Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

She said she was not tempted, but according to Haifeng, the fifth princess had begun to care about Shun Anyan's opinion of her.

Zhong Jihai's Mongolian costumes add a bit of exotic style to her body.

The fifth princess's original clothes had just been changed and worn by Zhong Jihai to Wufanglou to test Shun Anyan.

"Fourth sister, tell me, he won't make me angry, right?"

"So what if you're angry? Is there any couple in the world who never quarrels in their whole life?"

After Haifeng settled all the people brought by the fifth princess, he returned to his bedroom. When he saw his sad-faced sister, he couldn't help but want to tease her.

"Your fourth sister and I have only been married to your brother-in-law for two years, but they have been engaged for a long time. Many people have encouraged him to take concubines, but Duobu is not willing. Do you know why?"

"why?"

"Because he knew I would be angry. When I was angry, he felt that I was jealous of him, which made him even more proud. The two of us solved this problem so easily. Every couple has their own way of getting along. . You have to try it a few times before you know what the other person thinks. If you two want to be a real couple, this test is just the beginning."

Haifeng asked Shutai to bring her daughter over to meet the fifth princess.

When little Gege was about to turn one year old, she started talking in a mixture of Mandarin, Mongolian and Chinese, which made Haifeng very nervous.However, she is still on the sidelines and has not forced changes in the way her daughter learns to speak.

When the fifth princess saw her niece coming, she was so happy that she put Shun Anyan's matter aside for the time being.

"Oh, call me 'aunt'!"

Little Princess looked at her mother's face and obediently called the Fifth Princess Aunt, and then got a lot of collars and toys as greeting gifts.

Seeing Shutai accompanying her niece, the fifth princess became more energetic.

"Why are you still running around on errands? Won't Seventh Brother care about Fourth Sister?"

Shutai was so teased that he couldn't even lift his head, knelt down and ran out.

After seeing this, Haifeng could only shake his head.

"You know that she is thin-skinned, but you still ask? I originally planned to arrange her marriage when the child turns one year old this year. Unexpectedly, I have to take care of Zhong Jihai and rectify the officialdom. I am so busy that I have no time. And It’s time to celebrate Ma Ma’s birthday. Now the date has been set, and I will send her out in November.”

"Somehow there is always good news these days. Although Mama forbids me from telling anyone about it, the fourth sister should know. Aunt Duanmin has taken your medicine, and she is happy!"

"Really?"

"Can this be a lie? Mama was so happy that she couldn't sleep well for several nights, saying that you saved her."

"Don't dare."

This is Princess Duan Min, a good relationship she forged in her previous life.

There is no right or wrong medicine, it just depends on whether it is right or not.

The prescription that Haifeng gave to Princess Duanmin was actually the top prescription in the box of secret recipes for childbirth that she gave to Haifeng back then.

Princess Duan Min also specially marked it with cinnabar and told Haifeng that this method was the most effective.

So, it is estimated that this recipe matched Princess Duan Min's symptoms and made her pregnant successfully.

The adults' joy infected little Gege, and she laughed happily. For a moment, the room was filled with joy and relaxation.

Shutai, who had just run away because of shyness, approached Haifeng in this atmosphere and informed her.

"Master, Lord Nine is here and said he wants to meet you and the Fifth Princess."

Haifeng suddenly became nervous, and so did the fifth princess.

"Yin Zhen didn't hear from somewhere that I went to Wufang Building, right?"

"Probably not. Although I dare not say that the news is airtight, at least the wind will not blow into Ninth Brother's ears. He may have come for other reasons."

"What's the reason?"

Haifeng complained to the fifth princess while changing clothes.

"As for Lao Jiu, he is also a person who has no plans. Didn't I watch Li Guangdi and the others conduct a thorough investigation of all officials? The ninth brother was instigated by someone unknown, so he ran to talk to several officials under Mingzhu and blackmailed 5 Wanliang said that he could help intercede in front of me to protect them from being punished. The second mistress of Mingzhu Mansion heard about it and felt that I was not such a person, so she came to ask."

"Khan Amma was just tired of his elder brothers trying to win over the ministers, so he specifically gave this job to the fourth sister. How dare he do it?"

"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Besides, he is still young. I sent Zhang Shun to beat him and returned the money to Mingzhu Mansion. Mingzhu has been ill in the past two years, and Nan Study has taken leave every day, and his hands Let everyone here who can be let go. These are the only ones who have been friends for decades or are real relatives. How could the second mistress let her go?"

Haifeng changed her clothes, kissed her daughter twice, and took Shutai out to meet Brother Jiu.

"You have nothing to do today. Why don't you come over to see Fourth Sister?"

"Didn't you say that Fifth Sister has left the palace? Why didn't she come out with you to see me?"

Hearing Brother Jiu's anxious questioning, Haifeng realized that something was fishy.

