cabinet first lady
Chapter 34
Chapter 34
"Master Shen was injured?" Ruan Muyang asked in surprise, "Are there any other officials injured?"
Zhang Anyi nodded, and said in a slightly different tone than usual: "Among the officials present, only she was injured. At that time, the assassin was running towards the emperor, and Shen Sikong stood in front of the emperor."
Ruan Muyang imagined the scene of the close call, and was speechless.
Shen Wei is a woman, what kind of determination and courage can make her stand in front of Shengshang before all men?
At least she, Ruan Muyang, is sacrificing her life now, and she can't do it.
I don't know what Shen Wei's detachment from ordinary women and his fearless approach felt in Zhang Anyi's mind.
Not noticing the disappointment in Ruan Muyang's eyes with drooping eyes, Zhang Anyi stroked her cheek affectionately and said, "Madam, go to bed first, I'll go and see her."
Watching Zhang Anyi leave, Ruan Muyang was silent for a while, and suddenly called out to the enamel outside.
"What are your orders, madam?"
Ruan Muyang's eyes no longer had the depression and melancholy just now.She ordered: "I'll go out for a while, you stay here for me, don't tell anyone, including the second master."
Fang Fang asked in surprise: "Ma'am, it's so late, you just had trouble with assassins, where are you going?"
"Don't worry, it's okay. I'll go back as soon as I go."
The shame in his heart made Ruan Muyang feel a huge sense of crisis, and he felt uneasy after Zhang Anyi left.Going to visit at night, lonely men and widows, she was really disturbed and wanted to see what happened.
What is the secret between Zhang Anyi and Shen Wei?
Ruan Muyang found Shen Wei's residence, and no one suspected him along the way.
Fortunately, Shen Wei is used to being alone all day, there are not even servants and guards in the courtyard.Ruan Muyang quietly approached the only room in the courtyard that was lit with dim candlelight.
As a woman from an official family, she was raised to be dignified and dignified since she was a child, except for one time at the door of Zhang Anyi's study, this was the most sneaky thing she had ever done.
Through the open window, Ruan Muyang vaguely saw two figures, one sitting on the bed and the other standing beside the bed, they were Shen Wei and Zhang Anyi.
They seemed to have an argument, and the atmosphere in the room was somewhat silent.
"You really shouldn't be taking such a risk today." Hearing Zhang Anyi's voice, Ruan Muyang was stunned.
There was no gentleness in his voice, and his tone seemed to be a different person.
Shen Wei who was sitting on the bed raised his head, his thin and pale face was mocking, and his tone was not polite at all: "Zhang Er! If it wasn't for you, would I be in danger?"
Zhang Anyi turned a blind eye to Shen Wei's sarcasm, and still said calmly: "You are a heroine, it's too dangerous to join the cabinet, it's too dangerous to be near the Holy Majesty, and it's easy to be discovered."
Although Ruan Muyang had already guessed that he knew Shen Wei was a woman, but hearing him say it so calmly now, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"That's why you recommended me to go to the Imperial College? To teach?" Shen Wei's voice slowly became cold, "I'm a man! Zhang Er, you are slandering the court Commander."
Regarding Shen Wei's temper, Zhang Anyi has always tolerated it. : "Going to the Imperial College is very suitable for you. I will do what you want to do for you."
Shen Wei seemed to be stimulated by Zhang Anyi's words, and suddenly knelt down on the bed, pushed Zhang Anyi who was standing by the bed, and said with red eyes: "Who wants you to vindicate me? Why are you meddling in other things?" ? I will solve our family's affairs myself!"
Ruan Muyang, who was hiding outside, was startled by Shen Wei's sudden attack.She originally thought that Shen Wei's figure was thinner, her face was softer, and she no longer had the characteristics of a woman, but she didn't want to see her in this scene.
Shen Wei is still a woman after all.
It seems that her relationship with Zhang Anyi is not as harmonious as she thought.But during the dispute between the two, Shen Wei's unscrupulousness and Zhang Anyi's willingness to fight back revealed the intimacy between them.
Ruan Muyang didn't feel well in his heart, he just felt sore in his heart as if he was being grabbed, and wanted to grab something in his hands to fill the feeling of emptiness in his heart.She was always cautious when facing Zhang Anyi, except before the bed, she had never lost her temper with him, let alone spoke like this without any scruples.
After Shen Wei's voice fell, the room suddenly fell silent.
Even though she was caught off guard and staggered a bit, Zhang Anyi's face remained calm.He looked at her with no anger in his eyes, only a trace of helplessness.
Seeing that Shen Wei frowned and his breathing was a little short, his voice sounded: "Be careful with your hands."
He is like this, no matter what happens, no matter who he meets, he always looks tolerant, those eyes covered by a gentle smile are bottomless, and seem to be able to include everything in the world, gentle The humble appearance seems to have been soaked through the ages, and it will remain unchanged forever.
Shen Wei covered his arms and sneered, and said with a hint of weakness in his voice: "Zhang Er, I hate your hypocritical and harmless appearance the most. Everyone in the world is deceived by your gentleness. How would they know? I'm afraid Luo Jie and Xu Hou are not as sophisticated as you."
Shen Wei's words were not loud, Ruan Muyang heard the vagueness outside, but he could hear the general meaning.
She was surprised by Shen Wei's evaluation of Zhang Anyi.
Is he really what Shen Wei said?
In the past, Ruan Muyang only thought that he was too profound, and that his kindness to her was a bit unreasonable and unreal, but he never thought that she was not the only one thinking about these things.She suddenly felt that she had never understood him or seen through him, and she lived in the illusion he gave people just like the world in Shen Wei's mouth.
But she had already lost her heart in this illusion.
How sincere is he to her?
After reliving this life, even though she was bullied by Xie Zhao, looked down upon by others, and even when she planned to save the Ruan family by herself, she never felt so lonely and helpless like now, as if she had lost everything.
For Shen Wei's evaluation, Zhang Anyi did not refute, and still stood with his hands behind his back, standing upright like those green bamboos in Chuanyunyuan, as if acquiescing to that evaluation.
Feeling the wind coming in from outside, he glanced at the window and said, "You have an injury and it's not good to blow the wind. You don't have a single guard in your residence. I'll arrange two for you tomorrow."
Realizing that Zhang Anyi was about to walk towards the window, Ruan Muyang knew that he would be found here again, so he left in a hurry.
Ruan Muyang returned to his yard in a daze.
Fang Fang was startled when she saw it: "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Ruan Muyang suppressed the disappointment in his heart, his eyes regained brightness and asked, "Is there anything unusual about the time I've been away?"
Enamel shook his head.
"Okay, don't tell me when the second master comes back later." Ruan Muyang reminded.
Although Enamel didn't understand what happened, she still nodded.After all, she is from Ruan Muyang's place.
Zhang Anyi came back from Shen Weichu and was a little surprised to find that Ruan Muyang was still awake.
