The scumbag ex-husband knelt down to salute, and gritted his teeth to meet the emperor's aunt

Inside Yukun Palace.

The queen looked at the letterhead in her hand and set her eyes on Ningyun beside her, "Ningyun, how do you think Xiaoxiao is doing in Lushui Pass these days?"

Ning Yun took a step forward and looked at the empress with a smile on her face, "Your Majesty, the county lord is talented and intelligent and will come back no matter what happens."

Listening to Ningyun's words, the empress did not show any emotion on her face, but when she saw the end of the letter, she turned her eyes to her and whispered, "Ningyun, please go to Yugan Palace and invite Your Majesty over here, I have something to say Discuss with him."

Watching Ningyun go away, she ordered other maids to prepare fruit snacks.

She read the letter Jiang Xi sent back over and over again, and at the end of the letter it was clearly written, asking about Princess Xuanyang.

Princess Xuanyang left the fief because of Jiang Yu marrying his wife Shen Ning. In recent years, no one has contacted her except the Queen Mother.

Fugu County seems to be close to Nanyue, only one river away from Nanyue, and Nanyue is on the other side of the river.

Thinking of this, the queen turned her attention to the letter at hand again. Could it be that Jiang Xi met Princess Xuanyang at Lushui Pass?
She doesn't know much about Princess Xuanyang, the only thing she knows is that Princess Xuanyang likes Jiang Yu, but it's a pity that this matter was left behind because Jiang Yu married Shen Ning.

The queen put aside all the thoughts in her mind, raised her hand and rubbed the center of her brows, and sat there waiting for Ning and Emperor to arrive.

"Why did the queen ask me to come here?"

Hearing Ning Hedi's voice, the queen looked up and saw him walking towards this side with a smile on his face.

"Sanlang, this concubine wants to tell you something?" The queen walked up to Emperor Ning and pulled him to sit down on the chair next to him.

She handed Jiang Xi's letter in front of him, "An Le sent a letter saying that she wanted to know something about Princess Xuanyang, but the concubine didn't know anything about her."

Ning Hedi took the letter paper that the queen handed her, and looked at it carefully. Apart from explaining some daily routines, he asked Princess Xuanyang at the end of the letter paper.

After Ning Hedi thought for a long time, he began to write back to Jiang Xi.

The eldest princess of Xuanyang, Gu Jinyue, grew up with the three of them. Gu Jinyue always thought that she would become Jiang Yu's wife, and she always strictly demanded herself according to his wife.

But when Gu Jinyue confessed to Jiang Yu, he was rejected by Jiang Yu. He also said that he treated Gu Jinyue like a brother and sister, and he had no affection for Gu Jinyue.

Unable to bear the pain, Gu Jinyue left Chang'an on the day Jiang Yu and Shen Ning got married, and it is said that she went to the feudal land of Fugu County.

After that, he never appeared in Chang'an City again.

Emperor Ninghe wrote down everything about Princess Xuanyang verbatim, and finally asked about the situation at Lushui Pass.

If Lushuiguan is really captured by He Lianrong, then not only the people of Lushuiguan will be sacrificed, but everyone may be sacrificed.

Ning Hedi naturally believed in Jiang Yu's daughter, but he also knew He Lianrong's name very well, so he could only hope that Jiang Xi would come back smoothly.

Otherwise, there is really no way to explain to Jiang Yu.

"Sanlang, why do you think An Le asked about Princess Xuanyang in such a polite way?"

Ning Hedi looked at the queen and shook his head, "Probably met Xuan Yang. According to Xuan Yang's character, she liked Jiang Qing back then, and she should also like Jiang Qing's daughter very much now."

The queen shook her head listening to Ning Hedi's words, "I don't think so."

"The eldest princess likes Jiang Qing. Jiang Qing married Ning Ning. Although An Le's facial features are [-]% similar to Jiang Qing's, her eyes are exactly the same as Ning Ning's."

The queen frowned when she said this, "According to the character of the eldest princess, she doesn't like An Le at all."

Not only will she not like it, she may even find various ways to deal with her!
Sensing Ning Hedi's gaze, the queen continued to speak, "Sanlang, I'm a little worried about An Le now, An Le is definitely not a match for the Eldest Princess at such a young age."

"An Le is not a fool, she must know what to do? What's more, since she goes to Lushui Pass, she won't show her true face to others, so she might be able to escape."

The Queen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ning Hedi's comfort.

"This kid An Le is brave and resourceful, even more powerful than we imagined, you don't have to worry." Ning Hedi patted the Queen's shoulder as he spoke.

Jiang Yu didn't know anything about Ning Hedi and the Empress.

