Xie Jin did not forget Jiang Zhao's words, and took Yuan Xiang back to Xie's house after a few days.

Xie Yuzhe went out to meet friends who were not at home, so Xie Jin only asked Xie Hui's opinion, for fear of scaring him, he didn't say anything about His Majesty's promotion of Xie's family, but only asked him if he would like to become an official in the Ministry of Rites.

She knew that Xie Hui also wanted to serve the court in the past, but it was Xie Yu who refused to give in. He was always filial and knew that his father was doing it for his own good, so he never complained.

Now that Xie Jin asked him again, he was obviously moved.

Xie Hui is currently working as a judge in Dali Temple. Although he is considered a seventh-rank official, he can only be regarded as a low-ranking official in this capital where there are many powerful people, so Xie Yuzhe did not restrict him.

But the Ministry of Rites was different. Although he was moved, he still wanted to ask his father's opinion.

Xie Jin said: "Big brother has gone through the border times, and he is not what he used to be. Besides, he is a prosperous Mingjun today, so he will not bury his talent, and he will not let his brother follow in the footsteps of my father."

Seeing that Xie Hui was silent, she said again: "Your will study and live in the capital in the future. My sister-in-law still has a child in her womb. In the officialdom and back house, it is inevitable to step down and praise the high. Brother is not for himself. We should also think about their mother and child."

"Of course I understand what you said. When Dad comes back, I will have a good talk with him."

Xie Hui sighed, thinking about the difficulties Xie Jin said, he made up his mind to persuade Xie Yuzhe.

After playing with Xie Zhuoyou for a while, Xie Jin was about to leave and return to the palace.

Xie Hui sent her out, hesitant to speak repeatedly, and finally Xie Jin took the initiative to ask him: "What do you want to say, brother?"

Yuan Xiang drove away. Seeing that there was no one around, Xie Hui asked Xie Jin in a low voice, "If you don't tell me, I'm afraid I'm thinking more, Jinniang, tell brother honestly, what is the relationship between you and the man in the palace?" what relationship?"

Xie Jin's eyelids twitched, and he pretended to be puzzled: "The one in the palace? Who is the brother talking about?"

"You don't have to play dumb with me." Xie Hui took a deep look at her and sighed again: "I know your temperament, so I don't want to persuade you, I just want to tell you that the door of Xie's family will always be open for you. "

Xie Jin was silent, and when Yuan Xiang drove over, he hurriedly glanced at Xie Hui again.

On the way back, Xie Jin was always a little uneasy. At first, she thought it was because her relationship with Jiang Zhao was finally discovered by her family. It wasn't until the carriage stopped suddenly, but it was obvious that she hadn't reached the palace gate, that she faintly felt something was wrong.

"Xiao Yuanzi?" Xie Jin called out tentatively.

Yuan Xiang didn't speak, Xie Jin was in a state of confusion, tentatively moved closer to the curtain of the car, pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside, thinking that at the foot of the emperor, would there be bandits?

Not long after, there was finally movement outside, which was the uneven sound of horseshoes.

Then Yuan Xiang finally opened his mouth, confirming that nothing happened to him, Xie Jin was finally relieved, and listened carefully to the conversation outside.

"Why did Lieutenant Yang stop my carriage?"

"Eunuch Yuan, I am ordered by the Marshal to invite the people in the car to go to the mansion for a while, and I also ask Eunuch to make it easier for you."

"Can the Grand Marshal have a reason? If there is no reason, please forgive me for not obeying."

"The marshal didn't say the reason, but the military order is like a mountain, if the father-in-law doesn't give face, then I can only offend, come!"

"Wait! Lieutenant Yang, there are His Majesty's people in this car!"

The visitor obviously wanted to use force, Yuan Xiang shouted angrily, blocked the car door and moved Jiang Zhao out to threaten the visitor.

But that Captain Yang obviously didn't accept the threat, and there was a scuffle sound outside, making Xie Jin unable to sit still any longer.

She knew that although Yuan Xiang had some kung fu, since the other party was under Lu Shuai's command, how could he take advantage of it?

"stop!"

