The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

The wind was cold and the streets of the capital were filled with a thin layer of fog.

Zhao Xu reviewed the game with his adviser Guo Si last night.

From the discovery that Zuo Hongwen was the orphan of King Cheng, to the recent corruption case, the Jiang family and Jiang Nansheng seemed to be involved in all of this.

If it was said that Zuo Hongwen was done by Jiang Nansheng for the eldest princess, then why did he force the Zhou family to this point step by step?

Zhao Xu's eyes revealed no emotion.

Guo Si stood beside him with a serious look on his face.

He suspected that there must be an expert around Jiang Nansheng who was giving him advice. But after several meetings, there was no one else around Jiang Nansheng except Jiang Fei.

Zhao Xu slowly raised his eyes and looked at the carriage with green curtains waiting beside him. The tall horse with a Danglu on its head was the symbol of the Jiang family.

Unless the counselor was a person with bad manners, how could he have never appeared in public? Otherwise, how could he have been treated with such courtesy?

At this time, the people who were watching the excitement outside the Meridian Gate dispersed.

Jiang Nansheng noticed Zhao Xu's scrutiny, and after Jiang Fei put the cloak on him and tied the laces, he said calmly, "The Second Prince is interested in them?"

His carriage with blue curtains was drawn by four horses. Although the horses were not as good as the war horses used by Chiang's army in the past, they were all of extraordinary quality.

Zhao Xu raised his lip corners, retracted his gaze from the carriage curtain, and said casually, "I heard that the Zhaoye Jade Lion of the Dingguo Mansion gave birth to a foal. I wonder if you can give it up?"

After saying this, his expression turned serious.

Memories flooded into his mind. He had seen the Jade Lion of the Night once when he was a child.

The horse's body is snow-white, its fur is as white as snow, shining in the sun. Its body is agile and graceful, and when it runs, it is like a white phantom passing across the earth.

It was the most magnificent BMW he had ever seen.

But I heard that this horse is not as brave as the Duke's former warhorse.

Not long ago, I heard that the Duke Dingguo's mansion had acquired a night-lighting jade lion. Its appearance and spirit resembled the warhorse that had accompanied the Duke on his expeditions.

Zhao Xu immediately wanted to get it and temporarily put aside the grudge between him and Jiang Nansheng.

Jiang Nansheng raised his lips and refused with a smile, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint the Second Prince. The horse already has an owner."

This was the third time Zhao Xu had tasted rejection, all by the man in front of him.

Jiang Nansheng stepped onto the carriage and paused, then turned his head and said, "If the Second Prince doesn't mind, you can have someone go to the Jiang family stable to choose a horse of your choice. This will be my New Year's gift to you."

Zhao Xu replied behind him: "I heard that Princess Anping is pregnant. I will send a big gift later to thank Master Jiang Wu for showing mercy in the corruption case."

The words "show mercy" were emphasized a bit.

To Jiang Nansheng's ears, he only felt that he was furious and helpless.

Jiang Nansheng lifted the curtain of the carriage on one side, looked at Zhao Xu, and said in a gentle voice: "Second Prince, those who enter with wrongful means will also leave with wrongful means. Everything I have done is just to live up to the trust of the emperor."

Zhao Xu watched the green-curtained carriage gradually disappear and the bodies of the Zhou family members being dragged away in front of him, his heart filled with anger.

Jiang Nansheng actually said shamelessly that all this had nothing to do with him!

Guo Si walked behind his master and put the cloak on him, "Master, it's cold, don't let the queen in the palace worry."

Zhao Xu's eyes turned cold, "Go check who the counselor next to Jiang Nansheng is. I want to see him alive or dead!"

One thing after another not only made him lose the initiative, but also lost most of his wealth.

Guo Si opened the curtain and stepped on after his master got on the carriage.

He poured a cup of hot tea for his master and said, "Jiang Nansheng only has a counselor named He You, who is a descendant of the Jiang family army."

"Not only him, most of the servants in the Dingguo Mansion are descendants of the Jiang family army. Especially Minghui Hall and Jiang Wuye's Zhuli Pavilion, which are watertight. It is impossible to insert people in."

Zhao Xu held the teacup in his hand, closed his eyes, then opened them and said, "Where is Yuanyuan Hall?"

Guo Si shook his head: "Except for the maids and servants given by Madam Jiang, the rest are all dowries brought by the Princess of Anping County. Not only are the guards extraordinary, but even the maids are more clever than ordinary maids."

Zhao Xu snorted coldly, "Jiang Nansheng is quite lucky..."

Jiang Nansheng placed the teacup on the small table in front of him. The cushion on it was made for him by Jin Chu.

Her shadow could be seen everywhere in the carriage.

All kinds of warm protective gear reflect her thoughtfulness.

Thinking of her instructions before leaving, Jiang Nansheng said to Jiang Fei: "The nail can be pulled out now."

Not only are there people sent by the Second Prince in the Duke's Mansion, but Jin Chu is pregnant now, and he doesn't want to put anyone in danger around her.

Jiang Fei agreed and asked, "Fifth Master, what you just said, will the Second Prince think that you are showing weakness?"

"It doesn't matter whether it is or not, I just want him to face the facts." Jiang Nansheng paused after speaking.

Seeing his master deep in thought, Jiang Fei asked in a low voice, "Fifth Master, do you think there is something wrong?"

"I was wondering if the Lord is satisfied with my sword..." Jiang Nansheng raised his eyebrows: "I thought the Jiang family was the balance point between the eldest prince and the second prince..."

Now it seems that it is more than just a balance point.

The eldest sister had only one child, Yongle. His father had always been loyal to the emperor and did not participate in factional struggles.

The Jiang family has been doing the same thing for many years.

But it was as if it was being pushed forward by an invisible big hand.

As for the Zheng family, it is understandable that Zheng Wenyang's military achievements are highly respected. It is more like he suddenly appeared out of nowhere and became a new noble in the court.

Then, Zheng Kaicheng won the title of top scholar, making the Zheng family popular in Shengjing City.

Jiang Nansheng felt that the emperor was not only using the Jiang family, but also the Zheng family.

Jiang Fei scratched his head, wondering what Fifth Master meant.

It would be great if He You were here.

Jiang Nansheng's mind flashed with Zhao Xu's expression just now. He seemed to be looking for something beside him, and after being discovered, he made an excuse to mention the Zhaoye Jade Lion.

Not many people know about that pony.

When he returned to Yuanyuan Hall, it had already darkened outside.

When the maid saw the Fifth Master, she knelt down to greet him and then pulled aside the curtain.

Jiang Nansheng turned his head, stepped in, untied his cloak, and raised his hand to signal the maid behind him not to serve him.

Gu Jinchu sat on the Luohan bed, looked up and saw him coming in, smiled and said: "You are back, why are you back so early today?"
