The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 248. Sacrifice identity

No matter how big the waves are in the capital, in the courtyard where Jiang Ruan is located, there is still no sound of wind, and the dumb maidservant can’t speak. And besides the big white dog who was covering her, there was only the flesh and blood in the abdomen. As the days passed, Jiang Ruan could also feel a slight bulge in his lower abdomen, and even if he touched it with his hand, he could feel a clear bulge. Nowadays, she wears more generous clothes every day, except for the dumb maidservant, no one sees it, but she hasn’t been noticed for the time being. But after all, this is not the way to go, as time goes by, it will eventually become more and more memorable. And the people she came into contact with would definitely not be the only dumb maidservant, so if there were more days, she would be more dangerous.

I am completely isolated from the outside world, so I don’t know what is going on outside. Jiang Ruan is not without anxiety. Now she just wants to take good care of the child in her belly. The rest is to ensure the safety of the child. Consider it again.

On this day, Jiang Ruan had used rice, even though the dumb maid cooked more rice for the white dog, but also more meaty, but for a pregnant person, these things were far from enough. What’s more, Jiang Ruan also had old illnesses in the past, and his body was inferior to others. Therefore, after this period of time, he has become much weaker.

She leaned on the soft couch and flipped through some textbooks specially prepared on the table, but her gaze did not turn upward at all, thinking about her own affairs. Until a strange voice came: “Princess Hong’an.”

Jiang Ruan raised his eyes and saw a man in a gray robe standing in front of the door. This man was wearing a mask on his left face and only half of his cheeks were exposed. A pair of green fox eyes looked a little strange. Who is this man if he is not Yuanchuan?

Jiang Ruan was slightly surprised. Now that she was pregnant, her reaction became more and more sluggish. She didn’t even know when there were more people in the house. She did not stand up, and leaned on the couch motionlessly. The wide front swing of her clothes was just enough to cover the bulge of her lower abdomen.

Yuan Chuan walked in slowly, with a smile on his face, because he could only see the expression on half of his face, it looked strange. He sat down on the wooden chair in front of Jiang Ruan and said in a leisurely manner: “I haven’t seen him for a long time, the princess is a lot more haggard.”

Jiang Ruan didn’t say anything, Yuan Chuan continued: “I have seen Prince Xiao the day before, and it seems to have been reduced a lot. It turns out that the husband and wife are in the same heart, and Yuan Chuan also admires it very much.”

“The messenger came today, probably not just to tell me this.” Jiang Ruan said, “I don’t know what is going on?”

Yuan Chuan smiled: “The princess really still has such a straightforward temper, but he seems a little anxious. To be honest, Yuan Chuan came today not to renew the past, but to tell the princess something.”

Jiang Ruan’s eyes fell on him, and his tone was very calm: “What’s the matter?”

Yuan Chuan paused before saying slowly: “General Jiang entered the dungeon, and His Highness Thirteen was placed under house arrest. Miss Zhao, who has already been married to General Jiang, is now also charged with murder. Oh, no, it’s not Miss Zhao. It’s the entire Zhao family, and now it has the name of murdering your majesty, I am afraid it will be difficult to preserve.”

Jiang Ruan listened quietly, and did not show the slightest change in expression because of Yuan Chuan’s words. Yuan Chuan saw this scene, his eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn’t help but want to look at Jiang Ruan’s expression more carefully.

Xuan Li is about to start doing it, and before that, he has to test Jiang Ruan for the last time. At the critical moment, Xuanli was not easy to come forward, and the saint had a private feeling towards Jiang Ruan. Yuan Chuan didn’t think Dan Zhen could get any benefits from Jiang Ruan’s words, so he had to come forward in person. He knew that Jiang Ruan was sly and cunning, but after saying these things, Jiang Ruan couldn’t see any loopholes, and Yuan Chuan couldn’t help but feel a little skeptical.

One is his own elder brother, the other is his handkerchief, and the other is the future master who is related to the future. Jiang Ruan should not be the indifferent gesture in front of him in any case. But Jiang Ruan has always known how to control his emotions, maybe now he is just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

“The messenger,” Jiang Ruan said while Yuanchuan’s thoughts were flashing, and she said: “Now it’s time to call you the messenger of southern Xinjiang. Your saint in southern Xinjiang once met me. From her words, It seems that I want to invade the land of the entire Dajin Dynasty. Perhaps I shouldn’t say it is wishful thinking, but southern Xinjiang is only a small and small country, and it was not an opponent of the Jin Dynasty when it was the most powerful. Why is it so arrogant now?” Jiang Ruan He didn’t answer Yuan Chuan’s words, but talked about another thing. Yuan Chuan’s expression moved slightly, and then he smiled and said, “Could the princess care about my southern Xinjiang?”

