cabinet first lady

Chapter 61
Just like what Zhang Anyi said, let the past things pass by, and he just pretends that nothing happened.

After that night, Zhang Anyi treated Ruan Muyang as tenderly as before, even better, but he never let Ruan Muyang leave the house.

Although Ruan Muyang was anxious, there was nothing he could do.She felt Zhang Anyi's tenderness, and her heart could no longer be as stable as before.Every night Zhang Anyi came back, she still looked demure and obedient, but when he was away, she was expressionless most of the time.

She knew he was still guarding her.

The Zhang family is spreading rumors that the Second Young Madam has annoyed the Second Master, and she is not as favored as usual.

The matter also reached the old lady, so the old lady specially called Ruan Muyang over.

"Muyang, did something happen between you and Anyi?" Among the four grandsons of the old Shangshu and the old lady, only Zhang Anyi was the least worrying, and also the most worry-free.

Ruan Muyang smiled and said: "Grandmother heard the rumors in the mansion? It's nothing. These days, the second master sits in the cabinet and handles the government affairs. He's just busy."

"Really?" The old lady looked at Ruan Muyang, and she knew it in her heart, but she said calmly: "It's good to have nothing to do. Young couples, it's not always smooth sailing, bumps and bumps are normal, and they will pass." Even if Ruan Muyang Mu Yang tried his best to cover it up, but the old lady still saw something abnormal.

The old lady is the one who came here.

They have always respected each other as guests since they got married, and it seems that they have never had conflicts, which is enviable, but this is not good in the eyes of the old lady.

Because it's too good to be true.

There will always be some running-in, some setbacks, and you will know how to cherish it later.

Ruan Muyang was taught: "Thank you grandma for reminding me. Grandma Lao is worried, and I hope grandpa and grandma take good care of themselves."

But, where is the ordinary stumbling between her and Zhang Anyi?

Leaving from the old lady, the faint smile on Ruan Muyang's face disappeared.It was the depth of spring, and even though the bright sunshine was shining on her body, it seemed unable to dispel the gloom in her heart.

She asked Diancui: "Hanshi still hasn't found a chance to go out?"

Dian Cui shook her head.

Her people can't get out, and outside news can't get in.

Knowing that the outside world is changing rapidly, has the Holy Majesty issued an order to deal with Luo Jie?Yongan Wang Xie Zhao received the letter, did he fall into a trap and go to Beijing?
But Ruan Muyang's time in Zhang's mansion seemed to stand still, nothing changed.

She doubted that if one day Zhang Anyi stopped restricting her like this, she would find that Emperor Ling had abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, and Prince Xie Shen had succeeded to the throne when she went out.

For the current plan, if he wants to go out, he can only hope that the queen empress will suddenly think of her and announce her into the palace.

Two days later, people really came from the palace.

The palace servants ordered Ruan Muyang to enter the palace the next day according to the queen's order.

"Thank you father-in-law."

Ruan Muyang didn't need to mention this matter, Zhang Anyi knew about it when he came back.

"The empress called his wife into the palace?"

Ruan Muyang held his breath, and waited until Zhang Anyi mentioned this matter first.She nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhang Anyi looked at Ruan Muyang, with a layer of gentleness floating in his eyes, and there was a deepness in the depths of his eyes. "The empress seems to have hit it off with the madam?"

Knowing that his eyes were on him, Ruan Muyang's heart skipped a beat when he heard his words that seemed to have some deep meaning and seemed to be a random question.Judging from what Zhang Anyi said that night, he still doesn't know his relationship with the queen.She sank her heart and replied: "Because of the second master, the Empress has a certain degree of wooing me, so she often announces me to the palace to speak."

Zhang Anyi covered Ruan Muyang's cold hand, wrapped it in his palm, and said in a warm voice: "For Madam's safety, I will send someone to escort Madam on the road tomorrow."

Naturally, he would not disobey Queen Qiu's decree.

"Thank you, Second Master."

Ruan Muyang knew that he sent people not only to protect her, but also to monitor her.

On the second day, under the escort of Mo Jian, Ruan Muyang finally left the gate of Zhang Mansion.

Along the way, she and Fang Lan were always sitting in the carriage, and had no contact with the outside world at all.

