Marriage of the Di Daughter

Time passed quickly, and it was three days later.

For the past three days, Jiang Li didn't do anything in the mansion, just like in Tongxiang before, she and Ye Mingyu took care of Xue Huaiyuan. Every day, people have to go to the inn where the people in Tongxiang live to see if the people are well.

As an important witness, Feng Yutang has been imprisoned by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the common people must be well protected. Jiang Yuanbai was uncharacteristically not coming to Jiangli's place again, probably because he was also distressed. If the case of the Xue family really involved the right minister Li's family, Jiang Yuanbai would naturally be in a dilemma.

Jiang Li didn't care that Jiang Yuanbai didn't help her, as long as Jiang Yuanbai didn't listen to Ji Shuran's pillow talk, it would be fine if something happened to hinder her at this juncture. Of course, Hong Xiaodi Jinkou Yuyan promised to personally supervise this matter, even if Jiang Yuanbai really wanted to stop it, there was nothing he could do.

We can only wait quietly for the day when the trial will come.

On that day, Jiang Li woke up early. Emperor Hong Xiao said that to handle the case in front of the emperor, Jiang Li had to enter the palace. This is different from the last time he entered the palace for a palace banquet. This time he entered the palace, he must have already attracted the attention of King Cheng and Princess Yongning, as well as Shen Yurong. Princess Yongning is frantic, she may not dare to attack her in the palace, but she cannot carry weapons when entering the palace. Even the dagger that Jiang Jingrui gave was not easy to bring into the palace this time.

At this time, Jiang Li became envious of Ji Heng's fan instead. One must know that Ji Heng was able to swagger into the palace with his fan. The fan was so gorgeous and exquisite, who knew it was a sharp weapon that could kill people just by opening and closing it.

After all, the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is, just like the owner of a fan.

When she was lost in thought, Tong'er smiled behind her and said, Girl, I combed my hair, how about it?

Jiang Li looked at herself in the mirror, Tong'er was dexterous, but Jiang Li only let her wear a simple black gauze bun, and there were no ornaments on the bun covered by the black gauze. But it made her face white and beautiful, making her more refined.

Tong'er, who originally thought that Jiang Li's dress was too light, became satisfied when she saw it, and said: Young girl is so pretty, she looks good with any hairstyle.

Bai Xue came over holding the cloak, hesitated for a moment, and asked, Miss, is it too plain to wear like this? Will the master be angry?

Jiang Li took the snow-white cloak and put it on her body, saying: It's nothing, this is the only way to show how much I attach importance to the case of the Xue family.

She turned around, dressed in white with black hair, inexplicably beautiful, and said, Let's go.

Jiang Yuanbai's carriage was already waiting outside, and as a courtier, Jiang Yuanbai also watched the arraignment of the case together. But the family members don't have to enter the palace together. As soon as Jiang Li left the courtyard, she saw Ji Shuran and Jiang Youyao.

Ji Shuran paused, smiled and said to Jiang Li: Li'er, did you enter the palace so early?

It seems that the second sister can't wait to enter the palace to vindicate the Xue family, Jiang Youyao said with a sneer, I don't know, but there is still a female gentleman in our family who wants to be the master of Qingtian? Don't you want to bring disaster to the family? it is good.

Youyao! Ji Shuran stopped Jiang Youyao's words, and apologized to Jiang Li: Youyao was joking, Li'er, don't take it to heart.

Jiang Li smiled and said: It's nothing. She turned sideways, passed the mother and daughter and walked away without saying a word. However, the more she behaved like this, the angrier Jiang Youyao looked. It felt more and more that Jiang Li didn't take her seriously. He stomped his feet secretly, gritted his teeth and said, Mother, look at her!

It's okay. The smile on Ji Shuran's face also faded, looking at Jiang Li's back, said lightly: Let's see how long she can be arrogant?