"Why isn't Madam still asleep?" He walked up to her, stroked her face tenderly, and said with pity in his tone, "The journey is hard, Madam has lost weight."
His gentle and pampered movements and tone made Ruan Muyang's heart soften, and he almost fell into it again.Putting her mind away, she smiled at him very gently and said: "I heard that Master Shen is ill, I am a little worried, and asked Fang Fang to prepare some parts we brought over, and let the second master bring them to her tomorrow."
"Madam has a heart." Zhang Anyi's fingers lingered on her delicate skin.
Ruan Muyang lowered his eyes, and asked tentatively: "Second Master, I have never heard of Master Shen's residence. I don't know where Master Shen's residence is? Second Master and her are classmates and colleagues, and there will be more families in the future. Contact." After she came back, she thought for a long time and didn't know what "rehabilitation" Shen Wei was talking about.The only thing she knows is that Zhang Anyi knows everything about Shen Wei and has a close relationship with her, otherwise he wouldn't say to do what she wants to do for her.
He took everything on himself in such an understatement, any woman would feel admiration and promise in her heart after hearing this.
Zhang Anyi glanced at her calmly, the gentleness in his eyes changed for a moment, and then returned to gentleness in an instant, and said with a sigh in his tone: "Shen Sikong... Her parents died in the early years, only the Shen family is left. Give her a single seedling."
Unexpectedly, Shen Wei was the only one left in the Shen family.Ruan Muyang heard the tragedy and blood from these words.
Those who need to be rehabilitated must be officials who have been wronged and persecuted.Ruan Muyang quickly thought of the officials whose family had been implicated in these years.
However, Emperor Wu was suspicious and bloodthirsty, and countless officials had been ransacked and executed in recent years.
"How could this be?" Ruan Muyang was surprised.
"Natural disasters, the world is impermanent."
It is true that things are impermanent.As an official in the court, no one can think about what will happen in the future, maybe one day they will be implicated.
Ruan Muyang knew that this was just rhetoric.Shen Wei's experience is almost guessed, and she can empathize with the same experience in her previous life.Only with such determination can she rush in front of all the ministers and guards in times of crisis, and rescue him as a woman.
For Shen Wei, Ruan Muyang's mood became complicated.
Because of the remnants of the previous dynasty, the guards became more stringent.
The assassin was not caught for a long time, and Emperor Wu was furious, and with the intention of competing with the remnants of the previous dynasty, he announced that he would go to Tai'an Prefecture according to the original plan, and dared to sacrifice to Mount Tai at the auspicious time calculated by Qintian Supervisor.
All the ministers blocked him, which made Emperor Wu furious.
"There are so many of you, are you actually no better than a few assassins? If so, what use is it for me to support you!"
The ministers did not dare to stop, and the sacrifice to Mount Tai proceeded as planned.King Yong'an, who was in charge of catching assassins, arranged guards around Emperor Wu, and never let up in the investigation of suspicious people around him.
After three days, the team finally arrived in Tai'an Prefecture. Perhaps because many guards were arranged, the journey was very peaceful.
After resting for a day, Emperor Wu first took his ministers to Qinguan Peak, the place where the sages live in a small world, and Guanri Peak.On the second day, it was ready to sacrifice to the God of Mount Tai.
Women were not allowed to sacrifice to Mount Tai, so they all stayed in the palace at the foot of the mountain.
Because Huaguang has always had the custom of offering sacrifices to Mount Tai, every king came to sacrifice to Mount Tai during his reign, so a palace was built at the foot of Mount Tai.
Ruan Muyang had nothing to do, so bored in the room, he took the enamel and walked around the bonsai garden in the palace.
This palace is well maintained, especially the bonsai garden, which is almost the most precious and rare in the world, and each one is like a small scene of Mount Tai.
While Ruan Muyang was visiting the bonsai garden, two people suddenly appeared from the corner.
Seeing that they were dressed as court ladies, she didn't care, but when they passed by, a dagger was placed on her neck.
"It's finally you." One of them sneered at Ruan Muyang.
"Who are you!" Ruan Muyang froze and didn't dare to move, listening to the movement around him, hoping someone would pass by.
The enamel was so excited that she wanted to rush over, but was knocked out by another person.
"Enamel! Enamel!" Ruan Muyang cried out worriedly.
The dagger was pressed against her neck. "Speak out again and I'll kill you right now!"
Ruan Muyang immediately fell silent.
"Take us to the place where Concubine Ruan lives!" the woman holding the dagger twisted her and said.
Ruan Muyang immediately understood their identities, and ignored the pain in his hands, he said in surprise, "You are from the former dynasty!" Unexpectedly, Emperor Wu went to sacrifice Taishan and took away most of the guards, but the assassin took the opportunity to enter the palace inside.Emperor Wu had no chance to kill, so they wanted to assassinate Concubine Ruan and the wives of the court ministers.
"Just know!" Another woman said, "With so much nonsense, let's tell about your affair with King Yong'an when you were in Jinan!"
Ruan Muyang's expression changed.
Unexpectedly, in Jinan before, the matter between her and Xie Zhao was seen by others.
In other words, the assassin came to inquire before, and then found her breakthrough, and has been waiting for the opportunity.
The woman holding the dagger took Ruan Muyang's silence as panic, smiled disdainfully and said, "You just need to bring us to Concubine Ruan, and when we die, no one will know that you brought us. If you don't want to , we will kill you, strip you naked and throw you at the gate of the city, and then tell you about the matter with King Yongan, so that you will not be able to die in peace, and your reputation will be ruined!" She said, holding a dagger on Ruan Muyang's neck Grind lightly.
"Okay, I promise you." The coldness of the dagger and the tingling pain from his neck made Ruan Muyang's feet go weak.But she forced herself to remain calm and think of a way.
If she was brought to Concubine Ruan in person, even if Concubine Ruan was killed, she would not be able to survive, and these two people would not survive.If people were brought in front of Concubine Ruan and they failed in the assassination, she would still not be able to survive after being investigated, and the Zhang family and the Ruan family would be implicated.
These two women know how to fight, and she has no possibility of escape.
It's almost a dead end.
But even in a dead end, she still has to find a way out!
How could she, Ruan Muyang, walk so carefully to the present, fall into the hands of the two remnants of the former dynasty!
"Don't make any crooked ideas! Hurry up and leave!" The dagger hit Ruan Muyang's back.
Ruan Muyang was pushed and staggered, and was forced to walk out of the bonsai garden.The two assassins followed her, if not for the daggers, they would really look like two maids.
Occasionally, one or two court ladies and eunuchs would pass by on the road. At this time, Ruan Muyang felt the dagger on his back tightened, as if it would penetrate her body as soon as she moved.
Ruan Muyang obediently did not make a sound.It's not that she gave up asking for help, but it's useless like two court ladies or eunuchs asking for help. When they went to ask someone to catch the assassin, the dagger behind her had already been inserted into her body.