Ruan Muyang didn't get out of the car until he reached the gate of the palace.

There are already palace people waiting.

"Madam be careful, the second master ordered his subordinates to wait here for Madam to leave the palace." Mo Jian said.

Ruan Muyang nodded.

All of a sudden from the Zhang Mansion to the Imperial Palace, looking at the towering red walls all around, Ruan Muyang felt as if he had entered another prison.

While walking, Ruan Muyang suddenly stopped.

The palace man in front turned around and asked with a polite smile, "Madam Zhang, what's the matter?"

Ruan Muyang looked around and asked, "Eunuch, who summoned me to enter the palace this time?"

"Of course it's the empress."

Ruan Muyang frowned, looked at the palace guards vigilantly and said, "But this is not the way to Ganquan Palace."

The palace attendant explained with a smile: "Mrs. Zhang, it was really the queen who summoned you. Take a closer look at the slave. Did you see the slave in Ganquan Palace?"

Ruan Muyang carefully sized up the palace servants and found that they looked familiar.

But why didn't this go to Ganquan Palace?

"It's fine for Mrs. Zhang to follow the servant, please rest assured."

Ruan Muyang looked around again, and found that apart from the two of them, there was almost no one else to be seen, and then looked at the direction the palace man pointed, which was a bit out of the way.

If you want to harm her, you can do it now.

Seeing that the palace servants didn't seem to have changed anything, she calmed down and said, "Then there is Mrs. Lao, let's go."

The palace man brought Ruan Muyang outside a deserted palace and stopped, saying: "Madam Zhang please go in by herself."

Ruan Muyang looked at him with a frown, and walked in by himself.

Unexpectedly, it was Yin Ji who was waiting for her inside.

"It's you? Where's the empress?" Ruan Muyang asked in surprise.

Yin Ji had been waiting here for a long time, and when he heard Ruan Muyang's voice, he turned around, smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhang, the empress has something to do recently, so I sent an official to see you."

He doesn't have the ability to falsely pass on the queen's edict, it's probably true.Ruan Muyang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "I don't know what the Empress is busy with?"

Yin Ji curled his lips and did not answer, but approached her and said, "Recently, I sent someone to contact Hanshi, but found that I couldn't reach him, and Zhang's residence is heavily guarded, but what happened?"

Intuition told Ruan Muyang that if he told the truth, Yin Ji would be very proud and gloat.So she said: "Recently, Han Shi was sent by me to do other things."

"Really?" Yin Ji raised his eyebrows, and just stopped at a distance that Ruan Muyang could accept.

As long as he takes another step forward, Ruan Muyang will back away with a cold face.

He seemed to have found her bottom line, wandering above her bottom line.

"King Yong'an is already on his way to Beijing, and he will arrive in a few days. What is Mrs. Zhang going to do next?" Yin Ji asked.

Ruan Muyang blurted out and asked, "Has Xie Zhao entered Beijing?"

Sure enough, Xie Zhao was fooled!
At this time, Yin Ji suddenly chuckled and disturbed her.

His laugh was extremely frivolous and aggressive, which made Ruan Muyang frown.

"Sure enough, Mrs. Zhang doesn't know about King Yong'an's visit to the capital." With a smile in his eyes, Yin Ji's gaze fell on her face unabashedly, and he said in a clear tone, "The news of King Yong'an's visit to Beijing has spread all over the world." After arriving in the capital, the well-informed Mrs. Zhang didn't know about it. From this, it can be seen that Mrs. Zhang has been restricted by Mr. Zhang these days. But what did Mr. Zhang find?"

Under his smile, Ruan Muyang's expression gradually turned cold. "Don't bother Mr. Yin."

She was extremely unwilling to let others, especially Yin Ji, see the gap between herself and Zhang Anyi.

But he knew from the beginning of Shen Wei's matter, that she had kept many things from Zhang Anyi.

Ruan Muyang's cold look made Yin Ji touch his nose in embarrassment.Just caring about her, is it the same as wanting to eat people?

If it were someone else, he would have been angry a long time ago, but if it were her, he would not be able to get angry, as if he was used to being treated like this.