Xie Jin lifted the curtain of the car and scolded angrily, only then did he see the situation outside clearly.

The carriage has left the busy city and entered the palace road, and it will not take long to reach the palace gate.

No one comes and goes here on weekdays, but at this time, a group of soldiers in armor are watching from a distance. A cold-faced young man in ordinary uniform is sitting on a horse and directing two soldiers to subdue Yuan Xiang. Drag him off the carriage.

Seeing Xie Jin coming forward, the man got off his horse, bowed his hands and saluted her, and said loudly: "I think this is Mr. Xie from the inner palace. The last general, Yang Zheng, was ordered by Marshal Lu, please come over to tell me something." .”

Hearing the name of Shuai Lu, Xie Jin secretly thought it was bad, because apart from being related to Jiang Zhao, she really couldn't think of any reason why Lu Cangyu would want to see her.

However, judging by Yang Zheng's attitude towards her, it was regarded as being very courteous. Xie Jin calmed down a little, and forced himself to salute him back, knowing that he couldn't avoid it, he said, "I'm going with the general, please don't embarrass the little one." Yuanzi."

Lu Cangyu only asked Xie Jin to invite him, but didn't say how to deal with Yuan Xiang. Yang Zheng thought for a while, then waved and ordered Yuan Xiang to be released, and said to Xie Jin, "I'm just following orders, please don't blame me, my lord. Father-in-law, as long as he doesn't obstruct my work, I won't use force against him."

"Thank you, sir!" Yuan Xiang frowned, trying to move forward, but was blocked by those two soldiers.

"Lu Shuai is a real hero, and he can't act like a villain using lynching. I think he really has something to say to me. Xiao Yuanzi, don't worry, I'll go with Captain Yang."

Xie Jinyi pointed out something, and looked carefully at Yang Zheng, but saw that his expression remained unchanged, and he could not see any fluctuations.

"Master Xie, please go back into the car. I'll let someone drive for you, so Eunuch Yuan doesn't have to follow." Yang Zheng got on his horse, his gaze passed Xie Jin lightly, and then fell on Yuan Xiang.

The warning in the eyes is self-evident.

Seeing that Xie Jin was taken away by Yang Zheng, although Yuan Xiang was anxious, he was afraid that it was just a false alarm, so he didn't go back to the palace immediately, but ran to the marshal's mansion and squatted all afternoon.

It wasn't until sunset and the sky was getting late that he realized that something was wrong and hurried back to the palace.

Aunt Qingshi was teasing the cats in the courtyard, and when she saw Yuan Xiang running over, dripping with sweat, without changing his clothes, and not looking decent at all, she reprimanded him: "What do you look like in a panic? Your master saw you , I'm going to scold you again."

Yuan Xiang was about to cry, rushed to her, and asked eagerly: "Auntie, is Your Majesty in the bedroom?"

Qing Shi said: "I came back and stayed for a while, and was asked to go away by Concubine Zhao."

She also vaguely sensed that something was wrong, looked behind Yuan Xiang twice, and asked him: "Where's Jin Niang? Didn't you accompany her out of the palace to visit relatives today? Why did you come back so late and still haven't seen her?"

"Auntie, something is wrong!" Yuan Xiang knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in a trembling voice, "We were going back early in the morning, but we met Captain Yang from the Marshal's Mansion on the way, and took Mr. Xie away. Said that the Generalissimo asked her to narrate.

But I squatted in front of the handsome mansion all afternoon, and I didn't see her come out at all, something must have happened! "

"People from the handsome mansion?"

Qing Shi frowned, stretched out his hand to pick up Yuan Xiang from the ground, and ordered: "Though Concubine Zhao asked His Majesty to leave today, it has nothing to do with this matter, let's go to Your Majesty for nothing, and Concubine Zhao may not let him go.

Xiao Yuanzi, quickly go to the Qingyuan Hall to find the princess's mother, and ask her to report to Tai'an Palace, and say that the princess is crying, please go over and have a look, remember, tell her not to panic, don't let her Concubine Zhao noticed it. "

Yuan Xiang quickly responded, "I'll do it now!"