Jiang Li took Tong'er and continued to walk forward. Jiang Youyao didn't see Jiang Youyao for a while, and Jiang Youyao became more and more stupid. I don't know if it's because of the marriage with Zhou Yanbang, but Jiang Youyao's impatience is showing on her face. Jiang Li didn't forget that Ji Shuran sent people to attack him in Tongxiang. At first, he thought it was best to live in peace, but now it is impossible.

After finishing the matter of the current case of Xue's family, she must settle with Ji Shuran next.

Only by cleaning up these troublesome little devils, can she really give it a go, to Princess Yongning, to Shen Yurong, and to King Cheng.

At the gate of the mansion, Jiang Yuanbai's carriage had already parked.

In the carriage behind, Ye Mingyu poked his head out and greeted Jiang Li in a low voice: A Li!

Jiang Li replied with a smile: Uncle.

Ye Mingyu and Xue Huaiyuan were in the same carriage, and Xue Huaiyuan had to go to the palace today. Jiang Li was afraid that something might go wrong on the way, and if Xue Huaiyuan were to appear under the eyes of the murderer Yongning, Jiang Li was afraid that Yongning would use some means. Now that Ye Mingyu, who has learned that Princess Yongning is the mastermind behind the scenes, also believes that this matter is of great importance, and promises to stick to Xue Huaiyuan, and will not give Princess Yongning any chance to do anything.

Jiang Li got into the carriage.

Tong'er kicked the carriage aside, almost blinded by the wind and snow outside, and said: Girl, there is so much snow outside.

Jiang Li glanced out, but it was true, since Beiyan had a lot of wind and snow in winter. Today is also considered to be particularly heavy, with goose feathers and heavy snow blowing obliquely, and the sky and the earth will be connected together.

Just wait for the wind to come. Jiang Li smiled.

When the wind blows away the chaos, all the truth will come out.

...

The road to the palace is actually not that far away, but Jiang Li feels that today is a very long day.

Probably she had been waiting for this moment for too long. When she was Xue Fangfei, she waited until she died but failed. Now the Xue family's grievances have finally been picked up from the bottomless water, and if they see a little light from the sky, they will tear away the false corner and reveal the truth. Jiang Li felt that even in the cold winter, her blood became hot.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped.

A voice sounded from outside: Master, we're here.

Jiang Li got off the carriage, and Jiang Yuanbai was already standing outside the carriage. He looked at this daughter with a complicated expression. He sometimes felt guilty and sometimes angry towards this daughter, but now he was more puzzled and strange, and there was also a kind of powerlessness. He can't control Jiang Li's thoughts, even Jiang Li's actions in many cases - Jiang Li can always find other ways to achieve her own goals.

I'm going to see the emperor first. Jiang Yuanbai said to her: You and your third uncle have to go to see the lord of the Ministry of Punishment. The servant will take you there. After a pause, he said again: You... . . . be careful.

Jiang Yuanbai also realized that the complexity behind the Xue family case would put Jiang Li in danger. Just like what Jiang Li said, the person behind this incident was really the right minister Li Zhongnan, and Li Zhongnan was bound to take this bad breath out on Jiang Li. How many souls died unjustly in the palace, Jiang Li was his after all. flesh and blood.

I know, thank you dad. Jiang Li said with a smile: Don't worry dad, with Uncle Ming Yu accompanying me, nothing will happen.

She trusted Ye's family very much, Jiang Yuanbai felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, so he left without saying anything more.

Ye Mingyu helped Xue Huaiyuan get out of the carriage, and said, What did your father say? Jiang Yuanbai didn't like Ye Mingyu, and Ye Mingyu also didn't like Jiang Yuanbai, so he tried his best to avoid talking to Jiang Yuanbai. Ye Mingyu didn't even want to fight Jiang Yuanbai face to face.

It's nothing, just let us be careful in everything.

Could it be that there are still people in the palace attacking us? Ye Mingyu became nervous, No way, who dares to be so bold under the emperor's feet?

Prevention is essential. Jiang Li said, But there should be no danger, let's go first. She was actually not unwarranted, but after thinking about it, there should be Ji Heng's people in the palace. Since Ji Heng promised that he would take his own life, he would not let others kill him. In a way, he is the most reliable guard.