“I can’t talk about caring, but people always like to watch the excitement.” Jiang Ruan said with a smile: “I don’t know what kind of agreement your country has reached with the Eighth Highness, but now it seems that I don’t understand it. Expensive Guo single-mindedly defeated His Highness the Thirteenth His Highness Fu Ba. Is it possible to marry clothes for the sins of others? Excuse me, our Highness the Eighth, we are not some kind of people.”

“In matters of the world, there are gains and losses. The deal with the Eighth Highness has naturally achieved equal conditions.” Yuanchuan changed his words: “Since Nanjiang and the Eighth Highness are already an alliance, now the Eighth Highness is in a good situation. We are naturally overjoyed, but isn’t the princess worried about his elder brother?”

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: “My eldest brother has never made any mistakes. Even if he is sent to the jail for a while, there will be a day when things will come to light in the future, so why should I worry.”

What she said was frank, and Yuan Chuan was even more suspicious. Is it possible that Jiang Ruan still has no choice? But he couldn’t think of it, his eyes fell on the big white dog lying down and dozing in the corner of the room. Jiang Ruan asked the dumb maid for a dog and he knew it. At first, he thought about whether there were any tricks in it, but after observing it for a long time, he really didn’t find anything. As soon as Jiang Ruan left the house, there would be countless people watching her, where could he play any tricks. What’s more, she rarely goes out of the house on weekdays, and a woman who can’t even get out of the house naturally can’t make any waves.

可若说蒋阮真的怕孤单寂寞来养只大白狗，总又觉得哪里不对，元川第一次有些头疼。他突然发觉，大锦朝的女子比南疆的女子心思更加诡谲，十分难以揣摩。尤其是蒋阮，更是其中之甚。他随口道：“郡主莫不是在诓我，若是真心坦然，为何连狗的喂得如此不尽心，都瘦了许多。”

那大白狗看着精瘦，蒋阮微微一怔，她每日借着大白狗的名头吃饭，可畜生的生长总是直接体现出来的。这狗大约从前也是被喂得太好，如今不过短短些时日，竟是看着十分瘦骨嶙峋，一眼就看出有些奇怪。

她不言，这样的沉默落在元川眼中倒是有些放心，他心中松了口气。想着蒋阮一定是故意虚张声势，如今大局已定，再有什么都怕是难以有转圜的余地，既然如此，倒是可以与宣离说，即刻动手，事不宜迟了。

元川心情陡然间便变得好了些，他看向蒋阮，这个女人始终是圣女心中的一根刺，身为圣女最信任的幕僚，他这一生就是为圣女扫平路上的所有障碍。琦曼和宣离要留着蒋阮换取萧韶的力量，可丹真的心里只想要置蒋阮于死地，这个目的他终是会替丹真达成的。他会想法子破坏宣离的交易，一旦蒋阮被萧韶救回，日后想要在下手，只怕是难得多。要如何不动声色的让这个女人死去，元川心中已经有了主意。他又站起身来，俯视着蒋阮道：“原本元川今日过来，是想着郡主孤自一人，不知道外面是情景，特意来告知一声。不过眼见郡主心思沉静，并不因此苦恼，元川也就心满意足了。郡主也莫要太过感怀，待大局已定，必然会给郡主一个安身之所。”

他说完此话，便大笑着离去，再也不看蒋阮一眼，好似已经心中有了十足的把握一般。待元川走后，蒋阮面上的冷静这才慢慢散去，目光中似是有一丝轻松，但又含着一丝紧张。

元川特意来告知，看来宣离已经开始动手了，一切都按照自己所想的那般发展，既然元川来特意试探，只能说明对方还没有发觉其中的蹊跷。今日她这般顺着元川的心思演了一出戏，就是知道元川会将试探的结果告知宣离。宣离吃了定心丸，这才会开始动手，她必须赶快催着宣离动手。

Everything here can be expected. The only thing that I didn’t expect was that I was pregnant, and the place was so hidden that no one had found her yet. In this way, the child in the stomach is very dangerous. As a guise, the big white dog didn’t know how long it could last, but one more day would be more dangerous. For example, today, it is extremely dangerous.

Yuan Chuan came out of the house and saw the dumb maid carrying the leftovers to wash the dishes. Yuan Chuan saw that there was not much leftovers, and the plates and saucers looked very huge. First he was startled, and then he asked: “This is the dog prepared. Food?”

The dumb maidservant opened her mouth “ahhhh” and nodded indiscriminately. Yuan Chuan frowned: “I have eaten so much, how can I be so skinny…” The food in the hands of this dumb maid seemed to be a lot, but the white dog I saw at Jiang Ruan today is not fat and strong. The appearance, even very thin. On weekdays, Yuan Chuan would never see this little thing in his eyes, but as long as things have something to do with Jiang Ruan, Yuan Chuan always feels that things are not that simple, so he has to come up with one. So looking at this thing, I think hard.