The court ladies and eunuchs are not good. Concubine Ruan and the wives of some ministers are the targets of assassins, let alone bring assassins there, and the accompanying ministers all followed Emperor Wu to sacrifice to Mount Tai.
No, one person didn't go.
Shen Wei was injured.Because of her meritorious service in escorting, Emperor Wu granted her permission to recuperate in the palace.
She still remembered that Zhang Anyi said that he would send her two guards that night.
Only her.
Ruan Muyang didn't expect that one day his life would be in Shen Wei's hands, and his mood was very complicated.
I just hope that she can find the abnormality.
Feeling concerned, Ruan Muyang led them towards Shen Wei's residence.
Those two people seemed to realize something, and one of them said suspiciously: "Is this the way to Concubine Ruan's residence? Don't play tricks!"
Ruan Muyang said in a panic: "This is the road." She did take a detour, this road can not only pass by Shen Wei's residence, but also lead to Concubine Ruan's residence.Fortunately, they moved to the palace at the foot of Mount Tai. The guards were heavily guarded before, and the assassins had no chance to sneak in to find out. They might have figured out where they lived in Jinan Mansion.
Along the way, Ruan Muyang was thinking about how to get Shen Wei to notice her.
Originally, she planned to do her best to make a big noise when the time came, but as long as Shen Wei noticed, the two assassins were afraid of the guards around her and would not dare to kill themselves on the spot.
In the end, even God was helping her.
When she led the two assassins through Shen Wei's residence, Shen Wei was sunbathing outside and happened to see her.
"Sister-in-law."
Feeling the dagger on her back pressed tightly against her again, Ruan Muyang smiled as usual and said, "Is the injury on Master Shen's back better?"
Shen Wei looked at Ruan Muyang suspiciously.Everyone knew that she was injured on her arm, how could it be on her back?
"Thank you, Mrs. Sister-in-law, for your concern. It's all right."
Ruan Muyang showed a gentle smile on his face and said: "I have always cared about Mr. Shen's body, as long as there is no serious problem, it will save me from worrying about it. Now the assassin doesn't know where, sir, be careful. I still have to go to Concubine Ruan There, go first."
Following Ruan Muyang and leaving, one of the assassins seemed to be disgusted by her ambiguous gaze at Shen Wei just now, and scolded extremely disdainfully: "Slut!"
Ruan Muyang didn't care about these.
At this moment, her heart was beating fast.It has already behaved so abnormally, I hope Shen can't notice it.
Shen Wei recalled Ruan Muyang's words just now, frowned, and then looked thoughtfully at the back of her leaving with the two maids.As if seeing something, she was startled suddenly, and said to the two guards: "I'm afraid some assassins have sneaked in, how many people are left in the palace?"
On the other side, after seeing Shen Wei, Ruan Muyang subconsciously slowed down and waited.
The waiting time was always long and anxious. She was so nervous that her forehead began to sweat, and she was about to reach Concubine Ruan's residence after another turn.If Shen Wei didn't show up yet, she might have to fight to the death at that time, because the escort died at the hands of the assassin, at least it wouldn't hurt the Zhang family and the Ruan family.
At least there were so many guards and ministers present when Shen Wei rescued Emperor Wu, but she really wanted to fight with flesh and blood.
Suddenly, the two assassins sensed a change and stopped.
Ruan Muyang, who was forced to stop, heaved a sigh of relief.It seems to be saved.
At this moment, she could no longer care about her back that was hurt by the dagger.
Afterwards, a dozen guards appeared from all sides and surrounded them.
The two assassins were caught off guard and looked around vigilantly.
Shen Wei appeared from among the guards, standing with his hands behind his back, his back straight.Although she is a woman, her long-term male attire makes her behave in a non-feminine manner, and she looks like a minister in charge of the guards, full of momentum.She said in a cold voice: "Protect Mrs. Zhang and take down the assassin! Keep alive!"
No matter how powerful the two female assassins were in martial arts, they still couldn't escape the siege of a dozen guards.
After realizing that she had been tricked, one of them looked at Ruan Muyang resentfully: "It's you who tricked me!" As he said that, he wanted to stab her in the back with a dagger.
Fortunately, when the dagger pierced her clothes and she felt a clear pain in her back, the female assassin was restrained.
The sound of fighting caught Concubine Ruan's attention in the yard not far away.Concubine Ruan and the women saw such a tense scene when they came out.
Ruan Muyang, who was finally out of danger, was pushed aside.Losing the confinement, her feet became weak and she almost fell.Fortunately, Shen Wei helped her in time.
"Thank you, Lord Shen!"
Shen Wei looked at the woman in front of her who looked embarrassed, her face was pale, but she was trying to maintain her composure and did not lose her demeanor, her eyes were a little complicated and she said: "If it weren't for Mrs. Sister-in-law who is unruffled and witty in times of crisis, today's consequences would be unimaginable."
He always cared about Shen Wei in his heart, and had to admire her carefulness, and had to thank her for saving him. The complicated emotions made Ruan Muyang feel a little bit competitive, unwilling to show weakness, and unwilling to show weakness. Look, even though she was so frightened that she wanted to cry.
"Master Shen, the two assassins have been captured!" The guards tied up the two female assassins.
Shen Wei narrowed his eyes and said: "Take care of them for now to prevent them from committing suicide, and we will make a decision when the emperor returns."
Afterwards, he walked towards Concubine Ruan and several women who were still in shock, bowed and said, "You have surprised the empress and all the wives, the assassin has been arrested. For safety's sake, you should be more careful."
"Thanks to Master Shen." Concubine Ruan said, "When the Holy Majesty returns, I will definitely report to the Holy Majesty and reward him for meritorious service."
Shen Wei became more modest: "Mistress Xie, these are what I should do."
Ruan Muyang saw everyone's reactions in his eyes, and the complexity in his heart was beyond words.How could they have imagined that Master Shen, who was in charge of the overall situation and led his bodyguards to arrest the assassins in the face of danger, was actually a woman!
When he returned to his residence, seeing that Fang Fang hadn't come back, Ruan Muyang immediately sent someone to look for it in the bonsai garden.Sure enough, she was still there.
After waking up, Fang Fang saw Ruan Muyang and immediately cried out: "Ma'am, are you okay? Are you injured?" Although Fang Fang is not as good as Dian Cuihui, she is very loyal to her.
Mentioning the injury, Ruan Muyang felt that the place on his back that was touched by the dagger was still hurting, so he took off his clothes and let Fang Fang take a look.
"Ma'am, there is really a gash, and it's bleeding."
After taking the medicine, Ruan Muyang changed his clothes and waited for Emperor Wu to summon him when he came back.
With such a big event happening, and she has been in contact with the assassin for so long, she will definitely be summoned.