Ever since Jiang Xi left, Jiang Yu received a secret letter.

The content of the secret letter was about Shen Ning's death that year, Jiang Yu frowned solemnly when he saw the familiar signature.

After Jiang Yu burned the letter in his hand, he glanced at the things that came with the letter.

There is a thick stack of documents in the sandalwood box. Among the collected documents, it is clearly written how the Zhu family killed Shen Ning back then.

Shen Ning's death was indeed caused by Mrs. Zhu.

But in fact, Jiang Yu knew very well that the person who caused Shen Ning's death was not Zhu Shi, but the person behind Zhu Shi.

As for who the person behind Zhu's is, he still doesn't know.

Jiang Yu closed the sandalwood box, stood up and glanced at the scenery outside the window.

Today about Jiang Yin and Jiang Xu, he has already heard the report from the secret guard, but it was the Zhu family who beat Jiang Yin, and Jiang Yin cleaned up and went back to the third prince's mansion.

As for Jiang Xu...

Jiang Yu thought of the maid from before, and went to look for Mrs. Zhu.

Mrs. Zhu looked at Zhu Sha in front of Shenshang House and said in a low voice, "Did you say I did something wrong today? I didn't expect that I would be against..."

"Madam did nothing wrong." Zhu Sha looked at Zhu Shi and comforted her, "Young lady is no longer a child, she should be responsible for her actions."

"You will have to rely on the second son for the water splashed by your married daughter." Zhu Sha lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes.

"Although the second son is a little bit generous, at least he respects you as a mother. Is it possible that the madam still expects the eldest son to take care of you in the future?"

"That's naturally impossible." Zhu retorted without thinking, "You still don't understand the character of the eldest son?"

Jiang Xuan's face appeared in Zhu's mind again.

It has to be said that that face is almost exactly the same as Zhu's, only the eyes are most similar to Jiang Yu.

Because of this, every time she saw Jiang Xuan's face, she felt as if she saw Mrs. Xian.

She was terrified of that face, as if as long as she saw that face, she would think of Mrs. Xian before she died.

It is also because of this that she will do everything possible to kill Jiang Yao.

She believed that Jiang Yao would look similar to Shen Ning when she grew up, and if she kept it, there would be endless troubles.

Zhu Shi raised her eyes and saw Jiang Yu's figure. She set her eyes on Jiang Yu, and when she was about to speak, she heard Jiang Yu's voice.

"I have something to ask you."

Seeing the expression on Jiang Yu's face, Mrs. Zhu waved at Zhu Sha beside her to signal her to back down.

Seeing the cinnabar brought to the door, Mrs. Zhu looked up at Jiang Yu and bowed to salute, "I don't know what orders the master has?"

"I've heard about Jiang Xu." Jiang Yu sat down in front of Mrs. Zhu.

"Even though Lianqiao used to be the servant girl beside Concubine Jiang Shu, she is now Concubine Lian." When Jiang Yu said these things, there was no trace of emotion in her words.

"Lian side concubine?" Zhu raised her eyes slightly to look at Jiang Yu, "Isn't the fourth girl a side concubine?"

She moved her throat and said nothing for a while, "When was she demoted to concubine concubine?"

Jiang Yu looked at Zhu Shi and sneered.

"Master..." Mrs. Zhu clenched the hand hanging by her side, "I..."

"Didn't you always pay the most attention to Concubine Jiang Shu? During the days when she came back, she didn't tell you these things?" Jiang Yu said mockingly, "Or do you mean that you only have sons and no daughters in your heart?"

Zhu Shi pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you until you tell who is behind the scenes." Jiang Yu stood up and looked at Zhu Shi condescendingly.

"No matter who is behind you, you will find out one day!"

"Why do you always think that there is someone behind me?" Zhu said in a low voice, "I didn't kill my wife back then."

Standing in front of her, Jiang Yu still didn't say a word, only his eyes were so cold that there was no emotion.

"I said before that these things have nothing to do with me. I am also very sad that my sister died of blood collapse." Zhu's eyes were red when he said this.

"My sister and I love the same sisters..."

"Enough!" Jiang Yu interrupted her coldly, "I don't want to hear these words anymore!"

"Master, it's been such a long time, why don't you want to believe me?" Zhu's eyes were full of mist, "My sister's death really has nothing to do with me."

"Really?" Jiang Yu slightly raised his eyes to look at Zhu Shi, "It doesn't matter?"

He didn't give Zhu Shi a chance to speak, and stretched out his hand to pinch Zhu Shi's chin, "Zhu Shi, if you say such a thing, won't you be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"

Ignoring the expression on Zhu's face, Jiang Yu continued, "Don't look at me with such eyes, I will feel very sick."

