Li Fuyan was previously the long history of assisting Sima Chiang, and had a deep grudge against Li Huaiyu. During her time in Feiyun Palace, Li Fuyan submitted twenty memorials to the emperor, each one seeking ways to put her to death. This persons purpose in court, for so many years, has only been two things.
One is to let Li Huaiyu die, and two is to let all those who are in the same party as Li Huaiyu die!
Now shes dead, Li Feng Xing still comes looking for Jiang Xuan Jin. What he wants to do is obvious.
She stood up straight, with a jade pendant in her hand, and suddenly slipped behind the pear-wood screen.
Jiang Xuanjin frowned and looked at her: "What are you doing?"
"What else can I do, to maintain your reputation, Zi Yang Jun?" The person behind the screen laughed and said, "Cant let others see a girl like me in your room?"
"Misss home?" Hearing these three words from her mouth, Jiang Xuanjin only wanted to sneer.
He got up, washed his face and rinsed his mouth while coughing: "You should also avoid going to other places."
"No way!" Hua Yu stretched out her head from behind the screen, her face serious as she said, "I feel uncomfortable all over if I dont see you for a moment!"
"Dont lie." Jiang Xuanjin shook his head.
"Oh no, you dont believe me again!" Cai Yu stomped her foot and said, "Someones genuine and sincere heart is going to be trampled on the ground and crushed by you!"
Putting down the handkerchief used to wipe her face, Jiang Xuanjin turned around and looked at her, his eyes calm and unruffled: "Do you have a conscience?"
The three words were calm and peaceful, but they made Hua Yus heart skip a beat. Subconsciously, she didnt dare look into his eyes, only smiled and jumped out, grasping his hand and saying: "Do I have a pulse or not? Do you want to feel it?"
As she spoke, she pulled his hand and placed it on her chest.
Jiang Xuanjin took two steps back in fright, staring at her in shock, his temples throbbing: "How dare you!"
I thought yesterday was already the limit of shamelessness, but it turns out today can be even more shameless? Is this thing increasing with each passing day?
Her hand was wrested free by him, and Huai Yu hehe laughed twice, also didnt say much, turned her head and jumped back behind the screen.
Jiang Xuanjin stared at the screen, suddenly having an urge to go up and kick it.
"Master, someone has arrived outside the medicine hall." Cheng Xiao cupped his hands and said, "It seems theyve come in quite a hurry."
"Hmm." Suppressing his anger, he sat down in the chair beside him, "Ask him to come in."
"Yes."
"Hes gone. Jiang Xuanjin looked at the open door and said in a low voice, Dont blame me for not warning you, later when you hear something you shouldnt, youll bring trouble upon yourself."
"Havent you heard of a saying?" The person behind the screen replied lazily, "To die under the peony flowers is to be a romantic ghost."
Jiang Xuwen: "......"
He will one day have this persons mouth sewn up!
"Your Majesty!" Li Feng Xing quickly walked in, his face stern, and bowed as soon as he entered. "I heard that Your Majesty recently caught Qing Si, the personal maid of Princess Chang."
Hua Yus face changed behind the screen.
Jiang Xuanjin sat up straight and heard the words without any urgency, only covering his mouth to cough lightly and say: "Please sit down first, sir."
Lai Feng took a deep breath and sat down at the table, suppressing his impatience.
"If Im not mistaken, Your Excellency should be busy with the examination of officials, why would you come to ask about this matter?"
Li Feng Xing furrowed his brow: "The Grand Princesss funeral procession has departed, yet the remnants of her faction are still at large, continuing to stir up trouble. How can I not worry? You also know the Grand Princesss methods, I fear she died with a grudge, leaving behind some hidden scheme for revenge."
"These matters have already been fully entrusted to me by Your Majesty." Jiang Xuanjin raised his head and looked at him lightly, "Sir, are you worried that I am not capable of handling things?"
"...How is it that she has not been thrown into the Grand Prison of the Tribunal, when several days ago you already seized her?"
Jiang Xuanjin picked up the medicine beside him and took a sip, his eyes cast downward at the brown liquid, without responding.
Lifeng Xing was a very impatient person, but in front of Ziyang Jun, he didnt dare to be presumptuous. He held back for a long time, watching as the other still showed no intention of responding to him, and his heart couldnt help but feel a little anxious.
"What are you thinking about, Your Highness? Now Han Xiao and Xu Xians group are just waiting for Qing Sis confession to convict them. As long as the remnants of Princess Dan Yang are all caught, your wish will be fulfilled!"
Jiang Xuanjin didnt even lift his head: "My wish, from start to finish, has always been for the young emperor to take power and for imperial authority to be stable. What you said, sir, is your own personal desire, not what I am striving for."
Huaiyu behind the screen listened to these words and silently sneered.
How good it sounds! Is your wish merely for the young emperor to take power and stabilize imperial authority? If thats truly all, why bother going to such great lengths to kill her?
Li Fengxing was choked by these words, his face turned a bit pale, and he remained silent for a moment before speaking in a calm tone: "In any case, to capture the remaining Dan Yang remnants is not contrary to your wishes."
"Remnant?" Savoring these two words, Jiang Xuanjin burst out laughing and looked up at the person in front of him. "The remnant you speak of, is it the loyal and patriotic General Xu Xian of the Xu family, or is it Han Xiao, a high-ranking official of two dynasties? Or perhaps its Yun Lengqing, who has just returned from his mission to Western Liang and achieved great merit?"
These people all have a deep friendship with Princess Chang of Danyang, but at the same time, they are also pillars of the state.
Li Feng Xing was speechless, he looked up at Jiang Xuan Jin and suddenly realized that he had found the wrong person.
I thought Ziyang Jun helped kill Danyang, standing on their side. In fact, this person is just a loyalist who only helps with things that align with his goal of protecting the emperor. If the purpose is different, he has no interest at all.
He clenched his fists and stood up, saying: "It was I who was rude, this matter should still be decided by you."
Jiang Xuanjin nodded his head and exchanged a few pleasantries before seeing him off with his eyes.
The door opened and closed again. Huai Yu walked out from behind the screen, her previous complex expression disappearing, and a sly smile filled her eyes once more.
"Youre amazing!" She praised with her hands together in admiration.
He cast her a sidelong glance, and Jiang Xuanjin coughed twice more.
"Goodness, look at this poor thing, still worrying about these things while being ill." Hua Yu pulled him up from the chair and said, "Come on, go lie down."
"Let go." He frowned.
"I wont let go, dont say such useless words."
“……”
Smiling, she pressed him onto the bed and covered him with a quilt. Huai Yu propped her chin on her hand and stared at him with wide eyes: "Dont you think Im very good at taking care of people?"
Jiang Xuanjin didnt have the patience to listen to her nonsense: "Get straight to the point."
"Alright, Ill be straightforward." With a clap of her hands, Huaiyu smiled and said, "Do you accept maids?"
"Not taking it!"
"Your heart is so ruthless, weve been intimate before..."
"Shut up!" Jiang Xuanjin sat up with a jerk, his face stern. "Ill have Cheng Xu send you home right now."
"No!" Cai Yu pouted and shook her head like a rattle drum, "Either you take me there yourself or you accept me as your disciple!"
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xuanjins coughing became even more severe. He couldnt help but wonder if this was some kind of curse left by Dan Yang at the time of his death. Why did he have to run into someone like that?!