Even if there is any danger, Ji Heng will show up.

Ye Mingyu didn't say anything when he heard the words, and walked in with Jiang Li and the palace guards who led the way.

Xue Huaiyuan's current mentality is that of a five or six-year-old child. On the way to the palace, he would look left and right from time to time, and was very curious about the surrounding environment. With Jiang Li around, he wasn't terribly afraid. Ye Mingyu entered the palace for the first time, but he tried his best to show that he didn't care and was very stable.

Mr. Zhou Dezhao from the Ministry of Punishment is in charge of the case, and Jiang Li will first reconcile with Mr. Zhou as a witness together with Ye Mingyu.

The palace leader who led the way had a very tight mouth, and Ye Mingyu wanted to get some news from him, but he was helpless after a long time. After waiting outside a palace, the palace staff stopped. A man who looked like a guard walked out from the inside, looked at Jiang Li, and said, Second Miss Jiang, Mr. Zhou is waiting inside.

Jiang Li and Ye Mingyu looked at each other and entered the room.

Zhou Dezhao was about the same age as Jiang Yuanbai, with a thin build, a square face, and a square chin. He looked like a resolute man at first glance. He glanced at Jiang Li and Ye Mingyu, then glanced at Xue Huaiyuan who was still playing with the rattle in his hand, and without saying a word of nonsense, cut straight to the point: Second Miss Jiang, the emperor showed me the case of the Xue family. Now, do you know who is involved in this case?

Princess Yongning. Jiang Li said calmly.

Zhou Dezhao was taken aback, as if he didn't expect Jiang Li to speak so frankly, as if he was not a princess of a country, but a commoner on the street. When Emperor Hong Xiao told him about this in person, Zhou Dezhao couldn't hide his surprise. You must know that he had seen a lot of dirty and weird things when he was watching the court, and he had also seen many unsolved cases where the people sued the officials, but this was the first time that the chief minister's daughter sued the current princess.

The evidence in Miss Jiang's hands is convincing, Zhou Dezhao said, The emperor also intends to rehabilitate the people of Tongxiang, but because the princess is involved in this case, the power is complicated. Miss Jiang must think clearly.

There is no turning back when you open the bow, Jiang Li smiled. The emperor personally supervised the handling of this case. Jiang Li is too late to be grateful. She will definitely do her best to let the truth of this case come to light.

Jiang Li bit down on the four words it comes to light.

But this case is not impeccable, Zhou Dezhao said: If the person behind the scenes is really related to the princess, this case alone cannot really solve the source. Instead, it will put Miss Jiang in danger. Even so, Jiang Does Second Miss not change her mind?

Your Majesty Zhou, you don't need to test me. Jiang Li said with a smile: If I have the intention of shrinking back, I don't have to do these things. Besides, the emperor personally supervised the process, and I still have reservations. Wouldn't it be a crime of deceiving the emperor?

Zhou Dezhao can be regarded as an upright official, but to be able to achieve this position, he is not a person who does not know how to adapt. Reminding Jiang Li that this case will not bring down Princess Yongning, but will make Princess Yongning hate her. I don't know if it is because of temptation or out of good intentions. But Jiang Li thought that it was useless to say these things.

Seeing that Jiang Li was determined, Zhou Dezhao couldn't say anything more. Jiang Li is also Jiang Yuanbai's daughter after all, and he still wants to sell Jiang Yuanbai's three-point thin noodles. There is no doubt that Princess Yongning must be offended in this case, but the emperor himself said that he has no second choice. In a certain way, he and Jiang Li are the same.

Okay. Zhou Dezhao nodded, and said: Miss Jiang Er tidy up, we will go to the palace later. After a pause, he continued: Princess Yongning will not go to the palace today, but His Royal Highness King Cheng will be there.

Cheng Wang is Yongning's elder brother, if Jiang Li is made things difficult by Cheng Wang, it is also possible.

Whoever he is, Ye Mingyu couldn't listen anymore, he won't do anything too extreme in front of the emperor, right?