The dumb maid stumbled and accidentally dropped the dinner plate to the ground. Yuan Chuan woke up from his contemplation and glanced at the mess on the ground with a bit of disgust. Because he didn’t think of the reason, he became bored. Turned around and left.

In the Jinying Palace, Xiao Shao changed his official robes, because he didn’t go to court very often on weekdays. The unicorn embroidered with gold thread was very mighty, only when he changed into a sash, he immediately seemed a little majestic.

He was born handsome, and he was extremely eye-catching in the crowd, but today he was followed by a strange man. This man was wearing a dark red patterned official uniform. The style of the official uniform seemed a bit outdated, seemingly right. Years ago, but on this man’s boat, it didn’t feel old-fashioned at all. On the contrary, it had the mellow aroma of a vintage wine.

This is an extremely handsome middle-aged man, even now his facial features appear extremely distinct, let alone think of his youthful demeanor. There seemed to be a literati-like purity on his body, and it seemed to be scattered and romantic, giving people a feeling of intermingling between mature and young.

The man looked at Xiao Shao and said, “Master, let’s go.”

There were two horses tied side by side on the pegs outside the house, a batch of black and a batch of snow-white, Xiao Shao turned over and jumped onto the black horse, the man naturally jumped on the snow-white one, and the two rode away on the horse. But on the roof behind the mansion gate, Jin San “pooh” spit out the grass he was chewing, and said: “I didn’t expect that Steward Lin was really a beautiful man. He was still talking nonsense.”

Jin Si shook his head: “You can’t look good. This person looks more serious, but looks a little unfamiliar.”

These days, in the Jinying Palace, almost everyone noticed the changes in Steward Lin, who became younger and handsome every day. In this world, apart from disguise, there is probably no way to make people look good, and disguise is all done overnight. There is no such thing as a gradual approach. It’s just that the Jinyi guards have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and they are all well-informed masters. Looking at them, they can see that the way is coming. I think that it is about the ugly and old medicine that Steward Lin took, hiding it. My appearance is now about to take some medicine, and it gradually returns to its original appearance.

“I have been searching for so long, and I should be very happy to finally find the antidote.” Jin San said with emotion, “Now, no one doubts that he said he is a beautiful man.” From ugly to beautiful, it is probably Everyone will be happy, who would think he looks good? Steward Lin is also a person who pays attention to appearance. When he used to look like that, he always commented on his own taste. Now he has a face that can complement his clothes. Isn’t it a happy thing in life?

“That’s not necessarily.” Jin Si shook his head: “For so many years, he has been acting honestly as a housekeeper. It may not be that he doesn’t know that he has a way to restore his appearance. It’s like we must hide our identity when we go out on a mission. But Steward Lin did this probably to hide his identity.”

“Then why are you looking back now?” Jin San felt that what Jin Si said was reasonable, but he still didn’t understand.

Jin Si sighed: “Something happened now that forced him to pick up his identity again, and the original hiding is gone. You didn’t realize that Lao Lin’s temperament nowadays has become less and less like Lao Lin. Is it?” Jin Si lay down on his head with both hands on his head: “The Jinying Palace is almost out of Lao Lin.”

The original old forest is gone, and once the handsome middle-aged man has restored his original identity, he probably won’t come back to be a little housekeeper again. Such a person should also have a big background.

Jin San also remained silent, and said for a long time: “I hope they will go smoothly along the way and don’t live up to the identity of sacrificing Lao Lin.”

When Fang entered the palace, Xiao Shao and Steward Lin separated at the door. The two obviously went on a different path. Steward Lin walked through the garden from the promenade in front of the door. His appearance was unfamiliar and tight. There were eunuchs and guards coming to stop him, but Steward Lin untied a bronze medal from his waist and swayed in front of those guards. After shaking, the guards were taken aback, and looked at the sign again, seemingly incredulous, before they had to let go, and after Steward Lin left, they could not help but look at him.

A curious little eunuch stepped forward and asked, “Big Brother, that man just saw something with you, so why did he let him go? He clearly looked at his face tightly.”

“What do you know.” The guard hurriedly urged him to be quieter, and replied: “He was holding the permit from Prince Hong Xi. There were only two permits. I have seen it once. Grandpa Li has one. Yeah, but after the prince Hongxi left, Grandpa Li never used it. He didn’t expect to see it today.” At this point, the guard was also a little surprised: “But who is that person? There is also this thing, it looks like a very familiar appearance in the palace, not like a stranger, is it an old friend of His Royal Highness Prince Hong Xi?”

