After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is extremely lively today.

As the groom, Jiang Ci Yan was forced to drink a lot of wine by his colleagues.

Jiang Ci'an was thinking about something and didn't drink much.

Jiang Ci Jin stood beside his eldest brother, blocking the wine for him from time to time.

Xiao Yujing sat silently at the top seat.

Today is Jiang Ci Yan's big day. Although other officials did not dare to toast him, he still drank two glasses of wine when Jiang Ci Yan toasted him.

Thinking of Jiang Ruoli's cold attitude towards him when he came here, Xiao Yujing felt a little annoyed.

He stood up and went outside to get some fresh air.

When Jiang Ci'an saw him leave, he quickly got up and followed him.

Xiao Yujing walked to the small garden next to him and found Jiang Ruoli feeding the fish by the pond.

"pear......"

Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Ruoli saw him.

Then, as if he had seen a monster, he put down the fish food and left in a hurry.

Something is very wrong.

Especially the silly maid beside her, her expression was even more frightened.

Xiao Yujing became even more annoyed.

Just as he was about to catch up, someone called him from behind.

"Your Highness."

Xiao Yujing turned around and saw Jiang Ci'an standing behind him.

I don't know why, but I feel a little guilty.

"What's the matter, General Jiang?"

"Your Highness, I have something important to report." Jiang Ci'an's face was serious.

Xiao Yujing regained his composure.

"Let's go and find a quiet place."

The two came to the backyard corridor.

Jiang Ci'an looked around and made sure there was no one else around, then he spoke quietly.

"Your Highness, a group of spies from the Northern Xin Kingdom entered Kyoto a few days ago."

Xiao Yujing nodded.

He knew about this matter and was also investigating this group of people.

"A few days ago, I caught up with a spy, but he had been killed. I found a note on him. Two days later, the bodies of five more spies were sent outside the military camp."

Xiao Yujing frowned.

"Do you know who did it?"

"I speculate that it was done by the underworld gang Xuanying Sect."

Jiang Ci'an took out a dried gardenia and a note from his arms and handed them to Xiao Yujing.

"This note was found on the person of the first spy."

And then the five men had nothing on them, which meant that they were heading for the military camp.

Xiao Yujing opened the note and saw the word "Yin" written on it.

"I don't know which day this Yin hour is, so I have increased patrols in the capital in the past few days."

"We have also sent people to check the paper in every shop. Paper is so common that students from ordinary families come to buy it every day. If we really have to check every shop, it would be a bit troublesome."

Moreover, those who dare to hide the spies of Beixin Kingdom are definitely not ordinary people.

He should have reported this matter to His Majesty, but he heard that His Majesty has been in poor health recently, and these things will only make His Majesty more exhausted.

The affairs of the court are now mainly controlled by the prince. Even if the prince does not come today, he will still have to go to the palace to report.

Xiao Yujing stroked the note in his hand.

"Maybe 'Yin' doesn't refer to a time, but a person's name."

Name?

Which young man in Kyoto has the character "寅" in his name?

Jiang Ci'an thought carefully about it.

Suddenly I thought of a person, his face turned pale.

The third prince, Xiao Yuheng, was given the courtesy name Jingyin.

"Your Highness..."

Isn't the Third Prince in the Imperial Clan House? How can he establish a relationship with the Northern Xin Kingdom?

"Maybe you can start with the people around him." Xiao Yujing said lightly.

His Highness the Third Prince?

Jiang Ci'an's eyes flashed slightly and he looked at Xiao Yujing.

"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness." Jiang Ci'an bowed.

Xiao Yujing gently crushed the dried gardenia in his hand.

Xuanying Gate?

interesting......

Jiang Ruoli was strolling around the yard bored.

There are too many people in the mansion today. She doesn't want to go to the front yard with the women. She just wants to hide away in peace.

Fuguo went to the front yard to get something, and Jiang Ruoli strolled to the backyard alone.

Jiang Ruoli was about to speak when she saw Jiang Ci'an standing in the corridor with his back to her.

"two......"

As he walked forward, he found Xiao Yujing standing opposite Jiang Ci'an.

She quickly fell silent, turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, I heard a steady sound of footsteps coming from behind.

She ran away.

As soon as he raised his foot, a hand grabbed the back of his neck.

"What are you hiding from?"

Xiao Yujing's voice came from behind him.

"I didn't hide..." Jiang Ruoli's eyes were vague.

Xiao Yujing carried her to a low wall, turned her around and made her stand face to face.

"Not hiding?"

"Then what did you see Gupao?"

Xiao Yujing's tone was somewhat displeased.

Jiang Ruoli lowered her head and said nothing.

See, he really hates himself!

Xiao Yujing looked at her like this and sighed softly.

"How did I offend you?"

The voice sounded a little lonely.

Jiang Ruoli whispered: "What do you mean you provoke me? Didn't I provoke you..."

"What did you say?" Xiao Yujing didn't hear clearly.

"I said."

Jiang Ruoli took a deep breath, raised her head and looked at Xiao Yujing.

"Didn't I offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Anyway, it's better to cut the Gordian knot than to get hurt when you stick your head out.

Xiao Yujing was stunned.

"When did you offend me?"

Jiang Ruoli curled her lips, "Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that himself? He told me to stay away from Princess Yuyao. It's obvious that he doesn't like me and Princess Yuyao to be together..."

Xiao Yujing was speechless.

It turned out to be a misunderstanding.

"Yuyao has a lively personality and sometimes acts without restraint. I'm afraid she might hurt you by accident."

It was rare for Xiao Yujing to explain.

"I don't..." I don't dislike you.

"Really?" Jiang Ruoli was skeptical.

"Really." Xiao Yujing assured.

"Then Fuguo said..."

"say what?"

Jiang Ruoli shook her head. "Forget it, it's nothing."

It seems that she misunderstood.

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Xiao Yujing breathed a sigh of relief.

He stretched out his hand, took out a rectangular wooden box from his arms and handed it to Jiang Ruoli.

"Is this... for me?"

Jiang Ruoli looked at the wooden box in front of her.

Xiao Yujing smiled slightly and said, "Open it and take a look."

Jiang Ruoli took the wooden box and opened it carefully.

For a moment, the light from the box almost blinded her.

In the wooden box lay a pure gold tassel hairpin with the head decorated with sparkling rubies. It was of novel style and very luxurious and gorgeous.

Although it is gold jewelry, it does not look vulgar or old-fashioned at all.

Not bad.

Jiang Ruoli nodded.

It suits her taste very well.

[Apart from anything else, His Highness is quite thoughtful when it comes to giving gifts. ]

Xiao Yujing burst out laughing.

"Like it?"

Jiang Ruoli nodded frantically.

Of course I like it!

Gold plus gems, how valuable this is!

"I put it on for you."

After saying this, without waiting for Jiang Ruoli to react, Xiao Yujing picked up the hairpin from the box and gently inserted it into the top of her head.

After putting on the hairpin, Xiao Yujing put his hand on Jiang Ruoli's head and rubbed it.

As hairy as ever.

Jiang Ruoli looked up at him.

The joy in her eyes was dazzling against the backdrop of the ruby.

Xiao Yujing's Adam's apple rolled.

The palm on top of her head slowly moved down and gently covered her eyes.

"Li'er, don't look at me like that."

I can't help myself...