Neither Jiang Li nor Zhou Dezhao spoke. Ye Mingyu naturally didn't know about it because he was far away from the temple, but King Cheng's power and arrogance did not happen overnight. Emperor Hong Xiao wants to keep a low profile, but he also has to avoid his sharp edge. On the surface, he pretends to be a brother and friend, but in fact there is an undercurrent.

Jiang Li sighed softly, and didn't know whether she should sympathize with the current emperor of Beiyan, not to mention that there were still many people eyeing his throne, Ji Heng, the minister he relied on the most, also had his own plan.

Master Zhou, let's go. Jiang Li put away the thoughts in her heart and said.

Zhou Dezhao nodded.

Xue Huaiyuan couldn't go to the hall with Jiang Li immediately, for fear that his delirious mind would disturb the holy car, so he had to be watched over by someone, and he could not face the holy man until the time was right. Therefore, only Jiangli and Ye Mingyu followed Zhou Dezhao to the Jinluan Hall. Estimating the time, all the courtiers who came to watch the interrogation today should have arrived one after another.

When they were approaching the Golden Luan Hall, some courtiers saw them, and they all looked at Jiang Li appreciatively.

Now Jiang Li can be regarded as a big celebrity in Yanjing City, but there is no one who is an official in the family who does not know Jiang Li's name. What Jiang Li did was the first among the noble ladies in Yanjing. However, everyone still couldn't guess what she was thinking, and instead of being a good lady, she got involved in this turmoil and showed her face outside just because of an irrelevant person, and she didn't know what she was trying to do.

While walking, a human voice suddenly came from behind: Master Zhou.

Zhou Dezhao and Jiang Li turned around, and saw a young man walking slowly from behind the garden.

This man was dressed in luxurious brocade clothes, with an extraordinary bearing, and the attendants around him did not look like ordinary people, but he looked handsome, but his eyes were deep and shrewd, and when he looked at people, he made people feel a bit sinister.

Although he called Zhou Dezhao, he stared at Jiang Li without any scruples. Ye Mingyu on one side was a little annoyed, how could he stare at a little girl like this.

Zhou Dezhao bowed and said: I have seen His Royal Highness Cheng Wang.

Jiang Li also bowed to salute.

What Zhou Dezhao said is now a prophecy, and it has come true so soon. Jiang Li didn't want to meet King Cheng here, but she didn't expect to meet King Cheng here before entering the Golden Luan Hall.

Cheng Wang said: This is Miss Jiang Er. He smiled slightly, A few days ago, I saw Miss Jiang Er in the examination field, she was charming, and I never wanted to see her for a long time. It really surprises the king every day.

What he said was a little frivolous. Ye Mingyu's eyes showed displeasure, and Jiang Li was afraid that something would happen to him here, so she said to Zhou Dezhao: Master Zhou, please enter the palace with my uncle first, and I will have a few words with His Highness King Cheng, and I will come soon.

How can this be done? Before Zhou Dezhao could speak, Ye Mingyu objected first. He said, Let's go together. At first glance, King Cheng is not a good person. Ye Mingyu also heard that this time the target was Princess Yongning. Wang is Yongning's elder brother, so he can't vent his anger for Yongning. Moreover, what King Cheng said just now was quite arrogant. He was really worried that Jiang Li and Cheng Wang would be alone together.

Zhou Dezhao was also a little surprised. At this time, Jiang Li didn't try to avoid King Cheng, but even took the initiative to meet him. Isn't she afraid of King Cheng?

Jiang Li was indeed not afraid. She looked calm and calmly explained to Ye Mingyu: It's okay, Uncle, His Highness Cheng Wang and I are just a few steps away from the Jinluan Hall. There are people coming and going here, and Cheng Wang and I Your Highness will not be in danger. I just have something to say, so I will come in soon. Uncle, you are here, but you will delay the affairs of Mr. Tong Zhou, won’t you?