Yes, in the complicated road in the palace, butler Lin’s steps are very steady. After so many years, even if some things have changed, a lot of new gardens and yards have been added to the palace, but generally there is no change. , Like a human heart. It is the easiest thing to change, and it is the night market that is least easy to change. Steward Lin felt very complicated in his heart. He couldn’t describe the feeling in his heart at the moment. If he could, he would rather not enter the palace for the rest of his life. His future, his prosperity, his ambition, and his confidant were all buried in this cold palace. Butler Lin knows better than anyone how ruthless there is in the deep palace. But he came today, not for anything else, just for a promise.

The direction he was walking was Ci Ning Palace.

Aunt Yang carefully slapped the Queen Mother Yide on her shoulders, her strength was very good, and she had taken care of the Queen Mother Yide for decades, and Aunt Yang was always so considerate. At this time in the past, the Queen Mother Yi De was served comfortably by her, but today, the Queen Mother Yi De’s brows have never loosened, as if she has encountered something unsolvable, she has been frowning tightly.

Aunt Yang sighed silently in her heart. Perhaps Xuan Pei couldn’t keep the news of the killing of the king after all, but she wanted to try her best to keep it away. How could the Eighth Prince’s group release such an opportunity to attack Xuan Pei? pass. Nowadays, all the Zhezi flying up and down all hope that the prince will be appointed as soon as possible. The thirteen princes are not worthy of the emperor due to their virtues. The eight princes are the well-deserved future masters of the Dajin dynasty. Although these voices are not as arrogant as they are on the surface, they have almost spread throughout the entire Dajin Dynasty. Xuan Pei was under house arrest. Naturally, he didn’t know these things outside, but it might be a good thing. Aunt Yang thought to herself, that was just a young child. It would be too cruel for him to face cruelty and reversal at this age.

Xuan Pei did not face these cruel things directly, and all the pressure was put on the head of the Queen Mother Yi De. The Queen Mother Yi De, who was in charge of politics, could not do it for too long, otherwise he would be criticized by the world, just like before. After the death of the emperor, there was a queen dowager who personally governed the country. Even if the family and the country were governed well, she could never get the name of a demon queen. In the end, she was overthrown by the civil and military officials and the regent.

If the empress dowager Yide also delayed to express her position, then the courtiers would think that she wanted to control the government by herself. But once Xuanpei provokes this matter, the Empress Dowager Yide can’t clearly support him. Under the situation of North Korea, some of Xuanpei’s followers have also reverted, but Xuanli has a lot more people.

Aunt Yang knows the thoughts of the Empress Dowager Yide. At the beginning, the emperor wanted to make Xiao Shao the prince, but Xiao Shao never meant that. Empress Dowager Yide thought that she owed Xiao Shao, it was impossible not to consider Xiao Shao’s will. If Xiao Shao didn’t want to be the emperor, the Empress Dowager Yide would naturally not force it. The remaining eight and thirteen princes, in all fairness, no matter which side Empress Yide chose, it would be harmless to herself. She has always been the emperor’s grandmother, and neither Xuan Pei nor Xuan Li can do anything to her, as long as they are not afraid of being drowned by the spit of the world.

The original temperament of the Empress Dowager Yiyide would definitely not be able to take action, but the Jinying Palace had clearly stated that it was on the side of Xuanpei, which represented Xiao Shao’s attitude. Although this must be because of Jiang Ruan, it turned out later that since Xuanli and Nanjiang had an unclear relationship, on the side of the Queen Mother Yide, it was a pawn that could no longer be used.

Therefore, the Queen Mother Yide will not publicly support Xuanli. Even if it is the general trend, the Queen Mother Yide will hold on with countless pressure. This woman will be like an iron mirror even in the most brutal and difficult years, and will not be with anyone. yield.

“Niang, now…” Aunt Yang couldn’t help but asked the question that she had always wondered: “What are you doing so hard for?”

“In order to wait for an opportunity.” said the Queen Mother Yi De, who closed her eyes.

“The opportunity… is it the opportunity of His Highness Thirteen?” Aunt Yang asked.

“If he only has the ability to wait, he doesn’t need to think about that position.” The Queen Mother Yide opened her eyes, her eyes full of clarity and sharpness, and it seemed that other emotions flashed by, but Aunt Yang didn’t look at it. arrive.

“The empress dowager, it’s really hard work.” Aunt Yang said softly. The haze in this palace has not cleared a day, and outsiders can only see how many things the Queen Mother has done in it.

As Wu thought to himself, a notice from the little eunuch suddenly came from outside: “Encourage the Empress Dowager, someone outside the door holds a token to beg to meet——”

The little eunuch gave the token with both hands. Aunt Yang took it and handed it to the Queen Mother Yide. When the Queen Mother Yide’s eyes touched the token, she was first startled, as if she had fallen into a certain memory. Then, her expression suddenly changed. Sharpened, he said solemnly: “Bring in!”
