Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 35 Don't be afraid

Jiang Jinyan was relieved when he heard that Xu Junyan had come, because his words made him feel agitated all the time. He thought he was very busy when he just took over Zhennanwei, but he didn't expect to come so soon.

Jiang Jinyan hurriedly asked, "Where is General Xu now?"

Jiang Weidao: "General Xu didn't let anyone else be alarmed, now Hou is in the pear orchard by Langyue Lake."

Jiang Jinyan nodded secretly, there won't be anyone in Liyuan Qiuqiu, after all, she wants to put her reputation first, and her prejudice against foreigners is enough to make her drink a pot, let alone when it's a time of restraint.

Jiang Jinyan explained to Xue Yan and followed Jiang Wei to the Liyuan.

Jiang Wei stood at the gate of the Liyuan, Jiang Jinyan made up his mind and walked into the Liyuan.

When the Jing'an Hou Mansion was built, a hundred acres of pear trees were planted in this courtyard. In spring, the grand sight of thousands of pear trees blooming is amazing. At that time, family banquets will also be held in the pear garden.

Now in late autumn, it looks bare. In the middle of the pear trees is a slowly flowing water drawn from Langyue Lake, and there are also rockeries.

Xu Junyan was dressed in an inconspicuous black brocade robe, standing under a pear tree next to the rockery, his simple attire could hardly conceal his dusty temperament,

Jiang Jinyan thought to herself, if it were spring, this scene would be very beautiful. She took her steps lightly, and couldn't bear to disturb this moment of peace.

She always felt that Xu Junyan had nothing to do with blood and murder when he didn't hold a sword, but he was still a general after all, not to mention that he would make even greater military exploits in the future.

Xu Junyan's ears were excellent, and he calculated the distance behind Jiang Jinyan, and said with his hands behind his back, "Miss Jiang didn't move forward, but was she afraid of me?"

Jiang Jinyan frowned, why did he love to tease himself so much.

"General Xu has always been an upright man, what have I to be afraid of?"

Xu Junyan turned around, but there was a vague smile, "Oh? Miss Jiang is not afraid of me?" Last time in the library, her calm appearance seemed to be still in front of her eyes, Xu Junyan didn't want to scared her.

Jiang Jinyan took a step forward and looked at Xu Junyan at this moment.

I never knew how his military exploits came from, but I just felt that a person with such a temperament should not be placed with the purgatory battlefield on earth.

"General Xu joined the army as a son of a family, defending his family and country, Jin Yan admires him in his heart."

Although there was a bit of girlish childishness in the words, but they were extremely sincere, without any other emotions mixed in.

Xu Junyan stared at her flawless expression, but felt a little strange in his heart. She was so reckless before, but now she has acted calmly and can speak without leaking. Is it because she had to grow up after losing her mother?

Seeing his silence, Jiang Jinyan hurriedly asked, "General Xu is here to tell me the inside story of Pinxiangxuan?"

Xu Junyan withdrew his thoughts and nodded.

Jiang Jinyan said again: "General Xu, can you tell me first, how do you know about Pin Xiangxuan?" It's not that she doesn't believe in Xu Junyan's character, she is very familiar with his character, but she can't think about it herself clear.

Xu Junyan glanced at the jade hairpin in her hair, it was so clean that it overwhelmed the brilliance of her face.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "Do you know where this spice has gone?"

Jiang Jinyan shook his head, "I couldn't find any account books related to Anshenxiang. If I didn't find something wrong in the Anshenxiang I used, I would not know it by now."

She also used this incense? !Xu Junyan's eyes darkened.

"Then... have you been hurt?" If that's the case, this matter must be investigated to the end!
Jiang Jinyan smiled slightly, "I was found to be a little bit cold when I was feeling the pulse, so I found out the problem with the incense, but it has been recuperated, and I have to thank General Xu for his concern."

Xu Junyan breathed a sigh of relief, but he still frowned and said nothing, the coldness in his eyes remained undiminished, was he negligent?You shouldn't be so careful and worry too much. If you found out earlier, this girl wouldn't be hurt by this incense...