Ye Mingyu wanted to say something, but Zhou Dezhao cupped his hands and said, In that case, the officer will retire first. He signaled to Ye Mingyu, Ye Mingyu was still a little hesitant, but when he saw Jiang Li winking at him, he paused, feeling unwilling Zhou Dezhao, who was unwilling, entered the palace.

Jiang Li always has her own ideas when doing things, and Ye Mingyu is also afraid that she will be rash and disrupt Jiang Li's plan.

After Ye Mingyu and the two left, Cheng Wang narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Li with deep meaning.

What Jiang Li said to Ye Mingyu to make him feel at ease, was actually said for him to listen to. This place is just a few steps away from the Golden Luan Hall, and there are people coming and going, so I must not do anything to Jiang Li. It was precisely because she had calculated this point that she had the courage to talk to herself here alone.

Miss Jiang Er is so courageous, Cheng Wang said, Jiang Shoufu has always been steady, but I didn't expect his daughter to be quite brave. I admire you.

Jiang Li smiled slightly: His Royal Highness praises you.

He accepted it generously.

King Cheng was taken aback, then burst out laughing, and said: Miss Jiang Er is always surprising, I don't know why she is always so confident, is it true that Yongning will be involved in today's incident, so she is so confident?

Jiang Li suddenly raised her head and stared at Cheng Wang, her heart sank slightly.

King Cheng has his own influence in the palace, and Jiang Li has long known it. After all, how could it be possible for a person aiming at that position not to place chess pieces everywhere, but the notes written by himself should be very concealed. Cheng Wang knew now, it can be seen that Hong Xiaodi still has Cheng Wang's eyeliner beside him. And being able to get in touch with such a hidden thing, the eyeliner should be someone close to Hong Xiaodi.

What is Miss Jiang thinking? How did this king know? Cheng Wang took a step further, suddenly lowered his voice, and said viciously: There is nothing in this world that this king doesn't know. The second girl wants to It is too naive to play tricks under the nose of this king, your father dare not do this, you are a braided girl, you are quite courageous.

When he wasn't smiling, the gloomy look on his face was not a disguise, it was truly scary. As long as Jiang Li is the real Second Miss Jiang, or if another little girl comes here, she will be really frightened by King Cheng. But it was Jiang Li, and she even estimated in her heart that although King Cheng was quite powerful, his nature was similar to that of his mother and concubine, Concubine Liu. In terms of mentality and planning alone, it is not as good as Hong Xiaodi, who is weak in power.

Seeing that Jiang Li didn't show panic as expected, King Cheng was even more displeased, and he said: Miss Jiang Er is so courageous, but I don't know how long this courage can last? Do you know that you have offended this king? Even your father can't keep you!

His Royal Highness Cheng Wang. At this moment, another voice came from not far away.

Jiang Li and King Cheng looked at the voice together, but not far away, a young man came quickly and bowed respectfully to King Cheng again: I have seen His Highness King Cheng.

Jiang Li was startled, this person was none other than Ye Shijie.

Now Ye Shijie is the new member of the household department, Wailang. Since he was handpicked by the emperor, he seems to be related to the chief assistant Jiang's family by marriage. In addition, he is a capable person, so he has done a good job. Among the rookies in the court, everyone is willing to sell him a face, and Emperor Hong Xiao admires him very much.

Jiang Li frowned slightly. She didn't expect Ye Shijie to stand up at this time. Ye Shijie had just entered the court not long ago. It would be terrible if he was embarrassed by the king because of this matter. After all, she is a daughter's family. If King Cheng really wants to catch her, he can only start from the inner house. Jiang Li can deal with it carefully. But Ye Shijie is still immature as an official, how can he compare to those experienced people, as long as Cheng Wang's subordinates make things difficult for him in official affairs, Ye Shijie may stumble for no reason at that time.

This young man is very good, but he is not very old, after all he still has some emotions, just like Xue Zhao in the past.

