The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

"The life of the princess is worth a mere thousand taels of silver?" Jiang Ruan said lightly, "Don't you think it's a pity?"

"What does the princess mean?" Li Qiang narrowed his eyes.

"Five thousand taels, I will buy this business." Jiang Ruan said.

Li Qiang was startled, and the people behind him were also startled, thinking that the rumors were true, this Jiang Ruan was so generous, he must have obtained many good things from the Empress Dowager Yide on weekdays. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved. Li Qiang only owed a whole lot of debts a few days ago, and finally won the business of Second Aunt Niang. Although he knew it was dangerous, he also knew that repaying the debts would be a dead end. Now that Jiang Ruan opened his mouth to say five thousand taels, why didn't Li Qiang have his own thoughts in his heart. His expression moved, as if he was about to change his words, but a big man next to him suddenly coughed softly.

This sound woke Li Qiang up suddenly, he looked at Jiang Ruan angrily, smiled fiercely and said: "The princess is really smart, but I am not a greedy person, I really dare not do this business of the princess."

If it's an ordinary person, it's okay to turn around like this, anyway, Li Qiang doesn't have any feelings for the second aunt, this little aunt. It's just that Jiang Ruan, as the lord of Hong'an County, would not have dared to act rashly against Jiang Ruan if he hadn't been short of money this time. What if Jiang Ruan finds him to settle accounts after the incident, the royal family will definitely not spare him. For such a thing, the mouth of the dead is the safest.

Li Qiang clapped his hands, walked forward slowly, and said, "Tonight, I'm afraid I'm going to offend the princess." He stuck the torch in his hand for lighting into the mouth of a stone beast on one side of the wall. Under the light of the fire, Jiang Ruan sat quietly in the prison, her skirt was as hot as fire, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite and charming, but there was a kind of mocking indifference.

Li Qiang swallowed his saliva, he knew how charming this princess was born, and seeing it up close makes people's heart flutter even more. Jiang Ruan asked lightly: "Mr. Li intends to kill someone to silence him?"

"Early tomorrow morning, the people in Beijing will know the news that the princess committed suicide in prison." Li Qiang smiled obscenely: "However, before that, the princess can still enjoy it."

Killing her and saying that she committed suicide, Li Qiang is an idiot when he is in Beijing, he thought that the second aunt and Jiang Li had no brains at all, but I don't think the whole family is like this. But I also know that Second Aunt hates her to the bone, that's why she came up with such a way to torture her. Not only can she lose her innocence before she dies, but she also wants to ruin her reputation.

Seeing that Jiang Ruan's expression had not changed, Li Qiang felt more and more itchy. He opened the prison door with a wave of his hand, and several strong men surrounded him. Li Qiang smiled and said, "Master Hong'an, we will all be very comfortable."

Jiang Ruan's expression froze, and before he could press the mechanism of the blood jade bracelet in his hand, he only heard a "bang", the light of the knife and the blood burst at the same time, and all the people in front of him fell down in an instant, except Li Qiang.

The door had already been kicked open, and the pale gold bat pattern on the corner of the robe of the man in black was shining brightly, as if about to roar out of the brocade clothes, Xiao Shao walked in, and said coldly: "Looking for death."

When Li Qiang saw who was coming, his body trembled suddenly, and he felt a burst of despair. The second aunt didn't say that Jiang Ruan had any special relationship with King Jinying of the Great Jin Dynasty. He was terrified, his lower body became wet for a while, and a foul smell immediately filled the cell. Li Qiang fell to his knees all of a sudden, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty lifts you up..." Before he could finish speaking, there was a stalk in his throat, blood spurted out, and he fell down.

Xiao Shao put away the long sword expressionlessly, and stepped forward.

Jin San, who was hiding in the dark, retreated quietly, and his master went out to save people himself before she could make a move, and it was inconvenient to stay here any longer.

Jiang Ruan calmed down after a brief surprise. She thought that Xiao Shao would come over after seeing the content of the letter, but she didn't want to come so soon. Putting down her left hand covering the blood jade bracelet calmly, she said: "I will trouble you to clean this piece up later."

Xiao Shao nodded, opened the cell door and walked in, frowned when he saw the damp environment everywhere, and said: "Is the thing in the letter true?"

"It's true." Jiang Ruan said: "It shouldn't be used at this time, but... Forget it, it's better to solve it earlier."

The things on the letter were originally meant to be used in the future, but Second Aunt didn't want to be so stupid, so she forced her to take them out in advance. It's just that this will scare the snake in the end, but let's wait and see what happens in the future.

Xiao Shao frowned, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes: "They want to kill you." Not only that, but also wanted to destroy Jiang Ruan's innocence before that, even though she knew that Jin Er Jin San was by her side to protect her. At the time of this incident, there was still a bit of worry in my heart, and when I rushed over like this, thinking of the scene just now, a very faint layer of hostility arose all over my body.

Jiang Ruan didn't realize it, but Xiao Shao's Jin Yiwei must have found out the ins and outs of the matter, and she simply said it generously: "The second aunt was provoked by the fourth sister, and she originally wanted to deal with me like this. The official department Shangshu is nothing to be afraid of, but the one who is difficult to deal with is Yushitai Yuanzheng." Hu Qianqiu has been an official in the court for many years, and his management is very thoughtful, and the emperor still loves this humerus minister very much. In her previous life, she was aware of things related to the Jiang family, but this Hu Qianqiu had never been in touch. In fact, Hu Qianqiu belongs to the fifth prince's faction, and he has nothing to do with Ye Li, but he is a lover who is willing to take such a risk for Second Auntie.

"Leave this to me." Xiao Shao said, "Don't worry."

Jiang Ruan froze slightly, looking at Xiao Shao. Xiao Shao was looking at her with undisguised worry in her eyes, and she said, "Okay."

I can feel that Jiang Ruan's attitude is slowly changing, from initial alienation to gradual trust, perhaps Jiang Ruan himself has not noticed this detail. Xiao Shao's mood improved inexplicably, looked around, and said: "Tonight...you hold on, I will take you out tomorrow."

Jiang Ruan pondered for a while: "You also be careful."

Xiao Shao twitched his lips, thought for a while, squatted down in front of her, took out a small whistle-like thing from his bosom and handed it to Jiang Ruan: "Jin Yiwei lurks everywhere, if there is danger, use this whistle, the nearby The Jinyiwei can come here."

Thinking about it, it should be his personal token. Before Jiang Ruan could speak, Xiao Shao had already stood up and ordered Jin Yiwei to clean up the corpses on the ground. Jiang Ruan put the whistle into his sleeve, his eyes darkened, and he fell into deep thought.

...

In the general's mansion.

Zhao Guang knew about this matter as soon as he came down to court, and he almost didn't directly copy the guy to the Shangshu Mansion. After being finally persuaded by the crowd, Su wiped away tears anxiously: "How could Ruan'er be locked up? I don't believe that she murdered Mrs. Jiang, she must have been slandered."

The men of the Zhao family are all extremely brave, and the women who were born in the Zhao family are all beautiful and weak. Zhao Guang became anxious when Su Shi shed such a tear. Zhao Yuanping persuaded: "Mother, don't worry, the third brother has already gone to the prison to see what's going on."
