Chapter 30
"What?" Ning Yuezhao and Zuo Ming asked in unison.

"That's right, the murderer just wanted to delay the time when the Dianzang Pavilion was engulfed by the fire." Jiang Nian reiterated it with certainty, and he pointed to the scorched marks on the ground, "You can see that these marks spread to the bookshelves on both sides."

Zuo Ming squatted down, checked carefully, and found that the ashes, which seemed to have no fragrance, extended to the bookshelves on both sides.

Jiang Nian continued to analyze, "If the bookshelves were set on fire from the beginning, do you think Yuyi An can survive until people come to put out the fire?" And he was only slightly injured.

"So, the murderer's purpose is not to kill people, but to destroy the library?" Zuo Ming made a guess.

Jiang Nian shook his head with an inscrutable expression on his face.

Ning Yuezhao frowned slightly, "If you have something to say, just say it!" The most annoying thing is to tease people's appetites or something.

Jiang Nian spread his hands and said helplessly, "I don't know!"

Ning Yuezhao was speechless, Zuo Ming was completely out of breath, and the faces of other people present were also very exciting.

this person...

Ning Yuezhao ordered Zuo Ming with a livid face, "Continue to investigate, who has used rosin these days!"

Zuo Ming bowed, cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Highness."

The Tai Hospital has strict records of the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial doctors and the medicinal materials seized.If you want to set fire, you must use a lot of it.It's just that due to the smoke bombs planted by the murderer, the opportunity for investigation was almost delayed.

"Ahem..." Jiang Nian suddenly coughed a few times, and looked at Ning Yuezhao, "Since this matter has nothing to do with Linzhou, can we let him go?"

Ning Yuezhao glared at him, and reluctantly told Zuo Ming to let him go.

"Yes." After Zuo Ming took the order, he turned to look at Jiang Nian, "Jiang Zhuangyuan is observant and well-informed, Zuo is willing to bow down, and please forgive me for the previous offence."

Jiang Nian waved his hand indifferently, "Commander Zuo is being polite, I have something wrong." After speaking, he patted the ashes on his hands, but found that the ashes were not clean.

Seeing this, Ning Yuezhao couldn't help smiling, and ordered the palace servants to bring clean water for him to wash his hands.

Jiang Nian smiled at her, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your compassion."

Ning Yuezhao said as if nothing had happened: "I just can't bear to see you being so sloppy and unsightly."

After cleaning his hands, Jiang Nian walked to her side with a smile, "Yes, I will pay attention to it in the future, so as not to embarrass Your Highness."

Ning Yuezhao's face turned dry, and she looked away, "I'm a little tired, I'm going back to Jinxiu Palace first, you can do what you want."

"I'll accompany you." Jiang Nian said suddenly.

In the morning meeting, he stood far away and couldn't see her face clearly.Now that they are so close, he can clearly see the tired look on her face and the blue under her eyes.

He had heard all about what happened last night, and it was a lie to say that she was not tasty, but seeing her tired look now, all he could do was feel sorry for her.

Ning Yuezhao waved her hand, "No need, I will go back by car, so I won't bother you." After finishing speaking, she walked out.

Jiang Nian followed her closely, smiling sincerely, "Your Highness, it's my turn to wait at the imperial residence today. I wonder if Your Highness's car can take me for a ride?"

Ning Yuezhao staggered and almost fell.

Jiang Nian quickly helped her up, with a smile in his eyes, "Your Highness, be careful!"

Ning Yuezhao subconsciously wanted to break free, but Jiang Nian held him firmly in his strong arms, but he said with a smile, "Your Highness, I'd better let my servant see you off."

Helpless, compared to thick-skinned, Ning Yuezhao was never Jiang Nian's opponent, so he could only let him board the Zhulun carriage together.

Along the way, the car was bumped and bumped, and Ning Yuezhao, who had not slept all night, fell asleep while shaking.

Jiang Nian sighed silently, and gently embraced her, letting her lean on his shoulder.

The carriage soon arrived at Jinxiu Palace, Yan Mo lifted the curtain, and unexpectedly found that Jiang Nian carefully carried Ning Yuezhao out.

Yan Mo's eyes dimmed slightly, and he lowered his head silently.

Jiang Nianheng hugged Ning Yuezhao and walked towards her bedroom with ease.

After Ning Yuezhao settled down, Jiang Nian ordered the maid to take care of the princess while he went to the study.

The notebooks were already piled up on the table, but Jiang Nian was not in a hurry to tidy them up. He moved a stack of memorials, but was surprised to find that most of his manuscripts were soaked in tea and ruined.

She didn't even have time to order someone to clean it up.

The gentle look on his face slowly disappeared, replaced by indifference.

After exhausting all my efforts and years of hard work, I managed to attract some of her attention.But just a word of news about him can shatter the achievements he has accumulated so hard.

Jiang Nian's fingers gently rubbed the paper. The tea had already dried out, and the paper became dry and wrinkled. The brown tea stains mixed with the melted ink stains blurred the content.

"Master Jiang..."

Qingchi brought tea to the study, but saw Jiang Nian standing in front of the table like an ice sculpture.In her impression, although Jiang Nian was a bit cynical, he was generally a kind and polite young man.

She had never seen Jiang Nian like this before, without any emotion, without sadness or joy, like a desert wasteland, lifeless.