In the evening, Emperor Wu heard about the assassin when he returned from offering sacrifices to Mount Tai.
At Shenshi, Emperor Wu sent someone to summon Ruan Muyang.
When Ruan Muyang arrived, Shen Wei, Zhang Anyi, Xie Zhao and others were all there.The two captured assassins were being tied up and kneeling in the middle.
"The courtier's wife sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
"Girl of the Ruan family, I saw you in Yuxiu Palace the year before last, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ruan Muyang stood up.
All the ministers were present, but she was the only woman, and all eyes were on her.And she immediately felt the familiar and gentle gaze from Zhang Anyi.She raised her head slightly to look at him, just in time to look into his deep eyes.
Xie Zhao, who was on the side, saw the eye contact between the couple, and slightly curled his lips in the direction of Ruan Muyang.
"I heard from Shen Qing that this time, thanks to your unruffled presence, you dealt with the two assassins and tried your best to remind him." Emperor Wu's tone was full of appreciation.
Ruan Muyang immediately said: "It's thanks to Mr. Shen's carefulness, otherwise I would definitely not be able to compete with the assassin with the strength of my wife alone."
Seeing that she not only remained calm in the face of danger, but also did not ask for credit, with a calm and dignified demeanor showing respect to him without flinching, Emperor Wu was even more satisfied.He looked at Zhang Anyi and said, "I've heard about the origin of your marriage, and I think it's all fate. Your grandfather should be happy to have such a grandson-in-law."
Zhang Anyi immediately said: "The emperor is right. To be able to marry Mu Yang as a wife is indeed a blessing for me."
Ruan Muyang was blushed by his confession in front of the Holy Master, but he was calm.It's not just that he didn't care about what he said, but also because his heart is so strong that he is invulnerable.
Seeing Zhang Anyi and Ruan Muyang's affectionate appearance, Emperor Wu said with some emotion: "Back then, I and Empress Xiaojing were like you."
When Emperor Wu mentioned Empress Xiaojing, no one dared to speak.
"Okay, both Shen Qing and Zhang Qing's wives have made contributions this time, and I will definitely reward them heavily!"
After Emperor Wu's words fell, the assassin kneeling on the ground suddenly sneered.
The sneer was so abrupt that everyone frowned.Ruan Muyang suddenly thought of something, and his heart arose.
The assassin had obviously put life and death aside, looked angrily at Ruan Muyang who made them fall short, and said mockingly: "Emperor Dog, you probably don't know? Your son is having an affair with the wife of the courtier, and the court is full of smoke. You're still smiling so happily!"
Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes with killing intent: "What did you say?"
"I've seen it with my own eyes, can it be true?" The female assassin kept looking at Ruan Muyang when she spoke, obviously the "subject's wife" she was referring to was her.
And the only prince who followed Emperor Wu on this tour was Xie Zhao, King of Yongan.
The ministers present were all exquisite-hearted, so they thought of it all at once.The female assassin's words didn't seem to be false, and their eyes began to go back and forth between Ruan Muyang and Xie Zhao.
They all thought of the marriage contract between Xie Zhaozeng and Ruan Muyang at the same time.Later, because Ruan Muyang fell into the water and was rescued by Zhang Anyi, the marriage was abandoned, and there was an uproar in the capital at that time.
Emperor Wu also said that Zhang Anyi and Ruan Muyang were like himself and Empress Xiaojing when they were young, but they were slapped in the face the next moment. "Is what she said true?" His tone was dangerous.
Xie Zhao immediately knelt down and said, "Father! My son is wronged!"
"My wife was wronged!" Although Ruan Muyang didn't want to be in the same camp as Xie Zhao, he had to prove his innocence with him at this moment.
She didn't know what Zhang Anyi's expression was at this time, but she felt that his gaze on her made her breathless.
He is angry now.
Emperor Wu looked at them calmly: "Oh? Wronged? Why are you wronged?"
"My son doesn't know what the intentions of these two assassins are. Although my son and Mrs. Zhang are cousins, they haven't seen each other a few times. How could there be an affair?"
Xie Zhao didn't know that the assassin had seen their entanglement in Jinan, so he naturally had no way to deal with it.
But Ruan Muyang knew it.
After Xie Zhao proved his innocence, Ruan Muyang's calm and crisp voice sounded.
"You said I had an affair with King Yong'an?"
"Yes! You are misbehaving!"
Under the testimony of the assassin, Ruan Muyang straightened his back and was watched by everyone calmly, without a trace of panic in his voice: "I can have an affair with King Yong'an just by being cousins. Is it even more unclear between Mr. Shen and Master Shen who saved me?"
The assassin hated Ruan Muyang very much, and he did see her ambiguous gaze towards Shen Weishi before, so he said without thinking, "That's right! "
Ruan Muyang curled his lips in a funny way, and stopped talking to the assassin, but looked at Emperor Wu and said, "Your Majesty, the assassin is obviously taking revenge on the minister's wife. According to her words, the minister's wife has an affair with everyone!"
Her voice has a woman's unique softness, but it is powerful.
Xie Zhao couldn't help but glanced at her, feeling that Ruan Muyang was a bit unfamiliar with this matter.Compared with her words, his self-professed words seemed a little pale.
He actually needed her help.Although he knew that if she hadn't been involved in it, she would never have asked to help her.
At this time, Shen Wei knelt down immediately, and said firmly: "Your Majesty, the relationship between the minister and Mrs. Zhang is innocent! Please also ask the emperor to learn! The assassin has bad intentions and intends to slander the minister, Prince Yu, and ask the emperor to issue an order to punish the assassin , catch his accomplices!"
"Shen Qing is hurt, get up quickly."
Originally, Emperor Wu believed sixty percent of what the assassin said, because why did the assassin only talk about Ruan Muyang and Xie Zhao and not others?
The other people present also thought the same as Emperor Wu.
But now the assassin said that Ruan Muyang had an affair with Shen Wei like a mad dog biting someone, so the previous credibility was not great.
Only then did the assassin know Ruan Muyang's intentions, and looked at her angrily, but it was too late.
Just when Emperor Wu was silent, as if he was distinguishing the truth from the assassin's words, Zhang Anyi suddenly walked up to the front and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I believe in Mu Yang's character, and I will never do such a thing." The voice was not loud, just as gentle as he used to be.
"Please, Your Majesty, be careful!"
"Please, Your Majesty, be careful!"
"Father, please enlighten me!"
Emperor Wu looked at Zhang Anyi, Ruan Muyang, Shen Wei, and Xie Zhao who were kneeling on the ground, and finally said: "The assassin has ulterior motives. I ordered King Yong'an to investigate this matter thoroughly. Zhang Anyi assisted and captured the accomplice. Shen Qing rescued him twice. For meritorious service, he was promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of Officials. Zhang Anyi's wife, Ruan Shi, was calm and calm in times of danger, and was awarded the imperial order of the sixth rank."