Jiang Yu reached out and patted Zhu's face and said softly, "I'm still saying the same thing as before, unless you tell me who is behind the scenes, you will never have credibility with me."

"Just because I like you too?" Zhu Shi looked at Jiang Yu and said in a low voice, "No matter what I say, I am your concubine, why can't you trust me!" His tone was also pleading, "I am I really like you."

"You do it for yourself!" Jiang Yu said as he flung his sleeves and left, his back even showing determination.

Seeing Jiang Yu's leaving figure, Mrs. Zhu smashed everything on the table angrily.

After Jiang Yu returned to the room, he looked up at Danqing hanging on the wall, and murmured in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will definitely find your murderer and make her pay the price."

"Ah Xuan is currently guarding the southern border, Xiaoxiao is now helping His Majesty in Lushuiguan to solve the difficulties in Lushuiguan, Yao'er has gone to Suiyang Academy to study, don't worry, I will accompany you after everything is over." As he spoke, he raised his hand to caress Danqing's cheek.

"Ma'am, why are you always not as good as Meng coming to me these years? Are you blaming me for not avenging you?" Jiang Yu said with a choked voice, "Don't worry, I will definitely come before I go to accompany you Bring the murderer with you."

"Ma'am, do you still remember Princess Xuanyang? She was the little girl who liked to follow behind me before, and now she has grown up too. We have kept in touch all these years."

"After hearing the news of your death back then, I was still very sad." Jiang Yu babbled again in front of Danqing.

"Xuanyang told me a lot about her childhood. I have always regarded Xuanyang as my younger sister these years, and now she lives very well in Fugu County." Jiang Yu slowly closed his eyes as he spoke.

"Although she is not yet married and has children, I still feel sorry for her. If it wasn't for me, Xuanyang wouldn't have been married for so many years."

"Xuanyang is in Fugu County now. After I tell Xiaoxiao about Xuanyang, maybe I can become Xiaoxiao's help!"

……

The news about Jiang Yu's search for Zhu's quickly reached Hongou's ears.

As a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Hong Lotus has a little understanding of the movements of the Prime Minister's Mansion, such as Zhu's slap in the face of Jiang Yin, Jiang Yin's departure from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and other trivial matters.

But what surprised her was Jiang Yu's attitude towards Mrs. Zhu. Judging from what she got, Mrs. Zhu must have a secret that Jiang Yu wanted to know, so she has been kept until now.

Thinking of this, Hong Ou turned her eyes to the man in black, "How is the matter at Lushui Pass?"

"There is no news from there." The man in black looked respectful, "But girl, don't worry, the prince and Miss Jiang Xi are both there, and they will definitely be able to solve the problem."

Naturally, Hongou didn't worry about these things, she just wondered whether this time was enough for Gu Jinzhou to get along with Jiang Xi, enough for Jiang Xi to accept Gu Jinzhou.

Of course, she thought it was unlikely.

"Zhuan Zhu, do you think the master will be with Miss Jiang?" Hong Ou said and glanced at the figure on the tree beside her.

"How do I know about the master?" Zhuan Zhu folded his arms and fell in front of the window, "No matter what, Miss Jiang San is worthy of the prince."

Not only is she worthy of Gu Jinzhou, she even thinks that Gu Jinzhou is not worthy of Jiang Xi at all.

The main reason is that their lord's reputation is too stinky. Now in Chang'an City, no one thinks that Gu Jinzhou is a dude, and he is still an incorrigible kind.

"I don't think the prince is worthy of Miss Jiang San." Hong Ou said without thinking too much, "Miss Jiang San is a well-deserved daughter of heaven, our prince..."

"To put it bluntly, we are trash!" Zhuan Zhu said seriously after thinking for a while, "But we all know that is not the nature of the prince."

Zhuan Zhu's words made Hong Ou laugh, "I can't refute."

The two of them stood at the window chatting one after another, and they didn't really quiet down until the dead of night in Jianjiaju.

After thinking about it for a while, Hong Ou sat down and prepared to write a letter to Jiang Xi. They XingXiu Army also had their own route to send letterheads. Since they didn't tell her about Lushuiguan, then he asked about Lushuiguan by himself. .

Although she didn't understand He Lianrong's character, she had heard so many rumors after all. If Jiang Xi really fell into He Lianrong's hands, she might never return.

In addition to telling Jiang Xi some things, Hongou also told her about Jiang Yin, and finally said some trivial things.

Hong Ou knows that Jiang Xi's skills are good, and she also knows that she has the ability to protect herself, but who knows the result in front of He Lianrong?

But no matter what, she still hopes that Jiang Xi can survive.

At the same time, Lushui Pass.
