The wind is blowing

Rhinoceros Town is a very ordinary one among the many small towns around Jinling, and it can be said to be very deserted at ordinary times.In the early morning of this day, before the various shops and stalls on the street had opened, Rhino Town had already welcomed a special guest.

The bearer raised the curtain of the sedan chair, and a woman came out, it was Qin Banruo who was a little embarrassed in front of King Yu recently.I saw her entering a snack bar, standing in the middle of the store, turning her head and looking around.Seeing that there was no target he was looking for, he asked the boss who came up to him:

"Fourth sister isn't there?"

The smile froze on the boss's face, but only for a moment, he returned to normal, and replied naturally:

"Girl, we don't have any fourth sister here."

Qin Banruo didn't pay attention to the boss's words, but started looking around in the small shop by himself.Seeing her like this, the boss couldn't do anything, so he said:

"Girl, don't be like this, come with me."

Qin Banruo nodded and followed the boss into the backyard.There is only a curtain between the backyard and the front hall. Two tall red pomegranates are planted in the middle, with heavy fruits hanging between the green leaves. A woman is standing in the courtyard.

"Fourth sister."

"Prajna, sit down."

That fourth sister looks very young in appearance, with delicate skin and graceful features, even though she is clothed with hairpins, she still cannot hide her charm.

Such a stunning beauty lived in seclusion in this quiet town for some reason.

From their subsequent conversations, it is not difficult to know that this woman is Qin Banruo's senior sister, the fourth apprentice of Princess Xuanji, who is good at seductive arts, and even entered the top three in Langya Pavilion's beauty list when she was young, but she has long since retired. for many years.

The fourth sister doesn't want to go back to the precarious days, she likes her quiet and comfortable life now.However, seeing Prajna pleading hard, she really couldn't bear to refuse her request.

Before the master died, after passing on his mantle to Banruo, he indeed asked her to take care of Banruo.Now that Prajna is begging to come to her door, she will help her again.

Sighing helplessly, the fourth sister said to her resignedly:

"Well, in view of the friendship between you and my sister for many years, I will help you one last time."

After Qin Banruo said so much, what he wanted was Fourth Sister's words, and he immediately beamed with joy.

Here, Qin Banruo and the Fourth Sister made an appointment for the next day's meeting time and place. In Su's house in Beijing, Xiao Jingyan was also called over by a message from Mei Changsu.

"I called you over in such a hurry today, mainly because I wanted to tell you about the assassin that day."

Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingyan sat facing each other, and while he stated his purpose for today, he filled their teacups with clean water.

"Oh? The matter of the assassin has come to an end?"

Hearing Mei Changsu's words, Xiao Jingyan was a little surprised, and secretly sighed in his heart, Jiangzuomeng's movements were really not ordinary fast.

Seeing his expression, Mei Changsu guessed what was going on in his heart, smiled lightly, and explained:

"Actually, it didn't take much effort. It was a coincidence that when the assassin ran away in a panic that day, she ran to my side, but was caught by Fei Liu as a villain. After two days of investigation and interrogation, I also asked a lot of news."

"Who is she?"

Afterwards, Xiao Jingyan thought about the possibility of the assassin's identity in private, and even made an in-depth investigation.But unfortunately, not many useful things were found.

Regarding his question, Mei Changsu did not answer him right away, but raised his eyes to look at him, and asked slowly:

"Jingyan, before you talk about the matter, please answer me a question. How much do you know about the identity of Princess Jing, Yichen's birth mother?"

"princess?"

Xiao Jingyan didn't know what Mei Changsu's intention was for asking this question, but since the other party asked, he still searched the few memories about that woman in his mind.

"Back then, the Li family was married by the emperor, but the marriage was so sudden that the imperial decree came down, and the mother only knew that the emperor had made such a decision. In addition, at that time, Qi The incident happened not long ago in the Wangfu and Linfu, and I didn't have the heart to deal with her at all. If it wasn't for the accident later, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have Yichen. As for Li's identity, I only know that she is an outsider. I don’t know anything about the daughter of a fourth-rank official. Why, is there any problem?”

"There are some problems, but now it seems that this matter can be regarded as big or small, it all depends on your own attitude. Your princess, she is from the Skater tribe, and according to the investigation, she was married to you back then. , is also being manipulated behind the scenes."

With that said, Mei Changsu told Xiao Jingyan all the things that Lin Chen told him that day.During this period, Xiao Jingyan's expression also kept changing because of the truth.

"Shuazu, Xiajiang...they are behind everything."

In his previous life, after he became the emperor, his attitude towards the Hua people was no different from his attitude towards the people of Daliang.Many years have passed, and they have almost been assimilated by the Liang people, not to mention the remnants of the real ulterior motives, which have also been eradicated by the Jiangzuo League.Therefore, he didn't do anything special, but let him develop naturally.

However, according to what Xiaoshu said, it seems that Yichen in this life still has half of the blood of the Hua clan in his body.If Yichen's identity is exposed at that time, I don't know if there will be any danger.

"Xia Jiang did this, what exactly is he trying to do?"

Mei Changsu raised his teacup and took a sip of water. The question Xiao Jingyan asked was something he had been thinking about for the past two days.It's just a pity that there are too few clues at present, and he can't fully see through the secrets.

"I don't know what Xia Jiang thinks now, but you should be the one who should pay attention right now. The order I got from Liluo was to get rid of you unobtrusively, but it can be seen without Yichen. There must be his purpose, so Yichen is still safe for the time being. But you are different, once he fails, there is no guarantee that he will have a follow-up, so you must be careful when you go in and out recently."

"Don't worry, I'm safe in public. He won't bear the charge of murdering the prince. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to go out of his way to set up such a conspiracy against Brother Qi."

Xiao Jingyan is actually not completely inexperienced with this kind of insidious means.As an emperor in his previous life, in order to carry out reforms, he once became a thorn in the side of some people and a thorn in his flesh.There were also one or two unavoidable hits, so his body weakened quickly after reaching the back.But at that time, he didn't care about these things, so later, when Yichen just came of age, he passed away.

I thought I would go after Xiaoshu just like that, but who knew that she was reborn and came back here.This time, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and I was hit by a moment of inattention.But Xiao Jingyan was sure that if Xia Jiang wanted to use the same method to deal with him in the future, it would be absolutely impossible to succeed.