"It's not a good thing that Mrs. Zhang's freedom is restricted at such a critical juncture. King Yong'an is about to enter the capital, and the officials don't know how Mrs. Zhang tricked him into the capital. If he knows, he can make arrangements for him." things that come down."

Ruan Muyang looked at him vigilantly, not wanting to be told by him. "King Yong'an will probably stay in the capital for a while, so let's look for another chance when the time comes, and don't be in a hurry."

"No." Yin Ji, who was smiling frivolously, slowly put away his smile and turned serious, "The situation is urgent."

Ruan Muyang noticed something strange, he raised his heart and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yin Ji took a quick step forward, stepping into Ruan Muyang's bottom line.She subconsciously wanted to back away, but he grabbed her arm.

Just when Ruan Muyang was about to explode, Yin Ji leaned down and whispered in her ear: "Early yesterday morning, the Holy Majesty passed away."

Ruan Muyang raised his head in surprise, forgot all his movements, and said in disbelief: "How is it possible?" Nothing unusual happened to her on the way into the palace.How could it be possible that such a big event as the death of the Holy Majesty didn't happen at all, and the palace people didn't react at all?

But Yin Ji's tone didn't sound like he was joking.

"Early yesterday morning, the Holy One woke up and suddenly coughed up blood, and he lost his breath after a while."

Suddenly died.

Ruan Muyang's heart was shaken.

Xie Zhao will be going to the capital in a few days, and Luo Jie has not had time to deal with it. It is not a good thing for the Holy Majesty to die suddenly at this time.

Yin Ji went on to say: "The queen immediately blocked the news, controlled all the palace officials who knew about the death of the emperor, and personally sat in the palace of the emperor. It's just that the news of the death of the emperor will not be kept for a long time, and Luo Jie must be dealt with before then. Only deal with King Yongan."

In other words, every decree issued by the Holy Majesty is actually the meaning of Queen Qiu!
Ruan Muyang's heart beat faster and faster following Yin Ji's voice.Judging from the fact that Zhang Anyi was in the same state as usual in the past few days, even he didn't know about it.

I didn't expect that such a gentle woman like Queen Qiu would be so courageous and scheming.

In this way, Xie Zhao had to get rid of him as soon as possible, otherwise if he knew about Lingdi's death, there might be a change.Both she and Han Shi were restrained by Zhang Anyi, there was no way to send someone to deal with Xie Zhao, and she had to rely on the help of others.

but--

Ruan Muyang looked up at Yin Ji, hesitating in his heart.

The stakes were high at this point, and she wondered if she could trust him.

Sensing Ruan Muyang's gaze, Yin Ji met her eyes, as if guessing what she was hesitating, took a step back solemnly, looked at her seriously, and said, "Mrs. Zhang, you can choose to trust me .”

Ruan Muyang would choose to believe him in some ordinary things, but the matter is of great importance. If the things of that year were spread, Zhang Anyi would be harmed, so she had to be cautious.She looked at Yin Ji, constantly discerning and weighing in her heart, looked into his eyes and asked tentatively: "Ordinary things must not deceive King Yong'an to the capital, the reason why I didn't tell the empress the way this time , because the method I used to lure King Yongan to the capital was very rebellious."

Yin Ji waited for her to continue.Ruan Muyang refused to say, he naturally knew it was not an ordinary way.

Ruan Muyang's gaze became more aggressive: "Between me and the queen, if Lord Yin had to choose one, where would Lord Yin stand?"

"Mrs. Zhang, do you want the officials to help you lie to the queen?" Yin Ji looked into her eyes and asked very seriously.

Ruan Muyang nodded: "The queen will not tolerate me if she knows it. If there is no other way, I will not drag you into the water easily."

The abandoned palace is particularly depressed, even in spring, there is no grass growing.

The death knell in the palace has not yet sounded, but the place is already full of chills.

Because the matter discussed was confidential, Yin Ji and Ruan Muyang still stood very close.You can smell the faint fragrance of her body in your nose, just like back then.Yin Ji laughed suddenly, his raised eyes looked frivolous, if he hadn't been dressed in official clothes, he would have looked like a son of a rich family.

"Would you believe me if I said I would stand by your side?"

"Trust." Ruan Muyang replied without hesitation.

