Chapter 124 Jiang Caiping, Jiang Ping'er

Chapter 133 Jiang Caiping, Jiang Pinger
Ruyan is holding a bunch of women's dresses, because she is just a maid and doesn't have too gorgeous dresses.However, as a favored personal maid in a rich family, Ruyan's clothes are not bad in quality, at least better than the ladies in small families.

Zhang Xuan walked first and remained silent.

Ruyan obediently followed behind, not daring to say anything.

Zhang Xuan is going to see Concubine Mei in the secret room, the reason why he brings Ruyan instead of Ruyu is because Ruyan is as calm and scheming as Yu, and knows how to control his words and deeds.If it was Ruyu, she was too naive and innocent, so she might accidentally leak the news.

But Ruyan is different, she is careful, she will definitely rot some words to the stomach and will not say anything nonsense.

This is not to say that Ruyu is unreliable, but because of her personality, girls who are too simple are always not suitable for participating in some confidential matters.

Zhang Xuan took Ruyan and turned left and right under the heavy night, but he actually made a big circle and turned back.Because the flower hall where the secret room is located is in the backyard, not far from Zhang Xuan's study.

But Zhang Xuan didn't take Ruyan over directly, but intentionally circled around.It's not pretending to be mysterious, but Zhang Xuan needs to sort out his somewhat messy mind.

Concubine Mei staying in the mansion must be a potential hidden danger.It may be safe, but it may erupt at any time, causing an impact on Zhang Xuan and the Zhang family.

Zhang Xuan is definitely not the kind of person who can't make a quick decision because of the benevolence of a woman.But as a traverser who has accepted modern civilization, even if his heart is as hard as a stone, it is difficult for him to attack a pregnant woman.

In this case, Concubine Mei can only be confined.

The reason why he didn't take a certain risk to fight against the emperor to the end and fight for a lifeline for the servants of Prince Rong's mansion was because he knew that the emperor was determined to kill people for the matter of Concubine Mei.The servants of Prince Rong's mansion don't know much about the matter between King Rong and Concubine Mei, but after all, some people still know some inside information.If these people are allowed to survive, there will be some rumors in the future.How could the emperor not have thought of this?
For the sake of his authority as an emperor and his face as a man, Li Longji will not make any concessions.If Zhang Xuan insisted on forcibly singing against the emperor, one can imagine the great risk.

The current power cannot be maintained, and there may even be a disaster that cannot be restored.After weighing the pros and cons, he chose to remain silent.

This world is far more cruel and prey to the weak than he imagined. This natural rule is full of blood and blood, and it is beyond his ability to fight against it alone.

The flower hall has been locked and closed, and only Zhang Xuan holds the key.

Zhang Xuan went up to open the lock silently, but did not enter, but stood in the shadow in front of the hall door and pondered for a long time.Ruyan didn't dare to disturb him, and stood obediently by the side.

Zhang Xuan had a flash of thought, walked in slowly, turned his head and smiled at Ruyan, "Ruyan, come in with me, and lock the door."

Regarding Concubine Mei's matter, since Zhang Xuan has made up his mind, there will be no further wavering.

In fact, in his subconscious mind, Concubine Mei didn't need to keep her secret for life, but only needed to keep it during the last few years of the emperor's life.After these few years, as long as the old emperor dies, there will not be many people who really pose a threat to Zhang Xuan.

Ruyan became more and more shocked as she walked, she followed Zhang Xuan down the secret passage, and entered the secret room, her pretty face became extremely reddened, and her thin shoulders trembled slightly.

Zhang Xuan stared at the iron boxes, he didn't open them, but Ruyan has a delicate heart, how could he not guess that all the boxes were filled with money and silk.

Zhang Xuan didn't know how much wealth was in the secret room in front of him, and he didn't want to find out for the time being.It's just that he knows that the current annual income of the central government of the Tang Dynasty is only 5000 to [-] million yuan. If the property in the secret room is converted, it may be regarded as an astonishing figure.

Zhang Xuan let out a long breath, then stepped forward and pushed open the door of the small secret room.

Under the dim candlelight, Concubine Mei sat on the bed with a pale face, staring dully at Zhang Xuan and Ruyan who walked in.

In the underground secret room of this mansion, there is actually a beautiful woman hidden.This...my lord, this is... Ruyan secretly glanced at Zhang Xuan, the shock in her heart can be imagined.

Zhang Xuan stared silently at Concubine Mei, and Concubine Mei also looked at Zhang Xuan numbly, the two faced each other silently, but they didn't collide with the spark of guessing in the little girl Ruyan's heart.

Ruyan obediently put down the dress in her hand, and quietly retreated out of the outer secret room, and when she came out, she even closed the door for the two of them.Because she knew that her son had something secret to say to this woman.

Although the son-in-law was not going to hide it from her, she still felt that it was better not to know about some things.Whether it's for yourself or for the master, it's a good thing.

Although thousands of questions echoed in her heart, the girl's curiosity prompted her to keep guessing the identity of the woman in the secret room.After all, she was still a young girl, and she would never have dreamed that this woman was actually an imperial concubine, and not a woman her master secretly raised.

a long time.

