Chapter 15

Even though everything was complicated and Jia Guo Mansion deliberately kept a low profile, Jia Guo Mansion had been famous for a long time, and there were many guests on the wedding day.After the wedding ceremony, when the banquet was held, the emperor brought the imperial concubine Ye Shi to the Jiaguo mansion in person, and the Jiaguo mansion was full of people, and it was extremely lively.

During the banquet, Xiao Jing Wang Xiaoyu quietly grabbed Shen Jiangdong: "Brother Shen, you don't want Chen Nanfei to tell third brother what happened to me that day. I didn't want Chen Nanfei to die either."

Shen Jiangdong was taken aback, "I didn't kill him!"

King Xiao Jing scratched his head: "Then it was an accident that he fell into the water? Oh yes, he probably drank too much that day in Wufulou. It was an accident, it was an accident..." He walked away while muttering.

Shen Jiangdong heaved a sigh of relief.

Jiang Feng is a bride today, so everything falls on Shen Huanhua.Shen Huanhua was busy with scheduling, and Lan Xuan and Lanrui, who lived in the fourth room of the Ye Mansion, were fawning around Shen Huanhua under the command of the fourth wife.

"Sister-in-law's purse is really exquisite! Did the elder sister give it to you? It's a pity that I don't attract people's love, and the elder sister won't even see me." Lan Xuan said.

Shen Huanhua casually untied two purses from his waist, one of silk tapestry and one of flat gold yarn, and stuffed them to Lan Xuan, saying, "It's not from the imperial concubine, you sisters take it." The guests have gone.Everyone greeted the ceremony in disorder, only the fourth wife of the Ye family looked at it thoughtfully, and stood there for a while.

At the banquet, Siqing and Jiang Feng had been perfunctory for a long time with the wives. Siqing was very impatient and forced to smile.

She turned her head slightly, just as the veil was blown away, and she looked at Ye Xiufeng, who was currently involved in the Fuzhou case but seemed calm.She always hated this "father" to the extreme, she wanted to vomit, so she deliberately raised her voice outside the veil and said to Xiao Yi: "I'm sick and drinking, I want to avoid the banquet and take a rest."

Jiang Feng hurriedly said to Si Qing: "The mansion has prepared a pavilion for the imperial concubine to rest, please move the imperial concubine."

Siqing got up to avoid the table, and Jiang Feng also left the table with his attendants.Turning around the main hall and away from the noisy place, Siqing ordered: "Lingzhen follow me, you all go down." The palace people saluted and left.

Siqing and Mrs. Jiaguo entered the pavilion, only Lingzhen stood by.Si Qing knew that Mrs. Jia Guo's surname was Jiang, and she had heard a little about her origin, so she asked, "Madam, what's your surname?"

Jiang Feng leaned forward and replied, "I dare not, my concubine's surname is Jiang."

Siqing asked again: "Madam, do you have fine print?"

Jiang Feng whispered: "My concubine's small character is Xuan Bin."

Siqing nodded, "Where is Madam's ancestral home?"

Jiang Feng said: "My concubine is from Fuzhou in the north of Beijing."

Siqing smiled and said: "I heard that Madam has served in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, etc., so she must be a hero among women." She changed the subject and asked, "Madam has served in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and is also from Fuzhou, but I heard that this spring will go to Fuzhou A mutiny?"

Jiang Feng didn't expect that the imperial concubine who lived deep in the inner palace would suddenly ask about this.Because this was a matter of the previous court and had a great relationship with the important officials in the court, Jiang Feng didn't know how to answer for a while.

Siqing was always considerate, seeing that Jiang Feng hesitated to answer, she stopped asking, and just chatted with her about the scenery of Beijing, and the conversation turned out to be speculative.Siqing asked how much older Jiang Feng was than herself, so she called him by her sister, exchanged handkerchiefs, and said, "I'm in confinement, and I'm bored all day long. I hope Mrs. Jiaguo can come to the palace from time to time."

Ling Zhen counted the time and said: "Imperial Concubine, Mrs. Jia Guo, we have been away from the banquet for a long time, and it is time to go back to the banquet."

Siqing said, "It's not too late."

As soon as the words were finished, the candlelight in the pavilion flickered. Siqing sensed that something was wrong. She concentrated her energy to discern the surrounding situation with her ears, but she didn't reveal anything on her face. She only said to Jiang Feng, "Let's go back to the table."

When he looked at Jiang Feng, he saw the other party's expression was solemn, and he seemed to feel something was wrong.Siqing suddenly thought of the origin of Jiang Feng's family education, so his skills must be good.