Yin Ji chuckled, complaining in his heart how cold-hearted this woman is.She caught his weakness of liking her, and it is very dangerous to be caught by someone's weakness, but when he heard her say "believe", he was only happy, his heart softened like a spring breeze Same.

Feeling his pride, like a fox, if it really has a tail, it can fly up to the sky.Mu Yang glared at him, and reminded: "Don't get me wrong."

Yin Ji's respectful posture was a bit exaggerated: "Mrs. Zhang, I didn't misunderstand anything. Now Mrs. Zhang is willing to say it? I should arrange it earlier."

Ruan Muyang took a deep breath, took a step closer to him, and said in a low voice: "In the name of Xu Hou's old department, I sent a message to Xie Zhao, saying that the last edict written by the late emperor was actually his. The name was later changed by Luo Jie. The real edict was hidden."

Because of the shock, the smile on Yin Ji's face slowly disappeared, and his eyes were full of excitement.

After Ruan Muyang finished speaking, he stood up straight and looked at her again, as if seeing her for the first time.

"Could it be that Luo Jie forged the late emperor's edict?"

Ruan Muyang's heart skipped a beat, but his face was completely calm and he said: "Of course it's fake. Although King Yong'an was highly appreciated by the late emperor at that time, the late emperor never mentioned abolishing the crown prince, probably because of empress Xiaojing's sake. Crown prince Inheriting the throne is justified, if the former emperor really had the idea of ​​passing on the throne of King Yong'an, why didn't he change the crown prince?"

Yin Ji looked at Ruan Muyang's expression, trying to see the truth from it, but he couldn't see anything.

"King Yong'an always misses the throne, so this method can only be used to lure him into Beijing." Ruan Muyang said, "This method will make the queen suspicious, lest such a thing really happen, it will be bad for me. Of course I dare not tell the empress."

What Ruan Muyang said was not without reason.But even if it was just a trick, it was enough to shock Yin Ji's heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. "Your courage is really—too great. What kind of hatred does King Yong'an have against you?"

Ruan Muyang was always paying attention to Yin Ji's expression. Seeing that he believed him, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "You don't have to worry about any deep hatred. Anyway, I can only feel at ease when he dies."

Yin Ji nodded and agreed, "Well, we are at ease when King Yong'an is dead."

Ruan Muyang gave Ruan Muyang a cold look in return for his indecent appearance.

He smiled shyly and said, "Since Mrs. Zhang trusts me so much, I'll leave the rest of the matter to me. The matter of the Majesty's death won't be hidden for long, and everything will be settled soon." As he spoke, Yin Ji looked into the distance, looking at the heavy palace.

Ruan Muyang followed his gaze and looked over.

They are all involved in this extremely thrilling battle, and who will win in the end will soon be announced with the sound of the death knell of the imperial city, and the palace will finally usher in a new master.

Ruan Muyang and Yin Ji separated, both of them digested the extremely shocking news in a short period of time, settled it down, and remained calm.

When he went back, Ruan Muyang was still led by the previous palace man.

The expressions of the palace people were as usual, and the maids they met on the road even secretly joked and laughed. They didn't know that the high-ranking emperor who ruled Guanghua Jiangshan was now a cold corpse in the bedroom.

Emperor Ling's life ended in the fourth year of Pingle.

It was not easy for him to get the throne, but he only reigned for four short years.

Ruan Muyang's heart was heavy, and she couldn't express the boredom, but it was not because of Emperor Ling's death, but because of some other things that she couldn't say.

"Madam, please get into the carriage."

Hearing Mojian's voice, Ruan Muyang cheered up, nodded and said, "Go back."

Following the sound of the carriage wheels rolling across the ground, Ruan Muyang left the palace.

After sending Ruan Muyang back to the mansion, Mo Jian went to the Ministry of Officials.

Today Zhang Anyi is in the Ministry of Officials.

"Madam has gone back? Is there anything unusual today?"

Mo Jian shook his head and said: "Back to Second Master, Madam only brought enamel today, and she was in the carriage on the way back and forth, nothing unusual."

"Okay, you go down."

On the second day after Ruan Muyang and Yin Ji talked in the palace, Emperor Ling, who was recovering from illness in the bedroom, issued an imperial decree—it was verified that what Jiang Hanyun said was true. The heinous crime of rank was extremely heinous, and he was asked to be executed immediately, thinking that he was the elder of the two dynasties, and changed the nine clans to punish the three clans.Jiang Hanyun personally inspected the Luo Mansion.