Jiang Jinyan asked again: "What's the matter with this incense?"

Xu Junyan thought for a while, since he was there anyway, he could protect her, "The Holy Majesty called me into the palace a few days ago to find out the source of this incense, but now the clue...is stuck in Pinxiangxuan."

Jiang Jinyan felt unsteady for a while, Your Majesty? !Has this incense already entered the palace? !Can her Jing'anhou Mansion be able to protect itself?Family copying and extermination?

Her face turned pale, but she quickly persuaded herself to calm down. If there was no way to save her, Xu Junyan would not just gossip with her here now.

"Did this incense enter the palace? Did something happen?"

There was no emotion in Xu Junyan's tone, but it matched the autumn scenery, cold and solemn.

"It was discovered by the Holy Majesty before it was used in the palace, and the rumors were not leaked. Pinxiangxuan is certainly related, but it is not too involved. It can only be used by others. Even you can find someone to check this incense. Buy it in the palace. It's not easy for the aroma diffuser to put this batch of incense in."

Jiang Jinyan thought for a moment, and asked: "Could it be that someone colluded with the palace and brought in this batch of incense? But if you want to harm someone, you shouldn't choose one that is so easy to be discovered, let alone everyone in the palace. Lord of life..."

Is it intentional to let people find out? !

Jiang Jinyan looked up at Xu Junyan, he was still calm and calm.

"Miss Jiang is right, but after checking layer by layer, there are so many clues that it is almost impossible to find out the relationship behind the incident."

In such a situation where it is impossible to find out anything, the most likely result is to sacrifice someone who can afford to offend, and make this matter go away. Jiang Jinyan shook his head mockingly. Anyone could do this, but Xu Junyan did it. Can't come out, he was that kind of person in his previous life.

"What is General Xu planning?"

Xu Junyan smiled, "Aren't Miss Jiang afraid?"

Even now, the girl is still standing upright, apart from her pale face, it can't be seen that she is facing the crime of ransacking her family and exterminating her family.

Jiang Jinyan squeezed her palm tightly with her sleeves, how could she not be afraid, if she lost her life not long after she was reborn, then what about the bloody feud she bears.

She calmed down and said with a slight smile: "Of course I'm afraid, but I just want to know how to avoid the disaster."

Xu Junyan lowered his eyes, "This matter may end without a problem, and the clues have been cleaned up."

Jiang Jinyan's heart tightened, and if she couldn't find out, what would happen to her Jing'an Hou Mansion?Take the blame?
Seeing her frowning, Xu Junyan finally laughed out, feeling scared.

"It's okay, I will explain to the Holy Master, and take out your Marquis Mansion."

This sentence seems light and simple, but Jiang Jinyan is not ignorant of the world, she knows how difficult it is to do this sentence, although the Holy Majesty is young, he is not willing to be manipulated.

Can he let go of this matter so easily?He was able to let Xu Junyan investigate thoroughly at the risk of being suspected by Wang Taishi, presumably he wanted to find out some unacceptable forces?

If it ends without a problem, she will only scare the snake away. At this time, if she is Emperor Yongning, she will also choose to sacrifice Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Seeing that she was still frowning, Xu Junyan smiled even more intensely, "Are you scared, girl?"

Jiang Jinyan was pulled back from his thoughts by the girl's voice.

"I'm not afraid." Jiang Jinyan bit his lip, this was no longer a calm expression, but a childish hard mouth.

Xu Junyan suddenly turned his head to the side, with a serious look on his face, he hugged Jiang Jinyan, and dodged to hide in the cave on the rockery.

In an instant, his body lightened and his eyes darkened. Jiang Jinyan wanted to open his mouth subconsciously, but he had already fallen into a somewhat warm embrace.

Just as she was about to struggle, Xu Junyan whispered in her ear: "Don't move, there are people in the garden, and Miss Jiang doesn't want to be judged as having a private affair with a foreigner, and behaving badly, right?"

His clear voice calmed himself down, the man's warm breath sprinkled on his neck, and Jiang Jinyan, who was dressed thinly, felt that the coolness of autumn was missing.