At this time, most of the guards and present guards of Duke Jia's mansion were at the banquet in the front hall. Although there were guards in the backyard of the mansion, they were all scattered around the pavilion.Si Qing deduced that the matter should not become a big deal, and it was best not to disturb the guards, so she nodded slightly to Jiang Feng.The latter was startled, and immediately nodded in response.

Siqing beckoned to Lingzhen, Lingzhen walked up to Siqing without knowing why, and before she could ask, Siqing had already waved her sleeves, and lifted the hairpin on her temples through the window, only to hear the hairpin from outside hitting her. Noises on metal objects.

It turned out that there was still a short blade hidden under Siqing's sleeve. Jiang Feng was slightly taken aback when he saw the hilt of the short blade.

Seeing Siqing gesturing to him, Jiang Feng thought it was a signal for him and her to carefully leave the pavilion and return to the table.Never thought that the imperial concubine would suddenly attack with a hidden weapon.The hairpin bounced back, and it was only when Jiang Feng came to his senses that he knocked it down for Siqing.

A black shadow swayed into the pavilion, and the cold air of the long sword's edge hit Siqing's throat.Jiang Feng turned pale with fright, and clamped Jianfeng with his index and middle fingers.The assassin obviously didn't expect Jiang Feng's extraordinary skills, and hurriedly picked the meridians on her wrist with a trembling of the sword tip. At this time, Jiang Feng pushed away Ling Zhen, who was not good at martial arts but still wanted to save Siqing, and slapped the back of the assassin. Heart.Siqing took the opportunity to use a trick of "Double Dragons Grabbing the Pearl" and dug at the assassin's eyes with his left hand. The assassin was busy dodging Jiang Feng's palm and protecting his eyes, and he dodged to cut off Siqing's left arm.Siqing was defeated, and quickly took a few steps back. Jiang Feng attacked the assassin's back again. Siqing shifted left and right to divert the assassin's sight.Ling Zhen was vigilant, seeing that no outsiders were disturbed, she closed the door of the pavilion.

"Girl..." Ling Zhen was still in shock.

"I'm fine." Si Qing picked up the hairpin and returned it to her temples, "It's not a small courage to dare to break into the Duke of Jia's mansion at night alone."

"You... who are... exactly?"

Jiang Feng took off the assassin's jaw with one hand, and said skillfully, "He seems to have taken poison."

"It's not so easy to die by hiding the poison between your teeth. As for who I am, don't even think about it. Think about this miss, is it death or trick? What will happen to you?" Si Qing said lightly.

Before the words fell, there was a loud shout from outside, shouting to arrest the assassin.All of a sudden, the torches came towards this pavilion brightly.Rao Jiang Feng is an old Jianghu, and this kind of thing happened to him the night he married into Jia Guogong's mansion, and he lost his mind for a while.

An assassin appeared in Jiaguo's mansion to assassinate the imperial concubine, but Jiaguo's mansion was covered in mouths and couldn't tell.Jiang Feng made a decisive decision. Since the assassin's chin had been removed and the assassin could not speak, she also acupointed the assassin's dumb acupoint to ensure safety.At this moment, Siqing came back to her senses and kicked the assassin into the couch.

The fight just now did not damage the utensils, and Ling Zhen just had time to pull down the tassel cover on the couch, only to see the forbidden army leading the way, breaking open the door of the pavilion, Shen Jiangdong jumped in first, Xiao Yi was only half a step away from him, with an anxious expression on his face .However, Siqing sat in the main seat, Jiang Feng sat in the guest seat, and the two were arm in arm, talking earnestly.

Seeing that the two of them were fine, both Xiao Yi and Shen Jiangdong breathed a sigh of relief.But both Xiao Yi and Shen Jiangdong felt the abnormal atmosphere in the pavilion.Under the tacit understanding for many years, Xiao Yi did not speak, and Shen Jiangdong also did not know.

Siqing stood up, and Jiang Feng also hurriedly got up and saluted Xiao Yi.Siqing asked, "What's the matter?"

Shen Jiangdong glanced at Xiao Yi, and hurriedly saluted, "The imperial concubine was shocked. Just now, someone shouted that there was an assassin, and the banquet became chaotic. Did the assassin ever disturb the imperial concubine?"

Siqing raised her eyebrows and smiled: "What assassin? My wife and I were going back to the banquet, but we didn't see the assassin."

Xiao Yifang said: "Madam, there is no need to be too polite."

Jiang Feng said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. The concubine and the imperial concubine were here just now, and I really didn't see any trace of the assassin."