Concubine Mei sighed, her voice hoarse and hopeless, "Is it time to go to the servant's house?"

"Actually, you know in your heart that I won't kill you. If you wanted to kill you, you would have done it long ago, and you don't have to wait until today." Zhang Xuan smiled lightly and sat down on the bed.

"And you actually don't want to die... not just because of the child in your womb, am I right?"

Concubine Mei's shriveled lips trembled.

"Jiang Caiping..." Zhang Xuan said softly.

Concubine Mei was startled suddenly, and looked up at Zhang Xuan, with a gleam of light in her lifeless and numb eyes.

"Or Jiang Ping'er, the woman in the palace has died in the rebellion, there is no doubt about it."

"Your heart is full of hatred... You hate the old guy in the palace for being ruthless to you, but actually you don't have much affection for this little guy outside the palace. Walking with him, I'm afraid it's just to get revenge on the old guy."

"When you heard the news of Li Wan's death that day, your mood was very calm. This shows that you have been mentally prepared." Zhang Xuan clapped his hands and stood up, "Actually, I am not worthy of Li Wan. If Li Wan is not For you, if you are willing to endure for a while longer, the situation may have another result. Li Wan has affection and righteousness for you, but you have no affection for him, isn't this a great irony?"

Concubine Mei's pale face suddenly turned red, and she said with trembling lips, "Their father and son are not good people—the old one abandoned the slave's house, and the young one took the opportunity to occupy the slave's body... Do you think Li Wan is really worried about it?" Is the safety of the slave family in danger? The slave family has his flesh and blood, will the emperor let him go?"

"After entering this Prince Rong's mansion, the slave family will be imprisoned here... presumably, when he succeeds in rebelling against him and actually sits on the throne of emperor, or after the slave family gives birth to this child, he will kill the slave family to silence him, right?"

"In the whole world, anyone who knows that he has such wealth, except himself, is a slave. Because these were originally secret collections from the former Sui Dynasty, and the treasure map just happened to fall into the hands of the slave father."

"The slave family saw his ambition, so they gave him a fortune, to see how he kills his father and king..."

Concubine Mei laughed wildly and hoarsely, "I hate that after he succeeded, he killed his father and brother all over the house. And even though this slave has been thrown into the cold palace, he is still a concubine, but the old things in the palace don't care about it." Ask! I hate you so much, I wish I could eat the flesh and blood of this father and son..."

"It's reasonable for you to kill the slaves to silence them." Concubine Mei smiled sadly, "Can you tell the slaves who you are?"

When Concubine Mei asked this question, Zhang Xuan was startled, and then smiled.

The affair between Li Wan and Concubine Mei was exposed, and there was a factor behind his secret promotion.But it has to be said that Concubine Mei, who has been imprisoned in the cold palace with no information, does not know who this handsome and extraordinary young man is.

However, it is probably not an ordinary person for King Rong to be able to occupy Prince Rong's mansion as his own mansion after his failure.

"My next one is Zhang Xuan, the son of Zhang Jiuling, the official obeisance to Fuguo Zhongyonghou, the general of Jinwu Guard and Habayashi Guard, and the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture." Zhang Xuan smiled lightly.

Concubine Mei was taken aback, she was in such a high position at such a young age, obviously...

But she couldn't care less about thinking so much at the moment... After all, to her, it doesn't matter who Zhang Xuan is, what matters is whether she can survive and give birth to the child.If it wasn't for the child in her womb, she would have committed suicide in despair.

"I won't kill you." Zhang Xuan smiled, "You can rest assured."

"Why? Aren't you afraid that your servant's immortality will bring you trouble?" Concubine Mei looked up at Zhang Xuan in a daze.

"Because you are pregnant..." Zhang Xuan said indifferently, "Besides, Concubine Mei is dead, remember what I said, you will be called Jiang Ping'er from now on, Concubine Mei was buried in the rebellion in the past, that's all."

"As for this child, I will adopt it." Zhang Xuan waved his hand abruptly, "You can rest assured in this secret room, and I will put you out in a few days... I think you are a smart woman, know what to do."

"Take off your palace attire and put on this dress. From now on, Concubine Mei is dead, and you are Jiang Ping'er."

After Zhang Xuan finished speaking, he drifted away.

In the secret room, only Jiang Ping'er was left sitting on the bed in a daze, and then her body softened and she fell down, covering her face and letting out a low, hysterical wail.

……

……

"Ruyan, you will take care of this woman in the future. Remember what I said, you can't tell anyone about what happened today, including Ruyu. Do you understand what I said?"

Ruyan straightened her face, nodded respectfully, and said, "Master, this servant knows, even if this servant is dead, she won't tell outsiders."

"From now on, this place will be a forbidden area in the mansion, and no one can approach it."

"I will hand over the key to you, except for you, anyone who dares to approach—"

Zhang Xuan smiled coldly, "Kill without pardon!"

Ruyan's heart trembled, she lowered her head in fear, and let out a soft "hmm".

Who is Zhang Xuan, Ru Yan naturally knows better than others.What he said was always the same. As a personal maid, she only had to complete the tasks assigned by Zhang Xuan, which was the most basic.Once something goes wrong, even if Zhang Xuan spoils her again, he will not show mercy.