The imperial decree to deal with Luo Jie has finally come down, which is very satisfying.

The court and the people thought that the Holy Majesty would be hesitant again and let Luo Jie go, but they didn't want to be extra firm this time and make people applaud!
When the news reached the Luo Mansion, there were wailing and weeping throughout the Luo Mansion.Luo Jie himself even turned pale, and shouted: "Impossible! This can't be the Holy Majesty's decision! This old man wants to see the Holy Majesty!"

The reason why he has been calm and relaxed is because he is sure that Emperor Ling would not dare to deal with him because of the will.

Listening to Luo Jie's voice, and seeing the desperate expressions on the faces of her relatives, Luo Yu sat on the ground dejectedly.

It has been several days since she returned to the Luo Mansion, everyone in the Luo Mansion regarded her as a sinner, calling her worse than a dog, and a dog knows how to be loyal.Even some bold servants dared to spit at her.

Luo Yu couldn't refute these, and didn't care anymore.

Anyway, she came back with the determination to die with Luo Mansion, and she was about to die, so would she care about this?

"You eat inside and out!"

Suddenly, Luo Yu's father slapped her down.This slap was so powerful that Luo Yu's mouth was bleeding.

Apart from venting at the moment, they don't know what to do, let alone think about it, even if there is no Luo Yu to testify, Luo Mansion will end up like this sooner or later.

Luo Yu was already numb and didn't know it was in pain.

The slap of Luo Yu's father aroused the hostility of other people in the Luo Mansion. They looked at Luo Yu fiercely, thinking that everything was her fault.

"It's all her!"

"It's all this bitch!"

Just when everyone was about to go up and slap her one by one, wishing to beat her to death, people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate came.

"Arrest everyone here and put them in the Ministry of Punishment."

Hearing a familiar voice, Luo Yu raised his head.

Sure enough, it was him.Wearing a neat official uniform, he returned to his usual handsome appearance, the same as what she saw behind the screen when he first came to Luo Mansion.

How did you expect it to end up like this?
Luo Yu looked away dejectedly.Relatives were struggling and shouting, but she sat motionless on the ground.

Jiang Hanyun saw Luo Yu falling on the ground in the chaotic Luo Mansion at a glance.The palm prints on her face were shocking.

When he knew that she was testifying against Luo Jie in the court hall, he felt very complicated.He felt that although she was the daughter of a treacherous minister, she was different from Luo Jie, but at that time the divorce letter had been written and she had already left.He only thought that they had no fate, and he was afraid that he would regret it, so he didn't dare to inquire about her whereabouts.

"Master Jiang, there are a total of 72 people in the Luo Mansion plus the servants, and all of them have been arrested."

Jiang Hanyun nodded: "Send them all to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"No, there's me, why didn't you arrest me?" Luo Yu, who had been sitting on the ground without saying a word, raised her head and looked at Jiang Hanyun.

Jiang Hanyun averted his eyes and said: "You paid off your merits, the Holy Majesty promised to pardon you before."

"How can you forgive me?" Luo Yu's emotions became agitated.She stood up, walked towards Jiang Hanyun with red eyes and said, "I am from the Luo family, the granddaughter of Luo Jie, how can you forgive me?"

Looking at the hope and light in her eyes, Jiang Hanyun finally understood that Luo Yu was begging for death.

"Take them away first." After giving the order, Jiang Hanyun looked at Luo Yu and said, "Luo Yu, you are different from them." In fact, he personally asked for Luo Yu's pardon.

Luo Yu looked at him with red eyes, and asked: "Different? How am I different? My surname is Luo like theirs, and the blood on my body is the same. I don't need a pardon. Jiang Hanyun, will you arrest me or not? "She has never been loved by him, and now even her relatives are gone, how can she live alone in this world?

Even living in this world is torture.

It's better to die together. After death, you don't have to worry about anything, and you don't have to feel uncomfortable.

Since marrying into the Jiang family, Luo Yu has always acted obediently, flattering him and his mother, and rarely being so strong.At this moment, Jiang Hanyun didn't dare to meet her eyes anymore. "Luo Yu, I won't arrest you, you can live well."

