The First Traitor [Rebirth]

The murderous approach made Yuan Jing vigilant, and when she turned her head, she saw a masked assassin rushing out of the crowd towards her.Because Yue Xianliang's wife grabbed the hem of her clothes, she couldn't dodge in time, seeing that the knife was about to fall on her body, Mai Ran quickly cut Yuan Jing's clothes and pushed her away.She took several steps back again and again until she hit the wall before she stabilized her figure.

With a sound of "铛", Mai Ran blocked the killer's knife, "Young Master, be careful."

It's just that there was not only one killer. When the crowd was fleeing in chaos, many killers with the same clothes jumped out from all around, and they seemed to take their lives directly.Mai Ran took out the first killer in two or three strokes, then went to pick up the knife that was very close to Yuan Jing, and shouted: "Master, go!"

It turned out to be quite calm, after all, she had been to the guillotine in her previous life, and she had personally experienced death. At this moment, she calmly dodged the oncoming knife.She saw the mother and child who were stunned by the chaotic scene, and the child was about to be trampled by the chaotic crowd. Just as she was about to go to help him, another killer came to kill him.

Mai Ran kicked away the killer beside Yuan Jing, opened the way for Yuan Jing, and said to Yuan Jing again: "Let's go!"

Madam Yue came back to her senses and hugged her child, but Yuan thought that even if she was not afraid of death, she couldn't die in vain, so she let Mai Ran open the way for her.

Worried about an ambush, Mai Ran didn't dare to let Yuan Jing leave by himself, so he took out a bamboo tube and sent a signal to the sky.When those people saw that Mai Ran was looking for a helper, they didn't dare to go after him with all their strength. Only one person shouted coldly in a low voice: "Kill Yuan Jing before the rescue comes!"

At this moment, a group of officers and soldiers appeared in front of them, and the man on horseback ordered: "Hurry up and protect Master Yuan!"

Some of the guards protected Yuan Jing heavily, while the rest of the guards started a fight with those killers.When the man on the horse saw Yuan Jing, he got off his horse and handed a handkerchief to Yuan Jing: "Master Yuan is frightened!"

Yuan actually glanced at him, saw the imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, and understood that he thought he was so scared that he was sweating profusely and needed to wipe it with a handkerchief.

He took the handkerchief and wiped his hands, his face was a bit ugly, Yuan pretended not to see it, and asked, "Where do you work?"

"The next official is Yi Weizheng of the Eastern Palace."

"Oh?" Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows, "Why is His Royal Highness the Prince's personal sword guard here?" There is a personal sword guard next to the Prince, unless the Prince is on patrol or doing business as a Prince, he will be protected by the Imperial Forest Army, otherwise In private, they are all protected by the guards with swords.

The man said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out on a tour in disguise. He happened to hear that someone had assassinated Mr. Yuan, so he ordered his subordinates to rush over with his troops. Fortunately, the subordinates arrived in time, and Mr. Yuan was fine."

It is a little shameless to calmly attribute the credit for being safe and sound to himself.

"Well, what a coincidence." Yuan actually returned the handkerchief to him, and said, "Since His Royal Highness saved my life, why don't I go and thank you? Please lead the way."

The man smiled and said, "Naturally, Mr. Yuan, please!"

It seemed that it was expected that Yuan would come. The prince was waiting for her at a restaurant that she often went to. Although the prince was there, the business of the restaurant was still as usual, but the second floor and above were heavily guarded, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter.

How could this be a private interview on Weibo?I thought to myself.

When the prince saw Yuan Jing, a smile appeared on his face: "Yuan Shidu, my palace has waited for you!"

"Your Majesty has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The Prince's attendant brought the food and drink, and the Prince said: "The original attendant escaped from the tiger's mouth, so I should drink a cup of Dingjing tea. But this is a restaurant, and drinking tea is not unavoidable. I'd better replace the tea with wine and have a few drinks with me. how?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such an elegant mood, I will accompany you as an official."

The prince poured a glass of wine and took a sip, and then showed a very intoxicated expression. After a long time, he was surprised: "Oh, look at me, I forgot to ask Yuan Shidu to take a seat! Yuan Shidu, please sit down!"

Yuan actually smiled, didn't mind the appearance that he deliberately gave her a bad impression, and sat down beside her.The prince personally poured her a glass of wine, and then said: "I have always wanted to have a few drinks with Yuan Shidu, but I never had the chance, and now I am destined."

"Today, His Highness the Crown Prince saved the lower official, so why not ask the lower official to treat him this time, although it is difficult to repay His Highness the Crown Prince's life-saving grace, but let the lower official express his feelings?" Yuan Jing said.

"Hey, how can you let Yuan Shidu treat you? If Yuan Shidu wants to repay his kindness, there are other ways." The prince said with a smile.

The wine glass was brought to his mouth, but Yuan actually used the glass to stop him, showing a mocking smile, and immediately drank a glass of wine and said: "Naturally. I don't know how His Royal Highness wants the next official to repay the favor?"

The prince's smile froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He naturally hoped that Yuan Jing would be restrained by him all the time because of his kindness, but Yuan Jing's meaning was clearly: You save my life, and I will do one thing for you , From then on, we will never owe each other!

"This man is so thick-skinned!" The prince cursed secretly, but in Yuan Jing's heart, he was similar.

Bargaining with Yuan Jing seems to reveal his purpose, and the prince can only follow Yuan Jing's intention: "Yuan Shidu, I know why my father asked you to help me build a summer resort?"