(End of this chapter)
"Master Shen was injured?" Ruan Muyang asked in surprise, "Are there any other officials injured?"
Zhang Anyi nodded, and said in a slightly different tone than usual: "Among the officials present, only she was injured. At that time, the assassin was running towards the emperor, and Shen Sikong stood in front of the emperor."
Ruan Muyang imagined the scene of the close call, and was speechless.
Shen Wei is a woman, what kind of determination and courage can make her stand in front of Shengshang before all men?
At least she, Ruan Muyang, is sacrificing her life now, and she can't do it.
I don't know what Shen Wei's detachment from ordinary women and his fearless approach felt in Zhang Anyi's mind.
Not noticing the disappointment in Ruan Muyang's eyes with drooping eyes, Zhang Anyi stroked her cheek affectionately and said, "Madam, go to bed first, I'll go and see her."
Watching Zhang Anyi leave, Ruan Muyang was silent for a while, and suddenly called out to the enamel outside.
"What are your orders, madam?"
Ruan Muyang's eyes no longer had the depression and melancholy just now.She ordered: "I'll go out for a while, you stay here for me, don't tell anyone, including the second master."
Fang Fang asked in surprise: "Ma'am, it's so late, you just had trouble with assassins, where are you going?"
"Don't worry, it's okay. I'll go back as soon as I go."
The shame in his heart made Ruan Muyang feel a huge sense of crisis, and he felt uneasy after Zhang Anyi left.Going to visit at night, lonely men and widows, she was really disturbed and wanted to see what happened.
What is the secret between Zhang Anyi and Shen Wei?
Ruan Muyang found Shen Wei's residence, and no one suspected him along the way.
Fortunately, Shen Wei is used to being alone all day, there are not even servants and guards in the courtyard.Ruan Muyang quietly approached the only room in the courtyard that was lit with dim candlelight.
As a woman from an official family, she was raised to be dignified and dignified since she was a child, except for one time at the door of Zhang Anyi's study, this was the most sneaky thing she had ever done.
Through the open window, Ruan Muyang vaguely saw two figures, one sitting on the bed and the other standing beside the bed, they were Shen Wei and Zhang Anyi.
They seemed to have an argument, and the atmosphere in the room was somewhat silent.
"You really shouldn't be taking such a risk today." Hearing Zhang Anyi's voice, Ruan Muyang was stunned.
There was no gentleness in his voice, and his tone seemed to be a different person.
Shen Wei who was sitting on the bed raised his head, his thin and pale face was mocking, and his tone was not polite at all: "Zhang Er! If it wasn't for you, would I be in danger?"
Zhang Anyi turned a blind eye to Shen Wei's sarcasm, and still said calmly: "You are a heroine, it's too dangerous to join the cabinet, it's too dangerous to be near the Holy Majesty, and it's easy to be discovered."
Although Ruan Muyang had already guessed that he knew Shen Wei was a woman, but hearing him say it so calmly now, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"That's why you recommended me to go to the Imperial College? To teach?" Shen Wei's voice slowly became cold, "I'm a man! Zhang Er, you are slandering the court Commander."
Regarding Shen Wei's temper, Zhang Anyi has always tolerated it. : "Going to the Imperial College is very suitable for you. I will do what you want to do for you."
Shen Wei seemed to be stimulated by Zhang Anyi's words, and suddenly knelt down on the bed, pushed Zhang Anyi who was standing by the bed, and said with red eyes: "Who wants you to vindicate me? Why are you meddling in other things?" ? I will solve our family's affairs myself!"
Ruan Muyang, who was hiding outside, was startled by Shen Wei's sudden attack.She originally thought that Shen Wei's figure was thinner, her face was softer, and she no longer had the characteristics of a woman, but she didn't want to see her in this scene.
Shen Wei is still a woman after all.
It seems that her relationship with Zhang Anyi is not as harmonious as she thought.But during the dispute between the two, Shen Wei's unscrupulousness and Zhang Anyi's willingness to fight back revealed the intimacy between them.
Ruan Muyang didn't feel well in his heart, he just felt sore in his heart as if he was being grabbed, and wanted to grab something in his hands to fill the feeling of emptiness in his heart.She was always cautious when facing Zhang Anyi, except before the bed, she had never lost her temper with him, let alone spoke like this without any scruples.
After Shen Wei's voice fell, the room suddenly fell silent.
Even though she was caught off guard and staggered a bit, Zhang Anyi's face remained calm.He looked at her with no anger in his eyes, only a trace of helplessness.
Seeing that Shen Wei frowned and his breathing was a little short, his voice sounded: "Be careful with your hands."
He is like this, no matter what happens, no matter who he meets, he always looks tolerant, those eyes covered by a gentle smile are bottomless, and seem to be able to include everything in the world, gentle The humble appearance seems to have been soaked through the ages, and it will remain unchanged forever.
Shen Wei covered his arms and sneered, and said with a hint of weakness in his voice: "Zhang Er, I hate your hypocritical and harmless appearance the most. Everyone in the world is deceived by your gentleness. How would they know? I'm afraid Luo Jie and Xu Hou are not as sophisticated as you."
Shen Wei's words were not loud, Ruan Muyang heard the vagueness outside, but he could hear the general meaning.
She was surprised by Shen Wei's evaluation of Zhang Anyi.
Is he really what Shen Wei said?
In the past, Ruan Muyang only thought that he was too profound, and that his kindness to her was a bit unreasonable and unreal, but he never thought that she was not the only one thinking about these things.She suddenly felt that she had never understood him or seen through him, and she lived in the illusion he gave people just like the world in Shen Wei's mouth.
But she had already lost her heart in this illusion.
How sincere is he to her?
After reliving this life, even though she was bullied by Xie Zhao, looked down upon by others, and even when she planned to save the Ruan family by herself, she never felt so lonely and helpless like now, as if she had lost everything.
For Shen Wei's evaluation, Zhang Anyi did not refute, and still stood with his hands behind his back, standing upright like those green bamboos in Chuanyunyuan, as if acquiescing to that evaluation.
Feeling the wind coming in from outside, he glanced at the window and said, "You have an injury and it's not good to blow the wind. You don't have a single guard in your residence. I'll arrange two for you tomorrow."
Realizing that Zhang Anyi was about to walk towards the window, Ruan Muyang knew that he would be found here again, so he left in a hurry.
Ruan Muyang returned to his yard in a daze.
Fang Fang was startled when she saw it: "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Ruan Muyang suppressed the disappointment in his heart, his eyes regained brightness and asked, "Is there anything unusual about the time I've been away?"
Enamel shook his head.
"Okay, don't tell me when the second master comes back later." Ruan Muyang reminded.
Although Enamel didn't understand what happened, she still nodded.After all, she is from Ruan Muyang's place.
Zhang Anyi came back from Shen Weichu and was a little surprised to find that Ruan Muyang was still awake.