Don't you even give her the chance to die with her relatives?

Luo Yu was extremely desperate in her heart, she just felt that there was nothing there, and there were obviously people all around, and there was nothing there.A flash of determination flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Since you don't want to catch me, I'm dead now, rather than being tortured alive!" As she spoke, she drew the knife from the person next to her, and slashed at herself without hesitation. neck.

She really has nothing left to miss.

Death was a relief to her.

be happy.

The moment Jiang Hanyun saw her draw out the knife, his heart seemed to be tortured by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and his heart was hung high by the thorny rope. "Stop her!" He blurted out without thinking.

Fortunately, the people around her had sharp eyesight and quick hands, knocking off her knife when the knife edge touched her neck.

The neck touched the cold blade, and there was a tingling pain, but Luo Yu's heart was more relaxed than ever, but who knew that the knife would fall off in the next moment.

After a moment of stupefaction, tears welled up in his eyes. He couldn't die, and living was suffering. Luo Yu suddenly knelt down in front of Jiang Hanyun, crying and begging: "Jiang Hanyun, can I beg you? Let me Die." The second young lady of her Luo Mansion is the granddaughter of Luo Jie, who was raised in the palm of her hand since she was a child, how honorable is she?How proud?

Even in difficult times, she has never humbled herself like this before, but now she is lowered into the dust, just to die.

How easy did she think it was to die?

It is only now that I realize that it is too difficult to want to die.

When Luo Yu knelt down, the sound of his knee touching the ground seemed to hit Jiang Hanyun's heart, which made his heart hurt more and more.Luo Yu's begging voice rang in his ears, like a spell, making him breathless.

The next moment, the desperate begging suddenly disappeared.

Luo Yu fell at his feet.

"Luo Yu!" Seeing her fall, Jiang Hanyun finally obeyed his heart and bent down to hug Luo Yu.

After hugging him, he realized that she had lost too much weight, and her whole body seemed to have only bones left.Even his face was frighteningly white.

He didn't have time to take care of anything, he carried Luo Yu in his arms and went straight to Jiangfu.

After Luo Jie was imprisoned in the death row of the Ministry of Punishment, he bluntly said that he wanted to see the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

After all, he was the chief assistant who once dominated the government and the public. The jailer was afraid that if Luo Jie didn't die this time, he would end badly if he offended him, so he reported it to him.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment had the same thoughts as the jailer. Hearing that Luo Jie insisted on seeing him, he came to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment himself.

"What orders does Master Luo have?" Although Luo Jie is now a prisoner, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is still very respectful.

"The old man wants to see the emperor." Luo Jie said, "When I see the emperor, the old man can guarantee that the emperor will not kill me, and the benefits of my lord will be indispensable."

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice laughed and said: "Lord Luo, it's not that the lower officials are unwilling to help. If you have any other requests, the lower officials can try their best to meet them, but it's really impossible to see the emperor. The emperor is still recovering from illness. Previously, the emperor personally issued a decree, before the illness is cured, any ministers in the court are not allowed to go near the sleeping hall, and those who violate it will be beheaded. This lower official can't bear it."

Luo Jie was extremely angry: "It's really because of this that this matter is strange. It is definitely not the emperor's will to behead the old man, and the old man wants to see the emperor!"

It has to be said that Luo Jie, who has been an official for 40 years, is indeed old and sensitive in some aspects, and he immediately discovered the clues.

However, at this moment, he is already a prisoner in the Ministry of Criminal Justice's death row.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice only regarded him as the last struggle, and persuaded him earnestly: "My lord, the next official is also thinking about your life. If you go to see the emperor without a will, you will be beheaded."

"you--"

Luo Jie slammed on the cell door angrily.

Zhang Mansion, Chuanyun Courtyard.

It was rare that Zhang Anyi came back from the palace to bring news to Ruan Muyang.

The emperor issued a decree to kill Luojie, punish the three clans, and ransack the family.

Ruan Muyang was surprised when he heard it.Because she knew that this imperial decree was made by Queen Qiu.

Her heart was beating fast, and she tried hard to keep her expression on her face.

