Dajin royal family

Chapter 229 Cloud Gathering and Wind Rises (2974)

Although it is almost the end of the month and September is the beginning of autumn, the lingering heat of summer still hangs over the city of Chang'an, and there is no place for families to go at noon. Classes reduce heat.As for civilians, it is natural to find a cool place to rest.

The Langya County government should have passed this year, but because Jiang Chengxiao did a good job and was assassinated for official business, the emperor rewarded the Langya County government with a lot of summer supplies.When the eunuch who announced the decree left, he quietly said that when the Duke of the county participates in the court meeting at the end of the month, His Majesty will reward him a lot.

"This lotus seed water has long been tired of drinking."

In the lobby of the Central Mansion, Jiang Chengxiao knelt and sat on the main seat. Due to his abdominal wound, he could only lean on the wood.Eldest Sun Qingyi mixed lotus seed water with bare hands, and put a lot of dried white orchids in it.After finishing it, hand it over to Jiang Chengxiao.

Holding the tea bowl, Jiang Chengxiao looked at Le Ping who was complaining, and said with a smile: "I'm not satisfied yet. Think about it, ordinary people don't have this kind of treatment. If the lotus seed water doesn't taste good, you can put some syrup in it."

"That's not good either." Le Ping pouted.

Liao'er covered her mouth and smiled, jokingly said: "Since the Princess is afraid of the heat, why doesn't she go to Ganquan Palace to escape the summer heat?"

"Third Younger Sister is right. I remember that His Majesty gave you the jade talisman of Ganquan Palace."

Jiang Chengxiao finished drinking the lotus seed water beautifully, put down the tea bowl, and the concubine Bai who was beside him hurriedly wiped the water stains from his mouth.

Le Ping said with an unnatural expression: "I went alone, what about my sister-in-law and the third lady. What's more, brother, you are sick now, so I can't go."

"Is there no other reason?" Jiang Chengxiao asked suspiciously.

"What reason can there be?"

With a guilty conscience, Le Ping doesn't look at his brother.

"Isn't it because you don't want to see a certain princess in the palace?" Jiang Chengxiao asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Le Ping was immediately annoyed, "Whoever of you told brother, your mouth is really sloppy, I will definitely teach you a lesson."

As she spoke, she looked around the servant girls.Seeing the princess like this, the maids subconsciously took a step back.

"Okay, okay, the guards in the mansion told me about Princess Yiyang. After all, she is a princess. She came to visit again and again. Shouldn't the guards tell me?" Jiang Chengxiao said unhappily.

In private, he quietly pinched the culprit's hand.

Changsun Qingyi rolled his eyes at him angrily, daring to be so frivolous anywhere, really disregarding decency.She quickly patted him lightly, signaling him to restrain himself.

Hearing what my elder brother said, Le Ping didn't have any temper.

"Why don't you want to go to the palace to meet Princess Yiyang?" Jiang Chengxiao was a little curious.

He actually didn't know anything about Princess Yiyang who lived in the palace.There are only three princes under the current emperor's knees that he can pay attention to, but the third prince Jiang Yan is too young to be under the focus of observation, only the prince and King Qi pay more attention.

In contrast, he really doesn't know how many princesses there are in the palace.First of all, the seniority in the palace is too chaotic, and it is impossible to remember so many princesses.

To put it simply, before the late emperor passed away, his concubine gave birth to several young daughters for the late emperor.Some of these daughters are younger than Princess Yiyang, it is not realistic to find out how many princesses there are.

Secondly, knowing what these princesses are doing, he doesn't want to be a son-in-law or want to break a bone.Therefore, whether it was a court celebration or a family banquet in the palace, he basically ignored those princesses subconsciously.

This Princess Yiyang was the topic that Madam brought up when she was whispering to Madam last night.After he left Beijing, Princess Yiyang often visited Leping to play.

"She's a princess, and I'm just a princess, so I don't want to play with her." Le Ping said in a contradictory tone of a child.

Both Changsun Qingyi and Yan'er smiled, as if they were amused by this childish Leping.

While they were chatting, the guards announced that Zhao Wang and Zhao Wangfei had already got off the sedan chair in front of the mansion.

Upon receiving the news of Jiang Chengxiao's assassination, Zhao Princess Zheng fainted directly. At that time, Zhao Wang was handling government affairs in the yamen. After he received the news, he knew that Jiang Chengxiao was not in danger of life, so he persuaded Zheng to watch it tomorrow. Don't disturb Jiang Chengxiao's rest.

Therefore, King Zhao asked for a leave of absence from the court today, and the two rushed to Langya County's mansion in a hurry.

