No words were spoken that night.
The next day Jiang Zhiyu was supposed to end her vacation and go to work.
But before he got up, Zhuying came to report.
"Miss, the young master is waiting for you, please get up and wash up."
Jiang Zhiyu rubbed his eyes dazedly.
"Brother? What are you waiting for me for?"
"The eldest young master said that he would personally escort the young lady to the palace in the next few days."
"ah?"
Jiang Zhiyu just felt confused.
I simply washed up and had something to eat.
The brother and sister got on the carriage.
On the way, Jiang Kangan thought about it for a long time and couldn't help asking:
"Zhiyu, tell me the truth, big brother. During the duel ceremony yesterday, the Second Prince suddenly requested permission to return to secular life. Was it because of you?"
Jiang Zhiyu hurriedly waved his hands to refuse.
"I don't know that crazy guy well!"
Jiang Kangan: Uh...
Did he express it incorrectly?
"I heard from Ah Fu that he met a woman at the fighting ceremony?"
"I don't know. I have always been by the emperor's side."
Jiang Zhiyu shrugged his shoulders and denied it verbally, but he knew it clearly in his heart.
[Xiao Chuji, that useless guy! Xiurong didn't have to do anything, just stood there! Hey, he was completely bewitched by him~ Do I need to take action to deal with him?]
Jiang Kangan raised his brows helplessly and gave a gentle admonition.
"Zhiyu, I can even find out that the woman is living openly in the mansion, let alone the Second Prince and His Majesty?"
Jiang Zhiyu knew that Jiang Kangan was worried about her.
But she really didn't want to do anything!
"Don't worry, big brother. I didn't mean to hide anything. Xiurong told me yesterday that she has no interest in the Second Prince. It was all his wishful thinking."
[And I believe the Emperor is not so foolish as to fail to find out that Xiurong was abducted by the mad Second Prince!]
If he finds out the truth and indiscriminately covers up for the Second Prince, treating human life as worthless... then I think his reign as Emperor is over!
Jiang Kangan:!!!
My dear sister!
My little ancestor!
I dare not say such words casually, I dare not even think about it!
He cleared his throat hastily and reminded her indirectly.
"Zhiyu, other things are fine, but you are on duty in the Imperial Study, so you must be extremely cautious in your words and actions! People say that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger..."
"Alright, alright, big brother! I get it!"
"Big Bro, why are you so long-winded? If you keep doing this, I won't like you anymore!"
Jiang Kangan: ...
That's all.
I think since Zhiyu is so favored by the emperor, he must be very sensible in his daily actions!
"Okay~ I won't say anything more. Do you want some water?"
Jiang Kangan saw that her lips were a little dry, and just as he took out the water bag to hand it to Jiang Zhiyu, there was a commotion outside the car.
His expression changed as he pushed open the car door.
"Afu, what's going on?"
Ah Fu had already jumped off the carriage and was guarding the front of the carriage.
"Master, it's a riot!"
Jiang Kangan clenched his fists. What the emperor was worried about really happened!
He turned his head and sternly instructed Jiang Zhiyu:
"Stay in the car and don't come out!"
He turned around and jumped off the carriage.
"Brother?!"
It was noisy and chaotic outside, but I wanted Jiang Zhiyu to stay in the car obediently.
How is this possible!
I quietly opened the car door a crack and took a peek.
She saw that the carriage she was in was surrounded by rioting people.
Some of them were carrying farm tools and cooking utensils; others were carrying rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs...
There are men, women, young and old.
He kept cursing and making a lot of noise.
"Hand over Jiang Zhiyu!"
"Hand over the witch!"
"This evil woman is a disaster to the country. Burn her to death!"
"Yes, burn the witch and release Master Tanluan!"
"Burn the witch—release Master Tanluan—"
Jiang Zhiyu finally understood.
It turned out that he came for Tan Luan.
It made her smile involuntarily.
[This fake Tanluan has committed countless evil deeds, yet he still has so many followers! It's really funny...]
Jiang Kang'an heard Jiang Zhiyu's thoughts and looked back at her.
He frowned and signaled her to hide and not come out.
He gave Ah Fu another wink.
Ah Fu nodded and soothed loudly:
"Fellow villagers, please calm down. The grand duel in the capital yesterday has proven that Tan Luan is nothing but a fraud with a false reputation!"
Ah Fu shouted at the top of his lungs, but before he could finish his words, an old lady threw rotten eggs at him.
Others followed suit, rotting leaves and fruits...
They were all thrown at me.
Jiang Kangan saw this.
He quickly pulled down the curtain around the car.
With a spun around, he picked up the garbage thrown at him.
Everyone took a few steps back in surprise.
Jiang Kangan touched the ground with his toes and flew onto the roof of the car.
"How dare you start a riot under the Emperor's feet? Who ordered you to do this? Are you planning to invade the country?"
Now that the hat of killing nine generations of a clan has been put on, who would dare to be the first to do so?
Seeing that the situation was under control, a voice came from the dark alley on the side:
"You are all bewitched by the witch. The Emperor Tianqi favors the witch and persecutes the monks—"
Then the crowd became agitated again and surrounded the carriage.
Jiang Zhiyu opened the car door wider and squinted his eyes to look into the dark alley.
[The Sixth Prince is quite cunning! He's using the Grand Duel Ceremony to set up his scheme.]
If Wujing loses, Tanluan will openly testify against me.
[If Tanluan lost, then this would be the situation now.]
[Hmph, he's worthy of being the last emperor, but...]