Zhang Anyi didn't seem to have any doubts about her reaction. After all, Luo Jie, an important minister who once covered the sky with one hand, was finally beheaded by the decree, which really shocked the government and the public. "Also, there is one more thing."

"What else?" Ruan Muyang was a little puzzled.Zhang Anyi revealed too much to her tonight.

"The Holy Majesty is in poor health. King Yong'an is visiting the capital, and he will be there tomorrow." Zhang Anyi said while looking at Ruan Muyang's expression.

Facing Zhang Anyi's gaze, Ruan Muyang's heart sank slightly.She knew that he was suspecting that Xie Zhao's going to Beijing had something to do with her.

After all, he knew that Hanshi had sent people to Xizhou not long ago.

Since he didn't ask directly, she didn't say anything. She smiled and said, "Really? I didn't expect that King Yong'an would choose to enter Beijing at this time."

If it is agreed not to mention the past, then it is tacit understanding.

But after finishing speaking, Ruan Muyang heard Zhang Anyi sigh softly.Then her heart ached a bit.

At this moment, Mo Wen's voice came from outside the door: "Second Master, Mr. Shen is here."

"Okay, let her go to the study and wait for me."

Oh, by the way, there is Shen Wei beside him.

Ruan Muyang lowered his eyes, except for some bitterness in his eyes, his expression was natural.

Even in this way, when nothing happened, can they go back to the past?
No, even in the past, there was always an inexplicable gap between them.

He treats her too well to be real, and she prevents him from being completely genuine.

Xie Zhao finally entered Beijing again.

The vassal king is not allowed to bring troops when he enters the capital. This time, he still left his own soldiers outside Shandong just like the last time.But he had already sent a team of people disguised to sneak into the capital first.

Emperor Ling had issued an order that no one should come near the palace without permission, so he wrote a note, and then stayed at the post house with peace of mind.

This time, he was seeking wealth and wealth, so he was extra careful not to take a step in the posthouse after entering the capital.

He was so rampant in Xizhou, and even threatened to eliminate traitors for the Holy One, but he kept the rules in the capital, which was unexpected by many ministers.

On the night Xie Zhao entered the capital, he secretly summoned his men to search for Xu Hou's old department.

In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Who!"

It was Zhang Anyi in black who pushed the door open. "I didn't expect the prince to stay up so late."

Xie Zhao was vigilant in his heart, but there was a handsome smile on his face: "So it's Mr. Zhang." He didn't forget the cooperative relationship between them.

After Zhang Anyi turned around and closed the door, he sat down at the table, looked at Xie Zhao and said, "Why did your lord suddenly come to Beijing this time?"

Now Luo Jie is basically unable to stand up, the common enemy is about to disappear, and their temporary alliance is about to collapse.

Enemy, still enemy.

The swords that were facing Luo Jie together had secretly started facing each other.

Xie Zhao was murderous towards Zhang Anyi, so naturally Zhang Anyi was too.

"This king came here this time, of course because he cares about the emperor's body." Even though he was already planning how to get rid of Zhang Anyi in his heart, Xie Zhao still had a smile on his face.

The late emperor's edict was written by Zhang Anyi, so it is natural that he was responsible for the revision of the edict.

He must kill him.

Before that, he will be careful everywhere.Emperor Ling didn't have an excuse to move him, as long as he was careful and didn't leave excuses for others.

Zhang Anyi was not angry, and replied with a gentler smile, and said: "At the same time, the prince should pay more attention to his comfort, and be careful not to lose his life in the capital."

Xie Zhao's smile suddenly turned cold, and a cold gleam flashed in his eyes: "Master Zhang must also be careful, don't let anything fall into this king's hands, and this king will not be lenient at that time."

"Naturally." Zhang Anyi picked up the teacup and took a sip, his movements graceful.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang for being promoted to the chief assistant of the cabinet."

Zhang Anyi reminded with a smile: "There is also a future auxiliary minister." This is tantamount to poking Xie Zhao's sore spot.

Afterwards, he seemed to think of something, paid attention to Xie Zhao's expression and said, "By the way, Xiaguan's wife asked Xiaguan to greet the prince on her behalf."