It seems that I really don't wear much today.

Jiang Jinyan is not a martial artist, so he couldn't hear footsteps that were too far away. After holding his breath for a long time, he could only hear the sound of his heartbeat speeding up, which became more and more clear...

Suddenly a sound came from outside the rockery.

"Miss! There is no one at all! This little bastard Hong Hui really knows how to talk nonsense. Miss, you still gave her a bracelet, which is really a big loss. I will go and talk about her in a while!"

Hong Hui?Honghui from Baicaoyuan?She heard me talking to Jiang Wei?

Jiang Jinyan blushed a little. Xu Junyan, an outsider, saw that the eldest daughter of the dignified Marquis Mansion was still being plotted against in the backyard. This...

"Could it be that we didn't pay close attention? Or it was too late... It's really disgusting! If we can catch her having a scandal with her cousin, I don't believe she can go on rampant!"

Jiang Jinqian, it really is you!

Jiang Jinyan paused.

Feeling her nervousness, Xu Junyan whispered, "Don't be afraid, they won't come over."

Jiang Jinyan froze. With his gentle appearance, is he coaxing the child?
Moreover, why am I afraid?

Seeing that she was about to raise her head, Xu Junyan was afraid that she would hit her, so he quickly covered her forehead with his hands. Jiang Jinyan didn't expect him to do this for a moment, but bumped into his chin abruptly. On the uneven stone wall behind him.

"Miss, there seems to be movement in the rockery..."

Jiang Jinqian listened carefully, but there was no sound, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's broad daylight, so there is no movement! Probably a rat..."

Jiang Jinqian looked around, saw a large area of ​​bare pear trees with overgrown branches, and saw that the sun was overcast again, frowning and shaking his sleeves, he walked away.

When passing by Jiang Wei's side, Jiang Jinqian glared fiercely, "I don't know what Jiang Guanshi, a busy man, wants to do at this moment, guarding this dilapidated garden for no reason!"

When she first saw Jiang Wei guarding the garden, she thought Honghui was right, but who knows where there is a figure inside, and she still looks like a dead branch and a leaf!

Jiang Wei cupped his hands neither humble nor overbearing: "I've already told Second Miss that I'm here to watch and wait for the man who repairs the garden to come, but Second Miss insists on going in to have a look, Jiang is not afraid of the slanting shadow!"

Originally, he was worried that the eldest lady would be discovered, but who knew that the second lady came out alone with a displeased face. It seemed that the two of them had not been found, so he had enough confidence to speak naturally.

"What tone are you talking about! I am the majestic master of the Jing'an Hou Mansion! Don't you call yourself a slave?!"

Jiang Wei straightened his back, "Jiang was sent by General Fang, and he didn't sign a contract of sale. To call himself a slave is to disregard General Fang's face. I don't need my face, but the general's face is afraid..."

Jiang Jinqian almost lost his temper, Shi Qing tugged at her sleeves, and said in a low voice: "My aunt said, don't make trouble with Missy's people for the time being, you must be patient."

Jiang Jinqian snorted coldly, and went straight back to Yicui Pavilion, her graceful steps were a little messy, she must have been angry.

Jiang Wei also darkened, a concubine dared to monitor the eldest lady's whereabouts?Killing people is nothing but nodding, if he had followed his original temperament, he would have dealt with Yicui Pavilion long ago!
Xu Junyan heard the slight sound of footsteps and left the garden before protecting the person in his arms and leaving the rockery.

Jiang Jinyan's expression was still a little bad, Xu Junyan glanced at her sullen look, and said, "This time it's my fault."

Jiang Jinyan didn't raise his head, but just as he was about to raise his head, he thought of the embarrassment of bumping into him just now, "What's wrong with General Xu, it's me who made General Xu laugh."

Xu Junyan shook his head slightly, "Be careful." Then he was about to leave.

Suddenly Jiang Jinyan had a flash of inspiration, and blurted out: "The fact that Dali Temple can manage Pinxiangxuan...is it your handwriting?"