Hearing Qingchi's call, Jiang Nian came back to his senses, and returned to that half-smile look.

Jiang Nian hooked the corners of his mouth, and his tone was a bit joking, "Aunt Qingchi, did you bring tea to me on purpose?"

Qingchi had a mouthful of old blood on his chest, angry and ashamed.She must have been dazzled just now, this guy still deserves a beating!

"Master Jiang, please, use, tea!" Qingchi squeezed out these words from between his teeth with a sullen face.Then he placed the tray heavily on the table, "Your maidservant will leave first!"

After finishing speaking, Qingchi turned his head and left.

Jiang Nian couldn't help smiling as he watched her leaving angrily.

Although I kept telling myself to be calm, I couldn't help losing my composure just now,

"That's all." Jiang Nian shook his head and said to himself, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with you, you just don't like me."

After comforting himself, Jiang Nian sat down in front of the table, grinded it by himself, picked up the Yuguan Langhao pen, and rewrote the damaged content from memory.

Ning Yuezhao slept very deeply this time, but when she woke up leisurely, Qingchi was guarding outside the curtain.

"Why am I here?" Ning Yuezhao sat up, still a little confused.She clearly remembered that she came back to review papers in a Zhulun carriage, so why did she wake up in the bedroom at this moment.

Qingchi rolled up the curtain and fixed it with golden hooks, his tone still filled with anger, "Your Highness, you fell asleep in the car, and it was Jiang Zhuangyuan who carried you back to the bedroom."

Ning Yuezhao raised her head to look at her, but saw her look of indignation, and couldn't help but joked: "What's the matter? Who messed with our Aunt Qingchi?"

Qingchi was already on fire, but now Ning Yuezhao accidentally added a handful of firewood. She said frantically, "Your Highness, why do you still call me aunt? Am I that old?"

"Also?" Ning Yuezhao got out of bed, looked her up and said, "Who else calls you that?"

Qingchi pouted and remained silent.

Ning Yuezhao thought about the way she gritted her teeth when she mentioned Jiang Nian just now, combined with something that happened a while ago, she suddenly understood, "Is it Jiang Nian?"

Qingchi snorted and said: "It's him, Your Highness and he are really a husband and wife, and they made fun of me by coincidence."

Husband and wife are of the same heart... Thinking of someone in Tai Hospital, Ning Yuezhao's heart seemed to be pricked by a needle.She laughed dumbly: "Where is he now?"

Qingchi pouted, "In the study."

Today is when he enters the palace, presumably he is sorting out the notebooks in the study.

Ning Yuezhao glanced out the window, it was almost dusk, she said: "Groom me up, I'll help you teach him a lesson!"

Qingchi opened his eyes wide, and said happily: "Yes!"

When Ning Yuezhao brought Qingchi to the study, Jiang Nian was busy writing.

Qingchi deliberately raised the volume and said: "The princess is here!"

Jiang Nian stopped writing, looked up at the person who came, and couldn't help but smile.

He put down his pen and came out from behind the table, bowed and said, "My minister sees the princess."

Ning Yuezhao raised her hand to support her, "You don't need to be too polite, let's get flat."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Ning Yuezhao walked to the desk, picked up what Jiang Nian had written, and was stunned.

Qingchi was expecting the princess to find some trouble to clean up Jiang Nian, but now he saw that the princess was motionless as if she had been immobilized.She leaned forward in confusion, wanting to see what was written on the paper.

Unexpectedly, before she saw the words on the paper, Ning Yuezhao pressed the paper back to its original place and ordered: "Qingchi, you go and order the imperial dining room to prepare some food and send it to the study room. Tonight, I will deal with government affairs with Jiang Zhuangyuan." It will be late."

Qingchi is really about to spit out a mouthful of old blood this time, how about venting his anger for her?She looked at the princess sadly, but the princess didn't seem to see it.

Well, she is a powerless little female official, no match for the two of you, husband and wife, she can only knock out her teeth and swallow her blood.

Qingchi, who didn't know the reason, said extremely resentfully: "Yes."

The corners of Jiang Nian's lips twitched slightly, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

After Qingchi left, Ning Yuezhao said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I... didn't keep the manuscript well last night."

Jiang Nian shook his head, "It's okay."

Ning Yuezhao's eyes fell on Jiang Nian's face, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell through the window lattice and fell on his handsome face, as if it had passed through a layer of gold.He smiled frankly, and it didn't seem like a fake at all, which increased her sense of guilt.

Jiang Nian picked up the pile of manuscripts, sat on another smaller desk, and said generously: "I have already sorted out the notebooks, you can read them first. I will take these manuscripts back and rewrite them, and I will give them to you in a few days. "

Ning Yuezhao lowered her eyes and said softly, "Why?"

Jiang Nian looked back at her with clear eyes, "Why why?"

Ning Yuezhao met his gaze and spoke clearly, "Why, are you so kind to me?"

She is not blind, not deaf, and she is not hard-hearted, how can she not see Jiang Nian's kindness to her.

This kind of kindness has already surpassed the dedication of a courtier to the king, and it is not the nominal friendship between them as agreed between them.

Looking at his good-looking side face, she vaguely had some guesses in her heart, but she was afraid that her guess would be right, and she couldn't bear his feelings.
