Chapter 229 Pretentious
Chang He was a little worried, "Sir, you should send a few more people to follow you. The people from the Zhao family are also in Yanzhou City."
"It doesn't matter. My internal energy doesn't need to suppress those two poisons. Even if someone tries to assassinate me, they won't be my opponent. If too many people follow me, they will only hinder me."
Jiang Zhu was very confident in his own ability. "Send someone to look after Master Ru, so as not to distract Auntie."
He never underestimates any opponent.
"It's true that my aunt is the princess, but the male owner of the mansion is not biased towards her. Since there is no love, then power is needed. If they want to get to the top, they must start with offspring."
Princess Yan also told him what happened in her dream.
Although Jiang Zhu was skeptical about this matter, he still prepared for the worst.
That time in Taiming Mountain, if Bai Jingzhi hadn't been by his side, he would have been in great danger.
Either they died of poison or they were stabbed to death.
"If your son doesn't obey, you are allowed to do it."
Jiang Zhu reminded again.
As for Jiang Ru, ever since Jiang Lan got into trouble, King Yan seemed to pay more attention to him and arranged for him to have both civil and military masters.
With the news from Princess Yan, he always felt that Jiang Ru had changed a little.
Jiang Lan and Jiang Ru are brothers from the same mother and have always had a good relationship.
A few days ago, Jiang Ru actually wrote him a letter, explicitly asking for his support.
He didn't mention it at the time because he was afraid that his aunt would be sad.
It seems that there is a problem around Jiang Ru as well.
"If you have nothing else to do, you can tell your aunt about Jiang Ru's letter to me."
Chang He was stunned. "Do you really want to tell me? Will it be——"
"Problems will arise if we don't mention it. It's best to eliminate them right away while they're just starting to appear. Many things collapse from within, so we have to be on guard."
Jiang Zhu gave his instructions and left quietly, and no one in Prince Yan's Mansion noticed.
He came to the house in the east of the city, also quietly, without disturbing anyone.
None of the secret guards and bodyguards placed here by the King of Yan discovered him.
Jiang Zhu thought, "Fortunately, we are here this time. If it were a training camp in the suburbs, it would take more effort."
This house is not small, with three courtyards.
The scenery inside is also nice, and you can tell at a glance that it was designed with great care.
Jiang Zhu also had an idea in his mind. The King of Yan had put so much thought into this house, it seemed that he cared about Hua Guiqing.
Seeing how Prince Yan acted, it was inevitable that my aunt would be sad.
At this moment, he admired the people of the Nalan family a little.
Even with just these few people, they were able to figure out Hua Guiqing's situation.
If there is a chance, I will go to the secret passage in the study to find out what's going on.
As expected, the Prince of Yan's appearance of being indifferent to the world and being forced to fight back was all an act.
The Prince of Yan is the ambitious one, but also the one who bides his time.
The King of Li and the King of Ming combined might not be a match for the King of Yan.
This time, Prince Yan took his eldest son on the journey. The one on the throne would certainly not be suspicious of him and would only relax his vigilance.
This time, the Prince of Yan acted casually and played everyone around, so we have to be on guard.
It is not easy for Bai Jingzhi to take advantage.
After entering the house, Jiang Zhu went straight to the yard where Hua Guiqing was.
He flashed by like a gust of wind and was not noticed by anyone.
Jiang Zhu lay on the roof, carefully lifted a tile, and saw what was going on inside.
Hua Guiqing was lying on the bed with black medicine all over her face.
"Your Highness, you have to make the decision for me. My sister was too harsh. Look at my hands and my face. She wants to kill me."
Hua Guiqing spoke in a sweet voice and acted coquettishly towards King Yan, letting him make the decision.
Because of the medicine, Jiang Zhu couldn't see her face clearly.
This sound is disgusting.
It was the first time that Jiang Zhu met such a pretentious woman and he felt very uncomfortable.
He also didn't expect that King Yan would like this.
No wonder Prince Yan asked his aunt to learn to be gentle and virtuous. It turns out that Prince Yan likes someone else.
Poor aunt, she has been so foolish all these years.
"Princess, you don't know martial arts. Tell me, did you deliberately stab yourself with those wood chips just to get into the palace?"
Prince Yan had just arrived and he was not present when Hua Guiqing changed the medicine.
After he finished speaking, Hua Guiqing sat up in a daze, "Your Majesty, look at my hands, my ten fingers are almost broken, is it necessary for me to use a self-torture trick to do this?"
Hua Guiqing's hands were indeed swollen and there were bloodstains on them.
"In order to frame the princess, you are so cruel to yourself." After hearing what An Yi said, King Yan did not believe what she said.
Hua Guiqing does have martial arts skills, and they are not weak.
It was because of her rescue that he escaped the assassination attempt by his brothers.
It is not an exaggeration to call him a lifesaver.
Besides, Hua Guiqing is extremely smart and knows how to hide his shortcomings.
It was because of her inspiration that the King of Yan decided to keep a low profile. Otherwise, how could he, a descendant of a royal family, bow his head before a minister like Nalan Huixin?
Unfortunately, he had bad luck. The Hua family was destroyed, and the Nalan family was ignorant of the current situation. Over the years, not many people were willing to join him.
"You insisted on going to the study in the palace that day. Who can you blame? I have warned you before that you should not go there without my message."
When King Yan saw her miserable appearance, his heart softened.
"How did you get hurt? Tell the truth, don't hide anything."
Hua Guiqing suddenly felt wronged, tears welled up in her eyes, "Prince, you still don't understand me after all these years? I came down to check my skin, it would hurt if the skin was broken, would I hurt myself?"
"Besides, even if I hurt myself, how can I make these sawdusts hit my face in an orderly manner?"
"Luckily I was wearing thick clothes, so I didn't have many wounds on my body. Even if I hurt myself, I wouldn't joke about my face."
The black ointment was washed away by tears, revealing Hua Guiqing's wound.
"Gui'er, why is it so serious? Yesterday it looked like just a scratch, how could it be like this? What did the miracle doctor say?"
King Yan was also shocked. His once beautiful face was now covered with deep round wounds.
"The miracle doctor said that if you take good care of yourself, you will recover." Hua Guiqing's face was covered with ointment. She didn't dare to throw herself into Prince Yan's arms, so she could only lie on the bed and sob.
King Yan said nothing more.
Jiang Zhu was guarding on the roof, and he had an idea in mind that King Yan was still wary of his aunt.
"Gui'er, take good care of her. I will seek justice for you." The King of Yan couldn't bear it and looked away. "When we exchange, I won't let Jiang Lan come back to Yanzhou alive."
After hearing this, Hua Guiqing stopped sobbing and said, "My Lord, that's your eldest son. Are you really willing to let him go?"
If that's the case, her injury is worth it.
"The king's legacy will only be passed on to the most outstanding child. The princess is stupid, and her children are like her. They are not as smart as the two brothers."
"Just rest and recover. I'll come to see you whenever I'm free."
After giving these instructions, Prince Yan left the house.
Jiang Zhu heard it clearly on the roof. He was angry, so he found Hua Guiqing's medicine and added something into it.
We need to pay more attention to Jiang Lan's side, and nothing can go wrong.
