Xie Yu unconsciously recalled the scene when he first met Lu Cijian; it must have been when Lu Cijian had just come out of that place.
He exuded a bloodthirsty murderous intent, which was indescribably terrifying.
Lu Cijian was definitely a childhood nightmare for her back then, but after learning the truth, she felt a little heartache and guilt.
Seeing that the person beside her seemed to have something to say, Jiang Yimian asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Xie Yu hesitated for a long time, then shook his head and didn't say anything.
After all, it was Lu Cijian's private matter, so she couldn't bring herself to speak up.
That incident must have been a psychological trauma for Lu Cijian, and bringing it up again would only be like stabbing him in the heart once more.
Besides, Lu Cijian certainly wouldn't want the person in front of her to know, so it would be better if she did.
Jiang Yimian glanced at her with a puzzled look and briefly recounted what had happened that day.
Xie Yu frowned deeply as he listened, and his voice turned cold. "The Prince of Chu is far too arrogant, acting recklessly because of his reputation among the people. If it weren't for the fact that my brother has been criticized for many years because of what happened back then, he would have been dealt with long ago."
"We won't allow him to cause trouble in the Great Jin."
She encountered many assassins on her way to Qingnan Road. If she hadn't met Captain Zhang, she probably would have lost her life along with those soldiers.
All of this was done by that bastard King Chu, but he did it so cleanly that he left no evidence, making it quite difficult to deal with him.
She wanted to share her brother's burdens, but unfortunately, she lacked the ability.
With a helpless sigh, Xie Yu said, "Never mind, my brother will have his own judgment on these matters. He has his own plans for how to handle them."
Now that the Qingnan matter has been resolved, we should wait a few more days until the river water recedes completely before returning to Beijing.
Fortunately, the Southern Guards are with us this time, so we don't have to worry about assassination attempts again.
With two thousand Southern Guards escorting her, she believed that those fools would not dare to attack again unless they wanted to die.
Given the cautious nature of the King of Chu, he probably wouldn't send anyone else unless he wanted to expose himself.
Jiang Yimian was taken aback and hesitated before asking, "Are those Southern Guards also returning to the capital with us?"
She remembered that Lu Cijian had mentioned a few days ago that the Southern Guards had a garrison and should not easily return to the capital with Wei Jinghai.
At that time, she was worried that they might be assassinated again on their way back to Beijing.
Xie Yu simply said, "Of course, General Wei and I were both assassinated in Qingnan this time, and they will definitely escort us back to the capital."
What if something else happens on the way?
She and Wei Jinghai were unharmed on the way here, entirely due to good luck. If they had experienced another assassination attempt of that scale on the way back, without anyone to escort them, they might have really been in trouble.
Jiang Yimian finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the Southern Guards escorting them, their return to the capital was safe.
Xie Yu suddenly remembered something, coughed lightly, and then asked curiously, "Is Jiang Qingyuan really your brother?"
Although the two looked somewhat similar, she felt they were completely different in other aspects.
Jiang Yimian may appear aloof and distant, but she is actually very warm-hearted. As long as someone is genuinely good to her, she is actually quite accepting of others.
Jiang Qingyuan appears polite and approachable, but he is actually quite distant.
Perhaps because they had fought on the battlefield for so long, they were not so easily trusting.
So much so that every time the other person saw her, they would bow respectfully and then walk away without stopping.
She seemed easy to get along with, but the moment she got close, the person would run away as if they had seen some kind of monster.
The more the other person tried to avoid her, the more amusing she found it.
As the eldest princess of the Great Jin Dynasty, everyone who saw her was flattering her. But this person was different. No matter what she said or did, everyone would always follow the rules and avoid her. She was not like a military general at all, but rather like one of those pedantic civil officials.
I feel conflicted, yet also quite amusing.
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow at her and teased, "Yes, is the princess interested in my brother?"
If Jiang Qingyuan weren't currently suffering from amnesia and didn't remember her, and if they weren't both unmarried, she would actually be interested in bringing them together.
Xie Yu was taken aback, then just smiled and shook his head. "I wouldn't dare. If General Wei knew I was interested in his prized student, he'd come after me!"
She was just curious; she wasn't really interested.
Wei Jinghai was grooming Jiang Qingyuan as his successor, so if she dared to say she had taken a liking to him, the old man would definitely not allow it.
Wei Jinghai would be furious if a promising young general who could fight on the battlefield were to be remembered only as the prince consort.
Seeing that although she was smiling, her words were serious, Jiang Yimian didn't continue teasing her and instead asked, "How is General Wei's injury lately?"
She visited General Wei a few days ago, but seeing that he was being taken care of by many people, she returned home after confirming that nothing serious had happened.
But it has been quite some time, and the person is still not awake.
Xie Yu didn't seem worried at all, and just smiled and said, "I heard from Imperial Physician Chen that General Wei's injuries are slowly recovering, but he is still unconscious because his injuries are too severe."
In the past few days, Physician Liu has not only personally brewed medicine for General Wei, but also made a lot of medicine that is very good for recovery. I have used it and the effect is good. Didn't you get injured a few days ago?
I just happened to bring it for you today.
As she spoke, she pointed to the small porcelain bottle on the table.
Jiang Yimian was stunned for a moment before picking up the small porcelain bottle on the table and sniffing it.
The medicinal herbs were fine, but she was really worried about Liu Zixun.
After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Shouldn't it be someone close to General Wei who brews the medicine? Why is Liu Zixun brewing medicine for General Wei?"
Something unusual must be going on. There must be something wrong with that Liu Zixun. With so many physicians around, why is it that he is the one who needs to brew the medicine?
Xie Yu thought for a while before saying, "I heard that General Wei's medicine is a bit special, and those people can't control the heat well, fearing that the medicine will lose its efficacy, so Physician Liu went to help."
It's only been a few days, what's wrong? Is there a problem?
That Physician Liu is a good person, and his medical skills are decent. There are guards everywhere in General Wei's courtyard, so everything should be fine.
She had met Physician Liu before, and he seemed like a dedicated and honest person who was focused on medical research, not a bad person.
In addition, she had seen him frequently in Wei Jinghai's courtyard in recent days. He was efficient, focused on his own affairs, and did not flatter anyone. She felt that he was quite reliable.
Jiang Yimian found it increasingly strange, and simply said, "I'll go see General Wei."
Liu Zixun was casually flipping through a medical book in his hand, his face calm and expressionless, but he was actually a little irritated inside.
He had just heard that Xu Changli from the Ministry of Works seemed to have gone missing.
I went out this morning and haven't come back yet. I'm really confused.
I was both happy and worried.
The good thing is that if that person disappears, no one will know his feelings for Wei Jinghai. He only needs to continue to drug him, and Wei Jinghai will never wake up again in a few days. He will definitely not be able to return to the capital alive.
What worries him is that if Xu Changli is caught by Lu Cijian and betrays him prematurely, his plan will fall through.