"She is in my room, enjoying playing with Little Princess. Do you have something urgent?"

Brother Jiu drank tea irritably and almost burned his tongue into a big blister.The tea fell on his clothes, but he didn't pay much attention.

"Fourth sister, tell the truth to my brother. Is fifth sister here?"

"I'm going to say that I'm not here, how are you doing?"

Brother Jiu was about to rush out, but was stopped by Shu Tai.

"Master Jiu, the fifth princess is really here. At least you have made it clear. Only then will the master know what went wrong."

Haifeng also stood up and walked quickly to Brother Jiu.

"I know that you are friends with the eighth and tenth brothers. Did you hear anything from them?"

"Fourth sister, I can't tell you directly. Since it was not you and fifth sister who just left the house in the carriage, I feel at ease."

How could Haifeng let go of this opportunity and decided to get some information out of Brother Jiu's mouth.

"I sent Axiang out to do something. Don't you know how many years she has been with me? If something goes wrong, wouldn't it make me feel so distressed?"

"Oh, why is it her? Forget it, let me say it. Fourth sister, you are too harsh, and you won't give it to any brother. Forget it for the younger ones, we will be taken care of by you since childhood. Big brother, what can you say? But the eldest brother and the second brother are so angry that they are jumping up and down. Go and chase the carriage back!"

Without even a moment's hesitation, Haifeng called the stable and all the horses in the stable were saddled.

"Go ask me to come out. He is in the study at the moment."

After Duobu listened to Shutai's brief explanation of what happened, he dropped the history books and military books he was studying, picked up two muskets, and went to join Haifeng.

"If you ask me, don't go. I'll take care of things, don't worry."

"It's not that I don't trust you, I just want to see how ruthless their methods are."

In order to prevent Li Daitao's plan from being exposed, Zhong Jihai put on the clothes of the fifth princess and took the carriage commonly used by Shutai and the others, not Haifeng or the fifth princess themselves.

But Brother Ninth was worried about the safety of her and the Fifth Princess.

In other words, whoever wanted to plot the plot knew that the person in this carriage was most likely one of the two princesses.

The gentle tricks didn't work, so he chose to use violence, right?Of course, Haifeng didn't let Zhong Jihai go out alone. There were four people following the carriage secretly, and the coachman was the extremely skilled Balezhong.

Even if there was an accident, it would be enough to withstand it for a while.

Duobu and she, along with more than a dozen guards from the palace, urged their horses to gallop along the way, causing a lot of talk on the roadside.

After chasing for a while in the direction of Wufanglou, Duobu's sharp eyes were the first to see Shun Anyan lying in a small alley, and he got off his horse.

"what happened?"

"My dear, hurry up and go deeper into the alley! That girl and your followers hid in there. Two people chased after me, but I resisted twice and was knocked to the ground."

Soon after he finished speaking, as soon as Shun Anyan finished speaking, a huge gunshot rang out in the alley.

After Duobu and Haifeng looked at each other, they held each other's hands in a tacit understanding, then walked inside tentatively with their muskets in hand.

Ever since the last fight, when Haifeng gave Dobu the gem-encrusted short gun, Dobu became obsessed with transforming long guns into short guns. However, there were many failures and few successes. The few useful ones he gave to his followers .

Balezhong also loved this novel firearm and would not use it until a critical moment.

Fortunately, after they rushed in, they found that Balezhong only suffered a slight injury on his leg. Zhong Jihai calmly supported him. His body was only stained by mud, making him a little embarrassed.

The killer who was shot was bleeding and died.

As soon as he saw the couple arriving, Zhong Jihai first reported Balezhong's injury, and then directly talked about the accident that had just happened.

"After Balezhong fired, one ran away. Not far after we walked out of the princess, Balezhong said that he felt someone was following him. Originally, we had discussed whether to go back first, and we were worried about delaying the Wufang Building. , finally decided to hurry up and catch the car, Balezhong said, among the clerks in Wufanglou and Gao's Antique Shop, there are as many fists as in Fuli. As soon as we reached the intersection of Zhengyang Street, a cold arrow suddenly shot over. "

Haifeng's heart tightened upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but look Zhong Jihai up and down.

"Are you really not hurt?"

"I can tell the position by listening to the sound. I haven't given up my skill on horseback yet. Moreover, they didn't hit the target at all. I didn't even dodge."

Haifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

"and after?"

"Later, Balezhong drew his sword directly, and the guards following the car also ran out. There were many people on Zhengyang Street, and they started rioting when they saw the knife. Balezhong sent a person to Wufanglou to ask for help, and I lay on the car. Listen to the noise inside. The people who ambushed us probably thought that the sneak attack would not be successful, so they simply came out to fight for weapons. There are about ten of them. They are not weak in skills."

"He hasn't been beaten?"

