the Shen family's eldest room may not be a good person."
"I know that they all look forward to the death of our family, but they are reluctant to part with the title of General Protector of the Shen family. Unfortunately, they are unable to take it away, so they have to extend their poisonous hands to us juniors who are not familiar with the world.
It can relieve qi and also benefit from it. "
When Shen Zhiyi said this, his tone was calm, not like what a seventeen-year-old girl could say. She was so calm that it was scary.
"However, this is the first time I see you wearing the official uniform of Jinyiwei. Do you have any tasks to perform?"
"Relieve your anger? Haha~" Jiang Yubai suddenly came close to Shen Zhiyi's ear and whispered: "This governor is here to arrest someone."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yubai suddenly stood up and strode out of the courtyard, leaving behind a tall and straight figure.
"Arrest someone?" Shen Zhiyi was stunned. Who did he come to arrest?
Before Shen Zhiyi could figure it out, she suddenly saw Xian Qing suddenly walking out of the darkness and walking quickly towards Jiang Yubai's back.
"Great Governor." Xianqing walked up to Jiang Yubai respectfully and bowed his hands.
Jiang Yubai stopped and looked at Xianqing, "How is it?"
"It's all solved." Xian Qing nodded slightly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
solved? Shen Zhiyi was shocked, what was solved? Did you deal with those two bastards? Did they take action?
Jiang Yubai turned a blind eye to Shen Zhiyi's surprise and said to Xian Qing, "Take her back."
"Yes." Zhan Qing crossed his long legs, grabbed Shen Zhiyi's arm, and pulled her onto a carriage.
In the dungeon, Shen Runxue and Shen Xuan were tortured to a state of disgrace. They cursed the traitor who betrayed them, "Governor Jiang, what evidence do you have to prove that it was our two brothers and sister who instigated him to harm Shen Zhiyi!"
"Evidence?" Jiang Yubai sneered, took out a thin book from his arms, and threw it on the dirty table in front of the two of them.
"This is the witness you were looking for. He admitted everything, including the fact that you instructed him to assassinate Shen Zhiyi."
As Jiang Yubai spoke, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and put it against Shen Xuan's neck.
"Great Governor, please, don't... don't..." Shen Xuan was so frightened that his whole body trembled and tears flew down his face.
"Master Governor, do you only rely on words to do things?" Shen Runxue tried her best to raise her head and looked at Jiang Yubai. Her hands were tied behind her back, and her bruised wrists were covered with bloodstains, but her tone was still tough.
"Of course not," Jiang Yubai's expression was cold, his tone was cold, and he was not moved at all, "Jin Yiwei is not that particular about what he does. Besides, do you think this governor can't find any other evidence?"
He grasped Shen Xuan's neck, with a chill in his eyes, "Or do you think this governor is easy to fool?"
Even the imperial court has never asked about the Wanshengtang black market. This is an area beyond the jurisdiction of the capital, a gray area where black and white meet.
At first, they wanted to refuse Governor Jiang's investigation, but Jiang Yubai swung his sword, split the table in front of him in half, and said coldly: "If you don't cooperate, you will die."
This guy is a lunatic, and it won't be a problem even if he gets promoted here.
Obtained evidence that Shen Runxue and Shen Xuan conspired to commit fratricide.
Jiang Yubai turned around and asked Shen Zhiyi, his tone a little more gentle than before.
"What do you want to do with it?"
Shen Zhiyi said nothing, but looked at the two people in the dungeon calmly. The look in her eyes surprised Jiang Yubai. He thought she would get angry, but he didn't expect her to be so calm.
Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath, turned and walked towards the iron railings of the dungeon, staring at Shen Runxue and Shen Xuan. Her gaze frightened the two of them, and they involuntarily drew back.
"You conspiring to harm me are punishable by death." Shen Zhiyi said slowly, "However, for the sake of my parents, I won't kill you."
Jiang Yubai frowned slightly. He originally thought that Shen Zhiyi would demand severe punishment for the two of them, but he didn't expect that she would let them go so easily.
"But this matter will make a big fuss and everyone will know it. I want everyone in the world to see your face clearly."
Shen Runxue and Shen Xuan looked at her in disbelief. Although they remained silent, the malice in their eyes was unmistakable.
If their ugly faces were exposed to the world, they would be stabbed in the back for the rest of their lives, and they would never be able to turn over.
"I will drive them out of the capital and never come back." Shen Zhiyi said slowly, his voice was not loud, but it made people feel firm.
