Chapter 478
Intuitively, Jiang Jinyue always felt that Xiao Shoujun was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

It's not the kind of hostility that is not good for anyone.

Regardless of whether it is the Prince's Mansion or the Hou's Mansion, the relationship with the Xiao family is not stalemate. The chief assistant, Mr. Xiao, is gentle and smooth. In addition, there is an old Madam She with an excellent reputation and the most upright character. , so Master Xiao almost doesn't have to stand in any team.

With such a talent and background, no matter how dynasties change and the emperors are turbulent, he can be as stable as a mountain.

Master Xiao or Mrs. She, there is no need for Xiao Shoujun to come and approach her.

For Jiang Jinyue, Xiao Shoujun's sudden gesture of friendship may be because she doesn't remember anything about the original owner and Xiao Shoujun when she was a child, so Xiao Shoujun's sudden intimacy made her a little confused and at a loss as to what to do.

After returning to the palace, Jiang Jinyue did not delay, found a doctor for Xiao Shoujun, and immediately sent someone to send a letter to Xiao's residence, saying that Shoujun had a good time in the palace and would stay at the palace at night.

Li Zongyu is not in the palace, so there is no need to avoid suspicion or anything.

Mrs. She should also understand the meaning of this sentence, and the boy replied only to let Xiao Shoujun have fun, to trouble Jiang Jinyue and so on, and brought a lot of thank you gifts by the way.

Xiao Shoujun was injured, and it was really difficult just now, so Jiang Jinyue arranged her in the wing room, and when he got a reply from Xiao's family and went to the wing room, the doctor had already taken care of it.

The doctor is used to by the palace, and he has a very strict mouth. He prescribed a few medicines and then left.

In Jiang Jinyue's conception, she and Xiao Shoujun are not yet familiar. After sitting in the wing room for a while, the two talked a few words, most of which happened when they were young. In order to calm the nerves, Xiao Shoujun couldn't hold on, and soon fell asleep.

Just as Jiang Jinyue left the door, a dark guard landed quietly beside her on tiptoe.

"Your Majesty." The dark guard's voice was extremely low, holding a snow-white carrier pigeon in his hand.

Jiang Jinyue led the hidden guards into the courtyard: "Is there any news from the prince?"

"Yes."

The dark guard nodded, and handed the carrier pigeon to Jiang Jinyue.

As soon as Jiang Jinyue took the pigeon, she immediately sensed something was wrong and frowned.

The dark guard lowered his head, and quickly said: "The carrier pigeon comes from the north, and it takes at least two days from the front line to the capital. My subordinates have just inspected it. This pigeon seems to have been fed by someone, and there is a lot of grain in its stomach."

Jiang Jinyue pursed her lips, carried the pigeon all the way to the main room in the front yard, and looked at the pigeon carefully by the candlelight.

The two-day itinerary is not short for a pigeon. This pigeon was carefully raised by Li Zongyu and has a strong sense of mission. He would only eat a quick bite on the way.

This pigeon's stomach was full of grains, and it was heavy to the touch. Regardless of whether it had been fed or not, it had been hovering around the capital for at least half a day.

By the light of the candle, Jiang Jinyue took out the creed from the pigeon.

Suddenly, her heart sank.

The creed has been opened!
Others don't know that Li Zongyu's customary stationery is specially made. It is embossed with candle tears. The embossing is usually invisible. It can only vaguely emerge when facing a certain light. As long as it is opened by someone, the embossed joint will be There will be traces. Although this creed was deliberately sealed with oil and wax to cover up the traces, but the embossed mouth is not aligned, and it is wrong at first glance.

With a sullen face, Jiang Jinyue opened the creed.

The creed was densely written with several lines, Jiang Jinyue was stunned for a while, only the last sentence remained in his mind.

"On December [-]st, the imperial army fought against the desert army at the gate of the city, and was defeated. The imperial army barely managed to keep the gate, and the people in the city are now being evacuated!"

Li Zongyu, lost?

Jiang Jinyue was in a daze, holding the letter paper, her heart was overwhelmed, and she didn't know how to react for a while.

This pigeon was raised by Li Zongyu himself. Since Jiang Jinyue and Li Zongyu met, they have been using pigeons to send messages. The handwriting on the creed is definitely Li Zongyu's. These words cannot be faked.

Last time when Li Zongyu sent a message, he would tell Jiang Jinyue whether the information was true or not. This time?

"."

Jiang Jinyue's heart was beating violently, she stabilized her voice, turned her head to the hidden guard outside the door and said, "Go and find out who intercepted the pigeon halfway."

Jiang Jinyue couldn't tell whether the information in this creed was true or not, and she didn't know who had read the news first. In short, no matter who knew it first, it was not a good thing.

The hidden guard cupped his hands and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Holding the letter paper, Jiang Jinyue stood up, took two steps around the table, and called Lu Yi in, "Go and find Baihu, Brother Hu, and Uncle Qing."

This creed was definitely written by Li Zongyu. Regardless of whether it is true or not, the palace must make preparations early. If it is true, Li Zongyu suffered a defeat this time, and there is a meaning between the lines that he cannot resist Li Yuan. This turmoil is not limited to It's the front line, I'm afraid that the old emperor will also follow up with a lot of actions.

Uncle Qing and his entourage came very quickly, and they happened to be on duty at night. Jiang Jinyue didn't have to wait long, and the three of them were already standing in the main room.

"Don't be too polite, sit down first." Jiang Jinyue served tea to Lu Yi, and then handed the creed to Uncle Qing.

"My lord sent back the news that the front line has been defeated. I'm afraid life in the mansion will be difficult for a while." Uncle Qing frowned, and handed the note to Brother Hu who was sitting next to him.

Brother Hu couldn't understand at all, so he waved his hand and gave it directly to Baihu.

"What's the shopkeeper's order? I, Tiger, will do everything." Brother Hu cupped his hands at Jiang Jinyue, and was the first to express his attitude.

The group of them have followed Jiang Jinyue for more than half a year. Jiang Jinyue has never doubted when he uses people, and he can say whatever he wants, without pretensions, and has enough majesty. As I said at the beginning, some people wandered for half their lives, and suddenly found a place to stay, felt the warmth of home, and then consciously began to attach themselves.

Jiang Jinyue was still a little nervous at first, but was amused by Brother Hu's serious words.

"Although the lord has suffered a defeat, he hasn't reached the point of destroying his family. The emperor won't do anything to our palace for the time being." She was halfway through her words when she suddenly remembered the words Mr. Mei said on the way back. .

The white fox carefully observed the letter paper by the light, and then Jiang Jinyue said: "My lady is worried that people who have read this creed first will seize the opportunity, which will be detrimental to the palace and the prince?"

"Yeah." Jiang Jinyue nodded, Baihu was the most delicate minded, and soon understood that the creed had been tampered with.

This is what she is most worried about. If there is any discrepancy between the military newspaper sent back by Li Zongyu and the content of this letter, and those who have read the creed show up to testify, it will definitely be a bloodbath.

The white fox frowned and looked at the creed a few times, his eyes were sharp, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about whether the news on this creed is true or not?"