"That's not true. The horse pulling the cart was frightened and almost ran away. Balezhong asked me to come down, and he took me to the five-square building. I had a short dagger with me, so I took it out and ran with him for a while. Shun Anyan. This man is quite interesting, he still has to show off his skills even though he is not good at it. Balezhong did two things, protecting me and him, and that’s why he got injured on his leg. Balezhong didn’t want to delay, so he put the wound on his waist The short gun was taken out and used. Then, you came."

Zhong Jihai made it clear, but Haifeng didn't dare to pinpoint who was behind it yet.

Here is the most lively area in the capital, Zhengyangmen.

One of Dobu's subordinates ran over and asked him to come over.

"Your Majesty, the Nine Admirals are here. He said that he knew that the carriage in the princess's palace was robbed, but he hadn't reported it to the palace yet. He asked the prince and princess, how do they want to deal with it?"

"Tell him to wait, I'll be there right away."

Haifeng and Duobu quickly exchanged opinions and decided that she would take Zhong Jihai back to her home while Duobu went into the palace to report to Kangxi.

After they got on the carriage, Haifeng kept frowning and thinking, while Zhong Jihai remained silent and waited quietly.

This state lasted until they saw the pale-faced Fifth Princess in the stable.

"Fourth sister, how are the people sent out by the government? If there is something wrong, wouldn't it be my fault?"

Zhong Jihai looked at the fourth princess, who was still immersed in his own thoughts. He stepped forward to comfort the fifth princess and said:

"I'm fine, and they are fine. The injury is just a superficial injury. It will take a few days to recover. Let's go back first. This is not the place to talk."

Aunt Fucha very thoughtfully carried little Gege into her own room, and then directed Qing'er and the others to serve tea and snacks.

Haifeng didn't care about eating or drinking. She wanted to share what she was thinking of with the fifth princess and Zhong Jihai.

"Looking at the situation, this group of people knew in advance that Fifth Sister was going to Wufanglou."

"Why is this?"

The fifth princess asked directly in confusion, but Zhong Jihai strongly agreed with Haifeng's idea.

"I feel the same way. They didn't dare to attack that Shun Anyan, they were too timid. They showed no mercy to me and Balezhong."

Haifeng carefully looked at the difference between Zhong Jihai and the fifth princess.

The reason I chose her instead of someone else pretending to be her was because she was the closest in height to the fifth princess. The only regret was that she was stronger than the fifth princess.

Do those people know that this fifth princess is fake?

If you don't know, they are still going to attack with all their strength, then the target of this raid is undoubtedly the fifth princess.

But they didn't dare to hurt Shun Anyan.
Based on this, the Tong family is the target of the mastermind behind the scenes; and the fifth princess is about to marry into the Tong family. In the future, she will directly control the inner courtyard of the Tong family with the dignity of a princess, and then get the data that the Tong family has worked hard to manage. Ten years of personal connections.

And the package swap he did made the main messenger's ambush come to nothing.

Haifeng was afraid that the fifth princess would know too much and blame herself too much, so she decided not to tell the truth for the time being.

"Don't rush back to the palace. When your brother-in-law comes back, I will ask him to escort you personally. After this incident, I feel relieved about Shun Anyan. The guard who went to Wufanglou to ask for help said that he heard Something happened to you, and you rushed out without saying a word, without any concern for your own safety. That's it, go write a note and comfort him."

After the fifth princess obeyed and went to the study to write a letter, Zhong Jihai stood there and did not follow.

"You still have something to ask me, right?"

"Yes. When you said the arrow missed, did it miss by a lot or just a little?"

"It's not much different. But when it comes to archery, even an inch misses the target. In my eyes, it's all the same."

"No, it's very different."

After Haifeng got this new clue, he narrowed the scope of his speculation.

"I was originally thinking that maybe Shun Anyan wanted to use a bitter trick to save the beauty and make the fifth sister die for her. Otherwise, why would the two killers not dare to touch him. But even if the arrow hurt the fifth sister, Even the Tong family will regret the slightest bit of flesh on their face."

From the beginning to the end, Zhong Jihai never suspected that Shun Anyan was disguising.

"I'm not the fifth princess. In fact, he could see it clearly from a distance. After stopping, he followed him. The person he wanted to please was not here, so it didn't matter if he didn't take risks to save people. And if it was a bitter trick, at least Shun Anyan would be successful. Get hurt a little to look presentable.”

"Well, you're right."

Haifeng felt that Zhong Jihai was an unexpected surprise. He was thoughtful and brave enough to express himself, and none of the resources invested in her were wasted.

However, she still couldn't figure out who was going to kill the fifth princess.

Just listen to what Brother Nine has to say.

There is a high probability that he is being taken advantage of.

Let’s see if Duobu can spot some clues in Qianqing Palace!