Oh? Rescue soldiers are here. Cheng Wang glanced at Jiang Li, then at Ye Shijie, and said, Second Miss Jiang's cousin and Miss Jiang Er seem to have a very good relationship. Ye Yuanwai, he said slyly His gaze was firmly fixed on Ye Shijie, If you were smarter, you wouldn't have jumped out in such a hurry today. What a pity, he said as if regretting, This king is really reluctant to let go of a talent like you. gone.

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Li's heart tightened, Cheng Wang was clearly eyeing Ye Shijie!

No matter what was going on in Ye Shijie's mind, he still had a respectful look on his face, and said: Your Highness is joking, and being loved by His Highness is a blessing for a lower official.

Although he is young, he is no longer the high-spirited person who would argue endlessly with people on the street over a painting. Facing provocations, he also knows how to avoid the edge and pretend to be crazy.

Instead of being angry, King Cheng smiled, and said, You two are not afraid of this king, and this king will definitely make you regret it...

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a chuckle, someone's voice floated from behind the garden, casually lazy, and with a bit of a smile, said: Oh, isn't this Cheng Wang?

Someone else is coming.

When Jiang Li heard this voice, she was overjoyed. She raised her eyes and saw that the man had a tinge of red in the ice and snow, and in the deep palace with heavy palace walls, there was no gloomy brilliance at all.

His clothes are bright and eye-catching, his appearance is captivating, and the guards around him hold umbrellas for him, so that the snowflakes will not float on him. His voice was low and hoarse, charming and mellow, but he had a kind of schadenfreude of watching the excitement, and said: It's so early in the morning, what's the fuss about?

It was Jiheng, the Duke of Su.

Cheng Wang was also taken aback. After a while, he said to Ji Heng: Mr. Su.

According to the ceremony, Ji Heng should also salute with him. But Ji Heng never saluted him, and King Cheng did not dare to force him. In King Cheng's heart, he was more afraid of Ji Heng than Emperor Hong Xiao. He had tried to pull Ji Heng into his camp desperately, but failed. But Ji Heng did not participate in the camp of Emperor Hong Xiao and the Jiang family, and it was precisely because he always maintained a neutral attitude that King Cheng was on guard against him and would not take the initiative to attack him.

He didn't want to find himself in unexpected trouble.

I heard you talking about life and death from a long distance away. What, someone is going to be unlucky? He folded his hands in his sleeves, and asked with a smile on his face.

Jiang Li bowed to him, and said: It was the minister and cousin who offended His Royal Highness Cheng Wang, and His Royal Highness Cheng Wang was angry.

Now, both Cheng Wang and Ye Shijie looked at Jiang Li.

what happened? Jiang Li actually sow discord in front of King Cheng? And who is he sowing discord? It's Ji Heng! That Su Guogong, who only knows how to watch operas, actually contained an imperceptible, soft accusation in his words, as if Ji Heng was an elder who came to mediate, and the Qingtian master who could make decisions for Jiang Li.

Is she crazy?

King Cheng sneered: Miss Jiang Er is quite good at evading, I'm afraid you didn't annoy this king, but offended him. In the world, no one who offends this king has a good end.

He didn't shy away from Ji Heng's presence, no matter how moody Ji Heng was, he didn't dare to do anything to a prince. When he said this in front of Ji Heng, he seemed to want to test Ji Heng's reaction and see what kind of relationship Ji Heng had with Jiang Li.

Ji Heng's beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He said lightly: Children are ignorant, so why bother about being king, forget it.

He actually... persuaded peace?

Both Ye Shijie and King Cheng stared at Ji Heng in disbelief. Ji Heng's unapologetic apology really showed his attitude, he was protecting Jiang Li!

Jiang Li also widened her eyes. She deliberately brought Ji Heng into it, and also wanted to use Ji Heng to make King Cheng afraid, but she never thought that Ji Heng would speak for herself in front of King Cheng!

This person is used to acting on every occasion, even when dealing with occasional true feelings, it is also a glimpse, the moonlight night has passed, and it is day again, each of them puts on their own disguise.

But at this moment, he actually realized it once.

Grandpa: Launch an attack.

Ari: Wretched development, don't waste time.