"Why isn't Madam still asleep?" He walked up to her, stroked her face tenderly, and said with pity in his tone, "The journey is hard, Madam has lost weight."
His gentle and pampered movements and tone made Ruan Muyang's heart soften, and he almost fell into it again.Putting her mind away, she smiled at him very gently and said: "I heard that Master Shen is ill, I am a little worried, and asked Fang Fang to prepare some parts we brought over, and let the second master bring them to her tomorrow."
"Madam has a heart." Zhang Anyi's fingers lingered on her delicate skin.
Ruan Muyang lowered his eyes, and asked tentatively: "Second Master, I have never heard of Master Shen's residence. I don't know where Master Shen's residence is? Second Master and her are classmates and colleagues, and there will be more families in the future. Contact." After she came back, she thought for a long time and didn't know what "rehabilitation" Shen Wei was talking about.The only thing she knows is that Zhang Anyi knows everything about Shen Wei and has a close relationship with her, otherwise he wouldn't say to do what she wants to do for her.
He took everything on himself in such an understatement, any woman would feel admiration and promise in her heart after hearing this.
Zhang Anyi glanced at her calmly, the gentleness in his eyes changed for a moment, and then returned to gentleness in an instant, and said with a sigh in his tone: "Shen Sikong... Her parents died in the early years, only the Shen family is left. Give her a single seedling."
Unexpectedly, Shen Wei was the only one left in the Shen family.Ruan Muyang heard the tragedy and blood from these words.
Those who need to be rehabilitated must be officials who have been wronged and persecuted.Ruan Muyang quickly thought of the officials whose family had been implicated in these years.
However, Emperor Wu was suspicious and bloodthirsty, and countless officials had been ransacked and executed in recent years.
"How could this be?" Ruan Muyang was surprised.
"Natural disasters, the world is impermanent."
It is true that things are impermanent.As an official in the court, no one can think about what will happen in the future, maybe one day they will be implicated.
Ruan Muyang knew that this was just rhetoric.Shen Wei's experience is almost guessed, and she can empathize with the same experience in her previous life.Only with such determination can she rush in front of all the ministers and guards in times of crisis, and rescue him as a woman.
For Shen Wei, Ruan Muyang's mood became complicated.
Because of the remnants of the previous dynasty, the guards became more stringent.
The assassin was not caught for a long time, and Emperor Wu was furious, and with the intention of competing with the remnants of the previous dynasty, he announced that he would go to Tai'an Prefecture according to the original plan, and dared to sacrifice to Mount Tai at the auspicious time calculated by Qintian Supervisor.
All the ministers blocked him, which made Emperor Wu furious.
"There are so many of you, are you actually no better than a few assassins? If so, what use is it for me to support you!"
The ministers did not dare to stop, and the sacrifice to Mount Tai proceeded as planned.King Yong'an, who was in charge of catching assassins, arranged guards around Emperor Wu, and never let up in the investigation of suspicious people around him.
After three days, the team finally arrived in Tai'an Prefecture. Perhaps because many guards were arranged, the journey was very peaceful.
After resting for a day, Emperor Wu first took his ministers to Qinguan Peak, the place where the sages live in a small world, and Guanri Peak.On the second day, it was ready to sacrifice to the God of Mount Tai.
Women were not allowed to sacrifice to Mount Tai, so they all stayed in the palace at the foot of the mountain.
Because Huaguang has always had the custom of offering sacrifices to Mount Tai, every king came to sacrifice to Mount Tai during his reign, so a palace was built at the foot of Mount Tai.
Ruan Muyang had nothing to do, so bored in the room, he took the enamel and walked around the bonsai garden in the palace.
This palace is well maintained, especially the bonsai garden, which is almost the most precious and rare in the world, and each one is like a small scene of Mount Tai.
While Ruan Muyang was visiting the bonsai garden, two people suddenly appeared from the corner.
Seeing that they were dressed as court ladies, she didn't care, but when they passed by, a dagger was placed on her neck.
"It's finally you." One of them sneered at Ruan Muyang.
"Who are you!" Ruan Muyang froze and didn't dare to move, listening to the movement around him, hoping someone would pass by.
The enamel was so excited that she wanted to rush over, but was knocked out by another person.
"Enamel! Enamel!" Ruan Muyang cried out worriedly.
The dagger was pressed against her neck. "Speak out again and I'll kill you right now!"
Ruan Muyang immediately fell silent.
"Take us to the place where Concubine Ruan lives!" the woman holding the dagger twisted her and said.
Ruan Muyang immediately understood their identities, and ignored the pain in his hands, he said in surprise, "You are from the former dynasty!" Unexpectedly, Emperor Wu went to sacrifice Taishan and took away most of the guards, but the assassin took the opportunity to enter the palace inside.Emperor Wu had no chance to kill, so they wanted to assassinate Concubine Ruan and the wives of the court ministers.
"Just know!" Another woman said, "With so much nonsense, let's tell about your affair with King Yong'an when you were in Jinan!"
Ruan Muyang's expression changed.
Unexpectedly, in Jinan before, the matter between her and Xie Zhao was seen by others.
In other words, the assassin came to inquire before, and then found her breakthrough, and has been waiting for the opportunity.
The woman holding the dagger took Ruan Muyang's silence as panic, smiled disdainfully and said, "You just need to bring us to Concubine Ruan, and when we die, no one will know that you brought us. If you don't want to , we will kill you, strip you naked and throw you at the gate of the city, and then tell you about the matter with King Yongan, so that you will not be able to die in peace, and your reputation will be ruined!" She said, holding a dagger on Ruan Muyang's neck Grind lightly.
"Okay, I promise you." The coldness of the dagger and the tingling pain from his neck made Ruan Muyang's feet go weak.But she forced herself to remain calm and think of a way.
If she was brought to Concubine Ruan in person, even if Concubine Ruan was killed, she would not be able to survive, and these two people would not survive.If people were brought in front of Concubine Ruan and they failed in the assassination, she would still not be able to survive after being investigated, and the Zhang family and the Ruan family would be implicated.
These two women know how to fight, and she has no possibility of escape.
It's almost a dead end.
But even in a dead end, she still has to find a way out!
How could she, Ruan Muyang, walk so carefully to the present, fall into the hands of the two remnants of the former dynasty!
"Don't make any crooked ideas! Hurry up and leave!" The dagger hit Ruan Muyang's back.
Ruan Muyang was pushed and staggered, and was forced to walk out of the bonsai garden.The two assassins followed her, if not for the daggers, they would really look like two maids.
Occasionally, one or two court ladies and eunuchs would pass by on the road. At this time, Ruan Muyang felt the dagger on his back tightened, as if it would penetrate her body as soon as she moved.
Ruan Muyang obediently did not make a sound.It's not that she gave up asking for help, but it's useless like two court ladies or eunuchs asking for help. When they went to ask someone to catch the assassin, the dagger behind her had already been inserted into her body.
