Chapter 31 Which side to choose

Back in the small courtyard, the night is late, the noise has stopped.

Gu Yunbai waited so furiously that when she saw Jiang Nan coming back, she rushed out and questioned her head and face: "What are you doing with that prince?"

With an inexplicable guilty conscience, Jiang Nan replied in a low voice, "I just went out for a walk and ran into some old neighbors, so I wasted some time..."

"I can't hook up, do you like it?"

Gu Yunbai was aggressive, Sheng Ning couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward and tugged on Gu Yunbai's sleeve, persuading him, "Speak up, why are you still so violent?"

"You still have the face to say it? It's all your fault, I'll scold you later!" Gu Yunbai threw away Sheng Ning.

Jiang Nan frowned: "We are just friends, we have known each other since we were young, so there is some affection..."

"Friendship? Jiang Nan! You have to figure it out, the prince and the faction are our sworn enemies. One day in the future, we will face each other with swords, either he dies or we die! When the time comes, which side will you choose?" Gu Yun Bai lost his composure and roared angrily.

"...The injustice of the Gu family has been going on for more than ten years. We were all young at that time. He was just the prince who was promoted to the position of prince. If it weren't for him, it would be someone else! The person behind the frame is not him!"

"You are hopeless! He is the ultimate beneficiary of that struggle. Who can guarantee that he is really innocent? Even if he is young and innocent, can that guarantee the innocence of his mother and the Duan family?"

Jiang Nan wanted to say that when the Gu family was in trouble, Xie Yun's grandfather was just a fifth-rank official released outside. After receiving the emperor's favor these years, he came to Beijing to hold real power. How is it related to the case of the Gu family's injustice?

But Gu Yunbai was in a fit of anger, she didn't want to get angry again, so she shut her mouth and let Gu Yunbai talk as much as she wanted.

"He has been a prince for many years, and he has been the only leader in the court. Who made the unjust case back then has no relationship with him now? Are those who follow him innocent? We want revenge, and we have moved his interests. When the time comes Will he let us go?"

Gu Yunbai was so angry that she couldn't breathe from the excitement, took a breath, and continued: "If the King of Qin wants to stay in Beijing, he has to pluck out his wings. Xie Yun approached you, it is impossible to guarantee that it is not to deal with the King of Qin! He is going to get married in three months, and he is marrying your cousin, don't be naive! He is the prince of the East Palace, how could he want a woman who is divorced? He just thinks it's new and wants to play with you!"

After saying that, Gu Yunbai couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Jiang Nan stood blankly in the courtyard, the night wind ruffled her hair, and she suddenly remembered Xie Yun's appearance when the Gu family was in glory.

Xie Yun was obsessed with playing with wood when he was a child. He could create many novel toys that no one else had ever seen before. He just didn't do serious things related to learning.

When the princes are vying to perform, he always likes to hide in a corner sullenly, immersing himself in his own world. Some people always say that he has no sense and lacks knowledge.

He is not favored, nor favored by powerful ministers.

Because of this, the Gu family was destroyed, Xie Jin lost power, several forces fought, and the princes competed to wither. Xie Yun, who had no sense of existence, unexpectedly became the master of the Eastern Palace.

In the past ten years, Xie Yun has traveled around the center of the imperial power turmoil like a good man, as stable as Mount Tai, which is enough to show that this person has deep scheming and is not easy to deal with.

Today's imperial capital is full of turbulence, King Qin is determined to seize the throne, and Xie Yun is the first one to get rid of.

Yes, which side should I choose?

But... But in the end, it was Xie Yun who inherited the throne!
Sheng Ning let out a long sigh, patted Jiang Nan's head, and tried to persuade him: "Xiao Nanzi, a man, it's fine to hook up or play with, but don't be emotional!"

At the hour of the hour, the sky was already bright, and the sun was slanting down. The rare flowers in the yard were colorful, lining up the simple yard, and the scenery was pleasant.

"Ma'am, ma'am!"

Jiang Nan was dressed in plain clothes, and was about to bring Xie Shu to pay homage to her mother when Dingdong rushed in from the courtyard in a panic, carrying a vegetable basket.

"Frizzled, you better have something important to do!" Jiang Nan gave him a displeased sideways glance.

"Something has happened! A female corpse was found in the moat this morning, and someone recognized it...it was Jiang Ying!" Ding Dong looked at Jiang Nan timidly, with a hint of suspicion in it.

"What? Jiang Ying is dead?!" Jiang Nan stood up abruptly, with surprise in her eyes.

"Ma'am, it's not your fault, is it?" Ding Dong asked in a low voice.

Jiang Nan was stunned, then patted Dingdong's head vigorously, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Are you stupid? Since you heard my conversation with Jiang Ying that day, you shouldn't ask such a question. If I want to kill her I have already started, why bother talking to her so much?"

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Nan decided to go back to Jiang's house first.

The door of the Zhuhong Jiang family was closed, and no visitors were allowed. Jiang Taiwei had just come down to court, and when he heard the news, his old face was gloomy, and he couldn't sit still, pacing around in the front hall.

"Did the second child come back? Is Ying'er the one who died? Yuan'er is about to get married. It's really bad luck for my younger sister to die at this juncture!"

The steward hurried in from the door, and said with a pale face, "Second master is back, and Jing Zhaoyin's people have also come, saying that it is a routine interrogation!"

"Trial for what? What is there to interrogate? I have a granddaughter who died, how dare you come to interrogate me?" Jiang Taiwei stared, looking out like a torch.

The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, and a group of people rushed in aggressively. Jiang Huai followed behind, running in a panic and unable to stop.

"I've seen Mr. Taiwei! I have to go to your mansion to investigate in detail because of my duty as an officer. Please forgive me, Taiwei!" Jingzhao Mansion Yin was the first to be courteous and then the soldier, with a flattering smile all over his face.

"Ying'er has been careless since she was a child. Maybe she was walking in the middle of the night and accidentally fell into the water. According to me, let's settle the case and don't need to investigate!" Jiang Taiwei waved his hand and was about to issue an order to evict the guest.

The Governor of Jingzhao House laughed, and said in a loud voice: "The Taiwei's words are wrong. I have been appointed by the Emperor to be the Governor of Jingzhao Prefecture. I will report the case to the judge! After the autopsy, the deceased Jiang Ying was murdered. Every murder case must be strictly investigated! This is the law issued by Emperor Taizu when he was in power!"

Emperor Taizu was brought out to suppress him, what else Jiang Taiwei could say was left to people to investigate.

When Jiang Nan entered the mansion, the Jingzhao Mansion had already questioned all the people in the Jiang Mansion who had dealings with Jiang Ying, and all the maids and servants in Jiang Ying's courtyard were taken away.

"She! That's her! A few days ago, my girl saw her, and she kept having nightmares when she came back! She must have killed my girl!" Ziying, Jiang Ying's personal maid, pointed at Jiang Nan and shouted loudly.

This voice attracted everyone's attention.

"What are you screaming about? She is the princess of Nanling County. She just returned to Beijing not long ago. How could she kill Ying'er when she was so nice?" Jiang Huai stood up, wanting to slap the troublemaker to death with a slap.

"Father, I'm divorced."

"...When?" Jiang Huai opened his mouth, stunned.