When Ruan Muyang was mentioned suddenly, Xie Zhao was a little puzzled. He couldn't figure out what Zhang Anyi was planning, and his eyes subconsciously flashed vigilance.By virtue of this, he made a nasty smile and said: "Master Zhang, you have to be careful. It's okay if you lose. Don't lose your wife and lose the army. The appearance of the four cousins ​​of this king is particularly outstanding, which made this king lose money in Xizhou all these years." Never forget it."

The obsession is real.To him, she is like the bright moon above the head of a person living in the abyss.

Although I like it a little bit, I can't go there. Looking at the hatred, I want to pick it off and insult it with my own hands, and then destroy it.

After finishing speaking, Xie Zhao looked proudly at Zhang Anyi's no longer gentleness, and a look of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"I'm afraid that the prince will not be able to fulfill his wish in this life, only jealousy."

The moment Zhang Anyi stepped out of the room, the smiles on his and Xie Zhao's faces fell at the same time, leaving only a naked murderous intent.

This time Zhang Anyi just came to find out about Xie Zhao's reality.Xie Zhao's confident appearance, and the doubt and vigilance that flashed in his eyes when he heard Ruan Muyang made him thoughtful.

After leaving the post house, he asked Mo Wen behind him, "Has the person Xie Zhao met tonight followed?"

Mo Wen nodded: "Go back to Second Master, follow."

"Report to me where they went and who they met. Everything is fine."

"Yes."

Jiangfu.

Because she ran around for Jiang Hanyun before, and was treated coldly after she returned to Luo Mansion after being suspended, she couldn't sleep because she couldn't eat well, and her mood fluctuated greatly, Luo Yu's body was very weak, and she fell into a coma for a whole day and night.

Finally regaining consciousness, she slowly opened her eyes.

After a moment of trance, she sat up suddenly.

How is the Luo family?What happened to her grandfather?
"Young Madam, you are awake!"

Luo Yu came back to her senses and found out that she was Jiangfu's mother-in-law. Only then did she realize that she was in Jiangfu.

She was brought back by Jiang Hanyun.

"Don't call me Young Madam, I am no longer Young Madam." Luo Yu hastily lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but found that she was so weak that she almost fell down.

The mother-in-law persuaded from the side: "Young madam, your body is so weak now, it is not suitable for you to walk around, young madam, where are you going?"

Luo Yu insisted on getting out of bed, but she didn't even have the strength to push her away.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

It was Jiang Hanyun who walked in.

He sat down by the bed, pressed her shoulders and said, "The doctor said you can't move around now, you need to rest for a while."

Seeming to see what Luo Yu was worried about, he added: "Don't worry, you just fell into a coma for a day and a night, and your grandfather and relatives are still in prison."

Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief.She was afraid that she would wake up and find that all her relatives were gone.

After calming down, she looked at Jiang Hanyun with complicated eyes: "What are you saving me for? I've already got my divorce certificate, and we have nothing to do with each other anymore."

"I just want you to survive, Luo Yu, don't do this." Jiang Hanyun said.

survive?
If all her relatives were dead, how could she survive with peace of mind?
Luo Yu sneered in her heart, then nodded, and said lifelessly, "Okay, I will survive. Let me go."

She doesn't hate him, she just hates herself.

Complicated emotions flashed in Jiang Hanyun's eyes, and with rare patience, he persuaded gently: "In a few days, I will let you go when you feel better in a few days, after all—a husband and wife for a day, a hundred days of kindness."

Husband and wife for a day, a hundred days of grace?

Once upon a time, she was the one who treated him with such a gentle voice.

Luo Yu felt ridiculed and sad at the same time.

What does he mean to her like this now?feel guilty

Knowing what Jiang Hanyun decided to do, he would definitely do it, and if he said that he would not let her go now, he would not let her go, Luo Yu felt powerless.No matter when, she can't compete with him, and the one who compromises is always her.

Why is she always so passive when she is with him?

Luo Yu's nose was sore, she held back the tears that rushed into her eyes, nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll wait until I feel better before leaving. But I have nothing to do with you anymore, don't call me Young Madam anymore, call me Mrs. I am Miss Luo Er."

Now every time she hears "Second Miss Luo", it's like a needle is being pricked in her heart.

"Okay." Jiang Hanyun frowned, the emotion in his eyes was unclear.
