The dilapidated village was full of animal feces, and an old man drove his flock of sheep past them, bringing a pungent smell, Jiang Zhichu frowned and walked quickly.

They walked to a thatched hut and stopped. The wall had already started to fall off, and the dilapidated wooden door made a "squeak" sound when it was gently blown by the wind, as if it was about to fall. Jiang Zhichu frowned and pushed forward. Open the wooden door.

"It's okay, it's okay, it didn't fall." Jiang Zhichu patted his chest and looked at the ice cube with a smile.

Ice Cube glanced at her, shook his head and walked in.

"Hey, you said you're not humorous at all."

When the two entered the house, a smell of rotten wood came over them with a stench. An old man with gray hair was sitting in front of the stove, chopping firewood, moving slowly.

Jiang Zhichu walked over, and the old man seemed to be a little deaf. She didn't get up in a hurry until she saw Jiang Zhichu, her eyes dodged, and she seemed to be looking for an opportunity to escape.

"Old man, we won't hurt you. I belong to the eldest princess, and I want to know something about the past." Jiang Zhichu explained in front of the old man.

Although the old man didn't want to run away anymore, his expression was still flustered, he didn't dare to look at them directly, and kept murmuring: "I don't know, I don't know."

"Old man, don't be afraid, as long as you tell me and are willing to enter the palace with us, we will ensure that you live a normal life."

The old man's cloudy eyes gradually lifted up to look at Jiang Zhichu, his hands tremblingly pulled up Jiang Zhichu's sleeves, his eyes were hazy, "I really can't say, let's go, you still won't let me go after all these years. "

The strange thing is that although the old man's voice is hoarse, he is not old.

"This..." Jiang Zhichu was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't say anything good.

Seeing that Ling didn't talk nonsense, he kicked the door shut, pulled the old man's skirt and pulled her over. With a light wave of his left hand, the sword came out of the sheath and pressed his head against the old man's throat.

The old man was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, and after a while, his lower body smelled foul.

Jiang Zhichu was worried that Ling would really kill her, so he stepped forward to take away her sword, and comforted her, "Don't use force, don't use force, I believe the old man will be willing to help us, she can't really not be afraid of death Right, old man?"

Ling stared at her with murderous eyes, as if as soon as she refused, he would be decapitated the next moment.

Seeing that she agreed, Jiang Zhichu came forward again and broke Ling Si's hand holding the old man's skirt, and said with a smile: "Old man, don't worry, we won't hurt you anymore."

Jiang Zhichu was secretly refreshed. She had learned all the red and white faces that her parents used to show to beat her up. Mr. Ling would not really kill her, and it was okay to frighten and coerce her.

The old man sat on the heated kang for a long time before he recovered. She let out a long sigh of relief, her face full of vicissitudes.

She slowly said: "Ten years ago, I was a maid in Fanghua Palace, and I usually did those dirty jobs. At that time, there was a special rule in the palace. Any court ladies and eunuchs were not allowed to go out after the master blows the lamp, even if they are in the palace. A latrine is not enough, that day I ran out because of the unbearable abdominal pain. When I came back, I passed by the main hall and heard some movement in the house. I see! Cough cough cough..."

The old man coughed violently, Jiang Zhichu patted the old man's back to comfort him, "Don't worry, speak slowly."

"In that room, there are two figures... It seems that they are having fun, but today, His Majesty went to the Queen's place. I dare not say that they fled in a hurry, but they were still seen by the big palace maid next to the empress. The strange thing is that the next day was still the same as usual, nothing happened. After a few months, the empress was happy, and the child was three months old, but His Majesty was busy with government affairs and never came to Fanghua Palace three months ago. I understand that it is not your majesty's child, and after a few days, my mother and your majesty applied to leave the palace to raise a baby... On the way, she killed us all, it was my fate! A sister tried her best to protect me and buried me under her body , so I survived... I have been living a life of hiding from Tibet, people and ghosts for the past few years...I..."

That being said, the old man could no longer speak, and his face was full of tears.

Ling recruited two shadow guards to secretly protect the old man, while he and Jiang Zhichu returned to the capital.

This is just one of the chess moves. If you want to completely win this chess game, you need to know who is playing chess with you.

At the beginning of the river outside the city of Kyoto, I randomly found an inn, and after a simple bath and change, I felt much more comfortable.

"I'll be going back tomorrow night, I have to change clothes now to waste time." Ling held his sword and looked at Jiang Zhichu who was tying his hair.

"Oh, you don't understand, everyone has a love for beauty, not to mention I just want to change into clean clothes, what's wrong?"

Ling dismissively said, "Hurry up, I'll wait for you in the carriage."

"it is good."

Ling waited in front of the carriage for a long time before seeing Jiang Zhichu's figure, and said angrily, "Isn't the son-in-law still dressing up?"

Looking at Jiang Zhichu's fair and handsome face, she felt a little disgusted.Standing with Jiang Zhichu, she looked like a man.

Jiang Zhichu shrugged awkwardly: "Be careful next time."

......

The carriage drove for a while, Jiang Zhichu seemed to think of something, opened the curtain and leaned out half of her body, she patted Ling, and asked curiously: "You said that old woman was a little girl in the palace ten years ago?" Maid, then she..."

"If I'm not mistaken, she will be about 30 years old this year."

Jiang Zhichu was shocked and said in shock, "30 years old! This is too exaggerated..."

Ling glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and then sarcastically said: "Your performance is too exaggerated."

Hall of Supreme Harmony--

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Eldest Princess has arrived." Eunuch Li entered the palace and arrived respectfully.