The court ladies and eunuchs are not good. Concubine Ruan and the wives of some ministers are the targets of assassins, let alone bring assassins there, and the accompanying ministers all followed Emperor Wu to sacrifice to Mount Tai.
No, one person didn't go.
Shen Wei was injured.Because of her meritorious service in escorting, Emperor Wu granted her permission to recuperate in the palace.
She still remembered that Zhang Anyi said that he would send her two guards that night.
Only her.
Ruan Muyang didn't expect that one day his life would be in Shen Wei's hands, and his mood was very complicated.
I just hope that she can find the abnormality.
Feeling concerned, Ruan Muyang led them towards Shen Wei's residence.
Those two people seemed to realize something, and one of them said suspiciously: "Is this the way to Concubine Ruan's residence? Don't play tricks!"
Ruan Muyang said in a panic: "This is the road." She did take a detour, this road can not only pass by Shen Wei's residence, but also lead to Concubine Ruan's residence.Fortunately, they moved to the palace at the foot of Mount Tai. The guards were heavily guarded before, and the assassins had no chance to sneak in to find out. They might have figured out where they lived in Jinan Mansion.
Along the way, Ruan Muyang was thinking about how to get Shen Wei to notice her.
Originally, she planned to do her best to make a big noise when the time came, but as long as Shen Wei noticed, the two assassins were afraid of the guards around her and would not dare to kill themselves on the spot.
In the end, even God was helping her.
When she led the two assassins through Shen Wei's residence, Shen Wei was sunbathing outside and happened to see her.
"Sister-in-law."
Feeling the dagger on her back pressed tightly against her again, Ruan Muyang smiled as usual and said, "Is the injury on Master Shen's back better?"
Shen Wei looked at Ruan Muyang suspiciously.Everyone knew that she was injured on her arm, how could it be on her back?
"Thank you, Mrs. Sister-in-law, for your concern. It's all right."
Ruan Muyang showed a gentle smile on his face and said: "I have always cared about Mr. Shen's body, as long as there is no serious problem, it will save me from worrying about it. Now the assassin doesn't know where, sir, be careful. I still have to go to Concubine Ruan There, go first."
Following Ruan Muyang and leaving, one of the assassins seemed to be disgusted by her ambiguous gaze at Shen Wei just now, and scolded extremely disdainfully: "Slut!"
Ruan Muyang didn't care about these.
At this moment, her heart was beating fast.It has already behaved so abnormally, I hope Shen can't notice it.
Shen Wei recalled Ruan Muyang's words just now, frowned, and then looked thoughtfully at the back of her leaving with the two maids.As if seeing something, she was startled suddenly, and said to the two guards: "I'm afraid some assassins have sneaked in, how many people are left in the palace?"
On the other side, after seeing Shen Wei, Ruan Muyang subconsciously slowed down and waited.
The waiting time was always long and anxious. She was so nervous that her forehead began to sweat, and she was about to reach Concubine Ruan's residence after another turn.If Shen Wei didn't show up yet, she might have to fight to the death at that time, because the escort died at the hands of the assassin, at least it wouldn't hurt the Zhang family and the Ruan family.
At least there were so many guards and ministers present when Shen Wei rescued Emperor Wu, but she really wanted to fight with flesh and blood.
Suddenly, the two assassins sensed a change and stopped.
Ruan Muyang, who was forced to stop, heaved a sigh of relief.It seems to be saved.
At this moment, she could no longer care about her back that was hurt by the dagger.
Afterwards, a dozen guards appeared from all sides and surrounded them.
The two assassins were caught off guard and looked around vigilantly.
Shen Wei appeared from among the guards, standing with his hands behind his back, his back straight.Although she is a woman, her long-term male attire makes her behave in a non-feminine manner, and she looks like a minister in charge of the guards, full of momentum.She said in a cold voice: "Protect Mrs. Zhang and take down the assassin! Keep alive!"
No matter how powerful the two female assassins were in martial arts, they still couldn't escape the siege of a dozen guards.
After realizing that she had been tricked, one of them looked at Ruan Muyang resentfully: "It's you who tricked me!" As he said that, he wanted to stab her in the back with a dagger.
Fortunately, when the dagger pierced her clothes and she felt a clear pain in her back, the female assassin was restrained.
The sound of fighting caught Concubine Ruan's attention in the yard not far away.Concubine Ruan and the women saw such a tense scene when they came out.
Ruan Muyang, who was finally out of danger, was pushed aside.Losing the confinement, her feet became weak and she almost fell.Fortunately, Shen Wei helped her in time.
"Thank you, Lord Shen!"
Shen Wei looked at the woman in front of her who looked embarrassed, her face was pale, but she was trying to maintain her composure and did not lose her demeanor, her eyes were a little complicated and she said: "If it weren't for Mrs. Sister-in-law who is unruffled and witty in times of crisis, today's consequences would be unimaginable."
He always cared about Shen Wei in his heart, and had to admire her carefulness, and had to thank her for saving him. The complicated emotions made Ruan Muyang feel a little bit competitive, unwilling to show weakness, and unwilling to show weakness. Look, even though she was so frightened that she wanted to cry.
"Master Shen, the two assassins have been captured!" The guards tied up the two female assassins.
Shen Wei narrowed his eyes and said: "Take care of them for now to prevent them from committing suicide, and we will make a decision when the emperor returns."
Afterwards, he walked towards Concubine Ruan and several women who were still in shock, bowed and said, "You have surprised the empress and all the wives, the assassin has been arrested. For safety's sake, you should be more careful."
"Thanks to Master Shen." Concubine Ruan said, "When the Holy Majesty returns, I will definitely report to the Holy Majesty and reward him for meritorious service."
Shen Wei became more modest: "Mistress Xie, these are what I should do."
Ruan Muyang saw everyone's reactions in his eyes, and the complexity in his heart was beyond words.How could they have imagined that Master Shen, who was in charge of the overall situation and led his bodyguards to arrest the assassins in the face of danger, was actually a woman!
When he returned to his residence, seeing that Fang Fang hadn't come back, Ruan Muyang immediately sent someone to look for it in the bonsai garden.Sure enough, she was still there.
After waking up, Fang Fang saw Ruan Muyang and immediately cried out: "Ma'am, are you okay? Are you injured?" Although Fang Fang is not as good as Dian Cuihui, she is very loyal to her.
Mentioning the injury, Ruan Muyang felt that the place on his back that was touched by the dagger was still hurting, so he took off his clothes and let Fang Fang take a look.
"Ma'am, there is really a gash, and it's bleeding."
After taking the medicine, Ruan Muyang changed his clothes and waited for Emperor Wu to summon him when he came back.
With such a big event happening, and she has been in contact with the assassin for so long, she will definitely be summoned.