As soon as they met, Mrs. Zheng cried while holding Jiang Chengxiao, beat her son while crying, scolded him for not knowing how to be more careful, and suddenly complained that King Zhao didn't find a job for his son in the capital, but he did something dangerous .

It took a long time to comfort Zheng Shi to stabilize her emotions. Jiang Chengxiao sat beside Zheng Shi, took her hand, and said relaxedly: "It's okay, Madam, the wound didn't hurt the vitals, and it will be better after a few days of cultivation."

"What do you mean by not hurting the vitals? If there is a little accident, you have no heirs now, and the entire palace has no heirs. Why don't you know the seriousness of the matter?" Zheng wanted to have a good talk with his son who had returned after a long absence. But when he thought of his assassination, his tone became agitated again.

Eldest Sun Qingyi's face darkened, and his head became even lower.

At this moment, a hand quietly grasped her jade hand, and when she looked up, she found that her husband was smiling slightly at her.

My heart suddenly relaxed a lot.

After comforting his wife, Jiang Chengxiao comforted Zheng Shi again: "Aniang, I'm fine."

Jiang Chengxiao's petty actions were seen by Zheng Shi. She knew that her son loved the eldest Sun Qingyi, and there were many maids in the hall, so she stopped the topic. "Listen, Auntie, I will go to your grandfather's house in a few days and ask him to reserve a position for you in Dali Temple, so that you won't have to leave the capital all day to do dangerous things and worry about your mother all day long." .”

"Cough cough."

King Zhao, who had been silent all this time, coughed twice. Mrs. Zheng understood, but still hummed softly to express her dissatisfaction.

"Are you really all right?" Zhao Wang asked in a deep voice.

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, "It's really all right."

"How about this, I have been worrying about your mother, you follow me into the inner room, and I will look at the wound." Zhao Wang said.

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao pinched the corner of his clothes subconsciously, and then said indifferently: "The imperial doctor has applied the medicine, and the wound should be healing now. If the silk cloth is removed, the wound may rupture."

Zhao Wangdao: "It's okay, this kind of situation is familiar to my father. As long as the sword wound doesn't touch the vitals, it should scab over overnight. If I don't take a look, your mother may worry about you when I go back."

"That's right, Qingque, show it to your father, you can rest assured as a mother." Mrs. Zheng gently patted her son's head.

Seeing this scene, Le Ping covered his mouth and laughed.My brother also looks like this sometimes, like a child.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxiao had no choice but to agree.

The two walked into the inner room, Jiang Chengxiao took off his outer robe, and rolled up the inner single clothes, revealing the silk cloth wrapped around his abdomen.Dark red blood was faintly visible at the wound site. King Zhao reached out and removed the silk cloth layer by layer, revealing a scar.

King Zhao just glanced at it lightly, and then slowly wrapped the silk cloth around him again. "Well, it should be fine."

"That's good, Auntie shouldn't be worried now." Jiang Chengxiao said with a relaxed smile.

Zhao Wang looked at his son who was arranging his clothes, and said: "Since you are injured, you should stay in the mansion to recuperate well, and don't go out if you have nothing to do, you know."

"Yes, I understand."

"As for the murderer, don't worry, His Majesty has sent the inner guards to investigate, and there will be results in a few days."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Wang looked at Jiang Chengxiao's face with some hesitation, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Father, won't you ask me what happened in Qingzhou?" Jiang Chengxiao said.

Hearing this, Zhao Wang shook his head and looked at him meaningfully, "The clouds gather and the wind rises, let's sit and watch the flowers fall in Chang'an."

Geek!

As soon as he heard this, he knew there was something in it, but Zhao Wang didn't explain to him, turned around and left the inner room.

The clouds are gathering and the wind is picking up. Is it going to rain?

Lishan.

An arrow pierced through the air and hit the fleeing figure at the foot of the mountain in an instant.

puff!

The arrow accurately shot into the back of the figure, followed by a petite shadow that rushed out, within three breaths, the figure controlled the target.

"It's pretty good at hiding, and I almost missed you."

The inner guard Chen Leng came over on horseback, got off the horse without saying a word, and hit the neck of the person hit by the arrow with the back of the knife accurately, knocking him out.

"Don't let him die, this is the person His Majesty wants." Chen Leng ordered.

"Yes." All the inner guards responded.Immediately, he quickly cleaned up the scene and led the man away quickly.

Not long after they left, more than a dozen figures descended from the dense forest in the mountain.

"Third Master, what should we do now? The murderer has been captured, how to explain to the master."

"Steal someone?" Someone suggested.

The man named San Ye raised his hand to stop everyone's words, and said slowly: "The other party is not an ordinary person, let's follow him to find out."

"Yes."