The emperor snorted coldly, glanced at Prime Minister Wang from the corner of his eye, and said coldly, "Let her in."

As soon as the words fell, before Eunuch Li went to look for him, Wei Zhaojin had already entered.

She bowed her knees and said: "My sister, please see Your Majesty."

He turned his eyes to Prime Minister Wang and then nodded slightly, which meant that I saw you.

The emperor frowned and said solemnly: "Are you here to intercede for him?"

Wei Zhaojin replied: "Sister Chen feels that the matter has not really come to light, Brother Emperor..."

"Don't say any more!" The emperor raised his hand and interrupted her, "This matter has already been settled, and the edict has been issued. Tomorrow at noon, he will give a glass of poisoned wine to end it on his own...Removing everything is just for the title, and his family members will be killed within a hundred years. Not allowed to enter Beijing."

Wei Zhaojin said in amazement: "Your Majesty! Absolutely not, brother Kang Wang must have been wronged!"

"Brother Kang Wang?" The emperor left the chair and walked in front of Wei Zhaojin, his thick eyebrows frowned, and the air pressure around him seemed to swallow him up. My relatives! You have to thank me for today's honor!"

Wei Zhaojin sneered, and bit his lower lip bitterly, "My imperial brother is no longer the original imperial brother. He has become dull and stupid. He believes in the words of villains and kills loyal ministers! You are not worthy..."

"Snapped"

Before he finished speaking, a loud slap fell on Wei Zhaojin's face, his fair cheeks became red and swollen instantly, and his ears were a little hard to hear, and there was a buzzing beep.

"Okay... okay, since that's the case... come here!"

Hearing the emperor's summons, Eunuch Li immediately walked in from outside the hall.

"It is my oral order that from today on I will depose the title of the Eldest Princess, stop the monthly payment, and all the servants in the mansion will be removed! You will not be allowed to enter the palace without summons."

Eunuch Li sighed for a while, his back wet a lot, "Yes, Your Majesty."

At this time, Prime Minister Wang began to pretend to be a good person, and comforted him: "Your Majesty, calm down, Your Highness the Princess must have lost her mind for a while."

Wei Zhaojin covered her face and said in disgust: "I don't want to take another step in this imperial palace that cannibalize people." After she finished speaking, she turned and left, walking gracefully just like her character.

In one day, two major incidents happened in Kyoto. King Kang was imprisoned for treason, and the eldest princess was removed from her title. All the people involved were members of the royal family. The people sighed one after another.

After the imperial decree, Concubine Kang passed out in public, and she seemed to have aged a lot overnight. The next day, Kang Wangfu dismissed her servants and left the capital. No one knew where they went, only that they would never come back again in their lifetime. .

That night, a woman's cries resounded throughout the palace, it was so miserable, like a piercing heart.

"Ajin, don't be so reckless next time, I feel sorry for you." Jiang Zhichu gently spread the ointment on Wei Zhaojin's face with his index finger, for fear that he would be crushed if he tried too hard, like a porcelain doll .

"How not to be reckless? I think this is not enough."

"That's the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and there are no spies."

"But the prime minister is here, how can you rule him out? Besides, as soon as brother Kang Wang was imprisoned, he ran to His Majesty's side to add fuel and embellishment. It is very suspicious for him to do so."

Jiang Zhichu sighed, "I really can't say enough about you."

"You were..." Wei Zhaojin turned his face slightly, the tip of his nose touched the man's nose, and forgot what he was going to say for a moment.

Jiang Zhichu was taken aback by her sudden movement, the elegant fragrance of orchids rushing towards her face and the warm breath from the tip of her nose to her lips made her stop still.

Jiang Zhichu felt her heart beat a little faster, and even her breathing changed. She suddenly remembered the accidental kiss in the carriage that day. The situation was urgent and there was no time to recall it. Now that she recalled it, it seemed that an electric current passed through her body, and her eyes gradually moved down. Landing on Wei Zhaojin's red lips, she seemed to have felt the softness, and couldn't help swallowing.

Wei Zhaojin clearly saw the rhythm of the man's Adam's apple, and hurriedly turned his head to try to drive away the pink bubbles on the screen.

"You can't say no to Bengong, why bother asking for trouble."

The ambiguous atmosphere was dispelled, and Jiang Zhichu continued to apply medicine to her with some disappointment, "Yes, yes, yes, my princess, I can't say no to you."

"Are you sure that Xuan'er is not the child of Brother Huang?" Wei Zhaojin became serious, and the temperature on his cheeks dropped.

Jiang Zhichu hated Wei Zhaojin very much. He was obviously emotional but he could suppress it. He was not pretending, even his physical reaction could be suppressed.

However, Jiang Zhichu was very self-aware, thinking that he was not enough to make her like him, not to mention that he was a woman, so why not marry her... But she found that she couldn't leave her, and she would miss her so much if she didn't see her for a day , this is not a good sign...

"Well, the person has been protected, but she didn't see who that person is, what a pity."

"No pity..."

Wei Zhaojin smiled and said: "Then I will play with him again. He has endured it for so many years. Isn't it too boring for us to catch him so soon? It's just a pity that Xuan'er...is a good one." child."

Jiang Zhichu swallowed, this time she was frightened, she always felt that there was an unknown hostility in Wei Zhaojin's eyes.

"Go to Lingruo Temple with Bengong tomorrow."

"what?"

"Ah what, go back to sleep."

Jiang Zhichu walked out disheveledly with his head drooping.

Woohoo, the fierce ones are not cute at all.