Jiang Zhao was a little unhappy when he went back to the bedroom and didn't see Xie Jin, and was invited to Tai'an Palace by Concubine Zhao. He thought she was going to intercede for Qian Chengye, but Concubine Zhao didn't say a word about it, just chatted with her. Some parents are short-tempered.

So he thought that she wanted to mend the broken relationship with him. Although Jiang Zhao was reluctant in his heart, Concubine Zhao was the late emperor's concubine and her elder after all, so she still had to do some superficial work.

And she was just chatting, and didn't touch Jiang Zhao's displeasure, so Jiang Zhao tolerated it for the time being.

This talk is about the transit of the moon.

Jiang Zhao said his farewell twice, but Concubine Zhao made excuses to keep them. It was not until the nanny of Qingyuan Hall begged that Jiang Zhao finally took the opportunity to say goodbye again. This time she was determined, and Concubine Zhao had no choice but to let her go. people.

"Well, why are you crying again? Didn't you ask Jinniang to go over and have a look?"

Mammy mumbled twice but couldn't explain clearly, Jiang Zhao didn't ask any more questions, and went back to Qingyuan Hall with her.

When Yujia arrived at Qingyuan Hall, Qingshi and Yuanxiang were already waiting, Jiang Zhao saw that Jiang Han's face was white and tender, and there was no trace of crying, so he glanced back at Yuanxiang and asked him: "Where's Jin Niang? "

Yuan Xiang's legs gave way, and he quickly knelt down on the ground, leaning over and explaining the whole story clearly.

Jiang Zhao's face was gloomy, and he squeezed out a name between his teeth: "Yang Zheng."

Yang Zheng is a retainer of the commander-in-chief, and because of his meritorious service with Lu Cangyu in the early years, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant. When he was not fighting, he lived with him in the commander-in-chief.

Now that the matter has come to this point, how can Jiang Zhao not understand that someone is scheming her to Lu Cangyu.

This trick is not new, but it works.

Although he knew that his uncle was not an unreasonable person, regarding the relationship between her and Xie Jin, Jiang Zhao couldn't guarantee whether he would cut the mess quickly, for fear that Xie Jin would be embarrassed by him.

So he immediately ordered: "Show the Commander's Mansion."

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!" Gao Sheng'an quickly knelt beside Yuan Xiang, kowtowed a few times, and told her the pros and cons: "It's already so late, you're going to the commander's mansion to dig someone now , What does the generalissimo think?

If the Generalissimo knew that you had done this for Master Xie, how would he treat her?Your Majesty, please think twice! "

Jiang Zhao was confused when he cared, and was dazzled by worry, but Gao Sheng'an was not.

He knew that Lu Cangyu was not only the commander-in-chief of the three armies, but also Jiang Zhao's uncle. He would not compromise on public or private affairs, and Jiang Zhao's impulsiveness at this time would only serve as a catalyst for him to attack Xie Jin.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I believe that the Generalissimo will not indiscriminately use violence against Mr. Xie. After all, this matter should not make a big fuss. Your Majesty must be calm and must not act impulsively."

Qing Shi agreed with Gao Sheng'an, and also persuaded Jiang Zhao.

But Jiang Zhao was in a hurry to return, but he also understood in his heart that what Gao Sheng'an and Qing Shi said was reasonable.

At this time, she was not far away from the key to the palace gate. If she went out of the palace with great fanfare to go to the Marshal's mansion to ask for someone, Lu Cangyu would say otherwise, but she would definitely increase her fear of Xie Jin.

This will only make Xie Jin's current situation worse.

But how could she really hold her breath? Although she didn't say that she was leaving the palace, she was so depressed that she kicked over a chair, scaring the ignorant Jiang Han next to her and hid in her mother's arms .

Jiang Zhao stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at Jiang Han vacantly, and said in a deep voice, "Take care of the Princess."

"Slave obeys the order." The nanny held Jiang Han in her arms, and responded cautiously, for fear of offending the king again.

Jiang Zhao didn't say anything else, and left Qingyuan Hall with his sleeves shaken.

That night, she lay alone on the large dragon bed, tossing and turning, without sleep all night.