Everyone knew that it was to supervise whether the prince used silver or materials for other purposes, even if the emperor was very happy because the prince offered medicine.But it was about the Mountain Resort, and the emperor didn't dare to play games. He didn't want to live in the Mountain Resort, and the beams suddenly collapsed.

"Because the lower official is the son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and has an indissoluble bond with the Ministry of Industry. So I let the lower official go and have a look. In the future, I will compile the national codes, national history, and even the records of various priests, so that I can do my duty more!" Yuan actually Repeat the emperor's words.

The prince once again secretly scolded her for being shameless and cunning, but he still smiled on his face: "Naturally, but regarding the construction, the original attendant must have read the relevant records and documents related to the construction of Fengtian Pavilion. Someone has to do it. The original attendant is busy with official duties and has to go to the Summer Resort, I’m afraid it will be too tiring, why not stay in the Imperial Academy, and wait for the records and documents to be sent back after the Summer Resort is completed.”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has repeatedly discouraged the officials from going to the Summer Resort, is it..." Yuan Jing looked at the Crown Prince with sharp eyes, and the Crown Prince felt guilty for a while, thinking that he should not have arranged for someone to save her just now, but instead She got rid of it!

"Since it's His Highness the Crown Prince's intention, then the officials will naturally follow through." Yuan Jing laughed suddenly.

When the news of Yuan's assassination reached Yuan Mansion, Yuan Ye was startled, and soon the news that the crown prince happened to save her reached his ears again. He pressed his brows, feeling that the matter was not simple.

When Yuan Jing returned to the mansion, he inquired about this matter, but this time Yuan Jing didn't say anything clearly, he could guess that the prince was playing tricks again.I'm afraid it wasn't Yuan Jing who was going to supervise the Summer Resort, and the prince was afraid that he had stolen the silver and supplies for other purposes and would be discovered by Yuan Jing, so he designed such a thing so that Yuan Jing owed him kindness and had to listen to him. order to do the work.

"Then do you want to resign from the emperor?" Yuan Ye asked.

"If I ask the emperor to resign, the emperor will ask why, and how should I explain it?"

Yuan Ye thought of a compromise, and went to ask the emperor for an order: "There are many omissions in the works of the Fourth Division of the Ministry of Industry. Please send someone to edit them..." The general idea is that there are many books in the Ministry of Industry. There are gaps, and the correction of these books requires the help of professional people.The Hanlin Academy has all kinds of classics from the country, and there are people with great knowledge, so they are invited to compile and revise them properly.

The emperor stroked his beard, knowing what he was thinking, and he was afraid that he did not intend to cultivate Yuan Jing in the Ministry of Industry.Weighing the pros and cons of supervising the Summer Resort and the various books of the tinkering department, he agreed, and he never mentioned the matter of supervising the Summer Resort.

The prince breathed a sigh of relief, and put his courage back into his stomach.

Two days later, when the emperor summoned Yuan Jing as his attendant, and asked about her assassination, Yuan Jing said: "Those assassins died, and those who were wounded escaped. So far, nothing has been found."

"How does this Yamen work? Why haven't we found any clues yet?!" The emperor was displeased.

"It's no wonder the yamen. After all, when they arrived, the assassins all fled. Moreover, these assassins were plainly dressed. Once they hid in the crowd, they looked like ordinary people. They knew how to deceive others." Yuan Jing said, and changed the subject again. "But when it comes to this yamen, I heard something interesting."

"Oh? What's interesting?" asked the emperor.

"Chen Qi passed by a medicinal material shop in Fangshi a few days ago, and found that the shopkeeper had a dispute with the doctor. After inquiring, I learned that the medicinal materials in this medicinal material shop limit the amount of medicine taken by each person. But that amount is simply not enough. Not enough to cure a sick person."

"Why don't you go to another house to get the medicine?" The emperor thought that Yuan would have something to say.

"Because it's not just this one medicinal herb shop in the capital, it's all herbal medicinal shops, including the medical center!"

The emperor frowned: "Go on and on."

"The minister asked the shopkeeper, why is this so? The shopkeeper replied, because the yamen issued an order that they are not allowed to buy medicinal materials for others. The minister asked again, is there any document from the yamen? The shopkeeper said, there is no. The minister was surprised , since there is no document, and there is no basis for speaking, who will believe it? The shopkeeper said that the magistrate of the capital invited them to go and personally told them to do so. "

The emperor's complexion was very bad: "It's unreasonable, the word of mouth of the magistrate can be used as a document? Who gave him the power?!"

"I'm also surprised, so I said, since there are no documents, then just make a living as usual."

The emperor nodded, Yuan Jing said again: "Unexpectedly, five days ago, the shopkeeper of the herbal medicine store was arrested by the Yamen, saying that there was something wrong with the dosage of his medicines, which caused the patients who drank the medicines to be poisoned and their condition worsened. "

"Oh?"

"The yamen is very good at handling cases, I think, I shouldn't deliberately frame the shopkeeper just because he violated the prefect's order!"

It turned out that this was cleverly said, and it seemed to separate these two things, but in fact it involved these two things together.Sure enough, the emperor heard the words and ordered Liu Xiao to say, "Go and find out what's going on!"

After Liu Xiao took the order, he would naturally order people to investigate the matter. The emperor said again: "You haven't said why every medicinal material shop is not allowed to continue to operate as usual."

Yuan actually knew why, but she didn't say anything, pretending to be confused: "This minister doesn't know, after all, the shopkeeper doesn't know, and it's inconvenient for me to meddle in other people's business, so I didn't investigate."

The emperor smiled and sent her away.

A day later, the emperor threw a memorial of impeachment in front of the prince.