At this moment, King Xiao Jing said with a smile: "Just now at the banquet, Prince Duan's son was drunk, and I heard that the son was drunk and talking about "The Assassin's Biography" with others. It must be too chaotic at the banquet, some people listened to the left, and the muddled biography has been completed." There are assassins in the mansion. It was just a joke, but the guards rushed up, which startled the empress."

Si Qing smiled: "If you pass it on ten times, it will inevitably change the flavor. The Duke of Jia's mansion is so cautious, it's so cautious that even if there are real assassins, they won't be able to get in."

Everyone below echoed the words of the imperial concubine.The crowd surrounded Xiao Yi and the imperial concubine and walked towards the mansion. Shen Huanhua took advantage of the crowd to go out and asked her brother: "What's going on? Did you really sneak in..."

"There are imperial guards outside, not even a fly can get in. I don't know who is drunk and yelling." Shen Jiangdong said.Shen Huanhua saw that his brother's expression was indeed as usual, he believed it was true, and did not pursue it any further.

Siqing deliberately said: "It's getting late, it's time to go back."

Xiao Yi said with a smile: "What the imperial concubine said is true." Turning his head to the Huangmen official, he said kindly, "Order to drive."

Siqing was wearing a heavy gown, and it was difficult for her to walk. Seeing this, Shen Huanhua came forward to help her.Xiao Yi on the side wanted to remind Shen Huanhua to be more careful, but after thinking about it, he felt it was wrong, so he whispered: "Old Wu, are you still going back to Ye's house?"

Shen Huanhua chuckled: "Third brother is in charge of me today? I will go back to Ye's house after the ceremony, and I will go back to my mother's house for two days. There are so many people chewing my tongue."

Siqing just laughed and said nothing.Shen Huanhua looked at Siqing and said in a low voice: "I thought you would retort and tell me to ignore other people's words and just live in my mother's house. Why, I have been with the third brother for a long time, so I have become more disciplined."

Xiao Yi couldn't help but interjected: "Speak nonsense again."

Having said that, they had already reached the door, and the three of them fell silent.Siqing turned around and took Jiang Feng's hand and said, "I fall in love with Madam. Madam often goes around the palace, and also goes to see Concubine Ding'an."

Jiang Feng is not used to such occasions, and he doesn't know how to speak polite words, so he just saluted and said, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine."

The Empress Dowager passed away early, and the Empress Dowager has also passed away for more than three years. Now the Royal Concubine Ding'an in the palace has the highest seniority. Although she is not the Empress Dowager, she is better than the Empress Dowager.Shen Jiangdong has always remained neutral in the dispute between He Shizhi and Ye Xiufeng. At this moment, the imperial concubine who was born in the Ye Mansion greeted Shen Jiangdong's new wife face to face, and the surrounding air was somewhat stagnant.

Not long after, Shen Jiangdong and his wife took the lead and sent them to the gate of Duke Jia's mansion. The forbidden army cleared the way, surrounded by Xiao Yi and Siqing, and went back to the forbidden.

After Xiao Yi and his wife returned to the prison, Jiaguo Mansion was less restrained and lively for a while.It was nearly three o'clock when Shen Jiangdong saw off the guests.The servants who cleaned up the mess in the mansion dispersed one after another. Red ribbons, bouquets of various colors, and the word "囍" cut out of gold foil fluttered in the night, and it was a little quiet under the moonlight.

All the maids in the room were dismissed by Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng took off his bun, tied his hair with a cone-footed hairpin, and looked at himself in the mirror. Conspicuous, so I changed into ordinary clothes.

After seeing off the guests, Shen Jiangdong rubbed his forehead and felt that his feet were floating. He pushed the door open with one deep kick and one shallow kick, only to see two halos of light shining brightly from the red candles in the room.Seeing Shen Jiangdong coming in, she got up without saying a word, and looked at Shen Jiangdong, as if saying: Everything is acting.

Shen Jiangdong felt a little dazzled by the strength of the wine, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he just smiled and said, "You haven't been to the Imperial Capital for three or four years, have you?"

Jiang Feng said: "It's been four years. I didn't expect that when I come to the Imperial Capital again, the situation will be the same as before."

The two sat down by the window, Jiang Feng poured the wine, the two drank a glass to each other, and after drinking, they were speechless for a while.The rustling autumn sound came, Shen Jiangdong pondered for a while, and asked: "Tonight..."

Jiang Feng looked extraordinarily calm. He glanced at Shen Jiangdong, with the sharpness and calmness in his eyes when he was an official in the ministry. She said softly, "There are indeed assassins."

Shen Jiangdong stood up suddenly, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured into his pocket in the cold winter: "Where is the assassin?!"