In the evening, Emperor Wu heard about the assassin when he returned from offering sacrifices to Mount Tai.
At Shenshi, Emperor Wu sent someone to summon Ruan Muyang.
When Ruan Muyang arrived, Shen Wei, Zhang Anyi, Xie Zhao and others were all there.The two captured assassins were being tied up and kneeling in the middle.
"The courtier's wife sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
"Girl of the Ruan family, I saw you in Yuxiu Palace the year before last, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ruan Muyang stood up.
All the ministers were present, but she was the only woman, and all eyes were on her.And she immediately felt the familiar and gentle gaze from Zhang Anyi.She raised her head slightly to look at him, just in time to look into his deep eyes.
Xie Zhao, who was on the side, saw the eye contact between the couple, and slightly curled his lips in the direction of Ruan Muyang.
"I heard from Shen Qing that this time, thanks to your unruffled presence, you dealt with the two assassins and tried your best to remind him." Emperor Wu's tone was full of appreciation.
Ruan Muyang immediately said: "It's thanks to Mr. Shen's carefulness, otherwise I would definitely not be able to compete with the assassin with the strength of my wife alone."
Seeing that she not only remained calm in the face of danger, but also did not ask for credit, with a calm and dignified demeanor showing respect to him without flinching, Emperor Wu was even more satisfied.He looked at Zhang Anyi and said, "I've heard about the origin of your marriage, and I think it's all fate. Your grandfather should be happy to have such a grandson-in-law."
Zhang Anyi immediately said: "The emperor is right. To be able to marry Mu Yang as a wife is indeed a blessing for me."
Ruan Muyang was blushed by his confession in front of the Holy Master, but he was calm.It's not just that he didn't care about what he said, but also because his heart is so strong that he is invulnerable.
Seeing Zhang Anyi and Ruan Muyang's affectionate appearance, Emperor Wu said with some emotion: "Back then, I and Empress Xiaojing were like you."
When Emperor Wu mentioned Empress Xiaojing, no one dared to speak.
"Okay, both Shen Qing and Zhang Qing's wives have made contributions this time, and I will definitely reward them heavily!"
After Emperor Wu's words fell, the assassin kneeling on the ground suddenly sneered.
The sneer was so abrupt that everyone frowned.Ruan Muyang suddenly thought of something, and his heart arose.
The assassin had obviously put life and death aside, looked angrily at Ruan Muyang who made them fall short, and said mockingly: "Emperor Dog, you probably don't know? Your son is having an affair with the wife of the courtier, and the court is full of smoke. You're still smiling so happily!"
Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes with killing intent: "What did you say?"
"I've seen it with my own eyes, can it be true?" The female assassin kept looking at Ruan Muyang when she spoke, obviously the "subject's wife" she was referring to was her.
And the only prince who followed Emperor Wu on this tour was Xie Zhao, King of Yongan.
The ministers present were all exquisite-hearted, so they thought of it all at once.The female assassin's words didn't seem to be false, and their eyes began to go back and forth between Ruan Muyang and Xie Zhao.
They all thought of the marriage contract between Xie Zhaozeng and Ruan Muyang at the same time.Later, because Ruan Muyang fell into the water and was rescued by Zhang Anyi, the marriage was abandoned, and there was an uproar in the capital at that time.
Emperor Wu also said that Zhang Anyi and Ruan Muyang were like himself and Empress Xiaojing when they were young, but they were slapped in the face the next moment. "Is what she said true?" His tone was dangerous.
Xie Zhao immediately knelt down and said, "Father! My son is wronged!"
"My wife was wronged!" Although Ruan Muyang didn't want to be in the same camp as Xie Zhao, he had to prove his innocence with him at this moment.
She didn't know what Zhang Anyi's expression was at this time, but she felt that his gaze on her made her breathless.
He is angry now.
Emperor Wu looked at them calmly: "Oh? Wronged? Why are you wronged?"
"My son doesn't know what the intentions of these two assassins are. Although my son and Mrs. Zhang are cousins, they haven't seen each other a few times. How could there be an affair?"
Xie Zhao didn't know that the assassin had seen their entanglement in Jinan, so he naturally had no way to deal with it.
But Ruan Muyang knew it.
After Xie Zhao proved his innocence, Ruan Muyang's calm and crisp voice sounded.
"You said I had an affair with King Yong'an?"
"Yes! You are misbehaving!"
Under the testimony of the assassin, Ruan Muyang straightened his back and was watched by everyone calmly, without a trace of panic in his voice: "I can have an affair with King Yong'an just by being cousins. Is it even more unclear between Mr. Shen and Master Shen who saved me?"
The assassin hated Ruan Muyang very much, and he did see her ambiguous gaze towards Shen Weishi before, so he said without thinking, "That's right! "
Ruan Muyang curled his lips in a funny way, and stopped talking to the assassin, but looked at Emperor Wu and said, "Your Majesty, the assassin is obviously taking revenge on the minister's wife. According to her words, the minister's wife has an affair with everyone!"
Her voice has a woman's unique softness, but it is powerful.
Xie Zhao couldn't help but glanced at her, feeling that Ruan Muyang was a bit unfamiliar with this matter.Compared with her words, his self-professed words seemed a little pale.
He actually needed her help.Although he knew that if she hadn't been involved in it, she would never have asked to help her.
At this time, Shen Wei knelt down immediately, and said firmly: "Your Majesty, the relationship between the minister and Mrs. Zhang is innocent! Please also ask the emperor to learn! The assassin has bad intentions and intends to slander the minister, Prince Yu, and ask the emperor to issue an order to punish the assassin , catch his accomplices!"
"Shen Qing is hurt, get up quickly."
Originally, Emperor Wu believed sixty percent of what the assassin said, because why did the assassin only talk about Ruan Muyang and Xie Zhao and not others?
The other people present also thought the same as Emperor Wu.
But now the assassin said that Ruan Muyang had an affair with Shen Wei like a mad dog biting someone, so the previous credibility was not great.
Only then did the assassin know Ruan Muyang's intentions, and looked at her angrily, but it was too late.
Just when Emperor Wu was silent, as if he was distinguishing the truth from the assassin's words, Zhang Anyi suddenly walked up to the front and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I believe in Mu Yang's character, and I will never do such a thing." The voice was not loud, just as gentle as he used to be.
"Please, Your Majesty, be careful!"
"Please, Your Majesty, be careful!"
"Father, please enlighten me!"
Emperor Wu looked at Zhang Anyi, Ruan Muyang, Shen Wei, and Xie Zhao who were kneeling on the ground, and finally said: "The assassin has ulterior motives. I ordered King Yong'an to investigate this matter thoroughly. Zhang Anyi assisted and captured the accomplice. Shen Qing rescued him twice. For meritorious service, he was promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of Officials. Zhang Anyi's wife, Ruan Shi, was calm and calm in times of danger, and was awarded the imperial order of the sixth rank."
